         Recitals:

         A.       North Atlantic is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and
Liquidator is the wholly-owned subsidiary of North Atlantic.

         B.       Assignors and Liquidator, with certain of their other
affiliates, have initiated a corporate restructuring (the "Restructuring"),
whereby, among other things: (i) certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of
North Atlantic will borrow funds in order to repay certain outstanding
consolidated indebtedness of Parent and North Atlantic, the excess proceeds of
which borrowings will be distributed to North Atlantic and then to Parent; (ii)
after receipt of such proceeds, Parent desires to begin liquidation proceedings
under Luxembourg law in order to liquidate and distribute all of its assets to
its shareholders (the "Liquidation"); (iii) in connection with the Restructuring
and the Liquidation, Parent and North Atlantic desire North Atlantic to
contribute all of its assets and liabilities to Liquidator and Liquidator has
determined to accept such contribution, and (iv) Parent's shareholders desire to
appoint Liquidator to act as the liquidator for the Liquidation and Liquidator
has determined to accept such appointment as provided herein, and, in such
capacity Liquidator will assume all of Parent's contingent and unknown
liabilities that are not satisfied in the Liquidation.

         NOW, THEREFORE, to implement the foregoing and in consideration of the
mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.       Appointment of Liquidator. (a) Parent hereby appoints Liquidator,
         effective as of the Effective Time (as defined in Section 4), to act as
         the liquidator of Parent in the Liquidation in accordance with
         Luxembourg law, and Liquidator hereby accepts such appointment and
         agrees to devote such time and attention to providing such services as
         is necessary to consummate the Liquidation as promptly as practicable.
         Each of Parent and Liquidator acknowledges that the appointment
         hereunder and the consummation of the Liquidation is subject to the
         approval of Parent's shareholders in accordance with applicable law.

         (b)      Liquidator shall have the broadest powers to carry out its
         mandate, and in particular all the powers provided for by article 144
         and following of the law of August 10, 1915 relating to commercial
         companies, as amended, without having to ask for authorization of the
         general meeting of shareholders in the cases provided for by law. In
         particular and without limitation, Liquidator shall have

<PAGE>

         the power and authority in its sole discretion (i) to assign or
         transfer contracts to which Parent is a party to other related or
         unrelated companies, (ii) to settle Parent's debts and make provision
         therefor, (iii) to declare and pay one or more liquidating
         distributions to Parent's shareholders of Parent's projected assets in
         excess of projected liabilities prior to the consummation of the
         Liquidation, and (iv) to call, adjourn and postpone general meetings of
         the Parent's shareholders as Liquidator may deem necessary. There shall
         be no obligation for Liquidator to draw up an inventory; and Liquidator
         may, as it deems necessary or expedient in its sole discretion,
         delegate to one or several agents such powers and for such period as it
         determines. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing
         herein shall be deemed to have granted to the Liquidator the right to
         vote the shares of Parent at any general or extraordinary meeting of
         Parents' shareholders. The Liquidator hereby agrees to call one or more
         meetings of such shareholders at the request of the holders of 20% or
         more of the outstanding voting stock of Parent.

2.       Transfer of North Atlantic Assets. In accordance with applicable law,

         $30,000). The assignment and assumption hereunder will be effected as a
         contribution to the share premium of Liquidator in exchange for
         additional shares of capital stock of Liquidator.

         incurred with respect to third parties or otherwise, in any way
         resulting from, arising out of or in connection with, based upon or
         relating to (A) the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of

<PAGE>

         is yet to occur or (C) except to the extent that any such Obligation is
         found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
         resulted from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of CD&R,
         the performance by CD&R of management consulting, monitoring, financial
         advisory or other services for any member of the Company Group (whether
         performed prior to the date hereof, hereafter, pursuant to the
         Consulting Agreement or otherwise); and

                  (ii)     to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
         from and against any and all Obligations in any way resulting from,
         arising out of or in connection with, based upon or relating to (A) the
         fact that such Indemnitee is or was a director or an officer of any
         member of the Company Group or is or was serving at the request of such
         corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of or advisor or
         consultant to another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
         other enterprise or (B) any breach or alleged breach by such Indemnitee
         of his or her fiduciary duty as a director or an officer of any member

in each case including but not limited to any and all fees, costs and expenses

securities or other laws, rules or regulations in connection with (i) the

untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Related Document or (iii)
any omission or alleged omission to state in any Related Document a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Parties shall
not be obligated to indemnify such Indemnitee from and against any such
Obligation to the extent that such Obligation arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or omission made in such Related Document in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to CDRJ, Jafra US, North
Atlantic, Jafra Worldwide and Jafra Distribution (Mexico) or Jafra Mexico, as
the case may be, in an instrument duly executed by such Indemnitee and

         3.       Contribution.

         (a)      Except to the extent that Section 3(b) is applicable, if for
any reason the indemnity provided for in Section 2(a) is unavailable or is
insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee from any of the Obligations covered
by such indemnity, then the Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such
Obligation in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative
fault of each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee,
on the other, in connection with the state of facts giving rise to such
Obligation, (ii) if such Obligation results from, arises out of, is based upon
or relates to the Transactions or any Securities Offering, the relative benefits
received by each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such
Indemnitee, on the other, from such Transaction or Securities Offering and (iii)
if required by applicable law, any other relevant equitable considerations.

         (b)      If for any reason the indemnity specifically provided for in
Section 2(b) is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee
from any of the Obligations covered by such indemnity, then the Indemnifying
Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Indemnitee as a result of such Obligation in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of each of the members of the
Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, in connection
with the information contained in or omitted from any Related Document, which
inclusion or omission resulted in the inaccuracy or breach of or default under
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement therein, or which
information is or is alleged to be untrue, required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the relative
benefits received by the members of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such
Indemnitee, on the other, from such Transaction or Securities Offering and (iii)
if required by applicable law, any other relevant equitable considerations.

         (c)      For purposes of Section 3(a), the relative fault of each
member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and of the Indemnitee, on the
other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, their respective
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct the
state of facts giving rise to such Obligation. For purposes of Section 3(b), the
relative fault of each of the members of the Company Group, on the one hand, and
of the Indemnitee, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, (i) whether the included or omitted information relates to
information supplied by the members of the Company Group, on the one hand, or by
such Indemnitee, on the other, and (ii) their respective relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct such inaccuracy,
breach, default, untrue or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged
omission. For purposes of Section 3(a) or 3(b), the relative benefits received
by each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and the Indemnitee, on the
other, shall

                                       8

<PAGE>

be determined by weighing the direct monetary proceeds to the Company Group, on
the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, from such Transaction or
Securities Offering.

         (d)      The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contributions pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b) were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does
not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in such
respective Section. The Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable under Section
3(a) or 3(b), as applicable, for contribution to the amount paid or payable by
any Indemnitee except to the extent and under such circumstances any
Indemnifying Party would have been liable to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
such Indemnitee under the corresponding Section 2(a) or 2(b), as applicable, if
such indemnity were enforceable under applicable law. No Indemnitee shall be
entitled to contribution from any Indemnifying Party with respect to any
Obligation covered by the indemnity specifically provided for in Section 2(b) in
the event that such Indemnitee is finally determined to be guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in
connection with such Obligation and the Indemnifying Parties are not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.

         4.       Indemnification Procedures.

         (a)      Whenever any Indemnitee shall have actual knowledge of the
reasonable likelihood of the assertion of a Claim, CD&R (acting on its own
behalf or, if requested by any such Indemnitee other than itself, on behalf of
such Indemnitee) or such Indemnitee shall notify the appropriate member of the
Company Group in writing of the Claim (the "Notice of Claim") with reasonable
promptness after such Indemnitee has such knowledge relating to such Claim and
has notified CD&R thereof. The Notice of Claim shall specify all material facts
known to CD&R (or if given by such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee) that may give
rise to such Claim and the monetary amount or an estimate of the monetary amount
of the Obligation involved if CD&R (or if given by such Indemnitee, such
Indemnitee) has knowledge of such amount or a reasonable basis for making such
an estimate. The failure of CD&R to give such Notice of Claim shall not relieve
any Indemnifying Party of its respective indemnification obligations under this
Agreement except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of actual
notice to it and it is materially injured as a result of the failure to give
such Notice of Claim. The Indemnifying Parties shall, at their expense,
undertake the defense of such Claim with attorneys of their own choosing
satisfactory in all respects to CD&R. CD&R may participate in such defense with
counsel of CD&R's choosing at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties. In the
event that none of the Indemnifying Parties undertake the defense of the Claim
within a reasonable time after CD&R has given the Notice of Claim, or in the
event that CD&R shall in good faith determine that the defense of any claim by
the Indemnifying Parties is inadequate or may conflict with the interest of any
Indemnitee, CD&R may, at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties and after
giving

                                       9

<PAGE>

notice to the Indemnifying Parties of such action, undertake the defense of the
Claim and compromise or settle the Claim, all for the account of and at the risk
of the Indemnifying Parties. In the defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying
Parties shall not, except with the prior written consent of CD&R, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that includes any injunctive
or other non-monetary relief, or that does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the person or persons asserting such Claim to such
Indemnitee of a release from all liability with respect to such Claim. In each
case, CD&R and each other Indemnitee seeking indemnification hereunder will
cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties, so long as the Indemnifying Parties are
conducting the defense of the Claim, in the preparation for and the prosecution
of the defense of such Claim, including making available evidence within the
control of CD&R or such Indemnitee, as the case may be, and persons needed as
witnesses who are employed by CD&R or such Indemnitee, as the case may be, in
each case as reasonably needed for such defense and at cost, which cost, to the
extent reasonably incurred, shall be paid by the Indemnifying Parties.

         (b)      The Indemnifying Parties hereby agree to advance costs and
expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by CD&R (acting on its own behalf
or, if requested by any such Indemnitee other than itself, on behalf of such
Indemnitee) or any Indemnitee in defending any Claim in advance of the final
disposition of such Claim upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of CD&R
or such Indemnitee to repay amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined that CD&R or such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by any
Indemnifying Party as authorized by this Agreement.

         (c)      CD&R shall notify the Indemnifying Parties in writing of the
amount of any Claim actually paid by CD&R (the "Notice of Payment"). The amount
of any Claim actually paid by CD&R shall bear simple interest at the rate equal
to The Chase Manhattan Bank prime rate as of the date of such payment plus 2%
per annum, from the date any Indemnifying Party receives the Notice of Payment
to the date on which any Indemnifying Party shall repay the amount of such Claim
plus interest thereon to CD&R.

         5.       Certain Covenants. (a) North Atlantic and Jafra Worldwide each
agrees to cause Jafra US, Jafra Mexico and Jafra Distribution (Mexico) to
perform their respective obligations under this Agreement. The rights of each
Indemnitee to be indemnified under any other agreement, document, certificate or
instrument or applicable law are independent of and in addition to any rights of
such Indemnitee to be indemnified under this Agreement. The rights of each
Indemnitee and the obligations of Jafra US and Jafra Mexico, North Atlantic,
Jafra Worldwide, Jafra Distribution (Mexico) hereunder shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Indemnitee. Jafra US shall maintain the State of Delaware as its state of
incorporation and shall implement and maintain in full force and effect any and
all corporate charter and by-law provisions that may be necessary or appropriate
to enable it to carry out its obligations hereunder to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware

                                       10

<PAGE>

corporate law, including without limitation a provision of its certificate of
incorporation eliminating liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty
to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) (or any successor section
thereto) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as it may be
amended from time to time.

         (b)      Jafra Worldwide hereby asumes and agreees to perform all of
the obligations of CDRJ under this Agreement from and after the Liqidation as if
such obligations were its own obligations.
