7.   Laura Ashley waives any right to terminate the Licence as may exist as of
     31 January 2003 based on clause 13.2.2, and agrees that for all purposes
     under the Licence and the Licensee shall be deemed to have not failed in
     the Contract Year ended 31 January 2003 to have sufficient Net Sales to
     generate Royalty amounts which equal or exceed the Minimum Royalty in any
     Category of such Year.

8.   The revised Minimum Royalties shall revert to the original Minimum
     Royalties with retrospective effect if Laura Ashley shall be entitled to
     terminate the Licence in accordance with its terms, or, if applicable,
     under the common law.

INITIO should a change of control to which Laura Ashley approves does not occur
by 30 April 2003. Further, any consent to any change of control relating to the
Transaction (as defined in the relevant Consent document) signed by or on behalf
