Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 24, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Spy Optic, Inc., a California corporation (the “Merged Entity”), and BBMB, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”), the Merged Entity agreed to merge with and into the Surviving Corporation, with the Surviving Corporation as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). The Surviving Corporation subsequently changed its name to “Orange 21 Inc.” Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Bank must consent to the Merger and the name change.
Orange 21 Inc. desires to assume all obligations of the Merged Entity under the Agreement and the Loan Documents (as defined therein) (the “Assumption”). Further, the parties desire to amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. To the extent not already provided for in the Merger Agreement or otherwise made effective as a consequence of the Merger, Orange 21 Inc. hereby assumes, all obligations of the Merged Entity, including, but not limited to, the payment of any amounts outstanding (including but not limited to principal, interest, Bank Expenses, fees, attorney’s fees, and collection fees), under the Loan Documents. Orange 21 Inc. confirms that, to secure such performance, Orange 21 Inc. grants Bank a security interest in the Collateral, as defined in the Agreement.

3. Bank hereby consents to the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, provided all the terms of this Amendment and the Loan Documents are complied with, and the name change described above. Except for any failure to repay any obligations when due under the Loan Documents, Bank waives any Events of Default under the Agreement arising out of the Merger or the name change. This waiver is specific as to time and content and Bank does not waive any other failure by the Merged Entity or Orange 21 Inc. to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. This waiver is not a continuing waiver with respect to any failure to perform any obligation after the date of this Amendment.
