CREDIT ENHANCEMENT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.23

CREDIT ENHANCEMENT AGREEMENT

This Credit Enhancement Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated (for identification purposes only) as of September 15, 2006, by and between on one hand The Fashion House Holdings, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“FHH”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Fashion House, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FHI”), acting jointly and severally hereunder, and on the other hand, Westrec Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Westrec”), and its controlling member, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, an individual (“Sachs”) (“Guarantor”).

Recitals

A. FHI and FHH (singly and collectively, “Borrower”) have been unable to obtain without the assistance of Westrec and Sachs (singly “Guarantor”, and collectively, the “Guarantors”) the third-party financing that FHI needs to continue to operate.

B. At the behest of the Guarantors, Comerica Bank (“Lender”) has agreed to provide such financing to FHI in accordance with the Loan Documents (as defined below), but Lender will not provide such financing to FHI without guaranties thereof from Guarantor.

C. Solely as an accommodation to Borrower, the Guarantors are willing to issue the Guaranties (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions contained herein.

Now, Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower and the Guarantors (singly each sometimes herein, a “Party”, and collectively both sometimes herein, the “Parties”) hereby agree as follows:

Agreement

1. The Guaranty: Reference is made to that certain letter agreement dated the date hereof between FHI and Lender (the “Loan Agreement”) and to the documents defined therein as the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Master Revolving Note (the “Note”) given by FHI to the Lender (such Loan Agreement, Note and other Loan Documents collectively, the “Loan Documents”). Pursuant to the Loan Documents, Lender has agreed to provide to FHI financing in the form of a revolving line-of-credit (the “Revolving Line-of-Credit”). Concurrently with (and as a condition to) the closing under the Loan Agreement (the “Closing”), each Guarantor shall deliver to the Lender a guaranty in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender (singly a “Guaranty”, and collectively the “Guaranties”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein or in any other document contemplated hereby, each Guaranty shall apply only to obligations guaranteed thereunder existing on or before the date that is the earliest of (the “Guaranty Termination Date”) (i) one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Closing; (ii) the date that Guarantor delivers to Borrower written notice of Guarantor’s termination of the Guaranty along with a written consent from Lender thereto; or (iii) the date that Borrower delivers to Guarantor written notice of Borrower’s repayment in full (and termination) of the Revolving Line-of-Credit along with written confirmation thereof from Lender, it being understood that Borrower shall have the right at any time, without premium or penalty, to do so. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranty shall not apply to increases in the indebtedness owed on the Revolving Line-of-Credit arising after the Guaranty Termination Date.

2. Consideration for Guaranty: In addition to Borrower’s obligations, representations and warranties hereunder, as consideration for the Guarantors’ issuances of the Guaranties, Borrower shall do as follows:

(a) Letters-of-Credit-Based Fees: For the issuance of each letter-of-credit (if any) guaranteed by a Guarantor under a Guaranty and until such letter-of-credit is no longer guaranteed under a Guaranty, Borrower shall pay to Westrec, upon or before the issuance of each such letter-of-credit and whenever thereafter a letter-of-credit fee is owed to Lender for a renewal or extension or modification of such letter-of-credit, a cash amount equal to two percent (2%) of the face amount thereof. FHI shall not pay, or be obligated to pay, to Lender under the Loan Documents a fee for any letter-of-credit in excess of a cash amount equal to one percent (1%) of the face amount thereof

(b) Revolving Line-of-Credit-Based Fees: Borrower shall pay to Westrec monthly in arrears, for so long as any amount outstanding on the Revolving Line-of-Credit is guaranteed under a Guaranty, fees (the “Revolving Line Fees”) equal to the difference between (i) an amount equal to the interest accrued for the month in question under the Note using however (in lieu of the actual interest rate under the Note) the greater of (A) the sum of twenty percent (20%) per annum, plus (if applicable) the Default Increase (as defined below), or (B) the sum of the Lender’s prime rate (as defined in the Note) plus 11.75% per annum, plus (if applicable) the Default Increase, less (ii) an amount equal to the interest actually accrued for the month in question under the Note using the actual interest rate thereunder, plus the Default Increase (if applicable). As used herein, “Default Increase” means the percentage increase to the interest rate under the Note arising by reason of a default thereunder, namely, an increase of three percent (3%) per annum. The Default Increase shall apply hereunder only if and when the Lender is entitled to charge it under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall pay the Revolving Line Fees to Westrec regardless of whether Lender fails, voluntarily, involuntarily or otherwise for any reason whatsoever, to demand, receive or collect the interest or the Default Increase in accordance with the terms of the Note.

(c) Warrants: On or before the Closing, FHH shall issue to Westrec a Warrant in the form and substance of the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrant”).

(d) Security for Agreement Obligations: On or before the Closing, FHH and FHI shall each deliver to the Guarantors a security agreement in the form and substance of the forms attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “FHH Security Agreement”) and Exhibit C (the “FHI Security Agreement”), pursuant to which Borrower shall grant to the Guarantors a perfected security interest in all Borrower’s tangible and intangible property and assets, which security interest shall be prior to all others except those of Lender and any others, if any, approved by the Guarantors.

(e) Xxxxx Secured Guaranty: On or before the Closing, Xxxx Xxxxx, the Chief Executive Officer of FHH acting in his personal capacity (“Xxxxx”), shall deliver to the Guarantors his personal guaranty in the form and substance of the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Xxxxx Guaranty”), and a Pledge and Security Agreement in the form and substance of the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Xxxxx Pledge”), pursuant to which Xxxxx shall (i) grant to the Guarantors a first-priority security interest and pledge of all FHH common stock,

options, warrants and other equity securities (if any) held by him, and (ii) deliver to the Guarantors any and all original certificates evidencing such common stock and warrants along with stock and warrant transfer instruments duly endorsed in blank (collectively, the “Xxxxx Certificates”).

(f) Transaction Expenses: On or before the Closing, Borrower, not the Guarantors, shall pay and be responsible for any and all costs, fees and expenses arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement, the Warrant, the Xxxxx Guaranty, the Xxxxx Pledge, the FHI Security Agreement and the FHH Security Agreement (collectively, the “Credit Enhancement Documents”) and the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, “Costs and Expenses”), including, without limitation, any filing or recordation fees, the fees and disbursements of the Guarantors’ in-house and outside legal counsel, and the Guarantors’ expenses incurred for its due diligence or otherwise, including, without limitation, fees and expenses for travel, auditing, appraisal work and miscellaneous items. Borrower shall reimburse the Guarantors upon their demand for any such Costs and Expenses that the Guarantors may have elected to pay. The aggregate of the Costs and Expenses through the Closing will not exceed Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000); provided, however, that Borrower shall pay any amounts in excess of that aggregate maximum arising by reason of currently unanticipated legal fees and expenses due to more extensive than currently anticipated negotiations among Borrower, Lender, the Guarantors and their respective counsels, it being understood that the Guarantors shall endeavor to give Borrower advance notice of any such unanticipated legal fees and expenses whenever the Guarantors believe that they may be incurred. Borrower shall pay all Costs and Expenses regardless of whether the Closing occurs or the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

(g) Credit Monitoring Fee: Borrower shall pay to Westrec for each calendar month up to and including the month that the Agreement Termination Date (as defined below) occurs a monthly credit monitoring fee of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), such fee to be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar month and shall be prorated for each partial calendar month prior to the Agreement Termination Date.

(h) Late Fee: Borrower acknowledges that any late payment hereunder will cause the Guarantors to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement, and proof of actual damages would be costly or inconvenient. Therefore, should Borrower fail to pay any amount due hereunder, including, without limitation, any amount due under subsections (a), (b) or (g) of this Section 2, within ten calendar days after the due date thereof, Borrower shall pay to Westrec (without further notice or demand from the Guarantors) an amount (the “Late Fee”) equal to five percent (5%) of each such late payment, but Westrec’s acceptance of any such Late Fee shall not constitute a waiver by Guarantors of any Event of Default (as defined below) or of any right or remedy of the Guarantors hereunder. Only one Late Fee shall be collected on account of any late payment regardless of the period during which it remains in default. The Late Fee represents a reasonable sum considering all the circumstances existing on the date of this Agreement and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Westrec will incur by reason of late payment.

3. Agreement Termination Date: Notwithstanding any Guaranty Termination Date, Borrower’s and/or Xxxxx’x obligations to Guarantor under the Credit Enhancement Documents, and each Guarantor’s rights and remedies against Borrower and/or Xxxxx thereunder,

shall remain in full force and effect until the date that the following conditions are fulfilled (the “Agreement Termination Date”):

(i) Lender shall deliver to each Guarantor its or his original Guaranty and a written release (the “Lender Release”) whereby Lender shall forever waive, and release such Guarantor from, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, costs or expenses, (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs) whether known, unknown, suspected or unsuspected (collectively, “Released Claims”), arising out of, or in connection with, such Guaranty, any obligations of the Guarantor thereunder, and any transactions contemplated thereby, such Lender Release to be in a form and substance entirely satisfactory to such Guarantor and its or his legal counsel.

(ii) Borrower shall deliver in cash (A) (to Westrec) any and all amounts payable under Sections 2(a), (b),(g) and (h) above through the effective date of the Lender Release; (B) (to the Guarantors) any other amounts, if any, that Borrower and/or Xxxxx may owe to the Guarantors under the Credit Enhancement Documents; and (C) (to the Guarantors) an amount equal to the Guarantors’ out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of the Guarantors’ legal counsel, incurred in connection with or pursuant to this Section 3(a).

(iii) Borrower and Xxxxx shall deliver to the Guarantors a written release (the “Borrower/Xxxxx Release”) whereby Borrower and Xxxxx, acting jointly and severally, shall forever waive, and release the Guarantors from, any Released Claims arising out of, or in connection with, the Credit Enhancement Documents and any transactions contemplated thereby, such Borrower/Xxxxx Release to be in a form and substance entirely satisfactory to the Guarantors and their legal counsel.

(iv) Neither Borrower nor Xxxxx shall be in default of any of its or his obligations to a Guarantor under any Credit Enhancement Document.

4. Additional Borrower Covenants:

(a) Modifications of Loan Documents: Borrower shall not, without the Guarantors’ prior written consent, which consent the Guarantors may withhold in their sole and absolute discretion, modify, amend, supplement, terminate or otherwise change any Loan Document, whether orally, in writing, by conduct, by acquiescence or otherwise.

(b) Guarantor Right to Approve Draws: Each draw by FHI on its Revolving Line-of-Credit (including, without limitation, each request for additional loan funds and each request for a letter-of-credit under the Loan Documents) (singly and collectively, “Draw”) shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Guarantors, which approval the Guarantors may withhold in their sole and absolute discretion.

(c) FHI Receivables: All FHI receivables shall go to a lockbox, be collected solely by CIT (or another financial institution satisfactory to Westrec), and be delivered by CIT (or such other institution) directly to Lender.

(d) Incorporation of Loan Agreement Provisions: Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Loan Agreement (as the same exist at the Closing) are hereby incorporated herein as if set forth in full herein, except that for purposes of this incorporation, (i) the terms Bank, Company and Agreement in such Sections shall mean, respectively, the Guarantors, FHI and this Agreement, and (ii) other defined terms used in such incorporated Sections shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement. To the extent that any provisions of any Loan Document are incorporated herein, such incorporated provisions shall not be considered changed or terminated hereunder unless and until the Guarantors specifically agree to such change or termination for purposes of the incorporation thereof in this Section.

(e) Guarantor Due Diligence: The Guarantors shall have the right to perform, from time to time before and after the Closing, such investigations and due diligence with respect to Borrower, Xxxxx and any collateral granted to Guarantor under any Credit Enhancement Document (collectively, “Collateral”) as the Guarantors may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other obligations of Borrower or Xxxxx under any Credit Enhancement Document, the Guarantors shall have the right to access to, and to receive copies of, such financial and other information or reports about Borrower and/or any Collateral as the Guarantors may in their sole and absolute discretion request.

(f) FHI Performance of Loan Documents: FHI shall perform its obligations under the Loan Documents in a timely manner, and shall not otherwise default in its obligations thereunder.

Borrower hereby indemnifies, agrees to defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Guarantors), and holds harmless the Guarantors and their directors, officers, managers, members, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, obligations, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs) resulting from, arising out of, or related to: (i) any Credit Enhancement Document, or any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any breach by Borrower thereunder; (ii) the Guaranties, including without limitation, any payments made by a Guarantor under a Guaranty; and (iii) any action, suit, proceeding or claim by Lender (or its successors) against an Indemnified Party under or with respect to any Credit Enhancement Document, any Guaranty, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated thereby.

(h) Board and Shareholder Meeting Attendance: Borrower shall deliver to the Guarantors no less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of any meeting of FHI’s or FHH’s board of directors or of its shareholders.

5. Borrower Representations and Warranties: In addition to the representations and warranties made to the Guarantors by virtue of the incorporation of Section 3 of the Loan Agreement in Section 4(d) above, each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Guarantors:

(e) No Pending Claims: There is not pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, any claim, action, suit, proceeding or arbitration against any member of the Borrower Group, or any director or officer of any member of the Borrower Group in his or her capacity as such, that could have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Financials: The consolidated financial statements included in the SEC Documents fairly present the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity of the Borrower Group at the respective dates and for the respective periods to which they apply; such financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) with respect hereto when filed, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as may be otherwise stated therein (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC).

(j) Renewal of Representations: All Borrower’s representations and warranties herein (whether made by incorporation under Section 4(d) hereof or in this Section 5 or otherwise) are made as of the Closing and as of each date thereafter that FHI requests a Draw. and as of each date that FHI receives a Draw.

6. Guarantor Representations and Warranties: In connection with the Warrant, each Guarantor represents and warrants to Borrower as follows:

(a) Investment Intent: Westrec is acquiring the Warrant for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribution of the Warrant in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended).

(b) Acceptance of Risk: The Guarantors understand that an investment in the Warrant involves a high degree of risk, and each Guarantor has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of this investment in the Warrant, including a complete loss of such investment.

(c) Knowledge and Experience: Each Guarantor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it or he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Warrant and in protecting its or his own interest in connection with this transaction.

(d) No Registration: The Guarantors understand that the issuance of the Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or under any state securities laws. The Guarantors are familiar with the provisions of the Securities Act and Rule 144 thereunder and understand that the restrictions on transfer on the Warrant may result in Westrec being required to hold the Warrant for an indefinite period of time.

(e) Restricted Transfers: Westrec agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, gift, create a security interest in, or otherwise dispose of, with or without consideration (collectively, “Transfer”) the Warrant or any portion thereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration. As a further condition to any such Transfer, except in the event that such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to FHH any Transfer of the Warrant by the contemplated transferee thereof would not be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, FHH may require the contemplated transferee to furnish FHH with an investment letter setting forth such information and agreements as may be reasonably requested by FHH to ensure compliance by such transferee with the Securities Act.

7. Closing Conditions: Neither Party shall be obligated hereunder unless and until each Party has executed this Agreement and delivered it to the other Party and the Closing has occurred, at which time this Agreement shall supersede the Parties obligations to one another under that certain letter agreement between them dated August 31, 2006.

8. Events of Default: In addition to any other rights or remedies that the Guarantors may have otherwise under any Credit Enhancement Document or otherwise, upon the occurrence of, and at any time during the continuance or existence of, any Event of Default hereunder, the Guarantors may exercise any and all rights and remedies that they may have available to them as a result thereof, whether by agreement, by law or otherwise. As used herein, an “Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred or exist under this Agreement upon the occurrence and/or existence of any of the following conditions:

(a) Breach of Obligations: Borrower shall fail to pay or perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Enhancement Document;

(b) Breach of Representations: Any representation, warranty, certification or statement made or deemed to have been made by the Borrower herein or in any other Credit Enhancement Document, or in any certificate, financial statement or other document or agreement delivered to the Guarantors by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Enhancement Document shall prove to be untrue in any material respect;

(c) Loan Agreement Defaults: An Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall exist, regardless of whether or how the Lender enforces its rights and remedies with respect thereto;

(d) Borrower Changes: Any change for any reason whatsoever in the management, ownership or control of either Borrower that, in the sole discretion of the Guarantors, could result in a Material Adverse Effect.

which itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that all Parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

(m) Prevailing Party.
