For this purpose, it will be understood that they agree not to invoke the protection of their government. Otherwise, they will lose the benefits that they would have received from the Mexican nation.

COMPANY CAPITAL AND SHARES

SIX. - The Company's capital is variable. The minimum fixed capital is FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS (national currency), represented by fifty ordinary and registered SHARES each with the value of ONE THOUSAND PESOS (national currency). The variable part of the capital does not have a limit and will be represented by ordinary or preferred shares that will have the characteristics determined during the Special Shareholders Meeting in which approval is granted to issue said shares. With the exception of special series of shares that are issued by a resolution made during the Special Shareholders Meeting, all holders of these shares will be granted equal rights and obligations.

SEVEN. - Increases or reductions in the variable capital can be made based on a resolution issued during the General Shareholders Meeting. This resolution does not need to be


6

recorded or inscribed in the corresponding Public Commerce Registry. This resolution must also indicate the conditions in which said increase or reduction must be implemented, such as the subscription and payment terms of the same, the characteristics of the shares that are issued and any other related matter. Said capital increases can be paid in cash or in kind by the company's shareholders as agreed-upon by the company's shareholders and resolved at the Shareholders Meeting in which the decision was made to increase the capital.

TEN. - The share certificates will contain the signature of the Single Administrator or that of the members of the Board of Directors, according to the case. If authorized by the Board of Directors, members' signatures can be copies, provided that the original signatures are deposited in the corresponding Public Commerce Registry.

7

ELEVEN. - The Company must keep a registry of shares in which all of the subscription, acquisition or transfer activities are recorded along with any encumbrances to which the representative shares of the corporate capital are subject.

The Company will consider the owner of the registered shares to be the person registered as such in the Share Registry unless the holder of one or more shares can prove the acquisition and ownership of the same by means of a legally-recognized certificate. The Registry will be closed three days before the date it is signed at a Shareholders Meeting and will be re-opened the day after the Shareholders Meeting is held, or the day said Meeting was scheduled to take place.

TWELVE. - Increases in company capital can be made by means of contributions in cash or in kind, or by means of the capitalization of reserves or any other surplus.

Shareholders can renounce their right of preference provided for in this clause, provided that they state this at the same Meeting in which the decision to increase the company's capital is made.

If some shares still have not been subscribed upon the completion of the time period in which shareholders were entitled to exercise their right of preference, the Single Administrator or the Board of Directors will offer said shares to third parties or will keep them in the Company's


8

treasury, according to the case, in conformance with the agreement made at the Shareholders Meeting in which the increase in capital was approved.

New shares cannot be issued until previously-issued shares have been completely subscribed and paid for.

The Company will keep a registry of capital variations.

ADMINISTRATION

FIFTEEN. - During the Shareholders Meeting or a session of the Board of Directors, one person from among the members will be appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Board can also appoint a Secretary who does not necessarily have to be a Member.

Resolutions that are approved unanimously by all Members out of session will have, for all legal purposes, the same validity as if they had been adopted during a Meeting provided that said resolutions are confirmed in writing after they are made.

The Company's Secretary will transcribe any decisions made outside of Board of Directors meetings with the unanimous vote of the members of said Board into the minutes for said Board of Directors even when the Secretary does not participate in the approval of the same. For this purpose, the resolutions must be written in the Spanish language. If the decisions are written in English, the Company's Secretary is authorized, even if the Secretary is not a professional translator, to translate said resolutions in such a manner that the contents of the same are maintained. In the event of a controversy or a difference in interpretation, the English version of said resolutions will prevail over the Spanish translation made by the Secretary who

TWENTY-TWO. - Shareholders Meetings, whether ordinary or special, will be held after a summons is issued by the Single Administrator or the Board of Directors, or by any of the Members if the Single Administrator or the Board of Directors are unable to do so in conformance with the stipulations contained in article one hundred seventy-six, section six of the General Law of Commercial Companies. The Meetings will also be held at the request of shareholders in accordance with the terms of articles one hundred eighty-four and one hundred eighty-five of the General Law of Commercial Companies.

If an Ordinary Meeting is not held on the date scheduled due to the lack of a quorum, a second summons will be issued indicating said circumstance and, in this case, Ordinary Shareholders Meetings will be considered legally established regardless of the number of shareholders present or represented at the meetings and the agreements adopted will be valid if they are approved by the favorable vote of those members who are present or represented.

In their absence, said meetings will be presided over by the person designated for this purpose by the majority of the persons attending the corresponding meeting. The Secretary of the Board of Directors will act as the Secretary of the Shareholders Meetings and, in his absence, the person designated for this purpose by the shareholders at the corresponding meeting. The Chairman will appoint one or two of the members as assistants who may or may not be members of the Board of Directors or shareholders, so that they can determine if the legal quorum has been established and count the votes taken, if necessary or requested, by the Chairman of the meeting.

TWENTY-SIX. - Once the meeting has been legally established, if any of the items on the agenda have not been resolved, said meeting may be postponed and will be continued the next business day, without the need for a new summons.

Each Suspension Instruction or Continuation Instruction must be prepared according to the formats which are attached to this Agreement and which I inserted in the Appendix of this instrument under the letters "I" and "J", respectively.

Once the Trustee receives the Continuation Instruction in question, the Trustee shall immediately continue the distribution procedure in accordance with the provisions of this Clause.

Two).- With respect to the Accounts Receivable that are part of the Trust Estate, the Trustee shall only be required to grant one or several powers of attorney for litigation and collection actions to the person or persons designated in writing by the Trust Beneficiary (the "Collection Agents"), without on that basis assuming any liability whatsoever for the actions of the Collection Agents, which provision shall be transcribed in the document recording the power or powers of attorney granted, and provided that the Collection Agents agree that the costs and fees generated by their work are to be paid to them directly by the Trustors, without the Trustee or the Trust Beneficiary being liable for those items. All the amounts that are received from the collection of the Accounts Receivable, shall be deposited in the Trust Account and the Trustee shall apply them immediately and without the need for prior notice, notification or a court order or non-judicial decision in this regard, to payment of the items in accordance with the terms and order provided by Number Five of this Clause.

Page - 22

Jose Visoso del Valle Federal District Notary No. 92

A).- The Trust Estate must obtain from an authorized credit institution of recognized prestige that is either a subsidiary of foreign banking or financial institutions, or a subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, UBS Warburg, Lehman Brothers, or any other financial institution of similar prestige, including their respective successors and assigns (other than the Trustee or the Trust Beneficiary or any company that is a successor or assign of the Trustee or the Trust Beneficiary) that the Trust Beneficiary should indicate in writing, a valuation of the JCSA Shares, which shall serve as the basis for the sale of same (the "Base Price of the Shares").

B).- The Trustee shall send a notice to the Possible Buyers (the "Share Auction Notice") for the sale of the JCSA Shares at a private auction, within 5 (five) Business Days following the date on which the Trustee receives the Possible Buyers Notice from the Trust Beneficiary, using for such purposes the format which is appended to this Agreement as Appendix "I". The Share Auction Notice must contain the location and time, which shall be determined by the written instructions that the Trustee shall receive from the Trust Beneficiary, at which the auction is to be held, the Base Price of the Shares, and establish that said sale is the result of the procedure to execute the Trust Estate under the terms of this Agreement. The Share Auction Notice must be delivered to each of the Possible Buyers at least 15 (fifteen) Business Days in advance of the date the private auction is to be held. The parties hereby agree that the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person or persons that the latter shall designate) shall at all times have the preemptive right to buy the JCSA Shares (or any portion of same). The Share Auction Notice must make mention of the Trust Beneficiary's preemptive right in the terms provided herein, except in the event that the Trust Beneficiary expressly waives same (with a copy to the Trustors), in a document submitted to the Trustee. For the purposes of this Number Three (3), the term "preemptive right" shall mean that at any point in time prior to or during the private auction, the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person or persons that the latter shall designate) shall have the right to buy from the Trustee the JCSA Shares (or any portion of same), by paying the Trustee a price (i) that is equal to the Base Price of the Shares (or, in the event that the Trust Beneficiary exercises its preemptive right to buy a portion of the JCSA Shares, a percentage of the Base Price of the Shares that represents the portion of the JCSA Shares to be purchased by the Trust Beneficiary), in the event that said right is exercised prior to the auction in question; or (ii) equal to or greater than the highest price offered by any Possible Buyer, in the event that said right is exercised during the auction in question, minus (x) any amounts of principal and interest, fees, commissions, income tax , withholding, sales taxes or any other taxes and other amounts owed and not paid to the Trust Beneficiary and/or the Lenders in relation to the Guaranteed Obligations; (x) all the out of pocket expenses incurred by the Trust Beneficiary in relation to this Agreement and the sale and distribution of the Trust Estate; and (z) all the amounts owed the Trust Beneficiary under this Agreement (the resulting amount shall be referred to as the "Outstanding Balance"). The preemptive right granted to the Trust Beneficiary under this paragraph may be exercised by the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person or persons that the latter shall designate) at any time prior to or during the private auction in question, by issuing a written notice (the "Share Exercise Notice") to the Trustee (with copy to the Trustors).

Page - 23

Jose Visoso del Valle Federal District Notary No. 92

In the event that the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person or persons that the latter shall designate) exercises its preemptive right by issuing a Share Exercise Notice, and the Outstanding Balance exceeds the Base Price of the Shares (or the percentage of the Base Price of the Shares representing the portion of the JCSA Shares to be purchased by the Trust Beneficiary), in the event that said right is exercised prior to the auction in question, or the highest price offered by any Possible Buyer, in the event that said right is exercised once the auction has commenced, the JCSA Shares in question shall be transferred to the Trust Beneficiary (or to the person or persons that the latter designates) without any further consideration by virtue of the offset, in the corresponding proportion, against the Outstanding Balance, with the understanding that any remaining amount of the Outstanding Balance shall remain due and payable in accordance with Number Five hereinafter. Subject to the provisions of Number 4 hereinafter, any amount paid by the Trust Beneficiary (or the person or persons that the latter designates) to the Trustee in relation to the exercise of its preemptive right, should such be the case, must be delivered by the Trustee to JCSA at the time that the transfer of the JCSA Shares in question to the Trust Beneficiary (or to the person or persons designated by the latter) is executed and completed in accordance with applicable legislation.

C).- Likewise, the Share Auction Notice shall provide that the Possible Buyers must deposit with the Trustee, at the minimum, an amount representing 10% (ten percent) of the Base Price of the Shares, in certificates of deposit issued by authorized credit institutions, at least 2 (two) Business Days prior to the date on which the private auction is to be held (the "Share Deposit"). No bid shall be accepted or considered valid unless the Share Deposit is made in accordance with the terms and within the time frame provided hereinabove. The Trustee shall complete the auction sale by transferring the JCSA Shares to the Possible Buyer (from among the Possible buyers) that has offered the highest bid, which must in any case be equal to or greater than the Base Price of the Shares (the "Highest Bidder for the Shares"), subject to the Trust Beneficiary's preemptive right.

D). The Highest Bidder for the Shares must pay, in immediately available funds, the balance of the highest bid at the time that the transfer of the JCSA Shares is formalized, in accordance with the terms of applicable legislation. In the event that the transfer of the JCSA Shares is not carried out due to any cause that is attributable to the Highest Bidder for the Shares, the Highest Bidder for the Shares shall lose the Share Deposit delivered to the Trustee in favor of the Trust Estate. The full text of this Subsection (d) must be transcribed in the Share Auction Notice.

E).- In the event that the Trustee does not carry out the sale of the JCSA Shares at the first private auction, the Trustee shall deliver by hand to each of the Possible Buyers, as well as to those other persons the Trust Beneficiary so instructs the Trustee in writing (with copy to the Trustors), a second Share Auction Notice for a second auction under the same terms as the first, but in which the Base Price for the Shares shall be reduced by 10% (ten percent). Should a sale not be executed by the Trustee at the second auction, the Base Price for the Shares shall be subsequently reduced at each private auction by 10% (ten percent) until the JCSA Shares are sold, with the understanding, however, that the sale price shall never be reduced by more than 50% (fifty percent) of the Base Price for the Shares. The second or the subsequent Share Auction Notices must be made in accordance with the provisions of Subsections (B), (C), and (D) of this Number Three.

Four).- With respect to all those other fixed or moveable assets that are part of the Trust Estate and which, due to their nature, are not part of or are not included in the property and/or assets described in Numbers One, Two, and Three hereinabove in this Clause (the "Remaining Assets"), the Trustee must follow the following procedure:

A).- The Trustee must obtain from an authorized credit institution of recognized prestige that is either a subsidiary of foreign banking or financial institution, or a subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, UBS Warburg, Lehman Brothers, or any other financial institution of similar prestige, including their respective successors and assigns (other than the Trustee or the Trust Beneficiary or any company that is a successor or assign of the Trustee or the Trust Beneficiary) that the Trust Beneficiary should indicate in writing, a valuation of the Remaining Assets, which shall serve as the basis for the sale of same (the "Base Price of the Remaining Assets").

B).- The Trustee must publish an auction notice (the "Remaining Assets Auction Notice") for the sale at private auction by the Remaining Assets, in at least one large circulation newspaper in Mexico City, utilizing for such purposes the format which is attached to this Agreement and which I inserted in the appendix of this instrument under the letter "K". The Remaining Assets Auction Notice must contain the location and time at which the auction is to be held, the Base Price of the Remaining Assets, and provide that said sale is the result of the procedure for execution of the Trust Estate under the terms of this Agreement. The Remaining Assets Auction Notice must be published at least 15 (fifteen) Business Days prior to the date of the private auction is held. The parties hereby agree that the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person or persons designated by the latter) shall at all times have a preemptive right to purchase the Remaining Assets (or any portion of same). The Remaining Assets Auction Notice must make mention of the Trust Beneficiary's preemptive right under the terms provided herein, except in the event that the Trust Beneficiary expressly waives same in a document submitted to the Trustee (with copy to the Trustors). For the purposes of this Number Four (B), the term "preemptive right" shall mean that at any point in time prior to or during the private auction, the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person or persons that the latter shall designate) shall have the right to buy from the Trustee the Remaining Assets (or any portion of same), by paying the Trustee a price (i) that is equal to the Base Price of the Remaining Assets (or, in the event that the Trust Beneficiary exercises its preemptive right to buy a portion of the Remaining Assets, a percentage of the Base Price of the Remaining Assets which represents the portion of the Remaining Assets to be purchased by the Trust Beneficiary), in the event that said right is exercised prior to the auction in question; or (ii) equal to or greater than the highest price offered by any participating bidder, in the event that said right is exercised during the auction in question, minus (x) any amounts of principal and interest, fees, commissions, income tax ,withholding, sales taxes or any other taxes and other amounts owed and not paid to the Trust Beneficiary and/or the Lenders in relation to the Guaranteed Obligations; (y) all the out of pocket expenses incurred by the Trust Beneficiary in relation to this Agreement and the sale and distribution of the Trust Estate; and (z) all the amounts owed the Trust Beneficiary under this Agreement (the resulting amount shall be referred to as the "Outstanding Balance").

may be exercised by the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person or persons that the latter shall designate) at any time prior to or during the private auction in question, by issuing a written notice (the "Remaining Assets Exercise Notice") to the Trustee (with copy to the Trustors).

In the event that the Trust Beneficiary (either directly or through the person or persons that the latter shall designate) exercises its preemptive right by issuing a Remaining Assets Exercise Notice, and the Outstanding Balance exceeds the Base Price of the Remaining Assets (or the percentage of the Base Price of the Remaining Assets representing the portion of the Remaining Assets to be purchased by the Trust Beneficiary), in the event that said right is exercised prior to the auction in question, or the highest price offered by any Possible Buyer, in the event that said right is exercised once the auction has commenced, the Remaining Assets in question shall be transferred to the Trust Beneficiary (or to the person or persons that the latter designates) without any further consideration by virtue of the offset, in the corresponding proportion, against the Outstanding Balance, with the understanding that any remaining amount of the Outstanding Balance shall remain due and payable in accordance with Number 5 hereinafter. Any amount paid by the Trust Beneficiary (or the person or persons that the latter designates) to the Trustee in relation to the exercise of its preemptive right, should such be the case, must be delivered by the Trustee to the pertinent Trustors at the time that the transfer of the Remaining Assets in question to the Trust Beneficiary (or to the person or persons designated by the latter) is executed and completed in accordance with applicable legislation.

C).- Likewise, the Remaining Assets Auction Notice shall provide that any interested person must deposit with the Trustee, at the minimum, an amount representing 10% (ten percent) of the Base Price of the Remaining Assets, in certificates of deposit issued by authorized credit institutions, at least 2
(two) Business Days prior to the date on which the private auction is to be held (the "Remaining Assets Deposit"). No bid shall be accepted or considered valid unless the Remaining Assets Deposit is made in accordance with the terms and within the time frame provided hereinabove. The Trustee shall complete the auction sale by transferring the Remaining Assets to the bidder (from among the other bidders) that has offered the highest bid, which must in any case be equal to or greater than the Base Price of the Remaining Assets (the "Highest Bidder for the Remaining Assets "), subject to the Trust Beneficiary's preemptive right.

D). The Highest Bidder for the Remaining Assets must pay, in immediately available funds, the balance of the highest bid at the time that the transfer of the Remaining Assets is formalized in accordance with the terms of applicable legislation. In the event that the transfer of the Remaining Assets is not carried out due to any cause that is attributable to the Highest Bidder for the Remaining Assets, the Highest Bidder for the Remaining Assets shall lose the Remaining Assets Deposit delivered to the Trustee in favor of the Trust Estate. The full text of this Subsection (d) must be transcribed in the Remaining Assets Auction Notice.

E).- In the event that the Trustee does not carry out the sale of the Remaining Assets at the first private auction, it shall call a second auction under the same terms as the first, but in which the Base Price for the Remaining Assets shall be reduced by 10% (ten percent). Should a sale not be executed by the Trustee at the second auction, the Base Price for the Remaining Assets shall be subsequently reduced at each private auction by 10% (ten percent) until the Remaining Assets are sold, with the understanding, however, that the sale price shall never be reduced by more than 50%

Page - 26

(fifty percent) of the Base Price of the Remaining Assets. The second or the subsequent Remaining Assets Auction Notices must be made in accordance with the provisions of Subsections (B), (C), and (D) of this Number Four.

Five.- The proceeds from the sale of the JCSA Shares, the Remaining Assets, or any other portion of the Trust Estate, including the cash in the Trust Account, shall be distributed by the Trustee in the following order, unless the Trust Beneficiary instructs it otherwise, without the need for a court order or a decision of any other type to that effect: (A) ONE, for payment of all the fees, costs, and expenses incurred by the Trustee in relation to this Agreement; (B) TWO, for payment in full of the Guaranteed obligations, in accordance with the instructions that the Trustee receives from the Trust Beneficiary, with the understanding that all the fees, commissions, expenses, late payment interest charges, ordinary interest and the principal amount (in that order) owed to the Trust Beneficiary and/or to the Lenders under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement, or any other agreement, contract, document, or instrument related to same shall be paid in full; and (C) THREE, the residue of the Trust Estate, if any, shall be delivered to the appropriate Trustors in their capacity as secondary trust beneficiaries.

Six. In accordance with Article Four Hundred Twelve of the Statute, if the proceeds from the sale or transfer of the Trust Estate should be insufficient to cover payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other amount owed to the Trust Beneficiary, the Lenders, or the Trustee under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement, or any other agreement, contract, document, or instrument related to same, the Trustors, under Mexican legislation, shall be released from their obligation to pay said outstanding balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the parties hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that it is and has been at all times the intent and the desire of the parties that each and every one of the Trustors with be liable for performing the Guaranteed Obligations with their entire assets, for which reason they hereby expressly and irrevocably agree that if at any point in time subsequent to the date of the signing of this Agreement, as a result of an amendment to the Statute or for any other reason, Article Four Hundred Twelve of the Statute is repealed, ceases to be valid or enforceable (a "Change in the Statute"), the first provision of this Number Six shall automatically cease to be valid and shall be considered not to have been provided, for all appropriate purposes and effects. Each of the Trustors hereby expressly (a) waives the right to the effect that, prior to the effective date of a Change in the Statute, its obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, and Guarantee Agreement, or any other agreement, contract, document, or instrument related to same, are obligations with recovery limited to the Trust Estate; and (b) waives any right that it might have to the effect that, even prior to a Change in the Statute, its obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement, or any other agreement, contract, document, or instrument related to same, are obligations with recovery limited to the Trust Estate under any legislation other than Mexican legislation.

Eight.- Due to the fact that the Guaranteed Obligations are monetary obligations denominated in Dollars and payable outside Mexico, in order to make payment of said Guaranteed Obligations, the amounts in Pesos that the Trustee receives under this Agreement (A) shall be converted into Dollars by the Trustee through a currency exchange transaction with the Mexican financial institution designated by the Trust Beneficiary, and the currency that is obtained from said conversion shall be distributed by the Trustee in accordance with Number Five hereinabove; or (B) in the event that Pesos cannot be exchanged for Dollars as a result of the establishment of currency exchange controls or any other measure adopted by the cognizant authorities, by law or by regulation, the Trustee shall deliver the Pesos to the Trust Beneficiary or to the person designated by the Trust Beneficiary for such purposes and effects.

The New Notes are to be issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of May 20,


2003, among the Parent, the Issuers and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 20, 2003 (as so supplemented, the "Indenture"), among the Parent, the Issuers, the Trustee, Jafra Cosmetics International, S.A. de C.V., Distribuidora Venus, S.A. de C.V., Dirsamex, S.A. de C.V., Serviday, S.A. de C.V., Cosmeticos y Fragancias, S.A. de C.V., Jafra Cosmetics, S.A de C.V. an JafraFin, S.A. de C.V.

The obligations of the U.S. Issuer pursuant to the New Notes are to be guaranteed by the Parent and Jafra Distribution (Mexico) (and the obligations of Jafra Distribution (Mexico) pursuant to the New Notes are to be guaranteed by the Parent, the U.S. Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, pursuant to and as set forth in the Indenture (such guarantees, collectively, the "Guarantees").

In so acting, we have examined and relied upon the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records, documents, certificates and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. In all such examinations, we have assumed without investigation the legal capacity of all natural persons executing documents, the genuineness of all signatures on original or certified copies, the authenticity of all original or certified copies and the conformity to original or certified documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed or reproduction copies. We have relied as to factual matters upon, and have assumed the accuracy of, representations, statements and certificates of or from public officials and of or from officers and representatives of the Issuers, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and others. With your permission, for purposes of the opinion expressed herein, we have assumed that (i) the Trustee is and has been duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) the Trustee had and has the power and authority to enter into and perform, and has duly authorized, executed and delivered, the Indenture,
(iii) the Indenture is valid, binding and enforceable with respect to the Trustee, (iv) the New Notes will be duly authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided in the Indenture, (v) insofar as any obligation under the Indenture or the New Notes is to be performed in, or by a party organized under the laws of, any jurisdiction outside the United States of America, its performance will not be illegal or ineffective in any such jurisdiction by virtue of the law of that jurisdiction, and (vi) the opinions expressed in the opinion letters of Ritch, Heather Y Mueller, S.C., special Mexican counsel to Jafra S.A. and the Subsidiary Guarantors and of Bonn Schmitt Steichen, special Luxembourg counsel to the Parent, of even date herewith, addressed to each of you and filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, are correct.

2

Upon the execution and issuance of the New Notes by the Issuers and authentication of the New Notes by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture and delivery of the New Notes against exchange therefor of the Existing Notes pursuant to the exchange offer described in the Registration Statement, (i) the New Notes will be valid and binding obligations of the Issuers, enforceable against the Issuers in accordance with their terms, and (ii) the Guarantee of each Note Guarantor will constitute the valid and binding obligation of such Note Guarantor, enforceable against such Note Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

The foregoing opinion is limited by and subject to the effects of (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, reorganization or moratorium laws or other similar laws relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors' rights or remedies generally and (ii) general principles of equity (whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or equity), including the discretion of the court before which any proceeding may be brought, concepts of good faith, reasonableness and fair dealing, and standards of materiality.

We express no opinion as to the effect of any Federal or state laws regarding fraudulent transfers or conveyances. We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Federal laws of the United States, the laws of the State of New York and General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as currently in effect. In particular (and without limited the generality of the foregoing) we express no opinion concerning (i) the laws of any country (other than such laws of the United States of America) or as to the effect of such laws (whether limiting, prohibitive or otherwise) on any of the rights or obligations of any of the Issuers, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the holders of the New Notes, or any other party to or beneficiary of any of the Indenture and the New Notes, or (ii) the effect, if any, of any law of any jurisdiction (except the State of New York) in which any holder of any New Note is located that limits the rate of interest that such holder may charge or collect. We express no opinion whether a United States Federal court would accept jurisdiction in any dispute, action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the New Notes or the Indenture or the transactions contemplated thereby.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the heading "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus. In giving such consent, we do not hereby concede that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

We have also assumed that (i) the Trustee and any other parties other than Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico and the Subsidiary Guarantors is and has been duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) the Trustee and any other parties other than Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico and the Subsidiary Guarantors has the power and authority to enter into and perform, and has duly authorized, executed and delivered, the Indenture, (iii) the Indenture is valid, binding and enforceable with respect to the Trustee and any other parties other than Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and (iv) the New Notes will be duly authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided in the Indenture.

We have made no independent investigation of the laws of the United States of America, as a basis for the opinion stated herein and have assumed that there is nothing in any such laws that affects our opinion.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Jafra Distribution has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a sociedad anonima de capital variable under the laws of Mexico.

2. Jafra Distribution had and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Indenture, including but not limited to its obligations under the Jafra Distribution Cross Guarantee.

3. Jafra Mexico and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation under the laws of Mexico.


3

4. Jafra Mexico and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors had and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Indenture, including but not limited to its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees.

5. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico and each Subsidiary Guarantor, and the New Notes have been duly authorized, executed, authenticated, issued and delivered by Jafra Distribution.

6. The Jafra Distribution Cross Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed, authenticated, issued and delivered, as appropriate, by Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico and each Subsidiary Guarantor, respectively.

7. The choice of law provisions set forth in the New Notes will be recognized by the courts of Mexico; Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico and each Subsidiary Guarantor can sue and be sued in their own name under the laws of Mexico; under the laws of Mexico, the submission of Jafra Distribution and the Subsidiary Guarantors to the jurisdiction of federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York (each a "New York Court" and collectively the "New York Courts") is legal, valid and binding; any judgment obtained in a New York Court arising out of or in relation to the obligations of Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico and any of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the New Notes, the Indenture, the Jafra Distribution Cross Guarantee, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the transactions contemplated thereby will be recognized in Mexico; provided, however, that any judgment obtained against Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico or any Subsidiary Guarantor in any of the New York Courts in respect of any sum payable by it under the New Notes, the Indenture, the Jafra Distribution Cross Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantees would be recognized and enforced by the courts of Mexico without re-examination of the issues pursuant to Articles 569 and 571 of the Federal Code of Civil Procedure and Article 1347A of the Commerce Code, which provide, inter alia, that any judgment rendered outside Mexico may be enforced by Mexican courts, provided that:

(i) such judgment is obtained in compliance with legal requirements of the jurisdiction of the court rendering such judgment and in compliance with all legal requirements of the New Notes, the Indenture, the Jafra Distribution Cross Guarantee or the Subsidiary Guarantees, as the case may be;

(ii) such judgment is strictly for the payment of a certain sum of money and has been rendered in an in personam action as opposed to an in rem action;

(iii) service of process is made personally on Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico or on the Subsidiary Guarantors or on a duly appointed process agent;

(iv) such judgment does not contravene Mexican law, public policy of Mexico, international treaties or agreements binding upon Mexico or generally accepted principles of international law;

(v) the applicable procedural requirements under the laws of Mexico with respect to the enforcement of foreign judgments (including the issuance of


4

letters rogatory by the competent authority of such jurisdiction requesting enforcement of such judgment and the certification of such judgment as authentic by the corresponding authorities of such jurisdiction in accordance with the laws thereof) are complied with;

(vi) the action in respect of which such judgment is rendered is not the subject matter of a lawsuit among the same parties, pending before a Mexican court; and

(vii) the courts of such jurisdiction recognize the principles of reciprocity in connection with the enforcement of Mexican judgments in such jurisdiction.

8. To ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility into evidence of the Indenture, the New Notes, the Jafra Distribution Cross Guarantee or the Subsidiary Guarantees, it is not necessary that any of them or any other document be filed, registered or recorded with, or executed or notarized before, any court or other authority in Mexico, or that any registration charge or stamp tax paid on or in respect of the Indenture, the New Notes, the Jafra Distribution Cross Guarantee or the Subsidiary Guarantees, or any other documents.

9. The Indenture, the New Notes, the Jafra Distribution Cross Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantees are in proper legal form under the laws of Mexico for the enforcement thereof against Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico and the Subsidiary Guarantors under the laws of Mexico.

The foregoing opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

(a) enforcement of the Indenture, the New Notes, the Jafra Distribution Cross Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantees may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, concurso mercantil, liquidation, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally;

(b) in any proceedings brought to the courts of Mexico for the enforcement of the Indenture, the New Notes, the Jafra Distribution Cross Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantees, or any judgment related thereto obtained in a foreign jurisdiction against Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico or the Subsidiary Guarantors, a Mexican court would apply Mexican procedural law in such proceedings;

(c) in the event that proceedings are brought in Mexico seeking performance of Jafra Distribution's, Jafra Mexico's or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations in Mexico, Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico and the Subsidiary Guarantors may discharge their respective obligations by paying any sums due in a currency other than Mexican currency, in Mexican currency at the rate of exchange prevailing in Mexico on the date when payment is made and, therefore, any currency indemnity provisions of the Indenture may not be enforceable under the laws of Mexico;


5

(d) provisions of the Indenture granting discretionary authority to the Trustee cannot be exercised in a manner inconsistent with relevant facts nor defeat any requirements from a competent authority to produce satisfactory evidence as to the basis of any determination; in addition, under Mexican law, Jafra Distribution, Jafra Mexico and the Subsidiary Guarantors will have the right to contest in court any notice or certificate of the Trustee purporting to be conclusive and binding;

(e) in the event that any legal proceedings are brought to the courts of Mexico, a Spanish translation of the documents required in such proceedings prepared by a court-approved translator would have to be approved by the court after the defendant had been given an opportunity to be heard with respect to the accuracy of the translation, and proceedings would thereafter be based upon the translated documents;

(f) under the laws of Mexico labor claims, claims of tax authorities for unpaid taxes, Social Security quotas and Workers' Housing Fund quotas, will have priority over claims of holders of the New Notes; and

(g) with respect to provisions contained in the Indenture in connection with service of process, it should be noted that service of process by mail does not constitute personal service of process under Mexican law and, since such service is considered to be a basic procedural requirement, if for purposes of proceedings outside Mexico service of process is made by mail, a final judgment based on such process would not be enforced by the courts of Mexico.

We express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of Mexico.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the heading "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus. In giving such consent, we do not hereby concede that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

JAFRA WORLDWIDE HOLDINGS (LUX) S.AR.L. AND THE
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS REFERRED HEREIN
(REGISTRATION NO. 333-106666)

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have acted as special Luxembourg counsel to Jafra Worldwide Holdings
(Lux) S.ar.l., a Luxembourg societe a responsabilite limitee (the "Parent") in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as amended to the date hereof, the "Registration Statement"), which includes a Prospectus (the "Prospectus") relating to the proposed offering by Jafra Cosmetics International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "U.S. Issuer") and DISTRIBUIDORA COMERICAL JAFRA, S.A. DE C.V., a sociedad


anonima de capital variable organized under the laws of the United Mexican States (the "Mexican Issuer." and together with the U.S. Issuer, the "Issuers"), of U.S.$200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers' 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011 (the "New Notes"), which are to be registered under the Act pursuant to the Registration Statement, in exchange for an equal principal amount of the Issuers' outstanding 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011 (the "Existing Notes"). The New Notes are to be issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of May 20, 2003, among the Parent, the Issuers and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 20, 2003 (as so supplemented, the "Indenture"), among Jafra Cosmetics International S.A. de C.V., Distribuidora Venus, S.A. de C.V., Dirsamex, S.A. de C.V., Serviday, S.A. de C.V., Cosmeticos y Fragancias, S.A. de C.V., JafraFin S.A. de C.V. , Jafra Cosmetics, S.A. de C.V. each of which is a subsidiary of the Mexican Issuer. and a company organized under the laws of the United Mexican States (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors"), the Parent, the Issuers and the Trustee. The obligations of the U.S. Issuer pursuant to the New Notes are to be guaranteed by the Parent andthe Mexican Issuer and the obligations of the Mexican Issuer pursuant to the New Notes are to be guaranteed by the Parent, the U.S. Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, pursuant to and as set forth in the Indenture (such guarantees by the Parent, the "Parent Guarantee", such guarantees by the Issuers, the "Cross Guarantees", and such guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors, the "Subsidiary Guarantees").

We have examined the following:

1. the Indenture;

2. the Parent Guarantee as set forth in the Indenture;

3. resolutions adopted at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Parent held on May 1, 2003;

4. the articles of incorporation of the Parent; and

5. such other documents as we have deemed necessary.

The Indenture, the Parent Guarantee and the New Notes are together referred to as the "Issue Documents".

For the purposes of this opinion, we have also assumed:

2

a) that each of the parties to the Issue Documents (other than Parent) is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of its place of incorporation and has full corporate power and capacity to enter into and perform its obligations under the Issue Documents including but not limited to the parties' obligations under the Cross Guarantees and the Subsidiary Guarantees;

b) that each of the Issue Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the parties hereto (other than Parent) in accordance with all applicable laws (other than the laws of Luxembourg);

c) that each of the Issue Documents, the Cross Guarantees and the Subsidiary Guarantees constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the parties thereto enforceable under all applicable laws (other than the laws of Luxembourg) and that, insofar as any of such obligations is to be performed in any jurisdiction other than Luxembourg, its performance will not be illegal or ineffective by virtue of the laws (or doctrines of public policy) of that jurisdiction;

d) that the New Notes will be duly authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided in the Indenture;

e) the genuineness of all signatures on and the authenticity and completeness, of all documents submitted to us, whether as originals or in electronic format;

f) that all authorizations consents, approvals, notices, filings, recordings, publications and registrations and other steps which are necessary under any applicable laws or regulations (other than the laws of Luxembourg) in order to permit the execution, delivery and performance of the Issue Documents and the issue of the New Notes have been made or obtained within the period permitted by such laws or regulations and, if required to be maintained, are and will be maintained and none of the transactions contemplated by the Issue Documents will infringe the terms of or constitute a default under any agreement, instrument or obligation to which any of the parties to the Issue Documents is a party or by which any of its property, undertaking, assets or revenues is bound;

g) the conformity to originals of all documents supplied to us as photocopies or facsimile copies or in electronic format;

h) that, where a document has been examined by us in draft or specimen form, it will be or has been executed in the form of that draft or specimen;

3

i) that the representations and warranties given, or to be given, by the respective parties in the Issue Documents or the New Notes (other than to the extent to which we are expressing an opinion in this Opinion with regard to the Parent) and when repeated in accordance therewith, as the case may be, are, and will be, when given or repeated, in each case true, accurate and complete in all respects;

j) that each of the Issue Documents have been entered into and the Parent Guarantee will be granted for bona fide commercial reasons and on arm's length terms;

k) that none of the Issue Documents has, since the date of its execution, been in any way altered, whether by written or oral agreement or by the course of conduct of the parties thereto or otherwise;

l) that the Issue Documents have been, and will be, observed and performed in accordance with their respective terms by the parties thereto;

m) that, as of the day hereof, none of the parties to the Issue Documents meets the criteria, or threatens to meet the criteria for becoming subject to bankruptcy (faillite), insolvency, moratorium, controlled management (gestion controlee), suspension of payments (sursis de paiement), court ordered liquidation or reorganization or any similar procedure affecting the rights of creditors generally (INSOLVENCY PROCCEDINGS) on the date hereof and that none of the parties to the Issue Documents will become subject to Insolvency Proceedings as a consequence of entering into the Issue Documents to which it is a party or the New Notes in any relevant jurisdiction; and

n) The lack of bad faith and absence of fraud, coercion, duress or undue influence on the part of any of the parties to the Issue Documents or the New Notes, their respective directors, employees and agents.

On the basis of the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are, as of the date hereof, of the opinion that:

(i) Parent has been duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of Luxembourg;

(ii) Parent had and has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Issue Documents;

(iii) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Parent;

4

(iv) The choice of law provisions set forth in the Issue Documents will be recognized by the courts of Luxembourg; Parent may be sued and, may sue, in its own name under the laws of Luxembourg; under the laws of Luxembourg the submission of Parent to the jurisdiction of any United States federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York (each a "New York Court" and collectively the "New York Courts") is legal, valid and binding; any judgment obtained in a New York Court arising out of or in relation to the obligations of Parent under the Issue Documents will be recognized in Luxembourg, subject to and in accordance with applicable rule on enforcement of foreign judgment; and

(v) No Luxembourg governmental authorization is required to effect payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest (including any Additional Amounts due and payable thereon) on the New Notes or any payment in respect of the Parent Guarantee.

The opinions expressed herein are subject to the following qualifications:

(a) the obligations of Parent under the Issue Documents and the enforceability of the Issue Documents will be subject to and may be limited by general principles of bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency or reorganization or other laws of similar effect relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally (hereinafter the "Insolvency Laws") and in particular in relation to the Parent;

(i) during a gestion controlee (controlled management) procedure under the Grand-Ducal Decree dated 24 May 1935 on the procedure of gestion controlee, the rights of secured creditors are frozen until a final decision has been taken by the court as to the petition for controlled management;

(ii) the obligations of Parent under the Issue Documents or the New Notes may be affected and, after their performance, subject to annulment by a court on the basis of Article 445 of the Luxembourg Code of Commerce, if the Issue Documents or the New Notes have been entered into during the suspect period ("periode suspecte") (which is the period starting on the date determined by the bankruptcy court as being the date of cessation of payment, which cannot be earlier than 6 months before the date of the bankruptcy judgment, and ending on the date of the bankruptcy judgment) or ten days before. The

5

Issue Documents or the New Notes may come under Article 445 if they constitute or contain, or the performance of such obligations thereunder would constitute (i) a contract for the transfer of movable or immovable property done without consideration, or a contract or transaction done with notably insufficient consideration for the insolvent party, or (ii) a payment, whether in cash or by transfer, assignment, sale, set-off or otherwise for debts not yet due, or a payment other than in cash or bills of exchange for debts due, or (iii) a contractual or judiciary mortgage, pledge, or charge on the debtor's assets for previously contracted debts;

(iii) the obligations of Parent under the Issue Documents or the New Notes may be affected and after their performance, subject to annulment by a bankruptcy court on the basis of Article 446 of the Luxembourg Code of Commerce, if the Issue Documents or the New Notes constitute or contain, or the performance of such obligations thereunder would constitute a payment for due debts or an onerous act done by Parent after the cessation of payments (such date as determined by the bankruptcy court) and prior to the judgment opening Insolvency Proceedings, if the counter-party that has received from or dealt with Parent had knowledge of the cessation of payments;

(iv) regardless of the date of execution and performance, the Issue Documents or the New Notes may be declared null and void in relation to Parent, if they have been entered into with the fraudulent intent of the parties thereto to deprive other creditors of the insolvent party of their rights (Article 448 of the Code of Commerce);

(v) the obligations of Parent may be affected or limited by the rights of the receiver, liquidator or other court official appointed in the Insolvency Proceedings to selectively perform contracts profitable to the insolvent party's estate and renounce to the performance of contracts which are not profitable to the insolvent party's estate ("cherry-picking"), where such contracts have not been terminated

6

automatically by the opening of the insolvency proceedings on the basis of an express contractual provision, or by operation of law; the counterparty to that agreement (i) may enter a claim for damages in the bankruptcy and such claim shall rank pari passu with claims of all other unsecured creditors and/or
(ii) seek a court order to have the relevant contract dissolved; it will, however, no longer be possible to seek injunctive relief or to require specific performance;

(vi) we express no opinion as to whether any provision of the Issue Documents or the New Notes conferring a right of set-off, of subrogation, a preferential payment right or a right of payment before due date or similar rights would be effective against a bankruptcy receiver or a liquidator;

(vii) based on our interpretation of general principles of Luxembourg civil and commercial law, the contractual subordination of claims set forth in the Issue Documents or the New Notes whereby a creditor agrees to subordinate the payment of its claims to the prior payment of claims owed to another creditor should be valid as between the contracting parties and would be upheld in case of Insolvency Proceedings. To the best of our knowledge, there are, however, no published Luxembourg court precedents or legal writing on this matter. This position is supported by Belgian legal scholars;

(b) the enforcement of the Indenture and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto will be subject to the general statutory principles of Luxembourg law and no opinion is given herein as to the availability of any specific performance remedy, other than monetary damages, for the enforcement of any obligation of Parent and this opinion should not be taken to imply that a Luxembourg Court will necessarily grant any remedy, in particular, orders for specific performance and injunctions will not be available;

(c) where any obligations are to be performed or observed or are based upon a matter arising in a jurisdiction outside Luxembourg they may not be enforceable under Luxembourg law if and to the extent such performance or

7

observance would be unlawful, unenforceable, or contrary to public policy under the laws of such jurisdiction;

(d) the Luxembourg courts would not apply a chosen foreign law if the choice were not made bona fide and/or if:

(i) the foreign law were not pleaded and proved; or

(ii) if pleaded and proved, such foreign law would be contrary to the mandatory rules of Luxembourg law or manifestly incompatible with Luxembourg international public policy;

(e) a Luxembourg Court may refuse to give effect to a purported contractual obligation to pay costs imposed upon another party in respect of the costs of any unsuccessful litigation brought against that party before a Luxembourg Court and a Luxembourg Court may not award by way of costs all of the expenditure incurred by a successful litigant in proceedings brought before the Court;

(f) whilst, in the event of any proceedings being brought in a Luxembourg Court in respect of a monetary obligation expressed to be payable in a currency other than Euro, a Luxembourg Court would have power to give judgment expressed as an order to pay a currency other than Euro, enforcement of the judgment against the Parent in Luxembourg would be available only in Euro and for such purposes all claims or debts are converted into Euro normally at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of payment;

(g) Enforcement before the courts of Luxembourg will be subject to:

(i) the nature of the remedies available in the Luxembourg courts (and nothing in this opinion must be taken as indicating that specific performance or injunctive relief would be available as remedies for the enforcement of such obligations);

(ii) the acceptance by such courts of internal jurisdiction;

(iii) prescription or limitation periods (within which suits, actions or proceedings may be brought); and

8

(iv) the availability of defences such as, without limitation, set-off (unless validly waived), fraud, misrepresentation, unforeseen circumstances, undue influence, duress, error, and counter-claim;

(h) any determination or certificates made or given pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture which provide for such determination or certificate to be final, conclusive or binding might not necessarily be held under Luxembourg law to be final, conclusive or binding;

(i) a contractual provision conferring or imposing a remedy, an obligation or penalty consequent upon default may not be fully enforceable if it were construed by a Luxembourg Court as constituting an excessive pecuniary remedy and a Luxembourg court has a discretion to decrease the amount of agreed damages, indemnities or penalties which it regards as manifestly excessive; in order to determine whether a contractual provision constitutes an excessive pecuniary remedy, the court would generally consider the amount of loss actually suffered by the party entitled to an indemnity or penalty, and compare it to the amount of penalties and damages payable pursuant to the clause, and would reduce such amount if it was manifestly excessive in view of the circumstances;

(j) as regards jurisdiction, a Luxembourg Court may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings based on the same grounds and between the same parties have been brought previously before another Court;

(k) any power of attorney and mandate, as well as any other agency provisions (including, but not limited to, powers of attorney and mandates expressed to be irrevocable) granted and all appointments of agents made by Parent, explicitly or by implication, will (a) normally terminate by law and without notice in case Luxembourg Insolvency Proceedings are initiated and
(b) may be capable of being revoked by Parent despite their being expressed to be irrevocable, which causes the withdrawal of all powers to act on behalf of Parent, although such a revocation may give rise to liability for damages of the revoking company for breach of contract. This principle is considered as a mandatory rule under Luxembourg law, and it can therefore not be excluded that a Luxembourg court would consider this principle to be part of international public policy, and that it would be applied regardless of the chosen governing law to any agency provisions or power or attorney granted by a Luxembourg company;

9

(l) a contractual provision allowing the service of process against the Parent to a service agent would not preclude the Luxembourg statutory provisions allowing the valid servicing of process against the Parent at its domicile;

(m) no opinion is given as to the taxation consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Issue Documents;

(n) the president of a competent district court (Tribunal d'Arrondissement) (or, to the extent applicable, any other jurisdiction) in Luxembourg, in any matter in which the plaintiff seeks provisional measures in summary proceedings (refere) or a permission to levy a prejudgement attachment (autorisation de saisie-arret conservatoire), may assume jurisdiction, on the basis of the general provisions of Luxembourg law, in connection with assets located in Luxembourg notwithstanding the submission to the jurisdiction of the courts of another jurisdiction, and such action would most likely be governed by Luxembourg law;

(o) the ability of any party to assume control over another party's proceedings before a Luxembourg court may be limited by Luxembourg rules of civil procedure;

(p) we express no opinion as to the validity or the enforceability of any clauses providing for the bringing of claims or proving of debts or taking any other formal procedural steps in a Luxembourg court by any party who is not personally entitled to such claim, action or formal step, including any claims to be brought by a trustee or receiver for the enforcement of any rights to which it is not personally entitled;

(q) contractual limitations of liability are unenforceable in case of gross or intentional negligence;

(r) provisions seeking to exclude any liability against third parties (which are not a party to the agreement in which such provisions are contained) may not be enforceable if Luxembourg tort law (responsabilite civile delictuelle) is applicable to the liability action;

(s) any provisions allowing the conversion of claims between currencies would not be enforceable in Insolvency Proceedings, where claims (in particular those to be proofed in the proceeding) have generally to be converted at the rate in force at the day of opening of the Insolvency Proceedings, any indemnities in relation to currency conversions or loss due to such conversions may not be enforceable

10

in case of exchanges made due to mandatory provisions of Luxembourg Insolvency Laws, and any indemnity obligations which purport to continue after the opening of Insolvency Proceedings may not be enforceable to that extent; and

(t) a Luxembourg court may refuse to give effect to a provision in any of the Issue Documents or New Notes which attempts to make one or more provisions in the Issue Documents or New Notes several from other provisions therein, in particular if to do so would affect the substance of such Issue Documents or New Notes.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name in the Prospectus. In giving such consent, we do not hereby concede that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

This opinion is strictly limited to the matters of Luxembourg law stated herein and is not to be read as extending by implication to any other matters. This opinion is governed by Luxembourg law and the Luxembourg Courts have exclusive jurisdiction in respect thereto.

Yours faithfully,

EXCHANGE AGENT AGREEMENT

August 13, 2003

U.S. Bank National Association
225 Asylum Street - 23rd Floor
Hartford, Connecticut 06103.
Attn: Philip Kane, Jr.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Jafra Cosmetics International, Inc. and Distribuidora Comercial Jafra, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, the "Issuers") propose to make an offer (the "Exchange Offer") to exchange the Issuers' 10% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011 (the "Existing Notes") for the Issuers' 10% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011 (the "New Notes"), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, as currently contemplated, are set forth in a prospectus (and any amendments thereto) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2003 as part of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as so amended, the "Prospectus"), proposed to be distributed to all record holders of the Existing Notes. The Existing Notes and the New Notes are collectively referred to herein as the "Notes". Any capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Prospectus.

The Issuers hereby appoint U.S. Bank National Association to act as exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") in connection with the Exchange Offer as of August 13, 2003. References hereinafter to "you" shall refer to U.S. Bank National Association.

The Exchange Offer is expected to be commenced by the Issuers on or about August 13, 2003. The Letter of Transmittal accompanying the Prospectus (or in the case of book entry securities, the ATOP system) is to be used by the Holders of the Existing Notes to accept the Exchange Offer and contains instructions with respect to the delivery of certificates for Existing Notes tendered in connection therewith.

The Exchange Offer is expected to expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on September 13, 2003, or on such later date or time to which the Issuers may extend the Exchange Offer (the "Expiration Date"). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus, the Issuers expressly reserve the right to extend the Exchange Offer from time to time and may extend the Exchange Offer by giving oral (confirmed in writing) or written notice to you before 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the business day following the previously scheduled Expiration Date.


The Issuers expressly reserve the right to delay acceptance of any Existing Notes, to amend, extend or terminate the Exchange Offer, and not to accept for exchange any Existing Notes not theretofore accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the Exchange Offer specified in the Prospectus under the caption "The Exchange Offer-Conditions." The Issuers will give oral (confirmed in writing) or written notice of any amendment, termination or nonacceptance to you as promptly as practicable.

In carrying out your duties as Exchange Agent, you are to act in accordance with the following instructions:

Section 1. You will perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the section of the Prospectus captioned "The Exchange Offer" or as specifically set forth herein; provided, however, that in no way will your general duty to act in good faith be discharged by the foregoing.

Section 2. You will establish an account with respect to the Existing Notes at The Depository Trust Company (the "Book-Entry Transfer Facility") for purposes of the Exchange Offer within two business days after the date of the Prospectus, and any financial institution that is a participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility's systems may make book-entry delivery of the Existing Notes by causing the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer such Existing Notes into your account in accordance with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility's procedure for such transfer.

Section 3. You are to examine each of the Letters of Transmittal and certificates for Existing Notes (or confirmation of book-entry transfer into your account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility) and any message transmitted by a Book-Entry Transfer Facility to, and received by, the Exchange Agent and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, which message states that the Book-Entry Transfer Facility has received an express acknowledgement from the participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility exchanging the Existing Notes which are the subject of the Book-Entry Confirmation that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that the Issuers may enforce the Letter of Transmittal against the participant and any other documents delivered or mailed to you by or for holders of the Existing Notes to ascertain whether: (i) the Letters of Transmittal and any such other documents are duly executed and properly completed in accordance with instructions set forth therein and (ii) the Existing Notes have otherwise been properly tendered. In each case where the Letter of Transmittal or any other document has been improperly completed or executed or any of the certificates for Existing Notes are not in proper form for transfer or some other irregularity in connection with the acceptance of the Exchange Offer exists, you will endeavor to inform the presenters of the need for fulfillment of all requirements and to take any other action as may be necessary or advisable to cause such irregularity to be corrected, unless we have advised you that we waive such irregularity.

2

Section 4. With the approval of the President, Chief Financial Officer or any Vice President of the Issuers (such approval, if given orally, to be confirmed in writing) or any other party designated by such an officer in writing, you are authorized to waive any irregularities in connection with any tender of Existing Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

Section 5. Tenders of Existing Notes may be made only as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal and in the section of the Prospectus captioned "The Exchange Offer-Procedures for Tendering," and Existing Notes shall be considered properly tendered to you only when tendered in accordance with the procedures set forth therein. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, Existing Notes which the President, Chief Financial Officer or any Vice President of the Issuers shall approve as having been properly tendered pursuant to Section 4 above shall be considered to be properly tendered (such approval, if given orally, shall be confirmed in writing).

Section 6. You shall advise the Issuers with respect to any Existing Notes received subsequent to the Expiration Date and accept their instructions with respect to disposition of such Existing Notes (such advice, if given orally, shall be confirmed in writing).

Section 7. Notwithstanding the procedures set forth in the Prospectus under the section entitled "Exchange Offer" or in the Letter of Transmittal, you shall accept tenders:

(a) in cases where the Existing Notes are registered in two or more names, only if signed by all named holders;

(b) in cases where the signing person (as indicated on the Letter of Transmittal) is acting in a fiduciary or a representative capacity, only when proper evidence of his or her authority so to act is submitted; and

(c) from persons other than the registered holder of Existing Notes provided that customary transfer requirements, including the payment by such persons of any applicable transfer taxes, are fulfilled.

You shall accept partial tenders of Existing Notes where so indicated and as permitted in the applicable Letter of Transmittal and deliver certificates for Existing Notes to the transfer agent for split-up and return any untendered Existing Notes to the holder (or to such other person as may be designated in the applicable Letter of Transmittal) as promptly as practicable after expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.

3

Section 8. Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Exchange Offer, the Issuers will notify you (such notice if given orally, to be confirmed in writing) of their acceptance, promptly after the Expiration Date, of all Existing Notes properly tendered and you, on behalf of the Issuers, will exchange such Existing Notes for New Notes and cause such Existing Notes to be cancelled. Delivery of New Notes will be made on behalf of the Issuers by you at the rate of $1,000 principal amount of New Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of the corresponding series of Existing Notes tendered promptly after notice (such notice if given orally, to be confirmed in writing) of acceptance of said Existing Notes by the Issuers; provided, however, that in all cases, Existing Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be exchanged only after timely receipt by you of certificates for such Existing Notes (or confirmation of book-entry transfer into your account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility), a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof) with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents. You shall issue New Notes only in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

Section 9. Tenders pursuant to the Exchange Offer are irrevocable, except that, subject to the terms and upon the conditions set forth in the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal, Existing Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

Section 10. The Issuers shall not be required to exchange any Existing Notes tendered if any of the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer are not met. Notice of any decision by the Issuers not to exchange any Existing Notes tendered shall be given (and confirmed in writing) by the Issuers to you.

Section 11. If, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the Issuers do not accept for exchange all or part of the Existing Notes tendered because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of certain other events set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "The Exchange Offer-Conditions" or otherwise, you shall as soon as practicable after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer return those certificates for unaccepted Existing Notes (or effect appropriate book-entry transfer), together with any related required documents and the Letters of Transmittal relating thereto that are in your possession, to the persons who deposited them.

Section 12. All certificates for reissued Existing Notes, unaccepted Existing Notes or for New Notes (other than those effected by book-entry transfer) shall be forwarded by (a) first-class certified mail, return receipt requested, under a blanket surety bond obtained by you protecting you and the Issuers from loss or liability arising out of the non-receipt or non-delivery of such certificates or (b) registered mail insured separately for the replacement value of each of such certificates.

4

Section 13. You are not authorized to pay or offer to pay any concessions, commissions or solicitation fees to any broker, dealer, bank or other persons or to engage or utilize any person to solicit tenders.

Section 14. As Exchange Agent hereunder you:

(a) shall have no duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth in the Prospectus or set forth herein or as may be subsequently agreed to in writing by you and the Issuers;

(b) will be regarded as making no representations and having no responsibilities as to the validity, sufficiency, value or genuineness of any of the certificates or the Existing Notes represented thereby deposited with you pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and will not be required to and will make no representation as to the validity, value or genuineness of the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no way will your general duty to act in good faith be discharged by the foregoing;

(c) shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder which might in your reasonable judgment involve any expense or liability, unless you shall have been furnished with reasonable indemnity;

(d) may reasonably rely on and shall be protected in acting in good faith in reliance upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document or security delivered to you and reasonably believed by you to be valid, genuine and to have been signed by the proper party or parties;

(e) may reasonably act upon any tender, statement, request, comment, agreement or other instrument whatsoever not only as to its due execution and validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which you shall in good faith reasonably believe to be genuine or to have been signed or represented by a proper person or persons;

(f) may rely on and shall be protected in acting upon written or oral instructions from any officer of the Issuers;

(g) may consult with your counsel with respect to any questions relating to your duties and responsibilities and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by you hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel; and

5

(h) shall not advise any person tendering Existing Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer as to the wisdom of making such tender or as to the market value or decline or appreciation in market value of any Existing Notes;

(i) may perform any of your duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, provided, however, that you shall be as fully responsible to the Issuers for the acts and omissions of any agent or attorney as you are for your own acts and omissions.

Section 15. You shall take such action as may from time to time be requested by the Issuers or their counsel (and such other action as you may reasonably deem appropriate) to furnish copies of the Prospectus, Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (as defined in the Prospectus) or such other forms as may be approved from time to time by the Issuers, to all persons requesting such documents and to accept and comply with telephone requests for information relating to the Exchange Offer, provided that such information shall relate only to the procedures for accepting (or withdrawing from) the Exchange Offer. The Issuers will furnish you with copies of such documents at your request. All other requests for information relating to the Exchange Offer shall be directed to the Issuers, Attention: Ralph S. Mason, III, Esq., General Counsel of Jafra Cosmetics International, Inc.

Section 16. You shall advise by facsimile transmission or telephone, and promptly thereafter confirm in writing to Ralph S. Mason, III, Esq., General Counsel of Jafra Cosmetics International, Inc. and such other person or persons as he may request, daily (and more frequently during the week immediately preceding the Expiration Date and if otherwise requested) up to and including the Expiration Date, as to the number of Existing Notes which have been tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the items received by you pursuant to this Agreement, separately reporting and giving cumulative totals as to items properly received, items improperly received and items covered by Notices of Guaranteed Delivery. In addition, you will also inform, and cooperate in making available to, the Issuers or any such other authorized person or persons upon oral or written request made from time to time prior to the Expiration Date of such other information as they reasonably request. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, the granting by you to the Issuers and such person as the Issuers may request of access to those persons on your staff who are responsible for receiving tenders, in order to ensure that immediately prior to the Expiration Date, the Issuers shall have received information in sufficient detail to enable them to decide whether to extend the Exchange Offer. You shall prepare a list of all registered holders (and other holders known to you) who failed to tender or whose tenders were not accepted and the aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes not tendered or not accepted and deliver said list to the Issuers at least seven days prior to the Expiration Date. You shall also prepare a final list of all persons whose tenders were accepted, the aggregate principal amount of

6

Existing Notes tendered, the aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes accepted and deliver said list to the Issuers.

Section 17. Letters of Transmittal and Notices of Guaranteed Delivery shall be stamped by you as to the date and the time of receipt thereof and shall be preserved by you for a period of time at least equal to the period of time you preserve other records pertaining to the transfer of securities. You shall dispose of unused Letters of Transmittal and other surplus materials by returning them to the Issuers.

Section 18. You hereby expressly waive any lien, encumbrance or right of setoff whatsoever that you may have with respect to funds deposited with you for the payment of transfer taxes by reasons of amounts, if any, borrowed by the Issuers, or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates pursuant to any loan or credit agreement with you or for compensation owed to you hereunder.

Section 19. For services rendered as Exchange Agent hereunder, you shall be entitled to such compensation as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

Section 20. You hereby acknowledge receipt of the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal and further acknowledge that you have examined each of them. Any inconsistency between this Agreement, on the one hand, and the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal (as they may be amended from time to time), on the other hand, shall be resolved in favor of the latter two documents, except with respect to the duties, liabilities and rights, including compensation and indemnification of you as Exchange Agent, which shall be controlled by this Agreement.

Section 21. The Issuers covenant and agree to indemnify and hold you harmless in your capacity as Exchange Agent hereunder against any loss, liability, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, arising out of or in connection with any act, omission, delay or refusal made by you in reliance upon any signature, endorsement, assignment, certificate, order, request, notice, instruction or other instrument or document reasonably believed by you to be valid, genuine and sufficient and in accepting any tender or effecting any transfer of Existing Notes reasonably believed by you in good faith to be authorized, and in delaying or refusing in good faith to accept any tenders or effect any transfer of Existing Notes; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be liable for indemnification or otherwise for any loss, liability, cost or expense to the extent arising out of your negligence, willful breach of this Agreement, willful misconduct or bad faith. In no case shall the Issuers be liable under this indemnity with respect to any claim against you unless the Issuers shall be notified by you, by letter or cable or by facsimile confirmed by letter, of the written assertion of a claim against you or of any other action commenced against you, promptly, but in any event within enough time to file an answer to such claim, after you shall have received any such written assertion or notice of commencement of action. Failure to so notify the

7

Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers of any liability which they may have otherwise than on account of this Agreement except such liability which is a result of your failure to notify promptly. The Issuers shall be entitled to participate at their own expense in the defense of any such claim or other action, and, if the Issuers so elect, the Issuers shall assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such claim. In the event that the Issuers shall assume the defense of any such suit, the Issuers shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by you, which fees and expenses are incurred thereafter, so long as the Issuers shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to you to defend such suit except for any reasonable fees and expenses of your counsel incurred in representing you that are necessary and appropriate as a result of the need to have separate representation because the Issuers' counsel has reasonably determined a conflict of interest exists between the Issuers and you. You shall not settle or compromise any such action, proceeding, suit or claim or other action without the prior written consent of the Issuers.

Section 22. You shall arrange to comply with all requirements under the tax laws of the United States, including those relating to missing Tax Identification Numbers, and shall file any appropriate reports with the Internal Revenue Service. The Issuers understand that you are required to deduct backup withholding at applicable rates on payments to holders who have not supplied their correct Taxpayer Identification Number or required certification. You shall turn over such funds to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with applicable regulations.

Section 23. This Agreement and your appointment as Exchange Agent hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, and without regard to conflicts of law principles to the extent that such rules or principles would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction, and shall inure to the benefit of, and the obligations created hereby shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto, provided, however, you may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Issuers.

Section 24. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 25. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The undersigned acknowledges that he, she or it has received and reviewed the Prospectus, dated August 14, 2003 (as so amended, the "Prospectus"), of Jafra Cosmetics International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Distribuidora Comercial Jafra, S.A. de C.V., a sociedad anonima de capital variable organized under the laws of the United Mexican States (collectively, the "Issuers") and this Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter"), which together constitute the Issuers' offer (the "Exchange Offer") to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to $200,000,000 of their 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011 (the "New Notes"), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for a like principal amount of the Issuers' issued and outstanding 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011 (the "Existing Notes") from the registered holders thereof (the "Holders").

For each Existing Note accepted for exchange, the Holder of such Existing Note will receive a New Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Existing Note. The New Notes will bear interest from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the Existing Notes or, if no interest has been paid on the Existing Notes, from May 20, 2003. Accordingly, registered Holders of New Notes on the relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the consummation of the Exchange Offer will receive interest accruing from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from May 20, 2003. Existing Notes accepted for exchange will cease to accrue interest from and after the date of consummation of the Exchange Offer. Holders of Existing Notes whose Existing Notes are accepted for exchange will not receive any payment in respect of accrued interest on such Existing Notes otherwise payable on any interest payment date the record date for which occurs on or after consummation of the Exchange Offer.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by a Holder of Existing Notes if certificates representing Existing Notes are to be physically delivered to the Exchange Agent herewith by the Holder or if tender of Existing Notes is to be made by book-entry transfer to the account maintained by the Exchange Agent at The Depository Trust Company (the "Book-Entry Transfer Facility") pursuant to the procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer -- Book-Entry Transfer" section of the Prospectus and an Agent's Message (as defined in the Instructions) will not be delivered as provided in the Instructions hereto. Holders of Existing Notes whose certificates are not immediately available, or who are unable to deliver their certificates or confirmation of the book-entry tender of their Existing Notes into the Exchange Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility (a "Book-Entry Confirmation") and all other documents required by this Letter to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date, must tender their Existing Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer -- Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" section of the Prospectus. See Instruction 1.

If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive New Notes, it represents that the Existing Notes to be exchanged for the New Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities.

NOTE: SIGNATURES MUST BE PROVIDED BELOW.
PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Issuers the aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of the Existing Notes tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Issuers all right, title and interest in and to such Existing Notes as are being tendered hereby.

The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent as the undersigned's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to such tendered Existing Notes, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), among other things, to cause the Existing Notes to be assigned, transferred and exchanged. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Existing Notes, and to acquire New Notes issuable upon the exchange of such tendered Existing Notes, and that, when the same are accepted for exchange, the Issuers will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim when the same are accepted by the Issuers and such Existing Notes will not have been transferred to the Issuers in violation of any contractual or other restriction on the transfer thereof. The undersigned hereby further represents and warrants that any New Notes acquired in exchange for Existing Notes tendered hereby will have been acquired in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving such New Notes, whether or not such person is the undersigned, that neither the Holder of such Existing Notes nor any such other person is participating in, intends to participate in or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")) of such New Notes, that neither the Holder of such Existing Notes nor any such other person is an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of the Issuers, and that neither the Holder of such Existing Notes nor such other person is acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the foregoing representations and warranties.

The undersigned acknowledges that this Exchange Offer is being made in reliance on interpretations by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, that the New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for the Existing Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by Holders thereof (other than any such Holder that is an "affiliate" of the Issuers within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such Holder's business and such Holder has no arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution of such New Notes. However, the SEC has not considered the Exchange Offer in the context of a no-action letter and there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Offer as in other circumstances. If the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of New Notes and has no arrangement or understanding to participate in a distribution of New Notes. If any Holder is an affiliate of the Issuers, is engaged in or intends to engage in or has any arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the New Notes to be acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer, such Holder (i) could not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC and (ii) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for Existing Notes, it represents that the Existing Notes to be exchanged for the New Notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such New Notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

The SEC has taken the position that such broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the New Notes (other than a resale of New Notes received in exchange for an unsold allotment from the original sale of the Existing Notes) with the Prospectus. The Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by such broker-dealers for a period of time, starting on the Expiration Date and ending on the close of business 90 days after the Expiration Date in connection with the sale or transfer of such New Notes. The Issuers

4

have agreed that, for such period of time, it will make the Prospectus (as it may be amended or supplemented) available to a broker-dealer which elects to exchange Existing Notes, acquired for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities, for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer (each a "Participating Broker-Dealer") for use in connection with any resale of such New Notes. By accepting the Exchange Offer, each broker-dealer that receives New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer acknowledges and agrees to notify the Issuers prior to using the Prospectus in connection with the sale or transfer of New Notes and that, upon receipt of notice from the Issuers of the happening of any event which makes any statement in the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading, such broker-dealer will suspend use of the Prospectus until (i) the Issuers have amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission and (ii) either the Issuers have furnished copies of the amended or supplemented Prospectus to such broker-dealer or, if the Issuers have not otherwise agreed to furnish such copies and decline to do so after such broker-dealer so requests, such broker-dealer has obtained a copy of such amended or supplemented Prospectus as filed with the SEC. The Issuers agree, if requested, to deliver such notice and such amended or supplemented Prospectus promptly to any Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the Issuers have received prior written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer. Except as described above, the Prospectus may not be used for or in connection with an offer to resell, a resale or any other retransfer of New Notes. A broker-dealer that acquired Existing Notes in a transaction other than as part of its market-making activities or other trading activities will not be able to participate in the Exchange Offer.

The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Issuers to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Existing Notes tendered hereby. All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter and every obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. This tender may be withdrawn only in accordance with the procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer--Withdrawal of Tenders" section of the Prospectus.

The undersigned understands that tender of Existing Notes pursuant to any of the procedures described in the "Procedures for Tendering" section of the Prospectus and in the instructions hereto will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Issuers upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus, including the undersigned's representation that the undersigned owns the Existing Notes being tendered. The undersigned recognizes that, under certain circumstances set forth in the Prospectus, the Issuers may not be required to accept for exchange any of the Existing Notes tendered hereby.

Unless otherwise indicated herein in the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" below, please deliver the New Notes (and, if applicable, substitute certificates representing Existing Notes for any Existing Notes not exchanged) in the name of the undersigned or, in the case of a book-entry delivery of Existing Notes, please credit the account indicated above maintained at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" below, please send the New Notes (and, if applicable, substitute certificates representing Existing Notes for any Existing Notes not exchanged) to the undersigned at the address shown above in the box entitled "Description of Existing Notes."

THE UNDERSIGNED, BY COMPLETING THE BOX ENTITLED "DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING NOTES" ABOVE AND SIGNING THIS LETTER, WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE TENDERED THE EXISTING NOTES AS SET FORTH IN SUCH BOX ABOVE.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

1. DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER AND NOTES; GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by a Holder (a) if certificates representing Existing Notes are to be physically delivered to the Exchange Agent herewith by the Holder, (b) if tender of Existing Notes is to be made by book-entry transfer to the Exchange Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility and an Agent's Message (as defined below) is not delivered as provided in the next paragraph, or (c) if tenders are to be made according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the prospectus under "The Exchange Offer -- Guaranteed Delivery Procedures."

Certificates for all physically tendered Existing Notes, as well as a properly completed and duly executed Letter (or manually signed facsimile hereof) and any other documents required by this Letter, must be received by the Exchange Agent at the address set forth herein on or prior to the Expiration Date, or the tendering Holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below. Existing Notes tendered hereby must be in denominations of principal amount of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Tenders by book-entry transfer may be made by delivering an Agent's Message in lieu of this Letter. "Agent's Message" means a message transmitted by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to, and received by, the Exchange Agent and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation (as defined below), which message states that the Book-Entry Transfer Facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility tendering the Existing Notes which are the subject of the Book-Entry Confirmation that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the Letter and that the Issuers may enforce the Letter against such participant. "Book-entry confirmation" means a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of Notes into the Exchange Agent's account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility.

Holders whose certificates for Existing Notes are not immediately available or who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required documents to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date, or who cannot complete the procedure for book entry transfer on a timely basis, may tender their Existing Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer -- Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" section of the Prospectus. Pursuant to such procedures, (i) such tender must be made through an Eligible Institution (as defined below), (ii) prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent must receive from such Eligible Institution a properly completed and duly executed Letter (or a facsimile thereof) and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by the Issuers (by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery), setting forth the name and address of the Holder of Existing Notes and the amount of Existing Notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that within three New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") trading days after the Expiration Date, the certificates for all physically tendered Existing Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, and any other documents required by this Letter will be deposited by the Eligible Institution with the Exchange Agent, and (iii) the certificates for all physically tendered Existing Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, and all other documents required by this Letter, are received by the Exchange Agent within three NYSE trading days after the Expiration Date.

The method of delivery of this Letter, the Existing Notes and all other required documents is at the election and risk of the tendering Holders, but the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received or confirmed by the Exchange Agent. If Existing Notes are sent by mail, it is suggested that the mailing be registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, made sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date to permit delivery to the Exchange Agent prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

See "The Exchange Offer" section of the Prospectus.

2. PARTIAL TENDERS (NOT APPLICABLE TO NOTEHOLDERS WHO TENDER BY BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER).

If less than all of the Existing Notes evidenced by a submitted certificate are to be tendered, the tendering Holder(s) should fill in the aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes to be tendered in the box above entitled "Description of Existing Notes -- Principal Amount Tendered." A reissued certificate representing the balance of nontendered Existing Notes will be sent to such tendering Holder, unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter, promptly after the Expiration Date. ALL OF THE EXISTING NOTES DELIVERED TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN TENDERED UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED.

3. SIGNATURES ON THIS LETTER; BOND POWERS AND ENDORSEMENTS; GUARANTEE OF SIGNATURES.

If this Letter is signed by the registered Holder of the Existing Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond exactly with the name as written on the face of the certificates without any change whatsoever.

If any tendered Existing Notes are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all of such owners must sign this Letter.

If any tendered Existing Notes are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter as there are different registrations of certificates.

When this Letter is signed by the registered Holder or Holders of the Existing Notes specified herein and tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate bond powers are required. If, however, the New Notes are to be issued, or any untendered Existing Notes are to be reissued, to a person other than the registered Holder, then endorsements of any certificates transmitted hereby or separate bond powers are required. Signatures on such certificate(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

If this Letter is signed by a person other than the registered Holder or Holders of any certificate(s) specified herein, such certificate(s) must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers, in either case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered Holder or Holders appear(s) on the certificate(s) and signatures on such certificate(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

If this Letter or any certificates or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by the Issuers, proper evidence satisfactory to the Issuers of their authority to so act must be submitted.

ENDORSEMENTS ON CERTIFICATES FOR EXISTING NOTES OR SIGNATURES ON BOND POWERS REQUIRED BY THIS INSTRUCTION 3 MUST BE GUARANTEED BY A FIRM WHICH IS A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION (INCLUDING MOST BANKS, SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS AND BROKERAGE HOUSES) THAT IS A PARTICIPANT IN THE SECURITIES TRANSFER AGENTS MEDALLION PROGRAM, THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE MEDALLION SIGNATURE PROGRAM OR THE STOCK EXCHANGES MEDALLION PROGRAM (EACH AN "ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION").

SIGNATURES ON THIS LETTER NEED NOT BE GUARANTEED BY AN ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION, PROVIDED THE EXISTING NOTES ARE TENDERED: (I) BY A REGISTERED HOLDER OF EXISTING NOTES (WHICH TERM, FOR PURPOSES OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER, INCLUDES ANY PARTICIPANT IN THE BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY SYSTEM WHOSE NAME APPEARS ON A SECURITY POSITION LISTING AS THE HOLDER OF SUCH EXISTING NOTES) WHO HAS NOT COMPLETED THE BOX ENTITLED "SPECIAL ISSUANCE INSTRUCTIONS" OR "SPECIAL DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS" THIS LETTER, OR (II) FOR THE ACCOUNT OF AN ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION.

4. SPECIAL ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS.

Tendering Holders of Existing Notes should indicate in the applicable box the name and address to which New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer and or substitute certificates evidencing Existing Notes not exchanged are to be issued or sent, if different from the name or address of the person signing this Letter. In the case of issuance in a different name, the employer identification or social security number of the person named must also be indicated. Holders tendering Existing Notes by book-entry transfer may request that Existing Notes not exchanged be credited to such account maintained at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility as such Holder may designate hereon. If no such instructions are given, such Existing Notes not exchanged will be returned to the name and address of the person signing this Letter.

5. TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.

Federal income tax law generally requires that a tendering Holder whose Existing Notes are accepted for exchange must provide the Issuers (as payors), or the Paying Agent designated by the Issuers to act on its behalf, with such Holder's correct Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN") on Substitute Form W-9 below, which in the case of a tendering Holder who is an individual is his or her social security number. If the Issuers are not provided with the current TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption from backup withholding, such tendering Holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, the Exchange Agent may be required to withhold a percentage, at applicable rates, of the amount of any reportable payments made after the exchange of such tendering Holder of New Notes. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained.

Exempt Holders of Existing Notes (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. See the enclosed Guidelines of Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 (the "W-9 Guidelines") for additional instructions.

To prevent backup withholding, each tendering Holder of Existing Notes must provide its correct TIN by completing the Substitute Form W-9 set forth below, certifying, under penalties of perjury, that the TIN provided is correct (or that such Holder is awaiting a TIN) and that (i) the Holder is exempt from backup withholding, or (ii) the Holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that such Holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or (iii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the Holder that such Holder is no longer subject to backup withholding. If the tendering Holder of Existing Notes is a nonresident alien or foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, such Holder must give the Exchange Agent a completed Form W-8, Certificate of Foreign Status. This form may be obtained from the Exchange Agent. If the Existing Notes are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, such Holder should consult the W-9 Guidelines for information on which TIN to report. If such Holder does not have a TIN, such Holder should consult the W-9 Guidelines for instructions on applying for a TIN, check the box in Part 2 of the Substitute Form W-9 and write "applied for" in lieu of its TIN. Note: Checking this box and writing "applied for" on the form means that such Holder has already applied for a TIN or that such Holder intends to apply for one in the near future. If the box in Part 2 of the Substitute Form W-9 is checked, the Exchange Agent will retain, at applicable rates, a percentage of reportable payments made to a Holder during the sixty (60) day period following the date of the Substitute Form W-9. If the Holder furnishes the Exchange Agent with his or her TIN within sixty (60) days of the date of the Substitute Form W-9, the Exchange Agent will remit such amounts retained during such period to such Holder and no further amounts will be retained or withheld from payments made to the Holder thereafter. If, however, such holder does not provide its TIN to the Exchange Agent within such sixty (60) day period, the Exchange Agent will remit such previously withheld amounts to the Internal Revenue Service as backup withholding and will withhold at applicable rates a percentage of all reportable payments to the Holder thereafter until such Holder furnishes its TIN to the Exchange Agent.

6. TRANSFER TAXES.

The amount of any transfer taxes imposed on the registered holder or any other persons will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with this letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS INSTRUCTION 6, IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR TRANSFER TAX STAMPS TO BE AFFIXED TO THE EXISTING NOTES SPECIFIED IN THIS LETTER.

7. WAIVER OF CONDITIONS.

The Issuers reserve the absolute right to waive satisfaction of any or all conditions enumerated in the Prospectus.

8. NO CONDITIONAL TENDERS.

No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering Holders of Existing Notes, by execution of this Letter, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of their Existing Notes for exchange.

Neither the Issuers, the Exchange Agent nor any other person is obligated to give notice of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of Existing Notes nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

10

9. MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED EXISTING NOTES.

Any Holder whose Existing Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed should contact the Exchange Agent at the address indicated above for further instructions. This Letter and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed certificate(s) have been followed.

10. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.

Tenders of Existing Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

For a withdrawal of a tender of Existing Notes to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be received by the Exchange Agent at the address set forth above prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Any such notice of withdrawal must (i) specify the name of the person having tendered the Existing Notes to be withdrawn (the "Depositor"), (ii) identify the Existing Notes to be withdrawn (including certificate number or numbers and the principal amount of such Existing Notes), (iii) contain a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Existing Notes exchanged, (iv) be signed by the Holder in the same manner as the original signature on the Letter by which such Existing Notes were tendered (including any required signature guarantees) or be accompanied by documents of transfer to have the Trustee with respect to the Existing Notes register the transfer of such Existing Notes in the name of the person withdrawing the tender and (v) specify the name in which such Existing Notes are registered, if different from that of the Depositor. If Existing Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer set forth in "The Exchange Offer -- Book-Entry Transfer" section of the Prospectus, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited with the withdrawn Existing Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of such facility. All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices will be determined by the Issuers, whose determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Any Existing Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the Exchange Offer and no New Notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the Existing Notes so withdrawn are validly retendered.

PRIVACY ACT NOTICE -- Section 6109 requires most recipients of dividend, interest, or other payments to give correct taxpayer identification numbers to payers who must report the payments to the IRS. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to verify the accuracy of such recipient's tax return. The IRS may also provide this information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities, states, and the District of Columbia to carry out their tax laws. The IRS may also disclose this information to other countries under a tax treaty, or to Federal and state agencies to enforce Federal nontax criminal laws and to combat terrorism. Payers must be given the numbers whether or not recipients are required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold, at the appropriate rates, on payments of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not furnish a correct taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.

PENALTIES

(1) PENALTY FOR FAILURE TO FURNISH TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER -- If you fail to furnish your correct taxpayer identification number to a payer, you may be subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

(2) CIVIL PENALTY FOR FALSE INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO WITHHOLDING -- If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no imposition of backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500.

(3) CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR FALSIFYING INFORMATION -- Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

(4) MISUSE OF TINS -- If the payer discloses or uses TINs in violation of Federal law, the payer may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.
