(the "Parent"), XXXXXX RETAIL GROUP INC. (the "Borrower"), the financial

AMERICA CANADA, in its capacity as agent (the "Agent") and in its individual
capacity as a Bank hereunder.
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Parent, the Agent and the Banks
have entered into that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of February
10, 1999 (together with any and all amendments and modifications thereof, the
"Credit Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Credit Agreement provides that upon the
designation, formation or acquisition of any Restricted Subsidiary, the Parent
shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to deliver to the Agent for the benefit
of the Banks a guaranty of the obligations of the Borrower in the form of a
guaranty supplement set forth as Exhibit A to the Affiliate Guaranty
(capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement); and
WHEREAS, the Parent has acquired K&G of Ohio, Inc., a Georgia
corporation ("K&G Ohio"), and Xxxxx Cigars, LLC, a Georgia limited liability
company ("Xxxxx") as Subsidiaries; and
WHEREAS, K&G Ohio and Xxxxx are de minimis Subsidiaries, and
the Parent has requested that the Credit Agreement be amended to provide that
such Subsidiaries shall not be required to deliver a guaranty supplement unless
there is a substantial increase in the net worth of such Subsidiaries and in
several other respects as provided for herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Amendments to Credit Agreement.
(a) The definition of "Restricted Subsidiary" set forth in
Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the sentence
"Except for directors' qualifying shares and the Exchangeable Shares, each
Restricted Subsidiary shall be directly or indirectly wholly-owned by the
Parent." and by inserting in lieu thereof the sentence "Except for directors'
qualifying shares, the Exchangeable Shares and minority interests, if any, in
K&G of Ohio, Inc. and Xxxxx Cigars, LLC, each Restricted Subsidiary shall be
directly or indirectly wholly-owned by the Parent; provided, however, that in
the event K&G of Ohio, Inc. or Xxxxx Cigars, LLC shall become directly
2
or indirectly wholly-owned by the Parent, such entity shall thereafter remain
directly or indirectly wholly-owned by the Parent."
(b) Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
adding at the end thereof the following language:
It is furthermore agreed and understood that upon the
acquisition by the Parent of K&G of Ohio, Inc. and Xxxxx Cigars, LLC,
each such Subsidiary shall be a de minimis Subsidiary, and therefore,
each such Subsidiary shall be a Restricted Subsidiary but shall not be
required to execute and deliver a guaranty of the obligations of the
Borrower as of the date of such Subsidiary's acquisition. If there is a
substantial increase in the net worth of K&G of Ohio, Inc. or Xxxxx
Cigars, LLC, as applicable, after the date of such Subsidiary's
acquisition, the Parent agrees to cause such Restricted Subsidiary to
become an Affiliate Guarantor upon the request of the Agent.
