THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT, TENTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT, FIFTH AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED ADDENDUM TO CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THIRD AMENDMENT TO SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is dated as of July 1, 2019, by and among (A) Fred’s, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (“Parent”); (B) the Subsidiaries of Parent identified on the signature pages hereto as Borrowers (each of such Subsidiaries, together with Parent, jointly and severally, “Borrowers” and, each, a “Borrower”); (C) the Subsidiaries of Parent identified as Guarantors on the signature pages hereto (each of such Subsidiaries, jointly and severally, “Guarantors” and, each, a “Guarantor”; Guarantors, together with Borrowers, jointly and severally, “Loan Parties” and, each, a “Loan Party”); (D) the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement (as defined below); (E) the Co-Collateral Agents party to the Credit Agreement (as defined below); and (F) Regions Bank, an Alabama bank, in its capacity as administrative agent for Lenders, LC Issuers and other Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”).

Recitals:

Loan Parties, Lenders, Swingline Lender, LC Issuers, Co-Collateral Agents and Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of April 9, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

Loan Parties, Lenders, Administrative Agent, and certain other parties have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Addendum to Credit Agreement dated as of January 27, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Addendum”).

Loan Parties and Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Security Agreement dated as of April 9, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”).

Each reference to “hereof,” “hereunder,” “herein,” and “hereby” and each other similar reference and each reference to “this Agreement” and each other similar reference contained in the Forbearance Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Addendum, and the Security Agreement shall from and after the date hereof refer to the Forbearance Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Addendum, and the Security Agreement respectively, as amended hereby.

- 2 -

(c) Amendment to Section 15. Section 15 of the Forbearance Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new sentence immediately following the end of the last sentence of such Section:

It is acknowledged and agreed that as a result of the Forbearance Condition Breach (as defined in the Second Amendment), Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as a Co-Collateral Agent, and Regions Bank, in its capacities as Administrative Agent and as a Co-Collateral Agent, are not required to release any Reserves in existence as of the date of this Agreement as contemplated above, notwithstanding the Loan Parties’ delivery (whether or not after the Second Amendment Date) of one or more signed, binding and bona fide commitment letters for a Refinancing Transaction pursuant to, and as more fully set forth in, Section 31.

(d) New Sections. The Forbearance Agreement is hereby amended by adding new Sections 30 and 31 as follows:

30. Special Advances. Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that they have requested Lenders to fund a Revolving Loan on or about the Second Amendment Date in the amount of $10,290,411.00 for the purpose of making the payments specifically identified in writing by Loan Parties to Administrative Agent and Co-Collateral Agents as part of the Cash Flow Forecast as in effect on the Second Amendment Date and related daily budget; the funding of the requested Revolving Loan would cause the Aggregate Revolving Obligations to exceed the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Addendum) after giving effect to the Second Amendment by an amount equal to $12,269,714.00, and, if funded by Lenders, such Revolving Loan would constitute an Overadvance (as defined in the Addendum) (such requested Overadvance, the “Specified Overadvance”); without limiting the discretion of the Lenders set forth in Section 7(a) above (including as a result of the expiration of the Forbearance Period as more fully set forth in Section 7 of the Second Amendment), Lenders have no obligation to honor any request for any Revolving Loan, including the Specified Overadvance, but may do so in their discretion; to induce Lenders to fund the Specified Overadvance, Loan Parties are willing to provide Secured Parties with the additional Collateral referred to in Sections 5 and 8 of the Second Amendment; and, in exchange for such additional Collateral (Liens on which are to be granted concurrently with the funding of the requested Specified Overadvance), Lenders are willing to, and shall, fund the requested Specified Overadvance (a “Special Advance”) on all of the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Amendment and the Forbearance Agreement. The principal amount of the Special Advance and all interest accrued thereon shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall be secured by all of the Collateral, but, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents, shall be deemed the last of the Revolving Loans to be repaid until Payment in Full of all Obligations. If Lenders, in their discretion, elect to honor any request for an Overadvance after the Second Amendment Date, each such Overadvance shall be deemed to constitute a “Special Advance” and shall be deemed added to each prior Special Advance made by Lenders (including the initial Special Advance made on or about the Second Amendment Date). The books and records of Administrative Agent related to the Revolving Loans and other Obligations may account for each Special Advance and its repayment pursuant to this Section 30, but the failure of any such books and records to reflect any such Special Advances or terms of repayment shall not override or otherwise affect any of the provisions of this Section 30. Nothing contained herein shall affect the ability of Administrative Agent or any Co-Collateral Agent to adjust the Borrowing Base, determine Availability, and apply collections to the Obligations in their discretion.

31. Delivery of Commitment Papers. Notwithstanding the existence of the Forbearance Condition Breach (as defined in the Second Amendment), and without waiving the Forbearance Condition Breach (as defined in the Second Amendment) as in

- 3 -

existence on the Second Amendment Date, Loan Parties shall continue diligently to pursue (and deliver copies thereof to Administrative Agent) one or more signed, binding and bona fide commitment letters for a Refinancing Transaction, which commitment letters shall have conditionality that is limited and that are otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and each Co-Collateral Agent in their respective discretion (it being understood that all draft commitment letters delivered to Administrative Agent and each Co-Collateral Agent on or before the Second Amendment Date do not have conditionality that is limited and are not otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and each Co-Collateral Agent).

SECTION 3. Amendments to Credit Agreement.

(a) Amendment to Existing Definition. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the following definition therein in its entirety and by substituting the following in lieu thereof:

“Aggregate Revolving Commitments” shall mean, collectively, the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders. As of July 1, 2019, the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments is $97,500,000; provided, that the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced on July 13, 2019, from $97,500,000 to $91,000,000, which reductions in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied to reduce the Revolving Commitments of each Lender on a ratable basis in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (immediately prior to giving effect to any such reduction). Effective as of the date of such reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, Schedule 1 shall be deemed to be automatically amended to reflect such reduction.

(b) Amendment to Schedules. Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement (Commitments) is hereby amended by deleting such schedule and substituting in lieu thereof Schedule 1 to this Amendment.

SECTION 4. Amendment to Addendum. Section 7 of the Addendum is hereby amended by deleting the last paragraph of such section in its entirety and by substituting the following in lieu thereof

In addition to the foregoing, no later than 2:00 p.m. on each Business Day, commencing July 2, 2019, Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent an update to the most recent monthly Borrowing Base Certificate with respect to Borrowers’ Inventory prepared as of the close of business on the immediately preceding calendar day substantially in the form of a Borrowing Base Certificate or in such other form as may be acceptable to Administrative Agent from time to time in its discretion (such Borrowing Base Certificate, as so updated, shall, for all purposes under this Addendum and the other Loan Documents, constitute the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate hereunder).

SECTION 5. Additional Collateral.

(a) Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges, ratifies, restates and affirms to Administrative Agent, each Co-Collateral Agent, each Lender, and each other Secured Party such Loan Party’s grant of a continuing security interest in and Lien on, and hereby grants (to the extent that such Loan Party has not previously granted a security interest in and Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement) a security interest in and Lien on, all of the Collateral in favor of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, as security for the Obligations.

(b) From and after the Second Amendment Date, for good and valuable consideration, including Lenders’ agreement to fund the initial Special Advance and subject to the terms hereof, the Collateral under (and as defined in) the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include, and the Security Agreement shall be deemed amended so that the term Collateral includes, all of the following types and items of Property of each Loan Party, whether now owned or hereafter created, acquired or arising, and wherever located, to the extent that such Loan Party has not previously granted a security interest therein pursuant to the Security Agreement, and to secure the full and final payment and performance of all Obligations, and each Loan Party hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest and Lien upon all such Property, as follows:
