To the Holder (the "Holder") Named on
Schedule I hereto which is a
signatory to this Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the separate Note Agreements dated as of October
15, 1992 (the "Note Agreements"), between Xxxxx Supermarkets, Inc., an Indiana
corporation (the "Company"), and the original institutional purchasers of the
following described Notes, under and pursuant to which $35,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of 8.54% Senior Notes, Series A, Due December 31, 2007 and
$15,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.13% Senior Notes, Series B, Due
December 3l, 2004 of the Company (together the "Notes") were originally issued.
You and the other parties named in Schedule I hereto are herein sometimes
referred to as the "Holders".
The Company deems it desirable to transfer its retail operations and
all personnel, assets and liabilities relating thereto to Xxxxx Supermarkets,
LLC, an Indiana limited liability company and a Wholly-owned Subsidiary of the
Company (the "Additional Obligor"). In connection with and in consideration for,
among other things, such transfer of assets, the Additional Obligor is willing
to become a joint and several obligor on all obligations of the Company under
the Notes and the Note Agreements, as amended hereby, and by its execution and
delivery of this Amendment to Note Agreements and Assumption Agreement (this
"Agreement") and whether or not the Company and the Additional Obligor shall
hereafter execute and deliver the Exchange Notes pursuant to Section 4 hereof,
the Additional Obligor does from and after the date hereof undertake and become
a joint and
3
several obligor in respect of all of the obligations of the Company
under the Notes and under the Note Agreements, as the same are amended hereby.
In connection with such transfer of assets by the Company and
undertaking as joint and several obligation by the Additional Obligor, the
Company and the Additional Obligor desire to amend certain provisions of the
Note Agreements and hereby request that you accept the amendments as set forth
below in the manner herein provided.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the benefits to
the Company and the Additional Obligor and for the purpose of inducing the
Holder to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,
the Company and the Additional Obligor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATION; CONSENT.
Subject to the terms and provisions hereof and from and after the date
hereof, the Additional Obligor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, unconditionally
and expressly assumes, as a joint and several obligor with the Company (i) the
due and punctual payment of all of the principal of, and interest and premium,
if any, on the Notes and all other amounts to be paid under or pursuant to the
Note Agreements, as amended hereby, in accordance with the terms of the Notes
and of the Note Agreements, as so amended, and (ii) the due and punctual
observance and performance of all covenants and provisions contained in the Note
Agreements, as amended hereby. From and after the date hereof, all interest
accrued on the Notes shall become the joint and several obligation of the
Company and the Additional Obligor and shall be paid on the next scheduled
interest payment date thereunder. The Company and the Additional Obligor each
for itself covenants and agrees that its obligations and liabilities under the
Note Agreements, as amended, and in respect of the Notes shall be their joint
and several obligations, which obligations in each such case shall be those of a
primary obligor and not a guarantor, surety or other secondary party and shall
not be discharged, impaired or varied by reason of any breach or default by the
Company or the Additional Obligor or for any reason except payment of the
principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and any other
amounts payable under the Notes and the Note Agreements, as amended, and in
accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Note Agreements, as amended, and
then only to the extent of such payments.

Agreement and the Notes, (ii) at the time of such

Voting Stock or controlling ownership interest, as the case
may be, of such Restricted Subsidiary is owned by the Company
and/or one or more of its Wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries,
unless:
(1) simultaneously with such sale, transfer or
disposition, all shares of stock and all Indebtedness of
such Restricted Subsidiary at the time owned by the
Company and by every other Subsidiary shall be sold,
transferred or disposed of as an entirety;

any other Subsidiary not being simultaneously disposed of;
and
(5) such sale or other disposition does not involve
a substantial part (as hereinafter defined) of the assets
of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries.
As used in this Section 5.11, a sale, lease or other
disposition of assets shall be deemed to be a "substantial part"
of the assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries only
if the net book value of such assets when added to the net book
value of all other assets sold, leased or otherwise disposed of
by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than in
the ordinary course of business) during the most recent
twelve-month period, exceeds 10% of the Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
determined as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal
quarter. Sales or other realization on delinquent receivables
shall not be included in any computation of sales or other
