of America (“Prudential”)

Hartford Life Insurance Company (“Hartford”)
Medica Health Plans (“Medica”)
Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (“Pruco”)
Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (“PRIAC”)
Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company (“Mutual of Omaha”)
Each Prudential Affiliate (as hereinafter defined)
which becomes bound by certain provisions of this
Agreement as hereinafter provided (together with
Prudential, Hartford, Medica, Pruco, PRIAC
and Omaha, the “Purchasers”)

c/o Prudential Capital Group
0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xx., XX, Xxxxx 000
Xxxxxxx, XX 00000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Xxxxxxx Furniture Company (the “Company”) and the Purchasers are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2007, as amended or modified prior to the date hereof (the “Original Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company authorized and issued $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 8.44% Senior Notes due 2011 in the form of Exhibit A-1 (collectively, the “2001 Notes”), of which $1,428,571 remains outstanding on the date hereof and $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 8.23% Series AA Senior Notes due 2017 in the form of Exhibit A-2 (collectively, the “Series AA Notes”). The Purchasers together hold 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2001 Notes and the Series AA Notes.

The Company has requested that the Purchasers agree to certain modifications to the Original Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions hereto, the Purchasers are willing to do so; the parties wish to affect such changes by amending and restating the Original Agreement on the terms contained herein.

Therefore, the parties agree that the Original Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

1. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT; AUTHORIZATION OF ISSUE OF SHELF NOTES.

1A. Amendment and Restatement. Effective upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph 3, this Agreement amends, restates, supersedes and replaces the Original Agreement in its entirety, except (i) that the Original Agreement shall evidence the terms pursuant to which the 2001 Notes and Series AA Notes were originally issued and (ii) the Exhibits to the Original Agreement shall remain in effect except that references therein to the Note Agreement shall mean and be a reference to this restated Agreement. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement and is not, and is not intended by the parties to be, a novation of the Original Agreement or the Notes. All rights and obligations of the parties shall continue in effect, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. Upon this Agreement becoming effective, the provisions of Section 6A hereof shall be deemed effective as of April 1, 2010 so that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred as a result of failure to comply with the provisions of Section 6A of the Original Agreement. All references in the other Note Documents to the Agreement shall be deemed to refer to and mean this Agreement, as the same may be further amended, supplemented, and restated from time to time. The 2001 Notes and the Series AA Notes shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement from and after the date hereof. As of the date hereof the Available Facility Amount is $0 (as described in greater detail in paragraph 1B and 2B(1) below).

1B. Authorization of Issue of Shelf Notes. The Company may authorize the issue of its additional senior promissory notes (the “Shelf Notes”) in such aggregate principal amount that Company and Prudential may mutually agree (in their sole and absolute discretion) as set forth in a written amendment to this Agreement expressly referring to this paragraph. To the extent the Company and Prudential shall agree on the issuance of additional Shelf Notes, then such Shelf Note shall be dated the date of issue thereof, to mature no more than ten years after the date of original issuance thereof, to have an average life of no more than ten years after the date of original issuance thereof, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to such Shelf Note delivered pursuant to paragraph 2B(6) and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached to the Original Agreement. The terms “Shelf Note” and “Shelf Notes” as used herein shall include each Shelf Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Shelf Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Shelf Note pursuant to any such provision. The terms “Note” and “Notes” as used herein shall include each 2001 Note, each Series AA Note and each Shelf Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Note pursuant to any such provision. Notes which have (i) the same final maturity, (ii) the same principal prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment amounts (as a percentage of the original principal amount of each Note), (iv) the same interest rate, (v) the same interest payment periods and (vi) the same date of issuance (which, in the case of a Note issued in exchange for another Note, shall be deemed for these purposes the date on which such Note’s ultimate predecessor Note was issued), are herein called a “Series” of Notes.

2. PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES.

2A. Purchase and Sale of 2001 Notes and Series AA Notes. The Company has previously sold, and certain of the Purchasers (as described in more detail in the Purchaser Schedules applicable thereto) have purchased, the 2001 Notes and the Series AA Notes.

2B. Purchase and Sale of Shelf Notes.

2B(1). Facility. Prudential is willing to consider, in its sole discretion and within limits which may be authorized for purchase by Prudential and Prudential Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement. The willingness of Prudential to consider such purchase of Shelf Notes is herein called the “Facility”. At any time, the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes stated in paragraph 1B, minus the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement prior to such time, minus the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Notes (as hereinafter defined) which have not yet been purchased and sold hereunder prior to such time is herein called the “Available Facility Amount” at such time. NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF PRUDENTIAL TO CONSIDER PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER PRUDENTIAL NOR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE SHELF NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES, SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, AND THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY PRUDENTIAL OR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE.

2B(2). Issuance Period. Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of:

(i) the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (or if any such anniversary is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such anniversary),

(ii) the thirtieth day after Prudential shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to Prudential, a notice stating that it elects to terminate the issuance and sale of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such thirtieth day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such thirtieth day),

(iii) The last Closing Day after which there is no Available Facility Amount,

(iv) The termination of the Facility under paragraph 7, and

(v) The acceleration of any Note under paragraph 7A of this Agreement.

The period during which Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement is herein called the “Issuance Period”.

2B(3). Request for Purchase. The Company may from time to time during the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Shelf Notes (each such request being herein called a “Request for Purchase”). Each Request for Purchase shall be made to Prudential by telecopy or overnight delivery service, and shall:

(i) specify the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes covered thereby, which shall not be less than $5,000,000 and not be greater than the Available Facility Amount at the time such Request for Purchase is made,

(ii) specify the principal amounts, final maturities (which shall be no more than ten years from the date of issuance), principal prepayment dates and amounts and interest payment periods (quarterly or semi-annual in arrears) of the Shelf Notes covered thereby,

(iii) specify the use of proceeds of such Shelf Notes,

(iv) specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Shelf Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than 10 days and not more than 25 days after the making of such Request for Purchase (the “Closing Day”),

(v) specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository institution to which the purchase prices of such Shelf Notes are to be transferred on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale,

(vi) certify that the representations and warranties contained in paragraph 8 are true on and as of the date of such Request for Purchase and that there exists on the date of such Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default,

(vii) specify the Designated Spread for such Shelf Notes, and

(viii) be substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached to the Original Agreement. Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing and shall be deemed made when received by Prudential.

2B(4). Rate Quotes. Not later than five Business Days after the Company shall have given Prudential a Request for Purchase pursuant to paragraph 2B(3), Prudential may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to the Company by telephone or telecopier, in each case between 9:30 A.M. and 1:30 P.M. New York City local time (or such later time as Prudential may elect) interest rate quotes for the several principal amounts, maturities, principal prepayment schedules, and interest payment periods of Shelf Notes specified in such Request for Purchase. Each quote shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which Prudential or a Prudential Affiliate would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof.

2B(5). Acceptance. Within 30 minutes after Prudential shall have provided any interest rate quotes pursuant to paragraph 2B(4) or such shorter period as Prudential may specify to the Company (such period herein called the “Acceptance Window”), the Company may, subject to paragraph 2B(6), elect to accept such interest rate quotes as to not less than $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase. Such election shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Company notifying Prudential by telephone or telecopier within the Acceptance Window (but not earlier than 9:30 a.m. or later than 2:00 p.m., New York City local time) that the Company elects to accept such interest rate quotes, specifying the Shelf Notes (each such Shelf Note being herein called an “Accepted Note”) as to which such acceptance (herein called a “Acceptance”) relates. The day the Company notifies Prudential of an Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is herein called the “Acceptance Day” for such Accepted Notes. Any interest rate quotes as to which Prudential does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. Subject to paragraph 2B(6) and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to Prudential or a Prudential Affiliate, and Prudential agrees to purchase, or to cause the purchase by a Prudential Affiliate of, the Accepted Notes at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Company, Prudential and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached to the Original Agreement (herein called a “Confirmation of Acceptance”). If the Company should fail to execute and return to Prudential within three Business Days following receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes, Prudential may at its election at any time prior to its receipt thereof cancel the closing with respect to such Accepted Notes by so notifying the Company in writing.

2B(6). Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2B(5), if Prudential shall have provided interest rate quotes pursuant to paragraph 2B(4) and thereafter prior to the time an Acceptance with respect to such quotes shall have been notified to Prudential in accordance with paragraph 2B(5) the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives, then such interest rate quotes shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. If the Company thereafter notifies Prudential of the Acceptance of any such interest rate quotes, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and Prudential shall promptly notify the Company that the provisions of this paragraph 2B(6) are applicable with respect to such Acceptance.

2B(7). Facility Closings. Not later than 11:30 A.M. (New York City local time) on the Closing Day for any Accepted Notes, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto, and at the place specified in the applicable Purchaser Schedule for such Series of Notes, the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Notes to be purchased on the Closing Day, dated the Closing Day and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against payment of the purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the Company’s account specified in the Request for Purchase of such Notes. If the Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted Notes as provided above in this paragraph 2B(7), or any of the conditions specified in paragraph 3 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled

Closing Day, the Company shall, prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day notify Prudential (which notification shall be deemed received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than one Business Day and not more than 10 Business Days after such scheduled Closing Day (the “Rescheduled Closing Day”) and certify to Prudential (which certification shall be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the conditions set forth in paragraph 3 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee in accordance with paragraph 2B(8)(iii) or (ii) such closing is to be canceled. In the event that the Company shall fail to give such notice referred to in the preceding sentence, Prudential (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after 1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company in writing that such closing is to be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement, the Company may elect to reschedule a closing with respect to any given Accepted Notes on not more than one occasion, unless Prudential shall have otherwise consented in writing.

2B(8). Fees.

2B(8)(i). Intentionally Omitted.

2B(8)(ii). Issuance Fee. The Company will pay to Prudential in immediately available funds a fee (herein called the “Issuance Fee”) on each Closing Day (other than the Series AA Closing Day) in an amount equal to 0.125% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold on such Closing Day.

2B(8)(iii). Delayed Delivery Fee. If the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note, the Company will pay to Prudential (a) on the Cancellation Date or actual closing date of such purchase and sale and (b) if earlier, the next Business Day following 90 days after the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note and on each Business Day following 90 days after the prior payment hereunder, a fee (herein called the “Delayed Delivery Fee”) calculated as follows:

(BEY - MMY) X DTS/360 X PA

where “BEY” means Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per annum of such Accepted Note, “MMY” means Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield per annum on a commercial paper investment of the highest quality selected by Prudential on the date Prudential receives notice of the delay in the closing for such Accepted Note having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled Closing Day or Rescheduled Closing Days (a new alternative investment being selected by Prudential each time such closing is delayed); “DTS” means Days to Settlement, i.e., the number of actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day with respect to such Accepted Note (in the case of the first such payment with respect to such Accepted Note) or from and including the date of the next preceding payment (in the case of any subsequent delayed delivery fee payment with respect to such Accepted Note) to but excluding the date of such payment; and “PA” means Principal Amount, i.e., the principal amount of the Accepted Note for which such calculation is being made. In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Accepted Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with paragraph 2B(7).

2B(8)(iv). Cancellation Fee. If the Company at any time notifies Prudential in writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note, or if Prudential notifies the Company in writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of paragraph 2B(5) or the penultimate sentence of paragraph 2B(7) that the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or if the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not consummated on or prior to the last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any such notification, or the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being herein called the “Cancellation Date”), the Company will pay the Purchasers in immediately available funds an amount (the “Cancellation Fee”) calculated as follows:

PI X PA

where “PI” means Price Increase, i.e., the quotient (expressed in decimals) obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the ask price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Notes(s) on the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note by (b) such bid price; and “PA” has the meaning ascribed to it in paragraph 2B(8)(iii). The foregoing bid and ask prices shall be as reported by Telerate Systems, Inc. (or, if such data for any reason ceases to be available through Telerate Systems, Inc., any publicly available source of similar market data). Each price shall be based on a U.S. Treasury security having a par value of $100.00 and shall be rounded to the second decimal place. In no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero.

2C. Increase in Interest Rate. The per annum stated interest rate on the outstanding Series AA Notes shall automatically be increased to 8.23% per annum, and the per annum stated interest rate on the outstanding 2001 Notes shall automatically be increased to 8.44% per annum, in each case commencing on January 1, 2010.

3. CONDITIONS OF EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall not become effective until each of the following conditions is satisfied on the Agreement Effective Date:

3A. Execution and Delivery of Documents. The Purchasers shall have received the following, each of which shall be originals, or telecopies or other electronically transmitted copies as agreed to by the Purchasers (in each case followed promptly by originals), and unless otherwise specified, each properly executed by a Responsible Officer of the signing Credit Party and dated the Agreement Effective Date (or, in the case of certificates of governmental officials, a recent date before the Agreement Effective Date) and each in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchasers:

(vii) favorable opinions of counsel to the Credit Parties, addressed to the Purchasers, addressing such matters concerning the Credit Parties and the Note Documents as the Purchasers may reasonably request, including without limitation the enforceability of the Note Documents, and the creation and perfection of Liens contemplated by this Agreement.
