Majority Term Lenders may not exercise any of such rights until all
Postpetition Obligations owing to the Revolving Lenders have been

occurred and be continuing, the Agent or the Majority Term Lenders may
direct, no earlier than fifteen days prior to the day that any of the
events set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) below could occur, the
Borrowers how and when to exercise all rights of the Borrowers under
section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (and the Borrowers shall fully comply
with such direction(s)) with respect to any lease or executory contract
that (i) may be rejected or deemed to be rejected under section 365 of

SCHEDULE B - PART 6.18
1. Relative to the Washington Business and Occupation Tax audit for the
period January 1992 through June 1996, additional tax estimated at
$10,620 is due on petitioned issues for which partial relief was
granted. Thus audit is closed for all other purposes. The State of
Washington has sent bills for the remainder of the tax, but the amounts
computed were inconsistent with the settlement terms. As of September 4,
1998, the Borrowers are waiting for another revised billing statement.
2. The State of Connecticut delivered audit workpapers that propose
additional sales and use tax of approximately $25,400. The Borrowers are
seeking adjustments that could reduce the additional tax to
approximately $22,000. A portion of this additional tax (approximately
$3,000-$5,000) is attributable to construction contractors who were not
registered for sales/use tax with the State. Xxxxxx anticipates billing
the contractors for their share of the additional tax.
3. The cities of Denver and New Orleans are currently auditing Xxxxxx for
sales and/or use tax. Of the two, the Denver audit is further progressed
and an assessment is expected shortly; the amount thereof is currently
unknown. New Orleans, which is auditing the Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx store for
sales into New Orleans, is still trying to decide on sample periods for
the audit. Both of these audits are correspondence audits (being handled
through the mail).
4. A sales/use tax audit by the State of California is scheduled to begin
September 21, 1998. The audit will cover the period April 1995 through
June 1998. No other audits are scheduled at this time.
5. Attached is a schedule prepared on September 3, 1998 concerning open tax
years.
6. There are tax sharing agreements between Xxxxxx Furniture Incorporated
and Xxxxxx Furniture Corporation and among Xxxxxx Furniture Corporation
and the remaining Borrower subsidiaries.
