CERTAIN AMENDMENT DATED JUNE 28, 1996, BETWEEN CROWN CRAFTS, INC.

You have notified Wachovia, as was reported in the Company press release dated
11/21/96, that Crown Crafts will incur a pre-tax charge of approximately $1.9
million to $2.5 million because of the recall of furniture made by the
Company's subsidiary, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Furniture, Inc.
Wachovia hereby agrees to exclude the aforementioned charge for the third
fiscal quarter and any subsequent fiscal quarter through, but not beyond, the
1998 third fiscal quarter to the extent such charge is not taken during the
1997 third fiscal quarter; provided however, that the aforementioned charge
shall not exceed $3.0 million on a cumulative basis. In addition, the
aforementioned charge will be excluded only for purposes of making the covenant
calculations for the periods referenced above, as required under Sections 7.2
and 7.4 of the Credit Agreement. With respect to Section 7.4 of the Credit
Agreement, exclusion of this charge will be made only to the extent it affects
the calculation of Consolidated Cash Flow in the quarter thereof. The
exclusion of this charge shall also apply to any calculation based on any
rolling four quarter period, which includes the the period referenced above
under Sections 7.2 or 7.4, to the extent applicable. This Letter Agreement
shall not in any way be deemed a waiver or amendment of, or establish a
course of dealing in connection with, the Credit Agreement.
Except as expressly set forth herein, this letter shall not by implication or
otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights
and remedies of Wachovia under the Credit Agreement or any related document or
agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, all of the terms, conditions,
obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement and any
related document are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue
in full force and effect.
