Re:          Extension of Initial Term of Employment Agreement


 


Dear David:


 


In connection with the
closing of the acquisition contemplated in that certain Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of March 11, 2007, by and among Buck Holdings, L.P., a
Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Buck Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation
and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and the Dollar General Corporation (“Company”),
you and the Company executed an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”),
the terms of which became effective on July 6, 2007.  All capitalized terms not defined herein
shall have the meaning set forth in your Employment Agreement.


 


Pursuant
to the terms of your Employment Agreement, you currently serve as the Interim
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. 
The Employment Agreement provides that you will hold this position
during the Initial Term, which runs from the Effective Date of the Employment
Agreement through December 31, 2007. 
Pursuant to Section 3 of your Employment Agreement, the Company
seeks to extend the Initial Term for a period of
one calendar month following the end of the current Initial Term (the “Initial Term Extension”, as used in the Employment
Agreement).  The Company further proposes
that this Initial Term Extension will
automatically renew for an additional one calendar-month period beginning immediately
following the last day of this first Initial Term Extension and each one
calendar-month period thereafter, unless you or the Company provide the other
party with written notice of non-renewal at least five (5) business days
prior to the end of the applicable Initial Term Extension.  The Company agrees that its written notice of
non-renewal (without any extension otherwise contemplated under the Employment
Agreement) will constitute a failure to offer to renew, extend or replace the
Employment Agreement for purposes of Section 12(a)(iii) of the
Employment Agreement.


 


If you choose to agree to
the Company’s proposal to extend the Initial Term as provided above, please
sign where indicated below and return this letter agreement to me before December 31,
2007. By signing below, you and the Company agree that the Employment Agreement
is deemed amended to incorporate the terms of this letter agreement solely to
the extent of the subject matter contained herein, but shall in all other
respects remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.


 

















 


In the event of any dispute
over the terms of this letter agreement, Section 22(h) of the
Employment Agreement shall govern.  This
letter agreement may be executed in counterparts.
