                                TENTH AMENDMENT


     TENTH AMENDMENT, dated as of December 29, 2000, to the Increasing Rate
Senior Subordinated Debentures due January 3, 1996 of Consolidated Furniture
Corporation (formerly known as Mohasco Corporation) (the "Borrower") issued in
the original principal amount of $80,000,000 to Court Square Capital Limited
(formerly known as Citicorp Capital Investors Ltd.) (the "Lender") dated as of
September 22, 1989, as amended (the "Security") and the indenture attached as
Exhibit A thereto (the "Indenture"). Capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the same meaning as ascribed to such terms in the Security
and the Indenture.

                                   Background

     Pursuant to the terms of the Security and Section 9.2 of the Indenture, the
Borrower and the trustee under the Indenture may effect amendments to the
Security and the Indenture with the consent of all Securityholders. Pursuant to
the terms of the Security and Section 11.16 of the Indenture, if a trustee has
not been appointed under the Indenture, the Borrower, with the consent of all
Securityholders, may effect such amendments without the consent of a trustee.
The Lender is the sole Securityholder and no trustee has been appointed under
the Indenture. The parties have agreed to amend the Security and the Indenture
to extend the maturity date of the Security from January 2, 2001 to January 2,
2002.

                                     Terms

     In consideration of the foregoing premises and the agreements and covenants
contained herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

     Section 1.   Amendments.

           1.1    The Security shall be amended as set forth in Endorsement No.
                  9 thereto, which Endorsement shall be in the form of Annex A
                  hereto. The Lender is hereby authorized to attach to its
                  Security such Endorsement No. 9 executed by a duly authorized
                  officer of the Borrower, and to insert on the face of its
                  Security the following legend:

           "THIS SECURITY SHALL BE DEEMED TO INCLUDE ENDORSEMENT NO. 9 DATED AS
           OF DECEMBER 29, 2000 WHICH IS ATTACHED HERETO."

           1.2    The Indenture is hereby amended as follows:

<PAGE>   2
                  (a)  The date "January 2, 2001" is deleted from the fourth
                       line of the cover page of the Indenture and the date
                       "January 2, 2002" is inserted in lieu thereof.

                  (b)  The date "January 2, 2001" is deleted from the second
                       paragraph on page 1 of the Indenture and the date
                       "January 2, 2002" is inserted in lieu thereof.

                  (c)  The date "January 2, 2001" is deleted from the definition
                       of "Securities" in Section 1.1 of the Indenture and the
                       date "January 2, 2002" is inserted in lieu thereof.

     Section 2.   Conditions to Effectiveness.  This Tenth Amendment shall
                  become effective when the Endorsement No. 9 in the form of
                  Annex A hereto is executed on behalf of the parties hereto and
                  delivered to the Lender.

     Section 3.   Effect of Amendment on Security and Indenture.

           3.1    Except as specifically amended above, the Security and the
                  Indenture shall remain in full force and effect and hereby are
                  ratified and confirmed. As used in the Security and the
                  Indenture, the terms "Security" or "Indenture", "this
                  Security" or "this Indenture", "herein", "hereinafter",
                  "hereunder", "hereto", and words of similar import shall,
                  unless the context requires otherwise, mean the Security and
                  the Indenture as amended by this Tenth Amendment.

           3.2    The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Tenth
                  Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein,
                  operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the
                  Lender under the Security or the Indenture.

     Section 4.   Execution and Counterparts. This Tenth Amendment may be
                  executed in any number of counterparts and by different
                  parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
                  executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and
                  all of which together shall constitute one and the same
                  instrument.

     Section 5.   Governing Law. This Tenth Amendment shall be governed by the
                  laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts to be
                  performed wholly in the State of New York, without regard to
                  the conflicts of laws rules thereof.

     Section 6.   Headings.  Section headings in this Tenth Amendment are
                  included herein for convenience of reference only and shall
                  not constitute a part of this Tenth Amendment for any other
                  purpose.
