                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of October 27,
2005, by and among Goody's Family Clothing, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the
"Company"), GF Goods Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and GF Acquisition
Corp., a Tennessee corporation ("Acquisition Corp."). Capitalized terms used but
not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed thereto
in the Merger Agreement.

     WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, Acquisition Corp., Parent and the Company
are entering into an Acquisition Agreement and Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement");

     WHEREAS, the Company agrees to grant Acquisition Corp. an option to
purchase Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of this Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has
recommended the grant of such option and the Merger Agreement be approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company has
approved the grant of such option and the Merger Agreement prior to the
execution hereof.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
and agreements set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

     1. The Top-Up Option. The Company hereby grants to Acquisition Corp. an
irrevocable option (the "Top-Up Option") to purchase, subject to the terms
hereof, up to that number of shares of common stock, no par value per share
("Common Stock"), of the Company (the "Top-Up Option Shares") equal to the
lowest number of shares of Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares
of Common Stock owned by Acquisition Corp. at the time of such exercise, shall
constitute one share more than 90% of the shares of Common Stock on a
Fully-Diluted Basis (assuming the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares) at a
purchase price per Top-Up Option Share equal to the Offer Price; provided,
however, that the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable unless immediately
after such exercise Acquisition Corp. would own more than 90% of the shares of
Common Stock then outstanding and in no event shall Acquisition Corp. have the
right hereunder to purchase shares of Common Stock to the extent (but only to
the extent) that the exercise of Acquisition Corp.'s right to purchase shares of
Common Stock hereunder would violate the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq
National Market, Inc. The Company agrees to provide Acquisition Corp. with
information regarding the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available
for issuance on an ongoing basis.

     2. Exercise of Top-Up Option.

          (a) Acquisition Corp. may exercise the Top-Up Option, in whole or in
part, at any one time after the occurrence of a Top-Up Exercise Event (as
defined below) and prior to the occurrence of a Top-Up Termination Event (as
defined below).


                                        1
<PAGE>
          (b) A "Top-Up Exercise Event" shall occur for purposes of this
Agreement upon Acquisition Corp.'s payment for shares of Common Stock
constituting at least 80% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding but
less than 90% of the shares of Common Stock on a Fully-Diluted Basis.

          (c) Each of the following shall be a "Top-Up Termination Event":

               (i) the Effective Time;

               (ii) the date which is thirty-five days after the occurrence of
          the Top-Up Exercise Event (or such later date on which the closing of
          a purchase may be consummated, as set forth in Section 3(a) below);
          and

               (iii) the termination of the Merger Agreement.

     3. Closing.

          (a) In the event Acquisition Corp. wishes to exercise the Top-Up
Option, Acquisition Corp. shall send to the Company a written notice (a "Top-Up
Exercise Notice," the date of which notice is referred to herein as the "Notice
Date") specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be acquired by
Acquisition Corp. pursuant to the Top-Up Option, the denominations of the
certificate or certificates evidencing the Top-Up Option Shares that Acquisition
Corp. wishes to receive, the place for the closing of the purchase and sale
pursuant to the Top-Up Option (the "Top-Up Closing") and a date not earlier than
one business day nor later than 10 business days after the Top-Up Notice Date
for the Top-Up Closing (the "Closing Date"); provided, however, that (i) if the
Top-Up Closing cannot be consummated by reason of any applicable law or order,
the period of time that otherwise would run pursuant to this sentence shall run
instead from the date on which such restriction on consummation has expired or
been terminated and (ii) without limiting the foregoing, if prior notification
to or approval of any governmental entity is required in connection with such
purchase, Acquisition Corp. and the Company shall promptly file the required
notice or application for approval and shall cooperate in the expeditious filing
of such notice or application, and the period of time that otherwise would run
pursuant to this sentence shall run instead from the date on which, as the case
may be, (A) any required notification period has expired or been terminated or
(B) any required approval has been obtained, and in either event, any requisite
waiting period has expired or been terminated. The Company shall, promptly after
receipt of the Top-Up Exercise Notice, deliver a written notice to Acquisition
Corp. confirming the number of Top-Up Option Shares and the aggregate purchase
price therefor.

          (b) At the closing referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 3,
Acquisition Corp. shall (i) pay to the Company the aggregate purchase price for
the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Top-Up
Option in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account
designated by the Company and (ii) present and surrender this Agreement to the
Company.

          (c) At such closing, simultaneously with the delivery of immediately
available funds as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 3, the Company
shall deliver to Acquisition

Corp. a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common
Stock purchased by Acquisition Corp.

          (d) Certificates evidencing the Common Stock to be delivered hereunder
may include legends legally required including the legend in substantially the
following form:

          THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
          REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE
          SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS, AND MAY BE REOFFERED OR SOLD ONLY IF SO
          REGISTERED OR IF AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
          SUCH SECURITIES ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON
          TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF
          OCTOBER 27, 2005, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE ISSUER UPON
          REQUEST.

     It is understood and agreed that (i) the reference to the resale
restrictions of the Securities Act and state securities or blue sky laws in the
foregoing legend shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificate(s)
without such reference if the Company or Acquisition Corp., as the case may be,
shall have delivered to the other an opinion of counsel, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the other, to the effect that such legend is not
required for purposes of the Securities Act or such laws; (ii) the reference to
the provisions of this Agreement in the foregoing legend shall be removed by
delivery of substitute certificate(s) without such reference if the shares have
been sold or transferred in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and
under circumstances that do not require the retention of such reference; and
(iii) the legend shall be removed in its entirety if the conditions in the
preceding clauses (i) and (ii) are both satisfied. In addition, such
certificates shall bear any other legend as may be required by law.

          (e) Upon the giving by Acquisition Corp. to the Company of the written
notice of exercise of the Top-Up Option provided for under subsection (a) of
this Section 3 and the tender of the applicable purchase price in immediately
available funds, Acquisition Corp. shall be deemed to be the holder of record of
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of
the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares
of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to Acquisition Corp. The
Company shall pay all expenses, and any and all United States federal, state and
local taxes and other charges that may be payable in connection with the
preparation, issue and delivery of stock certificates under this Section 3 in
the name of Acquisition Corp. or its assignee, transferee or designee.

     4. Covenants of the Company. In addition to its other agreements and
covenants herein, the Company agrees:

          (a) that it will not, by charter amendment or through reorganization,
consolidation, merger, dissolution or sale of assets, or by any other voluntary
act, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the
covenants, stipulations or conditions to be observed or performed hereunder by
the Company; and

          (b) promptly to take all action as may from time to time be required
(including complying with all applicable notification, filing reporting and
waiting period requirements under the HSR Act, making all other filings with,
and to obtain consents of, all third parties and regulatory and governmental
authorities necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, and cooperating fully with Acquisition Corp. in preparing any

Stock pursuant hereto.

     5. Representations and Warranties.

          or similar rights pertaining to any of the Company's securities
          outstanding or authorized on or before the Closing Date.

               (ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
          does not and will not, and the consummation by the Company of any of
          the transactions contemplated hereby will not, constitute or result in
          (i) a breach or violation of or a default under, its articles or
          certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or the comparable governing
          instruments of any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) a breach or violation
          of or a default under, any material agreement, lease, contract, note,
          mortgage, indenture, arrangement or other obligation of it or any of
          its subsidiaries (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of
          time or both) or under any material law, rule, ordinance or regulation
          or material judgment, decree, order, award or governmental or
          non-governmental permit or license to which it or any of its
          subsidiaries is subject.

          the approvals referred to in this Agreement, to consummate the
          transactions contemplated by this Agreement; the execution and
          delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
          contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
          corporate action on the part of Parent and Acquisition Corp.; and this
          Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and
          Acquisition Corp. and constitutes a valid and legally binding
          obligation of Parent and Acquisition Corp. enforceable in accordance
          with its terms.

               (ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
          does not and will not, and the consummation by Parent and Acquisition
          Corp. of any of the transactions contemplated hereby will not,

          under, their articles or certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or
          the comparable governing instruments of any of their respective
          subsidiaries, or (ii) a breach or violation of or a default under, any

its rights to another direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or
Acquisition Corp. without such prior written approval. Any purported assignment
without such consent shall be void.

     7. Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that damages would
be an inadequate remedy for a breach of this Agreement by any party hereto and

any party hereto through injunctive or other equitable relief.
