THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this "Amendment"), is made and entered into as of March 31, 2016, by and among HAVERTY FURNITURE COMPANIES, INC., a Maryland corporation ("HFC"), HAVERTYS CREDIT SERVICES, INC., a Tennessee corporation  ("HCS" and, together with HFC, each, a "Borrower" and, collectively, the "Borrowers"), the financial institutions party hereto as lenders (the "Lend-ers"), and SUNTRUST BANK, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders (the "Administrative Agent") and as issuing bank (the "Issuing Bank").

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to a certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2011  (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement), pursuant to which the Lenders have made certain financial accommodations available to the Borrowers;

WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders are willing to do so;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of all of which are acknowledged, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:

	
1.

	
Amendments.

a.            Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended by deleting the definitions of  "Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments", "Applicable Margin", "Borrowing Base", "Cash Equivalents", "Change in Control", "Exception Conditions", and "Maturity Date" in their entirety and inserting the following definitions in lieu thereof:

"Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments" shall mean, as of any particular time, the aggregate committed principal amount of all Revolving Loan Commitments at such time, including any increase in Revolving Loan Commitments made pursuant to Section 2.17(a) hereof. On the First Amendment Date, the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments are $60,000,000.

"Applicable Margin" shall mean, with respect to each Advance and issuance of Letters of Credit, a per annum rate of interest as set forth in the pricing grid below (the "Pricing Grid") determined by the Administrative Agent by reference to the applicable Average Availability for the fiscal month most recently ended, effective as of the second Business Day after the Borrowing Base Certificate required pursuant to Section 7.5(a) is delivered by the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent for such fiscal month most recently ended:

	
Level

	
Average Availability

	
Applicable Margin

	
I

	
Less than $30,000,000

	
1.50%

	
II

	
Greater than or equal to $30,000,000

	
1.25%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Margin from the First Amendment Date through (and including) the date two (2) Business Days after the delivery of the Borrowing Base Certificate required pursuant to Section 7.5(a) for the fiscal month ending on March 31, 2016 shall be at Level II as set forth in the Pricing Grid.

In the event that the Administrative Borrower fails to timely provide any Borrowing Base Certificate in accordance with the terms of Section 7.5(a), and without prejudice to any additional rights under Section 9.2, as of the second Business Day after delivery of such Borrowing Base Certificate was due until the date two (2) Business Days following the date such Borrowing Base Certificate was delivered, the Applicable Margin shall be at Level I as set forth in the Pricing Grid.

In the event that the information contained in any Borrowing Base Certificate is shown to be inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin based upon the Pricing Grid (the "Accurate Applicable Margin") for any period that such Borrowing Base Certificate covered (an "Applicable Period") than the Applicable Margin actually applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Administrative Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Borrowing Base Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be adjusted such that after giving effect to the corrected Borrowing Base Certificate the Applicable Margin shall be reset to the Accurate Applicable Margin based upon the Pricing Grid for such period and (iii) the Borrowers shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent full payment in respect of the accrued additional interest on the Advances and Letters of Credit as a result of such Accurate Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.11.

Nothing contained in this definition shall limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders to exercise their rights under Section 2.3(b) or Section 9.2.

"Borrowing Base" shall mean, at any particular time, the sum of:

(a)            90% of the NOLV of Eligible Inventory, plus

Terms and Conditions

1.    Bookkeeping Account.  The Company will record the number of Deferred Stock Units granted to you under this Agreement to a bookkeeping account for you (the “Deferred Stock Unit Account”).  Your Deferred Stock Unit Account will be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock transferred to you in accordance with Section 3.  Your Deferred Stock Unit Account also will be adjusted from time to time for any stock dividends, stock splits and other such transactions in accordance with Section 5.  The Deferred Stock Unit Account represents an unsecured promise by the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock in the future.  Your rights to your Deferred Stock Unit Account will be no greater than that of other general, unsecured creditor of the Company

2.    Vesting; Transferability Restriction.  Your Deferred Stock Units are fully vested at all times.

Your Deferred Stock Units are not transferable by you.  Except as may be required by federal income tax withholding provisions or by the tax laws of any state, your interests (and the interests of your beneficiaries, if any) under this Agreement are not subject to the claims of your creditors and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily sold, transferred, alienated, assigned, pledged, anticipated, or encumbered.  Any attempt to sell, transfer, alienate, assign, pledge, anticipate, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any right to benefits payable hereunder shall be void.

3.    Distribution of Shares of Common Stock.  Promptly after the date(s) you specified in a written distribution election filed with the Company on or before December 31, 2015, shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Deferred Stock Units reflected in your Deferred Stock Unit Account, shall be distributed to you in accordance with your election.  If you did not file such an election, distribution will be made promptly following your termination of 

service on the Company’s Board of Directors.  Distributions shall be made in shares of Common Stock, with fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share.

4.    Death Beneficiary Designation.  You may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (contin-gently, consecutively or successively) to receive shares of Common Stock, if you die while Deferred Stock Units are held in your Deferred Stock Unit Account, and, upon your death, the Company will transfer shares of Common Stock equal in number to the Deferred Stock Units, if any, reflected in your Deferred Stock Unit Account to your beneficiary(ies).

You may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries from time to time, and you may change your designated beneficiary(ies).  A beneficiary may be a trust.  A beneficiary designation must be made in writing in a form prescribed by the Company and delivered to the Company while you are alive.  If you do not have a designated beneficiary surviving at the time of your death, any transfer of shares of Common Stock will be made to your surviving spouse, if any, and if you do not have a surviving spouse, then to your estate.

5.    Cash Dividend Equivalents; Adjustments.  If the Company pays a cash dividend on its Common Stock, then, as soon as practical after such cash dividend is paid, the Company will pay you an amount in cash equal to the amount per share of such cash dividend multiplied by the number of Deferred Stock Units credited to your Deferred Stock Unit Account as of the record date of such cash dividend.

If there is any change in the Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, combinations or exchanges of shares or the like, the number of Deferred Stock Units credited to your Deferred Stock Unit Account shall be adjusted appropriately so that the number of Deferred Stock Units reflected in your Deferred Stock Unit Account after such an event shall equal the number of shares of Common Stock a stockholder would own after such an event if the stockholder, at the time such an event occurred, had owned shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Deferred Stock Units reflected in your Deferred Stock Unit Account immediately before such an event.

6.    No Stockholder Rights.  You will not have any stockholder rights, such as rights to vote or to receive dividends or other distributions, with respect to any Deferred Stock Units reflected in your Deferred Stock Unit Account.  You will have only the cash dividend equivalent and adjustment rights provided in this Agreement.

7.    Securities Laws.  Shares of Common Stock will not be transferred under this Agreement if such transfer would violate any federal or state securities law.  The Company may take any appropriate action to achieve compliance with those laws in connection with any transfer of Common Stock to you.

8.    No Right to Further Grants.  Deferred Stock Unit grants are within the discretion of the Plan Administrator, and no such grant entitles you to any further grants.

9.    Interpretations Binding.  Plan Administrator interpretations and determinations are binding and conclusive.

10.     Notices.  Notices to the Company or the Plan Administrator shall be sent to the Company’s Corporate Headquarters, Attn:  “General Counsel.”
