18.   A new Section 9.15.3 shall be added to the Loan Agreement which shall read
      as follows:

                  "9.15.3 Gross Margin.

                  At all times prior to the payment of all Obligations arising
                  in respect of the Supplemental Loan, the Borrowers shall not
                  suffer or permit their Gross Margin determined monthly at
                  month end on an average quarterly rolling basis (commencing
                  with the fiscal quarter period ending May 5, 2001, as reported
                  to Lender on or before May 18, 2001) to be more than a 1%
                  negative variance from the projected Gross Margin set forth in
                  the Projections.

19.   The Supplemental Loan, and all interest, fees, costs, expenses (including
      reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Participant), and other charges
      which arise from or in connection therewith or are in any way related
      thereto shall be deemed additional "Obligations" under the terms of the
      Financing Agreements and be secured by all of the Collateral.

20.   At any time prior to the Supplemental Loan Maturity Date, the Participant,
      at the expense of the Borrowers, may participate in and/or observe each
      physical count and/or inventory of so much of the Collateral as consists
      of Inventory which is undertaken by or on behalf of the Borrowers.

21.   The Borrowers, at their own expense, shall cause each location at which
      Inventory is located to have not less than one (1) physical inventory
      prior to the Supplemental Loan Maturity Date to be undertaken, consistent
      with current practice, (the scheduling of which shall be subject to the
      Participant's discretion), conducted by such inventory takers as are
      satisfactory to the Participant and following such methodology as may be
      satisfactory to the Participant. The Borrowers shall provide the
      Participant with a copy of the preliminary result of each such inventory
      (as well as any other physical inventory undertaken by the Borrowers)
      within ten (10) days after its completion. The Borrowers shall provide the
      Participant with a reconciliation of the results of each such inventory
      (as well as any other physical inventory undertaken by the Borrowers) to
      the Borrowers' books and records within thirty (30) days following the
      completion of such inventory. The Participant, in its discretion,
      following the occurrence of an Event of Default, may cause such additional
      inventories to be taken as the Participant determines (each at the expense
      of the Borrowers.

22.   The Participant may, in its discretion, conduct commercial finance audits
      (at the Borrower's expense) of the Borrower's books and records during the
      period in which the Supplemental Loan is outstanding.

23.   The Borrowers shall simultaneously deliver to the Participant copies of
      all financial statements, certificates, reports, notices and other
      documents (including without limitation collateral reports required by
      Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement) when the Borrowers deliver such
      financial statements, certificates, reports notices and other documents to
      the Lender. The Borrowers further agree that it shall afford the
      Participant access to its books, records, premises and the Collateral to
      the same extent and with such frequency as is afforded to the Lender
      pursuant to the Loan Agreement. In addition, the Borrowers shall promptly
      provide the Participant, upon request, such other and additional
      information concerning the Borrowers, the Collateral, the operation of the
      Borrowers' business, and the Borrowers' financial condition, including
      financial reports and statements, as the Participant may from time to time
      request from the Borrowers.

February 7, 2001

Mr. Leonard M. Snyder
6260 N. Desert Moon Loop
Tucson, Arizona 85750

      Re: Letter of Understanding Regarding Non-Executive Chairman Position

The purpose of this letter is to confirm our mutual understanding with respect
to your prospective reinstatement as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of
Directors of One Price Clothing Stores, Inc. ("Company") upon completion of your
interim appointment as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of One
Price Clothing Stores, Inc. ("Company").

Specifically, following the successful appointment of a permanent Chief
Executive Officer by the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Company, you agree
to resume your position as the Board's Non-Executive Chairman. In this respect,
the Board shall recommend to the shareholders your continued election to the
Board. Subject to such re-election by the shareholders, you shall be appointed
by the Board as its Non-Executive Chairman annually, for a period of three years
from the date of the end of your term as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. Upon reappointment as Non-Executive Chairman, you agree
to fulfill the duties outlined in our previous letter of understanding dated
April 16, 1998, as amended ("Letter of Understanding").

In the capacities of Non-Executive Chairman and member of the Board (and member
of such committees as you may be appointed to by the Board) you shall receive
compensation totaling $20,000 per month, with a bonus to be determined.

As you know, in addition to the 20,000 shares of Restricted Stock awarded you on
January 12, 2001, which vested on such date, you have also been awarded 30,000
shares of Restricted Stock subject to the following provisions:

At the later of:

      (i)   Your re-appointment as Non-Executive Chairman, or

      (ii)  January 2, 2002 (provided you are still a member of the Board), the
            risk of forfeiture relating to your grant of 30,000 shares of
            Restricted Stock, made to you on January 12, 2001 pursuant to the
            Director Stock Option Plan, will be extinguished.

In addition to such grants of Restricted Stock, in your capacity as
Non-Executive Chairman, you will be granted such stock options and/or additional
Restricted Stock as the Compensation Committee of the Board may deem appropriate
from time to time.

                                       47
<PAGE>

In the event that,

      (i)   You are not offered re-appointment as Non-Executive Chairman upon
            appointment of a permanent Chief Executive Officer;

      (ii)  You are terminated without "Cause" (as defined in your Letter of
            Understanding), while serving as Non-Executive Chairman, or

      (iii) A "Change of Control" (as defined in your Letter of Understanding),
            shall have occurred,

then such 30,000 shares of Restricted Stock, along with any options granted you
in your position as Non-Executive Chairman, shall vest immediately, and, in the
case of stock options, you shall have a period of ninety days in which to
exercise such options.

In the event you are removed by the Board from your position as Non-Executive
Chairman prior to the end of the agreed upon three-year term for a reason other
than "Cause" (as such term is defined in the Letter of Understanding), you shall
receive a lump sum payment of $250,000. Should you be relieved of your duties
while serving as Non-Executive Chairman following a "Change of Control" (also as
defined in such Letter of Understanding), then you shall be entitled to a lump
sum payment of $500,000.

You understand and agree that as Non-Executive Chairman you will not be an
employee of the Company and will not be entitled to benefits accorded an
employee of the Company.

Except to the extent inconsistent with the foregoing, all of the provisions of
your Letter of Understanding shall apply, including Articles VI ("Non-Compete")
and VII ("Representation & Warranty"), provided, however, that your commitment
to provide a minimum period of four months (120 days) notice prior to voluntary
termination shall be reduced to a period of three months (90 days).

If the foregoing meets with your approval, please acknowledge your agreement by
signing below.

Sincerely,

/s/ Laurie Shahon
