			INTRODUCTION
		

		
			On the Move...
		

		
			This handbook has been designed to help you understand Dollar General’s relocation program and to assist you and your family in relocating as quickly as possible with minimal inconvenience.  You are encouraged to carefully read this handbook in its entirety.  Recognizing that relocating can be a disruptive process, the Company and GMS will assist you and your family throughout your move.
		

		
			Eligibility
		

		
			The relocation program was developed to facilitate the movement of active, full-time newly-hired and current, salaried, executive-level employees or senior officers who are requested to relocate by the Company and designated by the Company to receive the benefits described in this handbook.
		

		
			In order to be eligible for relocation as described in this handbook, your relocation must meet the IRS 50‐mile distance test.  The distance between your former residence and your new job site must be at least 50 miles greater than the distance between your former residence and your former job site.
		

		
			Family
		

		
			Your family members eligible for assistance under this policy include your spouse and your dependent household members.  In the event an additional member of your household is asked to relocate by the Company, you are eligible to receive only one set of benefits.
		

		
			Time Limit
		

		
			You are eligible for the benefits extended in this handbook for up to 12 months following your effective date of transfer. All expense reports related to your relocation are required to be submitted within 90 days of the date incurred within this 12‐month period.
		

		
			Disclaimer
		

		
			The Company has the sole right at any time to revise, amend or discontinue this policy.  This policy shall not be considered or construed as an employment contract and does not constitute a guarantee of employment for any minimum or specified period of time.
		

		
			Policy Exceptions
		

		
			If you feel an exception is needed, please submit your request in writing to your GMS dedicated Relocation Coach.  They will review and forward your request to the Relocation Department at Dollar General for consideration.  Upon initial receipt, the Relocation Department will present a recommendation along with facts to the appropriate senior level officer for final approval by the Board’s Compensation Committee.  Your dedicated Relocation Coach will communicate the decision to you.

			Overview
		

		
			Marketing Your Home
		

			
					
						

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						

					
					
						The home sale process will begin with the appraisal and listing your home. Your dedicated Relocation Coach will help you select a qualified real estate agent and together they will determine selling strategies targeted to help you receive the best possible offer for your home. The advantage to successfully marketing your home and selling to an outside buyer is that you may receive a greater cash return than the Appraised Value Offer.

				

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

				
	
					
						You are required to speak with your dedicated Relocation Coach prior to taking any steps to list or market your home. You are required to market your home for a minimum of 90 days from the date your home is listed with an approved real estate agent.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Appraised Value Offer
		

		
			Two independent appraisers will appraise your home to determine the Appraised Value Offer.  Your relocation coach will provide a list of ERC endorsed appraisers in your area

			to choose from.  This offer will be your “safety net” providing you with a guaranteed price, should your home not sell on the open market.  Your Appraised Value Offer will be available to you for 90 days.
		

		
			Amended Value Sale
		

		
			If you receive a qualified offer on your home from an outside buyer you have an opportunity to “amend” the Appraised Value Offer from GMS to reflect your buyer’s offer.
		

		
			Marketing Assistance
		

		
			As soon as the Company authorizes your relocation, your dedicated Relocation Coach will contact you to explain the first step—the listing, marketing and appraisal of your home.  Placing your home on the market as advantageously as possible is a critical element in successfully marketing your home.  Throughout the home sale process, your dedicated Relocation Coach will continuously track your agent’s efforts to market your home.  The goal of these efforts is to help you obtain the best offer for your home within a reasonable time frame.
		

		
			Your dedicated Relocation Coach’s objectives are to:
		

			
					
						

					
					
						

					
					
						help you identify a qualified and active broker to assist you in marketing and listing your home in a highly effective manner;

				
	
					
						

					
					
						work with your real estate agent to develop a strategic marketing plan to sell your home at the best possible market value;

				
	
					
						

					
					
						in conjunction with your real estate agent, suggest any minor repairs and/or improvements that will increase the marketability of your home; and

				
	
					
						

					
					
						work with you throughout the process of you selling your home.

				

		
			How the Marketing Process Works...
		

		
			The following is a step-by-step process of marketing assistance services provided by your dedicated Relocation Coach.
		

		
			Agent Selection
		

		
			Your dedicated Relocation Coach will place a referral with two (2) area real estate agents who will visit your home and prepare a complete Employee Relocation Council (ERC) Market Analysis.  If you would like to designate a particular real estate agent that has not been recommended, please notify your dedicated Relocation Coach.  As long as the real estate agent agrees to the program’s requirements, he or she will be able to work with you as one of your two selected agents.  You may not utilize or ask to have qualified any real estate agent that is a family member; i.e., spouse, child, mother, father, brother, sister or in-laws.  If you have no preference or are not familiar with local brokers, your dedicated Relocation Coach will assist you in the selection.
		

		
			Listing Your Home
		

		
			Your dedicated Relocation Coach will ask you to select one real estate agent from the two you have interviewed.  He or she will then work with you and your selected agent to develop a marketing strategy and establish a list price that is both attractive and realistic in the local market.

						You are required to list your home within 110% Appraised Value.  You are required to list your home for a minimum of 90 days from the initial list date before you are eligible to accept the Appraised Value Offer.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Listing Exclusion Clause
		

		
			When you speak with your dedicated Relocation Coach, he or she will discuss the necessity of including the following language in the listing agreement with your broker. The reason for this clause is to allow for cancellation of the listing agreement if necessary for GMS to close with the buyer.  This clause is considered “standard operating procedure” among agents who work with corporate transferees.  The following Exclusion Clause should be attached as an addendum to the Listing Agreement.
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						    

					
					
						“In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Addendum and the Listing Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall control.

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						    

					
					
						It is understood and agreed that regardless of whether or not an offer is presented by a ready, willing and able buyer:

					
					
						    

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						1.    No commission or compensation shall be earned by, or be due and payable to, broker until the sale of the property has been consummated between seller and buyer, the deed delivered to the buyer and the purchase price delivered to the seller; and

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						2.    The seller reserves the right to sell the property to GMS or to: ____________ (individually and collectively a “Named Prospective Purchaser”) at any time. Upon the execution by a Named Prospective Purchaser and me (us) of an Agreement of Sale with respect to the property, this listing agreement shall immediately terminate without obligation of my (our) part or on the part of any Named Prospective Purchaser to either pay a commission or to continue this listing.”

			Negotiating a Sale
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						

					
					
						When you have an interested buyer and receive an offer, your dedicated Relocation Coach will be a valuable resource as you negotiate a price and an Offer Letter.  You must submit ALL offers received to your dedicated Relocation Coach for review and consideration. DO NOT SIGN a contract (or any other document) with the buyers or take any money as a deposit from the real estate agent or prospective buyer.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Finalizing a Sale
		

		
			Your dedicated Relocation Coach will handle the details of the real estate transaction once the terms of the sales agreement have been finalized.
		

		
			APPRAISED VALUE OFFER
		

		
			Your decision to relocate should not be hampered by concerns about selling your home.  GMS will assist you by making an offer to purchase your home at a value established by independent fee appraisers.  The appraisal process will begin immediately after entering the relocation program.
		

		
			Appraiser Selection
		

		
			Once you have notified your dedicated Relocation Coach of your choice of appraisers, your dedicated Relocation Coach will notify the approved appraisers to contact you in order schedule a convenient time to survey your home.
		

		
			Relocation Appraisal
		

		
			A relocation appraisal is an estimate of the anticipated sales price of your home over a reasonable selling period.  Relocation Appraisers estimate value primarily by comparing your home to the sales of similar properties making detailed adjustments for the differences between those properties and your home.  The appraisers consider location, size, age, condition, and marketability.
		

		
			When the appraisers arrive to inspect your home, you should be prepared to discuss any facts that may be important in determining the value of your home:

			any improvements you have made to the home that may or may not be visible to the appraisers; and

			any information on similar homes that have recently sold in your area.

		
			Your home will be appraised in “as is” condition, so it is important your home shows favorably to maximize the appraised value and resale efforts. Your dedicated Relocation Coach and your real estate agent will assist in suggesting specific fix-up items to help maximize your marketing efforts.
		

		
			The appraisers may also ask for a copy of the land survey and a copy of the title policy that you received when you closed on your home.  They will need these items to obtain the correct legal description.

			Determining the Appraised Value Offer
		

		
			Your Appraised Value Offer will be equal to the average of two independent relocation appraisals.  However, if the variance between the two appraisals is greater than 5% of the higher amount, a third relocation appraisal will be ordered.  In this case, your offer will be determined by averaging the two closest appraisals. Normal and customary home inspections will be ordered at the time of the appraisals.
		

		
			Your dedicated Relocation Coach will present you with your Appraised Value Offer once the inspection and appraisal reports have been received and reviewed.  Your home will have to pass all inspections and/or you must satisfactorily remedy any deficiencies before your offer is finalized.  The entire process should be completed within 30 days from the date of the last inspection.
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						

					
					
						You are required to list your home at no more than 110% of the Appraised Value Offer.  This may require you to make an adjustment to your most current list price. 

				

		
			 
		

		
			Title Search
		

		
			In addition to arranging for the appraisals and inspections, a title search will be initiated in order to prepare for closing.  You may need to be involved in clearing any title issues should they appear on the title report.  Please inform your real estate agent that GMS is bringing the title up-to-date.  This can avoid a duplicate title search.  Often an agent will arrange for a title search upon notification from a lender of a buyer’s loan approval.
		

		
			Offer Period
		

		
			Your dedicated Relocation Coach will call you with your Appraised Value Offer and outline the timing and process of the home sale program. The Appraised Value Offer has a 90‐day acceptance period—90 days to continue marketing your home knowing you have a set “safety net”.  Your 90‐day acceptance period begins the day your Offer Letter is postmarked.  You may accept the appraised value offer at any time after marketing your home for 90 days.

						You are required to market your home for 90 days from the list date before you are able to accept the Appraised Value Offer.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Accepting the Appraised Value Offer
		

		
			If you are unable to sell your home during the 90‐day offer period and accept the Appraised Value Offer, you and your spouse should sign the GMS Offer Letter and return both copies to your dedicated Relocation Coach along with the other supporting documents.  Your execution of the Offer Letter is a legal transaction.  You will need to sign and notarize the Offer Letter and other related documents.
		

		
			The signed GMS Offer Letter and related documents must be received by your dedicated Relocation Coach on or prior to the expiration date of your offer.  The contract will be dated on the day all necessary documents are completed and signed by you and your dedicated Relocation Coach.
		

		
			Vacating the Home
		

		
			You have 60 days from the date you sign the GMS Offer Letter in which to vacate the property provided a resale closing does not occur sooner.  If you cannot move within 60 days, please let your dedicated Relocation Coach know and you may be granted additional time to vacate, if circumstances warrant.
		

		
			After you and GMS have signed the Offer Letter, you will continue to be responsible for the costs of maintenance, repairs, utilities, insurance, etc., until you actually vacate.  Prior to vacating, you will be expected to cooperate fully with all attempts by GMS to market the home by allowing prospective purchasers to view the premises by appointment during reasonable hours.
		

		
			From the date you vacate, GMS will make all future mortgage, tax, and other carrying payments on your home.  It will also assume payment of maintenance and utility costs.  Your equity statement will reflect mortgage interest through your executed GMS contract or vacate date, whichever comes last.
		

		
			Utilities
		

		
			Since sudden cold weather can cause damage due to freezing, do not turn off any utilities when you vacate the home.  The utilities must be left in your name until you contract with GMS or vacate the home, whichever is later.  At that time, you should request final readings from the utility companies serving your home.  Your dedicated Relocation Coach will instruct your real estate agent to transfer the utilities into the real estate company’s name until the home closes with new buyers. The day you vacate is customarily the date utilities are transferred to the real estate company.  If you receive a utility bill covering a period of time when payment was not your responsibility, please submit the invoice to your dedicated Relocation Coach for payment.
		

		
			Insurance
		

		
			You will need to cancel your homeowner’s insurance policy effective when GMS signs the Offer Letter or you vacate, whichever is later.  Any refund due to you from the

			insurance company will be paid directly to you.  Make note to discuss this with your insurance agent and follow-up if necessary.
		

			
					
						

					
					
						If you are vacating your home prior to contracting with GMS, contact your insurance agent to arrange coverage during any periods the home will be unoccupied.  Most homeowner’s insurance policies state coverage is void if the dwelling is unoccupied for a specific period of time.

				

		
			 
		

		
			AMENDED VALUE SALE
		

		
			Achieving an Amended Value Sale is of benefit to you and the Company.  The Company avoids the significant expense of purchasing, maintaining, and reselling your home through GMS and you receive the highest possible price for your home.
		

			
					
						 

				
	
					
						If at any time during your marketing period, you receive an offer through the efforts of your real estate agent, you must submit the offer to your dedicated Relocation Coach. DO NOT SIGN a contract (or any other document) with the buyers or take any money as a deposit from the real estate agent or prospective buyer.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Advantages of an Amended Value Sale
		

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			You may receive a greater cash net return than the Appraised Value Offer.

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			You will be relieved of the responsibilities of property ownership upon vacate or contract date with GMS, whichever is later.

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			You will be relieved of the necessity of closing with the buyer.

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			After contracting with GMS, you will be assured of receiving the net proceeds based upon the Amended Value Sale even if the original sale falls through and does not close.

		
			Analyzing the Offer
		

		
			Your dedicated Relocation Coach will review the terms of the offer in an effort to determine whether the offer is bona fide (made in good faith), and to confirm that it is not subject to the sale of the buyer’s property, does not contain any unusual or unreasonable terms, and is not subject to interim financing.
		

		
			Amending the Offer Letter
		

		
			Once the final offer has been approved, your dedicated Relocation Coach will ask you to “amend” the amount in your GMS Offer Letter to reflect the buyer’s offer and to sign and return the Offer Letter.
		

		
			Buyer’s Offer Less Than Appraised Value Offer
		

		
			At its discretion, the Company may also accept offers which are lower than your Appraised Value Offer.  You will remain eligible to receive your equity calculation based on the Appraised Value Offer.

			Closing an Amended Value Sale
		

		
			GMS will acquire your home, according to the terms of the amended GMS Offer Letter with you.  GMS will also fully honor the terms of the Purchase Agreement with the buyers.
		

		
			GMS will make every effort to close the transaction with the buyer.  However, since GMS has already purchased your home, you will not be impacted if the sale to the buyer is not eventually consummated.  Your equity payment will be based upon the Amended Value Sale Price.
		

		
			Responsibility for your property remains with you until you contract with GMS or vacate, whichever is later.  This includes maintenance of your home, payments for utilities, mortgage, taxes, and premiums for insurance.
		

		
			Equity
		

		
			Your equity is calculated as of the GMS contract date or your scheduled vacate date, whichever is later, and is based upon the Amended Value sale price or guaranteed offer price, whichever is greater.  You will need to coordinate the timing of your equity check with your dedicated Relocation Coach. You may be eligible to receive an equity advance once you have signed the GMS Offer Letter and when there is a specific need for funds to close on a new home in the destination area.
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						

					
					
						It is important to note that certain items are not covered under the policy and will be deducted from your final equity, if you have agreed to any of these additional seller’s expenses:

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						 

				

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			repairs and improvements requested by the buyer;

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			buyer’s closing costs;

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			homeowner warranties;

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			buyer’s incentives;

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			real estate commission above the standard rate for your area;

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			closing dates beyond 60 days of vacating or contracting with GMS.

		
			INDEPENDENT SALE
		

		
			If your home is considered ineligible for the Company’s Home Sale Assistance Program (Buyer Value Option or Amended Value Offer) or you elect to sell your home independently prior to initiation into GMS’ Home Sale Assistance Program, you may be eligible to receive direct reimbursement of normal and customary home sale closing costs and commission when you sell your home on your own. Contact your dedicated Relocation Coach to determine if your home qualifies for this home sale option.
		

			
					
						 

				
	
					
						If your home is eligible for GMS’ home sale assistance (Buyer Value Option or Amended Value Offer) and you sell your home on your own, the Company will not provide tax assistance for your home sale commission and closing cost expenses.

			Reimbursement of Expenses
		

		
			Normal and customary home sale closing costs and real estate commission at the prevailing rate in your current location (maximum of 6%) will be reimbursed if you sell your home independently within twelve (12) months of your effective date of transfer.
		

		
			Discount points incurred through negotiation with FHA, VA and conventional financing are not reimbursable.
		

		
			Tax Assistance
		

			
					
						

					
					
						You will receive tax assistance for normal and customary home sale closing costs and eligible commission expenses only if your home is ineligible for the Home Sale Assistance Program (Buyer Value Option or Amended Value Offer). If you choose to sell your home on your own, no tax assistance will be provided to you.

				

		
			RENTERS’ ASSISTANCE
		

		
			Lease Cancellation
		

		
			If you are presently renting your home or apartment at the origination location, you should immediately notify your landlord or lease holder of your move to avoid or minimize penalty charges.  You should attempt to obtain a written waiver of any provisions of the lease requiring fees or penalties due to your transfer.  The Company asks that you make every effort to minimize the penalties by making the best possible arrangements with your landlord.
		

		
			Should you be required to pay a penalty, the Company reimburses up to a maximum of two (2) months’ rent for any combination of lease termination penalty charges, forfeiture of lease deposit, and/or duplicate rent on your former home or apartment.  If necessary, your dedicated Relocation Coach can assist you with lease cancellation arrangements.
		

		
			New Lease Agreement
		

			
					
						

					
					
						Should you decided to rent a home or apartment in the destination location your new lease should be examined carefully before it is signed. You should negotiate a cancellation clause that would give you the right to cancel the lease without penalty after giving 30 days’ notice, in the event of a company-initiated transfer.

				

		
			Sample Clause:
		

		
			If tenant’s employer relocates tenant to a location more than fifty (50) miles from the premises that are the subject of this lease, this lease will be automatically terminated without further liability at any time.  Tenant agrees to give landlord at least 30 days’

			DESTINATION LOCATION
		

		
			Planning Your House Hunting Trip
		

		
			Whether you are a homeowner or a renter, selecting a new community and home is one of the most important decisions you will make as a result of your job transfer.  The Company’s relocation program offers you professional home finding counseling through GMS. The Company encourages you to take advantage of this valuable service.
		

		
			Your dedicated Relocation Coach will discuss your family’s specific needs, preferences, and lifestyle.  After review of your requirements, your dedicated Relocation Coach will select a local real estate professional who is experienced in the areas of interest to you.
		

			
					
						

					
					
						Remember to contact your dedicated Relocation Coach prior to contacting any real estate agent in the new location.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Your dedicated Relocation Coach and real estate agent will work together to organize your house hunting trip so it is productive.  By planning in advance, the agent will be prepared to take you on area tours and discuss items of interest to you and your family.  Preparation gives you a better chance of quickly finding a residence to fit your needs at a price you can afford.
		

		
			Once your real estate agent is contacted, he or she will provide the following information:
		

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			schools, churches, etc.,

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			commuting times,

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			child and elder care services, and

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			pre-selected homes for viewing

		
			 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						

					
					
						If you are a current homeowner, you should delay house hunting in the new location until you have an estimated value on your present home and you have been pre-qualified by a mortgage lender. Home purchase decisions made with unrealistic expectations of current equity may result in over-commitment at the new location.

				

		
			 
		

		
			Internet Home Search
		

		
			Although the Internet can be a useful tool to gain information on housing in the new area, keep in mind you need to use the approved real estate agent assigned to you to obtain information or to view any home you find on the Internet.  This will avoid

			confusion as to which agent you are working with and any possible real estate commission disputes.
		

		
			HOME PURCHASE CLOSING COST ASSISTANCE
		

		
			If you are purchasing a residence in the new location, you will be reimbursed for reasonable and actual home purchase closing costs provided you sign a contract to purchase a home in the new area and close within one year of your employment effective date or effective date of transfer.
		

		
			One time closing costs for permanent financing will be reimbursed including:
		

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			normal attorney’s fees,

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			appraisal fees,

			survey fees,

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			flood certification, and

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			inspections required by the lender

		
			The Company does not cover one-time closing adjustments such as property taxes, home hazard insurance, fuel adjustments, or private mortgage insurance (PMI).  The Company does not cover the costs associated with establishing second mortgages,  home equity lines of credit or construction loans.
		

		
			Tax Assistance
		

		
			Gross-up will be provided for non-deductible home purchase closing costs.
		

		
			National Mortgage Lender Program
		

		
			The Company has selected national mortgage lenders to provide you with a wide variety of mortgage services.  Your dedicated Relocation Coach will provide you with information on participating mortgage companies.
		

		
			Using the services of these preferred lenders offers many advantages:
		

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			familiarity with the Company’s program,

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			mortgage loan pre-approval process,

			consideration of current spousal income

			
					
						

					
					
						New Construction

					
						If you elect to build a home in the new location, you may incur additional expenses as opposed to purchasing an existing home. Be aware in making your decision that policy benefits will not be extended if you decide to build.

				 à
			

			
	
			
			pre-move survey of your household goods by the moving company;

			
	
			
				 à

				 à
			

			
	
			
			storage of your household goods for up to 90 days, if required.

		
			Shipment of Household Goods
		

		
			You, or a representative appointed by you, will need to plan to be present during all phases of your move—pack, load, delivery, and unpacking.  Your own planning, preparation, and involvement during the process will contribute to a successful move.
		

		
			Items Excluded From Shipment
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						

					
					
						The items listed below are not ordinarily considered household goods and are your responsibility. The Company, GMS Relocation, and the moving company will not be able to take responsibility for these items.

				

		
			The Miscellaneous Expense Allowance is intended to assist you with expenses unique to your personal move and for items not covered by this policy.  Please note the Company will not pay for the shipping of the following items.  If you have any questions, contact your dedicated Relocation Coach.
		

			
					
						   boats    

					
						   campers, trailers, motor homes

					
						   farm machinery

					
						   firewood, rocks, sand, soil, etc.

			Items of Extraordinary Value (Including Antiques)
		

		
			It is recommended that items of extraordinary value such as antiques, fine art, furs, silver, china, crystal, photography equipment, oriental rugs, baseball cards, comics, other collectibles, etc. be professionally appraised prior to your move.  If purchased within the last year, the value can be substantiated with a sales receipt.  The Company will not pay for appraisals or any special handling and packaging of antiques or other high-value items.
		

		
			Packing and Loading
		

		
			Careful packing and proper loading are very important steps in assuring a successful move.  It is important that the mover packs all your household goods.  The driver will prepare a complete inventory list of your household goods describing the condition of each item (nicks, scratches, dents, etc.).  Review the inventory carefully to make sure you agree with the driver’s description before you sign the inventory.  The inventory is an important document in the settlement of claims for loss and damage.
		

		
			Unloading
		

		
			Check with the van driver about delivery times at the new location. Be sure to give them all possible telephone numbers where you can be reached en route and in the new location.
		

		
			As your goods are being unloaded, you must check off each item on your inventory sheets.  Make notations on the sheets of missing or damaged items immediately and have the driver sign it.  Assembly of furniture will be completed prior to the driver leaving your home.  Unpacking of your goods consists of removing the items from the cartons in the room for which they are labeled.  This does not include putting items away.  Disposal of cartons is included in the move services.
		

		
			Billing
		

		
			The van line will send the invoice for your move directly to GMS. If you transport household goods not covered by the policy or incur unauthorized charges, you will be expected to pay for these items at the time of delivery.
		

		
			Tipping
		

		
			Tips to the movers are not covered under this policy.  Your  Miscellaneous Expense Allowance is designed to offset costs associated with tipping.
		

		
			Shipment of Automobiles
		

		
			The Company will reimburse mileage at the current business rate for up to two (2) automobiles to be driven to the new location.  In lieu of driving, the Company will pay to ship up to two automobiles if the distance to the new location exceeds 300 miles.
		

		
			Storage in the New Location
		

		
			You should make every effort to move directly to your permanent residence.  If necessary, you may store your household goods for up to 90 days.

			Time Off for Moving
		

		
			Dollar General understands that moving can be a time-consuming and stressful project.  Therefore, you may need to take some time off from work for this purpose.  At your manager’s approval, Dollar General will allow you up to one week of paid time off for relocation.  During this time it is suggested that you take care of anything relating to your relocation so that you are able to become settled in your new residence and be fully focused on your job upon your return.  Please discuss your plans to take time off for moving with your manager well in advance, so that he or she may plan for your absence.
		

		
			Travel to the New Location
		

		
			You will be reimbursed for one-way transportation for you and your family to travel to the new location.  If you drive, you will be expected to drive a minimum of 300 miles per day and via the most direct route as established by a standard Rand McNally table or equivalent.
		

		
			You will be reimbursed for the following reasonable and actual en route expenses:
		

		
			lodging (one night in departure or destination location or en route night as needed),
		

		
			meals, reimbursed up to $25.00/day for adults and $15.00/day for children (original receipts must be submitted),
		

		
			mileage (current business mileage rate), parking, and tolls, and
		

		
			airfare, if necessary (14‐day advance purchase required).
		

		
			TAX ASSISTANCE
		

		
			Many reimbursements made to you are considered taxable income.  The Company is required to report all relocation reimbursements as compensation with the exception of items identified below.  For informational purposes, the Company will provide you with a tax assistance sheet that will be prepared and mailed to you in January following your move.
		

		
			The following expenses are excluded from taxable income:
		

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			up to thirty days (30) of household goods storage while waiting to occupy your residence in the new location; and

			
	
			
				 à
			

			
	
			
			reasonable and normal expenses for transportation and lodging for you and your eligible family members from your present location to the new location.

		
			The Company will assist in paying the additional tax resulting from taxable relocation reimbursements.  Payments will be made directly to the federal, state, and FICA tax authorities.  It is recommended you seek guidance from a tax professional for any year in which you receive relocation-related services or expense reimbursements.  Accurate expense documentation is very important.
		

		
			The tax assistance provided to you is based solely on your Company derived income, your filing status, and number of 1040 exemptions. Spouse income, investment income or any other outside income will not be included in the calculations.  Individual variances from the program’s calculations will not be reimbursed.

			WHEREAS, the Company wishes to carry out the Plan, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee (or a duly authorized subcommittee thereof) of the Board of the Company appointed to administer the Plan (the “Committee”) has determined that it would be to the advantage and best interest of the Company and its shareholders to grant the Option provided for herein to the Optionee, and has advised the Company thereof and instructed the undersigned officer to issue said Option.
		

		
			 
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

			“Cause” shall mean (A) “Cause” as such term may be defined in any employment agreement between the Optionee and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is in effect at the time of termination of employment; or (B) if there is no such employment agreement in effect, “Cause” as such term may be defined in any change-in-control agreement between the Optionee and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is in effect at the time of termination of employment; or (C) if there is no such employment or change-in-control agreement, with respect to an Optionee: (i) any act of the Optionee involving fraud or dishonesty, or any willful failure to perform reasonable duties assigned to the Optionee which failure is not cured within 10 business days after receipt from the Company of written notice of such failure; (ii) any material breach by the Optionee of any securities or other law or regulation or any Company policy governing trading or dealing with stock, securities, investments or the like, or any inappropriate disclosure or “tipping” relating to any stock, securities, investments or the like; (iii) other than as required by law, the carrying out by the Optionee of any activity, or the Optionee making any public statement, which prejudices or ridicules the good name and standing of the Company or its Affiliates or would bring such persons into public contempt or ridicule; (iv) attendance by the Optionee at work in a state of

			“Disability” shall mean (A) “Disability” as such term may be defined in any employment agreement between the Optionee and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is in effect at the time of termination of employment; or (B) if there is no such employment agreement in effect, “Disability” as such term may be defined in any change-in-control agreement between the Optionee and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is in effect at the time of termination of employment; or (C) if there is no such employment or change-in-control agreement, “Disability” as defined in the Company’s long-term disability plan. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 1.3.  Good Reason

To qualify as a termination due to Good Reason under this Agreement, the Optionee must have provided written notice to the Company of the existence of the circumstances providing grounds for termination for Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such grounds and must have given the Company at least thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to cure the condition constituting Good Reason.

			Section 2.4.  Adjustments to Option
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Option shall be subject to the adjustment provisions of Sections 8 and 9 of the Plan, provided,  however, that in the event of the payment of an extraordinary dividend by the Company to its shareholders: the Exercise Price of the Option shall be reduced by the amount of the dividend paid, but only to the extent the Committee determines it to be permitted under applicable tax laws and to not have adverse tax consequences to the Optionee under Section 409A of the Code; and, if such reduction cannot be fully effected due to such tax laws and it will not have adverse tax consequences to the Optionee, then the Company shall pay to the Optionee a cash payment, on a per Share basis, equal to the balance of the amount of the dividend not permitted to be applied to reduce the Exercise Price of the applicable Option as follows: (a) for each Share subject to a vested Option, immediately upon the date of such dividend payment; and (b) for each Share subject to an unvested Option, on the date on which such Option becomes vested and exercisable with respect to such Share.

			Section 3.1.   Commencement of Exercisability
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)   Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1(b), (c) or (d) below, so long as the Optionee continues to be employed by the Company or any other Service Recipient, the Option shall become vested and exercisable with respect to 25% of the Shares subject to such Option on each April 1 of the four (4) fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the Grant Date occurs, as set forth on Schedule A hereto (each such date, a “Vesting Date”).  To the extent this vesting schedule results in the vesting of fractional shares, the fractional shares shall be combined and be exercisable on the earliest Vesting Date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)   Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a) above, upon the earliest occurrence of (i) the Optionee’s death, or (ii) a termination of the Optionee’s employment by reason of the Optionee’s Disability, the Option shall become immediately vested and exercisable with respect to 100% of the Shares subject to such unvested Option immediately prior to such event (but only to the extent such Option has not otherwise terminated, been forfeited or become exercisable). 
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)   Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a) above, in the event the Optionee experiences a Qualifying Termination, the Option shall become immediately vested and exercisable on the date of such Qualifying Termination with respect to 100% of the Shares subject to such unvested Option (but only to the extent such Option has not otherwise terminated, been forfeited or become exercisable).   
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)   Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a) above, in the event of the Optionee’s Retirement, that portion of the Option that would have become vested and exercisable within the one (1) year period following the Optionee’s Retirement date if the Optionee had remained employed with the Company or the applicable Service Recipient shall remain outstanding for a period of one (1) year following the Optionee’s Retirement date and shall become vested and exercisable on the anniversary of the Grant Date that falls within the one (1) year period following the Optionee’s Retirement date (but only to the extent such portion of the Option has not otherwise terminated, been forfeited or become exercisable); provided, however, that if during such one (1) year period the Optionee dies or incurs a Disability, such portion of the Option shall instead become immediately vested and exercisable (but only to the extent such portion of the Option has not otherwise terminated or been forfeited) upon such death or Disability. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)   No Option shall become vested or exercisable as to any additional Shares following the Optionee’s termination of employment for any reason, and any Option which is unexercisable as of the Optionee’s termination of employment shall immediately terminate and be forfeited without payment therefor, in each case except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1(b), (c) or (d) above.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 3.2.  Expiration of Option
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Optionee may not exercise the Option to any extent after the first to occur of the following events:

			(c)   The first anniversary of the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment with the Company and all Service Recipients by reason of death or Disability;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)   The third anniversary of the date of the Optionee’s Qualifying Termination;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)   Ninety (90) days after the date of the Optionee’s involuntary termination of employment by the Company and all Service Recipients without Cause that is not a Qualifying Termination;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(f)   Ninety (90) days after the date of the Optionee’s voluntary termination of employment with the Company and all Service Recipients by the Optionee that is not a Qualifying Termination or Disability or Retirement;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(g)   Immediately upon the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment by the Company and all Service Recipients with Cause;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(h)   At the discretion of the Company, if the Committee so determines pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan.
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE IV
		

		
			 EXERCISE OF OPTION
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 4.1.  Person Eligible to Exercise
		

		
			 
		

		
			During the lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee (or his or her duly authorized legal representative) may exercise the Option or any portion thereof.  After the death of the Optionee, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2, be exercised by the Optionee’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the Optionee’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 4.2.  Partial Exercise
		

		
			 
		

		
			Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2; provided,  however, that any partial exercise shall be for whole Shares of Common Stock only.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 4.3.  Manner of Exercise
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivering to the Secretary or his or her designee all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2:
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			5

		

 

		

			 

		

		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)   Notice in writing signed by the Optionee or the other person then entitled to exercise the Option or portion thereof, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Committee;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)   (i) Full payment (in cash or by check or by a combination thereof) for the Shares with respect to which such Option or portion thereof is exercised (provided, however, that full payment is deemed made if the Company receives cash in respect of the exercise price no later than the date on which the Company or its agent delivers or releases Shares to the Optionee or his or her agent, which date shall not be later than two (2) business days following the date on which the Option is exercised, in the event of a cashless exercise via a third party in a manner that is compliant with applicable law) or (ii) notice in writing that the Optionee elects to have the number of Shares that would otherwise be issued to the Optionee reduced by a number of Shares having an equivalent Fair Market Value to the payment that would otherwise be made by the Optionee to the Company pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection (b); 
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)   (i) Full payment (in cash or by check or by a combination thereof) to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation with respect to which such Option or portion thereof is exercised (provided, however, that full payment is deemed made if the Company receives such payment no later than the date on which the Company must remit such withholding to the Internal Revenue Service in the event of a cashless exercise via a third party in a manner that is compliant with applicable law); (ii) notice in writing that the Optionee elects to have the number of Shares that would otherwise be issued to the Optionee reduced by a number of Shares having an equivalent Fair Market Value to the payment that would otherwise be made by the Optionee to the Company pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection (c); or (iii) notice in writing to the Company at least 10 days prior to date of exercise that the Optionee elects to pay the withholding tax obligation with previously owned Shares and, subject to all applicable rules established by the Committee, the delivery (or deemed delivery, as allowed by the Committee) on or prior to the date of exercise of such Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the withholding amount;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)   A bona fide written representation and agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, signed by the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof, stating that the Shares of Common Stock are being acquired for his or her own account, for investment and without any present intention of distributing or reselling said Shares or any of them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and then applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and that the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof will indemnify the Company against and hold it free and harmless from any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting to the Company if any sale or distribution of the Shares by such person is contrary to the representation and agreement referred to above; provided,  however, that the Committee may, in its reasonable discretion, take whatever additional actions it deems reasonably necessary to ensure the observance and performance of such representation and agreement and to effect compliance with the Act and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)   In the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 4.1 by any person or persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to it to the effect that any subsequent transfer of Shares acquired on exercise of the Option does not violate the Act, and may issue stop-transfer orders covering such Shares.  Share certificates evidencing stock issued on exercise of the Option may bear an appropriate legend referring to the provisions of subsection (d) above and the agreements herein. The written representation and agreement referred to in subsection (d) above shall, however, not be required if the Shares to be
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			6

		

 

		

			 

		

		

		
			issued pursuant to such exercise have been registered under the Act, and such registration is then effective in respect of such Shares.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 4.4.   Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares or issued Shares, which have then been reacquired by the Company.  Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares purchased (if certificated, or if not certificated, register the issuance of such Shares on its books and records) upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)   The obtaining of approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its reasonable and good faith discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)   The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience or as may otherwise be required by applicable law.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 4.5.   Rights as Shareholder
		

		
			 
		

		
			Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4 of this Agreement, the holder of an Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Option or any portion thereof unless and until certificates representing such Shares shall have been issued by the Company to such holder or the Shares have otherwise been recorded in the records of the Company as owned by such holder.
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE V
