     The undersigned reserves the privilege of prepaying all or a portion of the principal balance hereof at any time without penalty.

     This Note was signed at Reynoldsburg, Ohio and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the provisions of the laws of the State of Ohio. Any failure of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. or the legal holder hereof to exercise any option herein provided upon default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such option in the event of any continuing or subsequent default.

     If any provision of this Note is illegal, or hereafter rendered illegal, or is for any other reason void, voidable or otherwise unenforceable or invalid, or hereafter rendered void, voidable or otherwise unenforceable or invalid, the remainder of this Note shall not be affected by, but shall be construed as if it does not contain such provision.

     This Replacement Note constitutes a replacement of, and substitute for, the Promissory Note, dated as of November 17, 1999, executed by the undersigned and payable to the order of Abercrombie & Fitch in the principal amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the "Original Note").
