Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to the Amended and Restated Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2017 (the “Credit Agreement”) among Dollar General Corporation, a Tennessee corporation, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the same meanings as specified in the Credit Agreement.

It is hereby agreed by you and us as follows:

The Credit Agreement is, effective as of the date of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), hereby amended as follows:

“Finance Lease Liabilities” means, as applied to any Person, all obligations under Finance Leases of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case taken at the amount thereof accounted for as liabilities in accordance with GAAP.

“Finance Leases” means all leases that have been or should be, in accordance with GAAP, recorded as finance leases.

This Amendment shall become effective when the Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment executed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (the “Amendment Effective Date”). 

The Borrower hereby represents and warrants, as of the Amendment Effective Date, that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 of the Credit Agreement (except the representations and warranties set forth in the last sentence of Section 4.01(e) and in Section 4.01(f)(i)) are true and correct in all material respects (other than any representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects), as though made on and as of the Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent any of such representations and warranties refers to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than any representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Amendment Effective Date) and (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes a Default.

On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in each of the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.  This Amendment shall be deemed to constitute a “Loan Document”.

The Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.  The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Agent under the Credit Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement.

If you agree to the terms and provisions hereof, please evidence such agreement by executing and returning a counterpart of this Amendment to Susan L. Hobart, Shearman & Sterling LLP, email: ***@***.

This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of

an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
