EXHIBIT 10.31

AMENDMENT NO. 2 dated as of January 26, 2006 (this "Amendment"), to the Credit Agreement dated as of October 6, 2005 (the "Credit Agreement"), among THE NEIMAN MARCUS GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), NEWTON ACQUISITION, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Holdings"), each subsidiary of the Borrower from time to time party thereto, the Lenders (as defined in Article I of the Credit Agreement), and CREDIT SUISSE, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent") and as collateral agent for the Lenders.

    1. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made loans to the Borrower.
    2. The Borrower and the Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as set forth herein.
    3. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

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

SECTION 1. Amendments. (a) Section 2.09(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by:

    1. inserting the words "five (5) Business Days after" immediately prior to the words "the earlier of" in the first line thereof;
    2. inserting "(A)" immediately prior to the words "50% of Excess Cash Flow" in the fifth line thereof;
    3. inserting the following immediately prior to the semicolon in the fifth line thereof: "minus (B) the amount of any prepayments of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.08 during such fiscal year, except to the extent that such prepayments were (1) deducted in determining the amount of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year or (2) financed with the proceeds of other Indebtedness of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries"; and
    4. deleting the words "the amount of such prepayment" in the fifth and sixth lines thereof and substituting therefor the words "(i) such percentage of Excess Cash Flow."

(b) Section 2.09(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the words "to the extent practicable," in the third line thereof and (ii) deleting the words "three (3) days" in the fourth line thereof and substituting therefor the words "five (5) Business Days".

(c) Section 2.09 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new paragraph at the end thereof:

"(c) Any Lender may elect, by notice to the Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Agent, prior to any prepayment of Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, to decline all (but not a portion) of its pro rata share of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the "Declined Proceeds"). Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered by the Agent to the Lenders not so declining such prepayment (with such Lenders having the right to decline any prepayment with Decline Proceeds at the time and in the manner specified by the Agent). To the extent such Lenders elect to decline their pro rata shares of such Declined Proceeds, such remaining Declined Proceeds shall not be subject to prepayment pursuant to this Section and may be retained by the Borrower. The Agent shall notify the Borrower of the amount of such remaining Declined Proceeds as promptly as practicable and, in any event, no later than one (1) Business Day pr ior to the date on which such prepayment is required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, (i) prepayments of outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders that accept the same and (ii) if at the time of any prepayment pursuant to this Section there shall be outstanding Borrowings of different Types or LIBOR Rate Loans with different Interest Periods, and if some but not all of the Lenders have accepted such prepayment, then the aggregate amount of such prepayment shall be allocated ratably to each outstanding Borrowing of the accepting Lenders."

SECTION 2. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date set forth above on the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the Borrower and the Required Lenders.

SECTION 3. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

SECTION 4. Applicable Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 5. Headings. The headings of this Amendment are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
