(i) amending the section thereof captioned “RECITALS” so that it reads in its entirety:  “The Company and Executive intend that Executive shall serve the Company as Senior Executive Vice President on the terms set forth below and, to that end, deem it desirable and appropriate to enter into this Agreement.”;

(ii) amending Section 2(a) thereof  to read in its entirety:  “Nature of Services.  Executive shall diligently perform the duties and responsibilities of Senior Executive Vice President and such additional executive duties and responsibilities as shall from time to time be assigned to him by the President and/or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.”;

(iii) amending the first paragraph of Section 5(a) thereof so that the words “(iii) termination by Executive in the event that (A) Executive is required to report other than to the Chief Executive Officer, or (B) Executive is relocated more than forty (40) miles from the current corporate headquarters of the Company, in either case without his prior written consent (a “Constructive Termination”)” are replaced with the words “(iii) termination by Executive in the event that (A) Executive is required to report other than to the President and/or Chief Executive Officer, or (B) Executive is relocated more than forty (40) miles from the current corporate headquarters of the Company, in either case without his prior written consent (a “Constructive Termination”)”; and

(iv) amending the last sentence of Section 5(b) so that it reads in its entirety:  “For purposes of the two preceding sentences, “service in a position acceptable to Executive” shall be deemed to mean service as Senior Executive Vice President or service in such other position, if any, as may be acceptable to Executive.”

If you agree with the foregoing proposed amendments to the Agreement, please so indicate by signing the enclosed copy of this letter agreement and returning it to

Re:                               Modification of Employment Agreement

Dear Mr. Barron:

Reference is made to the Employment Agreement dated as of April 5, 2005 (the “Agreement”) between you and The TJX Companies, Inc. (the “Company”).  The Company proposes to modify Section 3(g) of the Agreement to replace the reference to a leased automobile with a reference to an auto allowance and to make a corresponding change to Section C.1(c) of Exhibit C.  Section 3(g) would be modified by deleting the second sentence thereof and amending the first sentence thereof so that it reads:  “Executive shall be subject to Company policies applicable to its executives generally and shall be entitled to receive an automobile allowance commensurate with his position and all such other fringe benefits as the Company shall from time to time make available to other executives generally (subject to the terms of any applicable fringe benefit plan).”  Section C.1(c) of Exhibit C would be modified to read:  “For a period of two years after the Date of Termination, the Company shall continue to provide to Executive the automobile allowance that it was providing to him prior to the Change of Control.”

If you agree with the foregoing proposed modification of the Agreement, please so indicate by signing the enclosed copy of this letter agreement and returning it to Donald G. Campbell, whereupon Section 3(g) of the Agreement and Section C.1(c) of Exhibit C of the Agreement will be deemed modified, effective immediately, to read as described above and, except as so modified, the Agreement will continue in effect in accordance with its terms.  This letter agreement shall constitute an agreement under seal.
