Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  Reference is hereby made to that certain Shared Services
Agreement effective as of January 31, 2005 (the "Shared Services Agreement"), by
and between Retail Ventures, Inc., an Ohio corporation, and DSW Inc., an Ohio
corporation, and that certain Corporate Services Agreement dated June 11, 2002,
by and between RVI and its subsidiaries ("RVI") and Schottenstein Stores
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("SSC"), as amended (the "Corporate Services
Agreement"). We understand that, pursuant to the Corporate Services Agreement,
SSC or Schottenstein Management Company ("SMC") may provide certain services for
DSW and its subsidiaries (collectively, "DSW") (such services so provided being
referred to herein as the "DSW Services").

                  To induce SSC and SMC to provide the DSW Services, DSW agrees
that if RVI fails to pay SSC or SMC for any amounts due for the DSW Services
when due and payable under the Corporate Services Agreement, including
liabilities incurred on behalf of DSW through RVI's past participation in the
SSC self-insurance program, DSW will pay to SSC or SMC all such due and unpaid
amounts upon written demand for payment of the same by SSC or SMC to DSW at its
address set forth in the signature block of this letter (or to such other
address as DSW may specify in writing to SSC and SMC).

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, DSW reserves to itself all
defenses that RVI is or may be entitled to that arise out of the Corporate
Services Agreement, with respect to the DSW Services only, except for any of
such defenses that are based upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization
of RVI. By executing a copy of this letter agreement below, SSC, SMC, RVI and
DSW agree that, with respect to the DSW Services only, (i) DSW shall be entitled
to exercise against SSC and SMC all rights of RVI against SSC and SMC under the
Corporate Services Agreement, including but not limited to all rights of
indemnification and (ii) SSC and SMC shall be entitled to exercise against DSW
all rights of SSC and SMC against RVI under the Corporate Services Agreement,
including but not limited to all rights of indemnification and any defenses. To
be clear, this reservation of indemnification rights relates only to DSW
Services, and not to any services provided directly by RVI to DSW. This letter
agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Ohio, applicable to agreements made and performed entirely in such
state.

                                           DSW INC.
