                               SECOND AMENDMENT
                               -----------------
                                      TO
                                      --
             AMENDED AND RESTATED FINANCING AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
             -----------------------------------------------------

     THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED FINANCING AND SECURITY
AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of the 27/th/ day of January, 2000 by
and among Coyne International Enterprises Corp., a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of New York, Blue Ridge Textile
Manufacturing, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Georgia, and Ohio Garment Rental, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws
of the State of Ohio (each is referred to individually as a "Borrower and
collectively, the "Borrowers"), and Bank of America, National Association, a
national banking association, successor by merger to NationsBank, N.A. ("Bank of
America"), LASALLE BUSINESS CREDIT, INC., a corporation organized under the laws
of the State of Delaware ("LaSalle"), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a
national banking association ("PNC") (Bank of America, LaSalle and PNC are
referred to individually as a "Lender" and collectively as the "Lenders"), and
BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, successor
by merger to NationsBank, N.A, as collateral and administrative agent for the
Lenders (the "Agent").

                                   RECITALS
                                   --------

     A.   The Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent entered into that certain
Amended and Restated Financing and Security Agreement dated as of June 26, 1998,
as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Financing and
Security Agreement dated June 9, 1999 (as amended, restated, modified,
substituted, extended, and renewed from time to time, the "Financing
Agreement"). The Financing Agreement provides for some of the agreements between
the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent with respect to the "Loans" (as defined
in the Financing Agreement), including a revolving credit facility in an amount
not to exceed $25,000,000, a letter of credit facility in the amount of
$3,000,000, an acquisition facility in an amount not to exceed $10,000,000 and a
capital expenditure facility in an amount not to exceed $20,000,000.

     B.   Section 2.3 of the Financing Agreement provides for an Acquisition
Loan Facility, under which the Borrowers may receive advances in the maximum
principal amount of $10,000,000 based on "Permitted Acquisitions" (as defined in
the Financing Agreement). The Borrowers acquired certain assets of Unifirst
Corp. (the "Unifirst Acquisition") and two parcels of real estate in Lakeland,
Florida (the "Lakeland Acquisition"). Shortly thereafter, the Borrowers
requested that both the Unifirst Acquisition and the Lakeland Acquisition be
deemed Permitted Acquisitions and, thus, eligible for advances under the
Acquisition Loan Facility in the total amount of $1,801,670.00 ("Requested
Advance"). Subject to the explicit conditions contained in a letter agreement
dated October 28, 1999, the Lenders and Agent made the Requested Advance. The
proceeds of the Requested Advance were applied directly to the Revolving Loan.

                                       1

     C.   The Unifirst Acquisition failed to meet certain cash flow coverage
conditions required of Permitted Acquisitions. The Lakeland Acquisition involved
the purchase of improved real estate for purposes of establishing a new plant
location. Therefore, it fell outside of Permitted Acquisitions. As such, the
Unifirst Acquisition and the Lakeland Acquisition resulted in defaults under the
Financing Agreement (collectively, the "Acquisition Defaults").

     D.   During fiscal year 1999, Thomas M. Coyne purchased three (3) life
insurance policies for estate planning purposes in the cumulative amount of
$9,500,000 (the "Life Insurance"). The premium on the Life Insurance for the
fiscal year 1999 was $325,000 (the "Life Insurance Premium"). The Borrowers paid
the Life Insurance Premium and took a note receivable owed by Thomas M. Coyne
for the Life Insurance Premium ("Life Insurance Note Receivable"). The
Borrowers' payment of the Life Insurance Premium resulted in a default under
Section 6.2.7 of the Financing Agreement (the "Life Insurance Default").

     E.   The Borrowers have requested that the Lenders and Agent amend certain
provisions of the Financing Agreement and waive certain violations, including
the Acquisition Defaults and the Life Insurance Default.

     F.  The Agent and Lenders are willing to agree to the Borrowers' request on
the condition, among others, that this Agreement be executed.

                                  AGREEMENTS
                                  ----------

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and

the Lenders and the Agent agree as follows:

          (b)  Each Borrower has the power and authority to execute and deliver

               October 31, 2000 through and including
               July 31, 2001                                1.20 to 1.00
               ---------------------------------------------------------------
               October 31, 2001 through and thereafter      1.25 to 1.00
               ---------------------------------------------------------------

Financing Agreement is hereby amended by adding subsection (vi), which shall be
