                          REAFFIRMATION/LIMITED WAIVER

         1.1      Reaffirmation of Existing Debt and Liens. The Credit Parties
acknowledge and confirm that (a) the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Lenders
and the other Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Documents), has
valid and enforceable first priority perfected security interests in the

and the Lenders have performed fully all of their respective obligations under
the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and (e) by entering into
this Amendment, the Lenders party hereto do not waive (except for the limited
waiver of the Financial Covenant Defaults specified below) or release any term
or condition of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any
of their rights or remedies under such Credit Documents or applicable law or any
of the obligations of any Credit Party thereunder.

         1.2      Limited Waiver.

         The Borrower acknowledges the Financial Covenant Defaults that will
result from the failure of the Credit Parties to be able to comply with the
financial covenants contained in Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement for the
fiscal quarters ending September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1999. The Required
Lenders hereby waive the Financial Covenant Defaults for the period from
September 30, 1999 through January 31, 2000 (the "Waiver Period"), subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein. This limited waiver shall not modify
or affect (a) the Credit Parties' obligation to comply with the terms of Section
7.2 of the Credit Agreement on and at all times after January 31, 2000,
including without limitation the application of the financial covenants in
Section 7.2 as measured as of September 30, 1999, December 31, 1999 and
thereafter and (b) the Credit Parties' obligation to comply fully with any other
duty, term, condition, obligation or covenant contained in the Credit Agreement
and the other Credit Documents.

         Except for the limited waiver set forth above, nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under the Credit Agreement or any
other Credit Document or under applicable law; it being understood that the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may not exercise their rights and remedies
with respect to the Financial Covenants Defaults during the Waiver Period as
long as no other Default or Event of Default occurs or exists. The limited
waiver set forth herein shall be effective only in this specific instance for
the duration of the Waiver Period and shall not obligate the Lenders to waive
any other Default or Event of Default, now existing or hereafter arising. This
is a one-time waiver, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no
obligation to extend the waiver or otherwise amend the Credit Agreement at the
end of the Waiver Period.

         The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that unless the Required
Lenders further amend the Credit Agreement or otherwise agree in writing to
continue this waiver beyond January 31, 2000, an Event of Default will exist
under the Credit Agreement at the expiration of the Waiver Period, and
thereafter the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may pursue all rights and
remedies available to them under the Credit Agreement, the other Credit
Documents and applicable law.

                  Company as Seller, Union Underwear Company, Inc. as initial
                  Servicer, Barton Capital Corporation as Purchaser and Societe
                  Generale as Agent, due to a decline in the Borrower's
                  long-term unsecured senior debt rating has been
                  unconditionally waived by the Purchaser and the Agent
                  thereunder through at least October 31, 1999.

                           (ii) any default by any of the Credit Parties or
                  their Subsidiaries under the CSFB Advantage Lease Financing
                  due to a decline in the Borrower's long-term unsecured senior
                  debt rating has been unconditionally waived by the Synthetic
                  Lease Creditors through at least January 31, 2000.

                  Notwithstanding the above, the Credit Parties acknowledge and
                  agree that if either of the waivers described above shall
                  terminate prior to the dates specified above, this Amendment,

         services shall be agreed upon by the Consultant and the Administrative
         Agent on behalf of the Lenders and set forth in writing to the
         Borrower. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable documented costs
         associated with the retention of the Consultant. No Credit Party will,
         nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, deny or limit, or allow
         to be denied or limited, the Consultant's access to all documentation,
         places of business, officers and other employees, and other information
         which would facilitate the ability of the Consultant to perform its
         functions within the scope and for the term of its engagement. The
         Administrative Agent shall notify the Consultant of the confidentiality
         provisions set forth in Section 11.16 of the Credit Agreement and the
         Consultant shall agree to keep all information obtained in the course
         of its engagement confidential in a similar manner.

         reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or
         similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) general
         principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
         considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

                  (c) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or
         filing, registration or qualification with, any court or governmental

         4.6      General Release. In consideration of the Required Lenders
entering into this Amendment, the Credit Parties hereby release the

unknown, suspected or unsuspected to the extent that any of the foregoing arises
from any action or failure to act on or prior to the date hereof.

         4.7      Counterparts/Telecopy. This Amendment may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Delivery of executed counterparts by telecopy shall be effective as an original
and shall constitute a representation that an original will be delivered.
