 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, INTERNATIONAL TEXTILE GROUP, INC. (herein called the
“Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, hereby promises to pay to the order of
[                                       
 ] (the “Payee”), or permitted successors or assigns, the principal sum of (i)
[                                        ]
DOLLARS ($[            ]) plus (ii) any PIK Interest (as defined below) not represented by a separate PIK Note (as defined below), on June 6, 2011, with interest
(computed on the basis of a 360-day year payable for the number of days actually elapsed) on the unpaid balance thereof at the rate of 18.00% per annum from the date hereof until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable,
payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date (as defined below); provided, that if the Qualified Issuance has not occurred on or before December 6, 2008 (the “Initial Adjustment Date”), then the interest rate
applicable hereunder shall increase by 2.00% per annum on the Initial Adjustment Date, and by an additional 1.00% per annum on each six-month anniversary of the Initial Adjustment Date if, but only if, the Qualified Issuance has not
occurred on or before such respective date; provided further, that, effective on the date of the occurrence of the Qualified Issuance, the interest rate applicable hereunder shall be restored to the interest rate in effect prior to application of
the immediately preceding proviso. 
 Prior to the occurrence of the Qualified Issuance, accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid in kind
(“PIK Interest”) by adding such interest to the outstanding principal balance of this Note on the last day of each of March, June, September and December of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”) commencing
June 30, 2007 and all of such PIK Interest shall bear interest as provided herein to the same extent as the original principal balance hereof. Effective upon and after the occurrence of the Qualified Issuance, the accrued and unpaid interest
shall be payable as follows: (i) an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount of such accrued and unpaid interest by a percentage (expressed as a decimal) obtained by dividing 9% (expressed as a decimal) by the interest
rate applicable to this Note during such period (expressed as a decimal), shall be payable in cash and (ii) the remaining accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date in the form of PIK Interest. After the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) at all times during which the Purchasers, collectively, constitute the Required Holders, the interest rate applicable to such amounts shall be 2.5% per annum in excess of
the rate otherwise applicable hereunder, effective automatically upon the occurrence of such Event of Default (but only so long as such Event of Default is continuing) or (ii) at all times during which the Purchasers, collectively, do not
constitute the Required Holders, then at the option of the Required Holders (or automatically while any Event of Default under Sections 12(f) or 12(g) of the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below) exists), the interest rate applicable to such
amounts shall be 2.5% per annum in excess of the rate otherwise applicable hereunder, effective upon the occurrence of such Event of Default (but only so long as such Event of Default is continuing). 
 At the option of the Payee, the Company shall provide the Payee with one or more notes substantially in the form hereof (“PIK Notes”)
reflecting PIK Interest paid on each of such dates or provide an allonge to this Note reflecting such increase in the principal amount hereof in each case in the amount of such PIK Interest, provided that the failure to request an allonge or PIK
Note in the amount of any PIK Interest then due and owing shall not prejudice the Payee in any respect, it being understood and agreed that any such PIK Notes and allonges shall be for the sole benefit and convenience of Payee.

 Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Note, the aggregate interest rate per annum charged
with respect to this Note (including, without limitation, all charges and fees deemed to be interest pursuant to applicable law), shall not exceed the maximum rate per annum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the aggregate interest rate
per annum payable with respect to this Note (including, without limitation, all charges and fees deemed to be interest under applicable laws) exceeds the maximum legal rate, (i) the Company shall only pay interest at the maximum permitted rate,
(ii) the Company shall continue to make such interest payments at the maximum permitted rate until all such interest payments and other charges and fees payable hereunder (in the absence of such legal limitations) have been paid in full,
(iii) any interest in excess of the maximum permitted rate received by the Payee shall, at the Payee’s option, be applied to a prepayment of the principal amount of this Note or refunded to the Company, and (iv) neither the Company
nor any other Person shall have any right of action against the holder of this Note for any damages or penalties arising out of the payment or collection of any such excess interest. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or
received with respect to this Note exceeds the maximum permitted rate, such holder of the Note may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than
interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of this Note. 
 Payments of principal of and interest on (except as otherwise provided herein) this Note are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America
at the address shown in the register maintained by the Company for such purpose or at such other place as the Payee shall have designated pursuant to Section 15.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement referred to below.

terms in the Note Purchase Agreement), among the Company and the respective Purchasers named therein and is entitled to the benefits thereof. Each holder of this Note will be deemed, by its acceptance hereof, (a) to have agreed to the
confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 20 of the Note Purchase Agreement, (b) to have made the representations set forth in the Section 7 of the Note Purchase Agreement and (c) to have represented to the Company that it
is not an ITG Competitor. 
 This Note is a registered Note and, as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement, upon surrender of this Note for
registration of transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed, by the registered holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, a new Note for a like principal amount will be
issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for
all other purposes, and the Company will not be affected by any notice to the contrary. This Note may be transferred or assigned only in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.
