                          TENTH AMENDMENT TO THE THIRD
                      AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

                                                       Dated as of June 30, 2000

                  TENTH AMENDMENT TO THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT
AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") among Glenoit Corporation (the "Borrower"), the
Lenders named in the Credit Agreement (defined below) (the "Lenders"), Banque
Nationale de Paris (the "Agent"), as Agent, Arranger, Issuing Bank and Swing
Line Bank, Fleet National Bank, as Syndication Agent, and LaSalle National Bank,
as Documentation Agent.

                  PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

                  (1) The Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent, the Arranger, the
Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation
Agent have entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as
of February 12, 1999 (as the same has been and in the future may be amended and
modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"). Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined in this Amendment have the same meanings as specified in the
Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

                  (2) Section 2.06(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement provides that
the Borrower is obligated to prepay an aggregate principal amount of Working
Capital Advances, Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Advances in an amount
by which such Advances plus the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then
outstanding (together with such Advances, the "Outstanding Amount") exceeds the
Loan Value of Eligible Collateral, based upon the most recent Borrowing Base
Certificate.

                  (3) On February 23, 2000, Borrower delivered to the Agent a
Borrowing Base Certificate dated February 23, 2000 (the "February BB
Certificate") reflecting that the Outstanding Amount exceeded the Loan Value of
Eligible Collateral. The Borrower was then obligated under Section 2.06(b)(iii)
of the Credit Agreement to make a principal prepayment in the approximate amount
of $2,000,000, which the Borrower failed to make.

                  (4) The failure of the Borrower to make the principal
prepayment required by Section 2.06(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement as aforesaid
constitutes on Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) of the Credit Agreement
(the "Section 2.06(b)(iii) Event of Default"), which the Borrower has
acknowledged by its letter to the Agent, dated February 23, 2000.

                  (5) Section 5.04 of the Credit Agreement sets forth the
financial covenants of the Borrower. On April 9, 2000, the Borrower delivered a
letter to the Agent confirming that the Borrower is in breach of the Section
5.04 covenants as of April 1, 2000. The breach of such covenants constitutes an
Event of Default under Section 6.01(c) of the Credit Agreement (the "Covenant
Events of Default").

                  (6) On April 14, 2000, the Agent delivered to the Borrower and
United States Trust Company of New York, the Indenture Trustee under the
Subordinated Debt Documents (the "Indenture Trustee"), a letter (the
"Subordinated Debt Notice") (i) confirming that, as a result of the Section
2.06(b)(iii) Event of Default, the Borrower was prohibited from making any
<PAGE>

payments whatsoever in respect of the Subordinated Notes, and (ii) notifying the
Company and the Indenture Trustee that if, but only if, the Section 2.06(b)(iii)
Event of Default is determined not to be a payment default and the Borrower is
not otherwise in payment default under the Credit Agreement, the Subordinated
Debt Notice shall constitute a Blockage Notice (as defined in the Subordinated
Debt Documents) based on the Covenant Events of Default.

                  (7) Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in that
certain Seventh Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
dated as of April 28, 2000 (the "Seventh Amendment"), the Lenders agreed that,
provided the Borrower is working diligently to devise a restructuring plan
acceptable to its creditors and equity holders, the Lenders may, in their
discretion, continue to provide Working Capital Advances and issue Letters of
Credit on the conditions, for the limited period and for the limited purposes
set forth in the Seventh Amendment.

                  (8) Over the past several weeks, the Borrower and its equity
holders have been pursuing a potential restructuring of the Borrower and its
subsidiaries. In order to provide the Loan Parties with the necessary liquidity
with which to operate during such period, the Loan Parties requested and the
Lenders, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Eighth Amendment
to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2000
(the "Eighth Amendment"), consented through June 15, 2000 (which date was
extended to July 5, 2000, pursuant to the Ninth Amendment to the Third Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement) (a) to increase the Available Amount of Letters
of Credit and the available amount of Working Capital Loans for the limited
purposes set forth therein, and (b) to the issuance by the Lenders, in their
discretion, of Standby Letters of Credit in the limited amounts, and for the
limited purposes set forth therein.

                  (9) To further facilitate the potential restructuring of the
Borrower and its subsidiaries, the Loan Parties have requested and the Lenders,
subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby,
have consented to (a) increase the available amount of Working Capital Loans for
the limited purposes and for the limited period hereinafter set forth, and (b)
the deferral, for the limited period hereinafter set forth, of the prepayment of
the Term A Advances and Term B Advances which would otherwise be due on July 1,
2000.

                  SECTION 1. Working Capital Advances and Letters of Credit.
Subject to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Lenders
hereby agree that the Borrower may request (provided that on the date of such
request, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not collectively have in their
possession or under their control cash and Cash Equivalents in an aggregate
amount greater than $1,000,000 (net of undrawn and outstanding checks as of such
date)) and the Agent, in its discretion (unless otherwise instructed by the
Majority Working Capital Lenders (as defined herein)), may provide Working
Capital Advances and issue Letters of Credit from the date hereof through and
including July 25, 2000 (the "Amendment Period"); provided, however, that (a)
the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding shall not at
any time exceed $5.314 million less the aggregate Letter of Credit Advances at
such time, (b) issued and outstanding Standby Letters of Credit shall not at any
time exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate, (c) the sum of Working Capital Advances
and Swing Line Advances shall not at any time exceed $54.914 million less the
sum of (I) the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such
time and (II) the aggregate of all Letter of Credit

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

Advances at such time; and, provided further that, nothing contained herein
shall in any way limit, impair or modify the requirements of Section
2.06(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement, as amended pursuant hereto.

                  SECTION 2. Amendments. The Credit Agreement is, effective as
of the date hereof and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent
in Section 3 below, hereby amended as follows:

                  (a) During the Amendment Period, Schedule I to the Credit
         Agreement is hereby amended to increase Letter of Credit Commitment of
         the Issuing Bank from $5,000,000 to $5,314,000.

                  (b) During the Amendment Period, Section 2.01(e) of the Credit
         Agreement shall be amended by deleting the last sentence thereof and
         adding the following language at the end of such Section:

                           Anything to the contrary set forth in the Loan
                  Documents notwithstanding, two Business Days prior to the
                  issuance of any Trade Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall
                  provide, with respect to all Letters of Credit, documentation
                  to the Agent describing the recipient, amount and purpose of
                  such Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, with
                  respect to Trade Letters of Credit, the customer for whose
                  benefit the Inventory (the payment for which is to be secured
                  by the proposed Trade Letter of Credit) is being ordered.

                  (c) During the Amendment Period, Section 5.02(f)(viii) of the
         Credit Agreement shall be amended by adding after the words "Cash
         Equivalents", the following: "(excluding actual cash held in Blocked
         Accounts with Blocked Account Banks (as such terms are defined in the
         Third Amended and Restated Security Agreement)).

                  (d) During the period of June 30, 2000 through and including
         July 18, 2000, clause (B) of Section 2.06(b)(iii) of the Credit
         Agreement shall be modified to read as follows: "the lesser of the
         Working Capital Facility and the sum of the Loan Value of the Eligible
         Collateral on such Business Day (as determined based upon the most
         recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to the lender Parties
         hereunder) plus $1,200,000."

                  SECTION 3. Deferral of Term Loan Principal Prepayments. The
obligation of the Borrower to repay on July 1, 2000 the aggregate principal
amount of $1.675 million on the Term A and Term B Advances as set forth in
Section 2.04 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deferred to the earlier of (a)
the date on which an Event of Default, other than those described in this
Amendment, occurs, and (b) July 25, 2000.

                  SECTION 4. Conditions of Effectiveness of Amendment. This
Amendment shall become effective as of the date first above written when, and

         hereby, to which the Borrower is a party are legal, valid and binding

                  (f) There is no action, suit, investigation, litigation or
         proceeding affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries

          (i)   Once a Participant is enrolled in the Plan for an Offering
     Period, such Offering Period shall continue to apply to him or her until
     the earliest of: (A) the end of such Offering Period; (B) the end of his or
     her participation under Subsection (d) above; or (C) re-enrollment in a
     subsequent Offering Period under Paragraph (ii) below.

          (ii)  In the event that the Fair Market Value of Stock on the last
     trading day before the commencement of the Offering Period in which the
     Participant is enrolled is higher than on the last trading day before the
     commencement of any subsequent Offering Period, the Participant shall
     automatically be re-enrolled for such subsequent Offering Period.

          (iii) When a Participant reaches the end of an Offering Period but his
     or her participation is to continue, then such Participant shall
     automatically be re-enrolled for the Offering Period that commences
     immediately after the end of the prior Offering Period.

SECTION 5  Employee Contributions.
---------------------------------

     (a)  Frequency of Payroll Deductions. A Participant may purchase shares of
          -------------------------------
Stock under the Plan solely by means of payroll deductions. Payroll deductions,
as designated by the Participant pursuant to Subsection (b) below, shall occur
on each payday during participation in the Plan.

     (b)  Amount of Payroll Deductions. An Eligible Employee shall designate on
          ----------------------------
the enrollment form the portion of his or her Compensation that he or she elects
to have withheld for the purchase of Stock. Such portion shall be a whole
percentage of the Eligible Employee's Compensation, but not less than 1% nor
more than 15%.

     (c)  Changing Withholding Rate. If a Participant wishes to change the rate
          -------------------------
of payroll withholding, he or she may do so by filing a new enrollment form with
the Company at the prescribed location at any time. The new withholding rate
shall be effective as soon as reasonably practicable after such form has been
received by the Company. The new withholding rate shall be a whole percentage of
the Eligible Employee's Compensation, but not less than 1% nor more than 15%.

     (d)  Discontinuing Payroll Deductions. If a Participant wishes to
          --------------------------------
discontinue employee contributions entirely, he or she may do so by filing a new
enrollment form with the Company at the prescribed location at any time. Payroll
withholding shall cease as soon as reasonably practicable after such form has
been received by the Company. (In addition, employee contributions may be
discontinued automatically pursuant to Section 9(b)). A Participant who has
discontinued employee contributions may resume such contributions by filing a
new enrollment form with the Company at the prescribed location. Payroll
withholding

                                      -4-

     (a)  Withdrawal. A Participant may elect to withdraw from the Plan by
          ----------
filing the prescribed form with the Company at the prescribed location at any
time before the last day of an Accumulation Period. As soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter, payroll deductions shall cease and the entire amount
credited to the Participant's Plan Account shall be refunded to him or her in
cash, without interest. No partial withdrawals shall be permitted.

     (b)  Re-enrollment After Withdrawal. A former Participant who has withdrawn
          ------------------------------
from the Plan shall not be a Participant until he or she re-enrolls in the Plan
under Section 4(c). Re-enrollment may be effective only at the commencement of
an Offering Period.

SECTION 7 Change In Employment Status.
-------------------------------------

     (a)  Termination of Employment. Termination of employment as an Eligible
          -------------------------
Employee for any reason, including death, shall be treated as an automatic
withdrawal from the Plan under Section 6(a). (A transfer from one Participating
Company to another shall not be treated as a termination of employment.)

     (b)  Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, employment shall not be
          ----------------
deemed to terminate when the Participant goes on a military leave, a sick leave
or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the Company
in writing. Employment, however, shall be deemed to terminate ninety (90) days
after the Participant goes on a leave, unless a contract or statute guarantees
his or her right to return to work. Employment shall be deemed to terminate in
any event when the approved leave ends, unless the Participant immediately
returns to work.

     (c)  Death. In the event of the Participant's death, the amount credited to
          -----
his or her Plan Account shall be paid to a beneficiary designated by him or her
for this purpose on the prescribed form or, if none, to the Participant's
estate. Such form shall be valid only if it was filed with the Company at the
prescribed location before the Participant's death.

SECTION 8  Plan Accounts And Purchase Of Shares.
-----------------------------------------------

     (a)  Plan Accounts. The Company shall maintain a Plan Account on its books
          -------------
in the name of each Participant. Whenever an amount is deducted from the
Participant's Compensation under the Plan, such amount shall be credited to the
Participant's Plan Account. Amounts credited to Plan Accounts shall not be trust
funds and may be commingled with the Company's general assets and applied to
general corporate purposes. No interest shall be credited to Plan Accounts.

     (b)  Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for each share of Stock purchased
          --------------
at the close of an Accumulation Period shall be the lower of:

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

          (i)   85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the last trading
     day in such Accumulation Period; or

          (ii)  85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the last trading
     day before the commencement of the applicable Offering Period (as
     determined under Section 4(e)) or, in the case of the first Offering Period
     under the Plan, 85% of the price at which one share of Stock is offered to
     the public in the IPO.

     (c)  Number of Shares Purchased. As of the last day of each Accumulation
          --------------------------
Period, each Participant shall be deemed to have elected to purchase the number
of shares of Stock calculated in accordance with this Subsection (c), unless the
Participant has previously elected to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with
Section 6(a). The amount then in the Participant's Plan Account shall be divided
by the Purchase Price, and the number of shares that results shall be purchased
from the Company with the funds in the Participant's Plan Account. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no Participant shall purchase more than 1,000 shares of Stock
with respect to any Accumulation Period nor more than the amounts of Stock set
forth in Sections 9(b) and 14(a). The Committee may determine with respect to
all Participants that any fractional share, as calculated under this Subsection
(c), shall be (i) rounded down to the next lower whole share or (ii) credited as
a fractional share.

     (d)  Available Shares Insufficient. In the event that the aggregate number
          -----------------------------
of shares that all Participants elect to purchase during an Accumulation Period
exceeds the maximum number of shares remaining available for issuance under
Section 14(a), then the number of shares to which each Participant is entitled
shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares available for issuance
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares that such
Participant has elected to purchase and the denominator of which is the number
of shares that all Participants have elected to purchase.

     (e)  Issuance of Stock. Certificates representing the shares of Stock
          -----------------
purchased by a Participant under the Plan shall be issued to him or her as soon
as reasonably practicable after the close of the applicable Accumulation Period,
except that the Committee may determine that such shares shall be held for each
Participant's benefit by a broker designated by the Committee (unless the
Participant has elected that certificates be issued to him or her). Shares may
be registered in the name of the Participant or jointly in the name of the
Participant and his or her spouse as joint tenants with right of survivorship or
as community property.

     (f)  Unused Cash Balances. An amount remaining in the Participant's Plan
          --------------------
Account that represents the Purchase Price for any fractional share shall be
carried over in the Participant's Plan Account to the next Accumulation Period.
Any amount remaining in the Participant's Plan Account that represents the
Purchase Price for whole shares that could not be purchased by reason of
Subsection (c) above, Section 9(b) or Section 14(a) shall be refunded to the
Participant in cash, without interest.

     (g)  Stockholder Approval. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding,
          --------------------
no shares of Stock shall be purchased under the Plan unless and until the
Company's stockholders have approved the adoption of the Plan.

SECTION 9  Limitations On Stock Ownership.
-----------------------------------------

     (a)  Five Percent Limit. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding,
          ------------------
no Participant shall be granted a right to purchase Stock under the Plan if such
Participant, immediately after his or her election to purchase such Stock, would
own stock possessing more than 5% of the total combined voting power or value of
all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company.
For purposes of this Subsection (a), the following rules shall apply:

          (i)   Ownership of stock shall be determined after applying the
     attribution rules of section 424(d) of the Code;

          (ii)  Each Participant shall be deemed to own any stock that he or she
     has a right or option to purchase under this or any other plan; and

          (iii) Each Participant shall be deemed to have the right to purchase
     1,000 shares of Stock under this Plan with respect to each Accumulation
     Period.

     (b)  Dollar Limit. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no
          ------------
Participant shall purchase Stock with a Fair Market Value in excess of the
following limit:

     Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no Participant shall
purchase Stock with a Fair Market Value in excess of $25,000 per calendar year
(under this Plan and all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or
any parent or Subsidiary of the Company).

     For purposes of this Subsection (b), the Fair Market Value of Stock shall
be determined in each case as of the beginning of the Offering Period in which
such Stock is purchased. Employee stock purchase plans not described in section
423 of the Code shall be disregarded. If a Participant is precluded by this
Subsection (b) from purchasing additional Stock under the Plan, then his or her
employee contributions shall automatically be discontinued and shall resume at
the beginning of the earliest Accumulation Period ending in the next calendar
year (if he or she then is an Eligible Employee).

SECTION 10 Rights Not Transferable.
----------------------------------

     The rights of any Participant under the Plan, or any Participant's interest
in any Stock or moneys to which he or she may be entitled under the Plan, shall
not be transferable by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of
law, or in any other manner other than by beneficiary designation or the laws of
descent and distribution. If a Participant in any manner attempts to transfer,
assign or otherwise encumber his or her rights or interest under the Plan, other
than by beneficiary designation or the laws of descent and distribution, then
such act shall be treated as an election by the Participant to withdraw from the
Plan under Section 6(a).

SECTION 11 No Rights As An Employee
-----------------------------------

     Nothing in the Plan or in any right granted under the Plan shall confer
upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of a Participating
Company for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise
restrict in any way the rights of the Participating

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Companies or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by
each, to terminate his or her employment at any time and for any reason, with or
without cause.

SECTION 12 No Rights As A Stockholder.
-------------------------------------

     A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any
shares of Stock that he or she may have a right to purchase under the Plan until
such shares have been purchased on the last day of the applicable Offering
Period.

SECTION 13 Securities Law Requirements.
--------------------------------------

     Shares of Stock shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and
delivery of such shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable
requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities
laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other
securities market on which the Company's securities may then be traded.

2001 equal to the lesser of (i) two million (2,000,000) shares, (ii) 3% of the
outstanding shares on such date or (iii) a lesser amount determined by the
Board. The aggregate number of Shares available for purchase under the Plan
shall at all times be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 14.

     (b)  Antidilution Adjustments. The aggregate number of shares of Stock
          ------------------------
offered under the Plan, the 1,000 share limitation described in Section 8(c) and
the price of shares that any Participant has elected to purchase shall be
adjusted proportionately by the Committee for any increase or decrease in the
number of outstanding shares of Stock resulting from a subdivision or
consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend, any other increase
or decrease in such shares effected without receipt or payment of consideration
by the Company, the distribution of the shares of a Subsidiary to the Company's
stockholders or a similar event.

     (c)  Reorganizations. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding,
          ---------------
immediately prior to the effective time of a Corporate Reorganization, the
Offering Period then in progress shall terminate and shares shall be purchased
pursuant to Section 8, unless the Plan is assumed by the surviving corporation
or its parent corporation pursuant to the plan of merger or consolidation. The
Plan shall in no event be construed to restrict in any way the Company's right
to undertake a dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or other
reorganization.

SECTION 15 Amendment Or Discontinuance.
--------------------------------------

     The Board shall have the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at
any time and without notice. Except as provided in Section 14, any increase in
the aggregate number of shares of Stock to be issued under the Plan shall be
subject to approval by a vote of the stockholders of the Company. In addition,
any other amendment of the Plan shall be subject to approval by a

                                      -8-

law or regulation.
