        work stoppage or lock out and no such labor strike, work stoppage or
        lock out is threatened. No union organizing or election activities
        involving any nonunion

        Company and any consultant, former consultant, Employee or former
        employee obligating the Company to make any payment, provide or
        accelerate any benefit, or increase compensation due to any such
        individual, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this
        Agreement, nor will the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
        result in any breach of any agreement with any consultant, former
        consultant, Employee or former employee.

                (f)     There are no loans outstanding from the Company to any
        of the Employees.

                (g)     The Company is not in breach of any material terms of
        employment of any of the Employees nor to the knowledge of Sellers or
        the Company is any Employee in breach of any material term of his or her
        employment relationship.

        January 1, 1993 complied in all material respects with the employment
        eligibility verification form requirements under the Immigration and
        Naturalization Act, as amended ("INA"), in recruiting, hiring, reviewing
        and documenting prospective employees for employment eligibility
        verification purposes and the Company has complied in all material
        respects with the paperwork provisions and anti-discrimination
        provisions of the INA. To the knowledge of the Sellers, the Company has
        since January 1, 1993 obtained and maintained the employee records and
        I-9 forms in proper order as required by United States law. To the
        knowledge of Sellers and the Company, the Company does not employ any
        workers unauthorized to work in the United States.

                (j)     As of the Auburn Closing, the Company, its Subsidiaries
        and any entity with which the Company or any Subsidiary could be
        considered a single employer under 29 U.S.C. Section 2101(a)(1) or under
        any relevant case law, has not incurred any liability or obligation
        under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as if may
        be amended from time to time, and within the 90-day period immediately
        following the closing, will not

                                                                              18

no security interest, lien, Encumbrance or claim of any kind on the Company's
interest under any Material Contract.

        3.22.   TAXES.

                (a)     All Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of
        each of the Company and the Subsidiaries have been duly filed on a
        timely basis, except where the failure to file would not have a material
        adverse affect on the financial condition of the Company or the
        Subsidiaries, and such Tax Returns are true, complete and correct in all
        material respects. All Taxes (whether or not required to be shown on any
        Tax Return) required under applicable Tax Law to have been paid by each
        of the Company and the Subsidiaries have been paid in full on a timely
        basis. No other Taxes are payable by each of the Company and the
        Subsidiaries with respect to items or periods covered by such Tax
        Returns or with respect to any period prior to the date of this
        Agreement. With respect to all Taxes of each of the Company and the
        Subsidiaries not yet due and payable (excluding Taxes attributable to
        Final Group Items), and with respect to Taxes which would be imposed on
        the Company pursuant to Code Section 951 (or any analogous or similar
        state or local law or regulation) with respect to the Subsidiaries if
        the Auburn Closing Date were the last day of each Subsidiary's taxable
        year (and taking into account Code Section 951(a)(2)(B)), the Company or
        the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, have established an adequate
        reserve on their respective books and financial records as of the Auburn
        Closing Date for the payment of such Taxes, and the amount of such Taxes
        does not, in the aggregate, exceed such reserves for such Taxes as
        reflected on the books and financial records of the Company or the
        Subsidiaries, as the case may be. The Company and the Subsidiaries have
        timely withheld and paid over to the relevant Tax Authority all Taxes
        required to have been withheld and paid over, and timely complied with
        all information reporting and backup withholding requirements, including
        maintenance of required records with respect thereto, in connection with
        amounts paid or owing to any employee, creditor, independent contractor,
        or other third party.

                (b)     To the knowledge of the Sellers, except as otherwise
        provided for on Schedule 3.22, neither the Tax Returns of the Company
        nor the Subsidiaries has ever been subject to an Audit during the last
        seven years, nor is there any such Audit in progress, pending or
        threatened (either in writing or verbally, formally or informally) nor
        have the Sellers, the Company, or the Subsidiaries been notified,
        formally or informally, or expects to be notified by any Tax Authority
        or are the Sellers otherwise aware, that any such Audit is contemplated,
        threatened or pending. To the knowledge of the Sellers, except as
        otherwise provided for on Schedule 3.22, no information regarding any
        Tax matter relating to the Company or the

                                                                              21
<PAGE>

        Subsidiaries has been requested by any Tax Authority and no issue has
        been raised or is currently pending by any Tax Authority in connection
        with any of the Tax Returns of the Company or the Subsidiaries.

                (c)     There are no claims, investigations, actions or
        proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Sellers, threatened, against
        the Company or the Subsidiaries by any Tax Authority for any past due
        Taxes with respect to which the Company or the Subsidiaries would be
        liable. There has been no waiver of any applicable statute of
        limitations nor any consent for the extension of the time for the
        assessment of any Tax against the Company or its Subsidiaries.

                (d)     Neither the Company nor the Subsidiaries is delinquent
        in the payment of any Taxes and there are no Tax liens upon any property
        or assets of the Company or the Subsidiaries, except liens for Taxes not
        yet due and payable.

                (e)     The Company is not currently required to make any
        adjustment under any state or local Tax Law provision comparable to
        Section 481(a) of the Code by reason of a change in accounting method or
        otherwise.

                (f)     Except under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (and
        comparable provisions of any other applicable Tax Law), neither the
        Company nor the Subsidiaries are liable for the Taxes of any Person
        including, without limitation, as a transferee or successor, or by
        contract, indemnity or otherwise. To the knowledge of the Sellers, the
        Company has never been a member of an affiliated group filing
        consolidated returns other than the Group and other than a Group in
        which Gerber Childrenswear Inc. was the common parent.

                (g)     Neither the Company nor the Subsidiaries are currently,
        or to the knowledge of the Sellers have ever been, a party to any Tax
        sharing agreement, Tax indemnity agreement or other similar Tax sharing
        arrangement.

                (h)     Neither the Company nor the Subsidiaries are required to
        file Tax Returns in any state, local, territorial or foreign taxing
        jurisdiction other than those for which all Tax Returns have been

        Neither the Company nor the Sellers has any legally binding oral or

        create or participate in any additional plan, agreement or arrangement

                (b)     Except as set forth in Schedule 3.29(b), neither the
        Company nor any corporation or other trade or business under common
        control with the Company (as determined pursuant to Section 414 (b) or
        (c) of the Code) ("Commonly Controlled Entity") is presently, and has
        ever been, a participating employer in any "multi-employer plan" as
        defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA or Section 414(f) of the Code or any
        "employee pension benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA
        which is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. Any
        employee benefit plan or arrangement that the Company or any Subsidiary

        and no residual liabilities remain with respect to such termination(s).

                                                                              27
<PAGE>

                (c)     Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.29(C), the Company has
        no obligation to provide any welfare benefits to current employees when
        they retire or retired or former employees or their survivors,
        dependents or beneficiaries, including but not limited to, severance,
        salary continuation, termination, disability, death, or retiree health
        or medical benefits other than continuation of welfare benefits as
        required by applicable law. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.29(c),
        none of the plans that are "employee welfare benefit plans" as defined
        in Section 3(1) of ERISA are self-insured or "multiple employer welfare
        arrangements" as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA and there are no
        reserves, assets, surpluses or pre-paid premiums with respect to such
        plans.

                (d)     Full payment has been made of all amounts other than
        routine claims for benefits which the Company is required to pay under
        the terms of any Plan, or such amounts have been properly accrued in
        accordance with and to the extent required by generally accepted
        accounting principles. There are no funded benefit obligations for which
        contributions have not been made or properly accrued and there are no
        unfunded benefit obligations that have not been accounted for by
        reserves, or otherwise properly footnoted in accordance with generally
        accepted accounting principals on the financial statements of the
        Company or a Subsidiary.

                (e)     Each of the Plans is and has been operated and
        administered in all material respects in accordance with applicable
        laws, including but not limited to, ERISA and the Code, and all required
        material governmental filings and material participant disclosures have
        been made on a timely basis. Each Plan subject to Section 401(a) or
        403(a) of the Code has received a post Tax Reform Act of 1986 favorable
        determination from the Internal Revenue Service that the Plan satisfies
        the requirements of Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code, as applicable,
        and that the related trust is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a)
        of the Code, and to the knowledge of the Company and Sellers, no facts
        exist which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the
        tax-qualified status of any such Plan. There have been no "prohibited
        transactions" within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
        of the Code, or any breach of fiduciary duty under Title I of ERISA have
        occurred with respect to any of the Plans or with respect to the Sellers
        or the Company.

                (f)     There are no pending, or to the knowledge of Sellers or
        the Company, threatened or anticipated claims, litigation,
        administrative actions or proceedings against or otherwise involving any
        of the Plans or related trusts, or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
        fiduciary thereof, by any governmental agency, or by any employee,
        former employee, retiree or sales personnel or by any participant or
        beneficiary covered under any of the Plans, or otherwise involving the
        Plans (other than routine claims for benefits). There is no judgment,
        decree, injunction, rule or order of any court, governmental body,
        commission, agency or arbitrator outstanding against or in favor of any
        Plan or, to the knowledge of the Company or Sellers, any fiduciary
        thereof in that capacity.

                (g)     Each Plan that is a "group health plan" (as defined in
        Section 607(1) of ERISA) has been operated in compliance in all material
        respects with the provisions of COBRA

                                                                              28

        Accountability Act of 1996 and any applicable state laws. Except as set
        forth on Schedule 3.29(g), the Seller is not the sponsor of, or a
        participating employer in, any Plan that is an "employee welfare benefit
        plan" within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA that does not have an
        underlying insurance contract. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.29(g),
        there are no reserves, assets, surpluses or prepaid premiums with
        respect to any employee welfare benefit plan.

                (h)     No liability will be incurred under any Plan solely as a
        result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                (i)     Each Plan that is a pension plan that is not qualified
        under Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code is exempt from Part 2, 3 and
        4 of Title I of ERISA as an unfunded plan that is maintained primarily
        for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of
        management or highly compensated employees pursuant to ERISA. No assets
        of the Company are allocated to or held in a "rabbi trust" or similar
        funding vehicle.

                      COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND SELLERS

        Each of the Company, the Subsidiaries and Sellers hereby, jointly and
severally, agrees to keep, perform and fully discharge the following covenants
and agreements:

        5.1     TAX MATTERS.

                (a)     TAX INDEMNIFICATION. The Company and the Sellers shall
        indemnify the Company, the Subsidiaries, and Buyers, and hold them
        harmless from and against, without duplication, any loss, claim,
        liability, expense, or other damage attributable to (i) all Taxes (or
        the non-payment thereof) of each of the Company and the Subsidiaries for
        all Taxable Periods ending on or before the Auburn Closing Date
        ("PRE-CLOSING TAX PERIODS") and the portion of Taxes for all Taxable
        Periods that include (but does not end on) the Auburn Closing Date
        ("PRE-CLOSING STRADDLE PERIODS") to the extent such Taxes are allocable
        to the portion of such period occurring on or before the Auburn Closing
        Date and except for such Taxes arising from transactions by the Company,
        Subsidiaries and Buyer outside the ordinary course of business after the
        Auburn Closing on the Auburn Closing Date, (ii) any and all Taxes
        imposed on the Buyer (or Buyer Affiliate) pursuant to Code Section 951
        (or any analogous or similar state or local law or regulation) with
        respect to the Subsidiaries and allocable to Pre-Closing Straddle
        Periods, (iii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated,
        combined or unitary group of which the Company or any of the
        Subsidiaries (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a
        member on or prior to the Auburn Closing Date, including pursuant to
        Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state,
        local, or foreign law or regulation, and (iv) any and all Taxes of any
        person (other than the Company and the Subsidiaries) imposed on the
        Company or any of the Subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by
        contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate
        to an event or transaction occurring before the Auburn Closing.

                (b)     TAX RETURNS. (i) PRE-CLOSING TAX PERIODS. Kellwood shall
        include the income of the Company (including any deferred items
        triggered into income by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-13 and any
        excess loss account taken into income under Treasury Regulation Section
        1.1502-19), and the income of its Subsidiaries (to the extent applicable
        pursuant to Code Section 951 (or any analogous or similar state or local
        law or regulation)), on Kellwood's consolidated federal income Tax
        Returns for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and for an allocable portion of
        all Pre-Closing Straddle Periods, and pay any federal income Taxes
        attributable to such income. Kellwood (at its sole cost and expense)
        shall duly prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be
        filed, on a timely basis, all Tax Returns required to be filed by each
        of the Company and the Subsidiaries with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax
        Period but which are not due until after the Auburn Closing Date, and
        all Group income and franchise Tax Returns ("FINAL GROUP RETURNS") which
        are required to include the Company's or any Subsidiary's items of
        income, gain, deduction, loss and credit for the Company's or any

                                                                              32
<PAGE>

        Subsidiary's Tax Period which ends on the Auburn Closing Date (the
        "FINAL GROUP ITEMS"), which items shall be determined in accordance with
        Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(i)(and any comparable
        provision of state, local or foreign Tax Laws), and not by ratable
        allocation under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii)(and
        any comparable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law). All such
        Tax Returns shall be complete, true and accurate in all material
        respects and shall be filed on a timely basis consistent with each of
        the Company's, the Subsidiaries, and each Tax Relevant Person's past
        practice in filing its Tax Returns. Any such Tax Returns that each of
        the Company and the Subsidiaries are required to file shall not be filed
        without the Buyers first having had a reasonable opportunity to review
        said Tax Returns of the Company or Subsidiaries, as the case may be.

The Sellers shall be obligated to timely pay and discharge, or cause to be
timely paid and discharged, and shall timely pay and discharge, or cause to be
timely paid and discharged, all Taxes required to be paid by each of the Company
and the Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, except to the extent and as long as: (a) the same are being
contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings pursued diligently and in
such a manner as not to cause any material adverse effect upon the condition
(financial or otherwise) or operations of the Company or the Subsidiaries; and
(b) each of the Company and the Subsidiaries shall have set aside on its books
and financial records as of the Auburn Closing Date the amount of such contested
Taxes.

If such a Tax Return must be signed on behalf of the Company or the
Subsidiaries, the Buyers shall promptly cause it to be so signed.

Unless Kellwood's written consent is first obtained, the Buyers shall not take
any action which would in any way alter the balance of Taxes owing or Tax
refunds or credits obtainable with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

                        (II)    STRADDLE PERIOD. The Buyers shall duly prepare,
or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns
required to be filed by each of the Company and the Subsidiaries for any Taxable
Period which includes but does not end on the Auburn Closing Date (a "STRADDLE
PERIOD"). For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period,
Taxes of each of the Company and the Subsidiaries ("PRE-CLOSING STRADDLE TAX
LIABILITY") for the Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall, where possible, be
computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the
Auburn Closing Date. For purposes of the foregoing, any items attributable to a
Straddle Period which cannot be taken into account in the manner so provided
shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period for purposes of
determining the Pre-Closing Straddle Tax Liability, pro rata, based upon the
number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period, as compared to the total
number of days in the Straddle Period, provided that if any Straddle Period Tax
is based on income, then such allocation shall be based upon the amount of net
income of each of the Company or the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, during
such Pre-Closing Straddle Period as compared to the total net income in the
Straddle Period. For the avoidance of doubt, Taxes or items attributable to the
cancellation of intercompany loans or indebtedness pursuant to Section 1.4 shall
be allocated to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period. Furthermore, for the avoidance
of doubt, Taxes imposed on the Buyer (or Buyer Affiliate) pursuant to Code
Section 951 (or any analogous or similar state or local law or regulation) shall
be allocable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period in an amount equal to the Taxes
which would be

                                                                              33
<PAGE>

imposed on the Company pursuant to Code Section 951 (or any analogous or similar
state or local law or regulation) with respect to the Subsidiaries as if the
Auburn Closing Date were the last day of each Subsidiary's taxable year (and
taking into account Code Section 951(a)(2)(B)) (a "HYPOTHETICAL TAX PERIOD"),
and computed as if such Hypothetical Tax Period ended as of the close of
business on the Auburn Closing Date. Unless otherwise indicated, a Pre-Closing
Straddle Period shall be treated as a "Pre-Closing Tax Period" for purposes of
this Agreement.

                (c)     REFUNDS. (i) Buyers agree to pay to Sellers any refund
        received after the Auburn Closing Date by the Company or any Subsidiary,
        in respect of any Taxes for which Sellers are liable under Section
        5.1(a). The parties shall cooperate in order to take all necessary steps
        to claim any such refund. Any such refund received by a party for the
        account of the other party shall be paid to such party within thirty
        (30) days after such refund is received.

                        (ii)    Sellers and Buyers agree that any payment made
                with respect to Taxes pursuant to this Section 5.1(c) shall be
                treated by the parties on their Tax Returns as an adjustment to
                the Purchase Price.

                        (iii)   If, contrary to the intent of the parties as
                expressed hereof, any payment made pursuant to this Section
                5.1(c) is treated as taxable income of the recipient, then the
                payor shall indemnify and hold harmless the recipient from any
                liability for Taxes attributable to the recipient of such
                payment. For purposes of this Section, the indemnified party
                will be considered to be liable for Tax in respect of any
                payment treated as taxable income at the highest marginal tax
                rate then in effect for corporations in the jurisdiction so
                characterizing the payment for the year such payment is
                considered to be earned by the indemnified party.

                (d)     If there is a Tax Audit adjustment relating to any
        Pre-Closing Tax Period and any Tax Period of the Company or Subsidiaries
        beginning after the Auburn Closing Date (a "POST-CLOSING TAX PERIOD")
        which is the result of an income or deduction timing difference, the
        parties will use best efforts to minimize any potential penalties
        associated with any additional Tax and interest attributable to the
        Audit adjustment and there shall be an adjusting payment by (i) the
        party as to whom the liability for Taxes for which that party is
        responsible is decreased as a result of the adjustment to (ii) the party
        as to whom the liability for Taxes for which that party is responsible
        is increased as a result of the adjustment, such payment to be in the
        amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such decrease or the amount
        of such increase.

                (e)     COOPERATION ON TAX MATTERS. Each party will provide, or
        cause to be provided, to the other party copies of all correspondence
        received from any taxing authority by such party or any of its
        affiliates in connection with the liability of the Company or any
        Subsidiary for Taxes for any period for which such other party is or may
        be liable under paragraph (a) of Section 5.1. The parties will provide
        each other with such cooperation and information as they may reasonably
        request of each other in preparing or filing any Tax Return or claim for
        refund, in determining a liability or a right of refund or in conducting
        any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes imposed on the parties
        or their respective affiliates. The parties and their affiliates will
        preserve and retain all Tax Returns, schedules, work papers and all
        material records or other documents relating to any such Tax Returns,
        claims, audits or other proceedings until the later of six months after
        the expiration of the applicable limitations period on assessment with
        respect to any such Taxes, or the final resolution of all Audits or
        litigation

                                                                              34
<PAGE>

        initiated prior to the expiration of the applicable limitations period
        and shall make such documents available to the other party or any
        affiliate thereof, and their respective officers, employees and agents,
        upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, it being understood that
        such representatives shall be entitled to make copies of any such books
        and records relating to the Subsidiary as they shall deem necessary. Any
        information obtained pursuant to this Section 5.1(e) shall be kept
        confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with
        the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting any
        audit or other proceeding. Each party shall provide the cooperation and
        information required by this 5.1(e) at its own expense.

                (f)     AUDITS. With respect to Audits relating to Pre-Closing
        Tax Periods (other than Pre-Closing Straddle Periods) (a "PRE-CLOSING
        AUDIT") Kellwood shall control (at its expense) all proceedings and may
        make all decisions taken in connection therewith at Kellwood's sole
        discretion, provided that any such proceeding and any such decision
        taken in connection therewith does not increase the Tax liability for
        any Straddle Period or any Post-Closing Tax Period. Otherwise, no such
        decision shall be implemented or effectuated without the prior written
        consent of the Buyers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
        or delayed). Kellwood shall keep the Buyers fully apprised of all
        aspects of any such Pre-Closing Audit with respect to each of the
        Company and the Subsidiaries. With respect to any such Pre-Closing
        Audit, the Buyers shall cause the Company and Subsidiaries to cooperate
        fully with Sellers and their counsel and to furnish Kellwood with the
        usual form of power of attorney (IRS Form 2848) and provide to Kellwood
        such records and information as may be necessary for Kellwood to control
        such Pre-Closing Audit proceeding.

                (g)     TAX SHARING AGREEMENTS. The Sellers shall cause all Tax
        allocation agreements or Tax sharing agreements with respect to the
        Company or the Subsidiaries to be terminated as of immediately prior to
        the Auburn Closing Date and shall ensure that such agreements are of no
        further force or effect as to the Company or the Subsidiaries on and
        after the Auburn Closing Date and there shall be no further liability of
        Company under any such agreement.

                (h)     338(G) ELECTION. The Buyer shall not make an election
        under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to Spainco without the
        consent of Kellwood (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

                (i)     CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For purposes of Section 3.22 and
        Section 5.1, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

                        (i)     "Audit" shall mean any audit, assessment of

                other proceeding or litigation) relating to Taxes and/or Tax
                Returns.

                        (ii)    "Final Group Items" shall have the meaning set

                forth in Section 5.1(b).

                                                                              35

                (a)     by mutual consent of Buyers and Sellers;

                (b)     by Buyers if there has been a material
        misrepresentation, material breach of warranty or material breach of a
        covenant by Sellers in the representations and warranties or covenants
        set forth in this Agreement, the Related Documents or the Schedules and
        Exhibits attached hereto, which has not been cured within 20 days after
        written notification thereof by the Buyers to Sellers;

                (c)     by Sellers if there has been a material
        misrepresentation, material breach of warranty or material breach of a
        covenant by the Buyers in the representations and warranties or
        covenants set forth in this Agreement, the Related Documents or the
        Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto, which in the case of any breach
        of covenant has not been cured within 20 days after written notification
        thereof by Sellers to the Buyers;

                (d)     by either Buyers or Sellers by giving written notice of
        such termination on the Auburn Closing Date to the other (the "NOTIFIED
        PARTY") if, as of the Auburn Closing Date, any condition precedent to
        the performance of the obligations of the party giving such notice shall
        not have been satisfied and shall not have been waived by such party;
        provided, however, that the Notified Party shall be allowed twenty (20)
        days within which to satisfy any such unsatisfied condition precedent;
        and provided, further, so long as the party giving such notice shall not
        be in material default hereunder; or

                (e)     by either Buyers or Sellers by notice to the other, if
        the Auburn Closing shall not have been consummated on or before November
        14, 2003, unless extended by written agreement of the parties hereto.

        9.2.    EFFECT OF TERMINATION WITHOUT DEFAULT. If this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, without any breach or default under
this Agreement by a party all further obligations of the parties hereto shall
cease and terminate without liability of any party hereto to another party
hereto.

        9.3.    FAILURE TO CLOSE BECAUSE OF DEFAULT. In the event that this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1 by reason of a breach or default
of a representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement, the Related
Documents or the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto, the parties shall have
and retain all of the rights afforded them at law or in equity by reason of that
breach or default, and the provisions set forth in this Section 9.3 shall
survive such termination.

        9.4.    NO PUBLICITY. Neither the Company, Sellers nor the Buyers shall
make or issue, or cause to be made or issued, any announcement or written
statement concerning termination of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby for dissemination to the general public without the prior
written consent of the other party except as required by law (including
applicable federal and foreign securities laws) or legal process.

                          SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

        10.1.   SURVIVAL. All representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement or in each of the Related Documents delivered pursuant hereto, shall
survive the Auburn Closing hereunder and any investigation heretofore made by or
on behalf of any party, and shall be fully effective and enforceable for a
period of two (2) years following the Auburn Closing Date (unless a different
period is specifically assigned thereto), but shall thereafter be of no further
force or effect, except as they relate to claims alleging fraud on the part of a
party hereto. Any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article X asserted
in writing before the second anniversary of the Auburn Closing Date or other
applicable survival period shall survive until resolved or judicially
determined. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any representations or warranties
regarding Sections 3.1 ("Authority"), 3.2 ("Validity"), 3.4 ("Capital Stock"),
3.5 ("Due Organization"), 3.15 ("Real Estate"), 3.22 ("Taxes"), 3.39 ("United
States Employee Benefits") or 3.30 ("Other Countries' Employee Benefits"), and
Sellers' and Company's indemnification obligations with respect thereto shall
survive for thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations
period applicable thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any representations or
warranties regarding Section 3.26 ("Environmental Matters") shall survive for
five (5) years.

        10.2.   INDEMNIFICATION.

                (a)     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article X,
        each of Buyers, jointly and severally, on the one hand, and Sellers,
        jointly and severally, on the other, covenant and agree to indemnify and
        hold harmless the other and their respective Affiliates (including any
        successor or assign, officer, director, shareholder, partner, member,
        employee, agent or representative of any thereof, as the case may be)
        from and against any and all assessments, penalties, losses, damages,
        liabilities, costs and expense (including court costs, amounts paid in
        settlement, judgments, reasonable attorneys' fees or other expenses for
        investigating and defending), suit, action, claim, liability or
        obligation (collectively, "DAMAGES") (together with interest at a
        floating interest rate equal at all times to the rate of interest
        published from time to time by Bank of America

                                                                              45

        as the "PRIME RATE" from the date upon which the Damages were incurred
        to the date of payment) with respect to, related to, caused by or
        arising from any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to
        fulfill any covenant or agreement of, such Indemnitor contained in or
        made pursuant to this Agreement, Schedule or Related Document.

                (b)     Sellers, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to
        indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates from and against
        any Environmental Liabilities incurred by Buyer relating to violations
        of Environmental Laws or Releases of Hazardous Substances occurring
        prior to the Closing from or onto (i) any property presently or formerly
        owned, leased or managed by the Company, any Subsidiary or a predecessor
        in interest, or (ii) any facility which received Hazardous Substances
        generated by the Company, any Subsidiary or a predecessor in interest
        including but without limitation, those conditions referenced in the
        Phase I Environmental Studies prepared for the Company's facilities in
        Adairville and Auburn, Kentucky, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Sellers shall
        have no obligation to indemnify or reimburse Buyer and its Affiliates
        for the Remedial Actions identified on SCHEDULE 1.3 under the headings
        entitled "Environmental Decommissioning," "IPC License" and
        "Environmental Contingency (Oil Spill)" unless, and only to the extent
        that, such Remedial Actions exceed the aggregate of the specific dollar
        amounts specified therein (i.e., $466,000) plus an allowable increase up
        of up to 20% of such amount for documented, unanticipated costs and
        expenses associated therewith (the "REMEDIAL ACTION INDEMNIFICATION
        EXCEPTION AMOUNT"). For avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the
        Remedial Action Indemnification Exception Amount exceed $559,200.

                (c)       Sellers, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to
        indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates from and against
        any claim or allowance in the form of a rebate, credit or otherwise by
        Walmart or its affiliates in respect of sales by the Company or any of
        its Subsidiaries to Walmart or its affiliates prior to the Auburn
        Closing.

                (d)     Sellers, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to
        indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and the Company,
        from and against any claims, contributions or other liabilities that are
        controlled group liabilities under ERISA and related laws that are
        imposed upon the Company as a result of the Company's status as a member
        of any Seller's controlled group.

                (e)     Kellwood and its affiliate, Gerber Childrenswear, Inc.
        have made certain guarantees on behalf of the Company and its
        Subsidiaries, as set forth on SCHEDULE 10.2 (D) (the "GUARANTEES").
        Buyers, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to indemnify and hold
        harmless Sellers and their Affiliates from and against any and all
        liability of Sellers related to each Guaranty.

        10.3.   NOTICE OF CLAIMS. Any party seeking indemnification (the
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party
(the "INDEMNITOR") of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim (the
"NOTICE") for which such indemnified party intends to assert a right to
indemnification under this Agreement (collectively, "CLAIMS"). Failure to give
such notice shall not relieve the

                                                                              46
<PAGE>

Indemnitor of any obligations which the Indemnitor may have to the Indemnified
Party under this Article X, except to the extent that such failure has
prejudiced the Indemnitor under the provisions for indemnification contained in
this Agreement. The Indemnitor shall reimburse an Indemnified Party promptly
after delivery of a Notice certifying that the Indemnified Party has incurred
Damages after compliance with the terms of this Article X; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
the party receiving the Notice shall have the option to contest any such Damages
or its obligations to indemnify therefor in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, at such party's own cost and expense. Such option shall be exercised
by the giving of notice by the exercising party to the other party within twenty
(20) days of receipt of a Notice.

        10.4.   CONDITIONS OF INDEMNIFICATION OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS. The
obligations and liabilities of an Indemnitor under Section 10.3 hereof with
respect to Damages resulting from Claims by persons not party to this Agreement
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

                (a)     Promptly after delivery of a Notice in respect of a
        Claim and subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.4, the Indemnitor
        may elect, by written notice to the Indemnified Party, to undertake the
        defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
        Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor
        chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with
        all reasonable requests of the Indemnitor and shall make available to
        the Indemnitor any books, records or other documents within its control
        that are necessary or appropriate for such defense.

                (b)     In the event that the Indemnitor, within a reasonable
        time after receipt of a Notice, does not so elect to defend such Claim,
        the Indemnified Party will have the right (upon further notice to the
        Indemnitor) to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such
        Claim for the account of the Indemnitor, subject to the right of the
        Indemnitor to assume the defense of such Claim pursuant to the terms of
        paragraph (a) of this Section 10.4 at any time prior to settlement,
        compromise or final determination thereof, PROVIDED, that the Indemnitor
        reimburses in full all costs of the Indemnified Party (including
        reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection
        with such defense prior to such assumption.

                (c)     Anything in this Section 10.4 to the contrary
        notwithstanding, (i) if the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Claim,
        any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense,
        compromise or settlement of such Claim with counsel of its own choice at
        its own expense, (ii) no person who has undertaken to defend a Claim
        under Section 10.4(a) hereof shall, without written consent of the
        Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to entry of
        any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
        release by the claimant or the plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from
        all liability arising from events which allegedly give rise to such
        Claim.

        10.5.   LIMITATIONS ON THE SELLERS' INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION.

                                                                              47
<PAGE>

                (a)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided
        elsewhere in this Agreement, the obligations of any Indemnitor under
        this Agreement to indemnify any Indemnified Party with respect to any
        Claim pursuant to Section 10.2 shall be of no force and forever barred
        unless the Indemnified Party has given the Indemnitor notice of such
        claim prior to the second anniversary of the Auburn Closing Date,
        provided that there shall be no time limit for Claims made for a breach
        of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1
        ("Authority"), 3.2 ("Validity"), 3.4 ("Capital Stock"), 3.5 ("Due
        Organization"), 3.14 ("Real Estate"), 3.22 ("Taxes"), 3.29 ("United
        States Employee Benefits") and 3.30 ("Other Countries' Employee
        Benefits"). In any event, the parties shall fully cooperate with each
        other and their respective counsel in accordance with Section 10.4 in
        connection with any such litigation, defense, settlement or other
        attempted resolution. The obligations of any Indemnitor under this
        Agreement for breaches of the representations and warranties contained
        in Section 3.26 ("Environmental Matters") shall be barred unless notice
        is received prior to the fifth anniversary of the Auburn Closing Date.

                (b)     Sellers shall not be liable, and Buyers agree not to
        enforce any Claim, for indemnification under this Agreement until the
        aggregate amount of all such Damages for which Sellers would otherwise
        be required to provide indemnification for such Claims exceeds $250,000
        (the "THRESHOLD AMOUNT"), at which time the Buyers shall be entitled to
        recover only the amount of such Claims in excess of the Threshold
        Amount. Buyers shall provide Sellers with Notice of all Claims included
        in the Threshold Amount. In no event shall Sellers' indemnification
        obligation exceed the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section
        1.3(a) (the "Cap"). The Threshold Amount and the Cap shall not apply to
        indemnification obligations for Damages in connection with a breach of
        the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Sections 3.22
        ("Taxes"), 3.26 ("Environmental Matters") and 5.1 ("Tax Matters") or
        Claims for indemnification pursuant to Sections 10.2(b), 10.2(c) and
        10.2(d); PROVIDED, FURTHER, the Threshold Amount shall not apply to
        indemnification obligations for Damages in connection with a breach of
        the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Sections 3.1
        ("Authority"), 3.2 ("Validity"), 3.4 ("Capital Stock") and 3.5 ("Due
        Organization").

        10.6.   TREATMENT OF INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENTS. All indemnification
payments made pursuant to this Article X shall be treated by the Buyers and
Sellers as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by law.

        10.7    SPAINCO. For purposes of this Article IX, Spainco's
indemnification obligations as a Seller shall terminate as of the Auburn
Closing.

and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. The failure of
any party at any time or times to require performance of any provisions hereof
shall in no manner affect that party's right at a later time to enforce the
same. No waiver by any party of the breach of any term or covenant contained in
this Agreement or the Related Documents in any one or more instances shall be
deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such
breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in
this Agreement or the Related Documents. Waivers may be made in advance or after
the right occurred has arisen or the breach or default waived has occurred. Any
waiver may be conditional.

        11.3.   EXPENSES. Buyers shall pay up to $500,000 of the transfer fee,

connection with the transaction contemplated in this Agreement. Buyers shall pay
any other fees or expenses that Buyers deem reasonable and that are payable to

expenses payable to any licensor that arises as a result of the transaction

party to this Agreement shall pay its own costs and expenses in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby. If any action is brought by either party

Buyers from its duties and obligations hereunder. This Agreement does not create
any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any person that is not a party hereto
nor create or establish any third-party beneficiary hereto.

                                                                              50

herein contain the entire understanding among the parties with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all other agreements,
understandings and undertakings among the parties on the subject matter hereof;
provided, however, that the provisions contained in the Confidentiality
Agreement dated February 28, 2003, shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until the Auburn Closing
contemplated hereby is consummated. All exhibits and schedules hereto are hereby
incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

        11.7.   APPLICABLE LAW.

                (a)     The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement
        constitutes a contract pertaining to a transaction covering in the
        aggregate not less than $1,000,000 and that their choice of law and
        choice of jurisdiction specified below have been made pursuant to and in
        accordance with Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402, respectively, of the New
        York General Obligations Law. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and
        agree that this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
        New York, as to all matters including, but not limited to, matters of
        validity, construction, effect, performance and liability, without
        consideration of conflicts of laws provisions contained therein, and the
        courts of the State of New York have exclusive jurisdiction of all
        disputes with respect to an alleged breach of any representation,
        warranty, agreement or covenant of this Agreement, including, but not
        limited to, any dispute relating to the construction or interpretation
        of the rights and obligations of any party, which is not resolved
        through discussion between the parties.

                (b)     The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
