     4.     REPRESENTATIONS,  COVENANTS  AND  WARRANTIES
            --------------------------------------------

          Pledgor  hereby covenants, represents and warrants with and to Pledgee

          (e)     If  Pledgor  shall  receive,  have  registered  in its name or
become  entitled to receive or acquire, or have registered in its name any stock
certificate,  option,  or  right  with  respect  to the securities of any Issuer
(including  without  limitation,  any  certificate  representing a dividend or a
distribution  or  exchange  of or in connection with any reclassification of the
Pledged  Securities)  whether  as  an  addition  to,  in  substitution of, or in
exchange  for  any  of  the  Pledged  Property, Pledgor agrees to accept same as
Pledgee's agent, to hold same in trust for Pledgee and to deliver same forthwith
to  Pledgee  or  Pledgee's  agent  or  bailee  in  the  form  received, with the
endorsement(s)  of  Pledgor  where  necessary  and/or  appropriate powers and/or
assignments  duly  executed  to  be held by Pledgee or Pledgee's agent or bailee
subject  to  the  terms  hereof,  or  if any of the foregoing is uncertificated,
register same with the Pledgee's security interest noted therein, all as further
security  for  the  Obligations;

          (f)     Pledgor  shall  not  directly  or  indirectly  sell,  assign,

hypothecation,  encumbrance, lien, mortgage or security interest with respect to
the  Pledged  Property;

          (g)     So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Pledgor  shall  have  the right to vote and exercise all corporate rights and to
receive  cash  dividends  or real or personal property distributed by any Issuer
with  respect  to the Pledged Securities, provided that any stock of any Issuer,
or  any  options  with  respect  to stock of any Issuer, so distributed shall be
delivered  to Pledgee or otherwise made subject to the security interest therein

shares  of capital stock of the Issuer or any option or warrant with respect to,
or  other  right  or security convertible into, any additional shares of capital
stock  of  such  Issuer, now or hereafter authorized, unless all such additional
shares,  options,  warrants,  rights or other such securities are made and shall
remain  part  of  the  Pledged  Property  subject to the first priority security
interest  granted  herein.

     5.     EVENTS  OF  DEFAULT
            -------------------

          All  Obligations  shall  become  immediately  due and payable, without
notice  or  demand,  at the option of Pledgee, upon the occurrence of any one or
more  defaults  or  events  of  default  under this Pledge Agreement, the Credit
Agreement,  or  any  other  Financing  Agreement  (each  an  "Event  of Default"
hereunder).

     6.     REMEDIES  AFTER  DEFAULT
            ------------------------

          Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the
continuance  thereof,  in  addition  to all other rights and remedies of Pledgee
whether provided under law, the Credit Agreement, the other Financing Agreements
or  otherwise, Pledgee shall have the following rights and remedies which may be
exercised  without  notice to, or consent by, the Pledgor, except as such notice
or  consent  is  expressly  provided  for  hereunder:

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
          (a)     Pledgee,  at  its  option,  shall be empowered to exercise its
continuing  right  to instruct the Issuers (or the appropriate transfer agent of
the  Pledged  Securities)  to register any or all of the Pledged Property in the
name  of  Pledgee or in the name of Pledgee's nominee, and Pledgee may complete,
in  any manner Pledgee may deem expedient, any and all stock powers, assignments
or  other  documents  heretofore  or  hereafter executed in blank by Pledgor and
delivered to Pledgee and, in furtherance of the foregoing, Pledgor shall execute
and deliver to Pledgee together herewith a Special Power of Attorney in the form
of  EXHIBIT  1  hereto.  After  said  instruction,  and  without further notice,
Pledgee may exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged
Securities  and  may  exercise  any  and  all  rights of conversion, redemption,
exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to
any  shares  of  the  Pledged  Securities  as if Pledgee were the absolute owner
thereof, including without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion,
any  and  all  of  the  Pledged  Securities  upon  any  merger,  consolidation,
reorganization,  recapitalization  or  other  readjustment with respect thereto.
Upon  the exercise of any such rights, privileges or options by Pledgee, Pledgee
shall  have  the  right  to  deposit  and  deliver  any  and  all of the Pledged
Securities  to  any  committee,  depository,  transfer agent, registrar or other
designated  agency  upon such terms and conditions as Pledgee may determine, all
without  liability.  However,  Pledgee shall have no duty to exercise any of the
aforesaid  rights,  privileges  or  options and shall not be responsible for any
failure  to  do  so  or  delay  in  doing  so.

          (b)     In  addition  to  all  of the rights and remedies of a secured
party  under  the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, Pledgee shall
have  the  right, at any time and without demand of performance or other demand,
advertisement  or  notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time
and  place  of  public  or private sale) to or upon Pledgor, or any other Person
(all  and  each  of  which  demands,  advertisements  and/or  notices are hereby
expressly  waived  to  the  extent  permitted  by  law), to proceed forthwith to
collect, redeem, receive, appropriate, sell, or otherwise dispose of and deliver
the  Pledged  Property  or  any  part  thereof  in one or more lots at public or
private  sale  or  sales  at  any exchange, brokers board or at any of Pledgee's
offices  or elsewhere at such prices and on such terms as Pledgee may deem best.
The foregoing disposition(s) may be for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk by Pledgee, with Pledgee and/or any Lender
having the right to purchase all or any part of said Pledged Property so sold at
any  such  sale  or  sales,  public  or  private, free of any right or equity of
redemption  in  Pledgor,  which  right  or  equity is hereby expressly waived or
released by Pledgor.  The proceeds of any such collection, redemption, recovery,
receipt,  appropriation,  realization  or  sale,  after  deducting all costs and
expenses  of  every  kind  incurred  relative thereto or incidental to the care,
safekeeping  or otherwise of any and all Pledged Property or in any way relating
to  the  rights  of Pledgee hereunder (including, without limitation, appraisal,
accountants, and reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) shall be applied
in  such  order and manner as Pledgee shall determine.  Pledgor agrees that five
(5)  days  prior  notice  by  Pledgee,  sent by certified mail, postage prepaid,
designating  the  date  after  which  a  private sale may take place or a public
auction  may  be  held,  is  reasonable  notification  of  such  matters.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
          (c)     Pledgor  recognizes  that  Pledgee may be unable to  effect  a
public  sale  of  all  or  part  of  the  Pledged Property by reason of  certain
prohibitions  contained  in  the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended, as now or
hereafter  in effect or in applicable Blue Sky or other state securities law, as
now  or  hereafter  in  effect,  but  may  be compelled to resort to one or more
private  sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree,
among  other  things, to acquire such Pledged Property for their own account for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  If at the
time of any sale of the Pledged Property or any part thereof, the same shall not
be  effectively  registered  (if  required) under the Securities Act of 1933 (or
other  applicable  state  securities law) as then in effect, Pledgee in its sole
and absolute discretion is authorized to sell the Pledged Property, or such part
thereof,  by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Pledgee
or  its  counsel  may  deem  necessary  or advisable in order that such sale may
legally  be effected without registration.  Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that
private  sales  so  made  may be at prices and other terms less favorable to the
seller  than  if the Pledged Property were sold at public sale, and that Pledgee
has  no  obligation  to delay the sale of any Pledged Property for the period of
time necessary to permit the Issuer of the Pledged Property, even if such Issuer
would  agree,  to  register  the  Pledged  Property  for  public sale under such
applicable  securities  laws.  Pledgor  acknowledges and agrees that any private
sales  made  under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been in a
commercially  reasonable  manner.

          (d)     All  of  the  Pledgee's  and  Lenders'  rights  and  remedies,
including  but  not  limited  to the foregoing and those otherwise arising under
this Pledge Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, the
instruments  and  securities  comprising the Pledged Property, applicable law or
otherwise,  shall  be  cumulative  and  not  exclusive  and shall be enforceable
alternatively,  successively or concurrently as Pledgee and the Lenders may deem
expedient.  No  failure  or  delay  on  the  part  of  Pledgee  or any Lender in
exercising  any  of  its options, powers or rights or partial or single exercise
thereof,  shall  constitute  a  waiver  of  such  option,  power  or  right.

     7.     FURTHER  ASSURANCES
            -------------------

     Pledgor agrees that at any time, and from time to time, upon the request of
Pledgee,  Pledgor will execute and deliver such further documents, including but
not  limited  to  stock  powers, or other appropriate instruments of transfer in
form  reasonably  satisfactory to counsel for Pledgee, and will take or cause to
be  taken such further acts as Pledgee may reasonably request in order to effect
the  purposes of this Pledge Agreement and perfect or continue the perfection of
the  security interest in the Pledged Property granted to Pledgee hereunder, for
itself  and  the  ratable benefit of Lenders, in conformity with applicable law.

     8.     MISCELLANEOUS
            -------------

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
          (a)     Pledgee  or  Pledgee's  agent  or bailee shall have no duty or
liability  to  protect  or  preserve  any rights pertaining thereto and shall be
relieved  of all responsibility for the Pledged Property upon surrendering it to
Pledgor.  Upon  the  termination of the Credit Agreement and all other Financing
Agreements  and  the  indefeasible  payment  in  full  of  the Obligations, this
Agreement  shall,  at  Pledgor's request and sole expense, terminate and Pledgee
shall  execute  and  deliver  all  instruments  as may be necessary or proper to
return  or  release  its  security  interest  in  the  Pledged  Property.

          (b)     No  course  of  dealing  between  Pledgor  and  Pledgee or any
Lender, nor any failure or delay by Pledgee or any Lender to exercise any right,
power  or  privilege  under this Pledge Agreement, the Credit Agreement or under
any  of  the  other  Financing  Agreements,  shall operate as a waiver hereof or
thereof;  nor  shall  any  single  or  partial  exercise  of any right, power or
privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or  the  exercise  of  any  other  right,  power or privilege.  No waiver of any
provision  of  this Pledge Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be
in  writing  and signed by Pledgee, and then such waiver shall be effective only
in  the  specific  instance  and  for  the  purpose  for  which  given.

          (c)     This Pledge Agreement may not be changed, modified or amended,
in  whole  or  in  part,  except  by  a  writing  signed by Pledgor and Pledgee.

          (d)     The  provisions of this Pledge Agreement are severable, and if
any  clause  or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole
or  in  part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall
attach  only  to  such  clause  or  provision  in  any such jurisdiction or part
thereof,  and  shall  not  in  any manner affect such clause or provision in any
other  jurisdiction or any other clause or provision in this Pledge Agreement in
any  jurisdiction.

          (e)     EACH  PARTY  TO  THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES
ANY  RIGHT  TO  TRIAL  BY  JURY  OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION
ARISING  UNDER  THIS  PLEDGE  AGREEMENT  OR  ANY  OTHER  INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR
AGREEMENT  EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED
WITH  OR  RELATED  OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF
THEM  WITH RESPECT TO THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR
AGREEMENT  EXECUTED  OR  DELIVERED  IN  CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED  HERETO  OR  THERETO  IN  EACH  CASE  WHETHER  NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER
ARISING,  AND  WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY
HEREBY  CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE
DECIDED  BY  COURT  TRIAL  WITHOUT  A  JURY,  AND  THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS PLEDGE
AGREEMENT  MAY  FILE  AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY
COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF
THEIR  RIGHT  TO  TRIAL  BY  JURY.

                                      -7-

          (f)     This  Pledge  Agreement  shall inure to the benefit of Pledgee
and  Lenders  and  their  respective  successors and assigns permitted under the
Credit  Agreement,  and  shall  be  binding  upon Pledgor and its successors and
assigns until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the
Credit  Agreement  and  all  other  Financing  Agreements  have been terminated.

          (g)     In  the  event  any term or provision of this Pledge Agreement
conflicts with any term or provision of any other Financing Agreement, such term
or  provision  of  the  Pledge  Agreement  shall  control.

          (h)     Any  notice  or  other  communication  required  or  permitted
pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 15.6 of the
Credit  Agreement.

     9.     GOVERNING  LAW
            --------------

     This Pledge Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the  laws  of  the State of New York applied to contracts to be performed wholly

Pledgor  with  respect  to  any of the Obligations, this Pledge Agreement or any
related  agreement  may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the

personal  service  of  any  and  all  process upon it and consents that all such
service  of  process may be made by certified or registered mail (return receipt
requested)  directed  to  Pledgor  at its address set forth in Section 8(h), and
service  so  made  shall  be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall
have  been  so  deposited in the mails of the United States of America.  Nothing
herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or
shall  limit  the  right  of  Pledgee or any Lender to bring proceedings against
Pledgor  in  the courts of any other jurisdiction.  Pledgor waives any objection
to  jurisdiction  and  venue  of  any  action instituted hereunder and shall not

            Re:     Termination of Lease  Agreement  dated September 1,
                    1998 (the "Lease") by  and  between  Delta Woodside
                    Industries, Inc.,  a  South  Carolina   corporation

                    Carolina corporation ("Landlord")

Dear  233  North  Main,  Inc.:

     This  letter  agreement  shall  serve  to  evidence Tenant's and Landlord's
agreement  regarding  the termination of the above-referenced Lease.  Unless the
tenancy is continued as permitted herein, Tenant agrees to peacefully vacate and
surrender the Premises to Landlord no later than the end of business on June 30,
2000  (the "Termination Date").  On or before the Termination Date, Tenant shall
pay Landlord One Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Two Hundred Sixty Eight and No/100
Dollars  ($135,268.00)  (the  "Termination  Fee").  In the event Tenant requires
space  within the currently leased premises after the Termination Date, Landlord
agrees  to  lease the same to Tenant on a month-to-month basis at a Minimum Rent
(as  that  term is defined in the Lease) of Fourteen Dollars ($14.00) per square
foot  per  year  (plus  certain  other expenses as required under the Lease) and
otherwise  according to the terms and conditions of the Lease.   Upon the latter
of  payment  of the Termination Fee or vacation and surrender of the Premises as
described  above,  the Lease shall automatically be terminated and of no further
force  and  effect.

     This  termination  letter  agreement  shall  be binding on and inure to the
benefit of both Tenant and Landlord and their respective successors and assigns.

     All  terms capitalized herein which are not defined shall have the meanings
ascribed  to  them  in  the  Lease.

authorized  representative  of  Landlord  to  sign  below  where  indicated.
