                                                                   -------------

         AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the 1st day of November, 2001,
between BURLINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter
sometimes referred to as the "Corporation"), and James R. McCallum (hereinafter
referred to as "Executive").

         WHEREAS, the Corporation and Executive desire to enter into an
Employment Agreement effective November 1, 2001, this Agreement to supersede in
its entirety the present employment agreement, if any, between the parties;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter
contained, the Corporation and Executive hereby agree as follows:

         l. The Corporation agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to
serve the Corporation, upon the terms hereinafter set forth.

         2. The employment of Executive hereunder shall commence November 1,
2001 and continue until October 31, 2003, unless earlier terminated under the
provisions of Paragraphs 6, 7 or 8 of this Agreement.

         3. Executive agrees to serve the Corporation faithfully and to the best
of his ability under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Corporation,
devoting his entire time, energy and skill during regular business hours
performing the duties assigned by the Board.

         4. The Corporation agrees to pay to Executive during the period of the
term hereof salary for his services at the rate (the "Annual Rate", which Annual
Rate shall refer to any subsequent increase in the rate of compensation of
Executive granted by the Corporation during the term of this Agreement) of Two
Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars ($255,000) per annum, payable in equal
monthly or other more frequent installments in accordance with the general
practice of the Corporation for salaried senior employees.

         5. The Corporation may from time to time pay additional incentive
compensation to certain executives when and if authorized by the Board of
Directors or the appropriate Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation. Executive is deemed to be a valuable executive of the Corporation
and will be considered for payment of such incentive compensation in all years
that the Board determines that such compensation should be paid to senior and
key employees generally. It is expressly understood that the amount of any
additional compensation is entirely in the discretion of the Corporation, and
nothing herein shall be construed as a promise or obligation to pay any
additional compensation to Executive whatsoever. If sums are paid to Executive
as additional compensation in any year, such payment shall not create an
obligation to pay additional compensation to Executive in any past or succeeding
year. No payments to Executive

<PAGE>

                                       2

of additional compensation, if any, shall reduce or be applied against the
salary to be paid to Executive pursuant to Paragraph 4 hereof.

         6. If, during the term of this Agreement, Executive shall become
physically or mentally incapable of fully performing services required of him in
accordance with his obligations under Paragraph 3 of this Agreement, and such
incapacity is, or may reasonably be expected to exist, for more than two months
in the aggregate during any period of twelve consecutive months, as shall be
determined by a physician mutually agreed upon by the Corporation and Executive
(or Executive's legal representative if Executive is incapable of making such
determination), which determination shall be final and conclusive, the
Corporation may, upon notice to Executive, terminate this Agreement and his
employment hereunder, and upon such termination, Executive shall be entitled to
receive (i) cash compensation at the Annual Rate for a period of six months and
(ii) shall receive benefits as provided under Paragraph 7(b)(iii) below for such
six-month period. Executive agrees to accept such payment in full discharge and
release of the Corporation, its subsidiaries and their management, of and from
any and all further obligations and liabilities to him under Paragraph 4 hereof
(including any liability for payments under the Corporation-funded disability
insurance program).

         7. (a)   The Corporation may in its sole discretion at any time
terminate Executive's employment under this Agreement, whether for cause or
without cause.

            (b)   Other than under the circumstances described in paragraph 8
below, in the event of (1) an involuntary termination of employment of Executive
without Cause or (2) a voluntary termination of employment by Executive for Good
Reason, Executive shall receive (in lieu of any payment under the Corporation's
Severance Policy), as soon as practicable following such termination:

            (i)   salary accrued through the date of termination at the Annual
Rate;

            (ii)  a lump sum payment in cash equal to (x) the salary that would
have been payable under Paragraph 4 above during the Severance Period (as
defined below) plus (y) an amount (the "Bonus Equivalent") equal to the number
of years in the Severance Period times the amount established, for the year
during which such termination occurs, as the Executive's target incentive
payment under the Corporation's annual cash incentive plan approved by the Board
of Directors with respect to such year; and

            (iii) either (x) Executive shall continue, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, as a participating member or beneficiary in all of the
benefit and welfare plans of the Corporation in which Executive participated
immediately prior to the date of termination or (y) the Corporation shall fund

                                       3

substantially equivalent benefits to the extent participation in such plans is
not permissible, and Executive shall be guaranteed service credit in such plans
(including, without limitation, for vesting purposes of the Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan), in either case (x) or (y) for the period equal to
the Severance Period. Executive's rights under this Clause (iii) shall cease
when Executive commences other employment and obtains coverage under other plans
on a substantially similar basis to those of the Corporation.

Except as expressly provided in this subparagraph 7(b), in all other respects,
Executive's rights under all of the benefit plans of the Corporation shall be
governed by the terms of such plans and not by the provisions of this Agreement.

            (c) In the event of an involuntary termination for Cause, Executive
shall only be entitled to payments under the Severance Policy and only if the
conduct giving rise to such termination was not, in the Corporation's sole
judgment, willful.

            (d) In the event that Executive's employment is terminated by the
Corporation or the Executive for any reason other than those set forth in
Paragraph 6 above, subparagraphs 7(b) or 7(c) or Paragraph 8 below, the
Corporation shall have no further obligation to Executive hereunder or under the
Severance Policy.

            (e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement,
Executive's obligations under Paragraphs 9 and 10 of this Agreement shall
survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

         8. (a) If within two years following a Change of Control, the
employment of Executive hereunder is terminated by the Corporation without
Cause, or is terminated by Executive for Good Reason, in either case other than
by reason of death or disability, the Corporation shall promptly (not later than
30 days) pay to Executive a lump sum payment in cash equal to (i) the then
salary of Executive at the Annual Rate times the number of years in the
Severance Period, plus (ii) the Bonus Equivalent times the number of years in
the Severance Period. In addition, following such termination of employment,
Executive shall continue for the number of years in the Severance Period, in the
manner set forth in subparagraph 7(b)(iii) above, to participate in, or the
Corporation shall fund substantially equivalent benefits, under the welfare and
benefit plans of the Corporation.

            (b) In the event that the payment by the Corporation of the payments
required in the preceding Paragraph would result in the Executive becoming
subject to the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, then the amount of payments made hereunder
shall be reduced to an amount which would maximize the after-tax payments to the
Executive of such amount. The determination of such

<PAGE>

                                        4

reduction amount, if any, shall be made by the Executive, with the advice of
Executive's tax or financial advisor.

         9.  Executive expressly agrees, as further consideration hereof and as
a condition to the performance by the Corporation and its subsidiary companies
of their obligations hereunder, that while employed by the Corporation or its
subsidiary companies and (1) during a period of six months following termination
of his employment, and (2) only in the event that Executive is receiving
severance payments and/or benefits under Paragraph 7(b) during the further
period commencing on the day following such six-month period and continuing
until the last day of the Severance Period, Executive will not directly or
indirectly render advisory services to or become employed by or participate or
engage in any business materially competitive with any of the businesses of the
Corporation and its subsidiary companies (Executive hereby acknowledging that
Executive has had access in his executive capacity to material information about
all of the Corporation's businesses) without first obtaining the written consent
of the Corporation. The period of non-competition established in clause (2)
above may be shortened, at the election of the Executive evidenced by a written
relinquishment satisfactory to the Corporation, of any remaining right to
severance payments under this Agreement, to a period ending on the last date as
of which such severance payments are earned.

         10. Executive agrees that, both during and after his employment
hereunder, he will not disclose to any person unless authorized to do so by the
Corporation, any of the Corporation's trade secrets or other information which
is confidential or secret. Trade secrets or confidential information shall mean
information which has not been made available by the Corporation to the public,
including but not limited to strategic and business plans, product or market
development studies, plans or surveys; designs and patterns; inventions, secret
processes and developments; any cost data, including labor costs, material
costs, and any data that is a factor in costs; price, source or utilization data
on raw materials, fibers, machinery, equipment and other manufacturing supplies;
technical improvements, designs, procedures and methods developed by the
Corporation; any data pertaining to sales volume by location or by product
category; customer lists; production methods other than those licensed by
outside companies; compensa tion practices; and profitability, margins, asset
values, or other information relating to financial statements.

             Executive acknowledges that the disclosure of the Corporation's
trade secrets or confidential information to unauthorized persons would
constitute a clear threat to the business of the Corporation, and that the
failure of the Executive to abide by the terms of Paragraphs 9 and 10 will
entitle the Corporation to exercise any or all remedies available to it in law
or equity, including without limitation, an injunction prohibiting a breach of
these provisions or suit for restitution.

             (ii)  A termination for "Cause" means a termination of employment
with the Corporation or any of the subsidiaries or joint ventures which, as
determined by the Corporation, is by reason of (A) the commission by the
Executive of a felony or a perpetration by the Executive of a dishonest act,
material misrepresentation or common law fraud against the Corporation or any
subsidiary, joint venture or other affiliate thereof, (B) any other act or
omission which is injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of
the Corporation or any subsidiary, joint venture or other affiliate thereof, or

changes to incentive or benefit plans affecting all executives) of the

assignment to the Executive of duties inconsistent with the Executive's position
as such duties were immediately prior to such assignment which results in a
diminution of such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, or (D) a
change in the employment requirements of Executive which, in the view of the
Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Corporation's Board of Directors,
subjects Executive to an unfair change of circumstances.

stockholders, of each Director of the Corporation first elected during such
period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors of the
Corporation then still in office who were Directors of the Corporation at the
beginning of any such period.

Carolina 274l0, and any notice from the Corporation to Executive shall be sent
