W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent, the Banks signatory thereto and the LOC Banks signatory thereto are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of November 1, 2002 (the "Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which the Banks have agreed to make certain revolving and swingline loans and to extend credit to Borrower of up to the amount of $75,000,000 upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; and

All references to the Credit Agreement in the Credit Agreement and in any of the Collateral Documents shall refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
All references to the Revolving Credit Notes in the Credit Agreement and in any of the Collateral Documents shall refer collectively to the Revolving Credit Notes issued November 1, 2002 to each of U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank N.A. (the "Existing Revolving Notes") and the Revolving Credit Note issued to the Assignee on the date hereof (the "New Revolving Note") and the loans evidenced thereby (including the unpaid balance of the Revolving Credit Notes).
Section 1.1 is amended by deleting the date "October 30, 2003" and substituting therefor the date "October 28, 2004".
Section 4.1 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

"Organization. The Company is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of Delaware, and has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to conduct its business and to own its properties. Each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation, a limited liability company or a partnership duly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction under which it was organized, and has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business and to own its properties. Set forth in Schedule 4.1 (dated 10/21/03 for reference purposes) is a complete and accurate list of all of its Subsidiaries, showing as of the date hereof (as to each such Subsidiary) the jurisdiction of its incorporation, the percentage of the outstanding shares of each class of capital stock or limited liability company or partnership interests owned (directly or indirectly) by the Company and the number of shares or limited liability company or partnership interests covered by all outstanding options, warrants, rights of conversion or purchase, and similar rights. All of the outstanding stock of all of the corporate Subsidiaries has been legally and validly issued, is fully paid and non-assessable except as provided by section 180.0622(2)(b) of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law and its predecessor statute, as judicially interpreted. All of the limited liability company and partnership interests of the non-corporate Subsidiaries have been legally and validly issued. All of the outstanding stock of the corporate Subsidiaries and all of the limited liability company and partnership interests of the non-corporate Subsidiaries is owned by the Company or one or more other Subsidiaries free and clear of all pledges, liens, security interests and other charges or encumbrances. The Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which such qualification is required, and failure to so qualify could have a material adverse effect on the property, financial condition or business operations of the Company."

Section 5.1(a)(2) is amended to substitute "clause (iv)" for "clause (v)."
Sections 5.1(a)(5) and 5.1(a)(6) are renumbered to be Sections 5.1(a)(6) and 5.1(a)(7), respectively, and a new Section 5.1(a)(5) is added to read as follows:

"(5) any indebtedness payable to the Guarantor by the Company,"

Section 9.1(oo)(iv) is amended to substitute "5.1(a)(2)" for "5.1(4)."
Schedule 4.1 to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety in the form attached as Schedule 4.1 to this Amendment.

Accrued interest on the Existing Revolving Notes on the Effective Date shall be paid on the next regularly scheduled interest payment date specified in the Credit Agreement.

A counterpart of this Amendment has been executed and delivered by Borrower, Agent, each of the Banks and each of the LOC Banks;
Borrower has executed and delivered to Assignee the New Revolving Note in the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto in the principal amount of $20,000,000 which New Revolving Note shall have been delivered to the Assignee against the return of the Revolving Credit Note currently held by Harris;

The settlement date of this assignment shall be the Effective Date.
Upon the Effective Date, (i) the Assignee shall be a party to the Credit Agreement and, to the extent provided in this Amendment, have the rights and obligations of a Bank thereunder and under the Collateral Documents and (ii) the Assignor shall, to the extent provided in this Amendment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Documents.
It is agreed that upon the effectiveness hereof, the Assignee shall be entitled to (i) all interest on the Assigned Share of the Revolving Credit Loans at the rates specified in Item 6 of Schedule I hereto, (ii) all Commitment Fees on the Assigned Share of the Aggregate Commitment at the rate specified in Item 7 of Schedule I hereto, (iii) all Utilization Fees on the Assigned Share of the Revolving Credit Loans at the rate specified in Item 8 of Schedule I hereto, and (iv) all Letter of Credit Fees on the Assignee's participation in all Letters of Credit at the rate specified in Item 9 of Schedule I hereto, which, in each case, accrue on and after the Effective Date, such interest, Commitment Fee and Letter of Credit Fees to be paid by the Agent directly to the Assignee.

This Amendment constitutes, and each of the documents required herein when executed and delivered hereunder will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower or other signatory enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights generally.
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes are not subject to any offset, defense or counterclaim assertable by Borrower and that the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the Collateral Documents are valid, binding and fully enforceable according to their respective terms. Except as expressly provided above, the Credit Agreement and the Collateral Documents shall remain in full force and effect, and neither this Amendment nor the execution and delivery of the New Note shall release, discharge or satisfy any present or future debts, obligations or liabilities to Agent and the Banks of Borrower or of any debtor, guarantor or other person or entity liable for payment or performance of any of such debts, obligations or liabilities of Borrower, or any security interest, lien or other collateral or security for any of such debts, obligations or liabilities of Borrower or such debtors, guarantors, or other persons or entities, or waive any default, and Agent and the Banks expressly reserve all of their rights and remedies with respect to Borrower and all such debtors, guarantors or other persons or entities, and all such security interests, liens and other collateral and security. This is an amendment and not a novation.
Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of all fees and out-of-pocket disbursements incurred by Agent and the Banks in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of this Amendment and the New Note, including all costs of collection, and including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Agent and the Banks, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of in-house counsel, whether or not any transaction contemplated by this Agreement is consummated.

The provisions of this Amendment shall inure to the benefit of any holder of any Note, and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to any of the parties hereto.
All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution of this Amendment, the making of the loans under the Credit Agreement, as so amended, and the execution and delivery of the New Note.
This Amendment and the New Note issued hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin.

OshKosh B'Gosh Investments, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Guarantor"), hereby refers to its Corporate Guaranty Agreement (the "Guaranty") dated as of November 1, 2002, relating to the obligations of OshKosh B'Gosh, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), under that Credit Agreement dated as of November 1, 2002, as amended from time to time (the "Credit Agreement") with the Banks named therein (the "Banks") and U.S. Bank National Association, as Agent for the Banks (the "Agent").

The Borrower, Agent, the Banks and the LOC Banks have entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement of even date herewith (the "Amendment"). Effectiveness of the Amendment is subject to, among other things, execution and delivery of this Confirmation of Guaranty by the Guarantor.

It is necessary for the business purposes of the Guarantor that the Borrower continue to obtain credit from the Banks under the Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment, and as it may be further amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time. The Guarantor is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower.

The Guarantor hereby acknowledges and consents to the Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment, and as it may be further amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time and the transactions contemplated thereby and agrees that its Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment, and as it may be further amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time.
