September 15, 2005, The Warnaco Group, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into a third
amendment (the &#147;Amendment&#148;) to its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement,
dated as of February 4, 2003, as amended on November 12, 2003 and August 1, 2004 (the
&#147;Revolving Credit Facility&#148;), among the Company, Warnaco Inc., as borrower
(&#147;Warnaco&#148;), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as
lenders (the &#147;Lenders&#148;), the financial institutions from time to time party
thereto as issuers (the &#147;Issuers&#148;), Citigroup North America, Inc., as
administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders and the Issuers, JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as syndication agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and Bank of America, NA,
The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. and Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation
(Central), each as a co-documentation agent for the Lenders and Issuers. The Revolving
Credit Facility currently provides for a $175.0 million non-amortizing revolver and
includes provisions that, subject to certain conditions, permit the Company to increase
maximum available borrowings from $175.0 million to $325.0 million.    </FONT></TD></TR>

<TD><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Revolving Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date
from February 3, 2007 to February 3, 2009; (ii) reduce the applicable margins used to
determine interest rates for both base rate and LIBOR borrowings (such that borrowings
currently bear interest at Citibank N.A.&#146;s base rate plus 0.5% (7.0% at September 15,
2005) or at LIBOR plus 1.5% (approximately 5.27% at September 15, 2005), although the
Revolving Credit Facility provides that the interest rate the Company will pay on
outstanding loans may change based on certain defined ratios); (iii) revise financial
covenants relating to minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, maximum leverage ratios and
limits on capital expenditures so that such covenants are tested only when Available
Credit (as defined in the Amendment) falls below $50.0 million; (iv) replace the
previously fixed unused commitment fee with a commitment fee structure that varies based
upon the Company&#146;s leverage ratio; (v) eliminate dollar limitations on certain
acquisitions of entities and assets and repurchases of the Company&#146;s common stock so
long as available credit is at least $50.0 million after giving effect to such acquisition
or repurchase and provided certain other terms and conditions are met; (vi) permit payment
of cash dividends on the Company&#146;s common stock in amounts up to 25% of the
Company&#146;s net income for the most recent completed fiscal year; (vii) allow for
additional indebtedness of up to $30.0 million, provided such indebtedness is incurred
solely to finance the construction of a new distribution facility in Pennsylvania; and
(viii) reduce the pricing of certain letters of credit that are cash collateralized.     </FONT></TD></TR>

thereto as issuers (the "Issuers"), Citigroup North America, Inc., as
administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders and the Issuers, JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as syndication agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and Bank of America, NA,
The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. and Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation
(Central), each as a co-documentation agent for the Lenders and Issuers. The Revolving
Credit Facility currently provides for a $175.0 million non-amortizing revolver and
includes provisions that, subject to certain conditions, permit the Company to increase
maximum available borrowings from $175.0 million to $325.0 million.
The
Revolving Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date
from February 3, 2007 to February 3, 2009; (ii) reduce the applicable margins used to
determine interest rates for both base rate and LIBOR borrowings (such that borrowings
currently bear interest at Citibank N.A.'s base rate plus 0.5% (7.0% at September 15,
2005) or at LIBOR plus 1.5% (approximately 5.27% at September 15, 2005), although the
Revolving Credit Facility provides that the interest rate the Company will pay on
outstanding loans may change based on certain defined ratios); (iii) revise financial
covenants relating to minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, maximum leverage ratios and
limits on capital expenditures so that such covenants are tested only when Available
Credit (as defined in the Amendment) falls below $50.0 million; (iv) replace the
previously fixed unused commitment fee with a commitment fee structure that varies based
upon the Company's leverage ratio; (v) eliminate dollar limitations on certain
acquisitions of entities and assets and repurchases of the Company's common stock so
long as available credit is at least $50.0 million after giving effect to such acquisition
or repurchase and provided certain other terms and conditions are met; (vi) permit payment
of cash dividends on the Company's common stock in amounts up to 25% of the
Company's net income for the most recent completed fiscal year; (vii) allow for
additional indebtedness of up to $30.0 million, provided such indebtedness is incurred
solely to finance the construction of a new distribution facility in Pennsylvania; and
(viii) reduce the pricing of certain letters of credit that are cash collateralized.
A
copy of the Amendment is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference. The description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Amendment.
The
Revolving Credit Facility, as amended by the Amendment, contains a number of other terms
and conditions. In addition, the Company's ability to take certain actions described
above as permitted under the Revolving Credit Facility, as amended by the Amendment, is
limited by certain provisions of the Indenture governing Warnaco's 8 7/8% Senior
Notes due 2013 (the "Indenture"). For a description of the Revolving Credit
Facility and the Indenture, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
