The Cost Price per pound shall be adjusted over the term of this Agreement as described on Exhibit C and shall be calculated for any given period based on the weighted average of cotton prices fixed for that period pursuant to Exhibit C.  The Basis per pound shall be adjusted over the term of this Agreement on an annual basis on each anniversary date of the Agreement.

[*] Text omitted for confidential treatment. The redacted information has been excluded because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

Exhibit C

Cotton Pricing:

Parkdale is responsible for purchasing the cotton.  Delta is responsible for fixing the cotton price in accordance with the existing yarn pricing formula in place with the Agreement and the following procedure:

For each period during the term of the Agreement, Delta shall prior to the respective dates set forth below (i) deliver fixation orders to Parkdale in writing for cotton at a price per pound or a range of acceptable prices per pound for the applicable NY futures cover month in multiples of 100 bales or (ii) transfer to a brokerage account of Parkdale an equivalent number of ICE cotton futures.

Schedule for Cotton Price Fixations

Months                       Prices to be fixed no later than:           Cover Month

Jan, Feb, Mar              The latest business day closest to

but not exceeding December 25^th                   March

Apr, May                     The latest business day closest to

but not exceeding March 25^th                         May

Jun, Jul                        The latest business day closest to

but not exceeding May 25^th                            July

Aug, Sep                     The latest business day closest to

but not exceeding July 25^th                             October

Oct, Nov, Dec             The latest business day closest to

but not exceeding September 24^th                  December

In the event that the number of bales fixed for any pricing period exceeds the actual cotton content of the yarn delivered by Parkdale during such period, the excess cotton fixation will be rolled forward to the next period at the price for the current period and Delta shall reimburse Parkdale’s carrying costs for the excess cotton fixation until such fixation is exhausted.   Carrying costs are  [*]  per bale per month and shall accrue after two weeks of the following period (e.g. unused cotton on March 31^st will be subject to carrying charges if still unused on April 14^th.  Accrued carrying costs shall be paid by Delta on a pricing period basis or upon demand by Parkdale.

[*] Text omitted for confidential treatment. The redacted information has been excluded because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

In the event that the actual cotton content of the yarn delivered by Parkdale during such period exceeds the number of bales fixed for that period Delta may elect to cover the shortfall using the next period’s fixations at the next period’s price.

For example assume 8,000 bales are fixed for the second period basis May at 50 cents and 5,000 bales are fixed for the third period basis July at 52 cents. The actual cotton consumed for the second period is 10,000 bales.  Delta may elect to utilize fixations for 2,000 bales from the third period at 52 cents.  In this case, fixations for 2,000 bales would be rolled to the second period making the second period’s price the average of .5040 (8,000 @ .5000 and 2,000 @ .5200).  There would then be fixations for 3,000 bales remaining for the third period at .5200.   

In the event that Delta fails to fix the price of cotton for any period prior to the respective date set forth above and Delta does not elect to roll fixations back, Parkdale shall have the right to fix the cotton price for that period.   If Delta fails to fix the price of cotton for any period in quantities that are sufficient for Parkdale to fulfill the purchase orders for yarn issued by Delta for delivery during that period the applicable market price for such excess yarn shall be equal to the price fixed by Parkdale if Parkdale manufactures such excess yarn from cotton delivered to it pursuant to futures contracts, or Parkdale’s cost to obtain cotton in the spot market if Parkdale manufactures such excess yarn from cotton purchased by it in the spot market.

The amount of cotton bales consumed in the period shall be based on invoice date and shall be derived using the following formula:

((Y x P) / (1-W))/500

Where:

Y = Pounds of Yarn

P = Percent of Cotton

W = Waste Factor in decimal format (for example: 5% would be

.05)

All fixation orders and executions must be promptly confirmed in writing by any of the respective representatives listed below or otherwise designated by written notice.
