               (As Amended and Restated effective January 1, 1989)

                  Salant  Corporation  hereby amends the Salant Corporation Long

                  1.       The following new Section 1.7A is added to the Plan:

                  Stock  contributed  by the Company or purchased by the Trustee
                  with cash contributions  made by the Company.  If so directed,
                  the  Trustee  shall  regularly   purchase,   or  cause  to  be
                  purchased,  Common  Stock from time to time in the open market
                  or by private purchase, including purchase from the Company of
                  authorized but unissued  shares of such Common Stock or shares
                  of such Common Stock held as treasury stock. All purchases and
                  contributions  from the Company shall be made at a price equal
                  to the closing price at which the  Company's  Common Stock was
                  traded as reported  in the  NYSE-Composite  Transactions  list
                  reported in the Wall  Street  Journal for the date of purchase
                  or  contribution or if there were no trades on such date, at a
                  price equal to the mean  between the "bid" and "asked"  prices
                  for such date.

                  2.       The following new Section 1.15A is added to the Plan:

                  funds.

                  3.       The following new Section 1.20A is added to the Plan:

                           1.20A  "Qualified  Contribution"  for any  Plan  Year
                  means a  discretionary  contribution  made by the  Company  to
                  satisfy  the  requirements  of Section 3.4 or 4.7 and that (a)

                  section 3.7 or 4.8, (b) is  nonforfeitable  at all times,  (c)

                  (determined  without  regard  to  Subsection  (i)(IV)  of such
                  Section) and (d) complies  with the  requirements  of Treasury
                  regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(b) (5).
                  4.       The last sentence of section 3.4 is deleted.
                  5. Section 3.7 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
                           3.7 (a) In the event the Company  determines that the
                  deferrals  elected by highly  compensated  Members might cause
                  the deferrals  under the Plan to fail to meet the  limitations
                  of the second  sentence  of Section  3.4 , the  Committee  may
                  reduce in an equitable  manner,  as it in its sole  discretion
                  shall determine,  the permissible  percentages of Compensation
                  which may  subsequently  be deferred  under the Plan by highly
                  compensated  Members.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,   the
                  Committee  shall not reduce the permissible  Employee  Matched
                  Contributions  of any highly  compensated  Member if any other
                  highly  compensated  Member  may  make  Employee  Supplemental
                  Contributions.
                           (b) Salary reductions of highly  compensated  Members
                  may be maintained  within the limit of the second  sentence of
                  Section  3.4 by  reducing  the  salary  reductions  of  highly
                  compensated  Members  in order of the  percentages  of  salary
                  deferred  beginning with the highest of such percentages.  The
                  amount by which a Member's  salary  reductions  is so reduced,
                  adjusted for income or loss  allocable  thereto,  and reduced,
                  but not below zero, by the amount of any distribution  made or
                  to be made to the  Member  pursuant  to  Section  3.6 shall be
                  distributed  to the  Member no later than  December  31 of the
                  Plan Year following the Plan Year for which such excess salary
                  reductions were contributed to the Plan on his behalf.
                           (c) The  Committee  may  elect  to  make a  Qualified
                  Contribution with respect to the Plan Year on behalf of any or
                  all   Members.   To  the  extent   specified  as  a  qualified
                  nonelective  contribution  (as defined in Treasury  Regulation
                  1.401(k)-1(g)(13)(ii)),  such Qualified  Contribution shall be
                  treated as a Salary  Deferral  Contribution  for  purposes  of
                  Section 3.4.
                           (d) The Committee, in its sole discretion,  may elect
                  to use  any  combination  of the  methods  described  in  this
                  Section  3.7  to  satisfy  the  limitations  of  Section  3.4;
                  provided,  however,  that such combination of methods shall be
                  applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory  manner. 6. Section
                  4.8 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
                           4.8 (a) Company Matching Contributions to accounts of
                  highly compensated  Members may be maintained within the limit
                  of Section 4.7 by reducing such Company Matching Contributions
                  in order of such highly compensated  Members' Company Matching
                  Contributions  as a percentage  beginning  with the highest of
                  such  percentages.  Such reduction shall be made in proportion
                  to a Member's Company Matching Contributions  allocated to his
                  account for the Plan Year to which the reduction relates.  The
                  amount of such  reduction  in the  Member's  Company  Matching
                  Contributions  allocated  to his  account  to the  extent  the
                  Member  is  vested  in  his  Company  Matching  Contributions,
                  adjusted  for  income  or loss  allocable  thereto,  shall  be
                  distributed  to the  Member no later than  December  31 of the
                  Plan Year following the Plan Year for which such excess salary
                  reductions  were  contributed  to the Plan.  The amount of any
                  reduction in the Company Matching Contribution  allocated to a
                  Member's  account,  to the extent that he is not yet vested in
                  his Company  Matching  Contributions,  adjusted  for income or
                  loss  allocable  thereto,  shall  be a  forfeiture  as of  the
                  December 31 of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which
                  the  excess  Company  Matching   Contribution  was  made.  Any
                  forfeiture pursuant to this Section shall be applied to reduce
                  future Company Matching Contributions under the Plan.
                           (b) The  Committee  may  elect  to  make a  Qualified
                  Contribution with respect to the Plan Year on behalf of any or
                  all Members.  To the extent specified as a qualified  matching
                  contribution    (as    defined    in    Treasury    Regulation
                  1.401(k)-1(g)(13)(i)),  such Qualified  Contribution  shall be
                  treated as a Company  Matching  Contribution  for  purposes of
                  Section 4.7.
                           (c) The Committee, in its sole discretion,  may elect
                  to use  any  combination  of the  methods  described  in  this
                  Section  4.8  to  satisfy  the  limitations  of  Section  4.7;
                  provided,  however,  that such combination of methods shall be
                  applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory  manner. 7. Section
                  5.2 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
                         5.2 The Committee shall select the Investment  Funds to
                  be  made  available  for the  investment  of  Salary  Deferral
                  contributions   and  Company   Matching   Contributions.   The
                  Committee  may  select  additional  or  substitute  Investment
                  Funds.  The  Trustee  may keep any portion of the funds of the
                  Trust Fund in a money market fund or in short-term obligations
                  of the United  States  Government  or  agencies  thereof or in
                  other types of short-term  investments,  including  commercial
                  paper (other than  obligations of the Company or  affiliates),
                  as it may from time to time  deem to be in the best  interests
                  of the  Plan or  Trust  Fund;  provided,  however,  that  cash
                  balances  (including any interim investment thereof) shall not
                  be maintained  in the Company  Common Stock Fund except to the
                  extent  that  such  balances  are  in   anticipation  of  cash
                  distributions  from  the  Company  Common  Stock  Fund  or are
                  maintained  so as not to  disrupt  directed  purchases  of the
                  Trustee required by the Plan.

                  8. Section 5.4 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
                  5.4 Elections for Investment.  At the time an Employee
                   commences membership
                  under  the  Plan,  he  shall  also  elect  in  writing  to the
                  Committee to have his Salary Deferral  Contributions,  if any,
                  invested in one or more of the Investment Funds other than the
                  Company Common Stock Fund.  During the month of March 1992, or
                  thereafter at the time an Employee commences  membership under
                  the Plan,  an  Employee  shall also elect to have his  Company
                  Matching Contributions, if any, invested in one or more of the
                  Investment  Funds.  At the  time an  Employee  contributes  an
                  Eligible Rollover  Distribution to the Plan, he shall elect in
                  writing  to  invest  such  contribution  in  one  or  more  of
                  Investment  Funds other than the Company Common Stock Fund. In
                  no  event  shall a  Member  be  permitted  to  elect to have a
                  percentage  other  than a  whole-number  multiple  of 10% (25%
                  prior to January 1, 1994) of such  contributions  invested  in
                  any one fund.  Prior to April 1, 1992,  all  Company  Matching
                  Contributions  were invested in the Company  Common Stock Fund
                  and could not be transferred to other funds except as provided
                  in subsection 5.5(d).

                  9.  Section 5.5 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
                  5.5 Change of Elections For Investment. Transfers between 
                  Funds.  Each

                  Committee,  make  the  following  changes  in  his  investment
                  elections:

                         (a) He may, not more than once in any calendar quarter,
                  as of any Valuation Date, file a revised  investment  election
                  applicable to his Salary  Deferral  Contributions  and Company
                  Matching Contributions to be made for the month following such
                  election and thereafter,  subject to the limitations contained
                  in Section 5.4.

                         (b) He may, not more than once in any calendar quarter,
                  as of any Valuation  Date,  elect to reallocate any portion of
                  his account  that is invested  in the  Investment  Funds other
                  than the Company Common Stock Fund among the Investment  Funds
                  other than the Company  Common Stock Fund by  specifying  what
                  percentage of the value of his account (other than the portion
                  of his  account  invested in the  Company  Common  Stock Fund)
                  immediately  after the reallocation  will be held in each such
                  fund selected by him,  provided that all such  percentages  so
                  specified shall be in whole-number multiples of 10% (25% prior
                  to January 1, 1994).

                         (c) Effective April 1, 1992, he may, not more than once
                  in any calendar  quarter,  as of any Valuation Date,  elect to
                  transfer  any portion of his  account  that is invested in the
                  Company  Common  Stock Fund to the other  Investment  Funds by
                  specifying  what  percentage  of the amount to be  transferred
                  will be held in each such fund selected by him,  provided that
                  all such  percentages  so specified  shall be in  whole-number
                  multiples of 10%.

                         (d)  Notwithstanding   the  foregoing,   a  Member  who
                  terminates  Service  at or  after  age  60,  and  who  is  not
                  reemployed  shall  be  entitled  to make  only one  change  of
                  investment  election  thereafter,   which  election  shall  be
                  limited to  transferring  his entire account to a money market
                  fund or a fixed-income fund.

                         All transfers  under these  paragraphs (b), (c) and (d)
                  shall be made as of the  Valuation  Date of the month in which
                  the Member files a revised  written  investment  election with
                  the Committee.

                  10. The last sentence of Section 6.4 is amended to read in its
                  entirety as follows: Such amounts shall be repaid and restored
                  to the  Investment  Funds in accordance  with the Plan's terms
                  and the portion allocable to a Member's contributions shall be
                  allocated  in  accordance  with  his  most  recent  investment
                  election.

                  11.Subsection 8.1(a) is amended to read in its entirety as
                  follows:
                  (a)At the time specified in Section 8.2 and with respect to
                  a Member who was a
                  participant  in the  Denton  Plan  prior to  January  1, 1992,
                  subject to  Section  8.11,  the  vested  portion of a Member's
                  account balance shall be distributed to him or in the event of
                  his death,  and subject to Section 8.4(a),  to his beneficiary
                  in a lump sum, provided,  however, that a Member whose Service
                  is  terminated  (i)  by  early  retirement  at  or  after  the
                  attainment  of age 60 and the  completion of at least 10 years
                  of Service as provided under the Salant Corporation Retirement
                  Plan,  or (ii) after  attainment  of age 65 whether or not the
                  Member is eligible for retirement  under said Retirement Plan,
                  or (iii) by  reason of his total  and  permanent  physical  or

                  fractional  shares,  unless the Member  requests in writing by
                  reasonable   notice  prior  to  such  distribution  that  such
                  distribution shall be made solely in cash. A Member who elects
                  installment  distributions  must  waive his right to receive a
                  distribution in Common Stock
