          THIS EXECUTIVE SECURITIES AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of
July 31, 1998, by and among Globe Holdings, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation
formerly known as Globe Manufacturing Co. (the "Company"), and
___________________ (the "Executive Securityholder", and together with the other
executives of the Company who execute an agreement having terms substantially
identical to those contained herein, the "Executive Securityholders"). Certain
capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 5 hereof.  Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
Securityholders Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Securityholders
Agreement") by and among the Company and certain stockholders of the Company.

          The parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement for the
purposes, among others, of (i) assuring continuity in the management and
ownership of the Company, and (ii) limiting the manner and terms by which
Executive Securities may be transferred.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as
follows:

          SECTION 1.     Representations and Warranties of Executive

this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such
Executive Securityholder and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of
such Executive Securityholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and (ii
such Executive Securityholder has not granted and is not a party to any proxy,
voting trust or other agreement which is inconsistent with, conflicts with or
violates any provision of this Agreement. No holder of Executive Securities
shall grant any proxy or become party to any voting trust or other agreement
which is inconsistent with, conflicts with or violates any provision of this
Agreement.

          SECTION 2.     Restrictions on Transfer of Executive Securities.

          (a) Transfer of Executive Securities.   The holders of Executive
Securities shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of (a

provisions of Section 4 of the Securityholders Agreement, (ii) a Public Sale of
the type described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, (iii) an Approved

          (b) Certain Permitted Transfers.  The restrictions set forth in this

Common Stock held by such Executive Securityholder multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock sold by the CHS Group
in such Public Sale and the denominator of which is the total number of shares
of Common Stock held by the CHS Group prior to the Public Sale; provided, that
the restrictions contained in this Section 2 will continue to be applicable to

Transfer Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the Permitted
Transferee(s).

          (c) Termination of Restrictions.  The restrictions set forth in this
Section 2 will continue with respect to each unit of Executive Securities until
the earlier of (i) the date on which such unit of Executive Securities has been
transferred in a Public Sale, or (ii) the consummation of an Approved Sale.


          SECTION 3.     Repurchase of Executive Securities
 
          (a)  Repurchase of Executive Securities without Cause, etc.  If any
Executive Securityholder's employment with the Company terminates (the
"Termination") due to (i) termination by the Company without Cause (as defined
below) or (ii) death or disability, then:

               (i)  the Company and the CHS Group shall have the right to
     repurchase all (but not less than all) of the Executive Securities of such
     Executive Securityholder at a price equal to (A) in the case of capital
     stock, the greater of Original Cost and Fair Market Value and (B) in the
     case of Preferred Shares, the sum of such Preferred Shares' liquidation
     preference and accrued dividends on the date of repurchase; and

               (ii) such Executive Securityholder, or his heirs or permitted
     assigns, shall have 90 days from the date of Termination in which to
     exercise all unexercised Options of such Executive Securityholder.

          (b)  Repurchase of Executive Securities for Cause, etc. If any
Executive Securityholder's employment with the Company terminates due to (i)
termination by the Company for Cause or (ii) resignation by the Executive
Securityholder without Good Reason, then:

               (A)  the Company and the CHS Group have the right to repurchase
     all (but not less than all) of the Executive Securities of such Executive
     Securityholder at a price equal to (x) in the case of Common Stock, the
     lesser of (1) Original Cost and (2) Fair Market Value, and  (y) in the case
     of Preferred Shares, the sum Preferred Shares' liquidation preference and
     accrued dividends on the date of repurchase; and

                                       2

 
               (B)  all unexercised Options of such Executive Securityholder
     shall terminate.

          (c)  Repurchase Procedure for the Company.  The Company may elect to
repurchase all (but not less than all) of the Executive Securities (the
"Available Securities") of an Executive Securityholder whose employment with the
Company has terminated as described in Sections 3(a) or 3(b) (the "Repurchase
Option") by delivery of written notice (a "Repurchase Notice") to the holders of
such Executive Securities within 120 days after the date of the Termination (the
"Repurchase Notice Period"). The Repurchase Notice shall set forth the aggregate
consideration to be paid for such Available Securities and the time (not to be
later than 20 days after such notice) and place for the closing of the
transaction.

          (d)  Repurchase Procedure for the CHS Group.  If for any reason the
Company does not elect to purchase all of the Available Securities, the members
of the CHS Group shall be entitled to exercise the Repurchase Option for all
(but not less than all) of the Available Securities. As soon as practicable
after the Company has determined that it will not purchase all of the Available
Securities, but in any event within 60 days after the Termination, the Company
shall give written notice (the "Option Notice") to each member of the CHS Group
setting forth the number of Available Securities and the purchase price for the
Available Securities.  The members of the CHS Group may elect to purchase all
(but not less than all) of the Available Securities by giving written notice to
the Company within 30 days after the Option Notice has been delivered to such
member of the CHS Group by the Company.  If the members of the CHS Group elect
to purchase an aggregate amount of Available Securities in excess of the amount
of Available Securities specified in the Option Notice, the Available Securities
shall be allocated among the members of the CHS Group based on the amount of
such type or types of Stockholder Securities owned by each member of the CHS
Group on the date of the Option Notice.  Any member of the CHS Group may
condition his, her or its election to purchase such Available Securities on the
election of one or more other members of the CHS Group to purchase Available
Securities.  As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten days after the
expiration of the 30 day period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence,
the Company shall deliver a Repurchase Notice to the holders of such Available
Securities setting forth the aggregate consideration to be paid by the
respective members of the CHS Group for such Available Securities and the time
(not to be later than 20 days after such notice) and place for the closing of
the transaction.  At the time the Company delivers such Repurchase Notice to the
holders of such Available Securities, the Company shall also deliver written
notice to each member of the CHS Group setting forth the amount of securities
such member is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and the time
and place of the closing of the transaction.

          (e) Manner of Payment.  If the Company purchases all or any part of
such Executive Securities, including Executive Securities held by one or more
transferees, the Company shall pay for such Executive Securities first by
offsetting indebtedness or obligations owed by such Executive Securityholder to
the Company and second by certified check or wire transfer of funds; provided
that if such cash payment would (i) cause the Company to violate the Business
Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or (ii) cause the Company
to breach any agreement to which it is a party relating to the indebtedness for
borrowed money or any other material agreement ((i) and (ii) are collectively
referred to as the "Reasons for Deferral") then the Company shall have the right
to pay such amount as soon as no Reason for Deferral exists so long as the

                                       3

 
Company also pays interest at the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street
Journal on the date of Termination) for the deferral period at the time when
such payment is made.  If a member of the CHS Group elects to purchase all or
any portion of the Available Securities, such member shall pay for such
Executive Securities by certified check or wire transfer of funds.

          (f) Revocation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, if the holder of Executive Securities delivers the notice of
disagreement described in the definition of Fair Market Value, or if the Fair
Market Value of the Executive Securities is determined to be an amount more than
10% greater than the repurchase price for Executive Securities originally
determined by the Board, each of the Company and each member of the CHS Group
who has exercised their Repurchase Option shall have the right to revoke its or
their exercise of the Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive
Securities elected to be repurchased by it by delivering notice of such
revocation in writing to the holder of the Executive Securities during (i) the
thirty-day period beginning on the date the Company and the relevant members of
the CHS Group receive the Executive Securityholder's written notice of
disagreement and (ii) the thirty-day period beginning on the date the Company
and the relevant members of the CHS Group are given written notice that the Fair
Market Value of the Executive Securities was finally determined to be an amount
more than 10% greater than the repurchase price for such Executive Securities
originally determined by the Board. The closing of the transaction shall be
postponed until the expiration of the thirty-day period described in the
preceding sentence and shall in any event be postponed until the Fair Market
Value of the Executive Securities is finally determined pursuant to the
procedure described in the definition of Fair Market Value.

          (g) Retirement.   Upon Retirement or resignation with Good Reason by
an Executive Securityholder, such Executive Securityholder will have the right
to retain his Executive Securities; provided that if such Executive
Securityholder thereafter engages (whether as an owner, stockholder, operator,
manager, employee, officer, director, consultant, advisor, representative or
otherwise) directly or indirectly anywhere in the United States in any business
that manufactures, distributes or sells polyether or polyester spandex, latex
thread or other elastomeric fiber (provided that passive ownership of less than
2% of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation shall not, in and
of itself, constitute being engaged in such activity), then such Executive
Securityholder shall be deemed to have resigned from the Company for purposes of
Section 3(b) and the provisions of Section 3(b) shall apply to such Executive
Securityholder's Executive Securities.

          (h) Termination of Certain Repurchase Options.  The Repurchase Option
set forth in Section 3(a) shall terminate upon a Public Offering or an Approved
Sale.

          SECTION 4.     Transfer.  Prior to transferring any Executive
Securities (other than in a Public Sale or an Approved Sale) to any Person, the
transferring Executive Securityholder will cause the prospective transferee to
be bound by this Agreement and to execute and deliver to the Company and the
other Stockholders a counterpart to this Agreement.  Any Transfer or attempted
Transfer of any Executive Securities in violation of any provision of this
Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall not record such Transfer on its
books or treat any purported transferee of such Executive Securities as the
owner of such shares for any purpose.
