                           Secured Party Bill of sale
                             -------------------------

           THE CIT GROUP/COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC., having an office at 1211
  Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036, as a secured party in
  possession ("Secured Party"), as of this 30th day of June, 2000, hereby sells,
  transfers and conveys all of the rights, title and interest of Secured Party
  and of Ann Travis, Inc. ("Debtor") to DONNKENNY APPAREL, INC., having an
  office at 1411 Broadway, New York, New York 10018 ("Purchaser"), its
  successors and assigns, in and to certain property (collectively, the "Assets)
  described on Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, for an
  aggregate purchase price of One Million One Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars
  ($1,140,000), the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged.

           Secured Party represents and warrants to Purchaser that (a) it holds
  a perfected first security interest in the Assets, (b) it has taken possession
  of the Assets, (c) the sale of the Assets is being made in a commercially
  reasonable manner pursuant to Section 9-504 of the New York Commercial Code,
  (d) the inventory portion of the Assets has a cost value of not less than One
  Million Dollars ($1,000,000), (e) upon consummation of such sale, the Assets
  are free and clear of any liens or security interests or adverse claim, (f)
  upon consummation of such sale, the Purchaser has the sole and exclusive right
  to possession of the Assets, and (g) upon consummation of such sale, Purchaser
  will have valid and marketable title to the Assets, but only to the same
  extent that Debtor had valid and marketable title to the Assets immediately
  prior to the Second Party's taking possession of the Assets.

           Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, Secured
  Party hereby agrees that, in connection with the transactions contemplated
  hereby, Purchaser is not assuming any liability or obligation of the Debtor.

           Secured Party hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless
  from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, losses,
  damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
  expenses) arising out of (a) a breach of any representation or warranty made
  by Secured Party herein or (b) any claim of any third party (the "Claim") in
  any way relating to transactions occurring at, prior to or contemplated by the
  delivery of this Bill of Sale (the "Indemnity"). Purchaser shall promptly
  notify Secured Party in writing if a third party makes a Claim ("Notice of
  Claim"); provided that any such failure to so notify the Secured Party shall
  only relieve the Secured Party of its obligations hereunder to the extent that
  the Secured Party is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby. In any such
  event, Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Secured Party all relevant
  communications and documentation pertaining to such Claim. Upon receipt of a
  Notice of Claim, Secured Party shall promptly with


<PAGE>


        counsel of its choice defend against the Claim to the extent covered by
        the Indemnity and identified in the Notice of Claim. If Secured Party
        shall fail to act promptly as aforesaid and shall further fail to so act
        promptly after written notice for Purchaser to Secured Party specifying
        Secured Party's failure to so act ("Default Notice"), Purchaser shall
        have the right to undertake the defense of such Claim itself, with
        counsel of its choice and shall be reimbursed by Secured Party for its
        reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in connection therewith. Subject
        to the immediately preceding sentence, Secured Party shall have the
        exclusive right to defend and/or proceed with and prosecute all
        proceedings, negotiations, settlements and compromises involving Claims
        covered in whole or in part by the Indemnity with counsel of its choice,
        and in the case of settlements and compromises, on terms reasonably
        acceptable solely to Secured Party provided that to the extent
        Purchaser's access to possession, use and ability to dispose of the
        Assets are actually being interfered with Purchaser shall have the
        right, at the Secured Party's expense, to employ counsel of its own
        choice and in such event and to such extent, Secured Party's counsel and
        Purchaser's counsel shall cooperate with respect to the defense of any
        Claim covered in whole or in part by the Indemnity.

                 Purchaser hereby agrees to reimburse Secured Party for any
        amounts paid to a third party by the Secured Party on behalf of Debtor
        prior to the closing of the purchase and sale transaction being effected
        hereby, provided that (i) such amounts relate directly to the cost of
        the inventory that is part of the Assets that are being purchased hereby
        and (ii) Secured Party provides satisfactory documentation to the
        Purchaser regarding the requirement described in clause (i) hereof.

                 In addition, the Purchaser agrees to post letters of credit in
        favor of the Secured Party in an aggregate amount equal to $479,911 to
        serve as back-to-back letters of credit to the letters of credit listed
        on Exhibit E as to which the Debtor is the account party.
