Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (the "Company") is subject to

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The By-Laws of the Company provide that the Company may
indemnify any person to the full extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "GCL"). Section 145 of the GCL, the
law of the state in which the Company is incorporated, empowers a
corporation within certain limitations to indemnify any person
against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with any suit or proceeding to which he is a party by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, as long as he acted in good faith and in a manner which
he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation. With respect to any criminal
proceeding, he must have had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. In addition, the Certificate of Incorpor-
ation of the Company provides for a director or officer to be
indemnified unless his acts (i) constituted a breach of his
fiduciary duties to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) were
committed in bad faith or were the result of active or deliberate
dishonesty, (iii) violated Section 174 of the GCL or (iv) resulted
in a personal gain or financial profit or other advantage to which
he is not legally entitled. The Company also has in effect
directors' and officers' liability insurance.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (a) to
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
of the securities being registered hereby not previously disclosed
in this registration statement or any material change to such
information in this registration statement; (b) that, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Securities Act"), each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof; and (c) to remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
2. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in
this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the undersigned registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnifi-
cation against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
4. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, it
shall submit the Plan and any amendments to the Plan to the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in a timely manner and shall make
all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plan.

VOLUNTARY INVESTMENT PLAN
OF
PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION
CRYSTAL BRANDS DIVISION
As Amended and Restated Effective as of July 1, 1995
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS,
1. Effective as of November 1, 1985, Crystal Brands, Inc.
adopted the Voluntary Investment Plan of Crystal Brands, Inc.
(the "Prior Plan") for the benefit of certain of its eligible
employees.
2. Prior to that date, certain qualified employees, as
employees of General Mills, Inc., participated in the Voluntary
Investment Plan of General Mills, Inc., which had an effective
date of January 1, 1969. As of November 1, 1985, the assets and
liabilities of the Voluntary Investment Plan of General Mills,
Inc., attributable to such qualified employees, were transferred
to the Prior Plan. Effective November 1, 1985, the Ship'n Shore
Division Profit Sharing Plan was merged into the Prior Plan.
3. Effective as of January 1, 1990, the Prior Plan was
amended and restated to reflect the merger of the 401(k) Savings
and Thrift Plan of Trifari, Krussman & Fishel, Inc. and the Palm
Beach Incorporated Retirement Investment Savings Plan into the
Prior Plan, and to reflect the requirements of the Tax Reform Act
of 1986, and for certain other purposes.
4. Effective as of January 1, 1990, the Prior Plan was
again amended and restated to reflect the requirements of the
Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1992, the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 and for certain other purposes.
5. Pursuant to an asset sale effectuated on February 17,
1995, sponsorship of the Prior Plan was assumed by Phillips-Van
Heusen Corporation (the "Company"). Incident to such sale,
certain associates of Crystal Brands Inc. became associates of
the Company, and the Company assumed plan sponsorship.
Accordingly, effective as of February 17, 1995, the Prior Plan
was amended to become the Voluntary Investment Plan of Phillips-
Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division) (the "Plan").
All qualified employees who were participants in the Prior Plan
immediately prior to the sale on February 17, 1995 and who became
associates of the Company and its subsidiaries incident to such
sale continued as Participants in the Plan without interruption.
In addition, all Participants in the Prior Plan who had not
received their complete benefit distributions continued as
Participants in the Plan without interruption.
6. It is intended that the terms used herein which are de-
fined (and set forth in alphabetical order) in Article I shall
have the respective meanings ascribed thereto by the provisions
of said Article I.
7. The Company now desires, effective as of July 1, 1995,
to amend and restate the Plan in its entirety in order, among
other things, to eliminate after tax contributions to the Plan on
a prospective basis and to modify the investment alternatives
available to Participants under the Plan.
8. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.06, it has
been and shall continue to be impossible, whether by operation or
natural termination of the Plan and/or the Trust, or by the hap-
pening of a contingency, or by collateral arrangement, or by any
other means, for any part of the corpus of or the income from the
Trust to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the
exclusive benefit of the Participants and Former Participants and
their respective QDRO Payees and Beneficiaries and the payment of
the expenses of the administration of the Plan and the Trust.

hereby amended and restated in its entirety so that it shall read

withhold, or pay to the Trustee, as such Participant's Payroll
Contribution to the Plan in which he or she is a Participant, any
portion of such Participant's Compensation from such Employer
during those periods with respect to which such suspension shall
be in effect. Any such suspension shall become effective as

which it is received by the Company. Subject to such conditions
as the Committee may at any time and from time to time determine

10.05, each Participant who shall be an Eligible Associate of one
or more Employers may at any time file with the Company a new
Payroll Authorization, which new Payroll Authorization shall

Participant specified in such Payroll Authorization. As of, and
on or as promptly as shall be administratively feasible (but no
later than thirty (30) days) after, the Valuation Date occurring
in the calendar month in which such withholding shall occur, (a)
such Employer shall pay to the Trustee the aggregate amount of
such Employer's said withholdings with respect to such calendar
month and (b) as of such Valuation Date, the Committee shall
credit the amounts so paid to the Trustee with respect to each
Participant to the Before Tax Accounts of such Participant in

Employers' Additional Contribution with respect to the Plan Year
in which such Anniversary Date shall occur, such amount, if any,

mine and in such proportions as the Company shall reasonably
determine; if such Additional Contribution shall be made, it
shall be made at such time or times, not later than the time
prescribed by the Code for the filing of the Company's federal
income tax return for its Taxable Year with or within which such
Plan Year shall end, including extensions of such time, as the
Company shall so determine.

lowing the end of such Plan Year, the amount of such excess so
allocated to the Plan plus or minus the income or loss, if any,
allocable to such amount with respect to the Plan Year in which
such Before Tax Contribution was made (as determined in accor-
dance with the provisions of Section 5.03) and (ii) as of the
Anniversary Date next preceding the date of such distribution,
charge the amount thereof to his or her Before Tax Accounts in
proportion to the Before Tax Contributions credited thereto with
respect to such Plan Year and (b) as of such Anniversary Date,
(i) treat the Matching Contributions attributable to such excess
plus or minus the income or loss, if any, allocable to such
Matching Contributions with respect to the Plan Year in which
such Matching Contributions were made (as determined in accor-
dance with the provisions of Section 5.03) as a forfeiture and
(ii) charge the amount of such forfeiture to his or her Matching
Contribution Accounts in proportion to the Matching Contributions
credited thereto with respect to such Plan Year and credit the
same to the Company's Holding Account and the Committee shall

9.01 Investment Elections. Subject to such conditions as
the Committee may at any time and from time to time prescribe,
each Participant may file with the Committee such Participant's
Investment Election as to what percentage of the contributions
other than Matching Contributions and Top Heavy Contributions, if
any, allocated to such Participant with respect to the period
with respect to which such Investment Election shall be in effect
shall be credited to each of such Participant's appropriate
Accounts; provided, however, that no Participant may elect to
have a percentage in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of his
or her Before Tax Contributions and Rollover Contributions
credited to his or her Accounts in the PVH Fund; provided,
further, however, that no Participant may elect to have any
contributions credited to his or her Accounts in the Fixed Income
Fund.
9.02 Account Balance Transfers. (a) General Rule. At such
time or times prior to each Valuation Date as the Committee shall
from time to time prescribe, and subject to such conditions as
the Committee may at any time and from time to time prescribe,
each Participant or Former Participant (or, in the event of his
or her death, his or her Beneficiaries) may file with the
Committee his or her Account Balance Transfer Election to have
all or any portion of the credit balance in any one or more of
his or her Accounts other than Matching Contribution Accounts
which are required to be invested in the PVH Fund as of such
Valuation Date transferred from such Account to another Account
of the same type in a different Fund; provided, however, that no
election to transfer all or any portion of the credit balance in
any one or more of his or her Accounts into Accounts of the same
type in the PVH Fund may be made by a Participant or Former
Participant (or, in the event of his or her death, his or her
Beneficiaries) if, as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding
such first mentioned Valuation Date, twenty-five percent (25%) or
more of the credit balances of his or her Accounts (other than
Matching Contribution Accounts) shall be a part of the PVH Fund.
As of, and on or as promptly as shall be administratively
feasible after, such Valuation Date, the Committee shall charge
and credit to such Accounts the amount so transferred (without
any interest or earnings accrued thereon from and after such
Account Balance Transfer Date) and direct the Trustee to effect
corresponding entries to the Funds; provided, however, that no
such election by a Participant who shall be a Section 16(b)
Participant shall become effective prior to the expiration of a
period of six (6) months after the latest to occur of (i) the
effective date of his or her first Payroll Contribution to the
Plan, (ii) the effective date of the last date on which he or she
shall have resumed Payroll Contributions to the Plan as provided
in the last sentence of Section 3.01(c) and (iii) the effective
date of the last such modification; provided, further, however,
that a Participant who shall be a Section 16(b) Participant may
only file an Account Balance Transfer Election with respect to an
Account which shall be a part of the PVH Fund during the ten (10)
day "window period" beginning on the third day following the

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02(a),
no election may be filed to transfer any amounts into the Fixed

times and subject to such conditions as the Committee may from
time to time determine, no election may be made to transfer
amounts out of the Fixed Income Fund as of any Valuation Date.
(b) Special Rule for Non-Transferable Accounts. Notwith-
standing the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02, at such

pant (or, in the event of his or her death, his or her Benefi-
ciaries) may file with the Committee his or her Account Balance
Transfer Election to have the entire credit balance in his or her
Accounts which shall be Non-Transferable Accounts transferred
from such Accounts in the PVH Fund to Accounts of corresponding
types but which shall not be Non-Transferable Accounts in differ-
ent Funds. As of, and on or as promptly as shall be administra-
tively feasible after, such Valuation Date, the Committee shall
charge and credit to such Accounts the amount so transferred
(without any interest or earnings accrued thereon from and after
such Valuation Date) and effect corresponding entries to the
Funds; provided, however, that a Participant who shall be a
Section 16(b) Participant may only file an Account Balance
Transfer Election with respect to an Account which shall be a
part of the PVH Fund during the ten (10) day "window period"
beginning on the third day following the release by the Company
of its quarterly financial information.
(c) Special Rule for Matching Contribution Accounts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02, at

birthday on or prior to such Valuation Date may file with the
Committee his or her Account Balance Transfer Election to have
all or a portion of the credit balance in his or her Matching
Contribution Accounts which shall be a part of the PVH Fund
transferred to Matching Contribution Accounts in a different Fund
or Funds. As of, and on or as promptly as shall be administra-
tively feasible after, such Valuation Date, the Committee shall
charge and credit to such Accounts the amount so transferred
(without any interest or earnings accrued thereon from and after
such Account Balance Transfer Date) and effect corresponding
entries to the Funds; provided, however, that a Participant who
shall be a Section 16(b) Participant may only file an Account
Balance Transfer Election with respect to an Account which shall

Committee may at any time and from time to time determine, upon
the application of any Participant or Former Participant who is a
"party in interest" within the meaning of section 3(14) of the
Pension Act, a loan shall be made to such Participant or Former
Participant under the Plan. The Committee shall provide that
loans be made available to all Participants and Former Partici-
pants in a uniform, nondiscriminatory manner and on a reasonably
equivalent basis. Only one loan may be outstanding at any time
with respect to any Participant or Former Participant.
(b) The minimum amount of any loan shall be $1,000.
(c) Loans made available to a Participant or Former
Participant in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.03(a)
when added to the outstanding balance of all other loans made by
the Plan and all other Related Defined Benefit Plans and Related
Defined Contribution Plans to such Participant or Former
Participant shall not exceed the lesser of:
(i) $50,000 as reduced by the excess, if any, of the
highest outstanding balance of any loans previously made by
the Plan and all such other plans to such Participant or
Former Participant during the one (1) year period ending on
the day before the date on which such loan is to be made
over the outstanding balance of any loans previously made by
the Plan and all such other plans to such Participant or
Former Participant on the date on which such loan is made
or
(ii) fifty percent (50%) of the credit balance in his
or her Accounts which shall be one hundred percent (100%)
vested and non-forfeitable.
The Committee shall require that any Participant or Former
Participant who receives a loan shall (A) give to the Trustee
adequate security for the repayment of the amount of such loan
(including a lien on the credit balance in his or her Accounts),
(B) issue to the Trustee his or her promissory note for such
amount, which note shall (I) have a term of not more than five
(5) years (fifteen (15) years, if such amount is used to acquire
the principal residence of the Participant or Former Partici-
pant), (II) bear interest at a rate commensurate with prevailing
interest rates charged by persons in the business of lending
money for loans made under similar circumstances, and (III)
provide for a payment schedule sufficient to pay the current
interest and to amortize the principal of such loan on a sub-
stantially level basis over the term of such note and (C) irre-
vocably authorize the Company and each Affiliated Corporation to
withhold from Compensation and other amounts payable to him or
her by the Company and/or such Affiliated Corporation and to pay
directly to the Trustee the amount required to be paid under such
note or provide for such other method of payment as may be
acceptable to the Committee. A loan may be pre-paid at any time;
provided, however, that any pre-payment shall include the full
principal amount of such loan and all interest accrued to the
date of such pre-payment.
(d) The Trustee shall hold each note issued by any Partici-
pant or Former Participant in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9.03(a) separately from such Participant's or Former
Participant's Accounts and, except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, neither such note nor any amounts due and owing
to the Trust Fund with respect to such note shall be part of the
credit balance in such Participant's or Former Participant's Ac-
counts.
(e) The Committee shall, (i) as of the Valuation Date
concurrent with the making of any loan referred to in Section
9.03(a), charge the amount of such loan to the Accounts of the
Participant or Former Participant making the same and (ii) as of
the Valuation Date concurrent with or next succeeding the
Trustee's receipt of any principal and/or interest payments with
respect to the note evidencing such loan, credit the same to the
Trust Fund and to the Accounts of such Participant or Former
Participant in accordance with his or her Investment Election as
then in effect.
(f) In the event that a Participant or Former Participant
shall not have fully repaid a loan upon the earliest to occur of
(i) such Participant's or Former Participant's death,
(ii) such Participant's or Former Participant's
ceasing to be a Participant or Former Participant in the
Plan,
(iii) a determination that such Participant or Former
Participant made a material misrepresentation in his or her
loan application,

for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code
or

the promissory note described in Section 9.03(b) shall be con-
sidered to be in default and the Trustee shall satisfy such loan
and cancel such promissory note by repaying the outstanding
balance of such loan from such Participant's or Former
Participant's Accounts when such Accounts become distributable
under the terms of the Plan.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 9.03, any loan outstanding on the Amendment Date to a
Participant was a participant in the Pre-Amendment Plan as in

Upon the request to the Committee of any Participant whose Vested
Percentage shall be one hundred (100), such Participant shall be

amount equal to the credit balances in his or her Matching
Contribution Accounts on the Valuation Date following the date of
the receipt of such request by the Committee which shall be

two (2) years prior to such Valuation Date.
(b) Each payment referred to in Section 10.03(a) shall be

the Committee shall, as of such Valuation Date, charge such
payment to the Matching Contribution Accounts of the Participant
requesting the same and direct the Trustee to effect correspond-
ing entries to the Funds.
10.04 Withdrawal of Before Tax Contributions and Rollover
Contributions. (a) Upon the request to the Committee of any
Participant, if the Committee shall in its sole and absolute
discretion and in accordance with the provisions of Section
10.04(b) determine that such Participant has suffered an imme-
diate and heavy financial need, there shall be paid to such
Participant in cash the amount equal to whichever shall be least
of (i) the amount specified in, or calculated in accordance with
provisions of, such request, (ii) the amount equal to the excess,
if any, of the aggregate of the Before Tax Contributions (but not
any earnings thereon) and Rollover Contributions theretofore made
by such Participant over the aggregate of the amounts theretofore
paid to such Participant in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 10.04(a), (iii) such amount as shall be determined
by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of Section
10.04(b) to satisfy such financial need or (iv) the aggregate of
the credit balances in his or her Before Tax Accounts and
Rollover Accounts as of the Valuation Date of payment. Such
payment shall be made as of, and on or as promptly as shall be
administratively feasible after, the Valuation Date next succeed-
ing the date of the approval of such request by the Committee
(without any interest or earnings accrued thereon from and after
such Valuation Date) and the Committee shall, as of such Valua-
tion Date, charge such payment pro rata to his or her Before Tax
Accounts and Rollover Accounts and direct the Trustee to make
appropriate entries to the Funds. No Withdrawal shall be made by
any Participant in accordance with the provisions of this Section
10.04(a) unless such Participant shall have made the maximum
amount of the Withdrawal permitted under the provisions of
Sections 10.02 and 10.03 and shall have made the maximum loan
permitted under the provisions of Section 9.03.
(b) In determining the amount of a Withdrawal to be per-
mitted under the provisions of Section 10.04(a), the Committee
shall examine all relevant facts and circumstances to determine
whether the Participant requesting such Withdrawal has an imme-
diate and heavy financial need. A financial need shall not fail
to be immediate and heavy merely because such need was reasonably
foreseeable or voluntarily incurred by such Participant. The
Committee shall require a Participant to submit any and all
documentation which it deems necessary to substantiate the
existence of a financial need. The circumstances under which a
financial need shall be deemed to exist shall include financial
needs attributable to:
(i) medical expenses described in section 213(d) of
the Code previously incurred by such Participant, his or her
Spouse or any dependents of such Participant (as defined in
section 152 of the Code) or necessary for such persons to
obtain medical care described in section 213(d) of the Code;
(ii) purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a
principal residence of such Participant;
(iii) payment of tuition, related educational fees and
room and board expenses for the next twelve (12) months of
post-secondary education for such Participant, his or her
Spouse or any children or dependents of such Participant (as
defined in section 152 of the Code); or
(iv) the need to prevent the eviction of such Partici-
pant from his or her principal residence or foreclosure on
the mortgage of such Participant's principal residence.
(c) A distribution in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.04(a) will not be treated as necessary to satisfy an
immediate and heavy financial need of a Participant if and to the
extent that the amount of such distribution is in excess of the
amount required to relieve the financial need of such Participant
or to the extent that such need may be satisfied from other
resources that are reasonably available to such Participant;
provided, however, that the amount of the distribution shall
include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local
income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from
such distribution. This determination shall be made in the sole
and absolute discretion of the Committee on the basis of all
relevant facts and circumstances. A distribution generally may
be treated as necessary to satisfy a financial need if the
Committee reasonably relies upon a Participant's written
representation that the need cannot be relieved:
(i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance
or otherwise;
(ii) by reasonable liquidation of such Participant's
assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself
cause an immediate and heavy financial need;
(iii) by cessation of Payroll Contributions under the
Plan and cessation of contributions to each other plan in
which such Participant is eligible to participate; or
(iv) by other distributions or nontaxable (at the time
of the loan) loans from the Plan and from every other plan
maintained by the Company and/or any Affiliated Corporation
or by borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable
commercial terms.
For purposes of this Section 10.04, a need cannot reasonably
be relieved by any of the means set forth above if the effect of
the use of such means would be to increase the amount of the
Participant's need. In addition, for purposes of this Section
10.04, a Participant's resources shall be deemed to include those
assets of his or her Spouse and minor children that are
reasonably available to such Participant.
10.05 Prohibitions Resulting from Withdrawal. (a) If any
Participant shall effect a Withdrawal as of any Valuation Date,
such Withdrawal shall be deemed to be a suspension of such
Participant's Payroll Authorization as then in effect commencing
on the first day of the calendar month next succeeding the
calendar month in which such Valuation Date shall occur, and such
Payroll Authorization shall not be subject to renewal until (i)
the first day of the calendar month occurring at least twelve
(12) months subsequent to such Valuation Date, if such Withdrawal
shall be a Withdrawal referred to in Section 10.04, or (ii) the
first day of the calendar month occurring at least six (6) months
subsequent to such Valuation Date, if such Withdrawal shall not
be a Withdrawal referred to in Section 10.04.
(b) A Participant who has effected a Withdrawal referred to
in Section 10.04 shall not be eligible to make contributions to
any Prohibited Plan maintained by the Company and/or any
Affiliated Corporation from the date of such Withdrawal until the

Plan Year in which such Withdrawal shall be effected shall not
exceed an amount equal to the excess of the $7,000 limitation

respect to the calendar year ending contemporaneously with such

402(g)(5) if the Code over his or her Before Tax Contributions to
the Plan with respect to the Plan Year in which such Withdrawal
shall be effected.
10.06 Limited Guarantee. In the event that (a) the sum of
(i) the credit balances in the Before Tax Accounts and After Tax
Accounts and (ii) the Vested Percentage of the credit balance in
the Matching Contribution Accounts of any Former Participant on
the Valuation Date concurrent with his or her Termination Date
shall be less than the aggregate of the Payroll Contributions
theretofore made by such Former Participant and not distributed
to such Participant in accordance with the provisions of Sections
3.04, 5.01(b), 5.02(b) or 5.06, and (b) such Former Participant
shall not at any time have effected a Withdrawal or otherwise re-
ceived any benefits under the Plan, then, the Committee shall, as
of such Valuation Date, treat an amount equal to the lesser of
(i) the excess of the aggregate of the Payroll
Contributions theretofore made by such Former Participant
under the Plan and not so distributed over the sum of (A)
the credit balances in his or her After Tax Accounts on such
Valuation Date, (B) the credit balances in his or her Before
Tax Accounts on such Valuation Date and (C) the Vested
Percentage of the credit balances in his or her Matching
Contribution Accounts on such Valuation Date
or
(ii) an amount equal to the Non-Vested Percentage of
the credit balances in his or her Matching Contribution

istratively feasible after, the Valuation Date concurrent with or

her Required Beginning Date shall be prior to his or her Termi-
nation Date, as of each Valuation Date thereafter through and
including the Valuation Date concurrent with his or her Termi-

Former Participant (or, in the event of his or her death, his or
her Beneficiaries) shall, no later than fifteen (15) days prior
to such Valuation Date, file with the Committee a Stock Payment
Election, then, the Committee shall direct the Trustee to dis-
tribute to such Former Participant (or his or her Beneficiaries)
the largest whole number of shares of the PVH Common Stock,
registered in the name of such Former Participant (or his or her
Beneficiaries), the value of which on such Valuation Date shall

Former Participant's Accounts which shall be a part of the PVH
Fund in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.09(b) and

10.11 Required Distribution. Each Participant whose
Required Beginning Date shall precede his or her Termination Date

tratively feasible after, the Anniversary Date concurrent with

ment being payable as of, and on or as promptly as shall be

fraction of the aggregate amount of the credit balances in his or
her Accounts on the Anniversary Date next preceding the Anniver-
sary Date as of which payment of such installment is to be made
the numerator of which shall be one and the denominator of which
shall be
(a) if his or her Beneficiary on such Anniversary Date
shall be his or her Spouse, the largest whole number which
shall be equal to or less than the expected return multiple
derived from Table VI contained in Regulation 1.72-9
promulgated under the Code based upon the birthdays of such

or
(b) if his or her Beneficiary on such Anniversary Date
shall be a natural person who shall not be his or her
Spouse, the largest whole number which shall be equal to or
less than the expected return multiple derived from said
Table VI based upon the birthdays of such Participant or
Former Participant and such Primary Beneficiary occurring in
the calendar year in which such Anniversary Date shall
occur, except that, if such Primary Beneficiary shall be
more than ten (10) years younger than such Participant, such
expected return multiple shall be determined on the
assumption that the date of birth of such Beneficiary is ten
(10) years after the date of the birth of such Participant,
or
(c) if his or her Beneficiary on such Anniversary Date
shall not be a natural person, his or her Applicable
Denominator shall not exceed the largest whole number which
shall be equal to or less than the expected return multiple
derived from Table V contained in such Regulation based upon
the birthday of such Participant occurring in the calendar
year in which such Anniversary Date shall occur
(without any interest or earnings accrued thereon from and after
such Anniversary Date) or such greater amounts as may be required
under Regulations promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury
under the authority of section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the
Committee shall charge such amount pro rata to such Accounts and
the Committee shall direct the Trustee to make corresponding
entries to the Funds. If such Participant shall have theretofore
filed with the Committee a Stock Payment Election, the Committee
shall direct the Trustee to distribute to such Participant the
largest whole number of shares of the PVH Common Stock,
registered in the name of such Participant, the value of which on
such Anniversary Date shall be equal to or less than the amounts
so charged to those of such Accounts which shall be a part of the
PVH Fund and, in any event, pay in cash to such Participant an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of the amounts so charged to
such Accounts over such value of such shares so distributed.
10.12 Age 59-1/2 Distribution. As of any Valuation Date on
or after a Participant's attainment of age fifty-nine and one-
half (59-1/2), a Participant may make a Withdrawal of the entire
value of his or her Accounts by giving notice to that effect to
the Committee, in writing, at least thirty (30) days in advance
of such Valuation Date; provided, however, that no such
Withdrawal may be made with respect to the Non-Vested Percentage
of the credit balance or a Participant's Matching Contribution
Accounts. Such payment shall be made as of, and on or as
promptly as shall be administratively feasible after, such
Valuation Date (without any interest or earnings accrued thereon
from and after such Valuation Date) and the Committee shall, as
of such Valuation Date, charge such payment to such Participant's
Accounts and direct the Trustee to make corresponding entries to
the Funds.
10.13 Direct Rollovers. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Article X, if a Former Participant or Spouse
of a deceased Former Participant who is entitled to receive an
Eligible Rollout Distribution shall become a participant in an
Eligible Receptacle Plan, and if such Former Participant or
Spouse of a deceased Former Participant shall so direct, and the
appropriate fiduciaries of such Eligible Receptacle Plan shall
agree, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Committee,
transfer from the Trust to such Eligible Receptacle Plan an
amount equal to such portion of such Eligible Rollout Distri-
bution as such Former Participant shall determine. Such amount
shall be transferred as of and on or as promptly as shall be
administratively feasible after the Valuation Date next succeed-
ing the date of such request.
10.14 Section 401(a)(14) Requirement. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, if any payment in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.09(a), 10.11 or

subsequent to the Normal Retirement Date of the Participant or
Former Participant referred to therein, such payment (or a
substantial portion thereof) shall be made no later than the
sixtieth (60th) day next succeeding the last day of the Plan Year
in which such Valuation Date shall occur.
10.15 Withholding. All payments made to any Participant or
Former Participant (and/or his or her QDRO Payee or Beneficia-
ries) shall be subject to withholding and to such other deduc-
tions as shall at the time of such payment be required pursuant
to any income tax or other law, whether of the United States or
any other jurisdiction, and the delivery to the Committee of such
receipts and/or releases as the Committee may reasonably request
and, in the case of payments to QDRO Payees or Beneficiaries of
deceased Former Participants, the delivery to the Committee of
all necessary tax waivers and other documents.
10.16 Payments to Minors. If the Beneficiary of any
Participant, Former Participant or QDRO Payee shall be a minor,
the Committee shall be fully protected if any payment required to
be made to such minor is made to any person who shall be a
custodian for such minor under the provisions of the Uniform
Gifts to Minors Act in effect in the State in which such minor
shall reside at the time of such payment.
10.17 Missing Payees. Notwithstanding any provisions
hereof to the contrary, if the Committee is unable to locate any
Former Participant, QDRO Payee or Beneficiary who is entitled to
a payment of his or her benefits within five (5) years of his or
her Initial Payment Date, such amounts shall be treated as a
forfeiture and credited to the Company's Holding Account as of
the Anniversary Date concurrent with or next succeeding the date
of such forfeiture and the Committee shall direct the Trustee to
make appropriate entries to the Funds; provided, however, that,
in the event such Former Participant, QDRO Payee or Beneficiary
is located subsequent to the time such a forfeiture occurs and
prior to the termination of the Plan, the amount forfeited, but
not any interest or earnings thereon, shall be restored by the
Company to such Former Participant's or QDRO Payee's Accounts no
later than the Valuation Date concurrent with or immediately
succeeding the date on which such Former Participant, QDRO Payee
or Beneficiary is located, the Committee shall direct the Trustee
to make appropriate entries to the Funds and such amount shall be

APPENDIX C
Tax Deductible Accounts
Notwithstanding the prior provisions of the Plan, the provisions
of this Appendix C shall apply to Participants who were
participants in the Pre-Amendment Plan on the date immediately
preceding the Amendment Date with Tax Deductible Accounts.
1. Definition. "Tax Deductible Account" shall mean an
account, permitted under the provisions of the Economic
Recovery Tax Act of 1981, under which contributions to
such account were deducted from an individual's gross
income for federal tax purposes for the year in which
made.
2. Contributions by Participants. Contributions by
Participants to a Tax Deductible Account were no longer
permitted as of January 1, 1986.
3. Fund Elections. Contributions to a Participant's Tax
Deductible Account were invested in either the TDA Fixed
Income Fund or the Equity Fund.
4. Withdrawals. A Participant for at least two years may
elect to withdraw funds from his or her Tax Deductible
Account by filing the appropriate form with the Committee.
Such election must be filed with the Committee, or its
delegate, prior to the effective Date of the withdrawal.
The dollar amount of the withdrawal shall be based on the
value of the Tax Deductible Account as of the Valuation
Date coincident with the filing of the application.
Provisions for withdrawals are as follows:
(a) A Participant may elect to withdraw funds in an
amount equal to the value of from 1% to 100% (in 1%
increments) of his or her Tax Deductible Account;
(b) Any withdrawal made by a Participant who has elected
to have contributions invested in more than one Fund
shall be made in equal proportions from each Fund;
and
(c) An interest penalty may be imposed under the terms of
an annuity contract used to hold assets under the TDA
Fixed Income Fund, subject to the terms and
conditions of the group annuity contract used as a
funding vehicle. Such a penalty, if any, shall apply
only in the event of an In-Service Withdrawal, and
shall not apply to interfund transfers nor to
distributions upon a separation from service for any
reason.
5. Distribution of Tax Deductible Accounts. Upon a
Participant's separation from service or death, the Tax
Deductible Account shall be distributed in the following
manner:
(a) Distribution upon death. The entire account balance
shall be distributed to the Participant's Beneficiary
in cash in a single sum, as soon as reasonably
possible following the Participant's death.
(b) Distribution upon separation from service for reasons
other than death, Permanent Disability or retirement.
The Participant's account balance shall be
distributed in cash in a single sum, as soon as
reasonably possible following the severance form
service date. Notwithstanding the above, at the
Participant's written direction, the entire account
balance may be transferred directly to another plan
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (provided
such plan provides for transfer of deductible
employee contribution accounts), or to an individual
retirement account, in the Participant's name.
(c) Distribution upon Retirement or Permanent Disability.
The Participant may elect a single sum payment in
cash, to be paid as soon as reasonably possible
following the severance form service date, or to have
the value of the Tax Deductible Account distributed
in one or more equal annual installments, not to
exceed ten. The first such installment shall be made
as of the first of any month specified by the
Participant, but in no event after the April 1
following the calendar year in which the latter of
the following occurs: (i) the Participant's
attainment of age 70 or (ii) the Participant's
severance from service date.
6. Limits on Contributions to a Tax Deductible Account. In
no event could the total contributions to a Participant's
Tax Deductible Account for any specific calendar year
exceed the lesser of $2,000 or 100% of the Participant's
earned income during that calendar year.
