REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE

Month

Year

March

1999

Superior Uniform Group, Inc.

10099 Seminole Boulevard

Seminole, Florida 33772-2539

(Hereinafter referred to as “Borrower”)

First Union National Bank

100 South Ashley Drive

Tampa, Florida 33602

(Hereinafter referred to as the “Bank”)

Borrower promises to pay to the order of Bank, in lawful money of the United States of America, at its office indicated above or wherever else Bank may specify, the sum of up to FIFTEEN MILLION and No/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00) or such sum as may be advanced and outstanding from time to time, with interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate and on the terms provided in this Revolving Credit Note (including all renewals, extensions or modifications hereof, this “Note”).

INTEREST RATE DEFINITIONS.

x LIBOR Market Index. LIBOR Market Index plus .60% per annum, as LIBOR Market Index may change from day to day (“LIBOR Market Index-Based Rate”). “LIBOR Market Index Rate”, for any day, is the rate per annum (rounded to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) for 1 month U.S. dollar deposits as reported on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such day, or if such day is not a London business day, then the immediately preceding London business day (or if not so reported, then as determined by Bank from another recognized source or interbank quotation).

¨ Prime Rate. The rate of Bank’s Prime Rate plus % as that rate may change from time to time with changes to occur on the date Bank’s Prime Rate changes (“Prime-Based Rate”). Bank’s Prime Rate shall be that rate announced by Bank from time to time as its prime rate and is one of several interest rate bases used by Bank. Bank lends at rates both above and below Bank’s Prime Rate, and Borrower acknowledges that Bank’s Prime Rate is not represented or intended to be the lowest or most favorable rate of interest offered by Bank.

INTEREST RATE TO BE APPLIED. Interest Rate. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of each Advance (as defined herein) under this Note from the date such Advance is made available to the Borrower at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus .60% as that rate may change from day to day in accord with changes in the LIBOR Market Index Rate to be adjusted monthly beginning April 26, 1999 (“Interest Rate”).

Default Rate. In addition to all other rights contained in this Note, if a Default (defined herein) occurs and as long as a Default continues, all outstanding Obligations in Bank’s discretion shall bear interest at the Bank’s Prime Rate plus 3% (“Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall also apply from acceleration until the Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in full, except as otherwise required by law.

A-1

INTEREST COMPUTATION. (Actual/360). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days in the interest period (“Actual/360 Computation”). The Actual/360 Computation determines the annual effective interest yield by taking the stated (nominal) interest rate for a year’s period and then dividing said rate by 360 to determine the daily periodic rate to be applied for each day in the interest period. Application of the Actual/360 Computation produces an annualized effective interest rate exceeding that of the nominal rate.

REPAYMENT TERMS. This Note shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly payments of accrued interest only on the first Business Day of each month, until fully paid. All outstanding principal will be repaid in accordance with the Loan Agreement, as hereinafter defined, and, if Borrower subscribes to Bank’s cash management services and such services are applicable to this line of credit, the terms of such services. In any event, this Note shall be due and payable in full, including all principal and accrued interest, on March 26, 2002, the maturity date of this Note. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary herein, or in any of the Other Agreements, Lender shall have the right to demand payment of the entire remaining balance of this Note if, at any time Maker prepays the Term Loan in full or the Term Loan is terminated pursuant to the Loan Agreement or the Other Agreements.

RESCISSION OF PAYMENTS. If any payment received by Bank under this Note or the other Loan Documents is rescinded, avoided or for any reason returned by Bank because of any adverse claim or threatened action, the returned payment shall remain payable as an obligation of all Persons liable under this Note or the other Loan Documents as though such payment had not been made.

LOAN AGREEMENT; LOAN DOCUMENTS; OBLIGATIONS. This Note is subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Loan Agreement between Bank and Borrower dated as of the date hereof, as the same may be modified and amended from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have such meaning as assigned to them in the Loan Agreement. The term “Obligations” used in this Note refers to any and all indebtedness and other obligations under this Note, all other obligations as defined in the respective Loan Documents, and all obligations under any swap agreements as defined in 11 U.S.C. §101 between Bank and Borrower whenever executed.

LATE CHARGE. If any payments are not timely made, Borrower shall also pay to Bank a late charge equal to 5% of each payment past due for 10 or more days. The Borrower acknowledges that the late charge imposed herein represents a reasonable estimate of the expenses of Bank incurred because of such lateness.

Acceptance by Bank of any late payment without an accompanying late charge shall not be deemed a waiver of Bank’s right to collect such late charge or to collect a late charge for any subsequent late payment received.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND OTHER COLLECTION COSTS. Borrower shall pay all of Bank’s reasonable expenses incurred to enforce or collect any of the Obligations, including, without limitation, reasonable arbitration, paralegals’, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, whether incurred without the commencement of a suit, in any trial, arbitration, or administrative proceeding, or in any appellate or bankruptcy proceeding.

USURY. Regardless of any other provision of this Note or other Loan Documents, if for any reason the effective interest should exceed the maximum lawful interest, the effective interest shall be deemed reduced to, and shall be, such maximum lawful interest, and (i) the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed applied to the reduction of the principal balance of this Note and not to the payment of interest, and (ii) if the loan evidenced by this Note has been or is thereby paid in full, the excess shall be returned to the party paying same, such application to the principal balance of this Note or the refunding of excess to be a complete settlement and acquittance thereof.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT. An “Event of Default” shall exist if any one or more of the following events shall occur (individually, an “Event of Default,” and collectively, “Events of Default”): Nonpayment; Nonperformance. The failure of timely payment or performance of the Obligations under this Note.

A-2

Event of Default Under Other Loan Documents. The occurrence of any Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents.

REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may at any time thereafter, take the following actions: Bank Lien and Set-off. Exercise its right of set-off or to foreclose its security interest or lien against any deposit account of any nature or maturity of Borrower with Bank without notice. Acceleration Upon Default. Accelerate the maturity of this Note and all other Obligations, and all of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable. Cumulative. Exercise any rights and remedies as provided under the Note and other Loan Documents, or as provided by law or equity.

REVOLVING CREDIT ADVANCES. This is a revolving credit note. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow, and Bank may advance and readvance under this Note respectively from time to time (each an “Advance” and together the “Advances”), so long as the total indebtedness outstanding at any one time does not exceed the principal amount stated on the face of this Note. Bank’s obligation to advance or readvance under this Note shall terminate if a Default exists.

WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS. No waivers, amendments or modifications of this Note and other Loan Documents shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an officer of Bank. No waiver by Bank of any Event of Default shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or the same Event of Default on a future occasion. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Bank in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Note and other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Each Borrower or any other Person liable under this Note waives presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, demand for payment, notice of intention to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, notice of sale and all other notices of any kind. Further, each agrees that Bank may extend, modify or renew this Note or make a novation of the loan evidenced by this Note for any period and grant any releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to any collateral securing this Note, or with respect to any Borrower or any Person liable under this Note or other Loan Documents, all without notice to or consent of any Borrower or any Person who may be liable under this Note or other Loan Documents and without affecting the liability of Borrower or any Person who may be liable under this Note or other Loan Documents.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Assignment. This Note and other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. Bank’s interests in and rights under this Note and other Loan Documents are freely assignable, in whole or in part, by Bank. Borrower shall not assign its rights and interest hereunder without the prior written consent of Bank, and any attempt by Borrower to assign without Bank’s prior written consent is null and void. Any assignment shall not release Borrower from the Obligations. Applicable Law; Conflict Between Documents. This Note and other Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the state where Bank first shown above is located as shown in the heading of this Note without regard to that state’s conflict of laws principles. If the terms of this Note should conflict with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall control. Severability. If any provision of this Note or of the other Loan Documents shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective but only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note or other such document. Plural; Captions. All references in the Loan Documents to Borrower, Guarantor, Person, document or other nouns of reference mean both the singular and plural form, as the case may be. The captions contained in the Loan Documents are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the Loan Documents. Binding Contract. Borrower by execution of and Bank by acceptance of this Note agree that each party is bound to all terms and provisions of this Note. Entirety.

(b) Certain Defined Terms. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) “Business Day” shall mean any day on which the Lender’s offices in Tampa, Florida, are open for business. Unless specifically denoted “Business Days” herein, references to “days” shall mean calendar days.

(ii) “Business Day Convention” shall mean the convention for adjusting any relevant date if it would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day. If “Modified Following” is specified, that date will be the first following day that is a Business Day unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case that date will be the first preceding day that is a Business Day.

(iii) The “Calculation Agent” shall have the meaning given to it in the Hedge Agreement.

(iv) The “Confirmation” shall mean with respect to an Hedge Agreement, one or more documents exchanged between the parties which, taken together, confirm all of the terms of such Hedge Agreement.

A-6

(v) The “Contract Rate” shall mean the 1 Month LIBOR Market Index Rate plus .80% (80 basis points).

(vi) The “Hedge Agreement” shall mean that certain ISDA Master Swap Agreement, together with the Schedule thereto and the Confirmation delivered in connection therewith, each executed by and between Maker and Lender on or about the date hereof and all extensions, modifications, supplements and replacements thereof or thereto.

(vii) A “LIBOR Period” shall mean a one month period, but in no event shall exceed in duration the remainder of the term of the loan evidenced hereby.

(viii) The “1 Month LIBOR Market Index Rate” shall mean for any day, the rate for one (1) month U.S. dollar deposits as reported on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such day, or if such day is not a London business day, then the immediately preceding London business day (or if not so reported, then as determined by Bank from another recognized source or interbank quotation).

(ix) The “Prime Rate” shall mean a variable rate per annum which equals the rate of interest announced from time to time by Lender as its prime rate, but which is not necessarily the lowest or best rate offered thereby at any time, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time, effective as of the effective date of each change in the prime rate.

(x) The “Reset Date” shall mean each date specified as such in the Confirmation, subject to adjustment in accordance with any applicable Business Day Convention.

(c) Limitations on LIBOR; Compensation for Increased Costs. If at any time prior to the proposed commencement of a LIBOR Period, Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) and shall have given notice to Maker that it has become impractical for Lender to continue to offer the Contract Rate to Maker or that Lender’s ability to continue to offer the Contract Rate to Maker has been materially adversely affected because:

(i)

by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar Market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest to be applicable during such LIBOR Period;

(ii)

deposits in U.S. Dollars for the duration of such LIBOR Period are not available to Lender in the London Interbank Eurodollar Market in sufficient amounts in the ordinary course of business; or

(iii)

the London Interbank Offered Rate will not compensate Lender for the cost to Lender of the funds to be used by it to fund the loan evidenced hereby during such LIBOR Period;

A-7

then, from after the date of such determination or at the end of such period as Lender, in its discretion, shall have agreed, the entire outstanding principal balance hereof shall accrue interest at the Prime Rate.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained, if at any time while any principal remains outstanding hereunder, Lender determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) and notifies Maker that, by reason of any law, regulation, treaty or official directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, by the authority charged with the administration thereof or by any court, it is unlawful or impracticable for Lender to continue to maintain or offer the Contract Rate or to give effect to any of its related obligations as contemplated hereby, Lender, by such notice, may declare that the entire outstanding principal balance hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of repayment, shall forthwith or at the end of such period as Lender, in its discretion, shall have agreed, accrue interest at the Prime Rate.

Maker shall reimburse Lender for all losses or expenses incurred by Lender as a result of (i) Maker’s failure to pay any sum due hereunder on its due date, (ii) repayment of any portion of the loan evidenced hereby prior to the end of the applicable LIBOR Period, or (iii) any acceleration of the due date of the loan evidenced hereby pursuant hereto.

(d) Taxation, Capital Adequacy and Other Increases in Cost of Maintaining LIBOR Rate. If there occurs any future law, regulation, treaty or official directive (whether or not having the force of law) or any change in applicable present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive (whether or not having force of law) or in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any governmental or other authority or entity charged with the administration thereof which now or hereafter shall:

(i)

subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Note or any outstanding principal hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on the capital or overall net income of Lender imposed by the laws of the United States, or any state thereof, or taxing authority therein);

(ii)

impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or any other acquisition of funds by, Lender; or

(iii)

impose on Lender or the London Interbank Eurodollar Market any other condition, restriction or limitation;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of maintaining or offering the Contract Rate or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder with respect thereto, then, in any such case, at Maker’s election, either (1) Maker shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand such additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount received which Lender deems to be material as are determined in good faith by Lender or (2) thereafter, all amounts outstanding under the loan evidenced hereby shall commence accruing

A-8

interest at the Prime Rate upon expiration of each LIBOR Period then in effect with respect to any portion of the loan evidenced hereby. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this clause, it shall promptly notify Maker of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate of Lender as to any such additional amounts payable to it and containing reasonable details of the calculation thereof shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

(e) Maximum Amount of Interest. It is the intention of Maker and Lender to conform strictly to the interest law applicable to this loan transaction. Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Note, or in any of the documents securing payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, the aggregate of all interest and any other charges or consideration constituting interest under the applicable interest law that is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under this Note or under any of the other aforesaid agreements or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by the interest law applicable to this loan transaction. If any excess of interest in such respect is provided for, in this Note or in any of the documents securing payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, then, in such event, (i) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (ii) neither Maker nor Maker’s heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by the interest law applicable to this loan transaction, (iii) any excess shall be deemed a mistake and cancelled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on this Note by Lender (or if this Note shall have been paid in full, refunded to Maker), and (iv) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum legal rate of interest allowed under such interest law as now or hereafter construed by courts of appropriate jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by the interest law applicable to this loan transaction, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of this Note.

Payment Terms.

(a) The outstanding principal balance hereof, together with interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the dates and in the amounts set forth on the Amortization Schedule attached as Schedule 1 hereto and hereby made a part hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding any term herein to the contrary or any term of any Other Agreements, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to demand immediate payment of the entire outstanding principal balance hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and charges thereon and any cost, including breakage cost, associated with any LIBOR contract or Hedge Agreement.

3. Prepayment. The principal amount of the Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time provided that Maker compensates Lender for any costs under the Hedge Agreement resulting from such prepayment.

4. Co-Terminus. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary herein, or in any of the Other Agreements, Lender shall have the right to demand payment of the entire remaining balance of this Note if, at any time:

A-9

(a) the Revolving Credit Loan has terminated pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement or the Other Agreements, including, without limitation, a termination on March 26, 2002; and

(b) An offer was made by Lender, no earlier than 90 days before the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Note, to extend, renew or replace at least $10,000,000 of the Revolving Credit Loan at an interest rate equal to or lower than the rate specified in the Revolving Credit Note and on terms (including without limitation fees) materially similar to the terms in the Loan Agreement and the Other Agreements and other terms then required by Lender for loans similar in size and risk to the Revolving Credit Loan; and

(i) failed to accept such offer within ten (10) Business Days after the offer was made by Lender, or

(ii) failed within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of documents evidencing such extension, renewal or replacement, to execute and deliver to lender such documents and to pay Lender for its costs and fees incurred and due in connection therewith.

5. Default Rate. Upon any Event of Default, and continuing until the Event of Default is cured, the outstanding principal of the loan and all other indebtedness evidenced hereby shall bear interest at a rate per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and days actually elapsed, equal to the Contract Rate plus three percent (3.0%), payable on demand, which rate shall apply as well before as after judgment.

6. Miscellaneous.

(a) If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a Saturday, Sunday or on any other day on which banks in Tampa, Florida, are not open for business, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) All payments received by Lender hereunder shall be applied first to unpaid interest and other charges and costs payable by Maker and second to the principal balance hereof.

(d) This Note shall bind Maker and its successors and assigns, and the benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. All references herein to the “Maker” and “Lender” shall be deemed to apply to the Maker and Lender, respectively, and their respective successors and assigns.

(e) This Note, for all purposes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida. In the event any provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of

A-10

such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note.
