PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITY

Development TestingWhen a fabric or garment is in the development stage, and the item is requested by a designer,Product Manager or Merchandise Manager, Warnaco will be responsible for all testing charges.But the vendor has to pay for all testing charges first, if the product is not adopted,Warnaco will pay back the vendor the development testing charges.

Production TestingIt is the responsibility of the vendors who supply development and bulk production fabrics andgarments to Warnaco, Inc. to pay for all testing charges, including the cost of destroying thefabrics and garments during evaluation. Invoices will be sent directly to the vendors from BureauVeritas laboratories. The current testing price list can be found on the related performancespecifications.

TESTING PROCEDURES

I. WARNACO’S RESPONSIBILITYWarnaco will provide the vendor with a copy of the Warnaco Quality AssuranceSoftlines Program Manual, sample submission requirements and performancestandards.

When a product fails testing, Warnaco will discuss the situation with the QualityDepartment, Division Merchandise Manager and the vendor, when necessary, toremedy the deficiency, to determine the disposition as to retest or cancellation of theorder.

II. VENDOR’S RESPONSIBILITYVendors to Warnaco are responsible for all fabric and garment testing of developmentand bulk production merchandise. Vendors must guarantee that all fabrics andgarments pass all tests before production begins and the final product is shipped. Thebest timing for fabric testing is upon the initial run of production. The best timing forgarment testing is upon receipt of our order with the correct samples. It is vendor’sresponsibility to ensure that all the necessary tests are done to meet Warnaco’srequirements.

All tests will be paid by the vendor.
