                                   ARTICLE IV.

                      MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

A.   CONTINUED CORPORATE EXISTENCE AND VESTING OF ASSETS IN THE REORGANIZED
     DEBTORS

     1. Except as otherwise provided herein (and subject to the Restructuring
Transactions provisions of Article IV.B), each Debtor will, as a Reorganized
Debtor, continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporate
Entity, with all the powers of a corporation under applicable law and without
prejudice to any right to alter or terminate such existence (whether by merger,
dissolution or otherwise) under applicable state law. Except as otherwise
provided herein, as of the Effective Date, all property of the respective
Estates of the Debtors, and any property acquired by a Debtor or Reorganized
Debtor under the Plan, will vest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor, free and
clear of all Claims, liens, charges, other encumbrances and interests. On and
after the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its businesses and
may use, acquire and dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims or
Equity Interests without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and
free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other than
those restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan or the Confirmation Order.
Without limiting the foregoing, each Reorganized Debtor may pay the charges that
it incurs on or after the Effective Date for professionals' fees, disbursements,
expenses or related support services (including fees relating to the preparation
of Professional fee applications) without application to the Bankruptcy Court.

     2. There are certain Affiliates of the Debtors that are not Debtors in the
Chapter 11 Cases. The continued existence, operation and ownership of such
non-Debtor Affiliates is a material component of the Debtors' businesses, and,
as set forth in Article IV.A, all of the Debtors' Equity Interests and other
property interests in such non-Debtor Affiliates shall vest in the applicable
Reorganized Debtor or its successor on the Effective Date.

B.   RESTRUCTURING TRANSACTIONS

     1. Restructuring Transactions Generally

     On or after the Confirmation Date, the applicable Debtors or Reorganized
Debtors may enter into such Restructuring Transactions and may take such actions
as may be necessary or appropriate to effect a corporate restructuring of their
respective businesses or simplify the overall corporate structure of the
Reorganized Debtors. Any Restructuring Transactions effected on or before the
Effective Date shall be subject to the prior consent of the Agent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such restructuring may include one or more
mergers, consolidations, restructurings, dispositions, liquidations or
dissolutions, as may be determined by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to
be necessary or appropriate. The actions to effect these transactions may
include: (a) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other
documents of merger, consolidation, restructuring, disposition, liquidation or
dissolution containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and
that satisfy the applicable requirements of applicable state law and such other
terms to which the applicable Entities may agree; (b) the execution and delivery
of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption or delegation of
any asset, property, right, liability, duty or obligation on terms consistent
with the terms of the Plan and having such other terms to which the applicable
Entities may agree; (c) the filing of appropriate certificates or articles of
merger, consolidation or dissolution pursuant to applicable state law; and (d)
all other actions that the applicable Entities determine to be necessary or
appropriate, including making filings or recordings that may be required by
applicable state law in connection with such transactions.

     2. Obligations of Any Surviving Corporation in a Restructuring Transaction

     The Restructuring Transactions may include one or more mergers,
consolidations, restructurings, dispositions, liquidations or dissolutions, as
may be determined by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors to be necessary or
appropriate to result in substantially all of the respective assets, properties,
rights, liabilities, duties and obligations of certain of the Reorganized
Debtors vesting in one or more surviving, resulting or acquiring corporations.
In each case, the surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation will perform the

effectuating the applicable Restructuring Transactions or the Effective Date, if
no such other date is specified in such other documents, and will be authorized
and approved in all respects and for all purposes without any requirement of
further action by stockholders or directors of any of the Debtors.

D.   NEW BANK FACILITY, OBTAINING CASH FOR PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS AND TRANSFERS OF
     FUNDS AMONG THE DEBTORS

     On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors are authorized to execute
and deliver those documents necessary or appropriate to obtain the New Bank
Facility. All Cash necessary to make payments pursuant to the Plan will be
obtained from the Reorganized Debtors' cash balances and operation, the New Bank
Facility and the Litigation Trust. Cash payments to be made pursuant to the Plan
will be made by the Reorganized Debtors; provided that the Debtors and the
Reorganized Debtors will be entitled to transfer funds between and among
themselves as they determine to be necessary or appropriate to enable the
Reorganized Debtors to satisfy the obligations under the Plan. Any Intercompany
Claims resulting from such transfers will be accounted for and settled in
accordance with the Debtors' historical intercompany account settlement
practices.

Litigation Trust Assets for and on behalf of the beneficiaries of the Litigation
Trust. Upon the transfer of the Litigation Trust Assets, the Debtors will have
no reversionary or further interest in or with respect to the Litigation Trust
Assets or the Litigation Trust. For all federal income tax purposes, the
beneficiaries of the Litigation Trust shall be treated as grantors and owners
thereof and it is intended that the Litigation Trust be classified as a
liquidating trust under Section 301.7701-4 of the Treasury Regulations and that
such trust is owned by its beneficiaries. Accordingly, for federal income tax
purposes, it is intended that the beneficiaries be treated as if they had
received a distribution of an undivided interest in the Litigation Trust Assets
and then contributed such interests to the Litigation Trust. The Litigation
Trust will initially be funded by the Litigation Trust Funding Amount, which
will be transferred to the Litigation Trust on the Effective Date and which will
be repaid to the Reorganized Debtors from the first proceeds received by the
Litigation Trust.

Debtors.

     The Reorganized Debtors and the Litigation Trust reserve and shall retain
the foregoing Causes of Action notwithstanding the rejection of any executory
contract or unexpired lease during the Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases. In accordance
with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any claims, rights and Causes of
Action that the respective Debtors may hold against any Entity shall vest in the
Reorganized Debtors and the Litigation Trust, as the case may be. The applicable
Reorganized Debtor or the Litigation Trust, through its authorized agents or
representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such
claims, rights or Causes of Action, and all other similar claims arising
pursuant to applicable state laws, including fraudulent transfer claims, if any,
and all other Causes of Action of a trustee and debtor-in-possession pursuant to
the Bankruptcy Code. The Reorganized Debtors and the Litigation Trust shall have
the exclusive right, authority and discretion to determine


                                       22

<PAGE>

and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release,
withdraw or litigate to judgment any and all such claims, rights and Causes of
Action, and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or
approval of any third party and without any further notice to or action, order
or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

     2. Preservation of All Causes of Action Not Expressly Settled or Released

     Unless a claim or Cause of Action against a creditor or other Person is
expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in the Plan or
any Final Order, the Debtors expressly reserve such claim or Cause of Action for
later adjudication by the Debtors and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine,
including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion,
claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches
shall apply to such claims or Causes of Action upon or after the Confirmation or
Consummation of the Plan based on the Disclosure Statement, the Plan or the
Confirmation Order, except where such claims or Causes of Action have been
expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or
a Final Order. In addition, the Debtors and the successor entities pursuant to
the Plan expressly reserve the right to pursue or adopt any claims not so
waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled that are alleged in any
lawsuit in which the Debtors are a defendant or an interested party, against any
person or entity, including the plaintiffs or co-defendants in such lawsuits.
Any Person to whom the Debtors have incurred an obligation (whether on account
of services, purchase, sale of goods or otherwise), or who has received services
from the Debtors or a transfer of money or property of the Debtors, or who has
transacted business with the Debtors, or leased equipment or property from the
Debtors should assume that such obligation, transfer or transaction may be
reviewed by the Reorganized Debtors subsequent to the Effective Date and may, to
the extent not theretofore expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised
or settled, be the subject of an action after the Effective Date, whether or
not: (a) such Person has Filed a proof of claim against the Debtors in the
Chapter 11 Cases; (b) such Person's proof of claim has been objected to; (c)
such Person's Claim was included in the Debtors' Schedules; or (d) such Person's
scheduled Claim has been objected to by the Debtors or has been identified by
the Debtors as disputed, contingent or unliquidated.

I.   LIMITATIONS ON AMOUNTS TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO HOLDERS OF ALLOWED INSURED
     CLAIMS

     Distributions under the Plan to each Holder of an Allowed Insured Claim
will be in accordance with the treatment provided under the Plan for the Class
in which such Allowed Insured Claim is classified, but solely to the extent that
such Allowed Insured Claim is not satisfied from proceeds payable to the Holder
thereof under any pertinent insurance policies and applicable law. Nothing in
this Article IV.I will constitute a waiver of any claims, obligations, suits,
judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action or liabilities that
any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including the Debtors' insurance
carriers.

J.   CANCELLATION AND SURRENDER OF INSTRUMENTS, SECURITIES AND OTHER

to such instruments, securities and other documentation or the cancellation
thereof, except the rights provided pursuant to the Plan; provided that no

K.   CREATION OF PROFESSIONAL ESCROW ACCOUNT

                        TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS
                              AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

A.   EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES TO BE ASSUMED OR ASSUMED AND
     ASSIGNED

     1. Assumption and Assignment Generally

     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument,
release or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan,
on the Effective Date, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the
applicable Debtor or Debtors will assume or assume and assign to the applicable
Reorganized Debtor, as indicated, each of the other Executory Contracts and
Unexpired Leases listed on Exhibit M; provided that the Debtors reserve the
right, at any time prior to the Effective Date, in consultation with the Agent,
to amend Exhibit M to: (a) delete any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
listed therein, thus providing for its rejection pursuant to Article V.C or (b)
add any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases thereto, thus providing for its
assumption or assumption and assignment pursuant to this Article V.A.1. The
Debtors will provide notice of any amendments to Exhibit M to the parties to the
Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases affected thereby and the Core Group.
Each contract and lease listed on Exhibit M will be assumed only to the extent
that any such contract or lease constitutes an Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease. Listing a contract or lease on Exhibit M does not constitute an admission
by a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor that such contract or lease (including any
related agreements as described in Article I.A.111 or Article V.A.2) is an
Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor has
any liability thereunder.

     2. Assumptions and Assignments of Real Property Executory Contracts and
Unexpired Leases

     Each Real Property Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease listed on Exhibit
M includes any modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements or other
agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument or other
document that in any manner affects such contract or lease, irrespective of
whether such agreement, instrument or other document is listed on Exhibit M,
unless any such modification, amendment, supplement, restatement or other
agreement is rejected pursuant to Article V.C.

     3. Assignments Related to the Restructuring Transactions

     As of the effective time of an applicable Restructuring Transaction, any
Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (including any related agreements as
described in Article I.A.111 and Article V.A.2) to be held by any Debtor or
another surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation in an applicable
Restructuring Transaction, will be deemed assigned to the applicable Entity,
pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

     4. Approval of Assumptions and Assignments

     The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court
approving the assumptions and assignments described in this Article V.A,
pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date. An
order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on or prior to the Confirmation Date will
specify the procedures for providing notice to each party whose Executory
Contract or Unexpired Lease is being assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to
the Plan of: (a) the contract or lease being assumed or assumed and assigned;
(b) the Cure Amount Claim, if any, that the applicable Debtor believes it would
be obligated to pay in connection with such assumption; and (c) the procedures
for such party to object to the assumption or assumption and assignment of the
applicable contract or lease or the amount of the proposed Cure Amount Claim.


                                       25

<PAGE>

B.   PAYMENTS RELATED TO THE ASSUMPTION OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED
     LEASES

     To the extent that such Claims constitute monetary defaults, the Cure
Amount Claims associated with each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be
assumed pursuant to the Plan will be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of
the Bankruptcy Code, at the option of the Debtor assuming such contract or lease
or the assignee of such Debtor, if any: (a) by payment of the Cure Amount Claim
in Cash on the Effective Date; or (b) on such other terms as are agreed to by
the parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. If there is a dispute
regarding: (a) the amount of any Cure Amount Claim; (b) the ability of the
applicable Reorganized Debtor or any assignee to provide "adequate assurance of
future performance" (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code)
under the contract or lease to be assumed; or (c) any other matter pertaining to
assumption or assumption and assignment of such contract or lease, the payment
of any Cure Amount Claim required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code
will be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and
approving the assumption. For assumptions of Executory Contracts or Unexpired
Leases between Debtors, the Debtor assuming such contract may cure any monetary
default (a) by treating such amount as either a direct or indirect contribution
to capital or distribution (as appropriate) or (b) through an intercompany
account balance in lieu of payment in Cash.

C.   EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES TO BE REJECTED

     On the Effective Date, except for an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease
that was previously assumed, assumed and assigned or rejected by an order of the
Bankruptcy Court or that is assumed pursuant to Article V.A (including any
related agreements as described in Article I.A.111 or Article V.A.2), each
Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease entered into by a Debtor prior to the
Petition Date that has not previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own
terms will be rejected pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. The
Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be rejected will include the
Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases listed on Exhibit N. Each contract and
lease listed on Exhibit N will be rejected only to the extent that any such
contract or lease constitutes an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. Listing
a contract or lease on Exhibit N does not constitute an admission by a Debtor or
Reorganized Debtor that such contract or lease (including related agreements as
described in Article I.A.111 and Article V.A.2) is an Executory Contract or
Unexpired Lease or that a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor has any liability
thereunder. Any Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease not listed on Exhibit N
and not previously assumed, assumed and assigned or rejected by an order of the
Bankruptcy Court will be rejected irrespective of whether such contract is
listed on Exhibit N. The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the
Bankruptcy Court approving such rejections pursuant to section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date.

D.   BAR DATE FOR REJECTION DAMAGES

     Notwithstanding anything in the Bar Date Order to the contrary, if the
rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to Article V.C
gives rise to a Claim (including any Claims arising from those indemnification
obligations described in Article V.E) by the other party or parties to such
contract or lease, such Claim will be forever barred and will not be enforceable
against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their respective successors or
their respective properties unless a proof of Claim is Filed and served on the
Reorganized Debtors, pursuant to the procedures specified in the notice of the
entry of the Confirmation Order or an order of the Bankruptcy Court, no later
than 30 days after the Effective Date.

E.   SPECIAL EXECUTORY CONTRACT AND UNEXPIRED LEASE ISSUES

     1. Obligations to Indemnify Directors, Officers and Employees

     (a) The obligations of each Debtor to indemnify any person serving as one
of its directors, officers or employees as of or following the Effective Date by
reason of such person's prior or future service in such a capacity or as a
director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership or other legal
Entity, to the extent provided in the applicable certificates of incorporation,
by-laws or similar constituent documents, by statutory law or by written
agreement, policies or procedures of or with such Debtor, will be deemed and
treated as executory contracts


                                       26

<PAGE>

that are assumed by the applicable Debtor and assigned to the applicable
Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Plan and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code
as of the Effective Date. Accordingly, such indemnification obligations will
survive and be unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order, irrespective of
whether such indemnification is owed for an act or event occurring before or
after the Petition Date.

     (b) The obligations of each Debtor to indemnify any person who, as of the
Effective Date, was no longer serving as a director, officer or employee of such
Debtor, which indemnity obligation arose by reason of such person's prior
service in any such capacity or as a director, officer or employee of another
corporation, partnership or other legal Entity, whether provided in the
applicable certificates of incorporation, by-laws or similar constituent
documents, by statutory law or by written agreement, policies or procedures of
or with such Debtor, will terminate and be discharged pursuant to section 502(e)
of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, as of the Effective Date; provided that to
the extent that such indemnification obligations no longer give rise to
contingent Claims that can be disallowed pursuant to section 502(e) of the
Bankruptcy Code, such indemnification obligations will be deemed and treated as
Executory Contracts that are rejected by the applicable Debtor pursuant to the
Plan and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date, and any
Claims arising from such indemnification obligations (including any rejection
damage claims) will be subject to the bar date provisions of Article V.D.

     2. Reinstatement of Allowed Secondary Liability Claims Arising From or
Related to Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases Assumed by the Debtors

     On the Effective Date, in accordance with Article III.F, any Allowed
Secondary Liability Claim arising from or related to any Debtor's joint or
several liability for the obligations under or with respect to: (a) any
Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is being assumed or deemed assumed
pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code by another Debtor; (b) any
Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is being assumed by and assigned to
another Debtor; or (c) a Reinstated Claim will be Reinstated. Accordingly, such
Allowed Secondary Liability Claims will survive and be unaffected by entry of
the Confirmation Order.

F.   CONTRACTS AND LEASES ENTERED INTO AFTER THE PETITION DATE

     Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor,
including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by such Debtor,
will be performed by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor liable thereunder in the
ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases
(including any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive
and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

G.   ASSUMPTION AND ASSIGNMENT OF D&O INSURANCE

     As of the Effective Date, the Debtors will be deemed to have assumed and
assigned to the applicable Reorganized Debtors all of the Debtors' directors'
and officers' liability insurance policies pursuant to section 365(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code. Entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy
Court's approval of the Reorganized Debtors' foregoing assumption of each of the
directors' and officers' liability insurance policies. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in the Plan, Confirmation of the Plan will not
discharge, impair or otherwise modify any indemnity obligations assumed by the
foregoing assumption of the directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies, and each such indemnity obligation will be deemed and treated as an
Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Debtors under the Plan for which
no proof of claim need be Filed. The Reorganized Debtors shall maintain
customary directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage for the
protection of persons serving as directors and officers of the Reorganized
Debtors on and after the Effective Date.

                                  ARTICLE VI.

                       PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

A.   DISTRIBUTIONS FOR CLAIMS ALLOWED AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE

     Except as otherwise provided in this Article VI and as to DIP Facility
Claims and Prepetition Facility Claims, distributions of Cash to be made on the
Effective Date to Holders of Claims that are allowed as of the Effective Date
will be deemed made on the Effective Date if made on the Effective Date or as
promptly thereafter as practicable, but in any event no later than: (i) 90 days
after the Effective Date and (ii) 90 days after such later date when the
applicable conditions of Article V.B (regarding cure payments for Executory
Contracts and Unexpired Leases being assumed), Article VI.D.2 (regarding
undeliverable distributions) or Article VI.I (regarding surrender of canceled
instruments and securities) are satisfied. Distributions on account of Claims
that become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date will be made pursuant to
Article VI.G and Article VII.C.

B.   METHOD OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF CLAIMS

     Reorganized C&A Corporation, or such Third Party Disbursing Agents as
Reorganized C&A Corporation may employ in its sole discretion, will make all
distributions of Cash, New Common Stock and other instruments or documents
required under the Plan. Each Disbursing Agent will serve without bond, and any
Disbursing Agent may employ or contract with other Entities to assist in or make
the distributions required by the Plan.

C.   COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES RELATED TO DISTRIBUTIONS

     Each Third Party Disbursing Agent providing services related to
distributions pursuant to the Plan will receive from Reorganized C&A Corporation
reasonable compensation for such services and reimbursement of reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services without
Bankruptcy Court approval. These payments will be made on terms agreed to with
Reorganized C&A Corporation and will not be deducted from distributions to be
made pursuant to the Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims (including any
distributions of Cash Investment Yield) receiving distributions from a Third
Party Disbursing Agent.

D.   DELIVERY OF DISTRIBUTIONS AND UNDELIVERABLE OR UNCLAIMED DISTRIBUTIONS

     1. Delivery of Distributions

          (a)  Generally

     Except as provided in Article VI.D.1(b), distributions to Holders of
Allowed Claims will be made by a Disbursing Agent: (i) at the addresses set
forth on the respective proofs of Claim Filed by Holders of such Claims; (ii) at
the addresses set forth in any written certification of address change delivered
to the relevant Disbursing Agent (including pursuant to a letter of transmittal
delivered to the relevant Disbursing Agent) after the date of Filing of any
related proof of Claim; or (iii) at the addresses reflected in the applicable
Debtor's Schedules if no proof of Claim has been Filed and the relevant
Disbursing Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address.

          (b)  Special Provision for Distribution to Holders of Prepetition
               Facility Claims

     Distributions of Cash to Holders of Prepetition Facility Claims will be
made on the Effective Date by the Debtors or a Disbursing Agent to the Agent for
the Pro Rata benefit of the Holders of Prepetition Facility Claims.
Distributions of Cash to the Agent shall be effected by wire transfer of
immediately available funds. Distribution of New Common Stock to Holders of
Prepetition Facility Claims will be made on the Effective Date by the Debtors or
a Disbursing Agent to the respective Holder of Prepetition Facility Claims.


                                       28

<PAGE>

          (c)  Special Provisions for Distributions to Holders of Senior Note
               Claims

     Subject to the requirements of Article VI.I, distributions to Holders of
Allowed Senior Note Claims will be made by a Disbursing Agent to the record
holders of the Senior Notes as of the Distribution Record Date as identified on
a record holder register to be provided to the Disbursing Agent by the Senior
Note Indenture Trustee within five Business Days after the Distribution Record
Date. This record holder register will provide the name, address and holdings of
each respective registered Holder of Senior Notes as of the Distribution Record
Date.

     2. Undeliverable Distributions Held by Disbursing Agents

          (a)  Holding and Investment of Undeliverable Distributions

     If any distribution to a Holder of an Allowed Claim is returned to a
Disbursing Agent as undeliverable, no further distributions will be made to such
Holder unless and until the applicable Disbursing Agent is notified by written
certification of such Holder's then-current address. Undeliverable distributions
will remain in the possession of the applicable Disbursing Agent pursuant to
this Article VI.D.2(a) until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable.
Undeliverable Cash (including dividends or other distributions on account of
undeliverable New Common Stock) will be held in segregated bank accounts in the
name of the applicable Disbursing Agent for the benefit of the potential
claimants of such funds. Any Disbursing Agent holding undeliverable cash will
invest such Cash in a manner consistent with the Reorganized Debtors' investment
and deposit guidelines. Undeliverable New Common Stock will be held by the
applicable Disbursing Agent for the benefit of the potential claimants of such
securities.

          (b)  After Distributions Become Deliverable

     On each Quarterly Distribution Date, the applicable Disbursing Agents will
make all distributions that become deliverable to Holders of Allowed Claims
during the preceding calendar quarter. Each such distribution will include, to
the extent applicable, a Pro Rata share of the Cash Investment Yield from the
investment of any undeliverable cash from the date that such distribution would
have first been due had it then been deliverable to the date that such
distribution becomes deliverable.

          (c)  Failure to Claim Undeliverable Distributions

     Any Holder of an Allowed Claim that does not assert a claim pursuant to the
Plan for an undeliverable distribution to be made by a Disbursing Agent within
two years after the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the last date on
which a distribution was deliverable will have its claim for such undeliverable
distribution discharged and will be forever barred from asserting any such claim
against the Reorganized Debtors or their respective property. Unclaimed Cash
will become property of Reorganized C&A Corporation, free of any restrictions
thereon, and any such Cash held by a Third Party Disbursing Agent will be
returned to Reorganized C&A Corporation. Unclaimed Warrants will be canceled.
Nothing contained in the Plan or the law will require any Debtor, Reorganized
Debtor or Disbursing Agent to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

E.   DISTRIBUTION RECORD DATE

     1. As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the
respective transfer registers for the Senior Notes, as maintained by the Debtors
or the Indenture Trustees, will be closed. The applicable Disbursing Agent will
have no obligation to recognize the transfer or sale of any Senior Note Claim
that occurs after the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, and any
Disbursing Agent will be entitled for all purposes herein to recognize and make
distributions only to those Holders of Senior Note Claims who are Holders of
such Claims as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

     2. Except as otherwise provided in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court,
the transferees of Claims in Classes 5 and 6 that are transferred pursuant to
Bankruptcy Rule 3001 on or prior to the Distribution Record Date


                                       29

<PAGE>

will be treated as the Holders of such Claims for all purposes, notwithstanding
that any period provided by Bankruptcy Rule 3001 for objecting to such transfer
has not expired by the Distribution Record Date.

F.   MEANS OF CASH PAYMENTS

     Except as otherwise specified herein, Cash payments made pursuant to the
Plan will be in U.S. currency by checks drawn on a domestic bank selected by the
applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor or, at the option of the applicable
Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, by wire transfer from a domestic bank; provided
that Cash payments to foreign Holders of Allowed Claims may be made, at the
option of the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, in such funds and by such
means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction. Cash
payments made pursuant to the Plan on behalf of DIP Facility Claims and
Prepetition Facility Claims will be made to the respective administrative agent
on the Effective Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

G.   TIMING AND CALCULATION OF AMOUNTS TO BE DISTRIBUTED

     1. Allowed Claims

     Subject to Article VI.A, on the Effective Date, each Holder of an Allowed
Claim will receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides
for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class. On each Quarterly Distribution Date,
distributions also will be made, pursuant to Article VII.C, to Holders of
Disputed Claims in any such Class that were Allowed during the preceding
calendar quarter. Such quarterly distributions also will be in the full amount
that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class.

     2. De Minimis Distributions

     No Disbursing Agent will distribute cash to the Holder of an Allowed Claim
in an Impaired Class if the amount of cash to be distributed on account of such
Claim is less than $25. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim on account of which the
amount of cash to be distributed is less than $25 will have its claim for such
distribution discharged and will be forever barred from asserting any such claim
against the Reorganized Debtors or their respective property. Any Cash not
distributed pursuant to this Article VI.G.2 will be the property of Reorganized
C&A Corporation, free of any restrictions thereon, and any such Cash held by a
Third Party Disbursing Agent will be returned to Reorganized C&A Corporation.

     3. Compliance with Tax Requirements

     (a) In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, each Disbursing
Agent will comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on
it by any governmental unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan will be
subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Each Disbursing Agent
will be authorized to take any actions that may be necessary or appropriate to
comply with such withholding and reporting requirements.

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, each Entity receiving
a distribution of Cash, New Common Stock or Warrants pursuant to the Plan will
have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any
tax obligations imposed on it by any governmental unit on account of such
distribution, including income, withholding and other tax obligations.

H.   SETOFFS

     Except with respect to claims of a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor released
pursuant to the Plan or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or
document entered into or delivered in connection with the Plan, the Reorganized
Debtors or, as instructed by the applicable Reorganized Debtor, a Third Party
Disbursing Agent may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or
applicable nonbankruptcy law, set off against any Allowed Claim and the
distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claim (before
any distribution is made on account of such Claim) the claims, rights and causes
of action of any nature that the applicable Debtor or


                                       30

<PAGE>

Reorganized Debtor may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim; provided
that neither the failure to effect a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim
hereunder will constitute a waiver or release by the applicable Debtor or
Reorganized Debtor of any claims, rights and Causes of Action that the Debtor or
Reorganized Debtor may possess against such a Claim Holder.

I.   SURRENDER OF CANCELED INSTRUMENTS OR SECURITIES

     As a condition precedent to receiving any distribution pursuant to the Plan
on account of an Allowed Claim evidenced by Senior Notes or Senior Subordinated
Notes, the Holder of such Claim must tender, as specified in this Article VI.I,
the applicable Senior Notes or Senior Subordinated Notes to the applicable
Reorganized Debtor or Disbursing Agent, together with any letter of transmittal
required by such Reorganized Debtor or Disbursing Agent. Pending such surrender,
any distributions pursuant to the Plan on account of any such Claim will be
treated as an undeliverable distribution pursuant to Article VI.D.2.

     1. Tender of Senior Notes

     Except as provided in Article VI.I.2 for lost, stolen, mutilated or
destroyed Senior Notes, each Holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim must tender
the applicable Senior Notes to the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with a
letter of transmittal to be provided to such Holders by the Reorganized Debtors
or Disbursing Agent as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date. The
letter of transmittal will include, among other provisions, customary provisions
with respect to the authority of the Holder of the applicable Senior Notes to
act and the authenticity of any signatures required thereon. All surrendered
Senior Notes will be marked as canceled and delivered to the appropriate
Reorganized Debtor or Disbursing Agent.

     2. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Senior Notes

     Any Holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim with respect to which the
underlying Senior Note has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed must, in
lieu of surrendering such Senior Note, deliver to the applicable Reorganized
Debtor or Disbursing Agent: (a) evidence satisfactory to the Reorganized Debtor
or Disbursing Agent of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction; and (b) such
security or indemnity as may be required by the Reorganized Debtor to hold the
Reorganized Debtors harmless from any damages, liabilities or costs incurred in
treating such individual as a Holder of a Senior Note. Upon compliance with this
Article VI.I.2 by a Holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim, such Holder will,
for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered the applicable
Senior Note.

     3. Failure to Surrender Senior Notes

     Any Holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim that fails to surrender or is
not deemed to have surrendered the applicable Senior Notes within two years
after the Effective Date will have its right to distribution pursuant to the
Plan on account of such Senior Note Claim discharged and will be forever barred
from asserting any such Claim against the Reorganized Debtors or their
respective property.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                    PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS

A.   PROSECUTION OF OBJECTIONS TO CLAIMS

     1. Objections to Claims

     All objections to Claims must be Filed and served on the Holders of such
Claims by the Claims Objection Bar Date, and (a) if Filed prior to the Effective
Date, such objections will be served on the parties on the then-applicable
service list in the Chapter 11 Cases; and (b) if Filed after the Effective Date,
such objections will be served on the United States trustee. If an objection has
not been Filed to a proof of Claim or a scheduled Claim by


                                       31

<PAGE>

the Claims Objection Bar Date, the Claim to which the proof of Claim or
scheduled Claim relates will be treated as an Allowed Claim if such Claim has
not been allowed earlier. An objection is deemed to have been timely Filed as to
all Tort Claims, thus making each such Claim a Disputed Claim as of the Claims
Objection Bar Date. Each such Tort Claim will remain a Disputed Claim until it
becomes an Allowed Claim in accordance with Article I.A.5.

     2. Authority to Prosecute Objections

     After the Effective Date, except as provided in the following paragraph,
only the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors will have the authority to File,
settle, compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to Claims. After
the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may settle or compromise any
Disputed Claim without approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that (a) the
Reorganized Debtors will promptly File with the Bankruptcy Court a written
notice of any settlement or compromise of a Claim with a Face Amount in excess
of $1,000,000 and (b) the Agent and the United States trustee will be authorized
to contest the proposed settlement or compromise by Filing a written objection
with the Bankruptcy Court and serving such objection on the Reorganized Debtors
within 20 days of the service of the settlement notice. If no such objection is
Filed, the applicable settlement or compromise will be deemed final without
further action of the Bankruptcy Court.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Effective Date, only the
Litigation Trust will have the authority to File, settle, compromise, withdraw
or litigate to judgment objections to Claims in Classes 5, 6 and 8. After the
Effective Date, the Litigation Trust may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim
without approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that (a) the Litigation Trust
will promptly File with the Bankruptcy Court a written notice of any settlement
or compromise of a Claim with a Face Amount in excess of $1,000,000 and (b) the
Agent and the United States trustee will be authorized to contest the proposed
settlement or compromise by Filing a written objection with the Bankruptcy Court
and serving such objection on the Reorganized Debtors no later than 20 days
after the service of the settlement notice. If no such objection is Filed, the
applicable settlement or compromise will be deemed final without further action
of the Bankruptcy Court.

B.   TREATMENT OF DISPUTED CLAIMS

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no payments or
distributions will be made on account of a Disputed Claim until such Claim
becomes an Allowed Claim.

C.   DISTRIBUTIONS ON ACCOUNT OF DISPUTED CLAIMS ONCE ALLOWED

     On each Quarterly Distribution Date, the applicable Disbursing Agent will
make all distributions on account of any Disputed Claim that has become an
Allowed Claim during the preceding calendar quarter. Such distributions will be
made pursuant to the provisions of the Plan governing the applicable Class.

                                   ARTICLE X.

             SETTLEMENT, RELEASE, INJUNCTION AND RELATED PROVISIONS

A.   COMPROMISE AND SETTLEMENT

     Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the
allowance, classification and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity
Interests and their respective distributions and treatments hereunder take into
account for and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and
Equity Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal and
equitable subordination rights relating thereto whether arising under general
principles of equitable subordination, section 510(b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy
Code, substantive consolidation or otherwise. As of the Effective Date, any and
all such rights described in the preceding sentence are settled, compromised and
released pursuant hereto, including for substantive consolidation purposes. The
Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court's finding and
determination that the settlements reflected in the Plan, including all issues
pertaining to claims for substantive consolidation (which are settled by the
distributions in the Plan), are (1) in the best interests of the Debtors and
their Estates, (2) fair, equitable and reasonable, (3) made in good faith and
(4) approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to section 363 of the


                                       34

action, claims or counterclaims, whether under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise
under applicable law, that may exist: (1) between the Debtors and the Releasing
Parties; and (2) as between the Releasing Parties (to the extent set forth in
the Third Party Release). As of the Effective Date, any and all such causes of
action, claims and counterclaims are settled, compromised and released pursuant
hereto. The Confirmation Order will approve all such releases of contractual,
legal and equitable subordination rights, causes of action, claims and
counterclaims against each such Releasing Party that are satisfied, compromised
and settled pursuant hereto. Nothing in this Article X.A will compromise or
settle in any way whatsoever, any Claims or Causes of Action that the Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors may have against the Non-Released Parties.

B.   RELEASES BY THE DEBTORS

     NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THE PLAN TO THE CONTRARY, ON THE

THE PLAN; AND (2) THE SERVICES OF THE DEBTORS' PRESENT OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS IN
FACILITATING THE EXPEDITIOUS IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RESTRUCTURING CONTEMPLATED BY
THE PLAN, EACH OF THE DEBTORS WILL PROVIDE A FULL DISCHARGE AND RELEASE TO THE
DEBTOR RELEASEES (AND EACH SUCH DEBTOR RELEASEE SO RELEASED WILL BE DEEMED
RELEASED AND DISCHARGED BY THE DEBTORS) AND EACH SUCH DEBTOR RELEASEE'S
RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION AND ANY OTHER
DEBTS, OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS, SUITS, DAMAGES, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, REMEDIES,

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

A.   DISSOLUTION OF THE CREDITORS' COMMITTEE

     On the Effective Date, the Creditors Committee will dissolve and the
members of the Creditors Committee will be released and discharged from all
duties and obligations arising from or related to the Chapter 11 Cases. The
Professionals retained by the Creditors Committee and the members thereof will
not be entitled to assert any Fee Claim for any services rendered or expenses
incurred after the Effective Date, except for services rendered and expenses
incurred in connection with any applications for allowance of compensation and
reimbursement of expenses pending on the Effective Date or Filed and served
after the Effective Date pursuant to Article III.A.1(g)(ii)(A) and in connection
with any appeal of the Confirmation Order.

B.   MODIFICATION OF THE PLAN

     Subject to the restrictions on modifications set forth in section 1127 of
the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable,
reserve the right to alter, amend or modify the Plan before its substantial
consummation.

C.   REVOCATION OF THE PLAN

     The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan as to any or
all of the Debtors prior to the Confirmation Date. If the Debtors revoke or
withdraw the Plan as to any or all of the Debtors, or if Confirmation as to any
or all of the Debtors does not occur, then, with respect to such Debtors, the
Plan will be null and void in all respects, and nothing contained in the Plan
will: (1) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against, or


                                       39
<PAGE>

any Equity Interests in any Debtor; (2) prejudice in any manner the rights of
any Debtor or any other party; or (3) constitute an admission, acknowledgment,
offer or undertaking by any Debtor in any respect.

D.   SEVERABILITY OF PLAN PROVISIONS

     If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the
Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court will
have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or
enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original
purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and
such term or provision then will be applicable as altered or interpreted.
Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration or interpretation, the remainder of
the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and
will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration
or interpretation. The Confirmation Order will constitute a judicial
determination and will provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it
may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is valid
and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

E.   CONSULTATION

     Reference in the Plan to "in consultation with the Prepetition Lenders" or
words of similar import shall mean in consultation with the Steering Committee
and/or other Prepetition Lenders in such manner and to such extent as the Agent,
in its sole discretion, shall determine is appropriate under the circumstances.
In no event shall a reference to such consultation require a vote by any
Prepetition Lenders.

F.   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

     The rights, benefits and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in
the Plan will be binding on, and will inure to the benefit of, any heir,
executor, administrator, successor or assign of such Entity.

G.   SERVICE OF CERTAIN PLAN EXHIBITS AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENT EXHIBITS

     Because the Exhibits to the Plan are voluminous, the Exhibits are not being
served with copies of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement. Any party in
interest may review the Plan Exhibits during normal business hours (9:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., local time) in the Document Reviewing Centers.

Order to be served on or delivered to the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the
Creditors Committee or the DIP Lenders must be sent by overnight delivery
service, facsimile transmission, courier service or messenger to:
