                 WAIVER AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS WAIVER AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") dated
effective as of September 7, 2000 (the "Effective Date") is by and between
COLLEGIATE PACIFIC, INC. ("Borrower"), and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK successor by
merger to Chase Bank of Texas, National Association, a New York state banking
corporation ("Bank").

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT. Bank and Borrower entered into a Credit Agreement dated
effective as of June 30, 1999 as amended by a Waiver and First Amendment to
Credit Agreement dated effective as of January 20, 2000 ("Credit Agreement").
"Agreement", as used in the Credit Agreement, shall also refer to the Credit
Agreement as amended by this Amendment. All capitalized terms defined in the
Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings
herein as in the Credit Agreement. Borrower has requested consent for
Indebtedness in the amount of $581,000.00 to be permitted under the terms of the
Credit Agreement. Additionally, Borrower has requested that Bank waive a
financial covenant violation that has occurred under the Credit Agreement. Bank
has agreed with Borrower to amend the Credit Agreement to the extent set forth
herein, among other things, to permit Indebtedness in the total amount of
$581,000.00 under the Agreement (such Indebtedness shall be evidenced by two
separate notes), to waive the Tangible Net Worth financial covenant violation
and to modify the Tangible Net Worth financial covenant require by Section 5.3
(as described on Exhibit C of the Agreement), provided that, the Indebtedness in
the total amount of $581,000.00 is defined as Subordinated Debt under the
Agreement and such Indebtedness is subordinated to Bank Indebtedness in Proper
Form.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises as well as other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Bank and Borrower agree as follows:

1. WAIVER AGREEMENT. Pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Agreement and as set forth
on Exhibit C, Borrower agreed to maintain a Tangible Net Worth financial
covenant of at least $4,000,000.00 plus 50% of Borrower's Positive Net Income.
Borrower has informed Bank that Borrower is out of compliance with this covenant
for the periods ended July 31, 2000 and August 31, 2000. Although Borrower is in
default under the Credit Agreement because of the failure to comply with the
above-referenced covenant as required, Bank is electing to waive this specific
default but only for the time periods ended July 31, 2000 and August 31, 2000.
This waiver does not constitute a waiver of any other defaults that may
currently exist or that may hereafter occur, including but not limited to the
above-cited Section of the Agreement. Bank's delay in exercising any of its
rights under the Credit Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any rights or
interests of Bank except as specifically agreed to in writing by Bank. This
Waiver Agreement is not a general waiver of the above-referenced covenant or any
other requirements contained in the Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the
past, Bank may have made advances under the Commitment at times when Borrower
did not satisfy all of the conditions precedent to advances and/or because
Borrower was in default under the Credit Agreement. Bank has the right to refuse
to fund an advance at any time that Borrower is not in compliance with the terms
of the Agreement. If Bank elects to make any advance to Borrower while Borrower
is out of compliance with the Agreement, the making of such advances shall not
constitute a waiver of any defaults then existing or thereafter arising under
the Agreement, and will not constitute the agreement of Bank to make further
advances in similar circumstances. This Waiver Agreement constitutes the only
evidence of Bank's waiver of compliance with the above cited Section of the
Credit Agreement.

2. Pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Credit Agreement, Borrower agreed not to form,
create or acquire any Subsidiary without giving prior notice to Bank and
complying with all terms of the Agreement. Borrower has advised Bank that it
intends to acquire Kesmil Manufacturing, Inc. and has requested that Bank permit
such acquisition under the terms of the Credit Agreement. Bank agrees to permit
Borrower's acquisition of Kesmil Manufacturing, Inc. under the terms of the
Credit Agreement, provided that, Borrower subordinate its indebtedness for the
Kesmil Manufacturing, Inc. acquisition to Bank Indebtedness and Borrower is in
compliance with all covenants of the Credit Agreement, including Section 4.9, as
appropriate.

3. The Tangible Net Worth financial covenant required by Section 5.3 of the
Agreement and as described on Exhibit C of the Credit Agreement is modified by
decreasing the minimum amount from $4,000,000.00 plus 50% of Borrower's positive
Net Income to $3,750,000.00 plus 50% of Borrower's positive Net Income plus 100%
of new equity raised by Borrower. The required amount for the Tangible Net Worth
financial covenant is calculated as set forth on the Exhibit C attached to this
Amendment. The prior Exhibit C of the Agreement is replaced with the Exhibit C
attached hereto and hereby incorporated into this Amendment and the Credit
Agreement for all purposes.

4. Borrower has requested that Indebtedness in the total amount of $581,000.00
evidenced by that certain subordinated promissory note executed by Borrower made
payable to Michael Blumenfeld in the amount of $536,000.00 ("$536,000
Subordinated Note") and evidenced by that certain subordinated promissory note
executed by Borrower made payable to Abe Blumenfeld in the amount of $45,000.00
("$45,000 Subordinated Note") be permitted under the terms of the Agreement (the
$536,000 Subordinated Note and the $45,000 Subordinated Note collectively
referred to herein and in the Agreement as the "Subordinated Notes"). Bank
consents to such Indebtedness being permitted under the Agreement so long as the
following conditions precedent are met:

         (a)      the Indebtedness in the total amount of $581,000.00 evidenced
                  by the Subordinated Notes is defined as and included within
                  the definition of Subordinated Debt;

         (b)      the Subordinated Notes are in Proper Form; and

         (c)      Borrower delivers to Bank all necessary and required
                  subordination agreements executed by the appropriate parties
                  in Proper Form.

Bank agrees that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Notes is
excluded from consideration as additional Indebtedness for Borrower and its
Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Agreement. Section 5.1 of the
Agreement (as reflected on Exhibit C) limits additional indebtedness for
Borrower and its Subsidiaries to no more than $100,000.00 in the aggregate
during the term of the Agreement. In order to reflect that the Indebtedness
evidenced by the Subordinated Note is excluded from consideration as additional
Indebtedness for Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 5.1 of the
Agreement, Section 5.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

"INDEBTEDNESS 5.1" Create, incur, or permit to exist, or assume or guarantee,
directly or indirectly, or become or remain liable with respect to, any
Indebtedness, contingent or otherwise unless there is a permitted amount set

permitted by this Agreement, or otherwise approved in writing by Bank, and
renewals and extensions (but not increases) thereof; (b) current accounts
