Avenel, New Jersey 07001

Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to the Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement
dated March 12, 1999 ( as amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") by
and among SIGNAL APPAREL COMPANY, INC. ("Borrower") and GMAC COMMERCIAL CREDIT
LLC, as Agent (in such capacity, "Agent") for the lenders ("Lenders") parties
from time to time to the Credit Agreement. All capitalized terms used and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in
the Credit Agreement.

     1.   The Borrower has advised Lenders that for the fiscal quarter ending
          June 30, 2000, (i) its Tangible Net Worth was less than ($71,000,000),
          the minimum Tangible Net Worth permitted as of June 30, 2000 under
          Section 6.5 (Tangible Net Worth) of the Credit Agreement; (ii) the
          Current Ratio was less than 0.70:1.00, the minimum Current Ratio
          permitted as of June 30, 2000 under Section 6.6 (Current Ratio) of the
          Credit Agreement; (iii) Working Capital was less than ($6,000,000),
          the minimum Working Capital permitted as of June 30, 2000 under
          Section 6.7 (Working Capital) of the Credit Agreement; and (iv) net
          loss, excluding any extraordinary or non-recurring items was greater
          than $500,000 permitted as of June 30, 2000 under Section 6.13(a) of
          the Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Covenant Default"). In
          addition, Borrower is not in compliance with the provisions of Section
          2.1(d)(ii) of the Credit Agreement for the

<PAGE>

          period ending August 7, 2000 (the "Clean-Up Provision"). As a result
          of such noncompliance, Events of Default have occurred under Sections
          10.2 and 10.5 of Article X (Events of Default) and Section 2.1(d) of
          Article II (Advances, Payments) of the Credit Agreement. Borrower has
          requested Lenders to waive the Covenant Default, and extend the date
          for compliance with the Clean-Up Provision from August 7, 2000 to
          August 15, 2000. Lenders hereby waives the Covenant Default and
          extends the date for payment of the Clean-Up Provision to August 15,
          2000, at which time payment shall be due and payable to Lenders in an
          amount equal to the amount which would have been due and payable had
          such payment been made on August 7, 2000.

     2.   Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that all amounts
          charged or credited to the Borrower's account as of July 15, 2000 are
          correct and binding upon the Borrower and that all amounts reflected
          to be due and owing in the Borrower's account as of July 15, 2000 are
          due and owing without defense, setoff, offset, recoupment, claim or
          counterclaim. Furthermore, Borrower hereby also irrevocably releases
          and forever discharges Agent and Lenders and each of Agent's and
          Lenders' respective affiliated concerns, as well as all of Agent's and
          Lenders' respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders and
          agents from any and all liabilities, demands, obligations, causes of
          action and other claims, of every kind, nature and description, known
          and unknown, which Borrower now has or may hereafter have, by reason
          of any matter, cause or thing occurred, done, omitted or suffered to
          be done prior to the date hereof.

     3.   Except as specifically set forth herein, no other changes or
          modifications to the Credit Agreement are intended or implied and, in
          all other respects, the Credit Agreement shall continue to remain in
          full force and effect in accordance with its terms as of the date
          hereof. Except as specifically set forth herein, nothing contained
          herein shall evidence a waiver or an amendment by Agent or Lenders of
          any other provision of the Credit Agreement, including without
          limitation, Section 2.6 of the Credit Agreement, nor of the specific
          provisions referred to above for any other time period.

<PAGE>

     4.   The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of
          the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; no
          other person, entity or corporation shall have any right, benefit or
          interest under this Agreement.

     5.   This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be
          an original and all of which taken together constitute one agreement.
          In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to
          produce or account for more than one counterpart signed by the party
          to be charged

     6.   This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of
          the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. This
          agreement cannot be changed, modified or terminated except in a
          writing executed by the party to be charged.
