2.   Base Rent.

     (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord Basic Rent (the "Basic Rent") at the
annual rate of $3.50 per square foot for the three (3) years of the Term, said
Basic Rent to be paid in equally monthly installments in advance on the first
day of each calendar month during the Term. Tenant may commence occupancy on May
1, 1998; however, payments of Basic Rent will commence on June 1, 1998. If the

Sublease shall be deemed-and constructed to be a "Net Net Net Lease." It is the
purpose and intent of the Landlord and Tenant that, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein to the contrary, the net rent shall be absolutely net
to Landlord so that this Sublease shall yield to the Landlord the "Basic Rent"
specified herein in each year during the term of this Lease, and that, except as
otherwise provided, all costs, expenses and obligations of every kind and nature
whatsoever relating to the Sublease Premises, including the taxes, which may
arise or become due during or in respect of the term of this Sublease, shall be

estate mortgage or real estate mortgages on the Premises; any franchise, estate,
inheritance, succession, capital levy, or any other tax assessments, charge or
levy based on or measured by the income or capital stock of the Lessor, if any.
If during the term of

                                       2
<PAGE>

this Lease, the law of New Jersey is changed so that all
or any part of the tax attributable to real estate shall be changed from a tax
on land to another form of tax imposed upon the owner of land and building, then
Tenant shall nevertheless pay such tax to the proportionate extent that it is or
may be attributable to the demised premises.

3.   Additional Rent.

     (a) Except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary, Tenant agrees to
assume and be obligated to perform all obligations and to pay all charges,
costs, expenses and taxes which are the obligation of Landlord under the

the Landlord under the Overlease, which are attributable to the sublease
Premises. Except to the extent that any of such items are attributable solely to
the Sublease Premises (in which event they shall be solely Tenant's cost and
expense), Tenant shall be responsible for 35.72% of Landlord's total obligation
for such charges, costs, expenses and taxes under the Overlease ("Tenant's

sole responsibility unless any such repairs are caused by the actions of
Tenant); (iv)Insurance as set forth in Section __; and (v) fire insurance,
whether paid by Landlord or Overlandlord under the Overlease. The foregoing
items (i) through (v) are not intended to limit Tenant's obligations, but are

obligations. In addition, Tenant shall be liable for any interest or penalties
charged to the Landlord by the Overlandlord under the Overlease plus the costs
and attorneys fees incurred by Landlord, as a result of the Tenant's failure to
pay any amounts or perform any obligations which are Tenant's obligation
hereunder.

     (b) Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of all utility charges
servicing the Premises, as Additional Rent. Specifically, Tenant's
responsibility for its share of gas expenses shall be allocated by estimating

expense.

above shall be payable and/or performed by Tenant as required under the

Sublease on Tenant's part to be performed, and each or any of them, shall be
collectible and recoverable as Additional Rent, and, in the event of nonpayment
thereof, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies provided herein and in
the Overlease as in the case of nonpayment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent
beyond applicable notice and cure periods.

Re:  Waiver

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
capitalization terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

     1. The Borrower has advised Lender that, for the year ending December 31,
1999, its Tangible Net Worth was less than ($74,000,000), the minimum Tangible
Net Worth permitted as of December 31, 1999 under Section 6.5 (Tangible Net
Worth) of the Credit Agreement; (ii) the Current Ratio was less than 0.60:1.00,
the minimum Current Ratio permitted as of December 31, 1999 under Section 6.6
(Current Ratio) of the Credit Agreement; (iii) Working Capital was less than
($10,500,000), the minimum Working Capital permitted as of December 31, 1999
under Section 6.7 (Working Capital) of the Credit Agreement; and (iv) net loss,
excluding any extraordinary or non-recurring items was greater than the
($5,000,000) permitted as of December 31, 1999 under Section 6.13(a) of the
Credit Agreement. As a result of such noncompliance, Events of Default have
occurred under Section 10.2 of Article X (Events of Default) of the Credit
Agreement ("Subject Events of Default"). Borrowers have requested Lender to
waive the Subject Events of Default, and Lender hereby waives the Subject Events
of Default.

     2. Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that all amounts
charged or credited to the Borrower's account as of March 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 March 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 Lenders' respective directors, officers, employees,
shareholders and agents from any an 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
modification 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 of any other provisions of the Credit Agreement nor of the specific
provisions referred to above for any other time period.

     4. In consideration of the waiver given by Agent and Lenders herein,
Borrower agrees to pay a non-refundable waiver fee to Agent, for the benefit of
Lenders in the amount of $40,000, which fee shall be in addition to any fees,
charges or interest otherwise payable by you under the Credit Agreement, and
which fee shall be fully earned as of the date hereof and payment of which may
be effectuated by charging Borrower's loan account.

     5. The terms and provisions of this agreement shall be for the benefits 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.

     6. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an
original and all of which taken together constitute one amendment. 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.

     7. 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, amended or terminated except in a writing executed by the
party to be changed.

                                        Very truly yours,
