         Party in Article VI of the Credit Agreement are true on and as of the
         date hereof, with the same effect as though such representations and

                  (b) There has been no material change in the condition,
         financial or otherwise, of Baldwin, any Borrower or any of their

                  (c) The business and properties of each Credit Party and any

         most recent financial reports of Baldwin and the Borrowers received by
         each Lender under Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement have not been,
         adversely affected in any substantial way as the result of any fire,
         explosion, earthquake, accident, strike, lockout, combination of
         workmen, flood, embargo, riot, activities of armed forces, war or acts
         of God or the public enemy, or cancellation or loss of any major
         contracts; and

                  (d) No event has occurred and no condition exists which, upon
         the effectiveness of the amendments contemplated hereby, will
         constitute a Default or an Event of Default on the part of any Credit
         Party under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document either
         immediately or with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both.

         4. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment Agreement
is subject to the receipt by the Agent of (a) five (5) counterparts of this
Amendment Agreement duly executed by all signatories hereto and (b) all fees
payable by the Borrowers to the Agent and the Lenders on or before the date
hereof.

understanding and agreement of the parties hereto in relation to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes any prior negotiations and agreements among the
parties relative to such subject matter. None of the terms or conditions of this
Amendment Agreement may be changed, modified, waived or canceled orally or
