NOTE C -- CONTINGENCIES
        The Company is party to a number of lawsuits and claims arising out of
the conduct of its business, including those relating to commercial
transactions, product liability and environmental, safety and health matters.

        All operating locations acquired by the Company since 1984 operate in a
variety of locations and industries where environmental situations could exist
based on current or past operations.  Certain operating and non-operating
subsidiaries of the Company have been named as potentially responsible parties
("PRPs") liable for cleanup of known environmental conditions.  For known
situations, the Company, with the assistance of environmental engineers and
consultants, has accrued amounts to cover estimated future environmental
expenditures.  The Company has initiated corrective action and/or preventative
environmental projects to ensure the safe and lawful operation of its
facilities.  It is possible, however, that future environmental expenditures
may be more or less than accrued amounts, or there could exist unknown
environmental situations at existing or previously owned businesses for which
the future cost is not known or accrued at August 31, 1994.

NOTE C -- CONTINGENCIES - CONTINUED

        While the ultimate result of the above contingencies cannot be
predicted with certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

        Under the terms of the January 1992 employment agreement with Jacques
R. Sardas, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, if
Mr. Sardas' employment is terminated for cause, or due to Mr. Sardas' death,
disability or voluntary resignation before the end of his employment agreement
in January 1996, the Company is obligated to pay to Mr. Sardas, in cancellation
of his 1,764,706 stock options which are currently exercisable at $.01 per
share, the appraised value of the shares underlying the options, less the
exercise price thereof.  In addition, the Company would also be obligated to
pay to Mr. Sardas a cash bonus, which is based on 5% of the net fair value of
the Company in excess of $35 million.  Based on the closing price of the
Company's Common Stock on August 31, 1994, the obligation for the options and
bonus would total approximately $13.6 million in the aggregate.  The Company is
the beneficiary of a key-may life insurance policy on Mr. Sardas' life in the
amount of $14 million.  The proceeds of this policy would be used to fulfill
the Company's obligation in the event of Mr. Sardas' death.

PART I, ITEM 2, MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUDBURY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1994 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1993

        SALES.  The Company's net sales from ongoing operations for the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 increased by 24% to $67.7 million from $54.4 million in
the prior year's quarter.  The Company experienced sales growth in all of its
businesses, with the largest sales dollar increases coming from Wagner Castings
Company ("Wagner") and Industrial Powder Coatings, Inc. ("IPC"), which sell
predominantly to the automotive industry.  As a result of the strong increase
in automotive industry demands for the quarter, the Company was able to
increase sales of existing products by $8.8 million.  In addition, sales
increased by $4.5 million from net new business.

        GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit from ongoing operations as a percentage of
net sales was 15.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to 13.3% in
the prior year quarter.  The increase in margin rate came from higher sales
volumes and a $.5 million favorable difference in scrap steel prices at Wagner.
In the first quarter of fiscal 1994, Wagner's margins were negatively impacted
by $.2 million due to significant price increases in scrap steel which is the
principal raw material used at Wagner.  By contrast, in the current period
Wagner recognized a $.3 million benefit from a decrease in the price of scrap
steel which occurred in the first two months of the quarter.  The price of
scrap steel subsequently rose in August 1994, therefore, Wagner is not
currently benefiting from scrap steel price differential.

        SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling and administrative
expenses from ongoing operations as a percentage of net sales decreased from
10% in the prior year quarter to 9.1% for the current quarter principally due
to higher sales.  In terms of dollars, expenses increased by $.7 million due
principally to:  (1) a contractual bonus accrual for Jacques R. Sardas,
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, (2) an increase
in sales commissions as a result of higher revenues, and (3) higher operating
costs at Wagner's Havana, Illinois plant which was in its start-up phase in the
prior year.

        INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense decreased by $.2 million due to
reductions in debt as a result of the Company's cash flow from profitability.
Partially offsetting this reduction was an increase in the Company's interest
rate on the bank indebtedness due to increases in the prime rate.

        OTHER.  Other income decreased by $.3 million as the Company received
miscellaneous proceeds from asset sales which were recorded as income in the
prior year's quarter which were non-recurring.

PART I, ITEM 2, MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUDBURY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1994 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1993 - continued

        INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Income tax expense in the current period of $1.3
million (an effective tax rate of 36.6%) represented a significant increase
over the prior year's expense of $43,000 (an effective rate of 3.8%).  The
expense in the current period arose from the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards that were established as deferred tax assets under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109.

         AUTOMOTIVE AND LIGHT TRUCK MARKETS.  As approximately 60% of the
Company's sales are dependent on the automotive and light truck markets in the
United States and Europe, related profits will be dependent on sales of
vehicles in these markets in the coming year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's financial position continued to improve during the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 as operating activities provided cash of $4.2 million
compared to $3.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.  This improvement
came principally from higher profitability.

          Long-term debt (including current maturities) at August 31, 1994 was
$30.0 million, a decrease of $2.3 million from May 31, 1994.  Long-term debt
represents 48% of long-term debt plus stockholders' equity at August 31, 1994
compared to 52% at May 31, 1994.  At August 31, 1994 the Company had the
ability to borrow an additional $21.8 million under its revolving credit
facility.

          Capital expenditures were $2.1 million in fiscal 1995 compared with 
$1.8 million in the prior year quarter.  The increase in capital expenditures
was mainly due to the purchase of equipment to be used in IPC's new powder
coating facility in Riverport, Kentucky.

          The Company believes that funds available under its current bank
facility and funds generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its
anticipated operating needs and capital improvements for the remainder of
fiscal 1995.

Re:  Amendment No. 5 to Loan and Security Agreement

Dear Mr. Brody:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Loan and Security
Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of May 28, 1993, as amended
from time to time, and executed by and among Sudbury, Inc.  (the
"Parent"), Cast-Matic Corporation, Frisby Mfg.  Co., Industrial
Powder Coatings, Inc.  ("IPC"), Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc., South
Coast Terminals, Inc., and Wagner Castings Company (collectively,
the "Borrower") and BankAmerica Business Credit, Inc., formerly
known as BA Business Credit, Inc. (the "Agent" and a "Lender"),
National City Bank, and Star Bank, National Association
(collectively, the "Lenders").  Certain capitalized terms used
herein shall have the same meanings attributed to them in the
Agreement.

The Agent, the Lenders, and the Borrower desire to modify the
arrangement previously made with respect to Havana Advances and the
Agreement is amended as follows:

1.  Section 2.2(g) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its
    entirety and replaced to read as follows:

          "(g) Upon receipt of a Revolving Loan, Wagner
          will immediately fund the amount of such
          Revolving Loan to Havana ("Havana Advance")
          which exceeds Wagner's Individual Borrower
          Revolving Loan Availability calculated without
          giving effect to (i) Wagner's loans
          outstanding to Havana and (ii) Havana
          Availability.  Wagner shall denote in
          accordance with the Notice of Borrowing what
          portion of its advance request is a Havana
          Advance.  Any advance requested by Wagner for

          use in the business and operations of Wagner
          shall not be attributable to Havana
          Availability.  Havana shall execute a master
          revolving credit note ("Revolving Note") in
          favor of Wagner and each advance by Wagner to
          Havana and each expense item paid by Wagner
          for and on behalf of Havana ("Havana
          Intercompany Advance") and each principal
          repayment from Havana to Wagner shall be duly
          recorded on the grid attached to the Revolving
          Note.  An "expense item" herein means any
          third party expense not related in any way to
          the operations of the business of Wagner with
          such expense items to be set forth in detail,
          acceptable to the Agent, and delivered to the
          Agent on the first day of each month
          hereafter.    A copy of the  grid shall  be
          furnished by Wagner to the Agent on the first
          day of each month hereafter.  The Revolving
          Note shall be payable on demand and be in form
          and substance acceptable to the Agent and the
          Lenders.  None of the Lenders shall be deemed
          to have made Revolving Loans directly to
          Havana."


2.   In connection therewith, Havana shall execute a replacement
     note ("Replacement Revolving Note") in form and substance
     acceptable to the Agent and the Lenders which shall be
     substituted for and supersede the Revolving Note, a copy of
     which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Except as modified herein, the Agreement remains in full force and
effect and is hereby ratified and affirmed.  Please indicate your
acceptance of this Amendment No. 5 to the Agreement by executing in
the places provided below and this Amendment No. 5 shall be deemed
effective as of the date first written above.

                                                      ------


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Wagner Havana, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Havana"), hereby absolutely and unconditionally
promises to pay to the order of Wagner Castings Company ("Wagner")
at Wagner's head office at 825 N. Lowber Street, Decatur, Illinois
62521 or at such other location as Wagner may designate:

      (a) the principal amount  of Seven Million Five Hundred
          Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000) or, if less, the aggregate
          unpaid principal amount of Havana Advances and Havana
          Intercompany Advances by Wagner to Havana pursuant to
          Section 2.2(g) of the Loan and Security Agreement dated
          as of May 28, 1993 (as amended and in effect from time to
          time, the "Agreement") among Sudbury, Inc., Cast-Matic
          Corporation, Frisby Mfg. Co., Industrial Powder Coatings,
          Inc., Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc., South Coast Terminals,
          Inc., Wagner Castings Company, and BankAmerica Business
          Credit, Inc. (the "Agent"), National City Bank, and Star
          Bank, National Association and

      (b) interest on the principal balance hereof on the first day
          of each month hereafter and at maturity (whether by
          acceleration, upon prepayment or otherwise) at a
          fluctuating per annum rate equal to the Revolving Loan
          Margin plus the Reference Rate, subject to the terms of
          SUBSECTION 3.1(d) of the Agreement.  Such Interest Rate
          shall be adjusted simultaneously with any change in the
          Reference Rate.  Interest charges shall be computed on
          the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed
          and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day
          of each calendar month hereafter, and as otherwise
          provided herein.

This Note evidences borrowings under and has been issued by Havana
in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.  Wagner, the Agent,
and any holder hereof are entitled to the benefits of the Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and may enforce the agreements of
Havana contained therein, and any holder may exercise the
respective remedies provided for thereby or otherwise available in
respect thereof, all in accordance with the respective terms
thereof.  All capitalized terms used in this Note and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as in the
Agreement.

<PAGE>   7
Havana irrevocably authorizes Wagner to make or cause to be made,
at or about the time of any Havana Advance or Havana Intercompany
Advance or at the time of receipt of any payment of this Note, an
appropriate notation on the grid attached to the Note, or the
continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including
computer records reflecting the making of such Havana Advance or
Havana Intercompany Advance (as the case may be) or the receipt of
such payment.  A copy of the grid will be furnished on a monthly
basis to the Agent.  The outstanding amount of the Havana Advance
set forth on the grid attached to this Note, or the continuation of
such grid, or any other similar record, including computer records
maintained by Wagner or the Agent with respect to any Havana
Advance shall be PRIMA FACIE evidence of the principal amount
thereof owing and unpaid to Wagner, but the failure to record or
any error in so recording any such amount on any such grid,
continuation, or other record shall not limit or otherwise affect
the obligation of Havana hereunder or under the Agreement to make
payments of principal of and interest on this Note when due.

Havana has the right to prepay the whole or part of the principal
of this Note at any time without premium or penalty.

If any one or more events of default shall occur in the Havana
Security Agreement executed between Wagner and Havana as of May 28,
1993, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note and all of
the unpaid interest accrued thereon may become or be declared due
and payable.

No delay or omission on the part of Wagner, the Agent, or any
holder hereof in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver of such right or of any other rights of Wagner, the Agent,
or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission, or waiver on any one
occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right
on any further occasion.

Havana waives presentment, demand, notice, protest, and all other
demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default, or enforcement of this Note, assent to any
extension or postponement of the time of payment, or any other
indulgence to any substitution, exchange, or release of collateral,
and to the addition or release of any other party or person

Sudbury, Inc.

Suite 203
Cleveland, Ohio 44124

Re:   Amendment No. 6 to Loan and Security Agreement

Dear Mr. Brody:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Loan and Security
Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of May 28, 1993, as amended
from time to time, and executed by and among Sudbury, Inc.  (the
"Parent"), Cast-Matic Corporation, Frisby Mfg. Co., Industrial
Powder Coatings, Inc., Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc., South Coast
Terminals, Inc., and Wagner Castings Company (collectively, either
the "Borrower" or "Borrowers") and BankAmerica Business Credit,
Inc., formerly known as BA Business Credit, Inc. (the "Agent" and
a "Lender"), National City Bank, and Star Bank, National
Association (collectively, the "Lenders").  Certain capitalized
terms used herein shall have the same meanings attributed to them
in the Agreement.

1.    In May 1994 Frisby Mfg. Co., an Illinois corporation changed
      its name to Frisby P.M.C.  Incorporated, an Illinois
      corporation but all references to such company shall continue
      to be Frisby in the Agreement.  Frisby shall agree to execute
      the necessary documents provided by the Agent to further
      effectuate this name change.

2.    In Section 1.1 of the Agreement new definitions are hereby
      added alphabetically to read as follows:

          "`CONSOLIDATED NET AVAILABILITY TEST' means
          when average Aggregate Revolving Loans
          Availability is at least thirty percent (30%)
          of the Revolving Loan Facility limitation
          measured on a five (5) day trailing basis."

<PAGE>   2
Mr. Mark Brody
Amendment No. 6 to Loan and Security Agreement
September 12, 1994
Page 2



          "`INDIVIDUAL NET AVAILABILITY TEST' means when
          average Individual Borrower Revolving Loans
          Availability is at least thirty percent (30%)
          of a Borrower's Individual Borrower Revolving
          Loan Facility limitation measured on a five
          (5) day trailing basis."

3.    With respect to audits performed by Agent's internal auditors
      for the Parent and the Borrowers, these audits will be
      conducted semi-annually rather than quarterly (except for IMT
      for which audits will continue to be performed on a quarterly
      basis or on a more frequent basis as the Agent so determines)
      and the $300 rate charged per day per auditor will be waived
      but not the out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with
      each auditor.  In addition, (a) audits will be limited to a
      fixed asset review for each Borrower with a Term and/or Cap Ex
      Loan but no Individual Borrower Revolving Loan Facility and
      (b) audits will not be conducted for a Borrower that has no
      Individual Borrower Revolving Loan Facility.  In the event of
      the occurrence of an Event of Default then the $300 rate per
      day per auditor will be reinstituted for all of the Borrowers
      together with a more frequent audit cycle as determined by the
      Agent. Further, a more frequent audit schedule may be invoked
      by the Agent for a specific Borrower if that specific Borrower
      fails to comply with its Individual Net Availability Test.

4.    The financial covenants set forth  in Section 9.28  (CURRENT
      RATIO) and Section 9.30 (ADJUSTED TANGIBLE NET WORTH) will no
      longer be a requirement under this Agreement.  The financial
      covenants set forth in Section 9.23(a), 9.23(b) (for IMT
      only), Section 9.24, Section 9.27(a), Section 9.27(f), Section
      9.29(a), Section 9.29(f) and Section 9.31 will be the only
      financial covenants tested.  In the event of a failure to
      maintain the Individual Net Availability Test or Consolidated
      Net Availability Test there will be a reversion to the
      financial covenant structure for either any specific Borrower
      or all of the Borrowers, as the case may be.

5.    If  an  Individual Borrower  Revolving  Loan  Facility  is
      terminated then the requirements under Section 6.9 of the
      Agreement for collection of Accounts shall no longer apply;
      provided, however, the specific Borrower shall enter into a
      springing lock box agreement in form and substance acceptable
      to Agent.  In the event there is either (a) the occurrence of
      an Event of Default or (b) the failure to maintain the

<PAGE>   3
Mr. Mark Brody
Amendment No. 6 to Loan and Security Agreement
September 12, 1994
Page 3



      Consolidated Net Availability Test then the requirements for
      cash dominion set forth in Section 6.9 will again be
      implemented for all Borrowers.

6.    Except  for IMT,  the collateral  reporting required under
      Section 6.7(a) and Section 6.7(b) of the Agreement shall be on
      a weekly basis rather than a daily basis.  In the event of a
      failure to maintain the Individual Net Availability Test or
      Consolidated Net Availability Test there will be a reversion
      to the daily reporting requirements of Section 6.7(a) and
      Section 6.7(b) for either all of the Borrowers or for any
      specific Borrower, as the case may be.

7.    The  following  new  definitions  are  hereby  added,   in
      alphabetical order, to Section 1.1 of the Agreement:

          "`BASE LIBO RATE' means, for any Interest
          Period, an interest rate per annum equal to
          the average (rounded upward to the nearest
          whole multiple of one-sixteenth of one percent
          (0.0625%) per annum, if such average is not
          such a multiple) of the rate per annum at
          which deposits in Dollars are offered by the
          principal office of Bank of America in London,
          England to prime banks in the London interbank
          market at 11:00 a.m.  (London time) two (2)
          Business Days before the first day of such
          Interest Period in an amount substantially
          equal to the LIBO Rate Loans requested for
          such Interest Period and for a period equal to
          such Interest Period.

          `EUROCURRENCY LIABILITIES' has the meaning
          assigned to that term in Regulation D of the
          Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
          System as in effect from time to time.

          `INTEREST PERIOD' means, with respect to each
          LIBO Rate Loan, the interest period applicable
          to such LIBO Rate Loan as determined pursuant
          to Section 3.7(b).

          `LIBOR INTEREST PAYMENT DATE' means, with
          respect to a LIBO Rate Loan, the last day of
          each month during an Interest Period, such
          payments to be payable monthly in arrears.

           Period for such LIBO Rate Loan.

           per annum interest rate equal to the sum of
           (a) the Base LIBO Rate for such Interest
           Period, PLUS (b) the remainder obtained by
           subtracting (i) the Base LIBO Rate for such
           Interest Period from (ii) the rate obtained by
           dividing such Base LIBO Rate by the percentage
           equal to one hundred percent (100%) MINUS the
           LIBOR Reserve Percentage for such Interest
           Period.

           `LIBO RATE LOANS' means, collectively the
           LIBOR Revolving Loans and the LIBOR Term
           Loans.

           `LIBO RATE TAXES' has the meaning specified in
           Section 3.7(i).

           `LIBOR RESERVE PERCENTAGE' means, for any
           Interest Period, the reserve percentage
           applicable during such Interest Period (or if
           more than one such percentage shall be so
           applicable, the daily average of such
           percentages for those days in such Interest
           Period during which any such percentage shall
           be so applicable) under regulations issued
           from time to time by the Board of Governors of
           the Federal Reserve System (or any successor)
           for determining the maximum reserve
           requirement (including, without limitation,
           any emergency, supplemental or other marginal
           reserve requirement) for Bank of America with
           respect to liabilities or assets consisting of
           or including Eurocurrency Liabilities having a
           term equal to such Interest Period.

           Revolving Loan Facility may occur only once
           during any Fiscal Year upon ten (10) Business
           Days notice to the Agent and will result in
           the following:

           a. Pro-rata reduction in the Total Inventory
              Sublimit,

           b. Reduction of Individual Revolving Loan
              Facility Limitations so long as the sum of

              Revolving Loans Inventory Sublimits does
              not exceed 1.09 times the Total Inventory

          one-quarter percent (0.25%) per annum on the

          receipt of such statements and certificate.
          The reductions of the Revolving Loan Margin
          described above and the ensuing reduction in
          the interest payable on the Revolving Loans do
          not apply to interest due and payable on the
          Term Loans or the Cap Ex Loans.  This interest
          rate reduction is also applicable in the case
          of Revolving Loans that bear interest under

          effect until after receipt of the Fiscal Year

12.  In Section 3.1(a) of the Agreement, the following language is
     hereby added:

          "If the Revolving Loans are LIBOR Revolving
          Loans then the Loans shall bear interest at a
          per annum rate equal to three and one-quarter
          percent (3.25%) for all Revolving Loans (the
          "Revolver LIBOR Margin") plus the LIBO Rate
          determined for the applicable Interest Period
          payable on the LIBOR Interest Payment Date,
          subject to the terms of Subsection 3.1(d).
          Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2, any
          of the Loans may be converted into, or

          percent (3.5%) for all Term Loans (the "TERM
          LIBOR MARGIN") plus the LIBO Rate determined
          for the applicable Interest Period, payable on
          the LIBOR Interest Payment Date subject to the
          terms of Subsection 3.1(d).  Subject to the
          provisions of Section 3.2, any of the Loans
          may be converted into, or continued as,
          Reference Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans in the
          manner provided in Section 3.6."

15.  A new Section 3.6 is hereby added to the Agreement to read as
     follows:

          "3.6 CONVERSION OR CONTINUATION.  (a) Subject
          to the provisions of Section 3.7, a Borrower

          applicable thereto; (iii) upon the expiration
          of any Interest Period applicable to any
          outstanding LIBOR Term Loans or any

          converted into, or continued under the foregoing clause (iii) as,
          LIBO Rate Loans when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and
          is continuing.

          (b) Whenever the Borrower elects to convert or continue Loans
          under this Section 3.6, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a
          written notice substantially in the form of that attached hereto as
          Exhibit A (a "Notice of Conversion/Continuation"), signed by an
          authorized officer of the Borrower (i) no later than 11:00 a.m.
          (Chicago time) two (2) Business Days in advance of the requested
          conversion date, in the case of a conversion into Reference Rate
          Loans, and (ii) no later than 11:00 a.m.  (Chicago time) three (3)
          Business Days in advance of the requested conversion/continuation
          date, in the case of a conversion into, or continuation of, LIBO Rate
          Loans.  The Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify (i) the
          conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii)
          the amount and type of the Loans to be converted/continued, (iii) the
          nature of the requested conversion/continuation, and (iv) in the case
          of a conversion into, or continuation of, LIBO Rate Loans, the
          requested Interest Period.  In the event that the Borrower should
          fail to provide a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to
          any LIBO Rate Loans as provided above, such Loans shall, on the last
          day of the Interest Period with respect to such Loans, convert to
          Reference Rate Loans.

          (c) Any officer of the Borrower authorized to request Revolving
          Loans on behalf of the Borrower shall also be authorized to request a
          conversion/continuation on behalf of the

          Borrower.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely
          on such officers' authority until the Agent is
          notified to the contrary in writing.  The
          Agent shall incur no liability to the Borrower
          in acting upon any notice referred to in this
          Section 3.6 which notice the Agent believes in
          good faith to have been given by an officer
          authorized to make such requests on behalf of
          the Borrower, or for otherwise acting in good
          faith under this Section 3.6 and, upon such
          conversion/continuation in good faith by the
          Agent in accordance with this Agreement, the
          Borrower    shall    have    effected     the
          conversion/continuation of the applicable
          Loans hereunder.

          (d) Any notice of Conversion/Continuation for
          conversion to, or continuation of, Loans made
          pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall be
          irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to
          convert or continue in accordance therewith."

16.  A new Section 3.7 is hereby added to the Agreement to read as
     follows:


          "3.7 SPECIAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING LIBO RATE
          LOANS.  Notwithstanding any other provisions
          to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
          the following provisions shall govern with-
          respect to LIBO Rate Loans as to the matters
          covered:

          (a)    AMOUNT  OF  LIBO  RATE  LOANS.    Each
          continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Term
          Loans, and each election of, continuation of,
          or conversion to a LIBOR Revolving Loan, shall
          be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in
          integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of
          that amount (i.e., $1,500,000, $2,000,000,
          $2,500,000, etc.).

          (b) DETERMINATION OF INTEREST PERIOD.  By
          giving notice as set forth in Section 3.6(b),
          the Borrower shall have the option, subject to
          the other provisions of this Section 3.7, to
          specify whether the Interest Period for such

<PAGE>   11

Amendment No. 6 to Loan and Security Agreement
September 12, 1994
Page 11


          LIBO Rate Loan shall be a one (1), two (2), or
          three (3) month period.  The determination of
          Interest Periods shall be subject to the
          following provisions:


              (i)    In  the  case  of  immediately
              successive Interest Periods, each
              successive Interest Period shall
              commence on the day on which the next
              preceding Interest Period expires (in
              order that either such (1) successive
              Interest Period, or (2) shall at all times be
              in effect, without overlap).

              (ii)   If  any  Interest  Period would
              otherwise expire on a day which is not
              a Business Day, the Interest Period
              shall be extended to expire on the next
              succeeding Business Day; PROVIDED,
              HOWEVER, that if the next succeeding
              Business Day occurs in the following
              calendar month, then such Interest
              Period shall expire on the immediately
              preceding Business Day.

              (iii)  The Borrower may not select an
              Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Loan
              which Interest Period expires later
              than the Termination Date.

              (iv)   The Borrower may not select an
              Interest Period with respect to any
              portion of the Term Loans which extends
              beyond an installment payment date for
              the Term Loans unless, after giving
              effect to such election, the portion of
              the Term Loans not subject to Interest
              Periods ending after such installment
              payment date is equal to or greater
              than   the  principal  due  on  such
              installment payment date.

              (v) There shall be no more than one
              (1) Interest Period in effect at any

Page 12


              one time for each of the Revolving
              Loans and Term Loans.

          (c) DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE.  As soon
          as practicable after 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time)
          on the LIBOR Interest Rate Determination Date,
          the Agent shall determine (which determination
          shall, absent manifest error, be presumptively
          correct) the Interest Rate for the LIBO Rate
          Loans for which an Interest Rate is then being
          determined and shall promptly give notice
          thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed
          in writing) to the Borrower.

          (d) SUBSTITUTED RATE OF BORROWING.  In the
          event that on any LIBOR Interest Rate
          Determination Date the Agent shall have
          determined (which determination shall be
          presumptively correct and binding upon all
          parties) that:

              (i) by reason of any changes arising
              after the date of this Agreement
              affecting the London interbank market
              or affecting the position of the Agent
              in such market, adequate and fair means
              do not exist for ascertaining the
              applicable interest rates by reference
              to which the LIBO Rate then being
              determined is to be fixed; or

              (ii) by reason of (1) any change after
              the date of this Agreement in any
              applicable law or governmental rule,
              regulation    or   order     (or    any
              interpretation thereof and including
              the introduction of any new law or
              governmental rule, regulation, or
              order) or (2) any other circumstances
              affecting the Agent or the London
              interbank market or the position of the
              Agent in such market such as, for
              example, but not limited to, official
              reserve requirements required by
              Regulation D of the Board of Governors

             of the Federal Reserve system to the
             extent not given effect in the LIBO
             Rate), the LIBO Rate shall not
             represent the effective pricing to the
             Agent for Dollar deposits of comparable
             amount for the relevant period;

          then, and in any such event, the right of the
          Borrower to request application of the LIBO
          Rate to some or all of the Loans shall be
          suspended until the Agent shall notify the
          Borrower that the circumstances causing such
          suspension no longer exist, and such Loans
          shall be Reference Rate Loans.

          (e) ILLEGALITY.  In the event that on any
          date the Agent shall have reasonably
          determined (which determination shall be final
          and conclusive and binding upon all parties)
          that the making of, conversion into, or the
          continuation of, the Agent's LIBO Rate Loans
          has become unlawful by compliance by the Agent
          in good faith with any law, governmental rule,
          regulation or order (whether or not having the
          force of law and whether or not failure to
          comply therewith would be unlawful), then, and
          in any such event, the Agent shall promptly
          give notice (by telephone confirmed in
          writing)    to   the   Borrower   of   such
          determination.  In such case and except as
          provided in Section 3.7(f), the obligation of
          the Agent to make or maintain any LIBO Rate
          Loans during any such period shall be
          terminated at the earlier of the termination
          of the Interest Period then in effect or when
          required by law, and the Borrower shall, no
          later than the earlier of the termination of
          the Interest Period in effect at the time any
          such determination pursuant to this Section
          3.7(e) is made, or when required by law, repay
          the LIBO Rate Loans, together with all
          interest accrued thereon.

          (f) OPTIONS OF THE BORROWER.  In lieu of
          prepaying the LIBO Rate Loans as required by

<PAGE>   14
Mr. Mark Brody
Amendment No. 6 to Loan and Security Agreement
September 12, 1994
Page 14


          Section 3.7(e), the Borrower may exercise
          either of the following options:

             (i) Upon written notice to the Agent,
             the Borrower may release Agent from its
             obligation to make or maintain Loans as
             LIBO Rate Loans and in such event, the
             Borrower shall, at the end of the then
             current Interest Period (or at such
             earlier time as prepayment is otherwise
             required), convert all of the LIBO Rate
             Loans into Reference Rate Loans in the
             manner contemplated by Section 3.6, but
             without satisfying the advance notice
             requirements therein; or

             (ii)    The  Borrower  may,  by  giving
             notice to the Agent, require the Agent
             to continue to maintain its outstanding
             Reference Rate Loans then the subject
             of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation
             as Reference Rate Loans, but without
             satisfying     the   advance    notice
             requirements set forth in such Section
             3.6.

          (g)    COMPENSATION.    In addition  to  such
          amounts as are required to be paid by the
          Borrower pursuant to the other Sections of
          this Article 3, the Borrower agrees to
          compensate the Agent for all losses, expenses
          and    liabilities,     including,     without
          limitation, any loss or expense incurred by
          reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
          deposits or other funds acquired by the Agent
          to fund or maintain the Agent's LIBO Rate
          Loans to the Borrower, which the Agent may
          sustain (i) if for any reason a funding of any
          LIBO Rate Loans does not occur on a date
          specified thereof in a Notice of Borrowing or
          Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or a
          successive Interest Period does not commence
          after notice therefor is given pursuant to
          Section 3.6, (ii) if any voluntary or
          mandatory prepayment of any LIBO Rate Loans

<PAGE>   15
Amendment No. 6 to Loan and Security Agreement
September 12, 1994
Page 15


          occurs for any reason on a date which is not
          the last scheduled day of an Interest Period,
          (iii) as a consequence of any required
          conversion of LIBO Rate Loans to Reference
          Rate Loans as a result of any of the events
          indicated in Section 3.7(e) or (iv) as a
          consequence of any other failure by the
          Borrower to repay LIBO Rate Loans when
          required by the terms of this Agreement.

          (h) QUOTATION OF LIBO RATE.  Anything herein
          to the contrary notwithstanding, if on any
          LIBOR Interest Rate Determination Date no LIBO
          Rate is available by reason of the failure of
          BofA to provide offered quotations to prime
          banks in accordance with the definition of
          "Base LIBO Rate", the Agent shall give the
          Borrower prompt notice thereof and (i) any
          LIBO Rate Loan requested to be made at the
          LIBO Rate to be determined on any such LIBOR
          Interest Rate Determination Date shall be made
          as a Reference Rate Loan, and (ii) any notice
          given by the Borrower to convert any Loans
          into or to continue any Loans as LIBO Rate
          Loans at the LIBO Rate to be determined on any
          such LIBOR Interest Rate Determination Date
          shall be ineffective.

          (i) LIBO RATE TAXES.  The Borrower agrees
          that it will pay, prior to the date on which
          penalties attach thereto, all present and
          future income, stamp and other taxes, levies,
          or costs and charge whatsoever imposed,
          assessed, levied or collected on or from the
          Agent on or in respect of the Borrower's Loans
          from the Agent solely as a result of the
          interest rate being determined by reference to
          the LIBO Rate and/or the provisions of this
          Agreement relating to the LIBO Rate and/or the
          recording, registration, notarization or other
          formalization of any of the foregoing and/or
          any payment of principal, interest or other
          amounts made on or in respect of the Loans
          from the Agent when the interest rate is
          determined by reference to the LIBO Rate (all

<PAGE>   16
Mr. Mark Brody
Amendment No. 6 to Loan and Security Agreement
September 12, 1994
Page 16


          such taxes, levies, costs and charges being
          herein collectively called "LIBO Rate Taxes")
          PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that LIBO Rate Taxes shall
          not include taxes imposed on or measured by
          the overall net income of the Agent by the
          United States of America or any political
          subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
          therein, or taxes on or measured by the
          overall net income by any foreign branch or
          subsidiary of the Agent by any foreign country
          or subdivision thereof in which that branch or
          subsidiary is doing business.  The Borrower
          agrees that it shall also pay such additional
          amounts as equal increases in taxes payable by
          the Agent which increases are attributable to
          payments made by the Borrower described in
          this sentence and in the immediately preceding
          sentence of this Section 3.7(i).  Promptly
          after the date on which payment of any such
          LIBO Rate Tax is due pursuant to applicable
          law, the Borrower will, at the request of
          Agent, furnish to the Agent evidence, in form
          and substance satisfactory to the Agent, that
          the Borrower has met its obligation under this
          Section 3.7(i).  In addition, the Borrower
          will indemnify the Agent against, and
          reimburse Agent on demand for, any LIBO Rate
          Taxes for which the Agent is liable by reason
          of the making or maintenance of any LIBO Rate
          Loans hereunder, as determined by the Agent in
          its discretion exercised in good faith and
          pursuant    to   standards   of   commercial
          reasonableness.  The Agent shall provide the
          Borrower with appropriate receipts for any
          payments or reimbursements made by the
          Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.3(i).

          (j) BOOKING OF LIBO RATE LOANS.  The Agent
          may make, carry or transfer LIBO Rate Loans
          at, to, or for the account of, any of its
          branch offices or the office of any of its
          Affiliates.

          (k)   INCREASED COSTS.  If, due to either (i)
          the introduction of or any change (other than

<PAGE>   17
Mr. Mark Brody
Amendment No. 6 to Loan and Security Agreement
September 12, 1994
Page 17


          any change by way of imposition or increase of
          reserve requirements included in the LIBOR
          Reserve   Percentage)    in   or   in   the
          interpretation of any law or regulation or
          (ii) the compliance with any guideline or
          request from any central bank or other Public
          Authority (whether or not having the force of
          law), there shall be any increase in the cost
          to the Agent of agreeing to make or making,
          funding, or maintaining LIBO Rate Loans, then
          the Borrower agrees that it shall, from time
          to time, upon demand by the Agent, pay to the
          Agent additional amounts sufficient to
          compensate the Agent for such increased cost.
          A certificate as to the amount of such
          increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by
          the Agent, shall be rebuttably presumptive
          evidence of the correctness of such amount.

          (l) LIBOR RATE LOANS AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT.
          Unless the Agent shall otherwise agree, after
          the occurrence of and during the continuance
          of any Event of Default, the Borrower may not
          borrow Revolving Loans as LIBO Rate Loans or
          elect to have any Loans continued as, or
          converted to, LIBO Rate Loans after the
          expiration of any Interest Period then in
          effect for such Loans."

17.  In Section 4.2 of the Agreement and notwithstanding the option
     of the Borrowers to voluntarily reduce the Revolving Loan
     Facility, any calculation of the early termination fee shall
     be based on a Revolving Loan Facility in the amount of
     $33,800,000.

18.  In Section 4.6(d) of the Agreement the following language is
     hereby added to read as follows:

          "Unless so directed by the Borrower, the
          Lender shall not apply any such payments which
          it received to any LIBOR Revolving Loan or
          LIBOR Term Loan, except (i) on the expiration
          date of the Interest Period applicable to any
          such LIBO Rate Loans, or (ii) in the event,
          and only to the extent, that there are no
          outstanding Reference Rate Loans."

19.   Notwithstanding Section 9.9 of the Agreement, the Agent, on
      behalf of the Lenders, shall permit both the Parent and
      Western Capital Corporation ("Western"), a subsidiary of the
      Parent but not a Borrower under the Total Facility, to each
      form a new subsidiary in order to either merge certain

                1996      $4,775,000"

21.   In Section 9.26(a) of the Agreement a new clause (vii) is
      hereby added to read as follows:

           both Borrowers may make intercompany advances
           to any other Borrower without being subject to
           the restrictions set forth in Section
           9.26(a)(ii), Section 9.26(a)(iii) and Section
           9.26(a)(iv); provided however, (1) any such
           intercompany advances must be made from South
           Coast's or Cast-Matic's operating cash flow
           and must be repaid in full prior to either
           South Coast or Cast-Matic receiving Revolving
           Loans in excess of $500,000 for either
           Borrower and (2) South Coast and Cast-Matic
