RECITALS:

         A.      On September 15, 1994, the Borrower and Standard Federal
entered into a Loan Agreement, as amended by a First Amendment to Loan
Agreement, dated February 16, 1995 (the "Loan Agreement"), pursuant to which
the Borrower opened a revolving line of credit facility with Standard Federal,

Credit"), as evidenced by an Amended and Restated Promissory Note (Line of
Credit), dated February 16, 1995, in the principal amount of $9,500,000.00 (the
"Note"), secured by a Security Agreement dated September 15, 1994 (the
"Security Agreement").

         B.      The Borrower has requested an increase in the credit limit of
the Line of Credit and a change in the advance formula thereunder, as herein
provided, and Standard Federal is willing to supply such financing subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment Agreement.

         C.      The Borrower has also requested the extension of an additional
equipment purchase line of credit and a term loan, as herein provided, and
Standard Federal is willing to supply such financing subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Amendment Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance upon the representations herein provided 
and in consideration of the premises and the mutual prom-
   2

ises herein contained, the Borrower and Standard Federal hereby agree as
follows:

         1.      The Borrower is a Michigan corporation in good standing.  All
corporate resolutions heretofore delivered to Standard Federal relative to
borrowing money and granting security interests remain in full force and
effect.  Borrower has duly authorized and validly executed and delivered this
Amendment Agreement and such Amendment Agreement and the Loan Agreement (as
hereby amended) are valid and enforceable according to their terms and do not
conflict with or violate Borrower's corporate charter or by-laws or any
agreement or covenants to which Borrower is a party.

         2.      The Security Agreement is valid and enforceable in accordance
with its terms.  Standard Federal's security interest in the collateral
described in the Security Agreement is valid and perfected and Borrower is
aware of no claims or interests in such collateral prior or paramount to
Standard Federal's.

         3.      Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and  replaced by the following new Section 1.1:

         1.1              Standard Federal hereby extends to the Borrower a
         revolving line of credit (the "Line of Credit") which shall not exceed
         at any one time outstanding the Credit Limit as hereafter defined.
         The term "Credit Limit" shall mean the lesser of: (a) Eleven Million
         and 00/100 Dollars ($11,000,000.00), or (b) an amount equal to the sum
         of: (i) an amount equal to 80% of Eligible Accounts Receivable, plus
         (ii) an amount equal to the lesser of: (1) Seven Million Five Hundred
         Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($7,500,000.00), or (2) an amount equal to
         50% of Qualified Inventory.  As used herein, the term "Eligible
         Accounts Receivable" shall mean accounts receivable of the Borrower
         less than 90 days old, not doubtful as to collectibility or disputed
         as to existence or amount or subject to offset, contra-indebtedness or
         return and not intra-company or owing from any affiliated or related
         company or other entity, exclusive of any account receivable arising
         under a government contract, the assignment of which is subject to the
         Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended, or any other similar
         federal or state statute or regulation governing the assignment of
         contracts with a governmental agency.  The term "Qualified Inventory"
         shall mean the inventory of Borrower in which Standard Federal holds a
         perfected first security interest exclusive of any returned or damaged
         items and work-in-process.

         4.      Simultaneously with the execution of this Amendment Agreement,
the Borrower shall execute and deliver to Standard Federal a Second Amended and
Restated Promissory Note (Line of Credit) in the stated principal amount of
$11,000,000.00 (the "Amended Note") to evidence the Line of Credit as hereby
amended


                                       2
   3

and to replace the Note.  The "Line of Credit Note" referred to in the Loan
Agreement shall hereafter be deemed to refer to the Amended Note.

         5.      Epco is hereby added as a borrower under the Loan Agreement
and the term "Borrower," as used in the Loan Agreement, shall hereafter be
deemed to refer to Epco, jointly and severally with the other entities referred
to as "Borrower" in the Loan Agreement.  Epco shall also execute and deliver
the Amended Note, jointly and severally, with the other entities referred to as
"Borrower" in the Loan Agreement.  Epco shall also execute and deliver to
Standard Federal with this Amendment Agreement a Security Agreement whereby
Epco shall grant to Standard Federal a security interest of first priority in
all personal property of Epco, in accordance with the provisions of Section
5.1(b) of the Loan Agreement.

         1A1B.2           Second Line of Credit

         1A1B.2(a)  Standard Federal hereby extends to the Borrower an
         additional revolving line of credit (the "Second Line of Credit") (the

         Hundred Twenty Six Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($426,000.00), less the
