INC., a Delaware corporation,  as Borrowers; and MAGNETEK LEASING CORPORATION, a
Delaware  corporation,  MAGNETEK MONDEL HOLDING,  INC., a Delaware  corporation,
MAGNETEK NATIONAL ELECTRIC COIL, INC., a Delaware corporation and MONDEL ULC, an
unlimited liability corporation organized under the laws of Nova Scotia, Canada,

                                    Recitals
                                    --------

     A. The  Borrowers,  the  Guarantors  and the Lender  entered  into a Credit
Agreement  dated as of August 15,  2003,  as amended by the First  Amendment  to
Credit  Agreement dated as of November 25, 2003, the Second  Amendment to Credit
Agreement dated as of February 12, 2004, the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement
dated as of September  9, 2004,  and the Fourth  Amendment  to Credit  Agreement
dated as of December 31, 2004 (as so amended,  supplemented  and  modified,  the
"Credit Agreement").

     B. The  Borrowers and the  Guarantors  have  requested  that the Lender (i)
consent to the dissolution of Magnetek Leasing  Corporation  ("MLC"), a Delaware
corporation,  and the  distribution  of all of its property,  real and personal,
tangible and intangible, to MagneTek (the "MLC Dissolution and Distribution").

     C. On or about May 4, 2005,  the  Borrowers  notified  the Lender  that the
arbitrator  in In the Matter of the  Arbitration  between  Ole K.  Nilssen;  GEO
Foundation,  Ltd.  and  MagneTek,  Inc.,  Case  Number  51 133 Y  01452  04 (the
"Arbitration")  awarded the amount of  $23,352,439.63 in favor of Ole K. Nilssen
against  MagneTek (the  "Award"),  and that the Award is reasonably  expected to
have  a  Material  Adverse  Effect  on  MagneTek  and  the  Consolidated  Group.
Subsequently,  Mr. Nilssen has filed proceedings in Case No.  05-CV-02933 in the
U.S.  District  Court for the  Northern  District  of  Illinois  for an order of
judgment confirming the Award (the "Litigation").

     D. On or about May 5, 2005, the Lender notified the Borrowers,  inter alia,
that  the  Award  constituted  an  Unmatured  Default  (the  "Current  Unmatured
Default")  under the Credit  Agreement  and the Lender had no obligation to make
any Credit Extensions to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement.

     E. The Borrowers have further  informed the Lender that as of July 3, 2005,
the Borrowers are in breach of the following  financial  covenants  contained in
the Credit  Agreement:  Section 6.29.2,  "Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage  Ratio",
Section 6.29.3,  "Minimum  EBITDA",  and Section 6.34,  "Operating  Profit" (the
"Current  Covenant  Defaults")  and have asked the  Lender to waive the  Current
Covenant Defaults as of July 3, 2005.





     F. The Borrowers and the Guarantors desire that the Lender: (i) continue to
make Credit Extensions under the terms of the Credit Agreement,  notwithstanding
the  Award  and the  Current  Covenant  Defaults,  and  (ii)  agree  to  certain
amendments  to the Credit  Agreement,  all as  contemplated  by the  terms,  and
subject to the conditions, of this Amendment.

     G. The Borrowers and the  Guarantors  have  represented  to the Lender that
they will use their best efforts to obtain  financing  sufficient to pay in full
no later than  September 30, 2005,  all  Obligations to the Lender in respect of
the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.

     H. The Lender is willing to consent to the MLC Dissolution and Distribution
and to amend the Credit  Agreement as contemplated by the terms,  and subject to
the conditions, of this Amendment.

                             Statement of Amendment
                             ----------------------

     In  consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements and the conditions
set forth in this Amendment, and for other good and valuable consideration,  the
receipt  and  sufficiency  of which are hereby  acknowledged,  the  Lender,  the
Borrowers, and the Guarantors hereby agree as follows:

     1. Agreement for Credit Extensions.  The agreement provided in this Section
1,  either  alone or together  with other  accommodations  or waivers  which the
Lender may give from time to time, shall not, by course of dealing,  implication
or  otherwise,  obligate the Lender to waive any Default or  Unmatured  Default,
past, present or future, or reduce, restrict or in any way affect the discretion
of the Lender in considering  any future  accommodation,  waiver or modification
requested by the Borrowers or any of the other Loan  Parties.  The Lender agrees
that it shall continue to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers  pursuant to the
terms of Section 2.1.1 of the Credit  Agreement and issue  Facility LC's for the
benefit of the  Borrowers  pursuant to the terms of Section  2.1.2 of the Credit
Agreement,  notwithstanding  the existence of the Current  Unmatured Default and
the Current Covenant Defaults;  provided, however, that the Lender shall have no
obligation  to make Credit  Extensions  to the  Borrowers  if (i) any  Unmatured
Default (other than the current  Unmatured  Default)  exists or (ii) any Default
has occurred and is continuing, regardless if the same relates to the Award.

     2. Waiver of Current Financial Covenant Defaults.  The Borrowers agree that
the Current Covenant  Defaults have occurred and are continuing as follows:  (i)
under Section  6.29.2 of the Credit  Agreement  with respect to the Fixed Charge
Coverage  Ratio for the Test Period ended July 3, 2005 (a required  1.25 to 1.00
opposite an actual result of a negative ratio), (ii) under Section 6.29.3 of the
Credit  Agreement with respect to the EBITDA  Covenant for the Test Period ended
July 3, 2005 (a required  $1,050,000  opposite a result of less than zero),  and
(iii) under Section 6.34 of the Credit  Agreement  with respect to the Operating
Profit  Covenant of (A) PEG for the Test  Period  ended July 3, 2005 (a required
minimum profit of $400,000 opposite a result of less than such amount),  and (B)
TPG for  the  Test  Period  ended  July 3,  2005  (a  required  maximum  loss of
$1,250,000 opposite a result of a loss exceeding such amount).


                                        2




The Loan  Parties  have  requested  that the Lender  waive the Current  Covenant
Defaults  through and including  July 3, 2005, and the Lender hereby waives such
Current  Covenant  Defaults  through  and  including  July 3,  2005.  The waiver
provided  in this  Section 2 will not apply to any other  Default  or  Unmatured
Default, whether past, present, or future,  including,  without limitation,  any
violations of the financial  covenants described in this Section 2 and Recital E
above as of dates other than that specifically referenced in this Section 2. The
waiver  provided in this Section 2, either alone or together  with other waivers
which the Lender may give from time to time,  shall not,  by course of  dealing,
implication or otherwise,  obligate the Lender to waive any Default or Unmatured
Default,  past, present or future,  other than those specifically waived by this
Amendment, or reduce, restrict or in any way affect the discretion of the Lender
in considering any future waiver  requested by the Borrowers or any of the other
Loan Parties.

               obtain no later than July 31,  2005, a landlord  waiver,  in form
               reasonably acceptable to Lender, for the leased location at 10900
               Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA.

                    (e) No later than July 31, 2005, the Borrower Representative
               will provide to Lender,  updated as of a date no earlier than May
               31,  2005,  revised  Exhibits  B, D and E to  each  Loan  Party's
               respective Security Agreement,  together with any titles or other
               original Collateral, as required under the Security Agreements.

        4.   MLC Dissolution and Distribution.

               4.1 The Borrowers and the  Guarantors  warrant and agree that the
          MLC  Dissolution and  Distribution  will take place in accordance with
          the agreements,  instruments and documents  attached as Exhibit 4.1 to
          this Amendment (collectively, the "MLC Documents"). Upon the terms and
          subject  to the  conditions  of  this  Amendment,  the  Lender  hereby
          consents to the MLC Dissolution and  Distribution,  without  recourse,
          representation or warranty.

               4.2 To the extent not assumed by  operation  of law or by the MLC
          Documents,  MagneTek hereby acknowledges,  confirms and agrees that it
          is liable for, and it promises to pay,  perform,  and observe,  all of
          the  terms,  covenants,  conditions,  obligations,   liabilities,  and
          indebtedness of MLC to the Lender of any type  whatsoever,  including,
          but not  limited  to,  the  Obligations  and all of terms,  covenants,
          conditions,  obligations,  liabilities  and  indebtedness of MLC under
          each of the Loan  Documents  to which  MLC is a party (or by which its
          property is bound) and all Obligations hereinafter arising thereunder.


                                       7




               4.3  MagneTek  agrees  that  the  Liens  of the  Loan  Documents,
          including,  without  limitation,  the after-acquired  property clauses
          thereof,  survive the MLC  Dissolution and  Distribution  and are, and
          will be,  effective  as to all of the  property  described in the Loan
          Documents,  whether then  existing or owned,  now existing or owned or
          hereafter  arising or acquired  and whether  acquired by MLC,  and all
          substitutions,   replacements,   renewals,  reissues,  accessions  and
          additions thereto or thereof, now existing or hereafter arising.

        5.    Reaffirmation of Security.  The Borrowers,  the Guarantors and the
     Lender hereby  expressly intend that this Amendment shall not in any manner
     (i) constitute the refinancing, refunding, payment or extinguishment of the
     Obligations  evidenced by the existing  Loan  Documents;  (ii) be deemed to
     evidence a novation of the outstanding balance of the Obligations; or (iii)
     affect, replace, impair, or extinguish the creation, attachment, perfection
     or priority  of the Liens on the  Collateral  granted  pursuant to the Loan
     Documents evidencing,  governing or creating a Lien on the Collateral.  The
     Borrowers  and the  Guarantors  ratify and  reaffirm  any and all grants of
     Liens to the Lender on the Collateral as security for the Obligations,  and
     the Borrowers and the Guarantors acknowledge and confirm that the grants of
     the Liens to the Lender on the Collateral:  (a) represent  continuing Liens
     on all of the  Collateral,  (b)  secure  all of the  Obligations,  and  (c)
     represent  valid,  first and best Liens on all of the Collateral  except to
     the extent, if any, of the Permitted Liens.

        6.   Representations. To induce the Lender to accept this Amendment, the
     Borrowers and the Guarantors  hereby represent and warrant to the Lender as
     follows:

               6.1 Each  Borrower and  Guarantor has full power and authority to
          enter into, and to perform its obligations under, this Amendment,  and
          the execution and delivery of, and the  performance of its obligations
          under and arising out of, this Amendment have been duly  authorized by
          all necessary corporate action.

               6.2 This  Amendment  constitutes  the  legal,  valid and  binding
          obligations  of each Borrower and Guarantor  enforceable in accordance
          with its  terms,  except  as such  enforceability  may be  limited  by
          bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization  or  similar  laws  affecting
          creditors' rights generally.

               6.3 The  representations  and  warranties  of each  Borrower  and
          Guarantor  contained in the Loan Documents are complete and correct as
          of the date of this Amendment (other than a representation or warranty
          that is stated to relate  solely  to an  earlier  date)  with the same
          effect as though such  representations  and  warranties  had been made
          again  on and as of the  date  of this  Amendment,  subject  to  those
          changes  as are not  prohibited  by,  or do not  constitute  a Default
          under, the Loan Documents; provided, however, that Schedule 5.9 of the
          Credit  Agreement  is hereby  amended and  restated in its entirety by
          substituting  in its  stead  the  document  attached  as  Amended  and
          Restated Schedule 5.9 to this Amendment.

               6.4 Upon the  effective  date of this  Amendment,  no  Default or
          Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing.

                                       8




               6.5 On  consummation  of the MLC  Dissolution  and  Distribution,
          MagneTek will directly  acquire,  and obtain good title to, all of the
          assets and properties,  real and personal, tangible and intangible, of
          MLC.

               6.6 MLC and Magnetek each has adequate power and  authority,  and
          each of them  has full  legal  right  to  enter  into  each of the MLC
          Documents to which it is a party,  and to perform,  observe and comply
          with all of their respective  agreements and obligations under each of
          such MLC  Documents.  The  Lender  continues  to have,  and will  have
          following the  consummation of the MLC  Dissolution,  a first priority
          security interest in and Lien on all of the assets and property,  real
          and personal,  tangible and intangible,  formerly owned by MLC and now
          owned by  MagneTek  except to the  extent,  if any,  of the  Permitted
          Liens.

               6.7 The  execution  and  delivery by MLC and  MagneTek of the MLC
          Documents, the performance by MLC and MagneTek of all their respective
          agreements  and   obligations   under  the  MLC  Documents,   and  the
          consummation  of the MLC  Documents  are all  duly  authorized  by all
          necessary corporate action on the part of MLC and MagneTek and do not:
          (a)  contravene  any  provision  of  their   respective   Articles  of
          Incorporation  or Bylaws;  (b) conflict with, or result in a breach of
          the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under,
          or result in the  creation of any Lien upon any of the  properties  of
          MLC or MagneTek under, any document  creating any  Indebtedness  other
          than the Loan  Documents;  (c) violate or contravene  any provision of
          any law, rule or regulation or any order,  ruling,  or  interpretation
          thereunder  or any  decree,  order  or  judgment  of any  Governmental
          Authority;  (d) require any  waivers,  consents or approvals by any of
          the  creditors  or trustees  for  creditors  of MLC or MagneTek or any
          other Person other than the Lender;  or (e) require any Person to make
          any filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino  Antitrust  Improvements act of
          1976,  as  amended,  or the  rules  of the  Federal  Trade  Commission
          thereunder.  "Governmental  Authority" means any nation or government,
          any  state or other  political  subdivision  thereof,  and any  entity
          exercising   executive,    legislative,    judicial,   regulatory   or
          administrative  functions  of, or  pertaining  to,  government  or any
          agency or instrumentality thereof (including any central bank).

        7.   Costs and Expenses;  Fee. The Borrowers will promptly on demand pay
     or reimburse the Lender for the reasonable  costs and expenses  incurred by
     the Lender in connection with this Amendment. The Borrowers will pay to the
     Lender an  amendment  and  waiver  fee in the  amount of  $10,000  upon the
     Borrowers' and the Guarantors' execution of this Amendment.

        8.   Release.  Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantors  hereby releases
     the Lender from any and all liabilities, damages and claims arising from or
     in any way  related to the Loans or any of the Loan  Documents,  other than
     such  liabilities,  damages and claims  which arise after the  execution of
     this  Amendment.  The foregoing  release does not release or discharge,  or
     operate to waive  performance by, the Lender of its express  agreements and
     obligations  stated  in the Loan  Documents  on and  after the date of this
     Amendment.

        9.   Continuing Effect of Credit Agreement.  Except as expressly amended
     hereby,  all of the  provisions  of the Credit  Agreement  are ratified and
     confirmed and remain in full force and effect.

                                       9




        10.   One Agreement; References; Fax Signature. The Credit Agreement, as
     amended  by  this  Amendment,  will  be  construed  as one  agreement.  All
     references  in any of the Loan  Documents to the Credit  Agreement  will be
     deemed  to be  references  to the  Credit  Agreement  as  amended  by  this
     Amendment. This Amendment may be signed by facsimile signatures,  and if so
     signed,  (i) may be  relied  on by each  party  as if the  document  were a
     manually  signed  original  and (ii) will be  binding on each party for all
     purposes.

        11.   Captions. The headings to the Sections of this Amendment have been
     inserted for  convenience  of reference  only and shall in no way modify or
     restrict any provisions hereof or be used to construe any such provisions.

        12.     Counterparts.   This  Amendment  may  be  executed  in  multiple
     counterparts,  each of which shall be an original but all of which together
     shall constitute one and the same instrument.

        13.    Entire  Agreement.  This  Amendment,  together  with  the  Credit
     Agreement and the other Loan Documents,  sets forth the entire agreement of
     the  parties  with  respect to the  subject  matter of this  Amendment  and
     supersedes all previous understandings, written or oral, in respect of this
     Amendment.

        14.    Governing Law. This Amendment  shall be governed by and construed
     in accordance  with the internal laws of the State of Ohio (without  regard
     to Ohio conflicts of law principles ).

        15.    Reaffirmation of Guaranties.  The Guarantors hereby each reaffirm
     their  respective  Guaranty and  acknowledge and agree that no Guarantor is
     released  from  its  obligations  under  its  Guaranty  by  reason  of this
     Amendment and that the obligations of the Guarantors under their respective
     Guaranties  extend to the Credit  Agreement and the other Loan Documents as
     amended by this  Amendment.  This  reaffirmation  of Guaranty  shall not be
     construed,  by implication or otherwise,  as imposing any requirement  that
     the Lender notify or seek the consent of any of the Guarantors  relative to
     any past or future extension of credit, or modification, extension or other
     action with respect  thereto,  in order for any such extension of credit or
     modification,  extension or other action with respect thereto to be subject
     to the Guaranties,  it being expressly acknowledged and reaffirmed that the
     Guarantors  have under each  respective  Guaranty  consented,  among others
     things, to modifications, extensions and other actions with respect thereto
     without any notice thereof or consent thereto.

        16.   Other Documents. With the signing of this Amendment, the Borrowers
     and the  Guarantors  will  deliver  to the  Lender (i) the Bill of Sale and
     Assignment and all other MLC Documents between MLC and MagneTek,  (ii) such
     other documents,  instruments, and agreements deemed necessary or desirable
     by the Lender to effect the amendments to the Borrowers'  credit facilities
     with the Lender  contemplated by this  Amendment,  and (iii) a Schedule 3.5
     listing issued and  outstanding  Facility LC's having an expiry date beyond
     the Facility Termination Date.

                                       10




        17.   Patriot Act Notice.  The Lender hereby  notifies the Borrowers and
     the  Guarantors  that pursuant to the  requirements  of the USA Patriot Act
     (Title III of Pub.L.10756  (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"),
     it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
     Borrowers and/or the Guarantors,  which information  includes the names and
     addresses of the Borrowers and the  Guarantors and other  information  that
