<PAGE>

in furtherance of, any of the foregoing, as amended from time to time,
including as amended by this Agreement, but exclusive of all present or
future oral agreements between NBD and any one or more of the Parties, are
referred to herein, collectively, as the "Loan Documents."

       O. On November 6, 1998 (i) there was $2,207,793.17 in principal owing
by Borrowers to NBD under the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) there was $0 in

expenses (including attorneys' fees) called for by the Credit Agreement. In
early 1998, substantially all of Milford's tangible assets were sold to a
third party unaffiliated with any Borrower and a portion of the proceeds of
such sale were applied to repay certain of Milford's obligations to NBD.
Milford remains a loan party Borrower and Guarantor under the Loan Documents,
however, and in that regard, Milford still has obligations to NBD. For
convenience, all of the obligations referred to in the immediately preceding
sentence, together with all other principal and interest due or becoming due
to NBD, together with the payment of all other sums, indebtedness and
liabilities of any and every kind now or hereafter owing and to become due
from Borrowers to NBD however created, incurred, evidenced, acquired or
arising, and whether direct or indirect, primary, secondary, fixed or
contingent, matured or unmatured, joint, several, or joint and several, and
whether for principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, indemnity
obligations, obligations under guaranty agreements, fees, costs, expenses, or
otherwise, all of Borrowers' obligations under this Agreement, together with
all other present and future obligations of Borrowers to NBD, are referred to
herein, collectively, as the "Obligations."

       P. Each Party, jointly and severally, acknowledges and agrees that (i)
the Obligations, Guarantors' obligations under the Guarantor Loan Documents,
and all other obligations of any one or more of the Parties to NBD are owing
to NBD without setoff, recoupment, defense or counterclaim, in law or in
equity, of any nature or kind; (ii) the Obligations are secured by valid,
perfected, indefeasible, enforceable, first priority liens and security
interests in favor of NBD in, among other things (A) all of each Borrower's
present and future accounts, chattel paper, instruments, documents and
inventory, contracts and business records (but excluding computer hardware
and software), and all proceeds and products of all of the foregoing, as more
fully described in the Security Agreements; (B) specific equipment of Form
Flow located at 6901 Cogswell, Romulus, Michigan 48174, as more fully
described on Exhibit A to the Continuing Security Agreement dated August 22,
1997, executed by Form Flow in favor of NBD; (C) a Mazak ZTC-16B vertical
machining center, SN130013 and accessories owned by Form Flow as more fully
described in the Continuing Security Agreement dated November 5, 1997
executed by Form Flow in favor of NBD; (D) specific equipment of L&H located
at 38200 Ecorse Road, Romulus, Michigan 48174, as more fully described on
Exhibit A to the Continuing Security Agreement dated August 22, 1997,
executed by L&H in favor of NBD; (E) specific equipment of L&H located at
38200 Ecorse Road, Romulus, MI 48174-1350, as more fully described in the
Continuing Security Agreement dated November 5, 1997 executed by L&H in favor
of NBD; and (F) specific equipment of Uniflow located at 


                                E-4



<PAGE>

26600 Heyn Drive, Novi, Michigan 48374, as more fully described on Exhibit A
to the Continuing Security Agreement dated August 22, 1997, executed by
Uniflow in favor of NBD. The Obligations are also secured by a first priority
lien, security interest and mortgage in favor of NBD with respect to the
Mortgaged Premises, as more fully described in the Secom Mortgage. For
convenience all collateral referred to above, together with all other
collateral described in the Loan Documents and all collateral heretofore,
simultaneously herewith or hereafter granted to NBD by any one or more of the
Parties to secure any of the Obligations or any one or more of the Parties'
other obligations to NBD, including, without limitation, the obligations of
any one or more of the Guarantors under the Guarantor Loan Documents, is
referred to, collectively, as the "Collateral."

       Q. Each Party reaffirms, ratifies, confirms and approves its
obligations and duties under the Loan Documents, as modified by this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding
sentence, Guarantors hereby reaffirm, ratify, confirm and approve their
obligations and duties under the Guarantor Loan Documents, and the provisions
herein, and acknowledge and agree that the Guarantor Loan Documents extend
to, and cover, all of the Obligations, including the sums described in
Paragraph N above. Each Party, jointly and severally, reaffirms, ratifies and
confirms the liens, mortgages, assignments and security interests granted to
NBD in the Collateral under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

       R. Borrowers are in default under Loan Documents for the following
reasons:

           (i) Based on Borrowers' financial statements dated August 30, 1998
       (the "August 1998 Financials"), Borrowers' Cash Flow Coverage Ratio is
       less than 1.20 to 1.00;

           (ii) Borrowers' Tangible Capital Funds are less than $10,000,000
       (On August 31, 1998, Borrowers' Tangible Capital Funds were
       $8,090,364.00);

           (iii) Borrowers' Current Ratio is less than 1.25 to 1.00 (on
       August 31, 1998, Borrowers' Current Ratio was 1.22 to 1.00);

           (iv) Based on the Borrowers' financial statements for the quarter
       ended June 30, 1998, Borrowers' total Funded Debt to EBITDA is greater
       than 4.75 to 1.00, in violation of Borrowers' loan documents with G.E.
       Capital Public Finance, Inc and Key Corp. (Under Section 7.1(f) of the
       Loan Documents, a default by Borrowers with respect to a debt to other
       lenders is a default under the Loan Documents); and

           (v) Borrowers have failed to pay real and personal property taxes
       on Borrowers' assets in an amount totaling approximately $250,000 in
       the aggregate (the "Unpaid Taxes").

       For convenience, the above-described defaults are referred to
collectively as the "Existing Defaults." Each Party represents and warrants,
after due inquiry and investigation,


                                E-5



<PAGE>

that none of them is aware of any other Events of Default or defaults, or of
any event which, with the passage of time, notice, or both, would become an
Event of Default or a default under the Loan Documents or this Agreement.

       S. Each Party also acknowledges that based on the Existing Defaults,
NBD has the right, without further notice, to enforce its rights under the
Loan Documents (including the Guarantor Loan Documents) and applicable law.
Further, if NBD took such action, each Party acknowledges that NBD's actions
would be within NBD's rights under the Loan Documents (including the
Guarantor Loan Documents) and applicable law, and would be reasonable and
appropriate under the circumstances.

       T. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (i)NBD has fully performed
all of its obligations under the Loan Documents; (ii)NBD has no obligation to
continue to lend to Borrowers, or to forbear from enforcing its rights and
remedies beyond the Forbearance Period (as hereinafter defined); (iii) any
loans made after the date of this Agreement will be made in NBD's sole
discretion; and (iv) NBD has made no representations of any nature or kind
that funding in any amount will continue, or that the Forbearance Period (as
hereinafter defined) will be extended beyond the expiration thereof.

       U. Each Party further acknowledges and agrees that the actions taken
by NBD to date in furtherance of the Loan Documents are reasonable and
appropriate under the circumstances and are within NBD's fights under the
Loan Documents and applicable law.

       V. Each Party represents and warrants to NBD that it has received
direct and substantial economic benefit from all of the Obligations and that
it will continue to receive direct and substantial economic benefit from such
Obligations, and from any other loans made or which may be made in the future
to Borrowers.

       W. NBD informed Borrowers on several occasions that NBD is concerned
about the Existing Defaults and that Borrowers must take steps to address
such Existing Defaults. The Parties have informed NBD that they have engaged
the services of an investment banking firm (the "Investment Banker") to
explore, among other things, potential acquisition candidates for the
business as a whole or for the various business segments of Borrowers. The
Parties have requested that NBD agree to waive the Existing Defaults to allow
the Parties, with the assistance of the Investment Banker, time to develop
and begin to implement a plan with respect to sale of the business as a whole
or Borrowers' various business segments.

       X. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in
reliance on the Parties' agreements, acknowledgments, representations, and
warranties in this Agreement, NBD has agreed to amend the Loan Documents and
waive the Existing Defaults under the Loan Documents (including the Guarantor
Loan Documents), as set forth below.


                                E-6


<PAGE>

                                  AGREEMENT

       Based on the foregoing Recitals (which are incorporated herein as
agreements, representations, warranties, and covenants of the respective
Parties, as the case may be), and for other good and valuable consideration,
the adequacy and receipt of which are acknowledged by each Party hereto, NBD
and each Party agree as follows:

       1. Waiver.

       (a) Subject to the following conditions and those set forth below, NBD
agrees to waive the Existing Defaults through February 1, 1999 (the
"Extension Period"), at which time, unless earlier demand is made, all
Obligations shall be due and payable in full without further notice or demand
by NBD.

       (b) NBD's agreement to waive the Existing Defaults through the
Extension Period is conditioned upon NBD receiving, on or before November 18,
1998 (the "Effective Date"), a fully-executed copy of this Agreement,
together with fully-executed copies of all of the exhibits that require
signature.

       (c) Anything here to the contrary notwithstanding, NBD's waiver shall
be deemed null and void and of no further force and effect if during the
Extension Period there are further Events of Default or defaults under the
Loan Documents, including this Agreement, or if any Party fails to fully
comply with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents.

       2. Financial Covenants During Extension Period. Attached hereto as
Exhibit A is a copy of projections prepared by Borrowers (the "Projections")
of operating results and cash flows through March 31, 1999. In accordance
with the Projections, and as an accommodation to Borrowers, anything to the
contrary in the Loan Documents notwithstanding, through the Extension Period,
the following financial covenants shall be applicable, rather than the Cash
Flow Coverage Ratio, Tangible Capital Funds and Current Ratio covenants set
forth in the Credit Agreement:

           (a) Borrowers' Total Equity shall not be less than $7,000,000. For
       the purposes of this covenant, "Total Equity" means book net worth
       determined in accordance with generally acceptable accounting
       principles;

           (b) Borrowers' Total Liabilities to Total Equity shall not exceed
       2.5 to 1.0. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the
       contrary, for the purposes of this covenant, "Total Liabilities" means
       all liabilities of Borrowers of any nature whatsoever;

           (c) Borrowers' Current Ratio shall not be less than 0.6 to 1.0;
       and



                                E-7



<PAGE>

           (d) Borrowers' EBITD shall not be less than $125,000 for the month
       of October, 1998, not less than $65,000 for the month of November,
       1998 and not less than negative $45,000 for the month of December,
       1998.

       3. Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan
Documents, prior to the occurrence of a default or Event of Default under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (excluding the Existing
Defaults during the Forbearance Period, but including a worsening of such
Existing Defaults) (a) all Obligations shall bear interest computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days at the rate
of 1% per annum ab.ove the rate announced from time to time by NBD as its
prime rate, which may not be the lowest rate charged by NBD to any of its
customers (the "Applicable Rate"). After the occurrence of an Event of
Default or default under this Agreement or the Loan Documents (excluding the
Existing Defaults during the Forbearance Period, but including a worsening of
such Existing Defaults), all of such Obligations at NBD's sole discretion
shall bear interest at the rate of 3% per annum above the Applicable Rate
(the "Default Rate"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event whatsoever
shall the rate of interest charged under this Agreement or any agreement or
note executed in connection herewith or referred to or incorporated herein
exceed the highest rate permitted by applicable law. The fact that NBD is
entitled to receive a higher rate of interest upon default is to compensate
NBD for increased administrative and monitoring costs and shall not in any
manner be deemed to have waived or modified any of NBD's rights in connection
with the occurrence of a default or any Event of Default under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document.

       4. Increase in Line of Credit and Termination of Improvement Line,
          Equipment Line Credit, and Revolving Credit Facility.

       (a) The $4,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility described in Recital
B(i), the Improvement Line described in Recital C, and the Equipment Line of
Credit described in Recital C are hereby terminated. No further advances
under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Improvement Line, or the Equipment
Line of Credit will be made.

       (b) Anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents notwithstanding,
and as reflected by the amendments to the Credit Agreement described in
paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 below, NBD's commitment and obligation to make Loans is
terminated. NBD's uncommitted credit authorization to Borrowers referred to
in Section 2.1(b) of the Credit Agreement shall remain in place but in the
principal sum not to exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate at any one time
outstanding, which uncommitted credit authorization shall be evidenced by a
Second Amended and Restated Master Demand Business Loan Note as more fully
described in Section 12 below. Under this uncommitted credit authorization,
NBD, in its sole and absolute discretion, may decide whether or not to make
any future Loans to Borrowers. NBD may refuse to advance for any reason or
for no reason at any time, even if Borrowers have collateral availability to
borrow under the Loan Documents and no Event of Default or default has
occurred under such Loan Documents. The fact that NBD in its sole and
absolute discretion makes one or more Loans after the date of this Agreement
does not in any way obligate NBD to make any other Loans


                                E-8



<PAGE>

under the Revolving Loan Authorization or otherwise.

       5. Revised Definitions.

are hereby amended in their entirety to read as follows:

       $3,000,000, in the aggregate at any time outstanding.

           "Current Ratio" means the relationship, expressed as a numerical
       ratio, which (i) the amount of current assets of the Loan Parties,
       determined on a Combined basis, which would be properly classified as
       a current asset under GAAP, bears to (ii) the amount of current
       liabilities of the Loan Parties determined on a Combined basis, which
       would be properly classified as current liabilities under GAAP. For
       the purposes of this definition, current assets shall not include
       assets that represent capital equipment being held for sale over the
       next six month, and current liabilities shall not include debt
       associated with such assets.

           "Tangible Capital Funds" means Tangible Net Worth plus
       Subordinated Debt.

       terminated pursuant to Section 7.2.

       (b) The definition of "Borrowing Base" contained in Section 1.1 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended by changing the last sentence at the end
of that definition to read as follows: "In no event will the amount included
in the Borrowing Base under clause (b) above (for Eligible Inventory) exceed
$500,000."

       (c) The definition of "Commitment" contained in Section 1.1 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.

       6. Changes With Respect to Revolving Loans. Section 2.1 of the Credit

               (b) Revolving Loan Authorization. Subject to the terms and
           conditions of this Agreement, NBD may, in its sole and absolute
           discretion, make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers, jointly and
           severally, from the Effective Date and before the Termination Date
           as Borrowers may from time to time request from NBD; provided,
           however, that the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving
           Loans which are outstanding hereunder shall not at any time exceed
           the Authorization Amount; provided, further, that the aggregate
           principal amount of all Revolving Loans which NBD shall make
           pursuant to this Section 2. l(b) at any time shall not, when added
           to the principal balance of the Revolving Loans outstanding at
           such time plus the aggregate face amount of all outstanding L/Cs,
           exceed (i) the borrowing base at such time; or (ii) the
           Authorization Amount at such time. The Revolving Loans advanced
           under this Section 2.1(b) shall be evidenced by a Second Amended
           and Restated Master Demand Business Loan Note of Borrower in
           substantially the form of Exhibit B to the Amendment and
           Forbearance Agreement by and among Borrowers and NBD. Such Note
           shall be dated the Effective Date and stated to mature on demand.
           Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the
           Revolving Loans from time to time outstanding under this Section
           2.1(b) at the applicable rate(s) and shall be payable in
           accordance with Section 4.2. Subject to the other terms and
           conditions of this Agreement, and subject to NBD's sole and
           absolute discretion, the Revolving Loans may be borrowed, repaid
           and re-borrowed prior to the Termination Date. Although such Note
           shall be expressed to be payable in the maximum amount of
           $3,000,000, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay only the
           unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans, together with
           interest thereon and other amounts due in connection therewith as
           provided herein and in the Note. The proceeds of the Revolving
           Loans shall be used by the Borrowers for working capital or other
           general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties.

       7. Issuance of Letters of Credit. The introductory paragraph of
Section 2.3(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

       absolute discretion, issue for the account of any Borrower standby or
       commercial letters of credit, upon the following conditions:

Obligations in any order NBD determines in its sole discretion. It is NBD's

collectively, as the "Amended Notes." Any reference in any other document or
instrument (including, but not limited to, the Credit Agreement) to the
Revolving Note, the Line of Credit Note or the Equipment Term Note shall
constitute a reference to the Amended Notes. The Amended Notes are in
substitution and exchange for the Notes and shall not in any circumstances be
deemed a novation or to have paid, terminated, extinguished or discharged
Borrowers' indebtedness evidenced by such Notes, all of which indebtedness
shall continue under, and be evidenced and governed by, the Amended Notes.

       12. Dominion of Funds and Lockbox Arrangements. Borrowers have

the "Other Lenders") have liens and security interests in certain of
Borrowers' machinery, equipment (and with respect to Amplicon only, software)

loan documents with the Other Lenders for Borrowers to grant a lien to NBD on
the Other Lenders' M&E without such Other Lenders' consent and that they do
not believe such Other Lenders will consent. Thus, as noted above, the Other

       the ordinary course of business; and

       business to other employees of Borrower consistent with past
       practices.

       15. Transactions with Affiliates. Without NBD's prior written consent,
which consent may be withheld at NBD's sole discretion, until all of the
Obligations are paid in full, no advances will be made by any Borrower to any
entity or individual affiliated with any Borrower, whether now existing or
formed in the future, except with respect to inter-company transactions
consistent with practice, and except for amounts to shareholders and members
of their immediate families specifically permitted by Paragraph 14 above.

in the past, certain terms and provisions of the Loan Documents may not have
been complied with and may have been temporarily waived or modified through
certain temporary oral agreements or waivers among the Parties and NBD. Each
Party acknowledges and agrees that any and all of such oral agreements or
waivers are hereby terminated and each Party's duties, obligations, fights
and responsibilities with respect to the Loan Documents and this Agreement
shall be governed solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
written Loan Documents between the Parties and NBD, and this Agreement,
together with all written supplements or amendments, thereto or hereto, but

and under the Loan Documents, and (b) each Party acknowledges and agrees that
the Secom Mortgage extends to cover all of Borrowers' Obligations to NBD,
including without limitation, all of such Obligations under this Agreement
and under the Loan Documents.

       31. Reservation of Rights/No Waivers. This Agreement grants a limited
forbearance until the expiration of the Forbearance Period on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement. Except for such forbearance through
the expiration of the Forbearance Period, all of NBD's rights and remedies
against each Party and the Collateral are expressly reserved, including all
fights and remedies resulting from, or arising in connection with, the
Existing Defaults. Likewise, nothing herein is a waiver of any Existing
Defaults, or other defaults existing as of the date hereof, or an agreement
to consent to further worsening of such Existing Defaults, or new Events of
Default or defaults, or in any way prejudices NBD's rights and remedies under
the Loan Documents (including the Guarantor Loan Documents), or applicable
law. Further, NBD has the right to waive any terms, provisions, or conditions
in this Agreement or the Loan Documents in its sole discretion, and any such
waiver does not prejudice, waive, or reduce any other fight or remedy which
NBD may have against any one or more of the Parties. No waiver of fights or
any condition of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any other agreement
by NBD is effective unless the same is contained in a writing signed by an
authorized agent of NBD.

       32. Credit Inquiries. In the event customers, buyers, investors,
potential alternative financing sources, or other parties ask NBD about the
current lending relationship among NBD and any one or more of the Parties,
each Party agrees that NBD may refer such inquiries to the appropriate Party.

       33. Entire Agreement, Etc.

           (a) This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto constitute the Parties'
and NBD's entire understanding with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Modifications or amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed
by the party to be charged in order to be effective. This Agreement is
governed by the internal laws of the State of Michigan (without regard to
conflicts of law principles). This Agreement is binding on each Party and its
respective successors, assigns, heirs, and personal representatives and shall
inure to NBD's benefit and its successors and assigns. If any provision of
this Agreement conflicts with any applicable statute or law, or is otherwise

of such conflict or unenforceability, and is deemed separate from and does
not invalidate any other provision of this Agreement.

           (b) This Agreement is being entered into among competent persons
who are experienced in business and represented by counsel (or who have had
the opportunity to be represented by counsel), and has been reviewed by the
Parties and their counsel, if any. Therefore, any ambiguous language in this
Agreement will not necessariiy be construed against any particular party as
the drafter of such language.

           (c) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document. All
counterparts must be construed together to constitute one instrument.
Facsimile copies of signatures are to be treated as original signatures for
all purposes.

           (d) References in the Loan Documents and all other documents
executed in connection with the Loan Documents (as each of the foregoing is
amended hereby) to the Loan Documents mean the Loan Documents as amended by
this Agreement.

           (e) The term "including" means including, without limitation, and
the term "includes" means includes, without limitation.

           (f) All headings are inserted for convenience only and do not
affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

       34. Additional Representations. Each Party represents and warrants to
NBD that:

           (a) Each Borrower's execution, delivery, and performance of this
Agreement and all agreements and documents delivered in connection herewith
by such Borrower, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action

stockholders, violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order,
writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in
effect having applicability to such Borrower or it articles of incorporation
or bylaws, or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any
indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or

may be bound or affected.

           (b) No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption of or
filing a registration with any court or governmental department, commission,
board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, is or will be
necessary to the valid execution, delivery or performance by any Borrower of
this Agreement and all agreements and documents delivered in connection with
this Agreement.

           (c) This Agreement and all agreements and documents delivered
pursuant hereto by any one or more of the Parties are the legal, valid and
binding obligations of each such Party enforceable against each such Party in
accordance with the terms thereof.

           (d) After giving effect to the amendments contained herein and
effected pursuant hereto, all representations and warranties contained in the
Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the date hereof with the
same force and effect as if made on and as of the date hereof.

           (e) Except for the Existing Defaults, each Party has duly and
properly performed, complied with and observed each of its covenants,
agreements, and obligations contained in the Loan Documents.

           (f) Borrowers' audited financial statement for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1997, and Borrowers' interim financial statements for the
nine-month period ended June 30, 1998, copies of which have been furnished to
NBD, fairly present Borrowers' financial condition at such dates and the
results of Borrowers' operations for the periods indicated, all substantially
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis.

           (g) No Party has assigned any claim, set off or defense to any
individual or entity.

           (h) This Agreement and all of the Exhibits and other written
material delivered by any one or more of the Parties to NBD in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby do not contain any statement that
is false or misleading with respect to any


                                E-21



<PAGE>

material fact and do not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein not false or misleading. There is no additional
fact of which any Party is aware that has not been disclosed in writing to
NBD that materially affects adversely or, so far as each Party can reasonably
foresee, will materially affect adversely, any Party's financial condition or
business prospects.

           (i) All Parties executing this Agreement in a representative
capacity warrant that they have authority to execute this Agreement and
legally bind the entity they represent.

       35. Survival; Reliance. All agreements, representations and warranties
made in this Agreement (and all agreements referred to or incorporated
herein) survive the execution of this Agreement (and all documents and
agreements referred to or incorporated herein). Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement (or any documents or agreements referred to or incorporated
herein) to the Contrary, no investigation or inquiry by NBD (including by its
agents) with respect to any matter which is the subject of any
representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement set forth herein or
therein is intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to limit, diminish or
otherwise affect the full scope and effect of any such representation,
warranty, covenant or other agreement. All terms, covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties of each Party made herein (or in any documents
or agreements referred to or incorporated herein), or in any certificate or
other document delivered or to be delivered pursuant hereto, are deemed to be
material and to have been relied upon by NBD, notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by NBD or its agents.

       36. Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted
to be given under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents must be in
writing and delivered personally, telegraphed, telecopied or telexed, or
mailed (by certified or registered mail or by recognized overnight courier),
postage prepaid, and is deemed given when so delivered personally,
telegraphed or telexed, or if mailed, one day after the date of mailing,
addressed as follows (or to any another address as to which any party so

                                       Attn: Carol A. Clark                 

       37. Discretionary Loans; Demand Obligations. Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that NBD is at no
time obligated to make any Loan, despite compliance with any express
conditions precedent thereto, and NBD may at any time make demand for payment
of the Obligations, notwithstanding that there may then exist no Event of
Default or default. ABSENT PRIOR DEMAND BY NBD, OR A WRITTEN AGREEMENT SIGNED
BY NBD TO THE CONTRARY, ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE DUE AND PAYABLE IN
FULL ON THE EARLIER OF (A) A DEFAULT UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING THIS
AGREEMENT, OR (B) THE EXPIRATION OF THE FORBEARANCE PERIOD.

       38. Impairment of Collateral. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement (and all agreements and documents referred to herein) does not
impair or affect any other security (by endorsement or otherwise) for the
Obligations, or any one or more of the Parties' other obligations to NBD. No
security taken before or after as security for the Obligations impairs or
affects this Agreement (or any agreement or document referred to herein). All
present and future additional security is to be considered as cumulative
security.

       39. Time Is of the Essence. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that
time is of the essence as to each and every term and provision of this
Agreement and each Loan Document.

       40. Adverse Events. Promptly upon gaining knowledge thereof or at such
time as any Party should have known thereof, each Party must inform NBD of
the occurrence of any Event of Default, or default, or any event which with
the lapse of time or service of notice or both would constitute an Event of
Default or default under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or of
any other occurrence which has or could reasonably be expected to have a
materially adverse effect on any Party's business, properties, or financial
condition or upon any Party's ability to comply with its obligations under
this Agreement or the Loan Documents (including the Guarantor Loan
Documents).

       41. Non-Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of NBD in the exercise
of any power or fight, and no course of dealing between any one or more of
the Parties or any Personal Guarantor and NBD, operates as a waiver of such
power or right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or
right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
power or right. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies which may be available to NBD at law or in equity.
No notice to or demand on any Party not required hereunder or under the Loan
Documents entitles any such Party to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances, or waives NBD's right to any other or further
action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Any waiver of an


                                E-23



<PAGE>


provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents and any consent to any
departure by any one or more of the Parties from the terms of any provision
of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, is effective only if in writing
signed by an authorized officer of NBD, and only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which given.

       42. No Other Promises or Inducements. There are no promises or
inducements which have been made to any signatory hereto to cause such
signatory to enter into this Agreement other than those which are set forth
in this Agreement.

       43. Additional Agreements. Prior to or simultaneously with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement (or such other date as is indicated
below), the Parties shall cause to be executed and delivered to NBD the
following documents:

           (a) The Amended Notes executed by Borrowers;

           (b) The Amended and Restated Security Agreements and the New UCC's
executed by Borrowers;

           (c) The list of customers and account debtors;

           (d) The Second Amended and Restated Future Advance Mortgage
executed by Secom;

           (e) Certificate of Resolutions in the form attached as Exhibit K
hereto, executed by Borrower;

           (f) A Security Agreement and UCC-I Financing Statement in the form
of Exhibit L attached hereto, executed by Milford;

           (g) A UCC-I Financing Statement covering equipment owned by
Uniflow and financed by NBD as described on such UCC-1 Financing Statement in
the form of Exhibit M attached hereto;

           (h) Executed demand deposit account signature cards and
resolutions for all of Borrowers' operating accounts in the form of Exhibit N
attached hereto; and

           (i) Such other financing statements, resolutions, searches and
other documents and agreements reasonably required by NBD, to effectuate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


                                E-24



<PAGE>

       44. Subordination Agreements. ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR
IN ANY OTHER AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING, NOTHING CONTAINED IN
THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER AGREEMENT RESTRICTS OR PROHIBITS NBD'S RIGHT
TO BLOCK, STOP OR PROHIBIT PAYMENTS TO ANY SUBORDINATED CREDITOR(S) ON
ACCOUNT OF THE EXISTING DEFAULTS OR OTHERWISE. Without limiting the
generality of the previous sentence and notwithstanding any provision of any
Subordination Agreement to the contrary, Guarantors agree jointly and
severally that all amounts owing by any Borrower to any of them, however
evidenced, present or future (the "Subordinated Indebtedness") are
subordinated to all of the Obligations, AND HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO
RECEIVE PAYMENTS ON OR RELATED TO THE SUBORDINATED INDEBTEDNESS UNTIL SUCH
TIME AS NBD HAS RECEIVED PAYMENT IN FULL WITH RESPECT TO THE OBLIGATIONS.

       45. Payments to Shareholders. Effective immediately, all dividends,
distributions and other payments to shareholders, present or future, whether
by way of stock redemption, payments on preferred stock, or deferred
compensation, principal or interest, shall cease in their entirety, except
for those payments specifically permitted by this Agreement, or those in
connection with a 401K Plan.

       46. STATUTE OF FRAUDS. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. ALL
PRIOR AND CONTEMPORANEOUS ORAL AGREEMENTS, IF ANY, BETWEEN NBD, ON THE ONE
HAND, AND ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE PARTIES, ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE MERGED INTO
THIS AGREEMENT AND DO NOT SURVIVE THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

       47. RELEASE. AS OF THE DATE HEREOF EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS
THAT HE, SHE OR IT IS AWARE OF, AND POSSESSES, NO CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION
AGAINST NBD. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPRESENTATION AND AS FURTHER CONSIDERATION
FOR THE AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS HEREIN, EACH PARTY INDIVIDUALLY,
JOINTLY, SEVERALLY, AND JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, IN EVERY CAPACITY, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, AS SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, PARTNERS, DIRECTORS,
INVESTORS, OR CREDITORS OF ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE PARTIES, EACH OF THEIR
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, EXECUTORS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY RELEASES NBD,
ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS, AFFILIATES,
SUBSIDIARIES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS FROM ANY LIABILITY, CLAIM, RIGHT OR
CAUSE OF ACTION WHICH NOW EXISTS, OR HEREAFTER ARISES, WHETHER KNOWN OR
UNKNOWN, ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO FACTS IN EXISTENCE AS OF THE
DATE HEREOF. BY WAY OF EXAMPLE AND NOT 


                                E-25



<PAGE>

LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INCLUDES ANY CLAIMS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO ACTIONS
TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY NBD UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE BUSINESS
RELATIONSHIP WITH NBD AND ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF ANY NATURE OR KIND OF ANY
ONE OR MORE OF THE PARTIES, ANY ORAL AGREEMENTS OR UNDERSTANDINGS (ACTUAL OR
ALLEGED), ANY BANKING RELATIONSHIPS THAT ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE PARTIES HAS
OR MAY HAVE HAD WITH NBD AT ANY TIME AND FOR ANY REASON INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, DEMAND DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS, OR OTHERWISE.

       48. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND BOND; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION;
           AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

       (a) ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE PARTIES
BROUGHT BY NBD WITH RESPECT TO ANY TERM OR CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER PRESENT OR FUTURE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ANY ONE OR
MORE OF THE PARTIES AND NBD MAY BE BROUGHT BY NBD IN A COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND, BY
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY AND NBD ACCEPT FOR
THEMSELVES AND IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS, AND
IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ANY FINAL JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER PRESENT AND
FUTURE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE PARTIES AND NBD. EACH PARTY
WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON THEM, AND CONSENTS THAT
ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY MAIL OR MESSENGER DIRECTED TO THEM
AT THEIR ADDRESSES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES
ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND OR SURETY WHICH MIGHT, BUT FOR
THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF NBD. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION AFFECTS
NBD'S RIGHT TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR
AFFECTS NBD'S RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY ONE OR MORE
OF THE PARTIES OR ANY ONE OR MORE OF THEIR PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY PARTY AGAINST NBD
INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER OR CLAIM IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT
OF, RELATED TO OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY
PRESENT OR FUTURE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE PARTIES AND NBD,
MUST BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. EACH PARTY
WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED


                                E-26


<PAGE>

HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND MAY NOT ASSERT ANY DEFENSE BASED ON
LACK OF JURISDICTION OR VENUE OR BASED UPON FORUM NONCONVENIENS.

         (b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (1) HE, SHE OR IT HAS FULLY READ
ALL OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HAS BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH
COUNSEL AND OTHER ADVISORS OF HIS, HER OR ITS CHOICE, AND AFTER CONSULTING
WITH SUCH COUNSEL OR ADVISORS, KNOWLINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND WITHOUT DURESS,
COERCION, UNLAWFUL RESTRAINT, INTIMIDATION OR COMPULSION, ENTERS INTO THIS
AGREEMENT, BASED UPON SUCH ADVICE AND COUNSEL AND IN THE EXERCISE OF HIS, HER
OR ITS BUSINESS JUDGMENT, (2) THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN ENTERED INTO IN
EXCHANGE FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, RECEIPT OF WHICH THE PARTIES
HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE, (3) HE, SHE OR IT HAS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY READ ALL
OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IS NOT RELYING ON THE
OPINIONS OR ADVICE OF NBD OR HIS, HER OR ITS AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES IN
ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

         (c) THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
IS A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, BUT THAT THIS RIGHT MAY BE WAIVED. NBD AND EACH
PARTY EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND WITHOUT COERCION, WAIVE ALL
RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR IN RELATION TO
THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS BETWEEN ANY OF THE
PARTIES. NO PARTY WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE RELINQUISHED THE BENEFIT OF THIS
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL UNLESS SUCH RELINQUISHMENT IS IN A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT
SIGNED BY THE PARTY TO WHICH SUCH RELINQUISHMENT WILL BE CHARGED. EACH PARTY
AND NBD AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF
THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THEIR CONSENT TO THE
WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND THE OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN
THIS AGREEMENT.

                         SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
                       MASTER DEMAND BUSINESS LOAN NOTE

Amount: (DELTA) $3,000,000                   Dated: as of November 25, 1998
                                                 Made at Detroit, Michigan.

       FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, jointly and severally, promise to
pay to the order of NBD BANK ("Bank"), at its offices in Detroit, Michigan or
at such other place as the holder of this note may from time to time
designate in writing on demand, the principal sum of (DELTA) Three Million
(DELTA) and 00/100 Dollars (DELTA)($3,000,000.00), together with interest on
the outstanding balance thereof as provided below. THIS NOTE IS PAYABLE ON
DEMAND. Until demand, the undersigned shall make monthly payments of accrued
interest commencing on December 1, 1998, and continuing on the 1st day of
each consecutive month thereafter. Unpaid interest under the Prior Notes
(defined below) is due on December 1, 1998.

       The indebtedness under this Note outstanding from time to time prior
to maturity (whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise) or the occurrence
of an Event of Default shall bear interest on the basis of a year of 360 days
for the actual number of days elapsed in each month, at the rate of 1% per
annum above the Bank's Prime Rate (the "Applicable Rate"), as more fully
provided in the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Loan Agreement
dated as of June 30, 1996, as amended by First Amendment to Revolving Credit
and Loan Agreement dated as of August 22, 1997, Second Amendment to Revolving
Credit and Loan Agreement dated as of January 1, 1998, and an Amendment and
Forbearance Agreement (the "Forbearance Agreement") dated the date hereof (as
so amended and as may be further amended from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings given them in the Credit Agreement. As used herein, the "Prime Rate"
shall be the per annum rate of interest from time to time announced by the
Bank (or any successor thereto) as its prime rate, which prime rate may not
be the lowest `rate of interest charged by the Bank to any of its customers.
Any change in the Prime Rate shall immediately effect a change in the rate of
interest payable hereunder.

       After maturity, or from and after an Event of Default, the outstanding
principal balance under this Note shall bear additional interest from and
after such maturity date or the occurrence of the Event of Default, at a rate
of three (3%) percentage points per annum above the Applicable Rate until the
Note is fully paid or the Event of Default is fully cured (the "Default
Rate").

       If any payment is not received by Bank within fifteen days after its
due date, the Bank may assess and the undersigned agree to pay a late fee
equal to the lesser of 5% of the past due amount or the Late Fee Cap. The
Late Fee Cap is $350 and is based on the original principal amount of this
Note.

       Principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable in lawful
money of the United States of America. The undersigned agrees to pay all
costs of collection and enforcement of this Note, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs

<PAGE>

       The indebtedness under this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at
any time. In addition to the payments described above, additional payments on
this Note may be due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Credit 
Agreement.

       Bank is hereby authorized by Borrowers to record on its books and
records, the date and amount of each Revolving Loan, the Loan Period, the
applicable interest rate (including any changes therein), the amount of each
payment of principal thereon and such other information as appropriate, which
books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the
information so recorded, provided, however, that any failure by Bank to
record any such information shall not relieve Borrowers of their obligation
to repay the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by
Bank, all accrued interest thereon and any amount payable with respect
thereto in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Credit Agreement.

       This Note is given pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit
Agreement, including the Forbearance Agreement. This Note is secured by,
among other collateral, the collateral granted to Lender under the terms of
the Credit Agreement, including the Forbearance Agreement, and the Loan
Documents. The occurrence of any default under the Credit Agreement,
including the Forbearance Agreement, or any of the Loan Documents (as such
documents may have been amended by the Credit Agreement), or any document or
instrument referred to or incorporated into any of the foregoing shall be
deemed a default under this Note and shall entitle the holder of this Note to
accelerate the maturity of the debt evidenced by this Note and to have all
rights and remedies afforded by law or available under the Credit Agreement,
including the Forbearance Agreement, the Loan Documents and under all other
agreements referred to or executed in connection with any of the foregoing.

       This Note consolidates, amends and restates (but does not discharge)
certain existing obligations evidenced by a Line of Credit Note, dated as of
June 30, 1996 in the original principal amount of $2,000,000, and an Amended
and Restated Revolving Credit Note, dated June 30, 1996, in the original
principal amount of $4,000,000, all from the undersigned,to Bank ("Prior
Notes"). Any references in the Credit Agreement or any other agreement to the
Prior Notes shall hereafter constitute a reference to this Note.

       The undersigned, and all endorsers and guarantors, hereby severally
waive valuation and appraisement, presentment, protest and demand, notice of
protest, demand and dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, and expressly agree
that the maturity of this Note, or any payment due under this Note, may be
extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of the
undersigned or such endorsers or guarantors.

accelerate the maturity of the debt evidenced by this Note and to have all
rights and remedies afforded by law or available under the Credit Agreement,
including the Forbearance Agreement, the Loan Documents and under all other
agreements referred to or executed in connection with any of the foregoing.

       Bank is hereby authorized by Borrowers to record on its books and
records, the Loan Period, the applicable interest rate (including any changes
therein), the amount of each payment of principal thereon and such other
information as appropriate, which books and records shall constitute
rebuttable presumptive evidence of the information so recorded, provided,
however, that any failure by Bank to record any such information shall not
relieve Borrowers of their obligation to repay the outstanding principal
amount of all Equipment Advances made by Bank, all accrued interest thereon
and any amount payable with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of
this Note and the Credit Agreement.

       This Note amends and restates (but does not discharge) the Amended and
Restated Equipment Line Note dated as of January 1, 1998, in the original
principal amount of $1,500,000, from the undersigned to Bank (the "Prior
Note"). Any reference in the Credit Agreement or any other agreement to the
Prior Note shall hereafter constitute a reference to this Note.

       The undersigned, and all endorsers and guarantors, hereby severally
waive valuation and appraisement, presentment, protest and demand, notice of
protest, demand and dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, and expressly agree
that the maturity of this Note, or any payment due under this Note, may be
extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of the
undersigned or such endorsers or guarantors.
