                        AMENDMENT TO SECURITY AGREEMENT

     AMENDMENT (this "Amendment"), dated as of May 15, 2001 (the "Effective
Date"), to the SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of March 30, 2001 (the "Security
Agreement"), among APW, Ltd. (the "Borrower"), APW NORTH AMERICA, INC. ("APW-
NA"), APW HOLDING DENMARK APS ("APW-Denmark"), the other person or entities
which are listed on the signature pages thereto as debtors or which from time to
time become parties thereto as debtors (collectively, including the Borrower,
APW-NA, APW-Denmark, the "Debtors") and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative
Agent (the "Administrative Agent").

     Each capitalized term that is used, but not defined, herein shall have the
meaning specified in the Security Agreement.

     WHEREAS, the Debtors and the Administrative Agent wish to amend the
definition of the term "Liabilities" and add the definition of "Swap Contract"
to the Security Agreement;

     WHEREAS, the Debtors and the Administrative Agent wish to amend the
sections 1 and 7 of the Security Agreement;

     WHEREAS, such amendment may be effected from time to time by all of the
parties thereto by written agreement by such parties;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Debtors and the Administrative Agent hereby agree as
follows:

    1.   Amendment to Section 1.

    (a)  As of the Effective Date, the definition of "Liabilities" is hereby
deleted and is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

    "Liabilities" means with respect to the Parent and any of its Subsidiaries
parties hereto, all Obligations (monetary or otherwise) of such Debtor under the
Credit Agreement, any Note, any Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any other
document or instrument (including any Swap Contract entered into with any Bank)
executed in connection therewith, in each case howsoever created, arising or
evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter
existing, or due or to become due;

     (b) As of the Effective Date, the definition of "Swap Contract" is hereby
added to read as follows:

     "Swap Contract" means any agreement, including any amended version thereof,
whether or not in writing, relating to any transaction that is a rate swap,
basis swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap, commodity option, equity
or equity index swap or option, bond, note or bill option, interest rate option,
forward foreign exchange transaction, cap, collar or floor transaction, currency
swap, cross-currency rate swap, swaption, currency option or any other, similar
transaction (including any option to enter into any of the foregoing) or any
combination of the foregoing, and, unless the context otherwise clearly
requires, any master agreement relating to or governing any or all of the
foregoing;

     2.  Amendment to Section 7.  As of the Effective Date, section 7 is hereby
deleted and is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

     Default. Whenever a Default shall be existing, the Administrative Agent may
exercise from time to time any right or remedy available to it under applicable
law. Each Debtor agrees, in case of Default upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, (i) to assemble, at its expense, all its Inventory and
other Goods (other than Fixtures) at a convenient place or places acceptable to
the Administrative Agent, and (ii) to execute all such documents and do all such
other things which may be necessary or desirable in order to enable the
Administrative Agent or its nominee to be registered as owner of the
Intellectual Property with any competent registration authority. Any
notification of intended disposition of any of the Collateral required by law
shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if given at least ten days before
such disposition. Any proceeds of any disposition by the Administrative Agent of
any of the Collateral may be applied by the Administrative Agent to payment of
expenses in connection with the Collateral, including reasonable attorney's fees
and charges (including time charges of attorneys who are employees of the
Administrative Agent), and any balance of such proceeds may be applied by the
Administrative Agent toward the payment of such of the Liabilities, and in such
order of application, as the Administrative Agent may from time to time elect;
provided, that each Bank shall receive a proportionate share of such balance,
based on a fraction the numerator of which is the Liabilities payable to it and
the denominator of which is all the Liabilities.

     3.  No Further Amendments. Except as amended hereby, the Security Agreement
shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

     4.  Governing Law. This Amendment and the Security Agreement, as amended
hereby, shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois,
without reference to its conflict-of-laws provisions; and the obligations,
rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined
in accordance with such laws.

     5.  Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, all of
which, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
