them in the Credit Agreement unless otherwise specified.

     The Borrower has  requested  that certain  amendments be made to the Credit
Agreement,  which  the  Lender  is  willing  to make  pursuant  to the terms and
conditions set forth herein.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  premises  and  of  the  mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

     1.  DEFINED  TERMS.  Capitalized  terms  used in this  Amendment  which are
defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meanings as defined therein,
unless otherwise defined herein.

     2. AMENDMENTS. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

          (a) The  definition of Borrowing  Base contained in Section 1.1 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

     "Borrowing Base" means, at any time the lesser of:

          (a)  the Maximum Line; or

          (b)  subject  to  change  from  time  to  time  in the  Lender's  sole
               discretion, the sum of:

               (A)  the  lesser  of  (x)  80%  of  Eligible  Accounts,   or  (y)
                    $1,500,000.00, plus
<PAGE>
               (B)  the lesser of (x) 60% of Eligible Royal Grip  Inventory,  or
                    (y) $1,000,000.00, minus

               (C)  $5,000.00,  which amount shall be automatically increased by
                    $1,000.00  on June 1, 2001 and by $1,000.00 on the first day
                    of each month thereafter until either the payment in full to
                    the Lender of the Accrued Default  Interest or the waiver of
                    said payment on the Trigger Date (defined below) as a result
                    of none of the Interest Rate Criteria (defined below) having
                    occurred.  Upon the payment in full of the  Accrued  Default
                    Interest  to  the  Lender  or the  waiver  of  said  payment
                    requirement,  said amount shall  automatically be reduced to
                    $0.00.

          (b) In the event that  Borrower's  2001 fiscal year audited  financial
statements  complying with Section 6.1(a) indicate that (i) the Borrower and the
Covenant  Entities  achieved an aggregate Net Loss in excess of $200,000.00  for
the 2001 fiscal  year (ii) the  Borrower  and the  Covenant  Entities  aggregate
consolidated Net Worth decreased by more than $200,000.00 during the 2001 fiscal
year,  or (iii) the  Borrower  was in  default  of any  provision  of the Credit
Agreement  (collectively the "Interest Rate Increase Criteria"),  then effective
on the first day of the first full month  following the earlier of (i) that date
which  Borrower  is required  to deliver to Lender  Borrower's  2001 fiscal year
audited financial statements pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or (ii) Lender's receipt
of  Borrower's  2001 fiscal year  audited  financial  statements  (the  "Trigger
Date"),  the  definitions  of "Revolving  Floating Rate" and Term Floating Rate"
contained in Section 1.1 of the Credit  Agreement  shall be deleted and replaced
as follows:

     "Revolving  Floating  Rate"  means an annual  rate  equal to the sum of the
     Prime Rate plus two and one-quarter of one percent  (2.25%).  The Revolving
     Floating Rate shall automatically be reduced to an annual rate equal to the
     sum of the Prime Rate plus  one-quarter  of one percent (.25%) on the first
     day of the first full month following  Lender's  receipt of Borrower's 2002
     fiscal year audited  financial  statements  complying  with Section  6.1(a)
     below,  if but  only if (i) said  financial  statements  indicate  that the
     Borrower  and the  Covenant  Entities  have  achieved  a Net Income for the
     Borrower's  2002  fiscal  year of not  less  than  $600,000.00,  (ii)  said
     financial  statements  indicate that the Borrower and the Covenant Entities
     increased their  aggregate Net Worth during  Borrower's 2002 fiscal year by
     not less than $600,000.00,  and (iii) there is not a then existing Event of
     Default or Default Period. If but only if said reduction is not achieved as
     provided above, the Revolving Floating Rate shall automatically be adjusted
     on the first day of the first  full  month  following  Lender's  receipt of
     Borrower's audited financial statements complying with Section 6.1(a) below
     in any year  subsequent to  Borrower's  2002 fiscal year, to an annual rate
     equal to the sum of the Prime Rate plus  one-quarter of one percent (0.25%)
     in the event that (i) said financial  statements indicate that the Borrower

                                       2
<PAGE>
     and the Covenant  Entities  have  achieved a Net Income for any such fiscal
     year of not less than $600,000.00,  (ii) said financial statements indicate
     that the Borrower and the Covenant  Entities  increased their aggregate Net
     Worth during any such fiscal year by not less than  $600,000.00,  and (iii)
     there is not a then  existing  Event of  Default  or  Default  Period.  The
     Revolving Floating Rate shall change when and as the Prime Rate changes.

     "Term  Floating  Rate"  means an annual  rate equal to the sum of the Prime
     Rate plus two and three-quarters of one percent (2.75%).  The Term Floating
     Rate shall  automatically  be reduced to an annual rate equal to the sum of
     the Prime Rate plus  three-quarters  of one percent (.75%) on the first day
     of the first full month  following  Lender's  receipt  of  Borrower's  2002
     fiscal year audited  financial  statements  complying  with Section  6.1(a)
     below,  if but  only if (i) said  financial  statements  indicate  that the
     Borrower  and the  Covenant  Entities  have  achieved  a Net Income for the
     Borrower's  2002  fiscal  year of not  less  than  $600,000.00,  (ii)  said
     financial  statements  indicate that the Borrower and the Covenant Entities
     increased their  aggregate Net Worth during  Borrower's 2002 fiscal year by
     not less than $600,000.00,  and (iii) there is not a then existing Event of
     Default or Default Period. If but only if said reduction is not achieved as
     provided above,  the Term Floating Rate shall  automatically be adjusted on
     the  first  day of the first  full  month  following  Lender's  receipt  of
     Borrower's audited financial statements complying with Section 6.1(a) below
     in any year  subsequent to  Borrower's  2002 fiscal year, to an annual rate
     equal to the sum of the  Prime  Rate  plus  three-quarters  of one  percent
     (0.75%) in the event that (i) said financial  statements  indicate that the
     Borrower and the Covenant  Entities have achieved a Net Income for any such
     fiscal year of not less than  $600,000.00,  (ii) said financial  statements
     indicate  that the  Borrower  and the  Covenant  Entities  increased  their
     aggregate  Net  Worth  during  any  such  fiscal  year  by  not  less  than
     $600,000.00,  and (iii)  there is not a then  existing  Event of Default or
     Default  Period.  The Term Floating Rate shall change when and as the Prime
     Rate changes.

     In the event that none of the Interest Rate Increase  Criteria occurs,  the
definitions  of "Revolving  Floating Rate" and "Term Floating Rate" shall remain
as defined in the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement.

          (c)  Section  6.13 of the  Credit  Agreement  is  hereby  deleted  and
replaced as follows:

     Section 6.13 NET WORTH. The Borrower covenants that as of May 31, 2000, the
