                               AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
                           CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT


     This AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT (the "Amendment") is
entered into as of March 31, 1998, by and between Chase Industries Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("CSI"), and Michael T. Segraves ("Executive").

                                    RECITALS

     A. CSI and Executive currently are parties to a Change of Control Agreement
dated March 31, 1997 (the "Agreement").

     B. Executive and CSI desire to amend the Agreement as set forth herein.

     In consideration of the mutual agreements herein set forth and for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. Amendment. Section 1 of the Agreement hereby is amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

          The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall be for the period which
          commences on the date hereof and which terminates on December 31,
          1999; provided, however, that (A) subject to Section 4.b. hereof, if,
          prior to a Change of Control, Executive ceases for any reason to be an
          employee of CBCC, thereupon the Term shall be deemed to have expired
          and this Agreement shall immediately terminate and be of no further
          effect and (B) commencing on December 31, 1999, and each December 31
          thereafter, the Term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended
          for an additional year unless at least 30 days prior to any such date
          CSI or the Executive shall have given written notice that CSI or the
          Executive, as the case may be, does not wish to have the Term of this
          Agreement extended. Notwithstanding the expiration of the Term or
          other termination of this Agreement, (i) if Executive's employment is
          terminated prior to the first anniversary of the expiration of the
          Term or other termination of this Agreement, the provisions of Section
          6 of this Agreement shall survive and continue to apply to Executive
          in accordance with the terms of Section 6, but only until the first
          anniversary of such expiration of the Term or other termination of
          this Agreement, (ii) Sections 7, 10 and 11 of this Agreement shall
          survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement, and (iii) if
          a Change of Control shall occur prior to the expiration of the Term or
          other termination of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall

                                      -1-

          survive to the extent necessary to enable Executive to enforce his
          rights under Section 4 of this Agreement.

     2. The terms and provisions of Sections 10, 14 and 16 of the Agreement
hereby are incorporated by reference into this Amendment mutandis mutandi to the
same extent as if set forth herein.

     3. Except as modified by this Amendment, the Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment on the date
first above written.

                                       CHASE INDUSTRIES INC.
