                                    RECITALS

     A. Mortgagor has executed that certain Mortgage, Assignment of Rent and
Security Agreement to Mortgagee dated as of January 16, 1998, recorded in the
Seminole County Recorder's Office in Mortgage Book 3358, Page 911 on January 21,
1998 (the "Mortgage").

     B. Mortgagor and Societe Generale, formerly Administrative Agent and
Mortgagee, agreed to modify the Mortgage by executing that First Amendment to
Mortgage, Assignment of Rents & Security Agreement dated as of October 19, 1999
(the "First Amendment"), recorded in the Seminole County

<PAGE>

Recorder's Office in Mortgage Book 3748, Page 1382 on November 1, 1999. Said
First Amendment contained incorrect reference to recording information for the
original Mortgage, referring instead to a Mortgage recorded in St. Joseph
County, Michigan.

     C. Mortgagor and Mortgagee have agreed to further modify the Mortgage as
provided herein in accordance with the terms of that Agency Assignment Agreement
dated June 29, 2001 entered into by and among Day International Group, Inc.,
Societe Generale as the resigning Administrative Agent and Bank One, NA, in its
capacity as successor Administrative Agent.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

     1. Amendment to Mortgage. The Mortgage is hereby amended to reflect the
resignation of Societe Generale as Administrative Agent and its replacement in
such capacity by Bank One, NA as successor Administrative Agent under Credit
Agreement, as amended, and pursuant to the terms of the Agency Assignment
Agreement dated as of June 29, 2001 as follows:

          a. The introductory paragraph to the Mortgage is hereby amended by
deleting "SOCIETE GENERALE, whose address is 1221 Avenue of the Americas, New
York, New York 10020" and substituting "BANK ONE, NA, whose address is [611
Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48226]" in place thereof.

          b. All references to Mortgagee in the Mortgage are henceforth deemed
to be references to Bank One, NA.

     2. Correction to Recording Information in First Amendment. The recording
information for the original Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security
Agreement shall be that which is referenced in Paragraph A of the Recitals
contained herein.

     3. Ratification. Except as set forth herein, the Mortgage remains
unmodified and in full force and effect.

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

                                [Space intended]

<PAGE>

     This Amendment has been duly executed by the undersigned on the date first
above written.
