                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of
March 8, 2001, by and between GENOMIC SOLUTIONS INC., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and GARY A. KENDRA (the "Executive").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue the employment of the
Executive, and the Executive desires to continue to be employed by the Company,
on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in
this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

         1. Employment.

                  (a) The Company agrees to employ the Executive and the
Executive accepts the employment, on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth below. During the term of employment hereunder, the Executive shall serve
in an executive capacity and shall do and perform diligently all such services,
acts and things as are customarily done and performed by an executive of a
similar business, together with such other duties as may be requested from time
to time by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board").

                  (b) For her service as an officer and employee of the Company,
the Executive shall be entitled to the full protection of the applicable
indemnification provisions of the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as they may be amended from time to
time. The Company agrees that the Executive will be named as an additional
insured under the Company's Directors' and Officers' Errors and Omissions
Insurance during her employment hereunder.

         2. Term of Employment.

                  Subject to the provisions for termination provided below, the
term of the Executive's employment under this Agreement shall commence on the
date of this Agreement and shall continue thereafter for a period of two (2)
years.

         3. Devotion to the Company's Business.

                  The Executive shall devote her entire productive time, ability
and attention to the business of the Company during the term of this Agreement;
however, the expenditure of reasonable amounts of time to various charitable and
other community activities, or to the Executive's own personal investments and
projects, provided the amount of time so devoted does not materially impair,
detract or adversely affect the performance of the Executive's duties under this
Agreement, shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.

         4. Compensation.

                  (a) During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay
or provide, as the case may be, to the Executive the compensation and other
benefits and rights set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement.

<PAGE>   2
                  (b) Base Compensation. As compensation for the services to be
performed hereafter, the Company shall pay to the Executive, during her
employment hereunder, a base salary (the "Base Salary") payable in accordance
with the Company's usual pay practices (and in any event no less frequently than
monthly) at the annual rate of One Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Dollars
($165,000.00).

                  (c) Annual Salary Increase. Executive's salary shall be
reviewed at least once annually and may be increased upon recommendation of the
Compensation Committee and ratification of the Board.

                  (d) Incentive Compensation. The Board, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may elect to pay the Executive one or more discretionary
bonuses, at such times and in such amounts as the Board deems appropriate.

         5. Benefits.

                  (a) Insurance. The Company shall provide to the Executive
life, disability, medical, hospitalization and dental insurance for herself and
eligible family members as may be determined by the Board to be consistent with
industry standards

                  (b) Benefit Plans. The Executive, at her election, may
participate, during her employment hereunder, in all retirement plans, 401(K)
plans and other benefit plans of the Company generally available from time to
time to other executive employees of the Company and for which the Executive
qualifies under the terms of the plans (and nothing in this Agreement shall or
shall be deemed to in any way affect the Executive's right and benefits under
any such plan except as expressly provided herein). The Executive's
participation in and benefits under any plan shall be on the terms and subject
to the conditions specified in the governing document of the particular plan.

                  (c) Annual Vacation. Effective as of January 1 of each year
hereunder, Executive shall be entitled to three (3) weeks of paid vacation time
for such year. In the event that the Executive is unable for any reason to take
the total amount of vacation time authorized herein during any year, the
vacation time expires and shall not be applied to a subsequent year. Upon any
termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, unused paid vacation
time to which Executive is entitled to in that year shall be paid on a pro rata
basis to Executive within ten (10) days of such termination based on the Base
Salary in effect on the effective date of such termination.

         6. Reimbursement of Business Expenses.

                  The Company shall reimburse the Executive during the term of
this Agreement for travel and other expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred
by the Executive in connection with the Company's business. The Executive shall
furnish such documentation with respect to reimbursement to be paid hereunder as
the Company shall reasonably request.

         7. Termination of Employment.

                  (a) The Executive's employment under this Agreement may be

<PAGE>   3
                           (i) by the Executive at any time for any reason or
         for no reason upon not less than three months (3) months written
         notice;

                           (ii) by the Company at any time for any reason,
         without "cause", or for "cause" as defined below, without prior notice;
         and

                           (iii) upon the Executive's death.

                  (b) For purposes hereof, for "cause" shall mean the material
breach of any provision of this Agreement by Executive, or any action of
Executive (or Executive's failure to act), which, in the reasonable
determination of the Board, involves malfeasance, fraud, or moral turpitude,
which, if generally known, would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

         8. Compensation Upon Termination.

                  (a) In the event that the Company terminates the Executive's
employment under this Agreement without "cause" pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii)
hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to any unpaid Base Salary, and benefits
accrued and earned by her hereunder up to and including the effective date of
such termination, which shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within
thirty (30) days of the effective date of such termination, and the Company
shall pay the Executive monthly an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the
Base Salary for a period of six (6) months (the "Severance Payment"), payable in
accordance with the Company's usual pay practices. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to make the Severance
Payment to the Executive in one lump sum due within thirty (30) days of the
Executive's termination of employment.

                  (b) In the event of termination of the Executive's employment
under this Agreement for "cause" pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii), or if the
Executive voluntarily terminates her employment hereunder, the Executive shall
be entitled to no further compensation or other benefits under this Agreement,
except only as to any unpaid Base Salary and benefits accrued and earned by her
hereunder up to and including the effective date of such termination.

                  (c) In the event of death of the Executive, Executive's
successors and assigns shall be entitled to a portion of any unpaid salary,
bonus and benefits accrued and earned by her hereunder up to and including the
effective date of such termination.

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
8, the Company's obligation to pay, and the Executive's right to receive, any
compensation under this Section 8, shall terminate upon the Executive's breach
of any provision of Section 11 hereof. In addition, the Executive shall promptly
forfeit the Severance Payment received from the Company under this Section 8,
upon the Executive's breach of any provision of Section 11 hereof.

         9. Treatment of Stock Options Upon Termination of Employment or Death.

                  In the event of termination of the Executive's employment
under this Agreement for "cause", any stock options to purchase the Company's
stock, vested or unvested, shall be treated in accordance with the 1998 Stock
Option Plan, as amended. In the event that the Company terminates the
Executive's employment under this Agreement without "cause", any stock option to
purchase the Company's stock may be exercised, but only to the extent it was
otherwise exercisable on the termination date,

                                       3
<PAGE>   4
within ninety (90) days after the date the Executive's employment was
terminated. In the event of Executive's death, all unexpired stock options to
purchase the Company's stock shall accelerate and immediately vest, and shall
accrue as of the date of death and Executive's successors and assigns shall be
entitled to exercise the unexpired options at any time within one year after the
date of Executive's death. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such
options to purchase the Company's stock shall be automatically forfeited upon
the Executive's breach of any of the provisions of Section 11. Any stock option
agreements between the Company and the Executive shall be amended to conform to
the provisions of this Section 9.

         10. Effect of the Company's Merger, Sale or Transfer of Assets.

                  In the event of any acquisition of the Company by means of
merger or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of
the Company are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued by the
acquiring corporation or its subsidiary (other than a mere reincorporation
transaction), a sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, or the effectuation by the Company of a transaction
or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power is
disposed of (other than the Company's sale of its common stock pursuant to a
registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), the
Company shall pay to the Executive, an amount equal to the sum of (a) the
portion of any unpaid salary, bonus and benefits accrued and earned by Executive
hereunder up to and including the effective date of such change in control; and
(b) an amount equal to six (6) months of the Executive's Base Salary. In
addition, all unexpired stock options, granted to the Executive at least six (6)
months prior to the change of control, shall immediately vest and become fully
exercisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive remains employed by the
Company or is retained by the acquiring company, the Executive shall not receive
the benefits provided in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 9, but shall
receive an amount equal to three (3) months of Executive's Base Salary and all
unexpired stock options granted at least six (6) months prior to the change of
control, shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable. Any stock option
agreements between the Company and the Executive shall be amended to conform to
the provisions of this Section 10.

         11. Covenant Not To Compete and Confidentiality.

                  (a) The Executive acknowledges the Company's reliance and
expectation of the Executive's continued commitment to performance of her duties
and responsibilities under this Agreement. In light of such reliance and
expectation on the part of the Company, the Executive agrees that:

                           (i) for a period commencing on the date of this
         Agreement and ending six (6) months after the expiration of the
         Executive's employment under this Agreement for any reason, the
         Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in, or have an
         interest in or be associated with (whether as an officer, director,
         employee, consultant or otherwise) any entity which is engaged in any
         activity which is materially similar to or which is competitive with
         the activities then or at any time during the term of this Agreement
         conducted or actively proposed to be conducted by the Company, or any
         company owned or controlled by the Company or under common control with
         the Company ("Affiliate"), anywhere within the Detroit, Michigan and
         Ann Arbor, Michigan metropolitan area; and

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
                           (ii) the Executive executed a separate
         Confidentiality Agreement upon commencing employment with the Company
         and hereby incorporates the duties and obligations of the Executive
         under such Confidentiality Agreement hereto.

                  (b) The Executive agrees and understands that upon breach of
Section 11(a)(i) and 11(a)(ii), any Severance Payment or payment of benefits due
to Executive shall terminate immediately.

                  (c) The Executive agrees and understands that the remedy at
law for any breach by her of this Section 11 will be inadequate and that the
damages flowing from such breach are not readily susceptible to being measured
in monetary terms. Accordingly, it is acknowledged that, upon adequate proof of
the Executive's violation of any legally enforceable provision of this Section
11, the Company shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief and may obtain
a temporary order restraining any threatened or further breach. Nothing in this
Section 11 shall be deemed to limit the Company's remedies at law or in equity
for any breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of this Section 11
which may be pursued or availed of by the Company.

         12. Acknowledgement of Securities Rules and Restrictions.

                  The Executive acknowledges that shares of the Company's stock
held by the Executive will be subject to the restrictions of Rule 144 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which governs the public sale in ordinary
trading transactions of "restricted securities" and of securities owned by
affiliates.

         13. No Conflicting Agreements.

                  The Executive represents and warrants that she is not a party
to any agreements, contracts, understandings or arrangements, whether written or
oral, in effect which would prevent her from rendering exclusive services to the
Company during the term hereof, and that she has not made and will not make any
commitment to do any act in conflict with this Agreement.

         14. Arbitration.

                  Any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this
Agreement shall be settled finally and exclusively by arbitration in the State
of Michigan in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association
then in effect. Such arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitrator(s)
appointed by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules
and any finding by such arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon the
parties. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction thereof, and the parties consent to the
jurisdiction of the Wayne County, Michigan Circuit Court for this purpose.
Nothing contained in this Section 14 shall be construed to preclude the Company
from obtaining injunctive or other equitable relief to secure specific
performance or to otherwise prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this
Agreement by the Executive as provided in Section 11 hereof.

                         AMENDMENT NO. 3 AND JOINDER TO
                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

            THIS AMENDMENT NO. 3 AND JOINDER TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this
"Amendment No. 3") is made the 4th day of October, 2001, by and among JLG
INDUSTRIES, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation ("JLG"), and certain of its
subsidiaries listed on Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement (as defined below)
(each, together with JLG, individually a "Borrower" and individually and
collectively, the "Borrowers"); the Lenders listed on Schedule 2 to the Credit
Agreement; First Union National Bank, as administrative agent and documentation
agent ("Administrative Agent") and BankOne, Michigan, as syndication agent
("Syndication Agent") and ACCESS FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS, INC., a Maryland
corporation ("AFS").

                                   BACKGROUND

            Borrowers, Lenders, Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent and The
Chase Manhattan Bank, as the former documentation agent, entered into a Credit
Agreement dated June 18, 1999, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement
dated December 16, 1999 and Amendment No. 2 to and Consent and Waiver under
Credit Agreement dated June 30, 2000 (as amended, as so amended hereby and as
may be further amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") in order for
the Borrowers to, among other things: (i) acquire 100% of the stock of Gradall
Industries, Inc., (ii) refinance certain existing indebtedness, and (iii)
provide for additional working capital.

            On August 1, 2001, JLG established the wholly-owned Subsidiary AFS.
From and after August 1, 2001, AFS will enter into all AFS Financing Agreements
(as defined below) with customers of JLG and its Subsidiaries. The applicable
Borrower will sell the applicable inventory to AFS at the sale price to the
customer at the time AFS enters into the AFS Financing Agreement with the
customer. The receivables created by these AFS Financing Agreements will be
reflected on the books of AFS.

            The AFS Financing Agreements require customers to make scheduled
payments to AFS, with additional charges as set forth therein. The customer is
responsible for insurance, taxes and maintenance of the equipment, and the
customer bears the risk of casualty to or loss of the equipment. The customer
must list on Annex A to the AFS Financing Agreement those states in which the
customer plans to use the equipment (which must be in the United States). AFS
may file UCC-1 financing statements against the customer. By executing the AFS
Financing Agreement, the customer and AFS agree that the equipment remains
personal property, even if it is affixed to realty.

                                       -1-

<PAGE>   2

The customer also agrees to keep the equipment free of liens, except in favor of
AFS. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the AFS Financing
Agreement, the customer may sublease the equipment for a period of less than
twelve months.

            The Borrowers, Lenders, Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent
have agreed to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement and grant certain
consents under the Credit Agreement, so as to permit the AFS Financing
Agreements, to join AFS as a Borrower, and to make certain other amendments to
the Credit Agreement, each as set forth herein and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof.

            In consideration of the foregoing and the premises and the
agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound hereby,
effective as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

            1. Definitions

                  "Restructuring Charge Addback" means the charges related to
            the restructuring of the Borrowers and, as of the Amendment No. 3
            Effective Date, are approved by Administrative Agent in the amended

            portion of AFS's interest in AFS Financing Agreements and related
            equipment and documentation.

                  c. Amended Definitions. The following definitions found in
Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended and restated to read in
their entirety as follows:

                  "EBIT" means, for the most recent Rolling Period, Consolidated
            net income of JLG and its Subsidiaries for such period, plus
            interest expense and taxes for such period, and for the fiscal
            quarters ending October 27, 2001, January 26, 2002 and April 27,
            2002, the Restructuring Charge Addback (if within four fiscal
            quarters of when the corresponding charge was made) in each case to
            the extent as defined in accordance with GAAP and, if applicable, to
            the extent each has been deducted in determining net income.

                  "EBITDA" means, for the most recent Rolling Period,
            Consolidated net income of JLG and its Subsidiaries for such period,
            plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization for such

            26, 2002 and April 27, 2002, the Restructuring Charge Addback (if
            within four fiscal quarters of when the corresponding charge was
            made) in each case to the extent as defined in accordance with GAAP
            and, if applicable, to the extent each has been deducted in
            determining net income. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
            forth herein, if for any Rolling Period, a Borrower shall have
            consummated an acquisition of a business, EBITDA shall be calculated
            on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition had taken place on the
            first day of such Rolling Period.

                  "Securitization(s)" means a financing arrangement, a component
            of which is a liquidity facility under which no Borrower is a
            borrower or a guarantor (except to the extent of any Guaranty
            Obligations permitted under Amendment No. 3), whereby a Borrower or
            Borrowers sell portions of its/their accounts receivable and related
            rights to a Securitization Subsidiary, subject to certain
            representations warranties, covenants and indemnity obligations,
            which will in turn sell such receivables and related rights to a
            Purchaser, in each case without recourse (except to the extent of
            any Guaranty Obligations permitted under Amendment No. 3), but
            subject to certain representations, warranties, covenants and
            indemnity obligations. Securitizations include both Recourse
            Securitizations and Non-Recourse Securitizations.

            2. Joinder of AFS. AFS is a direct Subsidiary of JLG. As of the
Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, AFS is hereby joined as a Borrower under the
Credit Agreement, and in furtherance thereof:

                  a. AFS hereby expressly agrees that it shall be bound by all
terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and shall be liable, jointly and
severally with all other Borrowers, for all indebtedness and obligations
thereunder and under the Notes and other documents executed in connection with
the Credit Agreement.

                  b. AFS shall execute and deliver herewith a Joinder to each
Revolving Credit Note in favor of each Lender in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto (collectively, the "Joinders to Revolving Notes") and a Joinder to the
Swingline Note in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Joinder to
Swingline Note").

                  c. Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement (Borrowers) is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto.

                  d. To take into effect the joinder of AFS as a Borrower,
Schedules 6.1(a) through 10.4 to the Credit Agreement are hereby amended and
restated in their entirety as set forth on Schedules 6.1(a) through 10.4
attached hereto.

            3. Amendment and Restatement of Section 4.1(c) (Interest; Applicable
Margin). As of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, Section 4.1(c) of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

                  c. Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin provided for in
            Section 4.1(a) with respect to the Loans (the "Applicable Margin")
            shall be determined by reference to the Leverage Ratio as of the end
            of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the delivery of the
            applicable Officer's Compliance Certificate as follows:

                                       -5-

<PAGE>   6

           Level     Leverage Ratio  Applicable Margin
           -----     --------------  -----------------

             I       greater than or      162.5 bps
                     equal to 3.0

            II       greater than or      112.5 bps
                     equal to 2.5
                     and less than
                         3.0

            III      greater than or      100.0 bps
                     equal to 2.0
                     and less than
                         2.5

            IV       greater than or       87.5 bps
                     equal to 1.5
                     and less than
                         2.0

            V        greater than or       70.0 bps
                     equal to 1.0
                     and less than
                         1.5

            VI       less than 1.0         55.0 bps

Adjustments, if any, in the Applicable Margin shall be made by the
Administrative Agent on: (i) the third (3rd) Business Day after receipt by the
Administrative Agent of quarterly financial statements for JLG and its
Subsidiaries and the accompanying Officer's Compliance Certificate setting forth
the Leverage Ratio of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as of the most recent
fiscal quarter end and (ii) the date upon which the Administrative Agent
confirms to JLG by written notice that it has received formal and final approval
by Required Lenders for Amendment No. 3, at which time the Applicable Margin
shall be the highest Applicable Margin until an adjustment is otherwise
permitted hereunder. Subject to Section 4.1(d), in the event the Borrowers fail
to deliver such financial statements and certificate within the time required by
Section 7.1 hereof, the Applicable Margin may, at the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be the highest Applicable Margin set forth above until the
delivery of such financial statements and certificate.

                                       -6-

            4. Consent to AFS Financing Agreement Transactions and Customer
Financing Transactions. On and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, AFS
will enter into all AFS Financing Agreements with customers of JLG and its
Subsidiaries. The applicable Borrower will sell the applicable equipment to AFS
at the sale price to the customer at the time AFS enters into the AFS Financing
Agreement with the customer. The receivables created by these AFS Financing
Agreements will be reflected on the books of AFS. After the Amendment No. 3
Effective Date, any Borrower may enter into Customer Financing transactions with
customers to the extent permitted by Section 8.21 of the Credit Agreement.

                  a. Section 10.3. Section 10.3 prohibits Borrowers from
creating or incurring a Lien on any of its assets, subject to certain
exceptions. In connection with an AFS Financing Agreement, AFS, as secured
party, may create or incur Liens against equipment sold in connection with AFS
Financing Agreements. In addition, AFS, as secured party, will file UCC-1
financing statements against all customers in connection with AFS Financing
Agreements with terms longer than one year. Such actions may violate Section
10.3. Lenders hereby consent to: (i) the creation of liens by AFS, as secured
party, against equipment sold in connection with AFS Financing Agreements and
(ii) the filing of UCC-1 financing statements by AFS, as secured party, in
connection with AFS Financing Agreements, which reference equipment owned by, or
formerly owned by, AFS as collateral. In addition, Lenders also consent to the
possible creation of liens and filing of UCC-1s by a Borrower as a secured party
in connection with Customer Financing transactions.

                  b. Section 10.4(a). The contribution of the equipment by JLG
or another Borrower to AFS may be characterized as either a loan to or an
investment in AFS. Section 10.4 of the Credit Agreement prohibits loans and
investments by a Borrower in any Person, subject to certain exceptions;
provided, however, that Section 10.4(a) permits loans and investments in
wholly-owned Subsidiaries that are Borrowers (which includes AFS). Therefore,
neither a consent or waiver under this provision is required, including in
connection with contributions of equipment in connection with Customer Financing
transactions.

                  c. Section 10.6.

                       i. The contribution or sale of the equipment by JLG or
another Borrower to AFS may be characterized as a transfer of assets by JLG or
another Borrower to AFS. Section 10.6 prohibits the transfer of assets by a
Borrower; provided, however, that Section 10.6(c) of the Credit Agreement
permits the transfer of assets by a Borrower to a Borrower or any Wholly- Owned
Subsidiary of a Borrower (which includes AFS). Therefore, neither a consent or
waiver under this provision is required, including in connection with
contributions of equipment in connection with Customer Financing transactions.

                       ii. Section 10.6 of the Credit Agreement prohibits
Borrowers from leasing their assets, subject to certain baskets and exceptions.
The AFS Financing Agreements to

                                       -7-

<PAGE>   8

be entered into by AFS permit the customers to sublease the financed equipment
for a term no longer than one year. Lenders hereby consent to subleases (or
leases in connection with conditional sale agreements) of the equipment by
customers in accordance with the terms of the AFS Financing Agreements. Lenders
also consent to subleases (or leases in connection with conditional sale
agreements) in connection with Customer Financing transactions.

                       iii. Amendment and Restatement of Section 10.6(f).
Section 10.6 of the Credit Agreement prohibits Borrowers from leasing or selling
any of their property or assets, subject to certain baskets and exceptions.
Prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, Section 10.6(f) permitted leases by
Borrowers and Subsidiaries up to $100,000,000 under certain circumstances.
Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrowers hereby agree that as of the
Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, Section 10.6 is amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:

            (f) Customer Financings; provided, that, to the extent permitted by
            Section 8.21 hereof: (i) the Customer Financing Value of all
            Customer Financings (other than AFS Financing Agreements) reflected
            on JLG's Consolidated financial statements does not exceed Fifteen
            Million Dollars ($15,000,000) at any time and (ii) the Customer
            Financing Value of all AFS Financing Agreements reflected on JLG's
            Consolidated financial statements does not exceed: (A) One Hundred
            and Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000) prior to August 1, 2002 or
            (B) Zero Dollars ($0) on or after August 1, 2002; provided further,
            that a Customer Financing shall not be included in such amount if it
            is sold to an unaffiliated third party, except to the extent of any
            recourse liabilities related to such sale required in accordance
            with GAAP to be reflected on JLG and its Subsidiaries' Consolidated
            financial statements.

            5. Consent to AFS Securitizations and Syndications.

                  a. Non-Recourse Securitizations and Syndications. So long as
no Event of Default exists and is continuing or would be created thereby,
Lenders hereby consent as follows subject to the following terms and conditions:

                       i. Non-Recourse Securitizations; Debt. JLG and AFS have
informed Administrative Agent that AFS intends to enter into Non-Recourse
Securitizations in connection with the sale of Receivables from AFS Financing
Agreements. Such Non-Recourse Securitizations are permitted under the terms and
conditions set forth in Paragraph 12 of Amendment No. 2 to and Consent and
Waiver under Credit Agreement dated June 30, 2000 by and among Borrowers,
Lenders and Administrative Agent, including a $100,000,000 limitation on Debt,
which is otherwise prohibited by Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. Lenders
hereby consent to additional Debt related to: (i) Non-Recourse Securitizations
in connection with AFS Financing

                                       -8-

<PAGE>   9

Agreements not otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement and (ii) other
sales or discounts without recourse of accounts receivable in connection with
AFS Financing Agreements permitted by Section 10.6(d) of the Credit Agreement,
either singly or in the aggregate, which sales or discounts are not otherwise
permitted under the Credit Agreement (provided, however, that with respect to
sales or discounts without recourse of accounts receivable referenced in clause
(ii) above, "outstanding" means those sold or discounted accounts receivable
which are by their terms not due).

                       ii. Non-Recourse Securitizations; Liens; Sales of Assets;
Restrictive Agreements; Securitization Subsidiaries. Non-Recourse
Securitizations are permitted under Sections 10.3 (Limitations on Liens), 10.6
(Limitations on Sales of Assets) and Section 10.11 (Restrictive Agreements) of
the Credit Agreement under the terms and conditions of the consents and waivers
(including without limitation the requirements of prior notice and delivery of
an opinion of counsel) set forth in Paragraph 12 of Amendment No. 2, as amended
hereby. In addition, the consents and waivers of Lenders with respect to
Securitization Subsidiaries in Paragraph 12 of Amendment No. 2, as amended
hereby, also apply to Non-Recourse Securitizations.

                       iii. Non-Recourse Syndications; Liens. Section 10.3 of
the Credit Agreement prohibits the creation or incurrence of Liens on Borrowers'
assets, except to the extent of exceptions described therein. Upon a
Non-Recourse Syndication, Liens in favor of AFS would be assigned to the
purchaser, together with any existing UCC-1 financing statements. Lenders hereby
acknowledge and agree that purchasers of syndicated AFS Financing Agreements
will hold Liens against equipment formerly owned by AFS.

                       iv. Non-Recourse Syndications; Sale of Assets. Section
10.6 of the Credit Agreement prohibits the Borrowers from conveying, selling,
assigning, transferring, or otherwise disposing of any of their property or
assets, except to the extent of exceptions described therein. A Non-Recourse
Syndication is a sale of AFS's interest in an AFS Financing Agreement and
related equipment and documentation to another party. Lenders hereby consent to
AFS's sale of its interest in AFS Financing Agreements and related equipment and
documentation in connection with Non-Recourse Syndications.

                  b. Recourse Securitizations and Syndications. JLG and AFS have
informed Administrative Agent that AFS, JLG or a Subsidiary may be required to
provide credit enhancement with recourse in connection with the Securitization
or Syndication of certain AFS Financing Agreements. Such recourse is expected to
be no more than twenty percent (20%) of the purchase price of the underlying
equipment, although the specific Securitization or Syndication may further limit
the amount of the recourse to less than twenty percent (20%). Twenty percent
(20%) caps the practical amount of recourse exposure, because AFS's loss would
be reduced by the amount of the proceeds from the resale of the underlying
equipment. AFS tracks all Securitizations and Syndications and measures the
amount of this recourse. Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement prohibits
Borrowers from incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any Guaranty
Obligations (which include such recourse arising from Securitizations and
Syndications). So long as no Event of Default

                                       -9-

<PAGE>   10

exists and is continuing or would be created thereby, Lenders hereby agree and
consent to Recourse Securitizations and Recourse Syndications, subject to the
following terms and conditions; provided, that the aggregate Guaranty
Obligations outstanding at any time with respect to such Recourse
Securitizations and Recourse Syndications do not exceed: (i) $30,000,000 during
the fiscal year ending July 31, 2002; (ii) $60,000,000 during the fiscal year
ending July 31, 2003; and (iii) $100,000,000 during the fiscal year ending July
31, 2004.

                       i. Recourse Securitizations; Debt. JLG and AFS have
informed Administrative Agent that AFS intends to enter into Recourse
Securitizations in connection with the sale of Receivables from AFS Financing
Agreements. Such Recourse Securitizations are permitted under the terms and
conditions set forth in Paragraph 12 of Amendment No. 2 to and Consent and
Waiver under Credit Agreement dated June 30, 2000 by and among Borrowers,
Lenders and Administrative Agent, including a $100,000,000 limitation on Debt,
which is otherwise prohibited by Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. Lenders
hereby consent to additional Debt related to: (i) Recourse Securitizations in
connection with AFS Financing Agreements not otherwise permitted under the
Credit Agreement and (ii) other sales or discounts without recourse of accounts
receivable in connection with AFS Financing Agreements permitted by Section
10.6(d) of the Credit Agreement, either singly or in the aggregate, which sales
or discounts are not otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement (provided,
however, that with respect to sales or discounts without recourse of accounts
receivable referenced in clause (ii) above, "outstanding" means those sold or
discounted accounts receivable which are by their terms not due).

                       ii. Recourse Securitizations; Liens; Sales of Assets;
Restrictive Agreements; Securitization Subsidiaries. Recourse Securitizations
are permitted under Sections 10.3 (Limitations on Liens), 10.6 (Limitations on
Sales of Assets) and Section 10.11 (Restrictive Agreements) of the Credit
Agreement under the terms and conditions of the consents and waivers set forth
in Paragraph 12 of Amendment No. 2, as amended hereby (including without
limitation the requirements of prior notice and delivery of an opinion of
counsel.) In addition, the consents and waivers of Lenders with respect to
Securitization Subsidiaries in Paragraph 12 of Amendment No. 2, as amended
hereby, also apply to Recourse Securitizations.

                       iii. Recourse Syndications; Liens. Section 10.3 of the
Credit Agreement prohibits the creation or incurrence of Liens on Borrowers'
assets, except to the extent of exceptions described therein. Upon a Recourse
Syndication, Liens in favor of AFS would be assigned to the purchaser, together
with any existing UCC-1 financing statements. Lenders hereby acknowledge and
agree that purchasers of syndicated AFS Financing Agreements will hold Liens
against equipment formerly owned by AFS.

                       iv. Recourse Syndications; Sale of Assets. Section 10.6
of the Credit Agreement prohibits the Borrowers from conveying, selling,
assigning, transferring, or otherwise disposing of any of their property or
assets, except to the extent of exceptions described therein. A Recourse
Syndication is a sale of AFS's interest in an AFS Financing Agreement and

                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

related equipment and documentation to another party. Lenders hereby consent to
AFS's sale of its interest in AFS Financing Agreements and related equipment and
documentation in connection with Recourse Syndications.

            6. Consent and Waiver under Section 9.1 (Leverage Ratio). Section
9.1 of the Credit Agreement requires JLG and its Consolidated Subsidiaries to
maintain as of any fiscal quarter end a Leverage Ratio of no greater than 3.0 to
1.0. JLG has informed Administrative Agent that its Leverage Ratio for the
fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2001 is anticipated to exceed 3.0 to 1.0. As of
the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, Lenders hereby waive any Default or Event of
Default for the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2001 arising in connection with
the violation of Section 9.1; provided, however, that if JLG and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries' Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter ending July 31,
2001 exceeds 3.7 to 1.0, then such waiver shall be retroactively void and no
longer in full force and effect.

            7. Amendment and Restatement of Section 9.1(Leverage Ratio). As of
the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

            Section 9.1 Leverage Ratio. As of any fiscal quarter end, permit the
            Leverage Ratio to exceed the level in the right column below for the
            corresponding period in the left column below:

                  Period                        Level
                  ------                        -----

            Amendment No. 3 Effective           3.50 to 1.00
            Date through January 26, 2002

            January 27, 2002 through            3.25 to 1.00
            April 27, 2002

            April 28, 2002 and thereafter       3.00 to 1.00

            8. Consent and Waiver under Section 9.2 (Interest Coverage Ratio).
Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement requires JLG and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries to maintain as of any fiscal quarter end an Interest Coverage Ratio
