PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

 

(A)                              The
Borrower, the Lenders, Fleet National Bank, as the Initial Issuing Bank, the
Swing Line Bank, and the Administrative Agent and PNC Bank, National
Association, as Documentation Agent, are parties to that certain Credit
Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2001, and as amended by the First
Amendment thereto, dated as of August 1, 2003 (as so amended and as it may

Agreement”).

Saf-T-Pak Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Alberta, Canada (“Saf-T-Pak”)
for a purchase price of $8,500,000 (plus a contingent purchase price of up to
$3,000,000) based on Saf-T-Pak’s achievement of specified EBITDA targets)
substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the
Letter of Intent attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Saf-T-Pak
Acquisition”).  The payment of the

consideration to permit Borrower to consummate the Saf-T-Pak Acquisition.

Borrower is desirous of increasing from $20,000,000 to $35,000,000 the
permitted aggregate notional amount of hedging agreements used by Carsen to
mitigate currency fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the Canadian Dollar.

 

(D)                               The
Borrower has requested that the Lenders amend the Credit Agreement as more
fully set forth below.

 

(E)                                 The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders are willing to consent to the Saf-T-Pak
Acquisition, to increase the aggregate notional amount of hedging agreements to
be used by Carsen and to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions
set forth herein.

 

(F)                                 The
terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall

taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

3.             As used in this Amendment, the term “Agreement” shall
mean the Agreement as previously amended by the Prior Amendments.

 

Except as modified by this Amendment, the Agreement

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
