Maker's option from time to time at (i) the Prime Rate, or (ii) Adjusted LIBOR.
From and after the date of any default and the expiration of any applicable cure

sixty (360) days. The Bank is authorized to rely on the oral or written loan
requests, including telecopy or telegraphic loan requests, which Bank believes
in its good faith judgment to emanate from a properly authorized representative
of Maker, whether or not that is in fact the case.

3.    Prime Loans. A request by Maker for a Prime Loan must be received no later
than 11:00 a.m. Chicago, Illinois time, on the day such Prime Loan (a) is to be
advanced by Bank or (b) shall begin to bear interest at the Prime Rate. Interest
on the unpaid principal balance of Prime Loans shall be payable, in arrears,
beginning on June 1, 2004 and continuing on the first day of each month

in the case of a LIBOR Loan having an Interest Period of six-months, on the last
day of the third month of such Interest Period), (ii) the date of any principal
repayment of the amount paid, (iii) at maturity of the Note, and (iv) after
maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) on demand from Bank.

5.    Provisions Relating to LIBOR Loans.

      (a) The principal balance of any LIBOR Loan may be prepaid in whole or in
part at any time, provided that, if, for any reason, any LIBOR Loan is paid
prior to the last Business Day of its then-current Interest Period, Maker agrees
to indemnify Bank against any loss (including any loss on redeployment of the
funds repaid), cost or expense incurred by Bank as a result of such prepayment.

      (b) If Bank determines in good faith (which determination shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period that (i) United States dollar deposits of sufficient amount and maturity
for funding any LIBOR Loan are not available to Bank in the London Interbank
Eurodollar market in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) by reason of
circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and
fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest to be applicable
to the relevant LIBOR Loan, Bank shall promptly notify Maker

                                       4
<PAGE>

thereof and, so long as the foregoing conditions continue, advances under the
Note may not be advanced as a LIBOR Loan thereafter. In addition, at Maker's
option, each existing LIBOR Loan shall be immediately (y) converted to a Prime
Loan on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period, or (z) due
and payable on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period,
without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby waived by Maker.

      (c) If after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in any
applicable law, treaty, rule, regulation or guideline or in the interpretation
or administration thereof by any governmental authority or any central bank or
other fiscal, monetary or other authority having jurisdiction over Bank or its
lending office (a "Regulatory Change") shall, in the reasonable determination of
Bank, make it unlawful for Bank to make or maintain the LIBOR Loans, then Bank
shall promptly notify Maker and advances under the Note may not be advanced as a
LIBOR Loan thereafter. In addition, at Maker's option, each existing LIBOR Loan
shall be immediately (i) converted to a Prime Loan on the last Business Day of
the then existing Interest Period or on such earlier date as required by law, or
(ii) due and payable on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest
Period or on such earlier date as required by law, all without further demand,
presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by
Maker.

      (d) If any Regulatory Change (whether or not having the force of law)
shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any assessment, reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the
account of or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds or disbursements by,
Bank; (B) subject Bank or any LIBOR Loan to any tax, duty, charge, stamp tax or
fee or change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of principal or interest
due from Maker to Bank hereunder (other than a change in the taxation of the
overall net income of Bank); or (C) impose on Bank any other condition regarding
such LIBOR Loan or Bank's funding thereof, and Bank shall reasonably determine
(which reasonable determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that
the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of making or
maintaining such LIBOR Loan or to reduce the amount of principal or interest
received by Bank hereunder, then Maker shall (i) pay to Bank, on demand, such
additional amounts as Bank shall, from time to time, determine are sufficient to
compensate and indemnify Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount, or (ii)
convert each LIBOR Loan to a Prime Loan, provided that Maker shall remain liable
for such additional amounts incurred by the Bank prior to conversion to a Prime
Loan and such conversion shall be treated as a prepayment of a LIBOR Loan if it
occurs prior to expiration of the applicable Interest Period.

6.    Letters of Credit.

      (a) Upon the execution and delivery by Maker and the acceptance by Bank,
in its sole and absolute discretion, of Bank's standard Master Letter of Credit
Agreement and application(s) therefor, Bank agrees to issue for the account of
Maker, such Letters of Credit in the standard form of Bank and otherwise in form
and substance acceptable to Bank, from time to time during the term of this
Note, provided that the Letter of Credit Obligations plus the FX Obligations may
not at any time exceed the FX/LC Sublimit and provided, further, that no Letter
of Credit shall have an expiration date later than May 6, 2006. The amount of
any payments made by Bank with respect to draws made by a beneficiary under a
Letter of Credit for which Maker has failed to reimburse Bank upon the earlier
of (i) Bank's demand for repayment, or (ii) five (5) days from the date of such
payment to such beneficiary by Bank, shall be deemed to have been converted to a
Prime Loan as of the date such payment was made by Bank to such beneficiary.
Upon the occurrence of a default and at the option of Bank, all Letter of Credit
Obligations shall be converted to Prime Loans, all without demand, presentment,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Maker.

                                       5
<PAGE>

      (b) Maker shall pay to Bank (i) a fee of .75% in connection with the
issuance of each standby Letter of Credit. All Letters of Credit shall bear the
Bank's usual and customary fees contained in Bank's standard letter of credit
fee schedule.

      (c) In the event that any Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding
upon the termination and/or expiration of this Note, as amended or replaced from
time to time, Maker shall, upon demand, deposit with Bank in a cash collateral
account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Letter of Credit
Obligations. Bank may apply any interest accruing on such cash collateral
account until the Letter of Credit Obligations and any and all obligations
hereunder shall have been fulfilled without the consent of Maker.

7.    FX Transactions.

      (a) Upon the execution and delivery by Maker and the acceptance by Bank,
in its sole and absolute discretion, of Bank's standard documentation therefor
("FX Documents"), Bank agrees to engage in FX Transactions for the account of
Maker, from time to time during the term of this Note, provided that (i) the FX
Obligations plus the Letter of Credit Obligations may not at any time exceed the
FX/LC Sublimit, (ii) the MDDR may not exceed the MDDR Sublimit, and (iii) no FX
Transaction shall have an expiration date later than the Maturity Date. The
amount of any payments made by Bank with respect to FX Transactions for which
Maker has failed to reimburse Bank in accordance with the FX Documents shall be
deemed to have been converted to a Prime Loan as of the date such payment was
made by Bank. Upon the occurrence of a default and at the option of Bank, the FX
Obligations shall be converted to Prime Loans, all without demand, presentment,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Maker.

      (b) Maker shall pay to Bank Bank's usual and customary fees in connection
with FX Transactions.

8.    Collection of Funds. Principal payments submitted in funds not available
until collected shall continue to bear interest until collected. If payment
hereunder becomes due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under
the laws of the United States or the State of Illinois, the due date thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be
payable thereon at the rate specified during such extension.

9.    Evidence of the Obligations. This Note is executed pursuant to a revolving
line of credit under which Maker is indebted to Bank and evidences the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all advances made or to be made by Bank to Maker
under the Note. All advances, credit accommodations and repayments hereunder
shall be evidenced by entries on the books and records of Bank which shall be
presumptive evidence of the principal amount and interest owing and unpaid on
this Note, or any renewal or extension hereof. The failure to so record any such
amount or any error so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or
otherwise affect the obligations of Maker hereunder or under any other documents
or instrument to repay the principal amount of the Obligations together with all
interest and fees accruing thereon.

10.   Authorized Persons. Loans under this Note may be made by Bank upon oral or
written request of any person which Bank in its good faith judgment believes to
be a properly authorized representative of Maker, whether or not that is in fact
the case. Any such Loans shall be conclusively presumed to have been made by
Bank to or for the benefit of Maker. Maker does hereby irrevocably confirm,
ratify and approve all such advances by Bank and does hereby indemnify Bank
against losses and expenses (including court costs, attorneys' and paralegals'
fees) and shall hold Bank harmless with respect thereto.

have been paid in full, Maker shall:

                        [WMS INDUSTRIES INC. LETTERHEAD]

                                                                 August 11, 2004

Mr. Brian Gamache
680 Leland Court
Lake Forest, IL 60045

Dear Brian:

      As you are aware, the Board of Directors of WMS Industries Inc. (the
"Company") intends to adopt a new omnibus compensation plan (the "New Plan") to
replace all of the Company's existing stock option plans. It is intended that
the New Plan will be presented for stockholder approval at the Company's annual
meeting to be held on or about December 9, 2004.

      Under Section 7.2 of your existing employment agreement dated June 15,
2001 with the Company (the "Employment Agreement"), you are entitled to the
grant of an option (the "Option") to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock within 30 days after August 9, 2004, the date the Company publicly
announced its audited results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. The
Company has asked you to permit it to defer that grant until the annual meeting
so that the grant may be made under the New Plan and you have agreed to the
deferment on the following terms and conditions.

      1. You agree that the grant of the Option may be deferred until the
Company's 2004 annual meeting of stockholders but in no event beyond December
31, 2004. If the New Plan is approved by the Company's stockholders, the Option
will be granted to you under the New Plan on the date of the annual meeting.

      2. When the Option is granted, the vesting schedule of the Option will be
the same as it would have been had the Option been granted on August 11, 2004;
namely, the Option will be exercisable for one-third of the shares covered
thereby on August 11, 2005, an additional one-third of the shares covered
thereby on August 11, 2006 and an additional one-third of the shares covered
thereby on August 11, 2007.

      3. The exercise price of the Option will be the higher of $23.46 and the
closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant of the Option.
If the exercise price of the Option is greater than $23.46, then, within three
business days from the grant of the Option, the Company shall pay you an amount
equal to such difference multiplied by 100,000, subject to any required
withholding.

Mr. Brian R. Gamache                    2                        August 11, 2004

      4. If for any reason the Company's stockholders do not approve the new
plan on or before December 31, 2004, you and the Company will negotiate in good
faith a way to make you economically whole as if the Option had been granted to
you on August 11, 2004 without this deferral.

      5. Except for the deferral of the Option with respect to the Company's
fiscal 2004 results of operations as contemplated hereby, the terms of your
Employment Agreement remain unchanged.

      If the foregoing is in accordance with your agreement and understanding,
please sign a copy of this letter below under the words "Accepted and Agreed to"
and return it to the undersigned.

                                                    Very truly yours,

                                                    /s/ Orrin J. Edidin

                                                    Orrin J. Edidin
                                                    Executive Vice President

ACCEPTED AND AGREED TO:

/s/ Brian R. Gamache
