either (i) payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant
Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Warrants being exercised in lawful
money of the United States of America or (ii) notice by the registered Holder of
this Warrant Certificate of its election to exercise the Warrants evidenced by
this Warrant Certificate on a cashless basis in the manner described in
subsection (d) of this Section 3, all as specified by the Holder of this Warrant

Certificate in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly
issue and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the registered
Holder of such Warrants, and in such name or names as such

<PAGE>

registered Holder may designate, one or more certificates for the Warrant Shares
issued upon such exercise of such Warrants. Any Person so designated to be named
therein shall be deemed to have become Holder of record of such Warrant Shares
as of the Date of Exercise of such Warrants.

     The "Date of Exercise" of any Warrant means the date on which the Company
          ----------------
shall have received (i) this Warrant Certificate, with the Form of Election to
Purchase attached hereto appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii)
unless the Holder of this Warrant Certificate makes the election described in
subsection (d) of this Section 3, payment of the Exercise Price for such
--------------         ---------
Warrant.

     (d)  In lieu of paying the Exercise Price upon exercise of the Warrants,
the Holder of this Warrant Certificate may elect to receive a number of Warrant
Shares whose aggregate Market Price as of the Date of Exercise is equal to the
fair value of this Warrant Certificate (or the portion hereof evidencing the
number of Warrants then being exercised) on such date, in which event the
Company shall issue to the Holder of this Warrant Certificate, upon receipt of
notice of such election, a number of Warrant Shares equal to (i) the number of
Warrant Shares that would otherwise be issuable upon payment of the Exercise
Price of the Warrants then being exercised minus (ii) the number of Common
Shares having an aggregate Market Price equal to the product obtained by
multiplying the Exercise Price by the number of Warrant Shares otherwise
issuable upon payment of the Exercise Price of the Warrants then being
exercised.

     (e)  The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall be
exercisable, either as an entirety or, from time to time, for part only of the
number of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate. If less than all of
the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are exercised at any time,
the Company shall issue, at its expense, a new Warrant Certificate, in
substantially the form of this Warrant Certificate, for the remaining number of
Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate.

     (f)  Subject to the terms of Section 7(j), the beginning of the Exercise
                                  ------------
Period shall be accelerated to permit the Holder of this Warrant Certificate to
exercise this Warrant immediately (i) prior to the consummation of an Organic
Change (as defined in Section 7(d)); (ii) upon the occurrence of an event which
                      ------------
with the passage of time would result in the occurrence of a Separation Date (as
defined in the Company Rights Plan) under the Company Rights Plan (as defined
hereunder) or (iii) subsequent to a Refinancing Event. A "Refinancing Event"
                                                          -----------------
shall be deemed to have occurred when the Company refinances or repays all the
Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement such
that the Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall have
occurred under the Credit Agreement. No Holder shall be required to provide any
representation (other than as to its title to this Warrant or the Warrant
Shares), covenants or indemnification in connection with an Organic Change, a
Separation Date or a Refinancing Event, provided, however that a Holder may be
                                        --------  -------
required to complete a customary letter of transmittal or other comparable
document which is sent to all other public shareholders of the Company. If a
Warrant is exercised on or prior to July 31, 2002 pursuant to an acceleration
under subsection 3(f)(ii), any Holder who exercises such Warrant must either (x)
      -------------------
agree not to transfer 100% of the Warrant Shares issuable to such Holder upon
such exercise to a non-Affiliate prior to October 1, 2002 or (y) agree to repay
to the Company, in the event that a warrant reduction pursuant to Section 10 of
the Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement occurs, all of the net proceeds,
without interest, which such Holder received in connection with

<PAGE>

such transfer. If a Warrant is exercised after July 31, 2002 and prior to
October 1, 2002 pursuant to an acceleration under subsection 3(f)(ii), any
                                                  -------------------
Holder who exercises such Warrant must either (x) agree not to transfer 49.5% of
the Warrant Shares issuable to such Holder upon such exercise to a non-Affiliate
prior to October 1, 2002 or (y) agree to repay to the Company, in the event that
a warrant reduction pursuant to Section 10 of the Warrant and Registration
Rights Agreement occurs, 49.5% of the net proceeds, without interest, which such
Holder received in connection with such transfer.

     SECTION 4. Payment of Taxes. Subject to applicable law, the Company will
                ----------------
pay all transfer and stock issuance taxes attributable to the issuance of the
Warrants and the Warrant Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not
                                 --------  -------
be required to pay any tax in respect of the transfer of Warrants.

     SECTION 5. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificate. If this Warrant
                ----------------------------------------
Certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company will,
upon request by the registered Holder of this Warrant Certificate, issue, in
exchange for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in
substitution for the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate, a new
Warrant Certificate, in substantially the form of this Warrant Certificate, of
like tenor and representing the equivalent number of Warrants, but, in the case
of loss, theft or destruction, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant Certificate and, if
requested by the Company, a written agreement of indemnity from the Holder
satisfactory to the Company or a lost certificate bond.

     SECTION 6. Reservation, Listing and Issuance of Warrant Shares.
                ---------------------------------------------------

     (a)  The Company will at all times have authorized, and reserve and keep
available, free from preemptive rights, for the purpose of enabling it to
satisfy any obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the
Warrants, the number of shares of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants.

     (b)  Before taking any action which could cause an adjustment pursuant to
Section 7 reducing the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the
---------
Warrant Shares, the Company will take any corporate action which may be
necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue at the
Exercise Price as so adjusted Warrant Shares that are fully paid and
non-assessable.

     (c)  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant Certificate, be (i) duly authorized,
fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) free from all taxes with respect to the
issuance thereof and from all adverse claims, liens, charges and security
interests created by the Company.

     SECTION 7. Adjustments of Price and Number of Warrant Shares.
                -------------------------------------------------

     (a)  Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares Issuable. Upon each adjustment
          -----------------------------------------------
of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 7, the Holder of a Warrant shall
                                       ---------
be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment,
a number of Warrant Shares equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment.

<PAGE>

     (b)  Subdivision or Combination of Stock. If the Company shall at any time
          -----------------------------------
subdivide (whether by stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares or pay
a dividend or make a distribution to holders of Common Shares in the form of
Common Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision, payment or distribution shall be proportionately reduced;
conversely, if the outstanding Common Shares shall be combined into a smaller
number of shares (whether by reverse Shares split or otherwise), the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately
increased.

     (c)  Dividends and Rights Offerings.
          ------------------------------

               (i)   If the Company shall pay a dividend or distribution
          (including, without limitation, a distribution in the form of
          securities of the Company) upon the Common Shares, regardless of
          whether the Warrants are otherwise then exercisable, the Company shall
          pay to the holder of this Warrant Certificate, in respect of each
          Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby,
          an amount equal, in the case of a dividend in cash, to the amount per
          Common Share so payable or, in the case of any other dividend, to the
          fair value per Common Share of the property so payable, as determined,
          reasonably and in good faith, by the board of directors of the

       date herewith (the "Second Amendment Agreement"), the parties to the
       Multicurrency Agreement agreed to amend the Multicurrency Agreement in
       certain respects. RBS and Natwest have agreed to make equivalent
       amendments to the RBS Facility Agreement and the Natwest Facility
       Agreement.

(F)    The parties wish to enter into this Agreement to record the basis on
       which the RBS Facility Agreement and the Natwest Facility Agreement are
       being amended.

 IT IS AGREED as follows:-

1      DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

       In this Agreement, except where the context otherwise requires, words and
       expressions defined and references construed in the RBS Facility
       Agreement or the NatWest Facility Agreement (but not defined or construed
       in this Agreement) shall have the same meaning herein.

2      AMENDMENT OF FACILITY AGREEMENTS

2.1    With effect from the date hereof, subject only to Clause 3.1, it is
       agreed that, insofar as they are inconsistent with those provisions
       contained in the Second Amendment Agreement specified in Clauses 2.1.1 to
       2.1.6 below (but only as such provisions are in force as at the date of
       this Agreement), the terms of the RBS Facility Agreement and the Natwest
       Facility Agreement shall each be deemed to be amended, to the extent
       necessary to make them consistent with the following provisions:-

       2.1.1  Section 1.3 - Net Proceeds of Disposition of Assets;

       2.1.2  Section 1.4 - Fees;

       2.1.3  Section 1.5 - Audit Report;

       2.1.4  Section 1.6 - Quarterly Financial Covenants;

       2.1.5  Section 1.7 - Monthly Financial Covenant

       2.1.6  Section 1.8 - Restricted Payments insofar as it relates to
              permitting the payment of dividends of $42,000 semi-annually on
              the preferred stock of McLean Midwest Corporation;

2.2    Interest and Fees

       All accrued interest and fees payable under the RBS Facility Agreement
       and the NatWest Facility Agreement shall notwithstanding any provision to
       the contrary contained therein, be due on the last Banking Day (as
       defined in the RBS Facility Agreement) of each calendar month, including,
       without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing:

       2.2.1  interest payable in respect of the Overdraft and Short Term
              Advances Option contained in the RBS Facility Agreement; and

       2.2.2  interest payable in respect of the Loan, Corporate Dealing Line,
              Overdraft and, if applicable, the Ancillaries (as defined therein)

       Upon the disposition of any assets of APW Ltd or any of its Subsidiaries
       or the occurrence of any of the other events listed in Clause 2.8(b) of
       the Multicurrency Agreement that results in a reduction in the Combined

       Natwest Facility Agreement, each as amended.

3      CONDITIONS PRECEDENT AND SUBSEQUENT TO THIS AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT

3.1    This Agreement shall become effective once RBS, for itself and on behalf
       of Natwest, has received both (a) the Second Amendment Agreement duly
       executed, dated the date hereof, in form and substance satisfactory to
       RBS, such Second Amendment Agreement being conditional at that stage only
       on receipt of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent (as defined
       therein) and (b) an amendment to the First Tranche Warrant Certificate
       and a Second Tranche Warrant Certificate in the form attached as Exhibit
       B and C to the Second Amendment Agreement giving RBS (on behalf of itself

       may be agreed between APW Ltd, the Agent under the Muticurrency Agreement
       and RBS.

3.2    It shall be a condition subsequent to this Agreement that RBS shall have
       received in a form and substance satisfactory to it within 15 days of the
       date of this Agreement, a copy, certified as true and up to date copy by
       the Secretary of each UK Obligor, of a resolution of the board of
       directors of such UK Obligor approving the execution and delivery of this
       Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder and
       authorising a person or persons (specified by name) on behalf of each UK
       Obligor to sign and deliver this Agreement and any other documents to be
       delivered by it pursuant thereto.

4      GENERAL

4.1    The Borrowers hereby undertake that the Representations and Warranties
       set out in Clause 12 of the RBS Facility Agreement are true and accurate
       as of the date of this Agreement and represent and warrant to each of RBS
       and Natwest in the same terms as the representations and warranties
       contained in Clause 3 of the Second Amendment Agreement.

4.2    RBS and Natwest shall each be paid an amendment fee of 10 basis points on
       their Commitment under the Multicurrency Agreement and their commitments
       under the RBS Facility Agreement and the Natwest Facility Agreement on
       the date on which the amendment fee is payable to each Bank (as defined
       therein) in accordance with Section 1.10 of the Second Amendment
       Agreement.

4.3    All other terms and conditions of the Facility Agreement remain
