(herein, the "Amendment") is made as of December 23, 2005, by and among Morton
Industrial Group, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the "Borrower"), the Lenders
party to the Credit Agreement hereinafter identified and defined, and Harris
N.A., successor by merger to Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Agent for the
Lenders (in such capacity, the "Agent").

                                    RECITALS

          A. The Lenders currently extend credit to the Borrower on the terms
and conditions set forth in that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement dated as of March 26, 2004, as amended, by and among the Borrower, the
Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent (the "Credit Agreement"). All capitalized

terms have in the Credit Agreement.

         B. The Borrower has requested that the Lenders modify the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005 and the Capital
Expenditures limitation for the fiscal year 2005, and the Lenders are willing to
do so on the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS.

         Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 2 below, the Credit Agreement shall be and hereby is amended as follows:

         1.1. Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending
and restating the definition of "Excess Cash Flow" set forth therein to read in
its entirety as follows:

                  "Excess Cash Flow" means, with respect to any period, the
         amount (if any) by which (a) EBITDA for such period exceeds (b) the sum
         of (i) Interest Expense payable in cash during such period, plus (ii)
         federal, state and local income taxes payable in cash during such
         period, plus (iii) the aggregate amount of payments required to be made
         by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries during such period in respect of
         all principal on all Indebtedness (whether at maturity, as a result of
         mandatory sinking fund redemption, mandatory prepayment, acceleration
         or otherwise, but excluding payments made under the Revolving Credit
         and excluding mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans required to be
         paid in respect of Excess Cash Flow under Section 3.3(a) hereof) and
         all payments of Indebtedness of the type described in clause (viii) of
         the definition of "Indebtedness" herein, plus (iv) the aggregate amount
         of Capital Expenditures made by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
         during such period to the extent

         permitted by this Agreement and not financed with proceeds of
         Indebtedness, provided that, for the fiscal year of the Borrower ending
         December 31, 2005 only, the aggregate amount of Capital Expenditures
         made by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries during such fiscal year shall
         be deemed by the parties hereto to be $5,500,000 for the purposes of
         calculating the amount of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year,
         notwithstanding the actual amount of Capital Expenditures made by such
         parties during such period.

         1.2. Section 8.9 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated
to read in its entirety as follows:

         not, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending
         on the dates set forth below, permit the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to
         be less than:
