Such ratio shall be determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter of Citation
and the Consolidated Entities. Each change in the Commitment Fee Rate shall be
effective on the first day of the first complete calendar month following the
end of such fiscal quarter; provided that such first day is not less than 25
calendar days after such fiscal quarter end (in order to allow time for delivery
of the Margin Certificate for such fiscal quarter end); and provided further
that with respect to any fiscal quarter end that corresponds to a fiscal year
end of Citation and the Consolidated Entities, any change shall be retroactively
effective as of such first day of such first complete calendar month following

fiscal quarter end (required to be delivered 45 calendar days after each fiscal

Such ratio shall be determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter of Citation
and the Consolidated Entities. Each change in the Letter of Credit Fee Rate
shall be effective on the first day of the first complete calendar month
following the end of such fiscal quarter; provided that such first day is not
less than 25 calendar days after such fiscal quarter end (in order to allow time
for delivery of the Margin Certificate for such fiscal quarter end); and

a fiscal year end of Citation and the Consolidated Entities, any change shall be
retroactively effective as of such first day of such first complete calendar
month following the fiscal quarter end once the Banks receive the Margin
Certificate for such fiscal quarter end (required to be delivered 45 calendar
days after each fiscal year end).
1.4 Amendment of Definition of Term "Margin". The definition of the term
"Margin" in Section 1.1 is amended to read in full as follows:

Such ratio shall be determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter of
Citation and the Consolidated Entities. Each change in the Margin shall be
effective on the first day of the first complete calendar month following the
end of such fiscal quarter; provided that such first day is not less than 25
calendar days after such fiscal quarter end (in order to allow time for delivery
of the Margin Certificate for such fiscal quarter end); and provided further
that with respect to any fiscal quarter end that corresponds to a fiscal year
end of Citation and the Consolidated Entities, any change shall be retroactively
effective as of such first day of such first complete calendar month following

ARTICLE 4. CONSENT AND WAIVER
The Borrowers have advised the Banks and the Agents, and hereby represent
and warrant, as follows:
1. Citation has transferred to TSC Texas Corporation a portion
of the intercompany receivables previously owed to Citation by the
other Participating Subsidiaries, as discussed and for the purpose set
forth in the letter dated September 24, 1996 from counsel for the
Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the "Receivables Transfer").
2. Citation desires to sell all its shares of the capital stock
of Pennsylvania Steel Foundry & Machine Company ("Penn Steel") to
Xxxxxxxx Casting Corporation, as discussed in the letter dated October
15, 1996 from counsel for the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Penn Steel Sale").
3. Citation desires to acquire all the capital stock of
Interstate Forging Industries, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation
("Interstate"), and then to transfer the assets of Interstate's
Navasota, Texas facility to Interstate Southwest, Ltd., a newly formed
Texas limited partnership ("Interstate Southwest"), the general
partner of which will be Texas Steel Corporation, an existing
Participating Subsidiary, and the limited partner of which will be ISW
Texas Corporation, a newly fanned Delaware corporation wholly owned by
Interstate ("ISW") and, together with Interstate and Interstate
Southwest, collectively the "New Interstate Entities" and individually
a "New Interstate Entity"), as discussed in the letter dated October
18, 1996 from counsel for the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, a
copy of which is attached hereto to Exhibit C, and the memorandum
dated September 17, 1996 from counsel for the Borrowers to counsel for
the Administrative Agent, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit D (the "Interstate Transaction").
Without the prior written consent of the Required Banks, the Receivables
Transfer is prohibited under,
23
without limitation, Sections 5.2(b), (c), (d) and (i) of the Credit Agreement,
the Penn Steel Sale is prohibited under, without limitation, Sections 5.2(b) and
(d) of the Credit Agreement, and the Interstate Transaction is or may be
prohibited under, without limitation, Sections 5.2(b), (e), (i) and (r), and the
Borrowers have requested the Banks to consent to the Receivables Transfer, the
Penn Steel Sale and the Interstate Transaction (collectively the "Transactions"
and individually a "Transaction"), have requested the Agents to release and
discharge their security interests for the benefit of the Banks and the Agents
in the assets of Penn Steel and in Penn Steel's capital stock, and have
requested the Banks and the Agents to release Penn Steel from all of its
indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the Credit Agreement and the
Notes. In addition, although all of Interstate's indebtedness to M&I Xxxxxxxx
& Xxxxxx Bank ("M&I Bank"), other than theindebtedness to be permitted under new
Section 5.2(h)(10) of the Credit Agreement in accordance with Section 1.12 of
this Amendment (the "Remaining Interstate Indebtedness"), is to be repaid in
connection with the closing of the Interstate Transaction, it is anticipated
that Citation and M&I Bank will require not more than two weeks following the
closing for (i) the parties to negotiate and Citation to execute and deliver to
M&I Bank a guaranty agreement covering Interstate's remaining indebtedness to
M&I Bank (such guaranty is permitted under Section 5.2(g) of the Credit
Agreement) and (ii) for M&I Bank and Interstate to amend the related agreements
between them to incorporate or cross default to the Borrowers' covenants under
the Credit Agreement as amended hereby (collectively, the "Post-Closing
Matters"), and that therefor the Borrowers have requested the Banks to consent
to M&I Bank's security interests in all of Interstate's assets continuing until
the completion of the Post-Closing Matters or the date that is two weeks after
the closing of the Interstate Transaction, whichever occurs first (the "M&I
Bank Release Deadline").
Based upon the foregoing, each Bank hereby consents to each of the
Transactions, in the case of the Receivables Transfer, waives any Event of
Default that has occurred due to the Borrowers' failure to comply with Section
5.2(b), (c), (d) or (i) of the Credit Agreement in connection therewith,
consents to the release and discharge by the Agents of their security interests
for the benefit of the Banks and the Agents in the assets of Penn Steel and in
Penn Steel's capital stock, agrees that Penn Steel shall be released from all of
its indebtedness, obligations and liabilities, under the Credit Agreement and
the Notes, and acknowledges and agrees that the Borrowers have satisfied the
requirements of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5.2(r) in connection with
the Interstate Transaction (and each bank hereby waives the 10-day requirement
with respect thereto to the extent it was not met); provided that
(a) on or before the date of the Penn Steel Sale, (i) Penn Steel shall
have repaid all of its indebtedness to Citation and the other Participating
Subsidiaries and (ii) the Borrowers shall have repaid to the Banks not less than
$8,500,000, being the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all the Loans
borrowed by, or the proceeds of which were otherwise used for the benefit of,
Penn Steel;
(b) the Borrowers and each of the New Interstate Entities shall have
complied with all the requirements under Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement in
connection with the Interstate Transaction;
(c) (i) at the time of the closing of the Interstate Transaction,
Interstate shall have paid in full all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities
of Interstate to M&I Bank other than the Remaining Interstate Indebtedness, and
(ii) on or before the M&I Bank Release Deadline, M&I Bank shall have released
its security interests in all assets of Interstate other than the Lien permitted
under new part (J) of the definition of the term "Permitted Liens" pursuant to
Section 1.6 of this Amendment;
(d) the failure of either of subclauses (i) or (ii) of the foregoing
clause (c) to occur shall be deemed an Event of Default; and
24
(e) such consent and waiver of each Bank (i) is limited to each
Transaction and the release and discharge of the Administrative Agent's security
interests as herein described, (ii) shall not be deemed to be a consent to any
other action in violation of such Sections of the Credit Agreement identified
above or any other Section or provision of the Credit Agreement or any other
Loan Docwnent, (iii) shall not be deemed a waiver of any Section or provision of
the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, except such identified Sections
as they apply to each Transaction, respectively, (iv) shall not be deemed to
prejudice any other right or rights which the Agents or any of the Banks now
have or may hav'e in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, and (v) shall not be deemed a consent to the
release or discharge of any other Collateral.
ARTICLE 5. MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 If the Borrowers shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant
or agreement in this Amendment, or any representation or warranty made by the
Borrowers in this Amendment shall prove to have been incorrect in any material
respect when made, such occurrence shall be deemed to constitute an Event of
Default.
5.2 All references to the Credit Agreement in any Note, Security Document
or other Loan Document hereafter shall be deemed references to the Credit
Agreement, as amended hereby.
