inserting at the end of the first sentence thereof the following:

     "; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no application of the Net Sale Proceeds from any
     asset sale shall be required to be made in accordance with this Sec-
     tion 4.02(h) (although the Company shall be required to notify the
     Banks on or prior to the occurrence of any such sale of (x) the assets
     proposed to be sold and (y) the expected timing of, and Net Sale
     Proceeds to be realized from, such sale) unless and until the Net Sale
     Proceeds of such asset sale, together with the Net Sale Proceeds of
     all prior asset sales (whether or not such assets constituted
     Collateral at the time of such sale but excluding asset sales referred
     to in





     clauses (i) and (ii) of the second parenthetical of this Section 4.02(h)
     and the analogous clauses contained in Section 4.02(i)), to the extent the
     Net Sale Proceeds from such prior asset sales have not at or prior to such
     time been applied in accordance with this Section 4.02(h) or Section
     4.02(i), equals or exceeds $10,000,000; PROVIDED FURTHER, that the Company
     may elect to apply Net Sale Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.02(h) prior
     to the $10,000,000 threshold being met and may, pending any mandatory or
     optional application of Net Sale Proceeds, use such Net Sale Proceeds for
     general corporate purposes except that the Company may not so use such Net
     Sale Proceeds directly or indirectly to repay Bank Debt or Existing Senior
     Debt in violation of the "equal and ratable" provisions of the Existing
     Senior Indenture.  For purposes of this Section 4.02(h), Section 4.02(i)
     and the last sentence of the definition of Share, proceeds shall be deemed
     to be applied in accordance with Section 4.02(i) if the Company has (x)
     complied with the notice provisions of the Existing Senior Indenture in
     connection with a redemption of either Issue of Existing Senior Debt (for
     so long as the Company continues to take all actions necessary to effect
     the specified redemption in accordance with the terms of the Existing
     Senior Indenture) or (y) deposited such proceeds in the cash collateral
     account referred to in Section 4.02(i)."

          2.  Section 4.02(i) to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting all of the first sentence thereof beginning after the phrase "PROVIDED,
however," the first time such phrase appears and inserting in lieu thereof the
following:

     "no application of the Net Sale Proceeds from any asset sale shall be
     required to be made in accordance with this Section 4.02(i) (although
     the Company shall be required to notify the Banks on or prior to the
     occurrence of any such sale of the (x) assets proposed to be sold and
     (y) the expected timing of, and Net Sale Proceeds to be realized from,
     such sale) unless and until the Net Sale Proceeds of such asset sale,
     together with the Net Sale Proceeds of all prior asset sales (whether
     or not such assets constituted Collateral at the time of such sale but
     excluding asset sales referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of the
     second





     parenthetical of this Section 4.02(i) and the analogous clauses contained
     in Section 4.02(h)), to the extent the Net Sale Proceeds from such prior
     asset sales have not at or prior to such time been applied in accordance
     with this Section 4.02(i) or Section 4.02(h), equals or exceeds
     $10,000,000; PROVIDED FURTHER, that the Company may elect to apply Net Sale
     Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.02(i) prior to the $10,000,000
     threshold being met and may, pending any mandatory or optional application
     of Net Sale Proceeds, use such Net Sale Proceeds for general corporate
     purposes except that the Company may not so use such Net Sale Proceeds
     directly or indirectly to repay Bank Debt or Existing Senior Debt in
     violation of the "equal and ratable" provisions of the Existing Senior
     Indentures; PROVIDED FURTHER, that if the respective Issue of Existing
     Senior Debt will be redeemable, in relevant part, at par (plus any accrued
     interest) after the giving of the notice hereinafter described in this
     proviso, then the making of any prepayment required by this Section 4.02(i)
     with respect to either Issue of Existing Senior Debt may be delayed (but
     not by more than 65 days) beyond the date of prepayment otherwise required
     by this Section 4.02(i) to the extent necessary to comply with the notice
     provisions of the Existing Senior Indenture for such repayment; PROVIDED
     FURTHER, that if either Issue of the Existing Senior Debt (any such Issue,
     the "Affected Issue") will not be redeemable, in relevant part, at par
     (plus any accrued interest) on the date of any required prepayment pursuant
     to this Section 4.02(i) (and after giving effect to the immediately
     preceding proviso), then (i) the proceeds which would otherwise be applied
     to such Affected Issue shall instead be deposited in a cash collateral
     account to be established with the Administrative Agent (pursuant to a cash
     collateral agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
     Administrative Agent) to be held (with investments of such Share in Cash
     Equivalents, and only in Cash Equivalents, to be permitted, and with any
     investment income on such Share being permitted to be used to pay accrued
     interest owing on the securities of the Affected Issue in connection with
     the offers to purchase or redemptions described below and, in addition,
     which investment income (to the extent positive on a net basis) may be
     withdrawn by the Company to





     pay regularly accruing interest on the securities of the Affected Issue),
     for the benefit of the holders of the Affected Issue until such time as
     such amounts are applied or released, at the Company's option, as described
     in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) below, (ii) the Company may distribute to
     all holders of such Affected Issue an offer to purchase (the form and terms
     of which offer to purchase shall conform in all material respects to all
     requirements of the applicable law) on a date (any such date, regardless of
     whether any securities of the respective Affected Issue are actually
     tendered for purchase, is herein called a "Purchase Date") occurring not
     later than 30 days (or such longer period, if any, as is required by
     applicable law) after the distribution thereof, an aggregate principal
     amount of such Affected Issue the purchase price of which (including any
     premium payable, but excluding accrued interest) is equal to the Share
     (without giving effect to any investment income received with respect
     thereto) of such Affected Issue of the proceeds of the respective asset
     sale or sales at a price that is equal to or greater than par and less than
     or equal to par plus the redemption premium otherwise applicable to such
     Affected Issue on the applicable Purchase Date (in the event that the
     Affected Issue is not redeemable on such date the applicable premium shall
     be the redemption premium which would be in effect on the first date on
     which such securities will be redeemable), in each case, plus any accrued
     interest through the Purchase Date (which accrued interest shall be paid
     with any earnings on the amounts invested as described in clause (i) above
     and with additional funds, to the extent needed, provided by the Company),
     and (B) on the Purchase Date, accept all Existing Senior Debt of such
     Affected Issue (or proportionate amounts thereof in cases where the offer
     to purchase is oversubscribed, with the effect being that in no event shall
     there be repurchased on any Purchase Date securities of the Affected Issue
     at an aggregate purchase price (exclusive of accrued interest) which
     exceeds the Share applicable thereto as described in preceding clause (A))
     duly delivered to it in accordance with the terms of such offer to purchase
     (such securities, the "Tendered Securities") and withdraw, from amounts
     then on deposit with the Administrative Agent, an





     amount equal to the Share of the respective asset sale or asset sales
     applicable to such Affected Issue (or such lesser amount as equals the
     principal amount of securities of the Affected Issue tendered for purchase)
     and any investment income on such amounts, which amounts shall be used by
     the Company (together with its own funds to the extent needed to pay
     additional interest) to pay all amounts then due and owing by the Company
     with respect to the purchase of Tendered Securities, (iii) on the Purchase
     Date (after giving effect to the purchases, if any, of the Affected Issue
     effected on such date in accordance with clause (ii) above), so long as no
     Acceleration Event has occurred and continues to exist with respect to the
     Affected Issue in connection with which the offer to purchase was made (and
     if such an Acceleration Event is in existence, all amounts hereinafter
     described in this clause (iii) shall instead be delivered by the
     Administrative Agent, to the extent it has actual knowledge of such
     Acceleration Event, to the Existing Senior Trustee for application to the
     respective Affected Issue), all amounts remaining on deposit with the
     Administrative Agent which relate to the Share of proceeds of such Affected
     Issue from the asset sale or sales with respect to which the Purchase Date
     has just occurred (together with any remaining investment income thereon
     not withdrawn pursuant to preceding clause (i) or (ii)), shall be released
     to the Company and (iv) if, at any time after the Share of the respective
     Affected Issue has been deposited in the cash collateral account described
     above in this proviso, such Affected Issue is redeemable, in relevant part,
     at par or at par plus a redemption premium (plus any accrued interest),
     then the Company may redeem, in relevant part, that portion of the
     respective Affected Issue the aggregate redemption price of which (together
     with the redemption premium, but excluding accrued interest) is equal to
     the Share of asset sale proceeds allocable to such Affected Issue which is
     then on deposit in the cash collateral account (but excluding investment
     income thereon, which may be used, together with monies of the Company, to
     pay accrued interest in respect of such redemption), in accordance with the
     terms of the Existing Senior Indenture."





          3.   Section 4.02(l) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting the first sentence thereof in its entirety and by inserting the
following new sentence in lieu thereof:

          "In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment
          reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date, if any, upon
          which cash proceeds are released to the Company in accordance with the
          second clause (iii) contained in Section 4.02(i) (excluding investment
          income returned to the Company from time to time which is promptly
          used by the Company to pay interest then due and payable on the
          respective Affected Issue), an amount equal to the cash proceeds so
          returned to the Company shall be required to be applied to prepay Term
          Loans (or, if the Initial Borrowing Date has not yet occurred, as a
          mandatory reduction to the Total Term Loan Commitment)."

          4.  Section 8.01(i) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
inserting at the end thereof the phrase: "Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company will only be required to provide the Banks with notice of or with copies
of communications described in the immediately preceding sentence which are not
material on or prior to the tenth day after the close of the fiscal quarter in
which such communications were received".

          5.  The definition of "Share" appearing in Section 11 of the Credit
Agreement shall be amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof:

          "For purposes of determining the Share of the Existing Senior Notes,
     Existing Senior Debentures or Bank Debt for purposes of this definition or
     the definition of "Share Denominator", the determination of the outstanding
     principal amount of Existing Senior Notes, Existing Senior Debentures or
     Bank Debt Amount shall be made at the time that the applicable asset sale
     proceeds are received (whether or not at such time the $10,000,000
     threshold referred to in Sections 4.02(h) or 4.02(i) has been reached)."

          6.  Part A of Schedule III of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
by deleting the sixteenth Mortgaged Property listed therein which is located at

Limited" the phrase
", Garlock S.A."
