9.13 of the Credit




Agreement and be satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent.

          2.   The Banks hereby acknowledge that upon the consummation of the
Merger in accordance with this Waiver, the Collateral Agent may release from
pledge under the Subsidiaries Pledge Agreement the stock certificates repre-
senting all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CFPI and
CPFM, respectively.

          3.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section

          4.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
9.17 of the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or
any other Credit Document, the Company shall be permitted to create a new
subsidiary in Barbados ("Newco") in order to effect the Foreign Merger (as
defined below), provided that the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall have
received a certificate signed by the president or any vice president of the
Company certifying copies of any relevant corporate organizational documents
prepared in connection with the incorporation of Newco (collectively, the "Newco
Documents"), and such Newco Documents shall be satisfactory in form and
substance to the Administrative Agent.

          5.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
9.02 or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit

signed by the President or any Vice President of the Company certifying copies
of the Certificate of Merger providing for such Foreign Merger and any other
documents relating to the consummation of such Foreign Merger (collectively, the
"Foreign Merger Documents") and such Foreign Merger Documents shall comply with
Section 9.13 of the Credit Agreement and be


                                       -2-


satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent.

          6.   The Banks hereby acknowledge that upon the consummation of the
Foreign Merger in accordance with this Waiver,  and the pledge of 66% of the
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Newco, the Collateral Agent
may release from pledge under the Company Pledge Agreement the stock
certificates representing 66% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of Coltec International, Inc.

          7.   In order to induce the Banks to enter into this Waiver, the
Company hereby (i) makes each of the representations, warranties and agreements
contained in Section 7 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) represents and warrants
that there exists no Default or Event of Default, in each case on the Waiver
Effective Date (as defined herein) both before and after giving effect to this
Waiver.

          8.   This Waiver is limited as specified and shall not constitute a
modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of the Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document.

          9.   This Waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which
counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  A complete set of
counterparts shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent.

          10.  THIS WAIVER AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

         11.  This Waiver shall become effective on the date (the "Waiver
Effective Date") when the Company and the Required Banks shall have signed a
copy hereof (whether the same or different copies) and shall have delivered
(including by way of facsimile) the same to the Administrative Agent at the
Notice Office.

         12.   From and after the effective date of this Waiver as set forth in
Section 7 hereof, all references in the Credit Agreement and the other Credit
Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be references to such
Credit Agreement as modified hereby.


                                       -3-


          IN WITNESSES WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused a
