                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, the Company (which was formerly known as W. R. Grace & Co.)
and the Subsidiary Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Banks and ABN AMRO Bank N.V.,
as Administrative Agent, have heretofore executed and delivered a Global

         WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Credit Agreement as
provided herein;

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the
Credit Agreement shall be and hereby is amended as follows:

         1. The first paragraph of Section 1.04(a) of the Credit Agreement,
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) thereof and Section 1.04(d) of the Credit Agreement
are hereby amended in their entirety and as so amended shall read as follows:

                  Section 1.04. Bid Loans. (a) Each Bank severally agrees that
             the Company may request Bid Borrowings denominated in Dollars
             comprised of either Absolute Rate Bid Loans or Eurodollar Rate Bid
             Loans under this Section 1.04 to be made from time to time on any
             Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the
             date occurring one day prior to the Final Maturity Date, in the
             manner set forth below; provided that, following the making of each
             Bid Borrowing, the aggregate Original Dollar Amount of all Loans
             outstanding hereunder plus the aggregate amount of all Letter of
             Credit Outstandings at such time shall not exceed the Total
             Commitment in effect at such time. Each Bid Borrowing shall be in
             an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 or an integral
             multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

                      (i) The Company may request a Bid Borrowing by delivering
                 to the Administrative Agent by telecopier or telex, a notice of
                 a Bid Borrowing (a "Notice of Bid Borrowing"), in substantially
                 the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto, specifying the date and
                 aggregate amount of the




                 proposed Bid Borrowing, whether such Bid Borrowing is to
                 consist of Absolute Rate Bid Loans or Eurodollar Rate Bid
                 Loans, the maturity date for repayment of each Bid Loan to be
                 made as part of such Bid Borrowing (which maturity date may be
                 the date occurring between one and 180 days after the date of
                 such Bid Borrowing, in the case of Absolute Rate Bid Loans, and
                 one, two, three or six months after the date of such Bid
                 Borrowing, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Bid Loans, and in any
                 case no later than the Final Maturity Date), the interest
                 payment date or dates relating thereto (which shall occur at
                 least every 3 months, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Bid Loans,
                 and at least every 90 days, in the case of Absolute Rate Bid
                 Loans), and any other terms to be applicable to such Bid
                 Borrowing, not later than 9:00 A.M. (New York time) (A) at
                 least one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Bid
                 Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Bid Loan and (B) at
                 least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Bid
                 Borrowing, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Bid Loan. The
                 Company may request Bid Borrowings for more than one maturity
                 date in a single Notice of Bid Borrowing. The Administrative
                 Agent shall in turn promptly notify each Bank of each request
                 for a Bid Borrowing received by it from the Company by sending
                 such Bank a copy of the related Notice of Bid Borrowing.

                      (ii) Each Bank may, if, in its sole discretion, it elects
                 to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or more Bid Loans to
                 the Company as part of such proposed Bid Borrowing at, in the
                 case of Absolute Rate Bid Loans, a rate or rates of interest
                 (an "Absolute Rate") or, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Bid
                 Loans, a margin (expressed as a percentage) above or below the
                 applicable Eurocurrency Rate (a "Bid Rate Margin"), in any case
                 as specified by such Bank in its sole discretion, by notifying
                 the Administrative Agent (which shall give prompt notice
                 thereof to the Company), before 9:00 A.M. (New York time) (A)
                 on the date of such proposed Bid Borrowing, in the case of an
                 Absolute Rate Bid Loan and (B) four Business Days before the
                 date of such proposed Bid Borrowing, in the case of a
                 Eurodollar Rate Bid Loan, of the minimum amount (which must be
                 at least $5,000,000) and maximum amount of each Bid Loan that
                 such Bank would be willing to make as part of such proposed Bid
                 Borrowing (which amounts may, subject to the proviso to the
                 first sentence of this Section 1.04, exceed such Bank's

                                      -2-




                 Commitment), the Absolute Rates or Bid Rate Margins, as the
                 case may be, therefor and the maturity date relating thereto,
                 provided that if the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a
                 Bank shall, in its sole discretion, elect to make any such
                 offer, it shall notify the Company of such offer before 8:45
                 A.M. (New York time) on the date on which notice of such
                 election is to be given to the Administrative Agent by the
                 other Banks. Subject to Sections 5 and 9, any offer so made
                 shall not be revocable except with the written consent of the
                 Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Company.

                      (iii) The Company may, in turn, before 10:00 A.M. (New
                 York time) (A) on the date of such proposed Bid Borrowing, in
                 the case of an Absolute Rate Bid Loan and (B) three Business
                 Days before the date of such proposed Bid Borrowing, in the
                 case of a Eurodollar Rate Bid Loan either

                      (A) cancel such Bid Borrowing by giving the Administrative
                 Agent notice to that effect,

                      (B) irrevocably accept one or more of the offers made by
                 any Bank or Banks pursuant to paragraph (ii) above, in its sole
                 discretion, subject only to the provisions of this paragraph
                 (iii), by giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the
                 amount of each Bid Loan (which amount shall be equal to or
                 greater than the minimum amount and equal to or less than the
                 maximum amount, notified to the Company by the Administrative
                 Agent on behalf of such Bank for such Bid Loan pursuant to
                 paragraph (ii) above) to be made by each Bank as part of such
                 Bid Borrowing, and reject any remaining offers with the same
                 maturity date made by Banks pursuant to paragraph (ii) above by
                 giving the Administrative Agent notice to that effect;
                 provided, however, that (x) the Company shall not accept an
                 offer made pursuant to paragraph (ii) above, at any Absolute
                 Rate or

                                      -3-




                 Bid Rate Margin, as the case may be, if the Company shall have,
                 or shall be deemed to have, rejected any other offer with the
                 same maturity date made pursuant to paragraph (ii) above, at a
                 lower Absolute Rate or Bid Rate Margin, as the case may be, (y)
                 if the Company declines to accept, or is otherwise restricted
                 by the provisions of this Agreement from accepting, the maximum
                 aggregate principal amount of Bid Borrowings offered at the
                 same Absolute Rate or Bid Rate Margin, as the case may be, with
                 the same maturity date pursuant to paragraph (ii) above, then
                 the Company shall accept a pro rata portion of each offer made
                 at such Absolute Rate or Bid Rate Margin, as the case may be,
                 with the same maturity date, based as nearly as possible on the
                 ratio of the aggregate principal amount of such offers to be
                 accepted by the Company to the maximum aggregate principal
                 amount of such offers made pursuant to paragraph (ii) above
                 (rounding up or down to the next higher or lower multiple of
                 $1,000,000), and (z) no offer made pursuant to paragraph (ii)
                 above shall be accepted unless the Bid Borrowing in respect of
                 such offer is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and the
                 aggregate amount of such offers accepted by the Company is
                 equal to at least $5,000,000, or

                      (C) reject any or all of such offers either directly by
                 written or telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent or
                 indirectly by taking no action prior to the deadline specified
                 above.

             Any offer or offers made pursuant to paragraph (ii) above not
             expressly accepted or rejected by the Company in accordance with
             this paragraph (iii) shall be deemed to have been rejected by the
             Company. Determinations by the Company of the amount of Bid Loans
             shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

                  (d) The Company shall pay interest on the unpaid principal
             amount of each Bid Loan from the date of such Bid Loan to (but not
             including) the date the principal amount of such Bid Loan is repaid
             in full, at a rate per annum equal to, in the case of an Absolute
             Rate Bid Loan, the Absolute Rate quoted by the Bank making such Bid
             Loan and, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Bid Loan, the sum of the
             applicable Eurocurrency Rate determined for such Bid Loan plus (or
             minus) the Bid Rate Margin quoted by the Bank making such Bid Loan,
             payable in arrears on the interest payment date or dates specified
             by the Company for such Bid Loan in the related Notice of Bid
             Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above.

         2. Section 1.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by:

                  (a) inserting immediately after the words "Eurocurrency Loans"
             appearing in the sixth, ninth, thirteenth, and seventeenth lines
             thereof the following ", Eurodollar Rate Bid Loans"; and

                                       -4-



                  (b) inserting immediately after the word "Borrowing" appearing
                      in the tenth line thereof the following: ", Notice of Bid
                      Borrowing."

         3. Section 6 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting
immediately following Section 6.18 a new Section 6.19 as follows:

                  Section 6.19. Year 2000 Compliance. The Company has reviewed
             the areas within its consolidated business and operations (and has
             initiated a review of suppliers, vendors and customers) that could
             be adversely affected by, and has developed and is carrying out a
             plan to address on a timely basis, the "Year 2000 Problem" (that
             is, the risk that computer applications used by the Company and its
             Subsidiaries may be unable to recognize and perform properly
             date-sensitive functions involving certain dates on or prior to,
             and any date after December 31, 1999). Based on such review and
             plan, the Company reasonably believes that the "Year 2000 Problem"
             will not have a Material Adverse Effect.

         4. The defined terms "Applicable Margin" and "Eurocurrency Rate"
contained in Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement are each hereby amended in
their entirety and as so amended shall read as follows:

             "Applicable Margin" shall mean, for any day, the rate per
             annum set forth below opposite the Applicable Rating Period then in
             effect:

                   APPLICABLE RATING
                        PERIOD                             RATE

                 Category A Period                        .220%
                 Category B Period                        .255%
                 Category C Period                        .300%
                 Category D Period                        .350%
                 Category E Period                        .475%
                 Category F Period                        .550%

                  "Eurocurrency Rate" shall mean the offered quotation to
             first-class banks in the London interbank eurocurrency market by
             ABN AMRO for deposits of amounts in Dollars or the relevant
             Eurocurrency, as appropriate, in immediately available funds
             comparable to, in the case of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, the
             principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loan of ABN AMRO for which the
             Eurocurrency Rate is being determined or, in the case of a
             Eurodollar Rate Bid Loan, the principal amount of the Bid Rate

                                      -5-



             Loan for which the Eurocurrency Rate is being determined, with
             maturities comparable to, in the case of a Borrowing of Revolving
             Loans, the Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan or,
             in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Bid Loan, the maturity date
             thereof, as of 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the date which is two
             Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period or
             the date of making such Eurodollar Bid Rate Loan, as the case may
             be.

         5. Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by
inserting in proper alphabetical order the following new defined terms:

                  "Absolute Rates" shall have the meaning provided in Section
             1.04(a).

                  "Absolute Rate Bid Loan" means a Bid Loan in connection with
             which the rates of interest offered by the Banks pursuant to
             Section 1.04 shall be Absolute Rates per annum and with a term of 1
             to 180 days.

                  "Bid Rate Margins" shall have the meaning provided in Section
             1.04(a).

                  "Eurodollar Rate Bid Loan" means a Bid Loan in connection with
             which Bid Rate Margins and the Eurocurrency Rate shall be the basis
             used by the Banks in determining the rates of interest to be
             offered by them pursuant to Section 1.04 and with a term of 1, 2, 3
             or 6 months.

         6. Exhibit A-2 to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its
entirety and as so amended shall be as set forth as Exhibit A-2 to this
Amendment.

         7. This Amendment shall become effective as of the opening of business
on March 29, 1999 subject to the conditions precedent that on or before such
date:

                  (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts
             hereof executed by the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party
             as to which an executed counterpart hereof shall not have been
             received, receipt by the Administrative Agent in form satisfactory
             to it of facsimile or other written confirmation from such party of
             execution of a counterpart hereof by such party);

                  (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) a
             certificate of the Secretary of the Company, each Domestic
             Subsidiary that is a Borrower and each Guarantor dated no more than
             10 Business Days prior to March 29, 1999 certifying that

                                      -6-



             attached thereto is a true and complete copy of resolutions adopted
             by the Board of Directors of such Borrower or Guarantor, as
             applicable, authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of
             this Amendment and certifying the names and true signatures of the
             officers of such Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, authorized
             to sign this Amendment and (ii) such supporting documents as the
             Administrative Agent may reasonably request; and

                  (c) the opinion of H. Katherine White, General Counsel to the
             Company and certain of the Borrowers and Guarantors in form and
             substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

         If this Amendment becomes effective, the changes in the Applicable
Margin shall take effect with respect to any Loans and Letters of Credit
outstanding on March 29, 1999 and on each day thereafter, but any payment of
interest or Letter of Credit Fees due on or after March 29, 1999 with respect to
Loans or Letters of Credit outstanding prior thereto shall be computed on the
basis of the Applicable Margin in effect prior to such effectiveness.

        8.1. To induce the Administrative Agent and the Banks to enter into this
Amendment, each Borrower and Guarantor represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent and the Banks that: (a) the representations and warranties
contained in the Credit Documents, as amended by this Amendment (other than
Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement), are true and correct in all material
respects as of the date hereof with the same effect as though made on the date
hereof (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which
by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and
correct in all material respects only as of such specified date); (b) after
giving effect to this Amendment, no Default exists; (c) this Amendment has been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate proceedings and duly executed and
delivered by each Borrower and each Guarantor, and the Credit Agreement, as
amended by this Amendment, and each of the other Credit Documents are the legal,
valid and binding obligations of the applicable Borrower or Guarantor,
enforceable against such Borrower or Guarantor in accordance with their
respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights or by general principles of equity; and (d) no
consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification with any
governmental authority is required for, and in the absence of which would
adversely effect, the legal and valid execution and delivery or performance by
any Borrower or any Guarantor of this Amendment or the performance by any
Borrower or any Guarantor of the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment,
or any other Credit Document to which they are party.

        8.2. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
the different parties on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall
be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute
but one and the same Amendment.

        8.3. Except as specifically provided above, the Credit Agreement and the
other Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby
ratified and confirmed in all

                                      -7-



respects. The execution, delivery, and effectiveness of this Amendment shall
not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right,
power, or remedy of the Agent or any Bank under the Credit Agreement or any of
the other Credit Documents, nor constitute a waiver or modification of any
provision of any of the other Credit Documents.

        8.4. This Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the law of
the State of New York.

                                      -8-





         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be
executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day
and year first above written.
