Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement defined below.

RECITALS:

     A. The Agent and the Lenders are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of May 16, 2002, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders.

     B. Coltec has been involved in a dispute with certain of its London market insurers with respect to the payment of claims under asbestos insurance policies written or reinsured through such London market insurers (the “LM Policies”), and Coltec desires to enter into one or more settlement agreements with such London market insurers whereby (a) Coltec shall receive catch-up payments with respect to existing asbestos insurance claims under the LM Policies, (b) additional amounts will be paid by such London market insurers into one or more trusts (collectively, the “Trust”) in settlement of the LM Policies, and (c) such amounts in the Trust will be available to Coltec for application against future asbestos related liabilities (collectively, the “Settlement Transaction”).

     C. The Agent and the Lenders are willing to consent to the Settlement Transaction, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1. Consent to Settlement. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in Section 4 hereof, and notwithstanding the terms of Section 7.28 of the Credit Agreement, the Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the Settlement Transaction in one or more transactions on substantially the terms disclosed to the Agent prior to the date hereof.

     2. Amendments to Credit Agreement.

     (a) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” and “Fixed Charges” set forth in Annex A to the Credit Agreement and replacing them with the following:

          “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, with respect to any fiscal period of Borrowers, the ratio of (i) EBITDA plus administrative expenses and defense costs relating to asbestos claims to the extent such costs and expenses are not reimbursed by insurance (or by reimbursement from any trust established from the proceeds received

 


 

from insurers with respect to the settlement of asbestos insurance obligations) and are expensed through the profit and loss statements of the Borrowers during such fiscal period to (ii) (A) Fixed Charges minus (B) the Excluded Foreign Sub Income Amount.

     “Fixed Charges” means, with respect to any fiscal period of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, without duplication, (a) interest expense, plus (b) Capital Expenditures (excluding Capital Expenditures funded with Debt other than Revolving Loans, but including, without duplication, principal payments with respect to such Debt), plus (c) scheduled principal payments of Debt, plus (d) Federal, state, local and foreign income taxes (excluding deferred taxes), plus (e) payments, administrative expenses and defense costs (net of insurance reimbursements received and reimbursements received from any trust established from the proceeds received from insurers with respect to the settlement of asbestos insurance obligations) relating to asbestos claims and litigation against any Borrower or its Subsidiaries, plus (f) all Distributions by the Parent made during such fiscal period.

     (b) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 9.1(p) and replacing it with the following:

     (p) at any time the Agent shall not have a perfected first priority security interest (acknowledged by the applicable insurance company (or, in the case of any amounts held in a trust established with the consent of the Agent and the Lenders, by the applicable trustee) pursuant to an acknowledgment in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) in at least 50% of the amounts owing to Garlock Sealing and Coltec at such time to reimburse Garlock Sealing and Coltec for payments made by Garlock Sealing and Coltec with respect to claims against Garlock Sealing and Coltec relating to Garlock Sealing’s use and distribution of products alleged to contain asbestos;

     3. Reaffirmation of Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges and affirms that all of its obligations and undertakings under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all of its obligations and undertakings under Section 13.11 and 13.19 of the Credit Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect taking into account all of the terms and conditions of this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby.

     4. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of the consent contained in Section 1 above and the amendments contained in Section 2 above is subject to, and contingent upon, the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and the Lenders, unless the same shall otherwise be waived in writing by the Agent and the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion:

     5. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, the Credit Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect and each Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all its obligations and liabilities thereunder after giving effect to this Amendment.

     6. Representations and Warranties. Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender that: (a) this Amendment and the actions on such Borrower’s part contemplated hereby have been duly approved by all requisite action on the part of such Borrower; (b) this Amendment and each of the other documents executed and delivered by such Borrower in connection herewith have been duly executed and delivered and constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, by general equitable principles or by principles of good faith and fair dealing; and (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and each of the other documents executed and delivered by such Borrower in connection herewith do not and will not violate or conflict with any provision of such Borrower’s Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws or other constitutive documents in effect on the date hereof, or any contracts or agreements to which such Borrower is a party or by which any of its assets are bound. Each Borrower further hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender that the representations and warranties of such Borrower contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof to the same extent as though made on and as of the date hereof, other than any such representation or warranty which relates to a specified prior date. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender that no Event of Default exists under any Loan Document.

     7. Miscellaneous.

          (a) This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, no Borrower may assign this Amendment or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Lenders.

          (b) This Amendment (together with the Credit Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, warranties, commitments, offers, letters of interest or intent, proposal letters, contracts, writings or other agreements or understandings with respect thereto.

          (c) No waiver and no modification or amendment of any provision of this Amendment shall be effective unless specifically made in writing and duly signed by the party to be bound thereby.

          (d) Paragraph and subparagraph titles, captions and headings herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Amendment or the intent of any provision hereof.

          (e) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any instrument executed pursuant hereto shall operate as a waiver nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

          (f) Each Borrower affirms and acknowledges that this Amendment shall be a Loan Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement.

          (g) Any reference to the Credit Agreement contained in any notice, request, certificate or other document executed concurrently with or before or after the execution and delivery of this Amendment shall be deemed to include this Amendment unless the context shall otherwise specify.

          (h) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

          (i) THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.

          (j) The Borrowers agree to pay all of the Agent’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Amendment (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel).
