                              W I T N E S S E T H :

            WHEREAS, Dresser, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the "Company"), and

heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the "Indenture"),
dated as of April 10, 2001, and as amended on June 4, 2001 and June 12, 2001,
providing for the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of up to
$300,000,000 of 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "Notes");

            WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally
guarantee all of the Company's Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on
the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Guarantee"); and

            WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is
authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

            NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the
equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

            1.    CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

            2.    AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby
agrees as follows:

                  (a)   Along with all Guarantors named in the Indenture, to
                        jointly and severally Guarantee to each Holder of a Note
                        authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the
                        Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of
                        the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the
                        Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or
                        thereunder, that:
<PAGE>
                        (i)   the principal of and interest on the Notes will be
                  promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by
                  acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the
                  overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if
                  lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the
                  Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be
                  promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the
                  terms hereof and thereof; and

                        (ii)  in case of any extension of time of payment or
                  renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that
                  same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
                  accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether
                  at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing
                  payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any
                  performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors
                  shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
                  immediately.

                  (b)   The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional,
                        irrespective of the validity, regularity or
                        enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the
                        absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or
                        consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any
                        provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any
                        judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the
                        same or any other circumstance which might otherwise
                        constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of
                        a guarantor.

                  (c)   The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment,
                        demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the
                        event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any
                        right to require a proceeding first against the Company,
                        protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.

                  (d)   This Guarantee shall not be discharged except by
                        complete performance of the obligations contained in the
                        Notes and the Indenture or pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

                  (e)   If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or
                        otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors, or
                        any custodian, Trustee, liquidator or other similar
                        official acting in relation to either the Company or the
                        Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or
                        such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
                        discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and
                        effect.

                  (f)   No Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be entitled to any
                        right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in
                        respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until
                        payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.
<PAGE>
                  (g)   As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
                        Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the
                        maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
                        accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture
                        for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any
                        stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
                        acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed
                        hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of
                        acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article
                        6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due
                        and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by
                        the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee.

                  (h)   The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution
                        from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of
                        such right does not impair the rights of the Holders
                        under the Guarantee.

                  (i)   Pursuant to Section 11.03 of the Indenture, after giving
                        effect to any maximum amount and any other contingent
                        and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any
                        applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws
                        (including, without limitation, all Senior Debt of such
                        Guarantor), and after giving effect to any collections
                        from, rights to receive contribution from or payments
                        made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect
                        of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article
                        11 of the Indenture shall result in the obligations of
                        such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a
                        fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

            3.    SUBORDINATION. The Obligations of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary
under its Guarantee pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture shall be junior and
subordinated to the Senior Debt of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary on the same
basis as the Notes are junior and subordinated to the Senior Debt of the
Company. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and the Holders
shall have the right to receive and/or retain payments by such Guaranteeing
Subsidiary only at such time as they may receive and/or retain payments in
respect of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture, including Article 10 thereof.

            4.    EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees
that the Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.

            5.    Guaranteeing Subsidiary May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain
Terms.

                  (a)   No Guaranteeing Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge
                        with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the
                        surviving Person) another corporation, Person or entity
                        whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless:
<PAGE>
                        (i)   subject to Section 11.05 of the Indenture, the
                  Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
                  (if other than a Guarantor or the Company) shall be a
                  corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of
                  the United States or any state thereof or the District of
                  Columbia, and unconditionally assumes all the obligations of
                  such Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form
                  and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under
                  the Notes, the Indenture and the Guarantee on the terms set
                  forth herein or therein;

                        (ii)  immediately after giving effect to such
                  transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

                        (iii) the Company would be permitted, immediately after
                  giving effect to such transaction, to incur at least $1.00 of
                  additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness)
                  pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Indenture.

                  (b)   In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or
                        conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor
                        Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and
                        delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the
                        Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and
                        the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants
                        and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the
                        Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be
                        substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if
                        it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor
                        Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of
                        the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes
                        issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been
                        signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All
                        the Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the
                        same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the
                        Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in
                        accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all
                        of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the
                        execution hereof.

                  (c)   Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of the
                        Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses(a)(iii) above,
                        nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the
                        Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a
                        Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor,
                        or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property
                        of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an
                        entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

            6.    RELEASES. In the event of a sale or other disposition of all
of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or
a sale or other disposition of all to the capital stock of any Guarantor, then
such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger,
consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such
<PAGE>
Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor)
will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee; provided
that the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, including without
limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture. Upon delivery by the Company to the
Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Indenture, including without limitation Section
4.10 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably
required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations
under its Guarantee.

            Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee
shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the
Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as
provided in Article 11 of the Indenture.

            7.    NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future
director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of any
Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations
of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Guarantees,
the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in
respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of
the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver
and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver
may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and
it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

            8.    NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

            9.    COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of
this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of
them together represent the same instrument.

            10.   EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

            11.   THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any
manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this
Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein,
all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the
Company.

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental
Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the date first above
written.

                  Credit and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set
                  forth in Article III unless such Issuing Bank has notified the
                  U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on or
                  prior to the date for notice of termination set forth in such
                  Letter of Credit but in any event at least 30 Business Days
                  prior to the date of automatic renewal of its election not to
                  renew such Standby Letter of Credit (a "NOTICE OF
                  TERMINATION") and (B) in the case of a Trade Letter of Credit,
                  180 days after the date of issuance thereof; provided that the
                  terms of each Standby Letter of Credit that is automatically
                  renewable annually shall (x) require the Issuing Bank that
                  issued such Standby Letter of Credit to give the beneficiary
                  named in such Standby Letter of Credit notice of any Notice of
                  Termination, (y) permit such beneficiary, upon receipt of such
                  notice, to draw under such Standby Letter of Credit prior to
                  the date such Standby Letter of Credit otherwise would have
                  been automatically renewed and (z) not permit the expiration
                  date (after giving effect to any renewal) of such Standby
                  Letter of Credit in any event to be extended to a date later
                  than 5 days before the Termination Date. If either a Notice of
                  Renewal is not given by the U.S. Borrower or a Notice of
                  Termination is given by the relevant Issuing Bank pursuant to
                  the immediately preceding sentence, such Standby Letter of
                  Credit shall expire on the date on which it otherwise would
                  have been automatically renewed; provided, however, that even
                  in the absence of receipt of a Notice of Renewal the relevant
                  Issuing Bank may in its discretion, unless instructed to the
                  contrary by the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Borrower,

<PAGE>

                  deem that a Notice of Renewal had been timely delivered and in
                  such case, a Notice of Renewal shall be deemed to have been so
                  delivered for all purposes under this Agreement.
                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Letter of Credit may expire
                  after the Termination Date if on or prior to the Termination
                  Date (i) it is cash collateralized in an amount equal to (A)
                  105% of the amount of such Letter of Credit, plus (B) any
                  additional amounts owing under such Letter of Credit, (ii) a
                  "back-stop" letter of credit is issued in respect of such
                  Letter of Credit on terms and from an issuer satisfactory to
                  the Issuing Bank thereof and the Administrative Agent or (iii)
                  other arrangements are made that are satisfactory to each
                  Revolving Credit Lender, the Issuing Bank thereof and the
                  Administrative Agent. Within the limits of the Letter of
                  Credit Facility, and subject to the limits referred to above,
                  the U.S. Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of
                  Credit under this Section 2.01(f), repay any Letter of Credit
                  Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to
                  Section 2.03(c) and request the issuance of additional Letters
                  of Credit under this Section 2.01(f)."

                  (d) Section 2.02(a) is amended by deleting the proviso at the
         end thereof and replacing it with the following new proviso:

                           "provided, however, that, in the case of any
                  Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall
                  first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate
                  principal amount of any Letter of Credit Advances made by any
                  Issuing Bank and by any other Revolving Credit Lender and
                  outstanding on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing,
                  plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such
                  date, available to such Issuing Bank and such other Revolving
                  Credit Lenders for repayment of such Letter of Credit
                  Advances."

                  (e) Section 2.03 is amended in full to read as follows:

                           "SECTION 2.03. Issuance of and Drawings and
                  Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit. (a) Request for
                  Issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice,
                  given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the
                  tenth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance
                  of such Letter of Credit, by the U.S. Borrower to any Issuing
                  Bank, which shall give to the Administrative Agent and each
                  Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice thereof by telex or
                  telecopier. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit
                  (a "NOTICE OF ISSUANCE") shall be by telephone, confirmed
                  immediately in writing, or telex or telecopier, specifying
                  therein the requested (A) date of such issuance (which shall
                  be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of
                  Credit and the Applicable Letter of Credit Currency in which
                  the requested Letters of Credit is to be issued, (C)

                  address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E)

                  such application and agreement for letter of credit as such
                  Issuing Bank may specify to the U.S. Borrower for use in
                  connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a "LETTER OF
                  CREDIT AGREEMENT"). If (x) the requested form of such Letter

<PAGE>

                  Bank has not received notice of objection asserting that the
                  conditions contained in Section 3.02 have not been satisfied
                  to such issuance from Lenders holding at least a majority of
                  the Revolving Credit Commitments and (z) the issuance of the
                  requested Letter of Credit is within the limits of Section
                  2.01(f), such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the
                  applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such
                  Letter of Credit available to the U.S. Borrower at its office
                  referred to in Section 8.02 or as otherwise agreed with the
                  U.S. Borrower in connection with such issuance. In the event
                  and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit
                  Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions
                  of this Agreement shall govern.

                           (b) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall
                  furnish to the Administrative Agent (who will promptly
                  thereafter furnish to each Revolving Credit Lender) on the
                  first Business Day of each week a written report summarizing
                  issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by
                  such Issuing Bank during the previous week and drawings during
                  such week under all Letters of Credit and the average daily
                  aggregate Available Amount during the preceding week of all
                  Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

                           (c) Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by any
                  Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall
                  constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by
                  such Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall
                  be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft. Upon
                  written demand by any Issuing Bank with an outstanding Letter
                  of Credit Advance to the Administrative Agent requesting
                  reimbursement from each Revolving Credit Lender for such
                  outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, the Administrative Agent
                  shall immediately send notice of such reimbursement demand by
                  facsimile to each Revolving Credit Lender. Upon receipt of
                  such reimbursement demand from the Administrative Agent, each
                  Revolving Credit Lender shall purchase from such Issuing Bank,
                  and such Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each such
                  Revolving Credit Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such
                  outstanding Letter of Credit Advance as of the date of such
                  purchase (based, in the case of any Letter of Credit Advance
                  denominated in an Applicable Letter of Credit Currency other
                  than Dollars, on the Equivalent in Dollars at such time), by
                  making available for the account of its Applicable Lending
                  Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
                  Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent's
                  Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of
                  the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit
                  Advance to be purchased by such Revolving Credit Lender
                  (based, in the case of any Letter of Credit Advance
                  denominated in an Applicable Letter of Credit Currency other
                  than Dollars, on the Equivalent in Dollars at such time).
                  Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall
                  transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. The U.S. Borrower
                  hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment. Each Revolving
                  Credit Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an
                  outstanding Letter of Credit Advance on (i) the Business Day
                  on which demand therefor is made by the Issuing Bank which
                  made such Advance, provided that notice of such demand is
                  given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M.
                  (New York City

                  time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day
                  next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given,
                  to the Administrative Agent after such time. Upon any such
                  assignment by an Issuing Bank to any Revolving Credit Lender
                  of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance, such Issuing Bank
                  represents and warrants to such other Lender that such Issuing
                  Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being
                  assigned by it, free and clear of any liens, but makes no
                  other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility
                  with respect to such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan
                  Documents or any Loan Party. If and to the extent that any
                  Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made the amount of
                  such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative
                  Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the
                  Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together
                  with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by
                  such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the
                  Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its
                  account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable. If
                  such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount
                  for the account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such
                  amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a
                  Letter of Credit Advance made by such Lender on such Business
                  Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding
                  principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such
                  Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business
                  Day.

                           (d) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The
                  failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to
                  be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall
                  not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to
                  make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender
                  shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
                  make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other
                  Lender on such date."

                  (f) Section 2.04(e) is amended in full to read as follows:

                           "(e) Swing Line Advances. The U.S. Borrower shall
                  repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing
                  Line Bank and each other Revolving Credit Lender that has made
                  a Swing Line Advance the outstanding principal amount of each
                  Swing Line Advance made by each of them on the earlier of the
                  tenth day after the date on which such Advance was made and
                  the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Credit
                  Facility, provided, to the extent the U.S. Borrower shall not
                  have repaid such Swing Line Advance on the tenth day after the
                  date on which such Advance was made, such Swing Line Advance
                  shall automatically convert into a Revolving Credit Advance,
                  accruing interest at the Base Rate."

                  (g) Section 2.04(f) is amended in full as follows:

                           "(f) Letter of Credit Advances. (i) The U.S. Borrower
                  shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
                  each Issuing Bank and each other Revolving Credit Lender that
                  has made a Letter of Credit Advance on the earlier

                  of the tenth day after the date on which such Advance was made
                  and the Termination Date the outstanding principal amount of
                  each Letter of Credit Advance made by each of them, provided,
                  to the extent the U.S. Borrower shall not have repaid such
                  Letter of Credit Advance on the tenth day after the date on
                  which such Advance was made, such Letter of Credit Advance
                  shall automatically convert into a Revolving Credit Advance
                  (based, in the case of Letter of Credit Advance denominated in
                  an Applicable Letter of Credit Currency other than Dollars, on
                  the Equivalent in Dollars at such time), which shall be a Base
                  Rate Advance.

                           (ii) The Obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this
                  Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other
                  agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit shall
                  be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly
                  in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of
                  Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under
                  all circumstances, including, without limitation, the
                  following circumstances (it being understood that any such
                  payment by the U.S. Borrower is without prejudice to, and does
                  not constitute a waiver of, any rights the U.S. Borrower might
                  have or might acquire as a result of the payment by any
                  Issuing Bank of any draft or the reimbursement by the U.S.
                  Borrower thereof):

                           being, collectively, the "L/C RELATED Documents");

                                    (B) any change in the time, manner or place
                           of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of
                           the Obligations of the U.S. Borrower in respect of

                           waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any
                           of the L/C Related Documents;

                           defense or other right that the U.S. Borrower may
                           have at any time against any beneficiary or any

                           presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
                           forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any

                  which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers."

                  (v) Section 6.02 is amended by inserting the word "relevant"

         thereof.

                  (w) Section 7.01 is amended deleting the word "the"

                           "(b) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify
                  each Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by
                  the U.S. Borrower) from and against such Lender Party's
                  ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all
                  liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
                  judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
                  or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or
                  asserted against such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or
                  arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or
                  omitted by such Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents;
                  provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for
                  any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
                  penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
                  disbursements resulting from such Issuing Bank's gross
                  negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final,
                  non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.
                  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees
                  to reimburse such Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its
                  ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without
                  limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the U.S.
                  Borrower under Section 8.04, to the extent that such Issuing
                  Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by
                  the U.S. Borrower."

                  (y) Section 7.05(c) is amended in full to read as follows:

                           "(c) For purposes of this Section 7.05, the Lender
                  Parties' respective ratable shares of any amount shall be
                  determined, at any time, according to the sum of (i) the
                  aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding at such
                  time and owing to the respective Lender Parties, (ii) their
                  respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available Amount
                  of all Letters of Credit outstanding at

                                       17
<PAGE>

                  such time, (iii) the aggregate unused portions of their
                  respective Tranche A U.S. Term Commitments, Tranche A Euro
                  Term Commitments and Tranche B Term Commitments at such time
                  and (iv) their respective Unused Revolving Credit Commitments
                  at such time; provided that the aggregate principal amount of
                  Swing Line Advances owing to the Swing Line Bank and the
                  Letter of Credit Advances owing to any Issuing Bank shall be
                  considered to be owed to the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably
                  in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit
                  Commitments. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse any
                  Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon
                  demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid
                  by the Lender Parties to such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as
                  the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any
                  other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse
                  such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its
                  ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be
                  responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to
                  reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
                  for such other Lender Party's ratable share of such amount.
                  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
                  any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of
                  each Lender Party contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive
                  the payment in full of principal, interest and all other
                  amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents."

                  (z) Section 9.01 is amended by deleting the second to last
         proviso thereof and replacing it with the following new proviso:

                  "provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall,
                  unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Bank or each
                  Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in addition to the Lenders
                  required above to take such action, affect the rights or
                  obligations of the Swing Line Bank or of the Issuing Banks, as
                  the case may be, under this Agreement;"

                  (aa) Section 9.02 is amended by deleting the address of the
         U.S. Borrower therein and replacing it with the new address "15455
         Dallas Parkway Suite 1100, Addison, Texas 75001".

                  (bb) Section 9.07(f) is amended in full to read as follows:

                           "(f) Each Issuing Bank may assign to an Eligible
                  Assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
                  the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any
                  time; provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall
                  be to an Eligible Assignee and (ii) the parties to each such
                  assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
                  Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an
                  Assignment and Acceptance. No processing or recordation fee
                  shall be due."

                  (cc) Section 9.09 is amended in full to read as follows:

                                       18
<PAGE>

                           "SECTION 9.09. No Liability of the Issuing Banks. The
                  U.S. Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of
                  any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with
                  respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither any
                  Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be
                  liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any
                  Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary
                  or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity,
                  sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement
                  thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or
                  all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c)
                  payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents
                  that do not comply substantially with the terms of a Letter of
                  Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any
                  reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or
                  (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to
                  make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the U.S.
                  Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and
                  such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the U.S. Borrower, to the
                  extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered
                  by the U.S. Borrower that the U.S. Borrower proves were caused
                  by (i) such Issuing Bank's willful misconduct or gross
                  negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment
                  by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether
                  documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the
                  terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank's
                  willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of
                  Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and
                  certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions
                  of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
                  of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that
                  appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility
                  for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
                  information to the contrary."

                  (dd) Schedule I is amended by (i) inserting opposite of
         "Credit Suisse First Boston" under the caption "Letter of Credit
         Commitment" the amount of "US$25,000,000.00" and (ii) deleting the
         amount "US$50,000,000.00" set forth opposite "Wells Fargo Bank Texas,
         N.A." under the caption "Letter of Credit Commitment" and replacing it
         with the amount of "US$25,000,000.00".

                  (ee) The Credit Agreement is amended to add Schedule IV
         thereto which shall be as set forth in Schedule I hereto.

                  SECTION 2. Waiver. Subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof, each Lender agrees to waive
the requirements of Section 5.02(b) of the Credit Agreement solely with respect
to the letters of credit issued by Credit Suisse First Boston to the U.S.
Borrower after the Effective Date and before the date hereof and agrees to treat
each such letter of credit as a Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank under
the Credit Agreement for all purposes thereof and of the Loan Documents.

                  SECTION 3. Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall
become effective as of the date first above written when, and only when, the
Agent shall have received (i) counterparts of this Amendment executed by the
Borrowers and the Required Lenders or, as to any of the Lenders, advice
satisfactory to the Agent that such Lender has executed this

                                       19
<PAGE>

Amendment, (ii) the consent attached hereto executed by each Guarantor and each
Grantor, (iii) an amendment fee equal to 0.125% of the aggregate Commitments of
the Lenders as of the date hereof executing this Amendment on or prior to March
20, 2002 and (iv) evidence that the gross cash proceeds received by the U.S.
Borrower from the first issuance of Senior Subordinated Debt after March 1, 2002
are not less than $150,000,000 and that all Net Cash Proceeds in respect of such
issuance have been applied as a voluntary prepayment in accordance with Section
2.06(a) of the Credit Agreement to permanently reduce the Facilities (without
taking into account any portion of accrued interest with respect to such Senior
Subordinated Debt pre-funded by the holders thereof). The effectiveness of this
Amendment is conditioned upon the accuracy of the factual matters described
herein. This Amendment is subject to the provisions of Section 9.01 of the
Credit Agreement (it being understood that the provisions of this Amendment
relating to the Letter of Credit Facility shall only become effective pursuant
to this Section 3 upon the execution of this Amendment by the existing Issuing
Bank).

                  SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower.
Each Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

                  (a) On the date hereof, after giving effect to this Amendment,
         no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the
         effectiveness of this Amendment, that constitutes a Default.

                  (b) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no
         notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body
         or any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery or
         performance by the Borrowers of this Amendment or other transactions
         contemplated hereby.

                  (c) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the
         Borrowers. This Amendment and each of the other Loan Documents, as
         amended hereby, to which the Borrower is a party are legal, valid and
         binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower
         in accordance with their respective terms.

                  SECTION 5. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement and
the Notes. (a) On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference
in the Credit Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereunder", "hereof" or words of
like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the Notes
and each of the other Loan Documents to "the Credit Agreement", "thereunder",
"thereof" or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean
and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

                  (b) The Credit Agreement, the Notes and each of the other Loan
Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to
be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and
confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral
Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to
secure the payment of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan
Documents, in each case as amended by this Amendment.

                  (c) 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 any Lender or

                                       20
<PAGE>

the Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any
provision of any of the Loan Documents.

                  SECTION 6. Costs, Expenses. Each Borrower agrees to pay on
demand all costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery and administration, modification and amendment of this
Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for
the Agent) in accordance with the terms of Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement.

                  SECTION 7. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Amendment by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Amendment.

                  SECTION 8. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

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