<PAGE>   2
                 WHEREAS, the Selected Counsel for the Beneficiaries have been
consulted and have given their concurrence with respect to the amendment to the
Trust Agreement effectuated hereby; and

                 WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Trust and the Company have agreed
with the Legal Representative for Future Claimants appointed pursuant to an
order of the United States District Court for the Southern and Eastern
Districts of New York and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York, as amended by order dated June 18, 1993 (the "Legal
Representative") that the Trust will not agree to the termination of the Trust
pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(ii) or (v) of the Trust Agreement without prior

                 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree to amend the Trust
Agreement as follows:

                 1.       Section 6.02(a)(ii) of the Trust Agreement is hereby
amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                 "(ii)(x)  in the judgment of 80% of the Trustees after 
                 consultation with Selected Counsel for the Beneficiaries, a 
                 de minimis number of Trust Claims are then pending and new 
                 Trust Claims are being filed at a de minimis rate and (y) the 
                 Company and the Legal Representative shall have consented in 
                 writing to such dissolution;"

         2.      Section 6.02(a)(v) of the Trust Agreement is hereby amended to
read in its entirety as follows:

                 "(v)  the Company and the Trustees after consultation with 
                 Selected Counsel for the Beneficiaries and with the written 
                 consent of the Legal Representative, agree in writing to the 
                 termination of the Trust."

         3.      Except as specifically amended pursuant to Paragraphs 1 and 2
above, the Trust Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is
ratified and confirmed in all respects.

         4.      This Tenth Amendment shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such State applicable

contracts to be made and performed entirely within such State.

         5.      This Tenth Amendment  may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.  Terms not defined herein
shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings assigned to
such terms in the Trust Agreement.

         6.      The terms of this Tenth Amendment shall be effective as of the
date first above written; provided, however, that if the Dividend is not
declared by the Company and the Ninth Amendment has terminated pursuant to the
terms of that Ninth Amendment, then on the day of that termination, this Tenth
Amendment shall also terminate and be of no further force and effect and
Section 6.02(a) shall re-enter into effect as it read immediately prior to the
effectiveness of this Tenth Amendment.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, as successor to the Trustors, has
caused this Tenth Amendment to be executed by its duly authorized officer and
attested by another duly authorized officer and the Trustees of the Trust have
executed this Tenth Amendment, all as of the day and year first above written.
