     Re:  Amendment No. 1 to Quarterly Report
          for the Period Ended June 30, 1994
          for Lone Star Industries, Inc.

Gentlemen:

     Transmitted herewith is a copy of Form 10-Q/A-1 constituting
Amendment No. 1 to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
June 30, 1994 of Lone Star Industries, Inc. 

     The primary purpose of this Amendment is to re-transmit to the
Commission the Index of Exhibits and the Exhibits to the Form 10-Q. 
The Exhibits were previously sent to the Commission on August 15th by
EDGAR direct transmission and accepted, to be held as a segment and
to be incorporated into the Form 10-Q upon its transmittal to the
Commission.  When the Form 10-Q was received by the Commission later
on August 15th, for some reason the segment was not able to be
incorporated.

     The Amendment also makes minor changes in Note 9 of Notes to
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements although in accordance
with the Commission's Regulations the entire Item 1. Financial
Statements is restated.

                                   Sincerely yours,


                                      John S. Johnson

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position of the company as of June 30, 1994, and
the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1994,
the three months ended March 31, 1994 and the three and six months
ended June 30, 1993 and the cash flows for the three months ended June
30, 1994, the three months ended March 31, 1994 and the six months
ended June 30, 1993.  As discussed in Notes 2, 3, and 4, the company
emerged from its bankruptcy proceedings on April 14, 1994, with an
effective date for accounting purposes of March 31, 1994. 
Accordingly, the March 31, 1994 accompanying consolidated balance
sheet represents the financial position of the reorganized Lone Star
as of the effective date. The financial statements contained herein
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
related notes in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1993, and with the quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
for the quarter ended March 31, 1994.  The company's operations are
seasonal and, consequently, interim results are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.  In
addition, having operated for over three years in bankruptcy, results
of operations prior to emergence from bankruptcy are not indicative
of results of operations outside of Chapter 11 proceedings.  Also
affecting comparability are differences in the operating units of the
successor company and the predecessor company.


Note 2 - Reorganization

In November 1989, in an effort to improve the company's operating
results and to generate cash to pay maturing debt obligations, the
company implemented a restructuring program involving the sale of
certain marginal operations and facilities.  Although progress was
made in implementing the restructuring program, depressed economic
conditions and the shortage of financing available to potential buyers
during 1990 impeded the company's ability to complete the sale of all
assets within the time frame and at the values estimated in 1989.  In
addition, during the fourth quarter of 1990, the company was unable
to secure short-term borrowing arrangements, at acceptable terms and
conditions, following the termination of its revolving-credit
agreement and its agreement with financial institutions to sell trade
receivables in November 1990.  Without such financing or other sources
of cash, the company probably would have been in default under its
long-term debt agreements in the first quarter of 1991.  The company
decided to seek reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the
United States Code ("Chapter 11") to achieve a long-term solution to
its financial, litigation and business problems.  On December 10, 1990
(the "petition date"), Lone Star Industries, Inc. together with
certain of its subsidiaries (including two subsidiaries filing on
December 21, 1990) ("filed companies"), filed voluntary petitions for
reorganization under Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of New York ("Bankruptcy Court"), and
operated their respective businesses as debtors-in-possession until
April 14, 1994.

On February 17, 1994, with the approval of all voting classes of
creditors and equity holders, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the
Debtors Modified Amended Consolidated Plan of Reorganization dated
November 4, 1993 (as further modified on February 17, 1994) ("the
plan"). On April 14, 1994, (the "effective date") the plan became
effective, and distributions to creditors and shareholders commenced
(as provided by the plan, a reserve for approximately $40,000,000 in
disputed unresolved claims has been established). In accordance with
the plan, certain core cement, ready-mixed concrete and construction
aggregates operations constitute the reorganized Lone Star.  Other
non-core assets and their associated liabilities of the company
including the Nazareth, Pennsylvania cement plant, the Santa Cruz,
California cement plant and the company's interests in the RMC
LONESTAR, Hawaiian Cement and Lone Star Falcon joint ventures, certain
surplus real estate and certain litigations have been transferred to
Rosebud Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned liquidating subsidiary and its
subsidiaries (collectively "Rosebud") for disposition and distribution
of the proceeds of such dispositions, for the benefit of unsecured
creditors  (See Note 5).

The plan provides for distributions on the effective date to claims
which were allowed at that time, and for the establishment of a
reserve for certain disputed, contingent, and unliquidated claims. 
On the effective date, the escrow agent administering the reserve
received a distribution of cash and securities attributable to the
reserved claims.  On the effective date, the total amount of allowed
and reserved claims was $590,944,000, which the company expects to be
reduced to approximately $584,016,000 when all claims are paid.  On
the effective date, allowed and reserved secured claims aggregated
$435,000, allowed and reserved priority claims approximated
$5,676,000, and allowed and reserved convenience claims (under $5,000)
approximated $2,152,000.  The plan provided that these claimants are
to receive full payment in cash. The plan also provided for allowed
and reserved unsecured claims of $575,753,000, to receive their pro
rata share of (i) $192,188,000 in cash, (ii) $78,000,000 ten year 10%
senior unsecured notes of the reorganized company, (The company's
March 31, 1994 balance sheet includes accrued interest of $1,300,000
for the period from February 1, 1994 through March 31, 1994 per the
terms of the senior unsecured notes indenture), (iii) $138,118,000
secured asset proceeds notes of Rosebud, to be paid out of the
proceeds from the disposition of its assets (See Note 5) and (iv)
85.0% of the common stock of reorganized Lone Star.  The aggregate
recovery on unsecured claims will depend on the ultimate value of the
common stock, the senior unsecured notes, and the secured asset
proceeds notes (the value of the secured asset proceeds notes will
reflect the sums realized from the disposition of assets and
litigation recoveries of Rosebud).

Holders of the company's cumulative convertible preferred stock
received a pro rata share of 10.5% of the common stock of reorganized
Lone Star and 1,250,000 warrants to purchase common stock of the
reorganized Lone Star. The holders of common stock of Lone Star
received the balance of reorganized Lone Star's common equity and
2,753,333 warrants to purchase common stock in the reorganized Lone
Star.  The warrants are exercisable through December 31, 2000, and
each warrant provides for the purchase of one share of the common
stock of reorganized Lone Star at a price of $18.75 per share.

In addition, in accordance with the plan, as part of the agreement
with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") the company
granted the PBGC a mortgage on the Oglesby, Illinois plant, and a
security interest in the Kosmos Cement Company partnership, to secure
certain contingent future pension obligations.


Note 3 - Basis of Presentation

As of the effective date of the plan, the sum of allowed claims plus
post-petition liabilities of the company exceeded the value of its
preconfirmation assets.  In addition, the company experienced a change
in control as pre-reorganization equity holders received less than 50%
of the reorganized Lone Star common stock issued pursuant to the plan. 
Therefore, in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position No. 90-7,
"Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the
Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP No. 90-7"), the company has adopted "fresh-
start" reporting which assumes that a new reporting entity has been
created and require assets and liabilities be adjusted to their fair
values as of the effective date.  

Although the plan became effective on April 14, 1994, for accounting
purposes the effective date of the plan is considered to be March 31,
1994, and accordingly, the company has adopted fresh-start reporting
as of March 31, 1994.  Adjustments were recorded as of March 31, 1994
to reflect the effects of the consummation of the plan and to reflect
the implementation of fresh-start reporting.  The reorganization value
of the company was determined using several factors and by reliance
on various valuation methods, including discounted cash flows,
price/earnings ratios and other applicable ratios.  Reorganization
value generally approximates fair value of the entity before
considering liabilities and approximates the amount a buyer would pay
for the assets of the entity after the reorganization.  Based on
information from parties in interest and from Lone Star's financial
advisors, the total reorganization value of the Company was
$579,411,000.  The reorganization value was then allocated to the
company's assets and liabilities in conformity with the Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations" ("APB No.
16"), as specified by SOP No. 90-7.  Income related to the settlement
of liabilities subject to the company's Chapter 11 proceedings is
included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as
an extraordinary gain on discharge of prepetition liabilities.  The
gains or losses related to the adjustments of assets and liabilities
to fair value are included in reorganization items in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations (See Note 10). The reorganization
value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets is the
portion of the reorganization value of the company which was not
attributed to specific tangible or identified intangible assets of the
company.

Total equity of reorganized Lone Star under fresh-start reporting at
March 31, 1994 was less than total equity included in the plan.  This
is due to the different discount rates used to value the company's
liability for postretirement benefits other than pensions, in the plan
and under generally accepted accounting principles. 

Note 4 - Adjustments to Record Effects of Plan of Reorganization

The effect of the plan and the company's adoption of fresh-start
reporting on its March 31, 1994 balance sheet are as follows:

The company's emergence from its Chapter 11 proceedings resulted in
a new reporting entity with no retained earnings or accumulated
deficit as of March 31, 1994.  Accordingly, the company's consolidated
financial statements for periods prior to March 31, 1994 are not
comparable to consolidated financial statements presented on or
subsequent to March 31, 1994.  A black line has been drawn on the
accompanying consolidated financial statements to distinguish between
the pre-reorganization and post-reorganization company.


Pro Forma Information

The following pro forma condensed financial information of the company
and its subsidiaries illustrates the estimated financial effects of
the implementation of the company's plan of reorganization (which
resulted in the end of the company's 1989 Restructuring Program) and
its adoption of fresh-start reporting. Pro forma statement of
operations data for the three months ended March 31, 1994 have been
presented as if the company had emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings and adopted fresh-start reporting as of January 1, 1994.
The pro forma data is unaudited.

The above pro forma condensed financial information includes estimated
adjustments for the following items:

As a result of the implementation of the plan and adoption of fresh-
start reporting the company's 1989 restructuring program ended
effective as of the effective date of the plan.  Operating results of
the cement plants at Pryor, Oklahoma and Maryneal, Texas, which were
formerly included in assets held for sale are included in the pro
forma consolidated operating results for the three months ended March
31, 1994 (See Note 11).

The operating results of the assets which were transferred to a
liquidating subsidiary for distribution for the benefit of unsecured
creditors, have been eliminated from the pro forma statement of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994.

In connection with the adjustment of the March 31, 1994 property,
plant and equipment balances to reflect the estimated values of the
assets under fresh-start reporting, the pro forma consolidated
operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1994 have been
adjusted to include the estimated change in depreciation expense
related to the new values.  

Interest expense related to long-term debt, including the senior
unsecured notes of the reorganized company has been included in the
pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1994.

The provision for preferred dividends for the three months ended March
31, 1994 has been eliminated from the statement of operations as
common and preferred shareholders' equity of the old company has been
eliminated and replaced with common equity of the new company as of
March 31, 1994.

All Chapter 11 reorganization items included in the statement of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994 have been
eliminated.

The extraordinary gain on discharge of prepetition liabilities has
been eliminated. 

The pro forma statement of operations has been adjusted to reflect the
reduction in expenses resulting from settlements, including
settlements reached with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and
retirees in accordance with the requirements of fresh-start reporting.

Cost of sales has been adjusted to reflect the company's change in its
method of accounting for inventory for interim reporting purposes and
the expensing of $8.4 million of deferred costs in accordance with the
adoption of fresh-start reporting. (See Note 15).  In addition, cost
of sales has been adjusted to reflect $1.5 million of costs related
to its construction aggregates barges which were deferred during the
first quarter of 1994 and subsequently written-off in accordance with
fresh-start reporting.  Similar costs will be incurred and expensed
in future years.

The following pro forma condensed financial information for the six
months ended June 30, 1994 illustrates the estimated operating results
as if the company had emerged from its Chapter 11 proceedings and
adopted a fresh-start reporting as of January 1, 1994 by combining the
proforma results for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and the
actual results for the three months ended June 30, 1994.  Because of
the seasonality of the company's business, interim results are not
necessarily indicative of full year results.

Note 5 - Rosebud Holdings, Inc. Liquidating Subsidiary

As part of the plan, Lone Star transferred on April 14, 1994 certain
non-core assets and their related liabilities to Rosebud Holdings,
Inc., a wholly-owned liquidating subsidiary, and its subsidiaries
(collectively "Rosebud").  The assets transferred consist of the
company's interests in the RMC LONESTAR, Lonestar Falcon and Hawaiian
Cement partnerships, cement plants located in Santa Cruz, California,
and Nazareth, Pennsylvania, certain promissory notes executed by RMC
LONESTAR, certain surplus real estate, the company's interest in any
recovery resulting from the litigation against Northeast Cement
Company and its affiliates, Lafarge Corporation, and Lafarge Canada,
Inc., certain other miscellaneous assets including a note receivable
and certain litigation and insurance claims, and a $5,000,000 cash
investment by the company to be used for working capital purposes. 
The company is under no obligation to fund additional Rosebud working
capital requirements. 

It was estimated by the company in connection with the plan that
disposition of the non-core assets would generate, over time, gross
proceeds of approximately $113,000,000 to $170,000,000.  Lone Star's
investment in Rosebud is included in Lone Star's June 30, 1994 fresh-
start balance sheet at $116,000,000, which is the present value of
estimated net proceeds generated by the sale of assets and collection
of insurance claims and cash generated from operations, and was
determined by using the middle of the range of the proceeds contained
in the plan, discounted at 14%, plus cash, marketable securities and
escrow deposits at June 30, 1994.  The increase of $4.0 million from
March 31, 1994 is primarily due to the accretion of assets reflecting
the shorter time period used in determining the present value.  Other
than litigation against certain insurance companies, this amount does
not include any amount for potential recovery from any litigation
including the Northeast Cement Company litigation (See Note 19).

At the effective date of the plan, Rosebud issued asset proceeds notes
in the aggregate principal amount of $138,118,000.  The asset proceeds
notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable in cash or in
additional asset proceeds notes, in semi-annual installments.  The
asset proceeds notes are to be repaid as Rosebud's assets are disposed
of and proceeds, if any, are received in connection with the
litigation transferred to Rosebud.  All net cash proceeds less a
$5,000,000 cash reserve are to be deposited in a cash collateral
account for distribution to the noteholders.  The asset proceeds notes
mature on July 31, 1997.  These notes are guaranteed, in part, by Lone
Star.  In the event that, at the maturity date, the aggregate amounts
of all cash payments of principal and interest on the asset proceeds
notes is less than $88,118,000, the guarantee is payable in either
cash, notes or a combination thereof to cover the shortfall between
the actual payments and $88,118,000 dollar for dollar plus interest
provided however that the amount paid pursuant to the guarantee cannot
exceed $28,000,000.  The asset proceeds notes are recorded on Lone
Star's June 30, 1994 balance sheet at an amount equal to the
investment in Rosebud of $116,000,000.

In June 1994, a subsidiary of Rosebud sold all of its interest in a
cement plant located in Santa Cruz, California for $33,063,000.  The
net proceeds from the sale, after making provisions for an
environmental reserve for landfill and other costs related to the
transaction, are being used to redeem a portion of the outstanding
asset proceeds notes on a pro rata basis and to pay interest on the
redeemed notes through the date of redemption.  $31,719,000 has been
transferred to the collateral agent who will make payments to note
holders on August 19, 1994.

In addition, in July 1994, Rosebud reached final agreements with all
but one insurance carrier involved in litigation related to the
reimbursement of defense costs.  Rosebud will receive $5,300,000 from
the insurance carriers involved in the settlements.


Note 6 - Production Payment

As part of the plan, the company's production payment agreement terms
were revised as of April 14, 1994.  In connection therewith, a new
note was issued, with an outstanding principal balance of $20,963,000
as of that date, and which bears interest at the company's option at
a rate of either prime or LIBOR plus 1.75% through December 31, 1995
and either prime plus .25% or LIBOR plus 2.5% beginning on January 1,
1996.  The principal balance is payable semi-annually through July 31,
1998 in increasing installments.


Note 7 - Revolving Credit Line

Upon emergence from Chapter 11, the company entered into a three year
$35,000,000 revolving credit agreement which is collateralized by
inventory, receivables, collection proceeds and certain intangible
assets.  The company's borrowings under this agreement are limited to
55% of eligible inventory plus 85% of eligible receivables.  Advances
under the agreement bear interest at a rate of either prime plus 1.25%
or LIBOR plus 3%.  A fee of .50% per annum is charged on the unused
portion of the credit line.  There was no outstanding balance at June
30, 1994.

The company's financing agreements contain restrictive covenants
which, among other things, restrict the payment of cash dividends.

Note 8 - Senior Unsecured Notes

Upon emergence from its Chapter 11 proceedings, the company issued
$78,000,000 of ten year senior unsecured notes.  The notes bear
interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually.

Note 9 - Stock Options

Upon emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, the board of directors of
the company adopted the Lone Star Management Stock Option Plan
("Management Plan") and the Lone Star Industries, Inc.  Directors'
Stock Option Plan ("Directors' Plan).  Both plans were ratified by the
company's shareholders at the 1994 Annual Meeting.  Total options
authorized for grant are 700,000 and 50,000 under the Management and
the Directors' Plans, respectively.  In June 1994, options to purchase
common stock for 700,000 shares at an exercise price of $15.375 and 6,000
shares at an exercise price of $15.6875 were granted under the
Management and Directors' Plans, respectively.


Note 10 - Reorganization Items

The effects of transactions occurring as a result of the Chapter 11
filings have been segregated from ordinary operations in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Such items for
the three months ended March 31, 1994 and the three and six months

Note 11 - Restructuring Program

In November 1989, the Lone Star Board of Directors approved a
restructuring program which included the proposed sale of certain
facilities and marginal businesses, interests in certain joint
ventures, an investment in preferred stock, surplus real estate, and
certain other assets.  The assets held for sale, including related
current and other assets, were classified as assets held for sale in
the accompanying consolidated December 31, 1993 balance sheet at their
estimated net realizable values.  As a result of the effectiveness of
the company's plan of reorganization, certain assets included in the
restructuring program have been transferred to Rosebud to be sold with
the proceeds to be used to pay off the asset proceeds notes, and other
assets are being retained by the company.

In accordance with the plan, the company will retain the Pryor,
Oklahoma and Maryneal, Texas cement plants.  The results from the
operations which the company is retaining, but which were previously
classified as assets held for sale, consist of net sales of
$14,030,000, $16,831,000 and $28,060,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1994 and the three and six months ended June 30, 1993,
respectively and pre-tax income of $1,278,000, $1,799,000 and
$2,999,000, the three months ended March 31, 1994 and the three and
six months ended June 30, 1993, respectively.


Note 12 - Kosmos Cement Company

Summarized financial information of Kosmos Cement Company, a 25% owned
partnership which produces and sells cement in Kentucky and
Pennsylvania, for the three months ended June 30, 1994 and March 31,

In the first quarter of 1993, the Kosmos Cement Company partnership
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
Pensions".  As a result, the company recognized a charge of $782,000
representing its share of the partnership's cumulative effect of the
change in accounting principles.


Note 13 - Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include the company's marketable securities which are
comprised of short-term, highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less.  Interest paid during the three
months ended June 30, 1994, the three months ended March 31, 1994, and
the three and six months ended June 30, 1993 was $57,000, $20,000,
$31,000 and $63,000, respectively.  Income taxes paid during the three
months ended June 30, 1994, the three months ended March 31, 1994 and
the three and six months ended June 30, 1993 were $57,000, $756,000,
$51,000, and $77,000, respectively.


Note 14 - Interest

Interest expense of $2,259,000, $271,000, $482,000, and $1,001,000 has
been accrued for the three months ended June 30, 1994, the three
months ended March 31, 1994 and the three and six months ended June
30, 1993 respectively. Interest capitalized during the three months
ended June 30, 1994, the three months ended March 31, 1994 and the
three and six months ended June 30, 1993 was $40,000, $38,000, $54,000
and $100,000, respectively.

The filed companies stopped accruing interest on all of their
unsecured debt as of the petition date.  The amount not accrued for
the three months ended March 31, 1994 and the three and six months
ended June 30, 1993 was $7,398,000, $7,427,000 and $14,853,000
respectively.


Note 15 - Inventories

Effective April 1, 1994, the company adopted, on a prospective basis,
a change in the method of accounting for inventory for interim
reporting purposes.  Under the previous method, planned capacity
variances were deferred in periods of low production and absorbed
later in the year.  Under the new method, the expense resulting from
capacity variances will be recognized as incurred.  Fresh-start
adjustments recorded as of March 31, 1994 included the write-off of
$8,391,000 of deferred costs related to operations included in
predecessor company results.


Note 16 - Earnings Per Share

Due to the company having common stock equivalents in excess of 20%
of the number of shares of outstanding common stock, primary and fully
diluted earnings per share of the successor company are calculated
using the modified treasury stock method in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share", and are based
on adjusted weighted average shares outstanding of 13,774,000 and
adjusted net income of $8,585,000.


Note 17 - Sale of Florida Cement Plant

In June 1994, the company sold its interest in a cement plant located
in Florida for $21,750,000.  The company did not recognize any gain
or loss on the transaction.


Note 18 - Environmental Matters

The company is subject to federal, state and local laws, regulations
and ordinances pertaining to the quality and the protection of the
environment.  Such environmental regulations not only affect the
company's operating facilities but also apply to closed facilities and
previously owned and operated properties.

While it is not possible to predict with accuracy the range of future
costs for the company's program of compliance with current or future
environmental regulations or their expected impact on the company, the
capital, operating and other costs of the program could be
substantial.

In order to save on fuel costs, the company is blending and burning
hazardous waste fuels at two of its cement manufacturing plants.  This
process involves obtaining permits and complying with applicable state
and federal environmental regulations.  While the company believes it
is in substantial compliance with such regulations, changes in them
or in their interpretation by the relevant agencies or courts could
limit, effectively prohibit the use of, or make prohibitive the cost
of using, hazardous waste fuels, thus depriving the company of the
economic benefits of its waste fuel program.  In February 1994, the
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
(i) vacated and remanded a facility-specific standard promulgated by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("U.S. EPA") for ascertaining
the presence of products of incomplete combustion designed for wet
process cement kilns that burn hazardous waste fuels, ruling that the
standard had been promulgated without sufficient notice, but (ii)
upheld related standards applicable to the industry.  In April 1994,
the Circuit Court denied plaintiffs' motion to reconsider its
decision.  Unless the Circuit Court's decision (from which a petition
for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court has been filed) is reversed
or a modification of the remanded standard is adopted by U.S. EPA, or
the company can institute operational changes which will enable it to
meet the industry standards upheld by the Circuit Court, the company's
Greencastle, Indiana cement plant may have to cease or curtail its use
of hazardous waste fuels.  Meanwhile, the Circuit Court's ruling is
stayed pending the Supreme Court's decision on plaintiffs' petition
for certiorari, and the company is investigating modifications to
operations at this plant that would enable it to continue to burn
hazardous waste fuels under the surviving standards. The Circuit
Court's ruling has no impact upon the current use of hazardous waste
fuels at the company's Cape Girardeau, Missouri cement plant.

Since 1991, federal and state environmental agencies have conducted
inspections and instituted inquiries and administrative actions
regarding waste fuel operations at both of the company's waste fuel
burning facilities. In the first half of 1994 the company paid amounts
totalling approximately $402,000 representing negotiated settlements
with federal and state environmental authorities of administrative
actions that alleged violations of regulations pertaining to the
handling and burning of hazardous waste fuels at the Greencastle
plant. In March 1994, U.S. EPA, Region 7, instituted an administrative
proceeding regarding waste fuel operations at the company's Cape
Girardeau plant, seeking over $500,000 in civil penalties.  The
company is holding settlement negotiations with officials of Region
7.

Cement kiln dust, ("CKD") a by-product of cement manufacturing, is
currently exempted from environmental regulation by the Bevill
Amendment to the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
pending the completion of a Congressionally-mandated study and
regulatory determination by U.S. EPA regarding the need for regulatory
controls on the management, handling and disposal of cement kiln dust. 
The regulatory determination is scheduled to be made in January 1995. 
It is impossible at this time to predict with accuracy what increased
costs (or range of costs), if any, changes in regulatory control of
CKD would impose on the company.

The company and certain of its subsidiaries have been identified as
parties that may be held responsible by various federal, state and
local authorities with respect to contamination at certain sites of
former operations or sites where waste materials from the company or
its subsidiaries, such as equipment containing polychlorinated
biphenyls, were deposited, including sites placed on the National
Priority List ("NPL") pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA").  These include
sites located: in Utah (seven sites, including three NPL sites
discussed below); Illinois (one NPL site); Texas (two sites, including
one NPL site); Missouri (one NPL site); Washington (two NPL sites);
Minnesota (two NPL sites); Colorado (one NPL site); Florida (four
sites, including two related NPL sites and two non-NPL sites described
below); California (one non-NPL site described below); Pennsylvania
(one NPL site); and Louisiana (one NPL site).

Except for the Utah NPL sites described below, all of the NPL sites
referred to above involve numerous potentially responsible parties
("PRP's") and factual investigation indicates that in each case the
company's or subsidiary's contributions of waste were small in
comparison to those of other PRP's.  Except for the Utah sites, no
timely proofs of claim were filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the
environmental regulatory agencies with respect to NPL sites, none of
which are currently owned or leased by the company or its
subsidiaries.  However, a number of PRP's filed timely proofs of claim
with the Bankruptcy Court with respect to various NPL sites; these
claims have either been (i) allowed in full as de minimis, (ii)
resolved through negotiation and allowed as general unsecured claims,
or (iii) objected to and disallowed in the company's Chapter 11
proceedings.

Following are descriptions of proceedings involving certain NPL and
non-NPL sites mentioned above:

In July 1989, the company was advised by U.S. EPA, Region 8 that it
was a PRP under CERCLA with respect to three adjoining sites in Salt
Lake City, Utah on which CKD and small amounts of chrome-containing
kiln brick from the company's Utah cement plant had been deposited. 
In July 1990, the U.S. EPA and the Utah Department of Health issued
a record of decision selecting a remedial action calling for removal
of the CKD, over a period of time, to a location to be selected in the
Salt Lake City vicinity where an industrial type landfill would be
constructed.  The company has reached an agreement with the U.S.
Department of Justice, U.S. EPA, the U.S. Department of the Interior,
the Utah Department of Environmental Quality and Davis County, Utah
regarding a settlement pursuant to which among other things, U.S. EPA
will receive a general unsecured claim in the company's bankruptcy
proceedings in exchange for releases from further liability for
investigation and clean-up costs and natural resource damage claims
and protection against third-party claims for investigation and clean-
up costs.  The agreement has been executed by the company and by the
respective governmental agencies and is subject to a CERCLA-mandated
public notice and comment period and approval by the company and the
Bankruptcy Court.

In October 1989, the company commenced an action in United States
District Court in Utah seeking contribution from the two principal
owners of these Utah NPL sites, who had also been named PRP's, for
their share of investigative clean-up costs.  Following pre-trial
litigation, settlement agreements with the landowners were negotiated
and approved by the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to which the landowners
receive general unsecured claims in the company's bankruptcy
proceedings and all their claims against the company were dismissed
with prejudice, subject to the landowners' reaching settlements with
U.S. EPA, the negotiation of which is continuing.

In a transaction in the early 1970's, the company acquired
subsidiaries that conducted woodtreating or wood-dipping operations
at two sites in Florida.  Contamination from chemicals at these non-
NPL sites has been the subject of various proceedings by federal,
state or local environmental authorities, as well as lawsuits
involving private parties.

In 1992, pursuant to an Administrative Order on Consent with U.S. EPA,
Region 4, entered into prior to the company's Chapter 11 filing,  a
clean up of soils and water in excavated areas at the Dania, Florida
site was completed by a subsidiary of the company and approved by U.S.
EPA in 1992.  The subsidiary has entered into a stipulation approved
by the Bankruptcy Court, with the State of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection ("FDEP") (which filed a claim in the
company's bankruptcy proceedings) committing to undertake a
groundwater monitoring program and, if necessary, groundwater
treatment in settlement of the State's proof of claim it filed in the
bankruptcy proceedings.  The subsidiary is currently negotiating a
consent order with FDEP setting forth the monitoring and possible
remediation efforts in detail.  This site has been transferred to
Rosebud pursuant to the plan.

In 1992, pursuant to a stipulation in Florida state court, executed
prior to its Chapter 11 filing, a subsidiary of the company completed
the clean-up of soils under Florida environmental regulations at a
site in Dade County, Florida which it had leased for woodtreating
operations in the 1960's and 1970's.  In settlement of the proofs of
claim filed in the company's bankruptcy proceedings, the subsidiary
has executed a stipulation with state and county environmental
authorities regarding entry into a consent order whereby the
subsidiary has committed to undertake further groundwater
investigation of the site and, if necessary, soil remediation,
groundwater treatment and groundwater monitoring programs all within
a specified monetary cap.

Prior to its Chapter 11 filing, the subsidiary filed a lawsuit in
federal district court in Florida against other PRP's, including past
and present owners of the site, for cost recovery and contribution
under CERCLA.  Two of the PRP's filed counterclaims and proofs of
claim in the bankruptcy proceedings.  The subsidiary has entered into
a settlement agreement, approved by the Bankruptcy Court, with the
PRP's pursuant to which they will reimburse the subsidiary for a
portion of its clean-up costs and dismiss their federal and state
court and claims filed in the bankruptcy proceedings, with prejudice
and the subsidiary will dismiss its court claims against them with
prejudice, while committing to undertake the further investigation
and, if necessary, remedial work under the Bankruptcy Court
stipulation with state and county environmental authorities described
above.

In August 1992, Santa Cruz County, California authorities served the
company with written notice that it had commenced a criminal and civil
investigation of long-term waste disposal practices at a site formerly
owned by the company and now owned by a partnership in which a
subsidiary of Rosebud holds a partnership interest. The investigation
and negotiations by the company and others with interests in the site
culminated in the resolution of the matter by the concurrent filing
of a complaint and stipulated final judgment.  Pursuant to the
settlement, certain county and state authorities received an
administrative priority claim in the company's bankruptcy proceedings
totaling $150,000 and all claims raised in the complaint were released
and dismissed.  Rosebud Holdings, Inc. has also committed to complete
and is presently undertaking the closure of a former waste landfill
area on the investigated site at an anticipated cost of approximately
$1,200,000, which is for the account of the Rosebud subsidiary.  The
closure work is not expected to commence until 1995.


Note 19 - Litigation 

Between 1983 and 1989 a Lone Star subsidiary (among those who filed
Chapter 11 petitions) manufactured and sold approximately 500,000
concrete railroad crossties to various railroads.  In 1989 and early
1990 purchasers of most of the crossties sued Lone Star and such
subsidiary, alleging that the crossties were defective because of
cracking, and seeking substantial compensatory and punitive damages. 
The suits by four purchasers, which sought damages of over
$200,000,000 were consolidated for pre-trial purposes in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Maryland under the Federal Courts
Multi-District Rules. In addition, an administrative proceeding was
brought by the Baltimore Mass Transit Authority ("MTA"), involving
crossties sold to the MTA, and an MTA procurement officer found Lone
Star and its subsidiary liable to the MTA for damages in an amount of
approximately $10,000,000.

Lone Star determined that it would be in the best interest of the
company to settle the proceedings brought by the railroads, and in
late 1992 Lone Star entered into separate agreements with each of the
four purchasers providing for the release of their respective claims
against the company and its subsidiaries relating to the crossties,
and for the railroads to receive in the aggregate allowed liquidated
unsecured claims in its bankruptcy proceedings of $57,200,000, for one
railroad to receive a cash payment of $5,000,000 and for the payment
of $4,384,000 to another railroad from an escrow fund established to
hold the proceeds from the sale of property by a Lone Star subsidiary
on which that railroad had obtained liens in the litigation.  These
agreements have been approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and the
$9,384,000 cash payments have been made.  The claims were treated in
accordance with the provisions of the company's plan.

In 1989 Lone Star and its subsidiary filed a plenary action in the
Maryland Federal District Court, and third party complaints in other
actions, against Northeast Cement Co. and its affiliates, Lafarge
Corporation and Lafarge Canada, Inc. ("Lafarge"), alleging breach of
warranties in connection with the purchase from Northeast Cement Co.
by Lone Star's subsidiary of the cement used to manufacture
substantially all of the crossties involved in the above proceedings
and claiming a fraudulent sale of defective cement.  The plenary
action and the third party complaints sought compensatory damages
growing out of the various crosstie actions, including the foregoing
settlements and defense costs at approximately $15,750,000.  The
plenary  action brought against the cement supplier was tried before
a jury in the Maryland Federal District Court in late 1992.  The jury
found that Lone Star had proven its claims of fraud, breach of certain
warranties and negligence, but Lone Star's recovery was limited to
$1,213,000 for direct lost profits due to limitations on the awarding
of damages in the trial judge's instructions to the jury.  Lone Star
believed that these instructions were in error and filed a motion for
a new trial on damages based on the judge's refusal to permit the jury
to even consider certain damages.  Lafarge also moved for judgment as
a matter of law and for a new trial.  Following a hearing on March 5,
1993 the judge denied these motions.  Lone Star consequently appealed
to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit for a
new trial on the issue of damages.  Lafarge also filed an appeal. On
April 7, 1994 the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the judgment
of the District Court and remanded the case for a new trial on all
issues relating to both liability and damages and permitted the
company to amend its complaint to add a claim of violation of a
Massachusetts consumer protection law which allows for attorney fees
and doubling and trebling of damages.  A request by Lafarge for a
rehearing of that decision by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals en
banc was denied and new trial is scheduled for October of this year. 
The rights to any recovery of damages in this action have been
assigned to Rosebud pursuant to the plan.

The primary insurance carrier insuring the company has asserted that
Lone Star has only limited insurance coverage for the various crosstie
claims and, while agreeing that certain defense costs are covered by
insurance, did not agree to Lone Star's position as to the amount of
defense costs covered.  Consequently, in 1989 Lone Star began an
action in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware against the
insurance companies (both primary and excess carriers) which insured
it during the 1983 to 1989 period, seeking a declaratory judgment as
to their duty under the applicable policies to indemnify Lone Star for
all damages incurred by it in the various crosstie proceedings which
includes the settlements of $66,584,000 and as to the duty of the
primary insurance carrier to pay the costs of defending those
proceedings.  The Superior Court made a preliminary ruling that the
primary insurance carrier has a duty to pay certain of the costs of
the company's defense in the crosstie proceedings. With the approval
of the Bankruptcy Court, Lone Star settled its claims against the
primary insurance carrier for defense costs for payments to Lone Star
of $14,733,000 in cash; and setoffs to the carrier's claim in the
bankruptcy of approximately $4,778,000.

Lone Star, with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, settled its
indemnity action against the primary insurance carrier in March 1994
for $6,500,000 as a set-off to a claim filed in the company's
bankruptcy proceedings by that carrier.  The rights to any additional
recoveries from insurance carriers has been assigned to Rosebud
pursuant to the plan.  Rosebud and certain of the remaining insurance
carriers have negotiated a settlement of the indemnity action which
provides for payments to Rosebud of $5,300,000. Pre-trial preparation
in the action was stayed by agreement of the parties during these
negotiations.  Rosebud is in the process of continuing the indemnity
action against any insurance carriers as to which no settlement has
been reached and will also seek to recover the costs of the Lafarge
action.

In addition, a settlement with all parties has been reached in the
consolidated shareholders' class action lawsuits brought against the
company and certain of its past and present officers and directors. 
The settlement involves the actions entitled Cohn v. Lone Star
Industries, Inc., et al. filed in November 1989 on behalf of persons
who purchased Lone Star common stock between February 8, 1988 and
November 16, 1989 and the action entitled Garbarino, et ano. v.
Stewart, et al. filed in December 1990 on behalf of persons who
purchased Lone Star common stock between November 16, 1989 and
December 9, 1990.  The settlements were adopted and approved by an
order and final judgment of a magistrate judge and the order and
judgment was in turn approved and adopted by an order of the U.S.
District Court for the District of Connecticut on January 20, 1994.

The terms of the settlement agreement, which was entered into by Mr.
James E. Stewart, the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Lone Star, includes the dismissal of the claims against Mr. Stewart
and the officers and directors of Lone Star and the agreement of Lone
Star's directors and officers liability insurers to pay $40,000,000
to establish settlement funds on behalf of the plaintiff classes.  In
order to participate in these settlement funds, eligible plaintiffs
were required to submit a proof of claim by July 29, 1994. 
Distribution from these settlement funds is to take place on or about
October 29, 1994.  Lone Star was dismissed without prejudice from the
Cohn action, the only action in which it was named as a defendant by
the plaintiffs.  The settlement does not constitute an admission by
Lone Star, or any of its past and present officers, directors and
employees of any liability or wrongdoing on their part. In connection
with the company's bankruptcy proceedings, in order to resolve the
claims filed by both plaintiff classes without admitting any
liability, a claim in the aggregate of $2,500,000 was allowed to the
plaintiff classes by the company.  The proceeds from the claim have
been added to the settlement funds for distribution in October 1994. 

The company, along with numerous other parties, has been named a
defendant in a series of toxic tort lawsuits filed in a Texas state
court commencing in March, 1994 in which multiple plaintiffs claim to
have suffered injury from the proximity of deposits of toxic wastes
or substances at a site located near  Galveston, Texas.  The wastes
or substances are alleged to have been deposited at the site starting
in the 1940's.  The company has retained Texas counsel and has filed,
or is in the process of filing, answers denying the allegations of the
various complaints.  The company intends to contest these lawsuits
vigorously.  The company's insurance carriers have been notified of
the claims but the extent of the company's insurance coverage, if any,
for these lawsuits has not yet been determined.

                  CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION OF
                      AMENDED AND RESTATED
                  CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
                               OF
                   LONE STAR INDUSTRIES, INC.
          LONE STAR INDUSTRIES, INC., a corporation
organized and

originally

The date
of the filing of the original Certificate of Incorporation
of the
Corporation with the Secretary of State of the State of

of stockholders in 1994, the successors to the class of
directors
whose term expires at that time shall be elected to hold
office for
a term of three (3) years, and until their respective
successors shall
be elected and qualified, to succeed those directors whose
term
expires, so that the term of one class of directors will
expire each
year.
          The authority for the making of this Certificate
of
Correction of the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation
is contained in a court order described in Section 303(c) of
the
Delaware General Corporation Law.
          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate of Correction
of the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been
executed
and attested by the corporation's duly authorized officers
this 29th
day of April, 1994.

the
adjournment is taken unless the adjournment is for more than
30 days
or a new record date is fixed for the meeting.
          Section 6.  Organization. At each meeting of the
stockholders, the Chairman of the Board, or if he or she is

chosen, shall act as chairman of the meeting and preside at
it.  The
Secretary, or if he or she is absent from such meeting or is
required
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 to act as

business at
each meeting of the stockholders shall be determined by the
chairman
of such meeting.  However, such order of business may be
changed by
the vote of a majority in voting interest of those present
in person
or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote at it.
          Section 8.  Voting.  Except as otherwise provided
in the
Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall, at
each meeting
of the stockholders, be entitled to one vote in person or by
proxy for
each share of stock of the Corporation held by him or her
and
registered in his or her name on the books of the
Corporation on the
date fixed pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 of
Article VII of
these By-laws as the record date for the determination of
stockholders
who shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such
meeting.
Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to
another
corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in
the
election of directors of such other corporation is held by
the
Corporation, shall not be entitled to vote.  Each
shareholder entitled
to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy;
provided,
however, that the right to vote by proxy shall exist only if

instrument authorizing the proxy to act has been executed in
writing

attorney duly
authorized in writing to do so, and delivered to the
Secretary of the
Corporation or to the Secretary of the meeting.  However, no
proxy
shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its
date,
unless the proxy shall provide for a longer period.  At all
meetings
of the stockholders all matters, except where other
provision is made
by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation or by
these By-laws, shall be decided by the vote of a majority in
voting
interest of the stockholders present in person or by proxy
and
entitled to vote, as long as a quorum is present.  Unless
demanded by
a stockholder of the Corporation present in person or by
proxy at any
meeting of the stockholders and entitled to vote thereat or
so
directed by the chairman of the meeting, the vote on any
question need
not be by ballot.  Upon a demand of any stockholder for a
vote by
ballot on any question or at the direction of the chairman

by ballot be taken on any question, such vote shall be
taken.  On a
vote by ballot each ballot shall be signed by the
stockholder voting,
or by his or her proxy, if there be such proxy, and shall
state the
number of shares voted.
          Section 9.  List of Stockholders.  It shall be the
duty of

another officer
of the Corporation designated by him or her or through a
transfer
agent appointed by the Board of Directors, to prepare and
make, at
least ten (10) days before every meeting of the
stockholders, a
complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the
meeting
arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of
each
stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name
of each
stockholder.  Such list shall be open to the examination of
any
stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during
ordinary
business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior
to said
meeting, either at a place within the city where said
meeting is to
be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of
said meeting,
or, if not so specified, at the place where said meeting is
to be
held.  The list shall also be produced and kept at the time
and place
of said meeting during the whole meeting, and may be
inspected by any
stockholder who is present.  The stock ledger shall be the
only
evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine
the stock
ledger, such list or the books of the Corporation, or to
vote in
person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
          Section 10.  Inspectors of Votes.  At each meeting
of the
stockholders the chairman of such meeting may appoint two
Inspectors
of Votes to act at it.  Each appointed Inspector of Votes
shall first
subscribe to an oath or affirmation faithfully to execute
the duties
of an Inspector of Votes at the meeting with strict
impartiality and
according to the best of his or her ability.  The Inspector
of Votes,
if any, shall take charge of the ballots at the meeting and
after the
balloting on any question shall count the ballots cast and
shall make
a report in writing to the Secretary of the meeting of the
results of
the vote.  An Inspector of Votes need not be a stockholder
of the
Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation may be an
Inspector
of Votes on any question other than a vote for or against
his or her
election to any position within the Corporation or on any
other
question in which he or she may be directly interested.
          Section 11.  Business to be Conducted.
          (a)  At any annual meeting of the stockholders,
only such
business shall be conducted as is properly brought before
the meeting.

In order for business to be properly brought before the
meeting, the
business must either be (1) specified in the notice of
meeting (or any
supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the
Board of
Directors; (2) otherwise properly brought before the meeting
by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors, or (3) otherwise
properly
brought before the meeting by a stockholder.  In addition to
any other
applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought
before
an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must
have given

of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the
Board of
Directors may from time to time by resolution determine the
number of
directors which shall be not less than three but not more
than
eighteen directors.  Directors need not be stockholders.
Directors
shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I,
Class II and
Class III.  Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be
possible,
of one third of the total number of directors constituting
the entire
Board of Directors. At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders,
successors
to the class of directors whose terms expire at that Annual
Meeting
shall be elected for a three year term.  If the number of
directors
is changed, an increase or decrease shall be apportioned
among the
classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each
class as
nearly equal as possible, but in no case shall a decrease in
the
number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent
director.  A
director shall hold office until the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders
for the year in which his or her term expires and until his
or her
successor is elected and qualified, subject, however, to
prior death,

at any
time by giving written notice of resignation to the
Corporation.  The
resignation shall take effect at the time specified, or, if
the time
when it becomes effective is not specified, then it shall
take effect
immediately upon its receipt by the Secretary.  Unless
otherwise
specified in the resignation, acceptance is not necessary to
make it
effective.
          Section 5.  Removal of Directors.  Subject to the
rights of
the holders of any class or series of stock then
outstanding, any
director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed
from office
at any time, with or without cause.  The vacancy in the
Board of
Directors caused by the removal of a director may be filled
by the
stockholders at any annual meeting or special meeting called
for such
purpose, or if the stockholders fail to fill the vacancy, by
the Board
of Directors as provided in Section 6 of this Article III.
The term
of a director elected to fill a vacancy caused by the
removal of a
director shall expire at the same time as the term of the
other
directors [of the class in which the vacancy occurred].
          Section 6.  Vacancies, etc.  If there is a vacancy
in the
Board of Directors caused by the death, resignation,
disqualification
or removal of a director, or by an increase in the number of
directors, the vacancy may be filled by a majority of the
directors
then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole
remaining
director.  The term of any director so elected by the Board
of
Directors shall expire at the same time as the term of the
other
directors [of the class for which the new directorship is
created or
in which the vacancy occurred].

annual
meeting of the stockholders is held.  Notice of the meeting
need not
be given.  The meeting may be held at any other time or
place
designated in a notice given as hereinafter provided for
special
meetings of the Board of Directors or in a consent and
waiver of
notice of meeting signed by all the directors.
          Section 9.  Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of
the Board
of Directors shall be held at such times as the Board of
Directors
shall determine.  If the day fixed for the regular meeting
is a legal
holiday where the meeting is to be held, then the meeting
shall be
held at the same hour on the next succeeding business day.
Except as
otherwise provided by law, notices of regular meetings need
not be

of Directors shall be a legal meeting, even if no notice has

as
otherwise provided by statute or by these By-laws, one-third

total number of directors constituting the whole Board (but
not less
than two) shall be required to constitute a quorum for the
transaction
of business at any meeting, and the act of a majority of the
directors
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be
the act
of the Board of Directors.  Members of the Board of
Directors, or any
committee designated by the Board, may participate in a
meeting of the
Board or such committee by means of conference telephone or
other
similar communications equipment by means of which all
persons
participating can hear each other and participation in a
meeting
pursuant to this provision shall constitute presence in
person at such
meeting.  In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the
directors
present may adjourn any meeting until a quorum is present.
Notice of
any adjourned meeting need not be given.
          Section 12.  Action by Consent.  Unless otherwise

or any
such committee.  The Board of Directors may also likewise
provide that
the Corporation shall reimburse each director for any
expenses paid
by him or her on account of his or her attendance at any
meeting.
Nothing in this Section contained shall be construed to
preclude any
director from serving the Corporation or its affiliates in
any other
capacity and receiving remuneration therefor.

certificate is
countersigned (a) by a transfer agent other than the
Corporation or
its employee or (b) by a registrar other than the
Corporation or its
employee, any other signature on the certificate may be a
facsimile.
If any officer of the Corporation who has signed, or whose
facsimile
signature has been placed upon such certificate ceases to be
such
before such certificate has been issued, the certificate may
nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same
effect as
though such person were such officer at the date of
issuance.
          Section 2.  Transfer.  Transfers of stock shall be
made on
the books of the Corporation only by the person named in the
certificate or by attorney lawfully constituted in writing,
and upon
surrender of the certificate therefor.
          Section 3.  Closing of Transfer Books.  The Board
of
Directors may close the transfer books in their discretion
for a
period not exceeding thirty days preceding any meeting of
the
stockholders, or the day appointed for the payment of a
dividend.
          Section 4.  Record Owner.  The Corporation shall
be entitled
to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of
stock as the
holder in fact and accordingly shall not be bound to
recognize any
equitable or other claim to or interest in the share on the
part of
any other person, whether or not the Corporation has express
or other
notice of it, except as expressly provided by the laws of
Delaware.
          Section 5.  Lost Certificates.  Any person
claiming a
certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed shall
make an
affidavit or affirmation of that fact in form satisfactory
to the
Corporation and shall if the officers so require give the
Corporation
a bond of indemnity, in form and with one or more sureties
satisfactory to the officers, in an amount which in the sole
discretion of the officers is sufficient to indemnify the
Corporation
against any claim that may be made against it on account of
the
alleged loss, theft or destruction, or the issuance of a new
certificate, whereupon a new certificate may be issued of
the same
tenor and for the same number of shares as the one alleged
to be lost,
stolen or destroyed.
          Section 6.  Books and Records.  The books and
records of the
Corporation may be kept at such places within or without the
State of
Delaware as the Board of Directors may determine.
          Section 7.  Fixing Date for Determination of
Stockholders
of Record.  In order that the Corporation may determine the
identity
of the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
meeting
of stockholders or any adjournment, or entitled to receive
payment of
any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any
rights, or
entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other
change,
conversion or exchange of stock or for any other purpose,
the Board
of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall
not be
more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before
the date
of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any
other
action.  If, in any case involving the determination of
stockholders
for any purpose other than notice of or voting at a meeting
of
stockholders a record date is not fixed, the record date for
determining stockholders for such purpose shall be the close
of
business on the day on which the Board of Directors shall
adopt the
resolution.  A determination of stockholders entitled to
notice of or
to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any
adjournment
of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of
Directors may fix
a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
                          ARTICLE VIII.
                           Dividends.
          Subject to the provisions of law and of the
Certificate of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors, at any regular or
special
meeting, may declare and pay dividends upon a share of stock
either
(a) out of its surplus as defined in and computed in
accordance with
the provisions of law or (b) in case it shall not have any
such
surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which
the
dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year,
whenever and
in the amount advisable depending on the Board of Directors'
opinion
of the condition of the Corporation.
          Before payment of any dividend or making any
distribution
of profits, the Board of Directors in its sole discretion
may set
aside out of the surplus or net profits of the Corporation a
sum as
a reserve fund to meet contingencies, or to equalize
dividends, or to
repair or maintain any property of the Corporation, or for
any other
purpose the directors think conducive to the interests of
the
Corporation.
                           ARTICLE IX.
                              Seal.
          The corporate seal shall bear the name of the
Corporation,
the year in which the Corporation was incorporated (1968)
and the
words "CORPORATE SEAL - DELAWARE."
                           ARTICLE X.
                          Fiscal Year.
          The fiscal year of the Corporation shall end on
the
thirty-first day of December in each year.
                           ARTICLE XI.
                        Indemnification.
          Section 1.  Action, etc. Other Than by or in the
Right of
the Corporation.  The Corporation shall indemnify any person
who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an
action by or
in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that
he or she,
or a person of whom he or she was or is the legal
representative, is
or was a director, officer, employee, agent or member of a
management
committee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of
the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or
member of
a management committee of another corporation, partnership,
joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
respect to
employee benefit plans.  The indemnification shall be
against charges,
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
liabilities, ERISA
excise taxes, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement actually
and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with
such action,
suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner
he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best
interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct
was unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in
a manner
which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the
best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal
action or proceeding, that he or she had reasonable cause to
believe
that his or her conduct was unlawful.
          Section 2.  Actions, etc. by or in the Right of
the
Corporation.  The Corporation shall indemnify any person who
was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened,
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of
the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the fact
that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation
as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him
or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or
suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of
the Corporation.  However, no indemnification shall be made
in respect
of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall
have been
adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to
the extent
that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action
or suit
was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the
case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for
such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other
court shall
deem proper.
          Section 3.  Determination of Right to
Indemnification.  Any
indemnification under Section 1 or 2 of this Article (unless
ordered
by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as
authorized in the
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of
the
director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances
because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct
set forth
in Section 1 or 2 of this Article.  This determination shall
be made
(i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to such action,
suit or
proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or,
even if
obtainable and a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by
the
stockholders.
          Section 4.  Right to Indemnification.
Notwithstanding the
other provisions of this Article, to the extent that a
director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been
successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding
referred to in Section 1 or 2 of this Article, or in defense
of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be
indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred
by him or her in connection therewith.
          Section 5.  Prepaid Expenses.  Expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in
defending a
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,
suit or
proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the
final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt
of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to
repay such
amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she
is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized
in this
Article.
          Section 6.  Other Rights and Remedies.  The
indemnification
and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
to, the
other subsections of this Article shall not be deemed
exclusive of any
other rights to which any person seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any By-laws,
agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, both as
to action in his or her official capacity and as to action
in another
capacity while holding such office.
          Section 7.  Continuation of Rights.  The
indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to,
this
Article shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or
ratified,
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer,
employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
          Section 8.  Insurance.  Upon resolution passed by
the Board
of Directors, the Corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or
agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise
against any liability asserted against him or her and
incurred in any
such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such,
whether
or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him
or her
against the liability under the provisions of this Article.
          Section 9.  Expenses as a Witness.  To the extent
any
director, officer, employee, member of a management
committee or agent
of the Corporation is by reason of such position, or a
position with
another entity at the request of the Corporation, a witness
in any
action, suit or proceeding, he shall be indemnified against
all costs
and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her
on his or
her behalf in connection therewith.
                          ARTICLE XII.
                           Amendments.
          All By-laws of the Corporation shall be subject to
alteration or repeal, and new By-laws may be made, by the
stockholders
at any annual or special meeting, or, except as otherwise
provided by
the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws or by law,
by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in
office given
at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors.

                           ARTICLE 2.

                         THE SECURITIES

SECTION 2.01   Form and Dating.

          The Securities, the notation thereon relating to
the
Guarantee and the Trustee's certificate of authentication
shall be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, which is
incorporated in and forms a part of this Indenture.  The
Securities
may have such notations, legends or endorsements as are
required by
law, stock exchange rule or usage.  Each Security shall be
dated the
date of its authentication.

SECTION 2.02   Execution and Authentication.

          Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the
Company by
manual or facsimile signature.  The Company's seal shall be
reproduced
on the Securities.  An Officer of each of the Guarantors
shall sign
the Guarantee for that Guarantor by manual or facsimile
signature.

          If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no
longer
holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated,
the
Security shall nevertheless be valid.

          A Security shall not be valid until authenticated
by the
manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee.  The signature
shall be
conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated
by the
Trustee under this Indenture.

          The Trustee shall authenticate Securities for
original issue
in the aggregate principal amount of up to $78,000,000 upon
a written
order of the Company signed by two Officers or by an Officer
and an
Assistant Treasurer or Assistant Secretary of the Company.
Such order
shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated
and the
date on which the original issue of Securities is to be
authenticated.

The aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding at
any time
may not exceed the amount of Securities issued pursuant to
this
paragraph except as provided in Section 2.07.

          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent
reasonably
acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities.  An
authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever
the Trustee
may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An
authenticating
agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the
Company or any
Affiliate.

          The Securities shall be issuable only in
registered form
without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 and
whole
multiples thereof.

SECTION 2.03   Registrar and Paying Agent.

          The Company shall maintain in the Borough of
Manhattan, The
City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may
be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the
"Registrar"), and an office or agency where Securities may
be
presented for payment (the "Paying Agent").  The Registrar
shall keep
a register of the Securities and of their transfer and
exchange.  The
Company may appoint or change one or more co-registrars and
one or
more additional paying agents without notice, and may act in
any such
capacity on its own behalf provided that if the Trustee is
acting as
registrar or paying agent, the Company shall give the
Trustee at least
five Business Days prior written notice of such change.  The
term
"Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent.

          The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency
agreement
with any Agent not a party to this Indenture.  The agreement
shall
implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to
such Agent.
The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address
of any
Agent not a party to this Indenture.  If the Company fails
to maintain
a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee may act as such.

          The Company initially appoints the Trustee as
Registrar and
Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.04   Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

          Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of the
Securityholders or the Trustee all moneys held by the Paying
Agent for
the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities
(whether
such money has been paid to it by the Company or any
Guarantor), and
shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company
and/or any
Guarantor in making any such payment.  While any such
default
continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all
money
held by it to the Trustee.  The Company may at any time
require a
Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.
Upon payment
over to the Trustee, neither the Company nor the Paying
Agent shall
have any further liability to any Securityholder or the
Trustee for
the money so paid over.  If the Company acts as Paying
Agent, it shall
segregate and hold as a separate trust fund all money held
by it as
Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.05   Securityholder Lists.

          The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as
is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it
of the
names and addresses of Securityholders.  If the Trustee is
not the
Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee not more
than 15
days after each record date a list, in such form and as of
such date
as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of
Securityholders and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in
writing, within 30 days after such request, a list in
similar form and
content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time
such list
is furnished.

SECTION 2.06   Transfer and Exchange.

          When Securities are presented to the Registrar or
a
Co-Registrar with a request to register their transfer or to
exchange
them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other
authorized
denominations accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Registrar, duly
executed by the registered owner or by his or her attorney
duly
authorized in writing, the Registrar shall register the
transfer or
make the exchange.  To permit registrations of transfer and
exchanges,
the Trustee shall authenticate Securities (accompanied by
Guarantees
duly endorsed by the Guarantors) at the Registrar's request.
The
Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be
required (i)
to issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange
any
Security during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days
before the mailing of a notice of redemption of the
Securities
selected for redemption under Section 3.03 and ending at the
close of
business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the
transfer
of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in
whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of Securities being
redeemed in
part.

          No service charge shall be made for any
registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may
require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer,
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other
than
exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06 or 9.05 not
involving any
transfer.

          Anything in this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding,
but subject to the payment of interest to the Holders of the
Securities on the applicable record date, the parties hereto
and any
agent thereof may deem and treat the Holder of any
Securities, prior
to due presentment thereof for registration of transfer, as
the
absolute owner of such Securities for all purposes (whether
or not the
Securities shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation
of
ownership or other writing thereon) and neither the Company,
the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected
by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.07   Replacement Securities.

          If the Holder of a Security claims that the
Security has
been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the
Company shall
execute and issue and, upon a written order of the Company
signed by
two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer or
Assistant
Secretary of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate
(accompanied
by Guarantees duly endorsed by the Guarantors) and deliver a
replacement Security if their respective reasonable
requirements as
well as the requirements of applicable law are met and, in
the case
of a mutilated Security, such mutilated Security is
surrendered to the
Trustee.  If required by the Trustee, any Guarantor or the
Company,
an indemnity bond must be furnished by such Holder in an
amount
sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee or the Company, as
the case
may be, to indemnify and protect the Company, each
Guarantor, the
Trustee and any other Agent and hold them harmless from any
loss which
any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced.  The
Company or the
Trustee may charge for its reasonable expenses in replacing
a
Security.

          If any mutilated, destroyed or wrongfully taken
Security has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in
its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such
Security
when due.

          Every replacement Security is an additional
obligation of
the Company.

SECTION 2.08   Outstanding Securities.

          Securities outstanding at any time are all the
Securities
authenticated by the Trustee except those canceled by it,
those
delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in
this Section
as not outstanding.  Subject to Section 2.09, a Security
does not
cease to be outstanding solely because the Company or any
Guarantor
or one of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates is a Holder of
the
Security.

          If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section
2.07, it
ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof
satisfactory to it, or a court holds, that the replaced
Security is
held by a bona fide purchaser.

          If the Paying Agent (if other than the Company) or
the
Trustee holds on a redemption date or the Maturity Date
money
sufficient to pay the principal of, and accrued interest on,
the
Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date
such
Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and
interest
on them shall cease to accrue.

SECTION 2.09   Securities Held by the Company or an
Affiliate.

          In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal
amount of Securities have concurred in any direction,
request, waiver
or consent under this Indenture, Securities owned by the
Company or
any Guarantor or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company
or a
Guarantor shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes
of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any
such direction, request, waiver or consent, only Securities
which the
Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 2.10   Temporary Securities.

          Until definitive Securities are ready for
delivery, the
Company may prepare and execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate
(accompanied by Guarantees duly endorsed by the Guarantor)
and deliver
temporary Securities.  Temporary Securities shall be
substantially in
the form of definitive Securities, but may have such
variations as the
Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.  The
Company
shall prepare and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and
deliver definitive Securities (accompanied by Guarantees
duly endorsed
by the Guarantors) in exchange for temporary Securities
without
unreasonable delay.

SECTION 2.11   Cancellation.

          The Company may at any time deliver Securities to
the
Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and Paying Agent
shall
forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them
for
registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee
shall
cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of
transfer,
exchange, payment or cancellation and shall destroy canceled
Securities and deliver a certificate of destruction to the
Company.
The Company may not issue new Securities to replace
Securities that
it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.12   Defaulted Interest.

          If and to the extent the Company defaults in a
payment of
interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted
interest in any
lawful manner.  It may pay the defaulted interest to the
Persons who
are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date.
The Company
shall fix such record date and payment date.  At least 15
days before
the record date, the Company shall mail to Securityholders,
with a
copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the record date,
payment
date and amount of interest to be paid.


                           ARTICLE 3.

                           REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.01   Notices to Trustee.

          If the Company wishes to redeem Securities
pursuant to
Section 3.07 or is required to redeem Securities pursuant to
Section
3.08, it shall notify the Trustee, by means of an Officers'
Certificate at least 60 days prior to the redemption date
(unless a
shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee),
of the
redemption date and the principal amount of Securities to be
redeemed.

SECTION 3.02   Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

          If less than all the Securities are to be
redeemed, the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed on a pro
rata
basis, by lot or such other method as the Trustee shall deem
fair and
equitable.  The Trustee shall make the selection from
Securities
outstanding and not previously called for redemption.  The
Trustee may
select for redemption portions of the principal of
Securities that
have denominations larger than $1,000.  The Securities and
portions
of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole
multiples
of $1,000.  The provisions of this Indenture that apply to
Securities
called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities
called for
redemption.  For purposes of any such selection the Company
will, upon
request of the Trustee, close for a period of 15 days
preceding the
mailing of any notice of redemption the registry books of
the Company
with respect to the Securities.  If the Company shall so
direct,
Securities registered in the name of the Company or any
Subsidiary or
Affiliate thereof shall not be included in the Securities
selected for
redemption.

SECTION 3.03   Notice of Redemption.

          At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
a
redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of
redemption by
first-class mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be
redeemed.

          The notice shall identify the Securities and the
principal
amount thereof to be redeemed (if less than all of the
Securities are
to be redeemed) and shall state:

          (1)  the redemption date;

          (2)  that the Securities will be redeemed at a
price equal
to the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and
unpaid
interest to the date of redemption (the "Redemption Price");

          (3)  the amount of accrued interest to be paid on
the
Securities as a part of the Redemption Price;

          (4)  the name and address of the Paying Agent;

          (5)  the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture
pursuant to which the Securities are to be redeemed;

          (6)  that Securities called for redemption must be
surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption
Price;

          (7)  that interest on Securities called for
redemption
ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date unless the
Company
shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price; and

          (8)  the CUSIP number of the Securities.

          At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give
the notice
of redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's
expense.

SECTION 3.04   Effect of Notice of Redemption.

          Once a notice of redemption is mailed in
accordance with the
provisions hereof, the Securities called for redemption
become due and
payable on the redemption date at the Redemption Price and,
on and
after such redemption date (unless the Company shall default
in the
payment of the Redemption Price on the date fixed for
redemption),
such Securities shall cease to bear interest and such
Securities shall
be deemed not to be outstanding hereunder and shall not be
entitled
to any benefits hereunder, except to receive payment of the
Redemption
Price.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities
shall be
paid at the Redemption Price.

SECTION 3.05   Deposit of Redemption Price.

          On or before the Business Day immediately
preceding the
redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying
Agent money
in funds immediately available on the opening of business on
the
redemption date sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of
all
Securities to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 3.06   Securities Redeemed in Part.

          Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in
part, the
Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security
equal in
principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security
surrendered.

SECTION 3.07   Optional Redemption; Open Market Purchases.

          The Securities may be redeemed at the option of
the Company
in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the
Redemption
Price.  The Securities may also be purchased by the Company
on the
open market from time to time, without penalty or premium.

SECTION 3.08   Mandatory Redemption.

          Within forty-five days after the end of each
fiscal quarter
of the Company in which Excess Net Proceeds for the fiscal
year of the
Company in which such fiscal quarter occurs shall have been
received
by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, the Company
shall deposit
all Excess Net Proceeds to the extent received during such
quarter
into an account with the Trustee.  All funds in such account
shall,
at the Company's written direction, from time to time, be
held in cash
in an interest-bearing account or invested in Cash
Equivalents
designated by the Company.  Simultaneously with such
deposit, the
Company shall provide to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate setting
forth (a) a calculation of the Net Proceeds received by the
Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary during such quarter, (b) a
calculation
of the amount of Excess Net Proceeds received by the Company
or any
Restricted Subsidiary and deposited with the Trustee, and
(c) if
appropriate, a statement of the reduction of the amount of
such
deposit pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 3.08.
If at any
time there is at least $5 million of Excess Net Proceeds on
deposit
with the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.08, all money in
such
account shall be used by the Trustee upon receipt of the
Officers'
Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof to
redeem
Securities at the Redemption Price.  The amount of any such
required
deposit shall be reduced by the principal amount of any
Securities
that the Company has (during a period commencing with the
public
announcement that a Sale of Assets has occurred in respect
of which
a deposit of Excess Net Proceeds is expected to be made and
ending on
the earlier of (i) ninety days after the date of such
announcement or
(ii) the date on which the deposit is required to be made
under the
first sentence of this Section 3.08) optionally redeemed or
purchased
(whether through open market or other purchases) and
delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation and that have not been previously
applied to
the reduction of the Company's obligations under this
Section or to
any sinking fund payment required pursuant to Section 3.09.


SECTION 3.09   Sinking Fund Payments.

          The Company shall make three payments of
$10,000,000 each
into a sinking fund account maintained with the Trustee
commencing in
the year 2000.  The first such payment shall be made on or
before July
31, 2000, the second on or before July 31, 2001 and the
third on or
before July 31, 2002.  All funds in such account shall, at
the
Company's written direction, from time to time, be held in
cash in an
interest-bearing account, or invested in U.S. Government
Obligations
designated by the Company with a maturity date not later
than one
Business Day before the Maturity Date ("bonds").  The funds
in the
sinking fund account shall be used to redeem Securities from
time to
time before the Maturity Date as and when directed by the
Company.
The amount of any such required sinking fund payment shall
be reduced
by the principal amount of any Securities that the Company
has
optionally redeemed or purchased and delivered to the
Trustee for
cancellation and that have not been previously applied to
the
reduction of the Company's obligations with respect to the
deposit of
Excess Net Proceeds under Section 3.08 or to any required
sinking fund
payment under this Section.  For purposes of this Indenture,
funds
held by the Trustee shall be deemed held by the Paying
Agent.  In the
event that, at any time, the principal amount of any
Securities
previously redeemed under this Section or delivered by the
Company to
the Trustee for cancellation under this Section plus any
cash
(together with the proceeds of the bonds, including, without
limitation, principal, interest and premium) in the sinking
fund
account at any time that the Company is not in default
hereunder
exceeds the lesser of (i) the then outstanding principal
amount of
Securities and (ii) $30,000,000, the excess shall be
returned to the
Company upon written request from the Company to the
Trustee.


                           ARTICLE 4.

                            COVENANTS

SECTION 4.01   Payment of Securities.

          The Company shall pay the principal of and
interest on the
Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the
Securities
and this Indenture.  Principal and interest shall be
considered paid
on the date due if the Paying Agent (if other than the
Company) holds
on that date money sufficient to pay all principal and
interest then
due.  The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at
the rate
specified in the Securities.

SECTION 4.02   Maintenance of Office or Agency.

          The Company will maintain in the Borough of
Manhattan, The
City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may
be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices
and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities and
this Indenture may be served.  The Company will give prompt
written
notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the
location,
of such office or agency.  If at any time the Company shall
fail to
maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to
furnish
the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate
Trust
Office of the Trustee.

          The Company may also from time to time designate
one or more
other offices or agencies where the Securities may be
presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time
to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such
designation
or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its
obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purposes.  The
Company will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office
or agency.

          The Company hereby initially designates the
Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee as an agency of the Company in
accordance with
Section 2.03.

SECTION 4.03   Corporate Existence.

          Except as permitted in Article 5, the Company
shall, and
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries (other than Rosebud and
its
Subsidiaries) to, do or cause to be done all things
necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
preserve
its or cause its Subsidiaries to preserve their corporate
existence
if the Company's Board of Directors shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct
of the
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole and
if the
loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect
to the
Holders.

SECTION 4.04   Payment of Taxes.

          The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be
paid or
discharged, before the same shall become delinquent (i) all
material
taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon the
Company or any Subsidiary (other than Rosebud and its
Subsidiaries)
and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies
which,
if unpaid, might by law become a material Lien upon the
property of
the Company or any Subsidiary (other than Rosebud and its
Subsidiaries); provided, however, that the Company shall not
be
required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged any
such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount,
applicability or
validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings
and for which it has set aside on its books such reserves as
it deems
adequate and are in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 4.05   Maintenance of Properties.

          The Company will cause the material properties
owned by the
Company or any Subsidiary (other than Rosebud and its
Subsidiaries)
for use in the conduct of its business or the business of
any such
Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition,
repair and
working order (subject to ordinary wear and tear) and will
cause to
be made all necessary repairs thereof, all as in the
judgment of the
Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in
connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted;
provided,
however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the
Company from
discontinuing the maintenance or repair of any such
properties if such
discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable
in the
conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary
(other than
Rosebud and its Subsidiaries) and if such discontinuance is
not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 4.06   SEC Reports.

          Within 15 days after the Company files with the
SEC copies
of its annual and quarterly reports and other information,
documents
and reports (or copies of such portions of any of the
foregoing as the
SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which it is
required to
file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act,
the Company shall deliver the same to the Trustee.  The
Company will
mail copies of its annual reports and quarterly reports as
filed with
the SEC, other than exhibits to any such report unless such
exhibits
are themselves incorporated by reference in such report, to
any
Securityholder upon request. If the Company shall cease to
be subject
to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee and to each
Securityholder,
within 15 days after the date by which it would have been
required to
make such a filing with the SEC, audited annual financial
statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP and unaudited condensed
quarterly
financial statements, including any notes thereto, each
comparable to
that which the Company would have been required to include
in such
annual reports, information, documents or other reports if
the Company
were then subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d)
of the
Exchange Act.  The Company also shall comply with the other
provisions
of TIA  314(a).

          If, in accordance with GAAP, any Guarantor shall
at any time
cease to be consolidated with the Company for financial
reporting
purposes, such Guarantor will, within 15 days after it files
with the
SEC copies of its annual and quarterly reports and other
information,
documents and reports (or copies of such portions of any of
the
foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe)
which it

will mail copies of its annual reports and quarterly reports
as filed
with the SEC, other than exhibits to any such report unless
such
exhibits are themselves incorporated by reference in such
report, to
any Securityholder upon request.  If such Guarantor shall
cease to be
subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange
Act, such Guarantor (to the extent it is required by the
TIA, taking
into consideration any waivers or no action positions
received by the
Company or the Guarantors from the SEC, written notice of
which shall
be provided to the Trustee) shall (i) deliver to the Trustee
and to
each Securityholder, within 15 days after the date by which
it would
have been required to make such a filing with the SEC,
audited annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and
unaudited
condensed quarterly financial statements, including any
notes thereto,
each comparable to that which such Guarantor would have been
required
to include in such annual reports, information, documents or
other

of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and (ii) comply with
the other
provisions of TIA  314(a).

          The Company and each Guarantor shall deliver to
the Trustee

after the
Effective Date of the Company and such Guarantor (which on
the date
of this Indenture both end on December 31), and within 60
days after
the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of the
Company and
such Guarantor, an Officers' Certificate signed by the
Company's
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or
principal
executive officer stating that, after a review of the
activities of
the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, during
such period
and of the Company's or such Guarantor's, as the case may
be,
performance under this Indenture, whether or not, to the
best
knowledge of the signer thereof based on such review, there
has been
any Default or Event of Default by the Company or such
Guarantor in
performing any of its obligations under this Indenture or
the
Securities.  If the signer does know of any such Default or
Event of
Default, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event
of
Default and its status.

SECTION 4.08   Restricted Investments and Restricted Stock
Payments.

          The Company will not itself, and will not permit
any
Restricted Subsidiary to, declare any Dividends or make any
Restricted
Stock Payment or Investment (other than Permitted
Investments),
unless, in the case of Dividends, such Dividends are
declared to be
payable not more than 60 days after the date of declaration
and
unless, in each case, after giving effect to the proposed
Dividend,
Restricted Stock Payment or Investment and to any other
Dividends
declared but not yet paid, at the date (hereinafter called
the
"Computation Date") of such declaration (in case of a
Dividend) or of
such Restricted Stock Payment or Investment (i) the Company
could
incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under Section 4.10
hereof
without taking into consideration the proviso thereto, and
(ii) there
is no outstanding Default or Event of Default and (iii) the
sum of:

          (A)  Adjusted Consolidated Net Income, plus:

          (B)  the aggregate amount of net cash proceeds to
the
Company from sales subsequent to Effective Date of shares of
its
Capital Stock (other than Preferred Stock of a Restricted
Subsidiary
permitted under Section 4.10 hereof and other than sales to
a
Subsidiary of the Company), plus:

          (C)  in the case of the disposition or repayment
of any
Investment (other than Permitted Investments) if such
Investment was
made by a Restricted Subsidiary or the Company after the
Effective
Date in accordance with this Section 4.08, an amount equal
to the
lesser of the return of capital to such Restricted
Subsidiary or the
Company, as the case may be, with respect to such Investment
and the
cost of such Investment, in either case, less the cost of
the
disposition of such Investment;

shall be greater than the aggregate amount of all such
Dividends
declared and Restricted Stock Payments and Investments
(other than
Permitted Investments) made during the period commencing on
the
Effective Date and continuing to and including the
Computation Date;

provided, however, that without regard to the foregoing
restrictions
of this Section, (a) the Company may retire any shares of
any class
of its Capital Stock by exchange for, or out of the proceeds
of the
substantially concurrent sale of, other shares of its
Capital Stock,
and neither any such retirement nor any such proceeds so
used shall
be included in any computation provided for in this Section
4.08 and
(b) any Restricted Subsidiary may make any required payments
(including without limitation, dividend, sinking fund, and
mandatory
redemption payments) on or in respect of any Preferred Stock
of such
Restricted Subsidiary permitted under Section 4.10 hereof.
For
purposes of this Section 4.08, the issuance of Capital Stock
upon the
conversion of any Indebtedness of the Company shall be
deemed to
constitute a sale for cash of such capital stock and the net
proceeds
of such sale shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the
principal
amount of such Indebtedness, less applicable expenses and
cash
payments for fractional shares.

          For the purposes of any computation under this
Section 4.08,
the amount of any Dividend declared or Restricted Stock
Payment made
in property other than cash, and the amount of any
Investment in a
Person other than a Restricted Subsidiary made through the
transfer
to it of any such property, shall be deemed to be the Fair
Value of
such property at the time of declaration (in the case of
Dividends)
or at the time of payment or distribution or the making of
such
Investment.

SECTION 4.09   Transactions with Affiliates.

          The Company will not, and will not permit any of
its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any material
transaction (an
"Affiliated Party Transaction") with any of its Affiliates
(other than
the Company or Restricted Subsidiaries) unless (i) such
transaction
is pursuant to an agreement or operating relationship
between the
Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary) and such Affiliate
in effect
or operative on the Effective Date or (ii) the Board of
Directors in
good faith determines that such transaction is in the best
interest
of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary and such
transaction is
on terms no less favorable to the Company (or such
Restricted
Subsidiary) than would be obtained in an arms' length
transaction.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted
Subsidiaries (other than New York Trap Rock and NYTR
Transportation)
to, engage in any material transaction with New York Trap
Rock or NYTR
Transportation other than Trap Rock Permitted Transactions.
With
respect to any Affiliated Party Transaction, or series of
related
Affiliated Party Transactions involving aggregate payments
or value
in excess of $1 million, but less than $5 million, the
Company shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that
such
transaction or series of transactions complies with clause
(i) or (ii)
of the immediately preceding sentence.  With respect to any
Affiliated
Party Transaction, or series of related Affiliated Party
Transactions
involving aggregate payments or value of $5 million or more,
other
than an Affiliated Party Transaction or series thereof
described in
clause (i) above, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a
written
opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that
the terms
of such transaction or series of transactions are fair to
the Company
or its Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be.  Nothing
in this
Section 4.09 shall be deemed to prohibit, or require the
delivery of
any such Officers' Certificate or opinion in relation to,
(a) any
transaction specifically provided for in the Plan of
Reorganization,
including without limitation any action or transaction, or
the
performance of any obligation, under the Incentive
Compensation Plan,
Management Services Agreement or the Employee Settlement

pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization; (e) the sale of
Common Stock
of the Company; and (f) any Trap Rock Permitted Transaction.

SECTION 4.10   Certain Limitations on Indebtedness, etc.

          (a)  The Company will not, and will not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to create,
incur or
assume or guarantee or otherwise become liable or
responsible for, any
Indebtedness, or enter into any sale-leaseback transaction
(other than
an Excepted Lease) unless immediately thereafter and after
giving
effect thereto, the Interest Expense Ratio shall be at least
equal to
2.0:1.0; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
paragraph
4.10(a) shall prevent the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary from
creating, incurring or assuming or guaranteeing or otherwise

the
Securities and this Indenture, (ii) any Refinancing
Indebtedness,

          For purposes of this paragraph 4.10(a) and Section
4.08:
(a) at the time that a corporation becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary it
shall be deemed to have created at such time all the
Indebtedness it
has outstanding immediately after such time, and (b) in case
any
Restricted Subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any
Indebtedness owing by the Company or another Restricted
Subsidiary,
or in case the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary
which holds
Indebtedness owing by the Company or any other Restricted
Subsidiary
shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, such
sale,
transfer or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the
creation of
such Indebtedness.

          (b)  The Company will not, and will not permit any
of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer
to exist
any Lien on any asset owned by the Company or any of its
Restricted
Subsidiaries except Permitted Liens.

          The Company will not, and will not permit any of
its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any agreement or

with
respect to the Securities pursuant to their terms and the
terms of
this Indenture.

SECTION 4.12   Restricted Subsidiaries.

          The Company will not suffer or permit a Restricted
Subsidiary to consolidate or merge with or into any other
Person,

consolidate or
merge into the Company;

               (2)  a Restricted Subsidiary may so

merger will
be a Restricted Subsidiary other than New York Trap Rock or

               (3)  a Restricted Subsidiary may, subject to
any other
applicable provision of the Indenture, consolidate or merge
into any
other Person in connection with a Sale of Assets permitted

a
Restricted Subsidiary the Company will notify the Trustee in
writing
of such designation.

SECTION 4.13   Sales of Assets.

          The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of
its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate a Sale of Assets

disposed of and
(ii) at least 80% of such consideration (including
consideration
described in clause (D)) consists of (A) cash (which shall

intended to
produce business and/or tax benefits for the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries and (iii) if such Sale of Assets or
series of
related Sales of Assets involves aggregate payments or value

Directors of
the Company who are not also employees of the Company.

shall
cause its Subsidiaries (other than Rosebud and its
Subsidiaries) to,
maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers such
(i)
liability and property and casualty insurance as may be

Subsidiaries
(other than Rosebud and its Subsidiaries) to, comply with

thereof such
Indebtedness or the Company's or any Restricted Subsidiary's
obligations under such Employee Settlement Agreement, as the
case may
be, referred to in clause (a) or (b) above, shall have been
accelerated so that such obligations thereunder shall be due
and
payable prior to the date on which otherwise due and payable
or, in
the case of the PBGC, it has foreclosed on the collateral
securing the
Company's obligations; provided that if such default or
event of
default under such indenture or Employee Settlement
Agreement or other
instrument or agreement shall be remedied or cured by the
Company or
the Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of such
Indebtedness or by the other parties to the relevant
agreement
entitled to the benefit of the defaulted obligation
thereunder, as the
case may be, prior to any acceleration thereof (or, in the
case of the
PBGC, foreclosure thereunder) then the Event of Default
under this
Indenture by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have
been
thereupon remedied, cured or waived without further action
upon the
part of either the Trustee or any of the Holders of
Securities;

SECTION 6.02   Acceleration.

          If an Event of Default (other than an Event of
Default
specified in Section 6.01(7), (8) or (9)) occurs and is
continuing,
the Trustee by notice to the Company and each of the
Guarantors, or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
Securities by
notice to the Company, each of the Guarantors and the
Trustee, may
declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the
Securities
to be due and payable.  Upon such declaration such principal
and
interest shall be due and payable immediately.  If an Event
of Default
specified in Section 6.01(7), (8) or (9) occurs, all unpaid
principal
and accrued interest on the Securities then outstanding
shall ipso
facto become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Securityholder.  The Holders of at least 66 2/3% of the
principal
amount of the Securities may rescind an acceleration and its
consequences by notice to the Trustee if the rescission
would not
conflict with any judgment or decree and if the outstanding
Events of
Default have been cured or waived except, unless theretofore
cured,
nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due
solely because
of the acceleration.  No such rescission shall affect any
subsequent
Default or impair any right or remedy with respect thereto.

SECTION 6.03   Other Remedies.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, if
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may pursue
any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to
collect the
payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to
enforce
the performance of any provision of the Securities, this
Indenture or
the Guarantee.

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it
does not
possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of
them in the
proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any
Securityholder
in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of
Default
shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver
of or
acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No remedy is
exclusive of any
other remedy.  All remedies are cumulative.

          In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to
enforce any
rights under this Indenture or the Guarantee and such
proceedings
shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or
shall have
been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every
such case
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to
any
determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively
to their
former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights,
remedies and
powers of the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee shall
continue
as though no such proceeding had been taken.

SECTION 6.04   Waiver of Past Defaults.

          Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, the
Holders of at
least 66 2/3% of the principal amount of the Securities by
notice to
the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of
Default and its
consequences.  When a Default or Event of Default is waived,
it is
cured and ceases.

SECTION 6.05   Control by Majority.

          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the
Securities may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any
trust or power conferred on it.  The Trustee, however, may refuse
to
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this
Indenture, is
unduly prejudicial to the rights of any Securityholder or
would
subject the Trustee to personal liability; provided, the
Trustee may
take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is
not
inconsistent with such direction.  A record date may be set
for
purposes of determining who may exercise such control.

SECTION 6.06   Limitation on Suits.

          Except as provided in Section 6.07, a
Securityholder may
pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Securities only
if:

          (1)  the Holder gives to the Trustee written
notice of a
continuing Event of Default;

          (2)  the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the
Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue
the remedy;

          (3)  such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee
indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss,
liability or
expense;

          (4)  the Trustee does not comply with the request
within 60
days after receipt of the request and the offer of
indemnity; and

          (5)  during such 60-day period the Holders of a
majority in
principal amount of the Securities do not give the Trustee a
direction
inconsistent with the request.

          A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to
prejudice the
rights of any other Securityholder or to obtain a preference
or
priority over any other Securityholder.

SECTION 6.07   Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

          Subject only to Section 6.02 hereof, the right of
any Holder
of a Security to receive payment of principal of and
interest on the
Security, on or after the respective due dates (prior to any
acceleration) expressed in the Security, or to bring suit
for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates,
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the
Holder.

SECTION 6.08   Collection Suit by Trustee.

          If an Event of Default specified in Section
6.01(1) or (2)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment
in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company
and the
Guarantors for the whole amount of principal and interest in
default.

SECTION 6.09   Trustee May File Proofs of Claims.

          The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and
other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
have the
claims of the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and the
Securityholders
allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company,
the
Guarantors, their creditors or their property.

          Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any
Holder of the Securities any plan of reorganization,
arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the
rights of
any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of
the claim of any Holder of the Securities in any such
proceeding.

SECTION 6.10   Priorities.

          If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this
Article,
it shall pay out the money in the following order:

          First:  to the Trustee for amounts due under
Section 7.07;

          Second:  to Securityholders for amounts due and
unpaid on
the Securities for principal and interest, ratably, without
preference
or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and
payable on
the Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

          Third:  to the Company.

          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date
for any
payment by it to Securityholders pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 6.11   Undertaking for Costs.

          In any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken
or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may
require any
party litigating the suit other than the Trustee to file an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in
its
discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit,
having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by
the party litigant.  This Section does not apply to a suit
by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a
suit by
Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the
Securities.


                           ARTICLE 7.

                             TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01   Acceptance of Trusts; Duties of Trustee.

          The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon
it by
this Indenture and covenants and agrees to perform the same
as herein
expressed.

          (a)  If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it
by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill
in their
exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under
the
circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

          (b)  Except during the continuance of an Event of
Default:

               (1)  The Trustee need perform only those
duties that
are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others.

               (2)  In the absence of bad faith on its part,
the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and
the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates
or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture.  Where a particular
provision of this
Indenture requires delivery of certain certificates and
opinions to
the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and
opinions
to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
of this
Indenture.

          (c)  The Trustee may not be relieved from
liability for its
own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own
willful misconduct, except that:

               (1)  This paragraph does not limit the effect
of
paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01.

               (2)  The Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to
any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer,
unless
it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining
the
pertinent facts.

               (3)  The Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to
any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
accordance with
a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

          (d)  Every provision of this Indenture that in any
way
relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and
(c) of
this Section 7.01.

          (e)  The Trustee may refuse to exercise any of its
rights
or powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders
unless
such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee indemnity
reasonably
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.
No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the
exercise of its
rights or power, if it has reasonable grounds for believing,
and does
believe in good faith, that repayment of such funds or
adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to
it.

          (f)  The Trustee shall not be liable for interest
on any
money received by it except as expressly provided with
respect to the
sinking fund account or as the Trustee may agree in writing
with the
Company.  Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be
segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.

SECTION 7.02   Rights of Trustee.

          (1)  The Trustee may rely on any document believed
by it to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper Person.
The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated
in the
document.

          (2)  Before the Trustee acts or refrains from
acting, it may
require an Officers' Certificate and/or an Opinion of
Counsel and may
consult with its counsel.  The Trustee shall not be liable
for any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance
on such
Officers' Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or advice of such
counsel.

          (3)  The Trustee may act through agents and shall
not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent
appointed
with due care.

SECTION 7.03   Individual Rights of Trustee.

          The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise
deal with
the Company, any Subsidiary or any of the Guarantors or an
Affiliate
thereof with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.
Any Agent may do the same with like rights.  The Trustee,
however,
must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.04   Trustee's Disclaimer.

          The Trustee makes no representation as to the
validity or
adequacy of this Indenture, the Guarantee or the Securities,
and it
shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities
or the
Guarantee other than its certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05   Notice of Defaults.

          If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is
actually
known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each
Securityholder
a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs.
Except in the
case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on
any
Security or in the case of a Default in making any sinking
fund
payment, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long
as it in
good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the
interests
of Securityholders.

SECTION 7.06   Reports by Trustee to Holders.

          Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning May 15,
1995, the
Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report
dated as of
such date in accordance with and to the extent required
under TIA
313(a).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA  313(b).

          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing
to
Securityholders shall be filed by the Trustee with the SEC
and each
stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed.
The
Company shall notify the Trustee when the Securities are
listed on any
stock exchange.

SECTION 7.07   Compensation and Indemnity.

          The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and
severally, agree
to pay to the Trustee, from time to time, such reasonable
compensation
for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
compensation shall
not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express
trust).  The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and
severally, agree
to reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-
of-pocket
expenses, advances and disbursements incurred or made by the
Trustee
in accordance with any provision of this Indenture
(including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements
of its
agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement
or advance
as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith.

          The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and
severally, agree
to indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against,
any loss,
expense or liability (including the reasonable fees and
expenses of
agents and counsel) incurred without negligence, bad faith
or willful
misconduct on its part, in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this Indenture and the performance of its
duties
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending
itself
against any claim or liability in connection with the
exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

          To secure the Company's and each Guarantor's
payment
obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien
prior to
the Securities on all money or property held or collected by
the
Trustee except that held in trust to pay principal and
interest on
particular Securities.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7), (8) or (9)
occurs,
the expenses and the compensation for services are intended
to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy
Law.

SECTION 7.08   Replacement of Trustee.

          A resignation or removal of the Trustee and
appointment of
a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the
successor
Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this
Section.

          The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company
and each
Guarantor.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the
Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the
Trustee, each
Guarantor and the Company and such Holders may appoint a
successor
Trustee with the Company's consent.  The Company may remove
the
Trustee if:

          (1)  the Trustee fails to comply with Section
7.10;

          (2)  the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an
insolvent;

          (3)  a receiver or other public officer takes
charge of the
Trustee or its property; or

          (4)  the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a
vacancy exists
in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall
promptly
appoint a successor Trustee.  Within one year after the
successor
Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount
of the Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace
the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

          If a successor Trustee does not take office within
30 days
after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the
retiring
Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in
principal
amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10,
any Holder
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of
the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of
its appointment to the retiring Trustee, the Guarantors and
to the
Company.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee
shall become effective and the successor Trustee shall have
all the
rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture.  The
successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Securityholders.  The retiring Trustee shall, upon payment
of all
amounts due it under Section 7.07, promptly transfer all
property held
by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the
lien
provided for in Section 7.07.

SECTION 7.09   Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

          If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts
into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust
business to
another corporation, the successor corporation without any
further act
shall be the successor Trustee.

SECTION 7.10   Eligibility; Disqualification.

          This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who
satisfies the
requirements of TIA  310(a)(1).  The Trustee shall always
have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set
forth in
its most recent published annual report of condition.  The
Trustee
shall comply with TIA  310(b), including the optional
provision
permitted by the second sentence of TIA  310(b)(9).

SECTION 7.11   Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Company.

          The Trustee shall comply with TIA  311(a),
excluding any
creditor relationship listed in TIA  311(b).  A Trustee who
has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA  311(a) to
the
extent indicated.

obligations under
this Indenture shall terminate when all Securities
previously

the principal and interest due at maturity or the Redemption
Price at

event to the
Holders;

          (3)  the Company has paid or caused to be paid all

precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction
and
discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company's obligations in
Sections
2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 4.01, 7.07, 7.08 and 8.03 (and
each
Guarantor's obligation in respect of Sections 4.01 and 7.07)
shall
survive until the Securities are no longer outstanding, and
the
Company's obligations pursuant to Sections 7.07 and 8.03
(and each
Guarantor's obligations in respect of Section 7.07) shall
survive any
such termination.

          After a deposit pursuant to this Section 8.01, the
Trustee
upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of
the
Company's and each Guarantor's obligations under the
Securities, the
Guarantee and this Indenture except for those surviving
obligations
specified above.

          In order to have money available on a payment date

such payment date in such amounts as will provide the
necessary money.

SECTION 8.02   Application of Trust Money.

          The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S.
Government
Obligations deposited with it in accordance with the
provisions
hereof.  It shall apply all such deposited money, and all

U.S. Government Obligations, through the Paying Agent and in
accordance with this Indenture, to the payment of principal
of and
interest on the Securities.

SECTION 8.03   Repayment to Company or Guarantors.

          The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly
pay to the
Company, or if deposited with the Trustee by a Guarantor, to
such
Guarantor upon request any excess money or securities held
by them at
any time.  The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the
Company,
or if deposited with the Trustee by a Guarantor, to such
Guarantor,
upon request any money held by them for the payment of
principal or
interest that remains unclaimed for two years; provided,
however, that
the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to
make any
such repayment, may, at the expense of the Company, cause to
be
published once in a newspaper of general circulation in The
City of
New York or cause to be mailed to each Holder, or both, a
notice
stating that such money remains and that, after a date
specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date
of such
publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money
then
remaining will be repaid to the Company.  After payment to
the
Company, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to
the
Company or such Guarantor for payment as general creditors
unless an
applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

SECTION 8.04   Reinstatement.

          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply
any money
or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section
8.01 by
reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or
judgment
of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company's and
each
Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture, the Guarantee
and the
Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit has
occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the
Trustee or
Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S.
Government
Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01; provided,
however, that
if the Company or any Guarantor has made any payment of
interest on
or principal of any Securities because of the reinstatement
of its
obligations, the Company or such Guarantor shall be
subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
payment from
the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee
or Paying
Agent.


                           ARTICLE 9.

                           AMENDMENTS

SECTION 9.01   Without Consent of Holders.

          The Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this
Indenture, the Guarantee or the Securities without notice to
or the
consent of any Securityholder:

          (1)  to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or
inconsistency;

          (2)  to comply with Section 5.01;

          (3)  to provide for uncertified securities;

          (4)  in order to effect the granting or release of
the
Guarantee with respect to any Guarantor in accordance with
Article 10;
or

          (5)  to make any change that does not adversely
affect the
rights of any Securityholder.

SECTION 9.02   With Consent of Holders.

          The Company, with the consent of each Guarantor
affected by
any amendment or supplement to the Guarantee, may amend or
supplement
this Indenture, the Guarantee or the Securities with the
written
consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% (except as
hereinafter
provided) of the principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding.
Subject to Section 6.07, the Holders of a majority (except
as
hereinafter provided) in principal amount of the Securities
may waive
compliance by the Company or any Guarantor with any
provision of this
Indenture, the Guarantee or the Securities without notice to
any
Securityholder.  However, without the consent of each
Securityholder
affected, no amendment, supplement or waiver (other than as
provided
in Section 6.02 hereof), including a waiver pursuant to
Section 6.04,
may:

          (1)  reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders
must
consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

          (2)  reduce the rate of or change the time for
payment of
interest on any Security;

          (3)  reduce the principal of or change the fixed
maturity
of any Security or alter the redemption provisions with
respect
thereto;

          (4)  waive a default in the payment of principal
of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Security;

          (5)  make any Security payable in money other than
that
stated in the Security;

          (6)  make any change in Section 6.04, Section 6.07
or this
Section 9.02;

          (7)  release any Guarantor from its liability
under its
Guarantee except in accordance with the express provisions
of Article
10; or

          (8)  make any change in Section 4.14.

          Promptly after an amendment under this Section
becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to the Securityholders a
notice
briefly describing the amendment.

          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the
Holders
under this Section to approve the particular form of any
proposed
amendment or supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent
approves the substance thereof.

SECTION 9.03   Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

          Every amendment to this Indenture, the Guarantee
or the
Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04   Revocation and Effect of Consents.

          Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective,
a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing
consent by
the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or
portion of a
Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder's
Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any
Security.

However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the
consent
as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee
receives
the notice of revocation before the date the amendment,
supplement or
waiver becomes effective.  An amendment, supplement or
waiver becomes
effective in accordance with its terms.

          After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective
with respect to the Securities, it shall bind every
Securityholder.

SECTION 9.05   Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

          If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the
terms of
a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the
Security to
deliver it to the Trustee.  The Trustee may place an
appropriate
notation on the Security about the changed terms and return
it to the
Holder.  Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so
determines,
the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the
Trustee
shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed
terms.

SECTION 9.06   Trustee Protected.

          The Trustee need not sign any amendment,
supplement or
waiver authorized pursuant to this Article that adversely
affects the
Trustee's rights.  The Trustee shall be entitled to receive
and rely
upon an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers' Certificate from
the
Company and any appropriate Guarantor that any amendment,
supplement
or waiver complies with the Indenture.


                           ARTICLE 10.

                            GUARANTEE

SECTION 10.01  Guarantee.

          Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, the
Company
shall cause each Guarantor existing from time to time to
unconditionally guarantee, by supplemental indenture, (a)
the due and
punctual payment of the principal of and interest on each
Security
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, when and as the
same shall
become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration
or
otherwise and the due and punctual payment of interest on
the overdue
principal of and interest, if any, on such Securities, to
the extent
lawful, including, in each case, interest accruing after the
filing
of a petition under any Bankruptcy Law regardless of whether
such
interest is allowed as a claim against the Company, and (b)
the due
and punctual performance of any obligation to repurchase
Securities
pursuant to Section 4.14, and (c) in the case of any
extension of time
of payment or renewal of any such Securities or any of such
other
obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full
when due or
performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or
renewal,
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.  Each
Guarantor
hereby agrees that (i) it will, pursuant to a supplemental
indenture,
agree to be bound by all covenants and agreements of this
Indenture
relating to a Guarantor including, without limitation,
Sections 4.06
and 4.07 and this Article 10, and (ii) its obligations
hereunder and
under the supplemental indenture and the Guarantee shall be
absolute
and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected
by, any
invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any such
Security or
this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any
such
Security or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or
indulgence
granted to the Company with respect thereto, whether by the
Holder of
such Security or the Trustee, or any other circumstances
which may
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a
surety or
guarantor.  Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment,
filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or
bankruptcy of
the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against
the
Company, the benefit of discussion, protest or notice with
respect to
any such Security or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and
all
demands whatsoever (except as specified above).  The
respective
Guarantees of the Guarantors will not be discharged as to
any such
Security except by payment in full of the principal thereof
and
interest thereon or as the Guarantee of any Guarantor may be
discharged and terminated as provided in Section 8.01 or as
expressly
provided in this Section 10.01 below.  Each Guarantor
further agrees
that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the
Holders and
the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the
obligations
guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article
6 hereof
for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any
stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration
in
respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the
event of
any declarations of acceleration of such obligations as
provided in
Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and
payable)
shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for
the
purpose of this Guarantee.  In addition, without limiting
the
foregoing provisions, upon the effectiveness of an
acceleration under
Article 6, the Trustee shall promptly make a demand for
payment of the
Securities under the Guarantee provided for in this Article
10 and not
discharged.

          In the event of (x) any insolvency, bankruptcy,
receivership, custodianship, liquidation, reorganization,
readjustment
of debt, arrangement, composition, moratorium, assignment
for the
benefit of creditors, or other similar proceedings affecting
the
Company or its property or assets, or (y) any proceeding for
voluntary
liquidation, dissolution or other winding up or bankruptcy
or other
similar proceedings affecting the Company, then and in any
such event
all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 of this
Indenture,
and all the Securities shall first be indefeasibly paid in
full before
any payment or distribution of any character, whether in
cash,
securities, obligations or other property, shall be made to
any
Guarantor.  Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any
claim or
other rights which it may now have or hereafter acquire
against the
Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance
or
enforcement of the Guarantor's obligations under the
Guarantee
including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right
to
participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of
Securities against
the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right
arises in
equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including,
without
limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company,
directly
or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in
any other
manner, payment or security on account of such claim or
other rights.
Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and
indirect
benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by
this
Indenture and the waiver set forth in this Section 10.01 is
knowingly
made in contemplation of such benefits.

          Upon any Sale of Assets, or any transaction which
would be
a Sale of Assets if not for the provisions of clause (D) of
the
definition of Sale of Assets herein, made in compliance with
the terms
of this Indenture which consists of a sale of all of the
Capital Stock
of a Guarantor or the sale of a Guarantor by means of any
merger or
consolidation permitted under this Indenture, such
Guarantor's
obligations in respect of the Guarantee shall, without
payment of any
consideration or any further action on the part of any
Person, be
discharged and terminated; provided, however, no such
discharge or
termination shall be effective if at the time of such
transaction,
there shall exist a Default or Event of Default.

          If at any time any Guarantor shall have ceased to
be a
Restricted Subsidiary by virtue of its having had total
assets with
a book value of less than $1,000,000 on the last day of each
of any
four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company, such
Guarantor shall
be released and discharged from its obligations under its
Guarantee
without payment of any consideration or any further action
on the part
of any Person.

          Upon its receipt of an Officers' Certificate of
the Company
that a Subsidiary has ceased to have any obligations under
its
Guarantee, as provided in this Section 10.01, the Trustee,
the Company
and such Restricted Subsidiary (or former Restricted
Subsidiary) shall
execute and cause to be filed or delivered any instrument,
agreement,
indenture or document reasonably requested by the Company in
an
Officers' Certificate to fully effect each discharge and
termination.

SECTION 10.02  Further Assurances.

          The Company has executed and delivered and the
Company and
all Guarantors will execute and deliver all such instruments
and
documents, and have done and will do all such acts and other
things,
at the Company's expense, as may be necessary or desirable,
or that
the Trustee may reasonably request, to give full force and
effect to
the Guarantee, in the case of the existence of an Event of
Default,
to enable the Trustee to exercise and enforce the
Securityholders'
rights and remedies with respect to the Guarantee.

SECTION 10.03  Authorization of Actions to be Taken by the
Trustee
Under the Guarantee.

          The Trustee may, in its sole discretion and
without the
consent of the Securityholders take all actions it deems
necessary or
appropriate in order to (i) enforce any of the terms of the
Guarantee
and (ii) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in
respect
of the obligations of the Company and/or the Guarantors
hereunder.
The Trustee shall have power to institute and to maintain
such suits
and proceedings as it may deem expedient to preserve or
protect its
interests and the interests of the Securityholders.

SECTION 10.04  Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the
Trustee Under
the Guarantee.

          The Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for
the
benefit of Securityholders distributed under the Guarantee,
and to
make further distributions of such funds to the Holders
according to
the provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.05  Termination of Guarantee.

          Upon the discharge of the Guarantee with respect
to any one
or more Guarantors, the Trustee shall, at the request of the
Company,
deliver a certificate to such Guarantors stating that such
obligations
have been discharged in full.

SECTION 10.06  Execution of Guarantee.

          To evidence its guarantee to the Securityholders
specified
in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees to execute
the Notation
Relating to Guarantee in the form set forth in Exhibit A
hereto on
each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.
Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in
Section 10.01
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to
endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantee.  Each
such
Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by its
Chairman
of the Board, President or a Vice President, prior to the
authentication of the Security on which it is endorsed, and
the
delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the
authentication
thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such
Guarantee on
behalf of such Guarantor.  Such signatures upon the
Guarantee may be
manual or facsimile signatures of the present, past or any
future
Officers of the appropriate Guarantor and may be imprinted
or
otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case any such
Officer
who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such
Officer
before the Security on which such Guarantee is endorsed
shall have
been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed
of by the
Company, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and
delivered
or disposed of as though the Person who signed the Guarantee
had not
ceased to be such Officer of the Guarantor.

binding upon
such Holder and upon all future holders and owners of such

claim therefor
against any party hereto.

       [REVERSE OF SECURITY]

                   LONE STAR INDUSTRIES, INC.

                    10% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2003

          1.   Interest.  Lone Star Industries, Inc., a
Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the
principal
amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above.
The
Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on July 31
and
January 31 of each year, commencing July 31, 1994.  Interest
on the
Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has
been paid (or, if no interest has been paid, from February
1, 1994).
Interest on overdue principal shall accrue at the rate per
annum of
11% from the due date until paid in full.  Interest shall be
computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of 12 30-day months.

          2.   Method of Payment.  The Company will pay
interest on
the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the persons
who are
registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on
the
record date set forth on the face of this Security next
preceding the
applicable interest payment date.  Holders must surrender
Securities
to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The
Company will pay
principal and interest in money of the United States that at
the time
of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts.
However, the Company may pay principal and interest by check
payable
in such money.  It may mail an interest check to a Holder's
registered
address.

          3.   Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially,
Chemical Bank
(the "Trustee") will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The
Company
may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar
without notice.

The Company may act in any such capacity.

          4.   Indenture.  The Company has issued the
Securities under
an Indenture, dated as of March 29, 1994 (the "Indenture"),
between
the Company and the Trustee.  The terms of the Securities
include
those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by
reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15
U.S. Code
 77aaa=77bbbb) (the "Act") as in effect on the date of the
Indenture.  The Securities are subject to all such terms,
and
Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the Act
for a
statement of such terms.  The Securities are obligations of
the
Company limited to up to $78,000,000 aggregate principal
amount
(except for Securities issued in substitution for destroyed,
mutilated, lost or stolen Securities).  Terms used herein
which are
defined in the Indenture have the meanings assigned to them
in the
Indenture.

          5.   Voluntary Prepayments or Redemption; Open
Market
Purchases.  The Securities may be redeemed at the option of
the
Company in whole at any time or in part from time to time at
the
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
date of such
optional redemption (the "Redemption Price").  The
Securities may also
be purchased by the Company on the open market from time to
time
without penalty or premium.

          6.   Sinking Fund.  The Company must make three
payments of
$10,000,000 each into a specified sinking fund provided for
in the
Indenture.  The first payment of $10,000,000 shall be made
on or prior
to July 31, 2000, the second on or prior to July 31, 2001,
and the
third on or prior to July 31, 2002.  Payments pursuant to
this
paragraph shall be made to the Trustee in accordance with
the
provisions of the Indenture.  The amount of any sinking fund
payment
the Company is required to make shall be reduced by the
principal
amount of any Securities that the Company has optionally
redeemed or
purchased and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and
that have
not been previously applied against the Company's deposit
obligations
with respect to Excess Net Proceeds redemptions or required
sinking
fund payments.

          7.   Mandatory Redemption.  Within forty-five days
after the
end of each fiscal quarter of the Company in which Excess
Net Proceeds
shall have been received by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary,
the Company shall deposit all Excess Net Proceeds received
during such
quarter into an account with the Trustee.  Simultaneously
with such
deposit, the Company shall provide to the Trustee an
Officers'
Certificate setting forth (a) a calculation of the Net
Proceeds
received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary during
such
quarter, (b) a calculation of the amount of Excess Net
Proceeds
received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and
deposited
with the Trustee and (c) if appropriate, a statement of the
reduction
of the amount of such deposit pursuant to the last sentence
of Section
3.08 of the Indenture.  If at any time there is at least $5
million
on deposit with the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08 of the
Indenture,
all money in such account shall be used by the Trustee upon
receipt
of the Officers' Certificate, delivered pursuant to Section
3.01 of
the Indenture, to redeem Securities at the Redemption Price.
The
amount of any such required deposit shall be reduced by the
principal
amount of any Securities that the Company has (during a
period
commencing with the public announcement that a Sale of
Assets has
occurred in respect of which a deposit of Excess Net
Proceeds is
expected to be made and ending on the earlier of (i) ninety
days after
the date of such announcement or (ii) the date on which the
deposit
is required to be made under the first sentence of Section
3.08 of the
Indenture) optionally redeemed or purchased (whether through
open
market or other purchases) and delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation and that have not been previously applied
against the
Company's deposit obligations with respect to Excess Net
Proceeds or
required sinking fund payments.

          8.   Offers to Purchase.  Section 4.14 of the
Indenture
provides that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control,
and subject
to further limitations outlined therein, the Company shall
make an
offer to purchase the Securities in accordance with the
procedures set
forth in the Indenture.

          9.   Guarantee.  The Securityholders may be the
beneficiaries of a Guarantee made by the Guarantors from
time to time
as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture.  A
Securityholder by
accepting this Note agrees to all of the terms and
conditions of the
Guarantee.

          10.  Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The
Securities are
in registered form without coupons in denominations of
$1,000 and
whole multiples of $1,000.  The transfer of Securities may
be
registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in
the
Indenture.  The Registrar may require a Holder, among other
things,
to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents.
No
service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection
therewith.  The Registrar need not exchange or register the
transfer
of any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part
(except
the unredeemed portion of Securities being redeemed in
part).  Also,
it need not exchange or register the transfer of any
Securities for
a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be
redeemed.

          11.  Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder
of this
Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

          12.  Merger or Consolidation.  The Company may not
consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, assign, transfer
or lease
all or substantially all of its assets to another person
unless: (i)
there is no outstanding Default or Event of Default; (ii)
the person
formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if
other than
the Company), or to which such sale or conveyance shall have
been
made, is an entity organized and existing under the laws of
the United
States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii)
such
person assumes by supplemental indenture all the obligations
of the
Company under the Securities and the Indenture; and (iv) the
person
formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger, or to
which such
sale or conveyance shall have been made, immediately
thereafter (A)
has Consolidated Net Worth no smaller than the Company
immediately
prior thereto and (B) could incur $1.00 of additional
Indebtedness
under Section 4.10 of the Indenture without taking into
consideration
the proviso thereto.

          13.  Amendments and Waivers.  Subject to certain
exceptions,
the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the
consent of the
Holders of at least 66 % of the principal amount of the
Securities
outstanding, and certain existing defaults may be waived
with the
consent of the Holders of at least 66 % of the principal
amount of
the Securities outstanding.  Without the consent of any
Securityholder, the Indenture or the Securities may be
amended to cure
any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide
for
uncertificated Securities in addition to certificated
Securities, to
comply with Section 5.01 of the Indenture or to make any
change that
does not adversely affect the right of any Securityholder.

          14.  Defaults and Remedies.  An Event of Default
is:

same
becomes due and payable, whether at maturity, in connection
with any
redemption, by acceleration or otherwise, and such default
continues
for a period of 30 days; default in the payment of the
principal of
any Security when the same becomes due and payable, whether
at
maturity, in connection with any sinking fund obligation or
redemption, by acceleration or otherwise (provided, however,

computation of Excess Net Proceeds, that such default shall
have
remained uncured for a period of 30 days from the date of
notice to
the Company from the Trustee as to such default); failure by
the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to observe or perform
in any
material respect any of its other covenants or agreements in

Company or
the date on which the Company had Actual Knowledge of such
failure;
failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to pay
when due any principal or interest on any Indebtedness with
an
aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of $1
million, which
default continues for any period of grace applicable thereto
or a
default or event of default, as defined in (i) one or more
indentures,
agreements or other instruments evidencing or under which
the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries individually or
collectively
have outstanding at least $1 million aggregate principal
amount of
Indebtedness or (ii) Employee Settlement Agreements (which,
in the
case of the Employee Settlement Agreement with the Pension
Benefit
Guaranty Corporation, shall be limited to a default under
Section
9.1(a) thereof) and such Indebtedness or Employee Settlement
Agreement
shall have been accelerated so that it is due and payable
prior to the
date on which it would otherwise have become due and
payable, unless
cured or waived prior to acceleration; entry of one or more
final

Subsidiaries
for payments of money which in the aggregate exceed $1

serving as
successor Trustee thereunder, in its individual or any other
capacity,

and may otherwise deal with the Company, its Affiliates and
Restricted
Subsidiaries or the Guarantors, as if it were not Trustee.

          16.  No Recourse Against Others.  No director,
officer,
employee, or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any
Guarantor
shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company
under the
Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in

or by reason of such obligations or their creation.  Each
Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases
all such
liability.  The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for
the issue of the Securities.

          17.  Authentication.  This Security and any

                        WARRANT AGREEMENT

          WARRANT AGREEMENT dated April 13, 1994 between
LONE STAR
INDUSTRIES, INC. (the "Company"), and CHEMICAL BANK, a New
York
banking corporation, as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent").

          The Company proposes to issue Common Stock

Warrants, as hereinafter described (the "Warrants"), to
purchase an
aggregate of 4,003,333 shares (subject to adjustment as
provided
herein) of its Common Stock, $1.00 par value (the "Common
Stock"),
(the shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the
Warrants being
referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares"), pursuant to the
Modified
Amended Consolidated Plan of Reorganization of the Company
(the
"Plan").  Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to
purchase
one share (subject to adjustment as provided herein) of
Common Stock.

          The Company wishes the Warrant Agent to act on
behalf of the
Company and the Warrant Agent is willing to act in
connection with the
issuance, separation, transfer, exchange and exercise of
Warrants.

          In consideration of the foregoing and for the
purposes of
defining the terms and provisions of the Warrants and the
respective
rights and obligations thereunder of the Company and the
registered
owners of the Warrants (the "Holders"), the Company and the
Warrant
Agent hereby agree as follows:

          SECTION 1.  Appointment of Warrant Agent.  The
Company
hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the
Company in
accordance with the instructions set forth in this
Agreement, and the
Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

          SECTION 2.  Transferability and Form of Warrant.

          2.1  Registration.  The Warrants shall be numbered
and shall
be registered in a Warrant Register as they are issued.  The
Company
and the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to treat the Holder
of any
Warrant as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and
shall not
be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or
interest in
such Warrant on the part of any other person.

          2.2  Transfer.  The Warrants shall be transferable
only on
the books of the Company maintained at the principal office
of the
Warrant Agent upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the
Holder or by
his duly authorized attorney or representative, or
accompanied by
proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to
transfer.
In all cases of transfer by an attorney, the original power
of
attorney, duly approved, or a copy thereof, duly certified,
shall be
deposited and remain with the Warrant Agent.  In case of
transfer by
executors, administrators, guardians or other legal
representatives,
duly authenticated evidence of their authority shall be
produced, and
may be required to be deposited and remain with the Warrant
Agent in
its discretion.  Upon any registration of transfer, the
Warrant Agent
shall countersign and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants to
the persons
entitled thereto.

          2.3  Form of Warrant.  The text of the Warrant and
the
Purchase Form shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit
A
attached hereto.  The price per Warrant Share and the number
of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant are
subject to
adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, all as
hereinafter
provided.  The Warrant shall be executed on behalf of the
Company by
its Chairman of the Board, President or one of its Vice
Presidents,
under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its
Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary.  The signature of any such
officers on the
Warrants may be manual or facsimile.

          Warrants bearing the manual or facsimile signature
of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the
Company
shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any
one of them shall have ceased to hold such office prior to
the
delivery of such Warrants or did not hold such offices on
the date of
this Agreement.

          Warrants shall be dated as of the date of
countersignature
thereof by the Warrant Agent either upon initial issuance or
upon
division, exchange, substitution or transfer.

          SECTION 3.  Countersignature of Warrants.  The
Warrants
shall be countersigned by the Warrant Agent (or any
successor to the
Warrant Agent then acting as warrant agent under this
Agreement) and
shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned.
Warrants
may be countersigned, however, by the Warrant Agent (or by
its
successor as warrant agent hereunder) and may be delivered
by the
Warrant Agent, notwithstanding that the persons whose manual
or
facsimile signatures appear thereon as proper officers of
the Company
shall have ceased to be such officers at the time of such
countersignature, issuance or delivery.  The Warrant Agent
shall, upon
written instructions of the Chairman of the Board,
President, one of
the Vice Presidents or the Secretary of the Company,
countersign,
issue and deliver Warrants entitling the Holders thereof to
purchase
not more than 4,003,333 Warrant Shares (subject to Section 7
hereof
and adjustment pursuant to Section 10 hereof) and shall
countersign
and deliver Warrants as otherwise provided in this
Agreement.

          SECTION 4.  Exchange of Warrant Certificates.
Each Warrant
certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or
certificates
entitling the Holder thereof to purchase a like aggregate
number of
Warrant Shares as the certificate or certificates
surrendered then
entitle such Holder to purchase.  Any Holder desiring to
exchange a
Warrant certificate or certificates shall make such request
in writing
delivered to the Warrant Agent, and shall surrender,
properly
endorsed, the certificate or certificates to be so
exchanged.
Thereupon, the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver
to the
person entitled thereto a new Warrant certificate or
certificates, as
the case may be, as so requested.

          SECTION 5.  Term of Warrants; Exercise of
Warrants.

          5.1  Term of Warrants.  Subject to the terms of
this
Agreement, each Holder shall have the right, which may be
exercised
until the close of business on December 31, 2000, to
purchase from the
Company the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant
Shares
which the Holder may at the time be entitled to purchase on
exercise
of such Warrants.

          5.2  Exercise of Warrants.  Warrants may only be
exercised
for the purchase of whole Warrant Shares.  Warrants may be
exercised
upon surrender to the Company at the principal office of the
Warrant
Agent, of the certificate or certificates evidencing the
Warrants to
be exercised (except as otherwise provided below), together
with the
form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof duly
filled in and
signed, and upon payment to the Warrant Agent for the
account of the
Company of the Warrant Price (as defined in and determined
in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 9 and 10 hereof),
for the
number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants
are then
exercised.  Payment of the aggregate Warrant Price shall be
made in
cash or by certified or official bank check.

          Subject to Section 6 hereof, upon such surrender
of Warrants
and payment of the Warrant Price as aforesaid, the Company
shall issue
and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or
upon the
written order of the Holder, and in such name or names as
the Holder
may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number
of full
Warrant Shares so purchased upon the exercise of such
Warrants,
together with cash, as provided in Section 12 hereof, in
respect of
any fractional Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such
exercise
of Warrants.  Such certificate or certificates shall be
deemed to have
been issued and any person so designated to be named therein
shall be
deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant
Shares as of
the date of the surrender of such Warrants and payment of
such Warrant
Price, as aforesaid; provided, however, that if, at the date
of
surrender of such Warrants and payment of such Warrant
Price, the
transfer books for the Warrant Shares or other class of
stock
purchasable upon the exercise of such Warrants shall be
closed, the
certificates for the Warrant Shares in respect of which such
Warrants
are then exercised shall be issuable as of the date on which
such
books shall next be opened (whether before or after December
31, 2000)
and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to
deliver any
certificate for such Warrant Shares; provided further,
however, that
the transfer books of record, unless otherwise required by
law, shall
not be closed at any one time for a period longer than
twenty days.
The rights of purchase represented by the Warrants shall be
exercisable, at the election of the Holders thereof, either
in full
or from time to time in part and, in the event that a
certificate
evidencing Warrants is exercised in respect of less than all
of the
Warrant Shares purchasable on such exercise at any time
prior to the
date of expiration of the Warrants, a new certificate
evidencing the
remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued, and the
Warrant Agent
is hereby irrevocably authorized to countersign and to
deliver the
required new Warrant certificate or certificates pursuant to
the
provisions of this Section and of Section 3 hereof and the
Company,
whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply the
Warrant Agent
with Warrant certificates duly executed on behalf of the
Company for
such purpose.

          SECTION 6.  Payment of Taxes.  The Company will
pay  all
documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable to the initial
issuance
of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided,
however,
that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or
taxes which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issue or
delivery of any Warrants or certificates for Warrant Shares
in a name
other than that of the registered Holder of Warrants in
respect of
which such Warrant Shares are issued.

          SECTION 7.  Mutilated or Missing Warrants.  In
case any of
the certificates evidencing the Warrants shall be mutilated,
lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue, and the
Warrant Agent
shall countersign and deliver in exchange and substitution
for and
upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant certificate, or
in lieu of
and substitution for the Warrant certificate lost, stolen or
destroyed, a new Warrant certificate of like tenor and
representing
an equivalent right or interest; but only upon receipt of
evidence
satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such
loss, theft
or destruction of such Warrant and indemnity, if requested,
also
satisfactory to them.  An applicant for such a substitute
Warrant
certificate shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations
and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company or the
Warrant
Agent may prescribe.

          SECTION 8.  Reservation of Warrant Shares:
Ownership of
Warrants by Company.

          8.1  Reservation of Warrant Shares.  There have
been
reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved,
out of its
authorized Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock
sufficient
to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase
represented by
the outstanding Warrants.  The Transfer Agent for the Common
Stock and
every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the
Company's
capital stock issuable upon the exercise of any of such
rights of
purchase will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all
times to
reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be
requisite for
such purpose.  The Company will keep a copy of this
Agreement on file
with the Transfer Agent or its successors and with every
subsequent
transfer agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock
issuable
upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by
the
Warrants.  The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably
authorized to
requisition from time to time from the Transfer Agent or its
successors the stock certificates required to honor
outstanding
Warrants upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms
of this
Agreement.  The Company will supply such Transfer Agent or
its
successors with duly executed stock certificates for such
purposes and
will provide or otherwise make available any cash which may
be payable
as provided in Section 12 hereof.  All Warrants surrendered
in the
exercise of the rights thereby evidenced shall be cancelled
by the
Warrant Agent and shall thereafter be delivered to the
Company.

          8.2  Ownership of Warrants by the Company.  No
provision of
this Agreement shall limit or restrict the rights of the
Company, or
any affiliate of the Company,  to acquire or hold any
Warrant or
exercise any rights as a Holder thereof.

          8.3  Cancellation of Warrants.  In the event the
Company
shall purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants, the same shall
thereupon
be delivered to the Warrant Agent and be cancelled by it and
retired.
The Warrant Agent shall cancel any Warrants (or portions
thereof)
surrendered for exchange, substitution, transfer or exercise
in whole
or in part.

          SECTION 9.  Warrant Price.  The price per share at
which
Warrant Shares shall be purchasable upon exercise of
Warrants (the
"Warrant Price") shall be $18.75, subject to adjustment
pursuant to
Section 10 hereof.

          SECTION 10.  Adjustment of Warrant Price and
Number of
Warrant Shares.  The number and kind of securities
purchasable upon
the exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be
subject
to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
certain events,
as hereinafter defined.

          10.1 Mechanical Adjustments.  The number of
Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the
Warrant Price
shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

               (a)  In case the Company shall (i) pay a
dividend in
shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of
Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock, (iii)
combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number
of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issue by reclassification
or
recapitalization of its shares of Common Stock other
securities of the
Company, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of
each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so
that the
Holder of each Warrant shall be entitled to receive the kind
and
number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company
which he
or she would have owned or have been entitled to receive
after the
happening of any of the events described above, had such
Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event
or any
record date with respect thereto.  An adjustment made
pursuant to this
paragraph (a) shall become effective immediately after the
effective
date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any,
for such
event.

               (b)  (i)  In case the Company shall
distribute to all
holders of its shares of Common Stock evidences of its
indebtedness
or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions payable
out of
retained earnings or surplus and dividends or distributions
referred
to in paragraph (a) above) or rights, options or warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right
to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, then in
each case
the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon the
exercise
of each Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the
number of
Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of
each
Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the
then
current market price per share of Common Stock (as defined
in Section
10.1(c) hereof) on the date of the public announcement of
such
distribution and of which the denominator shall be the then
current
market price per share of Common Stock, less the then fair
value (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company,
whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of
the assets
or evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or of such
subscription
rights, options or warrants or of such convertible or
exchangeable
securities applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such
adjustment
shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and
shall become
effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the
record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such
distribution.

                    (ii)  In case the Company shall grant or
issue any
stock option, stock bonus share or other stock-related
security or
right in any case which are exercisable for or convertible
into Common
Stock (collectively, "Stock Rights") to management or
employees of the
Company or any subsidiary thereof, or to any consulting or
similar
firm, for providing management services to the Company or
any such
subsidiary, pursuant to any compensatory performance or
similar plan
or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors other than
any Stock
Rights for which an adjustment is made under Section
10.1(b)(i) or any
Stock Rights granted pursuant to the Management Stock Option
Plan and
the Directors Stock Option Plan described in the Company's
Modified
Amended Disclosure Statement dated November 4, 1993 relating
to the
Plan, and the aggregate price per share for which Common
Stock is
issuable upon exercise or conversion of such Stock Rights
(which shall
include any per share payment made to acquire such Stock
Rights) shall
be less than the current market price of Common Stock as of
the close
of business on the business day immediately preceding the
date of
grant of such Stock Rights, then, upon the exercise or
conversion of
any such Stock Rights, the number of Warrant Shares
thereafter
purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be
determined by
multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofore
purchasable upon
the exercise of each Warrant by a fraction, the  numerator
of which
shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the business day immediately preceding the
date of
exercise or conversion of such Stock Rights (the
"Outstanding Shares
Amount"), and (B) the number of additional shares of Common
Stock
issued upon the exercise or conversion of the Stock Rights
being
exercised (the "Additional Shares Amount") and the
denominator of
which shall be the sum of (x) the Outstanding Shares Amount,
and (y)
the Additional Shares Amount multiplied by the aggregate
price per
share for which Common Stock is issuable upon exercise or
conversion
of such Stock Rights (which shall include any per share
payment made
to acquire such Stock Rights on the date of their issuance)
divided
by the current market price per share of Common Stock as of
the close
of business on the business day immediately preceding the
date of
grant of such Stock Rights.  Subject to Section 10.1(d),
such
adjustment shall be made whenever any Stock Rights referred
to in this
Section 10.1(b)(ii) are exercised or converted and shall be
effective
as of the date of such exercise or conversion.

     The provisions of this Section 10.1(b)(ii) shall not
apply to any
Stock Rights granted to an underwriter or selling agent of
securities
of the Company or any subsidiary thereof in connection with
an
underwriting or sale of securities of the Company or any
such
subsidiary, and the provisions of this Section 10.1(b)(ii)
shall not
be deemed to apply to a right to purchase shares of Common
Stock which
constitutes an agreement for the purchase and sale of Common
Stock.

               (c)  For the purpose of any computation under
Section
10.1(b) and Section 12 hereof, the current market price per
share of
Common Stock at any date shall be the average closing price
of the
Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or other
principal
national securities exchange on which the Company's Common
Stock shall
be then traded), or if not then traded on such an exchange,
the
average representative closing bid price of the Common Stock
(if then
traded in the over-the-counter market) or the average
closing price
of the Common Stock (if then traded on NASDAQ's National
Market
System) for the five consecutive trading days ending the day
prior to
the date as of which such computation is made.  If the
Common Stock
is not so traded, the current market price per share of
Common Stock
shall mean: (i) for purposes of Section 12 hereof, the fair
market
value per share as determined in good faith by or pursuant
to
directions provided by the Board of Directors of the
Company; and (ii)
for purposes of Section 10.1(b) hereof, an amount determined
by a
nationally recognized investment banking firm that is, in
the judgment
of the Board of Directors of the Company, disinterested and
independent with respect to the determination for which it
is being
retained.

               (d)  No adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares
purchasable hereunder shall be required unless such
adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the number
of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each
Warrant;
provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of
this
Section 10.1(d) are not required to be made shall be carried
forward
and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All
calculations
shall be made to the nearest one-thousandth of a share.

               (e)  Whenever the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable
upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as herein
provided, the
Warrant Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be
adjusted
by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such
adjustment
by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of
Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant
immediately prior
to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be
the number
of Warrant Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.

               (f)  For the purpose of this Section 10.1,
the term
"shares of Common Stock" shall mean (i) the class of stock
designated
as the Common Stock of the Company at the date of this
Agreement, or
(ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive
changes or
reclassification of such shares consisting solely of changes
in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par
value to par
value.  In the event that at any time, as a result of an
adjustment
made pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the Holders shall
become
entitled to purchase any shares of the Company other than
shares of
Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so
purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant
Price of
such shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
in a
manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to
the
provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in
Section
10.1(a) through Section 10.1(e), inclusive, above, and the
provisions
of Section 5 and Sections 10.2 and 10.3 hereof, with respect
to the
Warrant Shares, shall apply on like terms to any such other
shares.

          10.2 Voluntary Adjustment by the Company.  The
Company may
at its option, at any time during the term of the Warrants,
reduce the
then current Warrant Price to any amount deemed appropriate
by the
Board of Directors of the Company.

          10.3 Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the number of
Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant or the
Warrant
Price of such Warrant Shares is adjusted, as herein
provided, the
Company shall cause the Warrant Agent promptly to mail by
first class
mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder notice of such
adjustment or
adjustments and shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a
certificate of
a firm of independent public accountants selected by the
Board of
Directors of the Company (who may be the regular accountants
employed
by the Company) setting forth the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable
upon the exercise of each Warrant and the Warrant Price of
such
Warrant Shares after such adjustment, setting forth a brief
statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the
computation by which such adjustment was made.  Such
certificate shall
be conclusive of the correctness of such adjustment.  The
Warrant
Agent shall be entitled to rely on such certificate and
shall be under
no duty or responsibility with respect to any such
certificate, except
to exhibit the same, from time to time, to any Holder
desiring an
inspection thereof during reasonable business hours.  The
Warrant
Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any
Holders to determine whether any facts exist which may
require any
adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of Warrant
Shares or
other stock or property purchasable on exercise thereof, or
with
respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when
made, or
with respect to the method employed in making such
adjustment.

          10.4 No Adjustment for Dividends.  Except as
provided in
subsection 10.1, no adjustment in respect of any dividend
shall be
made during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a
Warrant.

          10.5 Preservation of Purchase Rights Upon
Consolidation,
etc.  In case of any consolidation of the Company with or
merger of
the Company into another corporation or in case of any sale
or
conveyance to another corporation of the property of the
Company as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company or
such
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, as
a
condition to the effectiveness of such transaction shall
execute with
the Warrant Agent an agreement that each Holder shall have
the right
thereafter upon payment of the Warrant Price in effect
immediately
prior to such action to purchase upon exercise of each
Warrant the
kind and amount of shares and other securities and property
which he
would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the
happening
of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had such
Warrant
been exercised immediately prior to such action.  The
Company shall
mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder,
notice of
the execution of any such agreement.  Such agreement shall
provide for
adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this Section 10.  The
provisions
of this Section 10.5 shall similarly apply to successive
consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.  The Warrant
Agent
shall be under no duty or responsibility to determine the
correctness
of any provisions contained in any such agreement relating
either to
the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or
property
receivable upon exercise of Warrants or with respect to the
method
employed and provided therein for any adjustments.

          10.6 Statement on Warrants.  Irrespective of any
adjustments
in the Warrant Price or the number or kind of shares
purchasable upon
the exercise of the Warrants, Warrant certificates
theretofore or
thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and
number
and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrant certificates
initially
issuable pursuant to this Agreement.

          SECTION 11.  Expiration of Warrants.  At 5:00 p.m.
E.S.T,
on December 31, 2000, all outstanding Warrants shall become
void and
all rights of all holders thereof and thereunder and under
this
Agreement shall cease.

          SECTION 12.  Fractional Interests.  The Company
shall not
be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the
exercise of
Warrants.  The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be
issuable
upon the exercise of Warrants shall be computed on the basis
of the
aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise
of the
Warrants so presented.  If any fraction of a Warrant Share
would,
except for the provisions of this Section 12, be issuable on
the
exercise of any Warrant (or specified portion thereof), the
Company
shall pay an amount in cash equal to the then current market
price per
Warrant Share (as defined in Section 10.1(c) above)
multiplied by such
fraction.

          SECTION 13.  No Rights as Stockholders; Notices to
Holders.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the
Warrants shall
be construed as conferring upon the Holders or their
transferees the
right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent to or
receive
notice as stockholders in respect of any meeting of
stockholders for
the election of directors of the Company or any other
matter, or any
rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company.  If,
however, at any
time prior to the expiration of the Warrants and prior to
their
exercise, any of the following events shall occur:

               (a)  the Company shall declare any dividend
payable in
any securities upon its shares of Common Stock or make any
distribution (other than a cash dividend payable from
retained
earnings or surplus) to the holders of its shares of Common
Stock or
effectuate any of the other transactions described in
Sections 10.1
(a) or 10.5 hereof;

               (b)  the Company shall offer or grant to the
holders
of its shares of Common Stock any additional shares of
Common Stock
or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of
Common
Stock or any right to subscribe thereto; or

               (c)  a dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the
Company (other than in connection with a consolidation,
merger, or
sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets,
and business
as an entirety) shall be proposed,

then in any one or more of said events, the Company shall
(a) give
notice in writing of such event to the Warrant Agent and the
Holders
as provided in Section 19 hereof and (b) cause notice of
such event
to be published once in The Wall Street Journal (National
Edition),
such giving of notice and publication to be completed at
least fifteen
days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of
closing
the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders
entitled
to such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or to
participate in any other transaction or event described in
Section
10.1(a), or for the determination of stockholders entitled
to vote on
such proposed dissolution, liquidation or winding up or
other
transaction or event described in Section 10.5.  Such notice
shall
specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer
books,
as the case may be.  Failure to publish or mail such notice
or any
defect therein or in the publication or mailing thereof
shall not
affect the validity of any action taken in connection with
such
dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or proposed
dissolution, liquidation or winding up or other transaction
or event.

          SECTION 14.  Disposition of Proceeds on Exercise
of
Warrants; Inspection of Warrant Agreement.  The Warrant
Agent shall
account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants
exercised and
concurrently pay the Company all monies received by the
Warrant Agent
for the purchase of the Warrant Shares through the exercise
of such
Warrants.

          The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this
Agreement and
any notices given or received hereunder available for
inspection by
the Holders during normal business hours at its principal
office in
New York, New York.  The Company shall supply the Warrant
Agent from
time to time with such numbers of copies of this Agreement
as the
Warrant Agent may request.

          SECTION 15.  Merger or Consolidation or Change of
Name of
Warrant Agent.  Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent
may be
merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation
resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the
Warrant Agent
shall be a party, shall be the successor to the Warrant
Agent
hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that
such
corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor
Warrant
Agent under the provisions of Section 17 hereof.  In case at
the time
such successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the
agency
created by this Agreement, any of the Warrants shall have
been
countersigned but not delivered, any such successor to the
Warrant
Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant
Agent and
deliver such Warrants so countersigned; and in case at that
time any
of the Warrants shall not have been countersigned, any
successor to
the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrants either in
the name of
the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the
successor Warrant
Agent; and in all such cases Warrants shall have the full
force
provided in the Warrants and in this Agreement.

          In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent
shall be
changed and at such time any of the Warrants shall have been
countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt
the
countersignatures under its prior name and deliver such
Warrants so
countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrants
shall not
have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign
such
Warrants either in its prior name or in its changed name;
and in all
such cases such Warrants shall have the full force provided
in the
Warrants and in this Agreement.

          SECTION 16.  Concerning the Warrant Agent.  The
Warrant
Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this
Agreement
upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the
Company
and the Holders, by their acceptance of Warrants, shall be
bound:

          16.1 Correctness of Statements.  The statements
contained
herein and in the Warrants shall be taken as statements of
the Company
and the Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility for the
correctness
of any of the same except such as describe the Warrant Agent
or action
taken by it.  The Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility
with respect
to the distribution of the Warrants except as herein
otherwise
provided.

          16.2 Breach of Covenants.  The Warrant Agent shall
not be
responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with
the
covenants contained in this Agreement or in the Warrants to
be
complied with by the Company.

          16.3 Performance of Duties.  The Warrant Agent may
execute
and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it
or
perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through
its
attorneys or agents (which shall not include its employees)
and shall
not be responsible for the misconduct of any agent appointed
with due
care.

          16.4 Reliance on Counsel.  The Warrant Agent may
consult at
any time with legal counsel satisfactory to it (who may be
counsel for
the Company) and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability
or
responsibility to the Company or to any Holder in respect of
any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good
faith and
in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such
counsel.

          16.5 Proof of Actions Taken.  Whenever in the
performance
of its duties under this Agreement the Warrant Agent shall
deem it
necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or
established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any
action
hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in
respect
thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed
conclusively
to be proved and established by a certificate signed by the
Chairman
of the Board, the President, any Executive Vice President,
the Chief
Financial Officer, any Vice President, the Treasurer or the
Secretary
of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such
certificate shall be full authorization to the Warrant Agent
for any
action taken or suffered in good faith by it under the
provisions of
this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate.

          16.6 Compensation.  The Company agrees to pay the
Warrant
Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by
the Warrant
Agent in the performance of its duties under this Agreement,
to
reimburse the Warrant Agent for all expenses, taxes (other
than taxes
based on income) and governmental charges and other charges
of any
kind and nature incurred by the Warrant Agent in the
performance of
its duties under this Agreement, and to indemnify the
Warrant Agent
and save it harmless against any and all liabilities,
including
judgments, costs and counsel fees, for anything done or
omitted by the
Warrant Agent in the performance of its duties under this
Agreement
except as a result of the Warrant Agent's negligence or bad
faith.

          16.7 Legal Proceedings.  The Warrant Agent shall
be under
no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal
proceeding or to
take any other action likely to involve expense unless the
Company or
one or more Holders shall furnish the Warrant Agent with
reasonable
security and indemnity for any costs and expenses which may
be
incurred, but this provision shall not affect the power of
the Warrant
Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider
proper,
whether with or without any such security or indemnity.  All
rights
of action under this Agreement or under any of the Warrants
may be
enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any
of the
Warrants or the production thereof at any trial or other
proceeding
relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding
instituted
by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant
Agent,
and any recovery of judgment (other than in respect of a
claim under
Section 16.6) shall be for the ratable benefit of the
Holders, as
their respective rights or interests may appear.

          16.8 Other Transactions in Securities of Company.
The
Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or
employee of
the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the
Warrants, or
other securities of the Company or have a pecuniary interest
in any
transaction in which the Company may be interested, or
contract with
the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though
it were not
Warrant Agent under this Agreement.  Nothing herein shall
preclude the
Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the
Company or for
any other legal entity.

          16.9 Liability of Warrant Agent.  The Warrant
Agent shall
act hereunder solely as agent, and its duties shall be
determined
solely by the provisions hereof.  The Warrant Agent shall
not be
liable for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in
connection with this Agreement except for its own negligence
or bad
faith.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding,
in no event shall the Warrant Agent be liable for special,
indirect
or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including but
not limited to lost profits), even if the Warrant Agent has
been
advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the
cause.

          16.10     Reliance on Documents.  The Warrant
Agent will not
incur any liability or responsibility to the Company or to
any Holder
for any action taken in reliance on any notice, resolution,
waiver,
consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or
instrument
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent
or presented by the proper party or parties.

          16.11     Validity of Agreement, etc.  The Warrant
Agent
shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the
validity of
this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except
the due
execution hereof by the Warrant Agent) or in respect of the
validity
or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature
thereof) or
in respect of the necessity or the extent of any adjustment
to the
Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
under a
Warrant; nor shall the Warrant Agent by any act hereunder be
deemed
to make any representation or warranty as to the
authorization,
reservation, value or registration under securities laws of
any
Warrant Shares (or other stock) to be issued pursuant to
this
Agreement or any Warrant, or as to whether any Warrant
Shares (or
other stock) will, when issued, be validly issued, fully
paid and
nonassessable, or as to the Warrant Price or the number or
amount of
Warrant Shares or other securities or other property
issuable upon
exercise of any Warrant or the method employed in making any
adjustment to the foregoing.

          16.12     Instructions from Company.  The Warrant
Agent is
hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with
respect to
the performance of its duties hereunder from the Chairman of
the
Board, the President, any Executive Vice President, the
Chief
Financial Officer, any Vice President, the Treasurer or the
Secretary
of the Company and to apply to such officers for advice or
instructions in connection with its duties, and shall not be
liable
for any action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good
faith in
accordance with instructions of any such officer or
officers.

          SECTION 17.  Change of Warrant Agent.  The Warrant
Agent may
resign and be discharged from its duties under this
Agreement by
giving to the Company sixty days' notice in writing.  The
Warrant
Agent may be removed by like notice to the Warrant Agent
from the
Company.  If the Warrant Agent shall resign or be removed or
shall
otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall
appoint a
successor to the Warrant Agent.  If the Company shall fail
to make
such appointment within a period of sixty days after such
removal or
after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or
incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent
or by any
Holder (who shall with such notice submit his Warrant for
inspection
by the Company), then any Holder may apply to any court of
competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor to the
Warrant Agent.
Any successor warrant agent, whether appointed by the
Company or such
a court, shall be a bank or trust company, in good standing,
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America
or any
state thereof and having at the time of its appointment as
warrant
agent a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000, or a
stock transfer company.  After appointment, the successor
warrant
agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties
and
responsibilities as if it had been originally named as
Warrant Agent
without further act or deed; but the former Warrant Agent
shall
deliver and transfer to the successor warrant agent any
property at
the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any
further
assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the
purpose.  Failure
to file any notice provided for in this Section 17, however,
or any
defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of
the
resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the
appointment of the
successor warrant agent, as the case may be.  In the event
of such
resignation or removal, the successor warrant agent shall
mail, first
class, to each Holder, written notice of such resignation or
removal
and the name and address of such successor warrant agent.

          SECTION 18.  Identity of Transfer Agent.
Forthwith upon the
appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Common
Stock, or
any other shares of the Company's capital stock issuable
upon the
exercise of the Warrants, the Company will file with the
Warrant Agent
a statement setting forth the name and address of such
subsequent
transfer agent.

          SECTION 19.  Notices.  Any notice pursuant to this
Agreement
by the Company or by any Holder to the Warrant Agent, or by
the
Warrant Agent or by any Holder to the Company, shall be in
writing and
shall be mailed first class, postage prepaid, or delivered
(a) to the
Company, at its offices at 300 First Stamford Place,
Stamford,
Connecticut 06912-0014 or (b) to the Warrant Agent, to
Chemical Bank,
450 West 33rd Street, 15th Floor, New York, New York  10001.
Each
party hereto may from time to time change the address to
which notices
to it are to be delivered or mailed hereunder by similar
notice in
writing to the other party.

          Any notice mailed pursuant to this Agreement by
the Company
or the Warrant Agent to the Holders shall be in writing and
shall be
mailed first class, postage prepaid, or delivered to such
Holders at
their respective addresses on the books of the Warrant
Agent.

          SECTION 20.  Supplements and Amendments.  The
Company and
the Warrant Agent may from time to time supplement or amend
this
Agreement, without the approval of any Holder in order to
cure any
ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision
contained herein
which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provision
herein, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters
or
questions arising hereunder which the Company and the
Warrant Agent
may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not be
inconsistent
with the provisions of the Warrants and which shall not
adversely
affect the interests of the Holders.  Any supplement or
amendment to
this Agreement which would adversely affect the interests of
the
Holders may be made by the Company and the Warrant Agent
only with the
written approval of the Holders of a majority of the
outstanding
Warrants and upon such approval, such supplement or
amendment shall
be binding on all Holders; provided, however, that no
supplement or
amendment that reduces the term of the Warrants set forth in
Section
5.1, increases the Warrant Price (except for adjustments
pursuant to
Section 10 hereof), or affects the provisions of Section 10
hereof
shall be effective with respect to any Warrant without the
written
consent of the Holder of such Warrant.

          SECTION 21.  Successors.  All the covenants and
provisions
of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company or
the Warrant
Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective
successors and assigns hereunder.

          SECTION 22.  Merger or Consolidation of the
Company.  The
Company will not merge or consolidate with or into any other
corporation unless the corporation resulting from such
merger or
consolidation (if not the Company) shall expressly assume,
by
supplemental agreement satisfactory in form to the Warrant
Agent and
executed by such resulting corporation and delivered to the
Warrant
Agent, the due and punctual performance and observance of
each and
every covenant and condition of this Agreement to be
performed and
observed by the Company.

          SECTION 23.  Applicable Law. This Agreement and
each Warrant
issued hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to any
principles of conflicts of law.

          SECTION 24.  Benefits of this Agreement.  Nothing
in this
Agreement shall be construed to give any person or
corporation other
than the Company, the Warrant Agent, and the Holders any
legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; but
this
Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Company,
the Warrant Agent and the Holders of the Warrants.

          SECTION 25.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be
executed
in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts
shall for
all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such
counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

          SECTION 26.  Captions.  The captions of the
Sections and
subsections of this Agreement have been inserted for
convenience only
and shall not be deemed part of or used in the construction
of this
Agreement.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have
executed this
Agreement as of the date first above written.

Warrants. This
Warrant is transferable at the office of the Warrant Agent
in New
York, New York in the manner and subject to the limitations
set forth
in the Warrant Agreement.

          The Holder hereof, until his or her transfer has

entitled
to exercise the rights represented hereby, or to the
transfer hereof
on the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary
notwithstanding.

          This Warrant does not entitle any Holder hereof to

        SECTION 3.  Revolving Loans

        3.1  Determination of Revolving Loans; Notices.  The
Lender
agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Financing
Agreement from time to time, but subject to the Lender's
right to
make "overadvances", to make loans and advances to the
Companies on
a revolving basis (i.e. subject to the limitations set forth
herein, the Companies may borrow, repay and re-borrow
Revolving
Loans).  The aggregate amount of such loans and advances
shall be
in amounts up to the lesser of (a) the Line of Credit and
(b) the
Borrowing Base then in effect, provided that the Lender
shall not
be required to make any Revolving Loan in an amount in
excess of
the Availability then in effect.  Whenever a Company desires
to
borrow, an Executive Officer or the cash manager of LSI
shall
provide written or telephonic notice to the Lender of such
proposed
borrowing, each such notice to be given (i) not later than
12:00
noon (New York City time) on the date of such proposed
borrowing,
in the case of a borrowing consisting of Chemical Bank Rate
Loans,
and (ii) not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on
the
third Business Day before the date of such borrowing, in the
case
of a borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Loans, setting
forth:  (a)
the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which such
borrowing is
to occur, (b) whether such Revolving Loan is requested to be
a
Chemical Bank Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan and, if a
Eurodollar
Loan, the Interest Period requested with respect thereto,
(c) the
principal amount of the Revolving Loan being borrowed, which
shall
be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in multiples of
$250,000
in excess thereof in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and (d)
the
account information where such Revolving Loan is to be
received.
Should the Lender for any reason honor requests for loans or
advances in excess of the limitations set forth herein, such
advances shall be considered "overadvances" and shall be
made in
the Lender's sole discretion, subject to any additional
terms the
Lender deems necessary.  All Revolving Loans shall be due
and
jointly and severally payable by the Companies on the
Termination
Date.

        3.2  Security Interest in Accounts.  In furtherance
of the
continuing assignment and security interest in the
Companies'
Accounts, upon the Lender's request and, in any event, after
the
occurrence of the Minimum Availability Trigger Date, the
Companies
will, upon the creation of Accounts, execute and deliver to
the
Lender on a daily basis in such form and manner as the
Lender may
reasonably require, solely for the Lender's convenience in
maintaining records of Collateral, such confirmatory
schedules of
Accounts as the Lender may reasonably request, and such
other
appropriate reports designating, identifying and describing
the
Accounts as the Lender may reasonably require.  In addition,
upon
the Lender's request, the Companies shall provide the Lender
with
copies of agreements with, or purchase orders from, the
Companies'
customers, and copies of invoices to customers, proof of
shipment
or delivery and such other documentation and information
relating
to said Accounts and other Collateral as the Lender may
reasonably
require.  Failure to provide the Lender with any of the
foregoing
shall in no way affect, diminish, modify or otherwise limit
the
security interests granted herein.  The Companies hereby
authorize
the Lender to regard the Companies' printed name or rubber
stamp
signature on assignment schedules or invoices as the
equivalent of
a manual signature by one of the Companies' authorized
officers or
agents.

        3.3  Representations and Warranties Regarding
Accounts. Each
Company hereby represents and warrants with respect to its
Accounts
that:  each Account is based on an actual and bona fide sale
and
delivery of goods or rendition of services to customers made
by
such Company in the ordinary course of its business; the
goods and
Inventory being sold and the Accounts created are the
exclusive
property of such Company and are not and shall not be
subject to
any lien, consignment arrangement, encumbrance, security
interest
or financing statement whatsoever, other than the Permitted
Encumbrances; the invoices evidencing such Accounts are in
the name
of such Company or any tradename identified on Schedule 6.9
hereto;
and the customers of such Company have accepted the goods or
services, owe and are obligated to pay the full amounts
stated in
the invoices according to their terms, without dispute,
offset,
defense, counterclaim or contra, except for disputes and
other
matters arising in the ordinary course of business of which
such
Company has advised the Lender pursuant to Section 3.5.
Each
Company confirms to the Lender that any and all taxes or
fees
relating to its business, its sales, its Accounts or goods
relating
thereto, are its sole responsibility and that same will be
paid by
such Company when due unless being contested by such Company
in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and that none of said
taxes
or fees represent a lien on or claim against its Accounts
for an
amount in excess of $35,000 in the aggregate for all such
liens and
claims.  Each Company also warrants and represents that it
is a
duly and validly existing corporation and is qualified in
all
states where the failure to so qualify would have a Material
Adverse Effect or adversely affect the ability of such
Company to
enforce collection of its Accounts due from customers
residing in
that state.  Each Company agrees to maintain such books and
records
regarding its Accounts as the Lender may reasonably require
and
agrees that the books and records of such Company will
reflect the
Lender's interest in its Accounts.  All of the books and
records of
each Company will be available to the Lender at normal
business
hours, including any records handled or maintained for a
Company by
any other company or entity.

        3.4  Collection of Accounts.  (a) On or prior to
June 1,
1994, LSI and Trap Rock shall (i) establish, and shall,
during the
term of this Financing Agreement, maintain, lockboxes in the
name
of the Lender identified on Schedule 6.16 hereto
(collectively, the
"Lockboxes") with the financial institutions set forth in
Schedule
6.16 or such other financial institutions selected by LSI
and
acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion (each being
referred to as a "Lockbox Bank"), (ii) establish, and shall,
during
the term of this Financing Agreement, maintain, an account
(a
"Collection Account" and, collectively, the "Collection
Accounts")
in the name of the Lender with each Lockbox Bank, and (iii)
in the
case of the facilities and other operations of LSI set forth
in
Schedule 3.4(A) hereto (the "Ready Mix Facilities"),
establish, and
shall, during the term of this Financing Agreement maintain,
for
each Ready Mix Facility a blocked depository account in the
name of
LSI (a "Depository Account") with the financial institutions
set
forth in Schedule 6.16 or such other financial institutions
selected by LSI and acceptable to the Lender in its sole
discretion
(each being referred to as a "Depository Bank") for the
collection
of the proceeds of Accounts, Inventory and other Collateral
arising
from or related to such Ready Mix Facility.  Each Company
shall
irrevocably instruct its account debtors, other than (A)
account
debtors which prior to the execution of this Financing
Agreement
have remitted all payments directly to such Company and (B)
account
debtors arising from or related to a Ready Mix Facility, to
remit
all payments to be made by checks or other drafts to the
Lockboxes
and to remit all payments to be made by wire transfer or by
Automated Clearing House, Inc. payments to be made directly
to the
Collection Accounts and shall instruct each Lockbox Bank to
deposit
all amounts received in its Lockbox to the Collection
Account at
such Lockbox Bank.  Until the Lender has advised LSI to the
contrary after the earlier of (i) the occurrence of an Event
of
Default and (ii) the occurrence of a Minimum Availability
Trigger
Date, and subject to Section 3.4(b), each Company may and
will
enforce, collect and receive all amounts owing on its
Accounts for
the Lender's benefit and on the Lender's behalf, but at such
Company's expense; such privilege shall terminate, at the
election
of the Lender, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
or a
Minimum Availability Trigger Date.  All checks, drafts,
notes,
money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of
Indebtedness
received directly by a Company from any account debtor, as
proceeds
from Accounts, proceeds of the sale of Inventory of such
Company or
as proceeds of any other Collateral, whether in connection
with a
Ready Mix Facility or otherwise, shall be held by such
Company in
trust for the Lender and upon receipt be deposited by such
Company
in original form and on the date of receipt thereof into a
Collection Account, a Depository Account or to account
number -
03047170 maintained and owned by the Lender at NationsBank
N.A. or
another bank acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion
(the
"CIT Concentration Account").  The Companies shall not
commingle
such collections with the Companies' own funds or with the
proceeds
of any assets not included in the Collateral or use the same
for
any other purposes.

        (b)  As a matter of administrative convenience, the
Lender
shall transmit all "collected funds" in the CIT
Concentration
Account on the Business Day of receipt to account number
11023131
maintained in the name of LSI at NationsBank N.A. or another
bank
acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion (the
"Operating
Account") if received no later than 1:00 p.m., New York time
on
such Business Day; provided, that, (i) after the occurrence
and
during the continuance of an Event of Default or (ii) after
the
occurrence of a Minimum Availability Trigger Date, then,
upon
notice by the Lender, (x) all funds received in the CIT
Concentration Account shall be applied at the end of each
Business
Day to reduce the then principal balance of the Revolving
Loans,
and (y) each Company's right to enforce, collect and receive
any
amounts owing on the Accounts shall terminate immediately
upon
notice by the Lender.  No checks, drafts or other instrument
received by the Lender shall constitute final payment to the
Lender
unless and until such instruments have actually been
collected.

        (c)  Each Company, the Lender and each Lockbox Bank
shall
enter into a three-party agreement substantially in the form
of
Exhibit D (the "Lockbox Agreement"), providing, among other
things,
for the following upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set
forth in the Lockbox Agreement:  (A) all receipts received
in the
Lockboxes shall be deposited on the day of receipt by the
Lockbox
Bank in the Collection Account maintained at such Lockbox
Bank and
(B) all amounts deposited in the Collection Accounts,
whether from
the Lockboxes or directly from account debtors, shall
immediately
upon becoming good funds be transmitted to the CIT
Concentration
Account.  LSI, the Lender and each Depository Bank shall
enter into
a three-party agreement, substantially in the form of
Exhibit F
(the "Depository Account Agreement"), providing for, among
other
things, that, subject to the conditions set forth in the
Depository
Agreement, all amounts deposited in the Depository Account
shall
immediately upon becoming good funds be transmitted to the
CIT
Concentration Account.  Each Company, the Lender and
NationsBank
N.A. shall enter into a three-party agreement substantially
in the
form of Exhibit E (the "Blocked Account Agreement")
providing,
among other things, for the application of funds in the CIT
Concentration Account as provided in Section 3.4(b).

        (d)  At the election of the Lender, upon (i) the
occurrence
of any Event of Default or (ii) after the occurrence of a
Minimum
Availability Trigger Date, all account debtors of each
Company
shall be instructed to remit all payments directly to the
Lender,
the Lockbox Accounts, the Depository Accounts or the
Collection
Accounts.

        3.5  Account Notices.  Each Company agrees to notify
the
Lender promptly of any matters materially affecting the
value,
enforceability or collectibility of any Account and of all
material
customer disputes, offsets, defenses, counterclaims,
returns,
rejections and all reclaimed or repossessed merchandise or
goods.
Each Company agrees to issue credit memoranda promptly (with
duplicates to the Lender upon request) upon accepting
returns or
granting allowances, and may continue to do so until the
Lender has
notified LSI that an Event of Default has occurred and that
all
future credits or allowances are to be made only after the
Lender's
prior written approval.

        3.6  Accounting for Payments.  The Lender shall
maintain a
joint account on its books in the Companies' names in which
the
Company will be charged with loans and advances made by the
Lender
to them or for their account, and with any other
Obligations,
including any and all costs, expenses and attorney's fees
which the
Lender may incur in connection with the exercise by or for
the
Lender of any of the rights or powers herein conferred upon
the
Lender, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or
proceeding to enforce or protect any rights of the Lender in
connection with this Financing Agreement, the other Loan
Documents
or the Collateral assigned hereunder, or any Obligations
owing to
the Lender by the Companies.  It is expressly understood and
agreed
by LSI and Trap Rock that the Lender shall have no
responsibility
to inquire into the correctness of the apportionment,
allocation or
disposition of the Revolving Loans made to LSI and/or Trap
Rock or
any fees, costs or expenses for which LSI and Trap Rock are
jointly
and severally obligated under this Financing Agreement.  In
no
event shall prior recourse to any Accounts, Inventory or
other
security granted to or by the Companies be a prerequisite to
the
Lender's right to demand payment of any Obligation.
Further, it is
understood that the Lender shall have no obligation
whatsoever to
perform in any respect any of the Companies' contracts or
obligations relating to the Accounts.

        3.7  Monthly Statements.  After the end of each
month, the
Lender shall promptly send LSI a statement showing the
accounting
for the charges, loans, advances and other transactions
occurring
between the Lender and the Companies during that month.  The
monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon
the
Companies and shall constitute an account stated between the
Companies and the Lender unless the Lender receives a
written
statement of the exceptions within thirty (30) days of the
date of
the monthly statement and then only the items expressly
excepted
shall be deemed disputed.

        3.8  Prepayments; Termination of Commitment.  (a)
If at any
time the Availability of the Companies is not greater than
zero and
any Revolving Loans are outstanding to the Companies or, any
Letters of Credit are outstanding, then, an amount equal to
the
lesser of the amount of Revolving Loans outstanding to the
Companies or the amount which will result in such
Availability
becoming greater than zero shall be immediately prepaid
jointly and
severally by the Companies to the Lender and, if after the
Revolving Loans made to the Companies have all been prepaid
and
such Availability has not become greater than zero, there
shall be
pledged and delivered to the Lender cash in an amount equal
to 105%
of the undrawn and unreimbursed amount of all Letters of
Credit.
Any amounts of cash pledged and delivered to the Lender
under this
Section 3.8 shall be held by the Lender in a demand deposit
account
in the Lender's name at a bank selected by the Lender with
interest
accruing for the benefit of the Companies and added to the
cash
collateral or used to reduce the Obligations, and shall be
repaid
to the Companies on request on any Business Day on which
both (i)
the Companies have Availability that is greater than zero
and (ii)
an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing.

        (b)  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Lender
may, upon written notice to LSI, terminate the Line of
Credit.

        (c)  Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.1(e)
and 11,
the Companies may prepay the Obligations, in whole or in
part, at
any time without premium or penalty.

        SECTION 4.  Letters of Credit

        In order to assist LSI in establishing or opening
Letters of
Credit with an Issuing Bank, LSI has requested the Lender to
join
in the applications for such Letters of Credit, and/or
guarantee
payment or performance of such Letters of Credit and any
drafts or
acceptances thereunder through the issuance of the Letters
of
Credit Guaranty, thereby lending the Lender's credit to LSI
and the
Lender has agreed to do so.  These arrangements shall be
handled by
the Lender subject to the terms and conditions set forth
below.

        4.1  Issuance of Letters of Credit.  The amount,
purpose and
extent of the Letters of Credit and changes or modifications
thereof by LSI and/or the Issuing Bank of the terms and
conditions
thereof shall in all respects be subject to the prior
approval of
the Lender in the exercise of its reasonable discretion
provided
however, that the purpose of any Letter of Credit shall be
deemed
to be acceptable to the Lender if such purpose is consistent
with
the ordinary course of business of LSI consistent with past
practice and:

        (a)  in no event may the aggregate undrawn and
unreimbursed
amount of all such outstanding Letters of Credit exceed at
any one
time $5,000,000,

        (b)  the aggregate undrawn and unreimbursed amount
of all
outstanding Letters of Credit issued on behalf of LSI, plus
the
aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans made to
the
Companies, may not, at any time, exceed the lesser of (x)
the Line
of Credit and (y) the Borrowing Base then in effect; and

        (c)  the Letters of Credit and all documentation in
connection therewith shall be in form and substance
satisfactory to
LSI, the Lender and the Issuing Bank.

        4.2  Letters of Credit Guaranty.  The Lender shall
have the
right, without notice to LSI, to charge the Companies'
account on
the Lender's books, without duplication, with the amount of
any and
all indebtedness, liability or obligation of any kind
incurred by
the Lender under the Letters of Credit Guaranty at the
earlier of
(a) payment by the Lender under the Letters of Credit
Guaranty, or
(b) the occurrence of an Event of Default.  Any amount
charged to
Companies' loan account shall be deemed a Revolving Loan
hereunder
and shall accrue interest at the rate provided in Section
8.1(a)(i)
of this Financing Agreement.

        4.3  Indemnification.  LSI unconditionally
indemnifies the
Lender and holds it harmless from any and all loss, claim or
liability incurred by it arising from any transactions or
occurrences relating to Letters of Credit established or
opened for
LSI's account, the Collateral relating thereto and any
drafts or
acceptances thereunder, and all Obligations thereunder,
including
any such loss or claim due to any action taken by any
Issuing Bank,
other than for any such loss, claim or liability arising out
of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Lender under
the
Letter of Credit Guaranty.  LSI further agrees to hold the
Lender
harmless from any errors or omission, negligence or
misconduct by
the Issuing Bank.  LSI's unconditional obligation to the
Lender
hereunder shall not be modified or diminished for any reason
or in
any manner whatsoever, other than as a result of the
Lender's gross
negligence or willful misconduct.  LSI agrees that any
charges
incurred by the Lender for LSI's account by the Issuing Bank
shall
be conclusive on the Lender absent manifest error and may be
charged to LSI's account.

        4.4  Disclaimers.  The Lender shall not be
responsible for:
the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition,
packing,
value or delivery of the goods purporting to be represented
by any
documents; any difference or variation in the character,
quality,
quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of the goods
from
that expressed in the documents; the validity, sufficiency
or
genuineness of any documents or of any endorsements thereon,
even
if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects
invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; the time,
place,
manner or order in which shipment is made; partial or
incomplete
shipment, or failure or omission to ship any or all of the
goods
referred to in the Letters of Credit or documents; any
deviation
from instructions; delay, default, or fraud by the shipper
and/or
anyone else in connection with the Collateral or the
shipping
thereof; or any breach of contract between the shipper or
vendors
and LSI.  Furthermore, without being limited by the
foregoing, the
Lender shall not be responsible for any act or omission,
other than
the Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct, with
respect
to or in connection with any Collateral.

        4.5  Actions with respect to Letters of Credit.  LSI
agrees
that any action taken by the Lender, if taken in good faith,
or any
action taken by any Issuing Bank, under or in connection
with the
Letters of Credit, the guarantees, the drafts or
acceptances, or
the Collateral, shall be binding on LSI and shall not put
the
Lender in any resulting liability to LSI in the absence of
gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender.  In
furtherance
thereof, the Lender shall have the full right and authority
to
clear and resolve any questions of non-compliance of
documents; to
give any instructions as to acceptance or rejection of any
documents or goods; to execute any and all steamship or
airway
guaranties (and applications therefore), indemnities or
delivery
orders; to grant any extensions of the maturity of, time of
payment
for, or time of presentation of, any drafts, acceptances, or
documents; and to agree to any amendments, renewals,
extensions,
modifications, changes or cancellations of any of the terms
or
conditions of any of the applications, Letters of Credit,
drafts or
acceptances; all in the Lender's sole name, and the Issuing
Bank
shall be entitled to comply with and honor any and all such
documents or instruments executed by or received solely from
the
Lender, all without any notice to or any consent from LSI.

        4.6  Resolutions with respect to Letters of Credit.
Without
the Lender's express consent and endorsement in writing, LSI
agrees: (a) not to execute any and all applications for
steamship
or airway guaranties, indemnities or delivery orders; to
grant any
extensions of the maturity of, time of payment for, or time
of
presentation of, any drafts, acceptances or documents; or to
agree
to any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications,
changes or
cancellations of any of the terms or conditions of any of
the
applications, Letters of Credit, drafts or acceptances; and
(b)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is not
cured or
waived by the Lender, not to (i) clear and resolve any
questions of
non-compliance of documents, or (ii) give any instructions
as to
acceptances or rejection of any documents or goods.

        4.7  Licenses; Taxes.  LSI agrees that any necessary
import,
export or other licenses or certificates for the import or
handling
of the Collateral will have been promptly procured; all
foreign and
domestic governmental laws and regulations in regard to the
shipment and importation of the Collateral, or the financing
thereof will have been promptly and fully complied with
except
where the failure to so comply could not have a Material
Adverse
Effect; and any certificates in that regard that the Lender
may at
any time reasonably request will be promptly furnished.  In
this
connection, LSI warrants and represents that all shipments
made
under any such Letters of Credit are in accordance with the
laws
and regulations of the countries in which the shipments
originate
and terminate, and are not prohibited by any such laws and
regulations.  LSI assumes all risk, liability and
responsibility
for, and agrees to pay and discharge, all present and future
local,
state, federal or foreign taxes, duties, or levies in
connection
with such shipments.  Any embargo, restriction, laws,
customs or
regulations of any country, state, city, or other political
subdivision, where the Collateral is or may be located, or
wherein
payments are to be made, or wherein drafts may be drawn,
negotiated, accepted, or paid, shall be solely LSI's risk,
liability and responsibility.

        4.8  Subrogation.  Upon any payments made to the
Issuing
Bank under the Letter of Credit Guaranty, the Lender shall
acquire
by subrogation, any rights, remedies, duties or obligations
granted
or undertaken by LSI to the Issuing Bank in any application
for
Letters of Credit, any standing agreement relating to
Letters of
Credit or otherwise, all of which shall be deemed to have
been
granted to the Lender and apply in all respects to the
Lender and
shall be in addition to any rights, remedies, duties or
obligations
contained herein.

        SECTION 5.  Collateral

        5.1  Grant of Collateral.  As security for the
prompt
payment in full of all loans and advances made and to be
made to
the Companies from time to time by the Lender pursuant
hereto, as
well as to secure the payment in full of all reimbursement
obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and all other
Obligations, the Companies hereby pledge and grant to the
Lender a
continuing general lien upon and security interest in all of
their:

        (a)  present and hereafter acquired Inventory;

        (b)  present and future Accounts;

        (c)  present and future Documents of Title; and

        (d)  present and future General Intangibles, other
than (i)
all patents and copyrights of LSI and its Subsidiaries, (ii)
the
trademarks directly related to the Pyrament division of LSI,
(iii)
all contracts and marketing agreements directly relating to
the
operation of LSI's facility located in Oglesby, Illinois,
(iv)
LSI's interest in the Kosmos Partnership, (v) the proceeds
of
insurance policies covering fixed assets to the extent such
proceeds do not arise from or relate to any Collateral, and
(vi)
LSI's interest in the lease for real property related to its
Pennsuco cement plant.

        5.2  Description.  The security interests granted
hereunder
shall extend and attach to:

        (a)  All Collateral which is presently in existence
and
which is owned by a Company or in which a Company has any
interest,
whether held by a Company or others for its account;

        (b)  All Inventory and any portion thereof which may
be
returned, rejected, reclaimed or repossessed by either the
Lender
or a Company from such Company's customers, as well as to
all
supplies, goods, incidentals, packaging materials, labels
and any
other items which contribute to the finished goods or
products
manufactured or processed by such Company, or to the sale,
promotion or shipment thereof.

        5.3  Disposition of Collateral.  Each Company agrees
to
safeguard, protect and hold all Inventory for the Lender's
account
and make no disposition thereof except in the regular course
of the
business of such Company as herein provided.  Until the
Lender has
given a Company notice to the contrary, as provided for
below, any
Inventory may be sold and shipped by such Company to its
customers
in the ordinary course of such Company's business, on open
account
and on terms currently being extended by such Company to its
customers or on other standard industry terms, provided that
all
proceeds of sale constituting cash, checks and other similar
proceeds are transferred, endorsed and turned over and
delivered
pursuant to the terms of Section 3.4.  The Lender shall have
the
right to withdraw this permission at any time upon the
occurrence
of an Event of Default and until such time as such Event of
Default
is waived or cured to the Lender's satisfaction, in which
event no
further disposition shall be made of the Inventory by such
Company
without the Lender's prior written approval.  Cash sales or
sales
of Inventory in which a lien upon, or security interest in,
Inventory is retained by a Company shall be made by such
Company
only with the approval of the Lender, and the proceeds of
such
sales or sales of Inventory for cash shall not be commingled
with
such Company's other property, but shall be segregated, held
by
such Company in trust for the Lender as the Lender's
exclusive
property, and shall be delivered immediately by such Company
to the
Lender in the identical form received by such Company by
deposit to
a Lockbox Account, a Depository Account or a Collection
Account.
Upon the sale, exchange, or other disposition of Inventory,
as
herein provided, the security interest in each Company's
Inventory
provided for herein shall, without break in continuity and
without
further formality or act, continue in, and attach to, all
proceeds,
including any instruments for the payment of money, accounts
receivable, contract rights, documents of title, shipping
documents, chattel paper and all other cash and non-cash
proceeds
of such sale, exchange or disposition.  As to any such sale,
exchange or other disposition, the Lender shall have all of
the
rights of an unpaid seller, including stoppage in transit,
replevin, rescission and reclamation.

        5.4  Survival of Security Interest.  Subject to
Sections 11
and 12.13 of this Financing Agreement, the rights and
security
interests granted to the Lender hereunder are to continue in
full
force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this
Financing
Agreement or the fact that the account maintained in the
Companies'
names on the books of the Lender may from time to time be
temporarily in a credit position, until the final payment in
full
to the Lender of all Obligations and the termination of this
Financing Agreement.  Any delay, or omission by the Lender
to
exercise any right hereunder, shall not be deemed a waiver
thereof,
or be deemed a waiver of any other right, unless such waiver
shall
be in writing and signed by the Lender.  A waiver on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any
right
or remedy on any future occasion.

        5.5  Remedies.  To the extent that the Obligations
are now
or hereafter secured by any assets or property other than
the
Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement, assets or
property of
any other Person, then the Lender shall have the right in
its sole
discretion to determine which rights, security, liens,
security
interests or remedies the Lender shall at any time pursue,
foreclose upon, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any
other
action with respect to, without in any way modifying or
affecting
any of them, or any of the Lender's rights hereunder.

        5.6  Other Liens Held as Collateral.  Any reserves
or
balances to the credit of the Companies and any other
property or
assets of the Companies in the possession of the Lender may
be held
by the Lender as security for any Obligations and applied in
whole
or partial satisfaction of such Obligations when due.  The
liens
and security interests granted herein and any other lien or
security interest the Lender may have in any other assets of
the
Companies, shall secure payment and performance of all now
existing
and future Obligations except if this Financing Agreement is
terminated pursuant to the terms of Section 11 hereof.  The
Lender
may in its discretion charge any or all of the Obligations
to the
account of the Companies when due.

        SECTION 6.    Representations and Warranties

        Each Company hereby represents and warrants to the
Lender on
the Effective Date and each time thereafter as required by
the
terms of this Financing Agreement that:

Subsidiaries (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its
incorporation; (b) is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation and
in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in

failure so to qualify has a reasonable likelihood of having
a
Material Adverse Effect; (c) has all requisite corporate

operate
its properties, to lease the property it operates under
lease and
to conduct its business as now or currently proposed to be

incorporation and by-laws; (e) is in compliance with all
other
applicable requirements of law except such noncompliance as

necessary
licenses, permits, consents or approvals from or by, has
made all
necessary filings with, and has given all necessary notices
to,
each Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, to the
extent
required for such ownership, operation and conduct, except
for
licenses, permits, consents or approvals which can be
obtained by
the taking of ministerial action to secure the grant or
transfer
thereof or which the failure to have would have no
reasonable
likelihood of having, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material
Adverse Effect.

        6.2  Power; Authority; Consents.  (a)  The
execution,
delivery and performance by each Company of this Financing
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Related

   as would have no reasonable likelihood of having,
individually or
   in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (C) conflict
with or
   result in the breach of, or constitute a default under,
or result
   in or permit the termination or acceleration of, any
contractual
   obligation of such Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
which
   conflict, breach or default could have a Material Adverse
Effect,
   or (D) result in the creation or imposition of any lien
upon any
   of the property of such Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, other
   than those in favor of the Lender and those described in
clauses
   (vi), (vii) and (viii) of the definition of the term
Permitted
   Encumbrances; and

             (iv) do not require the consent, authorization
by, or
   approval of, or notice to, or filing or registration
with, any
   Governmental Authority or any other Person, other than
those
   which have been obtained or made and copies, in the case
of those
   involving a Governmental Authority, of which have been or
will be
   delivered to the Lender pursuant to this Financing
Agreement,
   each of which is in full force and effect.

        (b)  This Financing Agreement and the other Loan
Documents
have been duly executed and delivered by each Company.  This
Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which
either of
the Companies is a party are the legal, valid and binding
obligation of each such Person, enforceable against such
Person in
accordance with their terms.

        6.3  Full Disclosure.  (a)  No written statement
prepared or
furnished by or on behalf of LSI or any of its Subsidiaries
in
connection with this Financing Agreement, the other Loan
Documents
or the Related Documents or the consummation of the
transactions
contemplated thereby, and the Financial Statements delivered
pursuant hereto or thereto, taken as a whole, contain any
untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact
necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein
not
misleading in light of the circumstances under which any
such
statement was made.  There is no fact known to LSI which is
material to the financial condition, business, properties or
prospects of LSI and its Subsidiaries taken as one
enterprise or an
understanding thereof and which has not been disclosed to
the
Lender.

        (b)  LSI has delivered to the Lender a true,
complete and
correct copy of the Disclosure Statement.  The Disclosure
Statement, as of the date it was distributed to the
creditors, at
the time of the creditor vote pursuant thereto, and as of
the
Effective Time, did not contain any untrue statement of a
material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order
to make
the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under
which they were made, not misleading.

        (c)  The pro forma Consolidated Statements of
financial
condition and pro forma Consolidated Statements of
operations of
LSI and its Consolidated Subsidiaries delivered to the
Lender prior
to the Effective Date are the unaudited consolidated
financial
statements of LSI and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, as of
the
dates and for the periods specified therein, adjusted to
give
effect to the Reorganization, any financing thereof and
certain
other events and assumptions as set forth therein.  Such pro
forma
financial statements (including any related schedules and
notes)
have been prepared on the basis of the statements and
assumptions
set forth in the respective notes thereto contained in the
Disclosure Statement and the projections and assumptions
expressed
therein were reasonably based on the information available
to LSI
at the time so furnished.

        (d)  The Plan of Reorganization has been confirmed
pursuant
to the Confirmation Order and the Confirmation Order has
become a
Final Order.

        (e)  The Confirmation Order is binding and effective
on the
holders of all Claims and Stock Interests (each as defined
in the
Plan of Reorganization).

        (f)  The Bankruptcy Court has approved the Employee
Settlement Agreements pursuant to Final Orders.

        6.4  Margin Regulations.  (a)  No proceeds of any
Borrowing
will be used to acquire any equity security of a class which
is
registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange
Act of
1934, as amended.

        (b)  LSI and its Subsidiaries are not engaged in the
business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing
or
carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U
issued by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and
no
proceeds of any borrowing made hereunder will be used to
purchase
or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for
the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock.

        6.5  Related Documents.  Since the Effective Date,
(i) none
of the Related Documents has been amended or modified in any
respect (excluding any amendment or modification to the
Settlement
Agreement with the Official Committee of Retired Employees
increasing the payments by LSI with respect to post-
retirement
welfare obligations resulting from the additional coverage
of non-
union hourly employees retiring prior to December 31, 1992
and non-
union salaried and non-union hourly employees retiring after
December 31, 1992 and prior to the Effective Date) and no
provision
therein has been waived without the written consent of the
Lender
in accordance with the provisions hereof other than
amendments,
modifications and waivers that do not increase any
Indebtedness or
other obligations of LSI or its Subsidiaries thereunder, do
not
provide for more restrictive terms and conditions to LSI or
its
Subsidiaries and are not adverse to the interests of the
Lender,
(ii) each of the representations and warranties of LSI
and/or its
Subsidiaries therein are true and correct in all material
respects
as of each date each such representation or warranty is
made, and
(iii) no default or event which with the giving of notice or
lapse
of time or both would be a default has occurred thereunder.

        6.6  Compliance with Bankruptcy Code.  Each of the
Debtors
has complied in all material respects with the Bankruptcy
Code, and
all other laws, rules, regulations, decrees and orders
applicable
to or arising out of the Reorganization.  All lists of
creditors
and shareholders, schedules, statements of affairs and
financial
reports filed by the Debtors with the Bankruptcy Court and
all
representations, warranties or disclosures of the Debtors
made in
connection with the Reorganization are complete and accurate
in all
material respects.  Notice has been given to all holders of
Claims
and Stock Interests as required by the Bankruptcy Code and
as was
directed by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the
hearings on
the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan of
Reorganization except for any failure to give such notice
which,
together with all other failures, could not have a Material
Adverse
Effect.

        6.7  Solvency.  Each of the Companies hereby
represents and
warrants that after giving effect to the agreements and
transactions that the Plan of Reorganization provides for on
the
Effective Date:  (i) the fair value of the assets of LSI and
its
Consolidated Subsidiaries exceeds the book value of the
liabilities
of LSI and its Consolidated Subsidiaries; (ii) LSI and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries are generally able to pay their
debts as
they become due and payable; and (iii) LSI and its
Consolidated
Subsidiaries do not have unreasonably small capital to carry
on
their businesses as they are currently conducted absent
extraordinary and unforeseen circumstances.

        6.8  Priority; Title.  Each Company warrants and
represents
that except for the Permitted Encumbrances, the security
interests
granted herein constitute and shall at all times constitute
the
first and only liens on the Collateral; that, except for the
Permitted Encumbrances, each Company is or will be at the
time
additional Collateral is acquired by it, the absolute owner
of the
Collateral with full right to pledge, sell, consign,
transfer and
create a security interest therein, free and clear of any
and all
claims or liens in favor of others; that no Person has any
right of
first refusal, option or other preferential right to
purchase any
Collateral or improvements thereto; that each Company will
at its
expense forever warrant and, at the Lender's request, defend
the
same from any and all claims and demands of any other Person
other
than the Permitted Encumbrances; that each Company will not
grant,
create or permit to exist, any lien upon or security
interest in
the Collateral, or any proceeds thereof, in favor of any
other
Person other than the holders of the Permitted Encumbrances.
Each
Company has good and marketable title to all its property,
including, without limitation, the Core Assets and all other
property reflected in the Financial Statements, other than
properties disposed of in any manner otherwise permitted
under this
Financing Agreement.

        6.9  Trade Names.  Each Company hereby represents
and
warrants that, except as set forth on the Schedule 6.9
hereto, such
Company does not use any other business or trade names.

        6.10  Subsidiaries.  LSI hereby represents and
warrants that
Schedule 6.10 hereto sets forth a complete and accurate list
of all
the Subsidiaries of LSI and the stockholder(s) of each such
Subsidiary and all partnership or joint venture interests
owned by
LSI.  Except as set forth on Schedule 6.10 hereto, all of
the
outstanding shares of each such Subsidiary are owned of
record and
beneficially by LSI or another Subsidiary of LSI.  There are
no
third parties who hold any options, warrants, or other
rights to
acquire shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary of LSI.

        6.11  Insurance.  LSI hereby represents and warrants
that
Schedule 6.11 hereto sets forth a complete and accurate list
of all
insurance policies in effect with respect to the assets of
LSI and
its Subsidiaries, specifying for each such policy, (a) the
amount
thereof, (b) the risks insured against, (c) the name of the
insurer
and each insured party thereunder, and (d) the policy or
other
identification number.

        6.12  Locations of Offices; Records and Inventory.
Each
Company hereby represents and warrants that such Company's
principal place of business is listed on Schedule 6.12
hereto.  The
books and records of each Company and all chattel paper and
all
records of Accounts of each Company are located at its
principal
place of business or such other locations listed on Schedule
6.12
hereto.  There is no location at which the Companies have
any
Inventory (except for Inventory in transit) other than those
locations for each Company listed on Schedule 6.12 hereto.
Schedule 6.12 hereto contains a true, correct and complete
list of
the legal names and addresses of each warehouse at which
Inventory
of each Company is stored.  None of the receipts received by
a
Company from any warehouse states that the goods covered
thereby
are to be delivered to bearer or to the order of a named
Person or
to a named Person and such named Person's assigns.

        6.13  Affiliate Transactions.   Except as set forth
on
Schedule 6.13 hereto, each Company hereby represents and
warrants
that such Company is not a party to any transaction
prohibited
under Section 7.22.

        6.14  Environmental Matters.  LSI hereby represents
and
warrants that except as set forth on Schedule 6.14 hereto
and
except as is not, reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse
Effect:

        (a)  All of the current and, to the best knowledge
of LSI,
past business operations of LSI and its Subsidiaries and all
of the
assets of LSI and its Subsidiaries and their existing and,
to the
best knowledge of LSI, prior uses, operations, businesses
and
activities thereon, substantially comply with all applicable
Environmental Laws, and no lien is currently imposed on any
of such
assets by any Governmental Authority in connection with any
Environmental Condition, the violation or threatened
violation of
any Environmental Laws or the existence of any Hazardous
Substances
at, on or under any of the assets of LSI and its
Subsidiaries, or
resulting from any Hazardous Substances released or
transported
from any of the assets of LSI and its Subsidiaries.  LSI and
its
Subsidiaries have obtained any and all permits, licenses and
authorizations which are required for the conduct of the
business
as presently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted
under the
Plan of Reorganization through the Core Assets under all
applicable
Environmental Laws and LSI and its Subsidiaries, their Core
Assets
and the uses, operations, businesses, and activities thereon
are in
substantial compliance with the terms and conditions of any
required permits, licenses and authorizations.  To the
knowledge of
LSI, there are no Environmental Laws scheduled to become
applicable
to the assets or operations of LSI or any of its
Subsidiaries that,
when effective, would make the statement contained in the
previous
sentence untrue.

        (b)  Neither LSI, its Subsidiaries nor, to the best
knowledge of LSI, any prior owner, occupant or user of any
of the
assets of LSI and its Subsidiaries, has engaged in or
permitted any
operations or activities upon any of the assets of LSI and
its
Subsidiaries for the purpose of or in any way involving the
handling, manufacture, treatment, processing, storage, use,
generation, release, discharge, dumping or disposal of any
Hazardous Substances at, on or under the assets of LSI and
its
Subsidiaries, except in substantial compliance with all
applicable
Environmental Laws.  The assets do not contain and, to the
best
knowledge of LSI, have not previously contained, in, on, or
under,
including, without limitation, the soil and groundwater
thereunder,
any Hazardous Substances in concentrations which violate
Environmental Laws.

        (c)  Neither LSI, nor its Subsidiaries, has received
any
notice of any actual or threatened Environmental Claim or
any
alleged violation of or liability under any Environmental
Laws
which has not been resolved.

        6.15  Employee Grievances.  Except as disclosed on
Schedule
6.15 hereto, there are no actions or proceedings pending or,
to the
knowledge of LSI, threatened against LSI or its
Subsidiaries, by or
on behalf of, or with, its respective employees, other than
employee grievances arising in the ordinary course of
business
which could, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect.

        6.16  Bank Accounts.  Schedule 6.16 hereto contains
a true
and complete list of all lockbox, demand deposit and other
bank
accounts of LSI and its Consolidated Subsidiaries.

        6.17  Returns.  All material returns, statements,
forms and
reports for taxes (the "Returns") required to be filed by or
with
respect to the income, properties or operations of LSI
and/or any
of its Subsidiaries have been timely filed with the
appropriate
taxing authority (taking into account properly requested
extensions).  The Returns accurately reflect all liability
for
taxes of LSI and its Subsidiaries for the periods covered
thereby
in all material respects.  All taxes payable by LSI and each
of its
Subsidiaries which have become due other than those
contested in
good faith and for which adequate reserves have been
established
have been paid.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.17
hereto, there
is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit, or
claim now
pending or threatened by any authority regarding any taxes
relating
to LSI or any of its Subsidiaries.  Except as disclosed on
Schedule
6.17 hereto, neither LSI nor any of its Subsidiaries has
entered
into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into
an
agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations
relating
to the payment or collection of taxes of such Persons, and
neither
LSI nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware of any
circumstances that
could reasonably be expected to cause the taxable years or
other
taxable periods of LSI or any of its Subsidiaries not to be
subject
to the normally applicable statute of limitations.  Neither
LSI nor
any of its Subsidiaries have incurred, or will incur, any
tax
liability in connection with the Reorganization which is
materially
different from that specifically reflected in the pro forma
financial statements delivered to the Lender prior to the
Effective
Date.

        6.18  Merged Subsidiaries.  Each of the Subsidiaries
set
forth in Schedule 2.1(N) has been merged into LSI on the
Effective
Date.

        6.19  Intellectual Property.  Schedule 6.19 hereto
lists all
trademarks of LSI and its Consolidated Subsidiaries and all
registrations and applications therefore, and all license
agreements in which LSI and its Consolidated Subsidiaries
grants or
receives any interest in any trademarks.

        SECTION 7.  Covenants

        Until the termination of this Financing Agreement
and the
satisfaction of all Obligations hereunder, each Company
agrees
that:

        7.1  Compliance with Bankruptcy Documents.  Each
Company
will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply at
all
times with the Plan of Reorganization, the Confirmation
Order and
each Related Document except (i) in the case of the Related
Documents, for any non-compliance that is waived by the
party
entitled to the benefits thereof, if such waiver is not
adverse to
the interests of the Lender; (ii) for any non-compliance
with
respect to personal injury claims or similar tort claims
against
the Debtors which are (A) adequately covered by insurance
and (B)
if adversely determined, could not have, in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect; and (iii) the filing with the
Bankruptcy
Court of a registration rights statement required to be
filed prior
to the Confirmation Date, which failure could not have a
Material
Adverse Effect; (iv) the establishment of the Professional
Fee
Reserve (as defined in the Plan); and (v) the claim of a
former
employee of LSI as to which a disputed claim reserve has not
been
established, and which claim is not an allowed claim,
provided if
such claim is adversely determined, it could not have, a
Material
Adverse Effect.

        7.2  Books and Records; Access; Change of Offices;
Change in
Collateral.  Each Company will, and will cause its
Subsidiaries to,
maintain books and records pertaining to the Collateral in
such
detail, form and scope as the Lender shall reasonably
require and
such books and records will reflect the Lender's interest in
the
Accounts.  Each Company agrees that the Lender may enter
upon such
Company's premises at any time during normal business hours,
and
from time to time, for the purpose of (a) inspecting the
Collateral, and  inspecting and/or copying, at such
Company's
expense, any and all records pertaining thereto, (b)
verifying the
Accounts, and (c) inspecting and/or copying, at such
Company's
expense, any and all records which in the Lender's
reasonable
judgment are relevant to the monitoring of the Obligations.
Each
Company agrees to afford the Lender not less than thirty
days'
prior written notice of any change in the location of any
Collateral, other than to locations, that as of the date
hereof,
are known to the Lender and at which the Lender has filed
financing
statements and otherwise fully perfected its liens thereon.
Each
Company is also to advise the Lender promptly, in sufficient
detail, of any material adverse change relating to the type,
quantity or quality of the Collateral or on the security
interests
granted therein.

        7.3  Collateral Records.  Each Company agrees to
execute and
deliver to the Lender for the benefit of the Lender from
time to
time, solely for the Lender's convenience in maintaining a
record
of the Collateral, such written statements, and schedules as
the
Lender may reasonably require, designating, identifying or
describing the Collateral pledged hereunder.  A Company's
failure,
however, to promptly give the Lender such statements, or
schedules
shall not affect, diminish, modify or otherwise limit the
Lender's
security interests in the Collateral.

        7.4  Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Each Company
agrees
to comply with the requirements of all state and federal
laws in
order to grant to the Lender valid and perfected first
security
interests in the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted
Encumbrances.  The Lender is hereby authorized by each
Company to
file any financing statements covering the Collateral
whether or
not such Company's signature appears thereon.  Each Company
agrees
to do whatever the Lender may reasonably request, from time
to
time, by way of:  filing notices of liens, financing
statements,
amendments, renewals and continuations thereof; cooperating
with
the Lender's custodians; keeping stock records; transferring
proceeds of Collateral to the Lender's possession; and
performing
such further acts as the Lender may reasonably require in
order to
effect the purposes of this Financing Agreement.

        7.5  Insurance.  LSI shall and shall cause its
Consolidated
Subsidiaries to maintain insurance on the Inventory under
such
policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in
such
reasonable amounts and covering such insurable risks as are
at all
times reasonably satisfactory to the Lender based on those
criteria
customary in the commercial finance industry generally or in
the
lending practices of the Lender.  All policies covering the
Inventory are, subject to the rights of any holders of
Permitted
Encumbrances holding claims senior to the Lender, to be made
payable to the Lender, in case of loss, under a standard
non-contributory "mortgagee", "lender" or "secured party"
clause
and are to contain such other provisions as the Lender may
require
to fully protect the Lender's interest in the Inventory and
to any
payments to be made under such policies.  True copies of the
policies (or original policies which are requested by the
Lender)
are to be delivered to the Lender, premium prepaid, with the
loss
payable endorsement in the case of policies covering
Inventory, in
the Lender's favor, and shall provide for not less than
thirty (30)
days prior written notice to the Lender of the exercise of
any
right of cancellation.  At LSI's request, or if LSI fails to
maintain such insurance, the Lender may arrange for such
insurance,
but at LSI's expense and without any responsibility on the
Lender's
part for:  obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the
insurance
companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection
of
claims.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Lender
shall, subject to the rights of any holders of Permitted
Encumbrances holding claims senior to the Lender have the
sole
right, in the name of the Lender and LSI, to file claims
under any
insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance
for
any payments that may be payable thereunder with respect to
the
Collateral, and to execute any and all endorsements,
receipts,
releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that
may be
necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement
of any
claims under any such insurance policies.

        7.6  Taxes.  LSI agrees to pay and will cause each
of its
Subsidiaries to pay, when due, all taxes, assessments,
claims and
other charges (herein "taxes") levied or assessed upon LSI
or any
of its Subsidiaries or the Collateral and if such taxes
remain
unpaid after the date fixed for the payment thereof, unless
such
taxes are being diligently contested in good faith by LSI or
any of
its Subsidiaries by appropriate proceedings, or (x) if any
lien
shall be claimed thereunder for taxes due the United States
of
America or (y) there exists any imminent seizure or
imposition of
lien, the Lender may, on LSI's or any of its Subsidiaries'
behalf,
pay such taxes, and the amount thereof shall be an
Obligation
secured hereby and due to the Lender on demand.  The
Companies
shall in all cases maintain adequate reserves with respect
to such
taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

        7.7  Compliance with ERISA.  LSI warrants and
represents
that each Plan is in substantial compliance with ERISA and
the
Code; except as disclosed on Schedule 7.7 hereto, no
Reportable
Event has occurred with respect to a Plan; no Plan is
insolvent or
in reorganization; except as disclosed on Schedule 7.7
hereto, no
Plan has an Unfunded Current Liability; no Plan has an
accumulated
or waived funding deficiency or has applied for an extension
of any
amortization period within the meaning of Section 412 of the
Code;
except as disclosed on Schedule 7.7 hereto, neither LSI, any
Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material
liability to or on account of a Plan pursuant to Section
409,
502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201, 4204 or
4212 of
ERISA or Section 4971 or 4975 of the Code or expects to
incur any
liability under any of the foregoing Sections with respect
to any
Plan; no proceedings have been instituted to terminate any
Plan;
except as disclosed on Schedule 7.7 hereto, no condition
exists
which presents a material risk to LSI, any Subsidiary or any
ERISA
Affiliate of incurring a liability to or on account of a
Plan
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code;
except
as disclosed on Schedule 7.7 hereto, no lien imposed under
the Code
or ERISA on the assets of LSI, any Subsidiary or any ERISA
Affiliate exists or is likely to arise on account of any
Plan;

Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate maintains an employee
welfare
benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) which
provides
health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of
insurance or
otherwise) for any retired or former employee of LSI, any
Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate; and except as disclosed
on
Schedule 7.7 hereto, LSI, any Subsidiary or any ERISA
Affiliate may
terminate contributions to any other employee benefit plans
(within
the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) maintained by them if
such
termination is not reasonably likely to cause a Material
Adverse
Effect.

        7.8  ERISA Notice.  LSI agrees that as soon as
possible and,
in any event, within 10 Business Days after LSI or any
Subsidiary
or any ERISA Affiliate knows or has reason to know of the
occurrence of any of the following, LSI will deliver to the
Lender
a certificate of the chief financial officer of LSI setting
forth
details as to such occurrence and the action, if any, which
LSI,
any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate is required or
proposes to

        7.9  Compliance with Laws; Environmental Matters.
Each
Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to:  (a)
comply with
all applicable Governmental Rules which the failure to
comply with
could have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that a
Company
and/or its Subsidiaries may contest or defend against
potential
liability imposed by any Governmental Rules in any
reasonable
manner which will not, in the Lender's reasonable opinion,
have a
Material Adverse Effect; and (b) to comply with all
applicable
Environmental Laws as presently existing or as adopted or
amended
in the future, applicable to the ownership and/or use of its
real
property and operation of its business, the failure to

provision of this Financing Agreement, except in the
ordinary
course of business and pursuant to the reasonable

adjacent to
LSI's cement plants in Greencastle, Indiana and Pryor,

        SECTION 8.  Interest, Fees and Expenses

        8.1  Interest On Revolving Loans.

        (a)  Interest Rate

             (i)  Each Chemical Bank Rate Loan shall bear
interest
at the rate per annum until paid at the Chemical Bank Rate
plus one
and one quarter percent (1-1/4%).

             (ii) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest
at a rate
per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest
Period in
effect for such Eurodollar Loan plus three percent (3%),
together
with any additional interest owing pursuant to Section 8(f)
hereof.

        (b)  Interest Payment Dates.  The Companies shall
pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving
Loan from
the date of such Revolving Loan until such principal amount
shall
be paid in full, which interest shall be payable jointly and
severally (i) if such Revolving Loan is a Chemical Bank Rate
Loan,
monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month,
commencing May 1, 1994, and (ii) if such Revolving Loan is a
Eurodollar Loan, (A) on the last day of the Interest Period
of such
Eurodollar Loan and (B) for any Interest Period longer than
three
months, on the day that occurs during such Interest Period
every
three (3) months from the first day of such Interest Period.
After
maturity of any principal amount of any Revolving Loan (by
acceleration, at scheduled maturity or otherwise), interest
on such
amount shall be due and jointly and severally payable on
demand.

        (c)  Eurodollar Rate Not Determinable; Inability to
Determine Interest Rate; Illegality or Impropriety.

             (i)  If prior to the first day of any Interest
Period:

                  (A)  the Lender shall have determined in
good
faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
upon the
Company absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable
means
do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest
Period, or

                  (B)  dollar deposits in the principal
amounts of
the Eurodollar Loans to which such Interest Period is to be
applicable are not generally available in the London
interbank
market,

the Lender shall give notice to LSI by fax or telephone as
soon as
practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given (1) any
Eurodollar
Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest
Period
shall be made as Chemical Bank Rate Loans and (2) any loans
that
were to have been converted to or continued as Eurodollar
Loans on
the first day of such Interest Period shall be converted to
or
continued as Chemical Bank Rate Loans.  Until such notice
has been
withdrawn by the Lender (which shall occur on the first date
that
the Lender becomes aware that the conditions set forth in
the
preceding clauses (A) or (B) no longer exist), no Revolving
Loans
shall be made as or converted to or continued as Eurodollar
Loans.

             (ii) In the event that the Lender shall have
determined
hereafter at any time that the introduction of, or any
change in,
any applicable law, rule, regulation, order or decree or in
the
interpretation or the administration thereof by any
Governmental
Authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any request or
directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such
Governmental
Authority, shall make it unlawful or improper for the Lender
or any
Affiliate of the Lender to make, maintain or fund any
Eurodollar
Loan as contemplated by this Financing Agreement, then the
Lender
shall forthwith give notice thereof to LSI describing such
illegality or impropriety in reasonable detail.  Effective
immediately upon the giving of the notice, the obligation of
the
Lender to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended for the
duration
of such illegality or impropriety and, if and when such
illegality
or impropriety ceases to exist, such suspension shall cease,
and
the Lender shall notify LSI.  If any such change shall make
it
unlawful or improper for the Lender to maintain any
outstanding
Eurodollar Loan as a Eurodollar Loan, the Lender shall, upon
the
happening of such event, notify LSI, and LSI shall
immediately, or
if permitted by applicable law, rule, regulation, order,
decree,
interpretation, request or directive, no later than the date
permitted thereby, convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a
Chemical Bank Rate Loan.

        (d)  Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy
Circumstances.

             (i)  Notwithstanding any other provision
herein, if any
change in applicable law or regulation or in the
interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged
with
the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not
having
the force of law) shall heretofore impose any tax on or
change the
basis of taxation of payments to the Lender or any Affiliate
of the
Lender of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar
Loan made
by the Lender (other than taxes imposed on the overall net
income
of the Lender or such Affiliate of the Lender by the
jurisdiction
in which the Lender has its principal office or by any
political
subdivision or taxing authority therein), or shall impose,
modify
or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of
or credit extended by the Lender or any Affiliate of the
Lender
(except any such reserve requirement that is reflected in
the
additional interest payable pursuant to Section 8(f)) or
shall
impose on the Lender or any Affiliate of the Lender any
other
condition affecting this Financing Agreement or any
Eurodollar
Loans made by the Lender, and the result of any of the
foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to the Lender or any Affiliate
of the
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or to
reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in
respect
thereof by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material,
then the
Companies shall jointly and severally pay to the Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender
for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  Any amount
or
amounts payable by the Companies to the Lender in accordance
with
the provisions of this Section 8.1(d) shall be paid jointly
and
severally by the Companies to the Lender within ten (10)
days after
receipt by LSI from the Lender of a statement setting forth
in
reasonable detail the amount or amounts due and the basis
for the
determination from time to time of such amount or amounts,
which
statement shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error.

             (ii) If the Lender shall have determined that
the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in
the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with
the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by
the
Lender, any lending office of the Lender, or any Affiliate
of the
Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority,
central bank or comparable agency, in each case after the
date
hereof, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the
Lender's capital or on the capital of the Lender's
Affiliate, as a
consequence of the Lender's obligations under this Financing
Agreement to a level below that which the Lender or the
Lender's
Affiliate, could have achieved but for such adoption, change
or
compliance (taking into consideration the Lender's policies
or the
Lender's Affiliate's policies, with respect to capital
adequacy) by
an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then, from
time to
time, the Companies shall jointly and severally reimburse
the
Lender for such reduction.  Any amount or amounts payable by
the
Companies to the Lender in accordance with the provisions of
this
8.1(d)(ii) shall be paid jointly and severally by the
Companies to
the Lender within ten (10) days after receipt by LSI from
the
Lender of a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the
amount
or amounts due and the basis for the determination from time
to
time of such amount or amounts, which statement shall be
conclusive
and binding absent manifest error.

             (iii)The Lender may demand compensation for any
increased costs or reduction in amounts received or
receivable or
reduction in return on capital with respect to any period;
provided
that the Lender shall provide to LSI a certificate setting
forth
the basis on which such demand is made. The protection of
this
Section 8.1(d) shall be available to the Lender regardless
of any
possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of
the
law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or
condition which
shall have occurred or been imposed.

        (e)  Indemnity.  The Companies agree to jointly and
severally indemnify the Lender against any loss or expense
that the
Lender actually sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i)
any
failure by any Company to fulfill on the date of any
borrowing
hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2,
(ii)
any failure by a Company to borrow any Eurodollar Loan
hereunder or
to convert any Chemical Bank Rate Loan into a Eurodollar
Loan,
after notice of such borrowing or conversion has been given
pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 8.1(g), as the case may
be,
(iii) any payment, prepayment (mandatory or optional) or
conversion
of a Eurodollar Loan required by any provision of this
Financing
Agreement or otherwise made on a date other than the last
day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) any default in
payment
or prepayment of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Loan
or any
part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due
and
payable (at the due date thereof, by notice of prepayment or
otherwise), or (v) the occurrence of any Event of Default,
including, in each such case, any actual loss or reasonable
expense
sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits
from
third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Revolving
Loan or
any part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan.  Such loss or
reasonable
expense shall include but not be limited to an amount equal
to the
excess, if any, as reasonably determined by the Lender, of
(x) its
cost of obtaining the funds for the Revolving Loan being
paid,
prepaid or converted or not borrowed or converted (based on
the
Eurodollar Rate applicable thereto) for the period from the
date of
such payment, prepayment, conversion or failure to borrow or
convert on the last day of the Interest Period for such
Revolving
Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or convert, the
last
day of the Interest Period for such Revolving Loan that
would have
commenced on the date of such failure to borrow or convert)
over
(y) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by the
Lender)
that would be realized by the Lender in re-employing the
funds so
paid, prepaid or converted or not borrowed or converted for
such
Interest Period.  A certificate of the Lender setting forth
in
reasonable detail any amount or amounts that the Lender is
entitled
to receive pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) and the basis for
the
determination of such amount or amounts shall be delivered
to LSI
and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

        (f)  Regulation D Compensation.  For so long as the
Lender
or any Affiliate of the Lender maintains reserves against
"eurocurrency liabilities" (or any other category of
liabilities
that includes deposits by reference to which the interest
rate on
Eurodollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions
of
credit or other assets that includes loans by a non-United
States
office of the Lender or any Affiliate of the Lender to
United
States residents), and as a result the cost to the Lender or
any
Affiliate of the Lender (or its eurodollar lending office)
of
making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans is increased,
then such
Lender may require the Companies to jointly and severally
pay,
contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the
Eurodollar
Loans, additional interest on the related Eurodollar Loans
of the
Lender at a rate per annum up to but not exceeding the
excess of
(i) (x) the applicable Eurodollar Rate divided by (y) one
minus the
Reserve Requirement over (ii) the applicable Eurodollar
Rate.  The
Lender shall so notify LSI and provide to LSI, along with
such
notice, an officer's certificate setting forth the amount to
which
the Lender is then entitled under this Section 8.1(f).  Each
such
certificate provided to LSI under this Section 8.1(f) shall
be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

        (g)  Continuation and Conversion of Loans.  Subject
to
Section 3.1 and Section 8.1(c) hereof, the Companies shall
have the
right, at any time, (i) on three (3) Business Days' prior
irrevocable written or telecopy notice to the Lender, to
continue
any Eurodollar Loan or any portion thereof into a subsequent
Interest Period or to convert any Chemical Bank Rate Loan or
portion thereof into a Eurodollar Loan, or (ii) on one (1)
Business
Day's prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice to the
Lender,
to convert any Eurodollar Loan or portion thereof into a
Chemical
Bank Rate Loan, subject to the following:

             (A)  no Event of Default or Potential Default
shall
        have occurred and be continuing at the time of such
        continuation or conversion;

             (B)  the aggregate principal amount of any
Eurodollar
        Loan continued or converted shall not be less than
        $1,000,000 and in multiples of $250,000 if in excess
        thereof;

             (C)  each conversion shall be effected by the
Lender by
        applying the proceeds of the new Revolving Loan to
the
        Revolving Loan (or portion thereof) being converted;
accrued
        interest on the Revolving Loan (or portion thereof)
being
        converted shall be paid by the Company at the time
of
        conversion;

             (D)  if the new Revolving Loan made in respect
of a
        conversion shall be a Eurodollar Loan, the first
Interest
        Period with respect thereto shall commence on the
date of
        conversion;

             (E)  no portion of any Revolving Loan shall be
        continued or converted to a Eurodollar Loan with an
Interest
        Period ending later than the Termination Date; and

             (F)  if any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan
shall be
        effected on a day other than the last day of an
Interest
        Period, the Company shall reimburse the Lender on
demand for
        any loss incurred by it in the reemployment of the
funds
        released by such conversion as provided in 8.1(e)
hereof.

In the event that LSI shall not give notice to continue any
Eurodollar Loan into a subsequent Interest Period, such
Revolving
Loan (unless repaid) shall automatically become a Chemical
Bank
Rate Loan at the expiration of the then current Interest
Period.

        8.2  Calculations of Interest and Fees.  All
interest and
fees under this Financing Agreement shall be calculated
based on
the actual number of days elapsed and a 365 (or 366) day
year,
except that, with respect to Eurodollar Loans interest shall
be
calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed and a
360 day
year.  The Lender shall be entitled to charge the Companies'
joint
account at the rate provided for herein when due until all
Obligations have been paid in full.

        8.3  Letter of Credit Fees.  In consideration of the

fees,
commissions, costs and expenses charged to the Lender for
the
Companies' account by any Issuing Bank in connection with or
arising out of Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this
Financing
Agreement or out of transactions relating thereto will be
charged
to the Companies' joint account in full when charged to or
paid by
the Lender and when made by any such Issuing Bank shall be
conclusive on the Lender.

        8.5  Out-of-Pocket Expenses; Documentation Fee.  The
Companies shall, upon demand, jointly and severally
reimburse or
pay the Lender as the case may be, for:  (i) all Out-of-

this
Financing Agreement, and payable on each Anniversary Date in
advance for each year thereafter.

        8.9  Expenses of Lender. The Companies shall jointly
and
severally pay the Lender's standard charges for, and the

all or
any part of the Collateral.

        8.10  Authorization to Charge Accounts.  The
Companies
hereby authorize the Lender to charge the Companies' joint
account
with the Lender with the amount of all payments due
hereunder as
such payments become due.  The Companies and the Lender
confirm
that any charges which the Lender may so make to the
Companies'
joint account as herein provided will be made as an
accommodation
to the Companies and solely at the Lender's discretion.

        SECTION 9.  Powers

enforcement proceedings against LSI, its Subsidiaries or
their
property for an aggregate amount in excess of $2,000,000,
which in
each case is unstayed, due and owing and not covered by
adequate
insurance;

        (l)  a default, event of default or event of
termination or
acceleration (other than a Credit Rating Event of Default)
shall
occur under any of the Related Documents, provided that any
such
default, event of default or event of termination or
acceleration
shall not constitute an Event of Default unless any such
default,
event of default or event of termination or acceleration
results in
(i) LSI or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries having an
obligation to make a cash payment in excess of $1,000,000 in
the
aggregate or (ii) the exercise of remedies or the
commencement of
enforcement proceedings against LSI or any of its
Consolidated
Subsidiaries (A) seeking the payment of money in excess of
$1,000,000 in the aggregate or (B) with respect to property
of LSI
or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries with a fair market
value in
excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate; or

        (m)  a Change of Control (as defined in the Senior
Note
Indenture) shall have occurred.

        10.2  Remedies.  (a)  Upon the occurrence of a
Potential
Default and/or an Event of Default, at the option of the
Lender,
all loans and advances provided for in Section 3.1 of this
Financing Agreement shall be thereafter in the Lender's sole
discretion and the obligation of the Lender to make
revolving loans
and/or assist LSI in opening Letters of Credit shall cease
unless
such Potential Default or Event of Default is waived or
cured to
the Lender's satisfaction, and at the option of the Lender
upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default: (i) all Obligations shall
become
immediately due and payable upon written notice from the
Lender to
LSI provided that no notice is required if the Event of
Default is
the event listed in Section 10.1(c); (ii) the Lender may
charge the
Companies the Default Rate of Interest on all then
outstanding or
thereafter incurred Obligations in lieu of the interest
provided
for in Section 8.1(a) of this Financing Agreement, provided
the
Lender has given LSI written notice of the Event of Default,
provided, further, however, that no notice is required if
the Event
of Default is the event listed in Section 10.1(c); and (iii)
the
Lender may immediately terminate this Financing Agreement
upon
notice to LSI, provided, however, that no notice of
termination is
required if the Event of Default is the event listed in
Section
10.1(c).  The exercise of any option is not exclusive of any
other
option which may be exercised at any time by the Lender.

        (b)  Immediately upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, the Lender may to the extent permitted by law:  (a)
remove
from any premises where same may be located any and all
documents,
instruments, files and records, and any receptacles or
cabinets
containing same, relating to the Accounts, the Inventory or
the
other Collateral, or the Lender may use, at the Companies'
expense,
such of the Companies' personnel, supplies or space at the
Companies' places of business or otherwise, as may be
necessary to
properly administer and control the Accounts or the handling
of
collections and realizations thereon, the Inventory or the
other
Collateral; (b) bring suit, in the name of the Companies or
the
Lender, and generally shall have all other rights respecting
said
Accounts, including without limitation the right to:
accelerate or
extend the time of payment, settle, compromise, release in
whole or
in part any amounts owing on any Accounts and issue credits
in the
name of the Companies or the Lender; (c) sell, assign and
deliver
the Collateral and any returned, reclaimed or repossessed
merchandise, with or without advertisement, at public or
private
sale, for cash, on credit or otherwise, at the Lender's sole
option
and discretion, and the Lender may bid or become a purchaser
at any
such sale, free from any right of redemption, which right is
hereby
expressly waived by the Companies; (d) foreclose the
security
interests created herein by any available judicial
procedure, or to
take possession of any or all of the Inventory without
judicial
process, and to enter any premises where any Inventory may
be
located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing
the
same and (e) exercise any other rights and remedies provided
in
law, in equity, by contract or otherwise.  The Lender shall
have
the right, without notice or advertisement, to sell, lease,
or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral
whether in
its then condition or after further preparation or
processing, in
the name of the Companies or the Lender, or in the name of
such
other party as the Lender may designate, either at public or
private sale or at any broker's board, in lots or in bulk,
for cash
or for credit, with or without warranties or
representations, and
upon such other terms and conditions as the Lender in its
sole
discretion may deem advisable, and the Lender shall have the
right
to purchase at any such sale.  If any Inventory shall
require
rebuilding, repairing, maintenance or preparation, the
Lender shall
have the right, at its option, to do such of the aforesaid
as is
necessary, for the purpose of putting the Inventory in such
saleable form as the Lender shall deem appropriate.  The
Companies
agree, at the request of the Lender to assemble the
Inventory and
to make it available to the Lender at premises of the
Companies or
elsewhere and to make available to the Lender the premises
and
facilities of the Companies for the purpose of the Lender's
taking
possession of, removing or putting the Inventory in saleable
form.
However, if notice of intended disposition of any Collateral
is
required by law, it is agreed that ten (10) days notice
shall
constitute reasonable notification and full compliance with
the
law.  The net cash proceeds resulting from the Lender's
exercise of
any of the foregoing rights, (after deducting all charges,
costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be
applied by the Lender to the payment of the Companies'
Obligations,
whether due or to become due, in such order as the Lender
may
elect, and the Companies shall remain jointly and severally
liable
to the Lender for any deficiencies, and the Lender in turn
agrees
to remit to the Companies or their successors or assigns,
any
surplus resulting therefrom.  The enumeration of the
foregoing
rights is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of
any
right shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights,
all of
which shall be cumulative.

        SECTION 11.  Termination

        Except as otherwise permitted herein, the Lender may
terminate this Financing Agreement and the Line of Credit
only as
of the third or any subsequent Anniversary Date and then
only by
giving the other at least sixty (60) days prior written
notice of
termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing the Lender may
terminate this Financing Agreement immediately upon the
occurrence
of an Event of Default, provided, however, that if the Event
of
Default is an event listed in Section 10.1(c) of this
Financing
Agreement, the Lender may regard the Financing Agreement as
terminated and notice to that effect is not required.  This
Financing Agreement, unless terminated as herein provided,
shall
automatically continue from Anniversary Date to Anniversary
Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, LSI may terminate this
Financing
Agreement and the Line of Credit at any time upon fifteen
(15)
days' prior written notice to the Lender.  All Obligations
shall
become due and payable as of any termination under this
Section 11
hereof and, pending a final accounting, the Lender may
withhold any
balances in the Companies' joint account (unless supplied
with an
indemnity satisfactory to the Lender) to cover all of the
Companies' Obligations, whether absolute or contingent.  All
of the
Lender's rights, liens and security interests shall continue
after
any termination until all Obligations for the payment of
money have
been paid in cash and satisfied in full.  After such payment
and
satisfaction, the Lender will, upon the reasonable request
of LSI,
execute all documents necessary to release, without
recourse,
representation and warranty and at the expense of LSI, its
liens
and security interest granted pursuant to the terms of this
Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided
that the
Lender shall not be entitled to withhold any such releases
solely
by reason of the existence of indemnification provisions in
this
Financing Agreement if (i) no claim has been asserted or
threatened
with respect to any such indemnification or (ii) any such
claim is
asserted or threatened and the Lender determines that such
claim is
adequately covered by insurance or bonded or the Lender has
received an indemnity, from LSI or a third-party, secured or
unsecured, in all respects reasonably satisfactory to it.

        SECTION 12.  Miscellaneous

        12.1  Waivers.  The Companies hereby waive
diligence,
demand, presentment and protest and any notices thereof as
well as
notice of nonpayment.  No delay or omission of the Lender or
the
Companies to exercise any right or remedy hereunder, whether
before
or after the happening of any Event of Default, shall impair
any
such right or shall operate as a waiver thereof or as a
waiver of
any such Event of Default.  No single or partial exercise by
the
Lender of any right or remedy precludes any other or further
exercise thereof, or precludes any other right or remedy.

        12.2  Payments; Expenses; Taxes; Indemnification.
All
payments made by the Companies or any Guarantor hereunder or
under
any Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim
or
other defense.  The Companies jointly and severally agree to
pay or
cause to be paid, on demand, and to save the Lender harmless
against liability for the payment of, all Out-of-Pocket
Expenses,
regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby
are
consummated, from time to time arising from or relating to:
(a)
the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery,
performance,
termination and administration of this Financing Agreement
and the
other Loan Documents, (b) any requested amendments, waivers
or
consents to this Financing Agreement and the other Loan
Documents,
whether or not such documents become effective or are given,
(c)
the preservation and protection of any of the Lender's
rights under
this Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d)
the
defense of any claim or action asserted or brought against
the
Lender by any Person that arises from or relates to this
Financing
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Lender's claims
against
the Companies, or any and all matters in connection
therewith,
except where any such claim or action results from the
Lender's
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as judicially
determined by
a final nonappealable order, (e) the commencement or defense
of, or
intervention in, any court proceeding arising from or
related to
this Financing Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (f)
the
filing of any petition, complaint, answer, motion or other
pleading
by the Lender, or the taking of any action in respect to
Collateral
or other security, in connection with this Financing
Agreement or
the other Loan Documents, (g) the protection, collection,
lease,
sale, taking possession of or liquidation of any Collateral
or
other security in connection with this Financing Agreement
or the
other Loan Documents, (h) any attempt to enforce any lien in
any
Collateral or other security in connection with this
Financing
Agreement, (i) any attempt to collect from the Companies or
their
Subsidiaries, or (j) the receipt of any advice with respect
to any
of the foregoing.  Without limitation of the foregoing, (x)
the
Companies jointly and severally agree to pay all stamp,
document,
transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar
impositions
now or hereafter determined by the Lender to be payable in
connection with this Financing Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, and the Companies agree to jointly and severally
save
the Lender harmless from and against any and all present or
future
claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting
from any
omission to pay or delay in paying any such taxes, fees or
impositions, and (y) if the Companies or their Subsidiaries
fail to
perform any covenant or agreement contained in this
Financing
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Lender may itself
perform or cause performance of such covenant or agreement,
and the
expenses of the Lender incurred in connection therewith
shall be
reimbursed on demand by the Companies.  The Companies agree
to
jointly and severally indemnify and defend the Lender and
its
directors, officers, agents, employees and affiliates
(collectively
the "Indemnified Parties") from, and hold each of them
harmless
against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages,
costs or
expenses of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable
attorneys'
fees and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by, imposed
upon or
asserted against any of them arising out of or by reason of
any
investigation, litigation or other proceeding brought or
threatened
relating to, or otherwise arising out of or relating to, the
execution of this Financing Agreement and the other Loan
Documents,
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any
Revolving
Loan or Letter of Credit or proposed Letter of Credit
hereunder
(including, but without limitation, any use made or proposed
to be
made by the Companies or any of their Affiliates of the
proceeds of
any thereof, or the delivery or use or transfer of or the
payment
or failure to pay under any Revolving Loan or Letter of
Credit) but
excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages,
costs or
expenses to the extent finally judicially determined to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the
Indemnified Parties.

        12.3  Entire Agreement.  This Financing Agreement,
the other
Loan Documents and the documents executed and delivered in
connection herewith and therewith constitute the entire
agreement
between the Companies and the Lender; supersede any prior
agreements; can be changed only by a writing signed by both
the
Companies and the Lender; and shall bind and benefit the
Companies
and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

        12.4  Assignments and Participations.  This
Financing
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
each of
the Companies and the Lender and their respective successors
and
assigns, except that the Companies may not assign their
rights
hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent
of the Lender.  The Lender may assign to one or more banks
or other
financial institutions (with the prior written consent of
LSI prior
to an Event of Default or at any time after an Event of
Default)
all or any part of, or may grant participations to one or
more
banks or other entities in or to all or any part of, the
Revolving
Loans, and, to the extent of any such assignment or
participation
(unless otherwise stated therein), the assignee of such
assignment
shall have the same rights and benefits hereunder as it
would have
if it were the Lender hereunder, provided, however, that no
such
participation shall relieve the Lender of its obligations
hereunder.

        12.5  Maximum Rate.  In no event shall the
Companies, upon
demand by the Lender for payment of any indebtedness
relating
hereto, by acceleration of the maturity thereof, or
otherwise, be
obligated to pay interest and fees in excess of the amount
permitted by law.  Regardless of any provision herein or in
any
agreement made in connection herewith, the Lender shall
never be
entitled to receive, charge or apply, as interest on any
indebtedness relating hereto, any amount in excess of the
maximum
amount of interest permissible under applicable law.  If the
Lender
ever receives, collects or applies any such excess, it shall
be
deemed a partial repayment of principal and treated as such;
and if
principal is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be
refunded
to the Companies.  This paragraph shall control every other
provision hereof and of any other agreement made in
connection
herewith.

        12.6  Severability.  If any provision hereof or of
any other
agreement made in connection herewith is held to be illegal
or
unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, and
the
remaining provisions of the applicable agreement shall
remain in
full force and effect and shall not be affected by such
provision's
severance.  Furthermore, in lieu of any such provision,
there shall
be added automatically as a part of the applicable agreement
a
legal and enforceable provision as similar in terms to the
severed
provision as may be possible.

        12.7  Counterparts.  This Financing Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when
so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of
which shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.

        12.8  Jury Trial.  EACH COMPANY AND THE LENDER
HEREBY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
ARISING
OUT OF THIS FINANCING AGREEMENT.  EACH COMPANY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE
OF
PROCESS BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT
REQUESTED.

        12.9  Guaranty.  Each Company unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees that it shall be jointly and severally
liable
for, and guarantees payment and performance when due,
whether at
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of, any and all
obligations
of the other Company under this Financing Agreement.  The
foregoing
guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing
guaranty of
payment and performance, is in no way conditioned upon any
attempt
to enforce payment, performance or compliance by the Company
whose
obligations are guaranteed or upon any other event or
contingency
and shall be binding upon and enforceable against each
Company
without regard to the genuineness, regularity, validity or
enforceability of the provisions herein or in any other
instrument
or document under which such guaranteed obligations were
created.
Each Company hereby waives and agrees that it will not
exercise any
right which it may acquire by way of subrogation hereunder,
by any
payment made by it hereunder or otherwise.

        12.10  Notices.  Except as otherwise herein
provided, any

AND
ENFORCEMENT OF THIS FINANCING AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

        12.12  Confidentiality.  Upon delivering to the
Lender, or
permitting the Lender to inspect, any written information
pursuant
to this Financing Agreement, the Lender shall treat such
information as confidential in accordance with its customary
practices to the extent such information is conspicuously
marked
confidential or LSI has otherwise notified the Lender that
such
information is confidential.  The Lender agrees to hold such
information in confidence from the date of disclosure
thereof.
Subject to the other provisions of this Section 12.12, the
Lender
may disclose confidential information to its officers,
directors,
employees, attorneys, accountants or other professionals
engaged by
the Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this
Financing Agreement and then only after such third party has
agreed
to hold such information in confidence to the same extent as
if it
were the Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
provisions of
this Section 12.12 shall not apply to information within any
one of
the following categories or any combination thereof:  (i)
information the substance of which, at the time of
disclosure by
the Lender, has been disclosed to or is known to any Person
other
than (A) a director, officer, employee or agent of LSI or a
professional engaged by LSI and (B) a Person who is then
under an
obligation of nondisclosure (otherwise than as a consequence
of a
wrongful act of the Lender), (ii) information which the
Lender had
in its possession prior to receipt thereof from the
disclosing
party or (iii) information received by the Lender from a
third
party having no obligations of nondisclosure with respect
thereto.
Nothing contained in this Section 12.12 shall prevent any
disclosure:  (x) believed in good faith by the Lender to be
required by any law or guideline or interpretation or
application
thereof by any Governmental Authority, arbitrator or grand
jury
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or
compliance with any request or directive of any Governmental
Authority, arbitrator or grand jury (whether or not having
the
force of law), (y) determined by counsel for the Lender to
be
necessary or advisable in connection with its obligations to
any
Governmental Authority or the enforcement or preservation of
rights
under or in connection with this Financing Agreement any
other Loan
Document or (z) of any information which has been made
public by a
Person other than the Lender.  The Lender shall have the
right to
disclose any confidential information described in this
Section
12.12 to an Issuing Bank and to a participant or assignee or
prospective participant or assignee in loans hereunder,
provided
that the Lender shall have obtained from such participant or
assignee or prospective participant or assignee an agreement
to
hold such information in confidence to the same extent as if
it
were the Lender.

        12.13     Releases of Collateral.

        (a)  Upon the request of LSI made in connection with
any
Permitted Asset Sale, which includes contract rights,
intellectual
property and other similar intangible assets as all or part
of the
assets being sold, and provided that (i) no Event of Default
or
Potential Default has occurred and is continuing both
immediately
before and immediately after such Permitted Asset Sale and
(ii) the
Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised
reasonably,
that such contract rights, intellectual property and other
similar
intangible assets (A) do not arise from or relate to
Accounts or
Inventory, (B) are not necessary or desirable to fully
exercise the
rights and remedies granted to the Lender in this Financing
Agreement with respect to Accounts and Inventory, and (C)
are not
necessary or desirable to realize the economic benefits of
the lien
on and security interest in Accounts and Inventory granted
to the
Lender in this Financing Agreement, the Lender shall, at the
expense of LSI, release, without recourse, representation
and
warranty, its lien on and security interest in any such
contract
rights, intellectual property or intangible assets.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Lender shall
not have
any obligation to release its lien on or security interest
in (x)
any Accounts or Inventory or (y) any contract rights,
intellectual
property or other intangible assets if, with respect to
clause (y),
the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised
reasonably, that the conditions of this subsection (a) of
Section
12.13 have not been satisfied.

        (b)  Upon the request of LSI made in connection with
any
Permitted Asset Sale, which includes any Accounts, Inventory
and/or
all (but not less than all) of the capital stock of Trap
Rock as
part of the assets being sold, and provided that (i) no
Event of
Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing
both
immediately before and immediately after giving effect to
such
Permitted Asset Sale, (ii) LSI makes a mandatory prepayment
with
all or a portion of the Net Proceeds from such Permitted
Asset Sale
in an amount (the "Collateral Release Payment") equal to the
lesser
of (A) the amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding
immediately
prior to such Permitted Asset Sale and (B) the product of
(x) 110%
and (y) the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to
the
assets being sold, (iii) LSI has delivered to the Lender a
Borrowing Base Certificate calculated both immediately
before and
immediately after giving effect to the proposed release,
(iv) both
immediately before and immediately after giving effect to
the
proposed release, the Availability of the Companies (without
giving
effect to the Line of Credit limitation contained in clause
(i) of
the definition of Availability) is greater than zero, and
(v) the
Lender has determined in its sole discretion exercised
reasonably
that the Collateral remaining in the Borrowing Base after
giving
effect to the proposed release has not deteriorated beyond
recent
historical performance, the Lender shall, at the expense of
LSI,
release, without recourse, representation and warranty, its
lien on
and security interest in any such Collateral.  The Lender
shall not
have any obligation to release its lien on or security
interest in
any such Collateral if the Lender determines, in its sole
discretion exercised reasonably, that the conditions of this
subsection (b) of Section 12.13 have not been satisfied.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if such Permitted
Asset
Sale includes the capital stock of Trap Rock (1) Trap Rock
shall
cease to be a borrower under this Financing Agreement, (2)
all
references in this Financing Agreement to the Companies
shall be
deemed to be references solely to LSI, (3) all references in
this
Financing Agreement to Trap Rock shall be interpreted so
that Trap
Rock will not have any rights or obligations under this
Financing
Agreement, (4) the Lender shall be released from any duty,
liability or obligation with respect to Trap Rock directly
or
indirectly arising out of or relating to this Financing
Agreement
or the other Loan Documents or any transactions hereunder or
thereunder, and (5) at the request of the Lender, LSI shall
enter
into any amendment to this Financing Agreement or the other
Loan
Documents that the Lender reasonably requests to effect or
evidence
the satisfaction of any obligations to Trap Rock or the
termination
of the effectiveness as to Trap Rock of this Financing
Agreement or
any Loan Document.

        (c)  Upon the request of LSI made in connection with
any
Permitted Asset Sale, which includes all (but not less than
all) of
the capital stock of any Pledged Subsidiary or any other
Collateral
not subject to subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 12.13
as part
of the assets being sold, and provided that no Event of
Default or
Potential Default has occurred and is continuing both
immediately
before and immediately after such Permitted Asset Sale, the
Lender
shall, at the expense of LSI, release, without recourse
representation and warranty, its lien on and security
interest in
any such Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, the
Lender shall not have any obligation to release its lien on
or
security interest in any such Collateral if the Lender
determines,
in its sole discretion exercised reasonably, that the
conditions of
this subsection (c) of Section 12.13 have not been
satisfied.

        (d)  LSI may exercise its rights under this Section
12.13 at
any time during the term of this Financing Agreement in
connection
with a Permitted Asset Sale by delivering to the Lender, not
less
than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the

identify the assets proposed to be sold pursuant to such
Permitted
Asset Sale and any documents that LSI is requesting the
Lender to
sign in connection with any such proposed release, and be
accompanied by a counterpart of any such documents executed
and
acknowledged by all parties thereto (if any) other than the
Lender
(and in form for execution by the Lender) certifying, as of
the
date of the Release Certificate, that, both immediately
before and
immediately after giving effect to such requested release
(including any intended use of the proceeds of such released
Collateral to reduce the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section

made by
_____________________, a corporation (the "Guarantor"), in
favor of
The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. (the "Lender").


W I T N E S S E T H


             WHEREAS, Lone Star Industries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation which directly or indirectly owns a majority of
the
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Guarantor
(the "Borrower"), New York Trap Rock Corporation ("Trap
Rock") and
the Lender are parties to a Financing Agreement, dated as of
April
13, 1994 (such Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified
from
time to time, being hereinafter referred to as the
"Financing
Agreement"); and

             WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.13 of the
Financing
Agreement, the Guarantor is required to execute and deliver
to the
Lender a guaranty guaranteeing all obligations under the
Financing
Agreement;

             NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
premises and
the agreements herein and in order to induce the Lender to
make and
maintain the Revolving Loans pursuant to the Financing
Agreement
and to assist the Borrower in obtaining Letters of Credit
(as
defined in the Financing Agreement), the Guarantor hereby
agrees
with the Lender as follows:

             SECTION 1. Definitions.  Reference is hereby
made to
the Financing Agreement for a statement of the terms
thereof.  All
terms used in this Guaranty which are defined therein and
not
otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein
as set
forth therein.

             SECTION 2. Guaranty.  The Guarantor hereby (i)
irre-
vocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the
prompt
payment by the Borrower, as and when due and payable
(whether by
scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration,
demand or
otherwise), of all (A) amounts now or hereafter owing in
respect of
the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including,
without limitation, all reimbursement obligations to the
Issuing
Bank under the Financing Agreement, whether for principal,
interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, and (B) all other
indebtedness, obligations and other liabilities, direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, now existing or hereafter
arising, of the Borrower to the Lender (the "Obligations");
and
(ii) agrees to pay any and all expenses (including
reasonable
counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Lender in
enforcing its
rights under this Guaranty.

             SECTION 3. Guarantor's Obligations
Unconditional.

             (a)  The Guarantor hereby guarantees that the
Obliga-
tions will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of
the
Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party, regardless
of any
law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any
jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of
the
Lender with respect thereto.  The liability of the Guarantor
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective
of: (i)
any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document
or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) any change in
the
time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in
respect of, all or any of the obligations, or any other
amendment
or waiver of or consent to any departure from any provision
of any
Loan Document other than this Guaranty; (iii) any exchange
or
release of, or non-perfection of any lien on or security
interest
in, any collateral, or any,release or amendment or waiver of
or
consent to any departure from any other guaranty, for all or
any of
the Obligations; or (iv) any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge
of, the
Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of the
Obligations or
the Guarantor in respect hereof.

             (b)  This Guaranty (i) is a continuing guaranty
and
shall remain in full force and effect until such date on
which all
of the Obligations and all other expenses to be paid by the
Guarantor pursuant hereto shall have been satisfied in full
after
the Termination Date and (ii) shall continue to be effective
or
shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any
payment
of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, all as though
such
payment had not been made.

             SECTION 4. Waivers.  The Guarantor hereby
waives, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) promptness and
diligence; (ii) notice of acceptance and notice of the
incurrence
of any Obligation by the Borrower; (iii) notice of any
actions
taken by the Lender or the Borrower under any Loan Document
or any
other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (iv) all
other
notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of
every
kind in connection with the enforcement of the Obligations
or of
the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, the omission of
or
delay in which, but for the provisions of this Section 4,
might
constitute grounds for relieving the Guarantor of its
obligations
hereunder; and (v) any requirement that the Lender protect,
secure,
perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any
property
subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action
against any
Borrower or any other Person or any Collateral.

             SECTION 5. Subrogation.  The Guarantor hereby
waives
and agrees it will not exercise any rights which it may
acquire by
way of subrogation hereunder, by any payment made by it
hereunder
or otherwise.  If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor
on
account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of
the
Obligations and all such other expenses shall not have been
paid in
full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of
the
Lender, shall be segregated from the other funds of the
Guarantor
and shall forthwith be paid over to the Lender to be applied
in
whole or in part by the Lender against the Obligations,
whether
matured or unmatured, and all such other expenses in
accordance
with the terms of the Financing Agreement.

             SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties.  The
Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:

             (a)  The Guarantor (i) is a corporation duly
organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation as set forth on the first
page
hereof; and (ii) has all requisite power and authority to
execute,
deliver and perform this Guaranty and each other Loan
Document to
which the Guarantor is a party.

             (b)  The execution, delivery and performance by
the
Guarantor of this Guaranty and each other Loan Document to
which
the Guarantor is a party (i) have been duly authorized by
all
necessary corporate action, (ii) do not and will not
contravene its
charter or by-laws or any other applicable law, (iii) do not
and
will not violate any contractual restriction binding on or
otherwise affecting the Guarantor in respect of any
indebtedness of
the Guarantor, and (iv) do not and will not result in or
require
the creation of any lien, security interest or other charge
or
encumbrance upon or with respect to any of its properties
(other
than pursuant to any such Loan Document) pursuant to any
contractual restriction referred to in clause (iii) of this
subsection (b).

             (c)  No authorization, approval or other action
by, and
no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or
other
regulatory body is required in connection with the due
execution,
delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty
or any
of the other Loan Documents to which the Guarantor is a
party.

             (d)  Each of this Guaranty and the other Loan
Documents
to which the Guarantor is a party is a legal, valid and
binding
obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the
Guarantor in
accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by
applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other
similar laws and general equity principles affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

             (e)  There is no pending or, to the best
knowledge of
the Guarantor, threatened action, suit or proceeding against
the
Guarantor or to which any of the properties of the Guarantor
is
subject, before any court or other Governmental Authority or
any
arbitrator (i) which challenges the validity or
enforceability of
this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents to which
the
Guarantor is a party, or (ii) in which there is a reasonable
likelihood of an adverse decision which would materially
adversely
affect the business, operations or financial condition of
the
Guarantor.

             (f)  The Guarantor now has and will continue to
have
independent means of obtaining information concerning the
affairs,
financial condition and business of the Borrower, and has no
need
of, or right to obtain from the Lender, any credit or other
information concerning the affairs, financial condition or
business
of the Borrower that may come under the control of the
Lender.

             SECTION 7. Right of Set-off.  Upon the
occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender
may, and
is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time,
without
notice to the Guarantor (any such notice being expressly
waived by
the Guarantor) and to the fullest extent permitted by law,
set-off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at
any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit of the
account of
the Guarantor against any and all obligations of the
Guarantor now
or hereafter existing under this Guaranty, irrespective of
whether
or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this
Guaranty
and although such obligations may be contingent or
unmatured.  The
Lender agrees to notify the Guarantor promptly after any
such set-
off and application made by the Lender, provided that the
failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off
and application.  The rights of the Lender under this
Section 7 are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Lender may
have.

             SECTION 8. Notices, Etc.  All notices and other
communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing
and shall
be mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return
receipt
requested), telegraphed, telexed or delivered, if to the
Guarantor,
to it at its address at if to the Lender, to it at its
address at
1211 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036; or,
as to
any such Person, at such other address as shall be
designated by
such Person in a written notice to such other Persons
complying as

notices and
other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, when
received or three days after mailing, whichever first
occurs, (ii)
if telegraphed, when delivered to the telegraph company,

telexed, when sent, answerback received, or (iv) if
delivered, upon
delivery.

             SECTION 9. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of
Immunities.

             (a)  The Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits
to the
jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting
in New
York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to
this Guaranty, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees
that all
claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard
and
determined in such New York State or Federal court.  The
Guarantor
hereby irrevocably appoints Proskauer Rose Goetz &
Mendelsohn (the
"Process Agent"), with an office on the date hereof at 1585
Broadway, New York, New York 10036, as its agent to receive
on
behalf of the Guarantor and its property service of copies
of the
summons and complaint and any other process which may be
served in
any such action or proceeding.  Such service may be made by
mailing
(by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and return
receipt requested) or delivering a copy of such process to
the
Guarantor in care of the Process Agent at the Process
Agent's above
address, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its
behalf.  As
an alternative method of service, the Guarantor also
irrevocably
consents to the service of any and all process in any such
action
or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to
the
Guarantor at its address specified in Section 8 hereof.  The
Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law.

             (b)  Nothing in this Section 9 shall affect the
right
of the Lender to serve legal process in any other manner
permitted
by law or affect the right of the Lender to bring any action
or
proceeding against the Guarantor or its property in the
courts of
any other jurisdictions.

             SECTION 10.  Miscellaneous.

             (a)  The Guarantor will make each payment
hereunder in
lawful money of the United States of America and in
immediately
available funds to the Lender at such address specified by
the
Lender from time to time by notice to the Guarantor.

             (b)  No amendment of any provision of this
Guaranty
shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the
Guarantor and the Lender, and no waiver of any provision of
this
Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by the Guarantor
therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and
signed by
the Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which
given.

             (c)  No failure on the part of the Lender to
exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any
other
Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any
single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other
or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
The
rights and remedies of the Lender provided herein and in the
other
Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and
not
exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.  The
rights
of the Lender under any Loan Document against any party
thereto are
not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Lender
to
exercise any of its rights under any other Loan Document
against
such party or against any other Person.

             (d)  Any provision of this Guaranty which is
prohibited
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions
hereof
or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of
such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

             (e)  This Guaranty shall (i) be binding on the
Guaran-
tor and its successors and assigns, and (ii) inure, together
with
all rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder, to the
benefit of
the Lender and its successors, transferees and assigns.
Without
limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately
preceding
sentence, to the extent permitted by Section 12.4 of the
Financing
Agreement, the Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its
rights
under any other Loan Document, to any other Person, and such
other
Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the
benefits in
respect thereof granted to the Lender herein or otherwise.
None of
the rights or obligations of the Guarantor hereunder may be
assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written
consent
of the Lender.

             (f)  This Guaranty shall be governed by and
construed
in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

             IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused
this
Guaranty to be executed by an officer thereunto duly
authorized, as
of the date first above written.

             WHEREAS, the Pledgor, New York Trap Rock

             WHEREAS, pursuant to the Financing Agreement
the Lender
has agreed to make Revolving Loans to the Pledgor and Trap
Rock,
and to assist the Pledgor in obtaining Letters of Credit,
upon the

Letters of
Credit, the Pledgor hereby agrees with the Lender as
follows:

             SECTION 1. Definitions.  All terms used in this
Agreement which are defined in the Financing Agreement or in

currently in
effect in the State of New York and which are not otherwise
defined
herein shall have the same meanings herein as set forth

             SECTION 2. Pledge and Grant of Security
Interest.  The
Pledgor hereby pledges and assigns to the Lender, and grants
to the
Lender a continuing security interest in, the following (the
"Pledged Collateral"):

             (a)  the shares of stock described in Schedule
2(a)
hereto (the "Pledged Shares") issued by the corporations
described
in such Schedule 2(a) (the "Existing Subsidiaries"), the
certificates representing the Pledged Shares, all options
and other
rights, contractual or otherwise, in respect thereof and all
dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to
time
received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of
or in
exchange for any or all of the Pledged Shares;

             (b)  the shares of stock, at any time and from
time to
time acquired by the Pledgor, of any and all Significant
Consolidated Subsidiaries, whether now or hereafter existing
(which, when aggregated with the shares of stock described
in
paragraphs (a) above and (c) below, shall not exceed 65% of
the
outstanding capital stock of any Pledged Subsidiary
organized
outside of the United States) (such significant consolidated
Subsidiaries, together with the Existing Subsidiaries, being
hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Pledged
Subsidiaries"
and individually as a "Pledged Subsidiary"), the
certificates
representing such shares, all options and other rights,
contractual
or otherwise, in respect thereof and all dividends, cash,
instruments and other property from time to time received,
receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in
exchange
for any or all of such shares;

             (c)  all additional shares of stock, from time
to time
acquired by the Pledgor, of any Pledged Subsidiary (which,
when
aggregated with the shares of stock described in paragraphs
(a) and
(b) above, shall not exceed 65% of the outstanding capital
stock of
any Pledged Subsidiary organized outside of the United
States), the
certificates representing such additional shares, all
options and
other rights, contractual or otherwise, in respect thereof
and all
dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to
time
received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of
or in
exchange for any or all of such additional shares; and

             (d) all proceeds of any and all of the
foregoing;

in each case, howsoever its interest therein may arise or
appear
(whether by ownership, security interest, claim or
otherwise).

             SECTION 3. Security for Obligations.  The
security
interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral
constitutes
continuing collateral security for the due performance and
observance by the Pledgor of all of its obligations from
time to
time existing in respect of the Financing Agreement and the
other
Loan Documents.

             SECTION 4. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral.

             (a)  All certificates currently representing
the
Pledged Shares shall be delivered to the Lender on or prior
to the
execution and delivery of this Agreement.  All other
certificates
and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral from time to
time
(the "Additional Shares") shall be delivered to the Lender
within
ten (10) Business Days of the receipt thereof by or on
behalf of
the Pledgor.  All such certificates and instruments shall be
held
by or on behalf of the Lender pursuant hereto and shall be
delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall

(a
"Pledge Amendment") shall be delivered to the Lender, in
respect of
the Additional Shares which are to be pledged pursuant to
this
Agreement, which Pledge Amendment shall from and after
delivery
thereof constitute part of Schedule 2(a).  The Pledgor
hereby
authorizes the Lender to attach each Pledge Amendment to
this
Agreement and agrees that all shares listed on any Pledge
Amendment
delivered to the Lender shall for all purposes hereunder
constitute
Pledged Collateral and shall be deemed upon delivery thereof
to
have made the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 5
with respect to such Additional Shares.

             (b)  If the Pledgor shall receive, by virtue of
its
being or having been an owner of any Pledged Collateral, any

certificate
representing a stock dividend or distribution in connection
with
any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification,
merger,,

option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution

dividends
payable in cash (except such dividends permitted to be
retained by
the Pledgor pursuant to Section 7 hereof) or in securities
or other
property or (iv) dividends or other distributions in
connection
with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in
connection
with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in
surplus,
the Pledgor shall receive such stock certificate, promissory
note,
instrument, option, right, payment or distribution in trust
for the
benefit of the Lender, shall segregate it from the Pledgor's
other
property and shall deliver it forthwith to the Lender in the

Pledgor
represents and warrants as follows:

             (a)  The Pledgor (i) is a corporation duly
organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the

of its incorporation as set forth on the first page hereof,
and

perform this Agreement.

             (b)  The execution, delivery and performance by
the
Pledgor of this Agreement (i) have been duly authorized by
all
necessary corporate action, (ii) do not and will not
contravene its
charter or by-laws, any law applicable to Pledgor or any
contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Pledgor
or any
of its properties, and (iii) do not and will not result in
or
require the creation of any lien, security interest or other
charge
or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of its
properties.

             (c)  This Agreement is a legal, valid and
binding
obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable against the Pledgor
in
accordance with its terms except as may be limited by
applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other
similar laws and general equity principles affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

             (d)  The Existing Subsidiaries set forth in
Schedule
2(a) hereto are the Pledgor's only Significant Consolidated
Subsidiaries existing on the date hereof.  The Pledged
Shares have
been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and
nonassessable and, except as noted in Schedule 2(a) hereto,
constitute 100% of the issued shares of capital stock of the
Pledged Subsidiaries or, in the case of Pledged Subsidiaries
organized outside of the United States, 65% of the issued
shares of
capital stock of such Pledged Subsidiaries.  All other
shares of
stock constituting Pledged Collateral will be duly
authorized and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

             (e)  The Pledgor is and will be at all times
the legal
and beneficial owner of the Pledged Collateral free and
clear of
any lien, security interest, option or other charge or
encumbrance
except for the security interest created by this Agreement.

             (f)  The exercise by the Lender of any of its
rights
and remedies hereunder will not contravene law or any
contractual
restriction binding on or affecting the Pledgor or any of
its
properties and will not result in or require the creation of
any
lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon
or with
respect to any of its properties.

             (g)  No authorization or approval or other
action by,
and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority
or
other regulatory body is required for (i) the due execution,
delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this Agreement,
(ii) the
grant by the Pledgor, or the perfection, of the security
interest
purported to be created hereby in the Pledged Collateral or
(iii)
the exercise by the Lender of any of its rights and remedies
hereunder, except as may be required in connection with any
sale of
any Pledged Collateral by laws affecting the offering and
sale of
securities generally.

             (h) This Agreement creates a valid security
interest in
favor of the Lender in the Pledged Collateral, as security
for the
Obligations.  The Lender's having possession of the
certificates
representing the Pledged Shares and all other certificates,
instruments and cash constituting Pledged Collateral from
time to
time results in the perfection of such security interest.
Such
security interest is, or in the case of Pledged Collateral
in which
the Pledgor obtains rights after the date hereof, will be, a
perfected, first priority security interest.  All action
necessary
or desirable to perfect and protect such security interest
has been
duly taken, except for the Lender's having possession of
certificates, instruments and cash constituting Pledged
Collateral
after the date hereof.

             SECTION 6. Covenants as to the Pledged
Collateral.  So
long as any Obligations shall remain outstanding, the
Pledgor will,
unless the Lender shall otherwise consent in writing:

             (a)  keep adequate records concerning the
Pledged
Collateral and permit the Lender or any agents or
representatives
thereof to examine and make copies of and abstracts from
such
records in accordance with Section 7.2 of the Financing
Agreement;

             (b)  at its expense, promptly deliver to the
Lender a
copy of each material notice or other communication received
by it
in respect of the Pledged Collateral;

             (c)  at its expense, defend the Lender's right,
title
and security interest in and to the Pledged Collateral
against the
claims of any Person;

             (d)  at its expense, at any time and from time
to time,
promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents
and take all further action that may be necessary or
desirable or
that the Lender may reasonably request in order to (i)
perfect and
protect the security interest purported to be created
hereby, (ii)
enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies
hereunder in respect of the Pledged Collateral or (iii)
otherwise
effect the purposes of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, delivering to the Lender, from and after the
occurrence
of an Event of Default, irrevocable proxies in respect of
the
Pledged Collateral;

             (e)  not sell, assign (by operation of law or
other-
wise), exchange or otherwise dispose of any Pledged
Collateral or
any interest therein except as permitted by Section 7(a)(i)
hereof;

             (f)  not create or suffer to exist any lien,
security
interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect
to any
Pledged Collateral except for the security interest created
hereby;

             (g)  not make or consent to any amendment or
other
modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged
Collateral or
enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction
with
respect to any Pledged Collateral other than pursuant
hereto;

             (h)  not permit the issuance of (i) any
additional
shares of any class of capital stock of any Pledged
Subsidiary,
(ii) any securities convertible voluntarily by the holder
thereof
or automatically upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of
any event
or condition into, or exchangeable for, any such shares of
capital
stock or (iii) any warrants, options, contracts or other
commitments entitling any Person to purchase or otherwise
acquire
any such shares of capital stock; and

             (i)  not take or fail to take any action which
would in
any manner impair the value or enforceability of the
Lender's
security interest in any Pledged Collateral.

             SECTION 7. Voting Rights, Dividends, Etc. in
Respect of
the Pledged Collateral.

             (a)  So long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred
and be continuing:

                  (i)   the Pledgor may exercise any and all
voting
and other consensual rights pertaining to any Pledged
Collateral
for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement
or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (A) the
Pledgor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any
such
right, as the case may be, if the Lender gives it notice
that, in
the Lender's reasonable judgment, such action would have a
material
adverse effect on the value of any Pledged Collateral and
(B) the
Pledgor will give the Lender at least five days' notice of
the
manner in which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for
refraining from exercising, any such right;

                  (ii)   the Pledgor may receive and retain
any and
all dividends and interest paid in respect of the Pledged
Collateral; provided, however, that any and all (A)
dividends and
interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of,
and
instruments and other property received, receivable or
otherwise
distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged
Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or
payable
in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection
with a
partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection
with a
reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus and
(C)
cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption
of, or in
exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, shall be, and shall
forthwith
be delivered to the Lender to hold as, Pledged Collateral
and
shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for
the
benefit of the Lender, shall be segregated from the other
property
or funds of the Pledgor, and shall be forthwith delivered to
the
Lender in the exact form received with any necessary
endorsement
and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to
be held
by the Lender as Pledged Collateral and as further
collateral
security for the Obligations; and

                  (iii)  the Lender will execute and deliver
(or
cause to be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor all such
proxies
and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably request
for the
purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the voting and
other
rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to
paragraph (i)
of this Section 7(a) and to receive the dividends which it
is
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii)
of this
Section 7(a).

             (b)  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of
an Event of Default:

                  (i)  all rights of the Pledgor to exercise
the
voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise
be
entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) of subsection
(a) of
this Section 7, and to receive the dividends and interest
payments
which it would otherwise be authorized to receive -and
retain
pursuant to paragraph (ii) of subsection (a) of this Section
7,
shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become
vested in
the Lender which shall thereupon have the sole right to
exercise
such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and
hold as
Pledged Collateral such dividends and interest payments;

                  (ii) without limiting the generality of
the
foregoing, the Lender may at its option exercise any and all
rights
of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights,
privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged
Collateral
as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without
limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion, any
and all
of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of any
Pledged
Subsidiary, or upon the exercise by any Pledged Subsidiary
of any
right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged
Collateral,
and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and
all of
the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository,
transfer
agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms
and
conditions as it may determine; and

                  (iii)   all dividends which are received
by the
Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this
Section
7(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the
Lender,
shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and
shall be
forthwith paid over to the Lender as Pledged Collateral in
the
exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or
appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held
by the
Lender as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral
security for
the Obligations.

             SECTION 8.  Additional Provisions Concerning
the
Pledged Collateral.

             (a)  The Pledgor hereby authorizes the Lender
to file,
without the signature of the Pledgor where permitted by law,
one or
more financing or continuation statements, and amendments
thereto,
relating to the Pledged Collateral.

             (b)  The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints
the Lender
the Pledgor's attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full
authority in
the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the
Pledgor
or otherwise, from time to time in the Lender's reasonable
discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument
which
the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of the
Pledgor
under Section 7(a) hereof), including, without limitation,
to
receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to
the
Pledgor representing any dividend or other distribution in
respect
of any Pledged Collateral and to give full discharge for the
same.

             (c)  If the Pledgor fails to perform any
agreement or
obligation contained herein, the Lender itself may perform,
or
cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the
expenses of the Lender incurred in connection therewith
shall be
payable by the Pledgor pursuant to Section 10 hereof.

             (d)  other than the exercise of reasonable care
to
assure the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral while held
hereunder, the Lender shall have no duty or liability to
preserve
rights pertaining thereto and shall be relieved of all
responsibility for the Pledged Collateral upon surrendering
it or
tendering surrender of it to the Pledgor.  The Lender shall
be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if
the
Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal
to
that which the Lender accords its own property, it being
understood
that the Lender shall not have responsibility for (i)
ascertaining
or taking action with respect to calls, conversions,
exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged
Collateral, whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to
have
knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary
steps to
preserve rights against any parties with respect to any
Pledged
Collateral.

             (e)  The Lender may at any time in its
discretion (i)
without notice to the Pledgor, transfer or register in the
name of
the Lender or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged
Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights of the
Pledgor
under Section 7(a) hereof, and (ii) exchange certificates or
instruments constituting Pledged Collateral for certificates
or
instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

             SECTION 9. Remedies Upon Default.  If any Event
of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

             (a)  The Lender may exercise in respect of the
Pledged
Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies
provided for
herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and
remedies
of a secured party on default under the Code then in effect
in the
State of New York; and without limiting the generality of
the
foregoing and without notice except as specified below, sell
the
Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more
parcels at
public or private sale, at any exchange or broker's board or
elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms
as the
Lender may deem commercially reasonable.  The Pledgor agrees
that,
to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at
least 10
days' notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any
public
sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made
shall
constitute reasonable notification.  The Lender shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless
of
notice of sale having been given.  The Lender may adjourn
any
public or private sale from time to time by announcement at
the
time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further
notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned.

             (b)  In the event that the Lender determines to
exer-
cise its right to sell all or any part of the Pledged
Collateral
pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 9, the Pledgor
will, at
the Pledgors expense and upon request by the Lender
cooperate with
the Lender in connection with any registration statement or
release
made by or on behalf of Lender with respect to all or any
part of
the Pledged Collateral under the provisions of the
Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or state
securities or
"Blue Sky" laws, and do or cause to be done all such other
acts and
things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Pledged
Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with
applicable law.
The Pledgor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining
the
amount of damages which would be suffered by the Lender by
reason
of the failure by the Pledgor to perform any of the
covenants
contained in this Section 9(b) and, consequently, agrees
that, if
the Pledgor fails to perform any of such covenants, it shall
pay,
as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal
to the
value of the Pledged Collateral on the date the Lender
demands
compliance with this Section 9(b); provided, however, that
the
payment of such amount shall not release the Pledgor from
any of
its obligations under any of the other Loan Documents.

             (c)  Notwithstanding the provisions of
subsection (b)
of this Section 9, the Pledgor recognizes that the Lender
may deem
it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part
of the
Pledged Shares or any other securities constituting Pledged
Collateral and that the Lender may, therefore, determine to
make
one or more private sales of any such securities to a
restricted
group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among
other
things, to acquire such securities for their own account,
for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof.  The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private
sale may
be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than
the
prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a
public
sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such
private
sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner and that the Lender shall have no
obligation to
delay sale of any such securities for the period of time
necessary
to permit the issuer of such securities to register such
securities
for public sale under the Securities Act.  The Pledgor
further
acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such
securities
which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis
in a
newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the
financial community of New York, New York (to the extent
that such
an offer may be so advertised without prior registration
under the
Securities Act) or (ii) made privately in the manner
described
above to not less than fifteen bona fide offerees shall be
deemed
to involve a "Public sale" for the purposes of Section 9-
504(3) of
the Code (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory
provision) as then in effect in the State of New York,
notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a "public
offering" under the Securities Act, and that the Lender may,
in
such event, bid for the purchase of such securities.

             (d)  Any cash held by the Lender as Pledged
Collateral
and all cash proceeds received by the Lender in respect of
any sale
of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any
part of
the Pledged Collateral may, in the discretion of the Lender,
be
held by the Lender as collateral for, and/or then or at any
time
thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to
the
Lender pursuant to Section 10 hereof) in whole or in part by
the
Lender against, all or any part of the Obligations in such
order as
the Lender shall elect.  Any surplus of such cash or cash
proceeds
held by the Lender and remaining after payment in full of
all of
the Obligations shall be paid over to the Pledgor or to such
Person
as may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

             (e)  In the event that the proceeds of any such
sale,
collection or realization are insufficient to pay all
amounts to
which the Lender is legally entitled, the Pledgor shall be
liable
for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the
highest
rate specified in any Loan Document for interest on overdue
principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by
applicable law, together with the costs of collection and
the
reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Lender to
collect
such deficiency.

             SECTION 10.  Indemnity and Expenses.

             (a)  The Pledgor agrees to indemnify the Lender
from
and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities
growing out
of or resulting from this Agreement (including, without
limitation,
enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or
liabilities resulting solely and directly from the Lender's
gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

             (b)  The Pledgor will upon demand pay to the
Lender the
amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the fees
and
disbursements of the Lender's counsel and of any experts and
agents, which the Lender may incur in connection with (i)
the
administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody,
preservation,
use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or
other
realization upon, any Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise
or
enforcement of any of the rights of the Lender hereunder or
(iv)
the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the
provisions hereof.

             SECTION 11.  Notices, Etc.  All notices and
other
communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing
and shall
be mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return
receipt
requested), telegraphed, telexed or delivered, if to the
Pledgor,
to its address at 300 First Stamford Place, Stamford, CT
06912-
0014; and if to the Lender, to its address at 1211 Avenue of
the
Americas, New York, New York 10036; or as to either such
Person at
such other address as shall be designated by such Person in
a
written notice to such other Person complying as to delivery
with
the terms of this Section 11.  All such notices and other
communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, when
received or
three days after mailing, whichever first occurs, (ii) if
telegraphed, when delivered to the telegraph company, if
telexed,
when sent, answerback received, or (iv) if delivered, upon
delivery.

             SECTION 12.  Miscellaneous.

             (a)  No amendment of any provision of this
Agreement
shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the
Pledgor and the Lender, and no waiver of any provision of
this
Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Pledgor
therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and
signed by
the Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which
given.

             (b)  No failure on the part of the Lender to
exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any
other
Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall
any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any
other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
The
rights and remedies of the Lender provided herein and in the
other
Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and
not
exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.  The
rights
of the Lender under any Loan Document against any party
thereto are
not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Lender
to
exercise any of its rights under any other Loan Document
against
such party or against any other Person.

             (c)  Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohi-
bited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions
hereof
or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of
such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

             (d)  This Agreement shall create a continuing
security
interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) remain in
full
force and effect until the payment in full or release after
the
Termination Date of the obligations and (ii) be binding on
the
Pledgor and its successors and assigns and shall inure,
together
with all rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder, to the
benefit of the Lender and its successors, transferees and
assigns.
Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the
immediately
preceding sentence, the Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer its
rights under any Loan Document to any other Person, and such
other
Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the
benefits in
respect thereof granted to the Lender herein or otherwise to
the
extent permitted in accordance with Section 12.4 of the
Financing
Agreement.  None of the rights or obligations of the Pledgor
hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without
the
prior written consent of the Lender.

             (e)  Upon the satisfaction in full after the
Termina-
tion Date of the Obligations, (i) this Agreement and the
security
interest created hereby shall terminate and all rights to
the
Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Pledgor, and (ii) the
Lender
will, upon the Pledgors request and at the Pledgor's
expense, (A)
return to the Pledgor such of the Pledged Collateral as
shall not
have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant
to the
terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to the Pledgor such
documents as the Pledgor shall reasonably request to
evidence such
termination.

             (f)  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed
in accordance with the law of the State of New York, except
as
required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the
extent
that the validity and perfection or the perfection and the
effect
of perfection or non-perfection of the security interest
created
hereby, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular
Pledged
Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other
than the
State of New York.

             IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Pledgor has caused this
Agree-
ment to be executed and delivered by its officer thereunto
duly
authorized, as of the date first above written.

DEPOSITORY ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

[Name and
Address of
Depository Account Bank]

Gentlemen:

             We refer to the following account[s] maintained
with
you by Lone Star Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), into
which
certain monies, instruments and other property are deposited
from
time to time (collectively, the "Depository Account").  The
Company
has entered into a Financing Agreement, dated as of April
13, 1994
(as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Financing
Agreement"), with New York Trap Rock Corporation ("Trap
Rock") and
The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. (the "Lender"), pursuant
to
which the Lender has agreed to make loans to the Company and
Trap
Rock and assist the Company in obtaining letters of credit.
It is
a condition to the continued maintenance of the Depository
Account
with you that you agree to execute this Letter Agreement.

             By signing this Letter Agreement, you agree
that from
and after the date hereof, the Depository Account shall be
under
the exclusive dominion and control of the Lender, all
monies,
instruments or other property of the Company received in
connection
therewith, whether or not deposited in the Depository
Account,
shall be held solely for the benefit of the Lender and no
officer
or agent of the Company shall have the authority to withdraw
or
transfer any funds on deposit in the Depository Account.
The
Lender shall have the sole authority to give you
instructions with
respect to the withdrawal or transfer of any funds on
deposit in
the Depository Account.  You agree to:

             (a)  follow your usual operating procedures for
the
handling of any remittance received in the Depository
Account that
contains restrictive endorsements, irregularities, such as a
variance between the written and numerical amounts, undated
or
postdated items, missing signature, incorrect payee, etc.;

             (b)  indorse and process all eligible checks
and other
remittance items, not covered by subparagraph (a) above,
deposit
such checks and other remittance items in the Depository
Account
and transfer intact all amounts deposited in respect thereof
to the
CIT Concentration Account (as defined below);

             (c)  not commingle any cash or other payments
deposited
in the Depository Account with other funds; and

             (d)  maintain a record of all checks and other
remittance items received in the Depository Account and, in
addition to providing the Company with photostats, vouchers,
enclosures, etc. of checks and other remittance items
received on a
daily basis, as well as a monthly statement, furnish to the
Lender
upon the request of the Lender, free of any service charge
payable
by the Lender, your regular bank statement with respect to
the
Depository Account, with the words "The CIT Group/Business
Credit,
Inc., as Lender Re: Lone Star Industries, Inc." included
thereon so
that the Lender is able to properly identify the Depository
Account.

             You hereby agree to transfer in same day funds,

Depository Account, less charges for returned items received

                            Account #:

designated
in writing by the Lender.  In order to enable the Lender to
properly reconcile the Company's records, you agree that
each such
transfer of funds by you to the CIT Concentration Account
shall not
reflect the rounding off of any funds so transferred.

             You waive and agree not to assert, claim or
endeavor to
exercise, and by executing this Letter Agreement bar and
estop
yourself from asserting, claiming or exercising, any right
to
setoff, banker's lien or other purported form of claim with
respect
to the Depository Account and funds from time to time
therein.  You
acknowledge that you have not heretofore received a notice
from any
other party asserting, claiming or exercising any such right
or
claim.  You shall have no rights in the Depository Account
or the
funds therein.  To the extent you may ever have any such
rights,
you hereby expressly subordinate all such rights to the
rights of
the Lender.

             You may terminate this Letter Agreement only
upon
thirty days, prior written notice to that effect to the
Company and
the Lender, by cancelling the Depository Account maintained
with
you and transferring all funds, if any, in such Depository
Account
to the CIT Concentration Account at the address set forth
above.
After any such termination, you shall nonetheless remain
obligated
promptly to transfer to the CIT Concentration Account
anything from
time to time received in the Depository Account.

             This Letter Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York.

                                      Very truly yours,

receipt
of which is hereby acknowledged, and as collateral security

any

not

Loan Agreement.  As used in this Agreement, unless the
context
otherwise requires:

extensions or
renewals thereof and all licenses thereof.

             2.   Debtor hereby represents, warrants,
covenants and
agrees as follows:

                  (a)  Debtor is a corporation duly
organized and
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State
of Delaware.  Debtor is qualified to do business in every
jurisdiction where the nature of its business or the
ownership of
its property requires it to be so qualified and where
failure to so
qualify might materially affect its business or assets.

                  (b)  The execution, delivery and
performance of
this Security Agreement and Mortgage-Trademarks, the Loan
Agreement, and all other documents and all and any other
instruments and documents to be delivered by Debtor
hereunder and
the creation of all liens, mortgages and security interests
provided for herein are within Debtor's corporate power,
have been
duly authorized by all necessary or proper corporate action
(including the consent of shareholders where required), are
not in
contravention of any agreement or indenture to which the
Debtor is
a party or by which the Debtor is bound, or of the
certificate of
incorporation or by-laws of the Debtor, and are not in
contravention of any provision of law and the same do not
require
the consent or approval of any governmental body, agency,
authority
or any other person which has not been obtained.

                  (c)  Debtor has the sole, full and clear
title to
the Trademarks in the United States for the goods and
services
covered by the registrations thereof and such registrations
are
valid and subsisting and in full force and effect.

                  (d)  No claim has been made that the use
of the
Trademarks does or may violate the rights of any third
party.

                  (e)  Debtor has used, and will continue to
use for
the duration hereof, proper statutory notice in connection
with the
use of the Trademarks.

                  (f)  Debtor has used, and will continue to
use for
the duration hereof, consistent standards of quality in its
manufacture of products sold under the Trademarks.

                  (g)  To the best of Debtor's knowledge and
belief
after due inquiry, no material infringement or unauthorized
use
presently is being made of the Collateral.

                  (h)  Debtor will perform all acts and
execute all
documents, including, without limitation, assignments for
security
in form suitable for filing with the United States Patent
and
Trademark Office, substantially in the form of Exhibit I
hereof,
requested by the Secured Party at any time to evidence,
perfect,
maintain, record and enforce the Secured Party's interest in
the
Collateral or otherwise in furtherance of the provisions of
this
Agreement, and Debtor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to
execute and file one or more financing statements (and
similar
documents) or copies thereof or of this Security Agreement
with
respect to the Collateral signed only by the Secured Party.

                  (i)  Except to the extent that the Secured
Party,
upon prior written notice of Debtor, shall consent (which
consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), Debtor (either itself
or
through licensees) will continue to use the Trademarks on
each and
every trademark class of goods applicable to its current
line as
reflected in its current catalogs, brochures and price lists
in
order to maintain the Trademarks in full force free from any
claim
of abandonment for nonuse and Debtor will not (and will not
permit
any licensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do
any act
whereby any Trademark may become invalidated.

                  (j)  Debtor will promptly pay the Secured
Party
for any and all reasonable sums, costs, and expenses which
the
Secured Party may pay or incur pursuant to the provisions of
this
Agreement or in enforcing the obligations, the Collateral or
the
security interest granted hereunder, including, but not
limited to,
all filing or recording fees, court costs, collection
charges and
reasonable attorneys' fees, all of which together with
interest at
the highest rate then payable on the obligations shall be
part of
the Obligations and be payable on demand.

                  (k)  In no event shall Debtor, either
itself or
through agent, employee, licensee or designee, (i) file an
application for the registration of any Trademark with the
United
States Patent and Trademark office or any similar office or
agency
in any other country or any political subdivision thereof or
(ii)
file any assignment of any trademark, which Debtor may
acquire from
a third party, with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office
or any similar office or agency in any other country or any
political subdivision thereof, unless Debtor shall, on or
prior to
the date of such filing, notify the Secured Party thereof,
and,
upon request of the Secured Party, execute and deliver any
and all
assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and papers
as the
Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the Secured
Party's interest in such Trademark and the goodwill and
general
intangibles of Debtor relating thereto or represented
thereby, and
Debtor hereby constitutes the Secured Party its attorney-in-
fact to
execute and file all such writings for the foregoing
purposes, all
acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed;
such
power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until
the
Obligations are paid in full.

                  (l)  Debtor has the right and power to
make the
assignment and to grant the security interest herein
granted; and
the Collateral is not now, and at all times hereafter will
not be,
subject to any liens, mortgages, assignments, security
interests or
encumbrances of any nature whatsoever, except in favor of
the
Secured Party, and to the best knowledge of Debtor none of
the
Collateral is now subject to any claim.

                  (m)  Except to the extent that Secured
Party, upon
prior written notice from Debtor, shall consent, Debtor will
not
assign, sell, mortgage, lease, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate, grant
a security interest in or lien upon, grant an exclusive or
non-
exclusive license, or otherwise dispose of any of the
Collateral,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a consent by
the
Secured Party to any such action except as expressly
permitted
herein.

                  (n)  As of the date hereof neither Debtor
nor any
subsidiary thereof owns any Trademarks or has any Trademarks
registered in, or the subject of pending applications in,
the
United States Patent and Trademark Office or any similar
office or
agency in any other country or any political subdivision
thereof,
other than those described in Schedules A and B hereto.

                  (o)  Debtor will take all necessary steps
in any
proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark
Office or
any similar office or agency in any other country or any
political
subdivision thereof, to maintain each application and
registration
of the Trademarks, including, without limitation, filing of
renewals,, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability
and
opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings
(except to
the extent that dedication, abandonment or invalidation is
permitted under paragraph 2(i) hereof).

                  (p)  Debtor assumes all responsibility and
liability arising from the use of the Trademarks, and Debtor
hereby
indemnities and holds Secured Party harmless from and
against any
claim, suit, loss, damage or expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) arising out of any alleged defect in any
product
manufactured, promoted or sold by Debtor (or any subsidiary
thereof) in connection with any Trademark or out of the
manufacture, promotion, labeling, sale or advertisement of
any such
product by Debtor (or any subsidiary thereof).  Debtor
agrees that
Secured Party does not assume, and shall have no
responsibility
for, the payment of any sums due or to become due under any
agreement or contract included in the Collateral or the
performance
of any obligations to be performed under or with respect to
any
such agreement or contract by Debtor, and Debtor hereby
agrees to
indemnify and hold the Secured Party harmless with respect
to any
and all claims by any person relating thereto.

                  (q)  Secured Party may, in its sole
discretion,
pay any amount or do any act required of Debtor hereunder or
requested by Secured Party to preserve, defend, protect,
maintain,
record or enforce Debtors obligations contained herein, the
obligations, the Collateral, or the right, title and
interest
granted Secured Party herein, and which Debtor fails to do
or pay,
and any such payment shall be deemed an advance by Secured
Party to
Debtor and shall be payable on demand together with interest
at the
highest rate then payable on the Obligations.

                  (r)  Debtor agrees that if it, or any
subsidiary
thereof, learns of any use by any Person of any term or
design
likely to cause confusion with a Trademark, it shall
promptly
notify Secured Party of such use and, if requested by
Secured
Party, shall join with Secured Party, at its expense, in
such
action as Secured Party, in its reasonable discretion, may
deem
advisable for the protection of Secured Party's interest in
and to
the Trademarks.

                  (s)  All licenses of Trademarks which
Debtor has
granted to third parties are set forth in Schedule C hereto.

                  3.   Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default
(as defined in the Loan Agreement), in addition to all other
rights
and remedies of the Secured Party, whether under law, the
Loan
Agreement or otherwise, all such rights and remedies being
cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable alternatively,
successively or concurrently, without (except as provided
herein)
notice to, or consent by, Debtor, the Secured Party shall
have the
following rights and remedies: (a) the Secured Party may, at
any
time and from time to time, upon 10 days' prior notice to
Debtor,
license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether
on an
exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any of the Trademarks,
throughout
the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in
such
manner, as the Secured Party shall in its sole discretion
determine; (b) the Secured Party may (without assuming any
obligations or liability thereunder), at any time, enforce
(and
shall have the exclusive right to enforce) against any
licensee or
sublicensee all rights and remedies of Debtor in, to and
under any
one or more license agreements with respect to the
Collateral, and
take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof,
and
Debtor hereby releases the Secured Party from, and agrees to
hold
the Secured Party free and harmless from and against any
claims
arising out of, any action taken or omitted to be taken with
respect to any such license agreement; (c) the Secured Party
may,
at any time and from time to time, upon 10 days' prior
notice to
Debtor, assign, sell, or otherwise dispose of, the
Collateral or
any of it, either with or without special or other
conditions or
stipulations, with power to buy the Collateral or any part
of it,
and with power also to execute assurances, and do all other
acts
and things for completing the assignment, sale or
disposition which
the Secured Party shall, in its sole discretion, deem
appropriate
or proper; and (d) in addition to the foregoing, in order to
implement the assignment, sale or other disposal of any of
the
Collateral pursuant to subparagraph 3(c) hereof, the Secured
Party
may, at any time, pursuant to the authority granted in the
Powers
of Attorney described in paragraph 4 hereof (such authority
becoming effective on the occurrence or continuation as
hereinabove
provided of an Event of Default), execute and deliver on
behalf of
Debtor, one or more instruments of assignment of the
Trademarks (or
any application or registration thereof), in form suitable
for
filing, recording or registration in any country.  Debtor
agrees to
pay when due all reasonable costs incurred in any such
transfer of
the Trademarks, including any taxes, fees and reasonable
attorneys'
fees, and all such costs shall be added to the Obligations.
The
Secured Party may apply the proceeds actually received from
any
such license, assignment, sale or other disposition to the
reasonable costs and expenses thereof, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and all legal and
other
expenses which may be incurred by the Secured Party, and
then to
the Obligations, in such order as to principal or interest
as the
Secured Party may desire; and Debtor shall remain liable and
will
pay the Secured Party on demand any deficiency remaining,
together
with interest thereon at a rate equal to the highest rate
then
payable on the Obligations and the balance of any expenses
unpaid.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring the
Secured Party to take any such action at any time.  In the
event of
any such license, assignment, sale or other disposition of
the
Collateral, or any of it, after the occurrence or
continuation as
hereinabove provided of an Event of Default, Debtor shall
supply
its customer lists and other records relating to the
Trademarks and
to the distribution of said products, to the Secured Party
or its
designee.

                  4.   Concurrently with the execution and
delivery
hereof, Debtor    is executing and delivering to the Secured
Party,
in the form of    Exhibit 2 hereto, five originals of a
Power of
Attorney for the implementation of the assignment, sale or
other
disposal of the Trademarks pursuant to paragraphs 3(c) and
(d)
hereof and Debtor hereby releases the Secured Party from any
claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out
of or
with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
the
Secured Party under the powers of attorney granted herein,
other
than actions taken or omitted to be taken through the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party.
Secured
Party hereby agrees after the Termination Date and after all
obligations for the payment of money have been paid in full
in cash
to (a) deliver all originals of the Power of Attorney to the
Debtor
or (b) destroy all originals of the Power of Attorney and
deliver a
certificate to the Debtor certifying to such destruction.

                  5.   No provision hereof shall be
modified,
altered or limited except by a written instrument expressly
referring to this Agreement      and executed by the party
to be
charged. The execution and delivery of this Agreement has
been
authorized by the Board of Directors of Debtor and by any
necessary
vote or consent of stockholders thereof.  This Agreement
shall be
binding upon the successors, assigns or other legal
representatives
of Debtor, and shall, together with the rights and remedies
of the
Secured Party hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Secured
Party,
its successors, assigns or other legal representatives.
This
Agreement, the Obligations and the Collateral shall be
governed in
all respects by the laws of the United States and the laws
of the
State of New York.  Debtor hereby submits to the
nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
and the
federal courts of the United States of America located in
such
State in any action or proceeding arising under this
Agreement.  If
any term of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid,
illegal or
unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall
in no
way be affected thereby.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Debtor and the Secured
Party
have caused this Agreement to be executed by their
respective
officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year
first
above written.

     Re:  Lone Star Industries, Inc.

Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to (i) the Mortgage, Security
Agreement,
Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Financing Statement
entered
into between Lone Star Industries, Inc. ("LSI"), as
mortgagor,
and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC"),
as
mortgagee, dated as of April 13, 1994 (the "Mortgage"),
relating
to the real property and building and improvements thereon
commonly known as the Oglesby Cement Plant Facility as more
particularly described in Schedule A annexed hereto (the
"Premises"), (ii) the Settlement Agreement by and between
the
Lone Star Group, which group includes LSI, and the PBGC
dated as
of April 13, 1994 (the "Settlement Agreement"), and (iii)
the
Security Agreement by and among the PBGC, LSI and Lone Star
Cement Inc. (the "Security Agreement" and together with the
Mortgage, the Settlement Agreement and all related
agreements,
documents and instruments, collectively, the "PBGC
Transaction
Documents").

     Reference is made to (i) the Financing Agreement dated
as of
April 13, 1994 (as amended or otherwise modified from time
to
time, being hereinafter referred to as the "Financing
Agreement")
among LSI and New York Trap Rock Corporation ("Trap Rock"
and
together with LSI, each a "Company" and collectively, the
"Companies") and The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. (the
"Lender") and (ii) the other Loan Documents (as defined in
the
Financing Agreement) granting collateral security to the
Lender.
(All of the foregoing, together with all related documents
or
instruments, as the same may now exist or may hereafter be
amended or supplemented, are collectively referred to herein
as
the "Loan Agreements".)

     Pursuant to the terms of the PBGC Transaction
Documents, LSI
has granted to PBGC a security interest in the Kosmos
Partnership
(as defined in the Security Agreement) and the Oglesby
Complex
(as defined in the Security Agreement), which latter
definition
specifically excludes all accounts receivable (other than
accounts receivable generated (i) after the appointment of a
receiver for the Premises and (ii) from inventory not part
of the
Lender's Collateral) and all inventories other than fuel and
spare parts inventories located at LSI's facility in
Oglesby,
Illinois.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreements, the
Companies
have granted to the Lender a security interest in and a lien
on
all now owned or hereafter acquired or existing accounts
(other
than accounts receivable generated (i) after the appointment
of a
receiver for the Premises and (ii) from inventory not part
of the
Lender's Collateral), contract rights, general intangibles,
documents, instruments, chattel paper, inventory and the
proceeds
thereof as the same are defined in the Uniform Commercial
Code as
currently in effect in the State of Illinois, excluding (i)
LSI's
interest in the Kosmos Partnership (as defined in the
Security
Agreement), (ii) LSI's rights in the fuel and spare parts
inventory located at LSI's facility in Oglesby, Illinois,
(iii)
LSI's rights in contracts and marketing agreements directly
relating to LSI's facility in Oglesby, Illinois, (iv) all
patents
of LSI, and (v) the proceeds of insurance policies covering
fixed
assets to the extent such proceeds are not proceeds of the
Lender's Collateral (as hereinafter defined) (collectively,
the
"Lender's Collateral"), as security for any now existing or
hereafter arising obligations of the Companies to the
Lender,
whether pursuant to the Loan Agreements or otherwise.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the PBGC
Transaction Documents or any related documents, the PBGC
hereby
acknowledges and consents to, and waives any default
otherwise
arising from, the pledge of, and the granting of a lien on
and
security interest in, the Lender's Collateral by the
Companies in
favor of the Lender.

     In the event of a default or event of default by LSI
under
the PBGC Transaction Documents, the PBGC agrees to use good
faith
efforts to promptly notify the Lender in writing of such
default
and of the exercise by the PBGC of any of its rights under
the
PBGC Transaction Documents, provided that the PBGC shall not
be
subject to any liability for the inadvertent failure to
provide
such notice to the Lender.

     The PBGC hereby waives the PBGC's lien, right of
distraint,
levy or execution, security interests or other interests
which
the PBGC may now or hereafter have in any of the Lender's
Collateral now or hereafter located at the Premises, whether
for
unpaid rent or otherwise and whether by virtue of the PBGC
Transaction Documents, the mortgagor-mortgagee relationship,
statute, common law doctrine, or otherwise.  In no event,
including, without limitation, a default or event of default
under the PBGC Transaction Documents, shall the PBGC have
any
lien, right, interest or claim in or to the Lender's
Collateral.

     To the extent the PBGC now or in the future has any
right,
claim, interest or lien in the Lender's Collateral, PBGC
hereby
waives and relinquishes in favor of the Lender, any such
right,
claim, interest and lien which the PBGC now has or may
hereafter
have in and to the Lender's Collateral.  Lender's security
interest in the Lender's Collateral, to the extent perfected
and
enforceable, shall be deemed to have a priority senior to
any
mortgage or security interest the PBGC may hereafter acquire
in
the Lender's Collateral.  Lender's priority in respect of
Lender's Collateral shall be irrespective of the time, order
or
method of attachment or perfection of security interests, or
the
time or order of the filing of mortgages or financing
statements,
or the giving of or failure to give notice of purchase money
security interests.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary,
the Lender recognizes the non-exclusive license granted by
LSI to
the PBGC in the trademarks directly related to the use and
operation of the Premises pursuant to Section 3.2 of the
Security
Agreement and agrees that, upon the exercise of the Lender's
remedies with respect to the Lender's Collateral, the Lender
will
recognize and take the Lender's Collateral subject to such
non-
exclusive license.

     The PBGC hereby agrees that, upon prior written notice
to
the PBGC, the Lender and its agents and representatives may
enter
the Premises for the purposes of inspecting, repossessing,
removing, selling or otherwise dealing with the Lender's
Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Loan
Agreements, the Uniform Commercial Code and any other
applicable
law, provided that the Lender shall not interfere with the
PBGC's
use or operation of the Premises.  Said license shall be
irrevocable and shall continue at the Lender's option from
the
date the Lender enters the Premises for a period not to
exceed
one hundred twenty (120) days.  Use or occupancy of the
Premises
by the Lender as set forth herein shall not constitute an
assumption by the Lender of the PBGC Transaction Documents
or of
any obligations thereunder.

     In the event any Lender's Collateral, or any
collections or
other proceeds thereof, shall be received by the PBGC at any
time
for any reason, the PBGC shall take all reasonable actions
to
make such Lender's Collateral and the proceeds thereof
available
to the Lender, so long as there shall be any outstanding
obligations or liabilities of the companies to the Lender.

     Notice to any party hereunder shall be in writing and
shall
be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
parties at the following addresses:

State of Illinois.

     This Agreement may not be changed or terminated orally
and
shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the
parties
hereto and shall also be binding upon any successor, owner,

existence of, this Agreement.

delivered
this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

SECTION 2.02   Execution and Authentication.

          Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the
Obligor by
manual or facsimile signature.  The Obligor's seal shall be
reproduced
on the Securities.  An Officer of the Guarantor shall sign
the
notation on the Securities relating to the Guarantee
Agreement by
manual or facsimile signature.

          If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no
longer
holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated,
the
Security shall nevertheless be valid.

          A Security shall not be valid until authenticated
by the
manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee.  The signature
shall be
conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated
by the
Trustee under this Indenture.

          The Trustee shall authenticate Securities for
original issue
in the aggregate principal amount of up to $138,118,000 upon
a written
order of the Obligor signed by two Officers or by an Officer
and an

and the

authenticated.
The Trustee shall thereafter, from time to time,
authenticate
additional Securities for issuance pursuant to Section 4.01
upon a
written order of the Obligor signed by two Officers or by an
Officer
and an Assistant Treasurer or Assistant Secretary of the
Obligor
specifying the amount of Securities to be authenticated and

except as

the Trustee
may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An
authenticating
agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the
Company, the
Guarantor, each Signing Subsidiary and any Affiliate.

          The Securities shall be issuable only in
registered form

shall keep
a register of the Securities and of their transfer and
exchange.  The
Company may appoint or change one or more co-registrars and
one or
more additional paying agents without notice, and may act in
any such
capacity on its own behalf provided that if the Trustee is
acting as
registrar or paying agent, the Company shall give the
Trustee at least
five Business Days prior written notice of such change.  The
term
"Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent.

          The Company and each Signing Subsidiary shall
enter into an
appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to
this
Indenture.  The agreement shall implement the provisions of
this
Indenture that relate to such Agent.  The Company shall
notify the
Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to
this
Indenture.  If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or
Paying
Agent, the Trustee may act as such.

          The Company initially appoints the Trustee as
Registrar and
Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.04   Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

          Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the
benefit of the
Securityholders or the Trustee all moneys held by the Paying
Agent for
the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities
(whether
such money has been paid to it by the Company, any Signing
Subsidiary
or the Guarantor), and shall notify the Trustee and the
Guarantor of
any default by the Company or any Subsidiary in making any
such
payment.  While any such default continues, the Trustee may
require
a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.
The
Company may at any time require a Paying Agent to pay all
money held
by it to the Trustee.  Upon payment over to the Trustee,
none of the
Company, the Signing Subsidiaries, the Guarantor nor the
Paying Agent
shall have any further liability to any Securityholder or to
the
Trustee for the money paid over.  If the Company acts as
Paying Agent,
it shall segregate and hold as a separate trust fund all
money held
by it as Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.05   Securityholder Lists.

          The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as
is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it
of the
names and addresses of Securityholders.  If the Trustee is
not the
Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee not
later than 15
days after each record date a list, in such form and as of
such date
as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of
Securityholders and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in
writing, within 30 days after such request, a list of
similar form and
content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time
such list
is furnished.

SECTION olid   Transfer and Exchange.

          When Securities are presented to the Registrar or
Co-Registrar with a request to register their transfer or to
exchange
them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other
authorized
denominations accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Registrar, duly
executed by the registered owner or by his or her attorney
duly
authorized in writing, the Registrar shall register the
transfer or
make the exchange.  To permit registrations of transfer and
exchanges,
the Trustee shall authenticate Securities (accompanied by
notations
relating to the Guarantee Agreement duly endorsed by the
Guarantor)
at the Registrar's request.  The Company or the Trustee, as
the case
may be, shall not be required (i) to issue, authenticate,
register the
transfer of or exchange any Security during a period
beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice
of
redemption of the Securities selected for redemption under
Section
3.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such
mailing,
or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security
so
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the
unredeemed
portion of Securities being redeemed in part.

          No service charge shall be made for any
registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may
require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer,
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other
than
exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06 or 9.05 not
involving any
transfer.

          Anything in this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding,
but subject to the payment of interest to the Holders of the
Securities on the applicable record date, the parties hereto
and any
agent thereof shall deem and treat the Holder of any
Securities, prior
to due presentment thereof for registration of transfer, as
the
absolute owner of such Securities for all purposes (whether
or not the
Securities shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation
of
ownership or other writing thereon) and neither the Company,
the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected
by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.07   Replacement Securities.

          If the Holder of a Security claims that the
Security has
been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the
Obligor shall
execute and issue and, upon a written order of the Obligor
signed by
two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer or
Assistant
Secretary of the Obligor, the Trustee shall authenticate
(accompanied
by a notation relating to the Guarantee Agreement duly
endorsed by the
Guarantor) and deliver a replacement Security if their
respective
reasonable requirements as well as the requirements of
applicable law
are met and, in the case of a mutilated Security, such
mutilated
Security is surrendered to the Trustee.  If required by the
Trustee,
the Guarantor or the Company, an indemnity bond must be
furnished by
such Holder in an amount sufficient in the judgment of the
Trustee or
the Company, as the case may be, to indemnify and protect
the Company,
the Guarantor, the Trustee and any other Agent and hold them
harmless
from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is
replaced.
The Company or the Trustee may charge for its reasonable
expenses in
replacing a Security.

          If any mutilated, destroyed or wrongfully taken
Security has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in
its
discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such
Security
when due.

          Every replacement Security is an additional
obligation of
the Obligor.

SECTION 2.08   Outstanding Securities.

          Securities outstanding at any time are all the
Securities
authenticated by the Trustee except those canceled by it,
those
delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in
this Section
as not outstanding.  Subject to Section 2.09, a Security
does not
cease to be outstanding solely because the Company, the
Guarantor or
one of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates is a Holder of the
Security.

          If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section
2.07, it
ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof
satisfactory to it, or a court holds, that the replaced
Security is
held by a bona fide purchaser.

          If the Paying Agent (if other than the Company) or
the
Trustee holds on a redemption date or Maturity Date money
sufficient
to pay the principal of, and accrued interest on, the
Securities
payable on that date, then on and after that date such
Securities
shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and interest on
them shall
cease to accrue.

SECTION 2.09   Securities Held by the Company or an
Affiliate.

          In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal
amount of Securities have concurred in any direction,
request, waiver
or consent under this Indenture, Securities owned by the
Company or
the Guarantor or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company
or the
Guarantor shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes
of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any
such direction, request, waiver or consent, only Securities
which the
Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 2.10   Temporary Securities.

          Until definitive Securities are ready for
delivery, the
Company may prepare and execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate
(accompanied by a notation relating to the Guarantee
Agreement duly
endorsed by the Guarantor) and deliver temporary Securities.
Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of
definitive
Securities, but may have such variations as the Company
considers
appropriate for temporary Securities.  The Company shall
prepare and
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
definitive
Securities (accompanied by a notation relating to the
Guarantee
Agreement duly endorsed by the Guarantor) in exchange for
temporary
Securities without unreasonable delay.

SECTION 2.11   Cancellation.

          The Company may at any time deliver Securities to
the
Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and Paying Agent
shall
forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them
for
registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee
shall
cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of
transfer,
exchange, payment or cancellation and shall destroy canceled
Securities and deliver a certificate of any such destruction
to the
Company.  The Company may not issue new Securities to
replace
Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

SECTION 2.12   Defaulted Interest.

          If and to the extent the Obligor defaults in a
payment of
interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted
interest in any
lawful manner.  It may pay the defaulted interest to the
Persons who
are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date.
The Company
shall fix such record date and payment date.  At least 15
days before
the record date, the Company shall mail to Securityholders,
with a
copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the record date,
payment
date and amount of interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.13   Deemed Repayments.

          If the Guarantor is required to make any payment
of
Guarantor Obligations, and actually makes such payment to
the Trustee
whether in cash, Payment Notes or a combination thereof (all
such
payments, in the aggregate, "Guarantee Payments"), the
Trustee shall
thereupon immediately (and without the need for any notice
or action
on the part of any Person) be deemed to have collected the
amount of
the Guarantee Payments in respect of Securities under
Article 6
hereof, to be applied in accordance with Section 6.10.  In
computing
any such deemed collection, each Payment Note issued by the
Guarantor
shall be deemed to have a value equal to the principal
amount thereof.


                           ARTICLE 3.

                           REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.01   Notices to Trustee.

          If the Obligor elects to redeem Securities
pursuant to
Section 3.07 or is required to redeem Securities pursuant to
Section
3.08, it shall notify the Guarantor and the Trustee, by
means of an
Officers' Certificate at least 60 days prior to the
redemption date
(unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee),
of the redemption date and the principal amount of
Securities to be
redeemed.

SECTION 3.02   Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

          If less than all the Securities are to be
redeemed, the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed on a pro
rata
basis, by lot or such other method as the Trustee shall deem
fair and
equitable.  The Trustee shall make the selection from
Securities
outstanding and not previously called for redemption.  The
Trustee may
select for redemption portions of the principal of
Securities that
have denominations larger than $1,000.  The Securities and
portions
of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole
multiples
of $1,000.  The provisions of this Indenture that apply to
Securities
called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities
called for
redemption.  For purposes of any such selection the Obligor
will, upon
request of the Trustee, close for a period of 15 days
preceding the
mailing of any notice of redemption the registry books of
the Obligor
with respect to the Securities.  If the Obligor shall so
direct,
Securities registered in the name of the Obligor or
Affiliate of the
Obligor shall not be included in the Securities selected for
redemption.

SECTION 3.03   Notice of Redemption.

          At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
a
redemption date, the Obligor shall mail a notice of
redemption by
first-class mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be
redeemed.

          The notice shall identify the Securities and the
principal
amount thereof to be redeemed (if less than all of the
Securities are
to be redeemed) and shall state:

          (1)  the redemption date;

          (2)  that the Securities will be redeemed at a
price equal
to the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and
unpaid
interest to the date of redemption (the "Redemption Price");

          (3)  and the amount of accrued interest to be paid
on the
Securities as a part of the Redemption Price;

          (4)  the name and address of the Paying Agent;

          (5)  the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture
pursuant to which the Securities are to be redeemed;

          (6)  that Securities called for redemption must be
surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption
Price;

          (7)  that interest on Securities called for
redemption
ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date unless the
Company
shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price; and

          (8)  the CUSIP number of the Securities.

          At the Obligor's request, the Trustee shall give
the notice
of redemption in the Obligor's name and at the Obligor's
expense.

SECTION 3.04   Effect of Notice of Redemption.

          Once a notice of redemption is mailed in
accordance with the
provisions hereof, the Securities called for redemption
become due and
payable on the redemption date at the Redemption Price and,
on and
after such redemption date (unless the Obligor shall default
in the
payment of the Redemption Price on the date fixed for
redemption),
such Securities shall cease to bear interest and such
Securities shall
be deemed not to be outstanding hereunder and shall not be
entitled
to any benefits hereunder, except to receive payment of the
Redemption
Price.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities
shall be
paid at the Redemption Price.

SECTION 3.05   Deposit of Redemption Price.

          On or before the Business Day immediately
preceding the
redemption date, the Obligor shall deposit with the Paying
Agent money
in funds immediately available at the opening of business on
the
redemption date sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of
all
Securities to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 3.06   Securities Redeemed in Part.

          Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in
part, the
Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security
equal in
principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security
surrendered.

SECTION 3.07   Optional Redemption.

          The Securities may be redeemed at the option of
the Obligor
in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the
Redemption
Price.

SECTION 3.08   Mandatory Redemption.

          Within two Business Days after receipt of Net
Proceeds by
the Obligor, it shall deposit all Net Proceeds received in
the Cash
Collateral Account; provided, however, prior to making a
deposit of
Net Proceeds, (i) the Obligor shall set aside out of such
Net Proceeds
cash reserves sufficient to cause the Obligor to have at
least $5
million of cash; and in addition (ii) if approved by the
Board of
Directors of the Company by resolution made in good faith,
the Obligor
may retain (a) the amount specified in such resolution up to
an
aggregate $5 million of such Net Proceeds, in order to meet
the
anticipated working capital needs of the Obligor for the one-
year
period commencing on the first day following the
consummation of the
Extraordinary Event in respect of which such deposit is made
and (b)
up to $1 million of any payment received in respect of
casualty
insurance covering the Pledged Collateral to replace the
Pledged
Collateral in respect of which such insurance payment is
received.
Within 20 days after such deposit, the Obligor shall provide
to the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth (a) a
calculation of
the Net Proceeds received by the Obligor, (b) a calculation
of any
amount set aside for working capital in accordance with
clause (i)
above, (c) a copy of any Board Resolution passed in
accordance with
clause (ii) above, and (d) a calculation of the amount being
deposited
in the Cash Collateral Account.  If at any time there is at
least $5
million in the Cash Collateral Account, all money in the
Cash
Collateral Account shall be paid over to the Trustee and
used, upon
receipt of the Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section
3.01, by the Trustee to redeem Securities at the Redemption
Price.

                           ARTICLE 4.

                            COVENANTS

SECTION 4.01   Payment of Securities.

          The Obligor shall pay the principal of and
interest on the
Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the
Securities
and this Indenture.  Principal and interest shall be
considered paid
on the date due if the Paying Agent (if other than the
Company) holds
on that date money sufficient to pay all principal and
interest then
due.  The Obligor shall pay interest on overdue principal at
the rate
specified in the Securities.  At the Company's election
evidenced by
an Officers' Certificate delivered at least 30 days prior to
the
interest payment date, in lieu of providing for a cash
payment on any
interest payment date prior to the Maturity Date, the
Obligor may pay
all or any portion of the interest due on any such interest
payment
date by authorizing the Trustee by written order pursuant to
Section
2.02 hereof to authenticate and deliver as an interest
payment
additional Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal
to the
amount of such interest payment or the portion thereof not
paid in
cash.  The Trustee shall distribute such Securities
authorized in lieu
of cash to Holders pro rata.  Any portion of interest
payable to a
Holder which, but for the provisions of Section 2.02
relating to
authorized denominations would otherwise be payable in
additional
Securities, shall be payable in cash.

SECTION 4.02   Maintenance of Office or Agency.

          The Company will maintain in the Borough of
Manhattan, The
City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may
be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices
and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities and
this Indenture may be served.  The Company will give prompt
written
notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the
location,
of such office or agency.  If at any time the Company shall
fail to
maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to
furnish
the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate
Trust
Office of the Trustee.

          The Company may also from time to time designate
one or more
other offices or agencies where the Securities may be
presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time
to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such
designation
or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its
obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purposes.  The
Company will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office
or agency.

          The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust
Office of
the Trustee as an agency of the Company in accordance with
Section
2.03.

SECTION 4.03   Sale of Assets and Subsidiaries; Corporate
Existence.

          (a)  The Company shall use all reasonable
commercial efforts
to cause, and shall conduct the business of the Company and
its
Subsidiaries in a manner calculated to cause, its assets and
the
assets and/or capital stock of its Subsidiaries
expeditiously to be
sold at the best obtainable prices to produce Net Proceeds
to be
applied to redemption and repayment of the Securities timed
in a
manner calculated to repay the Securities in full in cash on
or before
the Maturity Date.

          (b)  The Company will do or cause to be done all
things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
corporate
existence and, pending its sale or liquidation, the
corporate
existence of each Subsidiary of the Company; provided,
however, that
the Company shall not be required to cause its Subsidiaries
to
preserve their corporate existence if the Board of Directors
shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries
as a whole
and if the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any
material respect
to the Holders.  The Company shall not consolidate or merge
with or
into any Person.  The Subsidiaries that have executed this
Indenture
are the only Subsidiaries of the Company on the date hereof.
If at
any time hereafter the Company shall create or acquire a
Subsidiary
it shall, within two Business Days thereafter, cause such
Subsidiary,
(i) by supplemental indenture, to become obligated under
this
Indenture and the Securities jointly and severally with, and
to be
included in the definition of, the Obligor and (ii) by
supplemental
agreement, to become obligated under the Collateral Agency
Agreement,
and all documents, instruments and other writings required
thereby,
as if it were a party thereto as a Subsidiary of the Company
on the
date hereof.

SECTION 4.04   Payment of Taxes.

          The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be
paid or
discharged, before the same shall become delinquent (i) all
material
taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or any of their
properties,
and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies
which,
if unpaid, might by law become a material Lien upon the
property of
the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; provided,
however, that
the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or
cause to be
paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim
whose
amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good
faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which it has set aside on
its books
such reserves as it deems adequate and are in accordance
with
generally accepted accounting principles.

SECTION 4.05   Maintenance of Properties.

          Pending sale, the Company will cause the material
properties
owned by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for
use in the
conduct of its business or the business of any such
Subsidiary to be
maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working
order
(subject to ordinary wear and tear) and will cause to be
made all
necessary repairs thereof, all as in the judgment of the
Company may
be necessary so that the business carried on in connection
therewith
may be properly and advantageously conducted; provided,
however, that
nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from
discontinuing
the maintenance or repair of any such properties if such
discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable
in the
conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary or
in
connection with the sale of any of its assets or assets of
any
Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect
to the
Holders.

SECTION 4.06   SEC Reports.

          At such times as the Obligor may be required to
file reports
and other information with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of
the Exchange Act, the Obligor shall deliver to the Trustee,
within 15
days after the Obligor files with the SEC copies of its
annual and
quarterly reports and other information, documents and
reports (or
copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC
may by
rules and regulations prescribe) copies of such documents
which it is
required to file pursuant to such Sections.  The Obligor
will mail
copies of its annual reports and quarterly reports as filed
with the
SEC, other than exhibits to any such report unless such
exhibits are
themselves incorporated by reference in such report, to any
Securityholder upon request.  If the Obligor is not subject
or shall
cease to be subject to the requirements of Section 13 or
15(d) of the
Exchange Act, the Company shall commencing on January 1,
1995 deliver
to the Trustee and to each Securityholder, within 15 days
after the
date by which it would have been required to make such a
filing with
the SEC, an audited consolidated balance sheet and annual
financial
statements for the prior year or portion thereof after the
Effective
Date prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting
principles and unaudited condensed quarterly financial
statements,
including any notes thereto (but not including any
Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of
Operations or other materials), each comparable (except with
respect
to periods covered) to that which the Company would have
been required
to include in such annual reports, information, documents or
other
reports if the Company were then subject to the requirements
of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  The Obligor also
shall
comply with any other applicable provisions of TIA  314(a).

SECTION 4.07   Compliance Certificate.

          The Obligor shall deliver to the Trustee within
120 days

Person, an Officers' Certificate signed by such Person's
principal
financial officer, principal accounting officer or principal
executive
officer stating, after a review of the activities of the
Company
during such period and of the Company's performance under
this
Indenture, whether or not, to the best knowledge of the
signer thereof
based on such review, there has been any Default or Event of
Default
by the Company in performing any of its Obligations under
this
Indenture or the Securities.  If the signer does know of any
such
Default or Event of Default, the certificate shall describe
the
Default or Event of Default and its status.  The Obligor
will furnish
all other opinions, certificates and other writings required
by the
TIA to the extent applicable including, without limitation,
the
opinions required under Section 314(b)(2) thereof.

SECTION 4.08   Limitation on Stock Payments and Investments.

          (a)  The Company will not declare any dividends on

such stock
or make any distribution in respect thereof.

          (b)  The Company will not, and will not permit any
of its
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Investment

the fair market value (as determined in such resolution) of
the
consideration received in connection with any Extraordinary
Event or
series of related Extraordinary Events may be non-cash

including without limitation securities (valued as

resolution); and (ii) Investments may be made to the extent
required
pursuant to any Existing Agreement.

for any
registration rights agreement with respect to any securities
issued
by the Company pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.

SECTION 4.10   Limitation on Additional Indebtedness and
Liens.

          (a)  The Company will not, and will not permit any
of its
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur,
issue, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable
with
respect to any Indebtedness other than Permitted

          (b)  The Company will not, and will not permit any

          The Company will not, and will not permit any of
its
Subsidiaries to, enter into any agreement or execute any
instrument
(other than, in the case of clause (C) below, agreements and
instruments relating to Capital Leases or to Purchase Money
Indebtedness) that by its terms expressly prohibits or
otherwise would
have the effect of prohibiting the Company or any Subsidiary
from (A)
redeeming or otherwise making any payments on or with

obligations
under the Securities or (C) selling its assets, in each case
pursuant
to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 4.12   Limitation on Dividends and Certain Other
Restrictions
Affecting Subsidiaries.

          Except as otherwise provided by the terms of this
Indenture
or by the terms of the RMC Settlement Agreement, the Company
will not,
and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create or
otherwise
cause or suffer to exist or to become effective any
encumbrance or
restriction on the ability of any of its Subsidiaries (i) to
pay
dividends, make loans, extend guarantees or make any other
distributions to the Company or to other Subsidiaries, or to
pay any
Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company; (ii)
to make loans or advances to the Company or another
Subsidiary; or
(iii) to transfer any of their respective properties or
assets to the
Company, other than such encumbrances or restrictions
existing under
or by reason of (a) applicable law, (b) customary non-
assignment
provisions of any lease governing a leasehold interest of
the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, and (c) restrictions on the
transfer of
assets acquired in connection with the incurrence of
Purchase Money
Indebtedness or Capital Leases.

SECTION 4.13   Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

          The Company covenants (to the extent that it may
lawfully
do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead,
or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay
or extension law or any usury law or other law which would
prohibit
or release the Company from paying all or any portion of the
principal
of or interest on the Securities as contemplated herein,
wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may
affect
the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and (to
the extent
that it may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly
waives all
benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to
the Trustee, but it will suffer and permit the execution of
every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 4.14   Maintenance of Insurance and Records,
Compliance with
Law.

          (a)  Except to the extent that, in the exercise of
its good
faith business judgment, the Company believes the cost to be
incurred
in procuring and/or maintaining insurance to be excessive in
view of
the benefit to be derived therefrom, the Company shall, and
shall
cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain with financially sound
and
reputable insurers such (i) liability and property and
casualty
insurance as may be required by law and (ii) such other
insurance, to
such extent and against such hazards and liabilities (but
subject to
reduction in coverage amount appropriate in light of any
divestitures
of assets made from time to time) equivalent to the
insurance that it
currently maintains.  Each such insurance policy shall name
the
Trustee as a loss payee to the extent of its interests
hereunder in
any proceeds payable under such policy and shall provide
that it may
not be cancelled without at least thirty days prior notice
to the
Trustee.  Any proceeds in respect of such insurance received
by the
Trustee shall be paid to the Company for application by it
as provided
in Section 3.08; provided, however, if at the time of
receipt of such
proceeds a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be
continuing, such proceeds will be deposited into the Cash
Collateral
Account by the Trustee.

          (b)  The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept,
true books
and records and accounts in which entries will be made of
all of the
business transactions of the Company and its Subsidiaries
which shall
be full and correct in all material respects, in accordance
with sound
business practices, and reflect in their respective
financial
statements adequate accruals and appropriate reserves, all
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

          (c)  The Company shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to,
comply with all statutes, laws, ordinances, or governmental
rules and
regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which
would
materially adversely affect the prospects, earnings,
properties,
assets or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company
and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

SECTION 4.15   Limitation on Redemption of Certain
Indebtedness.

          The Company will not, and will not permit any of
its
Subsidiaries to, (i) redeem pursuant to the optional
redemption
provisions thereof, or make any optional payment of
principal on, any
Permitted Indebtedness; (ii) defease Permitted Indebtedness;
or (iii)
issue to the holders of Permitted Indebtedness in exchange
therefor
any property or assets; provided, however, nothing contained
herein
will limit the Company's ability to repay the Guarantor
monies
advanced to or for the benefit of the Company in accordance
with the
Management Services Agreement.

SECTION 4.16   Value of Claims Represented by Securities.

          The Obligor covenants and agrees that in any case
commenced
under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code
subsequent to
the Effective Date involving the Obligor, the claims
represented by
the Securities shall equal the full principal amount of the
Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest at the stated
rates set
forth in the Securities.

SECTION 4.17   Notice of Default.

          In the event that any Default under this Indenture
shall
occur, the Company will give written notice of such Default
to the
Trustee within 5 Business Days after its occurrence,
specifying the
(i) date on which such Default occurred or when the Company
had Actual
Knowledge thereof and (ii) nature and status of such Default
and the
steps which the Company or its Subsidiaries have taken or
propose to
take in order to cure such Default.

SECTION 4.18   Investment Company Act of 1940.

          The Company will not, and will not permit any of
its
Subsidiaries to, take any action resulting in its becoming
an
"investment company" (as such term is defined in the
Investment

of any
merger or consolidation, such Subsidiary's obligations in
respect of

                      DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.01   Events of Default.

          (2)  the Company defaults in the payment of the
principal

existence
of, and specifying the basis for, such default;

and on
any of the Pledged Collateral in favor of the Collateral
Agent for the
benefit of the Holders of the Securities, which failure
continues for
a period of 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date on
which written
notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the

would
otherwise have become due and payable; provided that if such
default
or event of default under such indenture or other instrument
shall be
remedied or cured by the Company or the Subsidiary or waived
by the
holders of such Indebtedness, then the Event of Default
under this
Indenture by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have
been
thereupon remedied, cured or waived without further action
upon the
part of either the Trustee or any of the Holders of
Securities;

          (5)  one or more final judgments against the
Company or any

          (11) an "Event of Default,"  as defined in the
Guarantee
Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing.

          The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11, U.S.
Code or any
similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors.  The
term
"Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee,
liquidator or
similar official under any Bankruptcy Law or laws for the
enforcement
of creditors' rights.  The term "Actual Knowledge" means the
actual
knowledge of any Officer of the Company; provided, however,
that each
Officer of the Company shall be deemed to have actual
knowledge of any
fact that would have come to such Officer's attention if he
or she had
exercised reasonable care in performing his or her duties,
given the
nature of his or her duties and the Company's business and
organization.

SECTION 6.02   Acceleration.

          If an Event of Default (other than an Event of
Default
specified in Section 6.01(7), (8) or (9)) occurs and is
continuing,
the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at
least 25%
in principal amount of the Securities by notice to the
Company and the
Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued interest
on all the
Securities to be due and payable.  Upon such declaration
such
principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.
If an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7), (8) or (9)
occurs, all
unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Securities then
outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due
and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or any
Securityholder.  The Holders of at least 66 2/3% of the
principal
amount of the Securities may rescind an acceleration and its
consequences by notice to the Trustee if the rescission
would not
conflict with any judgment or decree and if the outstanding
Events of
Default have been cured or waived except for nonpayments of
any
amounts that have become due solely because of the
acceleration.  No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or
impair any
right or remedy with respect thereto.

SECTION 6.03   Other Remedies.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, if
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may pursue
any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to
collect the
payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to
enforce
the performance of any provision of the Securities, the
Collateral
Agency Agreement or this Indenture.

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it
does not
possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of
them in the
proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any
Securityholder
in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of
Default
shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver
of or
acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No remedy is
exclusive of any
other remedy.  All remedies are cumulative.

          In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to
enforce any
rights under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have
been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been
determined
adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the
Company, the
Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination
in such
proceeding, be restored respectively to their former
positions and
rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Company
and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding
had been
taken.

SECTION 6.04   Waiver of Past Defaults.

          Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, the
Holders of at
least 66 2/3% of the principal amount of the Securities by
notice to
the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of
Default and its
consequences or an existing Default or Event of Default
under the
Guarantee Agreement.  When such a Default or Event of
Default is
waived, it is cured and ceases.

SECTION 6.05   Control by Majority.

          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the
Securities may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any
trust or power conferred on it under the Indenture and the
Guarantee
Agreement.  The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any
direction
that conflicts with law, this Indenture or the Guarantee
Agreement,
is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any Securityholder or
would
subject the Trustee to personal liability; provided, the
Trustee may
take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is
not
inconsistent with such direction.  A record date may be set
for
purposes of determining who may exercise such control.

SECTION 6.06   Limitation on Suits.

          Except as provided in Section 6.07, a
Securityholder may
pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture, the
Guarantee
Agreement or the Securities only if:

          (1)  the Holder gives to the Trustee written
notice of a
continuing Event of Default under the Indenture or the
Guarantee
Agreement, as the case may be;

          (2)  the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the
Securities outstanding make a written request to the Trustee
to pursue
the remedy;

          (3)  such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee
indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss,
liability or
expense;

          (4)  the Trustee does not comply with the request
within 60
days after receipt of the request and the offer of
indemnity; and

          (5)  during such 60-day period the Holders of a
majority in
principal amount of the Securities do not give the Trustee a
direction
inconsistent with the request.

          A Securityholder may not use this Indenture or the
Guarantee
Agreement to prejudice the rights of any other
Securityholder or to
obtain a preference or priority over any other
Securityholder.

SECTION 6.07   Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

          Subject only to Sections 5.01 and 6.02 hereof, the
right of
any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal of
and
interest on the Security or under the Guarantee Agreement,
on or after
the respective due dates (prior to any acceleration)
expressed in the
Security or the Guarantee Agreement, as the case may be, or
to bring
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without
the
consent of the Holder, except that no Holder of Securities
shall have
the right to institute any such suit if and to the extent
that the
institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment
therein
would, under applicable law, result in the surrender,
impairment,
waiver or loss of the Lien of the Collateral Agency
Agreement upon any
of the Pledged Collateral.

SECTION 6.08   Collection Suit by Trustee.

          If an Event of Default specified in Section
6.01(1) or (2)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment
in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust against the Obligor
for the
whole amount of principal and interest in default or against
the
Guarantor for the amounts provided for in the Guarantee
Agreement.

SECTION 6.09   Trustee May File Proofs of Claims.

          The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and
other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
have the
claims of the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and the
Securityholders
allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Obligor,
the
Guarantor, their creditors or their property.

          Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any
Holder of the Securities any plan of reorganization,
arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the
rights of
any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of
the claim of any Holder of the Securities in any such
proceeding.

SECTION 6.10   Priorities.

          If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this
Article,
it shall pay out the money in the following order:

          First:  to the Trustee for amounts due under
Section 7.07;

          Second:  to Securityholders for amounts due and
unpaid on
the Securities for principal and interest, ratably, without
preference
or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and
payable on
the Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

          Third:  to the Company.

          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date
for any
payment by it to Securityholders pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 6.11   Undertaking for Costs.

          In any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken
or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may
require any
party litigating the suit other than the Trustee to file an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in
its
discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit,
having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by
the party litigant.  This Section does not apply to a suit
by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a
suit by
Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the
Securities.


                           ARTICLE 7.

                             TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01   Acceptance of Trusts; Duties of Trustee.

          The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon
it by
this Indenture and covenants and agrees to perform the same
as herein
expressed.

           Co  If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it
by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill
in their
exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under
the
circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

          (b)  Except during the continuance of an Event of
Default
under this Indenture:

          (1)  The Trustee need perform only those duties
that are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others.

          (2)  In the absence of bad faith on its part, the
Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements
of this Indenture.  Where a particular provision of this
Indenture
requires delivery of certain certificates and opinions to
the Trustee,
the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to
determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Indenture.

          (c)  The Trustee may not be relieved from
liability for its
own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own
willful misconduct, except that:

          (1)  This paragraph does not limit the effect of
paragraph
(b) of this Section 7.01.

          (2)  The Trustee shall not be liable with respect
to any
error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer,
unless it is
proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent
facts.

          (3)  The Trustee shall not be liable with respect
to any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance
with a
direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

          me   Every provision of this Indenture that in any
way
relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and
(c) of
this Section 7.01.

          (e)  The Trustee may refuse to exercise any of its
rights
or powers under this Indenture or the Guarantee Agreement at
the
request of any Holders unless such Holders shall have
offered to the
Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any
loss,
liability or expense.  No provision of this Indenture or the
Guarantee
Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its
own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any
of its duties hereunder or thereunder, or in the exercise of
its
rights or power, if it has reasonable grounds for believing,
and does
believe in good faith, that repayment of such funds or
adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to
it.

          (f)  The Trustee shall not be liable for interest
on any
money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in
writing with
the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be.  Money
held in trust
by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds
except to the
extent required by law.

SECTION 7.02   Rights of Trustee.

          (1)  The Trustee may rely on any document believed
by it to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper Person.
The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated
in the
document.

          (2)  Before the Trustee acts or refrains from
acting
hereunder or under the Guarantee Agreement, it may require
an
Officers' Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel from the
Company
or the Guarantor, respectively, and may consult with its
counsel.  The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
to take
in good faith in reliance on such Officers' Certificate,
Opinion of
Counsel or advice of such counsel.

          (3)  The Trustee may act hereunder or under the
Guarantee
Agreement through agents and shall not be responsible for
the
misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due
care.

SECTION 7.03   Individual Rights of Trustee.

          The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise
deal with
the Company, the Guarantor or an Affiliate or Subsidiary
thereof with
the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  Any
Agent may
do the same with like rights.  The Trustee, however, must
comply with
Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.04   Trustee's Disclaimer.

          The Trustee makes no representation as to the
validity or
adequacy of this Indenture, the Guarantee Agreement, the
Collateral
Agency Agreement or the Securities, and it shall not be
responsible
for any statement in the Securities, this Indenture, the
Pledge
Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement or the Guarantee
Agreement
other than its certificate of authentication on the
Securities.

SECTION 7.05   Notice of Defaults.

          If a Default under this Indenture, the Collateral
Agency
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or under the Guarantee
Agreement
occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee,
the
Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a notice of the
Default
within 90 days after it occurs.  Except in the case of a
Default in
payment of principal of or interest on any Security or a
Default in
payment of Guarantor Obligations under the Guarantee
Agreement, the
Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good
faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests
of
Securityholders.

SECTION 7.06   Reports by Trustee to Holders.

          Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with
May 15,
1995, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief
report
dated as of such date in accordance with and to the extent
required
under TIA  313(a).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA
313(b).

          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing
to
Securityholders shall be filed by the Trustee with the SEC
and each
stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed.
The
Company shall notify the Trustee when the Securities are
listed on any
stock exchange.

SECTION 7.07   Compensation and Indemnity.

          The Obligor shall pay to the Trustee, from time to
time,
such reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it
hereunder
(which compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation
of a trustee of an express trust).  The Obligor shall
reimburse the
Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses,
advances and disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee
in
accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including
the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements
of its
agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement
or advance
as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith.

          The Obligor shall indemnify the Trustee for, and
hold it
harmless against, any loss, expense or liability (including
the
reasonable fees and expenses of agents and counsel) incurred
without
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, in
connection
with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and
the
performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and
expenses
of defending itself against any claim or liability in
connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder.

          To secure the Company's payment obligations in
this Section,
the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all
money or
property held or collected by the Trustee except that held
in trust
to pay principal and interest on particular Securities.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7), (8) or (9)
occurs
or under Section 6(a)(6), (7) or (8) under the Guarantee
Agreement,
the expenses and the compensation for services are intended
to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy
Law.

SECTION 7.08   Replacement of Trustee.

          A resignation or removal of the Trustee and
appointment of
a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the
successor
Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this
Section.

          The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company
and the
Guarantor.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the
Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the
Trustee, the
Guarantor and the Company and such Holders may appoint a
successor
Trustee with the Company's consent.  The Company may remove
the
Trustee if:

          (1)  the Trustee fails to comply with Section
7.10;

          (2)  the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an
insolvent;

          (3)  a receiver or other public officer takes
charge of the
Trustee or its property; or

          (4)  the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a
vacancy exists
in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall
promptly
appoint a successor Trustee.  Within one year after the
successor
Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount
of the Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace
the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

          If a successor Trustee does not take office within
30 days
after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the
retiring
Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in
principal
amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10,
any Holder
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of
the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of
its appointment to the retiring Trustee, the Guarantor and
to the
Obligor.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee
shall become effective and the successor Trustee shall have
all the
rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture, the
Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement and the
Guarantee
Agreement.  The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to Securityholders.  The retiring Trustee, upon
payment of
all amounts due it under Section 7.07 hereof, shall promptly
transfer
all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee,
subject
to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

SECTION 7.09   Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

          If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts
into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust
business to
another corporation, the successor corporation without any
further act
shall be the successor Trustee.

SECTION 7.10   Eligibility; Disqualification.

          This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who
satisfies the
requirements of TIA  310(a)(1).  The Trustee shall always
have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set
forth in
its most recent published annual report of condition.  The
Trustee
shall comply with TIA   310(b), including the optional
provision
permitted by the second sentence of TIA    310(b)(9).

SECTION 7.11   Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Company.

          The Trustee shall comply with TIA  311(a),
excluding any
creditor relationship listed in TIA   311(b).  A Trustee who

                     DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

SECTION 8.01   Termination of Obligor's Obligations.

          All of the Obligor's obligations under this
Indenture shall
terminate when Securities previously authenticated and
delivered
(other than mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities
which have
been replaced or paid) have been delivered to the Trustee
for
cancellation or if:

          (1)  the Securities mature within six months or
all of them
are to be called for redemption within six months;

          (2)  the Obligor or the Guarantor irrevocably
deposits in
trust with the Trustee, pursuant to an irrevocable trust and
security
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the
Trustee, money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to
pay the
principal and interest due at maturity or the Redemption
Price due at
redemption, as the case may be.  The Obligor or the
Guarantor may make
the deposit only during the six-month period.  Immediately
after
making the deposit, the Company shall give notice of such
event to the
Holders;

          (3)  the Company has paid or caused to be paid all
sums then
payable by the Company to the Trustee hereunder as of the
date of such
deposit; and

          (4)  the Company has delivered to the Trustee an
Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all
conditions
precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction
and
discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligor's obligations in
Sections
2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 4.01, 7.07, 7.08 and 8.03
shall survive
until the Securities are no longer outstanding, and the
Company's
obligations pursuant to Sections 7.07 and 8.03 shall survive
any such
termination.

          After a deposit pursuant to this Section 8.01, the
Trustee
upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of
the
Obligor's obligations under the Securities and this
Indenture except
for those surviving obligations specified above.

          In order to have money available on a payment date
to pay
principal or interest on the Securities, the U.S. Government
Obligations shall be payable as to principal or interest on
or before
such payment date in such amounts as will provide the
necessary money.

SECTION 8.02   Application of Trust Money.

          The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S.
Government
Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01, 3.05
and 3.08
or pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement.  It shall apply the
deposited
money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through
the
Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the
payment of
principal of and interest on the Securities.  Upon written
direction
of the Company, the Trustee shall invest monies held by it
hereunder
in U.S. Government Obligations.  Any written direction of
the Company
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be such
as to
cause the Trustee to hold U.S. Government Obligations
payable as to
principal or interest on or before the applicable date of
payment on
the Securities or the Guarantee, as the case may be, in such
amounts
as will provide the money necessary to make such payment.
The Trustee
shall not be liable for any investment made in accordance
with such
written direction.

SECTION 8.03   Repayment to Company.

          The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly
pay to the
Company upon request any excess money or securities held by
them at
any time.  The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the
Company
upon request any money held by them for the payment of
principal or
interest that remains unclaimed for two years; provided,
however, that
the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to
make any
such repayment, may, at the expense of the Company, cause to
be
published once in a newspaper of general circulation in The
City of
New York or cause to be mailed to each Holder, or both, a
notice
stating that such money remains and that, after a date
specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date
of such
publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money
then
remaining will be repaid to the Company.  After payment to
the
Company, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to
the
Company for payment as general creditors unless an
applicable
abandoned property law designates another Person.

SECTION 8.04   Reinstatement.

          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply
any money
or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section
8.01 by
reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or
judgment
of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, the Obligor's
obligations
under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit has occurred pursuant to
Section 8.01
until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted
to apply
all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance
with
Section 8.01; provided, however, that if the Obligor has
made any
payment of interest on or principal of any Securities
because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Obligor shall be
subrogated to
the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
payment
from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the
Trustee or
Paying Agent.


                           ARTICLE 9.

          The Obligor, pursuant to a resolution of its Board

the Guarantee Agreement, in each case without notice to or
the consent
of any Securityholder:

          (1)  to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or

of the
Guarantee Agreement;

          (3)  to provide for uncertified securities; or

          (4)  to make any change that does not adversely
affect the
rights of any Securityholder.

SECTION 9.02   With Consent of Holders.

          The Obligor, pursuant to a resolution of its Board
of
Directors evidenced by an Officers' Certificate and the
Trustee, may
amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities and the
Guarantor, with the consent of the Trustee, may amend or
supplement
the Guarantee Agreement, in each case without notice to any
Securityholder but with the written consent of the Holders
of at least
66 2/3% (except as hereinafter provided) of the principal
amount of
the Securities.  Subject to Section 6.07, the Holders of a
majority
(except as hereinafter provided) in principal amount of the
Securities
may waive compliance by the Obligor with any provision of
this
Indenture or the Securities and compliance by the Guarantor
with any
provision of the Guarantee Agreement, without notice to any
Securityholder.  However, without the consent of each
Securityholder
affected, no amendment, supplement or waiver (other than as
provided
in Section 6.02 hereof), including a waiver pursuant to
Section 6.04,
may:

          (1)  reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders
must
consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

          (2)  reduce the rate of or change the time for
payment of
interest on any Security;

          (3)  reduce the principal of or change the fixed
maturity
of any Security or alter the redemption provisions with
respect
thereto;

          (4)  waive a default in the payment of principal
of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Security;

          (5)  make any Security payable in money other than
that
stated in the Security;

          (6)  make any change in Section 6.04, Section 6.07
or this
Section 9.02; or

          (7)  release the Guarantor from any obligation to
make
payments of Guarantor Obligations under the Guarantee
Agreement or to
change the definition of Guarantor Obligations.

          Promptly after an amendment under this Section
becomes
effective, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be,
shall
mail to the Securityholders a notice briefly describing the
amendment.

          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the
Holders
under this Section to approve the particular form of any
proposed
amendment or supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent
approves the substance thereof.

SECTION 9.03   Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

          Every amendment to this Indenture or the
Securities shall
comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04   Revocation and Effect of Consents.

          Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective,
a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing
consent by
the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or
portion of a
Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder's
Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any
Security.


          After an amendment, supplement or waiver under
this
Indenture or the Guarantee Agreement becomes effective with
respect
to the Securities, it shall bind every Securityholder.

SECTION 9.05   Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

          If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the
terms of
a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the
Security to
deliver it to the Trustee.  The Trustee may place an
appropriate
notation on the Security about the changed terms and return
it to the
Holder.  Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so
determines,
the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the
Trustee
shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed
terms.

SECTION 9.06   Trustee Protected.

          The Trustee need not sign any amendment,
supplement or
waiver under this Indenture or the Guarantee Agreement
authorized
pursuant to this Article that adversely affects the
Trustee's rights.
The Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an
Opinion of
Counsel and an Officers' Certificate that any supplemental
indenture
complies with the Indenture.

Agreement
pursuant to which the Securities will be secured (including,
without
limitation, the provisions of Section 9 of the Collateral
Agency
Agreement providing for the release of the Pledged
Collateral), the
Guarantee Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, as the same
may be in
effect or may be amended from time to time pursuant to their
respective terms.  The due and punctual payment of the
principal and
interest on the Securities, when and as the same shall be

SECTION 10.02  Further Assurances.

          The Company and its Subsidiaries have executed and

currently do
so under applicable law) and will execute and deliver, file
and
record, all instruments and documents, and have done and
will do all
such acts and other things, at the Company's expense, as may
be
necessary or desirable, or that the Trustee may reasonably
request,
to subject the Pledged Collateral to the Liens intended to
be created
pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement (which Liens are
defined
herein as the "Security Interests"), to perfect, maintain
and protect
the Security Interests and, in the case of the existence of
an Event
of Default, to enable the Trustee to exercise and enforce
its rights
and remedies with respect to the Security Interests.

          The Company shall cause (a) TIA  314(b), relating
to
Opinions of Counsel regarding the Liens created under the

regarding fair
value of the Pledged Collateral, to be complied with to the

by TIA
314(d).

obligations of
the Company thereunder.  Such actions shall include, but not
be
limited to, advising, instructing or otherwise directing the

Guarantee
Agreement.  Subject to the provisions of the Collateral
Agency
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement,
the
Trustee shall have power to institute and to maintain such
suits and
proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any
impairment of the
collateral pledged thereunder by any acts that may be
unlawful or in
violation of the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Guarantee
Agreement,
the Pledge Agreement under the Guarantee Agreement or this
Indenture,
and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem
expedient to
preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the
Securityholders in such collateral.

SECTION 10.04  Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the
Trustee Under
the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement.

          The Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for
the
benefit of Securityholders distributed under the Collateral
Agency
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the Guarantee Agreement,
and to
make further distributions of such funds to the Holders
according to
the provisions of this Indenture.

          The Obligor shall take any and all actions
required to cause
the Collateral Agency Agreement to create, as security for
the
obligations under this Indenture and the Securities, a valid
and
enforceable perfected lien in and on all of the Pledged
Collateral,
in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Holders of the
Securities and the Trustee, superior to and prior to the
rights of all
third Persons and subject to no other Liens other than
Permitted
Liens.

          At any meeting of Holders of Securities, the

representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities represented at the meeting may adjourn such
meeting with
the same effect, for all intents and purposes, as though a

TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Securities referred
to in the within-mentioned Indenture.


CHEMICAL BANK
                         as Trustee


By:
     Authorized Officer


Dated:
                      [REVERSE OF SECURITY]

                     ROSEBUD HOLDINGS, INC.
                        and Subsidiaries

                10% ASSET PROCEEDS NOTE DUE 1997

          1.   Interest.  ROSEBUD HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and its Subsidiaries (with the
Company
on a joint and several basis, the "Obligor") promise to pay
interest
on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per
annum shown
above.  The Obligor will pay interest semi-annually in
arrears on
January 31 and July 31 of each year, commencing July 31,
1994.
Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent
date to
which interest has been paid (or, if no interest has been
paid, from
March 1, 1994).  Interest on overdue principal shall accrue
at the
rate per annum of 11% from the due date until paid in full.
Interest
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of 12 30-
day months.

          2.   Method of Payment; Deemed Repayment.

               (a)  The Obligor will pay interest on the
Securities
(except defaulted interest) to the persons who are
registered Holders
of Securities at the close of business on the record date
set forth
on the face of this Security next preceding the applicable
interest
payment date.  Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying
Agent to
collect principal payments.  The Obligor will pay principal
and
interest in money of the United States that at the time of
payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided,
however, at the election of Company, interest may be paid,
in whole
or in part, on any interest payment date prior to the
Maturity Date
in additional Securities of like tenor with this Security in
a
principal amount equal to such interest payment amount or
part
thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Obligor
may pay
principal and interest by check payable in money of the
United States
mailed to a Holder's registered address.

               (b)  If the Guarantor is required to make any
Guarantee
Payments, and actually makes such payment to the Trustee,
whether in
cash, Payment Notes (as defined in the Guarantee Agreement)
or a
combination thereof, the Trustee shall thereupon immediately
(and
without the need for any notice or action on the part of any
Person)
be deemed to have collected the amount of such Guarantee
Payments in
respect of the Securities under Article 6 of the Indenture,
to be
applied in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Indenture.
In
computing any such deemed collection, each Payment Note
issued by the
Guarantor shall be deemed to have a value equal to the
principal
amount thereof.

          3.   Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially,
Chemical Bank
(the "Trustee") will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The
Company
may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar
without notice.
The Company may act in any such capacity.

          4.   Indenture.  The Obligor has issued the
Securities under
an Indenture, dated as March 29, 1994 (the "Indenture"),
between the
Obligor and the Trustee.  The terms of the Securities
include those
stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture
by
reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15
U.S.Code
77aaa=77bbbb) (the "Act") as in effect on the date of the
Indenture.  The Securities are subject to all such terms,
and
Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the Act
for a
statement of such terms.  The Securities are secured
obligations of
the Obligor limited to up to $192,804,000 aggregate
principal amount
(except for Securities issued in substitution for destroyed,
mutilated, lost or stolen Securities).  Terms used herein
which are
defined in the Indenture have the meanings assigned to them
in the
Indenture.

          5.   Optional Redemption.  The Securities may be
redeemed
at the option of the Obligor in whole at any time or in part
from time
to time at the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid
interest to the redemption date (the "Redemption Price").

          6.   Mandatory Redemption.   Within two Business
Days after
receipt of Net Proceeds by the Obligor, it shall deposit all
Net
Proceeds received in the Cash Collateral Account; provided,
however,
prior to making a deposit of Net Proceeds, (i) the Obligor
shall set
aside out of such Net Proceeds cash reserves sufficient to
cause the
Obligor to have at least $5 million of cash; and in addition
(ii) if
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company by
resolution made
in good faith, the Obligor may retain (a) the amount
specified in such
resolution up to an aggregate $5 million of such Net
Proceeds, in
order to meet the anticipated working capital needs of the
Obligor for
the one-year period commencing on the first day following
the
consummation of the Extraordinary Event in respect of which
such
deposit is made and (b) up to $1 million of any payment
received in
respect of casualty insurance covering the Pledged
Collateral to
replace the Pledged Collateral in respect of which such
insurance
payment is received.  Within 20 days after such deposit, the
Obligor
shall provide to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
setting forth
(a) a calculation of the Net Proceeds received by the
Obligor, (b) a
calculation of any amount set aside for working capital in
accordance
with clause (i) above, (c) a copy of any Board Resolution
passed in
accordance with clause (ii) above, and (d) a calculation of
the amount
being deposited in the Cash Collateral Account.  If at any
time there
is at least $5 million in the Cash Collateral Account, all
money in
the Cash Collateral Account shall be paid over to the
Trustee and
used, upon receipt of the Officers' Certificate delivered
pursuant to
Section 3.01 of the Indenture, by the Trustee to redeem
Securities at
the Redemption Price.

          7.   Security.  Securityholders are granted a
first priority
interest in the Pledged Collateral, pursuant to the
Collateral Agency
Agreement, as more fully set forth in the Indenture.  Each
Securityholder, by accepting a Security, agrees to all of
the terms
and provisions of the Collateral Agency Agreement, the
Guarantee
Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, as the same may be
amended from
time to time.

          8.   Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The
Securities are
in registered form without coupons in denominations of
$1,000 and
whole multiples of $1,000 except that additional Securities
issued in
payment of interest pursuant to Section 4.01 of the
Indenture may be
issued in denominations of $100 and whole multiples of $100.
The
transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may
be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture.  The Registrar may
require a
Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and
transfer documents.  No service charge shall be made for any
such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may
require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental
charge payable in connection therewith.  The Registrar need
not
exchange or register the transfer of any Security selected
for
redemption in whole or in part (except the
unredeemed portion of Securities being redeemed in part).
Also, it
need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities
for a
period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be
redeemed.

          9.   Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder
of any
of the Securities shall be treated as its owner for all
purposes.

          10.  No Merger or Consolidation; Release of
Subsidiaries.
The Company may not consolidate or merge with or into
another person.
Upon any Sale of Assets made in compliance with the terms of
the
Indenture which consists of the sale of all of the capital
stock of
a Subsidiary or the sale of a Subsidiary by means of any
merger or
consolidation, such Subsidiary's obligations in respect of
the
Indenture and the Securities shall, without payment of any
consideration or any further action on the part of any
Person, be
discharged and terminated; provided, however, no such
discharge or
termination shall be effective if at the time of such Sale
of assets
there is a Default or Event of Default.

          11t  Amendments and Waivers.  Subject to certain
exceptions,
the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the
consent of the
Holders of at least 66 % of the principal amount of the
Securities
outstanding, and certain existing defaults may be waived
with the
consent of the Holders of at least 66 % of the principal
amount of
the Securities outstanding.  Without the consent of any
Securityholder, the Indenture or the Securities may be
amended to cure
any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide
for
uncertificated Securities in addition to certificated
Securities, to
comply with Section 5.01 of the Indenture or to make any
change that
does not adversely affect the right of any Securityholder.

          12.  Defaults and Remedies.  An Event of Default
is: default
in the payment of interest on any Security when the same
becomes due
and payable, whether at maturity, in connection with any
redemption,
by acceleration or otherwise, which default continues for a
period of
30 days after its due date; default in the payment of the
principal
of any Security when the same becomes due and payable,
whether at
maturity, in connection with any redemption, by acceleration
or
otherwise (provided, however, in the case of any such
default
resulting from a dispute as to the computation of Net
Proceeds, that
such default shall have remained uncured for a period of 30
days from
the date of notice to the Company from the Trustee as to the
existence
of, and specifying the basis for, such default); failure by
the
Company or any Subsidiaries to observe or perform in any
material
respect any of its other covenants or agreements in the
Securities,
the Indenture or the Collateral Agency Agreement or any
other
agreement or instrument now or hereafter entered into
creating,
perfecting or evidencing the Lien in and on any of the
Pledged
Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit
of the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, which failure
continues for
a period of 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date on
which written
notice shall have been given to the Company or (ii) the date
on which
the Company had Actual Knowledge of such failure; failure by
the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay when due any
principal or
interest on any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness to the
Guarantor
under the Management Services Agreement or Indebtedness of
wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company to the Company or
other of
its wholly-owned Subsidiaries) with an aggregate outstanding
principal
amount in excess of $2 million, which default continues for
any period
of grace applicable thereto; a default or event of default,
as defined
in one or more indentures, agreements or other instruments
evidencing
or under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
individually or
collectively have, outstanding at least $2 million aggregate
principal
amount of Indebtedness shall happen and be continuing and
such
Indebtedness shall have been accelerated so that it is due
and payable
prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become
due and
payable, provided that if such default or event of default
under such
indenture or other instrument shall be remedied or cured by
the
Company or the Subsidiary or waived by the holders of such
Indebtedness, then the Event of Default under the Indenture
by reason
thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon
remedied,
cured or waived without further action upon the part of
either the
Trustee or any of the Holders of Securities; entry of one or
more
final judgments against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries for
payments of money which in the aggregate exceed $2 million,
by a court
of competent jurisdiction and such judgments are not
rescinded,
annulled, stayed or discharged within 90 days; the Company
and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, becomes unable generally to
pay its
debts as they become due; the commencement of a voluntary
case under
the Federal Bankruptcy law; the occurrence of certain other
events
under a Bankruptcy Law, including but not limited to the

Subsidiaries by a court of competent jurisdiction which
remains
unstayed and in effect for 60 days; the entry of a final
judgment,
decree or order by a court of competent jurisdiction holding
the
Guarantee Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the Collateral
Agency
Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable in any material
respect; the
Guarantor or the Obligor, or any Person acting on behalf of
the
foregoing, shall assert, in any pleading filed in such a
court, that
the Guarantee Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the
Collateral Agency
Agreement is invalid or unenforceable in any material
respect; or the
occurrence of an "Event of Default," as defined in the
Guarantee
Agreement.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing,
the

Repayment.

               (a)  The Guarantor hereby guarantees the

Subject
to Section 6(b) hereof, the Guarantor Obligations shall
become due and
payable by the Guarantor hereunder, if at all, upon notice
(a "Payment
Notice") from the Trustee delivered not earlier than the
first
Business Day following July 31, 1997 as to the Obligor's
failure to

Notwithstanding

hereunder
shall be due and payable hereunder only as expressly
provided in
Section 6(b) or the immediately preceding sentence and,
irrespective

subject to acceleration, whether as a result of any

if required under applicable law to be filed in connection
with any
such issuance of Payment Notes, to be duly qualified and
filed under
the applicable provisions of the TIA.

          3.   Nature of Guarantee.  This Guarantee is
unconditional,
irrevocable and continuing in nature.  This Guarantee is a
guarantee
of payment and performance, and is not merely a guarantee of
collection.

          4.   Covenants of Guarantor.

               (a)  Neither the Guarantor nor any of its
Subsidiaries
shall directly or indirectly demand, accept or receive
payment of any
monies whatsoever by the Obligor, whether by way of
repayment of debt,
dividend, distribution, salary, consulting fee or otherwise,
if such
payment would constitute a breach of Sections 4.08 or 4.09
of the
Indenture on the part of the Obligor (any such prohibited
payment, a
"Proscribed Distribution").  If, notwithstanding the
provisions of
this Guarantee, the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries
receives any
Proscribed Distribution (including receipt in any bankruptcy
or
similar proceedings), the Guarantor or such Subsidiary shall
hold such
payment in trust for the Trustee and will promptly turn over
such
payment to the Trustee, in the form received, to be held by
the
Trustee in an interest-bearing trust and applied to the
Guarantor
Obligations if appropriate in accordance with the terms of
this
Guarantee.  In the event of (x) any insolvency, bankruptcy,
receivership, custodianship, liquidation, reorganization,
readjustment
of debt, arrangement, composition, moratorium, assignment
for the
benefit of creditors, or other similar proceedings affecting
the
Obligor or its  property or assets, or (y) any proceeding
for
voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up or
bankruptcy
or other similar proceedings affecting the Obligor, then and
in any
such event the Asset Proceeds Notes and all amounts due to
the Trustee
under Section 7.07 of the Asset Proceeds Note Indenture
shall first
be (or, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, be
deemed to
be) indefeasibly paid in cash in full before any payment or
distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities,
obligations or other property, shall be made in respect of
Proscribed
Distributions.  The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any
claim or
other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against
the Obligor
that arise from the existence, payment, performance or
enforcement of
the Guarantor's obligations under the Guarantee including,
without
limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration,
indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim
or remedy
of any holder of Securities against the Obligor, whether or
not such
claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract,
statute
or common law, including, without limitation, the right to
take or
receive from the Obligor, directly or indirectly, in cash or
other
property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or
security on
account of such claim or other rights.  The Guarantor
acknowledges
that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the
financing
arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and the waiver
set forth
in this Section 4(a) is knowingly made in contemplation of
such
benefits.

               (b)  Except as specified in Section 7 hereof
and for
sales of the Subsidiaries of Rosebud Holdings, Inc.
permitted by the
Indenture, the Guarantor shall not sell, transfer, assign,
pledge,
exchange or otherwise encumber or dispose of, or grant any
option or
warrant with respect to, or cause the Obligor to issue, or
grant any
option or warrant with respect to the issuance of, any
capital stock
of the Obligor.

               (c)  The Guarantor shall not cause the
Obligor to merge
or consolidate with any other Person in violation of the
Indenture.
The Guarantor shall not consolidate or merge with or into,
or sell,
assign, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the
assets of
the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, to,
any Person unless:

                       (i)    there is no outstanding
Default or Event
of Default; and

                      (ii)    the Person formed by or
surviving any
such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor),
or to
which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, is an
entity
organized and existing under the laws of the United States,
any state
thereof or the District of Columbia; and

                     (iii)    the Person formed by or
surviving any
such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor),
or to
which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, assumes
all the
obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee; and

                      (iv)    the Person formed by or
surviving any
such consolidation or merger, or to which such sale or
conveyance
shall have been made (immediately after such transaction and
after
giving effect thereto), (A) has Consolidated Net Worth no
less than
the Consolidated Net Worth of the Guarantor and its
Restricted
Subsidiaries immediately preceding such transaction and (B)
would be
able to borrow $1 under Section 4.10 (without taking into
consideration the proviso thereto) of the Guarantor
Indenture as then
in effect (or, if not then in effect, as in effect
immediately prior
to the termination of its effectiveness).

          The Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee prior
to the
consummation of the proposed transaction an Officer's
Certificate to
the foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the
proposed transaction complies with this Section 4(c).  The
grant of
security interests in assets by the Guarantor in favor of
the lender
or lenders under the Permitted Working Capital Loan, as
defined in the
Guarantor Indenture, required by the Permitted Working
Capital Loan
shall not be deemed for purposes of this Section 4(c) to be
the sale,
assignment, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of
the
assets of the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries,
taken as a
whole.

               (d)  The Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee,
from time
to time, such reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by it
hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any
law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust).  The
Guarantor shall
reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-
pocket
expenses, advances and disbursements incurred or made by the
Trustee
in accordance with any provision of this Guarantee
(including the
reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of its
agents and
counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance
as may be
attributable to its gross negligence or bad faith.  The
Guarantor
shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless
against, any
loss, expense or liability (including the reasonable fees
and expenses
of agents and counsel) incurred without gross negligence,
bad faith
or willful misconduct on its part, in connection with the
acceptance
or administration of this Guarantee and the performance of
its duties
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending
itself
against any claim or liability in connection with the
exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

               (e)  Except as contemplated in the second
sentence of
Section 4(c) above, the Guarantor and its Restricted
Subsidiaries
shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep
in full force and effect its corporate existence; provided,
however,
that the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries shall not be
required to
preserve the corporate existence of any of the Guarantor's
Subsidiaries if the Guarantor's Board of Directors shall
determine
that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct
of the business of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as a
whole and
if the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to
the Holders.

               (f)  The Guarantor will pay or discharge or
cause to
be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent (i) all
material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied
or imposed
upon the Guarantor or any Subsidiary, and (ii) all lawful
claims for
labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law
become
a material Lien upon the property of the Guarantor or any
Subsidiary;
provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be required
to pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment,
charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is
being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for
which it
has set aside on its books such reserves as it deems
adequate and are
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

               (g)  Within 15 days after the Guarantor files
with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") copies of its
annual
and quarterly reports and other information, documents and
reports (or
copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC
may by
rules and regulations prescribe) which it is required to
file with the
SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Guarantor shall
deliver the
same to the Trustee.  If the Guarantor shall cease to be
subject to
the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
the
Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee, within 15 days after
the date
by which it would have been required to make such a filing
with the
SEC, audited annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and unaudited
condensed
quarterly financial statements, including any notes thereto
(but not
including any Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial
Condition and Results of Operations or other Materials),
each
comparable to that which the Guarantor would have been
required to
include in such annual reports, information, documents or
other
reports if the Guarantor were then subject to the
requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  The Guarantor also
shall
comply with the other provisions of TIA  314(a).

               (h)  The Guarantor will not itself, and will
not permit
any Restricted Subsidiary to, declare any Dividends or make
any
Restricted Stock Payment or Investment (other than Permitted
Investments) in each case if and to the extent such
declaration,
payment, redemption, retirement or investment would
constitute a
breach of Section 4.08 of the Guarantor Indenture as then in
effect
(or, if the Guarantor Indenture is not then in effect, as in
effect
immediately prior to the termination of its effectiveness).

               (i)  The Guarantor will not itself, and will
not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any
material
transaction with any of its Affiliates if and to the extent
such
transaction would constitute a breach of Section 4.09 of the
Guarantor
Indenture as then in effect (or, if the Guarantor Indenture
is not
then in effect, as in effect immediately prior to the
termination of
its effectiveness).

               (j)  The Guarantor will not, and will not
permit any
of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any agreement or execute
any
instrument that by its terms expressly prohibits or
otherwise would
have the effect of prohibiting the Guarantor from making any
payments
pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee.

               (k)  The Guarantor shall keep, or cause to be
kept,
true books and records and accounts in which entries will be
made of
all of the business transactions of the Guarantor and its
Restricted
Subsidiaries which shall be full and correct in all material
respects,
in accordance with sound business practices, and reflect in
their
respective financial statements adequate accruals and
appropriate
reserves, all in accordance with sound business practice and
generally
accepted accounting principles.

               (l)  The Guarantor shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, comply with all statutes, laws, ordinances,
or
governmental rules and regulations to which it is subject,
noncompliance with which would materially adversely affect
the
prospects, earnings, properties, assets or condition,
financial or
otherwise, of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole.

               (m)  In the event that any Default under this
Guarantee
shall occur, the Guarantor will give written notice of such
Default,
within 5 Business Days after the occurrence thereof, to the
Trustee,
specifying (i) the date on which such Default occurred, (ii)
the date
on which the Guarantor had Actual Knowledge thereof and
(iii) the
nature and status of such Default and the steps which the
Guarantor
or its Subsidiaries have taken or propose to take in order
to cure
such Default.  The Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee
within 120
days after the end of each fiscal year of the Guarantor, and
within
60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal
quarters of
the Guarantor, an Officer's Certificate stating that, after
a review
of the activities of the Guarantor during such period and of
the
Guarantor's performance under this Guarantee, whether or
not, to the
best knowledge of the signer thereof based on such review,
there has
been any Default or Event of Default by the Guarantor in
performing
any of its obligations under this Guarantee.  If the signer
does know
of any such Default or Event of Default, the certificate
shall
describe the Default or Event of Default and its status.

          5.   Continued Effectiveness of this Guarantee.
Subject to
the proviso set forth in the definitions of "Asset Proceeds
Notes" and
"Indenture," the Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that its
obligations hereunder shall be binding irrespective of any
event or
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable
discharge or defense of a guarantor, indemnitor or surety
under the
laws of any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, any
failure
of, or delay in, due and timely demand or notice, and
regardless of
any change of circumstances, whether or not foreseen or
foreseeable,
whether or not knowledge or notice thereof is imputable to
the
Guarantor, and irrespective of any present or future law or
order of
any jurisdiction (or any agency thereof) purporting to
reduce, amend
or otherwise affect any obligation of the Guarantor under
the terms
hereof or to vary the terms hereof or of the Asset Proceeds
Notes or
the Indenture or any other instrument, writing or
arrangement relating
thereto and irrespective of any other circumstance, whether
or not any
of the foregoing might in any manner or to any extent vary
the
obligations of the Guarantor  under this Guarantee or
otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
guarantor,
indemnitor or surety.

          The Guarantor hereby consents that at any time and
from time
to time, without notice to the Guarantor, the performance or
observance by the Obligor of any term or covenant of the
Asset
Proceeds Notes or the Indenture or any other instrument
pertaining
thereto, or any other writing or arrangement relating to the
Asset
Proceeds Notes or the Indenture may be waived, the time of
performance
thereof extended, the time of any payment under the Asset
Proceeds
Notes accelerated or extended, and any provisions of the
Asset
Proceeds Notes or the Indenture amended (subject to the
proviso set
forth in the definitions of "Asset Proceeds Notes" and
"Indenture"),
without affecting the liability of the Guarantor hereunder.
The
Guarantor hereby waives presentment and protest of any Asset
Proceeds
Note and waives all notices of every kind which may be
required to be
given by any statute, regulation or rule of law in any
jurisdiction.
The Guarantor hereby consents in all respects to the
execution and
delivery of the Asset Proceeds Notes and the Indenture and
to all of
the terms thereof, and acknowledges receipt of an executed
counterpart
of the Indenture and a specimen of the Asset Proceeds Notes.

          6.   Events of Default.

               (a)  An "Event of Default" occurs if:

                    (1)  the Guarantor defaults in the
payment of
Guarantor Obligations when the same become due and payable
in
accordance with Section 2 hereof;

                    (2)  the Guarantor fails to observe or
perform any
of its other covenants or agreements in this Guarantee,
which failure
continues for a period of 30 days after the earlier of (i)
the date
on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
Guarantor to
remedy the same, shall have been given to the Guarantor by
the
Trustee, or to the Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders
of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Asset
Proceeds Notes
at the time outstanding or (ii) the date on which the
Guarantor had
Actual Knowledge of such failure;

                    (3)  (a)  the Guarantor fails to pay
when due
(whether at maturity, in connection with any mandatory
amortization
or redemption, by acceleration or otherwise) any principal
or interest
on any indebtedness for borrowed money with an aggregate
outstanding
principal amount in excess of $5 million, whether any such
indebtedness is outstanding as of the date of this Guarantee
or is
hereafter outstanding, which default continues for the
period of grace
applicable thereto, or (b) a default or event of default, as
defined
in one or more indentures, agreements or other instruments
evidencing
or under which the Guarantor has, as of the date of this
Guarantee or
hereafter, outstanding at least $5 million aggregate
principal amount
of indebtedness for borrowed money, shall happen and be
continuing for
the period of grace applicable thereto; provided that if
such default
or event of default under such indenture or other instrument
shall be
remedied or cured by the Guarantor or waived by the holders
of such
indebtedness (whether prior to or after acceleration
thereof), then
the Event of Default under this Guarantee by reason thereof
shall be
deemed likewise to have been thereupon remedied, cured or
waived
without further action upon the part of either the Trustee
or any of
the Holders of Asset Proceeds Notes;

                    (4)  one or more final judgments against
the
Guarantor for payments of money which in the aggregate
exceed $5
million are entered by a court of competent jurisdiction and
such
judgments are not rescinded, annulled, stayed or discharged
within 60
days;

                    (5)  the Guarantor and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, become unable generally to
pay their
debts as they become due;

                    (6)  the Guarantor or any of its
Material
Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to or within the meaning of
any
Bankruptcy Law:

                         (a)  commences a voluntary case,

                         (b)  consents to the entry of a
judgment,
decree or order for relief against it in an involuntary case
or
proceeding,

                         (c)  consents to the appointment of
a
Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its
property,

                         (d)  makes a general assignment for
the
benefit of its creditors, or

                         (e)  applies for, consents to or
acquiesces
in the appointment of, or taking possession by a Custodian;

                    (7)  a court of competent jurisdiction
enters a
judgment, decree or order for relief in respect of the
Guarantor or
any of its Material Restricted Subsidiaries in an
involuntary case or
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law which shall:
                         (a)  approve as properly filed a
petition
seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition;

                         (b)  appoint a Custodian for any
part of its
property; or

                         (c)  order the winding up or
liquidation of
its affairs; and such judgment, decree or order remains
unstayed and
in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; or

                    (8)  any bankruptcy or insolvency
petition or
application is filed, or any bankruptcy case or insolvency
proceeding
is commenced against, the Guarantor or any of its Material
Restricted
Subsidiaries and such petition, application, case or
proceeding is not
dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days.

          The term "Material Restricted Subsidiary" shall
mean any
Restricted Subsidiary whose total Consolidated Net Worth
exceeds $5
million as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal
year.  The
term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11, U.S. Code or any
similar Federal
or State law for the relief of debtors.  The term
"Custodian" means
any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar
official under
any Bankruptcy Law.  The term "Actual Knowledge" means the
actual
knowledge of any Officer of the Guarantor; provided,
however, that
each Officer of the Guarantor shall be deemed to have actual
knowledge
of any fact that would have come to such Officer's attention
if he or
she had exercised reasonable care in performing his or her
duties,
given the nature of his or her duties and the Guarantor's
business and
organization.

               (b)  If an Event of Default (other than an
Event of
Default specified in Section 6(a)(6), (7) or (8)) occurs and
is
continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Guarantor, or the
Holders of
at least 25% in principal amount of the Asset Proceeds Notes
by notice
to the Guarantor and the Trustee, may declare the Guarantor
Obligations to be accelerated.  If an Event of Default
specified in
Section 6(a)(6), (7) or (8) occurs, all Guarantor
Obligations shall
ipso facto be accelerated without any declaration or other
act on the
part of the Trustee or any Holder.  Upon any acceleration of
the
Guarantor Obligations (i) if the Event of Default is
specified in
Section 6(a)(1), any and all Guarantor Obligations shall be
due and
payable immediately and (ii) otherwise, the Guarantor shall
irrevocably deposit in trust with the Trustee immediately
available
funds or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay all
Guarantor
Obligations on the first Business Day after the Maturity
Date.  In
order to have money available on a payment date to pay
Guarantor
Obligations, the U.S. Government Obligations shall be
payable as to
principal or interest on or before such payment date in such
amounts
as will provide the necessary money.  Such deposit shall be
made under
the terms of an irrevocable trust (in form and substance
reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee), and this Guarantee shall
thereupon
terminate except for the Guarantor's obligations to pay any
Guarantor
Obligations to the extent provided in Section 2 hereof
(which payment
shall be made, to the extent possible, from such trust fund)
and
except that the Trustee shall be obligated to return to the
Guarantor
any amounts remaining in such trust fund after all payments
required
to be made therefrom pursuant to this Guarantee are made.
The Holders
of at least 66 2/3% of the principal amount of the Asset
Proceeds
Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences by
notice to
the Trustee if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or
decree and if the outstanding Events of Default have been
cured or
waived, except for nonpayment of (or failure to deposit, as
the case
may be) Guarantor Obligations due solely as a result of such
acceleration.  No such rescission shall affect any
subsequent Event
of Default or impair any right or remedy with respect
thereto.

               (c)  Subject only to Section 6(b) hereof, the
right of
any Holder of an Asset Proceeds Note to receive payment
under this
Guarantee, on or after the due dates (prior to any
acceleration)
expressed in this Guarantee, or to bring suit for the
enforcement of
any such payment on or after such date, shall not be
impaired or
affected without the consent of the Holder, except that no
Holder of
Asset Proceeds Notes shall have the right to institute any
such suit
if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution
thereof or
the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law,
result in
the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of any Lien under
the Pledge
Agreement.  Except as provided in this Section 6(c) above, a
Holder
may pursue a remedy with respect to this Guarantee only if:

                    (1)  the Holder gives to the Trustee
written
notice of a continuing Event of Default;

                    (2)  the Holders of at least 25% in
principal
amount of the Asset Proceeds Notes make a written request to
the
Trustee to pursue the remedy;

                    (3)  Such Holder or Holders offer to the
Trustee
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any
loss,
liability or expense;

                    (4)  the Trustee does not comply with
the request
within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of
indemnity; and

                    (5)  during such 60-day period the
Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Asset Proceeds Notes do
not give
the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

A Holder may not use this Guarantee to prejudice the rights
of any
other Holder or to obtain a preference over any other
Holder.

               (d)  If an Event of Default specified in
Section
6(a)(1) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover
judgment in
its own name and as trustee of an express trust (which trust
shall be
established as provided in the third and fourth sentence of
Section
6(b)) against the Guarantor for the whole amount of the
Guarantor
Obligations.

               (e)  The Trustee may file such proofs of
claim and
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order
to have the claims of the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee
and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the
Guarantor,
its creditors or its property.  Nothing herein contained
shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept
or adopt on behalf of any Holder of the Asset Proceeds Notes
any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting
the Guarantee or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to
authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of the
Asset
Proceeds Notes in any such proceeding.

               (f)  In any suit for the enforcement of any
right or
remedy under this Guarantee or in any suit against the
Trustee for any
action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its
discretion
may require any party litigating the suit other than the
Trustee to
file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
court in its
discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit,
having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by
the party litigant.  This Section does not apply to a suit
by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6(c), or a
suit by
Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Asset
Proceeds
Notes.

          7.   Pledge Agreement.  To secure this Guarantee,
the
Guarantor is simultaneously herewith executing and
delivering the
Pledge Agreement.

          8.   Notices.  Any notices or other communications
required

Indenture,
at the addresses set forth for them in the register kept by
the

          9.   Binding Agreement; Assignment; Obligations
Several.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns,
including, without limitation, and without the need for an
express
assignment or amendment, subsequent Holders of Asset
Proceeds Notes
(whether or not the Asset Proceeds Notes held by such
persons are
outstanding as of the date hereof or issued hereafter).
This
Agreement may not be assigned by the Guarantor; provided,
however,
that this Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically
assigned by
the Guarantor to any Person which is a successor to the
Guarantor, in
accordance with the terms of this Guarantee.  This Guarantee
shall be
deemed to be automatically assigned by the Trustee to any
Person who
succeeds to the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture,
and such
assignee shall have all rights and powers of, and act as,
the Trustee
hereunder.  Each Holder of the Asset Proceeds Notes, by its
acceptance
of any Asset Proceeds Notes, consents to and agrees to be
bound by the
provisions hereof.

          10.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be
construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New
York
without regard to its conflict of law principles, except as
otherwise
required by mandatory provisions of law.

          11.  Effectiveness; Termination.  (a)  This
Agreement shall
become effective on the date hereof.  Upon the earlier of
(i) payment
in full (whether in cash, by issuance of Payment Notes or
any
combination thereof) of the Guarantor Obligations to the
Trustee in
accordance with Section 2 hereof or (ii) such time as the
Guarantor
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate to the
effect
that the Covered Deficiency is $0 (setting forth all
calculations in
reasonable detail), this Agreement shall terminate.  If any
Holder or
the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return
to the
Guarantor or the Obligor or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or
other similar official acting in relation to the Obligor or
the
Guarantor, any amount paid by the Obligor or the Guarantor
to the
Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent
discharged by
such payment, shall be reinstated to such extent (but to be
no more
than the amount of the Covered Deficiency).

               (b)  The Guarantor may terminate its
obligations under
this Guarantee by:

                       (i)    irrevocably depositing in
trust with the
Trustee, pursuant to an irrevocable trust and security
agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee,
money or
U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay all Guarantor
Obligations on the first Business Day after the Maturity
Date.
Immediately after making the deposit, the Guarantor shall
give notice
of such event to the Holders;

                      (ii)    delivering to the Trustee an
Opinion of
Counsel and an Officer's Certificate stating that all
conditions
precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction
and
discharge of this Guarantee have been complied with; and

                     (iii)    delivering to the Trustee
either (i) an
unqualified Opinion of Counsel, stating that the Holders of
the Asset
Proceeds Notes (a) will not recognize income, gain or loss
for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of such deposit (and the
defeasance
contemplated in connection therewith) and (b) will be
subject to
Federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same
manner and at
the same times as would have been the case if such deposit
and
defeasance had not occurred, or (ii) an applicable favorable
ruling
to that effect received from or published by the Internal
Revenue
Service.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor's obligations
in Section
2 and 4(c) hereof and Article VII of the Indenture shall
survive until
this Guarantee terminates pursuant to Section 11(a).  After
a deposit
pursuant to this Section 11(b), the Trustee upon request
shall
acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Guarantor's
obligations
under this Guarantee except for those surviving obligations
specified
above.  In order to have money available on a payment date
to pay
Guarantor Obligations, the U.S. Government Obligations shall
be
payable as to principal or interest on or before such
payment date in
such amounts as will provide the necessary money.

               (c)  The Trustee shall hold in trust money or
U.S.
Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section
11(b).
It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S.
Government
Obligations in accordance with this Guarantee to the payment
of
Guarantor Obligations.

               (d)  The Trustee shall promptly pay to the
Guarantor
upon written request any excess money or securities held by
it at any
time.

               (e)  If the Trustee is unable to apply any
money or
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11(b)
by reason
of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or
judgment of any
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise
prohibiting such application, the Guarantor's obligations
under this
Guarantee shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit has
occurred pursuant to Section 11(b) until such time as the
Trustee is
permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government
Obligations in
accordance with Section 11(b); provided, however, that if
the
Guarantor has made any payment of Guarantor Obligations
because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Guarantor shall be
subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Asset Proceeds Notes to
receive
such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations
held by the
Trustee or Guarantor.

          12.  Trust Indenture Act Controls.  If any
provision of this

                      DISPOSITION AGREEMENT



     This Management Services and Asset Disposition

corporation
(the "Subsidiaries") (Rosebud together with the Subsidiaries
hereinafter collectively referred to as "Rosebud").

     WHEREAS, Lone Star and certain of its subsidiaries
filed
voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of
the United
States Bankruptcy Code (Case Nos. 90 B 21276 through 90 B
21286, 90
B 21334 and 90 B 21335 (HS)). The Chapter 11 cases of Lone
Star were
consolidated procedurally and were pending in the United
States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the
"Bankruptcy Court").


     WHEREAS, On November 5, 1993 Lone Star filed a Revised
Amended
Consolidated Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") dated
November 4,
1993. By order dated November 5, 1993, as amended by an
order dated
November 23, 1993, the Bankruptcy Court approved Lone Star's
Revised
Amended Disclosure Statement.   The Plan was confirmed by
the
Bankruptcy Court on February 17, 1994. Terms not otherwise
defined
herein are used in this Agreement as defined in the Plan.

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, Lone Star
transferred
to Rosebud all of its interests in its Non-Core Assets as
defined in
the Plan and set forth on the list attached hereto as
Exhibit "A" (the
"Rosebud Assets").

     WHEREAS, Lone Star has substantial expertise in the
cement and
construction materials businesses.

     WHEREAS, Lone Star has agreed to enter into this
Agreement to
provide for the management of Rosebud and the performance of
various
other administrative services relating to Rosebud.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of
the
mutual agreements hereinafter set forth and other good and
valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


ARTICLE I
APPOINTMENT; TERM and TERMINATION

     1.1  Appointment.  Lone Star is hereby appointed and
authorized
by Rosebud, and Lone Star hereby accepts such appointment
and agrees,
to perform the duties provided for in this Agreement.
Rosebud is
hereby appointed and authorized by each of the Subsidiaries,
and
Rosebud hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act as
each of
their agents, perform the duties provided for in this
Agreement and
shall have the right to amend or waive any provision of this
Agreement.

     1.2  Term and Termination.  The term of this Agreement
shall
commence as of the date hereof and shall continue until the
earliest
of (i) March 31, 1998; (ii) when the Board of Directors of
Rosebud
determines that the purpose of Rosebud has been fulfilled or
(iii)
Lone Star or Rosebud terminates this Agreement upon thirty
(30) days
written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i)
Lone Star may terminate this Agreement without prior notice
to Rosebud
should Rosebud fail to pay any amounts when due and (ii) the
trustee
under the Asset Proceeds Notes Indenture may terminate this
Agreement
upon an event of default under such Indenture.

     Upon termination of this Agreement, Lone Star and
Rosebud shall
remain liable for their respective obligations which have
accrued up
to and including the termination date and shall promptly pay
to the
other all amounts due the other party under the terms of
this
Agreement.  Such payment shall be made as soon as
practicable
following the date of termination.  Upon such payment,
neither Lone
Star nor Rosebud shall have any further claim or right
against the
other with respect to this Agreement, except as otherwise
provided
herein. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement,
indemnification obligations and obligations to pay any
amount then and
thereafter due under this Agreement shall survive
indefinitely.

ARTICLE II          SERVICES PROVIDED BY LONE STAR

     2.1  Nature of Services; Scope of Authority and Power.
Lone Star
shall provide to Rosebud such consulting services of an
executive and
managerial nature as Lone Star in its sole discretion deems
necessary
or appropriate for the conduct of Rosebud's affairs in a
manner not
inconsistent with Section 4.03 of the Asset Proceeds Notes
Indenture,
Rosebud's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws and the
laws of the
State of Delaware. The provision of such services shall not
constitute
any delegation of the duties by the board of directors of
Rosebud
which shall retain its full responsibility to act for the
benefit of
Rosebud. Lone Star will supervise the performance of its
personnel as
to those activities which it believes are necessary or
desirable to
provide such consulting services to Rosebud. In connection
with such
services Lone Star may market the Rosebud Assets by
preparing
financial and marketing information and contacting potential
buyers,
including cement and construction companies (both domestic
and
foreign), and, if appropriate, financial buyers.  In such
connection,
Lone Star may provide to Rosebud management personnel
experienced in
the disposition of assets to actively seek to dispose of the
Rosebud
Assets on the best terms available.

     The consulting services provided herein may include,
without
limitation, the following, provided that the Rosebud board
of
directors shall have approved in advance such action
involving in the
aggregate an amount in excess of $1,000,000:

     (a)  The right to negotiate and renegotiate any and all
contracts, documents and other legal instruments, and any
amendments
thereto, subject to approval and execution by Rosebud;

     (b)  The right to arrange for the sale of assets of or
for
Rosebud;

     (c)  The right to advise, consult, organize and
reorganize with
respect to all aspects of Rosebud's business, including,
without
limitation, all matters relating to operations, marketing
and all
administrative and financial operations;

     (d)  Advise as to policy and procedures with respect to
financial
receipts and expenditures; and

     (e)  Generally to take all action with respect to any
of the
foregoing as Lone Star deems fit.

     2.2  Duties of Lone Star.  Subject to Section 4.3
hereof, Lone
Star shall provide management services for Rosebud,
including, without
limitation, certain accounting, administrative, data
processing, human
resources, financial, legal, professional, sales, tax,
technical and
other services which Lone Star in its sole discretion deems
necessary
or desirable in a manner not inconsistent with Section 4.03
of the
Asset Proceeds Notes Indenture (the "Services").

     2.3 Nazareth Plant and Quarry Supervisory, Operations
and Sales
Personnel.  Subject to Section 4.3 hereof, Lone Star shall
use
reasonable efforts to provide the services of its existing
Nazareth
quarry and cement plant supervisory, operations and sales
staff
(consisting of both hourly and salaried employees) to
continue the
usual quarrying, manufacturing and cement distribution
operations of
the Nazareth cement plant facility, adjusting the size and
composition
of said workforce according to the operational needs of the
facility.
Nothing in this section shall constitute a limitation on the
right of
Lone Star at any time during the term of this Agreement to
discontinue
providing Lone Star employees to Rosebud, and to assist
Rosebud in the
retention of its own employees and the establishment of the
applicable
salaries, wages, benefits, hours and terms and conditions of
employment of said Rosebud retained employees. Lone Star
shall
endeavor to initially retain on the job all of its Nazareth
plant
staff, as listed in Exhibit "B" attached hereto, and to
employ such
other employees as Lone Star may determine are appropriate
for
operation of the facility (collectively "Nazareth Plant
Employees").
Lone Star shall retain its full right to manage and
supervise said
workforce, including, but not limited to the right to hire,
terminate
and or layoff the Nazareth Plant Employees and to determine
their
compensation. Upon the sale of the Nazareth cement plant
facility, the
parties hereto will make arrangements relating to the
Nazareth Plant
Employees, and the welfare and benefit plans and liabilities
relating
thereto, as will be acceptable to Lone Star in its sole
discretion,
provided however, no such arrangements will result in a
violation of
Section 3.08 of the Asset Proceeds Notes Indenture.

     2.4  Provision of Insurance.  Lone Star shall assist in
the
administration of the insurance coverage program (property,
casualty,
workman's compensation and general liability) for Rosebud.
Such
insurance coverage may be provided for a period (not to
include
periods prior to the Effective Date) ("Coverage Period")
through Lone
Star's insurance program, by a separate insurance program
obtained
directly for Rosebud by Lone Star or a combination thereof,
as Lone
Star shall determine.  The policies for Rosebud's insurance
program
may include, but are not limited to, an incurred
retrospective rating
plan, guaranteed cost plan, other recognized method of
insurance
coverage and any combination thereof.  Nothing herein shall
permit or
require Lone Star itself to act as an insurance carrier or
agent for
Rosebud or to be construed as such. All insurance covering
Rosebud
shall provide for 30 days written notice to Rosebud prior to
any
cancellation or termination of insurance coverage.

     The provision of insurance by Lone Star for Rosebud
under this
Agreement may be terminated at any time by Lone Star.

     2.5 Advances.  If approved by the Board of Directors of
Lone Star
and Rosebud Holdings, Inc., as being in the best interest of
each such
corporation, Lone Star may make cash advances, up to an
aggregate
amount outstanding of $5 million at any one time, to Rosebud
for its
working capital purposes. Any such advance shall be made
with interest
at the then rate being paid by Lone Star for its working
capital and
evidenced by an appropriate master note in form and
substance
reasonably acceptable to Lone Star and shall be repaid by
Rosebud out
of available cash or any net proceeds (prior to the use of
any such
net proceeds for any other purposes whatsoever) received by
Rosebud
from any sale of assets, disposition of litigation or
payment under
the promissory note, dated April 7, 1987, by Arthur Riedel
in favor
of Lone Star, which has subsequently been assigned to
Rosebud.

ARTICLE IIICOMPENSATION FOR SERVICES; PAYMENT OF EXPENSES
AND
LIABILITIES
     3.1  Administrative Services Fee. Rosebud shall pay
Lone Star
quarterly in arrears a fee equal to the total of .25 percent
of the
amounts set out along side each of the Rosebud Assets in the
letter
dated the date hereof and attached hereto as Exhibit "C"
from Rosebud
to Lone Star covering the administrative services fee (the
"Letter")
for each asset owned on the date of such computation. In the
event of
a sale of any such asset(s) during the quarter for which
payment is
being made the amount payable as to such asset(s) shall be
pro-rated
based on the number of days such asset(s) was owned by
Rosebud in such
quarter. Such computations shall be set out in a certificate
furnished
by Rosebud to Lone Star and reasonably acceptable to Lone
Star.

     In the case of the Nazareth Cement Plant the percent
used to
compute the quarterly administrative services fee shall be
1.25.
Further as to each of the litigations set forth in the
attached
Exhibit "A", the administrative services fee shall be as set
forth in
the Letter. It is agreed that Lone Star shall pay the
Eligible
Employees (as defined in the Incentive Plan) of Lone Star
any amounts
for which such employees become entitled to under the terms
of the
Incentive Plan a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
"D".

     3.2  Out of Pocket Expenses. To the extent practicable,
Rosebud
will directly pay all expenses incurred by it or on its
behalf
(including expenses incurred by Lone Star). Should Lone Star
pay any
such expenses (including without limitation, income taxes),
Rosebud
shall promptly reimburse Lone Star upon receipt of a request
by Lone
Star setting forth in sufficient detail such expenses to be
reimbursed. Further to the extent Lone Star can sufficiently
anticipate expenses in advance to be incurred on behalf of
Rosebud,
Rosebud shall pay such expenses no earlier than two weeks in
advance
upon receipt of a request by Lone Star setting forth in
sufficient
detail such expenses. Lone Star shall reimburse Rosebud any
such
amounts paid in excess of the actual anticipated expenses.
Income
taxes payable by Rosebud shall include not only direct taxes
payable
by Rosebud but also any federal or state tax liability
resulting from
the filing of a consolidated, unitary or combined tax return
in which
Rosebud and Lone Star or Lone Star's other subsidiaries were
included,
apportioned based on the ratio of taxable income of each
participant
in such return to the total of the taxable income of all
companies
with taxable income included in such return.

     3.3  Liabilities.  Notwithstanding any other provision
of this
Agreement or the Master Transfer Agreement of even date
herewith,
between Rosebud, on one hand, and Lone Star and certain of
its
subsidiaries, on the other (the "Master Transfer
Agreement"), (x) all
indemnities of Rosebud under this Agreement and under the
Master
Transfer Agreement, including, without limitation, all
"Obligations",
as defined in the Master Transfer Agreement and all Current
Employment
Costs, in respect of actions that have taken place, or
conditions
which exist, or liabilities which have accrued, prior to the
date
hereof ("Existing Actions and Conditions"), shall be paid to
Lone Star
and its subsidiaries in cash as they become liquidated until
the
aggregate amount of all such payments equals $7 million
(provided,
however, Rosebud shall indemnify and hold harmless Lone Star
and its
subsidiaries to the extent of the value of the lien on the
Fort Worth,
Texas property in favor of Dr. Richard C. Schaffer, as
described in
the Modified Amended Disclosure Statement relating to the
Plan, and
any payments in respect of such indemnity shall not be
included in the
calculation of the aggregate $7 million of indemnity
pursuant to this
sentence); and (y) thereafter, no further payments in
respect of such
indemnities or Current Employment Costs may be made until
(i)
repayment in full of Rosebud's 10% Asset Proceeds Notes due
1997 (the
"Asset Proceeds Notes") issued pursuant to an Indenture (the
"Asset
Proceeds Note Indenture"), dated as of March 29, 1994,
between Rosebud
and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), and (ii)
repayment in
full in cash of the Payment Notes, if any, as defined in the
Asset
Proceeds Note Indenture.  Subject to the first sentence of
this
Section 3.3, upon each Extraordinary Event, as defined in
the Assets
Proceeds Notes Indenture, Rosebud shall (x) to the fullest
extent
allowed pursuant this Section 3.3, pay all indemnification
obligations
and Current Employment Costs in respect of Existing Actions
and
Conditions hereunder and under the Master Transfer Agreement
to the
extent such obligations are for liquidated amounts (each of
which
liquidated amount shall be deemed to be an "advance" to or
for the
benefit of Rosebud for purposes of clause (iv) of the
definition of
"Net Proceeds" under the Asset Proceeds Notes Indenture) and
(y) to
the extent such obligations are not for liquidated amounts
and are
retained by Rosebud after the Extraordinary Event, Rosebud
shall make
appropriate reserves on its books and reserve cash therefor
(whether
through escrow arrangements or otherwise) to the fullest
extent
permissible under clause (v) of the definition of "Net
Proceeds" under
the Asset Proceeds Notes Indenture; provided, however that
Rosebud
shall not create or continue to maintain such reserves to
the extent
that the amount of indemnification obligations and Current
Employment
Costs paid in cash as set forth in clauses (x) and such
reserves in
accordance with clause (y) above at the time of
determination in the
aggregate (without duplication), would exceed $7 million,
prior to
repayment in full of the Asset Proceeds Notes and the
Payment Notes.
Nothing contained in this Section 3.3 shall affect the
payment of
indemnities hereunder in respect of any actions or
conditions other
than Current Actions and Conditions.

     3.4  Costs Related to Nazareth Plant Employees.
Rosebud shall
promptly reimburse Lone Star for all employment costs
associated with
the Nazareth Plant Employees, including, but not limited to,
all
wages, benefits, vacation and severance entitlements,
employment
taxes, and other obligations arising under any Federal or
State laws,
employee pension, profit-sharing or welfare benefit plans,
corporate
policies (including any severance policies), programs or
practices,
and collectively bargained agreements ("Current Employment
Costs").

     Current Employment Costs shall also include any and all
liability
and or expenses, including attorneys' fees and court costs,
accruing
to Lone Star and or any of its subsidiaries or their
respective
directors, officers, employees and or agents, arising out of
or in
connection with any Nazareth Plant Employee employment
related matter
whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any claims for
relief,
actions or causes of action, suits, administrative actions,
complaints, controversies, claims for damages, judgments and
demands,
whether in law or equity, arising out of or in connection
with the
employment relationship or the termination of that
relationship,
including any alleged violation of Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act
of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967,
the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Fair Labor
Standards Act,
the National Labor Relations Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1963,
the
Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, the Pennsylvania Wage
Payment and
Collection Law, the  Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act of 1968,
and the
Pennsylvania Equal Pay Law, all as amended, or any other
local, State
or Federal laws, regulations or ordinances.

     Rosebud shall promptly reimburse Lone Star for such of
the
Current Employment Costs as Lone Star shall from time to
time submit
written request.  Such requests shall be made as frequently
as Lone
Star shall determine is practical under the circumstances
for the cost
item involved.

     Should any dispute arise as to the amount of any
Current
Employment Costs claimed to have been incurred by Lone Star,
Rosebud
agrees to accept for settlement of dispute purposes the
certification
made by Lone Star's certified public accountant that said
Current
Employment Costs were incurred and or paid by Lone Star in
connection
with the Nazareth Plant Employees.  With respect to any
Current
Employment Costs which requires actuarial calculations and
judgment,
Lone Star's certified public accountant shall consult with
and rely
upon the judgment of Lone Star's then principal actuary in
making its
own certification.

     3.5  Insurance Expenses. If insurance coverage is
obtained for
Rosebud through Lone Star's insurance program, Rosebud shall
pay to
Lone Star its portion of the fixed, variable, excess,
umbrella and
other related program costs for a Coverage Period.  Rosebud
shall pay
this amount to Lone Star in equal monthly installments
payable on the
first day of the month of such Coverage Period. If Rosebud
does not
pay to Lone Star the amount due on the first day of any
month, Lone
Star may advance such amount to the insurance carrier on
behalf of
Rosebud and if Lone Star does advance such amount, interest
shall
accrue and be payable on such overdue payment by Rosebud
from the due
date to the date of payment by Rosebud to Lone Star at the
prime rate
of interest charged by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New
York from
time to time during such overdue period.

     If a separate insurance program is obtained for
Rosebud, Rosebud
will be responsible to make all payment directly to the
carriers as
required under such program.

     3.6  Insurance Expenses Subsequent to a Coverage Period
Relating
to that Coverage Period.  In the case of an incurred
retrospective
rating plan, Lone Star and the insurance carrier or broker
shall
determine annually following the end of a Coverage Period,
until that
Coverage Period is closed out by agreement of Lone Star and
the
insurance carrier, the actual costs of insurance coverage
for Rosebud
for that Coverage Period.  To the extent that the actual
costs for
Rosebud exceed the estimated costs paid during and for such
Coverage
Period by Rosebud plus any amounts paid by Rosebud pursuant
to this
Section for such Coverage Period, Rosebud will owe to Lone
Star the
difference between the actual costs and these other amounts
and will
pay to Lone Star such amount within thirty (30) days after
receipt of
a statement therefor.  To the extent that the actual costs
are less
than the estimated costs paid during and for such Coverage
Period by
Rosebud plus any amounts paid by Rosebud pursuant to this
Section for
such Coverage Period, Lone Star shall, in its sole
discretion, either
grant to Rosebud a credit against charges for the then
Coverage Period
or refund the overpayment in cash.

     Upon the sale of any Rosebud Assets, the insurance
provided under
this Agreement will be terminated as to those assets and, to
the
extent the liabilities described in clause (i) and (ii)
below are not
assumed by the purchaser of such asset, Lone Star will be
paid by
Rosebud at the time of such sale an amount in cash in full
necessary
to extinguish (i) all outstanding liabilities for insurance
relating
to such assets and (ii) all future liabilities to insurance
carriers
under any incurred retrospective rating plan for all future
retrospective charges relating to such assets.

     Any statement for a charge or credit shall include the
calculations upon which it is based together with the data
reasonably
necessary to support such calculations.  Unless there is
manifest
error in the calculations, the determinations of Lone Star
as to a
charge or a credit shall become conclusive on the parties
ten (10)
days after delivery.

ARTICLE IVLIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS AND INDEMNIFICATION

     4.1  Obligations. Rosebud agrees that Lone Star's
obligations
hereunder are limited to using its reasonable commercial
efforts to
accomplish the objectives of this Agreement and Section 4.03
of the
Asset Proceeds Notes Indenture. Rosebud further agrees that
Lone Star
gives no guarantees, representations or warranties regarding
the
performance, success or profitability presently or in the
future of
any aspect of Rosebud businesses or the salability or prices
obtainable for the Rosebud Assets or any of them and shall
not be
liable in connection therewith or for failure to achieve any
particular results.

     Lone Star shall report as to its activities hereunder,
including
but not limited to, a detailed status of Rosebud's insurance
program,
in writing, not less frequently than each calendar quarter
to the
Rosebud board of directors and if so requested by such board
of
directors Lone Star will have representatives appear at a
meeting of
the Rosebud board of directors.

     4.2  Other Business Activities of Lone Star; Corporate
Opportunity. Rosebud acknowledges and understands that Lone
Star and
its affiliates are engaged in and intend to engage in the
future,
among other things, in a broad spectrum of cement, clinker
and
construction materials businesses including, but not limited
to, the
production of ready-mix concrete, sand and gravel, crushed
stone, and
precast concrete products, some of which businesses and
activities may
compete with business activities of Rosebud or entities in
which
Rosebud has an interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall
limit or prevent Lone Star or its affiliates from continuing
or
commencing (alone or with others, on its own behalf or on
behalf of
others) to carry out or to engage, participate or invest in,
any
activity, business enterprise or investment of any kind
whatsoever,
including without limitation conducting such business
activities as
may currently exist or which Lone Star or its affiliates or
such other
persons may hereafter commence or acquire, in each case
including,
without limitation, those which may be in direct or indirect
competition with Rosebud. Accordingly, Rosebud acknowledges
that Lone
Star or its affiliates may locate or be approached with
regard to
opportunities, contracts, ventures, investments,
partnerships,
sponsorships or other business arrangements of any kind
whatsoever or
any participation therein ("Opportunities"), that could be
exploited
either by Lone Star or any of its affiliates directly, by
other
entities in which Lone Star or any of its affiliates is
involved,
and/or by Rosebud or its affiliates. As part of the
inducement to Lone
Star to enter into this Agreement, Rosebud hereby waives any
and all
obligations with respect to or claims against Lone Star and
its
affiliates arising from any Opportunity and agrees and
acknowledges
that Lone Star and its affiliates may individually or
collectively,
or through any other entity, exploit any Opportunity that
arises
whether or not such Opportunity might be suitable for
Rosebud.

     Rosebud may enter into any contract or agreement with
Lone Star
or its affiliates in furtherance of its business operations
or
otherwise as shall be approved by the Rosebud board of
directors
provided, however, that any such contract or agreement shall
not be
inconsistent with Section 4.09 of the Senior Note Indenture
or section
4.09 of the Asset Proceeds Notes Indenture.

     4.3  Limitation of Liability; Indemnity.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Lone Star shall
not be
liable to Rosebud for any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by Lone
Star, its directors, officers, employees and agents, except
where such
actions taken or omitted to be taken by Lone Star, its
directors,
officers, employees or the hiring of such agents are in bad
faith or
constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Rosebud
hereby
covenants and agrees to indemnify Lone Star, its directors,
officers,
employees and agents, and to hold them harmless against any
and all
claims, expense, liability, loss, damage and cost (including
without
limitation, reasonable legal, accounting or other
professional fees,
costs and expenses) incurred without bad faith, gross
negligence or
willful misconduct on Lone Star's part and arising out of or
in
connection with (i) Rosebud's ownership or operation of the
Rosebud
Assets subsequent to the date hereof, (ii) any business
conducted in
connection with or on the premises of the Rosebud Assets
subsequent
to the date hereof and (iii) the providing of or failure to
provide
the Services hereunder.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, Lone
Star, its officers, directors, employees and agents shall
not be
liable to Rosebud or any third party (i) for failure to
provide
insurance coverage or gaps therein; (ii) for the actions,
non-actions,
determinations or cancellation of insurance by any carrier
providing
insurance for Rosebud; (iii) for the solvency of any carrier
providing
insurance for Rosebud or (iv) when taken in good faith, for
their own
actions unless such actions constitute gross negligence.

     Rosebud agrees that if it is covered by Lone Star's
insurance
program it will not take any action directly against any
insurance
carrier providing insurance to it without Lone Star's prior
written
consent. Rosebud and each of the Subsidiaries further agree
that each
of them shall be jointly and severally liable to Lone Star
for all
amounts due to Lone Star for insurance pursuant to this
Agreement
including all future retrospective payments due under
Section 3
hereof.

     4.4  Claims Procedure.

     (a)  Notice of Claim.  If Lone Star shall determine
that an event
giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder shall
have
occurred or is threatened, Lone Star shall, as soon as
practicable
thereafter, execute and deliver to Rosebud a notice stating
that such
event has occurred or is threatened ("Notice of Claim").

     Lone Star shall promptly deliver a Notice of Claim (i)
of any
written notice commencing legal or other proceedings in
connection
with a matter or event determined by Lone Star to give rise
to an
indemnifiable claim hereunder or (ii) of receipt of a letter
threatening the same. Lone Star's failure to deliver a
Notice of Claim
shall in no way prejudice its rights hereunder.

     (b)  Payment.  Unless Rosebud shall dispute a claim in
accordance
with the provisions of section (c) below, Rosebud shall,
subject to
Section 3.3 hereof, pay such claim or assume the defense of
such claim
pursuant to section (d) below with respect to which it has
received
a Notice of Claim within thirty (30) days of the receipt of
such
Notice of Claim.

     (c)  Dispute of Claim.  If Rosebud shall in good faith
dispute
the validity of all or any portion of a claim for
indemnification as
set forth in any Notice of Claim, Rosebud shall, within
thirty (30)
days of receipt of such Notice of Claim, execute and deliver
to Lone
Star a notice setting forth with particularity the grounds
and basis
upon which such claim or the amount thereof is disputed (the
"Notice
of Dispute"). To the extent that Rosebud does not dispute a
claim or
such portion of a claim, it shall, subject to Section 3.3
hereof, pay
such portion or amount as is not in dispute in accordance
with the
terms of section (b).

     (d)  Defense of Claim.  In the event any claim for
indemnification hereunder results from or in connection with
any claim
or legal proceeding by a third party, including any
governmental
agency, Lone Star shall not settle or compromise any such
claim for
which it is allegedly entitled to indemnification without
the prior
written consent of Rosebud (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld)
unless a lawsuit or administrative proceeding shall have
been
instituted or shall be overtly threatened and Rosebud shall
not have
taken control of such suit or administrative proceeding
after
notification thereof.  In the event of any claim hereunder,
Rosebud
may, at Rosebud's sole cost and expense, and upon written
notice to
Lone Star, assume and control the defense of any claim or
legal
proceeding if Rosebud acknowledges in writing to Lone Star
that
Rosebud is obligated to indemnify Lone Star with respect to
all
elements of such claim and evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of
Lone Star an ability to satisfy any such claim. Lone Star
shall be
entitled to participate in the defense of any such action,
with its
own counsel, and at its own expense. If Rosebud does not
assume the
control and defense of any such claim or litigation arising
therefrom,
Lone Star may defend against such claim or litigation in
such manner
as it may deem appropriate, including but not limited to
settling such
claim or litigation on such terms as Lone Star may deem
appropriate
after giving notice of such proposed settlement to Rosebud.
Rosebud
shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the
defense of
such action with its own counsel and at its own expense.

                            ARTICLE VMISCELLANEOUS
     5.1  Amendments.  This Agreement may not be amended or

     5.4  Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement
is held
to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then the parties to
this
Agreement shall be relieved of all obligations arising under
such
provision, but only to the extent that such provision is
unenforceable, and this Agreement shall be deemed amended by
modifying
such provision to the extent necessary to make it
enforceable while
preserving its intent or, if that is not possible, by
substituting
another provision that is enforceable and achieves the same
objective
and economic result.

     5.6  Assignability of Rights and Obligations.  The
rights and
obligations of Lone Star shall not be assigned, transferred

entity
controlled by Lone Star provided it remains liable
hereunder.

acknowledge and
agree that Lone Star is acting solely as an independent
contractor and

any manner
whatsoever, except as may hereafter be authorized in writing
by
Rosebud. Lone Star has not assumed any liability of Rosebud
and shall
be liable only for its own conduct (to the extent provided
in Section
4.3 hereof) and not for any obligation now or hereafter
incurred by
Rosebud. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any
person other
than a party hereto or a party's permitted successors or
assigns any
rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever.

as if set
forth herein in full.

     5.9  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by
the parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and
delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts
shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument.

     5.10  Headings.  The headings of the various Articles
and
Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference
only and
shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions
hereof.

     5.11  Governing Law.  The provisions of this Agreement
shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of
New York without giving effect to conflict of law rules.

Agreement

                      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
          This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") made as of
the 1st
day of July, 1994 between David W. Wallace ("Executive") and
Lone Star
Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having its
principal office
at 300 First Stamford Place, Stamford, Connecticut ("Lone
Star" or the
"Company").
                           WITNESSETH:
          In consideration of the mutual promises,
agreements and
covenants hereby made, the mutual benefits to be derived
from this
Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto
agree and understand as follows:
          1.   Lone Star hereby employs Executive, and
Executive
hereby accepts employment by Lone Star, on the terms and
conditions
set forth in this Agreement for an initial term of twenty-
four (24)
consecutive months commencing as of the date hereof (the
"Initial
Term"), as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, with such
duties as
are specified in the By-Laws of Lone Star and such other
duties
customary to the position as may be assigned to Executive
from time
to time by the Board of Directors of Lone Star.  Unless
terminated
pursuant to the other terms hereof, this Agreement shall
continue in
full force and effect after the Initial Term for successive
two-year
terms (each such term, and the Initial Term, a "Term").
          2.   Lone Star shall pay Executive a salary
("Salary") at
the rate of $150,000 per annum until the effective date of
termination
of this Agreement.  Salary shall continue to be paid to
Executive on
the currently established pay periods of Lone Star.  The
Compensation
and Stock Option Committee (or such other Board committee as
shall
then be responsible for making such decisions or, if none,
the full
Board of Directors) may in its discretion consider increases
in the
Executive's Salary from time to time, and upon any such
increase
"Salary" for purposes hereof shall thereafter mean the
Executive's
salary as so increased notwithstanding any purported
subsequent
reduction thereof by any such committee or the Board.  In
addition,
the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (or such other
Board
committee as shall then be responsible for making such
decisions, or
if none, the full Board of Directors) may in its discretion
consider
granting to the Executive from time to time such bonuses,
stock
options or other incentive compensation as it deems
appropriate.
          3.   (a)  (i)  Either party, by written notice to
the other
at least six months prior to the expiration of the then
current Term,
may terminate this Agreement effective at the expiration of
such Term.
(ii) Lone Star, by written notice which sets forth the
effective date
of termination (which shall not be earlier than six (6)
months after
receipt of the written notice), may terminate this Agreement
at any
time for reasons (including without limitation disability of
the
Executive) other than Cause (as hereinafter defined).
               (b)  In the event that this Agreement is
terminated by
the Executive pursuant to Section 4 below or Lone Star
terminates this
Agreement pursuant to Section 3(a) above, Executive shall be
entitled
to a severance payment in an amount equal to the greater of
Executive's Salary for the period from the effective date of
the
termination through the later of (i) the expiration of the
Initial
Term or (ii) the date one year (18 months, in the case of a
termination pursuant to Section 4) after the effective date
of the
termination (such period, the "Severance Period").
Severance shall
be paid in lump sum on the effective date of the
termination.  In
addition, the Executive shall continue to receive medical
insurance
and other benefits provided pursuant to Sections 5 and 6
hereof during
the Severance Period.  In furtherance and not in limitation
of the
immediately preceding sentence, the Executive shall be
deemed to have
continued his employment at his Salary during the Severance
Period for
purposes of vesting, eligibility and benefit accrual under
any
applicable employee benefit plan (subject, in the case of
the
Company's 401K savings plan and pension plan for salaried
employees,
to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended).
Severance pay pursuant to this Section shall be in lieu of
severance
pay pursuant to any Lone Star policy, except severance in
respect of
service as a director.
               (c)  Lone Star shall have the right to
terminate this
Agreement for Cause during the Initial Term and thereafter
and
Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance pay
pursuant to
this Section or any other policy or agreement of Lone Star
except
severance in respect of service as a director.  Cause shall
be
construed to mean:
                         (1)  The willful and continued
failure by the
Executive to substantially perform his duties with Lone Star
(other
than any such failure resulting from his disability due to
physical
or mental illness) after a written demand for performance is
delivered
which specifically identifies the manner in which he has not
substantially performed his duties, or
                         (2)  the willful engaging by
Executive in
gross misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to
the Company,
monetarily or otherwise, or
                         (3)  conviction of fraud, theft of
embezzlement.
               For purposes of this Section, no act, or
failure to
act, shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted
to be done,
not in good faith or without reasonable belief that the
action or
omission was in the best interest of the Company.
               The written demand in Section (c)(1) shall be
delivered
to the Executive by the Board of Directors and shall set
forth a
reasonable period (not shorter than 30 business days) in
which
Executive is expected to comply with said demand.  If
Executive does
not comply thereafter, Lone Star shall have the right to
terminate
this Agreement upon seven (7) days' written notice to
Executive.
          4.   (a)  Lone Star hereby agrees not to: (i)
change the
Executive's duties so that a reasonable man would interpret
the change
to be a demotion; or (ii) direct the Executive to  relocate
his office
to a new location which is either in a State other than
Connecticut
or more than twenty-five (25) miles from Stamford,
Connecticut
(excluding any relocation occurring prior to a Change of
Control, as
defined below, of the Executive's office (A) as a result of
a
relocation of Lone Star's operations presently located in
Stamford,
Connecticut, and (B) applicable to substantially all
officers of Lone
Star).  In the event Lone Star breaches its obligations in
the
immediately preceding sentence, Executive, at his option
(and without
limiting his remedies), can (if such demotion or direction
to relocate
is not rescinded or corrected by the Company within 30 days
after
written notice by Executive to the Company, reasonably
identifying,
in the case of a demotion, the change in duties complained
of) declare
himself terminated for "Good Reason" by giving written
notice to Lone
Star, and Lone Star shall pay Executive severance pay and
benefits as
provided in Section 3(b) of this Agreement.  In no event
shall
Executive be required to perform duties or to suffer
relocation
prohibited by this Section 4.
               (b)  In the event of the Executive's physical
or mental
incapacity, the Executive may declare himself terminated for
"Incapacity" by giving written notice to Lone Star, and Lone
Star
shall pay Executive severance pay and benefits as provided
in Section
3(b) of this Agreement.  "Physical or mental incapacity"
shall mean
the inability of Executive by reason of a physical or mental
illness
to perform his duties hereunder for a period of 90
consecutive days
or a total of 120 days in any twelve month period and such
incapacity
is determined by a physician selected by Executive (or his
legal
representatives) and reasonably acceptable to the Company to
be such
as prevents Executive from performing adequately his normal
duties to
the Company.  During any period that the Executive is unable
to
perform his duties by reason of physical or mental
incapacity,
Executive shall continue to receive his full compensation
and benefits
hereunder.
          5.   Executive shall participate in Lone Star's
employee
benefit programs and plans in the same manner as other
executive
salaried employees of Lone Star and in accordance with the
terms
thereof.  Benefit programs and plans include, but are not
limited to,
life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment
insurance,
hospital, medical, surgical and major medical insurance,
dental
insurance, short and long-term disability insurance, 401K
savings plan
and pension plan for salaried employees and directors' and
officers'
liability insurance ("Employee Benefit Plans").  Executive
shall also
participate in Lone Star's vacation and holiday programs.
In addition
to and not in limitation of the foregoing, and
notwithstanding the
Company's policy with respect to other employees, the
Company shall,
during their lives and whether or not the Executive's
employment or
this Agreement terminates (for Cause or otherwise), provide
the
Executive with life and medical insurance and the
Executive's spouse
with medical insurance at no cost to the Executive or his
spouse at
least equal to the life and medical insurance provided to
senior
executive officers of the Company; provided however, the
medical
benefits provided to the Executive and his spouse shall be
at least
equal to the medical benefits described in Exhibit A;
provided
further, the annual deductible for medical coverage
described in
Exhibit A is $750 for each individual.  The Executive and
his spouse
are each entitled to receive monthly reimbursement of
Medicare Part
B premiums.  This paragraph shall survive any termination of
this
Agreement.
          6.   To the extent Executive voluntarily
terminates his
employment at the end of any Term, he shall be entitled to
participate
in Lone Star's employee benefit plans to the full extent
that they may
be provided to other retirees (and spouses, if applicable)
including
but not limited to the Pension Plan for Salaried Employees,
in the
same manner as other salaried retirees of Lone Star and in
accordance
with the terms thereof.
          7.   Following a Change of Control, as defined
below, the
Executive, on thirty days written notice (which notice must
be
delivered within twelve months after the Company gives the
Executive
notice of the Change of Control or the Executive has actual
knowledge
of such Change of Control), may terminate his employment
with the
Company.  Upon any such termination, the Executive shall be
entitled
to severance pay in an amount equal to two years' Salary.
Severance
hereunder shall be paid in lump sum on the effective date of
the
termination.  In addition, the Executive shall be deemed to
have
continued his employment at his Salary for a period of two
years
following his termination for purposes of vesting,
eligibility and
accrual of benefits under any applicable employee benefit
plan
(subject, in the case of the Company's 401K savings plan and
pension
plan for salaried employees, to the requirements of the
Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).  Severance pay pursuant
to this
Section shall be in lieu of severance pay pursuant to any
Lone Star
policy or other agreement (other than severance in respect
of service
as a director) and all other obligations of the Company for
severance
pay under this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement a
"Change
of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
occurrence of
any of the following events:
          (i)  Any acquisition by any individual, entity or
group
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the
Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) (a Person ) of
beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
under the
Exchange Act) of shares of common stock of the Company (the
"Common
Stock") and/or other voting securities of the Company
entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors ("Outstanding Company
Voting
Securities") after which acquisition such individual, entity
or group
is the beneficial owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of
either (1)
the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or (2) the
Outstanding
Company Voting Securities; excluding, however, the
following:  (1) any
acquisition by the Company, (2) any acquisition by an
employee benefit
plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the
Company or (3)
any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a
reorganization,
merger, consolidation or similar corporate transaction (in
each case,
a Corporate Transaction), if, pursuant to such Corporate
Transaction, the conditions described in clauses (1), (2)
and (3) of
paragraph (iii) of this Section 6 are satisfied; or
          (ii)  A change in the composition of the Board of
Directors
of the Company such that the individuals who, as of the date
hereof,
comprise a class of directors of the Board (the members of
each class
of directors of the Board as of the date hereof shall be
hereinafter
referred to as an Incumbent Class and the members of all of
the
Incumbent Classes shall be hereinafter collectively referred
to as the
"Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at
least a
majority of the class; provided, however, for purposes of
this
subsection that any individual who becomes a member of an
Incumbent
Class subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or
nomination for
election by the Company's stockholders, was approved in
advance or
contemporaneously with such election by a vote of at least a
majority
of those individuals who are members of the Incumbent Board
and a
majority of those individuals who are members of such
Incumbent Class
(or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso) shall be
considered
as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent
Class; but,
provided further, that any such individual whose initial
assumption
of office occurs as a result of either an actual or
threatened
election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of
Regulation
14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or
threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a
Person other
than the Board of Directors of the Company or actual or
threatened
tender offer for shares of the Company or similar
transaction or other
contest for corporate control (other than a tender offer by
the
Company) shall not be so considered as a member of the
Incumbent
Class; or
          (iii)  The approval by the stockholders of the
Company of
a Corporate Transaction or, if consummation of such
Corporate
Transaction is subject, at the time of such approval by
stockholders,
to the consent of any government or governmental agency, the
obtaining
of such consent (either explicitly or implicitly);
excluding, however,
such a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which (1) all or
substantially all of the individuals and entities who are
the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the outstanding shares
of Common
Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately
prior to
such Corporate Transaction will beneficially own, directly
or
indirectly, more than eighty percent (80%) of, respectively,
the
outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation
resulting from
such Corporate Transaction and the combined voting power of
the
outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled
to vote
generally in the election of directors, (2) no Person (other
than the
Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the
Company
or the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction
and any
Person beneficially owning, immediately prior to such
Corporate
Transaction, directly or indirectly, twenty percent (20%) or
more of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock or Outstanding
Company Voting
Securities, as the case may be) will beneficially own,
directly or
indirectly, twenty percent (20%) or more of, respectively,
the
outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation
resulting from
such Corporate Transaction or the combined voting power of
the then
outstanding securities of such corporation entitled to vote
generally
in the election of directors and (3) individuals who were
members of
the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of
the members
of board of directors of the corporation resulting from such
Corporate
Transaction; or
          (iv)  The approval of the stockholders of the
Company of (1)
a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (2)
the sale
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the
Company; excluding, however, such a sale or other
disposition to a
corporation, with respect to which following such sale or
other
disposition, (A) more than eighty percent (80%) of,
respectively, the
then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation
and the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities of
such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election
of
directors will be then beneficially owned, directly or
indirectly, by
all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who
were the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the outstanding shares
of Common
Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately
prior to
such sale or other disposition, (B) no Person (other than
the Company
and any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the
Company or
such corporation and any Person beneficially owning,
immediately prior
to such sale or other disposition, directly or indirectly,
twenty
percent (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock or
Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be)
will
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, twenty percent
(20%) or more
of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common
stock of such
corporation and the combined voting power of the then
outstanding
voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote
generally in
the election of directors and (C) individuals who were
members of the
Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the
members of
the board of directors of such corporation.
          In the event of any conflict between this Section
7 and any
other Section of this Agreement (other than Section 5), the
terms of
this Section 7 shall control, so that, without limitation,
the
Executive shall be entitled to the payment and benefits
provided under
this Section 7 notwithstanding any purported termination
(whether for
Cause or otherwise) by the Company.
          8.   Upon presentation to Lone Star of appropriate
documentation, Executive will be entitled to reimbursement
within
guidelines established by Lone Star for all reasonable and
necessary
business expenses incurred by him for entertainment, travel
and
similar items and for costs for operating from the
Executive's
Greenwich, Connecticut office.  However, the Executive shall
be
personally responsible for rental payments such office as
long as he
decides, in his discretion, to maintain such office.
          9.   Executive agrees that during his period of
employment
by Lone Star and thereafter he shall hold in confidence and
not
disclose to any unauthorized person any knowledge or
information
acquired and possessed by him of a confidential nature or
any trade
secret with respect to the business of Lone Star, and not to
disclose,
publish or make use of the same without the prior express
consent of
Lone Star.  Executive shall be free to disclose such
information,
knowledge or trade secret in the ordinary course of his
carrying out
his duties as an officer of Lone Star, and shall be free to
disclose
such information, knowledge or trade secret during his
period of
employment by Lone Star and thereafter if such matters
become public
or if compelled by legal process.
          10.  Executive agrees that during the term of his
employment, he will not without the consent of Lone Star, in
any
manner, directly or indirectly, own, manage, be employed by,
operate,
join, control, participate in, be connected with, engage in,
or become
interested in any business competitive with, the business
then carried
on by Lone Star in those parts of the world where Lone Star
does
business.  Ownership of publicly traded securities of a
business of
the same or similar nature to, or competitive with, that
carried on
by Lone Star, shall not violate this paragraph, provided the
Executive
does not acquire more than 5% of the voting stock of any
such
corporation.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement,
the Executive shall not be required to use his full time
efforts
hereunder and may take on outside business commitments
provided they
do not unreasonably impair his ability or capacity to serve
as the
Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Company.
          11.  (a)  Any dispute relating to this Agreement
arising
between the Executive and the Company (or any successor or
assign)
shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the
commercial
arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association
("AAA").
The arbitration proceedings, including the rendering of an
award,
shall take place in Stamford, Connecticut (or such other
location
mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Executive), and
shall be
administered by the AAA.
               (b)  The arbitral tribunal shall be appointed
within
30 days of the notice of dispute, and shall consist of three
arbitrators, one of which shall be appointed by the Company,
one by
the Executive, and the third by both the Company and the
Executive
jointly; provided, however, that, if the Company and the
Executive do
not select the third arbitrator within such 30-day period,
such third
arbitrator shall be chosen by the AAA as soon as practicable
following
notice to the AAA by the parties of their inability to
choose such
third arbitrator.
               (c)  Decisions of such arbitral tribunal
shall be in
accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut
(excluding the
conflicts of law rules which require the application of any
other
law).  The award of any such arbitral tribunal shall be
final (except
as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of
Connecticut and the
Federal laws of the United States, to the extent
applicable).
Judgment upon such award may be entered by the prevailing
party in any
state or Federal court sitting in Connecticut or any other
court
having jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made by
such party
to any such court for judicial acceptance of such award and
an order
of enforcement.
               (d)  The Company shall reimburse the
Executive for all
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in connection
with any
proceeding (whether or not in arbitration) to obtain or
enforce any
right or benefit under this Agreement in which the Executive
is the
prevailing party.
               Any amounts not paid by the Company under
this
Agreement within five business days after the date they are
due shall
be paid with interest from their due date at the rate
announced from
time to time by Citibank, N.A. as its prime or similar rate
plus 3%.
          12.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between
the parties and may not be changed or modified except by an
agreement
in writing signed by Lone Star and the Executive.  This
Agreement
supersedes the employment agreement between the Executive
and Lone
Star, dated December 12, 1990.
          13.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut.
          14.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the
benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns,
including any
purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company and
the surviving entity of any merger or consolidation to which
the
Company is a party and the Executive and his heirs,
executors,
administrators and legal representatives.
          15.  Except as provided herein, this Agreement
cannot be
assigned by Lone Star or Executive without prior written
consent.

          16.  All notices, communications, etc., shall be

OPTION AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO
THE LONE STAR INDUSTRIES, INC.
MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTION PLAN


          AGREEMENT, dated as of June 8, 1994 by and between
Lone Star
Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and David W. Wallace (the
"Participant").

                             Preliminary Statement

          The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the
Board of
Directors (the "Board") of the Company (the "Committee"),
pursuant to
the Company's Management Stock Option Plan, annexed hereto
as Exhibit
A (the "Plan"), granted on June 8, 1994 to the Participant,
as an
Employee (as defined in the Plan), stock options (the
"Options") to
purchase the number of shares of the Company's common stock,
par value
$1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), set forth below.  This
Agreement
sets forth the terms of the Options.

          Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1.   Grant of Options.  Subject in all respects to
the Plan
and the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein,
the
Participant is hereby granted 125,000 Options to purchase
from the
Company up to 125,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price per
share of
$15.375 (the "Option Price").

          2.   Tax Matters.  6,504 Options to acquire 6,504
shares of
Common Stock granted hereby are intended to qualify as and
are hereby
designated as "Incentive Stock Options" under Section 422 of
the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
118,496
Options to acquire 118,496 shares of Common Stock are
intended to
qualify as and are hereby designated as "Non-Qualified Stock
Options"
within the meaning of Section 1.83-7 of the Income Tax
Regulations
promulgated under the Code.

          3.   Vesting.  The Options are exercisable
immediately, in
whole or in part, prior to the expiration of the Options as
provided
herein.

          4.   Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised
in whole
or in part at any time during the Option term, by giving
written
notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of
shares to
be purchased and whether such exercise is of Incentive Stock
Options
or of Non-Qualified Stock Options, or what combination of
Incentive
Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options are being
exercised.
Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the
Option
Price (i) in cash, by certified check or money order, or
(ii) in the
form of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant (and
for which
the Participant has good title free and clear of any liens
and
encumbrances) based on the Fair Market Value of the shares
on the date
of exercise as determined by the Committee or (iii) in such
other
form, or pursuant to such other arrangement for the
satisfaction of
the Option Price, as the Committee may accept.  For purposes
of this
Agreement, "Fair Market Value" shall mean the average of the
high and
low prices of a share of Common Stock in New York Stock
Exchange
composite market transactions, as reported by the Wall
Street Journal,
or if the Common Stock shall not have been reported on such
date, on
the first day prior thereto on which the Common Stock was
reported.
No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until payment, as
provided
herein, therefor has been made or provided for.

          5.   Restriction on Transfer of Options.  Except
as
otherwise provided herein, the Options granted hereby are
not
transferable otherwise than by will or under the applicable
laws of
descent and distribution.  Non-Qualified Stock Options may
be
transferred (i) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order as
defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income
Security Act, or the rules thereunder or (ii) to the
Participant's
immediate family (i.e., the Employee's children,
grandchildren and
spouse), or to one or more trusts for the benefit of such
immediate
family members, or partnerships in which such family members
are the
only partners, provided that such transfer shall be
permitted only if
the Participant does not receive any consideration for such
transfer
and written notice of such proposed transfer and the details
thereof
shall have been furnished to the Committee (any Options
transferred
pursuant to this clause shall continue to be subject to the
same terms
and conditions that were applicable to such Options
immediately prior
to the transfer and a holder thereof shall be treated as a
Participant
hereunder).  During the lifetime of the Participant, Options
may be
exercised only by the Participant or the Participant's
guardian or
legal representative.  In addition, except to the extent
permitted by
this Agreement, the Options shall not be assigned,
negotiated, pledged
or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or
otherwise),
and the Options shall not be subject to execution,
attachment or
similar process.  Except to the extent permitted by this
Agreement,
upon any attempt to transfer, assign, negotiate, pledge or
hypothecate
the Options, or in the event of any levy upon the Options by
reason
of any execution, attachment or similar process contrary to
the
provisions hereof, the Options shall immediately become null
and void.

          6.   Termination of Employment.

               A.   Termination by Reason of Death or
Disability.  If
a Participant's Termination of Employment (as hereinafter
defined) is
by reason of death or Disability (as defined in the Plan),
any Options
held by such Participant may be exercised, to the extent
exercisable
at the Participant's termination, by the Participant (or the
legal
representative of the Participant's estate) at any time
within a
period of one (1) year from the date of such termination or
until the
expiration of the stated term of the Option, whichever
period is the
shorter.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Termination of
Employment"
means (1) a termination of service for reasons other than a
military
or personal leave of absence granted by the Company or a
transfer of
the Participant from or among the Company and its
subsidiaries, as
defined under Section 424(f) of the Code; or (2) when a
subsidiary,
with respect to which is employing a Participant, ceases to
be a
subsidiary, as defined under Section 424(f) of the Code.

               B.   Termination for Cause.  Upon the
Termination of
Employment of the Participant for Cause, or if the Company
obtains or
discovers information after Termination of Employment that
such
Participant had engaged in conduct that would have justified
a
Termination of Employment for Cause during employment, all
outstanding
Options of the Participant shall immediately be
canceled,provided,
however, that the provisions of this Section 6(B) shall
cease to apply
to any Options that are outstanding at the time of a Change
of Control
(as hereinafter defined).  For purposes of this Agreement,
"Change of
Control" means the occurrence of any of the following
events:

          (i)       Any acquisition by any individual,
entity or group
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the
Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) (a Person) of
beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
under the
Exchange Act) of shares of Common Stock and/or Outstanding
Company
Voting Securities (as defined below) after which acquisition
such
individual, entity or group is the beneficial owner of
twenty percent
(20%) or more of either (1) the then outstanding shares of
Common
Stock or (2) the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting
securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
election
of directors (the Outstanding Company Voting Securities);
excluding,
however, the following:  (1) any acquisition by the Company,
(2) any
acquisition by an employee benefit plan (or related trust)
sponsored
or maintained by the Company or (3) any acquisition by any
corporation
pursuant to a reorganization, merger, consolidation or
similar
corporate transaction (in each case, a Corporate
Transaction), if,
pursuant to such Corporate Transaction, the conditions
described in
clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (iii) of this Section
6 are
satisfied; or

          (ii)      A change in the composition of the Board
such that
the individuals who, as of July 1, 1994, comprise a class of
directors
of the Board (the members of each class of directors of the
Board as
of July 1, 1994 shall be hereinafter referred to as an
Incumbent
Class and the members of all of the Incumbent Classes shall
be
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Incumbent
Board") cease
for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the
class;
provided, however, for purposes of this subsection that any
individual
who becomes a member of an Incumbent Class subsequent to
July 1, 1994
whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's
stockholders, was approved in advance or contemporaneously
with such
election by a vote of at least a majority of those
individuals who are
members of the Incumbent Board and a majority of those
individuals who
are members of such Incumbent Class (or deemed to be such
pursuant to
this proviso) shall be considered as though such individual
were a
member of the Incumbent Class; but, provided further, that
any such
individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a
result of
either an actual or threatened election contest (as such
terms are
used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
Exchange
Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies
or consents
by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board or actual
or
threatened tender offer for shares of the Company or similar
transaction or other contest for corporate control  (other
than a
tender offer by the Company) shall not be so considered as a
member
of the Incumbent Class; or

          (iii)          The approval by the stockholders of
the
Company of a Corporate Transaction or, if consummation of
such
Corporate Transaction is subject, at the time of such
approval by
stockholders, to the consent of any government or
governmental agency,
the obtaining of such consent (either explicitly or
implicitly);
excluding, however, such a Corporate Transaction pursuant to
which (1)
all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who
are the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the outstanding shares
of Common
Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately
prior to
such Corporate Transaction will beneficially own, directly
or
indirectly, more than eighty percent (80%) of, respectively,
the
outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation
resulting from
such Corporate Transaction and the combined voting power of
the
outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled
to vote
generally in the election of directors, (2) no Person (other
than the
Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the
Company
or the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction
and any
Person beneficially owning, immediately prior to such
Corporate
Transaction, directly or indirectly, twenty percent (20%) or
more of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock or Outstanding
Company Voting
Securities, as the case may be) will beneficially own,
directly or
indirectly, twenty percent (20%) or more of, respectively,
the
outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation
resulting from
such Corporate Transaction or the combined voting power of
the then
outstanding securities of such corporation entitled to vote
generally
in the election of directors and (3) individuals who were
members of
the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of
the members
of board of directors of the corporation resulting from such
Corporate
Transaction; or

          (iv)      The approval of the stockholders of the
Company
of (1) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company
or (2) the
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets

to a corporation, with respect to which following such sale
or other
disposition, (A) more than eighty percent (80%) of,
respectively, the
then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation
and the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities of
such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election
of
directors will be then beneficially owned, directly or
indirectly, by
all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who
were the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the outstanding shares
of Common
Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately
prior to
such sale or other disposition, (B) no Person (other than
the Company
and any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the

such corporation and any Person beneficially owning,
immediately prior
to such sale or other disposition, directly or indirectly,
twenty
percent (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common

Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be)
will
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, twenty percent
(20%) or more
of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common
stock of such
corporation and the combined voting power of the then
outstanding
voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote

the election of directors and (C) individuals who were
members of the
Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the
members of

For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means that the
Committee shall
have determined that any of the following events has
occurred: (x) The
willful and continued failure by the Participant to
substantially
perform his duties with the Company (other than any such
failure
resulting from his disability due to physical or mental
illness) after
a written demand for performance is delivered which
specifically
identifies the manner in which he has not substantially
performed his
duties, or (y) the willful engaging by the Participant in
gross
misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to the
Company,
monetarily or otherwise or (z)  conviction of fraud, theft
of
embezzlement.  For purposes of this Section, no act, or
failure to
act, shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted
to be done,
not in good faith or without reasonable belief that the
action or
omission was in the best interest of the Company.  The
written demand
in clause (x) of this Section 6 shall be delivered to the
Participant
by the Board and shall set forth a reasonable period (not
shorter than
30 business days) in which Participant is expected to comply
with said
demand.  If the Participant does not comply thereafter, the
Committee
shall have the right to determine that Cause exists.

               C.   Other Termination.  If the Participant's
Termination of Employment is for any reason other than
death,
Disability, or Cause, any Options held by the Participant
may be
exercised, to the extent exercisable at the Participant's
termination,
by the Participant at any time within a period of 3 months
from the
date of such termination or until the expiration of the
stated term
of such Option, whichever period is shorter.

          7.   Termination.  Unless terminated as provided
below or
otherwise pursuant to the Plan, each Incentive Stock Option
shall
expire on the tenth anniversary of this Agreement, and each
Non-Qualified Stock Option shall expire on the tenth
anniversary of
the day after the date of this Agreement.

          8.   Rights as a Stockholder.  The Participant
shall have
no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of
Common Stock
covered by the Options until the Participant shall have
become the
holder of record of the shares of Common Stock, and no
adjustments
shall be made for dividends in cash or other property,
distributions
or other rights in respect of any such shares of Common
Stock, except
as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan.

          9.   Provisions of Plan Control.  This Agreement
is subject
to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan,
including,
without limitation, the amendment provisions thereof, and to
such
rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan
as may be
adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from time
to time.
Any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have
the
meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.  The annexed copy
of the
Plan is incorporated herein by reference.  If and to the
extent that
this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms,
conditions
and provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall control, and this
Agreement
shall be deemed to be modified accordingly.

          10.  Withholding of Taxes.  The Company shall have
the right
to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares
of Common
Stock, payment by the Participant of any Federal, state or
local taxes
required by law to be withheld.

          The Committee may permit any such withholding
obligation to
be satisfied by reducing the number of shares of Common
Stock
otherwise deliverable or by permitting the Participant to
deliver
shares of Common Stock which the Participant owns (free and
clear of
any liens and encumbrances).  If the Participant is required
to file
reports under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934
(the "Exchange Act") with respect to securities of the
Company the
Participant may elect to have a sufficient number of shares
of Common
Stock withheld or to deliver shares of Common Stock which
the
Participant owns to fulfill such tax obligations
(hereinafter a
Withholding Election) only if the election complies with
such
conditions as are necessary to prevent the withholding or
transfer of
such shares from being subject to Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act.
To the extent necessary under then current law, such
conditions shall
include the following: (x) the Withholding Election shall be
subject
to the disapproval of the Committee and (y) the Withholding
Election
is made (i) during the period beginning on the third
business day
following the date of release for publication of the
quarterly or
annual summary statements of sales and earnings of the
Company and
ending on the twelfth business day following such date or is
made in
advance but takes effect during such period, (ii) at least
six (6)
months prior to the date of exercise of the Option, or (iii)
during
any other period in which a Withholding Election may be made
under the
provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to the
Exchange Act.
Any fraction of a share of Common Stock required to satisfy
such tax
obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be
paid
instead in cash by the Participant.

          11.  Listing and Other Conditions.

          As long as the Common Stock is listed on a
national
securities exchange or system sponsored by a national
securities
association, the issue of any shares of Common Stock
pursuant to an
Option shall be conditioned upon such shares being listed on
such
exchange or system.  The Company shall have no obligation to
issue
such shares unless and until such shares are so listed, and
the right
to exercise any Option with respect to such shares shall be
suspended
until such listing has been effected.

          If at any time counsel to the Company shall be of
the
opinion that any sale or delivery of shares of Common Stock
pursuant
to an Option is or may in the circumstances be unlawful or
result in
the imposition of excise taxes under the statutes, rules or
regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company
shall have no
obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any
application
or to effect or to maintain any qualification or
registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or otherwise with
respect to
shares of Common Stock, and the right to exercise any Option
shall be
suspended until, in the opinion of said counsel, such sale
or delivery
shall be lawful or will not result in the imposition of
excise taxes.

          Upon termination of any period of suspension under
this
Section 11, any Option affected by such suspension which
shall not
then have expired or terminated shall be reinstated as to
all shares
available before such suspension and as to shares which
would
otherwise have become available during the period of such
suspension,
but no such suspension shall extend the term of any Option.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained
herein, no
shares of Common Stock shall be delivered by the Company to
the
Participant pursuant to this Agreement until a Form S-8
registration
statement (or any successor form) shall have become
effective and
shall be current with respect to the shares being sold and
delivered
hereunder.


          12.  Notices.  Any notice or communication given
hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given when
delivered in person, or by United States mail, to the
appropriate
party at the address set forth below (or such other address
as the
party shall from time to time specify):

          13.  No Obligation to Continue Employment.  This
Agreement
does not guarantee that the Company or any of its
subsidiaries will
employ the Participant for any specific time period, nor
does it
modify in any respect the Company's or a subsidiary's right
to
terminate or modify the Participant's employment or
compensation.

Agreement
on the date and year first above written.

                      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
          This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") made as of
the 1st
day of July, 1994 between William M. Troutman ("Executive")
and Lone
Star Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having its
principal
office at 300 First Stamford Place, Stamford, Connecticut
("Lone Star"
or the "Company").
                           WITNESSETH:
          In consideration of the mutual promises,
agreements and
covenants hereby made, the mutual benefits to be derived
from this
Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto
agree and understand as follows:
          1.   Lone Star hereby employs Executive, and
Executive
hereby accepts employment by Lone Star, on the terms and
conditions
set forth in this Agreement for an initial term of twenty-
four (24)
consecutive months commencing as of the date hereof (the
"Initial
Term"), as President and Chief Operating Officer, with such
duties as
are specified in the By-Laws of Lone Star and such other
duties
customary to the position as may be assigned to Executive
from time
to time by the Board of Directors of Lone Star or its
Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer.  Unless terminated pursuant to the
other
terms hereof, this Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect
after the Initial Term for successive two-year terms (each
such term,
and the Initial Term, a "Term").
          2.   Lone Star shall pay Executive a salary
("Salary") at
the rate of $275,000 per annum until the effective date of
termination
of this Agreement.  Salary shall continue to be paid to
Executive on
the currently established pay periods of Lone Star.  The
Compensation
and Stock Option Committee (or such other Board committee as
shall
then be responsible for making such decisions or, if none,
the full
Board of Directors) may in its discretion consider increases
in the
Executive's Salary from time to time, and upon any such
increase
"Salary" for purposes hereof shall thereafter mean the
Executive's
salary as so increased, notwithstanding any purported
subsequent
reduction thereof by any such committee or the Board.  In
addition,
the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (or such other
Board
committee as shall then be responsible for making such
decisions, or
if none, the full Board of Directors) may in its discretion
consider
granting to the Executive from time to time such bonuses,
stock
options or other incentive compensation as it deems
appropriate.
          3.   (a)  (i)  Either party, by written notice to
the other
at least six months prior to the expiration of the then
current Term,
may terminate this Agreement effective at the expiration of
such Term.
(ii) Lone Star, by written notice which sets forth the
effective date
of termination (which shall not be earlier than six (6)
months after
receipt of the written notice), may terminate this Agreement
at any
time for reasons (including without limitation disability of
the
Executive) other than Cause (as hereinafter defined).
               (b)  In the event that this Agreement is
terminated by
the Executive pursuant to Section 4 below or Lone Star
terminates this
Agreement pursuant to Section 3(a) above, Executive shall be
entitled
to a severance payment in an amount equal to the greater of
Executive's Salary for the period from the effective date of
the
termination through the later of (i) the expiration of the
Initial
Term or (ii) the date one year (18 months, in the case of a
termination pursuant to Section 4) after the effective date
of the
termination (the "Severance Period"); provided, however, the
severance
payment shall be reduced in the case of the Executive's
disability,
on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by any disability pay the
Executive
receives pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement during the
Severance
Period.  Severance shall be paid in lump sum on the
effective date of
the termination.  In addition, the Executive shall be deemed
to have
continued his employment at his Salary during the Severance
Period for
purposes of vesting, eligibility and benefit accrual under
any
applicable employee benefit plan (subject, in the case of
the
Company's 401K savings plan and pension plan for salaried
employees,
to the requirement of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended).
Severance pay pursuant to this Section shall be in lieu of
severance
pay pursuant to any Lone Star severance policy (except that
the
supplemental retirement benefit and all other provisions of
the
Supplemental Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect).
               (c)  Lone Star shall have the right to
terminate this
Agreement for Cause during the Initial Term and thereafter
and
Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance pay
pursuant to
this Section or any other policy or agreement of Lone Star
except the
Supplemental Agreement.  Cause shall be construed to mean:
                         (1)  The willful and continued
failure by the
Executive to substantially perform his duties with Lone Star
(other
than any such failure resulting from his disability due to
physical
or mental illness) after a written demand for performance is
delivered
which specifically identifies the manner in which he has not
substantially performed his duties, or
                         (2)  the willful engaging by
Executive in
gross misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to
the Company,
monetarily or otherwise, or
                         (3)  conviction of fraud, theft of
embezzlement.
               For purposes of this Section, no act, or
failure to
act, shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted
to be done,
not in good faith or without reasonable belief that the
action or
omission was in the best interest of the Company.
               The written demand in Section (c)(1) shall be
delivered
to the Executive by the Board of Directors or Lone Star's
Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer and shall set forth a reasonable
period (not
shorter than 30 business days) in which Executive is
expected to
comply with said demand.  If Executive does not comply
thereafter,
Lone Star shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
upon seven
(7) days' written notice to Executive.
          4.   Lone Star hereby agrees not to: (i) change
the
Executive's duties so that a reasonable man would interpret
the change
to be a demotion; or (ii) direct the Executive to  relocate
his office
to a new location which is either in a State other than
Connecticut
or more than twenty-five (25) miles from Stamford,
Connecticut
(excluding any relocation occurring prior to a Change of
Control, as
defined below, of the Executive's office (A) as a result of
a
relocation of Lone Star's operations presently located in
Stamford,
Connecticut and (B) applicable to substantially all officers
of Lone
Star).  In the event Lone Star breaches its obligations in
the
immediately preceding sentence, Executive, at his option
(and without
limiting his remedies), can (if such demotion or direction
to relocate
is not rescinded or corrected by the Company within 30 days
after
written notice by Executive to the Company, reasonably
identifying,
in the case of a demotion, the change in duties complained
of) declare
himself terminated for "Good Reason" by giving written
notice to Lone
Star, and Lone Star shall pay Executive severance pay and
benefits as
provided in Section 3(b) of this Agreement.  In no event
shall
Executive be required to perform duties or to suffer
relocation
prohibited by this Section 4.
          5.   Executive shall participate in Lone Star's
401K savings
plan and vacation and holiday programs and other benefits in
the same
manner as other executive salaried employees of Lone Star
and in
accordance with the terms thereof.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing,
nothing contained in this Agreement (including without
limitation
Section 12 below) shall affect the force and effect of the
Agreement,
dated April 15, 1994, between the Company and the Executive
relating
to certain supplemental retirement, medical insurance,
disability and
other benefits and rights, a copy of which is attached
hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Supplemental Agreement").
          6.   Following a Change of Control, as defined
below, the
Executive, on thirty days written notice (which notice must
be
delivered within twelve months after the Company gives the
Executive
notice of the Change of Control or the Executive has actual
knowledge
of such Change of Control), may terminate his employment
with the
Company.  Upon any such termination, the Executive shall be
entitled
to severance pay in an amount equal to two years' Salary.
Severance
hereunder shall be paid in lump sum on the effective date of
the
termination.  In addition, the Executive shall be deemed to
have
continued his employment at his Salary for a period of two
years
following his termination for purposes of vesting,
eligibility and
benefit accrual under any applicable employee benefit plan
(subject
in the case of the Company's 401K savings plan and pension
plan for
salaried employees, to the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended).  Severance pay pursuant to this
Section shall
be in lieu of severance pay pursuant to any Lone Star policy
or other
agreement (except that the supplemental retirement benefit
and all
other provisions of the Supplemental Agreement shall remain
in full
force and effect) and all other obligations of the Company
for
severance pay under this Agreement.  For purposes of this
Agreement
a "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred upon
the
occurrence of any of the following events:
          (i)  Any acquisition by any individual, entity or
group
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the
Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) (a Person) of
beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
under the
Exchange Act) of shares of common stock of the Company (the
"Common
Stock") and/or other voting securities of the Company
entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors ("Outstanding Company
Voting
Securities") after which acquisition such individual, entity
or group
is the beneficial owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of
either (1)
the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or (2) the
Outstanding
Company Voting Securities; excluding, however, the
following:  (1) any
acquisition by the Company, (2) any acquisition by an
employee benefit
plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the
Company or (3)
any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a
reorganization,
merger, consolidation or similar corporate transaction (in
each case,
a Corporate Transaction), if, pursuant to such Corporate
Transaction, the conditions described in clauses (1), (2)
and (3) of
paragraph (iii) of this Section 6 are satisfied; or
          (ii)  A change in the composition of the Board of
Directors
of the Company such that the individuals who, as of the date
hereof,
comprise a class of directors of the Board (the members of
each class
of directors of the Board as of the date hereof shall be
hereinafter
referred to as an Incumbent Class and the members of all of
the
Incumbent Classes shall be hereinafter collectively referred
to as the
"Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at
least a
majority of the class; provided, however, for purposes of
this
subsection that any individual who becomes a member of an
Incumbent
Class subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or
nomination for
election by the Company's stockholders, was approved in
advance or
contemporaneously with such election by a vote of at least a
majority
of those individuals who are members of the Incumbent Board
and a
majority of those individuals who are members of such
Incumbent Class
(or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso) shall be
considered
as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent
Class; but,
provided further, that any such individual whose initial
assumption
of office occurs as a result of either an actual or
threatened
election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of
Regulation
14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or
threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a
Person other
than the Board of Directors of the Company or actual or
threatened
tender offer for shares of the Company or similar
transaction or other
contest for corporate control (other than a tender offer by
the
Company) shall not be so considered as a member of the
Incumbent
Class; or
          (iii)  The approval by the stockholders of the
Company of
a Corporate Transaction or, if consummation of such
Corporate
Transaction is subject, at the time of such approval by
stockholders,
to the consent of any government or governmental agency, the
obtaining
of such consent (either explicitly or implicitly);
excluding, however,
such a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which (1) all or
substantially all of the individuals and entities who are
the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the outstanding shares
of Common
Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately
prior to
such Corporate Transaction will beneficially own, directly
or
indirectly, more than eighty percent (80%) of, respectively,
the
outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation
resulting from
such Corporate Transaction and the combined voting power of
the
outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled
to vote
generally in the election of directors, (2) no Person (other
than the
Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the
Company
or the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction
and any
Person beneficially owning, immediately prior to such
Corporate
Transaction, directly or indirectly, twenty percent (20%) or
more of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock or Outstanding
Company Voting
Securities, as the case may be) will beneficially own,
directly or
indirectly, twenty percent (20%) or more of, respectively,
the
outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation
resulting from
such Corporate Transaction or the combined voting power of
the then
outstanding securities of such corporation entitled to vote
generally
in the election of directors and (3) individuals who were
members of
the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of
the members
of board of directors of the corporation resulting from such
Corporate
Transaction; or
          (iv)  The approval of the stockholders of the
Company of (1)
a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (2)
the sale
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of the
Company; excluding, however, such a sale or other
disposition to a
corporation, with respect to which following such sale or
other
disposition, (A) more than eighty percent (80%) of,
respectively, the
then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation
and the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities of
such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election
of
directors will be then beneficially owned, directly or
indirectly, by
all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who
were the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the outstanding shares
of Common
Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately
prior to
such sale or other disposition, (B) no Person (other than
the Company
and any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the
Company or
such corporation and any Person beneficially owning,
immediately prior
to such sale or other disposition, directly or indirectly,
twenty
percent (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock or
Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be)
will
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, twenty percent
(20%) or more
of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common
stock of such
corporation and the combined voting power of the then
outstanding
voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote
generally in
the election of directors and (C) individuals who were
members of the
Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the
members of
the board of directors of such corporation.
          In the event of any conflict between this Section
6 and any
other Section of this Agreement (other than Section 5), the
terms of
this Section 6 shall control so that, without limitation,
the
Executive shall be entitled to the payment and benefits
provided under
this Section 6 notwithstanding any purported termination
(whether for
Cause or otherwise) by the Company.
          7.   Upon presentation to Lone Star of appropriate
documentation, Executive will be entitled to reimbursement
within
guidelines established by Lone Star for all reasonable and
necessary
business expenses incurred by him for entertainment, travel
and
similar items.
          8.   Executive agrees that during his period of
employment
by Lone Star and thereafter he shall hold in confidence and
not
disclose to any unauthorized person any knowledge or
information
acquired and possessed by him of a confidential nature or
any trade
secret with respect to the business of Lone Star, and not to
disclose,
publish or make use of the same without the prior express
consent of
Lone Star.  Executive shall be free to disclose such
information,
knowledge or trade secret in the ordinary course of his
carrying out
his duties as an officer of Lone Star, and shall be free to
disclose
such information, knowledge or trade secret during his
period of
employment by Lone Star and thereafter if such matters
become public
or if compelled by legal process.
          9.   Executive agrees that during the term of his
employment, he will not without the consent of Lone Star, in
any
manner, directly or indirectly, own, manage, be employed by,

assets
thereof shall be subject to the claims of the Corporation's
creditors.  To the extent any benefits provided under the

have
no further obligation with regard thereto, but to the extent
not so
paid, such benefit shall remain the obligation of, and shall
be
paid by the Corporation.  To the extent that any person
acquires a
right to receive payments from the Corporation under this

any
unsecured general creditor of the Corporation.

shall
be construed as adversely affecting, in any manner, the
terms and
conditions of the Executive's employment including, without
limitation, the terms and conditions of the Employment

between this
Agreement and the Employment Agreement regarding
supplemental
retirement benefits and life and medical insurance, the
terms of
this Agreement shall prevail.

other arrangement of the Corporation for the benefit of its
employees.


     5.4  No Reduction in Plan Benefits.  Nothing in this
Agreement
shall reduce the benefits to which the Executive and the
Spouse are
entitled under the Plan.


     5.5  Invalidity.  In case any provision of this
Agreement
shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality
or
invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but
this
Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal
and
invalid provision never existed.


     5.6 Withholding of Taxes.  The Corporation shall have
the
right to make such provisions as it deems necessary or
appropriate
to satisfy any obligations it may have to withhold federal,
state
or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of
payments
pursuant to this Agreement.

upon and
inure to the benefit of the Corporation, its successors and

of the
assets of the Corporation and the surviving entity of any
merger or
consolidation to which the Corporation is a party and the
Executive
and his heirs, executors, administrators and legal
representatives.


     5.8 No Assignment.  Except as provided herein, the
benefits
payable under this Agreement shall not be subject to
alienation,
transfer, assignment, garnishment, execution or levy of any
kind,
and any attempt to cause any benefits to be so subjected
shall not
be recognized.


     5.9  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed
in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of

MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTION PLAN


          AGREEMENT, dated as of June 8, 1994 by and between
Lone Star
Industries, Inc. (the
"Company") and William M. Troutman (the "Participant").

                      Preliminary Statement

          The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the
Board of
Directors (the "Board")
of the Company (the "Committee"), pursuant to the Company's
Management
Stock Option Plan, annexed
hereto as Exhibit A (the "Plan"), granted on June 8, 1994 to
the
Participant, as an Employee (as defined
in the Plan), stock options (the "Options") to purchase the
number of
shares of the Company's common
stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), set
forth
below.  This Agreement sets forth the
terms of the Options.

          Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1.   Grant of Options.  Subject in all respects to
the Plan
and the terms and conditions
set forth herein and therein, the Participant is hereby
granted
125,000 Options to purchase from the
Company up to 125,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price per
share of

shares of
Common Stock granted

immediately, in
whole or in part, prior to
the expiration of the Options as provided herein.

          4.   Method of Exercise.Options may be exercised
in whole
or in part at any time
during the Option term, by giving written notice of exercise
to the
Company specifying the number of
shares to be purchased and whether such exercise is of
Incentive Stock
Options or of Non-Qualified Stock
Options, or what combination of Incentive Stock Options and
Non-Qualified Stock Options are being
exercised.  Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in
full of the
Option Price (i) in cash, by
certified check or money order, or (ii) in the form of
shares of
Common Stock owned by the Participant
(and for which the Participant has good title free and clear
of any
liens and encumbrances) based on the
Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of exercise as
determined
by the Committee or (iii) in such
other form, or pursuant to such other arrangement for the
satisfaction
of the Option Price, as the
Committee may accept.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Fair
Market
Value" shall mean the average of
the high and low prices of a share of Common Stock in New
York Stock
Exchange composite market
transactions, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, or if
the Common
Stock shall not have been reported
on such date, on the first day prior thereto on which the
Common Stock
was reported.  No shares of
Common Stock shall be issued until payment, as provided
herein,
therefor has been made or provided for.

          5.   Restriction on Transfer of Options.  Except

relations order as defined in the Code or Title I of the
Employee
Retirement Income Security Act, or the
rules thereunder or (ii) to the Participant's immediate
family (i.e.,
the Employee's children, grandchildren
and spouse), or to one or more trusts for the benefit of
such
immediate family members, or partnerships
in which such family members are the only partners, provided
that such
transfer shall be permitted only
if the Participant does not receive any consideration for
such
transfer and written notice of such proposed
transfer and the details thereof shall have been furnished
to the
Committee (any Options transferred
pursuant to this clause shall continue to be subject to the
same terms
and conditions that were applicable
to such Options immediately prior to the transfer and a
holder thereof
shall be treated as a Participant
hereunder).  During the lifetime of the Participant, Options
may be
exercised only by the Participant or
the Participant's guardian or legal representative.  In
addition,
except to the extent permitted by this
Agreement, the Options shall not be assigned, negotiated,
pledged or
hypothecated in any way (whether
by operation of law or otherwise), and the Options shall not
be
subject to execution, attachment or similar
process.  Except to the extent permitted by this Agreement,
upon any
attempt to transfer, assign, negotiate,
pledge or hypothecate the Options, or in the event of any
levy upon
the Options by reason of any
execution, attachment or similar process contrary to the
provisions
hereof, the Options shall immediately
become null and void.

          6.   Termination of Employment.

               A.   Termination by Reason of Death or
Disability.  If
a Participant's
Termination of Employment (as hereinafter defined) is by
reason of
death or Disability (as defined in the
Plan), any Options held by such Participant may be
exercised, to the
extent exercisable at the Participant's
termination, by the Participant (or the legal representative
of the
Participant's estate) at any time within
a period of one (1) year from the date of such termination
or until
the expiration of the stated term of the
Option, whichever period is the shorter.  For purposes of
this
Agreement, "Termination of Employment"
means (1) a termination of service for reasons other than a
military
or personal leave of absence granted
by the Company or a transfer of the Participant from or
among the
Company and its subsidiaries, as
defined under Section 424(f) of the Code; or (2) when a
subsidiary,
with respect to which is employing
a Participant, ceases to be a subsidiary, as defined under
Section
424(f) of the Code.

               B.   Termination for Cause.  Upon the
Termination of
Employment of the
Participant for Cause, or if the Company obtains or
discovers
information after Termination of
Employment that such Participant had engaged in conduct that
would
have justified a Termination of
Employment for Cause during employment, all outstanding
Options of the
Participant shall immediately
be canceled,provided, however, that the provisions of this
Section
6(B) shall cease to apply to any Options
that are outstanding at the time of a Change of Control (as
hereinafter defined).  For purposes of this
Agreement, "Change of Control" means the occurrence of any
of the
following events:

Securities
Exchange Act of 1934
                    (the "Exchange Act")) (a Person) of
beneficial
ownership (within the
                    meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under
the
Exchange Act) of shares
                    of Common Stock and/or Outstanding
Company Voting
Securities (as
                    defined below) after which acquisition
such
individual, entity or group is
                    the beneficial owner of twenty percent
(20%) or

securities
of the Company entitled
                    to vote generally in the election of

                    any acquisition by any corporation
pursuant to a
reorganization, merger,
                    consolidation or similar corporate

each case, a Corporate
                    Transaction), if, pursuant to such
Corporate
Transaction, the conditions
                    described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of
paragraph
(iii) of this Section 6
                    are satisfied; or

          (ii)      A change in the composition of the Board
such that
the individuals who,
                    as of July 1, 1994, comprise a class of

Person
other than the Board or
                    actual or threatened tender offer for

considered
as a member of the

          (iii)     The approval by the stockholders of the
Company
of a Corporate
                    Transaction or, if consummation of such
Corporate
Transaction is subject,

                    government or governmental agency, the

For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means that the
Committee shall
have determined that any of the
following events has occurred: (x) The willful and continued
failure
by the Participant to substantially
perform his duties with the Company (other than any such
failure
resulting from his disability due to
physical or mental illness) after a written demand for
performance is
delivered which specifically identifies
the manner in which he has not substantially performed his
duties, or
(y) the willful engaging by the
Participant in gross misconduct materially and demonstrably
injurious
to the Company, monetarily or
otherwise or (z)  conviction of fraud, theft of
embezzlement.  For
purposes of this Section, no act, or
failure to act, shall be considered "willful" unless done,
or omitted
to be done, not in good faith or without
reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the
best interest
of the Company.  The written demand
in clause (x) of this Section 6 shall be delivered to the
Participant
by the Board or the Company's
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and shall set forth a
reasonable
period (not shorter than 30 business
days) in which Participant is expected to comply with said
demand.
If the Participant does not comply
thereafter, the Committee shall have the right to determine
that Cause
exists.

               C.   Other Termination.  If the Participant's
Termination of Employment is for
any reason other than death, Disability, or Cause, any
Options held
by the Participant may be exercised,
to the extent exercisable at the Participant's termination,
by the
Participant at any time within a period
of 3 months from the date of such termination or until the
expiration
of the stated term of such Option,
whichever period is shorter.

          7.   Termination.  Unless terminated as provided
below or
otherwise pursuant to the
Plan, each Incentive Stock Option shall expire on the tenth
anniversary of this Agreement, and each
Non-Qualified Stock Option shall expire on the tenth
anniversary of
the day after the date of this
Agreement.

          8.   Rights as a Stockholder.  The Participant
shall have
no rights as a stockholder with
respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by the Options
until the
Participant shall have become
the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock, and no
adjustments
shall be made for dividends in
cash or other property, distributions or other rights in
respect of
any such shares of Common Stock, except
as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan.

          9.   Provisions of Plan Control.  This Agreement
is subject
to all the terms, conditions
and provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation,
the
amendment provisions thereof, and to such
rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan
as may be
adopted by the Committee and as may
be in effect from time to time.  Any capitalized term used
but not
defined herein shall have the meaning
ascribed to such term in the Plan.  The annexed copy of the
Plan is
incorporated herein by reference.  If
and to the extent that this Agreement conflicts or is
inconsistent
with the terms, conditions and provisions
of the Plan, the Plan shall control, and this Agreement
shall be
deemed to be modified accordingly.

          10.  Withholding of Taxes.  The Company shall have
the right
to require, prior to the
issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock, payment
by the
Participant of any Federal, state or
local taxes required by law to be withheld.

          The Committee may permit any such withholding
obligation to
be satisfied by reducing
the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable
or by
permitting the Participant to deliver
shares of Common Stock which the Participant owns (free and
clear of
any liens and encumbrances).  If
the Participant is required to file reports under Section
16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") with respect to securities of the Company
the
Participant may elect to have a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock withheld or to deliver
shares of
Common Stock which the Participant
owns to fulfill such tax obligations (hereinafter a
Withholding
Election) only if the election complies
with such conditions as are necessary to prevent the
withholding or
transfer of such shares from being
subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  To the extent
necessary
under then current law, such
conditions shall include the following: (x) the Withholding
Election
shall be subject to the disapproval of
the Committee and (y) the Withholding Election is made (i)
during the
period beginning on the third
business day following the date of release for publication
of the
quarterly or annual summary statements
of sales and earnings of the Company and ending on the
twelfth
business day following such date or is
made in advance but takes effect during such period, (ii) at
least six
(6) months prior to the date of
exercise of the Option, or (iii) during any other period in
which a
Withholding Election may be made
under the provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to
the
Exchange Act.  Any fraction of a share
of Common Stock required to satisfy such tax obligations
shall be
disregarded and the amount due shall
be paid instead in cash by the Participant.

          11.  Listing and Other Conditions.

          As long as the Common Stock is listed on a
national
securities exchange or system
sponsored by a national securities association, the issue of
any
shares of Common Stock pursuant to an
Option shall be conditioned upon such shares being listed on
such
exchange or system.  The Company
shall have no obligation to issue such shares unless and
until such
shares are so listed, and the right to
exercise any Option with respect to such shares shall be
suspended
until such listing has been effected.

          If at any time counsel to the Company shall be of
the
opinion that any sale or delivery
of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Option is or may in
the
circumstances be unlawful or result
in the imposition of excise taxes under the statutes, rules
or
regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, the
Company shall have no obligation to make such sale or
delivery, or to
make any application or to effect
or to maintain any qualification or registration under the
Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or otherwise
with respect to shares of Common Stock, and the right to
exercise any
Option shall be suspended until,
in the opinion of said counsel, such sale or delivery shall
be lawful
or will not result in the imposition of
excise taxes.

          Upon termination of any period of suspension under
this
Section 11, any Option affected
by such suspension which shall not then have expired or
terminated
shall be reinstated as to all shares
available before such suspension and as to shares which
would
otherwise have become available during
the period of such suspension, but no such suspension shall
extend the
term of any Option.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained
herein, no
shares of Common Stock shall be
delivered by the Company to the Participant pursuant to this
Agreement
until a Form S-8 registration
statement (or any successor form) shall have become
effective and
shall be current with respect to the
shares being sold and delivered hereunder.


          12.  Notices.  Any notice or communication given
hereunder
shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in
person, or
by United States mail, to the
appropriate party at the address set forth below (or such
other
address as the party shall from time to time
specify):

Agreement
does not guarantee that

any specific time period, nor does

right to
terminate or modify the Participant's
employment or compensation.

Agreement
on the date and year

                                 Address:




                      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
          This Employment Agreement ("Agreement") made as of
the 1st
day of July, 1994 between John J. Martin ("Employee") and
Lone Star
Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having its
principal office
at 300 First Stamford Place, Stamford, Connecticut ("Lone
Star" or the
"Company").
                           WITNESSETH:
          Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual
promises,
agreements and covenants hereby made, the mutual benefits to
be
derived from this Agreement and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree and understand as
follows:
          1.   Lone Star hereby employs Employee, and
Employee hereby
accepts employment by Lone Star, on the terms and conditions
set forth
in this Agreement for a term of twenty-four (24) consecutive
months
commencing as of the date hereof (the "Term"), as President
of Rosebud
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of
the Company ("Rosebud"), and as Senior Vice President of the
Company.
The Employee shall report to, and have such duties as may be
assigned
from time to time by, the Company's Board of Directors, its
Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer and/or its President and Chief
Operating
Officer.
          2.   Lone Star shall pay Employee a salary
("Salary") at the
rate of $200,000 per annum until the effective date of
termination of
this Agreement.  Salary shall continue to be paid to
Employee on the
currently established pay periods of Lone Star.  The
Employee shall
be entitled to participate in the Company's Rosebud
Incentive Plan,
dated April 14, 1994; provided however, that the decision of
whether
to grant any award thereunder, and the size of such award,
if any,
shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the
Company's
Compensation and Stock Option Committee (or such other Board
committee
as shall then be responsible for making such decisions or,
if none,
the Company's full Board of Directors).
          3.   (a)  Lone Star, by written notice which sets
forth the
effective date of termination (which shall not be earlier
than seven
(7) days after receipt of the written notice), may terminate
this
Agreement at any time for any reason without Cause or
Unsatisfactory
Performance.  Subject to the next succeeding sentence below,
in the
event that this Agreement is terminated by the Employee
pursuant to
Section 4 below or Lone Star terminates this Agreement
pursuant to
this Section 3(a), Employee shall be entitled to a severance
payment
in an amount equal to the Employee's Salary for the period
from the
effective date of the termination through the expiration of
the Term
(the "Severance Period").  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary
contained in this Agreement, but subject to Section 3(b)
below, in the
event that Lone Star terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section
3(c), Employee shall be entitled to a severance payment (i)
if such
termination occurs prior to July 1, 1995, in an amount equal
to
$250,000, and (ii) if such termination occurs on or after
July 1,
1995, in an amount equal to the lesser of $200,000 or
Employee's
Salary through the expiration of the Term.  Severance shall
be paid
in lump sum on the effective date of the termination.
Severance pay
pursuant to this Section shall be in lieu of severance pay
pursuant
to any Lone Star policy or other agreements and all
obligations of the
Company under this Agreement except as provided in Sections
6 and 7
below.
               (b)  Lone Star shall have the right to
terminate this
Agreement for Cause at any time and Employee shall not be
entitled,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement,
to receive severance pay pursuant to this Agreement or any
other
policy or agreement of Lone Star.  Cause shall be construed
to mean:
(1) a material default or breach by the Employee in the
performance
of any of his obligations under this Employment Agreement or
(2)
dishonesty, fraud or criminal conduct for which the Employee
would not
be entitled to indemnification under the present by-laws of
Lone Star.
               (c)  In the event the Board of Directors of
the Company
determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the
Employee's
performance under this Agreement has been unsatisfactory
("Unsatisfactory Performance"), Lone Star shall thereupon
have the
right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the
Employee.
          4.   Lone Star hereby agrees not to:  (i) change
Employee's
duties taken as a whole so that they cease to be non-
executive in
nature, or (ii) direct the Employee to relocate his office
to a new
location which is either in a State other than Connecticut
or more
than twenty-five (25) miles from Stamford, Connecticut
(excluding any
relocation of the Employee's office (A) as a result of a
relocation
of Lone Star's operations presently located in Stamford,
Connecticut
and (B) applicable to substantially all officers of Lone
Star).  In
the event Lone Star breaches its obligations in the
immediately
preceding sentence, Employee, at his option (and without
limiting his
remedies), can (if such change in duties or direction to
relocate is
not rescinded or corrected by the Company within 30 days
after written
notice by Employee to the Company, reasonably identifying,
in the case
of such a change in duties, the change in duties complained
of)
declare himself terminated for "Good Reason" by giving
written notice
to Lone Star, and Lone Star shall pay Employee severance pay
and
benefits as provided in Section 3(a), 6 and 7 of this
Agreement.  In
no event shall Employee be required to perform duties or to
suffer
relocation prohibited by this Section 4.
          5.   Employee shall participate in Lone Star's
401K savings
plan, pension plan and vacation and holiday programs and
other
benefits in the same manner as are generally made available
to other
executive salaried employees of Lone Star and in accordance
with the
terms thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
contained in
this Agreement including, without limitation, Section 7,
shall affect
the force and effect of the arrangements (the "Supplemental
Arrangements") provided for in the Order, dated April 14,
1994, of the
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
relating to
certain medical insurance and other benefits and rights.  A
copy of
such Order is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
         6.    Following termination of the Employee's
employment by
Lone Star for any reason other than Cause as defined in
Section 3(b)
or Unsatisfactory Performance as defined in Section 3(c), or
following
termination by the Employee of his employment for Good
Reason (as
defined in Section 4), Employee shall, for so long as and to
the
extent he does not receive comparable coverage from a new
employer,
continue to participate in Lone Star's employee benefit
plans subject
to the terms of such benefit plans on the same basis as is
generally
available to the Company's salaried employees, to the extent
permissible under Lone Star's pension plan for salaried
employees and
subject to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as
amended, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as
amended; provided that such participation shall not exceed
the period
used to calculate the severance payment pursuant to
paragraph 3(a).
If Lone Star terminates the Employee's employment for Cause
pursuant

terms
thereof.
          8.   Upon presentation to Lone Star of appropriate

within
guidelines established by Lone Star for all reasonable and
necessary

           2.    Tax Matters.  19,512 Options  to
acquire 19,512 shares of Common Stock
granted hereby are intended to qualify as and are

following events:

            (i)        Any  acquisition  by   any

(the "Exhchange Act")) (a "Person") of beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3  promulgated  under the  Exchange  Act)  of
shares of Common Stock and/or Outstanding
Company  Voting  Securities  (as  defined  below)
after which acquisition such individual,
entity,  or  group  is  the beneficial  owner  of
twenty  percent (20%) or more of either  (1)  the
then
outstanding  shares of Common Stock  or  (2)  the
combined voting power of the then
outstanding  voting  securities  of  the  Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of

acquisition  by  an  employee  benefit  plan  (or
related
trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company  or
(3) any acquisition by any corporation
pursuant    to    a    reorganization,    merger,
consolidation  or similar corporate   transaction
(in each
case, a "Corporate Transaction"), if, pursuant to
such Corporate Transaction, the conditions
described  in  clauses  (1),  (2)  and  (3)    of
paragraph  (iii) of this Section 3 are satisfied;
or

           (ii)       A change in the composition
of the Board such that the
  individuals who, as of July 1, 1994, comprise a
class of directors of the Board  (the members of
each  class of directors of the Board as of  July
1, 1994 shall be hereinafter referred to as an
"Incumbent Class" and the members of all  of  the
Incumbent Classes shall be hereinafter
collectively   referred  to  as  the   "Incumbent
Board")  cease  for any reason to  constitute  at
least a
majority  of  the  class; provided  however,  for
purposes  of this subsection that any  individual
who
becomes a member of an Incumbent Class subsequent
to July 1, 1994 whose election, or nomination
for  election by the Company's stockholders,  was
approved in advance or contemporaneously with
such election by a vote of at least a majority of
those   individuals  who  are  members   of   the
Incumbent
Board and a majority of those individuals who are
members of such Incumbent Class (or deemed to
be  such  pursuant  to  this  proviso)  shall  be
considered  as  though  such  individual  were  a
member of
the  Incumbent Class; but, provided further, that
any such individual whose initial assumption of
office occurs as a result of either an actual  or
threatened  election contest (as such  terms  are
used in
Rule  14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated  under
the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened
soliciation  of  proxies or  consents  by  or  on
behalf of a Person other than the Board or actual
or
threatened tender offer for shares of the Company
or similar transaction or other contest for
corporate control (other than a tender  offer  by
the  Company)  shall not be so  considered  as  a
member
of the Incumbent Class; or

           (iii)           The  approval  by  the
stockholders of the Company of  a
Corporate Transaction or, if consummation of such
Corporate Transaction is subject, at
the time of such an approval by stockhodlers,  to
the consent of any government or governmental
agency,  the  obtaining of such  consent  (either
explicitly  or  implicitly); excluding,  however,
such
a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which (1) all
or substantially all of the individuals and
entities   who   are   the   beneficial   owners,
respectively, of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock
and   Outstanding   Company   Voting   Securities
immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction
will  beneficially own, directly  or  indirectly,
more  than eighty percent (80%) of, respectively,
the  outstanding shares of common  stock  of  the
corporation   resulting   from   such   Corporate
Transaction
and  the combined voting power of the outstanding
voting securities of such corporation entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors,  (2)
no Person (other than the Company, any employee
benefit  plan (or related trust) of the  Company,
any  employee benefit plan (or related trust)  of
the
Company  or the corporation resulting  from  such
Corporate Transaction and any Person beneficially
owning,   immediately  prior  to  such  Corporate
Transaction,   directly  or  indirectly,   twenty
percent
(20%)  or  more of, respectively, the outstanding
shares of Common Stock or Outstanding Company
Voting  Securities,  as the  case  may  be)  will
beneficially own, directly or indirectly,  twenty
percent
(20%)  or more of, respectively,  the outstanding
shares   of   common  stock  of  the  corporation
resulting
from  such Corporate Transaction or the  combined
voting  power of the then outstanding  securities
of
such  corporation entitled to vote  generally  in
the election of directors and (3) individuals who

members of the Incumbent Board will constitute at
least a majority of the members of board of
directors of the corporation resulting from  such
Corporate Transaction; or

            (iv)        The   approval   of   the
stockholders of the Company of (1)
a  complete  liquidation or  dissolution  of  the
Company  or (2) the sale or other disposition  of
all or
substantially all of the assets of  the  Company;
excluding,   however,  such  a  sale   or   other
disposition
to a corporation, with respect to which following
such  sale  or other disposition, (A)  more  than
eighty
percent   (80%)   of,  respectively,   the   then
outstanding  shares  of  common  stock  of   such
corporation
and   the  combined  voting  power  of  the  then
outstanding voting securities of such corporation
entitled  to  vote generally in the  election  of
directors   will  be  then  beneficially   owned,
directly or
indirectly, by all or substantially  all  of  the
individuals and entities who were the  beneficial
owners,
respectively, of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock and Outstanding Company Voting
Securities  immediately prior  to  such  sale  or
other disposition, (B) no Person (other than  the
Company
and  any employee benefit plan (or related trust)
of the Company or such corporation and any Person
beneficially  owning, immediately prior  to  such
sale   or   other   disposition,   directly    or
indirectly,
twenty  percent (20%) or more of the  outstanding
shares of Common Stock or Outstanding Company
Voting  Securities,  as the  case  may  be)  will
beneficially own, directly or indirectly,  twenty
percent
(20%)   or   more  of,  respectively,  the   then
outstanding  shares  of  common  stock  of   such
corporation and
the combined voting power of the then outstanding
voting securities of such corporation entitled to
vote
generally  in the election of directors  and  (C)
individuals  who  were members of  the  Incumbent
Board
will  constitute  at  least  a  majority  of  the
members  of  the  board  of  directors  of   such
corporation.

          4.   Method of Exercise. Options may be
exercised in whole or
  in part at any time during the Option term,  by
giving written notice of exercise to the Company
specifying  the number of shares to be  purchased
and whether such exercise is of Incentive Stock
Options  or  of Non-Qualified Stock  Options,  or
what combination of Incentive Stock Options and
Non-Qualified Stock Options are being  exercised.
Such notice shall be accompanied by payment
in  full  of  the Option Price (i)  in  cash,  by
certified  check or money order, or (ii)  in  the
form of
shares  of  Common Stock owned by the Participant
(and for which the Participant has good title
free  and  clear  of any liens and  encumbrances)
based  on the Fair Market Value of the shares  on
the
date  of  exercise as determined by the Committee
or  (iii) in such other form, or pursuant to such
other
arrangement  for the satisfaction of  the  Option
Price, as the Committee may accept.  For purposes
of
this  Agreement, "Fair Market Value"  shall  mean
the average of the high and low prices of a share
of
Common Stock in New York Stock Exchange composite
market transactions, as reported by the Wall
Street Journal, or if the Common Stock shall  not
have been reported on such date, on the first day
prior
thereto  on which the Common Stock was  reported.
No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until
payment,  as provided herein, therefor  has  been
made or provided for.

            5.     Restriction  on  Transfer   of
Options.  Except as otherwise provided  herein,
the  Options  granted hereby are not transferable
otherwise  than  by will or under the  applicable
laws
of descent and distribution.  Non-Qualified Stock
Options may be transferred (i) pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order as defined  in
the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income  Security Act, or the rules thereunder  of
(ii) to the Participant's immediate family (i.e.,
the   Employee's   children,  grandchildren   and
spouse), or to one or more trusts for the benefit
of
such immediate family members, or partnerships in
which such family members are the only
partners,  provided that such transfer  shall  be
permitted only if the Partcipant does not receive
any  consideration for such transfer and  written
notice  of such proposed transfer and the details
thereof
shall  have been furnished to the Committee  (any
Options transferred pursuant to this cluase shall
continue  to  be  subject to the same  terms  and
conditions that were applicable to such Options
immediately  prior to the transfer and  a  holder
thereof   shall  be  treated  as  a   Participant
hereunder).
During  the lifetime of the Participant,  Options
may be exercised only by the Participant or the
Participant's  guardian or legal  representative.
In  addition,  except to the extent permitted  by
this
Agreement,  the  Options shall not  be  assigned,
negotiated, pledged or hypothecated in any way
(whether  by operation of law or otherwise),  and
the Options shall not be subject to execution,
attachment  or  similar process.  Except  to  the
extent permitted by this Agreement, upon any
attempt to transfer, assign, negotiate, pledge or
hypothecate the Options, or in the event of any
levy upon the Options by reason of any execution,
attachment or similar process contrary to the
provisions  hereof, the Options shall immediately
become null and void.

          6.   Termination of Employment.

                A.    Termination  by  Reason  of
Death   or   Disability.    If  a   Participant's
Termination   of   Employment   (as   hereinafter
defined) is by reason of death or Disability  (as
defined
in   the   Plan),  any  Options  held   by   such
Participant  may  be exercised ,  to  the  extent
exercisable at
the Participant's termination, by the Participant
(or the legal representative of the Participant's
estate)  at any time within a period of  one  (1)
year  from the date of such termination or  until
the
expiration  of  the stated terms of  the  Option,
whichever period is the shorter.  For purposes of
this
Agreement, "Termination of Employment" means  (1)
a termination of service for reasons other
than  a  military  or personal leave  of  absence
granted  by  the  Company or a  transfer  of  the
Participant
from  or  among the Company and its subsidiaries,
as defined under Section 424(f) of the Code; or
(2)  when a subsidiary, with respect to which  is
employing   a  Participant,  ceases   to   be   a
subsidiary,
as defined under Section 424(f) of the Code.

                B.   Termination for Cause.  Upon
the Termination of Employment
of  the  Participant for Cause, or if the Company
obtains or discovers information after
Termination  of Employment that such  Participant
had engaged in conduct that would have
justified  a Termination of Employment for  Cause
during employment, all outstanding Options
of    the   Participant  shall   immediately   be
canceled,  provided, however, that the provisions
of this
Section  6(B) shall cease to apply to any Options
that are outstanding at the time of a Change of
Control.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause"
means that the Committee shall have
determined  that any of the following events  has
occurred: (1) a material default or breach by the
Participant  in the performance  of  any  of  his
oligations  under his employment  agreement  with
the
Company  or  (2)  dishonesty, fraud  or  criminal
conduct for which the Participant would not be
entitled to indemnification under the present by-
laws of the Company.


                C.    Other Termination.  If  the
Participant's Termination of
  Employment is for any reason other than  death,
Disability, or Cause, any Options held by the
Participant  may  be  exercised,  to  the  extent
exercisable at the Participant's termination,  by
the
Participant  at any time within  a  period  of  3
months from the date of such termination or
until  the expiration of the stated term of  such
Option, whichever period is shorter.

          7.   Termination.  Unless terminated as
provided below or
  otherwise pursuant to the Plan, each  Incentive
Stock Option shall expire on the tenth
anniversary  of  this Agreement,  and  each  Non-
Qualified Stock Option shall expire on the
tenth  anniversary of the day after the  date  of
this Agreement.  Any Options that were not
exercisable by the Participant at the time of the
Participant's Termination of Employment
shall terminate and be null and void.

           8.    Rights  as  a Stockholder.   The
Participant shall have no
  rights  as  a stockholder with respect  to  any
shares of Common Stock covered by the
Options  until the Participant shall have  become
the holder of record of the shares of
Common  Stock, and no adjustments shall  be  made
for dividends in cash or other property,
distributions or other rights in respect  of  any
such shares of Common Stock, except as
otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan.

           9.   Provisions of Plan Control.  This
Agreement is subject to
all  the terms, conditions and provisions of  the
Plan, including, without limitation, the
amendment provisions thereof, and to such  rules,
regulations and interpretations relating
to  the  Plan as may be adopted by the  Committee
and as may be in effect from time to
time.   Any capitalized term used but not defined
herein shall have the meaning ascribed
to  such  term in the Plan.  The annexed copy  of
the Plan is incorporated herein by
reference.  If  and  to  the  extent  that   this
Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the
terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, the
Plan shall control, and this Agreement
shall be deemed to be modified accordingly.

          10.  Withholding of Taxes.  The Company
shall have the right to
  require,  prior to the issuance or delivery  of
any shares of Common Stock, payment by the
Participant of any Federal, state or local  taxes
required by law to be withheld.

           The  Committee  may  permit  any  such
withholding obligation to be satisfied
 by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock
otherwise deliverable or by permitting
the Participant to deliver shares of Common stock
which the Participant owns (free and
clear  of  any liens and encumbrances).   If  the
Participant is required to file reports under
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to
securitites of the Company the Participant
may  elect to have a sufficient number of  shares
of Common Stock withheld or to deliver
shares of Common Stock which the Participant owns
to fulfill such tax obligations
(hereinafter  a "Withholding Election")  only  if
the election complies with such conditions as
are  neceesary  to  prevent  the  withholding  or
transfer of such shares from being subject to
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  To the extent
necessary under then current law, such
conditions  shall include the following  (x)  the
Withholding Election shall be subject to the
disapproval   of  the  Committee  and   (y)   the
Withholding Election is made (i) during the
period  beginning  on  the  third  business   day
following the date of release for publication of
the  quarterly  or annual summary  statements  of
sales and earnings of the Company and ending
on  the twelfth business day following such  date
or is made in advance but takes effect during
such  period, (ii) at least six (6) months  prior
to the date of exercise of the Option, or (iii)
during  any  other period in which a  Withholding
Election may be made under the provisions
of   Rule  16b-3  promulgated  pursuant  to   the
Exchange Act.  Any fraction of a share of Common
Stock  required  to satisfy such tax  obligations
shall be disregarded and the amount due shall
be paid instead in cash by the Participant.

          11.  Listing and Other Conditions.

           As  long as the Common Stock is listed
on a national securities exchange
or  system  sponsored  by a  national  securities
association, the issue of any shares of Common
Stock  pursuant to an Option shall be conditioned
upon such shares being listed on such
exchange  or system.  The Company shall  have  no
obligation to issue such shares unless
and  until  such  shares are so listed,  and  the
right to exercise any Option with respect to such
shares shall be suspended until such listing  has
been effected.

           If  at any time counsel to the Company
shall be of the opinion  that any
sale  or  delivery  of  shares  of  Common  Stock
pursuant to an Option is or may in the
circumstances  be  unlawful  or  result  in   the
imposition of excise taxes under the statutes,
rules    or   regulations   of   any   applicable
jurisdiction,   the   Company   shall   have   no
obligation
to  make  such sale or delivery, or to  make  any
application or to effect or to maintain any
qualification   or   registration    under    the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or otherwise
with  respect to shares of Common Stock, and  the
right to exericse any Option shall be
suspended until, in the opinion of said  counsel,
such sale of delivery shall be lawful
or  will  not result in the imposition of  excise
taxes.

           Upon  termination  of  any  period  of
suspension under this Section 11,
  any  Option  affected by such suspension  which
shall not then have expired or terminated
shall  re  reinstated as to all shares  available
before such suspension and as to shares which
would otherwise have become available during  the
period of such suspension, but no
such  suspension  shall extend the  term  of  any
Option.  Notwithstanding anthing else
to  the  contrary contained herein, no shares  of
Common Stock shall be delivered by
the  Company to the Participant pursuant to  this
Agreement until a Form S-8
registration  statement (or any  successor  form)
shall have become effective and shall
be  current with respect to the shares being sold
and delivered hereunder.

             12.    Notices.    Any   notice   or
communication given hereunder shall
  be  in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given when delivered in person, or

                      INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT



     AGREEMENT, effective as of ______________, between Lone
Star
Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
and
__________________ (the "Indemnitee").

     WHEREAS, it is essential that the Company retain and
attract as
directors and executive officers the most capable persons
available;

     WHEREAS, Indemnitee is a director or executive officer
of the
Company;

     WHEREAS, both the Company and Indemnitee recognize the
increased
risk of litigation and other claims being asserted against
directors
and executive officers of public companies in today's
environment.

     WHEREAS, basic protection against undue risk of
personal
liability of directors and executive officers heretofore has
been
provided through insurance coverage providing reasonable
protection
at reasonable costs, and Indemnitee has relied on the
availability of
such coverage; but as a result of substantial changes in the
marketplace for such insurance it has become increasingly
more
difficult to obtain such insurance on terms providing
reasonable
protection at reasonable cost;

     WHEREAS, the By-Laws of the Company (the "By-Laws")
require the
Company to indemnify directors, officers and certain other
persons to
the full extent permitted by law and the Indemnitee has been
serving
and continues to serve as a director or executive officer of
the
Company in part in reliance on the By-Laws;

     WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee's need for
substantial
protection against personal liability in order to enhance
Indemnitee's
continued service to the Company in an effective manner, the
increasing difficulty in obtaining satisfactory director and
officer
liability insurance coverage, and Indemnitee's reliance on
the By-
Laws, and in part to provide Indemnitee with specific
contractual
assurance that the protection promised by the By-Laws will
be
available to Indemnitee (regardless of, among other things,
any
amendment to or revocation of the By-Laws or any change in
the
composition of the Company's Board of Directors or
acquisition
transaction relating to the Company), the Company wishes to
provide
in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the
advancing of
expenses to Indemnitee to the fullest extent (whether
partial or
complete) permitted by law and as set forth in this
Agreement, and,
to the extent insurance is maintained, for the continued
coverage of
Indemnitee under the Company's directors' and officers'
liability
insurance policies.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of
Indemnitee continuing to serve the Company directly or, at
its
request, another enterprise, and intending to be legally
bound hereby,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.   Certain Definitions.

     (a)  Change in Control:  shall be deemed to have
occurred if (i)
any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than a
trustee or
other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit
plan of
the Company or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by
the
stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as
their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the
"beneficial
owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly
or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or
more of
the total voting power represented by the Company's then
outstanding
Voting Securities, or (ii) during any period of two
consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute
the Board
of Directors of the Company and any new director whose
election by the
Board of Directors or nomination for election by the
Company's
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
(2/3) of
the directors then still in office who either were directors
at the
beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for
election
was previously so approved, cease for any reason to
constitute a
majority thereof, or (iii) the stockholders of the Company
approve a
merger or consolidation of the Company with any other
corporation,
other than a merger or consolidation which would result in
the Voting
Securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior
thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or
by being
converted into Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at
least 80%
of the total voting power represented by the Voting
Securities of the
Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately
after such
merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company
approve
a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an
agreement for the
sale or disposition by the Company of (in one transaction or
a series
of transactions) all or substantially all of the Company's
assets.

     (b)  Claim:  any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit
or proceeding, or any inquiry or investigation, whether
instituted by
the Company or any other party, that Indemnitee in good
faith believes
might lead to the institution of any such action, suit or
proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or
other.

     (c)  Expenses:  include attorneys' fees and all other
costs,
expenses and obligations paid or incurred in connection with
investigating, defending, being a witness in or
participating in
(including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness
in or
participate in any Claim relating to any Indemnifiable
Event.

     (d)  Indemnifiable Event:  any event or occurrence
related to the
fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer,
employee, agent
or fiduciary of the Company, or is or was serving at the
request of
the Company as director, officer, employee, trustee, agent,
partnership committee member or fiduciary of another
corporation,
partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or
other
enterprise, or by reason of anything done or not done by
Indemnitee
in any such capacity.

     (e)  Independent Legal Counsel:  an attorney or firm of
attorneys, selected in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3,
who shall not have otherwise performed services for the
Company or
Indemnitee within the last five years (other than with
respect to
matters concerning the rights of Indemnitee under this
Agreement, or
of other indemnitees under similar indemnity agreements).

     (f)  Potential Change in Control:  shall be deemed to
have
occurred if (i) the Company enters into an agreement, the
consummation
of which would result in the occurrence of a Change in
Control; (ii)
any person (including the Company) publicly announces an
intention to
take or to consider taking actions which if consummated
would
constitute a Change in Control; (iii) any person, other than
a trustee
or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee
benefit plan
of the Company or a corporation owned, directly or
indirectly, by the
stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as
their ownership of stock of the Company, who is or becomes
the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of
the Company
representing 9.5% or more of the combined voting power of
the
Company's then outstanding Voting Securities, increases his
beneficial
ownership of such securities by five percentage points (5%)
or more
over the percentage so owned by such person; or (iv) the
Board adopts
a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this
Agreement, a
Potential Change in Control has occurred.

     (g)  Reviewing Party:  any appropriate person or body
consisting
of a member or members of the Company's Board of Directors
or any
other person or body appointed by the Board who is not a
party to the
particular Claim for which Indemnitee is seeking
indemnification, or
Independent Legal Counsel.

     (h)  Voting Securities:  any securities of the Company
which vote
generally in the election of directors.

     2.  Basic Indemnification Arrangement.  (a)  In the
event
Indemnitee was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other
participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or
witness or
other participant in, a Claim by reason of (or arising in
part out of)
an Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee to the
fullest extent permitted by law as soon as practicable but
in any
event no later than thirty days after written demand is
presented to
the Company, against any and all Expenses, judgments, fines,
penalties
and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest,
assessments
and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in
respect of
such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid
in
settlement) of such Claim. If so requested by Indemnitee,
the Company
shall advance (within two business days of such request) any
and all
Expenses to Indemnitee (an "Expense Advance").
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee shall
not be
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in
connection
with (i) liability under Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended or under federal or state securities
laws for
"insider trading", (ii) conduct finally adjudged as
constituting
active or deliberate dishonesty or willful fraud or
illegality, or
(iii) conduct finally adjudged as producing an unlawful
personal
benefit. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary,
prior to a Change in Control, Indemnitee shall not be
entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in connection
with any
Claim initiated by Indemnitee unless the Board of Directors
has
authorized or consented to the initiation of such Claim.

     (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the obligations
of the
Company under Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition
that the
Reviewing Party shall not have determined (in a written
opinion, in
any case in which the Independent Legal Counsel referred to
in Section
3 hereof is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted
to be
indemnified under applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of
the
Company to make an Expense Advance pursuant to Section 2(a)
shall be
subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent
that the
Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be
permitted to
be so indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be
entitled
to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to
reimburse the
Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided,
however,
that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences
legal
proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a
determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under
applicable
law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that
Indemnitee
would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable
law shall
not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to
reimburse the
Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial
determination
is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of
appeal
therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed).  If there has not
been a
Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be selected by
the Board
of Directors, and if there has been such a Change in Control
(other
that a Change in Control which has been approved by a
majority of the
Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately
prior to
such Change in Control), the Reviewing Party shall be the
Independent
Legal Counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof. If there has
been no
determination by the Reviewing Party within thirty days
after written
demand for indemnification made under Section 2(a) or if the
Reviewing
Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be
permitted
to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law,
Indemnitee
shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in
the State
of Connecticut or the State of Delaware having subject
matter
jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an
initial
determination by the court or challenging any such
determination by
the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the
legal or
factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to
service of
process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any
determination by the
Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on
the
Company and Indemnitee.

     3.  Change in Control.  If there is a Change in Control
of the
Company (other than a Change in Control which has been
approved by a
majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were
directors
immediately prior to such Change in Control) then with
respect  to all
matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of
Indemnitee to
indemnity payments and Expense Advances under the By-Laws,
this
Agreement or any other agreement or Company By-Law now or
hereafter
in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events, the
Company
shall seek legal advice only from Independent Legal Counsel
selected
by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval
shall not
be unreasonably withheld).  Such counsel, among other
things, shall
render its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as
to whether
and to what extent the Indemnitee would be permitted to be
indemnified
under applicable law. The Company shall pay the reasonable
fees of the
Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and fully
indemnify such
counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys'
fees),
claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating
to this
Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

     4.  Establishment of Trust.  In the event of a
Potential Change
in Control, the Company shall, upon written request by
Indemnitee
create a trust for the benefit of Indemnitee and from time
to time
upon written request of Indemnitee shall fund such trust in
an amount
sufficient to satisfy any and all Expenses reasonably
anticipated at
the time of each such request to be incurred in connection
with
investigating, preparing for and defending any Claim
relating to an
Indemnifiable Event, and any and all judgements, fines,
penalties and
settlement amounts of any and all Claims relating to an
Indemnifiable
Event from time to time actually paid or claimed, reasonably
anticipated or proposed to be paid; provided that in no
event shall
more than $100,000 be required to be deposited in any trust
created
hereunder in excess of amounts deposited in respect of
reasonably
anticipated Expenses. The amount or amounts to be deposited
in the
trust pursuant to the foregoing funding obligation shall be
determined
by the Reviewing Party. The terms of the trust shall provide
that (i)
the trust shall be irrevocable, (ii) the trustee shall
advance, within
two business days of a request by the Indemnitee, any and
all Expenses
to the Indemnitee (and the Indemnitee hereby agrees to
reimburse the
trust under the circumstances under which the Indemnitee would be
required to reimburse the Company under Section 2(b) of this
Agreement, (iii) the trust shall continue to be funded by
the Company
in accordance with the funding obligation set forth above,
(iv) the
trustee shall promptly pay to Indemnitee all amounts for
which
Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to
this
Agreement or otherwise, and (v) upon a final determination
by the
Reviewing Party or a court of competent jurisdiction, as the
case may
be, that Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under the
terms of this
Agreement, all unexpended funds in such trust shall be used
solely for
the purpose of paying premiums on directors' and officers'
liability
insurance policies maintained by the Company. The trustee
shall be
chosen by Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to
the contrary, to the extent of the amount of funds in the
trust corpus
the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify Indemnitee
under
this Agreement.

     5.  Indemnification for Additional Expenses.  The
Company shall
indemnify Indemnitee against any and all expenses (including
attorneys' fees) and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall
(within two
business days of such request) advance such expenses to
Indemnitee,
which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any
action brought
by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or advance payment of
Expenses
by the Company under this Agreement, the By-Laws or any
other
agreement or Company By-Law now or hereafter in effect
relating to
Claims for Indemnifiable Events and/or (ii) recovery under
any
directors' and officers' liability insurance policies
maintained by
the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is
determined
to be entitled to such indemnification, advance expense
payment or
insurance recovery, as the case may be.

     6.  Partial Indemnity, Etc.  If Indemnitee is entitled
under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the
Company for some
or a portion of the Expenses, judgements, fines, penalties
and amounts
paid in settlement of a Claim but not, however, for all of
the total
amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify
Indemnitee
for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.
Moreover,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to
the extent
that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in
defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or in part to
an
Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter
therein,
including dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be
indemnified
against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

     7.  Burden of Proof.  In connection with any
determination by the
Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is
entitled to
be indemnified hereunder the burden of proof shall be on the
Company
to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

     8.  No Presumptions.  For purposes of this Agreement,
the
termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, by
judgement,
order, settlement (whether with or without court approval)
or
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its
equivalent,
shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet
any
particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief
or that
a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted
by
applicable law.  In addition, neither the failure of the
Reviewing
Party to have made a determination as to whether Indemnitee
has met
any particular standard of conduct or had any particular
belief, nor
an actual determination by the Reviewing Party that
Indemnitee has not
met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief,
prior to the
commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a
judicial
determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under
applicable
law shall be a defense to Indemnitee's claim or create a
presumption
that Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of
conduct or did
not have any particular belief.

     9.  Nonexclusivity, Etc.  The rights of the Indemnitee
hereunder
shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have
under the
By-Laws or the Delaware General Corporation Law or
otherwise. To the
extent that a change in the Delaware General Corporation Law
(whether
by statute or judicial decision) permits greater
indemnification by
agreement than would be afforded currently under the By-Laws
and this
Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that
Indemnitee
shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so
afforded by such
change.

     10.  Liability Insurance.  To the extent the Company
maintains
an insurance policy or policies providing directors' and
officers'
liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such
policy or
policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the
maximum extent
of the coverage available for any Company director or
officer.

     11.  Period of Limitations.  No legal action shall be
brought and
no cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of
the Company
against Indemnitee, Indemnitee's spouse, heirs, executors or
personal
or legal representatives after the expiration of two years
from the
date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or
cause of
action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed
released unless
asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such
two-year
period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of
limitations
is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such
shorter
period shall govern.

     12.  Amendments, Etc.  No supplement, modification or
amendment
of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in
writing by both
of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of
this
Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of
any other
provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such
waiver
constitute a continuing waiver.

     13.  Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this
Agreement,
the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such
payment to all
of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute
all papers
required and shall do everything that may be necessary to
secure such
rights, including the execution of such documents necessary
to enable
the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such
rights.

     14.  No Duplication of Payments.  The Company shall not
be liable
under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with
any Claim
made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has
otherwise
actually received payment (under any insurance policy, the
Company By-
Laws or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable
hereunder.

     15.  Binding Effect, Etc.  This Agreement shall be
binding upon
and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
parties hereto
and their respective successors, assigns, including any
direct or
indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of
the Company,
spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal
representatives.
This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of
whether
Indemnitee continues to serve as an executive officer or
director of
the Company or of any other enterprise at the Company's
request.

     16.  Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement
shall be
severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof
(including
any provision within a single section, paragraph or
sentence) is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or
otherwise
unenforceable in any respect, and the validity and
enforceability of
any such provision in every other respect and of the
remaining
provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired and shall
remain
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     17.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed
by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of
Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed in
such
state without giving effect to the principles of conflicts
of laws.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed
this
Agreement as of the date first above set forth.

                              As of              , 1994



Mr.



Dear Mr.        :

          This letter will evidence the agreement of Lone
Star
Industries, Inc. (the "Company") with you on the terms
specified
herein.
          1.   You may, at any time within 30 days after the
occurrence (during the effectiveness of this Agreement) of a
Change of Control, as defined below, give the Company your
written request that you be offered employment by the
Company
surviving such Change of Control which is Substantially
Comparable, as defined below, to your employment with the
Company
prior to such Change of Control.  If within 30 days after
the
giving by you of such a request, such Company does not
confirm to
you in writing its offer to you of employment which is
Substantially Comparable, or if such Substantially
Comparable
employment does not continue to be tendered to you by such
Company thereafter for a period of at least one year
following
such Change of Control (whether because of a termination of
your
employment by such Company, for cause or otherwise, or
because of
a change in the terms of such employment so that it is no
longer
Substantially Comparable to your employment by the Company
prior
to the Change of Control), then you may by written notice to
the
Company (a "Default Notice") terminate your employment and
thereafter you shall be entitled to severance in an amount
equal
to your then current base salary for two years.  Such
severance
shall be paid in lump sum on the effective date of the
termination of your employment.  In addition, you shall
continue
to receive medical insurance and other benefits during a
period
of two years commencing upon delivery of a Default Notice
which
benefits shall be substantially comparable to those you
received
prior to the Change of Control.  In furtherance and not in
limitation of the immediately preceding sentence, you shall
be
deemed to have continued your employment at your salary
effective
prior to the Change of Control during such two-year period
for
purposes of vesting, eligibility and benefit accrual under
any
applicable employee benefit plan (subject to the
requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).  Severance
pay
pursuant to this Agreement shall be in lieu of severance pay
pursuant to any other Lone Star severance policy.
          2.   For purposes of this Agreement (i) a "Change
of
Control" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
occurrence of
any of the following events:
          (i)  Any acquisition by any individual, entity or
group
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) (a
Person) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of shares of
common
stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") and/or other
voting
securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors ("Outstanding Company Voting
Securities")
after which acquisition such individual, entity or group is
the
beneficial owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of either
(1)
the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or (2) the
Outstanding Company Voting Securities; excluding, however,
the
following:  (1) any acquisition by the Company, (2) any
acquisition by an employee benefit plan (or related trust)
sponsored or maintained by the Company or (3) any
acquisition by
any corporation pursuant to a reorganization, merger,
consolidation or similar corporate transaction (in each
case, a
Corporate Transaction), if, pursuant to such Corporate
Transaction, the conditions described in clauses (1), (2)
and (3)
of paragraph (iii) of this Section 6 are satisfied; or
          (ii)  A change in the composition of the Board of
Directors of the Company such that the individuals who, as
of the
date hereof, comprise a class of directors of the Board (the
members of each class of directors of the Board as of the
date
hereof shall be hereinafter referred to as an Incumbent
Class
and the members of all of the Incumbent Classes shall be
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Incumbent
Board")
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of
the
class; provided, however, for purposes of this subsection
that
any individual who becomes a member of an Incumbent Class
subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination
for
election by the Company's stockholders, was approved in
advance
or contemporaneously with such election by a vote of at
least a
majority of those individuals who are members of the
Incumbent
Board and a majority of those individuals who are members of
such
Incumbent Class (or deemed to be such pursuant to this
proviso)
shall be considered as though such individual were a member
of
the Incumbent Class; but, provided further, that any such
individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a
result
of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such
terms
are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under
the
Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of
proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than
the
Board of Directors of the Company or actual or threatened
tender
offer for shares of the Company or similar transaction or
other
contest for corporate control (other than a tender offer by
the
Company) shall not be so considered as a member of the
Incumbent
Class; or
          (iii)  The approval by the stockholders of the
Company
of a Corporate Transaction or, if consummation of such
Corporate
Transaction is subject, at the time of such approval by
stock-
holders, to the consent of any government or governmental
agency,
the obtaining of such consent (either explicitly or
implicitly);
excluding, however, such a Corporate Transaction pursuant to
which (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and
entities who are the beneficial owners, respectively, of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock and Outstanding Company

spouse), or to one or more trusts for the benefit of such
immediate
family members, or partnerships in which such family members
are the
only partners, provided that such transfer shall be
permitted only
if the Participant does not receive any consideration for
such
transfer and written notice of such proposed transfer and
the
details thereof shall have been furnished to the Committee
(any
Options transferred pursuant to this clause shall continue
to be
subject to the same terms and conditions that were
applicable to
such Options immediately prior to the transfer and a holder
thereof
shall be treated as a Participant hereunder).  During the
lifetime
of the Participant, Options may be exercised only by the
Participant
or the Participant's guardian or legal representative.  In
addition,
except to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the
Options shall
not be assigned, negotiated, pledged or hypothecated in any
way
(whether by operation of law or otherwise), and the Options
shall
not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
Except
to the extent permitted by this Agreement, upon any attempt
to
transfer, assign, negotiate, pledge or hypothecate the
Options, or
in the event of any levy upon the Options by reason of any
execution, attachment or similar process contrary to the
provisions
hereof, the Options shall immediately become null and void.

          6.   Termination of Employment.

               A. Termination by Reason of Death or
Disability. If
a Participant's Termination of Employment (as hereinafter
defined)
is by reason of death or Disability (as defined in the
Plan), any
Options held by such Participant may be exercised, to the
extent
exercisable at the Participant's termination, by the
Participant (or
the legal representative of the Participant's estate) at any
time
within a period of one (1) year from the date of such
termination or
until the expiration of the stated term of the Option,
whichever
period is the shorter.  For purposes of this Agreement,
"Termination
of Employment" means (1) a termination of service for
reasons other
than a military or personal leave of absence granted by the
Company
or a transfer of the Participant from or among the Company
and its
subsidiaries, as defined under Section 424(f) of the Code;
or (2)
when a subsidiary, with respect to which is employing a
Participant,
ceases to be a subsidiary, as defined under Section 424(f)
of the
Code.

               B. Termination for Cause.  Upon the
Termination of
Employment of the Participant for Cause, or if the Company
obtains
or discovers information after Termination of Employment
that such
Participant had engaged in conduct that would have justified
a
Termination of Employment for Cause during employment, all
outstanding Options of the Participant shall immediately be
canceled, provided, however, that the provisions of this
Section
6(B) shall cease to apply to any Options that are
outstanding at the
time of a Change of Control.  For purposes of this
Agreement,
"Cause" means that the Committee shall have determined that
any of
the following events has occurred: (1) an act of fraud,
embezzlement, misappropriation of business or theft
committed by the
Participant in the course of his or her employment, or any
intentional or gross negligent misconduct of the Participant
which
injures the business or reputation of the Company; (2)
intentional
or gross negligent damage committed by the Participant to
the
property of the Company; (3) the Participant's failure or
refusal to
perform the customary duties and responsibilities of his or
her
position with the Company; (4) the Participant's breach of
fiduciary
duty, or the making of a false representation, to the
Company; (5)
the Participant's material breach of any covenant, condition
or
obligation required to be performed by him or her pursuant
to the
Plan, this Option Agreement or any other agreement between
him or
her and the Company or the Participant's intentional or
gross
negligent violation of any material written policy of the
Company;
(6) the Participant's willful failure or refusal to act in
accordance with any specific lawful instructions of a
majority of
the Board of Directors of the Company; or (7) commission by
the
Participant of a felony or a crime involving moral
turpitude.

               C. Other Termination. If the Participant's
Termination of Employment is for any reason other than
death,
Disability, or Cause, any Options held by the Participant
may be
exercised, to the extent exercisable at the Participant's
termination, by the Participant at any time within a period
of 3
months from the date of such termination or until the
expiration of
the stated term of such Option, whichever period is shorter.

          7. Termination.  Unless terminated as provided
below or
otherwise pursuant to the Plan, each Incentive Stock Option
shall
expire on the tenth anniversary of this Agreement, and each
Non-
Qualified Stock Option shall expire on the tenth anniversary
of the
day after the date of this Agreement.  Any Options that were
not
exercisable by the Participant at the time of the
Participant's
Termination of Employment shall terminate and be null and
void.

          8. Rights as a Stockholder.  The Participant shall
have no
rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common
Stock
covered by the Options until the Participant shall have
become the
holder of record of the shares of Common Stock, and no
adjustments
shall be made for dividends in cash or other property,
distributions
or other rights in respect of any such shares of Common
Stock,
except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan.

          9. Provisions of Plan Control.  This Agreement is
subject
to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan,
including,
without limitations the amendment provisions thereof, and to
such
rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan
as may
be adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from
time to
time.  Any capitalized term used but not defined herein
shall have
the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.  The annexed
copy of
the Plan is incorporated herein by reference. If and to the
extent
that this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the
terms,
conditions and provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall
control, and
this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly.

          10. Withholding of Taxes.  The Company shall have
the
right to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any
shares of
Common Stock, payment by the Participant of any Federal,
state or
local taxes required by law to be withheld.

          The Committee may permit any such withholding
obligation
to be satisfied by reducing the number of shares of Common
Stock
otherwise deliverable or by permitting the Participant to
deliver
shares of Common Stock which the Participant owns (free and
clear of
any liens and encumbrances). If the Participant is required
to file
reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect
to
securities of the Company the Participant may elect to have
a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock withheld or to
deliver
shares of Common Stock which the Participant owns to fulfil
such tax
obligations (hereinafter a "Withholding Election") only if
the
election complies with such conditions as are necessary to
prevent
the withholding or transfer of such shares from being
subject to
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  To the extent necessary
under
then current law, such conditions shall include the
following: (x)
the Withholding Election shall be subject to the disapproval
of the
Committee and (y) the Withholding Election is made (i)
during the
period beginning on the third business day following the
date of
release for publication of the quarterly or annual summary
statements of sales and earnings of the Company and ending
on the
twelfth business day following such date or is made in
advance but
takes effect during such period, (ii) at least six (6)
months prior
to the date of exercise of the Option, or (iii) during any
other
period in which a Withholding Election may be made under the
provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to the
Exchange Act.
Any fraction of a share of Common Stock required to satisfy
such tax
obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be
paid
instead in cash by the Participant

          11. Listing and Other Conditions.

          As long as the Common Stock is listed on a
national
securities exchange or system sponsored by a national
securities
association, the issue of any shares of Common Stock
pursuant to an
Option shall be conditioned upon such shares being listed on
such
exchange or system.  The Company shall have no obligation to
issue
such shares unless and until such shares are so listed, and
the
right to exercise any Option with respect to such shares
shall be
suspended until such listing has been effected.

          If at any time counsel to the Company shall be of
the
opinion that any sale or delivery of shares of Common Stock
pursuant
to an Option is or may in the circumstances be unlawful or
result in
the imposition of excise taxes under the statutes, rules or
regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company
shall have
no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any
application or to effect or to maintain any qualification or
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or
otherwise with respect to shares of Common Stock, and the
right to
exercise any Option shall be suspended until, in the opinion
of said
counsel, such sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not
result in
the imposition of excise taxes.

          Upon termination of any period of suspension under
this
Section 11, any Option affected by such suspension which
shall not
then have expired or terminated shall be reinstated as to
all shares
available before such suspension and as to shares which
would
otherwise have become available during the period of such
suspension, but no such suspension shall extend the term of
any
Option.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
contained
herein, no shares of Common Stock shall be delivered by the
Company
to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement until a Form S-
8
registration statement (or any successor form) shall have
become
effective and shall be current with respect to the shares
being sold
and delivered hereunder.

          12. Notices.  Any notice or communication given
hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given when
delivered in person, or by United States mail, to the
appropriate
party at the address set forth below (or such other address
as the
party shall from time to time specify):

right to
terminate or modify the Participant's employment or
compensation.

twenty
                    percent (20%) or more of either (1) the

or (3)
                    any acquisition by any corporation
pursuant to
                    a reorganization, merger, consolidation
or
                    similar corporate transaction (in each
case, a
                    "Corporate Transaction"), if, pursuant
to such
                    Corporate Transaction, the conditions
described
                    in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph

                    of this Section 3 are satisfied; or


          (ii)      A change in the composition of the Board

1994,
                    comprise a class of directors of the
Board (the
                    members of each class of directors of
the Board
                    as of July 1, 1994 shall be hereinafter
                    referred to as an "Incumbent Class" and
the
                    members of all of the Incumbent Classes
shall
                    be hereinafter collectively referred to
as the

                    provided, however, for purposes of this
                    subsection that any individual who
becomes a
                    member of an Incumbent Class subsequent
to July
                    1, 1994 whose election, or nomination
for
                    election by the Company's stockholders,
was
                    approved in advance or contemporaneously
with
                    such election by a vote of at least a
majority
                    of those individuals who are members of
the
                    Incumbent Board and a majority of those
                    individuals who are members of such
Incumbent
                    Class (or deemed to be such pursuant to
this
                    proviso) shall be considered as though
such
                    individual were a member of the
Incumbent
                    Class; but, provided further, that any
such
                    individual whose initial assumption of
office
                    occurs as a result of either an actual
or
                    threatened election contest (as such
terms are
                    used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A
                    promulgated under the Exchange Act) or
other
                    actual or threatened solicitation of
proxies or
                    consents by or on behalf of a Person
other than
                    the Board or actual or threatened tender
offer
                    for shares of the Company or similar
                    transaction or other contest for
corporate
                    control (other than a tender offer by
the
                    Company) shall not be so considered as a
member
                    of the Incumbent Class; or

          (iii)    The approval by the stockholders of the
Company
                   of a Corporate Transaction or, if
consummation
                   of such Corporate Transaction is subject,
at the
                   time of such approval by stockholders, to
the
                   consent of any government or governmental
                   agency, the obtaining of such consent
(either
                   explicitly or implicitly); excluding,

entitled
                   to vote generally in the election of
directors
                   will be then beneficially owned, directly
or
                   indirectly, by all or substantially all
of the
                   individuals and entities who were the
beneficial
                   owners, respectively, of the outstanding
shares
                   of Common Stock and Outstanding Company
Voting
                   Securities immediately prior to such sale
or
                   other disposition, (B) no Person (other

shares
                   of Common Stock or Outstanding Company
Voting
                   Securities, as the case may be) will
                   beneficially own, directly or indirectly,
twenty
                   percent (20%) or more of, respectively,
the then
                   outstanding shares of common stock of
such
                   corporation and the combined voting power

                   constitute at least a majority of the
members of
                   the board of directors of such
corporation.

          4.  Method of Exercise.  Options may be exercised
in whole
or in part at any time during the Option term, by giving
written
notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of
shares to
be purchased and whether such exercise is of Incentive Stock
Options
or of Non-Qualified Stock Options, or what combination of
Incentive
Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options are being
exercised.
Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the
Option
Price (i) in cash, by certified check or money order, or
(ii) in the
form of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant (and
for
which the Participant has good title free and dear of any
liens and
encumbrances) based on the Fair Market Value of the shares
on the
date of exercise as determined by the Committee, or (iii) in
such
other form, or pursuant to such other arrangement for the
satisfaction of the Option Price, as the Committee may
accept.  For
purposes of this Agreement, "Fair Market Value" shall mean
the
average of the high and low prices of a share of Common
Stock in New
York Stock Exchange composite market transactions, as
reported by
the Wall Street journal, or if the Common Stock shall not
have been
reported on such date, on the first day prior thereto on
which the
Common Stock was reported.  No shares of Common Stock shall
be
issued until payment, as provided herein, therefor has been
made or
provided for.

          5.   Restriction on Transfer of Options.  Except
as
otherwise provided herein, the Options granted hereby are
not
transferable otherwise than by will or under the applicable
laws of
descent and distribution.  Non-Qualified Stock Options may
be
transferred (i) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order as
defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income
Security Act, or the rules thereunder or (ii) to the
Participant's
immediate family (i.e., the Employee's children,
grandchildren and
spouse), or to one or more trusts for the benefit of such
immediate
family members, or partnerships in which such family members
are the
only partners, provided that such transfer shall be
permitted only
if the Participant does not receive any consideration for
such
transfer and written notice of such proposed transfer and
the
details thereof shall have been furnished to the Committee
(any
Options transferred pursuant to this clause shall continue
to be
subject to the same terms and conditions that were
applicable to
such Options immediately prior to the transfer and a holder
thereof
shall be treated as a Participant hereunder).  During the
lifetime
of the Participant, Options may be exercised only by the
Participant
or the Participant's guardian or legal representative.  In
addition,
except to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the
Options shall
not be assigned, negotiated, pledged or hypothecated in any
way
(whether by operation of law or otherwise), and the Options
shall
not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
Except
to the extent permitted by this Agreement, upon any attempt
to
transfer, assign, negotiate, pledge or hypothecate the
Options, or
in the event of any levy upon the Options by reason of any
execution, attachment or similar process contrary to the
provisions
hereof, the Options shall immediately become null and void.

          6.   Termination of Employment.

               A. Termination by Reason of Death or
Disability. If
a Participant's Termination of Employment (as hereinafter
defined)
is by reason of death or Disability (as defined in the
Plan), any
Options held by such Participant may be exercised, to the
extent
exercisable at the Participant's termination, by the
Participant (or
the legal representative of the Participant's estate) at any
time
within a period of one (1) year from the date of such
termination or
until the expiration of the stated term of the Option,
whichever
period is the shorter.  For purposes of this Agreement,
"Termination
of Employment" means (1) a termination of service for
reasons other
than a military or personal leave of absence granted by the
Company
or a transfer of the Participant from or among the Company
and its
subsidiaries, as defined under Section 424(f) of the Code;
or (2)
when a subsidiary, with respect to which is employing a
Participant,
ceases to be a subsidiary, as defined under Section 424(f)
of the
Code.

               B. Termination for Cause.  Upon the
Termination of
Employment of the Participant for Cause, or if the Company
obtains
or discovers information after Termination of Employment
that such
Participant had engaged in conduct that would have justified
a
Termination of Employment for Cause during employment, all
outstanding Options of the Participant shall immediately be
canceled, provided, however, that the provisions of this
Section
6(B) shall cease to apply to any Options that are
outstanding at the
time of a Change of Control.  For purposes of this
Agreement,
"Cause" means that the Committee shall have determined that
any of
the following events has occurred: (1) an act of fraud,
embezzlement, misappropriation of business or theft
committed by the
Participant in the course of his or her employment, or any
intentional or gross negligent misconduct of the Participant
which
injures the business or reputation of the Company; (2)
intentional
or gross negligent damage committed by the Participant to
the
property of the Company; (3) the Participant's failure or
refusal to
perform the customary duties and responsibilities of his or
her
position with the Company; (4) the Participant's breach of
fiduciary
duty, or the making of a false representation, to the
Company; (5)
the Participant's material breach of any covenant, condition
or
obligation required to be performed by him or her pursuant
to the
Plan, this Option Agreement or any other agreement between
him or
her and the Company or the Participant's intentional or
gross
negligent violation of any material written policy of the
Company;
(6) the Participant's willful failure or refusal to act in
accordance with any specific lawful instructions of a
majority of
the Board of Directors of the Company; or (7) commission by
the
Participant of a felony or a crime involving moral
turpitude.

               C. Other Termination. If the Participant's
Termination of Employment is for any reason other than
death,
Disability, or Cause, any Options held by the Participant
may be
exercised, to the extent exercisable at the Participant's
termination, by the Participant at any time within a period
of 3
months from the date of such termination or until the
expiration of
the stated term of such Option, whichever period is shorter.

          7. Termination.  Unless terminated as provided
below or
otherwise pursuant to the Plan, each Incentive Stock Option
shall
expire on the tenth anniversary of this Agreement, and each
Non-
Qualified Stock Option shall expire on the tenth anniversary
of the
day after the date of this Agreement.  Any Options that were
not
exercisable by the Participant at the time of the
Participant's
Termination of Employment shall terminate and be null and
void.

          8. Rights as a Stockholder.  The Participant shall
have no
rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common
Stock
covered by the Options until the Participant shall have
become the
holder of record of the shares of Common Stock, and no
adjustments
shall be made for dividends in cash or other property,
distributions
or other rights in respect of any such shares of Common
Stock,
except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan.

          9. Provisions of Plan Control.  This Agreement is
subject
to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan,
including,
without limitations the amendment provisions thereof, and to
such
rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan
as may
be adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from
time to
time.  Any capitalized term used but not defined herein
shall have
the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.  The annexed
copy of
the Plan is incorporated herein by reference. If and to the
extent
that this Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the
terms,
conditions and provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall
control, and
this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly.

          10. Withholding of Taxes.  The Company shall have
the
right to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any
shares of
Common Stock, payment by the Participant of any Federal,
state or
local taxes required by law to be withheld.

          The Committee may permit any such withholding
obligation
to be satisfied by reducing the number of shares of Common
Stock
otherwise deliverable or by permitting the Participant to
deliver
shares of Common Stock which the Participant owns (free and
clear of
any liens and encumbrances). If the Participant is required
to file
reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect
to
securities of the Company the Participant may elect to have
a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock withheld or to
deliver
shares of Common Stock which the Participant owns to fulfil
such tax
obligations (hereinafter a "Withholding Election") only if
the
election complies with such conditions as are necessary to
prevent
the withholding or transfer of such shares from being
subject to
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  To the extent necessary
under
then current law, such conditions shall include the
following: (x)
the Withholding Election shall be subject to the disapproval
of the
Committee and (y) the Withholding Election is made (i)
during the
period beginning on the third business day following the
date of
release for publication of the quarterly or annual summary
statements of sales and earnings of the Company and ending
on the
twelfth business day following such date or is made in
advance but
takes effect during such period, (ii) at least six (6)
months prior
to the date of exercise of the Option, or (iii) during any
other
period in which a Withholding Election may be made under the
provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to the
Exchange Act.
Any fraction of a share of Common Stock required to satisfy
such tax
obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be
paid
instead in cash by the Participant

          11. Listing and Other Conditions.

          As long as the Common Stock is listed on a
national
securities exchange or system sponsored by a national
securities
association, the issue of any shares of Common Stock
pursuant to an
Option shall be conditioned upon such shares being listed on
such
exchange or system.  The Company shall have no obligation to
issue
such shares unless and until such shares are so listed, and
the
right to exercise any Option with respect to such shares
shall be
suspended until such listing has been effected.

          If at any time counsel to the Company shall be of
the
opinion that any sale or delivery of shares of Common Stock
pursuant
to an Option is or may in the circumstances be unlawful or
result in
the imposition of excise taxes under the statutes, rules or
regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company
shall have
no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any
application or to effect or to maintain any qualification or
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or
otherwise with respect to shares of Common Stock, and the
right to
exercise any Option shall be suspended until, in the opinion
of said
counsel, such sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not
result in
the imposition of excise taxes.

          Upon termination of any period of suspension under
this
Section 11, any Option affected by such suspension which
shall not
then have expired or terminated shall be reinstated as to
all shares
available before such suspension and as to shares which
would
otherwise have become available during the period of such
suspension, but no such suspension shall extend the term of
any
Option.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
contained
herein, no shares of Common Stock shall be delivered by the
Company
to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement until a Form S-
8
registration statement (or any successor form) shall have
become
effective and shall be current with respect to the shares
being sold
and delivered hereunder.

          12. Notices.  Any notice or communication given
hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given when
delivered in person, or by United States mail, to the
appropriate
party at the address set forth below (or such other address
as the

right to
terminate or modify the Participant's employment or
compensation.

employee is employed to terminate his employment
at any time.

to which the Company is a party.

          9.6  Governing Law.  This Plan and
actions taken in connection
 herewith shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of
New York (regardless of the law that might
otherwise govern under applicable New
York principles of conflict of laws).

          9.7  Construction.  Wherever any words
are used in this Plan in the
 masculine gender they shall be construed as
though they were also used in the feminine
gender in all cases where they would so apply, and
wherever any words are used herein
in the singular form they shall be construed as
though they were also used in the plural
form in all cases where they would so apply.

          9.8  Liability.  No member of the Board,
no employee of the Company
 and no member of the Committee (nor the Committee
itself) shall be liable for any act or
action hereunder, whether of omission or
commission, by any other member or employee
or by any agent to whom duties in connection with
the administration of the Plan have
been delegated or, except in circumstances
involving his bad faith, gross negligence or
fraud, for anything done or omitted to be done by
himself.  Consistent with applicable
law, members of the Board and the Committee will
be entitled to indemnfication for
any act or action hereunder, whether of omission
or commission, to the fullest extent
permitted by the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and By-Laws as now or hereinafter
in effect.

          9.9  Other Benefits.  No Award payment
under this Plan shall be
 deemed compensation for purposes of computing
benefits under any retirement plan of the
Company or its Affiliates nor affect any benefits
under any other benefit plan now or
subsequently in effect under which the
availability or amount of benefits is related to
the
level of compensation.

          9.10 Costs.  The Company shall bear all
expenses included in
 administering this Plan.

(1)  Due to the fact that the company's aggregate number of common stock
     equivalents is in excess of 20% of its outstanding common stock,
     primary and fully diluted earnings per share has been calculated using
     the modified treasury stock method for the three months ended
     June 30, 1994.

(2)  Earnings per share are not meaningful due to reorganization and
     revaluation entries and the issuance of 12 million shares of new
     common stock.
