NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Quaker State Corporation and Subsidiaries (unaudited)
1. In the opinion of management of Quaker State Corporation (the
company or Quaker State), the accompanying financial statements include
all adjustments which are necessary to a fair statement of the results for
such periods. All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements included as part of the 1994 annual report on Form 10-K.
2. On April 28, 1995, the company announced plans to restructure its
organization to integrate recent acquisitions, consolidate management and
administrative activities, and move its corporate headquarters and Motor
Oil Division to the Dallas, Texas area. The company plans to complete the
move by the first quarter of 1996. The pre-tax costs and expenses
associated with the restructuring and relocating the work force and
closing the headquarters facility in Oil City, Pennsylvania and its
administrative unit in Shreveport, Louisiana are currently estimated to
be $25 million. A charge of $15.8 million ($9.5 million after tax) was
recorded in the second quarter 1995, of which $9.3 million related
directly to the Motor Oil Division. As of September 30, 1995, the
reserve was $8.4 million.
3. On July 11, 1995, the company completed the acquisition of all the
stock of Slick 50, Inc. (Slick 50) for $22 million in cash and the
issuance of approximately 1.3 million shares of Quaker State capital
stock. In addition, the company paid approximately $11 million to satisfy
certain Slick 50 indebtedness outstanding prior to the closing. Under the
terms of the Merger Agreement, additional consideration may be payable
by the company for Slick 50 stock depending upon the merged company's
performance during the fiscal years ending December 31, 1996, 1997,
and 1998 but subject to offset for indemnification obligations of
Slick 50 stockholders under the Merger Agreement.
The source of funds used for cash consideration in the transaction and
the payment of Slick 50 indebtedness was borrowing under Quaker State's
$45 million Revolving Credit Agreement.
The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method and,
accordingly, the operating results of Slick 50 have been included in the
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of
acquisition.
The purchase price allocation to assets and liabilities is preliminary.
The acquisition has resulted in a preliminary excess of purchase price
over fair value of assets of approximately $49.1 million recorded in the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of September 30, 1995.
4. On August 9, 1995, the company sold most of the assets of its
Natural Gas Exploration and Production Division. Accordingly, the
operating results of Natural Gas Exploration and Production have been
reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1995. The December 31, 1994 Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The company recognized an after tax gain of $11.2 million from the sale of
these assets in the third quarter.
5. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
and 1994 of 39% and 38% for continuing operations is higher than the 35%
federal statutory rate due to the impact of state and foreign taxes.

6. The following schedule is prepared on a pro forma basis as though
Specialty and Westland had been acquired as of the beginning of 1994,
after including the impact of adjustments, such as amortization of
intangible assets, intercompany sales elimination and related tax effects.
The discontinued Insurance and Natural Gas Exploration and Production
operations have also been excluded.

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have
occurred if the acquisition and disposition had been in effect for the
periods presented. In addition, they are not intended to be a projection
of future results.
7. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis for all crude oil, the
majority of company refined petroleum and vehicular lighting products; and
on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis for other inventories. The reserve
to reduce the carrying value of inventories from FIFO basis to LIFO basis
amounted to $23.2 million at September 30, 1995, and $20.3 million at
December 31, 1994.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 certain inventory
quantities were reduced resulting in liquidations of LIFO inventory. The
effect of these liquidations was an increase in net income of $900,000 or
$.03 per share.

8. On May 25, 1995, the company's stockholders approved the Amendment
of Quaker State's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized
number of shares of Quaker State's capital stock from 37.5 million to 95
million shares.
9. In December 1993, the United States commenced a lawsuit against the
company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West
Virginia. The complaint alleges the company violated the federal Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act and the federal Clean Air Act at the Congo
refinery on various dates starting in 1980 and seeks civil penalties not
to exceed $25,000 per day for each violation. The company intends to
vigorously defend this lawsuit. However, the ultimate outcome of this
litigation cannot presently be determined.

In addition, the company has received notices from the EPA and others
that it is a "potentially responsible party" relative to certain waste
disposal sites identified by the EPA and may be required to share in the
cost of cleanup.
In April 1994, purported class actions were commenced in the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against the
company and two other oil companies. The complaints allege violations of
Section 1 of the Sherman Act. In July 1995, the United States District
Court certified the proceeding as a class action and denied the
defendants' motion for summary judgment. The company believes there is no
basis for the allegations in the complaint and intends to defend the
matter vigorously.
Contingent liabilities of an indeterminate amount exist in connection
with suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.
In the opinion of management, all matters discussed above are
adequately accrued for or covered by insurance, or, if not so provided
for, are without merit or the disposition is not anticipated to have a
material effect on the company's financial position; however, one or more
of these matters could have a material effect on future quarterly or
annual results of operations when resolved.
10. In March, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Standard No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" which establishes accounting
standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable
intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used and
for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed
of. The new Standard must be implemented in 1996. The company is
currently evaluating what effect, if any, this Standard will have on its
financial position and results of operations.
11. On October 23, 1995, the company sold $100 million of 6.625%
notes due 2005. The company used $56.5 million of the proceeds to prepay
the company's 8.73% Senior Notes due 2002. As a result of the prepayment,
the company will recognize an extraordinary charge in the fourth quarter
of $6.8 million ($4.1 million net of taxes). The remaining proceeds will
be used for general corporate purposes, acquisitions, capital expenditures
or the reduction of other indebtedness.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
--------------------------------------------------
Operations and Financial Condition
----------------------------------
The condensed consolidated financial statements, other financial
information and related notes for Quaker State Corporation (the company)
included in this Form 10-Q, should be read as an integral part of this
analysis.
The company reported net income of $15.3 million or $.47 per share for
the quarter ended September 30, 1995, compared to net income of $5.4 million or
$.19 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1994. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, the company reported net income of $17.7 million or
$.55 per share compared to $16.1 million or $.58 per share for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994. The weighted average shares of capital stock
outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased over 4.5
million shares compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994, primarily
as a result of issuing shares in connection with the acquisition of Specialty
Oil Companies (Specialty) and Westland Oil, Inc. (Westland) in September 1994
and the acquisition of Slick 50, Inc. (Slick 50) in July 1995. Sales and
operating revenues from continuing operations were $277.1 million and $774.3
million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to
$179.7 million and $509.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1994. Sales and operating revenues included $91.6 million and
$256.2 million from Specialty and Westland for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1995.
The quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 include $1.2
million and $17 million pretax restructuring charges related to the announced
relocation to the Dallas, Texas area. Total costs under the restructuring plan
are estimated to be $25 million (see note 2). Operating profits from
continuing operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
excluding restructuring charges, increased 42% and 35% to $13.4 million and
$38.2 million compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994.
On August 9, 1995, the company sold most of the assets of its Natural
Gas Exploration and Production Division. The company recognized an after tax
gain of $11.2 million in connection with the sale. Income from discontinued
operations was $11.3 million or $.34 per share, and $13.9 million or $.43 per
share for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $1.5
million or $.05 per share and $8.3 million or $.30 per share for the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Motor Oil Division operating profits, excluding restructuring charges
of $700,000 and $10 million, were $9.5 million and $22.3 million for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $4.7 million and
$13 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Revenues of $231.7 million and $631.2 million in these periods increased 77%
and 72% over 1994 and included the 1995 sales from the Specialty and Westland
companies that were purchased in the third quarter of 1994 and Slick 50, which
was acquired in the third quarter of 1995. Operating profit was favorably
impacted by the company's recent acquisition, a reduction in marketing costs
and improved refinery product margins due to higher sales prices for base
stocks, gasoline and fuel oil.
<PAGE> 10
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition, continued
Branded motor oil sales volumes decreased 9% and 2% for the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1995, reflecting an overall decline in
the motor oil category and strong promotional sales volumes in the third
quarter of 1994.
Q Lube reported third quarter operating profits of $2.4 million on
sales and operating revenues of $32.3 million compared to profits of $1.7
million on revenues of $30.5 million for the same period last year. Operating
profits were $6.6 million on sales and operating revenues of $92.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to profits of $4.5 million
on revenues of $84.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Year-to-date car counts in 1995 increased 6% and average per car sales were up
4% to account for the revenue and operating result improvements. Higher
advertising, depreciation and amortization expenses resulting from the
conversion of the fast lube outlets to the new Q Lube format partially offset
the improvement in operating results.
Truck-Lite operating profits for the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1995 were $1.4 million and $8.7 million compared to $2.7
million and $10.1 million for the third quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1994. Revenues were down 15% to $20.7 million and down 7% to $70.3 million
for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995. Lower sales
volume and negative product mix adversely affected operating results.
Automotive sales slowed down in 1995 as the overall car market has softened.
Management was able to reduce year-to-date operating expenses and other costs
by approximately $2.3 million to partially offset the slowdown in the business.
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 corporate
income was $1 million and $3.7 million compared to $800,000 and $2
million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994. Included in
corporate income is approximately $1.3 million of additional royalty payments
received for coal deliveries made by the purchaser of a long-term coal sales
agreement. Interest expense increased for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 as a result of the debt assumed in the acquisition of
Westland. As a result of lower salary and benefit expenses, corporate expenses
decreased 2% and 4% to $4.8 million and $13.9 million for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1995.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $100,000 from December 31,
1994. The increase was comprised of $900,000 of net cash flow provided from
operations, $9.7 million net cash provided by investing activities and $10.5
million net cash used in financing activities. Cash provided by operations
was impacted by additional working capital requirements and the loss of
operating cash flows from the insurance operations which were sold in the third
quarter of 1994.
<PAGE> 11
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition, continued
Cash provided by investing activities of $9.7 million is primarily due
to $62.8 million of proceeds from the sale of the Natural Gas Exploration and
Production Division assets, $31 million used in the acquisition of Slick 50
and capital expenditures of $26.1 million. Cash used in financing activities of
$10.5 million is primarily due to $9.6 million of dividend payments.
In April 1995, the company announced that the Board of Directors
approved a $25 million development project for the Red River port in
Shreveport, Louisiana which will become the company's lubricants manufacturing
and technical headquarters. The port development will include a blending,
packaging and warehousing facility in Shreveport, as well as a laboratory and
tank farm near the Red River. In addition, the Company plans to improve and
upgrade existing plant and facilities, and construct additional storage tanks
and bulk loading and unloading facilities near the Red River. The port
development project is subject to a number of conditions, including the
availability of state and local funding for land and certain infrastructure
which, to date, have not been finalized.
On May 25, 1995, the company's stockholders approved an amendment to the
company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of
shares of Quaker State's capital stock from 37.5 million to 95 million
shares.
On July 11, 1995, the company completed the acquisition of all the
stock of Slick 50 for $22 million in cash and the issuance of approximately 1.3
million shares of the company's capital stock. In addition, the company paid
approximately $11 million to satisfy certain Slick 50 indebtedness
outstanding prior to the closing. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement,
additional consideration may be payable by the company for Slick 50 stock
depending upon the merged company's performance during the fiscal years ending
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 but subject to offset for indemnification
obligations of Slick 50 stockholders under the Merger Agreement.
On October 4, 1995, the company terminated its revolving credit
agreement due June 30, 1998 and executed a new $45 million credit agreement
due September 28, 1996.
On October 23, 1995, the company sold $100 million of 6.625% notes due
2005. The company used $56.5 million of the proceeds to prepay the 8.73% Senior
Notes due 2002. As a result of the prepayment, the company will recognize an
extraordinary charge in the fourth quarter of 1995 of approximately $6.8
million ($4.1 million net of taxes). The remaining proceeds will be used for
general corporate purposes, acquisitions, capital expenditures or the reduction
of other indebtedness.
On October 26, 1995, the Board of Directors of the company declared a
quarterly dividend of $.10 per share payable December 15, 1995 to shareholders
of record as of November 15, 1995.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition, continued
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Standard
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of" which establishes accounting standards for the
impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill
related to those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. The new Standard must be
implemented in 1996. The company is currently evaluating what effect, if any,
this Standard will have on its financial position and results of operations.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
In its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, Quaker
State Corporation ("Quaker State") reported that in October 1993, Larry Tucker
and sixteen (16) other former salaried supervisory employees of Donaldson Mine
Company, a subsidiary of Quaker State's subsidiary, The Valley Camp Coal
Company ("Valley Camp"), instituted an action in the Circuit Court of Kanawha
County, West Virginia against Quaker State, Valley Camp, and Donaldson Mine
Company. The suit was subsequently removed to the United States District Court
for the Southern District of West Virginia. In October 1995, the claims of
eleven (11) of the plaintiffs were settled and dismissed for a nominal payment
and the court granted summary judgment dismissing all claims of the nonsettling
plaintiffs.
Item 5. Other Information
-----------------
On September 28, 1995, the Quaker State Board of Directors adopted a

entitles the registered holder to purchase from Quaker State one share of
Quaker State capital stock or, in certain circumstances, common stock of an
acquiring company, at one-half the market price of such common stock. The
Rights were issued on October 18, 1995 to stockholders of record on that date.

THE CREDITS
SECTION 2.1. COMMITMENTS TO LEND. During the Revolving
Credit Period, each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, to make loans to the Company from time to time in
amounts such that the aggregate principal amount of Loans by such Bank at any
one time outstanding shall not exceed the amount of its Commitment. Each
Borrowing under this Section shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any such Borrowing
may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments) and shall be made
from the several Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments.
Within the foregoing limits, the Company may borrow under this Section, prepay
Loans to the extent permitted by Section 2.10 and reborrow at any time during
the Revolving Credit Period under this Section.
SECTION 2.2. METHOD OF BORROWING. (a) The Company shall
give the Agent notice (a "Notice of Borrowing") not later than 10:30 A.M. (New
York City time) on (x) the date of each Base Rate Borrowing, (y) the second
Domestic Business Day before each CD Borrowing and (z) the third Euro-Dollar
Business Day before each Euro-Dollar Borrowing, specifying:
(i) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic
Business Day in the case of a Domestic Borrowing or a Euro-Dollar
Business Day in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing;
(ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;
27009/144/CA/ca
8
<PAGE> 13
(iii) whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to
bear interest initially at the Base Rate, a CD Rate or a Euro-Dollar
Rate; and
(iv) in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, the duration of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of
the definition of Interest Period.
(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall
promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank's ratable
share of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be
revocable by the Company.
(c) Not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the
date of each Borrowing, each Bank shall make available its ratable share of
such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York
City, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1. Unless the Agent
determines that any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been
satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Banks available
to the Company at the Agent's aforesaid address.
(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank
prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to
the Agent such Bank's share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such
Bank has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing
in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section and the Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so
made such share available to the Agent, such Bank and the Company severally
agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to the Company until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at
(i) in the case of the Company, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the
Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section
2.5 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank
shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall
constitute such Bank's Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement.
SECTION 2.3. NOTES. (a) The Loans of each Bank shall be
evidenced by a single Note payable to the order of such Bank for the account of
its Applicable Lending Office
27009/144/CA/ca
9
<PAGE> 14
in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Bank's
Loans.
(b) Each Bank may, by notice to the Company and the Agent,
request that its Loans of a particular type be evidenced by a separate Note in
an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans. Each
such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto with
appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that it evidences solely Loans of
the relevant type. Each reference in this Agreement to the "Note" of such Bank
shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as the
context may require.
(c) Upon receipt of each Bank's Note pursuant to Section
3.1(a), the Agent shall forward such Note to such Bank. Each Bank shall record
the date, amount and type of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of
each payment of principal made by the Company with respect thereto, and may, if
such Bank so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note,
endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to
evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then
outstanding; PROVIDED that the failure of any Bank to make any such recordation
or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Company hereunder or
under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Company so
to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation
of any such schedule as and when required.
SECTION 2.4. MATURITY OF LOANS. Each Loan shall mature,
and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the Maturity
Date.
SECTION 2.5. INTEREST RATES. (a) Each Base Rate Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day
from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal
to the Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 and, with
respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan converted to a CD Loan or
a Euro-Dollar Loan, on each date a Base Rate Loan is so converted. Any overdue
principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on
demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus
the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.
(b) Each CD Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day during
27009/144/CA/ca
10
<PAGE> 15
each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum
of the CD Margin for such day plus the Adjusted CD Rate applicable to such
Interest Period; PROVIDED that if any CD Loan shall, as a result of clause
(2)(b) of the definition of Interest Period, have an Interest Period of less
than 30 days, such CD Loan shall bear interest during such Interest Period at
the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans during such period. Such interest shall
be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such
Interest Period is longer than 90 days, at intervals of 90 days after the first
day thereof. Any overdue principal of or interest on any CD Loan shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal
to the sum of 2% plus the higher of (i) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans
for such day and (ii) the sum of the CD Margin plus the Adjusted CD Rate
applicable to such Loan at the date such payment was due.
The "Adjusted CD Rate" applicable to any Interest Period
means a rate per annum determined pursuant to the following formula:
[ CDBR ]*
ACDR = [ ---------- ] + AR
[ 1.00 - DRP ]
ACDR = Adjusted CD Rate
CDBR = CD Base Rate
DRP = Domestic Reserve Percentage
AR = Assessment Rate
__________
* The amount in brackets being rounded upward, if
necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%
The "CD Base Rate" applicable to any Interest Period is the
rate of interest determined by the Agent to be the prevailing rate per annum
bid at 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) (or as soon thereafter as practicable)
on the first day of such Interest Period by two or more New York certificate of
deposit dealers of recognized standing for the purchase at face value from the
CD Reference Bank of its certificates of deposit in an amount comparable to the
principal amount of the CD Loan of the CD Reference Bank to which such Interest
Period applies and having a maturity comparable to such Interest Period.
"Domestic Reserve Percentage" means for any day that
percentage (expressed as a decimal) which is in effect
27009/144/CA/ca
11
<PAGE> 16
on such day, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (or any successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement
(including without limitation any basic, supplemental or emergency reserves)
for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits
exceeding five billion dollars in respect of new non-personal time deposits in
dollars in New York City having a maturity comparable to the related Interest
Period and in an amount of $100,000 or more. The Adjusted CD Rate shall be
adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the
Domestic Reserve Percentage.
"Assessment Rate" means for any day the annual assessment
rate in effect on such day which is payable by a member of the Bank Insurance
Fund classified as adequately capitalized and within supervisory subgroup "A"
(or a comparable successor assessment risk classification) within the meaning
of 12 C.F.R. Section 327.4(a) (or any successor provision) to the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (or any successor) for such Corporation's (or
such successor's) insuring time deposits at offices of such institution in the
United States. The Adjusted CD Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as
of the effective date of any change in the Assessment Rate.
(c) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period
applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Dollar
Margin for such day plus the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate applicable
to such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest
Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than
three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof.
The "Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to
any Interest Period means a rate per annum equal to the quotient obtained
(rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (i)
the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate by (ii) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar
Reserve Percentage.
The "London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to any
Interest Period means the rate per annum at which deposits in dollars are
offered to the Euro-Dollar Reference Bank in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Euro-Dollar Business Days before the
first day of such Interest Period in an amount approximately equal to the
principal amount of the Euro-Dollar Loan of the Euro-Dollar Reference Bank to
which such Interest Period is
27009/144/CA/ca
12
<PAGE> 17
to apply and for a period of time comparable to such Interest Period.
"Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage" means for any day that
percentage (expressed as a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as
prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any
successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement for a member bank of
the Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits exceeding five
billion dollars in respect of "Eurocurrency liabilities" (or in respect of any
other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the
interest rate on Euro-Dollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions
of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of
any Bank to United States residents). The Adjusted London Interbank Offered
Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any
change in the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage.
(d) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar
Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate
per annum equal to the higher of (i) the sum of 2% plus the Euro-Dollar Margin
for such day plus the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the
next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (x) the rate per annum at which one day
(or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than three Euro-Dollar Business
Days, then for such other period of time not longer than three months as the
Agent may select) deposits in dollars in an amount approximately equal to such
overdue payment due to the Euro-Dollar Reference Bank are offered to the Euro-
Dollar Reference Bank in the London interbank market for the applicable period
determined as provided above by (y) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve
Percentage (or, if the circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) of Section
8.1 shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day) and (ii) the sum of 2% plus the
Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate
applicable to such Loan at the date such payment was due.
(e) The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable
to the Loans hereunder. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and
the participating Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its
determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

shall accrue from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of

SECTION 2.7. OPTIONAL TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF
COMMITMENTS. During the Revolving Credit Period, the Company may, upon notice

Thereafter, the Company may from time to time elect to change or continue the
type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the
provisions of Article 8), as follows:
(i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Company may elect
to convert such Loans to CD Loans as of any Domestic Business Day or
to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day;
(ii) if such Loans are CD Loans, the Company may elect to
convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans or elect to

subject to Section 2.12 in the case of any such conversion or
continuation effective on any day other than the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable to such Loans; and
(iii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Company may
elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or CD Loans or elect to
continue such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest
Period, subject to Section 2.12 in the case of any such conversion or
continuation effective on any day other than the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable to such Loans.
27009/144/CA/ca

<PAGE> 19
Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a "Notice of Interest
Rate Election") to the Agent not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on
the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before the conversion or continuation
selected in such notice is to be effective (unless the relevant Loans are to be

continued as CD Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period, in which case
such notice shall be delivered to the Agent not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York

continuation is to be effective). A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if
it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of
the relevant Group of Loans; PROVIDED that (i) such portion is allocated
ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to which
such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are
each $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000.

notice applies;

such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable
clause of subsection (a) above;

Rate Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period
applicable thereto; and

Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such
additional Interest Period.
Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall
comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.
(c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from
the Company pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Agent shall promptly notify
each Bank of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be
revocable by the Company.
27009/144/CA/ca

<PAGE> 20
(d) An election by the Company to change or continue the

to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.
Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of
the several Banks included in such Group.
(b) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this
Section, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and
of such Bank's ratable share of such prepayment and such notice shall not
thereafter be revocable by the Company.

Company shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and
of fees hereunder, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date
when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to
the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1. The Agent will promptly
distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the
Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Domestic Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a
Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of,
or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a

next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day
falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof
shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar
27009/144/CA/ca

operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such
extended time.
(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the
Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder
that the Company will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that
the Company has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each
Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and
to the extent that the Company shall not have so made such payment, each Bank
shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such
Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the
Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
SECTION 2.12. FUNDING LOSSES. If the Company makes any
payment of principal with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or any Fixed Rate Loan

the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of an
applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.5(d), or if the Company fails to
borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Fixed Rate Loans after notice has been
given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.2(b), 2.10(b) or 2.8(c) the
Company shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting
loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in
the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in
obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding
loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure
to borrow, prepay, convert or continue, PROVIDED that such Bank shall have
delivered to the Company a certificate as to the amount of such loss or
expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error.
SECTION 2.13. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. Interest

ARTICLE 8
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
SECTION 8.1. BASIS FOR DETERMINING INTEREST RATE INADEQUATE
OR UNFAIR. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any CD
Loan or Euro-Dollar Loan:
(a) the Agent is advised by the Reference Bank that
deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered
to the Reference Bank in the relevant market for such Interest Period,
or
(b) Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate principal
amount of the affected Loans advise the Agent that the Adjusted CD
Rate or the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate, as the case may
be, as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Banks of funding their CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans,
as the case may be, for such Interest Period,
the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the Banks,
whereupon until the Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to
make CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may be, or to continue or
convert outstanding Loans as or into CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case
may be, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding CD Loan or Euro-Dollar
Loan, as the case may be, shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last
day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Company
notifies the Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any
Fixed Rate Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given
that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made
as a Base Rate Borrowing.
SECTION 8.2. ILLEGALITY. If, on or after the date of this
Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, 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 any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or
impossible for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain
or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so notify the
27009/144/CA/ca
25
<PAGE> 30
Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the
Company, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Company and the Agent that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of
such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Loans into
Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent
pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar
Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice
and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Bank. If such notice is given, each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank then
outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (a) on the last day
of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loan if such
Bank may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day or (b)
immediately if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to
maintain and fund such Loan to such day.
SECTION 8.3. INCREASED COST AND REDUCED RETURN. (a) If on
or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, 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 any Bank (or its Applicable Lending
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify
or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such
requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
but excluding (i) with respect to any CD Loan any such requirement included in
an applicable Domestic Reserve Percentage and (ii) with respect to any
Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement with respect to which such Bank is
entitled to compensation during the relevant interest period under Section ?),
special deposit, insurance assessment (excluding, with respect to any CD Loan,
any such requirement reflected in an applicable Assessment Rate) or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any
Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for
certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition
affecting its Fixed Rate Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Fixed Rate
Loans and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such
Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate
Loan, or to reduce the amount of
27009/144/CA/ca
26
<PAGE> 31
any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office)
under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount
deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such
Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased
cost or reduction.
(b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date
hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, 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 any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, (including any determination by any such authority, central
bank or comparable agency that, for purposes of capital adequacy requirements,
the Commitments hereunder do not constitute commitments with an original
maturity of one year or less) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such
Bank's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its
Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive
(taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15
days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Company shall
pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank
(or its Parent) for such reduction.
(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Company and the
Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof,
which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will
designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment
of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any
Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional
amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
SECTION 8.4. TAXES. (a) For the purposes of this Section
8.4, the following terms have the following meanings:
27009/144/CA/ca
27
<PAGE> 32
"Taxes" means any and all present or future taxes, duties,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings with respect to any
payment by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, EXCLUDING (i) in the case of each Bank and
the Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed
on it, by a jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Agent (as the
case may be) is organized or in which its principal executive office is located
or, in the case of each Bank, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located
and (ii) in the case of each Bank, any United States withholding tax imposed on
such payments but only to the extent that such Bank is subject to United States
withholding tax at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement.
"Other Taxes" means any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or similar charges or
levies, which arise from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or under
any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to,
this Agreement or any Note.
(b) Any and all payments by the Company to or for the
account of any Bank or the Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made
without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; PROVIDED that, if the Company
shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such
payments, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section) such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions, (iii) the
Company shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority
or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Company shall
furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.1, the original
or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(c) The Company agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Agent
for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable
under this Section) paid by such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) and any
liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or
with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after
such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.
27009/144/CA/ca
28
<PAGE> 33
(d) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and
delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature
pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case
of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by
the Company (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so),
shall provide the Company and the Agent with Internal Revenue Service form 1001
or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an
income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which exempts the Bank
from United States withholding tax or reduces the rate of withholding tax on
payments of interest for the account of such Bank or certifying that the income
receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct
of a trade or business in the United States.
(e) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed
to provide the Company or the Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to
Section 8.4(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or
regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was
required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification
under Section 8.4(b) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States;
PROVIDED that if a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced
rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to
deliver a form required hereunder, the Company shall take such steps as such
Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.
(f) If the Company is required to pay additional amounts to
or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section, then such Bank will
change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the judgment of
such Bank, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment
which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such
Bank.
SECTION 8.5. BASE RATE LOANS SUBSTITUTED FOR AFFECTED FIXED
RATE LOANS. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make, or convert outstanding
Loans to, Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2 or (ii)
any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or 8.4 with respect to its
CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans and the Company shall, by at least five
Euro-Dollar Business Days' prior notice to such Bank through the Agent, have
elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then,
27009/144/CA/ca
29
<PAGE> 34
unless and until such Bank notifies the Company that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:
(a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as
(or continued as or converted into) CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as
the case may be, shall instead be Base Rate Loans (on which interest
and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related
Fixed Rate Loans of the other Banks); and
(b) after each of its CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the
case may be, has been repaid (or converted to a Base Rate Loan), all
payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such
Fixed Rate Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans
instead.
If such Bank notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice no longer apply, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall
be converted into a CD Loan or Euro-Dollar Loan, as the case may be, on the
first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related CD
Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks.

proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of
principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by such other Bank,
the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such
participations in the Notes held by the other Banks, and such other adjustments

any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to
apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the
Company other than its indebtedness hereunder. The Company agrees, to the
fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder
of a participation in a Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing

participation.
SECTION 9.5. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS . Any provision of
this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such
amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Required
Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the

the Banks, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a
ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks) or subject any Bank to any
additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any

prior written consent of all Banks.

other institutions (each a "Participant") participating interests in its
Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a
Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice
to the Company and the Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the
performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Company and the Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such
Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to
which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such
Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations
of the Company hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve
any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
PROVIDED that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not

Participant. The Company agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent
provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article

other institutions (each an "Assignee") all, or a proportionate part
(equivalent to an initial Commitment of not less than $5,000,000) of all, of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and such
Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment
and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto executed
by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to) the subscribed
consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the
Agent; PROVIDED that if an Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Bank or
was a Bank immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent shall be
required. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such
Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price
agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a
Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a
Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument
27009/144/CA/ca
33

party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to
this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Agent and the Company shall make
appropriate arrangements so that, if required, a new Note is issued to the
Assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Bank shall
pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the

United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Company
and the Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of
any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.4.
(d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. No
such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations
hereunder.
(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any
Bank's rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
8.3 or 8.4 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to
the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Company's prior
written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4
requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under
certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such
greater payment did not exist.
SECTION 9.7. COLLATERAL. Each of the Banks represents to
the Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon
any "margin stock" (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension
or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.
SECTION 9.8. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.
This Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York. The Company hereby submits to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City
for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now
or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in

be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto
were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement

OPINION OF
COUNSEL FOR THE BORROWER
________________, 1995
To the Banks and the Agent
Referred to Below
c/o Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
of New York, as Agent
60 Wall Street
New York, New York 10260
Dear Sirs:
We have acted as counsel for Quaker State Corporation (the
"Borrower") in connection with the Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement")
dated as of September 29, 1995 among the Borrower, the banks listed on the
signature pages thereof, and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as
Agent. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein
defined. This opinion is being rendered to you at the request of our client
pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Credit Agreement.
We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records,
certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such
other investigations of fact and law as we have deemed necessary or advisable
for purposes of this opinion.
Upon the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has all corporate
powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and
approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted.
27009/144/CA/ca
<PAGE> 48
2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of
the Credit Agreement and the Notes are within the corporate powers of the
Borrower, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require
no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or
official and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of
applicable law or regulation or of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws
of the Borrower or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or
other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or result
in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries.
3. The Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding
agreement of the Borrower and each Note constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Borrower, in each case enforceable in accordance with its
terms except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity.
4. Except as set forth in the Company's reports filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, there is no action, suit or proceeding
pending against, or to the best of our knowledge threatened against or
affecting, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court or
arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official, in which there is a
reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could materially adversely
affect the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of
operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a
whole, or which in any manner draws into question the validity of the Credit
Agreement or the Notes.
5. Each of the Borrower's material corporate Subsidiaries is
a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation, and has all corporate powers and all material
governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry
on its business as now conducted.
Very truly yours,

FOR THE AGENT
________________, 1995
To the Banks and the Agent
Referred to Below
c/o Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
of New York, as Agent
60 Wall Street
New York, New York 10260
Dear Sirs:
We have participated in the preparation of the Credit
Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated as of September 29, 1995 among Quaker
State Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), the banks listed on
the signature pages thereof (the "Banks"), and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of
New York, as Agent (the "Agent"), and have acted as special counsel for the
Agent for the purpose of rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 3.1(c) of
the Credit Agreement. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as
therein defined.
We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records,
certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such
other investigations of fact and law as we have deemed necessary or advisable
for purposes of this opinion.
We have assumed that the execution, delivery and performance
by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement and the Notes are within the Borrower's
corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action.
Upon the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that
the Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and
27009/144/CA/ca
<PAGE> 50
binding agreement of the Borrower and each Note constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Borrower, in each case enforceable in accordance with its
terms except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity.
We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and the
foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the
federal laws of the United States of America. In giving the foregoing opinion,
we express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of any law of any jurisdiction
(except the State of New York) in which any Bank is located which limits the
rate of interest that such Bank may charge or collect.
This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the
above matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose
or relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent.

WHEREAS, this Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the

portion of its Commitment thereunder in an amount equal to $__________ (the
"Assigned Amount"), together with a corresponding portion of its outstanding

the corresponding obligations from the Assignor on such terms;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the
mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS. All capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit
Agreement.
27009/144/CA/ca

<PAGE> 52
SECTION 2. ASSIGNMENT. The Assignor hereby assigns and sells
to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement to
the extent of the Assigned Amount, and the Assignee hereby accepts such
assignment from the Assignor and assumes all of the obligations of the Assignor
under the Credit Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Amount, including the
purchase from the Assignor of the corresponding portion of the principal amount
of the Loans made by the Assignor outstanding at the date hereof. Upon the
execution and delivery hereof by the Assignor, the Assignee, [the Borrower and
the Agent] and the payment of the amounts specified in Section 3 required to be
paid on the date hereof (i) the Assignee shall, as of the date hereof, succeed
to the rights and be obligated to perform the obligations of a Bank under the
Credit Agreement with a Commitment in an amount equal to the Assigned Amount,
and (ii) the Commitment of the Assignor shall, as of the date hereof, be

Agreement which is for the account of the other party hereto, it shall receive
the same for the account of such other party to the extent of such other
party's interest therein and shall promptly pay the same to such other party.
____________________
1 Amount should combine principal together with accrued interest and
breakage compensation, if any, to be paid by the Assignee, net of any
portion of any upfront fee to be paid by the Assignor to the Assignee. It
may be preferable in an appropriate case to specify these amounts
generically or by formula rather than as a fixed sum.
