PART I
ITEM I. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Kaneb Pipe Line Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Delaware limited
partnership formed in September 1989 to acquire, own and operate the refined
petroleum products pipeline business previously conducted by Kaneb Pipe Line
Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Kaneb Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Kaneb"). The Partnership's
pipeline assets and operations and liquids terminaling business ("ST") are owned
and conducted, directly or indirectly, by Kaneb Pipe Line Operating Partnership
("KPOP"), in which the Partnership holds a 99% limited partner interest. The
Company serves as the general partner of both the Partnership and KPOP and the
Company's current management conducts the Partnership's business (see Item 10.
Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant).
The Partnership is engaged, through its operating subsidiaries, in the
refined petroleum products pipeline business and the independent terminaling of
petroleum products and specialty liquids.
PRODUCTS PIPELINE BUSINESS
Introduction
The pipeline business consists primarily of the transportation, as a
common carrier, of refined petroleum products in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South
Dakota and North Dakota, as well as related terminaling activities (the
"Pipeline"). The acquisition of the assets of Wyco Pipe Line Company ("Wyco") in
February 1995 increased the Partnership's pipeline business in South Dakota and
expanded it into Wyoming and Colorado. None of the results for 1994 include Wyco
which is described subsequently.
The Pipeline is an integrated pipeline transporting refined petroleum
products, including propane, received from refineries in southeast Kansas, or
from other connecting pipelines, to terminals in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South
Dakota and North Dakota and to receiving pipeline connections in Kansas.
Shippers on the Pipeline obtain refined petroleum products from refineries
connected to the Pipeline directly or through other pipelines. Such refineries
obtain crude oil primarily from producing areas in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
Five connecting pipelines deliver propane from gas processing plants in Texas,
New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas to the Pipeline for shipment.
The Pipeline's revenues are based on volumes shipped and the distances
over which such volumes are transported. The following table reflects the total
volume and barrel miles of refined petroleum products shipped and total
operating revenues earned by the Pipeline for each of the periods indicated.

<PAGE>
The mix of refined petroleum products delivered varies seasonally, with
gasoline demand peaking in early summer, diesel fuel demand peaking in late
summer and propane demand higher in the fall. In addition, weather conditions in
the geographic areas served by the Pipeline affect the demand for and the mix of
the refined petroleum products delivered through the Pipeline, although
historically any impact on the volumes shipped has been short-term. Tariffs
charged shippers for transportation do not vary according to the type of
products delivered.
The following table sets forth, in thousands of barrels, the volumes of
gasoline, diesel and fuel oil, propane and other refined petroleum products
transported by the Pipeline during the periods indicated.

</TABLE>
In October, 1991, two single-use pipelines were acquired from Calnev Pipe
Line Company for $2.65 million. Each system, one of which is located in
Umatilla, Oregon and the other in Rawlins, Wyoming, supplies diesel fuel to
Union Pacific Railroad fueling facilities under contracts expiring in October
1996. Such contracts are renewable thereafter for successive two year terms
unless canceled by either party. The Oregon line is fully automated and the
Wyoming line requires minimal start-up assistance, which is provided by the
railroad. In May 1993, KPOP began operating a newly constructed single-use
pipeline near Pasco, Washington. For the year ended December 31, 1994, the three
systems combined transported a total of 2.8 million barrels of diesel fuel,
representing an aggregate of $1.2 million in revenues.
Pipeline Operations
The Pipeline is a 2,075 mile underground pipeline network that transports
refined liquid petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil
and propane. Centrifugal pumps at intervals along the Pipeline overcome pressure
reductions due to friction loss and assure efficient movement of products
through the Pipeline. Products are transported primarily for refiners, marketers
and distributors of such products. The Pipeline has been constructed and is
maintained consistent with applicable federal, state and local laws and
regulations, standards prescribed by the American Petroleum Institute and
accepted industry practice.
Except for the three single-use lines and certain ethanol facilities, all
of the Partnership's pipeline operations constitute common carrier operations
and are subject to federal tariff regulation. Also, certain of its intrastate
common carrier operations are subject to state tariff regulation. Common carrier
activities are those under which transportation through the Pipeline is
available at published tariffs filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("FERC") in the case of interstate shipments, or the Kansas
Corporation Commission in the case of intrastate shipments in Kansas, to any
shipper of refined petroleum products who requests such services and satisfies
the conditions and specifications for transportation. For a description of the
federal and state tariff regulations applicable to the common carrier
transportation activities of the Partnership, see "---Regulation".
The Partnership has not engaged, nor does it currently intend to engage,
in the merchant function of buying and selling refined petroleum products.
2
<PAGE>
In general, a shipper of refined petroleum products on the Pipeline
acquires refined petroleum products from refineries connected to the Pipeline,
or, if such shipper already owns the refined petroleum products, delivers such
refined petroleum products to the Pipeline from those refineries or through
pipelines that connect with the Pipeline. Tariffs for such transportation are
charged to shippers based upon transportation from the origination point on the
Pipeline to the point of delivery. Such tariffs also include charges for
terminaling and storage of product at Pipeline terminals. Pipelines are
generally the lowest cost method for intermediate and long-haul overland
transportation of refined petroleum products.
Each shipper is required to supply KPOP with a notice of shipment
indicating sources of products and destinations. All shipments are tested to
insure compliance with Pipeline specifications. Shippers are usually invoiced by
sight draft by KPOP immediately upon the product entering the Pipeline.
The operations of the Pipeline also include 16 truck loading terminals
through which refined petroleum products are delivered to petroleum transport
trucks. The following table shows, with respect to each of such terminals, its
location, number of tanks, storage capacity in barrels and truck capacity.
Except as indicated in the notes to the table, each terminal is owned by KPOP.

The Pipeline operations include intermediate storage facilities consisting
of 13 storage tanks at El Dorado, Kansas and 10 storage tanks at McPherson,
Kansas with aggregate capacities of 388,041 and 534,135 barrels, respectively.
During 1994, approximately 53% of the Pipeline's deliveries were made through
3
<PAGE>
its terminals and approximately 47% were made to other pipelines and customer
owned storage tanks. Storage of product at terminals pending delivery is
considered by the Partnership to be an integral part of the product delivery
service of the Pipeline. Shippers generally store refined petroleum products for
less than one week. Ancillary services, including injection of shipper-furnished
and generic additives, are available at each terminal.
Description of Pipeline
Construction of the Pipeline commenced in the 1950's with lines from
southern Kansas to Geneva, Nebraska. During the 1960's, the Pipeline was
expanded north to its present terminus at Jamestown, North Dakota. In 1981, the
North Platte line was built and, in 1982, the 16" line from McPherson, Kansas to
Geneva, Nebraska was laid. In 1984, the Partnership acquired a 6" pipeline from
Champlin Oil Company. A portion of this 6" line is the line running south
through Superior, Nebraska, to Hutchinson, Kansas. The other end of the line
runs northeast approximately 175 miles crossing the main pipeline at Osceola,
Nebraska, through a terminal at Columbus, Nebraska, and later crossing and
interconnecting with the Yankton/Milford line to terminate at Rock Rapids, Iowa.
KPOP owns the 2,075 mile Pipeline except for the 203 mile North Platte
Line, which is held under a capitalized lease that expires at the end of 1998
and that provides rights to renew the lease for five years. KPOP has the option
to purchase the North Platte Line at the end of the lease term for approximately
$5 million. If such option is not exercised, the lessor can require KPOP to
purchase such line at a lower price. KPOP also owns 235 product distribution
tanks with total storage capacity of approximately 3.2 million barrels located
at 16 distribution terminals in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and North
Dakota and 23 product tanks with total storage capacity of approximately 922,000
barrels at its tank farm installations at McPherson and El Dorado, Kansas. The
Pipeline further consists of six origin pump stations at refineries in Kansas
and 38 booster pump stations along the system in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South
Dakota and North Dakota. The system uses distribution terminals, various office
and warehouse facilities, and an extensive quality control laboratory. The
Partnership leases office space for its operating headquarters in Wichita,
Kansas.
To prolong the useful life of the Pipeline, routine preventive maintenance
is performed. Such maintenance includes cathodic protection to prevent external
corrosion and inhibitors for internal corrosion, periodic internal inspection of
the Pipeline and frequent patrols of the Pipeline rights-of-way. The Pipeline is
patrolled at regular intervals to identify equipment or activities by third
parties, that, if left unchecked, could result in encroachment of the Pipeline
and other problems. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ("SCADA"), a remote
supervisory control software program, continuously monitors the entire Pipeline
system for operational control from the Wichita office. The program monitors
quantities of refined petroleum products injected in and delivered through the
Pipeline, except at two continuously manned locations, as well as pressure and
temperature variations through the Pipeline and automatically signals any
deviation from normal operations that require attention. Portions of the system
can be shut down by remote control. The program is fully operational throughout
the Pipeline.
In addition to the maintenance described above, routine maintenance is
also performed on the terminal and storage facilities associated with the
Pipeline. Such terminal and storage facilities also include automatic tank alarm
systems.
Demand for and Sources of Refined Petroleum Products
The Partnership's pipeline business depends in large part on (i) the level
of demand for refined petroleum products in the markets served by the Pipeline
and (ii) the ability and willingness of refiners and marketers having access to
the Pipeline to supply such demand by deliveries through the Pipeline.
4
<PAGE>
Most of the refined petroleum products delivered through the Pipeline are
ultimately used in agricultural operations, including fuel for farm equipment,
irrigation systems, trucks transporting crops and crop drying facilities. Demand
for refined petroleum products for agricultural use, and the relative mix of
products required, is affected by weather conditions in the markets served by
the Pipeline. The agricultural sector is also affected by government
agricultural policies and crop prices. Although periods of drought suppress
agricultural demand for some refined petroleum products, particularly those used
for fueling farm equipment, during such times the demand for fuel for irrigation
systems often increases.
The Pipeline is also dependent upon adequate levels of production of
refined petroleum products by refineries connected to the Pipeline. The
refineries are, in turn, dependent upon adequate supplies of suitable grades of
crude oil. Such refineries obtain crude oil from producing fields located
primarily in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and, to a much lesser extent, from
other domestic or foreign sources. If operations at any one refinery were
discontinued, the Partnership believes (assuming unchanged demand for refined
petroleum products in markets served by the Pipeline) that the effects thereof
would be short-term in nature, and the Partnership's business would not be
materially adversely affected over the long term because such discontinued
production could be replaced by other refineries in southeast Kansas having
excess refinery capacity or by other sources. Three refineries, located at El
Dorado, Wichita and Augusta, Kansas, operated by Coastal Refining and Marketing,
Inc. ("Coastal") were closed down during 1993.
The majority of the refined petroleum product transported through the
Pipeline is produced at three refineries in southeast Kansas located at
McPherson, El Dorado and Arkansas City, Kansas and operated by National
Cooperative Refinery Association ("NCRA"), Texaco, Inc. ("Texaco") and Total
Petroleum, Inc. ("Total"), respectively. These refineries with direct
connections to the Pipeline shipped an aggregate of 29.7 million barrels of
refined petroleum products through the Pipeline in 1994. One refinery accounted
for approximately 54% of such amount.
The Pipeline also has direct access by third party pipelines to four other
refineries in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas and to Gulf Coast supplies of products
through a connecting pipeline which receives products from a pipeline
originating on the Gulf Coast. Five connecting pipelines deliver propane from
gas processing plants in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas to the Pipeline
for shipment.
Wyco Pipeline Acquisition - Subsequent Event
Effective February 24, 1995, KPOP acquired the refined petroleum product
pipeline assets of Wyco Pipe Line Company ("Wyco") for $27.1 million in cash
financed by a 7 year loan from three insurance companies. The assets consist of
approximately 550 miles of pipeline and four truck loading terminals located in
Wyoming, South Dakota and Colorado. On a pro forma basis for the year ended
December 31, 1994, Wyco would account for approximately 14.8% of the
Partnership's revenues.
The pipeline, previously jointly owned by subsidiaries of GATX Terminals
Corporation and Amoco Pipe Line Company, originates at Casper, Wyoming where it
is connected to Sinclair's Little America refinery. It also receives product at
Strouds Station, Wyoming, a short distance from Casper, through a connection
with the Seminoe Pipe Line bringing barrels down from the Billings, Montana
refineries. From Strouds, the 8" main line continues easterly to Douglas
Junction where a 6" lateral line branches off to the Rapid City, South Dakota
terminal approximately 190 miles away. The Rapid City terminal has two bottom
loading truck racks and 268,506 barrels of tankage. The Rapid City terminal also
receives product from Wyoming Refining's Newcastle, Wyoming refinery through
their pipeline which enters the Wyco pipeline just before the Wyoming/South
Dakota border near Mule Creek, Wyoming.
From Douglas Junction the main 8" line continues southward to a truck
loading terminal at Cheyenne, Wyoming. At Cheyenne, Wyco can receive product
from the Frontier refinery and can deliver product to the Cheyenne Pipe Line.
The Cheyenne terminal is a one spot bottom loading truck rack with 385,964
5
<PAGE>
barrels of tankage. From Cheyenne, Wyoming the Wyco 8" line extends south into
Colorado to Wyco's Dupont terminal near Denver. DuPont, Wyco's largest terminal,
has 6 bottom loading truck lanes with vapor recovery and 756,948 barrels of
storage. At Denver, through its Commerce City station, Wyco can receive and
transfer product to the Total Petroleum and Conoco Oil refineries and the
Phillips Petroleum terminal. From Commerce City, a 6" line continues south 90
miles to the final terminal at Fountain, Colorado. The Fountain terminal has 5
bottom loading truck lanes and 389,545 barrels of tankage.
Unlike the KPOP service area which is largely agricultural, Wyco serves
the growing Denver and northeastern Colorado markets. Wyco also supplies the jet
fuel for Ellsworth Air Force Base at Rapid City. Wyco has a relatively small
number of shippers, who, with only a few exceptions, are also shippers on KPOP's
system.
The Wyco pipeline system is the nearest pipeline parallelling the KPOP
system to the west. The KPOP North Platte line which terminates in western
Nebraska is approximately 200 miles east of Wyco's Cheyenne terminal. The small
Cheyenne Pipe Line which moves from west to east connects Wyco at Cheyenne,
Wyoming with North Platte, Nebraska, although that line has been deactivated
from Sidney, Nebraska (approximately 100 miles from Cheyenne) to North Platte.
Contamination resulting from spills or releases of refined petroleum
products are not unusual within the petroleum industry. Remediation efforts are
ongoing at Wyco's Dupont terminal and will be required at the three other Wyco
terminals and one pump station. In the course of acquisition negotiations,
KPOP's regulatory group and their outside environmental consultants agreed upon
the extent and costs of these required remediations. KPOP has agreed to
implement the agreed remediation plans at these specific sites over the next
five years in return for the payment by Wyco of the estimated costs thereof. At
the closing, Wyco paid $1,312,000 to KPOP to cover the discounted future costs
of these remediations. Wyco has also agreed to indemnify KPOP for up to
$2,950,000 of the unknown environmental liabilities which occurred prior to the
closing after KPOP has paid the first $150,000 and shared, on an equal basis,
the next $900,000 of such expenses with Wyco.
Wyco is an interstate pipeline and thus subject to regulation by the FERC
as well as by Wyoming and Colorado on its intrastate rates. It is subject to the
same regulations of other governmental agencies such as the Department of
Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency as KPOP. Therefore, the
following sections in regard to regulatory matters and the application of
certain laws and regulations of interstate pipelines apply equally to the Wyco
system.
Competition and Business Considerations
The Partnership provides common carrier transportation services through
the Pipeline at posted tariffs. Demand for transportation services by the
Pipeline arises, ultimately, from demand for refined petroleum products in the
markets it serves. See "---Demand for and Sources of Refined Petroleum
Products". The Partnership's business will, therefore, be subject to many
factors beyond its control.
The Pipeline's major competitor is an independent regulated common carrier
pipeline system owned by The Williams Companies ("Williams") which operates
approximately 100 miles east of and parallel with the Pipeline. This competing
pipeline system is a substantially more extensive system than the Pipeline.
Furthermore, Williams and its affiliates have capital and financial resources
substantially greater than those of the Partnership. Competition with Williams
is based primarily on transportation charges, quality of customer service and
proximity to end users although refined product pricing at either the origin or
terminal point on a pipeline may outweigh transportation costs. Fifteen of the
Pipeline's 16 delivery terminals are in direct competition with Williams'
terminals located within two to 145 miles.
6
<PAGE>
Upon the expiration of a five year settlement agreement pursuant to which
its tariffs had been frozen, Williams filed a comprehensive new tariff on
January 16, 1990. The filing proposed a tariff design for the future which would
allow Williams substantial flexibility to raise or lower various rates without
regulatory review and specifically provided increases in rates to many
destinations, decreases in rates to other destinations, volume incentive rates
at some terminals and rebates for shipments into certain counties from specified
terminals. Some counties in which rebates would apply lie in the traditional
service area of the Pipeline. The Partnership intervened in the Williams tariff
proceeding before the FERC and protested the rebates. Nine shippers also
intervened or protested the Williams filing.
On February 15, 1990, FERC suspended the Williams tariff for the maximum
statutory period of seven months. Williams chose a bifurcated proceeding under
the authority of the FERC's ruling in the Buckeye Pipeline Company case (see "--
Regulation"). Under the first phase of such a proceeding, a determination was to
be made whether Williams had market power in its various markets. Discrimination
issues were also scheduled to be determined during the first phase. Ultimately
Williams would be required to prove that its tariff rates are just, reasonable
and non-discriminatory. The tariff became effective September 16, 1990 subject
to refund depending on the outcome of the FERC proceedings. A hearing was held
before an administrative law judge of the FERC from June 3 to August 9, 1991 on
the first phase of the proceeding. On January 24, 1992 the judge issued an
initial decision which determined that Williams had market power in 10 of 32
markets in which it operated and deferred most of the other issues involved to
the second phase of the case on the grounds that they involved cost issues. All
active parties have filed briefs and exceptions to the judge's initial decision.
On July 27, 1994, the Commission issued its Opinion and Order on the Initial
Decision. The Commission determined that Williams had market power in 19 of 32
markets. The Commission also denied Williams' motion proposing rate standards to
apply to Phase II of the proceeding and directed the Administrative Law Judge to
proceed with Phase II for the purpose of establishing base rates in the 19
markets where Williams had market power. All discrimination issues were also to
be decided in Phase II. Williams filed its direct testimony in Phase II on
January 23, 1995. The discovery phase of the proceeding is just starting. During
the pendency of the proceeding, Williams has instituted other tariff changes,
which have been permitted to go into effect subsequent to their suspension,
subject to refund depending on the final outcome of the 1990 FERC tariff
proceedings.
Because pipelines are generally the lowest cost method for intermediate
and long-haul movement of refined petroleum products, the Pipeline's more
significant competitors are common carrier and proprietary pipelines owned and
operated by major integrated and large independent oil companies and other
companies in the areas where the Pipeline delivers products. Competition between
common carrier pipelines is based primarily on transportation charges, quality
of customer service and proximity to end users. The Partnership believes that
high capital costs, tariff regulation, environmental considerations and problems
in acquiring rights-of-way make it unlikely that other competing pipeline
systems comparable in size and scope to the Pipeline will be built in the near
future, provided that the Pipeline has available capacity to satisfy demand and
its tariffs remain at reasonable levels.
The costs associated with transporting products from a loading terminal to
end users limit the geographic size of the market that can be served
economically by any terminal. Transportation to end users from the loading
terminals of the Partnership is conducted principally by trucking operations of
unrelated third parties.
Trucks may competitively deliver products in some of the areas served by
the Pipeline. Trucking costs, however, render that mode of transportation
uncompetitive for longer hauls or larger volumes. The Partnership does not
believe that trucks are, or will be, over the long term effective competition to
its long-haul volumes.

LIQUIDS TERMINALING
Introduction
ST is one of the largest independent petroleum products and specialty
liquids terminaling companies in the United States. For the year ended December
31, 1994, the Partnership's terminaling business accounted for approximately 41%
of the Partnership's revenues. ST operates 23 facilities in sixteen states, with
a total storage capacity of approximately 7.7 million barrels. ST and its
predecessors have been in the terminaling business for over 30 years and handle
a wide variety of products from petroleum products to specialty chemicals to
edible liquids.
ST's terminal facilities provide throughput and storage on a fee basis for
specialty chemicals, petroleum products and other liquids. ST's three largest
terminal facilities are located in Texas City, Texas, Westwego, Louisiana and
Baltimore, Maryland. These facilities accounted for approximately 68% of ST's
revenues and 48% of its tankage capacity in 1994.
The Texas City terminal is a deep water facility primarily serving the
petrochemical industry along the Gulf Coast. The facility is the largest
independent terminal facility in Texas City and has the ability to handle a wide
range of specialty chemicals. The facility is located within sixteen miles of
open water and has three deep-water loading docks with 36- to 40-foot drafts. In
1994, the Texas City facility accounted for approximately 42% of ST's revenues.
The Baltimore terminal is the largest independent terminal facility in the
Baltimore area and also has a deep water loading dock with a 33-foot draft. The
Baltimore facility provides terminaling services for asphalt, fructose,
caustics, latex and other products. In 1994 the Baltimore facility accounted for
approximately 22% of ST's revenues.
The Westwego terminal, purchased in June, 1994, is a deep water facility
on the Mississippi River at New Orleans which handles molasses, fertilizer,
animal and vegetable fats and oils, latex and caustic solutions. In 1994, the
Westwego facility accounted for approximately 5% of ST's revenues.
In addition to the Texas City, Westwego and Baltimore terminaling
facilities, ST operates 20 other terminaling facilities in 14 states. These
inland terminaling facilities primarily handle petroleum products. Five of these
terminaling facilities are located on or near U.S. military bases and have
pipelines owned and operated by ST that deliver jet fuel directly to the bases.

Description of Terminals
Texas City, Texas. The Texas City facility is situated on 39 acres of
land, leased from the Texas City Terminal Railway Company with long-term renewal
options. It is located in Galveston County near the mouth of the Houston Ship
Channel and is approximately sixteen miles from open water. The eastern end of
the Texas City site is adjacent to three deep-water docking facilities, which
are also owned by Texas City Terminal Railway. The three deep-water docks
include two 36 foot draft docks and a 40 foot draft dock. ST is charged dockage
and wharfage fees on a per vessel and per unit basis, respectively, by Texas
City Terminal Railway, which it passes directly to the shipper or owner of the
incoming or outgoing products.
ST handles and stores a wide range of specialty chemicals, including
petrochemicals, at the Texas City facility. The facilities are designed to
accommodate a diverse product mix, and include (i) tanks equipped for the
specific storage needs of the various products handled; (ii) piping and pumping
equipment for moving the product between the tanks and the transportation modes;
and (iii) an extensive infrastructure of support equipment. The tankage at Texas
City is constructed of either mild carbon steel, stainless steel or aluminum.
Certain of the tanks, piping and pumping equipment are equipped for special
product needs,
9
<PAGE>
including among other things, equipment that can control temperature, air
pressure, air mixture or moisture. ST receives or delivers the majority of the
specialty chemicals that it handles via ship or barge at Texas City. ST also
receives and delivers liquids via rail tank cars and transport trucks.
Additionally, the terminal has direct connections to refineries in Texas City.
The Texas City tank facility consists of 123 tanks with a total capacity
of approximately 1,987 Mbbls. All recently built tanks are equipped with "double
bottoms," which provide a leak detection system between the primary and
secondary bottom. ST's facility has been designed with several preventative
structural measures to minimize the occurrence and level of damage in the event
of a spill or fire. All loading areas, tanks, pipes and pumping areas are
"contained" to collect any spillage and water run-off.
Westwego, Louisiana. Acquired in June, 1994, the Westwego facility is
situated on 27 acres of owned land adjacent to the West bank of the Mississippi
River across from New Orleans. A new dock built in 1992 is capable of handling
ocean going vessels and barges. The terminal has numerous handling facilities
for receiving and shipping by rail and tank truck as well as vessels and barges.
The Westwego terminal historically has been primarily a terminal for
molasses, and animal and vegetable fats and oils. The former owner, PM Ag,
Products, Inc., has contracted with ST for five years for terminaling at 5 large
molasses tanks. In recent years, the terminal has broadened its product mix to
include fertilizer, natural latex and caustic solutions. The facility includes a
blending plant for the processing of certain molasses-based feeds and a
laboratory for quality control and analysis.
The facility consists of 54 large tanks with a total capacity of
approximately 858,000 barrels. There are also approximately 30 smaller tanks for
manufacturing and processing.
Baltimore, Maryland. The Baltimore facility is situated on 18 acres of
owned land, located just south of Baltimore near the Harbor Tunnel on the
Chesapeake Bay. ST also owns a 700 ft. finger pier with a 33 foot draft channel
and berth. The dock gives ST the ability to receive and distribute shipments of
product by barge and ship.
Similar to the Texas City facility, Baltimore is a specialty liquids
terminal. The primary products handled at the Baltimore facility include
asphalt, fructose, latex, caustic solutions and chemicals. ST receives and
delivers a variety of products via ship, barge, rail, truck and a common carrier
pipeline.
The Baltimore tank facility consists of 50 tanks with a total capacity of
approximately 826 Mbbls. The majority of the tanks are dedicated to specific
products of customers under contract. Tanks are also customized to accommodate
the requirements of different products.
Inland Terminals. In addition to ST's three major facilities, ST has 20
inland terminal facilities throughout the United States. These facilities
represented approximately 52% of ST's total tankage capacity and approximately
32% of its total revenue for 1994. Except for the facility in Columbus, Georgia,
which primarily handles specialty chemicals, and the facility in Winona,
Minnesota, which handles fertilizer solutions, these inland facilities receive,
store and deliver petroleum products for a variety of customers.
In 1994, terminaling and pipeline transportation of jet fuel for the U.S.
Department of Defense represented 11% of ST's business. Ten of ST's twenty
inland terminal sites are involved in the terminaling or transport (via
pipeline) of jet fuel for the Department of Defense. Seven of the ten locations
are utilized solely by the Department of Defense. Five of the ten locations
include pipelines that deliver jet fuel directly to nearby military bases.
The base closing list released by the Department of Defense on March 12,
1993 included the closure of the Naval Air Station in Glenview, Illinois which
is served by ST's Terminal in Peru, Illinois. Additionally, the ST pipeline
serving Homestead Air Force Base in Florida has been inactive due to lack of
fuel usage at
10
<PAGE>
the base since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. It is anticipated that the operation of
that pipeline will begin again in 1995. ST does not believe that, in the
aggregate, the inland terminals serving the U.S. Department of Defense will
experience a significant decrease in cash flows for the foreseeable future as a
result of Department of Defense changes in activity. However, the third party
pipeline serving the Drumright, Oklahoma terminal reversed the direction of
product flow in 1994 causing jet fuel to become unavailable at this location.
Jet fuel is the only product handled at Drumright currently and ST is exploring
alternative uses for this terminal. In the absence of an alternative use, this
terminal may be forced to close.
Competition
The independent liquids terminaling industry is fragmented and includes
both large, well financed companies that own many terminal locations and small
companies that may own a single terminal location. ST is a member of the
Independent Liquid Terminals Association ("ILTA"), which, among other functions,
publishes a directory of terminal locations of its members throughout the United
States. Customers with specific location and facility demands generally use the
ILTA directory to identify the terminals in the region available for specific
needs, and then select the preferred providers on the basis of service, specific
terminal capabilities and environmental compliance. Customers then seek
competitive proposals to ultimately select the terminal retained.
In addition to the terminals owned by independent terminal operators, many
major energy and chemical companies also own extensive terminal facilities.
Although such terminals often have the same capabilities as terminals owned by
independent operators, they generally do not provide terminaling services to
third parties. In many instances, major energy and chemical companies that own
storage and terminaling facilities are also significant customers of independent
terminal operators. Such companies typically have strong demand for terminals
owned by independent operators when independent terminals have more cost
effective locations near key transportation links such as deep water ports.
Major energy and chemical companies also need independent terminal storage when
their captive storage facilities are inadequate, either because of size
constraints, the nature of the stored material or specialized handling
requirements.
Independent terminal owners compete based on the location and versatility
of terminals, service and price. A favorably located terminal will have access
to varied cost effective transportation both to and from the terminal. Possible
transportation modes include waterways, railroads, roadways and pipelines.
Terminals located near deep water port facilities are referred to as "deep water
terminals" and terminals without such facilities are referred to as "inland
terminals" (some inland facilities are served by barges on navigable rivers).
Terminal versatility is a function of the operator's ability to offer safe
handling for a diverse group of products with complex handling requirements. The
service function typically provided by the terminal includes, among other
things, the safe storage of the product at specified temperature, moisture and
other conditions, as well as loading and unloading at the terminal. An
increasingly important aspect of versatility and the service function is an
operator's ability to offer product handling and storage in compliance with
environmental regulations. A terminal operator's ability to offer competitive
pricing is often dependent on the quality, specifications and versatility of the
facilities owned by the operator. Although many products require modest terminal
modification, operators with a greater diversity of terminals with versatile
storage applications typically require less modification prior to usage,
ultimately reducing the storage cost.
Several companies offering liquid terminaling facilities have
significantly more capacity than ST. However, the majority of ST's tankage can
be described as "niche" facilities that are equipped to properly handle
"specialty" liquids or provide facilities or services where management believes
they enjoy an advantage over competitors. Most of the larger operators,
including GATX, Williams, Northville Industries, Petroleum Fuel & Terminal and
Steuart Petroleum, have facilities used primarily for petroleum related
products. Such specialty or "niche" tankage is less abundant in the U.S., and
"specialty" liquids typically command higher premiums than lower-margin bulk
terminaling for petroleum related products.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Capital expenditures by the Pipeline were $3.2 million, $5.1 million and
$2.2 million, respectively, for each of the three years ended from December 31,
1992 to December 31, 1994. Approximately 66% of the aggregate of these capital
expenditures related primarily to maintenance of existing operations and
approximately 28% related to expansion projects. During these periods, adequate
Pipeline capacity existed to accommodate volume growth, and the expenditures
required for environmental and safety improvements were not material in amount.
Capital expenditures by ST were $6.0 million, $3.2 million and $17.3
million, respectively, for each of the three years ended from December 31, 1992
to December 31, 1994. In 1994, capital expenditures related primarily to
acquisition of terminals at Salina, Kansas, Westwego, Louisiana, and Augusta,
Georgia.
Capital expenditures of the Partnership (including ST but excluding the
Wyco system) for maintenance of existing operations during 1995 are expected to
be approximately $7.0 million. Capital expenditures for expansionary purposes
during 1995 are expected to be approximately $1.0 million. (See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--
Capital Resources and Liquidity"). Additional expansionary capital expenditures
will depend on future opportunities to expand the Partnership's operation. The
General Partner intends to finance future expansive and some environmental
capital expenditures primarily through Partnership borrowings. Such future
expenditures, however,will depend on many factors beyond the Partnership's
control, including, without limitation, demand for refined petroleum products
and terminaling services in the Partnership's market areas, local, state and
federal governmental regulations and fuel conservation efforts and the
availability of financing on acceptable terms. No assurance can be given that
required capital expenditures will not exceed anticipated amounts during the
year or thereafter or that the Partnership will be able to finance such
expenditures through borrowing.
REGULATION
Interstate Regulation
General. The interstate common carrier pipeline operations of the
Partnership are subject to rate regulation by the FERC under the Interstate
Commerce Act. The Interstate Commerce Act provides, among other things, that to
be lawful the rates of common carrier petroleum pipelines be "just and
reasonable" and not unduly discriminatory. New and changed rates must be filed
with the FERC, which may investigate their lawfulness on protest or its own
motion. The FERC may suspend the effectiveness of such rates for up to seven
months. If the suspension expires before completion of the investigation, the
rates go into effect, but the pipeline can be required to refund to shippers,
with interest, any difference between the level the FERC determines to be lawful
and the filed rates under investigation. Rates that have become final and
effective may be challenged by complaint to a Court or the FERC, and reparations
may be recovered by the party filing the complaint for the two year period prior
to the complaint if the FERC finds the rate to be unlawful.
The only challenge to a rate change proposed by the Partnership was filed
in 1974. The Partnership's final and effective rates have never been challenged
by complaint in a court or to the FERC. The Partnership's current rates became
final and effective in July 1992. On February 25, 1994, the Partnership filed an
approximately 5.5% tariff increase which became effective April 1, 1994. Under
Title XVIII of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, rates that were in effect on
October 25, 1991 are deemed to be just and reasonable. Such rates are
subject to challenge only for limited reasons, relating to substantial changed
circumstances in either the economic circumstances of the subject pipeline or
the nature of the services, or to a contractual bar that prevented the
complainant from previously challenging the rates. Any relief granted pursuant
to such challenges may be prospective only. The Partnership believes that its
currently effective tariffs are just and reasonable and would withstand
challenge under the FERC's cost-based rate standards. Because of the complexity
of rate making, however, the lawfulness of any rate is never assured.
12
<PAGE>
In general, petroleum product pipeline rates are cost-based. Such rates
are permitted to generate operating revenues, based on projected volumes, not
greater than the total of the following components: (i) operating expenses, (ii)
depreciation and amortization, (iii) federal and state income taxes (determined
on a separate company basis and adjusted or "normalized" to avoid year to year
variations in rates due to the effect of timing differences between book and tax
accounting for certain expenses, primarily depreciation) and (iv) an overall
allowed rate of return on the pipeline's "rate base". Generally, rate base is a
measurement of the investment in, or value of, the common carrier assets of a
petroleum products pipeline.
In 1985, the FERC began issuing a series of Opinions ("FERC Opinions")
providing that oil pipeline rates would continue to be cost-based. The FERC
Opinions required that the rate base be calculated by the net depreciated
trended original cost ("TOC") methodology. Under the TOC methodology, after a
starting rate base has been determined, a pipeline's rate base is to be (i)
increased by property additions at cost plus an amount equal to the equity
portion of the rate base multiplied or "trended" by an inflation factor and (ii)
decreased by property retirements, depreciation and amortization of rate base
write-ups reflecting inflation.
The FERC Opinions allow for a rate of return for petroleum products
pipelines determined by adding (i) the product of a rate of return equal to the
nominal cost of debt multiplied by the portion of the rate base that is deemed
to be financed with debt and (ii) the product of a rate of return equal to the
real (i.e., inflation-free) cost of equity multiplied by the portion of the rate
base that is deemed to be financed with equity. The appropriate rate of return
for a petroleum pipeline is determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into
account cost of capital, competitive factors and business and financial risks
associated with pipeline operations.
The Interstate Commerce Commission, which regulated oil pipelines until
1978, had formerly determined rate base by using a current valuation
methodology. The FERC Opinions abandoned the valuation methodology and required
pipelines to establish a transition rate base for the pipeline's existing plant.
The transition rate base, called the "starting rate base," is the sum of (i) the
net depreciated original cost of the pipeline's property multiplied by the ratio
of debt to total capitalization and (ii) the net depreciated reproduction
portion of the valuation rate base as of 1983, multiplied by the ratio of equity
to total capitalization. The original cost of land, rights of way less book
depreciation, allowed working capital and plant less book depreciation that were
not included in the 1983 valuation may be added to the starting rate base.
The actual capital structure as of June 28, 1985 of either the pipeline or
its parent is used to establish the starting rate base. In general, the
pipeline's structure is used if the pipeline issues long-term debt to outside
investors without any parent guarantee and the parent's structure is used if the
pipeline has no long-term debt, issues long-term debt to its parent, or its
long-term debt is guaranteed by its parent. In individual cases, however, the
FERC may determine that the actual capital structure of the pipeline or its
parent is inappropriate for rate regulation purposes. The FERC may then impute
to the pipeline the capital structure it deems appropriate to the pipeline's
risk.
In addition to the TOC methodology, the FERC has indicated a willingness
to consider departures from cost-of-service rates depending upon whether a
pipeline's individual markets are sufficiently competitive. In a proceeding
involving Buckeye Pipeline Company, the Commission invited jurisdictional
pipelines to demonstrate that they lack market power in all or some of their
markets. In Buckeye, the FERC accepted a three-year experimental program of
lighthanded regulation of the pipeline's rates. Under the program, the
Commission permitted the use of the weighted average of Buckeye's actual rates
in those markets where it lacked significant market power to determine the price
cap for rates in non-competitive markets.
13
<PAGE>
The Partnership has not attempted to depart from cost-based rates.
Instead, it has continued to rely on the TOC methodology.
Title XVIII of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 ("EPAct") required the FERC
to issue a ruling establishing a simplified and generally applicable rate making
methodology for oil pipelines no later than October 24, 1993. FERC was also
required to issue a final rule to streamline procedures relating to oil and
product pipeline rates "in order to avoid unnecessary regulatory costs and
delays" no later than April 24, 1994.
On October 22, 1993, the FERC issued Order No. 561 implementing the EPAct.
Order No. 561, among other things, adopted simplified and generally acceptable
rate making methodology for oil pipelines in the form of indexation. Indexation,
which is also known as price cap regulation, establishes ceiling prices on oil
pipeline rates based on application of a broad-based measure of inflation in the
general economy to existing rates. On October 28, 1994, after numerous hearings
and public comment periods, FERC issued the final rules on Order No. 571 and 572
which were companion orders to Order No. 561. That final rule (issued October
28, 1994) amended FERC's regulations to establish filing requirements for oil
pipelines for cost-of-service rate filings; filing requirement for oil pipelines
seeking to establish new or to change depreciation rates; and new and revised
pages of the FERC Form No. 6, "Annual Report for Oil Pipelines".
Intrastate Regulation
The Pipeline's intrastate operations in Kansas are subject to regulation
by the Kansas Corporation Commission ("KCC"). Beginning in 1995, intrastate
operations in Colorado and Wyoming will be subject to regulation by authorities
in those states. The Partnership's revenues for intrastate service in Kansas
accounted for 6% of its total transportation operating revenues for the year
ended December 31, 1994. The Partnership expects this relationship to continue
in the future.
The KCC requires that shippers be notified of proposed intrastate tariff
increases in Kansas and have an opportunity to protest such increases. KPOP also
files with the KCC copies of interstate tariff changes filed with the FERC. KPOP
has never had a protest filed with the KCC against an intrastate rate increase
although it withdrew an interstate filing filed with the KCC in 1974 due to a
protest.
In addition to challenges to new or proposed rates, challenges to
intrastate rates which have already become effective are permitted by complaint
of an interested person or by independent action of the KCC.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
General
The operations of the Partnership are subject to federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment. Although the
Partnership believes that its operations are in general compliance with
applicable environmental regulations, risks of substantial costs and liabilities
are inherent in pipeline and terminal operations, and there can be no assurance
that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred by the Partnership.
Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly strict
environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims
for damages to property or persons resulting from the operations of the
Partnership, could result in substantial costs and liabilities to the
Partnership.
Water
The Oil Pollution Act ("OPA") was enacted in 1990 and amends provisions of
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 ("FWPCA") and other statutes as
they pertain to prevention and response to oil spills. The OPA subjects owners
of facilities to strict, joint and potentially unlimited liability for removal
costs and certain other consequences of an oil spill, where such spill is into
navigable waters, along shorelines, or in the exclusive economic zone. In the
event of an oil spill into such waters, substantial liabilities could be imposed
upon the Partnership. States in which the Partnership operates have also
14
<PAGE>
enacted similar laws. Regulations are currently being developed under OPA and
state laws which may also impose additional regulatory burdens on the
Partnership.
The Pipeline crosses several navigable rivers and streams. The FWPCA
imposes strict controls against the discharge of oil and its derivatives into
navigable waters. The FWPCA provides penalties for any discharges of petroleum
products in reportable quantities and imposes substantial potential liability
for the costs of removing an oil spill. State laws for the control of water
pollution also provide varying civil and criminal penalties and liabilities in
the case of a release of petroleum or its derivatives in surface waters or into
the groundwater.
Contamination resulting from spills or releases of refined petroleum
products are not unusual within the petroleum pipeline industry. The Pipeline
has experienced limited groundwater contamination at three terminal sites
(Milford, Iowa, Norfolk, Nebraska and Yankton, South Dakota) resulting from
spills of refined petroleum products. Regulatory authorities have been notified
of these findings and cleanup is underway using extraction wells and air
strippers. The Partnership estimates that $420,000 has been expended to date for
remediation at these three sites and that ongoing remediation expenses will be
less than $5,000 per year for the next several years. Groundwater contamination
is also known to exist at Pipeline sites in Augusta, Kansas and in Potwin,
Kansas, but no remediation has been required. Although no assurances can be
made, if remediation is required, the Partnership believes that the resulting
cost would not be material. The Partnership is also evaluating possible
groundwater contamination at a Pipeline pumping and storage site at El Dorado,
Kansas. However, the Partnership believes that a third party is liable for the
possible contamination.
The Pipeline experienced a spill due to third party damage during the
first quarter of 1991. Remediation of the groundwater impacted by this spill has
been underway since the second quarter of 1991. The Partnership estimates that
on-going remediation expenses will be in the range of $10,000 to $15,000 per
year. Regulatory authorities have been notified. The Partnership has filed suit
against the third party seeking compensation for damages.
During 1994, the Pipeline experienced a seam rupture of its 8" northbound
line in Nebraska in January and another similar rupture on the same line in
April. As a result of these ruptures, KPOP reduced the maximum operating
pressure on this line to 60% of the Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure
("MAOP") and, on May 24, commenced a hydrostatic test to determine the integrity
of over 80 miles of that line. The test was completed on the entire 80 miles on
May 29, 1994, and the line was authorized to return to approximately 80% of MAOP
pending review by the Department of Transportation ("DOT") of the hydrostatic
test results. On July 29, 1994, the DOT authorized most of the line to return to
the historical MAOP. Approximately 30 miles of the line was authorized to return
to slightly less than historical MAOP. The amount of remediation expenses that
will be required as a result of the rupture in January and April has not yet
been determined but these expenses are not expected to have a material effect
upon the results of the Partnership.
ST has experienced groundwater contamination at its terminal sites at
Baltimore, Maryland, and Alamogordo, New Mexico. Regulatory authorities have
been notified of these findings and cleanup is underway using extraction wells
and air strippers. Groundwater contamination also exists at the ST terminal site
in Stockton, California and in the areas surrounding this site as a result of
the past operations of five of the facilities operating in this area. ST has
entered into an agreement with three of these other companies to allocate
responsibility for the clean up of the contaminated area. Under the initial
estimate of remedial costs the parties (including ST) at Stockton would pay in
total approximately $752,000. However, the remediation costs have not been
finalized and could ultimately increase or decrease. In addition, ST is
responsible for up to two-thirds of the costs associated with existing
groundwater contamination at a formerly owned terminal at Marcy, New York, which
also is being remediated through extraction wells and air strippers. The
Partnership estimates that approximately $350,000 has been expended by the
Partnership
15
<PAGE>
to date for remediation at these four sites and that on-going remediation
expenses average $100,000 to $150,000 per year for the next several years.
Groundwater contamination has been identified at ST terminal sites at
Montgomery, Alabama and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but no remediation has taken
place. Shell Oil Company has indemnified ST for any contamination at the
Milwaukee site prior to ST's acquisition of such facility. Star Enterprise has
indemnified ST for contamination at a portion of the Montgomery site where
contamination has been identified prior to ST's acquisition of the facility.
There is also a possibility that groundwater contamination may exist at other
facilities. Although no assurance in this regard can be given, the Partnership
believes that such contamination, if present, could be remedied with extraction
wells and air strippers similar to those that are currently in use and that
resulting costs would not be material.
In 1991, the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") implemented
regulations expanding the definition of hazardous waste. The Toxicity
Characteristic Leaching Procedure ("TCLP") has broadened the definition of
hazardous waste by including 25 constituents that were not previously included
in determining that a waste is hazardous. Water that comes in contact with
petroleum may fail the "TCLP" procedure and require additional treatment prior
to its disposal. The Partnership plans to install totally enclosed wastewater
treatment systems at all Pipeline terminal sites to treat such petroleum
contaminated water, especially tank bottom water. Previously, this waste water
was disposed of in evaporation ponds located at each site. The Pipeline has
discontinued this practice and is installing onsite treatment systems. These
systems, the installation of which commenced in 1993, will be completed in 1995.
The EPA has promulgated regulations that may require the Partnership to
apply for permits to discharge storm water runoff. Storm water discharge permits
also may be required in certain states in which the Partnership operates. Where
such requirements are applicable, the Partnership has applied for such permits
and, after the permits are received, will be required to sample storm water
effluent before releasing it. The Partnership believes that effluent limitations
could be met, if necessary, with minor modifications to existing facilities and
operations. Although no assurance in this regard can be given, the Partnership
believes that the changes will not have a material effect on the Partnership's
financial condition or results of operations.
Aboveground Storage Tank Acts
A number of the states in which the Partnership operates have passed
statutes regulating aboveground tanks containing liquid substances. Generally,
these Acts require that such tanks include secondary containment systems or that
the operators take certain alternative precautions to ensure that no
contamination results from any leaks in the tanks. Although there is not
currently a federal statute regulating these aboveground tanks, there is a
possibility that such a law will be passed within the next couple of years. The
Partnership is in substantial compliance with all aboveground storage tank laws
in the states with such laws. Although no assurance can be given, the
Partnership believes that the future implementation of aboveground storage tank
laws by either additional states or by the federal government will not have a
material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial condition or results of
operations.
Air Emissions
The operations of the Partnership are subject to the Federal Clean Air Act
and comparable state and local statutes. The Partnership believes that the
operations of the Pipeline are in substantial compliance with such statutes in
all states in which it operates.
Amendments to the Federal Clean Air Act enacted in late 1990 will require
most industrial operations in the United States to incur future capital
expenditures in order to meet the air emission control standards that are to be
developed and implemented by the EPA and state environmental agencies during the
next
16
<PAGE>
decade. Pursuant to these Clean Air Act Amendments, those Partnership facilities
that emit volatile organic compounds ("VOC") or nitrogen oxides and are located
in non-attainment areas will be subject to increasingly stringent regulations,
including requirements that certain sources install reasonably available control
technology. The EPA is also required to promulgate new regulations governing the
emissions of hazardous air pollutants. Some of the Partnership's facilities are
included within the categories of hazardous air pollutant sources which will be
affected by these regulations. Additionally, new dockside loading facilities
owned or operated by the Partnership will be subject to the New Source
Performance Standards that were scheduled for proposal in late 1992. These
regulations will control VOC emissions from the loading and unloading of tank
vessels.
Although the Partnership is in substantial compliance with applicable air
pollution laws, in anticipation of the passage of stricter air control
regulations, the Partnership is taking actions to substantially reduce its air
emissions. The Pipeline plans to install bottom loading and vapor recovery
equipment on the loading racks at almost all of the terminal sites that do not
already have such emissions control equipment. These modifications are expected
to reduce substantially the total air emissions from each of these facilities.
Having begun in 1993, this project is being phased in over a period of years at
an approximate cost of $5.0 million. Another project that is underway is the
installation of marine vapor collection equipment and a large flare at the Texas
City terminal site. This Texas City project is estimated to cost approximately
$2.0 million and to be completed by the end of 1995.
Solid Waste
The Partnership generates non-hazardous solid wastes that are subject to
the requirements of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA")
and comparable state statutes. The EPA is considering the adoption of stricter
disposal standards for non-hazardous wastes. RCRA also governs the disposal of
hazardous wastes. At present, the Partnership is not required to comply with a
substantial portion of the RCRA requirements because the Partnership's
operations generate minimal quantities of hazardous wastes. However, it is
anticipated that additional wastes, which could include wastes currently
generated during Pipeline operations, will in the future be designated as
"hazardous wastes". Hazardous wastes are subject to more rigorous and costly
disposal requirements than are non-hazardous wastes. Such changes in the
regulations may result in additional capital expenditures or operating expenses
by the Partnership.
At the terminal sites at which groundwater contamination is present, there
is also limited soil contamination as a result of the aforementioned spills. The
Partnership is under no present requirements to remove these contaminated soils,
but the Partnership may be required to do so in the future. Soil contamination
also may be present at other Partnership facilities at which spills or releases
have occurred. Under certain circumstances, the Partnership may be required to
clean up such contaminated soils. Although these costs should not have a
material adverse effect on the Partnership, no assurance can be given in this
regard.
Superfund
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
("CERCLA"), also known as "Superfund", imposes liability, without regard to
fault or the legality of the original act, on certain classes of persons that
contributed to the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment.
These persons include the owner or operator of the site and companies that
disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances found at the
site. CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some instances, third parties to
act in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek
to recover from the responsible classes of persons the costs they incur. In the
course of its ordinary operations, the Partnership may generate waste which may
fall within the CERCLA's definition of a "hazardous substance". The Partnership
may be responsible under the CERCLA for all or part of the costs required to
clean up sites at which such wastes have been disposed.
17
<PAGE>
ST has been named a potentially responsible party for a site located at
Elkton, Maryland, operated by Spectron, Inc. until August of 1988. This site is
presently under the oversight of the EPA and is listed as a federal "Superfund"
site. A small amount of material handled by Spectron was attributed to ST. The
Partnership believes that ST will be able to settle its potential obligation in
connection with this matter for an aggregate cost of approximately $10,000.
However, until a final settlement agreement is signed with the EPA, there is a
possibility that the EPA could bring additional claims against ST.
Environmental Impact Statement
The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (the "NEPA") applies to
certain extensions or additions to a pipeline system. Under NEPA, if any project
that would significantly affect the quality of the environment requires a permit
or approval from any federal agency, a detailed environmental impact statement
must be prepared. The effect of the NEPA may be to delay or prevent construction
of new facilities or to alter their location, design or method of construction.
Indemnification
Kaneb has agreed to indemnify the Partnership against liabilities for
damage to the environment resulting from operations of the Pipeline prior to
October 3, 1989. Such indemnification does not extend to any liabilities that
arise after such date to the extent such liabilities result from changes in
environmental laws or regulations. Nevertheless, the Company will remain liable
for the remediation of groundwater contamination resulting from three spills and
the possible groundwater contamination at a pumping and storage site referred to
under "---Water" to the standards that are in effect at the time such
remediation operations are concluded. In addition, ST's former owner has agreed
to indemnify the Partnership against liabilities for damages to the environment
from operations conducted by such former owner prior to March 2, 1993. The
indemnity, which expires March 1, 1998, is limited in amount to 60% of any claim
exceeding $100,000 until an aggregate amount of $10 million has been paid by
ST's former owner. With regard to the Wyco acquisition, Wyco's former owners
have agreed to indemnify the Partnership against unknown environmental damages
from operations conducted by Wyco prior to February 24, 1995. The indemnity,
which expires in August 1999 is limited in amount to 50% of any claim exceeding
$150,000 for the next $900,000 in claims, then 100% of the next $2,950,000 in
environmental damages.
SAFETY REGULATION
The Pipeline is subject to regulation by the Department of Transportation
under the Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Act of 1979 ("HLPSA") relating to the
design, installation, testing, construction, operation, replacement and
management of its pipeline facilities. The HLPSA covers petroleum and petroleum
products and requires any entity that owns or operates pipeline facilities to
comply with such plan, to permit access to and copying of records and to make
certain reports and provide information as required by the Secretary of
Transportation.
The Federal Pipeline Safety Act of 1992 amended the HLPSA to include
requirements for the future use of internal inspection devices. The Partnership
does not believe that it will be required to make any substantial capital
expenditures to comply with the requirements of HLPSA as so amended.
The Partnership is subject to the requirements of the Federal Occupational
Safety and Health Act ("OSHA") and comparable state statutes. The Partnership
believes that it is in general compliance with OSHA requirements, including
general industry standards, record keeping requirements and monitoring of
occupational exposure to benzene.
The OSHA hazard communication standard, the EPA community right-to-know
regulations under Title III of the Federal Superfund Amendment and
Reauthorization Act, and comparable state statutes require the Partnership to
organize information about the hazardous materials used in its operations.
Certain parts of this information must be reported to employees, state and local
governmental authorities, and local citizens upon request. In general, the
Partnership expects to increase its expenditures during the next decade to
18
<PAGE>
comply with higher industry and regulatory safety standards such as those
described above. Such expenditures cannot be accurately estimated at this time,
although they are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the
Partnership.
EMPLOYEES
The Partnership has no employees. The Pipeline business of the Partnership
is conducted by its general partner, Kaneb Pipe Line Company, which at December
31, 1994, employed 144 persons, approximately 50 of whom were salaried and,
approximately 94 of whom were hourly rate employees. Approximately 94 persons
employed by the Company were subject to representation by unions for collective
bargaining purposes; however, there were no collective bargaining contracts
covering the Company employees in effect at December 31, 1994.
The Partnership's liquids terminaling business is conducted through ST
subsidiaries which at December 31, 1994, employed 176 persons, approximately 104
of whom were salaried and, approximately 72 of whom were hourly rate employees.
Approximately 33 persons employed by ST were subject to representation by the
Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers International Union AFL-CIO (OCAW). ST has an
agreement with OCAW regarding conditions of employment for the above persons
which is in effect through June 28, 1996. This agreement is subject to automatic
renewal for successive one-year periods unless ST or OCAW serves written notice
to terminate or modify such agreement in a timely manner.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Partnership is a party to several lawsuits arising in the ordinary
course of business. Subject to certain deductibles and self-insurance
retentions, substantially all the claims made in these lawsuits are covered by
insurance policies.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
In July, 1994, the unitholders of the Partnership overwhelmingly approved
a consent solicitation amending the Partnership Agreement to allow the
Partnership to issue up to an additional 7.5 million Senior Preference Units.
The Partnership has no current plans to issue these units, however, this gives
the Partnership added flexibility for future acquisitions or refinancing.

paid on the outstanding Common Units, which are not entitled to arrearages in
the payment of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution thereon, until 1994 when
distributions totalling $1,738,000 were paid.
Under the terms of its financing agreements, the Partnership is prohibited
from declaring or paying any distribution if a default exists thereunder.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements of Kaneb Pipe Line Partners, L.P. and notes thereto and the summary
historical and pro forma financial and operating data included elsewhere in this
report.
GENERAL
In September, 1989 Kaneb Pipe Line Company ("Company"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Kaneb Services, Inc. ("Kaneb"), formed a master limited
partnership, Kaneb Pipe Line Partners, L.P. ("Partnership"), to own and operate
its refined petroleum products pipeline business. The Partnership operates
through Kaneb Pipe Line Operating Partnership, L.P. ("KPOP"), a limited
partnership in which the Partnership holds a 99% interest as limited partner.
The Partnership's business consists primarily of the transportation, as a common
carrier, of refined petroleum products, including propane, from refineries and
pipeline connections in Kansas to destinations in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South
Dakota and North Dakota, and related terminaling activities. The Partnership
owns a 2,075 mile integrated pipeline system with 16 terminals in Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and North Dakota. The pipeline serves oil
companies, railroads and farm cooperatives in such states and in portions of
three adjoining states. Three refineries have direct access to the pipeline;
these refineries obtain crude oil primarily from producing areas in Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas.
Effective March 2, 1993, the Partnership acquired, through KPOP, Support
Terminal Services, Inc. ("ST"), a petroleum products and specialty liquids
storage and terminaling company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, for
approximately $65 million (including $2 million in acquisition costs). In
connection with the acquisition, the Partnership borrowed $65 million from a
group of banks. In April 1993, the Partnership completed a public offering of
2.25 million Senior Preference Units at $25.25 per unit. The bank loan was
partially repaid with $50.8 million of the proceeds from the offering. The
Partnership continually evaluates other potential acquisitions.
The Pipeline's common carrier operations are subject to federal or state
tariff regulation. The Partnership has not engaged, nor does it currently intend
to engage, in the merchant function of buying and selling refined petroleum
products.
The Partnership's business depends in large part on (i) the level of
demand for refined petroleum products in the geographic locations served by the
pipeline and (ii) the ability and willingness of refiners and marketers having
access to the pipeline to supply such demand by deliveries through the pipeline.
RESULTS OF PARTNERSHIP OPERATIONS
Net income increased $2.8 million or 11% in 1994 to $29.5 million due
primarily to the inclusion of ST results for the full year in 1994 versus the 10
months in 1993 from the acquisition in March 1993. The increase in interest
expense is attributable to the acquisition debt incurred for ST.

Revenues increased 5% in both 1994 and 1993. KPOP implemented a tariff
increase of approximately 5.5% in April, 1994 and approximately 5.6% in July,
1992. Barrel miles increased 2% in both 1994 and 1993. The increase in barrel
miles is primarily due to increased long-haul shipments related to product
pricing advantages for shippers to western area terminals served by the
Pipeline.
Operating costs increased 8% in 1994 and 13% in 1993. Property taxes
increased $.3 and $.9 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The 1994 increase
was primarily due to tax rate adjustments in Kansas and Nebraska and the 1993
increase was primarily due to non-recurring refunds received in 1992 and tax
rate adjustments in Nebraska. Power costs increased by $.6 million in 1994 due
to increased barrel miles, utility rates and increased usage of drag reducer.
Material, supplies and outside services increased $.4 million in 1994 primarily
due to unusually high repair and maintenance expenditures.

Revenues increased $2.7 million in 1994 as average tankage utilized
increased .2 million barrels to 6.1 million barrels compared to 5.9 million
barrels in 1993. Revenues per barrel stored increased by $.26 in 1994 to $5.33
per barrel.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership borrowed approximately $10 million on its term facility in
the fourth quarter of 1993 in anticipation of terminal acquisitions to be made
in 1994. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities decreased to .8 to 1
at December 31, 1994 from 1.29 to 1 at December 31, 1993 primarily as a result
of terminal acquisitions in 1994 funded from the Partnership's cash balances.
Cash provided by operating activities was $37.9 million, $37.2 million, and
$26.6 million for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The increase in
cash flow from operating activities in 1993 was due to the acquisition of ST.
Capital expenditures were $19.5 million, $8.1 million and $3.2 million for
the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Included in 1994 capital
expenditures are three terminal acquisitions by ST that totalled $12.3 million.
During these periods, adequate pipeline capacity existed to accommodate volume
growth, and the expenditures required for environmental and safety improvements
were not material. Capital expenditures for 1995 are expected to be
approximately $8.0 million, excluding the Wyco acquisition.
The Partnership makes distributions of 100% of its Available Cash to
holders of LP Units and the General Partner. Available Cash consists generally
of all the cash receipts less all cash disbursements and reserves. A
distribution of $2.20 per unit was paid to Senior Preference Unitholders in
1994, 1993 and 1992. In 1995, the Partnership anticipates distributing $2.20 per
Senior Preference Unit, which is the annualized Minimum Quarterly Distribution.
During 1994, 1993, and 1992, the Partnership paid distributions of $12.3 million
($2.20 per unit), $19.3 million ($2.20 per unit and $1.21 per unit in
arrearages) and $15.0 million ($2.20 per unit and $.45 per unit in arrearages)
to the Preference Unitholders. During 1994, the Partnership paid distributions
of $1.7 million ($.55 per unit) to the Common Unitholders.
23
<PAGE>
The Partnership expects to fund future cash distributions and maintenance
capital expenditures with existing cash and cash flows from operating activities
and expansionary capital expenditures are expected to be funded through
Partnership borrowings.
In 1994, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership sold $33 million of
notes to a group of insurance companies. The notes bear interest at the rate of
8.05% per annum and are due on December 22, 2001. In 1994, KPOP entered into a
Restated Credit Agreement with a group of banks that provides a $15 million
revolving credit facility through November 30, 1997. The credit facility bears
interest at variable rates and has a commitment fee of .2% per annum of the
unused credit facility. No amounts were drawn under this credit facility at
December 31, 1994. The notes and credit facility are secured by a mortgage on
substantially all of the pipeline assets of the Partnership.
Effective February 24, 1995, the Partnership, through KPOP, acquired the
refined petroleum product pipeline assets of Wyco Pipe Line Company for $27.1
million. The acquisition was financed by the sale of additional first mortgage
notes to three insurance companies. The notes are due February 24, 2002 and bear
interest at the rate of 8.37% per annum.

thereon, is vested over a five year period at 20% per year. Participants are
credited with their prior years of service for vesting purposes, however, no
amounts are accrued for the accounts of participants, including the Company's
executive officers, for years of service previous to the plan commencement date.
Participants may direct the investment of their contributions into any of four
funds, including Kaneb common stock. Plan assets are

held and distributed pursuant to a trust arrangement. Because levels of future
compensation, participant contributions and investment yields cannot be reliably
predicted over the span of time contemplated by a plan of this nature, it is
impractical to estimate the annual benefits payable at retirement to the
individuals listed in the Summary Cash Compensation Table above.
Director's Fees. During 1994, each member of the Company's Board of
Directors who was not also an employee of the Company or Kaneb was paid an
annual retainer of $4,000 in lieu of all attendance fees.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
At March 17, 1995, no person was known to the Partnership to be the
beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Units. See Item 10 with respect to
ownership of Senior Preference Units by officers and directors of the Company.
At March 17, 1995, the Company owned a combined 2% General Partner
interest in the Partnership and the Operating Partnership, and owned preference
units and common units representing a limited partner interest of approximately
52%.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Company is entitled to certain reimbursements under the Partnership
Agreement. For additional information regarding the nature and amount of such
reimbursements, see Notes 4 and 5 to the Partnership's financial statements.

KANEB PIPE LINE PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION
Kaneb Pipe Line Partners, L.P. ("Partnership"), a master limited partnership,
owns and operates a refined petroleum products pipeline business. The
Partnership operates through Kaneb Pipe Line Operating Partnership, L.P.
("KPOP"), a limited partnership in which the Partnership holds a 99% interest
as limited partner. Kaneb Pipe Line Company ("Company"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Kaneb Services, Inc. ("Kaneb"), as general partner holds a 1%
general partner interest in both the Partnership and KPOP. The Company's 1%
interest in KPOP is reflected as the minority interest in the financial
statements.
Effective March 1, 1993, the Partnership acquired Support Terminal Services,
Inc. ("ST"), a petroleum products and specialty liquids storage and
terminaling company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, for approximately $65
million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and, accordingly,
the Partnership's consolidated statement of income includes the results of
operations of ST since March 1, 1993. In connection with the acquisition, the
Partnership borrowed $65 million from a group of banks, which was partially
repaid with $50.8 million of the proceeds from a Senior Preference Unit
("SPU") offering.
In April 1993, the Partnership completed a public offering of 2.25 million SPU
at $25.25 per unit. The net proceeds from the offering of $52.8 million was
allocated among the equity accounts of the unitholders, general partner and
minority interest based on the ownership percentages of the partnership
subsequent to the offering. The Partnership believes that this allocation
approximates the distribution of the net assets upon liquidation, assuming the
Partnership was liquidated at net book value. However, the actual distribution
of the net assets upon liquidation could be significantly different as a
result of the fair market value of the net assets being substantially
different than the net book value of the Partnership's assets in the
accompanying financial statements.
The SPUs represent an approximate 44% ownership interest in the Partnership.
The Company owns an approximate 52% interest as limited partner in the form of
Preference Units and Common Units, and as the general partner owns a combined
2% interest. An approximate 2% ownership interest in the form of 60,500
Preference Units and 154,000 Common Units is held by officers of Kaneb.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are followed by the Partnership
in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Partnership's policy is to invest cash in highly liquid investments with
maturities of three months or less, upon purchase. Accordingly, uninvested
cash balances are kept at minimum levels. Such investments are valued at cost,
which approximates market, and are classified as cash equivalents.

KANEB PIPE LINE PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are carried at historical cost. Certain leases have
been capitalized and the leased assets have been included in property and
equipment. Additions of new equipment and major renewals and replacements of
existing equipment are capitalized. Repairs and minor replacements that do not
materially increase values or extend useful lives are expensed. Depreciation
of property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis at rates based
upon expected useful lives of various classes of assets. The rates used for
pipeline and storage facilities of KPOP are the same as those which have been
promulgated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
REVENUE AND INCOME RECOGNITION
KPOP provides pipeline transportation of refined petroleum products and
liquified petroleum gases. Revenue is recognized upon receipt of the products
into the pipeline system.
ST provides terminaling and other ancillary services. Fees are billed one
month in advance and are reported as deferred income. Revenue is recognized in
the month services are provided.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The operations of the Partnership are subject to federal, state and local laws
and regulations relating to protection of the environment. Although the
Partnership believes that its operations are in general compliance with
applicable environmental regulation, risks of additional costs and liabilities
are inherent in pipeline and terminal operations, and there can be no
assurance that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred by the
Partnership. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as
increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement
policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting
from the operations of the Partnership, could result in substantial costs and
liabilities to the Partnership.
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or
capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition
caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future
revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental
assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the costs can be
reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with
the completion of a feasibility study or the Partnership's commitment to a
formal plan of action.
The Company has indemnified the Partnership against liabilities for damage to
the environment resulting from operations of the pipeline prior to October 3,
1989 (date of formation of the Partnership). The indemnification does not
extend to any liabilities that arise after such date to the extent that the
liabilities result from changes in environmental laws and regulations. In
addition, ST's former owner has agreed to indemnify the Partnership against
liabilities for damages to the environment from operations conducted by the
former owner prior to March 2, 1993. The indemnity, which expires March 1,
1998, is limited in amount to 60% of any claim exceeding $100,000 until an
aggregate amount of $10 million has been paid by ST's former owner. The
Partnership has recorded a reserve for environmental claims in the amount of
$1.0 million at December 31, 1994 in other liabilities on the accompanying
balance sheet.

INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Income before income tax expense is made up of the following components:

$ 30,276,000 $ 27,104,000 $ 19,979,000
============= ============= =============
</TABLE>
The Partnership is not subject to federal and state income taxes. However,
certain operations of ST are conducted through wholly-owned subsidiaries which
are taxable entities. The provision for income taxes for the periods ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993 consists of deferred U.S. federal income taxes of
$.6 million and $.4 million, respectively, and current federal income taxes of
$.2 million in 1994.
Since the income or loss of the operations which are conducted through limited
partnerships will be included in the tax return of the individual partners of
the Partnership, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the
accompanying financial statements on these earnings. The tax returns of the
Partnership are subject to examination by federal and state taxing
authorities. If such examination results in adjustments to distributive shares
of taxable income or loss, the tax liability of the partners would be adjusted
accordingly.
The tax attributes of the Partnership's net assets flow directly to each
individual partner. Individual partners will have different investment bases
depending upon the timing and prices of acquisition of partnership units.
Further, each partner's tax accounting, which is partially dependent upon
their individual tax position, may differ from the accounting followed in the
financial statements. Accordingly, there could be significant differences
between each individual partner's tax basis and their proportionate share of
the net assets reported in the financial statements. Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," requires
disclosure by a publicly held partnership of the aggregate difference in the
basis of its net assets for financial and tax reporting purposes. Management
does not believe that, in the Partnership's circumstances, the aggregate
difference would be meaningful information.
ALLOCATION OF NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SENIOR PREFERENCE UNIT
Net income is allocated to the limited partnership units in an amount equal to
the cash distributions declared for each reporting period and any remaining
income or loss is allocated to the class of units that did not receive full
distributions. If full distributions are declared to all classes of units,
income will be allocated pro rata based on the aggregate amount of
distributions declared.
Earnings per SPU are calculated by dividing the amount of net income allocated
to the SPUs by the weighted average number of SPUs outstanding.

CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
The Partnership makes quarterly distributions of 100% of its Available Cash,
as defined in the Partnership Agreement, to holders of limited partnership
units ("Unitholders") and the Company. Available Cash consists generally of
all the cash receipts of the Partnership plus the beginning cash balance less
all of its cash disbursements and reserves. The Partnership expects to make
distributions of Available Cash for each quarter of not less than $.55 per
Senior Preference Unit (the "Minimum Quarterly Distribution"), or $2.20 per
Senior Preference Unit on an annualized basis, for the foreseeable future,
although no assurance is given regarding such distributions. The Partnership
expects to make distributions of all Available Cash within 45 days after the
end of each quarter to holders of record on the applicable record date. A
distribution of $2.20 per unit was paid to Senior Preference Unitholders in
1994, 1993 and 1992. During 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Partnership paid
distributions of $2.20, $3.41 (includes $1.21 of arrearage payments) and $2.65
(includes $.45 of arrearage payments), respectively, to the Preference Unit
holders. During 1994, the Partnership paid distributions of $.55 per unit to
the Common Unitholders. As of December 31, 1994, no arrearages existed on any
class of partnership interest.
Distributions by the Partnership of its Available Cash are made 99% to
Unitholders and 1% to the Company, subject to the payment of incentive
distributions to the General Partner if certain target levels of cash
distributions to the Unitholders are achieved. The distribution of Available
Cash for each quarter within the Preference Period, as defined, is subject to
the preferential rights of the holders of the Senior Preference Units to
receive the Minimum Quarterly Distribution for such quarter, plus any
arrearages in the payment of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution for prior
quarters, before any distribution of Available Cash is made to holders of
Preference Units of Common Units for such quarter. In addition, for each
quarter within the Preference Period, the distribution of any amounts to
holders of Common Units is subject to the preferential rights of the holders
of the Preference Units to receive the Minimum Quarterly Distribution for such
quarter, plus any arrearages in the payment of the Minimum Quarterly
Distribution for prior quarters. The Common Units are not entitled to
arrearages in the payment of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution. In general,
the Preference Period will continue indefinitely until the Minimum
Distribution has been paid to the holders of the Senior Preference Units, the
Preference Units and the Common Units for twelve consecutive quarters. Prior
to the end of the Preference Period, 2,650,000 of the Preference Units shall
be converted into Senior Preference Units on a one-for-one basis if the Third
Target Distribution, as defined, is paid to all Unitholders for four full
consecutive quarters. The Third Target distribution is reached when
distributions of Available Cash equals $2.80 per Limited Partner ("LP") Unit
on an annualized basis. After the Preference Period ends all differences and
distinctions between the three classes of units for the purposes of cash
distributions will cease.

In 1994, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership issued $33 million of
first mortgage notes ("Notes") to a group of insurance companies. The Notes
bear interest at the rate of 8.05% per annum and are due on December 22,
2001. In 1994, a wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a Restated Credit
Agreement with a group of banks that provides a $15 million revolving
credit facility through November 30, 1997. The credit facility bears
interest at variable interest rates and has a commitment fee of .2% per
annum of the unused credit facility. No amounts were drawn under the credit
facility at December 31, 1994. The Notes and credit facility are secured by
a mortgage on substantially all of the pipeline assets of the Partnership
and contain certain financial and operational covenants.

</TABLE>
(a) The capital lease is secured by certain pipeline equipment and the
Partnership has accrued its option to purchase this equipment at the
termination of the lease.
Total rent expense under operating leases amounted to $.9 million, $.9
million and $.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively.
KPOP and the Company entered into a payment priority agreement related to
the capital lease obligation for pipeline equipment under which the Company
is primarily liable for rental payments of approximately $2.9 million per
year through April 1997 and KPOP is primarily liable for the remaining
rental payments. KPOP has recorded a receivable of $5.8 million at December
31, 1994 from the Company for the present value of these future lease
payments. This receivable bears interest at an annual rate of 13.8%, which
reflects the imputed interest rate on the capital lease. KPOP recorded
interest income of $.9 million, $1.2 million and $1.4 million from the
Company on this receivable balance for the periods ended December 31, 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively. The amount of the capital lease obligation
that exceeds the receivable from the Company ($6.0 million at December 31,
1994) represents the present value of the lease obligation and purchase
option due subsequent to April 1997.
The Partnership believes that the carrying value of the notes represents
their estimated fair value as the notes were issued in December 1994 and
that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the capital lease
obligation and the associated receivable from the general partner.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Effective February 24, 1995, the Partnership, through KPOP, acquired the
refined petroleum product pipeline assets of Wyco Pipe Line Company
("Wyco") for $27.1 million. The acquisition was financed by the issuance of
first mortgage notes to three insurance companies. The notes are due
February 24, 2002 and bear interest at the rate of 8.37% per annum. The
acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the
results of operations of Wyco will be included in the Partnership's
consolidated statement of income subsequent to the date of acquisition.
The following summarized unaudited pro forma consolidated results of
operations for years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, assume the
acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the period presented. These pro
forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not
purport to be indicative of the results of operations which might have
resulted had the combination been in effect at the dates indicated, or

RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
-------------------------
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of December 22, 1994, between KANEB PIPE
LINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("BORROWER"),
Lenders (defined below), and TEXAS COMMERCE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (successor
by merger with Texas Commerce Bank, National Association) as agent for Lenders.
Terms used in this agreement are defined in SECTION 1.
Borrower, STI, and certain financial institutions are party to the Existing
Credit Agreement. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
agreement, (1) Borrower, STI, and the other KPP Companies are entering into the
Note Agreements with Noteholders, (2) the KPP Companies are (directly or
indirectly through intercompany loans or note assignments to Noteholders)
causing a portion of the financing proceeds under the Note Agreements to be used
to purchase from or pay to all of the lending institutions (other than Lenders)
all of the indebtedness owed to them (and are terminating their respective
commitments to lend) under the Existing Credit Agreement. Borrower has
requested Agent and Lenders to enter into this agreement -- as a renewal,
extension, and entire amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement
-- to provide for a revolving credit of Borrowings and LCs (that may never
exceed the total Commitments) for the purposes and upon the terms and conditions
provided in this agreement. The Obligation under this agreement and the
indebtedness under the Note Agreements are to be pari passu secured by the
Collateral.
ACCORDINGLY, for adequate and sufficient consideration, Borrower, Lenders,
and Agent agree that the Existing Credit Agreement is renewed, extended, and
entirely amended and restated as follows:
SECTION 1 DEFINITIONS AND TERMS.
--------- ---------------------
1.1 Definitions. As used in the Loan Papers:
-----------
AFFILIATE of a Person means any other individual or entity who (directly or
indirectly through ownership, voting securities, contract, or otherwise)
controls, is controlled by, or under common control with that Person. For
purposes of this definition (a) "control" or similar terms mean the power to
direct or cause the direction of management or policies of that Person, but (b)

SECTION 2 BORROWINGS AND LCS.
--------- ------------------
2.1 Commitments. Subject to the provisions in the Loan Papers, each
-----------
Lender severally and not jointly agrees to lend to Borrower that Lender's
Commitment Percentage of Borrowings and Agent (itself or through its Affiliates)
agrees to issue LCs -- which Borrowings and LCs may be borrowed, issued, drawn
against, repaid, and reborrowed or reissued, as the case may be -- so long as
(a) each Borrowing must be made and each LC -- subject also to SECTION 2.3(A) -
- must be issued on a Business Day before the Termination Date, (b) the
Principal Debt (other than for payments under LCs) may never exceed $15,000,000,
(c) the LC Exposure may never exceed $4,118,000, (d) the Commitment Usage may
never exceed the total Commitments, (e) the Commitment Usage for any Lender
(whether owed directly or through a participation under this agreement) may
never exceed its Commitment, (f) the Existing LC Exposure is renewed under this
agreement, and (g) the total Principal Debt may never exceed the total
Commitments, (d) the Principal Debt owed any Lender may never exceed its
Commitment, and (e) the initial Borrowing shall be in an amount at least equal
to, and shall constitute a renewal and extension of, the outstanding principal
of the Revolving Facility under the Existing Credit Agreement.
2.2 Borrowings.
----------
(a) Borrower may request a Borrowing by submitting to Agent a Notice
of Borrowing --which, subject to CLAUSE (D), is irrevocable and binding on
Borrower. It must be received by Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. on the
third Business Day before the date on which funds are requested (the
"BORROWING DATE") for any LIBOR Rate Borrowing or on the Business Day
immediately before the Borrowing Date for any Alternate Base Rate
Borrowing. Each Borrowing must be at least $100,000 or a $50,000 greater
multiple.
12
<PAGE>
(b) Each Lender shall remit its Commitment Percentage of each
requested Borrowing to Agent's principal office in Dallas, Texas, by wire
transfer according to Agent's wiring instructions on SCHEDULE 2.1, in funds
that are available for immediate use by Agent by 12:00 Noon on the
Borrowing Date. Subject to receipt of those funds, Agent shall (unless to
its actual knowledge any of the applicable conditions precedent have not
been satisfied by Borrower or waived by Determining Lenders) make those
funds available to Borrower as directed in the Notice of Borrowing.
(c) Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, Agent may assume
that each Lender has made its Commitment Percentage of the requested
Borrowing available to Agent on the Borrowing Date, and Agent may, in
reliance upon that assumption (but shall not be required to), make
available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If a Lender fails to make
its Commitment Percentage of any requested Borrowing available to Agent on
the Borrowing Date, Agent may recover the applicable amount on demand (i)
from that Lender, together with interest at an annual rate equal to the
Federal Funds Rate during the period from the date the amount was made
available to Borrower by Agent and until the date Agent recovers the amount
from that Lender, or (ii) if that Lender fails to pay its amount upon
demand, then from Borrower -- who is not liable for any related Funding
Loss but is liable for interest at an annual interest rate equal to the
rate applicable to the requested Borrowing during the period from the
Borrowing Date and until the date Agent recovers the amount from Borrower.
No Lender is responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its
Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing. However, failure of any Lender to
make its Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing does not excuse any other
Lender from making its Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing. As soon as
is reasonably practical, Agent shall notify Borrower if a Lender has failed
to make its Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing.
(d) Borrower may revoke a Notice of Borrowing that requests a LIBOR
Rate Borrowing --and not be liable for any resulting Funding Loss -- if,
before the LIBOR Rate for the requested Borrowing is established, SECTION
3.15 or 3.17 becomes applicable to it.
2.3 LCs.
---
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement and
applicable Law, Agent (itself or through one of its Affiliates, and
references in this SECTION 2.3 to AGENT include those Affiliates) agrees to
issue LCs upon Borrower's making or delivering an LC Request and delivering
an LC Agreement, both of which must be received by Agent no later than on
the Business Day before the requested LC is to be issued, so long as each
LC must expire on or before the earlier of either three Business Days
before the Stated Termination Date or one year after its issuance.
(b) Immediately upon Agent's issuance of any LC, Agent is deemed to
have sold and transferred to each other Lender, and each other Lender is
deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from
Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation to the extent of that Lender's Commitment Percentage in the
LC and all applicable Rights of Agent in the LC -- other than Rights to
receive certain fees provided in SECTION 4.4 to be for Agent's sole
account.
(c) To induce Agent to issue and maintain LCs, and to induce Lenders
to participate in issued LCs, Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse Agent (i)
on the date when any draw request is presented under any LC, the amount
paid or to be paid by Agent and (ii) promptly, upon demand, the amount of
any additional fees Agent customarily charges for the application and
issuance of an LC, for amending LC Agreements, for honoring draw requests,
and for taking similar action in connection with letters of credit. If
Borrower has not reimbursed Agent for any draws paid or to be paid on the
date of Agent's demand for reimbursement, Agent is irrevocably authorized
to fund Borrower's reimbursement obligations as an Alternate Base Rate
Borrowing if proceeds are available under this agreement for it and if the
conditions in this agreement for such a Borrowing (other than any notice
requirements or minimum funding amounts)
13
<PAGE>
have, to Agent's knowledge, been satisfied. The proceeds of that Borrowing
shall be advanced directly to Agent to pay Borrower's unpaid reimbursement
obligations. If funds cannot be so advanced under this agreement, then
Borrower's reimbursement obligation constitutes a demand obligation.
Borrower's obligations under this section are absolute and unconditional
under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff,
counterclaim, or defense to payment that Borrower may have at any time
against Agent or any other Person. From Agent's demand for reimbursement
to the date paid (including any payment from proceeds of an Alternate Base
Rate Borrowing), unpaid reimbursement amounts accrue interest that is
payable on demand at the Default Rate thereafter.
(d) Agent shall promptly notify Borrower of the date and amount of any
draw request presented for honor under any LC (but failure to give notice
does not affect Borrower's obligations under this agreement). Agent shall
pay the requested amount upon presentment of a draw request unless
presentment on its face does not comply with the terms of the applicable
LC. When making payment, Agent may disregard (i) any default or potential
default that exists under any other agreement and (ii) obligations under
any other agreement that have or have not been performed by the beneficiary
or any other Person (and Agent is not liable for any of those obligations).
Borrower's reimbursement obligations to Agent and Lenders, and each
Lender's obligations to Agent, under this section are absolute and
unconditional irrespective of, and Agent is not responsible for, (i) the
validity, enforceability, sufficiency, accuracy, or genuineness of
documents or endorsements (even if they are in any respect invalid,
unenforceable, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent, or forged), (ii) any
dispute by any KPP Company with or any KPP Company's claims, setoffs,
defenses, counterclaims, or other Rights against Agent, any Lender, or any
other Person, or (iii) the occurrence of any Potential Default or Default.
However, nothing in this agreement constitutes a waiver of Borrower's
Rights to assert any claim or defense based upon the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender. Agent shall promptly distribute
reimbursement payments received from Borrower to all Lenders according to
their Commitment Percentage.
(e) If Borrower fails to reimburse Agent as provided in CLAUSE (D)
above within 24 hours after Agent's demand for reimbursement, and funds
cannot be advanced as a Borrowing under SECTION 2.2 to satisfy the
reimbursement obligations, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of
Borrower's failure, of the date and amount paid, and of each Lender's
Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed amount. Each Lender shall
promptly and unconditionally make available to Agent in immediately
available funds its Commitment Percentage of the unpaid reimbursement
obligation. Funds are due and payable to Agent before the close of
business on the Business Day when Agent gives notice to each Lender of
Borrower's reimbursement failure (if notice is given before 1:00 p.m.) or
on the next succeeding Business Day (if notice is given after 1:00 p.m.).
All amounts payable by any Lender accrue interest after the due date at the
Federal-Funds Rate from the day the applicable draw is paid by Agent to
(but not including) the date the amount is paid by the Lender to Agent.
(f) Agent agrees with each Lender that it will exercise and give the
same care and attention to each LC as it gives to its other letters of
credit. Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any draw under any
LC, Agent has no responsibility to obtain any document (other than any
documents expressly required by the respective LC) or to ascertain or
inquire as to any document's validity, enforceability, sufficiency,
accuracy, or genuineness or the authority of any Person delivering it.
Neither Agent nor its Representatives will be liable to any Lender or any
KPP Company for any LC's use or for any beneficiary's acts or omissions.
Any action, inaction, error, delay, or omission taken or suffered by Agent
or any of its Representatives in connection with any LC, applicable draws
or documents, or the transmission, dispatch, or delivery of any related
message or advice, if in good faith and in conformity with applicable Laws
and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform
Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision),
International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 (as amended or
modified), is binding upon the KPP Companies and Lenders and does not place
14
<PAGE>
Agent or any of its Representatives under any resulting liability to any
KPP Company or any Lender. Agent is not liable to any KPP Company or any
Lender for any action taken or omitted, in the absence of gross negligence
or willful misconduct, by Agent or its Representative in connection with
any LC.
(g) On the Termination Date and if requested by Determining Lenders
while a Default exists, Borrower shall provide Agent, for the benefit of
Lenders, cash collateral in an amount to equal the then-existing LC
Exposure.
(h) INDEMNIFICATION. BORROWER SHALL PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, PAY, AND SAVE
---------------
AGENT, EACH LENDER, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES HARMLESS FROM AND
AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS,
CHARGES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) WHICH ANY OF
THEM MAY INCUR OR BE SUBJECT TO AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE ISSUANCE OF ANY LC,
ANY DISPUTE ABOUT IT, THE FAILURE OF AGENT TO HONOR A DRAFT OR DRAW REQUEST
UNDER ANY LC AS A RESULT OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION (WHETHER RIGHT OR WRONG) OF
ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE TRIBUNAL, OR ANY OF THEIR SOLE OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY
NEGLIGENCE. However, no Person is entitled to indemnity under the
foregoing for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(i) LC Agreements. Although referenced in any LC, terms of any
-------------
particular agreement or other obligation to the beneficiary are not
incorporated into this agreement in any manner. The fees and other amounts
payable with respect to each LC are as provided in this agreement, draws
under each LC are part of the Obligation, only the events specified in this
agreement as a Default constitute a default under any LC, and the terms of
this agreement control any conflict between the terms of this agreement and
any LC Agreement.
2.4 Termination. Without premium or penalty, and upon giving at least
-----------
three Business Days prior written and irrevocable notice to Agent, Borrower may
terminate all or part of the unused portion of the total Commitments. Each
partial termination must be at least $1,000,000 or a $50,000 greater multiple
and must be ratable for Lenders based on their respective Commitment
Percentages. Once terminated, no part of any Commitment may be reinstated
without the prior written approval of all Lenders.
SECTION 3 PAYMENT TERMS.
--------- -------------
3.1 Notes and Payments.
------------------
(a) Principal Debt of Borrowings under SECTION 2.2 shall be evidenced
by the Notes, one payable to each Lender in the stated principal amount of
its Commitment. Principal Debt of drawings under LCs shall be evidenced by
this agreement and all related LC Agreements.
(b) Borrower must make each payment and prepayment on the Obligation
to Agent's principal office in Dallas, Texas, by wire transfer according to
Agent's wiring instructions on SCHEDULE 2.1, in funds that will be
available for immediate use by Agent by 12:00 Noon on the day due.
Otherwise, but subject to SECTION 3.8, those funds continue to accrue
interest as if they were received on the next Business Day. Agent shall
pay to each Lender, by wire transfer according to its wiring instructions
on SCHEDULE 2.1, any payment or prepayment to which that Lender is entitled
on the same day Agent receives the funds from Borrower if Agent receives
the payment or prepayment before 12:00 Noon, and otherwise before 12:00
Noon on the following Business Day. If and to the extent that Agent does
not make payments to Lenders when due, unpaid amounts shall accrue interest
at an annual rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate from the due date until
(but not including) the payment date.
15
<PAGE>
3.2 Interest and Principal Payments.
-------------------------------
(a) Accrued interest on each LIBOR Rate Borrowing is due and payable
on the last day of its respective Interest Period. If any Interest Period
is a period greater than three months, then accrued interest is also due
and payable on the date ending each three month period after the
commencement of the Interest Period. Accrued interest on each Alternate
Base Rate Borrowing is due and payable on the last day of each February,
May, August, and November (commencing February 28, 1995), with a final
scheduled interest payment on Borrowings on the Termination Date.
(b) Borrower shall repay all Principal Debt (together with all
accrued and unpaid interest) by no later than the Termination Date.
(c) If any of the limitations in SECTION 2.1 are ever exceeded, then
Borrower shall prepay the Principal Debt, in at least the amount of that
excess, together with (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal
amount so prepaid and (ii) any resulting Funding Loss.
3.3 Interest Options. Except where specifically otherwise provided,
----------------
Borrowings bear interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of either (a) the
Alternate Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate (in each case as designated or deemed
designated by Borrower), as the case may be, or (b) the Maximum Rate. Each
change in the Alternate Base Rate, the Applicable Margin, and the Maximum Rate
is effective, without notice to Borrower or any other Person, upon the effective
date of change.
3.4 Quotation of Rates. A Responsible Officer of Borrower may call Agent
------------------
before delivering a Notice of Borrowing to receive an indication of the interest
rates then in effect, but the indicated rates do not bind Agent or Lenders or
affect the interest rate that is actually in effect when Borrower delivers its
Notice of Borrowing or on the Borrowing Date.
3.5 Default Rate. If permitted by Law, all past-due Principal Debt and
------------
accrued interest thereon bears interest from maturity (stated or by
acceleration) at the Default Rate until paid, regardless whether payment is made
before or after entry of a judgment.
3.6 Interest Recapture. If the designated interest rate applicable to
------------------
any Borrowing exceeds the Maximum Rate, the interest rate on that Borrowing is
limited to the Maximum Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the designated
rate shall not reduce the interest rate thereon below the Maximum Rate until the
total amount of accrued interest equals the amount of interest that would have
accrued if that designated rate had always been in effect. If at maturity
(stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of the Notes, the total
interest paid or accrued is less than the interest that would have accrued if
the designated rates had always been in effect, then, at that time and to the
extent permitted by Law, Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the difference
between (a) the lesser of the amount of interest that would have accrued if the
designated rates had always been in effect and the amount of interest that would
have accrued if the Maximum Rate had always been in effect, and (b) the amount
of interest actually paid or accrued on the Notes.
3.7 Interest Calculations.
---------------------
(a) Interest will be calculated on the basis of actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed but computed
as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days for LIBOR Rate Borrowings
and Alternate Base Rate Borrowings based on Secondary CD Rate or the
Federal Funds Rate (unless the calculation would result in an interest rate
greater than the Maximum Rate, in which event interest will be calculated
on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be), and 365 or
366 days, as the case may be, for Alternate Base Rate Borrowings based on
the Prime Rate. All interest rate determinations and calculations by Agent
are conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
16
<PAGE>
(b) The provisions of this agreement relating to calculation of the
Alternate Base Rate and the LIBOR Rate are included only for the purpose of
determining the rate of interest or other amounts to be paid under this
agreement that are based upon those rates. Each Lender may fund and
maintain its funding of all or any part of each Borrowing as it selects.
3.8 Maximum Rate. Regardless of any provision contained in any Loan
------------
Paper, no Lender is entitled to contract for, charge, take, reserve, receive, or
apply, as interest on all or any part of the Obligation any amount in excess of
the Maximum Rate, and, if Lenders ever do so, then any excess shall be treated
as a partial prepayment of principal and any remaining excess shall be refunded
to Borrower. In determining if the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum
Rate, Borrower and Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under
applicable Law, (a) treat all Borrowings as but a single extension of credit
(and Lenders and Borrower agree that that is the case and that provision in this
agreement for multiple Borrowings is for convenience only), (b) characterize any
nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (c)
exclude voluntary prepayments and their effects, and (d) amortize, prorate,
allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire
contemplated term of the Obligation. However, if the Obligation is paid in full
before the end of its full contemplated term, and if the interest received for
its actual period of existence exceeds the Maximum Amount, Lenders shall refund
any excess (and Lenders may not, to the extent permitted by Law, be subject to
any penalties provided by any Laws for contracting for, charging, taking,
reserving, or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Amount). If the Laws
of the State of Texas are applicable for purposes of determining the "Maximum
Rate" or the "Maximum Amount," then those terms mean the "indicated rate
ceiling" from time to time in effect under Article 1.04, Title 79, Revised Civil
Statutes of Texas, as amended. Borrower agrees that Chapter 15, Subtitle 79,
Revised Civil Statutes of Texas, 1925, as amended (which regulates certain
revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts), does not apply
to the Obligation.
3.9 Interest Periods. When Borrower requests any LIBOR Rate Borrowing,
----------------
Borrower may elect the applicable interest period (each an "INTEREST PERIOD"),
which may be, at Borrower's option, one, two, three, or six months, subject to
the following conditions: (a) the initial Interest Period commences on the
applicable Borrowing Date or conversion date, and each subsequent applicable
Interest Period commences on the day when the next preceding applicable Interest
Period expires; (b) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which no
numerically corresponding Business Day in the calendar month at the end of the
Interest Period exists, then the Interest Period ends on the last Business Day
of that calendar month; (c) no Interest Period for any portion of Principal Debt
may extend beyond the scheduled repayment date for that portion of Principal
Debt; and (d) no more than five Interest Periods may be in effect at one time.
3.10 Conversions. Subject to the dollar limits and denominations of
-----------
SECTION 2.1, Borrower may (a) convert a LIBOR Rate Borrowing on the last day of
the applicable Interest Period to an Alternate Base Rate Borrowing, (b) convert
an Alternate Base Rate Borrowing at any time to a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, and (c)
elect a new Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, by giving a Notice of
Conversion to Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. on the third Business Day before
the conversion date or the last day of the Interest Period, as the case may be
(for conversion to a LIBOR Rate Borrowing or election of a new Interest Period),
and no later than 10:00 a.m. one Business Day before the last day of the
Interest Period (for conversion to an Alternate Base Rate Borrowing). Absent
Borrower's notice of conversion or election of a new Interest Period, a LIBOR
Rate Borrowing shall be deemed converted to an Alternate Base Rate Borrowing
effective when the applicable Interest Period expires.
3.11 Order of Application. The following provisions apply except when and
--------------------
to the extent superseded by SECTION 4.09 of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(a) If no Default or Potential Default exists, payments on the
Obligation must be applied as required by applicable Loan Paper provisions
other than CLAUSE (B) below.
17
<PAGE>
(b) If a Default or Potential Default exists, any payment must be
applied in the following order: (i) all fees and expenses for which Agent
or Lenders have not been paid or reimbursed in accordance with the Loan
Papers (and if such payment is less than all unpaid or unreimbursed fees
and expenses, then the payment shall be paid against unpaid and
unreimbursed fees and expenses in the order of incurrence or due date);
(ii) accrued interest on the Principal Debt; (iii) the remaining Principal
Debt in the order as Determining Lenders may elect (but Determining Lenders
agree to apply payments in an order that will minimize any Funding Loss);
and (iv) the remaining Obligation in the order and manner Determining
Lenders deem appropriate.
(c) Agent and Lenders shall attempt to apply mandatory payments
against the Obligation in a manner that minimizes Funding Losses.
3.12 Sharing of Payments, Etc.. If any Lender obtains any payment
-------------------------
(whether voluntary, involuntary, or otherwise, including, without limitation, as
a result of exercising its Rights under SECTION 3.13) that exceeds its
Commitment Percentage (or, if a Default exists, its Default Percentage) of that
amount, then that Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders participations
that will cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with
each other Lender per their respective Commitment Percentages or Default
Percentages, as applicable. If all or any portion of any excess payment is
subsequently recovered from the purchasing Lender, then the purchase shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of the recovery.
Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender
under this SECTION 3.12 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise
all of its Rights of payment (including the Right of offset) with respect to
that participation as fully as if that Lender were the direct creditor of
Borrower in the amount of that participation.
3.13 Offset. If a Default exists, each Lender is entitled to exercise
------
(for the benefit of all Lenders in accordance with SECTION 3.12) the Rights of
offset and banker's Lien against each and every account and other property, or
any interest therein, that any party to a Loan Paper (other than Lenders and
Agent) may now or hereafter have with, or which is now or hereafter in the
possession of, that Lender to the extent of the full amount of the Obligation
owed to it. Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of its actions taken
under this SECTION 3.13.
3.14 Booking Borrowings. To the extent permitted by Law, any Lender may
------------------
make, carry, or transfer its Borrowings at, to, or for the account of any of its
branch offices or the office of any of its Affiliates. However, no Affiliate is
entitled to receive any greater payment under SECTION 3.16 than the transferor
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to those Borrowings.
Each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its
internal policies and applicable Law) to make, carry, maintain, or transfer its
part of any Borrowing with its Affiliates or branch offices in an effort to
eliminate or reduce to the extent possible the aggregate amounts due to it under
SECTIONS 3.16 and 3.17 if, in its reasonable judgment, such efforts will not be
disadvantageous to it.
3.15 Basis Unavailable or Inadequate for LIBOR Rate. If, on or before any
----------------------------------------------
date when a LIBOR Rate is to be determined for a Borrowing, Agent or any Lender
determines (and Determining Lenders agree with that determination) that the
basis for determining the applicable rate is not available or that the resulting
rate does not accurately reflect the cost to Lenders of making or converting
Borrowings at that rate for the applicable Interest Period, then Agent shall
promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of that determination (which is conclusive
and binding on Borrower absent manifest error). Unless Borrower has revoked the
applicable Notice of Borrowing under SECTION 2.2(D), the applicable Borrowing
shall bear interest at the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin. Until Agent notifies Borrower that those circumstances no longer exist,
Lenders' commitments under this agreement to make or convert to LIBOR Rate
Borrowings are suspended.
18
<PAGE>
3.16 Additional Costs.
----------------
(a) With respect to any LIBOR Rate Borrowing, (i) if any present or
future Law imposes, modifies, or deems applicable (or if compliance by any
Lender with any requirement of any Tribunal results in) any requirement
that any reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency,
supplemental, or special reserves) be maintained, and if (ii) those
reserves reduce any sums receivable by that Lender under this agreement or
increase the costs incurred by that Lender in advancing or maintaining any
portion of any LIBOR Rate Borrowing and (iii) that Lender determines that
the reduction or increase is material (and it may, in determining the
material nature of the reduction or increase, utilize reasonable
assumptions and allocations of costs and expenses and use any reasonable
averaging or attribution method), then (iv) that Lender (through Agent)
shall deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail
the calculation of the amount necessary to compensate it for its reduction
or increase (which certificate is conclusive and binding absent manifest
error), and (iv) Borrower shall pay that amount to that Lender within ten
days after demand. The provisions of and undertakings and indemnification
set forth in this CLAUSE (A) shall survive the satisfaction and payment of
the Obligation and termination of this agreement.
(b) With respect to any Borrowing, if any present or future Law
regarding capital adequacy or compliance by any Lender with any request,
directive, or requirement now existing or hereafter imposed by any Tribunal
regarding capital adequacy, or any change in its written policies or in the
risk category of this transaction, reduces the rate of return on its
capital as a consequence of its obligations under this agreement to a level
below that which it otherwise could have achieved (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by it to be material (and it may, in determining the amount, utilize
reasonable assumptions and allocations of costs and expenses and use any
reasonable averaging or attribution method), then (unless the effect is
already reflected in the rate of interest then applicable under this
agreement) that Lender (through Agent) shall notify Borrower and deliver to
Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation
of the amount necessary to compensate it (which certificate is conclusive
and binding absent manifest error), and Borrower shall pay that amount to
Lender within ten days after demand. The provisions of and undertakings
and indemnification set forth in this CLAUSE (B) shall survive the
satisfaction and payment of the Obligation and termination of this
agreement.
(c) Any Taxes payable by Agent or any Lender or ruled (by a Tribunal)
payable by Agent or any Lender in respect of this agreement or any other
Loan Paper shall -- if permitted by Law and if deemed material by that
Agent or Lender (who may, in determining the material nature of the amount
payable, utilize reasonable assumptions and allocations of costs and
expenses and use any reasonable averaging or attribution method) -- be paid
by Borrower, together with interest and penalties, if any (except for Taxes
payable on the overall net income of that Agent or that Lender and except
for interest and penalties incurred as a result of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender). That Agent or Lender (through
Agent) shall notify Borrower and deliver to Borrower a certificate setting
forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of payable Taxes,
which certificate is conclusive and binding (absent manifest error), and
Borrower shall pay that amount to Agent for the account of that Agent or
Lender, as the case may be, within ten days after demand. If that Agent or
that Lender subsequently receives a refund of the Taxes paid to it by
Borrower, then the recipient shall promptly pay the refund to Borrower.
3.17 Change in Laws. If any Law makes it unlawful for any Lender to make
--------------
or maintain LIBOR Rate Borrowings, then that Lender shall promptly notify
Borrower and Agent, and (a) as to undisbursed funds, that requested Borrowing
shall be made as an Alternate Base Rate Borrowing unless Borrower has revoked
the applicable Notice of Borrowing under SECTION 2.2(D), (b), as to any
outstanding Borrowing, (i) if maintaining the Borrowing until the last day of
the applicable Interest Period is unlawful, the Borrowing shall be converted to
an Alternate Base
19
<PAGE>
Rate Borrowing as of the date of notice, and Borrower shall pay any related
Funding Loss, or (ii) if not prohibited by Law, the Borrowing shall be converted
to an Alternate Base Rate Borrowing as of the last day of the applicable
Interest Period, or (iii) if any conversion will not resolve the unlawfulness,
Borrower shall promptly prepay the Borrowing, without penalty, together with any
related Funding Loss. No Notice of Conversion is required to be delivered in
connection with any conversion under this SECTION 3.17.
3.18 Foreign Lenders. Each Lender that is organized under the laws of any
---------------
jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any of its states (a)
represents to Agent and Borrower that (i) no Taxes are required to be withheld
by Agent or Borrower with respect to any payments to be made to it in respect of
the Obligation and (ii) it has furnished to Agent and Borrower two duly
completed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224, Form 1001,
or Form W-8 (wherein it claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S.
federal withholding Tax on all interest payments under the Loan Papers), and (b)
covenants to (i) provide Agent and Borrower a new Form 4224, Form 1001, or Form
W-8 upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form
according to Law, duly executed and completed by it, and (ii) comply from time
to time with all Laws with regard to the withholding tax exemption. If any of
the foregoing is not true or the applicable forms are not provided, then
Borrower and Agent (without duplication) may deduct and withhold from interest
payments under the Loan Papers United States federal income Tax at the full rate
applicable under the Code.
3.19 Funding Loss. Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender against, and
------------
pay to it upon demand, any Funding Loss of that Lender. When any Lender demands
that Borrower pay any Funding Loss, that Lender shall deliver to Borrower and
Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for imposing
Funding Loss and the calculation of the amount, which calculation is conclusive
and binding absent manifest error. The provisions of and undertakings and
indemnification set forth in this SECTION 3.19 survives the satisfaction and
payment of the Obligation and termination of this agreement.

claim of infringement of any license, patent, copyright, service mark,
trademark, trade name, trade secret, or other intellectual property right of
others, other than any infringements or claims that, if successfully asserted

9.9 Distributions. No KPP Company or Restricted Subsidiary may enter
-------------
into or permit to exist any arrangement or agreement that prohibits it from
paying Distributions to its equity holders -- other than this agreement and its
charter documents in effect as of the date of this agreement -- and neither KPP

(a) if it would violate the KPP Partnership Agreement or Borrower
Partnership Agreement or a Default or Potential Default is continuing; or
(b) for (i) Borrower, the total Distributions paid by it in any
calendar quarter would exceed 100% of the "Borrower Available Cash" for the
calendar quarter immediately preceding the quarter in which those
Distributions are paid, or (ii) KPP, the total Distributions paid by it in
any calendar quarter would exceed the "KPP Available Cash" that constitutes
"Cash from Operations" or "Cash from Interim Capital Transactions" for the
calendar quarter immediately preceding the quarter in which those
Distributions are paid.
For purposes of this SECTION 9.9 only:
BORROWER AVAILABLE CASH means, with respect to any calendar quarter
(i) the sum of (a) all cash receipts of Borrower during that quarter from
all sources, plus (b) any reduction in reserves established in prior
quarters, minus (ii) the sum of (aa) all cash disbursements of Borrower
during that quarter, including, without limitation, disbursements for
operating expenses, debt service (including the payment of principal,
premium, and interest), capital expenditures, and contributions, if any, to
any Subsidiary (but excluding all cash Distributions by Borrower), plus
(bb) any reserves established in that quarter in such amounts as KPC
determines in its reasonable discretion to be necessary or appropriate to
provide for the proper conduct of Borrower's business (including reserves
for future capital expenditures), plus (cc) any other reserves established
in that quarter in such amounts as KPC determines in its reasonable
discretion to be necessary because the Distribution of those amounts would
be prohibited by applicable Law or by any loan agreement, security
agreement, mortgage, debt instrument, or other agreement or obligation to
which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound or its assets are
subject. For purposes of this definition, notwithstanding the foregoing,
"Borrower Available Cash" may not include any cash receipts or reductions
in reserves or take into account any disbursements made or reserves
established after commencement of the dissolution and liquidation of
Borrower.
CASH FROM INTERIM CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS means, on any day, the amount
of KPP Available Cash that KPC determines to be Cash from Interim Capital
Transactions in accordance with Section 5.3 of the KPP Partnership
Agreement.
CASH FROM OPERATIONS means, on any day before commencement of the
dissolution and liquidation of KPP -- on a cumulative basis -- the sum of
(a) the sum of all cash receipts of KPP plus $3,526,000 --including
Distributions of cash received from Borrower and excluding any cash
proceeds from any Interim Capital Transactions or Terminating Capital
Transactions during the period since the commencement of operations by KPP
through that day -- minus (b) the sum of (i) all cash operating
expenditures of KPP during that period, including, without limitation,
Taxes on KPP as an entity or Taxes paid by KPP on behalf of, or amounts
withheld with respect to, all (but not less than all) of its unitholders,
if any, plus (ii) all cash debt service payments of KPP during that period
-- other than payments or prepayments of principal and premium required by
reason of loan agreements (including covenants and default provisions
therein) or by lenders, in each case in connection with sales or other
dispositions of assets or made in connection with refinancings or
refundings of indebtedness (provided that any payment or prepayment of
principal, whether or not then due, must be determined at the election and
in the discretion of KPC, to be refunded or refinanced by any indebtedness
incurred or to be incurred by KPP simultaneously with or within 180 days
before or after that payment or prepayment to the extent of the principal
amount of that
32
<PAGE>
indebtedness so incurred), plus (iii) all cash capital expenditures of KPP
during that period -- other than (A) Expansive Capital Expenditures and (B)
cash expenditures made in payment of transaction expenses relating to
Interim Capital Transactions -- plus (iv) an amount equal to revenues
collected pursuant to a rate increase that are subject to possible refund,
plus (v) any additional reserves outstanding as of that day which KPP
determines in its reasonable discretion to be necessary or appropriate to
provide for the future cash payment of items of the type referred to in
CLAUSES (I) through (III) above, plus (vi) any reserves that KPC determines
in its reasonable discretion to be necessary or appropriate to provide
funds for Distributions with respect to any one or more of the next four
calendar quarters, all as determined on a consolidated basis and after
elimination of intercompany items and of the interest attributable to the
general partner interest in Borrower. For purposes of this definition,
Taxes paid by KPP on behalf of less than all of its unitholders may not be
considered cash operating expenditures of KPP which reduce "Cash from
Operations."
EXPANSIVE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES means cash capital expenditures made to
increase the throughput or deliverable capacity or terminaling capacity
(assuming normal operating conditions, including down-time and maintenance)
of the assets of KPP or Borrower, taken as a whole, from the throughput or
deliverable capacity or terminaling capacity (assuming normal operating
conditions, including down-time maintenance) existing immediately before
those capital expenditures. For purposes of this definition, when cash
capital expenditures are made in part to increase the throughput or
deliverable capacity or terminaling capacity of the assets of KPP, taken as
a whole, and in part for other purposes, KPP's good-faith allocation
thereof between the portion increasing capacity and the portion for other
purposes is conclusive.
INTERIM CAPITAL TRANSACTION means (a) borrowing and sales of debt
securities (other than for working capital purposes and items purchased on
open account in the ordinary course of business) by KPP or Borrower, (b)
sales of interest in KPP by KPP or Borrower, and (c) sales or other
voluntary or involuntary dispositions of any assets of KPP or Borrower,
other than (i) sales or other disposition of inventory in the ordinary
course of business, (ii) sales or other dispositions of other current
assets including receivables and accounts, or (iii) sales or other
dispositions of assets as a part of normal retirements or replacements --
in each case before the commencement of the dissolution and liquidation of
KPP.
KPP AVAILABLE CASH means, with respect to any calendar quarter (a) the
sum of (i) all cash receipts of KPP during that quarter from all sources
(including Distributions of cash received from Borrower) plus (ii) any
reduction in reserves established in prior quarters, minus (b) the sum of
(i) all cash disbursements of KPP during that quarter, including, without
limitation, disbursements for operating expenses, Taxes on KPP as an entity
or paid by KPP on behalf of, or amounts withheld with respect to, all (but
not less than all) of its unitholders, if any, debt service (including the
payment of principal, premium, and interest), capital expenditures, and
contributions, if any, to a subsidiary corporation or partnership (but
excluding all cash Distributions to its partners), plus (ii) any reserves
established in that quarter in such amounts as KPC determines in its
reasonable discretion to be necessary or appropriate (A) to provide for the
proper conduct of KPP's business (including reserves for future capital
expenditures) or (B) to provide funds for Distributions with respect to any
one or more of the next four calendar quarters, plus (iii) any other
reserves established in that quarter in such amounts as KPC determines in
its reasonable discretion to be necessary because the Distribution of such
amounts would be prohibited by applicable Law or by any loan agreement,
security agreement, mortgage, debt instrument, or other agreement or
obligation to which KPP is a party or by which it is bound or its assets
are subject. For purposes of this definition, Taxes paid by KPP on behalf
of, or amounts withheld with respect to, less than all of KPP's unitholders
may not be considered cash disbursements of KPP which reduce "KPP Available
Cash," and, notwithstanding the foregoing, "KPP Available Cash" may not
include any cash receipts or reductions in reserves or take into account
any disbursements made or reserves established after commencement of the
dissolution and liquidation of KPP.
33
<PAGE>

assets of KPP or Borrower following commencement of the dissolution and
liquidation of KPP or Borrower.

of KPP's consolidated partners' capital as of the end of the immediately
preceding fiscal year;
(e) a Transfer for cash so long as, within one year from the date of

SECTION 12 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
---------- -------------------
12.1 Remedies Upon Default.
---------------------
(a) If a Default exists under SECTION 11.3, the commitment to extend
credit under this agreement automatically terminates and the entire unpaid
balance of the Obligation automatically becomes due and payable without any
action of any kind whatsoever.
(b) If any Default exists, subject to the terms of SECTION 13.5(B),
Agent may (with the consent of, and must, upon the request of, Determining
Lenders), do any one or more of the following: (i) if the maturity of the
Obligation has not already been accelerated under SECTION 12.1(A), declare
the entire unpaid balance of all or any part of the Obligation immediately
due and payable, whereupon it is due and payable; (ii) terminate the
commitments of Lenders to extend credit under this agreement; (iii) reduce
any claim to judgment; (iv) to the extent permitted by Law, exercise (or
request each Lender to, and each Lender is entitled to, exercise) the
Rights of offset or banker's Lien against the interest of any KPP Company
in and to every account and other property of any KPP Company that are in
the possession of Agent or any Lender to the extent of the full amount of
the Obligation (and to the extent permitted by Law, each KPP Company is
deemed directly obligated to each Lender in the full amount of the
Obligation for this purpose); and (v) exercise any and all other legal or
equitable Rights afforded by the Loan Papers, the Laws of the State of
Texas, or any other applicable jurisdiction.
(c) If, in reliance on SECTION 13.5(B), Agent refuses to take any
action under SECTION 12.1(B) at the request of Determining Lenders, then
Determining Lenders may take that action.
12.2 KPP Company Waivers. To the extent permitted by Law, each KPP
-------------------
Company waives presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of intention
to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and notice of protest and nonpayment, and
agrees that its liability with respect to all or any part of the Obligation is
not affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of all or any
part of the Obligation, by any indulgence, or by any release or change in any
security for the payment of all or any part of the Obligation.
12.3 Performance by Agent. If any covenant, duty, or agreement of any KPP
--------------------
Company is not performed in accordance with the terms of the Loan Papers, Agent
may, while a Default exists, at its option (but
37
<PAGE>
subject to the approval of Determining Lenders), perform or attempt to perform
that covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of that KPP Company (and any amount
expended by Agent in its performance or attempted performance is payable by the
KPP Companies, jointly and severally, to Agent on demand, becomes part of the
Obligation, and bears interest at the Default Rate from the date of Agent's
expenditure until paid). However, Agent does not assume and shall never have,
except by its express written consent, any liability or responsibility for the
performance of any covenant, duty, or agreement of any KPP Company. Agent shall
promptly notify Borrower of any action taken under this SECTION 12.3.
12.4 Not in Control. None of the covenants or other provisions contained
--------------
in any Loan Paper shall, or shall be deemed to, give Agent or Lenders the Right
to exercise control over the assets (including, without limitation, real
property), affairs, or management of any KPP Company; the power of Agent and
Lenders is limited to the Right to exercise the remedies provided in this
SECTION 12.
12.5 Course of Dealing. The acceptance by Agent or Lenders of any partial
-----------------
payment on the Obligation shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Default then
existing. No waiver by Agent, Determining Lenders, or Lenders of any Default
shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other then-existing or subsequent Default.
No delay or omission by Agent, Determining Lenders, or Lenders in exercising any
Right under the Loan Papers will impair that Right or be construed as a waiver
thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of
any Right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other Right under the Loan Papers or otherwise.
12.6 Cumulative Rights. All Rights available to Agent, Determining
-----------------
Lenders, and Lenders under the Loan Papers are cumulative of and in addition to
all other Rights granted to Agent, Determining Lenders, and Lenders at law or in
equity, whether or not the Obligation is due and payable and whether or not
Agent, Determining Lenders, or Lenders have instituted any suit for collection,
foreclosure, or other action in connection with the Loan Papers.
12.7 Application of Proceeds. Any and all proceeds ever received by Agent
-----------------------
or Lenders from the exercise of any Rights pertaining to the Obligation shall be
applied to the Obligation according to SECTION 3.
12.8 Diminution in Value of Collateral. Neither Agent nor any Lender has
---------------------------------
any liability or responsibility whatsoever for any diminution in or loss of
value of any collateral now or hereafter securing payment or performance of all
or any part of the Obligation (other than diminution in or loss of value caused
by its gross negligence or willful misconduct).
12.9 Certain Proceedings. Borrower will promptly execute and deliver, or
-------------------
cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates,
instruments, registration statements, and all other documents and papers Agent
or Determining Lenders reasonably request in connection with the obtaining of
any consent, approval, registration, qualification, permit, license, or
authorization of any Tribunal or other Person necessary or appropriate for the
effective exercise of any Rights under the Loan Papers. Because Borrower agrees
that Agent's and Determining Lenders' remedies at Law for failure of Borrower to
comply with the provisions of this paragraph would be inadequate and that that
failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, Borrower agrees that the
covenants of this paragraph may be specifically enforced.
SECTION 13 AGREEMENT AMONG LENDERS.
---------- -----------------------
13.1 Agent.
-----
(a) Each Lender appoints Agent (and Agent accepts appointment) as its
nominee and agent, in its name and on its behalf to: (i) act as its
nominee and on its behalf in and under all Loan Papers; (ii) take any
action that it properly requests under the Loan Papers (subject to the
concurrence of other
38
<PAGE>
Lenders as may be required under the Loan Papers); (iii) receive all
documents and items to be furnished to it under the Loan Papers; (iv) be
the secured party, mortgagee, beneficiary, recipient, and similar party in
respect of any collateral for the benefit of Lenders; (v) distribute to it
all material information, requests, documents, and items required to be
delivered to it under the Loan Papers after any KPP Company delivers the
same to Agent; and (vi) deliver to the appropriate Persons requests,
demands, approvals, and consents received from it. However, Agent may not
be required to take any action that exposes it to personal liability or
that is contrary to any Loan Paper or applicable Law.
(b) Each Lender appoints Agent (and Agent accepts appointment) as its
nominee and agent, in its name and on its behalf to: (i) arrange the means
whereby its funds are to be made available to Borrower under the Loan
Papers; and (ii) promptly distribute to it its ratable part of each payment
or prepayment (whether voluntary, as proceeds of collateral upon or after
foreclosure, as proceeds of insurance thereon, or otherwise) in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Papers. However, Agent may not be required to
take any action that exposes it to personal liability or that is contrary
to any Loan Paper or applicable Law.
(c) If the initial or any successor Agent ever ceases to be a party
to this agreement or if the initial or any successor Agent ever resigns
(whether voluntarily or at the request of Determining Lenders), then
Determining Lenders shall appoint the successor Agent from among the
Lenders (other than the resigning Agent). If Determining Lenders fail to
appoint a successor Agent within 30 days after the resigning Agent has
given notice of resignation or Determining Lenders have removed the
resigning Agent, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of Lenders,
appoint a successor Agent, which must be a commercial bank having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (as shown on its
most recently published statement of condition). Upon its acceptance of
appointment as successor Agent, the successor Agent succeeds to and becomes
vested with all of the Rights of the prior Agent, and the prior Agent is
discharged from its duties and obligations of Agent under the Loan Papers,
and each Lender shall execute the documents as any Lender, the resigning or
removed Agent, or the successor Agent reasonably request to reflect the
change. After Agent's resignation or removal as Agent under the Loan
Papers, the provisions of this SECTION 13 inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the
Loan Papers.
(d) Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, has the same Rights under the
Loan Papers as any other Lender and may exercise those Rights as if it were
not acting as Agent; the term "Lender" shall, unless the context otherwise
indicates, include Agent; and Agent's resignation or removal shall not
impair or otherwise affect any Rights that it has or may have in its
capacity as an individual Lender. Each Lender and Borrower agree that
Agent is not a fiduciary for Lenders or for Borrower or any other party to
a Loan Paper but simply is acting in the capacity described in this
agreement to alleviate administrative burdens for Borrower, Lenders, and
other parties to the Loan Papers, that Agent has no duties or
responsibilities to Lenders or Borrower or other parties to the Loan Papers
except those expressly set forth in the Loan Papers, and that Agent in its
capacity as a Lender has all Rights of any other Lender.
(e) Each KPP Company and Lender acknowledges and agrees that (i)
Agent is acting as agent for Lenders under the Loan Papers, is (directly or
through its Affiliates) the issuer of LCs under this agreement, is a Lender
under the Loan Papers, acted as the private-placement adviser to Borrower
and STI in respect of the transactions contemplated in the Note Agreements,
is acting as the Collateral Trustee, and is the lender to KPC under the KPC
Credit Agreement, and (ii) none of those roles constitutes a conflict of
interest for Agent. Furthermore, Agent may now or hereafter be engaged in
one or more loan, letter of credit, leasing, or other financing
transactions with a KPC Company, act as trustee or depositary for any KPC
Company, or otherwise be engaged in other transactions with any KPC Company
(collectively, the "OTHER ACTIVITIES") not the subject of the Loan Papers.
Without limiting the Rights of Lenders specifically set forth in the Loan
Papers, Agent is not responsible to account to Lenders for those other
39
<PAGE>
activities, and no Lender shall have any interest in any other activities,
any present or future guaranties by or for the account of any KPC Company
that are not contemplated or included in the Loan Papers, any present or
future offset exercised by Agent in respect of those other activities, any
present or future property taken as security for any of those other
activities, or any property now or hereafter in Agent's possession or
control that may be or become security for the obligations of any KPC
Company arising under the Loan Papers by reason of the general description
of indebtedness secured or of property contained in any other agreements,
documents, or instruments related to any of those other activities (but, if
any payments in respect of those guaranties or that property or the
proceeds thereof is applied by Agent to reduce the Obligation, then each
Lender is entitled to share ratably in the application as provided in the
Loan Papers).
13.2 Expenses. Each Lender shall pay its Default Percentage of any
--------
reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable
attorneys' fees and other costs of collection) incurred by Agent (while acting
in such capacity) in connection with any of the Loan Papers if Agent is not
reimbursed from other sources within 30 days after incurrence. Each Lender is
entitled to receive its Default Percentage of any reimbursement that it makes to
Agent if Agent is subsequently reimbursed from other sources.
13.3 Proportionate Absorption of Losses. Except as otherwise provided in
----------------------------------
the Loan Papers, nothing in the Loan Papers gives any Lender any advantage over
any other Lender insofar as the Obligation is concerned or to relieve any Lender
from ratably absorbing any losses sustained with respect to the Obligation
(except to the extent unilateral actions or inactions by any Lender result in
any KPP Company or any other obligor on the Obligation having any credit,
allowance, setoff, defense, or counterclaim solely with respect to all or any
part of that Lender's Default Percentage of the Obligation).
13.4 Delegation of Duties; Reliance. Subject to the Rights (including,
------------------------------
without limitation, any required consent) of Agent or any or all Lenders
described elsewhere in this agreement, a Lender may perform its duties and
exercise its Rights under the Loan Papers by or through Agent, and Lenders and
Agent may perform their duties and exercise their Rights under the Loan Papers
by or through their respective Representatives (but a Lender's Representatives
must work by or through Agent or their respective Representatives). Agent,
Lenders, and their respective Representatives (a) are entitled to rely upon (and
shall be protected in relying upon) any written or oral statement believed by it
or them to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or made by the proper
Person and, with respect to legal matters, upon opinion of counsel selected by
Agent or that Lender (but nothing in this CLAUSE (A) permits Agent to rely on
(i) oral statements if a writing is required by this agreement or (ii) any other
writing if a specific writing is required by this agreement), (b) are entitled
to deem and treat each Lender as the owner and holder of its Default Percentage
of the Principal Debt for all purposes until, subject to SECTION 14.11, written
notice of the assignment or transfer is given to and received by Agent (and any
request, authorization, consent, or approval of any Lender is conclusive and
binding on each subsequent holder, assignee, or transferee of or Participant in
that Lender's Default Percentage of the Principal Debt until that notice is
given and received), (c) are not deemed to have notice of the occurrence of a
Default unless a responsible officer of Agent, who handles matters associated
with the Loan Papers and transactions thereunder, has actual knowledge or Agent
has been notified by a Lender or Borrower, and (d) are entitled to consult with
legal counsel (including counsel for any KPP Company), independent accountants,
and other experts selected by Agent and are not liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of
counsel, accountants, or experts.
13.5 Limitation of Agent's Liability.
-------------------------------
(a) Neither Agent nor any of its respective Representatives will be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under the Loan
Papers in good faith and believed by it to be within the discretion or
power conferred upon it or them by the Loan Papers or be responsible for
the consequences of any error of judgment (except for fraud, gross
negligence, or willful misconduct), and neither Agent nor any of its
respective Representatives has a fiduciary relationship with any Lender by
virtue of the Loan Papers (but
40
<PAGE>
nothing in this agreement negates the obligation of Agent to account for
funds received by it for the account of any Lender).
(b) Unless indemnified to its satisfaction against loss, cost,
liability, and expense, Agent may not be compelled to do any act under the
Loan Papers or to take any action toward the execution or enforcement of
the powers thereby created or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of
the Loan Papers. If Agent requests instructions from Lenders, or
Determining Lenders, as the case may be, with respect to any act or action
in connection with any Loan Paper, Agent is entitled to refrain (without
incurring any liability to any Person by so refraining) from that act or
action unless and until it has received instructions. In no event,
however, may Agent or any of its Representatives be required to take any
action that it or they determine could incur for it or them criminal or
onerous civil liability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
no Lender has any right of action against Agent as a result of Agent's
acting or refraining from acting under this agreement in accordance with
instructions of Determining Lenders.
(c) Agent is not responsible to any Lender or any Participant for,
and each Lender represents and warrants that it has not relied upon Agent
in respect of, (i) the creditworthiness of any party to any Loan Paper and
the risks involved to that Lender, (ii) the effectiveness, enforceability,
genuineness, validity, or the due execution of any Loan Paper (other than
by Agent), (iii) any representation, warranty, document, certificate,
report, or statement made therein (other than by Agent) or furnished
thereunder or in connection therewith, (iv) the adequacy of any collateral
now or hereafter securing the Obligation or the existence, priority, or
perfection of any Lien now or hereafter granted or purported to be granted
on the collateral under any Loan Paper, or (v) observation of or compliance
with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of any Loan Paper on the
part of any KPP Company. Each Lender agrees to indemnify Agent and its
respective Representatives and hold them harmless from and against (but
limited to such Lender's Default Percentage of) any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
reasonable expenses, and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever that may be imposed on, asserted against, or incurred by them in
any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Papers or any action taken
or omitted by them under the Loan Papers if the applicable Person is not
reimbursed for such amounts by any KPP Company. Although Agent and its
respective Representatives have the right to be indemnified under this
agreement for its or their own ordinary negligence, none of those Persons
have the right to be indemnified under this agreement for its or their own
fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.
13.6 Default; Collateral. If a Default exists, Lenders agree to promptly
-------------------
confer in order that Determining Lenders or Lenders, as the case may be, may
agree upon a course of action for the enforcement of the Rights of Lenders; and
Agent is entitled to refrain from taking any action (without incurring any
liability to any Person for so refraining) unless and until it has received
instructions from Determining Lenders. In actions with respect to any property
of any KPP Company, Agent is acting for the ratable benefit of each Lender.
Agent shall hold, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders, any security it
receives for the Obligation or any guaranty of the Obligation it receives upon
or in lieu of foreclosure.
13.7 Limitation of Liability. No Lender or any Participant will incur any
-----------------------
liability to any other Lender or Participant except for acts or omissions in bad
faith, and neither Agent, Lender nor any Participant will incur any liability to
any other Person for any act or omission of Agent, any Lender, or any
Participant.
13.8 Relationship of Lenders. The Loan Papers do not create a partnership
-----------------------
or joint venture among Agent and Lenders or among Lenders.
41
<PAGE>
13.9 Collateral Matters.
------------------
(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the
Security Documents for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Each Lender agrees
that any action taken by Agent concerning any Collateral with the consent
of, or at the request of, all Lenders in accordance with the provisions of
this agreement, the Security Documents, or the other Loan Papers, and the
exercise by Agent (with the consent of, or at the request of, all Lenders)
of powers concerning any Collateral set forth in any Loan Paper, together
with other reasonably incidental powers, shall be authorized and binding
upon all Lenders.
(b) Agent is authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the
necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to
time before a Default or Potential Default, to take any action with respect
to any Collateral or Security Documents that may be necessary to perfect
and maintain perfected the Lender Liens upon the Collateral granted by the
Security Documents.
(c) Agent has no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other
Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any KPP Company
or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the
Liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Lenders under the Security
Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created,
perfected, protected, or enforced, or are entitled to any particular
priority.
(d) Agent shall exercise the same care and prudent judgment with
respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents as it normally and
customarily exercises in respect of similar collateral and security
documents.
(e) Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its
discretion, to release any Lender Lien upon any Collateral (i) upon full
payment of the Obligation; (ii) constituting property being sold or
disposed of as permitted under SECTION 9.10, if Agent determines that the
property being sold or disposed is being sold or disposed in accordance
with the requirements and limitations of SECTION 9.10; (iii) constituting
property in which no KPP Company owned any interest at the time the Lender
Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property
leased to any KPP Company under a lease that has expired or been terminated
in a transaction permitted under this agreement or is about to expire and
that has not been, and is not intended by that KPP Company to be, renewed;
or (v) consisting of an instrument evidencing Debt pledged to Agent (for
the benefit of Lenders), if the Debt evidenced thereby has been paid in
full. Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing
Agent's authority to release particular types or items of Collateral under
this SECTION 13.9(E).
13.10 Benefits of Agreement. None of the provisions of this SECTION 13
---------------------
inure to the benefit of any KPP Company or any other Person other than Agent and
Lenders; consequently, no KPP Company or any other Person is entitled to rely
upon, or to raise as a defense, in any manner whatsoever, the failure of Agent
or any Lender to comply with these provisions.
SECTION 14 MISCELLANEOUS.
---------- -------------
14.1 Nonbusiness Days. Any payment or action that is due under any Loan
----------------
Paper on a non-Business Day may be delayed until the next-succeeding Business

to take any action that is permitted as an exception to any of the covenants
contained in any Loan Paper if that action or omission would result in the
breach of any other covenant contained in any Loan Paper.
14.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, undertakings, representations,
--------
and warranties made in any of the Loan Papers survive all closings under the
Loan Papers and, except as otherwise indicated, are not affected by any
investigation made by any party.
14.6 Governing Law. The Laws (other than conflict-of-laws provisions) of
-------------
the State of Texas and of the United States of America govern the Rights and
duties of the parties to the Loan Papers and the validity, construction,
enforcement, and interpretation of the Loan Papers.
14.7 Invalid Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Paper held to be
------------------
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable is fully severable; the appropriate Loan
Paper shall be construed and enforced as if that provision had never been
included; and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and
shall not be affected by the severed provision. Agent, Lenders, Borrower, and
each other party to the affected Loan Paper shall negotiate, in good faith, the
terms of a replacement provision as similar to the severed provision as may be
possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.
14.8 Venue; Service of Process; Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO ANY LOAN PAPER,
-------------------------------------
IN EACH CASE FOR ITSELF, ITS SUCCESSORS AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS, (A) IRREVOCABLY
SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS OF THE
STATE OF TEXAS, (B) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW,
ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY
LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN PAPERS AND THE
OBLIGATION BROUGHT IN DISTRICT COURTS OF DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, OR IN THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, DALLAS DIVISION, (C)
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIMS THAT ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COURTS HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, (D) IRREVOCABLY
CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THOSE COURTS IN ANY LITIGATION
BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED,
POSTAGE PREPAID, BY HAND-DELIVERY, OR BY DELIVERY BY A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED
COURIER SERVICE, AND SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE UPON DELIVERY OF THE LEGAL
PROCESS AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, (E) IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY PARTY TO ANY LOAN PAPER ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN PAPERS OR THE OBLIGATION MAY BE BROUGHT IN ONE OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, AND (F) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PAPER. The scope of each of the
foregoing waivers is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes
that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of
43
<PAGE>
this transaction, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims,
breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. Borrower
acknowledges that these waivers are a material inducement to Agent's and each
Lender's agreement to enter into a business relationship, that Agent and each
Lender has already relied on these waivers in entering into this agreement, and
that Agent and each Lender will continue to rely on each of these waivers in
related future dealings. Borrower further warrants and represents that it has
reviewed these waivers with its legal counsel, and that it knowingly and
voluntarily agrees to each waiver following consultation with legal counsel.
THE WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 14.8 ARE IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT THEY MAY NOT BE
MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THESE WAIVERS SHALL APPLY TO ANY
SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS, AND REPLACEMENTS TO OR OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
LOAN PAPER. In the event of Litigation, this agreement may be filed as a
written consent to a trial by the court.
14.9 Amendments, Consents, Conflicts, and Waivers.
--------------------------------------------
(a) Unless otherwise specifically provided, (i) this agreement may be
amended only by an instrument in writing executed by Borrower, Agent, and
Determining Lenders and supplemented only by documents delivered or to be
delivered in accordance with the express terms of this agreement, and (ii)
the other Loan Papers may only be the subject of an amendment,
modification, or waiver that has been approved by Determining Lenders and
the Person(s) party to those other Loan Papers.
(b) Any amendment to or consent or waiver under this agreement or any
Loan Paper that purports to accomplish any of the following must be by an
instrument in writing executed by each party thereto (and, if not a party
thereto, Agent) and executed (or approved, as the case may be) by each
Lender: (i) extends the due date or decreases the amount of any scheduled
payment of the Obligation beyond the date specified in the Loan Papers;
(ii) decreases any rate or amount of interest, fees, or other sums payable
to Agent or Lenders under this agreement (except such reductions as are
contemplated by this agreement); (iii) changes the definition of
"COMMITMENT," "COMMITMENT PERCENTAGE," "DETERMINING LENDERS" or "STATED
TERMINATION DATE"; (iv) increases any one or more Lenders' Commitments; (v)
waives compliance with, amends, or releases (in whole or in part) any
Guaranty or any Collateral; or (vi) changes this CLAUSE (B) or any other
matter specifically requiring the consent of all Lenders under this
agreement.
(c) Any conflict or ambiguity between the terms and provisions of
this agreement and terms and provisions in any other Loan Paper is
controlled by the terms and provisions of this agreement.
(d) No course of dealing or any failure or delay by Agent, any
Lender, or any of their respective Representatives with respect to
exercising any Right of Agent or any Lender under this agreement operates
as a waiver thereof. A waiver must be in writing and signed by Agent and
Lenders (or Determining Lenders, if permitted under this agreement) to be
effective, and a waiver will be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which it is given.
14.10 Multiple Counterparts. Any Loan Paper may be executed in a number
---------------------
of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all
purposes and all of which constitute, collectively, one agreement; but, in
making proof of this agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account
for more than one counterpart. Each Lender need not execute the same
counterpart of this agreement so long as identical counterparts are executed by
Borrower, each Lender, and Agent. This agreement shall become effective when
counterparts of this agreement have been executed and delivered to Agent by each
Lender, Agent, and Borrower, or, in the case only of Lenders, when Agent has
received telecopied, telexed, or other evidence satisfactory to it that each
Lender has executed and is delivering to Agent a counterpart of this agreement.

<PAGE>
14.11 Successors and Assigns; Participations.
--------------------------------------
(a) Each Loan Paper binds and inures to the benefit of the parties
thereto, any intended beneficiary thereof, and each of their respective
successors and permitted assigns. No Lender may transfer, pledge, assign,
sell any participation in, or otherwise encumber its portion of the
Obligation except as permitted by this SECTION 14.11.
(b) Subject to the provisions of this section and in accordance with
applicable Law, any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial
banking business, at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a
"PARTICIPANT") participating interests in its portion of the Obligation.
The selling Lender shall remain a "Lender" under this agreement (and the
Participant shall not constitute a "Lender" under this agreement) and its
obligations under this agreement shall remain unchanged. The selling
Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its
obligations under the Loan Papers and shall remain the holder of its share
of the Commitment Usage for all purposes under this agreement. Each party
to any Loan Paper and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with
the selling Lender in connection with that Lender's Rights and obligations
under the Loan Papers. Participants have no Rights under the Loan Papers,
other than those of a Lender under SECTIONS 3, 8.1, 8.4, and 8.13, and
certain voting Rights as provided below. Subject to the following, each
Lender may obtain (on behalf of its Participants) the benefits of SECTION 3
with respect to all participations in its part of the Obligation
outstanding from time to time so long as Borrower is not obligated to pay
any amount in excess of the amount that would be due to that Lender under
SECTION 3 calculated as though no participations have been made. No Lender
may sell any participating interest under which the Participant has any
Rights to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any Loan Paper,
except to the extent the amendment, modification, or waiver extends the due
date for payment of any principal, interest, or fees due under the Loan
Papers, reduces the interest rate or the amount of principal or fees
applicable to the Obligation (except reductions contemplated by this
agreement), or releases any Guaranty or any collateral, if any, for the
Obligation (other than releases of collateral permitted by SECTION
13.9(E)). Except in the case of the sale of a participating interest to
another Lender, the relevant participation agreement shall prohibit the
Participant from transferring, pledging, assigning, selling participations
in, or otherwise encumbering its portion of the Obligation.
(c) Subject to the provisions of this section, any Lender may at any
time, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business, assign a
proportionate part (not less than $5,000,000) of all or any part of its
Rights and obligations under the Loan Papers (i) without the consent of any
Person (including, without limitation, any KPP Company or Agent) to any of
its Affiliates, and (ii) if no Default exists and if Borrower and Agent
first consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld), to any of
the following, if the potential assignee does not own any equity interests
or Rights (excluding Rights under the Security Documents) to acquire any
equity interests in any KSI Company: (A) a commercial bank that is
organized under Laws of the United States of America or any of its states
and has total assets in excess of $1,000,000,000; (B) a commercial bank
that is organized under the Laws of another country that is a member of the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (the "OECD") -- or a
political subdivision of any such country, has total assets in excess of
$1,000,000,000, and is acting either through its main office or a branch or
an agency that has total assets in excess of $1,000,000,000 and is located
in the country of its organization or another country that is also a member
of the OECD; (C) the central bank of any country that is a member of the
OECD; or (D) a finance company, insurance company, or other financial
institution or fund that has total assets in excess of $1,000,000,000.
Each such permitted assignee is called a "PURCHASER."
(d) In each case, the Purchaser shall assume those Rights and
obligations under an assignment agreement substantially in the form of the
attached EXHIBIT F. Each assignment under this SECTION 14.11(C) shall
include a ratable interest in the assigning Lender's Rights and obligations
under the Loan Papers.
45
<PAGE>
Upon (i) delivery of an executed copy of the assignment agreement to
Borrower and Agent and (ii) payment of a fee of $1,500 from the transferor
to Agent, from and after the assignment's effective date (which shall be
after the date of delivery), the Purchaser shall for all purposes be a
Lender party to this agreement and shall have all the Rights and
obligations of a Lender under this agreement to the same extent as if it
were an original party to this agreement with Commitments as set forth in
the assignment agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from
its obligations under this agreement to a corresponding extent, and, except
as provided in the following sentence, no further consent or action by
Borrower, Lenders, or Agent shall be required. Upon the consummation of
any transfer to a Purchaser under this CLAUSE (C), then (x) the then-
existing SCHEDULE 2.1 shall automatically be deemed to reflect the name,
address, and Commitment of such Purchaser, (y) Borrower shall execute and
deliver to each of the transferor Lender and the Purchaser a Note in the
face amount of its respective Commitment following transfer, and (z) upon
receipt of its new Note, the transferor Lender shall return to Borrower the
Note previously delivered to it under this agreement. A Purchaser is
subject to all the provisions in this section as if it were a Lender
signatory to this agreement as of the date of this agreement.
(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of any Person
(including, without limitation, any KPP Company or Agent), assign all or
any part of its Rights under the Loan Papers to a Federal Reserve Bank
without releasing the transferor Lender from its obligations thereunder.
(f) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this agreement, a
Lender may not sell or participate any of its interests for a purchase
price that, directly or indirectly, reflects a discount from face value,
without first offering the sale or participation to the other Lenders on a
Default Percentage basis (which must be accepted or rejected within five
Business Days after the offer).
14.12 Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain
-------------------------------------------------------------
Circumstances. Each Person's obligations under the Loan Papers remain in full
-------------
force and effect until the total Commitments are terminated and the Obligation
is paid in full (except for provisions under the Loan Papers expressly intended
to survive payment of the Obligation and termination of the Loan Papers). If at
any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other
amount payable by any KPP Company or any other obligor on the Obligation under
any Loan Paper is rescinded or must be restored or returned upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Person or otherwise, the obligations of
each Person under the Loan Papers with respect to that payment shall be
reinstated as though the payment had been due but not made at that time.
14.13 Entirety. THE LOAN PAPERS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN
--------
BORROWER, LENDERS, AND AGENT AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
