W T I N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, FRP and Pennzoil desire to amend the Agreement as set forth in
this Amendment No. 1;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each
term used herein which is defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning
assigned to such term in the Agreement. Each reference to "hereof,"
"hereunder," "herein" and "hereby" and each reference to "this Agreement" and
each other similar reference contained in the Agreement shall refer to the
agreement as amended by this Amendment No. 1.
2. ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENT. The parties have agreed, as an accounting
convenience, to establish a financial accounting cut-off time (the
"Accounting Cut-Off") for the transaction of 12.:01 a.m. on January 1, 1995.
Accordingly, upon the occurrence of the Closing, the parties will make all
appropriate financial and accounting adjustments (including appropriate
payments to each other and to third parties) as if the Closing had occurred
at the Accounting Cut-Off. In particular, FRP will be entitled to record and
receive (and receive the benefit of) all operating revenues, inventories,
receivables and prepaid expenses generated from or with respect to the
Purchased Assets from and after the Accounting Cut-Off and shall record and
pay all payables and contract obligations incurred in connection with the
Purchased Assets (and all obligations of FRP to reimburse Pennzoil for
royalties as provided in the Agreement shall commence) from and after the
Accounting Cut-Off. Pennzoil's cash and cash equivalents on hand and in
banks as of the Accounting Cut-Off (except for Xxxxx Cash as of that time)
and all accounts, notes and other receivables attributable to the operation
of the Business prior to the Accounting Cut-Off shall continue to be Excluded
Assets, but all such items generated on or after the Accounting Cut-Off shall
be Purchased Assets. Similarly, all accounts payable attributable to the
operation of the Business prior to the Accounting Cut-Off shall continue to
be Excluded Liabilities, but all accounts payable attributable to the
operation of the Business on or after the Accounting Cut-Off shall be Assumed
Liabilities. The liquid sulphur inventory adjustment contemplated by
Section 2.10 of the Agreement shall be conducted as of the Accounting
Cut-Off, and sales of liquid sulphur inventory (or other inventory
constituting Purchased Assets) on or after the Accounting Cut-Off shall be
for the account and benefit of FRP. The prepaid expense adjustment
contemplated by Section 6.3 of the Agreement shall be made in respect of
prepaid expenses as they exist at the Accounting Cut-Off. The proration
provisions set forth in Sections 7.4 and 8.3 of the Agreement shall be made
as of the Accounting Cut-Off rather than as of the Closing Date. The first
Quarterly Period shall commence on January 1, 1995, and the last Quarterly
Period shall end on the earlier of December 31, 2014 and the date specified
in clause (v) of the definition of Quarterly Period. The term "Option Date"
shall mean January 1, 1999 and each subsequent third anniversary of the First
Option Date. For all other purposes of the Agreement, including without
limitation, determining the Purchased and Excluded Assets and the Assumed and
Excluded Liabilities, compliance with the representations and covenants set
forth in the Agreement, responsibility for damage, destruction or
condemnation of the assets and satisfaction of the conditions to Closing, the
references in the Agreement to the Closing Date shall mean the actual date of
the Closing.

tax purposes, the portion of the Purchase Price attributable to all Purchased
Assets located in the State of Florida shall be deemed to be $966,500.

retain an independent surveyor acceptable to all of the
parties to conduct a survey of the amount of solid sulphur
inventory above the Base Pad Sulphur at the Galveston

survey to be completed within 90 days of the Closing. The
surveyed volume components will be multiplied by the
densities of solid sulphur for each volume component, as are
proposed by the independent surveyor and approved by the
parties, to derive the weight of the solid sulphur. The sum
of the weights of all of the component volumes shall be
referred to as the "Solid Sulphur Amount."
