except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
4. The Optionee shall have the right to relinquish, subject to
Committee approval, any then exercisable portion of the Option hereby granted
for shares of Stock upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) The Optionee, his/her heirs or other legal
representatives, to the extent entitled to exercise the Option under
the terms hereof, in lieu of purchasing the entire number of shares
subject to purchase hereunder, shall have the right to relinquish all
or any part of the unexercised portion of the Option (to the extent
exercisable as provided in subparagraph (d) below) for a number of
shares of the Stock of the Company and an amount of cash to be
determined as follows:
(i) The written notice of exercise of such right of
relinquishment, provided for in subparagraph (b) below, shall
state the percentage, if any, of the Appreciated Value,
hereinafter defined, which such holder elects to receive in
cash (which percentage is called the "Cash Percentage"), such
Cash Percentage to
3
be in increments of ten percent (10%) of such Appreciated
Value up to (but not to exceed) fifty percent (50%) thereof;
(ii) The number of shares of Stock of the Company
issuable pursuant to such relinquishment shall be the number
of such shares, rounded to the next greater number of full
shares, as shall be equal to: one hundred percent (100%) less
the Cash Percentage, times the excess of (1) the aggregate
current market value of the shares of such Stock covered by
this Option or the portion thereof so relinquished over (2)
the aggregate purchase price for such shares specified above
(which excess is called the "Appreciated Value"), divided by
the then-current market value per share of such Stock; and
(iii) The amount of cash payable pursuant to such
relinquishment shall be an amount equal to the Appreciated
Value less the aggregate current market value of the issued
shares, which cash shall be paid by the Company subject to
such conditions as are deemed advisable by the Committee to
permit compliance by the Company with the withholding
provisions applicable to employers, including withholding
under the Code and applicable State law. If no cash payment is
to be made, or if the required tax withholding exceeds the
amount of the cash payment to be made, the amount of any such
required tax not so withheld from a cash payment must be
delivered by the Optionee to the Company with the notice
provided for in subparagraph (b), or the Optionee must make
other arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of
such withholding tax.
(b) Such right of relinquishment may be exercised
only upon receipt by the Company (at the address provided in
subparagraph (g) below) of a written notice of such relinquishment,
which shall be dated the date of election to make such relinquishment.
For purposes of the Plan, such date of election shall be deemed to be
the date when such notice is sent by registered or certified United
States mail (postage prepaid), if by mail, or when receipt is
acknowledged by the Company, if mailed by other than registered or
certified United States mail (postage prepaid), or if delivered by hand
or by any telegraphic communications equipment of the sender or
otherwise delivered.

Nothing contained in this subparagraph (b) shall limit the discretion
of the Committee to disapprove any election by the Optionee to exercise
a right of relinquishment.
(c) For purposes of this paragraph 4, the "current
market value" of a share of the Stock of the Company shall be its Fair
Market Value on the day on which written notice of relinquishment is
received by the Company.
(d) The Option hereby granted, or any portion
thereof, may be relinquished only to the extent that (i) it is
exercisable on the date written notice of relinquishment is received by
the Company and (ii) the Committee, subject to the provisions of
subparagraph (e) below, shall consent to the election of the Optionee
to relinquish the Option as set forth in such written notice of
relinquishment.
(e) The Committee shall have sole discretion to
consent to or disapprove any election by the Optionee or his/her heirs
or other legal representatives to relinquish such Option for Stock of
the Company and cash as provided in subparagraph (a) above. Neither the
Committee nor the Company shall be under any liability to any person by
reason of the Committee's disapproval of any election pursuant to this
paragraph 4.
(f) Neither this Option nor any right to relinquish
the same to the Company as contemplated by subparagraph (a) above,
shall be assignable or otherwise transferable except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution.

herein, the right of relinquishment granted hereby may be exercised by
written notice delivered by the holder to PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE
COMPANY, PENNZOIL PLACE, P. O. BOX 2967, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77252-2967,
which notice shall state the number of shares of Stock purchasable for
cash under the Option or the portion thereof being relinquished by such
holder in consideration of shares of Stock pursuant to the terms hereof
together with any Cash Percentage elected by such holder.
(h) Upon relinquishment of the Option or any portion
thereof for shares of Stock as provided herein, this Option or the
portion hereof so relinquished shall
5
thereupon terminate and be of no further force or effect, and the
Company shall have no further obligation to issue and deliver shares of
its Stock pursuant hereto.
(i) The obligation of the Company to issue and
deliver shares pursuant to the relinquishment of this Option shall be
subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such
filings with or approvals by any governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges as may be required and the Optionee agrees that
he/she will not exercise the right of relinquishment granted hereby,
and that the Company will have no obligation hereunder to effect such
relinquishment, if the exercise of such right or the consummation of
such relinquishment would constitute a violation by the Optionee or the
Company of any applicable law or regulation.
(j) Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph 4
to the contrary, this Option shall terminate and be of no force or
effect after the date specified by paragraph 3 hereof.
(k) Rights of relinquishment may not be exercised
unless the Appreciated Value exceeds zero.
5. Subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the
Plan, this Option may be exercised by written notice delivered (i) by registered
or certified United States mail (postage prepaid), which shall be effective as
of the date mailed, or (ii) by hand or by any telegraphic communications
equipment of the sender, which shall be effective as of the date receipt is
acknowledged by the Company, to PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE COMPANY, PENNZOIL PLACE,
P. O. BOX 2967, HOUSTON, TEXAS 77252-2967, or by any other procedure that may be
established and approved by the Committee. In addition to any information
required by paragraph 4 to exercise a right of relinquishment hereunder, such
written notice shall (1) state the number of shares with respect to which the
Option is being exercised, and (2) be accompanied by a check, cash or money
order payable to PENNZOIL-QUAKER STATE COMPANY in the full amount of the
purchase price for any shares being acquired other than pursuant to a right of
relinquishment or, at the option of the Optionee, accompanied by Stock
theretofore owned by such Optionee equal in value to the full amount of the
purchase price (or any combination of cash, check or such Stock). For purposes
of determining the amount, if any, of the purchase price satisfied by payment in
6
Stock, such Stock shall be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise. Any Stock delivered in satisfaction of all or a portion of the
purchase price shall be appropriately endorsed for transfer and assignment to
the Company. In addition, whether or not the options and shares covered by the
Plan have been registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the Company
may at its election require the Optionee to give a representation in writing
that he/she is acquiring such shares for his/her own account for investment and
not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any part
thereof.
If any law or regulation requires the Company to take any
action with respect to the shares specified in such notice, the time for
delivery thereof, which would otherwise be as promptly as possible, shall be
postponed for the period of time necessary to take such action.
6. (a) The Optionee agrees that, at any time prior to the
