NOTICE OF FINAL APPROVAL OF SETTLEMENT AND PROOF OF CLAIM FORM

Pursuant to an order dated March 16, 1998 the Court approved preliminarily a settlement reached between the parties in this class action lawsuit. On July 13, 1998, the Court held a fairness hearing to determine whether the proposed settlement was fair, reasonable and adequate to the Settlement Class. On July 13, 1998, the Court issued an Order of Final Approval and Judgment, in which the Court found that: (i) certification of the Settlement Class pursuant to Rules 42(a) and (b)(4), Tex. R. Civ. P., was proper; (ii) the proposed settlement on the terms and conditions provided for in the Settlement Agreement was fair, reasonable and adequate and was thus approved by the Court; and (iii) Class Counsel have adequately represented the interests of Settlement Class Members. The time period within which any appeal, request for rehearing or review of the order of final approval may be filed has either expired or has been resolved. The Settlement reached between the parties to this action is now final according to its terms.

Under the proposed Settlement and for the benefit of each Settlement Class Member, Defendants have agreed to make available, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement, the following financial benefits to or on behalf of each Settlement Class Member.

a. Except as otherwise provided with respect to multiple purchases of Slick 50 Engine Treatment, each Settlement Class Member shall be entitled to receive one rebate form entitling the Settlement Class Member to a cash rebate of up to fifteen dollars ($15.00) payable upon the purchase, after the Effective Date of the Settlement, of products and/or services qualifying for such rebates (each a Qualifying Product"), provided that such Settlement Class Member: (i) satisfies all applicable qualification requirements and timely submits a valid proof of claim form (except as is otherwise provided with respect to identified Settlement Class Members); and (ii) timely submits a valid rebate form with the required proof of purchase of a Qualifying Product, in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Settlement Agreement and Notice of Proposed Settlement.

b. Settlement Class Members who have made multiple purchases of Slick 50 Engine Treatment prior to September 23, 1997, shall be entitled to one fifteen dollar ($15.00) rebate form for each such purchase, provided that the Settlement Class Member submits Proof of Purchase with the proof of claim form, for each purchase of Slick 50 Engine Treatment with respect to which a rebate form is sought. For example, if a Settlement Class Member made two purchases of Slick 50 Engine Treatment prior to September 23, 1997, proof of both purchases must be submitted for the Settlement Class Member to be eligible for a rebate form for each such prior purchase of Slick 50 Engine Treatment. Settlement Class Members seeking a rebate form for only one such prior purchase of Slick 50 Engine Treatment shall not be required to submit proof of that purchase.

To the extent that the total aggregate value of rebate forms made available to qualifying Settlement Class Members pursuant to sections (a) and (b) above is less than twenty million dollars ($20,000,000), Defendants shall, through a supplemental rebate offer, make available to Settlement Class Members additional proof of claim and rebate forms in an aggregate amount sufficient to reach a $20,000,000 minimum. Such rebate offer will entitle Settlement Class Members to a cash rebate (the Secondary Rebate") on a purchase of specified products, provided that the Settlement Class Member: (i) satisfies all applicable qualification requirements and timely submits a valid proof of claim form; and (ii) timely submits a valid rebate form with the required proof of purchase of a product for which such Secondary Rebates are available, in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Settlement Agreement. Secondary Rebates shall be available to all Settlement Class Members, including those who submitted proofs of claim, rebate forms, or received cash rebates pursuant to the initial rebate offer.
