incorrect endorsement shall not subject Lender to any
liability hereunder and shall not limit or otherwise affect

Credit Note.

Loan. The proceeds of the Advances comprising the Third
Advancing Credit Loan shall be used to pay for up to eighty-
five percent (85%) of the costs of Borrower for improvements

shall be increased to eighty percent (80%) and Borrower may
increase the amount borrowed hereunder on account of such
equipment to bring the total to eighty percent (80%) of the

outstanding hereunder, together with interest on the outstanding principal
balance hereof, at a varying rate per annum which shall from day to day be equal
to the lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law as the same

Article 5069-1.04, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes (and as the same may be
incorporated by reference in other Texas statutes), but otherwise without
limitation, that rate based upon the "indicated rate ceiling" or (b) the sum of
the Bank One Base Rate (hereinafter defined) of Payee in effect from day to day
plus one-fourth of one percent (1/4%), each such change in the rate of interest
charged hereunder to become effective, without notice to Maker, on the effective
date of each change in the Bank One Base Rate; provided however, if at any time
the rate of interest specified in clause (b) preceding shall exceed the Maximum
Rate, thereby causing the interest rate hereon to be limited to the Maximum

hereon if the rate specified in clause (b) preceding had at all times been in
effect.
Accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears during the term hereof, on the 1st day of each successive January,
April, July and October commencing on January 1, 1996, until payment in full of
the outstanding principal hereunder. All principal hereof, together with all

As used herein, the term "Bank One Base Rate" means, at any time the
lesser of (i) the rate of interest per annum then most recently established by
Payee as its Bank One Base Rate in effect from day to day, with each change in
the rate of interest charged as the Bank One Base Rate to become effective,
without notice to Maker, on the effective date of each change in the Bank One
Base Rate, such Bank One Base Rate to be computed on the basis of a year
composed of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day) or (ii) the Maximum Rate (as herein defined).
This note is the Revolving Credit Note provided for and as defined in
that certain Credit Agreement dated March 30, 1994 as amended by First Amendment

as the same may be amended or modified from time to time, are hereinafter
referred to as the "Agreement").
Maker may prepay the principal of this note upon the terms and
conditions specified in the Agreement. Maker may borrow, repay and reborrow
hereunder upon the terms and conditions specified in the Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
provisions of this note shall require the payment or permit the collection of
interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such
respect is herein provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in
this note or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction the provisions
of this paragraph shall govern and prevail, and neither Maker nor the sureties,
guarantors, successors or assigns of Maker shall be obligated to pay the excess
amount of such interest, or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance
or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. If for any reason interest in
excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed charged, required or permitted by any
court of competent jurisdiction, any such excess shall be applied as a payment
and reduction of the principal of indebtedness evidenced by this note; and, if
the principal amount hereof has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall
forthwith be paid to Maker.
If default be made in the payment of principal or interest under this
note and such default shall continue for three (3) Business Days after notice
thereof to Maker pursuant to the Agreement, as defined in the Agreement, or upon
the occurrence of any other Event of Default, as such term is defined in the
Agreement, the holder hereof may, at its option, declare the entire unpaid
principal of and accrued interest on this note immediately due and payable
without additional notice, demand or presentment, all of which are hereby
waived, and upon such declaration, the same shall become and shall be
immediately due and payable, and the holder hereof shall have the right to
foreclose or otherwise enforce all liens or security interests securing any sum
or sums owed by the holder hereof to Maker. Failure of the holder hereof to
exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the
same upon the occurrence of a subsequent Event of Default.

it understands that it can waive these rights and by Maker's execution of this

to notice of acceleration, and its right to presentment or other demand for
payment. The holder shall similarly have the right to deal in any way, at any
time, without one or more of the foregoing parties without notice to any other
party, and to grant any such party and extensions of time for payment of any of
said indebtedness, or to release part or all of the collateral securing this
note, or to grant any other indulgences or forbearances whatsoever, without
notice to any other party and without in any way affecting the personal
liability of any party hereunder.
This note is executed in renewal and extension, but not in novation or
discharge, of that certain Promissory Note dated December 20, 1994, in the
original principal amount of $17,000,000.00, executed by Maker for the benefit
of Payee.
Maker hereby authorizes the holder hereof to endorse on the Schedule
attached to this note or any continuation thereof, all advances made to Maker
hereunder and all payments made on account of the principal thereof, which
endorsements shall be prima facie evidence as to the outstanding principal
amount of this note; provided, however, any failure by the holder hereof to make

PROMISSORY NOTE
$11,622,000.00 Houston, Texas October 1, 1995
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, DRIL-QUIP, INC., a Texas corporation
("Maker"), hereby promises to pay to the order of BANK ONE, TEXAS, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, a national banking association ("Payee"), at its offices at 910
Travis, Houston, Xxxxxx County, Texas, in lawful money of the United States of
America, the principal sum of ELEVEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND AND
NO/100 DOLLARS ($11,622,000.00), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon as
hereinafter calculated, as follows:
(a) seven (7) quarterly installments each in the principal amount of
FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY-NINE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($579,000.00),
together with all accrued and unpaid interest, with the first of such
installments due and payable on January 1, 1996, and like successive
installments of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest due and payable
on the 1st day of each succeeding April, July, October and January
thereafter, through and including July 1, 1997; and
(b) an eighth (8th) and final installment in the amount of all
outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, due and payable on
the maturity of this note, October 1, 1997.
The outstanding principal balance hereof shall bear interest prior to
maturity at a varying rate per annum which shall from day to day be equal to the
lesser of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law as the same exists
from day to day during the term hereof ("Maximum Rate"), including, as to
Article 5069-1.04, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes (and as the same may be
incorporated by reference in other Texas statutes), but otherwise without
limitation, that rate based upon the "indicated rate ceiling" or (b) the sum of
the Bank One Base Rate (hereinafter defined) of Payee in effect from day to day
plus one-half of one percent (1/2%), each such change in the rate of interest
charged hereunder to become effective, without notice to Maker, on the effective
date of each change in the Bank One Base Rate; provided however, if at any time
the rate of interest specified in clause (b) preceding shall exceed the Maximum
Rate, thereby causing the interest rate hereon to be limited to the Maximum
Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Bank One Base Rate will not reduce
the rate of interest hereon below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of
interest accrued hereon equals the amount of interest which would have accrued
hereon if the rate specified in clause (b) preceding had at all times been in
effect. All past due principal and interest shall bear interest at the Maximum
Rate.

As used herein, the term "Bank One Base Rate" means, at any time the lesser
of (i) the rate of interest per annum then most recently established by Payee as
its Bank One Base Rate in effect from day to day, with each change in the rate
of interest charged as the Bank One Base Rate to become effective, without
notice to Maker, on the effective date of each change in the Bank One Base Rate,
such Bank One Base Rate to be computed on the basis of a year composed of 365
days for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day) or (ii) the Maximum Rate (as herein defined).
This note is the Term Note provided for and as defined in that certain
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 30, 1994 as amended by that
certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated December 20, 1994 and that
certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated December 13, 1995 by and
among Maker and Payee (such instrument as the same may be amended or modified
from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement").
Maker may prepay the principal of this note upon the terms and conditions
specified in the Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provisions of
this note shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in
excess of the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is herein
provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this note or
otherwise in connection with this loan transaction the provisions of this
paragraph shall govern and prevail, and neither Maker nor the sureties,
guarantors, successors or assigns of Maker shall be obligated to pay the excess
amount of such interest, or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance
or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. If for any reason interest in
excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed charged, required or permitted by any
court of competent jurisdiction, any such excess shall be applied as a payment
and reduction of the principal of indebtedness evidenced by this note; and, if
the principal amount hereof has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall
forthwith be paid to Maker.
If default be made in the payment of principal or interest under this note
and such default shall continue for three (3) Business Days after notice thereof
to Maker pursuant to the Agreement, as defined in the Agreement, or upon the
occurrence of any other Event of Default, as such term is defined in the
Agreement, the holder hereof may, at its option, declare the entire unpaid
principal of and accrued interest on this note immediately due and payable
without additional notice, demand or presentment, all of which are hereby
waived, and upon such declaration, the same shall become and shall be
immediately due and payable, and the holder hereof shall have the right to
foreclose or otherwise enforce all liens or security interests securing any sum
or sums owed by the holder hereof to Maker. Failure of the holder hereof to
exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the
same upon the occurrence of a subsequent Event of Default.

of all or any part or installment of any sum due the holder hereunder, or if

collected through any legal proceedings, Maker agrees to pay all collection
costs and fees incurred by the holder, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

indebtedness evidenced by this note, the right to notice of the actual
acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by this note, and the right to
presentment of this note by Payee's demand for payment. Maker acknowledges that
it understands that it can waive these rights and by Maker's execution of this
note it agrees to waive its right to notice of intent to accelerate, its right
to notice of acceleration, and its right to presentment or other demand for
payment. The holder shall similarly have the right to deal in any way, at any
time, without one or more of the foregoing parties without notice to any other
party, and to grant any such party and extensions of time for payment of any of
said indebtedness, or to release part or all of the collateral securing this
note, or to grant any other indulgences or forbearances whatsoever, without
notice to any other party and without in any way affecting the personal
liability of any party hereunder.
This note is executed in renewal and rearrangement but not in novation or
discharge, of (i) that certain Promissory Note dated March 30, 1994 in the
original principal amount of $12,175,000.00, executed by Maker for the benefit
of Payee, (ii) that certain Promissory Note dated March 30, 1994 in the original

and (iii) that certain Promissory Note dated December 20, 1994 in the original
principal amount of $1,500,000.00, executed by Maker for the benefit of Payee.

hereunder and all payments made on account of the principal thereof, which
endorsements shall be prima facie evidence as to the outstanding principal
