4 HALLIBURTON COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Note 1. Management Representation The Company employs accounting policies that are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires Company management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable rules of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Company, the financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 1996; the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995; and its cash flows for the nine months then ended. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 may not be indicative of results for the full year. In connection with the discontinuance of the Company's insurance segment, the Company has adopted a classified balance sheet format. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Note 2. Inventories
September 30 December 31 1996 1995 ------------ ------------- Millions of dollars Sales items $ 96.1 $ 85.2 Supplies and parts 154.5 121.7 Work in process 42.2 27.1 Raw materials 19.5 17.5 ----------- ------------- Total $ 312.3 $ 251.5 =========== =============
About 40% of all sales items (including related work in process and raw materials) are valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. If the average cost method had been in use for inventories on the LIFO basis, total inventories would have been about $18.3 million higher than reported at September 30, 1996. Note 3. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses were $43.7 million and $33.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. General and administrative expenses were $118.2 million and $112.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Note 4. Income Per Share Income per share amounts are based upon the average number of common and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents included in the computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options which have a dilutive effect. 5 Note 5. Related Companies The Company conducts some of its operations through various joint venture and other partnership forms which are accounted for using the equity method. Included in the Company's revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are equity in income of related companies of $25.5 million and $23.3 million, respectively. The amounts included in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are $66.1 million and $63.7 million, respectively. European Marine Contractors, Limited (EMC), which is 50% owned by the Company and part of Brown & Root Energy Services, specializes in engineering, procurement and construction of marine pipelines. Summarized operating results for 100% of the operations of EMC are as follows:
Three Months Nine Months Ended September 30 Ended September 30 -------------------------- ---------------------------- 1996 1995 1996 1995 ------------ ----------- ----------- -------------- Millions of dollars Millions of dollars Revenues $ 57.1 $ 119.9 $ 159.5 $ 295.2 =========== =========== =========== ============= Operating income $ 23.7 $ 33.4 $ 53.1 $ 87.3 =========== =========== =========== ============= Net income $ 14.8 $ 21.7 $ 34.5 $ 56.7 =========== =========== =========== =============
In the second quarter of 1996, M-I Drilling Fluids, L.L.C., one of the Company's joint ventures which is 36% owned and a part of Energy Services, purchased Anchor Drilling Fluids. The Company's share of the purchase price was $41.3 million and is included in cash flows from other investing activities. Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved as a potentially responsible party (PRP) in remedial activities to clean up various "Superfund" sites under applicable Federal law which imposes joint and several liability, if the harm is indivisible, on certain persons without regard to fault, the legality of the original disposal, or ownership of the site. Although it is very difficult to quantify the potential impact of compliance with environmental protection laws, management of the Company believes that any liability of the Company with respect to all but one of such sites will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company. With respect to a site in Jasper County, Missouri (Jasper County Superfund Site), sufficient information has not been developed to permit management to make such a determination and management believes the process of determining the nature and extent of remediation at this site and the total costs thereof will be lengthy. Brown & Root, Inc. (Brown & Root), a subsidiary of the Company, has been named as a PRP with respect to the Jasper County Superfund Site by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Jasper County Superfund Site includes areas of mining activity that occurred from the 1800's through the mid 1950's in the southwestern portion of Missouri. The site contains lead and zinc mine tailings produced from mining activity. Brown & Root is one of nine participating PRPs which have agreed to perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS), which, due to various delays, is not expected to be completed until the fourth quarter of 1997. Although the entire Jasper County Superfund Site comprises 237 square miles as listed on the National Priorities List, in the RI/FS scope of work, the EPA has only identified seven areas, or subsites, within this area that need to be studied and then possibly remediated by the PRPs. Additionally, the Administrative Order on Consent for the RI/FS only requires Brown & Root to perform RI/FS work at one of the subsites within the site, the Neck/Alba subsite, which only comprises 3.95 square miles. Brown & Root's share of the cost of such a study is not expected to be material. At the present time Brown & Root cannot determine the extent of its liability, if any, for remediation costs on any reasonably practicable basis. The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various other legal proceedings. Although the ultimate dispositions of such proceedings are not presently determinable, in the opinion of the Company any liability that may ensue will not be material in relation to the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company. 6 Note 7. Acquisitions On October 4, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of Landmark Graphics Corporation (Landmark) through the merger of Landmark with a subsidiary of the Company, the conversion of the outstanding Landmark common stock into an aggregate of approximately 10.2 million shares of common stock of the Company and the assumption by the Company of outstanding Landmark stock options ( for the exercise of which the Company has reserved an aggregate of approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock of the Company). Landmark, together with its subsidiaries, designs, markets and supports sophisticated computer-aided exploration and computer-aided reservoir management software and systems. Geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists and engineers in more than 70 countries use Landmark products in exploration for and production of oil and gas. Landmark offers an extensive line of integrated software applications for seismic processing, three dimensional and two dimensional seismic interpretation, geologic and petrophysical interpretation, mapping and modeling, well log and production analysis, drilling and production engineering and data management. Through its service consulting business, Landmark provides software training, on-site support and assistance in designing computer networks and integrating applications and data. In addition to providing software products, Landmark is a value-added reseller of workstations and other hardware and provides a range of services, including software and systems support and training, systems configuration and network design and data loading and management. The acquisition has been accounted for using the "pooling of interests" method of accounting for business combinations. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, Landmark had consolidated revenues of $187.3 million, operating income of $4 million and net income from continuing operations of $5.3 million. At June 30, 1996, Landmark had consolidated total assets of $231.1 million and stockholders' equity of $165.4 million. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not give retroactive effect to this transaction as it was not completed until after the end of the current reporting period. The following supplemental unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and Landmark to give effect to the merger using the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations. The following information may not necessarily reflect the results of operations or the financial position of the Company that would have actually resulted had the merger occurred as of the date and for the periods indicated or reflect the future earnings of the Company.

Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 include special charges recorded by Landmark of $8.3 million ($7.6 million after tax) for costs incurred for merging with the Company. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 include special charges recorded by Landmark of $20.5 million ($16.3 million after tax) for the write-off of in-process research and development activities acquired in connection with the purchase by Landmark of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Western Atlas International, Inc. and of Verticomp and the write-off of redundant assets and activities recorded in the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, as well as the costs for merging with the Company noted above. Note 8. Discontinued Operations On January 23, 1996, the Company spun-off its property and casualty insurance subsidiary, Highlands Insurance Group, Inc. (HIGI), in a tax-free distribution to holders of Halliburton Company common stock. Each common shareholder of the Company received one share of common stock of HIGI for every ten shares of Halliburton Company common stock. Approximately 11.4 million common shares of HIGI were issued in conjunction with the spin-off. The following summarizes the results of operations of the discontinued operations:

8 Note 9. Special Charges In September 1996, the Company recognized special charges to operating income of $65.3 million ($42.7 million after tax) related to reorganization of Engineering and Construction Services, severance costs for combining general support functions throughout the Company, and certain other business structure costs. The Company recognized severance costs of $41.0 million to provide for the termination of approximately one thousand employees related to reorganization efforts at Engineering and Construction Services and plans to combine various administrative support functions into combined shared services for the Company. The terminations impact mostly middle and senior management levels within business unit operations, business unit support, and general and administrative areas. The terminations are to occur primarily during the fourth quarter of 1996 and first half of 1997. The Company also recognized $20.2 million of costs associated with restructuring certain Engineering and Construction Services businesses, providing for excess lease space and other items. The above charges to net income were offset by tax credits during the quarter of $43.7 million due to the recognition of net operating loss carryforwards and the settlement during the quarter of various issues with the Internal Revenue Service. The Company reached agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and recognized net operating loss carryforwards of $62.5 million ($22.5 million in tax benefits) from the 1989 tax year. The net operating loss carryforwards are expected to be utilized in the 1996 and 1997 tax years. In addition, the Company also reached agreement with the IRS on issues related to intercompany pricing of goods and services for the tax years 1989 through 1992 and entered into an advanced pricing agreement for the tax years 1993 through 1998. As a result of these agreements with the IRS, the Company recognized tax benefits of $16.1 million. The Company also recognized net operating loss carryforwards of $14.0 million ($5.1 million in tax benefits) in certain foreign areas due to improving profitability and restructuring of foreign operations. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK In accordance with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company notes that the statements in this 10-Q and elsewhere, which are forward looking and which provide other than historical information, involve risks and uncertainties that may impact the Company's actual results of operations. Future trends for revenues and profitability remain difficult to predict in the industries served by the Company. The Company continues to face many risks and uncertainties including: unsettled political conditions, war, civil unrest, currency controls and governmental actions in countries of operation; trade restrictions and economic embargoes; environmental laws, including those that require emission performance standards for new and existing facilities; the magnitude of governmental spending for military and logistical support of the type provided by the Company; operations in higher risk countries; technological and structural changes in the industries served by the Company; changes in the price of oil and natural gas; changes in capital spending by customers in the hydrocarbon industry for exploration, development, production, processing, refining and pipeline delivery networks; changes in capital spending by customers in the wood pulp and paper industries for plants and equipment; and changes in world economic conditions related to capital spending by governments for infrastructure. The Company operates in over 100 countries around the world to provide a variety of energy services and engineering and construction services. Operations in some countries may be affected by unsettled political conditions, expropriation or other governmental actions and exchange control and currency problems. Recently enacted United States law provides for sanctions on foreign companies and, in some cases, their affiliates which make certain investments in petroleum resources in Iran or Libya or sell to such countries certain products or technology which enhance the ability of those countries to develop their petroleum resources. This new law may adversely impact the Company's ability to provide services and/or products to some of its foreign customers, including the cessation of operations and trading by certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company with customers in such countries. Although at the present time it is not possible to determine the exact nature of the impact of such law on the Company, it is possible that the Company's ability to realize the value of equipment and other assets, including accounts receivable, associated with such business may become impaired and that such impairment may be material to the results of operations of the Company for some future period. 9 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Third Quarter of 1996 Compared with the Third Quarter of 1995 Revenues Consolidated revenues increased 22% to $1,813.3 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared with $1,489.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Approximately 55% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from international activities in the third quarter of 1996 compared to 50% in the third quarter of 1995. Consolidated international revenues increased 33% in the third quarter of 1996 over the third quarter of 1995. Consolidated United States revenues increased by 10% in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter of 1995. Energy Services revenues increased by 14% compared with a 9% increase in drilling activity as measured by the worldwide rotary rig count for the third quarter of 1996 over the same quarter of the prior year. International revenues increased by 9%, reflecting growth in Europe/Africa, Latin America, Middle East, and Canada. United States revenues increased 21% while the United States rig count increased 8% over the same quarter of the prior year. Engineering and Construction Services revenues increased 28% to $1,034.3 million compared with $806.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year due primarily to higher activity levels in the energy and chemicals industries as well as increased activity pursuant to a service contract with the US Department of Defense to provide technical and logistical support for military peacekeeping operations in Bosnia. Operating income Consolidated operating income decreased 42% to $64.8 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared with $111.1 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The operating income in the third quarter of 1996 includes special charges of $65.3 million for the reorganization of Engineering and Construction Services, reorganization of various company-wide administrative support functions, and other business structure costs. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information about these charges. Excluding the special charges noted above, operating income for the quarter was $130.1 million, or 17% higher than the prior year period. Excluding the special charges, approximately 68% of the Company's consolidated operating income was derived from international activities in the third quarter of 1996 compared to 71% in the third quarter of 1995. Energy Services operating income increased 15% to $101.8 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared with $88.2 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The operating margin for the third quarter of 1996 was 13.1% compared to the prior year operating margin of 12.9%. The increase in operating income in 1996 is related to higher activity levels in several areas of the world: North America in the Permian Basin and South Texas areas and from deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico; Europe/Africa, primarily related to the North Sea, Angola/Cabinda area, and the Congo basin; Asia/Pacific; the Middle East; Russia; and Kazakhstan. Engineering and Construction Services operating income increased 20% to $37.5 million compared to $31.2 million in the third quarter of the prior year. The increase in operating income includes profits from projects for the pulp and paper and chemicals industry customers and income from the service contract with the US Department of Defense mentioned above. These increases were partially offset by lower energy income primarily driven by lower activity by European Marine Contractors, Limited, and losses on several civil jobs. Operating margins were 3.6% in the third quarter of 1996 compared to 3.9% in the prior year third quarter. Nonoperating items Interest expense decreased to $6.8 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared to $15.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year due primarily to the redemption of the zero coupon convertible subordinated debentures in September 1995, and the redemption of the $42.0 million term loan in December 1995. Interest income decreased in 1996 primarily due to lower levels of invested cash due mainly to the redemption of long-term debt. Foreign currency losses were $0.5 million for the third quarter of 1996 as compared to $2.5 million for the same quarter in 1995. The third quarter of the prior year included losses in the Nigerian naira. 10 The benefit (provision) for income taxes in the third quarter of 1996 is a benefit of $21.3 million as compared to a provision of $34.9 million in the prior year quarter. The benefit in 1996 includes tax credits of $43.7 million due to the recognition of net operating loss carryforwards and the settlement during the quarter of various issues with the Internal Revenue Service. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the tax benefits recognized in the third quarter of 1996. Net income Net income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 1996 increased 20% to $82.6 million, or 71 cents per share, compared with $68.8 million, or 60 cents per share, in the same quarter of the prior year. First Nine Months of 1996 Compared with the First Nine Months of 1995 Revenues Consolidated revenues increased 26% to $5,251.5 million in the first nine months of 1996 compared with $4,161.3 million in the same period of the prior year. Approximately 54% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from international activities in the first nine months of 1996 compared to 51% in the same period of 1995. Consolidated international revenues increased 34% in the first nine months of 1996 over the same period of 1995. Consolidated United States revenues increased by 18% in the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same period of 1995. Energy Services revenues increased by 15% compared with a 6% increase in drilling activity as measured by the worldwide rotary rig count for the first nine months of 1996 over the same period of the prior year. International revenues increased by 12%, reflecting growth in the Europe/Africa and Latin America markets. United States revenues increased 19% while the United States rig count increased 6% over the same period of the prior year. Engineering and Construction Services revenues increased 35% to $3,087.7 million compared with $2,279.7 million in the same nine month period of the prior year due primarily to higher activity levels in the pulp and paper, energy and chemicals industries as well as a service contract with the US Department of Defense to provide technical and logistical support for military peacekeeping operations in Bosnia. Operating income Consolidated operating income decreased 5% to $255.7 million in the first nine months of 1996 compared with $269.8 million in the same period of the prior year. The current year operating income includes special charges of $65.3 million for the reorganization of Engineering and Construction Services, reorganization of various company-wide administrative support functions, and other business structure costs. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information about these charges. Excluding the special charges noted above, operating income for the nine months was $321.0 million, or 19% higher than the prior year period. Excluding the special charges, approximately 71% of the Company's consolidated operating income was derived from international activities in the first nine months of 1996 compared to 67% in the same period of 1995. Energy Services operating income increased 24% to $261.2 million in the first nine months of 1996 compared with $211.5 million in the same period of the prior year. The operating margin for the first nine months of 1996 was 12.1% compared to the prior year operating margin of 11.2%. The increase in operating income in 1996 is primarily related to higher activity levels in North America from deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico; Europe/Africa, primarily related to the North Sea; and Latin America, from activities in Mexico. Engineering and Construction Services operating income for the first nine months of 1996 was $86.2 million compared to 1995 operating income of $80.2 million. Operating margins were 2.8% in for the first nine months of 1996 and 3.5% for the same period in 1995. Results for the nine months include fees for the service contract to provide technical and logistical support for military peacekeeping operations in Bosnia as well as $35.0 million of income relating to gain sharing revenue on the Brown & Root portion of the cost savings realized on the BP Andrew alliance. The alliance completed the project seven months ahead of the scheduled production of oil and achieved a $125 million savings compared with the targeted cost. This was offset by a $17.1 million reduction in income due to lower activity levels and revenues generated by European Marine Contractors, Limited, and a $17.1 million charge relating to the impairment of Brown & Root's equity in the Dulles Greenway toll road extension project. 11 Nonoperating items Interest expense decreased to $17.5 million in the first nine months of 1996 compared to $40.1 million in the same period of the prior year due primarily to the redemption of the zero coupon convertible subordinated debentures in September 1995, and the redemption of the $42.0 million term loan in December 1995. Interest income decreased in 1996 primarily due to lower levels of invested cash due mainly to the redemption of long-term debt. Foreign currency losses were $2.5 million for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to a gain of $0.6 million for the same period in 1995. The prior year period benefited from a gain in the first quarter of 1995 in Nigeria from the devaluation of the naira which was offset by losses primarily related to the Mexican peso. The current year losses are primarily attributable to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. The provision for income taxes in the first nine months is $43.8 million as compared to a provision of $92.1 million in the prior year period. The provision in 1996 is net of tax credits of $43.7 million due to the recognition of net operating loss carryforwards and the settlement during the third quarter of various issues with the Internal Revenue Service. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the tax benefits recognized in 1996. Net income Net income from continuing operations in the first nine months of 1996 increased 24% to $201.2 million, or $1.74 per share, compared with $161.9 million, or $1.41 per share, in the same period of the prior year. Realignment of product and service lines The Company has announced plans to realign certain of its product and service lines to exploit opportunities with its energy based customers. Beginning in the 1996 fourth quarter, the Energy Services business segment will include Halliburton Energy Services; Brown & Root Energy Services, which includes the upstream oil and gas engineering and construction activities; Landmark Graphics Corporation, which includes integrated exploration and production information systems and professional services; and Halliburton Energy Development, which has been formed to create business opportunities for the development, production and operation of customers' oil and gas fields. In addition, the Company has announced a restructuring of the remaining services of the Engineering and Construction Services segment into two service lines to more closely align with its customers. One service line will focus on delivering engineering and construction services to commercial customers and the other will focus on servicing government and municipal customers. The cost of implementing this program is reflected in the 1996 third quarter $65.3 million pre-tax charge. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company ended the third quarter of 1996 with cash and equivalents of $35.1 million, a decrease of $139.8 million from the end of 1995. Operating activities Cash flows from operating activities were $149.0 million in the first nine months of 1996, as compared to $353.0 million in the first nine months of 1995. The major operating activity use of cash in 1996 was to fund working capital requirements related to increased revenues from Energy Services and Engineering and Construction Services. Investing activities Cash flows used in investing activities were $264.1 million and $158.1 million in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. Included in 1996 investing activities is $41.3 million related to the Company's share of the purchase price of a subsidiary acquired by the Company's M-I Drilling affiliate. Capital expenditures made by Energy Services for fixed assets were $44.9 million higher in the first nine months of 1996 compared to the prior year period. 12 Financing activities Cash flows used in financing activities were $23.2 million in the first nine months of 1996 compared to $498.1 million in the first nine months of 1995. The Company borrowed $51.5 million in short-term bank borrowings in the first nine months of 1996 to fund cash requirements. Proceeds from exercises of stock options provided $14.4 million in the first nine months of 1996 compared to $1.8 million in the same period of the prior year. The Company redeemed the entire outstanding principal amount of zero coupon convertible subordinated debentures during the third quarter of 1995 of $390.7 million. The Company has the ability to borrow additional short-term and long-term funds if necessary. LANDMARK GRAPHICS ACQUISITION On October 4, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of Landmark Graphics Corporation in a stock transaction. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The Company completed its exit from the insurance industry segment on January 23, 1996, with distribution of the Company's property and casualty insurance subsidiary, Highlands Insurance Group, Inc., to its shareholders in a tax-free spin-off. The operations of the Insurance Services Group have been classified as discontinued operations. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS The Company is involved as a potentially responsible party in remedial activities to clean up various "Superfund" sites under applicable Federal law which imposes joint and several liability, if the harm is indivisible, on certain persons without regard to fault, the legality of the original disposal, or ownership of the site. Although it is very difficult to quantify the potential impact of compliance with environmental protection laws, management of the Company believes that any liability of the Company with respect to all but one of such sites will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the one site. 13 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.

                                    Vacancies
     26. If any office of the Corporation is vacant for any reason, the Board of
Directors may choose a successor,  who shall hold office for the unexpired term,

deem expedient for the issuance,  transfer and  registration of certificates for
shares of stock of the Corporation, including the appointment of transfer agents

     Such  certificates  shall  be  numbered  and  entered  on the  books of the
Corporation as they are issued, and shall set forth the holder's name and number
of shares and shall be  impressed  with the  corporate  seal or bear a facsimile
thereof,  and  shall be  signed by the  Chairman  of the  Board  (if  any),  the
President or any Vice President and the Secretary or Assistant  Secretary of the
Corporation and countersigned by an independent transfer agent and registered by
an independent registrar.  Any or all of the signatures may be facsimiles unless
the  regulations  of the New York Stock Exchange then in effect shall require to

                                        9



transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been
placed upon a  certificate  shall cease to be such  officer,  transfer  agent or
registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation
with the same effect as if he were such officer,  transfer agent or registrar at
the date of issue.

                                Transfer of Stock
     29.  Transfer of stock shall be made on the books of the  Corporation  only

allotment  of any rights,  or entitled to exercise  any rights in respect of any
change,  conversion  or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful
action,  the Board may fix, in advance,  a record date,  which shall not be more
than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor
more  than  sixty  (60) days  prior to any  other  action.  A  determination  of
stockholders  of  record  entitled  to  notice  of or to  vote at a  meeting  of
stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;  provided,  however,
that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
     31. All checks,  unless otherwise directed by the Board, shall be signed by
the Treasurer or Assistant  Treasurer and  countersigned  by the Chairman of the

appoint  such  officers or employees  of the  Corporation  as the one or ones so
making the  appointment  shall deem  advisable to audit and approve  Corporation
vouchers  and  checks  and to  sign  such  checks  with an  approved  mechanical
check-signer.  Any officer or employee so designated  to audit,  approve or sign
checks shall execute a bond to the  Corporation in such amount as the Directors,
from  time to  time,  may  designate,  and  with  sureties  satisfactory  to the
Directors.  All notes,  debentures and bonds,  unless otherwise  directed by the
Board, or unless otherwise  required by law, shall be signed by the Treasurer or
Assistant  Treasurer  and  countersigned  by the Chairman of the Board (if any),

     32. Dividends upon the capital stock,  when earned,  may be declared by the
Board at any regular or special meeting.
     33.  Before  payment of any  dividend,  there shall be set aside out of the
surplus or net  profits of the  Corporation  such sum or sums as the  Directors,
from time to time, think proper as a reserve fund to meet contingencies,  or for
such other  purposes as the Directors  shall think  conducive to the interest of
the Corporation.
     34. Whenever,  under the provisions of these By-laws, notice is required to
be given it shall not be construed to mean personal notice,  but such notice may
be given in writing by mail, addressed to such stockholder, officer or Director,
at such  address as appears on the  records  of the  Corporation,  with  postage
thereon  prepaid,  and such notice  shall be deemed to be given at the time when
the same shall be deposited in the United States mail.  Notice may also be given
by prepaid  telegram,  telex or  facsimile  transmission,  which notice shall be
deemed to have been given when sent or transmitted.

                                       11



     35. Any  stockholder,  Director or officer may waive any notice required to
be given under these By-laws.
     36. These By-laws may be altered or repealed at any regular  meeting of the
stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders at which a quorum is
present or represented,  provided notice of the proposed alteration or repeal be
contained in the notice of such special meeting,  by the affirmative vote of the
majority of the  stockholders  entitled  to vote at such  meeting and present or
represented  thereat, or by the affirmative vote of the majority of the Board of
Directors at any regular  meeting of the Board, or at any special meeting of the
Board, if notice of the proposed alteration or repeal be contained in the notice
of such special  meeting;  provided,  however,  that no change in these  By-laws
setting the time or place of the meeting for the election of Directors  shall be
made within  sixty (60) days next before the day on which such  meeting is to be
held, and that in case of any change in such time or place, notice thereof shall
be given to each  stockholder  in person or by letter  mailed to his last  known
post office address at least twenty (20) days before the meeting is held.
                       Provisions for National Emergencies
     37.  During  periods of  emergency  resulting  from an attack on the United
States or on a  locality  in which the  Corporation  conducts  its  business  or
customarily  holds  meetings of its Board of Directors or its  stockholders,  or
during  any  nuclear  or  atomic  disaster,  or  during  the  existence  of  any
catastrophe,  or other similar  emergency  condition,  the following  provisions
shall apply  notwithstanding  any different  provisions  elsewhere  contained in
these By-laws:
          (a) Whenever,  during such emergency and as a result thereof, a quorum
of the Board of  Directors or a standing  committee  thereof  cannot  readily be
convened for action, a

                                       12



meeting  of such  Board or  committee  thereof  may be called by any  officer or
Director by a notice of the time and place  given only to such of the  Directors
as it may be  feasible to reach at the time and by such means as may be feasible
at the time,  including  publications  or radio.  The  Director or  Directors in
attendance at the meeting shall constitute a quorum; provided, however, that the
officers or other persons present who have been designated on a list approved by
the Board  before the  emergency,  all in such order of priority  and subject to
such conditions and for such period of time as may be provided in the resolution
approving such list, or in the absence of such a resolution, the officers of the
Corporation who are present, in order of rank, and within the same rank in order
of  seniority,  shall to the  extent  required  to  provide  a quorum  be deemed
Directors for such meeting.
          (b) The  Board,  either  before  or  during  any such  emergency,  may
provide,  and from time to time modify,  lines of  succession  in the event that
during such emergency any or all officers or agents of the Corporation shall for
any reason be rendered incapable of discharging their duties.
          (c) The  Board  either  before  or  during  any such  emergency,  may,
effective  in the  emergency,  change  the  head  office  or  designate  several
alternative  head offices or regional  offices,  or authorize the officers so to
do.
          (d) No officer,  Director or employee  acting in accordance  with this
article shall be liable except for willful misconduct.
          (e) To the  extent  not  inconsistent  with  this  article,  all other
articles of these Bylaws shall remain in effect during any  emergency  described
in this article and upon its termination the provisions of this article covering
the duration of such emergency shall cease to be operative.

                                       13



                        Divisions and Divisional Officers
                            Groups and Group Officers
     38. (a) Divisions of the Corporation may be formed,  and existing divisions
dissolved, by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or through
designation in writing by the President.
          The President of the Corporation, or his delegate, shall supervise the
management  and  operations  of its  divisions  and shall have the  authority to
appoint  the  officers  thereof  and the  power to  remove  them and to fill any
vacancies.
          To the extent not  inconsistent  with these By-laws or a resolution of
the Board of Directors of the  Corporation,  the officers of each division shall
perform  such duties and have such  authority  with  respect to the business and
affairs of that division as may be granted,  from time to time, by the President
of the  Corporation,  or his  delegate.  With  respect  to the  affairs  of such
division  and in the regular  course of business of such  division,  officers of
each  division  may  sign  contracts  and  other  documents  in the  name of the
division, where so authorized;  provided,  however, subject to the provisions of
the next succeeding sentence of this Paragraph,  that an officer of one division
shall not have authority to bind any other division of the  Corporation,  nor to
bind the Corporation,  except as to the normal and usual business and affairs of
the division of which he is an officer.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions of the
preceding sentence, if a division of the Corporation is formed to provide shared
services for the Corporation and/or its operating units, officers, to the extent
that and with  respect  to  matters  to which  they  have  been  delegated  such
authority in writing by the President or his delegate,  may execute contracts in
the name of and bind the Corporation or any of its divisions; provided, however,
that no officer of a division
                                        14



formed to perform  shared  services  shall  contract in the name of or otherwise
bind a  subsidiary  or other  legal  entity  in which  the  Corporation  owns an
interest  with respect to shared  services  matters  unless such officer of such
division  taking such action (i) is an officer of such  subsidiary or such other
legal  entity and is duly  authorized  to take such action in the name of and on
behalf of such  subsidiary  or other  legal  entity or (ii) takes such action on
behalf of such  subsidiary or other legal entity pursuant to the grant of a duly
authorized power of attorney. A divisional officer,  unless specifically elected
to one of the designated  offices of the Corporation,  shall not be construed as
an officer of the Corporation.
          (b) To facilitate  the  attainment of certain goals and  objectives by
various divisions and subsidiaries of the Corporation engaged in common pursuits
or in activities within the same or similar areas of business activity,  a group
or groups of such  subsidiaries and divisions may be formed by resolution of the
Board of Directors of the  Corporation or through  designation in writing by the
President of the Corporation, or his delegate.
          The activities of any such group shall be administered and coordinated
by  the  officers  of  the  group  and,  if  desired  by  the  President  of the
Corporation,  or his delegate,  by an operating  committee.  In such event,  the
number  of  members  of such  operating  committee  shall be  determined  by the
President of the  Corporation,  or his  delegate,  who shall appoint the members
thereof  and have the power to remove them and  substitute  other  members.  The
duties of any such operating committee shall be to aid in the administration and
coordination of group  activities and to consult with and advise the officers of
the group in achieving goals and objectives of such group.


                                       15



          Officers of a group established  pursuant to the provisions hereof may
include a chairman,  a president,  one or more vice presidents,  a treasurer,  a
secretary and such other officers as may facilitate operations of the group. The
President, or his delegate,  shall have the authority to appoint the officers of
a group and the power to remove  them and to fill any  vacancies.  To the extent
not inconsistent with these By-laws or a resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Corporation, the officers of each group shall have such duties and authority
with respect to the activities and affairs of the group as may be granted,  from
time to time, by the President of the Corporation, or his delegate.
          Contracts  may not be entered  into in the name of any group,  but any
officer of the group,  where so  authorized,  may  execute  contracts  and other
documents in the name of the  Corporation  on behalf of the members of the group
or any  division  of the  Corporation  that is a member of the group;  provided,
however,  that in no case shall an officer of the group have  authority  to bind
the  Corporation  except as to the normal and usual  business and affairs of the
group  of which  he or she is an  officer;  and  provided  further  that a group
officer  may not execute  contracts  for any  subsidiary  who is a member of the
group unless (i) he or she executes  the same under a duly  authorized  power of
attorney or (ii) he or she is also an officer of such  subsidiary  and  executes
the contract in such capacity.

                                 Indemnification

     39. (a) Each person who was or is made a party or is  threatened to be made
a party to or is involved  in any action,  suit or  proceeding,  whether  civil,
criminal,  administrative  or  investigative  (hereinafter a  "proceeding"),  by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has  agreed to become a  director
or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to

                                       16



serve at the  request of the  Corporation  as a  director  or officer of another
corporation  or of a  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust or other  enterprise,
including  service with respect to employee benefit plans,  whether the basis of
such  proceeding  is alleged  action in an  official  capacity  as a director or
officer or in any other  capacity  while  serving or having agreed to serve as a
director or officer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to
the fullest extent  authorized by the Delaware  General  Corporation Law, as the
same  exists  or may  hereafter  be  amended,  (but,  in the  case  of any  such
amendment,  only to the extent that such  amendment  permits the  Corporation to
provide broader  indemnification  rights than said law permitted the Corporation
to provide  prior to such  amendment)  against all expense,  liability  and loss
(including  attorneys' fees,  judgments,  fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by
such person in connection therewith and such  indemnification  shall continue as
to a person who has ceased to serve in the  capacity  which  initially  entitled
such person to indemnity  hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her
heirs,  executors and administrators;  provided,  however,  that the Corporation
shall  indemnify any such person seeking  indemnification  in connection  with a
proceeding  (or part thereof)  initiated by such person only if such  proceeding
(or part thereof) was  authorized by the Board of Directors of the  Corporation.
The right to  indemnification  conferred  in this Section 39 shall be a contract
right and shall  include the right to be paid by the  Corporation  the  expenses
incurred in defending any such  proceeding in advance of its final  disposition;
provided,  however,  that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the
payment  of such  expenses  incurred  by a  director  or  officer  in his or her
capacity  as a  director  or  officer  (and not in any other  capacity  in which
service  was or is  rendered  by  such  person  while  a  director  or  officer,
including, without limitation, service

                                       17



to  an  employee  benefit  plan)  in  advance  of  the  final  disposition  of a
proceeding,  shall  be  made  only  upon  delivery  to  the  Corporation  of  an
undertaking,  by or on behalf of such director or officer,  to repay all amounts
so advanced if it shall  ultimately be determined  that such director or officer
is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise.
          (b) If a claim under  Paragraph  (a) of this Section 39 is not paid in
full by the  Corporation  within  ninety  days  after a  written  claim has been
received by the Corporation,  the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit
against  the  Corporation  to  recover  the unpaid  amount of the claim and,  if
successful in whole or in part,  the claimant  shall be entitled to be paid also
the expense of prosecuting  such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action
(other  than an action  brought  to  enforce a claim for  expenses  incurred  in
defending any proceeding in advance of its final  disposition where the required
undertaking,  if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the
claimant has not met the  standards of conduct which make it  permissible  under
the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law for the  Corporation  to  indemnify  the
claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be
on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board
of Directors,  independent  legal counsel,  or its  stockholders) to have made a
determination  prior to the commencement of such action that  indemnification of
the  claimant  is  proper  in the  circumstances  because  he or she has met the
applicable  standard of conduct set forth in the  Delaware  General  Corporation
Law, nor an actual  determination  by the  Corporation  (including  its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has
not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or
create a presumption  that the claimant has not met the  applicable  standard of
conduct.
                                       18



          (c) The right to  indemnification  and the  advancement and payment of
expenses  conferred in this Section 39 shall not be exclusive of any other right
which  any  person  may have or  hereafter  acquire  under  any law  (common  or
statutory),  provision of the Certificate of  Incorporation  of the Corporation,
By-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
          (d) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect
itself  and any person  who is or was  serving  as a director  or officer of the
Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director
or officer of another corporation,  partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other
enterprise  against  any  expense,   liability  or  loss,  whether  or  not  the
Corporation  would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
          (e) If this Section 39 or any portion  hereof shall be  invalidated on
any ground by any court of competent  jurisdiction,  then the Corporation  shall
nevertheless  indemnify  and hold  harmless  each  director  or  officer  of the
Corporation  as to costs,  charges and  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit
or proceeding,  whether civil, criminal,  administrative or investigative to the
full extent  permitted by any  applicable  portion of this Section 39 that shall
not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.
