PART I
ITEMS 1 AND 2 BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
GENERAL
Occidental Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Occidental"), explores for, develops, produces and markets crude oil and
natural gas; engages in interstate and intrastate natural gas transmission and
marketing; and manufactures and markets a variety of basic chemicals,
petrochemicals and polymers and plastics. Occidental conducts its principal
operations through three subsidiaries: Occidental Oil and Gas Corporation,
MidCon Corp. and Occidental Chemical Corporation. Occidental's executive
offices are located at 10889 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90024;
telephone (310) 208-8800.
Occidental was organized in April 1986 and, as the result of a
reorganization effective May 21, 1986, became the successor to a California
corporation of the same name organized in 1920. As used herein, the term
"Occidental" refers to Occidental alone or together with one or more of its
subsidiaries.
Occidental's principal businesses constitute three industry segments,
the operations of which are described below. For information with respect to
the revenues, net income and assets of Occidental's industry segments and of
its operations in various geographic areas for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1994, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements of Occidental ("Consolidated Financial Statements"), which are
included in Occidental's 1994 Annual Report ("1994 Annual Report") and are
incorporated by reference in Item 8 of this report, and the information
appearing under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis," which is
included in the 1994 Annual Report and is incorporated by reference in Item 7
of this report. Throughout this report, portions of the 1994 Annual Report
are incorporated by reference. These portions of the 1994 Annual Report are
included as Exhibit 13 to this report.
OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS
Exploration and Production
GENERAL Through Occidental Oil and Gas Corporation and its
subsidiaries, and its approximate 30 percent equity interest in Canadian
Occidental Petroleum Ltd. ("CanadianOxy"), Occidental produces or participates
in the production of crude oil, condensate and natural gas in the United
States, Canada, Colombia, the Congo, Ecuador, the Dutch and United Kingdom
sectors of the North Sea, Oman, Pakistan, Peru, Qatar, Russia, Venezuela and
Yemen. Occidental is continuing its development programs for certain existing
fields in certain of these countries and also is conducting exploration
activities in several of these countries as well as in other countries.
In 1994, Occidental again added more oil to its reserves than it
produced, continuing its record of total reserve increases. Occidental's
consolidated worldwide net proved developed and undeveloped reserves of crude
oil (not including those of CanadianOxy) were 918 million barrels at year-end
1994, compared with 793 million barrels at year-end 1993. Domestic reserves of
crude oil were 218 million barrels at year-end 1994, compared with 195 million
barrels at year-end 1993, while international crude oil reserves increased by
17 percent to 700 million barrels from 598 million barrels at year-end 1993.
International net crude oil reserve additions of 190 million barrels, mainly in
Venezuela, Qatar and the Congo, more than replaced Occidental's production of
65 million barrels. The calculation of reserve additions does not take into
account sales of reserves. Worldwide net proved developed and undeveloped
reserves of natural gas were approximately 2.3 trillion cubic feet ("Tcf")
at year-end 1994, with 2.0 Tcf attributable to domestic operations.
Worldwide net proved developed and undeveloped natural gas
-1-
4
reserves were about 2.1 Tcf in the previous year. Discoveries of substantial
quantities of gas and oil in the Philippines and of gas and condensate in
Malaysia are not reflected in Occidental's proved reserves. Please note that
Occidental's crude oil reserves include condensate and natural gas liquids,
except for the United States, where crude oil reserves include only condensate.
In addition, natural gas reserves in the United States are presented on a
wet-gas basis (including leasehold natural gas liquids reserves), whereas
natural gas reserves in other locations exclude natural gas liquids. The
reserves are stated after applicable royalties. See the information appearing
under the caption "Supplemental Oil and Gas Information" incorporated by
reference in Item 8 of this report.
As a producer of crude oil and natural gas, Occidental competes with
numerous other producers, as well as with nonpetroleum energy producers. Crude
oil and natural gas are commodities that are sensitive to prevailing conditions
of supply and demand and generally are sold at posted or contract prices. Among
the methods that Occidental uses to compete are the acquisition of foreign
contract exploration blocks in areas with known oil and gas deposits and the
cost-efficient development and exploitation of its worldwide oil and gas
reserves. Specific strategies include the buying or selling of proved reserves
and flexible and responsive marketing techniques, particularly for natural gas.
Occidental's domestic oil and gas operations are affected by political
developments and by federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to,
among other things, increases in taxes and royalties, production limits and
environmental matters. All sectors of the natural gas industry continued during
1994 to adjust their marketing activities under the provisions of a series of
orders adopted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") in
1992 ("Order 636"). Order 636 was implemented to improve the competitive
structure of the natural gas industry and at the same time maintain adequate
and reliable service. Both FERC and state regulatory agencies continue to
modify and expand the regulation of the transportation services framework put
into effect by Order 636. In addition to Order 636, FERC issued a series of
Orders in 1994 that will tend to deregulate the gathering systems of interstate
pipelines and their affiliates. Neither of these activities is expected to have
a significant impact on the domestic oil and gas operations of Occidental.
Portions of Occidental's oil and gas assets are located in countries
outside North America, some of which may be considered politically and
economically unstable. These assets and the related operations are subject to
the risk of actions by governmental authorities and insurgent groups.
Occidental attempts to conduct its financial affairs so as to protect against
such risks and would expect to receive compensation in the event of
nationalization. At December 31, 1994, the carrying value of Occidental's oil
and gas assets in countries outside North America aggregated approximately
$1.942 billion, or approximately 11 percent of Occidental's total assets at
that date. Approximately $527 million of such assets was located in the Middle
East, and $506 million of such assets was located in Latin America.
Substantially all of the remainder were located in the Dutch sector of the
North Sea, West Africa, Russia and Pakistan.
UNITED STATES Occidental produces crude oil and natural gas,
principally in Texas, the Gulf of Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, New
Mexico, California and Mississippi.
Net daily domestic production of crude oil averaged approximately
59,000 barrels in 1994, compared with 58,000 barrels in 1993. Net daily
domestic production of natural gas averaged 620 million cubic feet ("MMcf") in
1994, compared with 600 MMcf in 1993.
Occidental's average price for domestic crude oil was $14.21 per
barrel in 1994, compared with $15.54 in the previous year. The average natural
gas price in 1994 was $1.85 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf"), compared with
$1.98 per Mcf during 1993.
Occidental completed two major acquisitions that resulted in
substantial reserve additions in 1994. The purchase late in the year of Placid
Oil Company added proven domestic reserves of 20.1 million barrels of oil
equivalent. The acquisition of interests in oil and gas properties from Agip
Petroleum Co. Inc. ("Agip") added proved reserves of 124 billion cubic feet
("Bcf") of natural gas equivalent. Combined, these acquisitions will add net
daily production of 74 MMcf of natural gas and 8,200 barrels of oil from the
preacquisition levels. The Agip volumes have been included in Occidental's
production volumes referred to two paragraphs above since April 1, 1994.
-2-
5
Occidental's largest concentration of gas reserves and production is
the Hugoton area encompassing portions of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, where it
produced an average of more than 204 MMcf of gas per day or approximately
one-third of the domestic total. Occidental has approximately 1 Tcf
of gas reserves and 4 million barrels of oil reserves in the Hugoton region and
has continued development in this region by drilling 56 infill wells and adding
25 producing wells through exploration of deeper levels in 1994.
During 1994, Occidental's development programs offshore Louisiana
increased net reserves by 2.3 million barrels of oil and 15.6 Bcf of gas. In
New Mexico, an eight-well drilling program in the Old Millman Ranch field added
reserves in excess of 1 million barrels of oil and 2.2 Bcf of gas. Oil
production also was increased in the Milne Point unit of Alaska with the
drilling of 14 wells that added 3.7 million barrels of proven reserves.
Occidental's first horizontal test well in the Austin Chalk play in
Louisiana's Masters Creek Field was a success. Occidental drilled the Monroe
A-1 well in such field which tested at a daily rate of 2,162 barrels of oil and
6.6 MMcf of natural gas. Plans are under way to further develop the field using
horizontal drilling technology. Occidental has a 100 percent working interest
in the Masters Creek field and a significant leasehold interest in
approximately 30,000 surrounding acres.
Occidental has an agreement to make available to certain parties, in
connection with a legal settlement, up to 49,500 million British thermal units
("MMBtu") of natural gas per day through 2010 at prices related to market.
Occidental also has an agreement to supply fuel gas at market prices for a CITGO
Petroleum Corporation ("CITGO") refinery until 2003 to the extent that CITGO
does not obtain such gas from other sources.
Additionally, Occidental has an agreement to supply CITGO, at CITGO's
option, with a majority of its domestic lease crude oil and condensate
production through August 31, 1998. During 1994, Occidental sold CITGO
approximately 38,000 barrels of oil per day under this agreement.
Occidental has various agreements to supply certain gas marketing
companies with 70,900 MMBtu of natural gas per day for 1995 and 1996 and with
volumes ranging from 69,400 down to 1,900 MMBtu per day from 1997 through 2003.
Prices under the different agreements are based on energy equivalent crude oil
prices, market-sensitive prices or fixed-contract prices, some with a yearly
escalation provision. Occidental also has agreements with various public
utility companies to provide approximately 40,000 MMBtu of natural gas per day
through 1997 and approximately 19,100 MMBtu per day in 1998. The public utility
agreements provide for market-sensitive prices.
ARGENTINA In 1993, Occidental sold 20 percent of the stock of a
subsidiary that owned Occidental's Argentina oil and gas operating interests to
an Argentine company with an option to acquire Occidental's remaining 80
percent of the stock of the aforementioned subsidiary. The option was
exercised in July of 1994.
Occidental's net share of production through July 1994 was 7,000
barrels per day from the various producing fields subject to Contract No. 7559
and 1,200 barrels per day from Rio Negro Norte, the two areas which comprised
Occidental's Argentine producing interests.
CANADA Occidental owns an approximate 30 percent interest in
CanadianOxy, which is accounted for as an equity investment. See Note 13 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.
CanadianOxy produces crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and
sulfur in Canada, principally in the Province of Alberta; owns a 7.2 percent
interest in Syncrude Canada Ltd., which produces synthetic crude oil from the
tar sands of Northern Alberta; has interests in producing oil and gas leases
onshore and offshore in the United States and in the United Kingdom sector of
the North Sea and Yemen; engages in exploration activities in Canada, the
United States, Yemen, Indonesia, Romania, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Egypt and
Vietnam; and participates with Occidental in certain of its operations in Peru
and Ecuador. CanadianOxy also conducts chemical operations in Canada.
At December 31, 1994, Occidental's proportional interest in
CanadianOxy's worldwide net proved developed and undeveloped reserves
aggregated approximately 41 million barrels of crude oil,
-3-
6
condensate and natural gas liquids, 162 Bcf of natural gas and 44 million
barrels of synthetic crude oil recoverable from tar sands.
COLOMBIA Occidental conducts exploration and production operations in
Colombia under three contracts with Ecopetrol, the Colombian national oil
company. These contracts cover the producing Cano Limon area in the Llanos
region of northeastern Colombia, one exploration area in the Llanos fold belt
and one exploration area in the Magdalena Valley. Occidental's interest in
these contracts is through its 75 percent ownership of the stock of a
subsidiary that owns the company conducting operations in Colombia. After
giving effect to a government royalty, Occidental's net share of existing
production is 15 percent from the contract covering the Llanos area.
All of Occidental's share of production is exported through a
trans-Andean pipeline system that carries crude oil to an export terminal at
Covenas. Occidental has an 18.75 percent net ownership interest in the pipeline
and marine terminal. The pipeline is subject to periodic attacks by insurgent
groups, which disrupt the flow of oil.
Gross production from Occidental's Cano Limon area averaged
approximately 189,000 barrels per day in 1994, compared with 202,000 barrels
per day in 1993.
CONGO In April 1993, Occidental signed an agreement with the Congo
providing for the purchase of a share of the government's entitlement to oil
from certain offshore properties. The agreement was subsequently amended to
substitute the government's entitlement from fields either currently producing
or scheduled for development to replace undeveloped areas included in the
initial agreement. Occidental began receiving revenue from the entitlement oil
in 1994. Occidental has also signed production-sharing contracts for two
offshore exploration blocks and is awaiting government approval.
ECUADOR Occidental operates the 494,000-acre Block 15, in the Oriente
Basin, under a risk-service contract. Five oil fields were discovered between
1985 and 1992 and production started in May 1993 from three fields. Drilling
will continue until the fields are fully developed. Gross production was 21,800
barrels per day in 1994 and Occidental's net production was approximately
18,000 barrels per day.
All exploration activity has been concentrated in the western portion
of the block, but continuing geologic studies have revealed more prospects
around the production area and in the eastern portion. Occidental has proposed
incentives that would permit new investment in exploration and provide
substantial financial benefits for Ecuador.
Occidental has an 85 percent interest in the parent of the company
that holds title to the block. CanadianOxy owns the remaining 15 percent.
NORTH SEA Through the purchase of Placid Oil Company in December,
Occidental acquired interests in seven gas-producing licenses and six
exploration licenses in the Dutch sector of the North Sea, adding 193 Bcf of
gas and 466,000 barrels of condensate to Occidental's reserves at year-end.
Also acquired was a 38.6 percent interest in a 170-mile gas pipeline system
that services the area. Net production at the time of purchase was
approximately 75 MMcf of gas per day.
OMAN Occidental is the operator, with a 65 percent working interest,
of the Suneinah Block, which contains the Safah field, the Al Barakah field and
the Wadi Latham field. Occidental's net share of production from the block in
1994 averaged approximately 12,300 barrels per day of crude oil, compared with
10,500 barrels per day in 1993.
PAKISTAN In northern Pakistan, Occidental is the operator, with a 45
percent working interest in the Dhurnal field and a 40 percent working interest
in the Bhangali fields. Occidental's share of production from these fields in
1994 was 1,600 barrels of oil per day and 3 MMcf of gas per day. Occidental has
a 35.8 percent net interest in the Ratana gas field. Gas sales for the Ratana
gas field started in July 1993 and the Ratana well produced at an average rate
of 6 MMcf of gas per day and 300 barrels of condensate per day in 1994.
-4-
7
In southern Pakistan, Occidental has a 30 percent working interest in
the Badin Block, which in 1994 produced a net share of 4,700 barrels of oil per
day and 43 MMcf of gas per day, compared to 5,200 barrels of oil per day and
42.7 MMcf of gas per day in 1993. Exploration of the block resulted in two oil
and gas discoveries that will help maintain production at current rates.
Numerous exploration wells will be drilled in 1995.
During 1994, Occidental acquired exploration rights for a 356,000-acre
block in northern Pakistan, a 1.1-million-acre block in the Central Indus gas
basin and four other blocks totaling 5.2 million acres.
PERU Occidental conducts exploration and production activities under
three separate service contracts with the Peruvian government. Two of these
contracts cover continuing operations in the northern jungle and in the
northern coastal area of Talara and provide for Occidental to receive, as
compensation for its services, fees, based on barrels of production, that vary
with the value of a "basket" of international oils. All production is
delivered to Perupetro. Occidental has a 100 percent interest in the jungle
contract and a 63 percent interest in the Talara contract. The contract for
Talara, signed in 1978, expires in July 1995.
Gross production from the northern jungle block averaged approximately
58,000 barrels per day in 1994, compared with 59,600 barrels per day in 1993.
In the Talara area, gross production was approximately 4,800 barrels per day in
1994, compared with 5,100 barrels per day in 1993.
QATAR In October, a unified agreement was approved authorizing
Occidental to implement a development plan to increase production and reserves
from the Idd el Shargi North Dome field and to provide technical support and
services to Qatar General Petroleum Corporation to improve production in all of
Qatar's oil fields.
Under a production sharing agreement, Occidental is the operator of
the field and will complete development of the field's three main reservoirs
using horizontally drilled wells in conjunction with pressure maintenance by
both water injection and gas injection to effect a high recovery from the
reservoir. Over the 25-year life of the project, Occidental will invest over
$700 million in development capital and receive approximately 50 percent of the
production from this field through profits and cost recovery. Production is
expected to increase to more than 90,000 barrels per day from the initial base
rate of 20,000 barrels per day and to recover approximately 570 million
barrels of oil.
RUSSIA In 1992, Occidental and Chernogorneft Enterprise began
operation of a fifty-fifty joint venture company, Vanyoganneft, which was
formed to increase oil recovery and production from the Vanyogan and Ayogan oil
fields and to sell the oil to foreign markets. The two oil fields are located
40 miles northeast of the city of Nizhnevartovsk in the western Siberian oil
basin. Through well workovers, new development wells and the use of electric
submersible pumps, production was increased by more than 8,000 barrels per day
and reached 50,000 gross barrels per day at year-end 1993. The Russian
government mandated the cessation of joint venture exports at the beginning of
1994, which caused Occidental to slow investment substantially and to reduce
expatriate staff. As a result, Occidental reduced repair work and new drilling.
During 1994, gross production averaged 40,000 barrels per day. Gross production
for the venture during the first quarter of 1995 is averaging 46,000 barrels
per day. Exports of crude oil resumed in the fourth quarter of 1994 and
Occidental expects to continue to export a significant amount of its production
in 1995.
In 1992, Occidental was awarded the 1.5-million-acre Block 15 in the
Russian Federation's Komi Republic. A joint venture, Parmaneft, was established
between Occidental, with a 75 percent interest, and Ukhtaneftegasgeologica
(UNGG) to explore for oil and gas and develop discoveries within the block.
During the exploration phase, Occidental is paying 100 percent of the costs.
South Terekheveiskaya Parmaneft-1, the joint venture's first exploratory well
drilled in 1993, tested high-gravity oil at a rate of approximately 6,400
barrels per day. The block contains a number of other prospects that may
contain oil reserves. In addition to Block 15, Parmaneft acquired rights under
subsurface licenses for two undeveloped Russian fields several miles southeast
of Block 15. Two appraisal wells were drilled in 1994
-5-
8
to determine probable well production rates and the extent of the fields. One
exploratory well is planned for late 1995 or early 1996.
VENEZUELA In November 1993, Occidental executed a 20-year operating
services agreement with Maraven, an affiliate of the Venezuelan national oil
company, to increase oil production and reserves from existing fields in the
968,000-acre unit located just west of Lake Maracaibo. A three-year work
program began in February 1994 that includes the workover and repair of
existing wells, the drilling of new wells, the installation of high-rate
pumping equipment in all wells and the expansion of existing production
facilities to accommodate increased production. During 1994, production was
increased from an initial project takeover rate of 6,000 barrels per day and
averaged about 14,000 barrels per day in December. Occidental is the operator,
with a 100 percent interest, and it will receive, as compensation for its
services, fees based on barrels of production that vary with the values of a
"basket" of international oils, inflation and accumulated production.
YEMEN In 1991, Occidental acquired an 18 percent working interest in
the 6.8-million-acre Masila Block, where CanadianOxy, the operator, with a 52
percent working interest, has made 12 oil discoveries. Construction of
production gathering and treating facilities, a 90-mile pipeline system and an
offshore export terminal on the Gulf of Aden were completed in November 1993.
Production started in July 1993 and averaged approximately 152,000 barrels per
day in 1994. Occidental's net share under a production-sharing contract was
14,400 barrels per day in 1994. Drilling will continue until the fields are
fully developed.
OTHER INTERNATIONAL EXPLORATION In 1992, a substantial gas and oil
discovery was made in the Malampaya prospect on Block SC-38 offshore northwest
Palawan Island in the Philippines. Appraisal wells confirmed that the 1989
Camago discovery by Occidental and the Malampaya discovery contain sufficient
recoverable gas for a commercial project. Occidental and its partner, Shell
Philippines Exploration Corporation, the operator, are formulating plans with
the Philippine government to develop and market the gas. Occidental has a 50
percent working interest.
In east Malaysia, Occidental made significant gas discoveries offshore
Sarawak. Occidental is the operator, with a 37.5 percent working interest.
Occidental is continuing discussions with its partners to commercialize these
discoveries. Additional exploration wells will be drilled in 1995.
In addition, Occidental acquired new exploration blocks in Bangladesh,
China, Egypt, Tunisia, Gabon and Vietnam. During 1995, exploration activities
are planned in these areas as well as on previously acquired blocks in Albania,
Colombia, Malaysia and the Philippines. In 1994, Occidental was awarded
blocks in Hungary and is negotiating a concession contract with the government.
Reserves, Production and Related Information
Reference is made to Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
and the information appearing under the caption "Supplemental Oil and Gas
Information" incorporated by reference in Item 8 of this report for information
with respect to Occidental's oil and gas reserves, the production from and
other changes in such reserves, the discounted present value of estimated
future net cash flows therefrom, certain costs and other financial and
statistical information regarding Occidental's oil and gas exploration and
production operations. Estimates of reserves have been made by Occidental
engineers and include reserves under which Occidental holds an economic
interest under service contracts and other arrangements. The definitions used
are in accordance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations. Accordingly, unless otherwise stated, all references to reserves
are made on a net basis. In 1994, Occidental reported to the U.S. Department
of Energy (the "DOE") on Form EIA-28 the same proved oil and gas reserves at
December 31, 1993, as are set forth for that date in the information appearing
under the caption "Supplemental Oil and Gas Information" contained in
Occidental's 1993 Annual Report.

NATURAL GAS TRANSMISSION OPERATIONS
General
Through MidCon Corp. ("MidCon"), Occidental engages in interstate and
intrastate natural gas transmission and marketing. MidCon's subsidiaries
purchase, transport, store, produce and process gas and sell gas to utilities,
municipalities and industrial and commercial users.
The principal subsidiaries of MidCon are: Natural Gas Pipeline Company
of America ("Natural"), which owns a major interstate pipeline transmission
system; MidCon Texas Pipeline Corp. ("MidCon Texas"), which, together with its
subsidiaries, owns and operates intrastate pipeline systems in Texas; and
MidCon Gas Services Corp. ("MidCon Gas"), which engages in the production,
purchase and sale of gas and arranges for the transportation and storage of
such gas. MidCon Exploration Company ("MidCon Exploration") owns fifty percent
interests in federal oil and gas leases for two blocks in the Garden Banks
area, offshore Louisiana. Other subsidiaries of MidCon process natural gas.
Through subsidiaries, MidCon also owns interests in several gas pipeline joint
ventures.
MidCon's interstate pipeline operations are subject to extensive
regulation by the FERC. The FERC regulates, among other things, rates and
charges for transportation of gas in interstate commerce, the construction and
operation of interstate pipeline facilities and the accounts and records of
interstate pipelines. Certain of MidCon Texas' rates and other aspects of its
business are subject to regulation by the Texas Railroad Commission.
Order 636 was adopted by the FERC to address certain marketing
advantages purportedly enjoyed by interstate pipelines over other resellers of
gas. Order 636 includes requirements that interstate pipelines no longer
provide a "bundled" service that uses their gas transportation and storage
facilities as part of marketing gas to sales customers. As a consequence,
Natural eliminated its traditional gas sales service to customers effective
December 1, 1993.
When Natural discontinued merchant service on December 1, 1993, it no
longer needed gas supplies to meet sales requirements. Natural has eliminated
most of its gas supply contracts through termination or buyout. Of the
contracts that remain, Natural's obligations are being resolved in a number of
ways in order to minimize these gas supply realignment ("GSR") costs. Natural
has reached settlement agreements with its former sales customers providing for
recovery of a significant amount of its GSR costs. Under these settlements,
which have been approved by the FERC, Natural, through monthly demand charge
billings, recovers GSR costs allocated to these customers over a 48-month
period that commenced in December 1993. The FERC has also permitted Natural to
implement, subject to possible refund, a tariff mechanism to recover additional
portions of its GSR costs in rates charged to transportation customers that
were not party to the settlements. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Properties
Natural's principal facilities consist of two major interconnected
transmission pipelines terminating in the Chicago metropolitan area. One line,
which extends from the west Texas and New Mexico producing areas, includes
approximately 7,100 miles of main pipeline and various small-diameter lines.
The other line extends from the Gulf Coast areas of Texas and Louisiana and
comprises approximately 5,000 miles of main pipeline and various small-diameter
lines. These two main pipelines are connected at points in Texas and Oklahoma
by Natural's 240-mile Amarillo/Gulf Coast ("A/G") Pipeline. A 105-mile pipeline
runs from the Arkoma Basin gas-producing area of eastern Oklahoma to the A/G
Pipeline.
-7-
10
Nine underground storage fields are operated in four states to provide
services to Natural's customers and to support pipeline deliveries during the
winter, when space heating demand is higher.
MidCon Texas owns and operates an intrastate pipeline system, located
primarily in the Texas Gulf Coast area. The system includes approximately 2,400
miles of pipelines, supply lines, sales laterals and related facilities. A
subsidiary of MidCon Texas owns a separate Texas intrastate pipeline system
(the "Palo Duro System") that includes approximately 400 miles of pipeline and
related facilities. The Palo Duro System is leased to a nonaffiliate. MidCon
Texas operates a gas storage facility in south Texas that it leases from a
partnership in which a subsidiary of MidCon Texas owns an interest.
Markets, Sales, Transportation, Storage, Production and Processing
The location of MidCon's pipelines provides access to large market
areas, to most other major pipeline systems and to nearly all major North
American producing areas. This permits delivery of natural gas directly or by
displacement to pipeline systems serving most of the United States.
Deliveries of gas by MidCon's pipelines include volumes sold by the
pipelines and their marketing affiliates and volumes owned by others which are
transported. The following table sets forth in Bcf the gas volumes sold to, or
transported for, nonaffiliates by Natural, MidCon Texas and MidCon Gas for each
of the last three calendar years:
1994 1993 1992
---- ---- ----
Natural
Sales -- 240 296
Transportation 1,318 1,408 1,364
MidCon Texas
Sales 198 211 244
Transportation 215 201 238
MidCon Gas
Sales 351 211 224
Sales volumes shown in the foregoing table for MidCon Texas include
sales deliveries by its marketing subsidiaries to nonaffiliates. The table
does not include gas transported by Natural for affiliates for sale to
nonaffiliates of approximately 220 Bcf in 1994, 151 Bcf in 1993 and 143 Bcf in
1992. The table also does not show volumes of gas that have been auctioned by
Natural following the termination of its traditional gas sales service on
December 1, 1993.
As a result of the elimination of sales service by Natural,
transportation and storage have become the cornerstones of Natural's business.
Much of Natural's former sales service was replaced by a combined
transportation and storage service. Customers purchasing this service pay
monthly demand charges irrespective of gas volumes actually transported and
stored, and commodity charges based upon actual gas volumes transported and
actual gas volumes injected into, and withdrawn from, storage. In addition,
Natural is authorized to assess separate monthly demand charges to these
customers to recover a portion of the GSR costs.
The combined transportation and storage service is provided under
service agreements with terms ending on December 1, 1995, in the cases of
Natural's major customers. While Natural anticipates that a portion of its
business with at least one of these customers will shift to other pipeline
companies following the expiration of existing service agreements, Natural
expects to enter into new transportation and storage service agreements with
all of its major customers on terms to be negotiated. Concurrent with the
-8-
11
negotiations of these new service agreements and in accordance with a
requirement in its last rate case settlement, Natural will file a general rate
case with the FERC to set new rates for its services to be effective December
1, 1995.
Pursuant to transportation agreements and FERC tariff provisions,
Natural offers both firm transportation service and interruptible
transportation service. For the 1994-95 winter heating season, virtually all
of the capacity on Natural's pipeline system is subscribed under firm
transportation agreements. Under Natural's tariff, transportation customers pay
a commodity charge for volumes actually transported, based upon the
geographical location, the time of year and, in many cases, the distance of the
transportation provided. Firm transportation customers pay reservation charges
each month, irrespective of volumes actually transported. In addition, as in
the case of the combined service described above, Natural is authorized to
assess separate monthly demand charges to firm transportation customers to
recover a portion of the GSR costs.
Natural also provides firm and interruptible gas storage service
pursuant to storage agreements and FERC-approved tariffs. Storage customers pay
a commodity charge for actual volumes injected and withdrawn and, in many
cases, a monthly charge based upon volumes of gas stored. Firm storage
customers pay a separate monthly demand charge irrespective of actual volumes
stored.
In 1994, Natural transported about 65 percent of the natural gas
delivered into its principal market, the Chicago metropolitan area. The
Chicago area deliveries were primarily to three major gas distribution utility
companies. Natural estimates that the end-use markets of its principal utility
customers were 44 percent residential, 18 percent commercial and 38 percent
industrial.
Natural's transportation competitors in the Chicago metropolitan area
consist of other interstate pipelines that own facilities in the vicinity.
Natural faces the prospect of increased competition in this market as other
pipelines consider expansion projects to increase their capability to serve the
Chicago area. Natural also furnishes transportation service for others to and
from many other locations on its pipeline system and, in recent years, has
increased transportation deliveries to markets outside the Chicago metropolitan
area. Competition for such service may be provided by one or more other
pipelines, depending upon the nature of the transportation service required.
Transportation rates, service options and available pipeline capacity and, in
some cases, the availability of, and rates for, storage services are the key
factors in determining Natural's ability to compete for particular
transportation business.
MidCon Texas and its subsidiaries make sales principally to customers
located in the Houston-Beaumont and Port Arthur area of Texas and provide
transportation service within the state of Texas. Intense competition exists
among numerous suppliers for sales of gas to customers in MidCon Texas' sales
markets. Price is the primary competitive factor. At most locations on its
system, MidCon Texas faces competition from other pipelines for gas
transportation business. Transportation rates and available pipeline capacity
are generally the key factors in determining MidCon Texas' ability to compete
for particular transportation business.
The rates for MidCon Texas' city-gate sales are subject to regulation
by the Texas Railroad Commission. Other sales and transportation rates are
determined by prevailing market conditions and are largely unregulated.
Transportation service is provided by MidCon Texas on both a firm and an
interruptible basis.
MidCon Gas makes sales of gas nationwide to local distribution
companies and commercial and industrial end users. These sales arrangements
frequently include peaking and swing services that MidCon Gas is able to
provide through its management of contractual rights for transportation and
storage capacity from MidCon's pipeline subsidiaries and other pipeline
companies. Generally, sales
-9-
12
prices received by MidCon Gas are established by negotiation. MidCon Gas also
offers a variety of fuel management services to utilities and other large
volume gas users.
During 1994, MidCon subsidiaries sold approximately 125 million
gallons of natural gas liquids obtained through gas processing operations. In
November 1994, a joint venture of MidCon Exploration made an oil and gas
discovery in the Garden Banks area, offshore Louisiana, that tested at a daily
rate of approximately 10,500 barrels of oil and 11.9 MMcf of gas.
Through other subsidiaries, MidCon is exploring opportunities in
emerging natural gas markets such as natural gas fueled vehicles, wholesale
electric power brokering and independent electric power generation. During
1994, a MidCon subsidiary opened an office in the Philippines to pursue power
generation projects in southeast Asia.
Gas Supply
As a part of its service restructuring pursuant to Order 636, Natural
has reduced substantially the amount of gas supplies it has under contract and
will be eliminating all supply contract obligations over time.
MidCon Texas purchases its gas supplies from producers and, to a
lesser extent, from other pipeline companies or their subsidiaries. MidCon Gas
purchases gas supplies from Natural at auction and from producers and other gas
marketers. MidCon Gas also obtains supplies from its own production and
maintains inventories of gas supplies in storage facilities of its affiliates
and other pipeline companies.
Pipeline Ventures
Through subsidiaries, MidCon owns interests of from 20 to 50 percent
in three pipeline ventures that operate approximately 520 miles of pipeline in
the Gulf of Mexico and interests, of varying percentages, in approximately 270
miles of jointly owned supply laterals that also operate in the Gulf of Mexico.
The ventures transport gas onshore from producers in the offshore Louisiana and
Texas areas for various customers. Other subsidiaries of MidCon own interests
of 18 and 33 1/3 percent, respectively, in two onshore pipeline ventures. These
ventures operate approximately 520 miles of pipelines from Colorado to
Nebraska.
CHEMICAL OPERATIONS
General
Occidental conducts its chemical operations through Occidental
Chemical Corporation and its various subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively,
"OxyChem"). OxyChem manufactures and markets a variety of basic chemicals,
petrochemicals and polymers and plastics.
A substantial portion of OxyChem's products are principally commodity
in nature, i.e., they are equivalent to products manufactured by others that
are generally available in the marketplace and are produced and sold in large
volumes, primarily to industrial customers for use as raw materials. Many of
OxyChem's manufacturing operations are integrated, and many of its products are
both sold to others and further processed by OxyChem into other chemical
products.
OxyChem has been expanding and further integrating its industrial
chemicals business through acquisitions and expansions of existing facilities.
OxyChem also has added capacity at several of its facilities over the past few
years through "debottlenecking" projects, which expand or modify portions of
-10-
13
existing facilities that had previously limited production, thus adding
incremental capacity at a relatively low cost.
In March 1994, OxyChem received a favorable decision from Western New
York Federal District Court Judge John T. Curtin stating that OxyChem was not
liable to New York State for punitive damages in the Love Canal lawsuit. See
Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In April 1994, OxyChem sold its 49 percent owned Mexican affiliate,
Polifos S.A. de C.V., to Grupo Industrias Resistol. Polifos lacked any
long-term strategic benefit to OxyChem, either in its base industrial phosphate
business (which OxyChem exited in 1990) or as a vehicle to enter Mexico's
chlor-alkali, vinyls, or petrochemicals industries in which OxyChem's strategic
interests lie.
In April 1994, OxyChem announced plans to resume construction of a
66,000 tons-per-year sodium chlorate plant at Taft, Louisiana. When combined
with earlier plant capacity expansions, this current expansion will increase
OxyChem's total sodium chlorate production capacity to 126,000 tons annually.
In August 1994, OxyChem signed a definitive agreement with Borden
Chemicals and Plastics ("Borden") for its purchase of OxyChem's Addis,
Louisiana polyvinyl chloride ("PVC") production facility. In addition, OxyChem
signed a definitive agreement in September 1994 with Ozite Corporation
("Ozite") for its purchase of OxyChem's Burlington South, New Jersey PVC
production facility. These actions follow OxyChem's January 1994 agreement with
the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") resolving its challenge to OxyChem's 1986
acquisition of Tenneco Polymers' PVC plants. Borden's and Ozite's acquisitions
of OxyChem's Addis and Burlington South plants, respectively, are contingent
upon FTC approval. Until such approval is obtained, there can be no assurance
that such transactions will be consummated.
In October 1994, OxyChem announced that it was exiting the
chloromethane chemical business and discontinuing operations at its Belle, West
Virginia plant. See the information appearing under the caption "Management's
Discussion and Analysis" in the 1994 Annual Report, which is incorporated by
reference in Item 7 of this report. This decision was made in light of
OxyChem's strategy of supporting only those core, low-cost businesses that can
significantly contribute to earnings. The Belle plant was a small plant which
had been unprofitable or marginally profitable for several years.
In February 1995, OxyChem and Marubeni Corporation announced revised
capacity increase plans proposing to add 700 million pounds per year of vinyl
chloride monomer ("VCM") production capacity to their joint venture OxyMar
plant located in Ingleside, Texas. The expansion is scheduled for completion in
the middle of 1997 and will bring the facility's total capacity to more than 2.1
billion pounds per year.
OxyChem's operations are affected by cyclical factors in the general
economic environment and by specific chemical industry conditions. The
chemical industry in the United States was characterized in 1994 by higher
sales prices and margins for many chemical products manufactured by OxyChem.
Continued cost reduction efforts instituted by OxyChem also resulted in savings
as compared to 1993. The integration strategy adopted by OxyChem permitted it
to maintain relatively high operating rates in 1994, with similar operating
rates expected to continue for 1995.
Similarly, conditions improved for the agricultural phosphate industry
in 1994. Both the demand and margins for domestic and offshore phosphate
fertilizers increased. As a result, OxyChem restarted its idled Swift Creek
phosphoric acid production facility. 1994 was the first full year of production
of a new product, clarified superphosphoric acid, and OxyChem successfully
established itself in this market.
-11-
14
OxyChem's operations also have been affected by environmental
regulation and associated costs. See the information appearing under the
caption "Environmental Regulation" in this report.

Based in part on statistics in chemical industry publications,
Occidental believes that during 1994 it was the largest merchant marketer of
chlorine and caustic soda; including OxyMar (OxyChem's joint venture with
Marubeni) the largest producer of vinyl chloride monomer; the largest producer
of PVC dispersion resins and chrome chemicals; the second-largest producer of
sodium silicates and ethylene glycols; the sixth-largest producer of ethylene;
and the largest supplier to the DOT-3 brake fluids aftermarket in the United
States. Additionally, Occidental believes it was the world's largest producer
of potassium hydroxide, phenolic molding compounds and chlorinated isocyanurate
products and the world's largest exporter of ethylene dichloride.
Raw Materials
Nearly all raw materials utilized in OxyChem's operations that are not
produced by OxyChem or acquired from affiliates are readily available from a
variety of sources. Most of OxyChem's key raw materials purchases are made
through short- and long-term contracts. OxyChem is not dependent on any single
nonaffiliated supplier for a material amount of its raw material or energy
requirements, subject to establishing alternative means of transportation or
delivery in the event of the termination of arrangements with existing
suppliers.
Patents, Trademarks and Processes
OxyChem owns and licenses a large number of patents and trademarks and
uses a variety of processes in connection with its operations, some of which
are proprietary and some of which are licensed. OxyChem does not regard its
business as being materially dependent on any single patent or trademark it
owns or licenses or any process it uses.
Sales and Marketing
OxyChem's products are sold primarily to industrial users or
distributors located in the United States, largely by its own sales force.
OxyChem sells its products principally at current market or current
market-related prices through short- and long-term sales agreements. Except for
sales in the export market, OxyChem generally does not use spot markets to sell
products. No significant portion of OxyChem's business is dependent on a single
customer. In general, OxyChem does not manufacture its products against a
backlog of firm orders; production is geared primarily to the level of incoming
orders and to projections of future demand.
Competition
The chemical business is very competitive. Since most of OxyChem's
products are commodity in nature, they compete primarily on the basis of price,
quality characteristics and timely delivery. Because OxyChem's products
generally do not occupy proprietary positions, OxyChem endeavors to be an
efficient, low-cost producer through the employment of modern, high-yield
plants, equipment and technology. OxyChem's size and the number and location of
its plants also produce competitive advantages, principally in its ability to
meet customer specifications and delivery requirements.
Properties
OxyChem, which is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, operates 38 chemical
product manufacturing facilities in the United States. Many of the larger
facilities are located in the Gulf Coast areas of Texas and Louisiana. In
addition, OxyChem operates 14 chemical product manufacturing facilities in
eight foreign countries, with the most significant foreign plants being in
Brazil. A number of additional facilities process, blend and store the chemical
products. OxyChem also operates an open-pit phosphate rock mine in Florida.
Recoverable phosphate rock reserves were estimated by OxyChem's independent
engineers, DeGolyer & MacNaughton, at December 31, 1994, to be approximately 73
million tons with an
-13-
16
average bone phosphate-of-lime content of 66.4 percent. OxyChem uses an
extensive fleet of barges and railroad cars and owns and operates a pipeline
network of over 950 miles along the Gulf Coast of Texas for the transportation
of ethylene, propylene and feedstocks.
All of OxyChem's manufacturing facilities are owned or leased on a
long-term basis.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Occidental's oil and gas operations, based on depletable resources,
are capital intensive, involving large-scale expenditures. In particular, in
the search for and development of new reserves, long lead times are often
required. In addition, Occidental's other businesses require capital
expenditures in order to remain competitive and to comply with safety and
environmental laws. Occidental's capital expenditures for its ongoing
businesses totaled approximately $1.1 billion in 1994 and 1993, exclusive of
the non-cash consideration for acquisitions. The 1994 amount included
capital expenditures aggregating $818 million for oil and gas, $190 million for
chemical and $93 million for natural gas transmission. The 1994 capital
expenditures reflected both the cash portion of the purchase price of certain
oil and gas properties acquired from Agip and the payments under a
production-sharing agreement for an enhanced oil recovery project in Qatar.
Occidental's total capital expenditures, exclusive of acquisitions, if any, for
1995 are expected to approximate $960 million, the majority of which is for oil
and gas operations.
EMPLOYEES
Occidental and its subsidiaries employed a total of 19,660 persons at
December 31, 1994, of whom 14,800 were located in the United States. 6,610 were
employed in oil and gas operations, 2,210 in natural gas transmission
operations and 10,310 in chemical operations. An additional 530 persons were
employed at corporate headquarters. Approximately 2,500 U.S.-based employees
are represented by labor unions.
Occidental has a long-standing policy to ensure that fair and equal
employment opportunities are extended to all persons without regard to race,
religion, color, sex, age, national origin, handicap or veteran status.
Occidental is committed to vigorous, good-faith enforcement of this policy.
Occidental maintains numerous affirmative action programs which are in effect
at company locations.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
Occidental's operations in the United States are subject to
increasingly stringent federal, state and local laws and regulations relating
to improving or maintaining the quality of the environment. Foreign operations
are also subject to environmental protection laws. Applicable U.S. laws
include the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended by the Hazardous and Solid
Waste Amendments and similar state environmental laws. The laws which require
or address remediation apply retroactively to previous waste disposal practices
and, in many cases, the laws apply regardless of fault, legality of the
original activities or ownership or control of sites. Occidental is currently
participating in environmental assessments and cleanups under these laws at
federal Superfund sites, comparable state sites and other remediation sites,
including Occidental facilities and previously owned sites. Also, Occidental
and certain of its subsidiaries have been involved in a substantial number of
governmental and private proceedings involving historical practices at various
sites, including in some instances having been named as defendants, as
potentially responsible parties ("PRPs"), or as both defendants and PRPs under
the federal Superfund law. These proceedings seek funding for remediation,
remediation, or both, and, in some cases, compensation for alleged personal
injury or property damage, punitive damages and civil penalties, aggregating
substantial amounts.
Occidental has accrued reserves for its environmental liabilities. As
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, Occidental had environmental reserves of
approximately $635 million and $742 million,
-14-
17
respectively. Occidental provided additional reserves of approximately $4
million in 1994, $18 million in 1993 and $42 million in 1992 for costs
associated with expected remediation efforts at a number of sites. The 1994
amount related entirely to the oil and gas division. The 1993 amount included a
$17 million provision in the oil and gas division and a $1 million provision in
the chemical division. The 1992 amount related entirely to the oil and gas
division.
Occidental's estimated operating expenses in 1994 relating to
compliance with environmental laws and regulations governing ongoing operations
were approximately $114 million, compared with $110 million in 1993 and $117
million in 1992. The 1994 amount included $74 million in the chemical division,
$34 million in the oil and gas division and $6 million in the natural gas
transmission division. In addition, estimated capital expenditures for
environmental compliance were $67 million in 1994, compared with $83 million in
1993 and $80 million in 1992. The 1994 amount included $42 million in the oil
and gas division, $24 million in the chemical division and $1 million in the
natural gas transmission division. Occidental presently estimates that
divisional capital expenditures for environmental compliance (including
environmental control facilities) will be approximately $99 million in 1995 and
approximately $105 million in 1996.
ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There is incorporated by reference herein the information regarding
lawsuits, claims and related matters in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In 1990, Continental Trend Resources ("CTR") filed an action against
OXY USA Inc. ("OXY USA") in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Oklahoma, seeking damages for antitrust violations and tortious interference
with contract. In 1991, a jury returned a verdict in favor of CTR for $269,000
in actual damages and $30,000,000 in punitive damages on the tortious
interference claims. OXY USA appealed the judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the 10th Circuit. On January 12, 1995, that Court affirmed the judgment.
OXY USA has filed a petition for rehearing and has suggested that a rehearing
en banc is appropriate.
In 1990, Dakota Gasification Company ("Dakota") filed an action in the
U.S. District Court of North Dakota against Natural and three other purchasers
of synthetic natural gas produced at a coal gasification plant in North Dakota,
seeking declaratory judgment as to the validity and interpretation of four gas
purchase agreements with regard to, among other things, an interpretation of
the pricing provision. Dakota also alleged breach of contract,
misrepresentation and intentional interference with contractual relations. On
January 23, 1995, the FERC approved a definitive settlement agreement between
Dakota and Natural. Settlements with the other purchaser defendants have not
yet been approved by the FERC.
In 1986, the FTC initiated an administrative proceeding against
OxyChem alleging that its acquisition of facilities from Tenneco Polymers, Inc.
in Pasadena, Texas and Burlington South, New Jersey violated antitrust laws.
The administrative complaint sought rescission of the acquisition agreement and
divestiture of the acquired assets. In 1993, the FTC issued an opinion and
final order of divestiture. OxyChem petitioned for review to the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit (the "Second Circuit"). A settlement was
subsequently reached under which OxyChem agreed to divest its facilities in
Burlington South and, in lieu of Pasadena, Addis, Louisiana, and refrain from
acquiring PVC assets for a period of 10 years without FTC approval. The Second
Circuit approved the settlement in January 1994. Definitive agreements with
Borden and Ozite to sell the Addis and Burlington South facilities,
respectively, were subsequently negotiated. Such agreements remain subject to
approval of the FTC, from which approval is not yet forthcoming.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors, Occidental Petroleum Corporation:
We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated financial statements included in Occidental
Petroleum Corporation's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1994,
incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and have issued
our report thereon dated February 3, 1995. Our audit was made for the purpose
of forming an opinion on those statements taken as a whole. The financial
statement schedule listed in the Index to Financial Statements and Related
Information is the responsibility of the Company's management and is presented
for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules
and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.
Our report on the consolidated financial statements includes an
explanatory paragraph with respect to the adoption by the Company, effective
January 1, 1992, of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 and No.
109, as discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
The undersigned, Gerald M. Stern and Paul C. Hebner, certify that they are
the President and the Secretary, respectively, of Occidental Petroleum
Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State
of Delaware (the "Corporation"), and do hereby further certify as follows:
1. The name of the Corporation is Occidental Petroleum Corporation, the
name under which it was originally incorporated.
2. The original Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was
filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on
April 9, 1986.
3. This Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted by the
written consent of the stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with
Sections 228, 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.
4. The text of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation as
amended hereby is restated to read in its entirety, as follows:
ARTICLE I
The name of the Corporation is OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION.
ARTICLE II
The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of
Delaware is Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware
19801, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle. The name of its
registered agent at that address is The Corporation Trust Company.
ARTICLE III
The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or
activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware as set forth in Title 8 of the Delaware Code (the
"GCL").
ARTICLE IV
The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of capital stock,
designated Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The amount of total authorized
capital stock of the Corporation is 450,000,000 shares, divided into
400,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.20 per share, and 50,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share.
The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series. The Board of
Directors is hereby authorized to issue the shares of Preferred Stock in such
series and to fix from time to time before issuance the number of shares to be
included in any series and the designation, relative powers, preferences and
rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of all shares of such
series. The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each series
shall include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
determination of any or all of the following:
1
(a) the number of shares of any series and the designation to
distinguish the shares of such series from the shares of all other series;
(b) the voting powers, if any, and whether such voting powers are full
or limited, in any such series;
(c) the redemption provisions, if any, applicable to such series,
including the redemption price or prices to be paid;
(d) whether dividends, if any, shall be cumulative or noncumulative,
the dividend rate, or method of determining the dividend rate, of such
series, and the dates and preferences of dividends on such series;
(e) the rights of such series upon the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation;
(f) the provisions, if any, pursuant to which the shares of such
series are convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class
or classes or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes
of stock, or any other security, of the Corporation or any other
corporation, and the price or prices or the rates of exchange applicable
thereto;
(g) the right, if any, to subscribe for or to purchase any securities
of the Corporation or any other corporation;
(h) the provisions, if any, of a sinking fund applicable to such
series; and
(i) any other relative, participating, optional or other special
powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof;
all as shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors and
shall be stated in a resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of
such Preferred Stock (a "Preferred Stock Designation").
The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or
decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote, with all such holders voting as a single class.
Each holder of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to vote shall have
one vote for each share thereof held.
Except as may be provided by the Board of Directors in a Preferred Stock
Designation or by law, the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote
for the election of directors and for all other purposes, and holders of
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive notice of any meeting of
stockholders at which they are not entitled to vote or consent.
The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the person in whose name any
share of its stock is registered as the owner thereof, for all purposes, and
shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest
in, such share on the part of any other person, whether or not the Corporation
shall have notice thereof, except as expressly provided by applicable law.
ARTICLE V
A. Subject to any rights granted in a Preferred Stock Designation to any
series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the
stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special
meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any
consent in writing of such stockholders.
B. No vote at any meeting of stockholders need be by written ballot unless
the Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the officer of the Corporation
presiding at the meeting, in his discretion, specifically directs the use of a
written ballot.
C. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any
purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors or the
Chairman of the Board of Directors. Special meetings of stockholders of the
Corporation may not be called by any other person or persons.
2
ARTICLE VI
A. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or
under the direction of a Board of Directors consisting of not less than
fourteen nor more than seventeen directors, or such greater number as is
provided for in the following paragraph. The Board of Directors shall
initially consist of fourteen directors, until the exact number is changed from
time to time within the foregoing limits by, or in such manner as may be
provided in, the By-laws of the Corporation. The directors shall be divided
into three classes, consisting initially of four, five and five directors and
designated Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. Each director shall
serve for a term ending at the annual meeting in the third year following the
annual meeting at which such director is elected, provided, however, that the
terms of the directors first elected to Class I shall end at the annual meeting
in 1987, the terms of the directors first elected to Class II shall end at the
annual meeting in 1988, and the terms of the directors first elected to Class
III shall end at the annual meeting in 1989; and provided, further, that each
director shall hold office after the annual meeting at which his term is
scheduled to end until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify,
subject, however, to prior death, resignation, disqualification or removal from
office. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall
be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in
each class as nearly equal as possible. Any director elected to fill a newly
created directorship resulting from an increase in any class shall hold office
for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the other directors
of that class. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an
increase in the number of directors shall have the same term as the remaining
term of his predecessor. In no case will a decrease in the number of directors
shorten the term of any incumbent director. Any newly created directorship
resulting from an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a
majority of the Board of Directors then in office, provided that a quorum is
present, and any other vacancy on the Board of Directors may be filled by a
majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a
sole remaining director.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more
classes or series of preferred stock issued by the Corporation shall have the
right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or
special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of
vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the
terms of the Certificate of Incorporation applicable thereto, and such
directors so elected shall be in addition to the number of directors provided
for in the preceding paragraph, and shall not be divided into classes pursuant
to this Article VI unless expressly provided by such terms.
B. The directors shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the
By-laws of the Corporation.
ARTICLE VII
Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of
Delaware, as the By-laws of the Corporation may provide. The books of the
Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in applicable law)
outside the State of Delaware at such place as may be designated from time to
time by the Board of Directors or the By-laws of the Corporation.
ARTICLE VIII
The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any
provision contained in the Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or
hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders
herein are granted subject to this reservation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Occidental Petroleum Corporation has caused this
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be duly executed in its corporate name
this 16th day of May, 1986.

____________
PURSUANT TO SECTION 151 OF THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
____________
Occidental Petroleum Corporation, a corporation organized and existing
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("this
corporation"), does hereby certify that, pursuant to authority conferred upon
the Board of Directors of this corporation by its Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, and, pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, said Board of Directors, by unanimous
written consent, adopted the following resolutions which resolutions remain in
full force and effect on the date hereof:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of
Directors by Article IV of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of this
corporation there is hereby established a series of the authorized preferred
stock of this corporation having a par value of $1.00 per share, which series
shall be designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock", shall
consist of 2,000,000 shares having the designation, preferences, relative,
participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations
and restrictions thereof that are set forth in this resolution as follows:
1.(A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any
shares of any series of preferred stock ranking prior and superior to the
shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock with respect to
dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive when and as declared by the Board of
Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, cash dividends payable
quarterly on the first days of January, April, July and October in each
year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date
after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to
the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (i) $5.00 or (ii), subject to the
provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, an amount equal to (a) 100
times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, plus (b) 100
times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all noncash
dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of
Common Stock, a distribution in shares of Common Stock to the holders of
the Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock, par value
$.20 per share, of this corporation (the "Common Stock") since the
immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to
the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any
share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock. In the event that this corporation shall, at any time after October
17, 1986 (the "Rights Declaration Date"), (1) pay any dividend on the
Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in
shares of Common Stock to the holders of the Common Stock, (2) subdivide
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (3) combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
then, and in each such case, the amount to which holders of shares of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were entitled immediately
prior to such event under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be
adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(B) This corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in subparagraph
(A) of this paragraph 1 immediately after this
1
corporation declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock
(other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that,
in the event that no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on
the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of
$5.00 per share on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall
nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.
(C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding
shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock from the Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of
such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue
from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the
determination of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends
shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest.
Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time
accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a
share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The
Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders
of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to
receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which
record date shall be no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the
payment thereof.
(D) Unless all quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions
payable on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in
this paragraph 1 have been paid or set apart for payment, this corporation
shall not:
(i) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any
shares of Common Stock or other stock ranking junior (as to dividends) to
the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock; or
(ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on
any shares of stock ranking on a parity (as to dividends) with the Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on
which dividends are payable or in arrears, in proportion to the total
amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled.
2. The holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock shall have the following voting rights:
(A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth,
each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall entitle
the holder thereof to 100 votes on all matters to come before the
stockholders of this corporation. In the event that this corporation shall,
at any time after the Rights Declaration Date, (i) pay any dividend on the
Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in
shares of Common Stock to the holders of the Common Stock, (ii) subdivide
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
then, and in each such case, the number of votes per share to which each
holder of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock was
entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying
such number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator
of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding
immediately prior to such event.
(B) Except as otherwise provided by law, or by the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation, or by this resolution,
the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating
2
Preferred Stock shall vote with the holders of the outstanding shares
of the Common Stock and of any other series of preferred stock entitled to
vote in such manner, and not as a separate class or series.
(C) If at any time the amount of any dividends on Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock which have accrued, and which have not been
paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the amount thereof set apart, is
at least equal to the amount of six quarterly dividends (unless any other
series of preferred stock has a lesser number than six, in which case such
lesser number), the holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock, voting as a class together with all other shares of preferred stock
having the then present right to elect one or more directors as a result of
a dividend arrearage, but not then entitled to other separate voting rights
to elect one or more directors, shall be entitled to and may elect two
directors. In the event that such holders, voting as a class, elect two
directors, the remaining directors shall be elected by the holders of the
other shares of capital stock of this corporation then entitled to vote for
the election of directors without rights of the holders of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock to participate in the election of such
remaining directors. Such special voting rights of the holders of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall continue only until all
quarterly dividends accrued on Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment
thereof set apart. Thereafter, at any meeting of stockholders at which
directors are to be elected, the terms of said directors theretofore
elected by the holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
shall expire. The directors to be elected by the holders of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock shall be elected at annual meetings of the
stockholders of this corporation and, except as hereinbefore provided,
shall serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders and until
their successors shall have been elected and qualified; provided, however,
that, if at any time after such election there shall be a vacancy in any
office of director to be elected by the holders of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock, the Secretary of this corporation may, and
upon the written request of the holders of record of 5% or more of the
number of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall, call a special meeting of the holders of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock for the purpose of filling any vacancy or
vacancies then existing. If the Secretary of this corporation shall fail to
call any such meeting within 10 days after any such request, such meeting
may be called by any holder of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock designated for that purpose by the holders of record of 5% or more of
the number of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock then
outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secretary shall not be
required, and the holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
shall not be entitled, to call such meeting in the case of any such request
received by this corporation less than 90 days before the date fixed for
any annual meeting of stockholders, and, if in such case such special
meeting is not called, the holders of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote at such annual meeting to fill
any such vacancy. Whenever it is provided in this subparagraph (C) that the
holders of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock are entitled
to vote to elect two directors or a replacement therefor, such holders
shall vote as a class together with all other shares of preferred stock
having the then present right to elect one or more directors as a result of
a dividend arrearage but not then entitled to other separate voting rights
to elect one or more directors.
3.(A) Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or
winding up of this corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of
shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock shall have received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to
accrued dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the
date of such payment (the "Series A Liquidation Preference"). Following the
payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference, no
additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of
shares of Common Stock shall have received an amount per share (the "Common
Adjustment") equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the
3
Series A Liquidation Preference by (ii) 100 (as appropriately adjusted
as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph 3 to reflect such events
as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the
Common Stock) (such number in clause (ii) above, the "Adjustment Number").
Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation
Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively,
holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and holders of
shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of
the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number
to 1 with respect to such Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on a per share
basis, respectively. Neither the consolidation or merger of this corporation
with or into any other corporation or corporations nor the sale or lease of
all or substantially all the assets of this corporation shall be deemed to be
a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation within the
meaning of any of the provisions of this subparagraph (A).
(B) In the event that there are not sufficient assets available to
permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the
liquidation preferences of all other series of preferred stock, if any,
which rank on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock, then the available assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders
of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation
preferences. In the event that there are not sufficient assets available to
permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such assets as remain
after payment of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation
preferences of such parity shares shall be distributed ratably to the holders
of Common Stock.
(C) In the event that this corporation shall, at any time after the
Rights Declaration Date, (i) pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable
in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock
to the holders of the Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares
of Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, and in each such
case, the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall
be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such
event.
4.(A) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (D) of this paragraph 4,
the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock may be redeemed,
at the option of the Board of Directors, in whole or from time to time in
part, at any time after the first issuance of a share or a fraction of a
share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, at a redemption price
per share equal to the greater of (i) $100.00 and (ii), subject to the
provision for adjustment as set forth in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph
4, an amount equal to 100 times the "current per share market price" of the
Common Stock on the date of the mailing of the notice of redemption, plus, in
each case, dividends accrued to the date fixed for redemption. The "current
per share market price" on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the
daily closing prices per share of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive
Trading Days (as such term is hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such
date; provided, however, that, in the event that the "current per share
market price" of the Common Stock is determined with respect to any date
occurring during any period following the announcement by this corporation of
(a) a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock payable in shares of the
Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of the
Common Stock (other than the rights issuable under the terms of that certain
rights agreement, dated as of October 17, 1986, between this corporation and
The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association), as Rights Agent), or (b) any
subdivision, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, and, if the
ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for
such subdivision, combination or reclassification, shall occur during the
requisite 10 consecutive Trading Day period, then, and in each such case,
such "current per share market price" shall be properly adjusted to take into
account ex-dividend trading or such record date. The closing price for each
day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes
place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular
way, for such day, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated
transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to
trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or, if the
4
Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock
Exchange. Inc., as reported in the principal consolidated transaction
reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on
the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is
listed or admitted to trading or, if the Common Stock is not listed or
admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted
price, or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked
prices, in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System or such
other system then in use or, if on any such date the Common Stock is not
quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the
Common Stock selected by the Board of Directors. If on any such date no such
market maker is making a market in the Common Stock, the closing price for
such date shall be the fair value of the Common Stock on such date as
determined by the Board of Directors. If the Common Stock is not publicly
held or not so listed or traded, "current per share market price" of the
Common Stock shall mean the fair value per share of the Common Stock as
determined by the Board of Directors. The term "Trading Day" shall mean a day
on which the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock
is listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of business or,
if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange, a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday on
which banking institutions in the State of New York are not authorized or
obligated by law or executive order to close.
(B) In the event that this corporation shall, at any time after the
Rights Declaration Date, (i) pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable
in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock
to the holders of the Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares
of Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, and in each such
case, the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event
under clause (ii) of the first sentence of subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph 4 shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which is the number
of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately after such
event.
(C) Notice of every redemption shall be published at least once not less
than 20 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption in
a daily newspaper printed in the English language and published and of
general circulation in the City of Los Angeles, California, and in a daily
newspaper printed in the English language and published and of general
circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York. Notice
of every such redemption shall also be mailed, not less than 20 days nor more
than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the holders of record
of the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock to be
redeemed, at their respective addresses as the same appear upon the books of
this corporation or supplied by them to this corporation for the purpose of
such notice; but no failure to mail such notice to particular stockholders or
any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock. In case of redemption of less than all of the Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, this
corporation shall select shares so to be redeemed as nearly as practicable
pro rata or by lot, in such manner as the Board of Directors may determine.
If notice of any redemption by this corporation shall have been mailed
as hereinbefore provided and if before the redemption date specified in such
notice all funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set apart so
as to be available therefor and only therefor, then, on and after the close
of business on the date fixed for redemption, the shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock called for redemption, notwithstanding that any
certificate therefor shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, shall
no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights with respect to such
shares shall forthwith cease and terminate, except the right of the holders
thereof to receive upon surrender of their certificates the amounts payable
upon redemption thereof, but without interest; provided, however, that, if on
or prior to the date fixed for such redemption this corporation
5
shall deposit, as a trust fund, with any bank or trust company organized
under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof having a
capital, undivided profits and surplus aggregating at least $5,000,000 a sum
sufficient to redeem on such redemption date the shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock to be redeemed, with irrevocable instructions
and authority to the bank or trust company to mail the notice of redemption
(or to complete such mailing previously commenced, if it has not already been
completed) and to pay, on and after the date fixed for such redemption or
prior thereto, the redemption price of the shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock to be redeemed to their respective holders upon
the surrender of their share certificates, then, from and after the date of
such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption) the shares of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be deemed
to be redeemed and dividends on those shares shall cease to accrue after the
date fixed for such redemption. The deposit shall be deemed to constitute
full payment for shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock to
be redeemed to their holders and from and after the date of such deposit the
shares shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and the holders thereof
shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no
rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive from the bank or
trust company payment of a sum sufficient to redeem the shares, without
interest, upon surrender of their certificates therefor.
(D) If at any time this corporation shall have failed to pay all
quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions accrued on the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, thereafter and until all
dividends or other distributions accrued on the then outstanding shares of
the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have been paid or
declared and set apart for payment, this corporation shall not (and shall
not permit any subsidiary of this corporation to):
(i) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock; or
(ii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock; provided that this corporation may at any
time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock
in exchange for shares of any stock of this corporation ranking junior
(either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to
the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.
(E) All shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock redeemed
under this paragraph 4 or otherwise acquired by this corporation in any
manner whatsoever shall be retired and shall be restored to the status of
authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock and may not be reissued as
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.
5. In case this corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger,
combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are
exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other
property, then, and in each such case, each share of A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in
an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
forth) equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities,
cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into
which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the
event that this corporation shall, at any time after the Rights Declaration
Date, (i) pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common
Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to the holders of the
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares of Common Stock, then, and in each such case, the amount set forth in
the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by
multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.
6
6. The Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
shall rank junior to all other series of this corporation's preferred stock
with respect to declaration and payment of dividends and as to distribution
of assets in liquidation, unless the terms of any such series shall provide
otherwise.
7. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation shall
not be changed so as to alter in an adverse manner the powers, preferences or
special rights of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock without
the consent, either in writing or by vote at a meeting called for that
purpose, of the holders of at least a majority of the number of shares at the
time outstanding of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and all
such other series of shares of preferred stock of this corporation, if any,
whose powers, preferences or special rights are also so altered in a
substantially similar manner. In giving such consent, the holders of the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and of all other such series,
if any, shall vote as a single class.
8. The Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock may be issued in
fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such
holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends,
participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of
holders of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.
9. The Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be
nonconvertible, and the holders of the Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock shall not have any preemptive rights.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Occidental Petroleum Corporation has caused this
Certificate to be signed by its Vice President and Treasurer and attested by
its Secretary this 6th day of November, 1986.

The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly

3. Dividends. (a) Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of
the assets of the Corporation at the time legally available therefor, cash
dividends at an annual rate of $3.875 per share, and no more, which shall be
fully cumulative, shall accumulate without interest from the date shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock are first issued (the "Date of Original Issue"),
and shall be payable, in cash, quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1,
July 1 and October 1 of each year (each, a "Dividend Payment Date"), commencing
April 1, 1993 (except that, if any such date is a Saturday, Sunday or Legal
Holiday, then such dividend shall be payable on the next day that is not a
Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday), to holders of record as they appear upon
the stock transfer books of the Corporation at the close of business on such
record dates, not more than sixty days nor less than ten days preceding the
related Dividend Payment Dates, as are fixed by the Board of Directors (each, a
"Record Date"). Subject to Section 3(c), dividends on account of arrearages for
any past Dividend Period may be declared and paid at any time, without
reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date. Holders at the close of
business on a Record Date of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are
called for redemption on a
2
redemption date during the period (the "Ex-Dividend Period") between such
Record Date and the corresponding Dividend Payment Date shall not, in their
capacity as such, be entitled to receive the dividend payment on such Dividend
Payment Date.
(b) The dividend payable as set forth in Section 3(a) on each share of the
Convertible Preferred Stock for each full quarterly Dividend Period during
which such share was outstanding shall be $.96875. For the Initial Dividend
Period and any Subsequent Dividend Period during which such share was not
outstanding for a full quarterly Dividend Period, the dividend payable on each
such share of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The aggregate dividend paid
to a holder of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be based on the aggregate
number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder at the
close of business on the applicable record date and rounded to the nearest
whole cent (with one-half cent rounded upward). Unless otherwise provided
herein, dividends on each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will be
cumulative from and including the Date of Original Issue to and excluding the
earliest to occur of (i) the date of redemption of such share, (ii) the date of
conversion of such share and (iii) the date of final distribution of assets
upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether
voluntary or involuntary (any such event referred to in this clause (iii),
a "Liquidation"). Holders of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall
not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in
excess of full cumulative dividends, or to any interest, or sum of money in
lieu of interest, in respect of any dividend payment or payments on shares of
the Convertible Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. Any dividend payment
made on shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall first be credited
against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend with respect to shares of
the Convertible Preferred Stock.
(c) No dividends or other distributions (other than a dividend or
distribution in Common Stock, par value $.20 per share ("Common Stock"), of the
Corporation or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the
Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon Liquidation ("Junior
Preferred Stock")) shall be declared, made or paid or set apart for payment or
distribution upon the Common Stock or upon any other stock of the Corporation
ranking junior to or on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock as to
dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation
ranking junior to or on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock as to
dividends or upon Liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for
any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking
fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock) by the Corporation (except
by conversion into or in exchange for Common Stock or Junior Preferred Stock),
unless full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of the Convertible
Preferred Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid, or
declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for the
payment thereof, for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date of
such declaration, payment, distribution, setting apart, making monies
available, redemption, purchase or acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) nothing in this Certificate shall prevent the Corporation from making
contributions to, or purchasing capital stock in connection with, its employee
benefit or dividend reinvestment plans, or from redeeming rights outstanding
under the Rights Agreement, dated as of October 17, 1986, between the
Corporation and the Rights Agent named therein, as such agreement may be
supplemented, amended or replaced from time to time (the "Rights Agreement"),
or any similar rights (the rights under the Rights Agreement and such similar
rights, collectively, "Rights") and (ii) if at any time full cumulative
dividends have not been declared and paid on the Convertible Preferred Stock
and on any of the Corporation's preferred stock ranking on a parity as to
dividends with the Convertible Preferred Stock, partial dividends may be
declared and paid on the Convertible Preferred Stock and such other preferred
stock so long as such dividends are declared and paid pro rata so that the
amounts of dividends declared and paid per share on the Convertible Preferred
Stock and such other preferred stock will in all cases bear to each other the
same ratio that accumulated and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of the
Convertible Preferred Stock and such other preferred stock bear to each other.
(d) Any reference to "distribution" contained in this Section 3 shall not
include any distribution made in connection with any Liquidation.
4. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any Liquidation, each holder
of a share of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, and be
paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for
3
distribution to its stockholders, a liquidation preference in the amount of
$50.00 per share, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such share to
the date of final distribution to the holders of shares of Convertible Pre-
ferred Stock, whether or not declared, without interest, and no more, before
any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of Common
Stock or any other class or series of the Corporation's stock ranking junior to
the Convertible Preferred Stock upon such Liquidation. If, upon any Liquidation
the amounts payable with respect to the liquidation preference of the Convert-
ible Preferred Stock and any other shares of the Corporation's stock ranking on
a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock upon such Liquidation are not
paid in full, the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock and of such other
shares will share pro rata in the amounts payable and other property
distributable with respect to such Liquidation so that the per share amounts to
which holders of Convertible Preferred Stock and such other shares are entitled
will in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that the liquidation
preferences of the Convertible Preferred Stock and such other stock bear to
each other. After payment in full of the preferences in respect of the shares
of the Convertible Preferred Stock upon Liquidation, the holders of such shares
in their capacity as such shall not be entitled to any further right or claim
to any remaining assets of the Corporation. Neither a consolidation or merger
of the Corporation with or into another corporation, nor a merger of any other
corporation with or into the Corporation, nor the sale of all or substantially
all of the Corporation's property or business (other than in connection with a
winding up of its business) will be considered a Liquidation for purposes of
this Certificate.
5. Redemption at Option of the Corporation. (a) The Convertible
Preferred Stock may not be redeemed by the Corporation prior to February 18,
1998. On or after February 18, 1998, the Convertible Preferred Stock may be
redeemed by the Corporation, at its option on any date set by the Board of
Directors, in whole or from time to time in part, out of funds legally
available therefor, at any time or from time to time, at the following
redemption prices per share, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning
February 18, of the year indicated:
REDEMPTION PRICE
YEAR PER SHARE
---- ----------------
1998.................................... $51.9375
1999.................................... 51.5500
2000.................................... 51.1625
2001.................................... 50.7750
2002.................................... 50.3875
2003 and thereafter..................... 50.0000
plus, in each case, an amount in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid
dividends thereon, if any, whether or not declared, to but excluding the date
fixed for redemption, such sum being hereinafter referred to as the "Redemption
Price." The aggregate Redemption Price paid to a holder of Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be the product of the aggregate number of shares of Con-
vertible Preferred Stock redeemed from such holder and the per share Redemption
Price, with such product being rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent
rounded upward.
(b) In case of the redemption of less than all of the then outstanding
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall designate the
shares to be redeemed by lot, pro rata or in such other manner as the Board of
Directors may determine. The Corporation shall not redeem less than all of the
Convertible Preferred Stock at any time outstanding unless all dividends
accumulated and in arrears upon all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall
have been paid for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the redemption
date.
(c) Not more than sixty nor less than thirty days prior to the redemption
date fixed by the Board of Directors, notice by first class mail, postage
prepaid, shall be given to the holders of record of shares of the Convertible
Preferred Stock to be redeemed, addressed to such holders at their last
addresses as shown upon the stock transfer books of the Corporation. Each such
notice of redemption shall specify (i) the date fixed for redemption, (ii) the
number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed, and if less
than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such
shares to be redeemed from such holder,
4
(iii) the Redemption Price, (iv) the place or places of payment, (v) that
payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the certificates
representing shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, (vi) that on and after the
date fixed for redemption dividends will cease to accumulate on such shares
(unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price), (vii)
the then-effective Conversion Price and (viii) that the right of holders to
convert shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall terminate at the close of
business on the date fixed for redemption (unless the Corporation defaults in
the payment of the Redemption Price).
(d) Any notice that is mailed as herein provided shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder of shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock receives such notice; and failure to give such
notice by mail, or any defect in such notice to the holders of any shares
designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
the redemption of any other shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. On or after
the date fixed for redemption as stated in such notice, each holder of the
shares called for redemption shall surrender the certificate evidencing such
shares to the Corporation at a place designated in such notice and shall
thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price for each such
share. If less than all the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock evidenced by
any such surrendered certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be
issued evidencing the unredeemed shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. Notice
having been given as aforesaid, if, on the date fixed for redemption, funds
necessary for the redemption shall be legally available therefor and shall have
been irrevocably deposited or set aside, then, notwithstanding that the cer-
tificates evidencing any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock so called for
redemption shall not have been surrendered, (i) dividends with respect to the
shares so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate on the date fixed for
redemption, (ii) such shares shall no longer be deemed outstanding, (iii) the
holders thereof shall cease to be stockholders of the Corporation to the extent
of their interest in such shares and (iv) all rights whatsoever with respect to
the shares so called for redemption (except the right of the holders to receive
the Redemption Price for each share, without interest or any sum of money in
lieu of interest thereon, upon surrender of their certificates therefor at a
place designated in such notice) shall terminate. If funds legally available
for such purpose are not sufficient for redemption of all of the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock that were to be redeemed, then such funds shall be
applied pro rata to the redemption of all of the shares of Convertible Pre-
ferred Stock to be redeemed. If less than all of the shares of Convertible Pre-
ferred Stock evidenced by any certificate are so redeemed, a new certificate
shall be issued evidencing the unredeemed portion of such shares, such
unredeemed shares shall remain outstanding and the rights of holders of shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock thereafter shall continue to be only those of a
holder of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
(e) The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be subject to the
operation of any mandatory redemption, purchase, retirement or sinking fund.
(f) Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no right to require
redemption of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
6. Conversion Privileges.
(a) Rights of Conversion. Each holder of shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock shall have the right, at such holder's option, to convert all or a por-
tion of the shares held, at any time or from time to time after March 30, 1993
and prior to the close of business on the date fixed for redemption of such
shares as herein provided (unless the Corporation shall fail irrevocably to
deposit or set aside the funds sufficient for such redemption), into that
number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, or such other
securities and property as hereinafter provided (calculated as to each
conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share, with .5/100 rounded upwards),
determined by dividing (i) the product of (x) $50.00 and (y) the aggregate
number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock being converted at such time by
such holder, by (ii) the Conversion Price. For purposes of this Certificate
"Conversion Price" shall initially mean $22.76 until such Conversion Price is
adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6 and thereafter
shall mean the Conversion Price in effect from time to time as so adjusted. All
adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent,
with one-half cent rounded upward.
(b) Conversion Procedures. Any holder of shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock desiring to convert such shares pursuant hereto shall surrender the
certificate or certificates evidencing such shares at the office of
5
a transfer agent for the Convertible Preferred Stock, which certificate or
certificates, if the Corporation shall so require, shall be duly endorsed to
the Corporation or in blank, or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer
to the Corporation or in blank, accompanied by (i) an irrevocable written
notice to the Corporation that the holder elects to convert such shares and
specifying the name or names (with address or addresses) in which a certificate
or certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock are to be issued, (ii) if
required pursuant to Section 6(f), an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or
similar tax (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation demon-
strating that such taxes have been paid) and (iii) such other payment, if any,
required pursuant to the following paragraph.
Except as provided in Section 3(a), the holder of a share of Convertible
Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Record Date shall be entitled to
receive the dividend payable thereon on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date
notwithstanding the conversion thereof during the Ex-Dividend Period or the
Corporation's default in the payment of the dividend due on such Dividend
Payment Date; provided, that, unless such share has been called for redemption
on a redemption date during the Ex-Dividend Period, a share of Convertible
Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion during the Ex-Dividend Period must
be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such
share on such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided for above, no payments
or adjustments in respect of dividends on shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
surrendered for conversion (whether or not in arrears) or on account of any
dividend on the Common Stock issued upon conversion shall be made upon the
conversion of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such surrender for
conversion of certificates evidencing shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and
compliance with the other conditions herein contained, deliver at such offices
of such transfer agent to the person for whom such shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock are so surrendered, or to the nominee or nominees of such
person, certificates evidencing the number of full shares of Common Stock to
which such person shall be entitled, together with a cash payment in respect of
any fraction of a share of Common Stock as hereinafter provided. Subject to the
following provisions of this paragraph, each conversion shall be deemed to have
been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which
the certificates for shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted
shall have been surrendered together with the irrevocable written notice, the
payment of taxes (if applicable), and an amount equal to the dividend payable
(if applicable), all as provided in the first two paragraphs of this Section
6(b), and the person or persons entitled to receive the Common Stock deliver-
able upon conversion of such Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time
on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall be
closed on such date, in which event such person or persons shall be deemed to
have become such holder or holders of record at the close of business on the
next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such con-
version shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date on which such
shares shall have been surrendered and the other conditions specified above
have been satisfied.
(c) Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) If the Corporation shall fix a Determination Date with respect to
the payment or making of a dividend or other distribution on its Common
Stock exclusively in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect as of
the opening of business on the day following the Determination Date shall
be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction (A) the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at the close of business on the Determination Date and (B) the
denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the
total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution.
If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion
Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then
be in effect if such Determination Date had not been fixed.
(ii) If the Corporation shall fix a Determination Date with respect
to the making of a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock
consisting exclusively of rights or warrants entitling the holders thereof
to subscribe for or purchase, during a period not exceeding 45 days from
the date of such dividend or other distribution, shares of Common Stock at
a price per share less than the Current Market Price per
6
share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date, the Conversion Price
in effect as of the opening of business on the day following the
Determination Date shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price
by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the num-
ber of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the
Determination Date plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock that the
aggregate maximum offering price of the total number of shares of Common
Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such
Current Market Price and (B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of
(x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of
business on the Determination Date plus (y) the number of shares of Common
Stock so offered for subscription or purchase. To the extent such rights
or warrants expire and, as a result, shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise thereof will not be delivered, the Conversion Price shall be
readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the
adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on
the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock
actually issued upon exercise thereof. If such rights or warrants are not
so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Con-
version Price that would then be in effect if such Determination Date had
not been fixed.
(iii) If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into
a greater number of shares of Common Stock or combined into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such sub-
division or combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced
or increased, respectively, effective immediately after the opening of
business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective.
(iv) If the Corporation shall fix a Determination Date with respect
to the making of a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock
(other than a dividend or distribution (A) referred to in Section 6(c)(i)
or (ii), or (B) in connection with a Liquidation) consisting of evidences
of its indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock or other assets
(including securities and Extraordinary Cash Dividends, but excluding
Regular Cash Dividends) (any of the foregoing, other than any such
excluded dividend or distribution, being hereinafter referred to as
"Assets"), then, in each such case, unless the Corporation elects to
reserve Assets for distribution to the holders of the Convertible Pre-
ferred Stock upon the conversion thereof so that any holder converting
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock will receive upon such conversion,
in addition to the shares of the Common Stock to which such holder is en-
titled, the amount and kind of such Assets that such holder would have
received if such holder had, immediately prior to the Determination Date,
converted its shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the
Conversion Price in effect as of the opening of business on the day fol-
lowing the Determination Date shall be reduced by multiplying such Conver-
sion Price by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Current
Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date less
the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose de-
termination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board
of Directors) on the Determination Date of the portion of the Assets so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and (y) the denomina-
tor of which shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common
Stock on the Determination Date; provided however, that in the event the
then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Assets so
distributed or distributable applicable to one share of Common Stock is
equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common
Stock on the Determination Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, ad-
equate provision shall be made so that each holder of shares of Convert-
ible Preferred Stock shall have the right to receive upon conversion the
amount and kind of such Assets that such holder would have received if
such holder had, immediately prior to the Determination Date, converted
its shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock. If such div-
idend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall
again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect
if such Determination Date had not been fixed. If such Assets consist of
any rights or warrants (other than those referred to in Section 6(c)(ii))
and such rights or warrants expire and, as a result, a portion of the As-
sets issuable on exercise thereof will not be delivered, the Conversion
Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in
effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or war-
rants been made on the basis of delivery
7
of only the Assets actually delivered. To the extent that a distribution
of Assets consists of or includes (x) securities and the Board of Di-
rectors determines the fair market value thereof by reference to the trad-
ing market therefor, the Board of Directors shall, if possible, consider
the Closing Price of such securities over the same period and (if approp-
riate) applying adjustments of the type used in computing the applicable
Current Market Price or (y) an Extraordinary Cash Dividend, the fair mar-
ket value thereof shall be deemed to be the amount of cash constituting
such Extraordinary Cash Dividend.
(v) In addition to any other adjustment required hereby, to the
extent permitted by law, the Corporation from time to time may reduce the
Conversion Price by any amount, permanently or for any period of time of
at least twenty days (excluding Legal Holidays), if the reduction is
irrevocable during the period. Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced
pursuant to this Section 6(c)(v), the Corporation shall mail to holders of
record of the Convertible Preferred Stock a notice of the reduction at
least fifteen days prior to the date the reduced Conversion Price takes
effect, and such notice shall state the reduced Conversion Price and, if
applicable, the period it will be in effect.
(vi) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless
such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in
the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by
reason of this subparagraph (vi) are not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in determining whether any sub-
sequent adjustment shall be required.
(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, no
adjustment to the Conversion Price shall reduce the Conversion Price below
the then par value per share of the Common Stock, and any such purported
adjustment shall instead reduce the Conversion Price to such par value.
The Corporation hereby covenants not to take any action to increase the
par value per share of the Common Stock.
(viii) When the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided:
(1) the Corporation shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price
and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer of the Corporation setting forth the adjusted Conversion
Price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such ad-
justment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed with
the transfer agent for the Convertible Preferred Stock; and
(2) a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted
and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price shall as soon as
practicable be mailed by the Corporation to all record holders of
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock at their last addresses as they
shall appear upon the stock transfer books of the Corporation.
(ix) In any case in which this subparagraph (c) provides that an
adjustment shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day
following a Determination Date, the Corporation may defer until the
occurrence of the event for which such Determination Date shall have been
fixed (A) issuing to the holder of any share of Convertible Preferred
Stock converted after such Determination Date and before the occurrence of
such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such con-
version by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above
the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to
such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu
of any fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6(d).
(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Convert-
ible Preferred Stock. If a certificate or certificates representing more than
one share of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at
one time by the same record holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggre-
gate number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock so surrendered by such re-
cord holder as provided in Section 6(a). In lieu of any fractional share of
Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such fractional share in an amount equal to the same fraction of the
Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
date of conversion, calculated to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded
upward.
8
(e) Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. If a Fundamental Change
occurs, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such
transaction whereby the holder of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock
then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, to convert such share only
into:
(1) in the case of a Non-Stock Fundamental Change and subject to
funds being legally available for such purpose under applicable law at the
time of such conversion, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other
property receivable upon such Non-Stock Fundamental Change by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Convertible
Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such Non-Stock
Fundamental Change, after giving effect to any adjustment in the
Conversion Price required by the provisions of Section 6(h), and
(2) in the case of a Common Stock Fundamental Change, common stock of
the kind received by holders of Common Stock as a result of such Common
Stock Fundamental Change, at the Conversion Price determined pursuant to
the provisions of Section 6(h).
The Corporation or the person formed by a consolidation or resulting from
a merger that constitutes a Fundamental Change or which acquires the Corpora-
tion's shares in any transaction that constitutes a Fundamental Change shall
make provisions in its certificate or articles of incorporation or other con-
stituent document to establish the right set forth above. Such certificate or
articles of incorporation or other constituent document shall provide for
adjustments in the Conversion Price which, for events subsequent to the
effective date of such provisions, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.
(f) Reservation of Shares; Transfer Taxes, Etc. The Corporation shall at
all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized and unissued stock,
solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Convertible Preferred
Stock, such number of shares of its Common Stock (and associated Rights, if
any) free of preemptive rights as shall from time to time be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock from time to
time outstanding. The Corporation shall from time to time, in accordance with
the laws of the State of Delaware, use its best efforts to increase the author-
ized number of shares of Common Stock (and associated Rights, if any) if at any
time the number of shares of authorized and unissued Common Stock (and asso-
ciated Rights, if any) shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all
the then outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. If the delivery of
Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock requires regis-
tration with or approval of any governmental authority under the laws of any
United States jurisdiction, the Corporation will in good faith and as expedi-
tiously as possible use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registra-
tion or obtain such approval, and shall not be required to deliver shares of
Common Stock upon conversion until such registration is made or such approval
is obtained. In addition, the Corporation shall not be required to deliver
shares of Common Stock upon conversion if, in the opinion of its counsel, such
delivery would violate the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States.
The Corporation shall pay any and all issue or other taxes that may be
payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue or delivery of Common Stock (or other securities
or assets) in a name other than that in which the shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery
shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the
Corporation the amount of such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of
the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
(g) Prior Notice of Certain Events. In case:
(i) the Corporation shall (A) declare any dividend or any other
distribution on its Common Stock (other than (x) a dividend or other
distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, (y) a Regular Cash
Dividend or (z) a dividend or other distribution of Rights that at the
time are not exercisable or tradeable separately from the Common Stock),
(B) declare or authorize a redemption or repurchase of in excess of 10% of
the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (C) authorize the granting
to all holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of stock of any class or of any other rights or
warrants (other than Rights); or
9
(ii) of any reclassification of Common Stock (other than a sub-
division or combination of the outstanding Common Stock, or a change in
par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a
party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall
be required, or of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or other property; or
(iii) of a Liquidation;
then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the transfer agent for,
and mailed to the holders of record of, the Convertible Preferred Stock,
at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock transfer books
of the Corporation, at least fifteen days prior to the applicable record
date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a
record (if any) is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribu-
tion, redemption, repurchase or granting of rights or warrants or, if a
record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common
Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, redemption,
repurchase, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on
which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange or
Liquidation is expected to become effective, and the date, if any, as of
which it is expected that holders of record of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
share exchange or Liquidation (but no failure to mail such notice or any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice).
(h) Adjustments in Case of Fundamental Changes. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Section 6 to the contrary, if any Fundamental Change occurs,
then the Conversion Price in effect will be adjusted immediately after such
Fundamental Change (which shall be deemed to occur on the earlier of (i) the
occurrence of such Fundamental Change and (ii) the Determination Date related
to such Fundamental Change) as described below.
In the case of a Non-Stock Fundamental Change, the Conversion Price
immediately following such Fundamental Change shall become the lower of (A) the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Fundamental Change (after
giving effect to any other adjustments pursuant to this Section 6 made prior to
such Fundamental Change), and (B) the product of (1) the greater of the
Applicable Price and the then applicable Reference Market Price and (2) a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be $50.00 and the denominator of which
shall be the then current Redemption Price per share of Convertible Preferred
Stock if the redemption date were the date of such Non-Stock Fundamental Change
(such denominator being (x) the applicable Redemption Price (including
accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared) set forth in Section
5 hereof, or (y) for Non-Stock Fundamental Changes occurring during the
twelve-month periods commencing February 18, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997,
$53.8750, $53.4875, $53.1000, $52.7125, and $52.3250, respectively, together
with any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not declared, to
but excluding the date of such Non-Stock Fundamental Change).
In the case of a Common Stock Fundamental Change, the Conversion Price
immediately following such Fundamental Change shall be the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such Fundamental Change (after giving effect to any
other adjustments pursuant to this Section 6 made prior to such Fundamental
Change) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Purchaser Stock
Price and the denominator of which is the Applicable Price; provided, however,
that, in the event of a Common Stock Fundamental Change in which (A) 100% by
value of the consideration received by a holder of Common Stock is common stock
of the successor, acquiror or other third party (and cash, if any, paid with
respect to any fractional interests in such common stock resulting from such
Common Stock Fundamental Change) and (B) all of the Common Stock shall have
been exchanged for, converted into or acquired for, common stock of such suc-
cessor, acquiror or other third party (and cash, if any, with respect to frac-
tional interests), the Conversion Price immediately following such Common Stock
Fundamental Change shall be the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such Common Stock Fundamental Change divided by the number of shares of common
stock of such successor, acquiror, or other third party received by a holder of
one share of Common Stock as a result of such Fundamental Change.
10
(i) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to terms used in
this Section 6:
(1) "Applicable Price" shall mean (i) in the event of a Non-Stock
Fundamental Change in which the holders of the Common Stock receive only
cash, the amount of cash received by the holder of one share of Common
Stock and (ii) in the event of any other Fundamental Change, the average
of the Closing Prices for one share of Common Stock during the ten Trading
Days immediately prior to the record date for the determination of the
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive cash, securities, property or
other assets in connection with such Fundamental Change or, if there is no
such record date, prior to the date upon which the holders of the Common
Stock shall have the right to receive such cash, securities, property or
other assets. The Closing Price on any Trading Day may be subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 6(i)(4).
(2) "Closing Price" with respect to any security on any day shall
mean the closing sale price, regular way, on such day or, in case no such
sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and
asked prices, regular way, in each case on the NYSE or, if such security
is not listed or admitted to trading on the NYSE, on the principal nation-
al securities exchange or quotation system on which such security is quot-
ed or listed or admitted to trading or, if not quoted or listed or admit-
ted to trading on any national securities exchange or quotation system,
the average of the closing bid and asked prices of such security on the
over-the-counter market on the day in question as reported by the National
Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or a similar generally accepted reporting
service, or if not so available, in such manner as furnished by any NYSE
member firm selected from time to time by the Board of Directors for that
purpose or a price determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
(such determination to be conclusive and evidenced in a resolution adopted
by the Board of Directors).
(3) "Common Stock Fundamental Change" shall mean any Fundamental
Change in which more than 50% of the value (as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors (such determination to be conclusive and evidenced
in a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors)) of the consideration
received by the holders of Common Stock pursuant to such transaction
consists of common stock that, for the ten consecutive Trading Days
immediately prior to such Fundamental Change, has been admitted for list-
ing or admitted for listing subject to notice of issuance on a national
securities exchange or quoted on the National Market System of the Nation-
al Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System
("NASDAQ NMS"); provided, however, that a Fundamental Change shall not be
a Common Stock Fundamental Change unless either (i) the Corporation con-
tinues to exist after the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and the
outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock continue to exist as
outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, or (ii) not later than
the occurrence of such Fundamental Change, the outstanding shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock are converted into or exchanged for shares of
convertible preferred stock of a corporation succeeding, directly or
indirectly, to the business of the Corporation, which convertible prefer-
red stock has powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or
other rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions,
substantially similar to those of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
(4) "Current Market Price" per share of Common Stock on any date (the
"Specified Date") shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing
Prices with respect to the Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading
Days ending on the Specified Date (or, if the Specified Date is not a
Trading Day, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Specified Date);
provided, however, that, if the Current Market Price is being calculated
with respect to an event (the "Specified Event") requiring calculation
pursuant to Section 6(c)(ii) or 6(c)(iv) and (A) the Ex-Date for any event
that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section
6(c)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) or Section 6(h) other than the Specified
Event (an "Other Event") occurs during such ten consecutive Trading Days
and prior to the Ex-Date for the Specified Event, the Closing Price for
each Trading Day prior to the Ex-Date for such Other Event shall be
adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the same fraction by which
the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such
Other Event, (B) the Ex-Date for any Other Event occurs during such ten
consecutive Trading Days and on or after the Ex-Date for the Specified
Event, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the Ex-Date for
such Other Event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by
the reciprocal of the fraction by which the
11
Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such Other
Event (provided that, if such fraction is required to be determined at any
date by reference to events taking place subsequent to the Specified Date,
the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and
described in a resolution of the Board of Directors, shall estimate such
fraction based on assumptions it deems reasonable regarding such events
taking place subsequent to the Specified Date, and such estimated fraction
shall be used for purposes of such adjustment until such time as the
actual fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjust-
ed as a result of such Other Event is determined), and (C) the Ex-Date for
the Specified Event is on or prior to the Specified Date, after taking
into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (A) or (B) of this
proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on or after such Ex-Date
shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair
market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in a manner
consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of Section
6(c)(iv), whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a
resolution of the Board of Directors) of the securities or other assets
being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the close
of business on the day before such Ex-Date.
(5) "Determination Date" shall mean, with respect to any dividend or
other distribution, the date fixed for the determination of the holders of
shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
or if a dividend or distribution is paid or made without fixing such a
date, the date of such dividend or distribution.
(6) "Ex-Date" shall mean (i) when used with respect to any dividend,
distribution or Fundamental Change, the first date on which the Common
Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant mar-
ket without the right to receive such dividend or distribution, or the
cash, securities, property or other assets distributable in such Fun-
damental Change to holders of the Common Stock, and (ii) when used with
respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, the
first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange
or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination
becomes effective.
(7) "Extraordinary Cash Dividend" shall mean, with respect to any
cash dividend or cash distribution (other than a dividend or distribution
in connection with a Liquidation) on the Common Stock (the "Specified
Dividend"), an amount determined pursuant to the following sentence. If,
upon the date prior to the date of the declaration (the "Declaration
Date") with respect to the Specified Dividend, the aggregate per share
amount of the Specified Dividend, together with the aggregate per share
amounts of all cash dividends and cash distributions on the Common Stock
with Ex-Dates occurring in the 360 consecutive day period ending on the
date prior to the Ex-Date with respect to the Specified Dividend, exceeds
15% of the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
prior to the Declaration Date with respect to the Specified Dividend, such
excess shall be deemed to be an Extraordinary Cash Dividend.
(8) "Fundamental Change" shall mean the occurrence of any transaction
or event pursuant to which all or substantially all of the Common Stock is
exchanged for, converted into, or acquired for, or constitutes solely the
right to receive, cash, securities, property or other assets (whether by
means of an exchange offer, liquidation, tender offer, consolidation,
merger, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise);
provided, however, that (A) in the case of any plan involving more than
one such transaction or event, for purposes of adjustment of the Conver-
sion Price, such Fundamental Change shall be deemed to have occurred when
substantially all of the Common Stock has been exchanged for, converted
into, or acquired for, or constitutes solely the right to receive, cash,
securities, property or other assets, but the adjustment shall be based
upon the consideration that the holders of Common Stock received in such
transaction or event as a result of which more than 50% of the Common
Stock of the Corporation was exchanged for, converted into, or acquired
for, or constituted solely the right to receive, cash, securities,
property or other assets; and (B) such term does not include (i) a change
in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to
par value, or a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (ii) any
such transaction or event in which the Corporation and/or any of its sub-
sidiaries are the issuers of all the cash, securities, property or other
assets exchanged, acquired or otherwise issued in such transaction or
event, or (iii) any such transaction or event in which the holders of
Common Stock
12
receive securities of an issuer other than the Corporation if, immediately
following such transaction or event, such holders hold a majority of the
securities having the power to vote normally in the election of directors
(or persons holding an equivalent position) of such other issuer
outstanding immediately following such transaction or other event.
(9) "Non-Stock Fundamental Change" shall mean any Fundamental Change
other than a Common Stock Fundamental Change.
(10) "Purchaser Stock Price" shall mean, with respect to any Common
Stock Fundamental Change, the average of the Closing Prices for one share
of the common stock received by holders of Common Stock in such Common
Stock Fundamental Change during the ten Trading Days immediately prior to
the record date for the determination of the holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive such common stock, or if there is no such record date,
prior to the date upon which the holders of the Common Stock shall have
the right to receive such common stock.
(11) "Reference Market Price" shall initially mean $12.33, and, in
the event of any adjustment to the Conversion Price other than as a result
of a Fundamental Change, the Reference Market Price shall be adjusted
(with one-half cent rounded upward) so that the ratio of the Reference
Market Price to the Conversion Price after giving effect to any such
adjustment shall always be equal to 0.5417.
(12) "Regular Cash Dividend" means any cash dividend or cash
distribution with respect to the Common Stock other than an Extraordinary
Cash Dividend.
(13) "Trading Day" shall mean (x) if the applicable security is
listed or admitted for trading on the NYSE or another national securities
exchange, a day on which the NYSE or such other national securities
exchange is open for business or (y) if the applicable security is quoted
on the NASDAQ NMS, a day on which a trade may be made on the NASDAQ NMS or
(z) if the applicable security is not otherwise listed, admitted for
trading or quoted, any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on
which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or
obligated by law or executive order to close.
(j) Dividend or Interest Reinvestment Plans; Other. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, (i) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant
to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on
securities of the Corporation and the investment of additional optional amounts
in shares of Common Stock under any such plan, (ii) the issuance of any shares
of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any
employee benefit plan or similar program of the Corporation, (iii) the issuance
of any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of any other option, warrant, right
or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security of the Corporation (it
being understood that the provisions of this clause (iii) shall not prevent an
adjustment to the Conversion Price otherwise required hereunder, if any, upon
the issuance, or the Determination Date relating to the issuance, of such other
option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security),
and (iv) subject to Section 6(k) below, any issuance of Rights that at the time
of original issuance are not exercisable or tradeable separately from the
Common Stock but may become exercisable or separately tradeable upon terms and
conditions set forth or similar to those set forth in the Rights Agreement,
shall not be deemed to constitute an issuance of Common Stock or exercisable,
exchangeable or convertible securities by the Corporation to which any of the
adjustment provisions described above applies. There shall also be no adjust-
ment of the Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any stock (or securi-
ties convertible into or exchangeable for stock) of the Corporation except as
specifically described in this Section 6. Except as expressly set forth above,
if any action would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more
than one of the provisions described above, only one adjustment shall be made
and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment which has the highest
value to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock (as determined by the
Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive).
(k) Rights. So long as Rights are attached to the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the earliest of any Distribution Date
(as defined below), the date of redemption of the Rights or the date of
expiration of the
13
Rights shall be issued with Rights in a number equal to the number of Rights
then attached to each outstanding share of Common Stock.
If a Distribution Date shall occur, then for purposes of Section 6(c)(iv)
(and no other purpose), a distribution of all Rights then outstanding shall be
deemed to occur on such date, which shall be deemed the Determination Date with
respect to such distribution. For purposes of such Section, a redemption of
such Rights shall be deemed an expiration thereof, except that the portion of
the Assets that were not delivered as a result of the expiration of such Rights
shall be reduced by the aggregate amount paid in redemption of such Rights. If
the Corporation does not elect to reserve Rights for distribution to the
holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock upon the conversion thereof after
such Distribution Date in accordance with Section 6(c)(iv), the adjustments
required pursuant to such Section shall be deemed an appropriate adjustment
for purposes of Section 3(e) of the Rights Agreement or any similar provision
relating to Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no adjustment
in the Conversion Price shall be made on account of any exercise of Rights.
References to Common Stock in this Certificate do not include the Rights
attached thereto.
As used herein, the term "Distribution Date" shall have the meaning given
thereto in the Rights Agreement or, if such term is not defined therein, shall
mean the first date upon which Rights become exercisable or tradeable
separately from the Common Stock.
(l) Exclusion of Treasury Shares. For purposes of this Section 6, the
number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any
shares of Common Stock then owned or held by or for the account of the
Corporation or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries.
7. Voting Rights.
(a) General. The holders of Convertible Preferred Stock will not have any
voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time
required by applicable law. In connection with any right to vote, each holder
of Convertible Preferred Stock will have one vote for each such share held. Any
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Corporation or any subsidiary
of the Corporation shall not have voting rights hereunder and shall not be
counted in determining the presence of a quorum or in calculating any
percentage of shares under this Section 7.
(b) Default Voting Rights. Whenever dividends on the Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an aggregate amount equal to at least
six full quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive), (i) the number of
members of the Board of Directors shall be increased by two, effective as of
the time of election of such directors and (ii) the holders of the Convertible
Preferred Stock (voting separately as a class with all other affected classes
or series of preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred
and are exercisable) will have the exclusive right to vote for and elect such
two additional directors of the Corporation. The right of the holders of the
Convertible Preferred Stock to vote for such two additional directors shall
terminate when all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Convertible
Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or set apart for payment. The term
of office of all directors so elected shall terminate immediately upon the
termination of the rights of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and
such other preferred stock to vote for such two additional directors. Each such
director so elected shall serve until the next annual meeting and until his
successor is elected, unless his term of office is terminated earlier as
provided in the preceding sentence.
The foregoing right of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock with
respect to the election of two directors shall be exercisable at the next
annual meeting of stockholders following the default or at any special meeting
of stockholders held for such purpose. If the right to elect directors shall
have accrued to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock more than ninety
days preceding the date established (or, if not yet established, reasonably
expected by the Corporation to be established) for the next annual meeting of
stockholders, the Chairman of the Board of the Corporation or other authorized
officer of the Corporation, if any, shall, within twenty days after the
delivery to the Corporation at its principal office of a written request for a
special meeting signed by the holders of at least 10% of all outstanding shares
of the Convertible Preferred Stock, call a special meeting of the holders of
the Convertible Preferred Stock and any other holders of
14
preferred stock entitled to vote thereon to be held within sixty days after the
delivery of such request for the purpose of electing such additional directors.
The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and such other preferred
stock referred to above voting as a class shall have the exclusive right to
remove without cause at any time and replace any directors such holders shall
have elected pursuant to this Section 7.
(c) Class Voting Rights. So long as the Convertible Preferred Stock is
outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent
of the holders of at least 66 2/3% (or such higher percentage, if any, as may
then be required by applicable law) of all outstanding shares of the
Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, (i) amend, alter or
repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be
amended from time to time, so as to affect adversely the relative rights,
preferences, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Convertible
Preferred Stock or (ii) create, authorize or issue, or reclassify any author-
ized stock of the Corporation into, or increase the authorized amount of, any
class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Convertible
Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon Liquidation. A class vote on the part
of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be required (except as otherwise
required by law or resolution of the Board of Directors) in connection with any
other matter, including, without limitation, the authorization, issuance or
increase in the authorized amount of any shares of any class or series of stock
of the Corporation that either (A) ranks junior to, or on a parity with, the
Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon Liquidation or (B) is, at
the time of such increase, undesignated as to ranking with respect to dividends
and upon Liquidation.
8. Ranking. Any class or series of stock of the Corporation shall be
deemed to rank:
(i) prior to the Convertible Preferred Stock, as to dividends or upon
Liquidation, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to
the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon Liquidation, as
the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Convertible
Preferred Stock.
(ii) on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock, as to
dividends or upon Liquidation, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend
payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof are
different from those of the Convertible Preferred Stock, if the holders of
such class or series of stock and the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon
Liquidation, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective amounts
of accumulated and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation prices, as
the case may be, without preferences or priority one over the other.
(iii) junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock, as to dividends or
upon Liquidation, if such stock shall be Common Stock or any other class
or series of capital stock of the Corporation if the holders of
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or
of amounts distributable upon Liquidation, as the case may be, in pre-
ference or priority to the holders of shares of such stock. For purposes
of this Certificate, the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of
the Corporation shall constitute Junior Preferred Stock.
9. Outstanding Shares. For purposes of this Certificate, all shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall be deemed
outstanding except (i) as provided in Section 5(d), (ii) from the date of
surrender of a certificate evidencing shares of Convertible Preferred Stock,
all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such certificate and
converted into Common Stock and (iii) from the date of registration of
transfer, all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held of record by the Cor-
poration or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation.
10. Status of Acquired Shares. Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
redeemed by the Corporation, received upon conversion pursuant to Section 6 or
otherwise acquired by the Corporation will be restored to the status of
authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to
class, and may thereafter be issued, but not as shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock.
15
11. Preemptive Rights. The Convertible Preferred Stock is not entitled
to any preemptive or subscription rights in respect of any securities of the
Corporation.
12. Severability of Provisions. Whenever possible, each provision hereof
shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely
affecting the remaining provisions hereof.

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
Occidental Petroleum Corporation, a corporation organized and existing
under and by virtue of the General Corporation law of the State of Delaware
(the "Corporation"),
DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:
FIRST: That at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation on
February 11, 1993, at which a quorum was present and acted throughout,
resolutions were duly adopted setting forth a proposed amendment of the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the "Amendment"),
declaring the Amendment to be advisable, and directing that the Amendment be
considered at the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation.
SECOND: That thereafter on April 28, 1993, the 1993 annual meeting of the
Corporation was duly held in accordance with the by-laws of the Corporation and
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, at which meeting the
necessary number of shares of stock as required by statute were voted in favor
of the following resolution adopting the Amendment:
RESOLVED, that Section A of Article VI of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, of this Corporation be amended so that in its
entirety, the said Section A shall read as set forth below.
A. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or
under the direction of a Board of Directors consisting of not less than ten
nor more than fourteen directors, or such greater number as is provided for
in the following paragraph. The Board of Directors shall initially consist
of fourteen directors, until the exact number is changed from time to time
within the foregoing limits by, or in such manner as may be provided in,
the By-laws of the Corporation. The directors shall be divided into three
classes, consisting initially of four, five and five directors and
designated Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. Each director
shall serve for a term ending at the annual meeting in the third year
following the annual meeting at which such director is elected, provided,
however, that each director shall hold office after the annual meeting at
which his term is scheduled to end until his successor shall be elected and
shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation,
disqualification or removal from office. If the number of directors is
changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so
as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as
possible. Any director elected to fill a newly created directorship
resulting from an increase in any class shall hold office for a term that
shall coincide with the remaining term of the other directors of that
class. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an
increase in the number of directors shall have the same term as the
remaining term of his predecessor. In no case will a decrease in the number
of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. Any newly created
directorship resulting from an increase in the number of directors may be
filled by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, provided
that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy on the Board of Directors
may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less
than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more
classes or series of preferred stock issued by the Corporation shall have
the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an
annual or special meeting of
stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and
other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of the
Certificate of Incorporation applicable thereto, and such directors so
elected shall be in addition to the number of directors provided for in the
preceding paragraph, and shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this
Article VI unless expressly provided by such terms.
THIRD: That the Amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of
Amendment of Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be signed by Dr. Ray R.
Irani, its Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer, and
attested by John W. Alden, its Assistant Secretary, this 28th day of April,
1993.

3. Dividends. (a) Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of
the assets of the Corporation at the time legally available therefor,
2
cash dividends at an annual rate of $3.00 per share, and no more, which shall
be fully cumulative, shall accumulate without interest from the date shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock are first issued (the "Date of Original Issue"),
and shall be payable, in cash, quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1,
July 1 and October 1 of each year (each, a "Dividend Payment Date"), commencing
April 1, 1994 (except that, if any such date is a Saturday, Sunday or Legal
Holiday, then such dividend shall be payable on the next day that is not a
Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday), to holders of record as they appear upon
the stock transfer books of the Corporation at the close of business on such
record dates, not more than sixty days nor less than ten days preceding the
related Dividend Payment Dates, as are fixed by the Board of Directors (each, a
"Record Date"). Subject to Section 3(c), dividends on account of arrearages for
any past Dividend Period may be declared and paid at any time, without
reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date. Holders at the close of
business on a Record Date of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are
called for redemption on a redemption date during the period (the "Ex-Dividend
Period") between such Record Date and the corresponding Dividend Payment Date
shall not, in their capacity as such, be entitled to receive the dividend
payment on such Dividend Payment Date.
(b) The dividend payable as set forth in Section 3(a) on each share of the
Convertible Preferred Stock for each full quarterly Dividend Period during
which such share was outstanding shall be $0.75. For the Initial Dividend
Period and any Subsequent Dividend Period during which such share was not out-
standing for a full quarterly Dividend Period, the dividend payable on each
such share of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Notwithstanding the fore-
going, in the event that any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are issued
after the Date of Original Issue upon exercise of any underwriter's over-
allotment option, such shares shall be deemed to have been outstanding from the
Date of Original Issue. The aggregate dividend paid to a holder of Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be based on the aggregate number of shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock held by such holder at the close of business on the applicable
record date and rounded to the nearest whole cent (with one-half cent rounded
upward). Unless otherwise provided herein, dividends on each share of Convert-
ible Preferred Stock will be cumulative from and including the Date of Original
Issue to and excluding the earliest to occur of (i) the date of redemption of
such share, (ii) the date of conversion of such share and (iii) the date of
final distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (any such event referred to
in this clause (iii), a "Liquidation"). Holders of shares of the Convertible
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash,
property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends, or to any interest,
or sum of money in lieu of interest, in respect of any dividend payment or pay-
ments on shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. Any
dividend payment made on shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall first
be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend with respect
to shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
(c) No dividends or other distributions (other than a dividend or
distribution in Common Stock, par value $.20 per share ("Occidental Common
Stock"), of the Corporation or in any other stock of the Corporation ranking
junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon Liquidation
("Junior Preferred Stock")) shall be declared, made or paid or set apart for
payment or distribution upon the Occidental Common Stock or upon any other
stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Convertible
Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Occidental Common Stock or any
other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the
Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon Liquidation be redeemed,
purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to
or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such
stock) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or in exchange for
Occidental Common Stock or Junior Preferred Stock), unless full cumulative
dividends on all outstanding shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock have
been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid, or declared and a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for the payment thereof, for
all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the date of such declaration, pay-
ment, distribution, setting apart, making monies available, redemption, pur-
chase or acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in this Cer-
tificate shall prevent the Corporation from making contributions to, or pur-
chasing capital stock in connection with, its employee benefit or dividend re-
investment plans, or from redeeming rights outstanding under the Rights Agree-
ment, dated as of October 17, 1986, between the Corporation and the Rights
Agent named therein, as such agreement may be supplemented, amended or
3
replaced from time to time (the "Rights Agreement"), or any similar rights (the
rights under the Rights Agreement and such similar rights, collectively,
"Rights") and (ii) if at any time full cumulative dividends have not been
declared and paid on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on any of the
Corporation's preferred stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with the
Convertible Preferred Stock, partial dividends may be declared and paid on the
Convertible Preferred Stock and such other preferred stock so long as such
dividends are declared and paid pro rata so that the amounts of dividends
declared and paid per share on the Convertible Preferred Stock and such other
preferred stock will in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that
accumulated and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of the Convertible
Preferred Stock and such other preferred stock bear to each other.
(d) Any reference to "distribution" contained in this Section 3 shall not
include any distribution made in connection with any Liquidation.
4. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any Liquidation, each holder
of a share of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, and be
paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders, a liquidation preference in the amount of $50.00 per share, plus
all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such share to the date of final
distribution to the holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, whether
or not declared, without interest, and no more, before any payment shall be
made or any assets distributed to the holders of Occidental Common Stock or any
other class or series of the Corporation's stock ranking junior to the Conver-
tible Preferred Stock upon such Liquidation. If, upon any Liquidation, the
amounts payable with respect to the liquidation preference of the Convertible
Preferred Stock and any other shares of the Corporation's stock ranking on a
parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock upon such Liquidation are not paid
in full, the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock and of such other shares
will share pro rata in the amounts payable and other property distributable
with respect to such Liquidation so that the per share amounts to which holders
of Convertible Preferred Stock and such other shares are entitled will in all
cases bear to each other the same ratio that the liquidation preferences of the
Convertible Preferred Stock and such other stock bear to each other. After pay-
ment in full of the preferences in respect of the shares of the Convertible
Preferred Stock upon Liquidation, the holders of such shares in their capacity
as such shall not be entitled to any further right or claim to any remaining
assets of the Corporation. Neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation
with or into another corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or
into the Corporation, nor the sale of all or substantially all of the Cor-
poration's property or business (other than in connection with a winding up of
its business) will be considered a Liquidation for purposes of this
Certificate.
5. Redemption at Option of the Corporation. (a) The Convertible Preferred
Stock may not be redeemed by the Corporation prior to January 1, 1999. On or
after January 1, 1999, the Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the
Corporation, at its option on any date set by the Board of Directors, in whole
or from time to time in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at any
time or from time to time, at the following redemption prices per share, if
redeemed during the 12-month period beginning January 1, of the year indicated:
REDEMPTION
PRICE PER
YEAR SHARE
---- ----------
1999............................................. $51.50
2000............................................. 51.20
2001............................................. 50.90
2002............................................. 50.60
2003............................................. 50.30
2004 and thereafter.............................. 50.00
plus, in each case, an amount in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid
dividends thereon, if any, whether or not declared, to but excluding the date
fixed for redemption, such sum being hereinafter referred to as the "Redemption
Price". The aggregate Redemption Price paid to a holder of Convertible Prefer-
red Stock shall be the product of the aggregate number of shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock redeemed from such holder and the per share Redemption Price,
with such product being rounded to the nearer cent, with one-half cent rounded
upward.
4
(b) In case of the redemption of less than all of the then outstanding
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall designate the
shares to be redeemed by lot, pro rata or in such other manner as the Board of
Directors may determine. The Corporation shall not redeem less than all of the
Convertible Preferred Stock at any time outstanding unless all dividends
accumulated and in arrears upon all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall
have been paid for all Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the redemption
date.
(c) Not more than sixty nor less than thirty days prior to the redemption
date fixed by the Board of Directors, notice (the "Redemption Notice") by first
class mail, postage prepaid, shall be given to the holders of record of shares
of the Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed, addressed to such holders at
their last addresses as shown upon the stock transfer books of the Corporation.
Each such Redemption Notice shall specify (i) the date fixed for redemption,
(ii) the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed, and,
if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number
of such shares to be redeemed from such holder, (iii) the Redemption Price,
(iv) the place or places of payment, (v) that payment will be made upon pre-
sentation and surrender of the certificates representing shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock, (vi) that on and after the date fixed for redemption dividends
will cease to accumulate on such shares (unless the Corporation defaults in the
payment of the Redemption Price), (vii) the then-effective Share Factor and
(viii) that the right of holders to convert shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock called for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the
date fixed for redemption (unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of
the Redemption Price).
(d) Any Redemption Notice that is mailed as herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder of
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock receives such Redemption Notice; and
failure to give such Redemption Notice by mail, or any defect in such Redemp-
tion Notice to the holders of any shares designated for redemption shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock. On or after the date fixed for redemption as
stated in such Redemption Notice, each holder of the shares called for redemp-
tion shall surrender the certificate evidencing such shares to the Corporation
at a place designated in such Redemption Notice and shall thereupon be entitled
to receive payment of the Redemption Price for each such share. A Redemption
Notice having been given as aforesaid, if, on the date fixed for redemption,
funds necessary for the redemption shall be legally available therefor and
shall have been irrevocably deposited or set aside, then, notwithstanding that
the certificates evidencing any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock so called
for redemption shall not have been surrendered, (i) dividends with respect to
the shares so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate on the date fixed
for redemption, (ii) such shares shall no longer be deemed outstanding, (iii)
the holders thereof shall cease to be stockholders of the Corporation to the
extent of their interest in such shares and (iv) all rights whatsoever with
respect to the shares so called for redemption (except the right of the holders
to receive the Redemption Price for each share, without interest or any sum of
money in lieu of interest thereon, upon surrender of their certificates
therefor at a place designated in such Redemption Notice) shall terminate. If
funds legally available for such purpose are not sufficient for redemption of
all of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that were to be redeemed, then
such funds shall be applied pro rata to the redemption of all of the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed. If less than all of the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock evidenced by any certificate are so redeemed, a new
certificate shall be issued evidencing the unredeemed portion of such shares,
such unredeemed shares shall remain outstanding and the rights of holders of
such unredeemed shares of Convertible Preferred Stock thereafter shall continue
to be only those of a holder of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
(e) The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be subject to the
operation of any mandatory redemption, purchase, retirement or sinking fund.
(f) Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no right to require
redemption of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
6. Conversion Privileges.
(a) Rights of Conversion. Subject to the other provisions of this
Certificate of Designations (including Section 6(e)(ii)), each holder of shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder's
5
option, to convert all or a portion of the shares held, at any time or from
time to time prior to the close of business on the date fixed for redemption of
such shares as herein provided (unless the Corporation shall fail irrevocably
to deposit or set aside the funds sufficient for such redemption), into that
number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Occidental Common Stock (cal-
culated as to each conversion to the nearer 1/100th of a share, with .5/100
rounded upwards to 1/100) determined by multiplying (i) the Conversion Ratio by
(ii) the aggregate number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock being con-
verted at such time by such holder.
(b) Conversion Procedures. Any holder of shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock desiring to convert such shares pursuant hereto shall surrender the
certificate or certificates evidencing such shares at the office of a transfer
agent for the Convertible Preferred Stock, which certificate or certificates,
if the Corporation shall so require, shall be duly endorsed to the Corporation
or in blank, or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to the Corpora-
tion or in blank, accompanied by (i) an irrevocable written notice to the Cor-
poration that the holder elects to convert such shares and specifying the name
or names (with address or addresses) in which a certificate or certificates
evidencing shares of Occidental Common Stock are to be issued, (ii) if required
pursuant to Section 6(f), an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar
tax (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation demonstrating that
such taxes have been paid) and (iii) such other payment, if any, required
pursuant to the following paragraph.
Except as provided in Section 3(a), the holder of a share of Convertible
Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Record Date shall be entitled to
receive the dividend payable thereon on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date
notwithstanding the conversion thereof during the Ex-Dividend Period or the
Corporation's default in the payment of the dividend due on such Dividend
Payment Date; provided, that, unless such share has been called for redemption
on a redemption date during the Ex-Dividend Period, a share of Convertible
Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion during the Ex-Dividend Period must
be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such
share on such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided for above, no payments
or adjustments in respect of dividends on shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
surrendered for conversion (whether or not in arrears) or on account of any
dividend on the Occidental Common Stock issued upon conversion shall be made
upon the conversion of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such surrender for
conversion of certificates evidencing shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and
compliance with the other conditions herein contained, but subject to Section
6(f), deliver at such offices of such transfer agent to the person for whom
such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are so surrendered, or to the
nominee or nominees of such person, certificates evidencing the number of full
shares of Occidental Common Stock to which such person shall be entitled, to-
gether with a cash payment in respect of any fraction of a share of Occidental
Common Stock or any cash payment pursuant to Section 6(e)(iii), Section 6(e)
(iv) or Section 6(f). Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph,
each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the
close of business on the date (the "Conversion Date") on which the certificates
for shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted shall have been
surrendered together with the irrevocable written notice, the payment of taxes
(if applicable), and an amount equal to the dividend payable (if applicable),
all as provided in the first two paragraphs of this Section 6(b). The person or
persons entitled to receive the Occidental Common Stock deliverable upon con-
version of such Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes
as the record holder or holders of such Occidental Common Stock on the Conver-
sion Date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation or the Successor,
as the case may be, shall be closed on the Conversion Date, in which event such
person or persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of
record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock
transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be based upon the Conversion
Ratio in effect on the Conversion Date.
(c) Adjustment of Terms of Conversion. The terms of conversion shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with Section 6(e) and as
follows:
(i) If CanadianOxy shall fix a Determination Date with respect to the
payment or making of a dividend or other distribution on the CanadianOxy
Common Shares exclusively in CanadianOxy
6
Common Shares, the Share Factor in effect as of the opening of business on
the day following the Determination Date shall be increased by dividing
such Share Factor by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be one
and (B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of one and the number of
shares, or fraction thereof, constituting such dividend or other
distribution to be paid or made in respect of each CanadianOxy Common
Share.
(ii) If CanadianOxy shall fix a Determination Date with respect to
the making of a dividend or other distribution on the CanadianOxy Common
Shares consisting exclusively of rights or warrants entitling the holders
thereof to subscribe for or purchase, during a period not exceeding 45
days from the date of such dividend or other distribution, CanadianOxy
Common Shares at a price per share less than the Market Price of one
CanadianOxy Common Share on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution,
the Share Factor in effect as of the opening of business on the day fol-
lowing the Determination Date shall be increased by dividing such Share
Factor by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the sum of one
plus a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the product of (x) the
number of CanadianOxy Common Shares that may be subscribed for or pur-
chased pursuant to the rights or warrants paid as a dividend on, or dis-
tributed in respect of, each CanadianOxy Common Share and (y) the per
share subscription or purchase price of such rights or warrants (converted
to United States Dollars based on the Currency Exchange Rate in effect on
the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date), and the denom-
inator of which is equal to the Market Price of one CanadianOxy Common
Share on the Ex-Date, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of
one plus the number of CanadianOxy Common Shares that may be subscribed
for or purchased pursuant to the rights or warrants paid as a dividend on,
or distributed in respect of, each CanadianOxy Common Share.
(iii) If outstanding CanadianOxy Common Shares shall be subdivided
into a greater number of CanadianOxy Common Shares or combined into a
smaller number of CanadianOxy Common Shares, the Share Factor in effect at
the opening of business on the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased or
reduced, respectively.
(iv) If CanadianOxy shall fix a Determination Date with respect to
the making of a dividend or other distribution on the CanadianOxy Common
Shares (other than a dividend or distribution referred to in Section 6(c)
(i) or Section 6(c)(ii), or in connection with a liquidation, dissolution
or winding up (whether voluntary or involuntary) of CanadianOxy) consist-
ing of evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock
or other assets (including securities and Extraordinary Cash Dividends,
but excluding Regular Cash Dividends) (any of the foregoing, other than
any such excluded dividend or distribution, being hereinafter referred to
as "Assets"), then, in each such case, the Conversion Ratio in effect as
of the opening of business on the day following the Determination Date
shall thereafter be increased by adding thereto the product of (A) the
Share Factor in effect on the Determination Date and (B) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Fair Market Value on the Determination Date of
the portion of the Assets to be so distributed applicable to one
CanadianOxy Common Share and the denominator of which is the Market Price
of one share of Occidental Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date.
(v) If the terms of conversion are adjusted pursuant to Section
6(c)(i), Section 6(c)(ii) or Section 6(c)(iv) as a result of CanadianOxy
fixing a Determination Date, and the dividend or distribution with respect
to which such Determination Date was fixed is not paid or made, or is only
paid or made in part, the Share Factor or Conversion Ratio in effect as of
the opening of business on the day following the date on which such
dividend or distribution was to have been paid or made shall be adjusted
to equal either (A) if such dividend or distribution is not paid or made,
the Share Factor or Conversion Ratio that would then be in effect if such
Determination Date had not been fixed, or (B) if such dividend or
distribution is only paid or made in part, the Share Factor or Conversion
Ratio that would then be in effect if the adjustment made as of the open-
ing of business on the day following the Determination Date had been made
on the basis of a dividend or distribution in the amount actually paid or
made. If the terms of conversion are adjusted pursuant to Section 6(c)(ii)
or Section 6(c)(iv) as a result of CanadianOxy fixing a Determination Date
for a dividend or distribution consisting of rights or warrants, and any
of such rights or warrants expire unexercised, the Share Factor or Conver-
sion Ratio in effect as of the opening of
7
business on the day following the date of expiration of such rights or
warrants shall be adjusted to equal the Share Factor or Conversion Ratio
that would then be in effect if the adjustment made as of the opening of
business on the day following the Determination Date with respect to such
dividend or distribution had been made assuming that the number of
CanadianOxy Common Shares that could be subscribed for or purchased
pursuant to the rights or warrants paid as a dividend on, or distributed
in respect of, each CanadianOxy Common Share had been multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the total number of such
rights or warrants that were actually exercised and the denominator of
which is equal to the total number of such rights or warrants that were
paid as a dividend or distributed.
(vi) In addition to any other adjustment required hereby, to the
extent permitted by law, the Corporation from time to time may increase
the Share Factor by any amount, permanently or for any period of time of
at least twenty days (excluding Legal Holidays), if the increase is
irrevocable during the period. Whenever the Share Factor is increased
pursuant to this Section 6(c)(vi), the Corporation shall mail to holders
of record of the Convertible Preferred Stock a notice of the increase at
least fifteen days prior to the date the increased Share Factor takes
effect, and such notice shall state the increased Share Factor and, if
applicable, the period it will be in effect.
(vii) No adjustment in the Share Factor pursuant to this Section 6(c)
or Section 6(e) shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Share Factor; provided,
however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph (vii)
are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into
account in determining whether any subsequent adjustment shall be
required.
(viii) When the terms of conversion are adjusted as provided in this
Certificate of Designations:
(1) the Corporation shall compute the adjustment and shall
prepare a certificate signed by the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer of the Corporation setting forth the adjusted terms of
conversion and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such
adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed
with the transfer agent for the Convertible Preferred Stock; and
(2) a notice stating that the terms of conversion have been
adjusted and setting forth the adjusted terms of conversion shall as
soon as practicable after the Corporation has calculated such
adjustment be mailed by the Corporation to all record holders of
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock at their last addresses as they
shall appear upon the stock transfer books of the Corporation.
(ix) In any case in which this subparagraph (c) provides that an
adjustment shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day
following the Determination Date with respect to a dividend or distri-
bution or on the day following the day upon which a subdivision or com-
bination becomes effective, the Corporation may defer until such dividend,
distribution, subdivision or combination is effected (A) issuing to the
holder of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock converted after such
day and before such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination is
effected the additional shares of Occidental Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over
and above the Occidental Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before
giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount
in cash in lieu of any fractional share of Occidental Common Stock pur-
suant to Section 6(d).
(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares of Occidental Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of
Convertible Preferred Stock. If a certificate or certificates representing more
than one share of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for
conversion at one time by the same record holder, the number of full shares of
Occidental Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on
the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock so
surrendered by such record holder as provided in Section 6(a). In lieu of any
fractional share of Occidental Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable
upon conversion of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation
shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional share in an amount
equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price of the Occidental Common Stock
on the Trading Day
8
immediately preceding the Conversion Date, calculated to the nearer cent, with
one-half cent rounded upward.
(e) Self-Tender for CanadianOxy Common Shares; Reclassification,
Consolidation or Merger; Occidental Common Stock No Longer Listed.
(i) Self-Tender for CanadianOxy Common Shares. In the case of the
consummation of a tender or exchange offer (other than an odd-lot tender
offer) made by CanadianOxy or any subsidiary of CanadianOxy for all or any
portion of the CanadianOxy Common Shares, in which the cash and value of
any other consideration included in such payment per CanadianOxy Common
Share (converted to United States Dollars based on the Currency Exchange
Rate in effect on the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made
pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the "Expiration Date")) exceeds
the Market Price of one CanadianOxy Common Share on the Ex-Date for such
tender or exchange offer, the Share Factor in effect as of the opening of
business on the day following the Expiration Date shall be increased by
dividing such Share Factor by a fraction (the "Fraction") of which (A) the
numerator shall be the difference between (x) the number of CanadianOxy
Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on the Expiration Date,
including any Purchased Shares (as hereafter defined), multiplied by the
Market Price of one CanadianOxy Common Share on the Ex-Date and (y) the
Fair Market Value on the Ex-Date of the aggregate consideration payable to
holders of CanadianOxy Common Shares based on the acceptance (up to a
maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all
shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expira-
tion Date (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being
referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (B) the denominator shall be
the product of the number of CanadianOxy Common Shares outstanding at the
close of business on the Expiration Date (excluding any Purchased Shares)
and the Market Price of one CanadianOxy Common Share on the Ex-Date. No
such adjustment shall be made if the Fraction is equal to or greater than
.85.
(ii) Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger of CanadianOxy. If all
or substantially all (as determined in good faith by the Corporation's
Board of Directors) of the CanadianOxy Common Shares are exchanged for,
converted into, or acquired for, or constitute solely the right to re-
ceive, cash, securities, property or other assets (whether by means of an
exchange offer, liquidation, tender offer, consolidation, merger, com-
bination, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) other than pur-
suant to a tender or exchange offer to which Section 6(e)(i) applies, then
each holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding
shall thereafter have the right, at such holder's option, to convert all
or a portion of the shares held, at any time or from time to time prior to
the close of business on the date fixed for redemption of such shares as
herein provided (unless the Corporation shall fail irrevocably to deposit
or set aside the funds sufficient for such redemption), only into that
number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Occidental Common Stock
equal to the product of (A) the sum of (x) an amount equal to the product
of (i) the Share Factor in effect on the date on which such transaction
becomes effective, and (ii) the Price Ratio in effect on the Conversion
Date for such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, assuming, for pur-
poses of calculating such Price Ratio, that the Closing Price and the Mar-
ket Price of one CanadianOxy Common Share, at all relevant times, is equal
to the Fair Market Value, on the effective date of the transaction, of the
cash, securities, property or other assets that a holder of one
CanadianOxy Common Share would be entitled to receive in connection there-
with and (y) for each dividend or distribution of Assets pursuant to which
the Conversion Ratio has been increased pursuant to Section 6(c)(iv), an
amount equal to the product of (i) the Share Factor in effect on the
Determination Date for such dividend or distribution and (ii) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value on the Determination Date
of the portion of the Assets to be so distributed applicable to one
CanadianOxy Common Share and the denominator of which is the Market Price
of one share of Occidental Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date
and (B) the aggregate number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
being converted at such time by such holder; provided, however, that not-
withstanding the foregoing, if all or substantially all (as determined in
good faith by the Corporation's Board of Directors) of the CanadianOxy
Common Shares are exchanged for, converted into, or acquired for, or con-
stitute solely the right to receive, shares of one or more Listed Common
Stocks issued by
9
CanadianOxy or its successor (and cash paid in lieu of fractional shares)
and all or substantially all (as determined in good faith by the
Corporation's Board of Directors) of the market value of the outstanding
CanadianOxy Common Shares is represented by shares of one such Listed
Common Stock, then (A) the Share Factor in effect on the opening of
business on the date after the effective date of such transaction shall be
adjusted by multiplying such Share Factor by the number of shares of such
Listed Common Stock which the holder of CanadianOxy Common Shares was
entitled to receive upon the consummation of such transaction for each
CanadianOxy Common Share held, (B) if shares of such Listed Common Stock
are to be issued by CanadianOxy, all references in this Certificate of
Designations to "CanadianOxy Common Shares" shall, after the effective
date of such transaction, be deemed to refer to shares of such Listed Com-
mon Stock, and (C) if shares of such Listed Common Stock are to be issued
by a successor to CanadianOxy, all references in this Certificate of
Designations to "CanadianOxy Common Shares" (other than in this proviso,
it being the case that if a similar event occurs with respect to the List-
ed Common Stock of a successor to CanadianOxy, this proviso shall not
apply) and all references to "CanadianOxy" shall, after the effective date
of such transaction, be deemed to refer to shares of such Listed Common
Stock and such successor, respectively (it being the case that, after the
effective date of the transaction, the Day Prior Ratio and the Five Day
Ratio shall be calculated by reference to Closing Prices of shares of such
Listed Common Stock rather than CanadianOxy Common Shares).
(iii) Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger of Occidental. If all
or substantially all (as determined in good faith by the Corporation's
Board of Directors) of the Occidental Common Stock is exchanged for,
converted into, or acquired for, or constitutes solely the right to
receive, cash, securities, property or other assets (whether by means of
an exchange offer, liquidation, tender offer, consolidation, merger,
combination, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise), then each
holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall
thereafter have the right, at such holder's option, to convert all or a
portion of the shares held, at any time or from time to time prior to the
close of business on the date fixed for redemption of such shares as
herein provided (unless the Corporation shall fail irrevocably to deposit
or set aside the funds sufficient for such redemption), into shares of a
Listed Common Stock of the Corporation or the person formed by any con-
solidation or resulting from any such merger or which acquires all or sub-
stantially all of the Occidental Common Stock (the "Successor") or, if the
Corporation or the Successor so elects at the time of any such conversion
or if shares of Listed Common Stock of the Corporation or the Successor
are not available, and subject to funds being legally available for such
purpose under applicable law at the time of such conversion, into cash or
any combination of cash and shares of such Listed Common Stock, in each
such case, having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the Conversion Date
equal to the sum of (x) the product of (i) the Share Factor in effect on
the Conversion Date and (ii) the Market Price of one CanadianOxy Common
Share on the Conversion Date and (y) for each dividend or distribution of
Assets pursuant to which the Conversion Ratio has been increased pursuant
to Section 6(c)(iv), an amount equal to the product of (i) the Share
Factor in effect on the Determination Date for such dividend or distribu-
tion and (ii) the Fair Market Value on the Determination Date of the por-
tion of the Assets to be so distributed applicable to one CanadianOxy Com-
mon Share. If, pursuant to the foregoing provision, the Convertible Pre-
ferred Stock becomes convertible into shares of Listed Common Stock of the
Corporation other than the Occidental Common Stock, then all references in
this Section 6 (other than in Section 6(j)) to "Occidental Common Stock"
shall, after the effective date of the transaction, be deemed to be
references to such other Listed Common Stock (it being the case that the
Day Prior Ratio and the Five Day Ratio shall thereafter be calculated by
reference to Closing Prices of shares of such Listed Common Stock rather
than shares of Occidental Common Stock).
(iv) Occidental Common Stock No Longer Listed. If the Occidental
Common Stock ceases to be a Listed Common Stock, other than by reason of a
transaction described in Section 6(e)(iii), then each holder of shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall thereafter have the
right, at such holder's option, to convert all or a portion of the shares
held, at any time or from time to time prior to the close of business on
the date fixed for redemption of such shares as herein provided (unless
the Corporation shall fail irrevocably to deposit or set aside the funds
sufficient for such redemption), into shares of a Listed Common Stock of
the Corporation or, if the Corporation so elects at the time of any
10
such conversion or if shares of Listed Common Stock of the Corporation are
not available, and subject to funds being legally available for such
purpose under applicable law at the time of such conversion, into cash or
any combination of cash and shares of such Listed Common Stock, in each
such case having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the Conversion Date
equal to the sum of (x) the product of (i) the Share Factor in effect on
the Conversion Date and (ii) the Market Price of one CanadianOxy Common
Share on the Conversion Date and (y) for each dividend or distribution of
Assets pursuant to which the Conversion Ratio has been increased pursuant
to Section 6(c)(iv), an amount equal to the product of (i) the Share Fac-
tor in effect on the Determination Date for such dividend or distribution
and (ii) the Fair Market Value on the Determination Date of the portion
of the Assets to be so distributed applicable to one CanadianOxy Common
Share. If, pursuant to the foregoing provision, the Convertible Preferred
Stock becomes convertible into shares of Listed Common Stock of the Corp-
oration other than the Occidental Common Stock, then all references in
this Section 6 (other than in Section 6(j)) to "Occidental Common Stock"
shall, after the date on which the Occidental Common Stock is no longer a
Listed Common Stock, be deemed to be references to such other Listed Com-
mon Stock (it being the case that the Day Prior Ratio and the Five Day
Ratio shall thereafter be calculated by reference to Closing Prices of
shares of such Listed Common Stock rather than shares of Occidental Common
Stock).
(f) Reservation of Shares; Transfer Taxes, Etc. The Corporation shall
initially reserve and keep available, out of its authorized and unissued stock,
solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Convertible Preferred
Stock, such number of shares of Occidental Common Stock (and associated Rights,
if any) free of preemptive rights as shall initially be sufficient to effect
the conversion of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock initially issued.
The Corporation may, from time to time thereafter, reduce the number of such
shares reserved and kept available, out of its authorized and unissued stock,
to an amount sufficient to effect the conversion, at such time, of all shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding. The Corporation
shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware,
use commercially reasonable efforts to increase the authorized number of shares
of Occidental Common Stock (and associated Rights, if any) if at any time the
number of shares of authorized and unissued Occidental Common Stock (and
associated Rights, if any) shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of
all the then outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. If the delivery
of Occidental Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock
requires registration with or approval of any governmental authority under the
laws of any United States jurisdiction, the Corporation will in good faith and
as expeditiously as possible use commercially reasonable efforts to make such
registration or obtain such approval, and shall not be required to deliver
shares of Occidental Common Stock upon conversion until such registration is
made or such approval is obtained. In addition, the Corporation shall not be
required to deliver shares of Occidental Common Stock upon conversion if, in
the opinion of its counsel, such delivery would violate the laws of any
jurisdiction outside the United States.
The Corporation shall pay any and all issue or other taxes (other than
taxes based on income) that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery
of shares of Occidental Common Stock (or other securities or assets) upon
conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue or delivery of Occidental Common Stock (or other
securities or assets) in a name other than that in which the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue or
delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has
paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or has established, to the
satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
To the extent required by law, the Corporation may, upon any conversion of
Convertible Preferred Stock, retain any shares of Occidental Common Stock (or
other securities or assets) otherwise required to be delivered upon such
conversion to the extent necessary to provide for the payment of taxes required
to be withheld or deducted by the Corporation, and paid to any taxing authority
having jurisdiction, from amounts otherwise due to the holder; provided that
the Corporation shall apply such shares or other securities or assets (or cash
received upon disposition thereof), or make other provision, to discharge such
taxes.
11
At any time that the Corporation lacks sufficient authorized and unissued
shares of Occidental Common Stock to effect the conversion of all shares of
outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation may, to the extent of
such insufficiency and subject to funds being legally available for such pur-
pose under applicable law at the time of conversion, elect to deliver, in lieu
of shares of Occidental Common Stock, cash in an amount equal to the product of
(i) such number of shares of Occidental Common Stock as would otherwise be
deliverable and (ii) the Market Price on the Conversion Date of one share of
Occidental Common Stock.

furnished by any NYSE member firm (in the case of a security for which the
principal trading market is in the United States) or by any TSE member
firm (in the case of a security for which the principal trading market is
in Canada) selected from time to time by the Board of Directors for that
purpose or a price determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and

then in effect, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6(c)(iv);
provided, however, that during any Redemption Period, "Conversion Ratio"
shall mean the Conversion Ratio in effect as of the first day of such
Redemption Period.

applicable day, "Currency Exchange Rate" shall mean the then most recently
available such noon buying rate.
(vi) "Day Prior Ratio" shall mean, on any date (the "Calculation
Date"), the amount determined by dividing (A) the Closing Price of one
CanadianOxy Common Share by (B) the Closing Price of one share of
Occidental Common Stock, in each case, on the first Trading Day with
respect to both the CanadianOxy Common Shares and the Occidental Common
Stock that immediately precedes the Calculation Date; provided, however,
that if an event occurs with respect to the CanadianOxy Common Shares that
would require an adjustment of the Share Factor pursuant to Section
6(c)(i), Section 6(c)(ii), Section 6(c)(iii) or Section 6(e)(i) , or if an
event occurs with respect to the Occidental Common Stock that would re-
quire such an adjustment if such event had occurred with respect to the
CanadianOxy Common Shares, and the Ex-Date in connection with such event
occurs on or prior to the Calculation Date, then (A) if such adjustment is
not, or, in the case of an event with respect to the Occidental Common
Stock, would not have been, effective as of the Calculation Date, and such
Trading Day occurs on or after such Ex-Date, then, for each such event
with respect to the CanadianOxy Common Shares, the Closing Price of one

be adjusted, in each case, by multiplying such Closing Price by the Share
Factor that would be in effect on the Calculation Date if the Share Factor
had been so adjusted (assuming that the Share Factor in effect without
such adjustment is equal to one) and (B) if such adjustment is, or, in the
case of an event with respect to the Occidental Common Stock, would have
been, effective as of the Calculation Date, and such Trading Day occurs
prior to such
13
Ex-Date, then, for each such event with respect to the CanadianOxy Common
Shares, the Closing Price of one CanadianOxy Common Share for such Trading
Day shall be adjusted and, for each such event with respect to the
Occidental Common Stock, the Closing Price of one share of Occidental
Common Stock for such Trading Day shall be adjusted, in each case, by
multiplying such Closing Price by the Share Factor that would be in effect
on the Calculation Date if the Share Factor had not been so adjusted
(assuming that the Share Factor in effect with such adjustment is equal to
one); provided, further, that if an event occurs with respect to the
CanadianOxy Common Shares that would require an adjustment of the
Conversion Ratio pursuant to Section 6(c)(iv), or if an event occurs with
respect to the Occidental Common Stock that would require such an
adjustment if such event had occurred with respect to the CanadianOxy
Common Shares, and the Ex-Date in connection with such event occurs on or
prior to the Calculation Date, then (A) if such adjustment is not, or, in
the case of an event with respect to the Occidental Common Stock, would
not have been, effective as of the Calculation Date, and such Trading Day
occurs on or after such Ex-Date, then, for each such event with respect to
the CanadianOxy Common Shares, the Closing Price of one CanadianOxy Common
Share for such Trading Day shall be adjusted and, for each such event with
respect to the Occidental Common Stock, the Closing Price of one share of
Occidental Common Stock for such Trading Day shall be adjusted, in each
case, by adding to such Closing Price the Fair Market Value on the
Determination Date of the portion of the Assets to be so distributed
applicable to one CanadianOxy Common Share or one share of Occidental
Common Stock, as the case may be, and (B) if such adjustment is, or, in
the case of an event with respect to the Occidental Common Stock, would
have been, effective as of the Calculation Date, and such Trading Day
occurs prior to such Ex-Date, then, for each such event with respect to
the CanadianOxy Common Shares, the Closing Price of one CanadianOxy Common
Share for such Trading Day shall be adjusted and, for each such event with
respect to the Occidental Common Stock, the Closing Price of one share of
Occidental Common Stock for such Trading Day shall be adjusted, in each
case, by subtracting from such Closing Price the Fair Market Value on the
Determination Date of the portion of the Assets to be so distributed
applicable to one CanadianOxy Common Share or one share of Occidental
Common Stock, as the case may be. If two or more events occur that,
pursuant to clause (A) of either of the provisos to this definition,
require adjustments to be made to either the Closing Price of one
CanadianOxy Common Share or the Closing Price of one share of Occidental
Common Stock on the Trading Day with respect to which the Day Prior Ratio
is being calculated, and the Ex-Dates in connection with such events occur
on or prior to such Trading Day, the adjustments for such events shall be
made in the reverse of the order in which the Ex-Dates in connection with
such events occurred. If two or more events occur that, pursuant to clause
(B) of either of the provisos to this definition, require adjustments to
be made to either the Closing Price of one CanadianOxy Common Share or the
Closing Price of one share of Occidental Common Stock on the Trading Day
with respect to which the Day Prior Ratio is being calculated, and the
Ex-Dates in connection with such events occur after such Trading Day, the
adjustments for such events shall be made in the order in which the
Ex-Dates in connection with such events occurred. If one or more events
occur that, pursuant to clause (A) of either of the provisos to this
definition, require adjustments to be made to either the Closing Price of
one CanadianOxy Common Share or the Closing Price of one share of
Occidental Common Stock on the Trading Day with respect to which the Day
Prior Ratio is being calculated, and one or more events occur that,
pursuant to clause (B) of either of such provisos, require adjustments to
be made to such Closing Price, the adjustments for such events shall be
made in the order in which the Ex-Dates in connection with such events
occurred.
(vii) "Determination Date" shall mean (A) when used with respect to
any dividend or other distribution, the date fixed for the determination
of the holders of the security entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution, or, if a dividend or distribution is paid or made without
fixing such a date, the date of such dividend or distribution and (B) when
used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of a
security, the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes
effective.
(viii) "Ex-Date" shall mean (A) when used with respect to any div-
idend or distribution, the first date on which the security on which the
dividend or distribution is payable trades regular way on the relevant
exchange or in the relevant market without the right to receive such div-
idend or distribution, (B) when used with respect to any subdivision or
combination of shares of a security, the first date on
14
which the security trades regular way on such exchange or in such market
to reflect such subdivision or combination becoming effective, and (C)
when used with respect to any tender or exchange offer, the first date on
which the security subject to such tender or exchange offer trades regular
way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market without the right
to participate in such tender or exchange offer.
(ix) "Extraordinary Cash Dividend" shall mean, with respect to any
security, a cash dividend or cash distribution on such security (other
than a dividend or distribution in connection with a liquidation, dis-
solution or winding up (whether voluntary or involuntary) of the issuer of
such security) (the "Specified Dividend"), in an amount determined pur-
suant to the following sentence. If, upon the date prior to the date of
the declaration (the "Declaration Date") with respect to the Specified
Dividend, the aggregate per share amount of the Specified Dividend,
together with the aggregate per share amounts of all cash dividends and
cash distributions on such security with Ex-Dates occurring in the 360
consecutive day period ending on the date prior to the Ex-Date with re-
spect to the Specified Dividend, exceeds 15% of the Market Price (which,
in the case of a cash dividend or distribution denominated in Canadian
dollars, shall be denominated in Canadian dollars and calculated using
Closing Prices converted to Canadian dollars based on the Currency Ex-
change Rate in effect on the day each such Closing Price is determined) of
such security on the Trading Day prior to the Declaration Date with re-
spect to the Specified Dividend, such excess shall be deemed to be an
Extraordinary Cash Dividend.
(x) "Fair Market Value" shall mean (A) with respect to an asset other
than cash or a Listed Security, the fair market value in United States
Dollars (with foreign currencies converted into United States Dollars on
the basis of the relevant noon buying rate on the relevant date deter-
mined, to the extent possible, in accordance with Section 6(h)(v) hereof)
determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive, and set forth in a resolution adopted by the Board of
Directors, (B) with respect to cash, the amount of such cash, converted to
United States Dollars using the Currency Exchange Rate on the date such
Fair Market Value is determined, and (C) with respect to a Listed Secur-
ity, the Market Price of such Listed Security. All calculations of Fair
Market Value, whether determined on an aggregate or a per share basis,
shall, if not otherwise specified by the Board of Directors, be rounded to
the nearer cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.
(xi) "Five Day Ratio" shall mean, on any date, the amount determined
by dividing (A) the Market Price of one CanadianOxy Common Share on such
date by (B) the Market Price of one share of Occidental Common Stock on
such date. For purposes of computing the Five Day Ratio, the term "Trading
Day", as used in the definition of "Market Price", shall mean a day that
is a Trading Day with respect to both the CanadianOxy Common Shares and
the Occidental Common Stock.
(xii) "Listed Common Stock" shall mean common stock or common shares
of a United States or Canadian corporation, as the case may be, that is
listed, quoted or admitted to trading on any United States or Canadian

or admitted to trading on any United States or Canadian national secur-
ities exchange, national quotation system or over-the-counter market.
(xiv) "Market Price" shall mean, with respect to any security on any
date (the "Specified Date"), the average of the daily Closing Prices with
respect to the security for the five consecutive Trading Days for such
security ending on the second Trading Day that immediately precedes the
Specified Date; provided, however, that if an event occurs that would
require an adjustment of the Share Factor pursuant to Section 6(c)(i),
Section 6(c)(ii), Section 6(c)(iii) or Section 6(e)(i) if all references
therein to "CanadianOxy Common Shares" were deemed to be references to
such security and all references therein to "CanadianOxy" were deemed to
be references to the issuer of such security, and the Ex-Date in connec-
tion with such event occurs on or prior to the Specified Date, then (A) if
such adjustment would not have been effective as of the Specified Date,
then, for each such event, the Closing Price for each such Trading Day on
and after such Ex-Date shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price
by the Share Factor that would be in effect on the Specified Date if the
Share Factor had been so adjusted (assuming that the Share Factor in
effect without such adjustment is equal to one) and (B) if such
15
adjustment would have been effective as of the Specified Date, then, for
each such event, the Closing Price for each such Trading Day prior to such
Ex-Date shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the Share
Factor that would be in effect on the Specified Date if the Share Factor
had not been so adjusted (assuming that the Share Factor in effect with
such adjustment is equal to one); provided, further, that if an event
occurs that would require an adjustment of the Conversion Ratio pursuant
to Section 6(c)(iv) if all references therein to "CanadianOxy Common
Shares" were deemed to be references to such security and all references
therein to "CanadianOxy" were deemed to be references to the issuer of
such security, and the Ex-Date in connection with such event occurs on or
prior to the Specified Date, then (A) if such adjustment would not have
been effective as of the Specified Date, then, for each such event, the
Closing Price for each such Trading Day on and after such Ex-Date shall be
adjusted by adding to such Closing Price the Fair Market Value on the
Determination Date of the portion of the Assets to be so distributed
applicable to one share of such security and (B) if such adjustment would
have been effective as of the Specified Date, then, for each such event,
the Closing Price for each such Trading Day prior to such Ex-Date shall be
adjusted by subtracting from such Closing Price the Fair Market Value on
the Determination Date of the portion of the Assets to be so distributed
applicable to one share of such security; provided, further, that, from
and after the second Trading Day for such security that immediately
succeeds the last Trading Day for such security on which such security was
a Listed Security, the Market Price shall be determined by reference to
the five consecutive Trading Days for such security ending on the last
Trading Day for such security on which the security was a Listed Security.
If two or more events occur that, pursuant to clause (A) of either of the
first two provisos to this definition, require adjustments to be made to
any Closing Price on one of the five consecutive Trading Days with respect
to which Market Price is being calculated, and the Ex-Dates in connection
with such events occur on or prior to the Trading Day for such Closing
Price, the adjustments for such events shall be made in the reverse of the
order in which the Ex-Dates in connection with such events occurred. If
two or more events occur that, pursuant to clause (B) of either of the
first two provisos to this definition, require adjustments to be made to
any Closing Price on one of the five consecutive Trading Days with respect
to which Market Price is being calculated, and the Ex-Dates in connection
with such events occur after the Trading Day for such Closing Price, the
adjustments for such events shall be made in the order in which the Ex-
Dates in connection with such events occurred. If one or more events occur
that, pursuant to clause (A) of either of the first two provisos to this
definition, require adjustments to be made to any Closing Price on one of
the five consecutive Trading Days with respect to which Market Price is
being calculated, and one or more events occur that, pursuant to clause
(B) of either of such provisos, require adjustments to be made to such
Closing Price, the adjustments for such events shall be made in the order
in which the Ex-Dates in connection with such events occurred.
(xv) "Price Ratio" shall mean (A) as of any date during a Redemption
Period, either (x) the Five Day Ratio as of the first day of such
Redemption Period or (y) if the Day Prior Ratio as of the first day of
such Redemption Period is greater than the product of 1.05 times such Five
Day Ratio, such Day Prior Ratio; and (B) as of any date outside of a Re-
demption Period, either (x) the Five Day Ratio as of such day or (y) if
the Day Prior Ratio as of such day is less than the product of 0.95 times
such Five Day Ratio, such Day Prior Ratio.
(xvi) "Redemption Period" shall mean the period of time from and
including (A) the date on which the Corporation gives a Redemption Notice
to the holders of record of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, to and
including (B) the date fixed for redemption in the Redemption Notice.
(xvii) "Regular Cash Dividend" shall mean, with respect to any
security, any cash dividend or cash distribution with respect to such
security other than an Extraordinary Cash Dividend.
(xviii) "Share Factor" shall mean 1.766 until such Share Factor is
adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 and thereafter
shall mean the Share Factor in effect from time to time as so adjusted.
(xix) "Trading Day" shall mean, with respect to any security, (A) if
the principal trading market for the applicable security is in the United
States and such security is listed or admitted for trading on the
16
NYSE or another United States national securities exchange, a day on which
the NYSE or such other United States national securities exchange is open
for business, (B) if the principal trading market for the applicable
security is in Canada and such security is listed or admitted for trading
on the TSE or another Canadian national securities exchange, a day on
which the TSE or such other Canadian national securities exchange is open
for business, (C) if the principal trading market for the applicable
security is in the United States and such security is quoted on the Nasdaq
National Market ("NNM"), a day on which a trade may be made on the NNM or
(D) if the applicable security is not listed, admitted for trading or
quoted as provided in the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), any day
other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in
the State of New York, in the case of a United States issuer, or in the
Province of Ontario, Canada, in the case of a Canadian issuer, are
authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
(i) Dividend or Interest Reinvestment Plans; Other. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, (i) the issuance of any CanadianOxy Common Shares pur-
suant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest pay-
able on securities of CanadianOxy and the investment of additional optional
amounts in CanadianOxy Common Shares under any such plan, (ii) the issuance of
any CanadianOxy Common Shares or options or rights to purchase such shares pur-
suant to any employee benefit plan or similar program of CanadianOxy, and
(iii) the issuance of any CanadianOxy Common Shares upon exercise of any other
option, warrant or right or any exercisable, exchangeable or convertible secur-
ity of CanadianOxy (it being understood that the provisions of this clause
(iii) shall not prevent an adjustment to the Share Factor otherwise required
hereunder, if any, upon the issuance, or upon the fixing of a Determination
Date relating to the issuance, of such other option, warrant or right or such
exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security), shall not be deemed to
constitute an issuance of CanadianOxy Common Shares or, in the case of options
or rights referred to in clause (ii) above, any options or rights to which any
of the adjustment provisions described above apply, nor shall there be any
adjustment of the Share Factor in the case of an issuance of any stock (or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock) of CanadianOxy except as
specifically described in this Section 6. Except as expressly set forth above,
if any action would require adjustment of the Share Factor pursuant to more
than one of the provisions described above in this Section 6(i), only one
adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment
which has the highest value to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock
(as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive).
(j) Rights. So long as Rights are attached to the outstanding shares of
Occidental Common Stock, each share of Occidental Common Stock issued upon
conversion of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the earliest
of any Distribution Date (as defined below), the date of redemption of the
Rights or the date of expiration of the Rights shall be issued with Rights in a
number equal to the number of Rights then attached to each outstanding share of
Occidental Common Stock. As used herein, the term "Distribution Date" shall
have the meaning given thereto in the Rights Agreement or, if such term is not
defined therein, shall mean the first date upon which Rights become exercisable
or tradeable separately from the Occidental Common Stock. References to
Occidental Common Stock in this Certificate do not include the Rights attached
thereto.
(k) Exclusion of Treasury Shares. Unless otherwise specified, for pur-
poses of this Section 6, the number of CanadianOxy Common Shares at any time
outstanding shall not include any CanadianOxy Common Shares then owned or held
by or for the account of CanadianOxy or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries.
(l) Par Value of Occidental Common Stock. If, as of the close of business
on any day, the quotient obtained by dividing (i) $50 by (ii) the Conversion
Ratio is less than the par value per share of the Occidental Common Stock, the
Share Factor in effect as of the opening of business on the next day shall be
adjusted to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (A) $50 by (B) the product
of (x) the Price Ratio in effect as of such date and (y) the par value per
share of the Occidental Common Stock. The Corporation hereby covenants not to
take any action to increase the par value per share of the Occidental Common
Stock. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Occidental
Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock if, and
only to the extent that, the aggregate par value of the shares of Occidental
Common
17
Stock deliverable upon such conversion would exceed the aggregate par value of
the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock being converted by an amount greater
than the Corporation's surplus.
(m) Other Events. Upon the occurrence of any event not specifically
provided for in this Certificate of Designations that affects the CanadianOxy
Common Shares or the Occidental Common Stock and that the Corporation's Board
of Directors determines in good faith would result in a violation of the
general principle that each share of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be con-
vertible into a number of shares of Occidental Common Stock (or other assets)
having a market value equal to the market price of one CanadianOxy Common Share
multiplied by the Share Factor, or upon the good faith determination by the
Corporation's Board of Directors that such event may occur, the Corporation's
Board of Directors shall be entitled, but will not be required, to make such
adjustment to the terms of conversion, or other provision, as it determines in
its sole discretion to be necessary or desirable in order to implement such
general principle.
7. Voting Rights.
(a) General. The holders of Convertible Preferred Stock will not have any
voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time
required by applicable law. In connection with any right to vote, each holder
of Convertible Preferred Stock will have one vote for each such share held. Any
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Corporation or any subsidiary
of the Corporation shall not have voting rights hereunder and shall not be
counted in determining the presence of a quorum or in calculating any
percentage of shares under this Section 7.
(b) Default Voting Rights. Whenever dividends on the Convertible Prefer-
red Stock shall be in arrears in an aggregate amount equal to at least six full
quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive), (i) the number of members of
the Board of Directors shall be increased by two, effective as of the time of
election of such directors and (ii) the holders of the Convertible Preferred
Stock (voting separately as a class with all other affected classes or series
of preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are
exercisable) will have the exclusive right to vote for and elect such two
additional directors of the Corporation. The right of the holders of the
Convertible Preferred Stock to vote for such two additional directors shall
terminate when all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Convertible Prefer-
red Stock have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. The term of of-
fice of all directors so elected shall terminate immediately upon the termina-
tion of the rights of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and such
other preferred stock to vote for such two additional directors. Each such
director so elected shall serve until the next annual meeting and until his
successor is elected, unless his term of office is terminated earlier as
provided in the preceding sentence.
The foregoing right of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock with
respect to the election of two directors shall be exercisable at the next
annual meeting of stockholders following the default or at any special meeting
of stockholders held for such purpose. If the right to elect directors shall
have accrued to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock more than ninety
days preceding the date established (or, if not yet established, reasonably
expected by the Corporation to be established) for the next annual meeting of
stockholders, the Chairman of the Board of the Corporation or other authorized
officer of the Corporation, if any, shall, within twenty days after the de-
livery to the Corporation at its principal office of a written request for a
special meeting signed by the holders of at least 10% of all outstanding shares
of the Convertible Preferred Stock, call a special meeting of the holders of
the Convertible Preferred Stock and any other holders of preferred stock
entitled to vote thereon to be held within sixty days after the delivery of
such request for the purpose of electing such additional directors.
The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and such other preferred
stock referred to above voting as a class shall have the exclusive right to
remove without cause at any time and replace any directors such holders shall
have elected pursuant to this Section 7.
(c) Class Voting Rights. So long as the Convertible Preferred Stock is
outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent
of the holders of at least 66 2/3% (or such higher percentage, if any, as may
then be required by applicable law) of all outstanding shares of the Convert-
ible Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, (i) amend, alter or repeal
any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, as the
18
same may be amended from time to time, so as to affect adversely the relative
rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the
Convertible Preferred Stock or (ii) create, authorize or issue, or reclassify
any authorized stock of the Corporation into, or increase the authorized amount
of, any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the
Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon Liquidation. A class vote
on the part of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be required (except as
otherwise required by law or resolution of the Board of Directors) in connec-
tion with any other matter, including, without limitation, the authorization,
issuance or increase in the authorized amount of any shares of any class or
series of stock of the Corporation that either (A) ranks junior to, or on a
parity with, the Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon
Liquidation or (B) is, at the time of such increase, undesignated as to ranking
with respect to dividends and upon Liquidation.
8. Ranking. Any class or series of stock of the Corporation shall be
deemed to rank:
(i) prior to the Convertible Preferred Stock, as to dividends or upon
Liquidation, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to
the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon Liquidation, as
the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Convertible
Preferred Stock;
(ii) on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock, as to divi-
dends or upon Liquidation, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend
payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof are
different from those of the Convertible Preferred Stock, if the holders of
such class or series of stock and the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon
Liquidation, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective amounts
of accumulated and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation prices, as
the case may be, without preferences or priority one over the other. For
purposes of this Certificate, the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
shall rank on a parity with the shares of the Corporation's $3.875 Cumula-
tive Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation; or
(iii) junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock, as to dividends or
upon Liquidation, if such stock shall be Common Stock or any other class
or series of capital stock of the Corporation if the holders of Convert-
ible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of
amounts distributable upon Liquidation, as the case may be, in preference
or priority to the holders of shares of such stock. For purposes of this
Certificate, the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the
Corporation shall constitute Junior Preferred Stock.
9. Outstanding Shares. For purposes of this Certificate, all shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall be deemed
outstanding except (i) as provided in Section 5(d), (ii) from the Conversion
Date with respect to such shares, all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
converted into Occidental Common Stock or other securities or assets as pro-
vided herein, and (iii) from the date of registration of transfer, all shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock held of record by the Corporation or any direct
or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
10. Rounding. Unless otherwise specified in this Certificate of
Designations, in any instance in which this Certificate of Designations re-
quires that a mathematical calculation be performed, or makes reference to a
fraction, the result obtained after performing such calculation, and any such
fraction, shall be expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearer 1/1000th,
with .5/1000 rounded upward to 1/1000.
11. Status of Acquired Shares. Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
redeemed by the Corporation, received upon conversion pursuant to Section 6 or
otherwise acquired by the Corporation will be restored to the status of
authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to
class, and may thereafter be issued, but not as shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock.
12. Preemptive Rights. The Convertible Preferred Stock is not entitled to
any preemptive or subscription rights in respect of any securities of the
Corporation.
19
13. Severability of Provisions. Whenever possible, each provision hereof
shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely affect-
ing the remaining provisions hereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Occidental Petroleum Corporation has caused this
Certificate to be made under the seal of the Corporation and signed by Fred J.

The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each

foregoing, the determination of any or all of the following:
(a) the number of shares of any series and the
designation to distinguish the shares of such series
from the shares of all other series;

(f) the provisions, if any, pursuant to which the
shares of such series are convertible into, or

or of any other series of the same or any other class
or classes of stock, or any other security, of the

Directors and shall be stated in a resolution or resolutions
providing for the issuance of such Preferred Stock (a
"Preferred Stock Designation").

be increased or decreased (but not below the number of
shares then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote, with all such holders voting as a single
class.
Each holder of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled
to vote shall have one vote for each share thereof held.
Except as may be provided by the Board of Directors in
a Preferred Stock Designation or by law, the Common Stock
shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of
directors and for all other purposes, and holders of
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive notice of
any meeting of stockholders at which they are not entitled
to vote or consent.
The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the person
in whose name any share of its stock is registered as the
owner thereof, for all purposes, and shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in,
such share on the part of any other person, whether or not
the Corporation shall have notice thereof, except as
expressly provided by applicable law.
THIRD: That the Amendment amends Article IV of the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation only and does not
amend any other article of the Restated Certificate or any
Certificate of Designation heretofore filed with the
Secretary of State.

accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

3. Dividends. (a) Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the
Board of Directors, out of the assets of the Corporation at the
time legally available therefor, (i), in the event that the date
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are first issued (the "Date
of Original Issue") occurs after December 29, 1994, a cash
dividend at an annual rate of $3.875 per share, and no more
(except as provided in clause (ii) of this sentence), which shall
be fully cumulative, shall accumulate without interest from
December 29, 1994 to the Date of Original Issue and shall be
payable in cash on April 1, 1995 (combined with the dividend
payable on such date pursuant to clause (ii) of this sentence)
and (ii) cash dividends at an annual rate of $3.875 per share,
and no more (except as provided in clause (i) of this sentence
with respect to the Initial Dividend Period), which shall be
fully cumulative, shall accumulate without interest from the Date
of Original Issue, and shall be payable, in cash, quarterly in
arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year
(each, a "Dividend Payment Date"), commencing April 1, 1995
(except that, if any such date is a Saturday, Sunday or Legal
Holiday, then such dividend shall be payable on the next day that
is not a Saturday, Sunday or Legal Holiday), in the case of
clause (i) and clause (ii), to holders of record
2
as they appear upon the stock transfer books of the Corporation
at the close of business on such record dates, not more than
sixty days nor less than ten days preceding the related Dividend
Payment Dates, as are fixed by the Board of Directors (each, a
"Record Date"). Subject to Section 3(c), dividends on account of
arrearages for any past Dividend Period may be declared and paid
at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment
Date. Holders at the close of business on a Record Date of
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are called for
redemption on a redemption date during the period (the "Ex-
Dividend Period") between such Record Date and the corresponding
Dividend Payment Date shall not, in their capacity as such, be
entitled to receive the dividend payment on such Dividend Payment
Date.
(b) The dividend payable as set forth in Section 3(a) on
each share of the Convertible Preferred Stock for each full
quarterly Dividend Period during which such share was outstanding
shall be $.96875. For the Initial Dividend Period, and for any
Subsequent Dividend Period during which such share was not
outstanding for a full quarterly Dividend Period, the dividend
payable on each such share of the Convertible Preferred Stock
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months. The aggregate dividend paid to a holder of
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be based on the aggregate
number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by such
holder at the close of business on the applicable record date and
rounded to the nearest whole cent (with one-half cent rounded
upward). Unless otherwise provided herein, dividends on each
share of Convertible Preferred Stock will be cumulative from and
including the Date of Original Issue to and excluding the
earliest to occur of (i) the date of redemption of such share,
(ii) the date of conversion of such share and (iii) the date of
final distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary
(any such event referred to in this clause (iii), a
"Liquidation"). Holders of shares of the Convertible Preferred
Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in
cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends,
or to any interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, in
respect of any dividend payment or payments on shares of the
Convertible Preferred Stock that may be in arrears. Any dividend
payment made on shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall
first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid
dividend with respect to shares of the Convertible Preferred
Stock.
(c) No dividends or other distributions (other than a
dividend or distribution in Common Stock, par value $.20 per
share ("Common Stock"), of the Corporation or any other stock of
the Corporation ranking junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock
as to dividends and upon Liquidation ("Junior Preferred Stock"))
shall be declared, made or paid or set apart for payment or
distribution upon the Common Stock or upon any other stock of the
Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Convertible
Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any
other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity
with the Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon
Liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any
consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a
sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock) by
the Corporation (except by conversion into or in exchange for
Common Stock or Junior Preferred Stock), unless full cumulative
dividends on all outstanding shares of the Convertible Preferred
Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid, or
declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set
apart for the payment thereof, for all Dividend Periods ending on
or prior to the date of such declaration, payment, distribution,
setting apart, making monies available, redemption, purchase or
acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in this
Certificate shall prevent the Corporation from making
contributions to, or purchasing capital stock in connection with,
its employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plans, or from
redeeming rights outstanding under the Rights Agreement, dated as
of October 17, 1986, between the Corporation and the Rights Agent
named therein, as such agreement may be supplemented, amended or
replaced from time to time (the "Rights Agreement"), or any
similar rights (the rights under the Rights Agreement and such
similar rights, collectively, "Rights") and (ii) if at any time
full cumulative dividends have not been declared and paid on the
Convertible Preferred Stock and on any of the Corporation's
preferred stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with the
Convertible Preferred Stock, partial dividends may be declared
and paid on the Convertible Preferred Stock and such other
preferred stock so long as such dividends are declared and paid
pro rata so that the amounts of dividends declared and paid per
share on the Convertible Preferred Stock and such other preferred
stock will in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that
accumulated and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of the
Convertible Preferred Stock and such other preferred stock bear
to each other.
3
(d) Any reference to "distribution" contained in this
Section 3 shall not include any distribution made in connection
with any Liquidation.
4. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any
Liquidation, each holder of a share of Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive, and be paid out of the assets
of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders, a liquidation preference in the amount of $50.00
per share, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such
share to the date of final distribution to the holders of shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock, whether or not declared, without
interest, and no more, before any payment shall be made or any
assets distributed to the holders of Common Stock or any other
class or series of the Corporation's stock ranking junior to the
Convertible Preferred Stock upon such Liquidation. If, upon any
Liquidation the amounts payable with respect to the liquidation
preference of the Convertible Preferred Stock and any other
shares of the Corporation's stock ranking on a parity with the
Convertible Preferred Stock upon such Liquidation are not paid in
full, the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock and of such
other shares will share pro rata in the amounts payable and other
property distributable with respect to such Liquidation so that
the per share amounts to which holders of Convertible Preferred
Stock and such other shares are entitled will in all cases bear
to each other the same ratio that the liquidation preferences of
the Convertible Preferred Stock and such other stock bear to each
other. After payment in full of the preferences in respect of
the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock upon Liquidation,
the holders of such shares in their capacity as such shall not be
entitled to any further right or claim to any remaining assets of
the Corporation. Neither a consolidation or merger of the
Corporation with or into another corporation, nor a merger of any
other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor the sale of
all or substantially all of the Corporation's property or
business (other than in connection with a winding up of its
business) will be considered a Liquidation for purposes of this
Certificate.
5. Redemption at Option of the Corporation. (a) The
Convertible Preferred Stock may not be redeemed by the
Corporation prior to February 18, 1998. On or after February 18,
1998, the Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the
Corporation, at its option on any date set by the Board of
Directors, in whole or from time to time in part, out of funds
legally available therefor, at any time or from time to time, at
the following redemption prices per share, if redeemed during the
12-month period beginning February 18, of the year indicated:
REDEMPTION PRICE
YEAR PER SHARE
------ ----------------
1998 ................................... $51.9375
1999 ................................... 51.5500
2000 ................................... 51.1625
2001 ................................... 50.7750
2002 ................................... 50.3875
2003 and thereafter .................... 50.0000
plus, in each case, an amount in cash equal to all accumulated
and unpaid dividends thereon, if any, whether or not declared, to
but excluding the date fixed for redemption, such sum being
hereinafter referred to as the "Redemption Price." The aggregate
Redemption Price paid to a holder of Convertible Preferred Stock
shall be the product of the aggregate number of shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock redeemed from such holder and the per
share Redemption Price, with such product being rounded to the
nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.
(b) In case of the redemption of less than all of the then
outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the
Corporation shall designate the shares to be redeemed by lot, pro
rata or in such other manner as the Board of Directors may
determine. The Corporation shall not redeem less than all of the
Convertible Preferred Stock at any time outstanding unless all
dividends accumulated and in arrears upon all shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock shall have been paid for all Dividend
Periods ending on or prior to the redemption date.
4
(c) Not more than sixty nor less than thirty days prior to
the redemption date fixed by the Board of Directors, notice by
first class mail, postage prepaid, shall be given to the holders
of record of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock to be
redeemed, addressed to such holders at their last addresses as
shown upon the stock transfer books of the Corporation. Each
such notice of redemption shall specify (i) the date fixed for
redemption, (ii) the number of shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock to be redeemed, and if less than all the shares held by
such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be
redeemed from such holder, (iii) the Redemption Price, (iv) the
place or places of payment, (v) that payment will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the certificates representing
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, (vi) that on and after the
date fixed for redemption dividends will cease to accumulate on
such shares (unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of
the Redemption Price), (vii) the then-effective Conversion Price
and (viii) that the right of holders to convert shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock shall terminate at the close of
business on the date fixed for redemption (unless the Corporation
defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price).
(d) Any notice that is mailed as herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock receives such
notice; and failure to give such notice by mail, or any defect in
such notice to the holders of any shares designated for
redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
the redemption of any other shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock. On or after the date fixed for redemption as stated in
such notice, each holder of the shares called for redemption
shall surrender the certificate evidencing such shares to the
Corporation at a place designated in such notice and shall
thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price
for each such share. If less than all the shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock evidenced by any such surrendered certificate are
redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued evidencing the
unredeemed shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. Notice having
been given as aforesaid, if, on the date fixed for redemption,
funds necessary for the redemption shall be legally available
therefor and shall have been irrevocably deposited or set aside,
then, notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not
have been surrendered, (i) dividends with respect to the shares
so called for redemption shall cease to accumulate on the date
fixed for redemption, (ii) such shares shall no longer be deemed
outstanding, (iii) the holders thereof shall cease to be
stockholders of the Corporation to the extent of their interest
in such shares and (iv) all rights whatsoever with respect to the
shares so called for redemption (except the right of the holders
to receive the Redemption Price for each share, without interest
or any sum of money in lieu of interest thereon, upon surrender
of their certificates therefor at a place designated in such
notice) shall terminate. If funds legally available for such
purpose are not sufficient for redemption of all of the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock that were to be redeemed, then such
funds shall be applied pro rata to the redemption of all of the
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed. If less
than all of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock evidenced
by any certificate are so redeemed, a new certificate shall be
issued evidencing the unredeemed portion of such shares, such
unredeemed shares shall remain outstanding and the rights of
holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock thereafter shall
continue to be only those of a holder of shares of the
Convertible Preferred Stock.
(e) The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be
subject to the operation of any mandatory redemption, purchase,
retirement or sinking fund.
(f) Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no
right to require redemption of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
6. Conversion Privileges.
(a) Rights of Conversion. Each holder of shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such
holder's option, to convert all or a portion of the shares held,
at any time or from time to time prior to the close of business
on the date fixed for redemption of such shares as herein
provided (unless the Corporation shall fail irrevocably to
deposit or set aside the funds sufficient for such redemption),
into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock, or such other securities and property as hereinafter
provided (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th
of a share, with .5/100 rounded upwards), determined by dividing
(i) the product of (x) $50.00 and (y) the aggregate number of
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock being converted at such
time by such holder, by (ii) the Conversion Price. For purposes
of
5
this Certificate "Conversion Price" shall initially mean $22.76
until such Conversion Price is adjusted in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6 and thereafter shall mean the
Conversion Price in effect from time to time as so adjusted. All
adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be rounded to the
nearest whole cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.
(b) Conversion Procedures. Any holder of shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock desiring to convert such shares
pursuant hereto shall surrender the certificate or certificates
evidencing such shares at the office of a transfer agent for the
Convertible Preferred Stock, which certificate or certificates,
if the Corporation shall so require, shall be duly endorsed to
the Corporation or in blank, or accompanied by proper instruments
of transfer to the Corporation or in blank, accompanied by (i) an
irrevocable written notice to the Corporation that the holder
elects to convert such shares and specifying the name or names
(with address or addresses) in which a certificate or
certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock are to be issued,
(ii) if required pursuant to Section 6(f), an amount sufficient
to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Corporation demonstrating that such taxes
have been paid) and (iii) such other payment, if any, required
pursuant to the following paragraph.
Except as provided in Section 3(a), the holder of a share of
Convertible Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Record
Date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable thereon on
the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the
conversion thereof during the Ex-Dividend Period or the
Corporation's default in the payment of the dividend due on such
Dividend Payment Date; provided, that, unless such share has been
called for redemption on a redemption date during the Ex-Dividend
Period, a share of Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered for
conversion during the Ex-Dividend Period must be accompanied by
payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such share
on such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided for above, no
payments or adjustments in respect of dividends on shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion (whether
or not in arrears) or on account of any dividend on the Common
Stock issued upon conversion shall be made upon the conversion of
any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such
surrender for conversion of certificates evidencing shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock and compliance with the other
conditions herein contained, deliver at such offices of such
transfer agent to the person for whom such shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock are so surrendered, or to the nominee or nominees
of such person, certificates evidencing the number of full shares
of Common Stock to which such person shall be entitled, together
with a cash payment in respect of any fraction of a share of
Common Stock as hereinafter provided. Subject to the following
provisions of this paragraph, each conversion shall be deemed to
have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on
the date on which the certificates for shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock to be converted shall have been surrendered
together with the irrevocable written notice, the payment of
taxes (if applicable), and an amount equal to the dividend
payable (if applicable), all as provided in the first two
paragraphs of this Section 6(b), and the person or persons
entitled to receive the Common Stock deliverable upon conversion
of such Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated for all
purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at
such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the
Corporation shall be closed on such date, in which event such
person or persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or
holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding
day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such
conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date
on which such shares shall have been surrendered and the other
conditions specified above have been satisfied.
(c) Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) If the Corporation shall fix a Determination Date
with respect to the payment or making of a dividend or other
distribution on its Common Stock exclusively in Common
Stock, the Conversion Price in effect as of the opening of
business on the day following the Determination Date shall
be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a
fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business
on the Determination Date and (B) the denominator of which
shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total
number of shares constituting such dividend or other
distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so
paid or made,
6
the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the
Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such
Determination Date had not been fixed.
(ii) If the Corporation shall fix a Determination Date
with respect to the making of a dividend or other
distribution on its Common Stock consisting exclusively of
rights or warrants entitling the holders thereof to
subscribe for or purchase, during a period not exceeding
45 days from the date of such dividend or other
distribution, shares of Common Stock at a price per share
less than the Current Market Price per share of the Common
Stock on the Determination Date, the Conversion Price in
effect as of the opening of business on the day following
the Determination Date shall be reduced by multiplying such
Conversion Price by a fraction (A) the numerator of which
shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at the close of business on the Determination
Date plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock that the
aggregate maximum offering price of the total number of
shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or
purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of
business on the Determination Date plus (y) the number of
shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or
purchase. To the extent such rights or warrants expire and,
as a result, shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
thereof will not be delivered, the Conversion Price shall be
readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in
effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such
rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of
only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued
upon exercise thereof. If such rights or warrants are not
so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to
be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such
Determination Date had not been fixed.
(iii) If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock
or combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on
the day following the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective shall be proportionately
reduced or increased, respectively, effective immediately
after the opening of business on the day following the day
upon which such subdivision or combination becomes
effective.
(iv) If the Corporation shall fix a Determination Date
with respect to the making of a dividend or other
distribution on its Common Stock (other than a dividend or
distribution (A) referred to in Section 6(c)(i) or (ii), or
(B) in connection with a Liquidation) consisting of
evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of
capital stock or other assets (including securities and
Extraordinary Cash Dividends, but excluding Regular Cash
Dividends) (any of the foregoing, other than any such
excluded dividend or distribution, being hereinafter
referred to as "Assets"), then, in each such case, unless
the Corporation elects to reserve Assets for distribution to
the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock upon the
conversion thereof so that any holder converting shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock will receive upon such
conversion, in addition to the shares of the Common Stock to
which such holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such
Assets that such holder would have received if such holder
had, immediately prior to the Determination Date, converted
its shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock,
the Conversion Price in effect as of the opening of business
on the day following the Determination Date shall be reduced
by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction (x) the
numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per
share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date less the
fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors,
whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a
resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Determination
Date of the portion of the Assets so distributed applicable
to one share of Common Stock and (y) the denominator of
which shall be such Current Market Price per share of the
Common Stock on the Determination Date; provided however,
that in the event the then fair market value (as so
determined) of the portion of the Assets so distributed or
distributable applicable to one share of Common Stock is
equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share
of the Common Stock on the Determination Date, in lieu of
the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made
so that each holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount
and kind of such Assets that such holder would have received
if such holder had, immediately prior to the Determination
Date, converted its shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
into Common Stock.
7
If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the
Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the
Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such
Determination Date had not been fixed. If such Assets
consist of any rights or warrants (other than those referred
to in Section 6(c)(ii)) and such rights or warrants expire
and, as a result, a portion of the Assets issuable on
exercise thereof will not be delivered, the Conversion Price
shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then
be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of
such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery
of only the Assets actually delivered. To the extent that a
distribution of Assets consists of or includes
(x) securities and the Board of Directors determines the
fair market value thereof by reference to the trading market
therefor, the Board of Directors shall, if possible,
consider the Closing Price of such securities over the same
period and (if appropriate) applying adjustments of the type
used in computing the applicable Current Market Price or
(y) an Extraordinary Cash Dividend, the fair market value
thereof shall be deemed to be the amount of cash
constituting such Extraordinary Cash Dividend.
(v) In addition to any other adjustment required
hereby, to the extent permitted by law, the Corporation from
time to time may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount,
permanently or for any period of time of at least twenty
days (excluding Legal Holidays), if the reduction is
irrevocable during the period. Whenever the Conversion
Price is reduced pursuant to this Section 6(c)(v), the
Corporation shall mail to holders of record of the
Convertible Preferred Stock a notice of the reduction at
least fifteen days prior to the date the reduced Conversion
Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the reduced
Conversion Price and, if applicable, the period it will be
in effect.
(vi) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price; provided,
however, that any adjustments which by reason of this
subparagraph (vi) are not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in determining
whether any subsequent adjustment shall be required.
(vii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 6, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall
reduce the Conversion Price below the then par value per
share of the Common Stock, and any such purported adjustment
shall instead reduce the Conversion Price to such par value.
The Corporation hereby covenants not to take any action to
increase the par value per share of the Common Stock.
(viii) When the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein
provided:
(1) the Corporation shall compute the adjusted
Conversion Price and shall prepare a certificate signed
by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the
Corporation setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price
and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which
such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall
forthwith be filed with the transfer agent for the
Convertible Preferred Stock; and
(2) a notice stating that the Conversion Price has
been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion
Price shall as soon as practicable be mailed by the
Corporation to all record holders of shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock at their last addresses as
they shall appear upon the stock transfer books of the
Corporation.
(ix) In any case in which this subparagraph (c)
provides that an adjustment shall become effective as of the
opening of business on the day following a Determination
Date, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of the
event for which such Determination Date shall have been
fixed (A) issuing to the holder of any share of Convertible
Preferred Stock converted after such Determination Date and
before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the
adjustment required by such event over and above the Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to
such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount in
cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock
pursuant to Section 6(d).
(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued
upon conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock. If a certificate
or certificates representing more than one share of Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time
by the same record holder, the number of full shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the
basis of the aggregate number of shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock so surrendered by such record holder as provided in Section
6(a). In lieu of any fractional share of Common
8
Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay
a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional share in an
amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price of the
Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of
conversion, calculated to the nearest cent, with one-half cent
rounded upward.
(e) Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. If a
Fundamental Change occurs, then lawful provision shall be made as
part of the terms of such transaction whereby the holder of each
share of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have
the right thereafter, to convert such share only into:
(1) in the case of a Non-Stock Fundamental Change and
subject to funds being legally available for such purpose
under applicable law at the time of such conversion, the
kind and amount of securities, cash or other property
receivable upon such Non-Stock Fundamental Change by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such share of Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible
immediately prior to such Non-Stock Fundamental Change,
after giving effect to any adjustment in the Conversion
Price required by the provisions of Section 6(h), and
(2) in the case of a Common Stock Fundamental Change,
common stock of the kind received by holders of Common Stock
as a result of such Common Stock Fundamental Change, at the
Conversion Price, after giving effect to any adjustment
therein required by the provisions of Section 6(h).
The Corporation or the person formed by a consolidation or
resulting from a merger that constitutes a Fundamental Change or
which acquires the Corporation's shares in any transaction that
constitutes a Fundamental Change shall make provisions in its
certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent
document to establish the right set forth above. Such
certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent
document shall provide for adjustments in the Conversion Price
which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such
provisions, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.
(f) Reservation of Shares; Transfer Taxes, Etc. The
Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of
its authorized and unissued stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, such
number of shares of its Common Stock (and associated Rights, if
any) free of preemptive rights as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding. The Corporation
shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State
of Delaware, use its best efforts to increase the authorized
number of shares of Common Stock (and associated Rights, if any)
if at any time the number of shares of authorized and unissued
Common Stock (and associated Rights, if any) shall not be
sufficient to permit the conversion of all the then outstanding
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. If the delivery of Common
Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock requires
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under
the laws of any United States jurisdiction, the Corporation will
in good faith and as expeditiously as possible use commercially
reasonable efforts to make such registration or obtain such
approval, and shall not be required to deliver shares of Common
Stock upon conversion until such registration is made or such
approval is obtained. In addition, the Corporation shall not be
required to deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion if, in
the opinion of its counsel, such delivery would violate the laws
of any jurisdiction outside the United States.
The Corporation shall pay any and all issue or other taxes
that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares
of Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred
Stock. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay
any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issue or delivery of Common Stock (or other securities or
assets) in a name other than that in which the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no
such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person
requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the amount of
such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the
Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
(g) Prior Notice of Certain Events. In case:
(i) the Corporation shall (A) declare any dividend or
any other distribution on its Common Stock (other than (x) a
dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common
Stock, (y) a Regular Cash Dividend or (z) a dividend or
other distribution of Rights that at the time are not
exercisable or tradeable separately from the Common Stock),
(B) declare or authorize a redemption or repurchase of in
excess of
9
10% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (C)
authorize the granting to all holders of Common Stock of
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares
of stock of any class or of any other rights or warrants
(other than Rights); or
(ii) of any reclassification of Common Stock (other
than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common
Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value), or of any
consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party
and for which approval of any stockholders of the
Corporation shall be required, or of any compulsory share
exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or other property; or
(iii) of a Liquidation;
then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the
transfer agent for, and mailed to the holders of record of,
the Convertible Preferred Stock, at their last addresses as
they shall appear upon the stock transfer books of the
Corporation, at least fifteen days prior to the applicable
record date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the
date on which a record (if any) is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption,
repurchase or granting of rights or warrants or, if a record
is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend,
distribution, redemption, repurchase, rights or warrants are
to be determined or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange or
Liquidation is expected to become effective, and the date,
if any, as of which it is expected that holders of record of
Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of
Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable
upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share
exchange or Liquidation (but no failure to mail such notice
or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect
the validity of the corporate action required to be
specified in such notice).
(h) Adjustments in Case of Fundamental Changes.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 6 to the
contrary, if any Fundamental Change occurs, then the Conversion
Price in effect will be adjusted immediately after such
Fundamental Change (which shall be deemed to occur on the earlier
of (i) the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and (ii) the
Determination Date related to such Fundamental Change) as
described below.
In the case of a Non-Stock Fundamental Change, the
Conversion Price immediately following such Fundamental Change
shall become the lower of (A) the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such Fundamental Change (after giving effect
to any other adjustments pursuant to this Section 6 made prior to
such Fundamental Change), and (B) the product of (1) the greater
of the Applicable Price and the then applicable Reference Market
Price and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be $50.00
and the denominator of which shall be the then current Redemption
Price per share of Convertible Preferred Stock if the redemption
date were the date of such Non-Stock Fundamental Change (such
denominator being (x) the applicable Redemption Price (including
accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared) set
forth in Section 5 hereof, or (y) for Non-Stock Fundamental
Changes occurring during the twelve-month periods commencing
February 18, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997, $53.4875, $53.1000,
$52.7125, and $52.3250, respectively, together with any
accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not
declared, to but excluding the date of such Non-Stock Fundamental
Change).
In the case of a Common Stock Fundamental Change, the
Conversion Price immediately following such Fundamental Change
shall be the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
Fundamental Change (after giving effect to any other adjustments
pursuant to this Section 6 made prior to such Fundamental Change)
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Purchaser
Stock Price and the denominator of which is the Applicable Price;
provided, however, that, in the event of a Common Stock
Fundamental Change in which (A) 100% by value of the
consideration received by a holder of Common Stock is common
stock of the successor, acquiror or other third party (and cash,
if any, paid with respect to any fractional interests in such
common stock resulting from such Common Stock Fundamental Change)
and (B) all of the Common Stock shall have been exchanged for,
converted into or acquired for, common stock of such successor,
acquiror or other third party (and cash, if any, with respect to
fractional interests), the Conversion Price immediately following
such Common Stock Fundamental Change shall be the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior
10
to such Common Stock Fundamental Change divided by the number of
shares of common stock of such successor, acquiror, or other
third party received by a holder of one share of Common Stock as
a result of such Fundamental Change.
(i) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to
terms used in this Section 6:
(1) "Applicable Price" shall mean (i) in the event of a
Non-Stock Fundamental Change in which the holders of the
Common Stock receive only cash, the amount of cash received
by the holder of one share of Common Stock and (ii) in the
event of any other Fundamental Change, the average of the
Closing Prices for one share of Common Stock during the ten
Trading Days immediately prior to the record date for the
determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to
receive cash, securities, property or other assets in
connection with such Fundamental Change or, if there is no
such record date, prior to the date upon which the holders
of the Common Stock shall have the right to receive such
cash, securities, property or other assets. The Closing
Price on any Trading Day may be subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 6(i)(4).
(2) "Closing Price" with respect to any security on any
day shall mean the closing sale price, regular way, on such
day or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the
average of the reported closing bid and asked prices,
regular way, in each case on the NYSE or, if such security
is not listed or admitted to trading on the NYSE, on the
principal national securities exchange or quotation system
on which such security is quoted or listed or admitted to
trading or, if not quoted or listed or admitted to trading
on any national securities exchange or quotation system, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices of such security
on the over-the-counter market on the day in question as
reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or a
similar generally accepted reporting service, or if not so
available, in such manner as furnished by any NYSE member
firm selected from time to time by the Board of Directors
for that purpose or a price determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors (such determination to be conclusive and
evidenced in a resolution adopted by the Board of
Directors).
(3) "Common Stock Fundamental Change" shall mean any
Fundamental Change in which more than 50% of the value (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (such
determination to be conclusive and evidenced in a resolution
adopted by the Board of Directors)) of the consideration
received by the holders of Common Stock pursuant to such
transaction consists of common stock that, for the ten
consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such
Fundamental Change, has been admitted for listing or
admitted for listing subject to notice of issuance on a
national securities exchange or quoted on the National
Market System of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ NMS");
provided, however, that a Fundamental Change shall not be a
Common Stock Fundamental Change unless either (i) the
Corporation continues to exist after the occurrence of such
Fundamental Change and the outstanding shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock continue to exist as outstanding shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock, or (ii) not later than the
occurrence of such Fundamental Change, the outstanding
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are converted into or
exchanged for shares of convertible preferred stock of a
corporation succeeding, directly or indirectly, to the
business of the Corporation, which convertible preferred
stock has powers, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other rights, and qualifications, limitations
and restrictions, substantially similar to those of the
Convertible Preferred Stock.
(4) "Current Market Price" per share of Common Stock on
any date (the "Specified Date") shall be deemed to be the
average of the daily Closing Prices with respect to the
Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days ending on
the Specified Date (or, if the Specified Date is not a
Trading Day, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
Specified Date); provided, however, that, if the Current
Market Price is being calculated with respect to an event
(the "Specified Event") requiring calculation pursuant to
Section 6(c)(ii) or 6(c)(iv) and (A) the Ex-Date for any
event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price
pursuant to Section 6(c)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) or Section
6(h) other than the Specified Event (an "Other Event")
occurs during such ten consecutive Trading Days and prior to
the Ex-Date for the Specified Event, the Closing Price for
each Trading Day prior to the Ex-Date for such Other Event
shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the
same fraction by which the
11
Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result
of such Other Event, (B) the Ex-Date for any Other Event
occurs during such ten consecutive Trading Days and on or
after the Ex-Date for the Specified Event, the Closing Price
for each Trading Day on and after the Ex-Date for such Other
Event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by
the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price
is so required to be adjusted as a result of such Other
Event (provided that, if such fraction is required to be
determined at any date by reference to events taking place
subsequent to the Specified Date, the Board of Directors,
whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a
resolution of the Board of Directors, shall estimate such
fraction based on assumptions it deems reasonable regarding
such events taking place subsequent to the Specified Date,
and such estimated fraction shall be used for purposes of
such adjustment until such time as the actual fraction by
which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as
a result of such Other Event is determined), and (C) the Ex-
Date for the Specified Event is on or prior to the Specified
Date, after taking into account any adjustment required
pursuant to clause (A) or (B) of this proviso, the Closing
Price for each Trading Day on or after such Ex-Date shall be
adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the
fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors
in a manner consistent with any determination of such value
for purposes of Section 6(c)(iv), whose determination shall
be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of
Directors) of the securities or other assets being
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock as of
the close of business on the day before such Ex-Date.
(5) "Determination Date" shall mean, with respect to
any dividend or other distribution, the date fixed for the
determination of the holders of shares of Common Stock
entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, or if a
dividend or distribution is paid or made without fixing such
a date, the date of such dividend or distribution.
(6) "Ex-Date" shall mean (i) when used with respect to
any dividend, distribution or Fundamental Change, the first
date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the
relevant exchange or in the relevant market without the
right to receive such dividend or distribution, or the cash,
securities, property or other assets distributable in such
Fundamental Change to holders of the Common Stock, and
(ii) when used with respect to any subdivision or
combination of shares of Common Stock, the first date on
which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange
or in such market after the time at which such subdivision
or combination becomes effective.
(7) "Extraordinary Cash Dividend" shall mean, with
respect to any cash dividend or cash distribution (other
than a dividend or distribution in connection with a
Liquidation) on the Common Stock (the "Specified Dividend"),
an amount determined pursuant to the following sentence.
If, upon the date prior to the date of the declaration (the
"Declaration Date") with respect to the Specified Dividend,
the aggregate per share amount of the Specified Dividend,
together with the aggregate per share amounts of all cash
dividends and cash distributions on the Common Stock with Ex-
Dates occurring in the 360 consecutive day period ending on
the date prior to the Ex-Date with respect to the Specified
Dividend, exceeds 15% of the Current Market Price of the
Common Stock on the Trading Day prior to the Declaration
Date with respect to the Specified Dividend, such excess
shall be deemed to be an Extraordinary Cash Dividend.
(8) "Fundamental Change" shall mean the occurrence of
any transaction or event pursuant to which all or
substantially all of the Common Stock is exchanged for,
converted into, or acquired for, or constitutes solely the
right to receive, cash, securities, property or other assets
(whether by means of an exchange offer, liquidation, tender
offer, consolidation, merger, combination, reclassification,
recapitalization or otherwise); provided, however, that
(A) in the case of any plan involving more than one such
transaction or event, for purposes of adjustment of the
Conversion Price, such Fundamental Change shall be deemed to
have occurred when substantially all of the Common Stock has
been exchanged for, converted into, or acquired for, or
constitutes solely the right to receive, cash, securities,
property or other assets, but the adjustment shall be based
upon the consideration that the holders of Common Stock
received in such transaction or event as a result of which
more than 50% of the Common Stock of the Corporation was
exchanged for, converted into, or acquired for, or
constituted solely the right to receive, cash, securities,
property or other assets; and (B) such term does not include
(i) a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value, or a subdivision
or combination of the
12
Common Stock or (ii) for all purposes hereof (other than
Section 6(e) and any defined terms when used therein),
(x) any such transaction or event in which the Corporation
and/or any of its subsidiaries are the issuers of all the
cash, securities, property or other assets exchanged,
acquired or otherwise issued in such transaction or event,
or (y) any such transaction or event in which the holders of
Common Stock receive securities of an issuer other than the
Corporation if, immediately following such transaction or
event, such holders hold a majority of the securities having
the power to vote normally in the election of directors (or
persons holding an equivalent position) of such other issuer
outstanding immediately following such transaction or other
event.
(9) "Non-Stock Fundamental Change" shall mean any
Fundamental Change other than a Common Stock Fundamental
Change.
(10) "Purchaser Stock Price" shall mean, with respect
to any Common Stock Fundamental Change, the average of the
Closing Prices for one share of the common stock received by
holders of Common Stock in such Common Stock Fundamental
Change during the ten Trading Days immediately prior to the
record date for the determination of the holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive such common stock, or if there is
no such record date, prior to the date upon which the
holders of the Common Stock shall have the right to receive
such common stock.
(11) "Reference Market Price" shall initially mean
$12.33, and, in the event of any adjustment to the
Conversion Price other than as a result of a Fundamental
Change, the Reference Market Price shall be adjusted (with
one-half cent rounded upward) so that the ratio of the
Reference Market Price to the Conversion Price after giving
effect to any such adjustment shall always be equal to
0.5417.
(12) "Regular Cash Dividend" means any cash dividend or
cash distribution with respect to the Common Stock other
than an Extraordinary Cash Dividend.
(13) "Trading Day" shall mean (x) if the applicable
security is listed or admitted for trading on the NYSE or
another national securities exchange, a day on which the
NYSE or such other national securities exchange is open for
business or (y) if the applicable security is quoted on the
NASDAQ NMS, a day on which a trade may be made on the NASDAQ
NMS or (z) if the applicable security is not otherwise
listed, admitted for trading or quoted, any day other than a
Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in
the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to close.
(j) Dividend or Interest Reinvestment Plans; Other.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, (i) the issuance of any
shares of Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the
reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of
the Corporation and the investment of additional optional amounts
in shares of Common Stock under any such plan, (ii) the issuance
of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase
such shares pursuant to any employee benefit plan or similar
program of the Corporation, (iii) the issuance of any shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of any other option, warrant, right or
exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security of the
Corporation (it being understood that the provisions of this
clause (iii) shall not prevent an adjustment to the Conversion
Price otherwise required hereunder, if any, upon the issuance, or
the Determination Date relating to the issuance, of such other
option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or
convertible security), and (iv) subject to Section 6(k) below,
any issuance of Rights that at the time of original issuance are
not exercisable or tradeable separately from the Common Stock but
may become exercisable or separately tradeable upon terms and
conditions set forth or similar to those set forth in the Rights
Agreement, shall not be deemed to constitute an issuance of
Common Stock or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible
securities by the Corporation to which any of the adjustment
provisions described above applies. There shall also be no
adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any
stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock)
of the Corporation except as specifically described in this
Section 6. Except as expressly set forth above, if any action
would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more
than one of the provisions described above, only one adjustment
shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of
adjustment which has the highest value to the holders of the
Convertible Preferred Stock (as determined by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive).
13
(k) Rights. So long as Rights are attached to the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, each share of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of the shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock prior to the earliest of any Distribution Date (as defined
below), the date of redemption of the Rights or the date of
expiration of the Rights shall be issued with Rights in a number
equal to the number of Rights then attached to each outstanding
share of Common Stock.
If a Distribution Date shall occur, then for purposes of
Section 6(c)(iv) (and no other purpose), a distribution of all
Rights then outstanding shall be deemed to occur on such date,
which shall be deemed the Determination Date with respect to such
distribution. For purposes of such Section, a redemption of such
Rights shall be deemed an expiration thereof, except that the
portion of the Assets that were not delivered as a result of the
expiration of such Rights shall be reduced by the aggregate
amount paid in redemption of such Rights. If the Corporation
does not elect to reserve Rights for distribution to the holders
of the Convertible Preferred Stock upon the conversion thereof
after such Distribution Date in accordance with Section 6(c)(iv),
the adjustments required pursuant to such Section shall be deemed
an appropriate adjustment for purposes of Section 3(e) of the
Rights Agreement or any similar provision relating to Rights.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no adjustment in the
Conversion Price shall be made on account of any exercise of
Rights. References to Common Stock in this Certificate do not
include the Rights attached thereto.
As used herein, the term "Distribution Date" shall have the
meaning given thereto in the Rights Agreement or, if such term is
not defined therein, shall mean the first date upon which Rights
become exercisable or tradeable separately from the Common Stock.
(l) Exclusion of Treasury Shares. For purposes of this
Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include any shares of Common Stock then
owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any of
its majority-owned subsidiaries.
7. Voting Rights.
(a) General. The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock
(voting separately as a class with the Common Stock and all other
classes or series of preferred stock upon which like voting
rights have been conferred) will have the right to vote for the
election of directors and for all other purposes. The holders of
Convertible Preferred Stock will have the additional voting
rights set forth below and as otherwise from time to time
required by applicable law. In connection with any right to
vote, each holder of Convertible Preferred Stock will have one
vote for each such share held. Any shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock held by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the
Corporation shall not have voting rights hereunder and shall not
be counted in determining the presence of a quorum or in
calculating any percentage of shares under this Section 7.
(b) Default Voting Rights. Whenever dividends on the
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an aggregate
amount equal to at least six full quarterly dividends (whether or
not consecutive), (i) the number of members of the Board of
Directors shall be increased by two, effective as of the time of
election of such directors and (ii) the holders of the
Convertible Preferred Stock (voting separately as a class with
all other affected classes or series of preferred stock upon
which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable)
will have the exclusive right to vote for and elect such two
additional directors of the Corporation. The right of the
holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock to vote for such two
additional directors shall be in addition to any other voting
rights which such holders may have and shall terminate when all
accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Convertible Preferred
Stock have been declared and paid or set apart for payment. The
term of office of all directors so elected shall terminate
immediately upon the termination of the rights of the holders of
the Convertible Preferred Stock and such other preferred stock to
vote for such two additional directors. Each such director so
elected shall serve until the next annual meeting and until his
successor is elected, unless his term of office is terminated
earlier as provided in the preceding sentence.
The foregoing right of the holders of the Convertible
Preferred Stock with respect to the election of two directors
shall be exercisable at the next annual meeting of stockholders
following the default or at any special meeting of stockholders
held for such purpose. If the right to elect directors shall
have accrued to the holders
14
of the Convertible Preferred Stock more than ninety days
preceding the date established (or, if not yet established,
reasonably expected by the Corporation to be established) for the
next annual meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board of
the Corporation or other authorized officer of the Corporation,
if any, shall, within twenty days after the delivery to the
Corporation at its principal office of a written request for a
special meeting signed by the holders of at least 10% of all
outstanding shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock, call a
special meeting of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock
and any other holders of preferred stock entitled to vote thereon
to be held within sixty days after the delivery of such request
for the purpose of electing such additional directors.
The holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and such
other preferred stock referred to above voting as a class shall
have the exclusive right to remove without cause at any time and
replace any directors such holders shall have elected pursuant to
this Section 7.
(c) Class Voting Rights. So long as the Convertible
Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall not,
without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at
least 66-2/3% (or such higher percentage, if any, as may then be
required by applicable law) of all outstanding shares of the
Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class,
(i) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time, so
as to affect adversely the relative rights, preferences,
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Convertible
Preferred Stock or (ii) create, authorize or issue, or reclassify
any authorized stock of the Corporation into, or increase the
authorized amount of, any class or series of stock of the
Corporation ranking senior to the Convertible Preferred Stock as
to dividends or upon Liquidation. A class vote on the part of
the Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be required (except as
otherwise required by law or resolution of the Board of
Directors) in connection with any other matter, including,
without limitation, the authorization, issuance or increase in
the authorized amount of any shares of any class or series of
stock of the Corporation that either (A) ranks junior to, or on a
parity with, the Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends and
upon Liquidation or (B) is, at the time of such increase,
undesignated as to ranking with respect to dividends and upon
Liquidation.
8. Ranking. Any class or series of stock of the
Corporation shall be deemed to rank:
(i) prior to the Convertible Preferred Stock, as to
dividends or upon Liquidation, if the holders of such class
or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or
of amounts distributable upon Liquidation, as the case may
be, in preference or priority to the holders of Convertible
Preferred Stock.
(ii) on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock,
as to dividends or upon Liquidation, whether or not the
dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or
liquidation prices per share thereof are different from
those of the Convertible Preferred Stock, if the holders of
such class or series of stock and the Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of
amounts distributable upon Liquidation, as the case may be,
in proportion to their respective amounts of accumulated and
unpaid dividends per share or liquidation prices, as the
case may be, without preferences or priority one over the
other. For purposes of this Certificate, the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock shall rank on a parity with the
shares of the Corporation's $3.875 Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock and the Corporation's $3.00 Cumulative
CXY-Indexed Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends and
upon liquidation.
(iii) junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock, as to
dividends or upon Liquidation, if such stock shall be Common
Stock or any other class or series of capital stock of the
Corporation if the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts
distributable upon Liquidation, as the case may be, in
preference or priority to the holders of shares of such
stock. For purposes of this Certificate, the Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Corporation
shall constitute Junior Preferred Stock.
9. Outstanding Shares. For purposes of this Certificate,
all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issued by the
Corporation shall be deemed outstanding except (i) as provided in
Section 5(d), (ii) from the date of surrender of a certificate
evidencing shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, all shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such certificate and
converted into Common Stock and (iii) from the date of
registration
15
of transfer, all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held of
record by the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-
owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
10. Status of Acquired Shares. Shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock redeemed by the Corporation, received upon
conversion pursuant to Section 6 or otherwise acquired by the
Corporation will be restored to the status of authorized but
unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to
class, and may thereafter be issued, but not as shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock.
11. Preemptive Rights. The Convertible Preferred Stock is
not entitled to any preemptive or subscription rights in respect
of any securities of the Corporation.
12. Severability of Provisions. Whenever possible, each
provision hereof shall be interpreted in a manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of
such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise
adversely affecting the remaining provisions hereof.

the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise
properly brought before the Annual Meeting by or at the

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for

thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To
be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or
mailed to and received at the principal executive offices of
the Corporation, not less than fifty days nor more than
seventy-five days prior to the Annual Meeting; provided,
however, that in the event that less than sixty days' notice
or prior public disclosure of the date of the Annual Meeting
is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder
to be timely must be so received not later than the close of
business on the tenth day following the day on which such
notice of the date of the Annual Meeting was mailed or such

Notwithstanding anything in the By-laws to the

stockholder of any business properly brought before the

The Chairman of an Annual Meeting shall, if the facts
warrant, determine and declare to the Annual Meeting that
business was not properly brought before the Annual Meeting

law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a

entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented
by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the
stockholders for the transaction of business. If, however,
such quorum shall not be present or represented at any
meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to
vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy,
shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time,
without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until
a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned
meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented,
any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If the
adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the
adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned
meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to
each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting.
SECTION 5. Voting. Unless otherwise required by law,
the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, any
question brought before any meeting of stockholders shall be
decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
present in person or by proxy at the meeting for the
purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such
meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation, each stockholder represented at a meeting of
stockholders shall be entitled to cast one vote for each
share of the capital stock entitled to vote thereat held by
such stockholder. Such votes may be cast in person or by
proxy but no proxy shall be voted on or after three years
from its date, unless such proxy provides for a longer
period. No vote at any meeting of stockholders need be by
written ballot unless the Board of Directors, in its
discretion, or the officer of the Corporation presiding at
the meeting, in his discretion, specifically directs the use
of a written ballot.
SECTION 6. List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The

the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of
at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place
within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place
shall be
-2-
specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so
specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.
The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and
place of the meeting during the whole time
thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder of the
Corporation who is present.
SECTION 7. Stock Ledger. The stock ledger of the
Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the

required by Section 6 of this Article II or the books of the
Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting
of stockholders.
SECTION 8. Voting Procedures and Inspectors of

the meeting and make a written report thereof. The
corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate
inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no
inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of
stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall

inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties,
shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties
of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the

of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or
retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in
the performance of the duties of the inspectors.
The date and time of the opening and the closing of the
polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote
at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting.
ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS
SECTION 1. Number and Election of Directors. Subject
to the rights, if any, of holders of preferred stock issued
by the Corporation to elect directors of the Corporation,
the Board of Directors shall consist of thirteen (13)
directors, until changed within the limits set forth in the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation by amendment of these
By-laws or by resolution duly adopted by the Board of
Directors from time to time. Except as provided in Section
2 of this Article III, directors shall be elected by a
plurality of the votes cast at Annual Meetings of
Stockholders, and each director so elected shall hold office
until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until
his earlier resignation or removal. No person shall be
eligible for election as a director of the Corporation who
shall have reached the age of seventy-two (72) at the date
of such election; provided, however, that any person serving
as a director of the Corporation on December 15, 1994, who
shall have reached the age of seventy-two at such date,
shall be eligible for re-election as a director of the
Corporation once, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
occurring upon the expiration of the term of office such
director was serving at December 15, 1994. Any director may
resign at any time effective upon giving written notice to
the Corporation, unless the notice specifies a later time
for such resignation to become effective. If the
resignation of a director is effective at a future time, the
Board of Directors may elect a successor prior to such
effective time to take office when such resignation becomes
effective. Directors need not be stockholders.
SECTION 2. Nominations of Directors. Only persons who
are nominated in accordance with the following procedures
shall be eligible for election as directors. Nominations of
persons for election to the Board of Directors of the
Corporation at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders may be
made at such meeting by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors by any nominating committee or person appointed by
the Board of Directors or by any stockholder of the
Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors
at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set
forth in this Section 2. Such
-3-
nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of
the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely
notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To
be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to or
mailed and received at the principal executive offices of
the Corporation not less than fifty days nor more than
seventy-five days prior to the meeting; provided, however,
that in the event that less than sixty days notice or prior
public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or
made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely
must be so received not later than the close of business on
the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the
date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was
made, whichever first occurs. Such stockholder's notice to
the Secretary shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the
stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election
as a director, (i) the name, age, business address and
residence address of the person, (ii) principal occupation
or employment of the person, (iii) the class and number of
shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are
beneficially owned by the person, (iv) any other information
relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in
solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant
to the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission under Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and (v) the written consent of the
person to serve as a director, if elected; and (b) as to the
stockholder giving the notice, (i) the name and record
address of such stockholder, and (ii) the class, series and
number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which
are beneficially owned by the stockholder. The Corporation
may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other
information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation
to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to
serve as a director of the Corporation. No person shall be
eligible for election as a director of the Corporation
unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth
herein.
The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts
warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a
nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing
procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so
declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be
disregarded.
SECTION 3. Vacancies. Any newly created directorship
resulting from an increase in the number of directors may be
filled by a majority of the Board of Directors then in
office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other
vacancy on the Board of Directors may be filled by a
majority of directors then in office, though less than a
quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director
elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from
an increase in any class of directors shall hold office for
a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the
other directors of that class. Any director elected to fill
a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of
directors shall have the same term as the remaining term of
his predecessor.
SECTION 4. Duties and Powers. The business of the
Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of
the Board of Directors which may exercise all such powers of
the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as
are not by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or
by these By-laws directed or required to be exercised or
done by the stockholders.
SECTION 5. Meetings. The Board of Directors of the
Corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special,
either within or without the State of Delaware. Regular
meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without
notice at such time and at such place as may from time to
time be determined by the Board of Directors. Special
meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the
Chairman, if there be one, the President, or any three
directors. Notice thereof stating the place, date and hour
of the meeting shall be given to each director either by
mail not less than forty-eight hours before the date of the
meeting, by telephone, telegram or telecopy on twenty-four
hours notice, or on such shorter notice as the person or
persons calling such meeting may deem necessary or
appropriate in the circumstances.
SECTION 6. Quorum. Except as may be otherwise
specifically provided by law, at all meetings of the Board
of Directors or of any committee thereof, a majority of the
members of the entire Board of Directors or of the said
committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business; and the act of a majority of the directors or
members of the committee present at any meeting at which
there is a quorum
-4-
shall be the act of the Board of Directors or of the said
committee, as the case may be. A meeting at which a quorum
is initially present may continue to transact business
notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors or members of
the committee if any action taken is approved by at least a
majority of the required quorum for that meeting. If a
quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of
Directors or of any committee thereof, the directors or
members of the committee present thereat may adjourn the
meeting from time to time, without notice other than
announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be
present.
SECTION 7. Actions of Board. Any action required or
permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of
Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a
meeting, if all the members of the Board of Directors or
committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing,
and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of
proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.
SECTION 8. Meetings by Means of Conference Telephone.
Members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or any
committee designated by the Board of Directors, may
participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such
committee by means of a conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other, and
participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 8 shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.
SECTION 9. Committees. The Board of Directors may, by
resolution passed by a majority of the entire Board of
Directors, designate one or more committees, each committee
to consist of one or more of the directors of the
Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or
more directors as alternate members of any committee, who
may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting
of any such committee. In the absence or disqualification
of a member of a committee, and in the absence of a
designation by the Board of Directors of an alternate member
to replace the absent or disqualified member, the member or
members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified
from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum,
may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of
Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any absent
or disqualified member. Any committee, to the extent
allowed by law and provided in the resolution establishing
such committee, shall have and may exercise all the powers
and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of
the business and affairs of the Corporation, and any such
committee which is denominated an "Executive Committee"
shall have the power and authority to declare a dividend, to
authorize the issuance of stock and to adopt a certificate
of ownership and merger pursuant to Section 253 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; and any
other committee that is established by the Board of
Directors for the purpose of authorizing the issuance of
stock shall have the power and authority to authorize the
issuance of stock of the Corporation, subject to any
limitations contained in the resolutions establishing such
committee. Meetings of any committee which is denominated
an "Executive Committee" may be called by the Chairman of
such committee. Meetings of any other committee may be
called by the Chairman of such committee, if there be one,
or by any two members thereof other than such Chairman.
Notice thereof stating the place, date and hour of the
meeting shall be given to each member by mail not less than
forty-eight hours before the date of the meeting; by
telephone, telegram or telecopy on twenty-four hours notice;
or on such shorter notice as the person or persons calling
such meeting may deem necessary or appropriate in the
circumstances. Each committee shall keep regular minutes
and report to the Board of Directors when required.
SECTION 10. Compensation. The directors may be paid
their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the
Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for
attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and/or
a stated annual fee as a director. No such payment shall
preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any
other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members
of special or standing committees may be allowed like
compensation for attending committee meetings.
SECTION 11. Interested Directors. No contract or
transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its
directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any
other corporation, partnership,
-5-
association, or other organization in which one or more of
its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have
a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for
this reason, or solely because the director or officer is
present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of
Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract
or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are
counted for such purpose if (i) the material facts as to his
or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or
transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of
Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or
committee in good faith authorizes the contract or
transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the
disinterested directors, even though the disinterested
directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts
as to his or their relationship or interest and as to the
contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the
stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or
transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote
of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is
fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized,
approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee
thereof or the stockholders. Common or interested directors
may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a
meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which
authorizes the contract or transaction.

authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the Board of
Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition
precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such
lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal
representative, to advertise the same in such manner as the

against any claim that may be made against the Corporation

other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled
to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion

Directors, and which record date shall not be more than
sixty days nor less than ten days before the date of such
meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action.
A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 1. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or
Proceedings other than Those by or in the Right of the
Corporation. Subject to Section 3 of this Article VIII, the
Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself,
create a presumption that the person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
-10-
SECTION 2. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or
Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject
to Section 3 of this Article VIII, the Corporation shall
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such
person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite
adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the
Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
SECTION 3. Authorization of Indemnification. Any
indemnification under this Article VIII (unless ordered by a
court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized
in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent
is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or
Section 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Such
determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by
a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were
not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if
such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the
stockholders. To the extent, however, that a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 or
Section 2 of this Article VIII, or in defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith, without the
necessity of authorization in the specific case.
SECTION 4. Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any
determination under Section 3 of this Article VIII, a person
shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, if his action is
based on the records or books of account of the Corporation
or another enterprise, or on information, opinions, reports
or statements supplied to him by the officers or employees
of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of
their duties, or by a committee of the Board of Directors of
the Corporation, or on the advice of legal counsel for the
Corporation or another enterprise or on information or
records given or reports or statements made to the
Corporation or another enterprise by an independent
certified public accountant, by an appraiser or by another
person selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the
Corporation or another enterprise as to matters such person
reasonably believes are within such certified public
accountant's, appraiser's, or other person's professional or
expert competence. The term "another enterprise" as used in
this Section 4 shall mean any other corporation or any
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of
which such person is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The
provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be
exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which
a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article
VIII, as the case may be.
SECTION 5. Indemnification by a Court.
Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific
case under Section 3 of this Article VIII, and
notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder,
any director, officer, employee or agent may apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for
indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under
Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VIII. The basis of such
indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such
court that
-11-
indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent
is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or
2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Notice of any
application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5
shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing
of such application.
SECTION 6. Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses
incurred in defending or investigating a threatened or
pending action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by
or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to
repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that
he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as
authorized in this Article VIII.
SECTION 7. Non-exclusivity and Survival of
Indemnification. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by this Article VIII shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled
under any By-law, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or pursuant to the direction
(howsoever embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction
or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and
as to action in another capacity while holding such office,
it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification
of the persons specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article
VIII shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to
preclude the indemnification of any person who is not
specified in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VIII but whom
the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify
under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, or otherwise. The indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by this Article VIII shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of
the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
SECTION 8. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against any liability asserted against him and incurred by
him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as
such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or
the obligation to indemnify him against such liability under
the provisions of this Article VIII.
SECTION 9. Meaning of "Corporation" for Purposes of
Article VIII. For purposes of this Article VIII, references
to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the
resulting corporation, any constituent corporation
(including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a
consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had
continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify
its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of such constituent corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall
stand in the same position under the provisions of this
Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving
corporation as he would have with respect to such
constituent corporation if its separate existence had
continued.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
1994 BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT The 1994 results for the exploration and production
sector of the oil industry were dominated by the sharp drop in oil prices
beginning in the final quarter of 1993 and continuing into mid-1994. This drop
reflected the reluctance of OPEC to adjust its collective production downward
in the face of rising non-OPEC output, a weakening European economy and the
fear that the resumption of exports from Iraq was imminent.
Oil prices recovered in the last half of the year. Rising demand, OPEC's
resolve to keep its production constant at 24.5 million barrels per day and the
absence of any indication of the imminent return of Iraq to the market were
responsible for the recovery of oil prices.
Natural gas prices, conversely, were relatively strong during the first
half of 1994 due to unusually cold weather in January and February and higher
second quarter storage refilling. Gas prices in the second half dropped
significantly as supply availability rose as a result of increased U.S. and
Canadian drilling in 1993 and 1994. Mild weather in November and December
limited the normal winter price recovery since more supply was available from
producing areas and storage inventories were higher.
The interstate natural gas pipeline industry completed its first year of
operation under Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 636. As a
consequence, interstate pipelines no longer are marketers of natural gas but
instead provide transportation and storage services. The sale of natural gas to
local distribution companies and end-users has shifted to producers and
nonregulated marketing companies, including interstate pipeline company
affiliates.
1994 marked a year of change for the U.S. chemical industry. Stronger than
projected demand growth combined with unanticipated industry production outages
contributed to a general improvement in supply-and-demand balance, allowing
increases of both prices and margins. Demand for OxyChem products increased due
to the strengthening of the U.S. and other economies of the world and from
strong recoveries in such key end-use markets as the construction, automotive,
pulp and paper, and aluminum industries. The earnings at OxyChem improved as a
result of these increases in product margins and continued to benefit from cost
reduction efforts of the last several years.
Although margins eroded in the chlor-alkali business in the first quarter
of 1994, a succession of caustic soda price increases throughout the year has
brought margins close to historical highs in the first quarter of 1995. Prices
for ethylene and ethylene co-products, such as propylene, improved dramatically
in 1994. This was due to a combination of strong demand as well as shortages
resulting from industry production problems. OxyChem estimates that industry
ethylene prices rose more than 50 percent from the first quarter to the fourth
quarter of 1994. High density polyethylene (HDPE) demand was strong in 1994,
and combined with some industry shortages of its primary raw material,
ethylene, allowed for the improvement of both prices and margins. Polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) demand continued to grow at strong rates in 1994 which also was
reflected in improved selling prices.

1994 INCOME SUMMARY Occidental incurred a net loss of $36 million ($.36 per
share) in 1994, on net sales and operating revenues of $9.2 billion. Before the
after-tax effect of the special items listed below, earnings were $31 million.
The net loss included charges of $100 million for environmental and litigation
matters, $48 million for expenses related to the curtailment and closure of
certain chemical plant operations, $12 million for a voluntary retirement
program and severance and related costs, $11 million for the impairment of oil
and gas properties and an $11 million unfavorable impact related to both an
explosion and charges for start-up costs at two chemical plants. In addition,
the 1994 results included the following favorable special items: a gain of $16
million from the sale of Occidental's remaining interests in its producing
operations in Argentina; a $15 million benefit resulting from the reversal of
reserves no longer needed for anticipated liabilities related to the sale of
Occidental's U.K. North Sea interests; a benefit of $13 million from a
reduction of LIFO inventory; an after-tax benefit of $12 million from a
reduction of the contract impairment reserve; and a net benefit of $7 million
resulting from the reversal of reserves no longer required and the adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112--"Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."
DIVISIONAL OPERATIONS The following discussion of each of Occidental's three
operating divisions and corporate items should be read in conjunction with Note
15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Divisional earnings exclude interest income, interest expense, unallocated
corporate expenses, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, the
cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and income from equity
investments, but include gains from dispositions of divisional assets.
Foreign income and other taxes and certain state taxes are included in
divisional earnings on the basis of operating results. Beginning in 1992, in
connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 109--"Accounting for Income Taxes,"
Occidental changed its method of allocating to its operating divisions charges
in lieu of U.S. federal income taxes. Under this method, amounts are allocated
to the divisions only to the extent of the tax effect of operating charges and
credits resulting from purchase accounting adjustments, as further adjusted in
accordance with SFAS No. 109.
In accordance with the method adopted in 1992, divisional earnings in 1994
benefited by $91 million from net credits allocated. This included credits of
$18 million, $41 million and $32 million in oil and gas, natural gas
transmission and chemical, respectively. Divisional earnings in 1993 benefited
by $42 million from net credits allocated. This included credits of $20 million
and $38 million in oil and gas and chemical, respectively, and a net charge of
$16 million in natural gas transmission. Divisional earnings in 1992 benefited
by $24 million from net credits allocated. This included credits of $26 million
and $38 million in oil and gas and chemical, respectively, and a net charge of
$40 million in natural gas transmission.
The following table sets forth the sales and earnings of each operating
division and corporate items:

- - OIL AND GAS Occidental emphasizes international operations through
exploration for and production of oil and gas and through enhanced oil recovery
projects to improve long-term cash flow and profitability. Occidental expects
to increase domestic reserves and production above current levels through a
targeted exploration program, producing property acquisitions that fit its
infrastructure, such as the recent acquisitions of interests in certain U.S.
Gulf Coast oil and gas properties from Agip Petroleum Co. Inc. (Agip)
22
3
and of Placid Oil Company (Placid), and through improved field production
efficiencies. Also, Occidental continues to dispose of nonstrategic assets.
The operating results of 1994, compared with 1993, reflected lower
worldwide crude oil prices and domestic natural gas prices and higher
exploration costs, partially offset by higher international crude oil and
domestic natural gas volumes. The change in sales for 1994, compared with 1993,
largely reflected increased oil trading activity. The 1993 operating results,
compared with 1992, reflected lower worldwide crude oil prices and lower
domestic crude oil and natural gas volumes, partially offset by higher domestic
natural gas prices and increased international crude oil volumes from new oil
production projects.
The 1994 results reflected charges of $45 million for environmental and
litigation matters, $11 million for the impairment of oil and gas properties
and $12 million for a voluntary retirement program and severance and related
costs. Also included in the 1994 results was the gain of $16 million from the
sale of Occidental's remaining interests in its producing operations in
Argentina and a $15 million benefit resulting from the reversal of reserves no
longer needed for anticipated liabilities related to the sale of Occidental's
U.K. North Sea interests. The 1993 results included a benefit of $85 million,
net of a federal tax charge of $45 million, resulting from the reversal of
foreign tax reserves following the settlement of tax matters with foreign
jurisdictions relating to the disposition of certain international oil and gas
assets in 1991. The 1993 results also included a gain of $30 million on the
sale of Occidental's equity interest in Trident NGL, Inc. (Trident), $25
million from a windfall profit tax refund and $5 million from a favorable
litigation settlement, partially offset by a $24 million charge for
environmental remediation and litigation matters. The 1992 results included a
gain of $75 million from the receipt of a contingent payment in connection with
the 1985 sale of a subsidiary that owned one half of Occidental's Colombian
operations and a benefit of $35 million from a favorable litigation settlement,
partially offset by a $32 million net charge for environmental remediation
costs and a charge of $26 million to adjust the carrying value of certain
domestic producing properties.
- - NATURAL GAS TRANSMISSION In 1994, MidCon Corp.'s (MidCon) regulated and
nonregulated companies introduced new services in response to changes in the
natural gas market. Total throughput volume (excluding affiliates) decreased
approximately 8 percent to 2.08 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) in 1994, compared
with 2.27 Tcf in 1993. Transportation volumes decreased slightly, while sales
volumes decreased approximately 17 percent. The FERC Order 636 had the effect
of essentially eliminating gas sales by Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America
(Natural) after December 1, 1993. Overall revenues for 1994 were lower than
1993 due to lower sales volumes at Natural; however, significant volumes of gas
were sold by the nonregulated subsidiary of MidCon. Operating earnings declined
in 1994, compared with 1993, reflecting changes in rates charged by Natural
following the implementation of Order 636 and the settlement of a concurrent
rate case. The lower sales volumes at Natural did not result in an earnings
decline since regulatory procedures implementing Order 636 permitted margins
from former sales service to be reallocated to transportation and gas storage
services. Additionally, earnings were lower in 1994, compared with 1993,
resulting from lower reversals of financial reserves for disadvantageous gas
purchase contracts, partially offset by lower depreciation expense in 1994.
The 1993 sales and operating revenues, compared with 1992, reflected lower
sales volumes primarily caused by changes in FERC regulations, including the
implementation of Order 636 on December 1, 1993. However, natural gas
transmission results, before the benefit of reductions of the contract
impairment reserve and other nonrecurring items, were approximately the same in
1993 and 1992 as a result of higher transportation margins and lower operating
costs. Total throughput volume (excluding affiliates) decreased approximately 4
percent to 2.27 Tcf in 1993, compared with 2.37 Tcf in 1992. Transportation
volumes remained approximately the same, while sales volumes decreased
approximately 13 percent.
The 1994 results included the benefit of $13 million from a reduction of
LIFO gas storage inventory and the net benefit of $12 million from the
reduction of the contract impairment reserve. The 1993 results included a net
benefit of $154 million from the reduction of the contract impairment reserve
and an $8 million reversal of a tax-related reserve no longer required. The
1992 results reflected a net benefit of $209 million resulting from the
reduction of the contract impairment reserve. The reduction of the contract
impairment reserve in each year resulted from a decrease in the net exposure
under disadvantageous gas purchase contracts, the elimination of certain
potential claims, the successful resolution of litigation, settlements or other
changes in the expected outcome of matters covered by the reserve. Also
included in 1992 was a $29 million reversal of a tax reserve, partially offset
by a charge of $15 million for costs related to a reorganization of the
division's operations.
- - CHEMICAL OxyChem's ongoing commitment to controlling costs and maintaining
the reliable operations of its manufacturing facilities continues to make
important contributions to earnings. Higher margins resulting from an improved
supply-and-demand balance significantly benefited earnings in the latter part
of 1994 and are expected to continue to do so into 1995, as price increases
announced in 1994 take full effect.
Operating earnings in 1994 improved significantly, compared with 1993, as
prices and margins increased for a number of OxyChem's key products, primarily
PVC, chlorine and petrochemicals. Although caustic soda market prices rose
sharply in the second half of 1994, much of the impact will be seen in 1995
since OxyChem sells caustic soda mainly
23
4
under term contracts which will delay much of the impact until early 1995.
Additionally, the 1994 results benefited from ongoing efforts to manage costs
and improve productivity and from lower depreciation expense. The higher
operating earnings in 1993, compared with 1992, reflected lower manufacturing
and administrative costs and improved volumes. However, margins for most
products were lower as a result of competitive pricing.
The 1994 results also reflected a $55 million charge for litigation matters
and charges of $48 million for expenses related to the curtailment and closure
of certain plant operations. Included in the 1994 results was an $11 million
unfavorable impact related to an explosion at the Taft plant and charges for
start-up costs related to the Swift Creek chemical plant. The 1993 results
included a $16 million benefit resulting from the reversal of a plant closure
reserve no longer required. The 1992 results included a charge of $7 million
related to a fire at a chemical plant.
- - CORPORATE Corporate administration and other income and expense
items in 1994 included a net benefit of $7 million resulting from the reversal
of reserves no longer required and the adoption of SFAS No. 112--"Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" and also reflected higher equity
earnings, primarily from unconsolidated chemical investments.
The 1993 amount included a onetime noncash charge of $55 million to adjust
net deferred tax liabilities following the enactment of tax legislation in
August 1993, partially offset by $13 million of interest income related to the
windfall profit tax refund discussed above.
Included in the 1992 amount was a gain of $128 million resulting from a
sale of 12 million shares of Occidental's holdings in Canadian Occidental
Petroleum Ltd. (CanadianOxy). Also included was a $10 million charge related to
a cost reduction program announced in November 1992.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In July 1993, Occidental sold Island Creek Coal, Inc.
to CONSOL Inc. Following the closing of the sale, Occidental re-evaluated the
adequacy of the reserves recorded in the fourth quarter of 1992 related to the
decision to exit the coal business and reversed certain reserves no longer
deemed necessary. After recognizing the effect of the sale and the reversal of
reserves, an after-tax benefit of $221 million was included in discontinued
operations. The net loss in 1992 from discontinued operations included the
after-tax charge of $600 million related to the decision to exit the coal
business and a net loss from the coal operations of $22 million for the year.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES Beginning in 1994, Occidental revised the estimated
average useful lives used to compute depreciation for most of its chemical
machinery and equipment from 20 years to 25 years and for most of its
natural gas transmission property to a remaining life of 40 years. These
revisions were made to more properly reflect the current economic lives of the
assets based on anticipated industry conditions. The result was a reduction in
net loss for the year ended December 31, 1994 of approximately $65 million, or
approximately $.21 per share. Natural gas transmission and chemical divisional
earnings benefited by approximately $31 million and $34 million, respectively.
In December 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
112--"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," which substantially
changed the existing method of accounting for employer benefits provided to
inactive or former employees after active employment but before retirement. The
statement requires that the cost of postemployment benefits (principally
medical benefits for inactive employees) be recognized in the financial
statements during employees' active working careers. Occidental's adoption of
SFAS No. 112, effective January 1, 1994, did not have a material impact on
Occidental's financial position or results of operations.
Occidental changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits
other than pensions by adopting SFAS No. 106--"Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," effective January 1, 1992. This
statement substantially changed the method of accounting for postretirement
benefits by requiring that the cost of these benefits, which are primarily
health care related, be recognized in the financial statements during the
employees' active working careers, rather than the previously permitted
practice of accounting for such costs as claims were paid. The adoption of SFAS
No. 106 resulted in an after-tax charge against 1992 earnings of $529 million,
including $513 million which was charged to the 1992 first quarter earnings for
the cumulative effect of this accounting change and a charge of $16 million for
the ongoing effect included in 1992 earnings.
Occidental also adopted, effective January 1, 1992, SFAS No. 109--
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability
approach in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income
taxes are recognized, at enacted rates, to reflect the future effects of tax
carryforwards and temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. SFAS
No. 109 required the restatement of assets and liabilities related to purchased
businesses to eliminate the previously used net-of-tax accounting for such
assets and liabilities, resulting in higher carrying values and therefore in
higher operating charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization but lower
tax expense. This statement also eliminated the concept of the utilization of
net operating loss carryforwards for accounting purposes, which were previously
reported as extraordinary items, by requiring the immediate recognition of
losses in the year incurred, subject to realization. The adoption of SFAS No.
109 resulted in a net benefit to 1992 earnings of $285 million, including a
$420 million benefit to 1992 first quarter earnings for the cumulative effect
of this accounting change and a
24
5
charge of $135 million attributable to and included in 1992 earnings.
The special items included in the 1994, 1993 and 1992 results are detailed

CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS--REVENUES Net sales and operating revenues were $9.2
billion in 1994, $8.1 billion in 1993 and $8.5 billion in 1992. The increase in
sales in 1994, compared with 1993, primarily reflected the impact of improved
prices in PVC, chlorine and petrochemicals businesses and increased oil trading
activity. The decrease in sales in 1993, compared with 1992, primarily
reflected lower sales prices for most major chemical products, lower worldwide
crude oil prices and lower domestic crude oil and natural gas sales volumes.
These decreases were partially offset by higher domestic natural gas prices,
increased international crude oil volumes and improved chemical volumes.
Interest, dividends and other income totaled $92 million, $347 million and
$446 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Included in the 1994 amount
was the benefit of $20 million from a pretax reduction of the contract
impairment reserve at MidCon, the Company's natural gas transmission division,
and the $15 million benefit resulting from the reversal of reserves no longer
needed for anticipated liabilities related to the sale of Occidental's U.K.
North Sea interests. Included in the 1993 amount was the benefit of a $246
million pretax reduction of the contract impairment reserve at MidCon. Also
included in the 1993 results were the $5 million favorable litigation
settlement and the $25 million windfall profit tax refund, both recorded in the
oil and gas division, and $13 million of interest income related to this
windfall profit tax refund.
Included in the 1992 amount was the benefit of a $318 million pretax
reduction of the contract impairment reserve at MidCon. Also included in the
1992 results was the $35 million favorable litigation settlement in the oil and
gas division.

Income from equity investments totaled $73 million in 1994, $27 million in
1993 and $22 million in 1992. The increase in 1994, compared with 1993 and
1992, primarily reflected higher earnings from certain unconsolidated chemical
investments and CanadianOxy.
CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS--EXPENSES Cost of sales was $6.7 billion in 1994,
$6.0 billion in 1993 and $6.3 billion in 1992. The increase in 1994 from 1993
primarily reflected increased oil trading activity. The decrease in 1993 from
1992 primarily reflected lower manufacturing and administrative costs in the
chemical division.
Selling, general and administrative and other operating expenses were $984
million in 1994, $763 million in 1993 and $837 million in 1992. The increase in
1994, compared with 1993, essentially reflected higher other operating expenses
of $200 million and lower foreign exchange gains of $15 million. The higher
other operating expenses included $96 million of litigation expense provisions,
$48 million for expenses related to curtailment and closure of certain chemical
plant operations, and higher other reserves. The decrease in 1993 from 1992
primarily reflected the benefits of Occidental's ongoing cost reduction efforts
as well as charges in 1992 for reorganization and severance costs.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of assets was $882 million in
1994, $892 million in 1993 and $872 million in 1992. The decrease in 1994 from
1993 reflected lower depreciation expense as a result of the change in
estimated average useful lives of certain chemical and natural gas transmission
property, as described above, partially offset by depreciation and depletion
expense associated with two major oil and gas projects completed and placed in
service in mid-1993.
Environmental remediation charges were $4 million in 1994, $18 million in
1993 and $42 million in 1992. Further information regarding these charges is
provided below in the Environmental Matters section of this discussion.
Interest and debt expense was $584 million in 1994, $580 million in 1993
and $640 million in 1992. The decrease in 1993 from 1992 primarily reflected
lower overall effective interest rates and lower outstanding average debt
levels in 1993.
The provision for domestic and foreign income and other taxes was $143
million in 1994 and in 1993 and $195 million in 1992. The 1994 amount compared
with 1993 reflected lower domestic taxes and increased foreign taxes resulting
from relatively more income subject to tax in various foreign jurisdictions,
and the absence in 1994 of two special items in 1993, as discussed below. In
1994, income taxes exceeded pretax income primarily because of substantial
amounts of foreign income that was taxed individually in separate
jurisdictions, before the benefit of a U.S. tax deduction for interest and
corporate expenses. The decrease in 1993 from 1992 primarily reflected the $85
million reversal of foreign tax reserves, partially offset by the $55 million
charge to adjust net deferred tax liabilities, as described above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities was
$760 million in 1994, $608 million in 1993 and $550 million in 1992. These
amounts included net cash used in operating activities of discontinued
operations of $15 million in 1994, $38 million in 1993 and net cash provided of
$14 million in 1992. The 1994 improvement reflected improved operating earnings
primarily in the chemical division. The 1993 improvement, compared with 1992,
reflected changes in working capital, including proceeds of $100 million from a
fourth quarter sale of an undivided percentage ownership interest in a
designated pool of domestic trade receivables.
Cash provided by operating activities in 1993 and 1992 was adversely
affected by the unfavorable economic environment, resulting in lower sales
prices and margins, particularly in chemical operations. Included in the 1992
amount were proceeds of $400 million from a sale of domestic trade receivables.
Additionally, the 1992 amount included $35 million from the favorable
litigation settlement in the oil and gas division.
The 1994 noncash charges of $102 million primarily reflected the charges of
$100 million for environmental and litigation matters and $48 million for
expenses related to the curtailment and closure of certain chemical plant
operations, partially offset by $22 million resulting from the reversal of
reserves no longer needed and $20 million from the reduction of the contract
impairment reserve. The 1993 and 1992 noncash credits primarily reflected the
reductions of the contract impairment reserve, discussed above. Each of the
three years also included charges for employee benefit plans, income from
equity investments and other items.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.0 billion in 1994, compared
with net cash used of approximately $876 million and $361 million in 1993 and
1992, respectively. These amounts included net cash provided by investing
activities of discontinued operations of $2 million in 1993 and net cash used
of $14 million in 1992.
Capital expenditures for continuing operations totaled approximately $1.1
billion in 1994 and 1993, compared with $860 million in 1992. The 1994 amount
included $818 million for oil and gas, $190 million for chemical and $93
million for natural gas transmission. The 1993 amount included $848 million for
oil and gas, $166 million for chemical and $65 million for natural gas
transmission. The 1994 capital expenditures reflected the cash portion of the
purchase price of certain U.S. Gulf Coast oil and gas properties acquired from
Agip and payments under a production sharing agreement for an enhanced oil
recovery project in Qatar. The increase in 1993 from 1992 reflected
substantially higher spending during 1993 in international oil and gas, in
particular for the purchase of a royalty interest in the Congo and for the
development of oil discoveries in Yemen and Ecuador.
The 1994 purchase of businesses reflected cash balances obtained as a
result of the acquisition of Placid, which was consummated through the issuance
of Occidental common and preferred stock, as described below. The 1992 purchase
of businesses
26
7
reflected the purchase of chemical operations that complemented Occidental's
chemical business.
The 1993 proceeds from the sale of businesses and disposals of property,
plant and equipment included the sale of Occidental's equity interest in
Trident for approximately $121 million and the disposition of the coal business
and other assets. The 1992 proceeds from the sale of businesses and disposals
of property, plant and equipment included the sale of the CanadianOxy shares,
the receipt of a contingent payment related to the 1985 sale of the subsidiary
that owned one half of Occidental's Colombian operations and the sale of the
natural gas transmission division's Iowa pipeline.
Net cash payments on disadvantageous or "impaired" gas purchase contracts
and related recoveries resulted mainly from changes by the FERC in regulation
of interstate pipelines, including Natural. Order 636 essentially eliminated
interstate pipeline sales altogether in 1993. See 1995 Business
Outlook--Natural Gas Transmission Industry for a further discussion of the
impaired gas purchase contracts and the impact of changes in FERC regulations.
In 1994 and 1993, impaired contract net payments totaled $1 million and $12
million, respectively. In 1992, recoveries, net of payments, totaled $116
million in relation to the impaired natural gas purchase and sales contracts of
MidCon's interstate and intrastate pipeline subsidiaries. These payments,
together with certain other noncash consideration, were charged principally to
the reserve established in connection with the purchase of MidCon.
Financing activities provided cash of $219 million in 1994, compared with
net cash provided of $340 million in 1993 and net cash used of $317 million in
1992. The 1994 amount included net cash proceeds of approximately $557 million
from the February public offering of 11,388,340 shares of $3.00 cumulative
CXY-indexed convertible preferred stock. In 1994, proceeds from borrowings, net
of repayments of debt, resulted in net cash provided of $26 million. The 1993
amount included net cash proceeds of $563 million from the February issuance of
11,500,000 shares of $3.875 cumulative convertible preferred stock. In 1993,
proceeds from lower cost borrowings, net of repayments of higher cost debt,
resulted in net cash provided of $108 million.
Occidental paid preferred and common stock dividends of $376 million in
1994, $335 million in 1993 and $306 million in 1992. The increase in 1994 and
1993 primarily reflected the dividends on the preferred stocks discussed above.
Cash used by investing activities exceeded cash provided by operating
activities for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. Occidental funded
this net cash use through borrowings and issuance of preferred stock.
Occidental believes that, through internally generated funds and financing
activity, it will have sufficient funds to continue its current capital
spending programs.
Occidental has a centralized cash-management system that funds the working
capital and capital expenditure requirements of its various subsidiaries. There
are no provisions under existing debt agreements that significantly restrict
the ability to move funds among operating entities.
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities were $129 million and $157 million, respectively. At December 31,
1994, working capital was $57 million, compared with negative working capital
of $114 million at December 31, 1993. Occidental had available, at December 31,
1994, $2.2 billion of committed credit lines and draws on them, as needed, to
maintain sufficient cash balances for daily operating and other purposes.
Trade receivables, net, increased to $831 million at December 31, 1994 from
$539 million at December 31, 1993. The change primarily reflected increased oil
trading activity and higher chemical sales in the fourth quarter of 1994,
compared with the same period of 1993.
Equity investments increased to $692 million at December 31, 1994 from $482
million at December 31, 1993. The change primarily reflected the inclusion of
equity investments as a result of the acquisition of Placid.
The net increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily
reflected higher rate refunds due customers in the natural gas transmission
division and increased oil trading activity.
Senior funded debt, net of current maturities and unamortized discount,
increased to $5.823 billion at December 31, 1994, from $5.728 billion at
December 31, 1993. The net change reflected proceeds from borrowings that were
used in Occidental's operations and capital expenditure program and for other
general corporate purposes, partially offset by the application of net proceeds
from the preferred stock issuance described above. In addition, the 1994 amount
reflected approximately $31 million of senior funded debt assumed in connection
with the acquisition of Placid. Principal payments of senior funded debt in
1994 were $406 million. At December 31, 1994, minimum principal payments on
senior funded debt, including sinking fund requirements, totaled $48 million in
1996, $323 million in 1997, $641 million in 1998, $1.427 billion in 1999, $353
million in 2000 and $3.194 billion thereafter. However, Occidental has the
option to call certain issues of senior funded debt prior to their maturity
dates.
Deferred and other income taxes increased to $2.565 billion at December 31,
1994, from $2.388 billion at December 31, 1993. The increase reflected changes
in net deferred taxes as a result of purchase accounting adjustments for the
acquisition of Placid and other changes in deferred income taxes, including
reclassifications.
Other liabilities decreased to $2.937 billion at December 31, 1994, from
$2.988 billion at December 31, 1993. The change primarily reflected charges for
environmental and litigation matters in the oil and gas and chemical divisions,
discussed above, and liabilities assumed as a result of the acquisition of
Placid, which were more than offset by payments and reclassifications.
The paid-in capital component of stockholders' equity was $5.004 billion
in 1994, compared with
27
8
$5.212 billion in 1993 and $5.532 billion in 1992. The decreases in 1994
and 1993 primarily reflected dividends declared, partially offset by the
issuance of common stock for the 1994 acquisitions of Placid and the Agip
property interests, and the issuance of common stock to various employee
benefit plans and the dividend reinvestment plan.
The retained earnings component of stockholders' equity was a deficit of
$1.929 billion in 1994, $1.883 billion in 1993 and $2.152 billion in 1992. The
changes in 1994 and 1993 primarily reflected net income or loss, as applicable.
On December 29, 1994, Occidental acquired Placid for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $250 million through the issuance of 3,606,484 shares of
$3.875 cumulative convertible voting preferred stock, with a value of $175
million, and the balance through the issuance of 3,835,941 shares of Occidental
common stock.
Placid has oil and gas exploration and production properties primarily in
the U.S. Gulf Coast and the Netherlands. These properties have proved reserves
of approximately 12 million barrels of oil and 242 billion cubic feet of
natural gas. Placid also has an approximate 39 percent interest in a major
pipeline system in the Dutch sector of the North Sea, which includes 170 miles
of main and feeder lines.
The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method. Accordingly,
the cost of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based upon their estimated respective fair values. The
allocation of the purchase price will be finalized during 1995 upon completion
of the asset valuations and resolution of the preacquisition contingencies, if
any. The Placid acquisition will be antidilutive to earnings.
In addition, as previously mentioned, on March 31, 1994, Occidental
acquired interests in certain U.S. Gulf Coast oil and gas properties from Agip
for a purchase price of $161 million through the issuance of 5,150,602 shares
of Occidental common stock and the balance paid in cash.
Commitments at December 31, 1994 for major capital expenditures during 1995
and thereafter were approximately $438 million, which included Occidental's oil
and gas development commitments in Qatar and Venezuela. Estimated total capital
expenditures for 1995 are approximately $960 million, the majority of which is
for oil and gas.
During the third quarter of 1994, Occidental signed an agreement with the
government of the state of Qatar to substantially increase oil production and
recoverable reserves in the Idd el Shargi North Dome field and provide
technical support and services to improve production in all of the country's
oil fields. Occidental will invest more than $700 million in development
capital over the 25-year life of the project and will receive a share of the
oil production.
On January 31, 1995, the FERC approved a settlement of Natural's rate
case. This settlement will result in refunds being made to customers.
Approximately $128 million, relating to this rate overcollection for 1994 and
1993, was provided for in those years but is expected to be refunded during
1995. Consequently, this refund will not have a negative impact on Occidental's
results of operations in 1995.
HEDGING ACTIVITIES Occidental periodically uses commodity futures contracts,
options and swaps to hedge the impact of oil and natural gas price fluctuations
and uses forward exchange contracts to hedge the risk associated with
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Occidental does not engage in
activities using highly complex or leveraged instruments. Gains and losses on
commodity futures contracts are deferred and recognized in income as an
adjustment to sales revenue or purchase costs when the related transaction
being hedged is finalized. Gains and losses on foreign currency forward
exchange contracts that hedge identifiable future commitments are deferred and
recognized when the related item being hedged is settled. All other contracts
are recognized in periodic income.
In addition, the oil and gas division engages in oil and gas trading
activity through the use of future purchase and sale contracts. The results
generally are not significant and are included in periodic income.
Many of Occidental's foreign chemical operations and foreign oil and gas
operations are located in Latin America and other developing countries whose
currencies generally depreciate against the U.S. dollar on a continuing basis.
An effective currency forward market does not exist for these countries;
therefore, Occidental attempts to manage its exposure primarily by balancing
monetary assets and liabilities and maintaining cash positions only at levels
necessary for operating purposes. The major foreign currency positions at
December 31, 1994 are generally in a net liability position, effectively
eliminating the potentially unfavorable effects of devaluation.
Interest rate swaps are entered into as part of Occidental's overall
strategy to maintain part of its debt on a floating rate basis. From time to
time, Occidental enters into interest rate swaps on specific debt. In November
1993, Occidental entered into interest rate swaps on newly issued fixed-rate
debt for notional amounts totaling $530 million, converting this fixed-rate
debt to floating-rate debt. The swap rate difference resulted in approximately
$6 million and $1 million savings in interest expense for 1994 and 1993,
respectively, compared to what interest expense would have been had the debt
remained at fixed rates. The impact of the swap on the weighted average
interest rates for 1994 and 1993 was not significant. The fair value of
interest rate swaps is the amount at which they could be settled, based on
estimates obtained from dealers. Based on these estimates at December 31, 1994,
Occidental would be required to pay approximately $54 million to terminate its
interest rate swap agreements. Occidental will continue its strategy of
maintaining part of its debt on a floating rate basis and therefore intends to
hold these agreements to maturity.

TAXES At December 31, 1994, Occidental had recorded net deferred tax
liabilities aggregating approximately $2.3 billion, which is net of deferred
tax assets of approximately $2.0 billion. The current portion of the deferred
tax assets of $285 million is included in prepaid expenses and other. The net
deferred tax assets are expected to be realized against future reversals of
existing taxable temporary differences.
LAWSUITS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Occidental and certain of its
subsidiaries are parties to various lawsuits, environmental and other
proceedings and claims that involve substantial amounts. See Note 8 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Occidental also has commitments under
contracts, guarantees and joint ventures and certain other contingent
liabilities. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In
management's opinion, after taking into account reserves, none of these matters
should have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated financial position
of Occidental, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more
of these matters could have a material impact on Occidental's results of
operations for that period.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Occidental's operations in the United States are
subject to increasingly stringent federal, state and local laws and regulations
relating to improving or maintaining the quality of the environment. Foreign
operations also are subject to varied environmental protection laws and strive
to be compatible with the objectives of U.S. environmental laws. Costs
associated with environmental compliance have increased over time and are
expected to continue to rise in the future. Environmental expenditures, related
to current operations, are factored into the overall business planning process.
These expenditures are considered less of an incremental cost but are treated
more as an integral part of production in manufacturing quality products
responsive to market demand.
The laws which require or address remediation apply retroactively to
previous waste disposal practices. And, in many cases, the laws apply
regardless of fault, legality of the original activities or ownership or
control of sites. Occidental is currently participating in environmental
assessments and cleanups under these laws at federal Superfund sites,
comparable state sites and other remediation sites, including Occidental
facilities and previously owned sites. Also, Occidental and certain of its
subsidiaries have been involved in a substantial number of governmental and
private proceedings involving historical practices at various sites, including
in some instances, having been named as defendants and/or as potentially
responsible parties (PRPs) under the federal Superfund law. These proceedings
seek funding and/or remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged
personal injury or property damage, punitive damages and civil penalties,
aggregating substantial amounts.
Occidental does not consider the number of Superfund and comparable state
sites at which it has been notified that it has been identified as being
involved as a relevant measure of exposure. Although the liability of a PRP or,
in many cases, its equivalent under state law is joint and several, Occidental
is usually one of many companies cited as a PRP at these sites and has, to
date, been successful in sharing cleanup costs with other financially sound
companies. Also, many of these sites are still under investigation by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the state agencies. Prior to actual
cleanup, the parties involved assess site conditions and responsibility and
determine the appropriate remedy. The majority of remediation costs are
incurred after the parties obtain EPA or equivalent state agency approval to
proceed. The ultimate future cost of remediation of certain of the sites for
which Occidental has been notified that it has been identified as involved is
not known.
As of December 31, 1994, Occidental had been notified by the EPA or
equivalent state agencies or otherwise had become aware that it had been
identified as being involved at 278 Superfund or comparable state sites. (This
number does not include 45 sites where Occidental has been successful in
resolving its involvement.) The 278 sites include 76 former Diamond Shamrock
Chemical sites as to which Maxus Energy Corporation has retained all liability,
and two sites at which the extent of such retained liability is disputed. Of
the remaining 200 sites, Occidental has had no communication or activity with
government agencies or other PRPs in three years at 28 sites, and has denied or
has yet to determine involvement in 54 sites. With respect to the remaining 118
of these sites, Occidental is in various stages of evaluation. For 69 of these
sites, where environmental remediation efforts are probable and the costs can
be reasonably estimated, Occidental has accrued reserves at the most likely
cost to be incurred. In determining the reserves, Occidental uses the most
current information available, including similar past experiences, available
technology, regulations in effect, the timing of remediation and cost-sharing
arrangements. For the remaining 49 of these sites, Occidental does not have
sufficient information to determine a range of liability, but Occidental does
have sufficient information on which to base the opinion expressed above in the
Lawsuits, Commitments and Contingencies section. For management's opinion on
lawsuits and proceedings and on other environmental loss contingencies, see the
Lawsuits, Commitments and Contingencies section. For further discussion of one
separately disclosed site, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Occidental provided additional reserves of approximately $4 million in
1994, $18 million in 1993 and $42 million in 1992 for costs associated with
expected remediation efforts at a number of sites. The 1994 amount related
entirely to the oil and gas division. The 1993 amount included a $17 million
provision in the oil and gas division and a $1 million provision in the
chemical division. The 1992 amount related
29
10
entirely to the oil and gas division. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
Occidental had environmental reserves of approximately $635 million and $742
million, respectively.
Occidental's estimated operating expenses in 1994 relating to compliance
with environmental laws and regulations governing ongoing operations were
approximately $114 million, compared with $110 million in 1993 and $117
million in 1992. The 1994 amount included $74 million in the chemical division,
$34 million in the oil and gas division and $6 million in the natural gas
transmission division. In addition, estimated capital expenditures for
environmental compliance were $67 million in 1994, compared with $83 million in
1993 and $80 million in 1992. The 1994 amount included $42 million in the oil
and gas division, $24 million in the chemical division and $1 million in the
natural gas transmission division. Divisional operating and capital
expenditures for environmental compliance are expected to increase in the
future.
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS Portions of Occidental's oil and gas assets are located
in countries outside North America, some of which may be considered politically
and economically unstable. These assets and the related operations are subject
to the risk of actions by governmental authorities and insurgent groups.
Occidental attempts to conduct its financial affairs so as to protect against
such risks and would expect to receive compensation in the event of
nationalization. At December 31, 1994, the carrying value of Occidental's oil
and gas assets in countries outside North America aggregated approximately
$1.942 billion, or approximately 11 percent of Occidental's total assets at
that date. Of such assets, approximately $527 million was located in the Middle
East, $506 million was located in Latin America, and substantially all of the
remainder were located in the Netherlands, West Africa, Russia and Pakistan.
1995 BUSINESS OUTLOOK
- - OIL AND NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY The interplay between global politics, world
oil supply and demand and the pace of economic growth worldwide will remain
the key factor in determining future crude oil prices. The NYMEX crude oil
futures market has emerged as a powerful influence on price as traders react
instantaneously to their perception of changing market fundamentals and news
about global political events. Oil and gas prices are sensitive to these and
other complex factors, most of which are outside the control of Occidental.
Accordingly, Occidental is unable to predict with certainty the direction,
magnitude or impact of future trends in sales prices for oil and gas.
With oil consumption continuing to rise steadily everywhere except in the
former Soviet Union, capacity must be developed to meet demand over the longer
term. At an indeterminate point, Iraqi production will return to the world
market. Some capacity will be developed in non-OPEC countries through
successful exploration and improved recovery techniques, but coupled with the
natural decline of existing sources, the supply from non-OPEC countries will
probably remain flat over the near term. At present, only the Gulf OPEC
countries have producing capacity to make up any serious shortages of supplies.
Over the longer term, capacity expansion will occur mainly in the OPEC
countries, principally the Middle East and Venezuela. The former Soviet Union
is an opportunity for future capacity growth, but present political conditions
will have to change considerably to attract and retain Western capital and
technology. In response to the need for new producing capacity, Occidental will
continue its active program of exploration. In addition, Occidental expects to
continue to pursue opportunities to undertake enhanced oil recovery projects in
underdeveloped fields around the world.
The sector of the oil and gas industry that has attracted the most
attention recently is natural gas. Natural gas consumption in the United States
increased for the eighth consecutive year in 1994 to over 21 Tcf. This is the
highest level since 1974. The outlook for continued increases in natural gas
demand remains positive because it is a clean burning, relatively abundant
fuel, making it very attractive in this "age of environment." It has long been
used for residential heating and burned under industrial and utility boilers.
Efforts are being made to adapt it as a transport fuel.
The United States has large potential reserves of natural gas. With
increased demand, companies have resumed exploration in natural gas-prone
areas, and drilling activity increased during 1994.
In the past, structural problems, such as government price controls,
production and consumption regulations and cumbersome contract problems,
impeded the gas industry's ability to respond to rapidly changing competitive
conditions and price changes.
However, the industry recently has made changes to resolve these problems.
Supply contract problems have been resolved. The industry is aggressively
pursuing its existing markets and expanding into new ones. Government
regulations have been reduced and/or eliminated. Also, natural gas pricing has
become much more responsive to market changes.
An anticipated increase in economic activity in 1995 will in turn translate
into an increased need for energy, including natural gas. However, despite the
outlook for increasing demand for the longer term, a sharp rise in U.S. and
Canadian drilling in 1993 and 1994 has resulted in excessive gas supply
relative to demand and a corresponding decline in gas prices since mid-1994.
Gas storage reached a record-high level as the 1994-95 winter heating season
commenced, and a very mild winter lowered gas demand relative to the previous
winter, exerting additional downward pressure on gas prices.
- - NATURAL GAS TRANSMISSION INDUSTRY Increased gas consumption stimulated by
economic growth and lower gas prices is expected to have a favorable impact on
the gas transmission industry by generating new investment opportunities for
gas pipelines. Demand growth is generally projected for eastern gas
30
11
markets, and MidCon's pipelines and storage assets are strategically located to
play a role in serving those markets by moving gas from western, mid-continent
and Canadian supply areas.
Implementation of Order 636 has further increased competition in the
interstate natural gas industry, including competition for services in
Natural's markets, resulting in utility customers reevaluating gas supply and
transportation strategies. Under Order 636, interstate gas pipelines like
Natural no longer sell gas but continue to provide transportation and storage
services. Virtually all the throughput capacity on Natural's interstate system
has been sold out under firm service contracts for this heating season.
Utility customers are expected to continue to reevaluate pipeline services
as part of their overall review of gas acquisition policies. This review
process is expected to further increase the level of competition for
transportation and related storage services. As utility customers seek more
customized services, they create additional business opportunities. For
example, customized services for peak demand delivery of gas are increasingly
important and MidCon's nonregulated marketing unit, MidCon Gas Services Corp.
(MidCon Gas), is one of the industry's largest managers of unregulated storage
services to support peak demand requirements.
In 1994, MidCon Gas was successful in marketing a rebundled sales service
to several of Natural's former sales customers covering 800 million cubic feet
(Mmcf) of gas per day of their "no-notice" service. MidCon Gas manages storage
and transportation rights for these customers and secures gas supply to provide
them with "no-notice" rebundled sales service. The expertise of MidCon Gas in
storage management was instrumental in securing this business. For the 1994-95
heating season, MidCon Gas managed approximately 70 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of
storage gas in providing winter peaking and storage services.
In the future, gas utility customers are expected to require even more
customized services and will seek to increase utilization of their own storage
assets. MidCon Gas expects that there will be a growing market for gas
portfolio management services and that its experience in managing storage will
be beneficial in securing increased business.
Under Order 636, pipelines are utilizing a straight fixed variable rate
design under which revenues are collected more evenly throughout the year than
had been the case prior to 1994, resulting in lower seasonal fluctuations in
pipeline quarterly revenue and income.
On January 31, 1995, the FERC approved a settlement of the rate case under
which Natural has been operating for the past 18 months. This settlement calls
for Natural to file a new rate case in mid-1995, to be effective December 1,
1995. Natural's existing transportation and storage service agreements with its
major Midwestern utility customers terminate on that date. A portion of
business with those customers is expected to be moved to other pipelines as
customers further diversify their supply portfolios. Natural is presently
renegotiating expiring contracts with current customers. Although a portion of
business may move to other pipelines, Natural expects to add new customers.
The new rate case will include services and pricing responsive to customer
requirements. Natural is working with customers to establish a more flexible
approach to providing customized services to enhance system utilization and
increase revenue.
An "open access" program for interstate pipelines was promulgated by the
FERC in 1986. Traditional customers could purchase directly from producers and
other marketers; however, the pipelines were not released from purchase
obligations under long-term supply contracts with producers. Claims under these
contracts were resolved and MidCon's interstate subsidiary, Natural, was
allowed by the FERC to recover 50 percent of its settlement costs, plus
interest, from its customers.
However, a number of these long-term contracts continue to be in effect and
their disadvantageous terms will result in additional costs to be recovered
either from customers under procedures established as a result of Order 636 or
charged to the reserve created upon the acquisition of MidCon. See the
Lawsuits, Commitments and Contingencies section above for further discussion.
Order 636 essentially eliminated interstate pipeline gas supply sales
altogether. When Natural discontinued merchant service on December 1, 1993, it
no longer needed gas supplies to meet sales requirements. Natural has
eliminated most of its gas supply contracts through termination or buyout. Of
the contracts that remain, Natural's obligations are being resolved in a number
of ways in order to minimize gas supply realignment (GSR) costs.
Natural has reached settlements with its former sales customers providing
for recovery of a significant amount of its GSR costs. These settlements, which
have been approved by the FERC, provide for recoveries over a four-year period
that commenced in December 1993. The FERC has also permitted Natural to
implement, subject to possible refund, a tariff mechanism to recover additional
portions of its GSR costs in rates charged to transportation customers that
were not party to the settlements.
- - CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
BASIC CHEMICALS Chlorine and caustic soda are co-products that are
produced in roughly equal proportions known as electrochemical units (ECU). In
1994, demand for chlorine and chlorine-related derivatives continued to be
strong. For caustic soda, improved demand from the pulp and paper and export
aluminum industries, combined with general economic improvement, allowed for
improvement in margins and provided higher combined margins on an ECU basis.
Markets that offer the strongest outlet for chlorine production include
ethylene dichloride (EDC), vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), and PVC. EDC is a
precursor to VCM which, in turn, is used in the manufacture of PVC. Although
worldwide EDC pricing declined somewhat in 1994, chlorine and VCM prices
31
12
increased. Strong demand is expected to continue in 1995 for chlorine, EDC,
VCM and PVC.
Strong caustic soda demand should continue in 1995. Pricing will be
substantially higher entering into 1995 as the full impact of price increases
announced in 1994 take effect.
Due to strong demand, the chlorine and caustic soda industry operated
essentially at capacity in 1994. OxyChem expects to see little change in
operating rates in 1995.
Chlorine markets will continue to experience pressure from various
environmental groups and regulatory authorities seeking alternatives to, or
substitutes for, compounds containing chlorine. While demand in fact has fallen
in some market segments, such as pulp and paper, demand from the PVC industry
has more than offset those reductions. Occidental believes that the overall
market for chlorine will remain strong led by PVC demand.
The potassium hydroxide market, which includes end uses in the production
of soaps, liquid fertilizers and television tubes, is expected to continue to
grow at a rate of 3 to 4 percent in 1995.
PETROCHEMICALS The primary petrochemicals, such as ethylene, are
precursors to a wide variety of consumer and industrial products. This
relationship and the fact that petrochemicals account for more than 20 percent
of all chemicals in world trade make the domestic industry highly vulnerable to
fluctuations in worldwide economic conditions. Success for the petrochemical
industry in the late 1980s led to a series of capacity expansions resulting in
excess capacity and depressed margins through 1993. In 1994, however, while
industry ethylene capacity increased approximately 1.3 billion pounds (2.7
percent), demand grew by 6 percent. The overall result was that industry
operating rates improved from 90 to 93 percent, compared with 1993. Planned
maintenance and unplanned outages in the industry resulted in temporarily
reduced capacity, which made actual operating rates higher. Although lagging
behind the U.S. economic recovery, the current expansion of the economies in
Western Europe and the Far East is resulting in increased petrochemical demand
and improving utilization rates on a global basis as well as in the United
States.
In 1995, both demand and capacity are expected to grow in the 5 to 6
percent range with projected operating rates similar to those in 1994. OxyChem
is able to operate its ethylene plants at full capacity because it consumes all
the ethylene it produces, mainly for the manufacture of ethylene oxide and
ethylene glycol (used in antifreeze, polyester fibers, plastic bottles and
detergents), EDC and VCM.
Higher demand also resulted in higher prices for the major co-products of
ethylene--propylene, benzene and butadiene--as demand for their end uses--
styrene, phenol, polypropylene and acrylonitrile--increased in 1994. This
trend is expected to continue in 1995, allowing these co-products to contribute
to the enhancement of ethylene margins.
U.S. ethylene glycol demand increased approximately 10 percent in 1994,
relieving an excess capacity situation and allowing for some improvement in
margins.
POLYMERS & PLASTICS The demand for PVC, which is tied closely to
residential and commercial construction and automobile manufacturing, increased
by 9 percent in 1994. In addition to an improving domestic picture, worldwide
growth in demand for PVC resins is expected to continue. While this growth has
been fueled by advancements in less developed areas of the world, OxyChem
expects to see improvements in both Europe and Japan as their economies recover
from recession. Export demand is an important factor in the U.S. PVC industry.
Over the past decade, 10 to 14 percent of annual U.S. production was sold in
international markets. This pattern is expected to continue.
Based on the economic outlook for 1995, OxyChem expects continued demand
growth will push industry operating rates above the 95 percent level achieved
in 1994.
OxyChem's PVC business is well balanced in all the major end-use markets
and well supported by a completely integrated feedstock supply. OxyChem has
significant market share positions as a supplier in the following markets: PVC
pipe, vinyl siding, vinyl wall covering, sheet vinyl flooring, vinyl floor
tile, vinyl electrical insulation, PVC window frames and environmental liners.
STOCKHOLDERS AND MARKET DATA
Occidental's common stock was held by approximately 124,000 stockholders of
record at year-end 1994, with an estimated 237,000 additional stockholders
whose shares were held for them in street name or nominee accounts. The common
stock is listed and traded principally on the New York and Pacific stock
exchanges and also is listed on various foreign exchanges. The quarterly
financial data on pages 61 and 62 sets forth the range of trading prices for
the common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange's composite tape.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, all subsidiaries and Occidental's
proportionate interests in oil and gas exploration and production ventures
(Occidental). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. Investments in less than majority-owned enterprises, including
joint-interest pipelines, but excluding oil and gas exploration and production
ventures, are accounted for on the equity method (see Note 13).
Certain financial statements, notes and supplementary data for prior years
have been changed to conform to the 1994 presentation.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The functional currency applicable to
Occidental's foreign oil and gas operations is the U.S. dollar since cash
flows are denominated principally in U.S. dollars. Chemical operations in
Latin America use the U.S. dollar as the functional currency because of high
inflation rates. The effect of exchange-rate changes on transactions
denominated in nonfunctional currencies generated gains of approximately $14
million in 1994, $30 million in 1993 and $50 million in 1992, which were
mainly attributable to the highly inflationary economy of Brazil.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid
money-market mutual funds and bank deposits with initial maturities of three
months or less. Cash equivalents totaled approximately $180 million and $151
million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The cash and cash
equivalents balance as of December 31, 1994 included $26 million of restricted
cash obtained with the acquisition of Placid Oil Company (Placid).
A cash-management system is utilized to minimize the cash balances required
for operations and to invest the surplus cash in liquid short-term money-market
instruments and/or to pay down short-term borrowings. This can result in the
balance of short-term money-market instruments exceeding cash and cash
equivalents.
RECEIVABLES In October 1992, Occidental entered into an agreement to sell,
under a revolving sale program, an undivided percentage ownership interest in a
designated pool of domestic trade receivables, with limited recourse. Under
this program, Occidental has retained the collection responsibility with
respect to the receivables sold. An interest in new receivables is sold as
collections are made from customers. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
Occidental had received cash proceeds totaling $500 million, of which $100
million was received during the fourth quarter of 1993 and $400 million was
received during the fourth quarter of 1992. Fees and expenses related to the
sales of receivables under this program are included in selling, general and
administrative and other operating expenses. During the years ended December
31, 1994 and 1993, the cost of this program amounted to approximately 4.8
percent and 3.7 percent, respectively, of the weighted average amount of
proceeds received.
INVENTORIES Product and raw material inventories, except certain domestic
chemicals, are stated at cost determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) and
average-cost methods and did not exceed market value. The remaining product and
raw material inventories are stated at cost using the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method and also did not exceed market value. Inventories of materials and
supplies are valued at cost or less (see Note 5).
LONG-TERM RECEIVABLES Long-term receivables include amounts related to an
accounts receivable sale program and expected minimum recoveries from third
parties in connection with settlement of certain environmental liabilities.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property additions and major renewals and
improvements are capitalized at cost. Interest costs incurred in connection
with major capital expenditures are capitalized and amortized over the lives of
the related assets (see Note 15). Depreciation of oil and gas producing
properties and phosphate rock properties is determined principally by the
unit-of-production method and is based on estimated recoverable reserves. The
unit-of-production method of depreciation, based on estimated total productive
life, also is used for certain chemical plant and equipment. Depreciation of
other plant and equipment, including natural gas transmission facilities, has
been provided primarily using the straight-line method (see Note 4).
Oil and gas properties are accounted for using the successful-efforts
method. Costs of acquiring nonproducing acreage, costs of drilling successful
exploration wells and development costs are capitalized. Producing and
non-producing properties are evaluated periodically and, if conditions warrant,
an impairment reserve is provided. Annually, a determination is made whether it
is probable that significant impairment of the carrying cost for individual
fields or groups of fields has occurred, considering a number of factors,
including profitability, political risk and Occidental's estimate of future oil
and gas prices. If impairment is believed probable, a further analysis is
performed using Occidental's estimate of future oil and gas prices to determine
the impairment to be recorded for specific properties. Additionally, worldwide
oil and gas properties are impaired when undiscounted future net
38
19
cash flows, based upon the then-current oil and gas prices with no future
escalation, are less than the capitalized cost of such properties on an
aggregate basis. Annual lease rentals and exploration costs, including geologic
and geophysical costs and exploratory dry-hole costs, are expensed as incurred.
In 1986, Occidental acquired, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase,
MidCon Corp. (MidCon), a natural gas transmission company whose interstate
pipeline subsidiary is subject to rate regulation by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC). Accordingly, MidCon defers or capitalizes certain
costs in property, plant and equipment, the recovery of which is subject to the
rate-regulatory process. With respect to the interstate natural gas
transmission subsidiary of MidCon, the allocated purchase price, less
subsequent accumulated depreciation, exceeded the amount subject to recovery
through the rate-regulatory process by $4.3 billion and $4.4 billion at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. This excess amount as of December 31,
1994 is being depreciated over a remaining period of 39 years.
OTHER ASSETS Other assets include tangible assets, certain of which are
amortized over the estimated periods to be benefited, and deferred financing
costs.
NOTES PAYABLE Notes payable at December 31, 1994 and 1993 consisted of
short-term notes due to financial institutions and other corporations. The
balance includes amounts owed by subsidiaries whose economic environments are
highly inflationary resulting in high interest rates, which are largely offset
by the effects of inflation on funds borrowed. The weighted average interest
rate, net of associated foreign exchange gains in highly inflationary
countries, on short-term borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1994 and
1993 was 7.6 percent and 15.7 percent, respectively.
ACCRUED LIABILITIES--CURRENT Accrued liabilities include the following (in
millions):
Balance at December 31, 1994 1993
- ----------------------- ------- -------
Accrued payroll, commissions and related expenses $ 189 $ 156
Accrued interest expense $ 141 $ 117
Regulatory rate refunds $ 128 $ 43
------- -------
CONTRACT IMPAIRMENT RESERVE Accrued liabilities--current and other
liabilities--noncurrent include reserves for contract impairment at MidCon that
recognize the disadvantageous aspects of certain gas purchase and sales
contracts resulting from economic and regulatory conditions. The contract
impairment reserve includes reserves for a number of gas purchase contracts,
including "take-or-pay" obligations, and was initially established as part of
the purchase accounting for the acquisition of MidCon. Subsequent adjustments
to the reserve reflect the effects of settlements and changes to the expected
outcome of the matters covered by the reserve. The current and noncurrent
portions of the contract impairment reserve totaled approximately $4 million
and $137 million, respectively, at December 31, 1994, and $5 million and $160
million, respectively, at December 31, 1993. The noncurrent portion of the
reserve was reduced by $20 million in 1994 primarily to reflect the elimination
of certain potential claims and the settlement of litigation.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS Environmental expenditures that relate to current
operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate
to existing conditions caused by past operations and that do not contribute to
current or future revenue generation are expensed. Reserves for estimated costs
are recorded when environmental remedial efforts are probable and the costs can
be reasonably estimated. In determining the reserves, Occidental uses the most
current information available, including similar past experiences, available
technology, regulations in effect, the timing of remediation and cost-sharing
arrangements. The environmental reserves are based on management's estimate of
the most likely cost to be incurred and are reviewed periodically and adjusted
as additional or new information becomes available. Probable recoveries or
reimbursements are recorded as an asset. The environmental reserves are
included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities and amounted
to $113 million and $522 million, respectively, at December 31, 1994, and $119
million and $623 million, respectively, at December 31, 1993.
Environmental reserves are discounted only when the aggregate amount of the
estimated costs for a specific site and the timing of cash payments are
reliably determinable. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, reserves that were
recorded on a discounted basis were not material.
DISMANTLEMENT, RESTORATION AND RECLAMATION COSTS The estimated future
abandonment costs of oil and gas properties and removal costs for offshore
production platforms, net of salvage value, are accrued over their operating
lives. Such costs are calculated at unit-of-production rates based upon
estimated proved recoverable reserves and are taken into account in determining
depreciation, depletion and amortization. Similar reserves are provided for
restoration and reclamation of mining properties. For all other operations,
appropriate reserves are provided when a decision is taken to dispose of a
property, since Occidental makes capital renewal expenditures on
39

a continual basis while an asset is in operation. Such reserves are included in
accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities and amounted to $18
million and $219 million, respectively, at December 31, 1994, and $32 million
and $196 million, respectively, at December 31, 1993.
HEDGING ACTIVITIES Occidental periodically uses commodity futures contracts,
options and swaps to hedge the impact of oil and natural gas price fluctuations
and uses forward exchange contracts to hedge the risk associated with
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Gains and losses on commodity
futures contracts are deferred and recognized in income as an adjustment to
sales revenue or purchase costs when the related transaction being hedged is
finalized. Gains and losses on foreign currency forward exchange contracts that
hedge identifiable future commitments are deferred and recognized when the
related item being hedged is settled. All other contracts are recognized in
periodic income. The cash flows from such contracts are included in operating
activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Interest rate swaps are entered into on specific debt as part of
Occidental's overall strategy to maintain part of its debt on a floating rate
basis.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Earnings per common share was computed by dividing
net income, less preferred dividend requirements, by the weighted average
number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each
year: approximately 311 million in 1994, 305 million in 1993 and 302 million in
1992.
Fully diluted earnings per share was not presented, as the resulting
per-share amount did not differ by more than 3 percent from primary earnings
per share.
SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Cash payments during the years 1994, 1993
and 1992 included federal, foreign and state income taxes of approximately $133
million, $142 million and $109 million, respectively. Interest paid (net of
interest capitalized) totaled approximately $505 million, $531 million and $608
million for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. See Note 3 for detail
of noncash investing and financing activities regarding certain acquisitions in
1994.
NOTE 2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
COMMODITY FUTURES AND FORWARD CONTRACTS Occidental has three major business
segments, each of which has engaged, from time to time, in some form of
commodity derivative activity, generally limited to hedging arrangements.
During 1994, only the oil and gas and natural gas transmission segments engaged
in such activities. The oil and gas division engages in oil and gas trading
activity through the use of future purchase and sale contracts. The results
generally are not significant and are included in periodic income. The natural
gas transmission business segment (MidCon) uses commodity futures contracts,
options and swaps to hedge the impact of natural gas price fluctuations related
to three major categories of business: purchases for and sales from storage;
fixed sales and purchase contracts; and natural gas production.
STORAGE Storage activities consist of purchasing and injecting into storage,
on a net basis, 70 to 90 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas during the
months of April through October and withdrawing that gas for sale during the
period from November through March. These periods may vary depending primarily
on weather conditions in the market areas. MidCon uses derivatives to hedge the
summer-winter price differentials related to its storage program mainly through
forward contracts. The hedging contracts have terms of one to 18 months. Gains
and losses on these hedging contracts are deferred and recognized in income
when the transactions being hedged are finalized. A small number of options
were sold against inventory capacity or physical inventory with results
included in periodic income.
FIXED SALES AND PURCHASES Fixed gas sales and purchase contracts vary by
agreement. Hedges are placed nearly simultaneously with the consummation of
many of the sales-purchase agreements. Most agreements are for less than 18
months. The longest hedge agreement, with a remaining term of nine years,
involves a supply agreement for an electric generation facility where MidCon
has undertaken to supply gas at predetermined prices and has hedged such
commitments.
Gains and losses on these hedging contracts are deferred and recognized in
income when the transactions being hedged are finalized. Both New York
Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and over-the-counter (OTC) hedge instruments are
utilized.
PRODUCTION The natural gas transmission division manages the hedging program
for annual gas production after royalties, severance taxes and other deductions
of approximately 12 Bcf. This gas is produced fairly evenly throughout the
year. Depending on MidCon's view of price volatility and current futures prices
from the NYMEX,
40
21
portions of this production are hedged. Production past 18 months into the
future is not hedged. Gains and losses on these hedging contracts are deferred
and recognized in income when the transactions being hedged are finalized.
All of the hedging activity described herein is matched to physical natural
gas buying and selling activity. Hedges are done strictly with natural gas
futures or derivative instruments. There is essentially no discrepancy with
regard to timing, i.e., hedges are placed for the same month in which the price
risk for the underlying physical movement is anticipated to occur, based on
analysis of sales and purchase contracts and historical data. Hedges are
removed upon consummation of the underlying physical activity. All deferred
gains or losses are then recognized. Because the commodity covered by the NYMEX
natural gas futures contract is substantially the same commodity that MidCon
buys and sells in the physical market, no special correlation studies, other
than monitoring the degree of convergence between the futures and the cash
markets, were deemed necessary. NYMEX futures and options are valued using
settlement prices published by the exchange. OTC options are valued using a
standard option pricing model that requires published exchange prices, market
volatility per broker quotes and the time value of money as inputs. Swaps are
valued by comparing current broker quotes for price or basis with the
corresponding price or basis per the swap agreement, and then discounting the
result to present value.
Although futures and options traded on the NYMEX are included in the table
below, they are not financial instruments as defined in generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) since physical delivery of natural gas may be, and
occasionally is, made pursuant to these contracts. However, they are a major
part of MidCon's commodity risk management program.
The following table summarizes the types of hedges used and the related
financial information as of December 31, 1994:
Over-the-
Notional volumes in Bcf Hedges of NYMEX(a) Counter(b) Total
- ----------------------- --------- --------- --------- ---------

--------- --------- --------- ---------
(a) Not financial instruments as defined in GAAP but included as they are a major part of the program.
(b) Excluding the nine-year swap agreement, the average weighted term is less than 12 months. Ninety percent of the
notional volumes are hedged with counterparties with a single A or better credit rating.
(c) Basis swaps are utilized to hedge the geographic price differentials due primarily to transportation cost and
local supply-demand imbalances. Basis swaps are primarily used when the underlying volumes have been hedged for
price risk.
FORWARD EXCHANGE AND INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS Occidental is engaged in both
oil and gas and chemical activities internationally. International oil and gas
transactions are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars; consequently, foreign
currency exposure is not deemed material. Many of Occidental's foreign chemical
operations and foreign oil and gas operations are located in Latin America and
other developing countries whose currencies generally depreciate against the
U.S. dollar on a continuing basis. An effective currency forward market does
not exist for these countries; therefore, Occidental attempts to manage its
exposure primarily by balancing monetary assets and liabilities and maintaining
cash positions only at levels necessary for operating purposes. At December 31,
1994, Occidental had foreign currency forward exchange contracts, all of which
will mature in 1995, totaling $500,000 of purchases and $24 million of sales,
which essentially hedged foreign currency denominated receivables.
41
22
Additionally, from time to time, Occidental enters into interest rate swap
agreements. In November 1993, Occidental entered into interest rate swaps on
newly issued fixed-rate debt for notional amounts totaling $530 million,
converting this fixed-rate debt into variable-rate borrowings, based on the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), with interest rates ranging from 5.9
percent to 6.1 percent at December 31, 1994. These agreements mature at various
dates from 1998 through 2000. Notional amounts do not represent cash flow and
are not subject to credit risk. Credit risk exposure is limited to the net
interest differentials, which are reflected in interest expense. The swap rate
difference resulted in approximately $6 million and $1 million savings in
interest expense for 1994 and 1993, respectively, compared to what interest
expense would have been had the debt remained at fixed rates. The impact of the
swap on the weighted average interest rates for 1994 and 1993 was not
significant.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Occidental values financial instruments
as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107. The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and short-term notes payable
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Occidental estimates the fair value of its senior funded debt based on the
quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the yields offered to
Occidental for debt of similar rating and similar remaining maturities. The
estimated fair value of Occidental's senior funded debt at December 31, 1994
was $6.059 billion, compared with a carrying value of $5.823 billion. The fair
value of interest rate swaps is the amount at which they could be settled,
based on estimates obtained from dealers. Based on these estimates at December
31, 1994, Occidental would be required to pay approximately $54 million to
terminate its interest rate swap agreements. Occidental will continue its
strategy of maintaining part of its debt on a floating rate basis and therefore
intends to hold these agreements to maturity.
The carrying value of other on-balance sheet financial instruments
approximates fair value and the cost, if any, to terminate off-balance sheet
financial instruments is not significant.
NOTE 3 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSET
DISPOSITIONS
On December 29, 1994, Occidental acquired Placid for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $250 million through the issuance of 3,606,484 shares of
$3.875 cumulative convertible voting preferred stock, with a value of $175
million, and the balance through the issuance of 3,835,941 shares of Occidental
common stock.
Placid has oil and gas exploration and production properties primarily in
the U.S. Gulf Coast and the Netherlands. These properties have proved reserves
of approximately 12 million barrels of oil and 242 Bcf of natural gas. Placid
also has an approximate 39 percent interest in a major pipeline system in the
Dutch sector of the North Sea, which includes 170 miles of main and feeder
lines.
The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method. Accordingly,
the cost of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based upon their estimated respective fair values. The
allocation of the purchase price will be finalized during 1995 upon completion
of the asset valuations and resolution of the preacquisition contingencies, if
any.
On a pro forma basis the Placid acquisition would not have had a
significant effect on Occidental's consolidated results for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 1994.
In late March 1994, Occidental acquired interests in certain U.S.
Gulf Coast oil and gas properties from Agip Petroleum Co. Inc. for a
purchase price of $161 million through the issuance of 5,150,602 shares of
Occidental common stock and the balance paid in cash.
In 1994, the pretax gains of $15 million on dispositions of assets
primarily resulted from the sale of Occidental's remaining interests in its
producing operations in Argentina.
In July 1993, Occidental sold Island Creek Coal, Inc. (Island Creek) to
CONSOL Inc. Following the closing of the sale, Occidental re-evaluated the
adequacy of the reserves recorded in the fourth quarter of 1992 related to the
decision to exit the coal business and reversed certain reserves no longer
required. After recognizing the effect of the sale and the reversal of
reserves, an after-tax benefit of $221 million was included in discontinued
operations.
The $622 million net loss in 1992 from discontinued operations included an
after-tax charge of $600 million to provide for a write-down in the value of
the coal assets and for anticipated liabilities associated with the coal
operations and a net loss from the coal operations of $22 million for the year.
In 1993, the pretax gains of $54 million on dispositions of assets
primarily resulted from the sale of Occidental's equity interest in Trident
NGL, Inc. (Trident).
In 1992, the pretax gains of $215 million on dispositions of assets
primarily resulted from the sale of 12 million shares of Occidental's holdings
in Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd. (CanadianOxy) and the receipt of a
contingent payment in connection with the 1985 sale of a subsidiary that owned
one half of Occidental's Colombian operations.

NOTE 4 EXTRAORDINARY GAIN (LOSS) AND ACCOUNTING CHANGES
The 1993 and 1992 results included net extraordinary losses of $12 million
and $2 million, respectively, which resulted from the early extinguishment of
debt.
Beginning in 1994, Occidental revised the estimated average useful lives
used to compute depreciation for most of its chemical machinery and equipment
from 20 years to 25 years and for most of its natural gas transmission property
to a remaining life of 40 years. These revisions were made to more properly
reflect the current economic lives of the assets based on anticipated industry
conditions. The result was a reduction in net loss for the year ended December
31, 1994 of approximately $65 million, or approximately $.21 per share. Natural
gas transmission and chemical divisional earnings benefited by approximately
$31 million and $34 million, respectively.
In December 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
112--"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," which substantially
changed the existing method of accounting for employer benefits provided to
inactive or former employees after active employment but before retirement.
This statement requires that the cost of postemployment benefits (principally
medical benefits for inactive employees) be recognized in the financial
statements during employees' active working careers. Occidental's adoption of
SFAS No. 112, effective January 1, 1994, did not have a material impact on
Occidental's financial position or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 1992, Occidental adopted the requirements of SFAS No.
106--"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions"
on the immediate-recognition basis. This statement required that the cost of
these benefits, which are primarily health care related, be recognized in the
financial statements during the employees' active working careers. Occidental
recorded a charge of $513 million ($1.70 per share), net of a $284 million
income tax benefit, as of January 1, 1992 to reflect the cumulative effect of
this change in accounting principle. In addition to the cumulative effect,
Occidental's 1992 postretirement health care and life insurance costs
increased, for financial reporting purposes, by $16 million ($24 million
pretax) as a result of adopting the new standard (see Note 12).
Effective January 1, 1992, Occidental adopted SFAS No. 109--"Accounting
for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach in accounting
for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized, at
enacted rates, to reflect the future effects of tax carryforwards and temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts at each year-end. SFAS No. 109 required the
restatement of assets and liabilities related to purchased businesses to
eliminate the previously used net-of-tax accounting for such assets and
liabilities, resulting in higher carrying values and therefore in higher
operating charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization but lower tax
expense. This statement also eliminated the concept of the utilization of net
operating loss carryforwards for accounting purposes, which were previously
reported as extraordinary items, by requiring the immediate recognition of
losses in the year incurred, subject to realization. The effect of adopting
SFAS No. 109 was to decrease 1992 pretax income from continuing operations by
$35 million for the year. In addition, Occidental recorded a benefit of $420
million ($1.39 per share) to reflect, as of January 1, 1992, the cumulative
effect of this accounting change (see Note 10).
NOTE 5 INVENTORIES
Inventories of approximately $241 million and $315 million were valued
under the LIFO method at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Inventories consisted of the following (in millions):
Balance at December 31, 1994 1993
- ----------------------- --------- ---------
Raw materials $ 135 $ 115
Materials and supplies 201 191

LIFO reserve (37) (40)
--------- ---------
Total $ 748 $ 791
========= =========
During 1994, inventory quantities were reduced at natural gas transmission.
These reductions resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried
at lower costs that prevailed in prior years. The effect of this liquidation
was to reduce cost of sales by $13 million for the year ended December 31,
1994.

======= =======
At December 31, 1994, $622 million of commercial paper and other notes due
in 1995 were classified as noncurrent since it is management's intention to
refinance this amount on a long-term basis, initially utilizing an available
line of bank credit with a maturity extending to 1999; therefore, the $622
million is included in the 1999 principal amount discussed below.
At December 31, 1994, minimum principal payments on senior funded debt,
including sinking fund requirements, subsequent to December 31, 1995
aggregated $5.986 billion, of which $48 million is due in 1996, $323 million in
1997, $641 million in 1998, $1.427 billion in 1999, $353 million in 2000 and
$3.194 billion thereafter. Unamortized discount is generally being amortized to
interest expense on the effective interest method over the lives of the related
issues.
At December 31, 1994, under the most restrictive covenants of certain
financing agreements, the capacity for the payment of cash dividends and other
distributions on, and for acquisitions of, Occidental's capital stock was
44
25
approximately $1.8 billion, assuming that such dividends, distributions and
acquisitions were made without incurring additional borrowings.
At December 31, 1994, Occidental had available lines of committed bank
credit of approximately $2.2 billion, net of $430 million representing amounts
utilized to support commercial paper borrowings. Bank fees on committed lines
of credit ranged from 0.125 percent to 0.25 percent.
NOTE 7 LEASE COMMITMENTS
The present value of net minimum lease payments, net of the current
portion, totaled $291 million and $319 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
Operating and capital lease agreements frequently include renewal and/or
purchase options and require Occidental to pay for utilities, taxes, insurance
and maintenance expense.
At December 31, 1994, future net minimum lease payments for capital and
operating leases (excluding oil and gas and other mineral leases) were the
following (in millions):

Included in the 1994 and 1993 property, plant and equipment accounts were
$465 million of property leased under capital leases and $130 million and $108
million, respectively, of related accumulated amortization.
NOTE 8 LAWSUITS, CLAIMS AND RELATED MATTERS
Occidental and certain of its subsidiaries have been named in a substantial
number of governmental proceedings as defendants or potentially responsible
parties under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act (CERCLA) and corresponding state acts. These proceedings seek
funding, remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property
damage, punitive damages and civil penalties, aggregating substantial amounts.
Occidental is usually one of many companies in these proceedings, and has to
date been successful in sharing response costs with other financially sound
companies. Occidental has accrued reserves at the most likely cost to be
incurred in those proceedings where it is probable that Occidental will incur
remediation costs which can be reasonably estimated. For the remaining
proceedings, as to which Occidental does not have sufficient information to
determine a range of liability, Occidental does have sufficient information on
which to base the opinion expressed in the last paragraph of this Note.
There is a currently pending action seeking relief for remedial and
response measures under federal environmental laws brought by the federal
government in 1979 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New
York against Occidental Chemical Corporation (OCC), Occidental and others,
regarding a former chemical waste landfill. The federal government is claiming
$108 million, plus an estimated $90 million in pre-judgment interest. The court
has held OCC jointly and severally liable under CERCLA for response costs, but
OCC has asserted a counterclaim against the federal government for its
responsibility arising from direct deposits of waste and the performance of
wartime contracts. The amount of liability of OCC and the federal government,
respectively, will be determined in a subsequent trial. In July 1994, the Court
approved a settlement between OCC and the State of New York which resolved all
respective claims that had been asserted between them in this action.
Approximately 1,000 past and present residents of areas adjacent to this site
and another former
45
26
chemical landfill site continue to pursue actions brought in the Supreme Court,
Niagara County, New York, against OCC and, in some instances, Occidental and
others, claiming damages for personal injuries or wrongful death and property
damages allegedly resulting from exposure to chemical residues, as well as
punitive damages. The Occidental defendants deny liability in these actions.
Occidental has brought an action against various of its insurers in the same
court to enforce coverage with respect to this site, certain other former
landfill sites and two chemical plants, including the foregoing government and
private actions in New York, which the insurers are defending.
In 1988, the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) of the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) issued a remedial order to Cities Service Oil and Gas Corporation,
now OXY USA Inc. (OXY USA), asserting that certain crude oil tier trades by OXY
USA between 1979 and 1981 violated the DOE's petroleum price regulations and
ordering OXY USA to make restitution. In 1992, an administrative law judge
(ALJ) upheld most of the remedial order. In December 1993, the FERC reversed
the ALJ decision and the remedial order, and held that there had been no
violation of the price regulations. In 1994, the FERC denied all motions for
reconsideration and two groups of intervenors subsequently filed for judicial
review of the FERC orders in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia. In 1992, the DOE proposed a revised remedial order to seek recovery
of substantially the same amounts for most of these same tier trades under an
alternative theory, alleging violation of certain regulations relating to the
certification of crude oil to the DOE's crude oil entitlements program, which
is contested by OXY USA. The amount sought by the DOE in the proposed revised
remedial order, which is now before the OHA, was approximately $254 million
plus accrued interest amounting to approximately $868.5 million at December 31,
1994.
OCC and affiliated entities produced products containing
dibromochloropropane (DBCP) until 1977 when the State of California banned
DBCP. This pesticide was developed and initially registered by other chemical
companies, produced by several major U.S. chemical companies and distributed by
many U.S. companies. Twenty public and private water providers have filed
actions against the developers, producers and distributors of DBCP, including
OCC and Occidental, in Superior Court, San Francisco County, California.
Currently, there are approximately 100 wells of such providers which exceed
California's maximum contaminant level. The actions allege DBCP contamination
of water supplies and seek contribution from all defendants for remediation
costs, including filtering of affected wells, and punitive damages.
It is impossible at this time to determine the ultimate legal liabilities
that may arise from the lawsuits, proceedings and claims discussed above or
from various other lawsuits and proceedings pending against Occidental and its
subsidiaries, some of which involve substantial amounts. However, in
management's opinion, after taking into account reserves, none of the lawsuits,
proceedings and claims specifically discussed above nor the various other
pending lawsuits and proceedings should have a material adverse effect upon the
consolidated financial position of Occidental, although the resolution in any
reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material impact
on Occidental's results of operations for that period.
NOTE 9 OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At December 31, 1994, commitments for major capital expenditures during
1995 and thereafter were approximately $438 million, which included
Occidental's oil and gas development commitments in Qatar and Venezuela.
Occidental has entered into agreements providing for future payments to secure
terminal and pipeline capacity, drilling services, electrical power and steam.
At December 31, 1994, the net present value of the fixed and determinable
portion of the obligations under these agreements aggregated $138 million,
which was payable as follows (in millions): 1995--$19, 1996--$17, 1997--$15,
1998--$14, 1999--$12 and 2000 through 2014--$61. Payments under these
agreements were $23 million in 1994, $38 million in 1993 and $21 million in
1992.
Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (Natural) is a party to a number of
contracts that require Natural to purchase natural gas at prices in excess of
the prevailing market price. As a result of a FERC order prohibiting interstate
pipelines from using their gas transportation and storage facilities to market
gas to sales customers, Natural no longer has a sales market for the gas it is
required to purchase under these contracts. This order went into effect on
Natural's system on December 1, 1993. Natural is incurring substantial
transition costs to reform these contracts with gas suppliers. Settlement
agreements reached by Natural and its former sales customers, under which
Natural will recover from those customers over a four-year period a significant
amount of the gas supply realignment (GSR) costs it incurs, have been approved
by the FERC. The FERC has also permitted Natural to implement, subject to
possible refund, a tariff mechanism to recover additional portions of its GSR
costs in rates charged to transportation customers that were not party to the
settlements.
Occidental has certain other commitments under contracts, guarantees and
joint ventures, including a rent-free lease of a building contiguous with
corporate headquarters with a remaining term of 26 years, as well as other
contingent liabilities.
In management's opinion, after taking into account reserves, none of such
commitments and contingencies discussed above should have a material adverse
effect upon the consolidated financial position of Occidental, although the
resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a
material impact on Occidental's results of operations for that period.

The credit provision for foreign income tax in 1993 reflected the reversal
of $130 million of foreign tax reserves following the settlement of tax matters
with foreign jurisdictions relating to the disposition of certain international
oil and gas assets in 1991. Deferred U.S. federal income tax included a charge
of $45 million relative to this reversal.

As discussed in Note 4, Occidental adopted SFAS No. 109 as of January 1,
1992, and the cumulative effect of this change is reported in the 1992
consolidated statement of operations. The tax effects of temporary differences

Included in total deferred tax assets was a current portion aggregating $285
million and $172 million as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, that
was reported in prepaid expenses and other.
A deferred tax liability of approximately $55 million at December 31, 1994
has not been recognized for temporary differences related to Occidental's
investment in certain foreign subsidiaries primarily as a result of unremitted
earnings of consolidated subsidiaries, as it is Occidental's intention,
generally, to reinvest such earnings permanently.
The pension liability adjustments charged directly to retained earnings in
1994, 1993 and 1992 were net of income tax benefits of $6 million, $8 million
and $4 million, respectively.
Discontinued operations included an income tax expense of $123 million in
1993 and an income tax benefit of $330 million in 1992.
The extraordinary losses that resulted from the early extinguishment of debt
were reduced by income tax benefits of $7 million and $1 million in 1993 and
1992, respectively.
At December 31, 1994, Occidental had, for U.S. federal income tax return
purposes, a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $650 million, a
business tax credit carryforward of $65 million and an alternative minimum tax
credit carryforward of $240 million available to reduce future income taxes. To
the extent not used, the net operating loss carryforward expires in varying
amounts beginning in 2002 and the business tax credit expires in varying
amounts during the years 1996 through 2001. The alternative minimum tax credit
carryforward does not expire.
Occidental is subject to audit by taxing authorities for varying periods in
various tax jurisdictions. Management believes that any required adjustments to
Occidental's tax liabilities will not have a material adverse impact on its
financial position or results of operations.

Occidental has authorized 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a
par value of $1.00 per share. In February 1994, Occidental issued 11,388,340
shares of $3.00 cumulative CXY-indexed convertible preferred stock in a public
offering for net proceeds of approximately $557 million. The shares are
convertible into Occidental common stock in accordance with a conversion
formula that is indexed to the market price of the common shares of
CanadianOxy. In addition, the shares, which are not subject to any sinking fund
or mandatory redemption requirements, have a liquidation preference of $50.00
per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The shares of CXY-indexed
convertible preferred stock are redeemable on or after January 1, 1999, in
whole or in part, at the option of Occidental, at a redemption price of $51.50
per share declining ratably to $50.00 per share on or after January 1, 2004, in
each case plus accumulated and unpaid dividends to the redemption date. Each
holder of shares of the CXY-indexed convertible preferred stock has the right,
at such holder's option, to convert the shares held, at any time, unless
previously redeemed, into a number of shares of Occidental common stock
currently determined by multiplying the Conversion Ratio by the aggregate
number of shares being converted by the holder. The Conversion Ratio is the
product of (i) the Price Ratio (as defined, generally the market price,
calculated in a specified manner, of one CanadianOxy common share over the
market price, calculated in a specified manner, of one share of Occidental
common stock) and (ii) the Share Factor (as defined, initially 1.766, subject
to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the CanadianOxy
common shares). As of December 31, 1994, the aggregate number of shares of
Occidental common stock issuable upon conversion of all of the issued and
outstanding shares of the CXY-indexed convertible preferred stock was
23,106,942, based on the Conversion Ratio then in effect of 2.029. Dividends on
the CXY-indexed convertible preferred stock at an annual rate of $3.00 per
share are cumulative and are payable quarterly in arrears, when and as declared
by Occidental's Board of Directors. Holders of the CXY-indexed convertible
preferred stock have no voting rights, except in certain circumstances;
however, holders of such series, voting separately as a class with all other
affected classes or series of preferred stock upon which like voting rights
have been conferred and are exercisable, are entitled to elect two additional
directors if the equivalent of six quarterly dividends on the CXY-indexed
convertible preferred stock are accumulated and unpaid.
In December 1994, Occidental issued 3,606,484 shares of $3.875
cumulative convertible voting preferred stock in connection with the Placid
acquisition. In February 1993, Occidental issued 11,500,000 shares of $3.875
cumulative convertible preferred stock. The shares of both series are
redeemable on or after February 18, 1998, in whole or in part, at the option of
Occidental, at a redemption price of $51.9375 per share declining ratably to
$50.00 per share on or after February 18, 2003, in each case plus accumulated
and unpaid dividends to the redemption date. Each series of $3.875 preferred
stock has a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share, plus accumulated and
unpaid dividends, and is convertible at the option of the holder into common
stock of Occidental at a conversion price of $22.76 per share, subject to
adjustment in certain events. Dividends on each series of the $3.875 preferred
stock at an annual rate of $3.875 per share are cumulative and are payable
quarterly in arrears, when and as declared by Occidental's Board of Directors.
Holders of the $3.875 cumulative convertible preferred stock have no voting
rights, except in certain circumstances. Holders of the $3.875 cumulative
convertible voting preferred stock, voting separately as a class with the
Occidental common stock and all other classes or series of preferred stock upon
which like voting rights may be conferred, have the right to vote for the
election of directors and for all other purposes. Holders of each series of
$3.875 preferred stock, voting separately as a class with all other affected
classes or series of preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been
conferred and are exercisable, are entitled to elect two additional directors
if the equivalent of six quarterly dividends on such series of $3.875 preferred
stock are accumulated and unpaid.
In 1992, Occidental redeemed all of its outstanding $12.00 cumulative
preferred stock. Occidental had 400,000 shares of $12.00 cumulative preferred
stock outstanding until redemption in September 1992, with a carrying value of
$40 million.
In 1986, pursuant to a stockholders' rights plan, a dividend of one
stock purchase right (right) on each outstanding share of Occidental's common
stock was issued. Similar rights have been, and generally will be, issued in
respect of shares of common stock subsequently issued. Each right becomes
exercisable, upon the occurrence of certain events, for one one-hundredth of a
share of Series A junior participating preferred stock, par value $1.00 per
share, at a purchase price of $80.00 or, under certain circumstances, common
stock or other securities, cash or other assets having a then-current market
price (as defined and subject to adjustment) equal to twice such purchase
price. The rights currently are not exercisable and will be exercisable only if
a person or group either acquires beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of
Occidental's common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer that would
result in ownership of 30 percent or more. The rights, which expire in October
1996, are redeemable in whole, but not in part, at Occidental's option at any
time for a price of $.05 per right.

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS Options to purchase common
stock of Occidental have been granted to officers and employees under stock
option plans adopted in 1978 and 1987. During 1994, options for 873,662 shares
became exercisable, and options for 3,374,181 shares were exercisable at
December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1994, options for 1,398,330 shares were
outstanding with stock appreciation rights, of which options for 1,293,669
shares were exercisable.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN Occidental has a stock incentive plan whereby a limited
number of executives may be awarded Occidental common stock at the par value of
$.20 per share, with such shares vesting after five years or earlier under
certain conditions. The related expense is amortized over the vesting period.
Under the plan, a total of approximately 2,731,280 shares may be awarded;
278,653 shares were awarded in 1994; and 518,836 shares were available at
December 31, 1994, for the granting of future awards.
NOTE 12 RETIREMENT PLANS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Occidental has various defined contribution retirement plans for its
salaried, domestic union and nonunion hourly, and certain foreign national
employees that provide for periodic contributions by Occidental based on
plan-specific criteria, such as base pay, age level and/or employee
contributions. Occidental contributed and expensed $70 million, $61 million and
$80 million under the provisions of these plans for 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Changes in the amounts expensed reflected lower employee levels,
changes in the employer contribution levels and implementation in 1992 of a new
plan for domestic union employees.
Pension costs for Occidental's defined benefit pension plans, determined
by independent actuarial valuations, are funded by payments to trust funds,
which are administered by independent trustees. The components of the net
pension cost for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were as follows (in millions):

In 1994, 1993 and 1992, Occidental recorded adjustments to retained
earnings of $10 million, $14 million and $9 million, respectively, to reflect
the net-of-tax difference between the additional liability required under
pension accounting provisions and the corresponding intangible asset.

(b) A related amount up to the limit allowable under SFAS No. 87--"Employers' Accounting for Pensions" has been
included in other assets. Amounts exceeding such limits have been charged to retained earnings.
The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the
projected benefit obligations was 7.5 percent in 1994 and 1993 and 8.5 percent
in 1992. The rate of increase in future compensation levels used in determining
the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligations was between 5
percent and 6 percent in 1994, 1993 and 1992. The expected long-term rate of
return on assets was 8 percent in 1994, between 8 percent and 8.5 percent in
1993 and between 8 percent and 10 percent in 1992.
Occidental provides medical, dental and life insurance for certain active,
retired and disabled employees and their eligible dependents. Beginning in
1993, certain salaried participants pay for all medical cost increases in
excess of increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The benefits generally
are funded by Occidental as the benefits are paid during the year. The cost of
providing these benefits is based on claims filed and insurance premiums paid
for the period. The total benefits costs were approximately $124 million in
1994 and 1993 and $196 million in 1992. The 1994, 1993 and 1992 costs included
$54 million, $50 million and $80 million, respectively, for postretirement
costs, as discussed below. The 1992 amount included costs for the discontinued
coal operation.
As discussed in Note 4, effective January 1, 1992, Occidental adopted SFAS
No. 106. This statement required that the cost of postretirement benefits other
than pensions, which are primarily for health care, be accrued as a form of
deferred compensation earned during the period that employees render service,
rather than the previously permitted practice of accounting for such costs as
claims were paid. Occidental elected immediate recognition of the net
obligation at January 1, 1992. The related charge included a previously
unrecognized accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of $513 million, net
of a $284 million income tax benefit.
The postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 was
determined by application of the terms of medical, dental and life insurance
plans, including the effect of established maximums on covered costs, together
with relevant actuarial assumptions and health care cost trend rates projected
at a CPI increase of 4 percent (except for union employees). For union
employees, the health care cost trend rates were projected at annual rates
ranging ratably from 12 percent in 1994 to 6 percent through the year 2002 and
level thereafter. The effect of a 1 percent annual increase in these assumed
cost trend rates would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation by approximately $22 million in 1994; the annual service and
interest costs would not be materially affected. The weighted average discount
rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993 was 7.5 percent. Occidental's funding policy
generally is to pay claims as they come due. However in 1994 and 1993, MidCon
prefunded certain postretirement benefits associated with its regulated
operations. Assets are invested in short-term securities.

NOTE 13 INVESTMENTS
Investments in companies in which Occidental has a voting stock interest of
at least 20 percent, but not more than 50 percent, and certain partnerships are
accounted for on the equity method. At December 31, 1994, Occidental's equity
investments consisted primarily of joint-interest pipelines, including a
pipeline in the Dutch sector of the North Sea, an investment of approximately
30 percent in the common shares of CanadianOxy and a chemical partnership. In
the second quarter of 1993, Occidental sold its 45 percent nonvoting interest
in Trident. The investment in Trident was in its preferred stock, and
accordingly, no equity earnings had been recorded. In 1992, Occidental sold 12
million shares of its holdings in CanadianOxy. Equity investments paid
dividends of $45 million, $33 million and $60 million to Occidental in 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively. Cumulative undistributed earnings since
acquisition, in the amount of $102 million, of 50-percent-or-less-owned
companies have been accounted for by Occidental under the equity method. At
December 31, 1994, Occidental's investment in equity investees exceeded the
historical underlying equity in net assets by approximately $150 million, which
is being amortized into income over periods not exceeding 40 years. The
aggregate market value of the investment in CanadianOxy, based on the quoted
market price for CanadianOxy common shares, was $453 million at December 31,
1994, compared with an aggregate book value of $185 million. Occidental and its
subsidiaries' purchases from, and sales to, certain equity method pipeline
ventures and the chemical partnership were $202 million and $225 million,
respectively, during the year ended December 31, 1994.

NOTE 15 INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS
Occidental conducts its continuing operations through three industry
segments: oil and gas, natural gas transmission and chemical. The oil and gas
segment explores for, develops, produces and markets crude oil and natural gas
domestically and internationally. The natural gas transmission segment engages
in interstate and intrastate natural gas transmission and marketing through an
extensive network of pipelines. The chemical segment manufactures and markets,
domestically and internationally, a variety of basic chemicals, petrochemicals,
and polymers and plastics.
Earnings of industry segments and geographic areas exclude interest income,
interest expense, unallocated corporate expenses, discontinued operations,
extraordinary items, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles
and income from equity investments, but include gains from dispositions of
segment and geographic area assets (see Note 3). Intersegment sales and
transfers between geographic areas are made at prices approximating current
market values and are not significant.
Foreign income and other taxes and certain state taxes are included in
segments and geographic areas on the basis of operating results. Beginning in
1992, in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 109, Occidental changed its
method of allocating to its operating segments charges in lieu of U.S. federal
income taxes. Under this method, amounts are allocated to the segments only to
the extent of the tax effect of operating charges and credits resulting from

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors, Occidental Petroleum Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OCCIDENTAL
PETROLEUM CORPORATION (a Delaware corporation) and consolidated subsidiaries as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, nonredeemable preferred stock, common stock and other stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1994 (included on pages 33 through 59). These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Occidental Petroleum
Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 and No.
109 effective January 1, 1992.

windfall profit tax refund, $10 million from the reversal of a plant closure reserve no longer deemed necessary and
$8 million from the reversal of a tax-related reserve no longer required.
(d) Includes an after-tax benefit of $181 million, reported as discontinued operations, for the reversal of reserves no
longer required and for recognizing the effect of the sale of Island Creek, partially offset by a onetime noncash charge
of $55 million to adjust net deferred tax liabilities following the enactment of tax legislation in August 1993 and an
$18 million charge for environmental remediation and litigation matters in the oil and gas division.
(e) Includes after-tax benefits of $85 million resulting from a reversal of foreign tax reserves following the settlement of
tax matters with foreign jurisdictions relating to the disposition of certain international oil and gas assets in 1991 and
$40 million, reported as discontinued operations, for the reversal of reserves no longer required following the sale of
Island Creek and a $6 million pretax benefit resulting from the reversal of a plant closure reserve no longer deemed necessary,
partially offset by a $6 million charge for environmental remediation and litigation matters in the oil and gas division.

SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (Unaudited)
The following tables set forth Occidental's net interests in quantities of
proved developed and undeveloped reserves of crude oil, condensate, natural gas
liquids and natural gas and changes in such quantities. Crude oil reserves (in
millions of barrels) include condensate and natural gas liquids, except for the
United States, where crude oil reserves include only condensate. Natural gas
reserves (in billions of cubic feet) in the United States are presented on a
wet-gas basis (including leasehold natural gas liquids reserves), whereas
natural gas reserves in other locations exclude natural gas liquids. The
reserves are stated after applicable royalties. Estimates of reserves have been
made by Occidental engineers. These estimates include reserves in which
Occidental holds an economic interest under service contracts and other
arrangements.

STANDARDIZED MEASURE, INCLUDING YEAR-TO-YEAR CHANGES THEREIN, OF DISCOUNTED
FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS For purposes of the following disclosures, estimates
were made of quantities of proved reserves and the periods during which they are
expected to be produced. Future cash flows were computed by applying year-end
prices to Occidental's share of estimated annual future production from proved
oil and gas reserves, net of royalties. Future development and production costs
were computed by applying year-end costs to be incurred in producing and further
developing the proved reserves. Future income tax expenses were computed by
applying, generally, year-end statutory tax rates (adjusted for permanent
differences, tax credits and allowances) to the estimated net future pretax cash
flows. The discount was computed by application of a 10 percent discount factor.
The calculations assumed the continuation of existing economic, operating and
contractual conditions at each of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, except for
an Eastern Hemisphere location where, because of government restrictions on
contractual benefits, management has made operating estimates lower than those
contractually allowed. However, such arbitrary assumptions have not necessarily
proven to be the case in the past. Other assumptions of equal validity would
give rise to substantially different results.
