(i) 3 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. -6- 9 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. Principal Products OxyChem produces the following chemical products:

-12- 15 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. -15- 18 ITEM 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of Occidental's security holders during the fourth quarter of 1994.

-19- 22 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.

     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.

    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.

                                      3


   


     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.

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

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.

     (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.

     (g) Prior Notice of Certain Events.  In case:

          (i) CanadianOxy shall (A) declare any dividend or any other
     distribution on the CanadianOxy Common Shares (other than (x) a dividend 
     or other distribution payable in CanadianOxy Common Shares or (y) a Reg-
     ular Cash Dividend on CanadianOxy Common Shares), (B) declare or authorize
     a redemption or repurchase of in excess of 10% of the then outstanding
     CanadianOxy Common Shares, or (C) authorize the granting to all holders of
     CanadianOxy Common Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or
     purchase any shares of stock of any class or of any other rights or
     warrants; or

          (ii) the Corporation or the Successor, as the case may be, shall (A)
     declare any dividend or any other distribution on the Occidental Common
     Stock (other than (x) a dividend or other distribution payable in shares 
     of Occidental Common Stock, (y) a Regular Cash Dividend on Occidental Com-
     mon Stock or (z) a dividend or other distribution of Rights that at the 
     time are not exercisable or tradeable separately from the Occidental Com-
     mon Stock), (B) declare or authorize a redemption or repurchase of in 
     excess of 10% of the then outstanding shares of Occidental Common Stock, 
     or (C) authorize the granting to all holders of Occidental Common Stock of
     rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any
     class or any other rights or warrants (other than Rights); or

          (iii) of any reclassification of CanadianOxy Common Shares or
     Occidental Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the
     outstanding CanadianOxy Common Shares or the outstanding Occidental 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 CanadianOxy or the Corporation is a party and for which approval of
     any stockholders of CanadianOxy or the Corporation, as the case may be, 
     shall be required, or of any compulsory share exchange whereby CanadianOxy
     Common Shares or Occidental Common Stock is converted into other sec-
     urities, cash or other property; or

          (iv) of a Liquidation or a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
     (whether voluntary or involuntary) of CanadianOxy;

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, date of
determination or effective date hereinafter specified (or, if later, in the 
case of action by CanadianOxy or transactions with respect to the CanadianOxy
Common Shares, within fifteen days after the Corporation becomes aware 
thereof), 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 Occidental Common Stock or CanadianOxy Common Shares, 
as the case may be, 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, Liquid-
ation or liquidation, dissolution or winding up of CanadianOxy is expected to 
become effective, and the date, if any, as of which it is expected that holders
of record of Occidental Common Stock or CanadianOxy Common Shares, as the case
may be, shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Occidental Common Stock 
or CanadianOxy Common Shares, as the case may be, for securities or other 
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share
exchange, Liquidation or liquidation, dissolution or winding up (whether vol-
untary or involuntary) of CanadianOxy (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).

                                       12

     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 (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

     set forth in a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. All Closing
     Prices denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be converted to United States
     Dollars based on the Currency Exchange Rate in effect on such day.

          (iv) "Conversion Ratio" shall mean, as of any Conversion Date, the
     product of (A) the Price Ratio then in effect and (B) the Share Factor 
     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.

          (v) "Currency Exchange Rate" shall mean the noon buying rate, on the
     applicable day, in New York City for cable transfers payable in Canadian

     published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in
     "Statistical Release H.10 (512), Foreign Exchange Rates" or any successor
     publication, or if such noon buying rate is not so published for the

     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
     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 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
     national securities exchange, national quotation system or over-the-
     counter market.

          (xiii) "Listed Security" shall mean a security that is listed, quoted
     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.

Certificate to be made under the seal of the Corporation and  signed by Fred J.
Gruberth, its Vice President and Treasurer, and attested by Matthew T. Gay, its

     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 10, 1994, 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 to increase
the authorized capital stock (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 29, 1994, the 1994
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 Article IV of the Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation be amended
so that in its entirety, said Article IV shall read as set
forth below:

                         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 550,000,000 shares, divided into 500,000,000
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:

       (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;


                             - 2 -




       (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.

    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.

    FOURTH:    That the Amendment was duly adopted in
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.

                           OFFICES
                              
      SECTION 1.  Registered Office.  The registered  office
of  the Corporation shall be in the City of Dover, County of
Kent, State of Delaware.

      SECTION  2.  Other Offices.  The Corporation may  also

the  State  of Delaware as the Board of Directors  may  from
time to time determine.

                         ARTICLE II
                              
                   MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
                              
     SECTION 1.  Place and Conduct of Meetings.  Meetings of
the  stockholders for the election of directors or  for  the
transaction  of only such other business as may properly  be
brought  before the meeting in accordance with these By-laws
shall  be  held  at  such time and place, either  within  or
without  the State of Delaware, as shall be designated  from
time  to  time by the Board of Directors and stated  in  the
notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice
thereof.   The Chairman of such meetings shall have  plenary
power and authority with respect to all matters relating  to
the  conduct  thereof  including,  without  limitation,  the
authority to limit the amount of time which may be taken  by
any  stockholder or stockholders, the authority  to  appoint
and  be  advised by a parliamentarian, and the authority  to
appoint and to instruct a sergeant or sergeants at arms.

      SECTION  2.  Annual Meetings.  The Annual Meetings  of
Stockholders shall be held on such date and at such time  as
shall  be  designated  from time to time  by  the  Board  of
Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting,  for  the
purpose  of  electing directors and for the  transaction  of
only  such other business as may properly be brought  before
the meeting in accordance with these By-laws.

      To  be  properly  brought before the  Annual  Meeting,
business  must  be  either (a) specified in  the  notice  of
Annual  Meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by  or  at
the  direction  of  the  Board of Directors,  (b)  otherwise
properly  brought before the Annual Meeting  by  or  at  the
direction  of  the  Board  of Directors,  or  (c)  otherwise
properly brought before the Annual Meeting by a stockholder.
In  addition  to  any  other  applicable  requirements,  for
business to be properly brought before an Annual Meeting  by
a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice
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
public  disclosure  was  made, whichever  first  occurs.   A
stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as  to
each  matter  the stockholder proposes to bring  before  the
Annual  Meeting  (i)  a brief description  of  the  business
desired  to  be  brought before the Annual Meeting  and  the
reasons  for conducting such business at the Annual Meeting,
(ii)   the  name  and  record  address  of  the  stockholder
proposing such business, (iii) the class, series




                             -1-




and   number  of  shares  of  the  Corporation   which   are
beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (iv) any material
interest of the stockholder in such business.

       Notwithstanding  anything  in  the  By-laws  to   the
contrary,  no  business  shall be conducted  at  the  Annual
Meeting  except in accordance with the procedures set  forth
in  this Section 2, provided, however, that nothing in  this
Section  2  shall  be deemed to preclude discussion  by  any
stockholder  of  any  business properly brought  before  the
Annual Meeting.

      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
in  accordance with the provisions of this Section 2, and if
he  should  so determine, he shall so declare to the  Annual
Meeting  and  any such business not properly brought  before
the Annual Meeting shall not be transacted.

     Written notice of the Annual Meeting stating the place,
date  and hour of the Annual Meeting shall be given to  each
stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not  less  than
ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting.

       SECTION   3.   Special  Meetings.   Unless  otherwise
prescribed  by  law or by the Certificate of  Incorporation,
Special  Meetings  of  Stockholders,  for  any  purpose   or
purposes,  may  be called by the Board of Directors  or  the
Chairman of the Board.  Written notice of a Special  Meeting
stating  the  place, date and hour of the  meeting  and  the
purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be
given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before  the
date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote  at
such meeting.

      SECTION  4.  Quorum.  Except as otherwise provided  by
law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a
majority  of  the  capital stock issued and outstanding  and
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
officer  of  the  Corporation who has charge  of  the  stock
ledger  of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at  least
ten  days  before every meeting of stockholders, a  complete
list  of  the stockholders entitled to vote at the  meeting,
arranged  in alphabetical order, and showing the address  of
each stockholder and the number of shares registered in  the
name  of each stockholder.  Such list shall be open  to  the
examination of any stockholder, for any purpose  germane  to
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
stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the  list
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
Election.  The corporation shall, in advance of any  meeting
of  stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to  act  at
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
appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.   Each
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
best of his ability.

     The inspectors shall (i) ascertain the number of shares
outstanding and the voting power of each, (ii) determine the
shares  represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies
and  ballots,  (iii)  count  all  votes  and  ballots,  (iv)
determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the
disposition  of any challenges made to any determination  by
the  inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of  the
number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count
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.

for  the  restoration to the Corporation,  in  case  of  his
death,  resignation, retirement or removal from  office,  of
all  books,  papers, vouchers, money and other  property  of
whatever  kind  in  his  possession  or  under  his  control
belonging to the Corporation.

      SECTION  13.  Other Officers.  Such other officers  as
the  Board of Directors may choose shall perform such duties
and have such powers as from time to time may be assigned to
them by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors  may
delegate  to any other officer of the Corporation the  power
to  choose  such  other  officers  and  to  prescribe  their
respective duties and powers.

      SECTION  14.  Officers of Divisions.  The officers  of
divisions  of the Corporation shall perform such duties  and
may  exercise such powers as the Chairman of the  Board  may
from time to time prescribe.

                          ARTICLE V
                              
                            STOCK
                              
      SECTION  1.   Form of Certificates.  Every  holder  of
stock  in  the  Corporation shall  be  entitled  to  have  a
certificate  signed, in the name of the Corporation  (i)  by
the  Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or  a
Vice  President and (ii) by the Chief Financial  Officer  or
the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or
an  Assistant  Secretary of the Corporation, certifying  the
number of shares owned by him in the Corporation.

       SECTION  2.   Signatures.   Where  a  certificate  is
countersigned  by  (i)  a  transfer  agent  other  than  the
Corporation or its employee, or (ii) a registrar other  than
the  Corporation or its employee, any other signature on the
certificate  may  be  a  facsimile.  In  case  any  officer,
transfer agent or registrar who has


                             -8-




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

      SECTION 3.  Certificates.  The Board of Directors  may
direct  a  new  certificate to be issued  in  place  of  any
certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to
have  been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of  an
affidavit   of   that  fact  by  the  person  claiming   the
certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed.   When
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
Board  of  Directors  shall  require  and/or  to  give   the
Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity
against  any  claim that may be made against the Corporation
with  respect to the certificate alleged to have been  lost,
stolen or destroyed.

      SECTION 4.  Transfers.  Stock of the Corporation shall
be transferable in the manner prescribed by law and in these
By-laws.   Transfers of stock shall be made on the books  of
the  Corporation only by the person named in the certificate
or  by his attorney lawfully constituted in writing and upon
the  surrender of the certificate therefor, which  shall  be
cancelled before a new certificate shall be issued.

     SECTION 5.  Record Date.  In order that the Corporation
may  determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or  to
vote  at  any  meeting of stockholders  or  any  adjournment
thereof,  or entitled to receive payment of any dividend  or
other  distribution or allotment of any rights, or  entitled
to  exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion
or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful
action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date,  which
record  date  shall  not precede the  date  upon  which  the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of
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
of  or  to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply  to
any  adjournment of the meeting, provided, however, that the
Board  of  Directors  may  fix a new  record  date  for  the
adjourned meeting.

      SECTION 6.  Beneficial Owners.  The Corporation  shall
be  entitled  to recognize the exclusive right of  a  person
registered  on its books as the owner of shares  to  receive
dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for
calls  and assessments a person registered on its  books  as
the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any
equitable  or  other claim to or interest in such  share  or
shares  on the part of any other person, whether or  not  it
shall  have  express  or  other notice  thereof,  except  as
otherwise provided by law.

      SECTION  1.   Notices.   Whenever  written  notice  is
required  by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or  these
By-laws,  to be given to any director, member of a committee
or  stockholder, such notice may be given by mail, addressed
to  such director, member of a committee or stockholder,  at
his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation,
with  postage  thereon  prepaid, and such  notice  shall  be
deemed  to  be  given at the time when  the  same  shall  be
deposited  in  the United States mail.  Written  notice  may
also  be given personally or by telegram, telex or cable  or
by facsimile or other electronic transmission.  Notice given
by  any such means shall be deemed to have been given at the
time delivered, sent or transmitted.

      SECTION 2.  Waivers of Notice.  Whenever any notice is
required  by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or  these
By-laws,  to be given to any director, member of a committee
or  stockholder, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by  the
person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or
after  the  time stated therein, shall be deemed  equivalent
thereto.

      SECTION  1.   Dividends.  Dividends upon  the  capital
stock  of the Corporation, subject to the provisions of  the
Certificate of Incorporation, if any, may be declared by the
Board  of  Directors at any regular or special meeting,  and
may  be  paid  in  cash, in property, or in  shares  of  the
capital stock.  Before payment of any dividend, there may be
set  aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for
dividends  such  sum or sums as the Board of Directors  from
time to time, in its absolute discretion, deems proper as  a
reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing
dividends,  or for repairing or maintaining any property  of
the Corporation, or for any proper purpose, and the Board of
Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve.

      SECTION 2.  Disbursements.  All checks or demands  for
money  and notes of the Corporation shall be signed by  such
officer or officers or such other person or persons  as  the
Board of Directors may from time to time designate.

      SECTION  3.   Fiscal  Year.  The fiscal  year  of  the
Corporation  shall be fixed by resolution of  the  Board  of
Directors.

      SECTION 4.  Corporate Seal.  The corporate seal  shall
have inscribed thereon the name of the Corporation, the year
of   its   organization  and  the  words  "Corporate   Seal,
Delaware".   The  seal  may  be used  by  causing  it  or  a
facsimile  thereof to be impressed or affixed or  reproduced
or otherwise.

      SECTION  5.   Stock  Held by Corporation.   Powers  of
attorney,  proxies, waivers of meeting, consents  and  other
instruments  relating to securities owned by the Corporation
may be executed in the name and on behalf of the Corporation
by  the  Chairman  of the Board, or such  other  officer  or
officers  as the Board of Directors or the Chairman  of  the
Board  may  designate, and any such officer shall have  full
power  and authority on behalf of the Corporation, in person
or  by proxy, to attend, and to act and vote at, any meeting
of  stockholders of any corporation in which the Corporation
may  hold securities, and at any such meeting shall possess,
and  may  exercise,  any and all of the  rights  and  powers
incident to the ownership of such securities.

                        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. 21 2 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: DIVISIONAL OPERATIONS In millions

- - 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 below. For further information, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the discussion above.

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. 25 6 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. 28 9 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. REPORT OF MANAGEMENT The management of Occidental Petroleum Corporation is responsible for the integrity of the financial data reported by Occidental and its subsidiaries. Fulfilling this responsibility requires the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management uses internal accounting controls, corporate-wide policies and procedures and judgment so that such statements reflect fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Occidental. 32 13

37 18 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 20 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 - ----------------------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Price hedge Futures Purchases 0.2 -- 0.2 Sales 97.2 -- 97.2 Swaps Purchases -- 8.5 8.5 Basis hedge Basis swaps(c) Purchases -- 9.7 9.7 Sales -- 19.4 19.4 --------- --------- --------- Over-the- Book Fair Dollars in millions NYMEX Counter Value Value - ------------------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Deferred net gains Firm commitment/forecast transactions $ 3.9 $ -- Liabilities Price swaps $ -- $ 3.9 Basis swaps $ 0.2 $ 0.8 --------- --------- --------- --------- (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. 42 23 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 Work in process 21 27 Finished goods 428 498 --------- --------- 785 831 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. 43 24 NOTE 6 SENIOR FUNDED DEBT Senior funded debt consisted of the following (in millions):

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):
Capital Operating --------- --------- 1995 $ 54 $ 137 1996 53 101 1997 221 86 1998 6 76 1999 6 69 Thereafter 78 482 --------- --------- TOTAL MINIMUM LEASE PAYMENTS 418 $ 951 ========= Less--executory costs (7) imputed interest (90) current portion (30) --------- PRESENT VALUE OF NET MINIMUM LEASE PAYMENTS, NET OF CURRENT PORTION $ 291 =========
Rental expense for operating leases, net of immaterial sublease rental, was $163 million in 1994, $158 million in 1993 and $166 million in 1992. 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. 46 27 NOTE 10 DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAXES The domestic and foreign components of income (loss) from continuing operations before domestic and foreign income and other taxes were as follows (in millions):

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. The following is a reconciliation, stated as a percentage of pretax income, of the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to Occidental's effective tax rate on income (loss) from continuing operations:
For the years ended December 31, 1994 1993 1992 - -------------------------------- ---- ---- ---- U.S. federal statutory tax rate 35% 35% 34% Rate effect of provisions and reversals relating to, and including, foreign income taxes 65 4 17 Sale of CanadianOxy shares -- -- 14 State taxes, net of federal benefit 13 8 3 Domestic income tax reserves no longer required -- (4) (6) Nondeductible depreciation and other expenses 11 3 3 Federal income tax rate change -- 25 -- Other 10 (5) (4) ---- ---- ---- Tax rate provided by Occidental 134% 66% 61% ==== ==== ====
47 28 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 and carryforwards resulting in deferred income taxes at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were as follows (in millions):
1994 1993 ----------------------- ----------------------- Deferred Deferred Deferred Deferred Tax Tax Tax Tax Items resulting in temporary differences and carryforwards Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities - ---------------------------------------------------------- -------- ----------- -------- ----------- Property, plant and equipment differences $ 180 $ 3,873 $ 163 $ 3,919 Contract impairment reserves 102 -- 122 -- Discontinued operation loss accruals 176 -- 217 -- Environmental reserves 272 -- 300 -- Postretirement benefit accruals 214 -- 204 -- State income taxes 140 -- 130 -- Net operating loss carryforwards 267 -- 254 -- Tax credit carryforwards 309 -- 317 -- All other 594 457 661 459 -------- -------- -------- -------- Subtotal 2,254 4,330 2,368 4,378 Valuation allowance (204) -- (206) -- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total deferred taxes $ 2,050 $ 4,330 $ 2,162 $ 4,378 ======== ======== ======== ========
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. NOTE 11 NONREDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK AND COMMON STOCK The following is an analysis of nonredeemable preferred stock and common stock (shares in thousands):

48 29 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. 49 30 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. The following is a summary of stock option transactions during 1994, 1993 and 1992 (shares in thousands, except per-share amounts):

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. 50 31 The following table sets forth the plans' funded status and amounts recognized in Occidental's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1994 and 1993 (in millions):

(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. 51 32 The following table sets forth the postretirement plans' combined status, reconciled with the amounts included in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1994 and 1993 (in millions):

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. The following table presents Occidental's proportional interest in the summarized financial information of its equity method investments (in millions):

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 purchase accounting adjustments, as further adjusted in accordance with SFAS No. 109. Identifiable assets are those assets used in the operations of the segments. Corporate assets consist of cash, short-term investments, certain corporate receivables and other assets, including net assets of discontinued operations. 53 34 INDUSTRY SEGMENTS In millions

58 39 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.

62 42 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. 64 44 STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS In millions
