PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Baker Hughes Incorporated ("Baker Hughes" or the "Company") is a Delaware
corporation engaged in the oilfield and process industries. In addition, the
Company manufactures and sells other products and provides services to
industries that are not related to the oilfield or continuous process
industries. The Company conducts certain of its operations through joint
ventures, partnerships or alliances.
The Company was formed in connection with the combination of Baker
International Corporation and Hughes Tool Company that was consummated on April
3, 1987. The Company acquired Western Atlas Inc. ("Western Atlas") in a merger
(the "Merger") completed on August 10, 1998. As used herein, the "Company"
refers to Baker Hughes Incorporated and its subsidiaries, unless the context
clearly indicates otherwise.
For additional industry segment information for the two years ended December
31, 1999, the three month period ended December 31, 1997 and for the one year
in the period ended September 30, 1997, see Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8 herein.
OILFIELD
The Company is a leading supplier of reservoir-centered products, services
and systems to the worldwide oil and gas industry. Through its eight oilfield
service divisions, the Company provides equipment, products and services for oil
and gas exploration, drilling, completion and production of oil and gas wells.
Baker Atlas. The Company, through its Baker Atlas division, is a leading
provider of a broad range of well logging and data analysis services for various
phases of drilling and production. In well-logging, the Company places an
instrumentation package in the oil and gas well bore. This instrumentation
equipment measures rock and fluid properties of subsurface geologic formations.
From these measurements, the Company produces graphs of the measurements, known
as well logs, that are reviewed to determine the extent to which oil and gas may
be found in the well. The Company uses new-generation high-resolution logging
instruments, coupled with faster data transmission techniques, to provide for
the transfer of larger amounts of data from the borehole to the surface in less
time. These new generation tools, used in combination with other logging
instruments and sensors to obtain simultaneous multiple measurements, have often
resulted in more accurate reservoir evaluation while reducing logging
turnaround, and consequently lowering drilling costs and risks. The Company's
largest competitors in this market include Schlumberger Limited ("Schlumberger")
and Halliburton Company ("Halliburton").
Baker Atlas and the Company's Baker Oil Tools division also provide wireline
and tubing conveyed perforating services, respectively, to provide paths through
the casing and cement sheath in wells so that oil and gas can enter the well
bore from the formation. Perforating competitors include Schlumberger and
Halliburton.
Baker Oil Tools. The Company, through its Baker Oil Tools division, is a
leading provider of completion, workover and fishing equipment and services. Its
product lines include packer systems, fishing services, liner hangers, sand
control, service tools and subsurface safety systems. Packers are used in the
well hole to seal the space between the production tubing and the casing, to
protect the casing from reservoir pressures and corrosive formation fluids, and
to maintain the separation of productive zones. Casing is steel pipe used in the
outer perimeter inside of the well bore to keep the wall of the hole from caving
in, to prevent fluids from moving from one formation to another, and to improve
the efficiency of extracting petroleum from productive wells. Production tubing
is the pipe through which the oil and gas flows from the producing zone under
the ground to the surface of the well. The Company has recently offered its
customers new technology, including multi-lateral completion systems and remote
actuated, downhole completion tools. The Company believes that it is a leading
worldwide producer of packers and that its principal competitors for sale of
packers are Halliburton, Schlumberger and Weatherford International Inc.
("Weatherford").
The Company provides fishing services using specialized tools to locate,
dislodge and retrieve twisted off, dropped or damaged pipe, tools or other
objects from inside the well bore, potentially hundreds or thousands of feet
under the ground. The Company's major fishing competitors are Weatherford and
Smith International, Inc. ("Smith").
The Company also provides inflatable and mechanical packers that its
customers use in testing the potential of a well during the drilling phase prior
to installation of casing, and under-reamers, which enlarge the well bore at any
point below the surface to form a production cavity. In addition, the Company
provides whipstock and milling tools that are used to mill windows in the casing
to drill sidetrack wells or multi-lateral wells.
2
<PAGE> 3
The Company manufactures and sells liner hangers. The Company's customers use
these tools to suspend and set strings of casing pipe in wells. The Company
believes that it is a leading worldwide producer of liner hangers and its
primary competitor in this area is Weatherford.
The Company offers sand control products and services that prevent sand from
entering the well bore and reducing productivity. Major sand control competitors
include Schlumberger and Halliburton. Certain of the Company's sand control
products and services (gravel packing) also compete with frac-pack services that
pressure pumping companies, such as BJ Services Company, Schlumberger and
Halliburton, provide.
The Company also provides other completion, remedial and production products
and services, including control systems for surface and subsurface safety valves
and surface flow lines and flow regulators and packers used in secondary
recovery waterflood projects. The Company's primary competitors for these
products and services are Halliburton and Schlumberger.
Baker Petrolite. The Company, through its Baker Petrolite division, is a
leading provider of oilfield specialty chemicals and integrated chemical
technology solutions for petroleum production, transportation and refining.
Chemicals that the Company provides include specialty chemicals that production
segments of the petroleum industry use, as well as industrial chemicals that
customers use in refining, wastewater treatment, mineral handling and cooling
and boiler water processes. The Company also provides chemical technology
solutions to other industrial markets throughout the world including
petrochemicals, fuel additives, plastics, imaging, adhesives, steel and crop
protection. The Company believes that its primary competitor is the Nalco-Exxon
joint venture. The Company designs and manufactures systems for the treatment of
produced water and its reinjection.
Centrilift. The Company, through its Centrilift division, is a leader in
technology for oilfield electric submersible pumping ("ESP") systems, which help
raise oil to the surface. These pumping systems consist of an electric
submersible pump placed inside the oil well near the productive formation, power
and control cables between the pump and the surface, and a surface control
system. The Company manufactures the critical components of the systems,
including variable speed motor controllers and specialty armored power cables
designed for oilfield use. The Company has recently offered its customers new
technology, including downhole hydrocyclone oil/water separation systems. Its
major competition in ESPs is Schlumberger.
E&P Solutions. The Company, through its E&P Solutions division, has acquired
equity positions in oil and gas properties and functions as the operator of some
of these properties. The Company has acquired many of these oil and gas
interests, at the request of its customers, in connection with providing its
customers products and services. The Company is organized into project teams of
geophysicists, geologists and reservoir engineers that offer a wide range of
experience in exploration and production techniques, including integrated
geoscience, subsurface analysis, reservoir characterization, economic and risk
analysis, drilling recommendations, and project management and implementation.
The Company provides services for project management and the integration of
products and services from the Company and other service providers. Halliburton
and Schlumberger are the principal competitors with this capability.
Hughes Christensen. The Company believes that, through its Hughes Christensen
division, it is a leading manufacturer and marketer of Tricone(TM) roller cone
drill bits and polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) fixed cutter bits for the
worldwide oil, gas, mining and geothermal industries. The Company believes that
its principal competitors in this area are Smith, Halliburton and Schlumberger
for oil and gas applications, and Smith and Sandvik for other applications.
Baker Hughes INTEQ. The Company, through its Baker Hughes INTEQ division,
believes that it is a leading supplier of directional and horizontal drilling
services, drilling fluid systems, coring services, subsurface surveying,
logging-while-drilling, and measurement-while-drilling services to the oil and
gas industry. The Company provides products and services that its customers use
to drill oil and gas wells. Many of these wells are not straight into the
ground, but rather are guided on planed trajectories towards potential oil and
gas reservoirs. These curving well bores are horizontal or directional wells.
The Company's specialized positive displacement downhole motors help operators
to steer the well bore while drilling into pay zones using conventional
directional drilling, measurement-while drilling, logging-while-drilling and
directional drilling services. A full range of measurement-while-drilling and
logging-while-drilling systems provided by the Company use mud-pulse telemetry
to deliver real-time downhole information on the drilling process and physical
features down in the hole. Mud-pulse telemetry uses encoded pressure pulses sent
from instruments near the drill bit and decoded by a computer at the surface of
the well. This information is used to steer the drill bit towards geologic
formations that are more likely to produce oil and gas. The systems are
available for a wide range of applications, from directional-only drilling
through real-time logging-while-drilling. In logging- while-drilling,
information from the drilling assembly is conveyed to the surface, measured and
graphed on a log for analysis. The Company has recently offered its customers
new technology, including the rotary closed-loop drilling system, which combines
a downhole guidance system and logging-while-drilling sensors to guide the well
bore to programmed targets without using a downhole motor. With regard to these
products and services, the Company competes principally with Halliburton and
Schlumberger.
3
<PAGE> 4
The Company also produces and markets drilling fluids (muds) for oil and gas
well drilling, as well as chemical additives and specialty chemicals, and
provides technical services in connection with their respective formulation and
use. Drilling fluids, that are usually comprised of barite and bentonite
combined with other chemicals in a water, chemical or oil base, are used to
clean the bottom of a hole by removing cuttings and transporting them to the
surface, to cool the bit and drill string, to control formation pressures and to
seal porous well formations. The Company also furnishes on-site,
around-the-clock laboratory analysis and examination of circulated and recovered
drilling fluids and recovered drill cuttings to detect the presence of
hydrocarbons and identify the formations penetrated by the drill bit. The
Company's principal competitors with regard to these products and services are
Smith and Halliburton.
Western Geophysical. The Company, through its Western Geophysical division,
is a leading provider of seismic data acquisition and processing services to
assist oil and gas companies in evaluating the producing potential of
sedimentary basins and in locating productive zones. Seismic data are acquired
by producing a sound wave. The sound wave moves through the ground and is
recorded by audio instruments. The sound waves on the recordings are then
analyzed to determine the characteristics of the geologic formations through
which they moved and the extent that oil and gas may be trapped in or moving
through those formations. This analysis is known as a seismic survey. The
Company conducts seismic surveys on land, in deep waters and across
shallow-water transition zones worldwide. These seismic surveys encompass
high-resolution two-dimensional and three-dimensional surveys for delineating
exploration targets. They also may integrate seismic data with information
derived from the well bore to describe petrophysical properties throughout a
reservoir. The Company also conducts time-lapse four-dimensional seismic surveys
for monitoring reservoir fluid movement over time. Seismic information can
reduce field development and production costs by reducing turnaround time,
lowering drilling risks and minimizing the number of wells necessary to explore
and develop reservoirs. The Company's major competitors in providing these
services are Schlumberger, Compagnie Generale de Geophysique, Veritas DGC, Inc.
and Petroleum Geo-Services ASA.
Process
The Company has announced its intention to sell its Baker Process division.
The Company, through its Baker Process division, provides a broad range of
separation equipment and systems to concentrate product or separate and remove
waste material in the mineral, industrial, pulp and paper and municipal
industries. The Company's product lines include vacuum filters (drum, disc and
horizontal belt), filter presses, belt presses, granular media filters,
thickeners, clarifiers, flotation cells and aeration equipment. The Company's
principal competitors for sales for mineral and industrial applications are
Krauss Maffei, Outokumpu and Svedala; the Company's principal competitors for
sales for municipal applications are Vivendi and Walker Process; and the
Company's principal competitor for sales for pulp and paper applications is
Ahlstrom.
The Company designs and manufactures process solutions for the oilfield and
refinery markets. These solutions include equipment for the processing and
conditioning of seawater for injection, desalting oil streams and separating oil
from water in oil production streams, with products consisting of fine filters,
coarse filters, nutshell filters, flotation units, hydrocyclones, coalescers,
deaeration towers, electrochlorinators and electrostatic desalters. The primary
competitors in this area are Kvaerner, Serck Baker and Vivendi.
The Company manufactures a broad range of continuous and batch centrifuges
and specialty filters which are each widely used in the municipal, industrial,
chemical, minerals and pharmaceutical markets to dewater or classify process and
waste streams. The Company's principal competitors in its continuous centrifuge
product line are Alfa-Laval/Sharples, Tomoe and Flottweg. There are numerous
small and large companies that compete in the batch centrifuge and filter
product lines.
The Company provides parts and service for all of its process equipment
product lines through a global network of personnel and facilities strategically
located to serve the customer community. The Company also offers facilities
operation services for processes that utilize many of the Company's process
equipment product and service lines.
Marketing, Competition and Economic Conditions
The Company markets the products of each of its principal industry segments
primarily through the Company's own sales organizations on a product line basis,
although certain of its products and services are marketed through supply
stores, independent distributors or sales representatives. The Company
ordinarily provides technical and advisory services to assist in its customer's
use of the Company's products and services. Stockpoints and service centers for
oilfield products and services are located in areas of drilling and production
activity throughout the world. The Company markets its oilfield products and
services in nearly all of the oil producing countries. Stockpoints and service
centers for process products and services are located near the Company's
customers' operations, and the Company markets process products and services
throughout the world. In certain areas outside the United States where direct
product sales efforts are not practicable, the Company utilizes licensees, sales
representatives and distributors.
4
<PAGE> 5
The products of each of the Company's principal industry segments are sold in
highly competitive markets, and its revenues and earnings can be affected by
changes in competitive prices, fluctuations in the level of activity in major
markets, general economic conditions and governmental regulation. The Company
competes effectively with the oil and gas industry's largest integrated oilfield
service providers. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors
in the industries that it serves are product and service quality, availability
and reliability, health, safety and environmental standards, technical
proficiency, and price.
Further information concerning marketing, competition and economic conditions
is contained under the caption "Business Environment" in "Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations".
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
The Company's operations are subject to the risks inherent in doing business
in multiple countries with various legal and political policies. These risks
include war, boycotts, political changes, expropriation, currency restrictions,
taxes and changes in currency exchange rates. Although it is impossible to
predict the likelihood of such occurrences or their effect on the Company,
management believes these risks to be acceptable. However, there can be no
assurance that an occurrence of any one of these events would not have a
material adverse effect on its operations.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT; PATENTS
The Company is engaged in research and development activities directed
primarily toward improvement of existing products and services, design of
specialized products to meet specific customer needs and development of new
products and processes. For information regarding the amounts of research and
development expense for the two years ended December 31, 1999, the three month
period ended December 31, 1997 and for the year ended September 30, 1997, see
Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein.
Research and development expense for Baker Process for the two years ended
December 31, 1999, the three month period ended December 31, 1997, and for the
year ended September 30, 1997 is $1.5 million, $2.7 million, $2.1 million and
$2.0 million, respectively.
The Company has followed a policy of seeking patent protection both inside
and outside the United States for products and methods that appear to have
commercial significance. The Company believes its patents and trademarks to be
adequate for the conduct of its business, and while it regards patent and
trademark protection important to its business and future prospects, it
considers its established reputation, the reliability of its products and the
technical skills of its personnel to be more important. The Company aggressively
pursues protection of its patents against patent infringement worldwide.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS
OILFIELD
Oilfield Operations consists of eight operating divisions: Baker Atlas, Baker
Hughes INTEQ, Baker Oil Tools, Baker Petrolite, Centrilift, E&P Solutions,
Hughes Christensen and Western Geophysical.
In August 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of Western Atlas, which
specializes in land, marine and transition-zone seismic data acquisitions and
processing services, well-logging and completion services and reservoir
characterization and project management services. With the combination of the
Company and Western Atlas, the Company has enhanced its strategic position in
providing integrated "life of field" and "reservoir management" related products
and services. These products and services span the planning, exploration,
development and production phases of an oil and gas reservoir, integrating the
Company's drilling, completion and production technologies with Western Atlas'
reservoir information technologies. During 1999, the Company has focused its
efforts towards achieving its goals arising from its acquisition of Western
Atlas.
PROCESS
Baker Process provides separation technologies, continuous process solutions
and centrifuges and filters for the mineral, industrial, pulp and paper,
municipal and petroleum industries. In February 2000, the Company announced its

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state and local regulations with
regard to air and water quality and other environmental matters. The Company
believes that it is in substantial compliance with these regulations. Regulation
in this area is in the process of development, and changes in standards of
enforcement of existing regulations as well as the enactment and enforcement of
new legislation may require the Company, as well as its customers, to modify,
supplement or replace equipment or facilities or to change or discontinue
present methods of operation.
During the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999, the Company spent
approximately $18.0 million to enable the Company to comply with U.S. federal,
state and local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the
discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the
protection of the environment (collectively, "Environmental Regulations"). Based
upon current information, the Company believes that its compliance with
Environmental Regulations will not have a material adverse effect upon the
capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of the Company because
the Company has adequate reserves for such compliance expenditures or the cost
to the Company for such compliance is likely to be small when compared to the
Company's overall net worth.
Based upon current information, the Company does not believe that it will
incur material capital expenditures for environmental control equipment during
the fiscal years ending December 31, 2000 and 2001. Based upon current
information, the Company believes that capital expenditures for environmental
control equipment for the 2000 and 2001 fiscal years will not have a material
adverse effect upon the financial condition of the Company because the aggregate
amount of these expenditures for those periods is or is expected to be small
when compared to the Company's overall net worth.

<PAGE> 7
"Environmental Matters" contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words "will",
"believe", "to be", "expected" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Baker Hughes' expectations regarding its compliance
with Environmental Regulations and its expenditures to comply with Environmental
Regulations, including (without limitation) its capital expenditures on
environmental control equipment, are only its forecasts regarding these matters.
These forecasts may be substantially different from actual results, which are
affected by the following factors: changes in Environmental Regulations;
unexpected, adverse outcomes with respect to sites in which the Company has been
named a potentially responsible party ("PRP"), including (without limitation)
the sites listed below; the discovery of new sites of which the Company is not
aware where additional expenditures must be spent to comply with Environmental
Regulations; an unexpected discharge of hazardous materials in the course of the
Company's business or operations; an unplanned acquisition of one or more new
businesses; a catastrophic event causing discharges into the environment of
hydrocarbons; and the allocation to the Company of liability as a PRP with
respect to a site differs from the amount of volume of discharge allocated to
the Company with respect to the site.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries and divisions have been
identified as a PRP as a result of substances which may have been released in
the past at various sites more fully discussed below. The United States
Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") and appropriate state agencies are
supervising investigative and clean-up activities at these sites.
(a) Baker Petrolite Corporation ("BPC"), a subsidiary of the Company,
and Hughes Christensen Company ("HC"), Milpark Drilling Fluids ("Milpark")
(now known as INTEQ), and Baker Oil Tools ("BOT"), each divisions of Baker
Hughes Oilfield Operations, Inc. ("BHOO"), have been named as PRPs in the
Sheridan Superfund Site, located in Hempstead, Texas. The remedial work at
this site is being overseen by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation
Commission ("TNRCC"). A trust (the "Sheridan Site Trust") was formed to
manage the site remediation and administrative details of the project. The
Company participates as a member of the Sheridan Site Trust. Total
remedial and administrative costs are estimated by Sheridan Site Trust
officials to total approximately $30,000,000. Contribution of the
Company's subsidiaries and divisions (including Baker Hughes Tubular
Services, Inc. ("BHTS"), which was sold to ICO on September 30, 1992), is
estimated to be 1.81% of those costs.
(b) Spectrace Instruments, Inc. ("Spectrace"), the assets of which were
sold to Thermo-Electron Corporation on March 15, 1994, is a named
respondent to an EPA Administrative Order associated with the MEW Study
Area, an eight square mile soil and groundwater contamination site located
in Mountain View, California. A group of PRPs estimates that the total
cost of remediation will be approximately $80,000,000. The Company's
environmental consultants have conducted extensive investigations of
Spectrace's operating facility located within the MEW Study Area and have
concluded that Spectrace's activities could not have been the source of
any contamination in the soil or groundwater at and around the MEW Study
Area. The EPA has informed the Company that no further work needs to be
performed on Spectrace's site and indicated that the EPA does not believe
there is a contaminant source on the property. However, the Company
continues to be named in the EPA's Administrative Order. The Company
continues to believe the EPA's Administrative Order for Remedial Design
and Remedial Action is not valid with respect to the Company's subsidiary
and is seeking the withdrawal of the Administrative Order with respect to
the Company's subsidiary.
(c) In May 1987, Baker Performance Chemicals Incorporated (now known as
BPC) entered into an Agreed Administrative Order with the then Texas Water
Commission, now known as the TNRCC, with respect to soil and groundwater
contamination at the Odessa - Hillmont site located in Odessa, Texas. This
site was previously used by BPC as a chemical blending plant. The
contaminated soil has been removed, and the site continues in the
groundwater recovery/treatment phase at an annual cost to the Company of
approximately $20,000.
(d) Milpark (now known as INTEQ) has been identified as a PRP at the
Toups Farm Superfund Site (eligible for cleanup under the Texas State
Cleanup Fund) located north of South Lake near Hallettsville, Texas. The
site consists of approximately 21 acres and was operated over the years as
a municipal landfill, fence post treating company and a hog farm. Based on
available information, the Company does not believe that it has any
liability for contamination at the site.
(e) Milpark (now known as INTEQ) and Baker Sand Control (now known as
BOT) have been named as PRPs at the DL Mud Superfund Site located in
Abbeville, Louisiana. This site was used for the disposal of used drilling
fluids and drilling muds. However, another named PRP is responsible for a
majority of the waste volume disposed at this site, and such PRP is
presently engaged in the remediation of the site. To date neither the
other PRP nor the EPA have produced any substantive waste disposal or
transportation documentation linking the Company or its subsidiaries or
divisions to the environmental conditions at the site. The Company does
not anticipate that it will have any liability for this site.

(f) Milpark (now known as INTEQ) has been named as a PRP at the Mar
Services Superfund site located in Crankton, Louisiana. It has been
estimated that the contribution to this site by the Company's subsidiary
is approximately 0.08% of the total volume of solids at the site (based
upon a volumetric calculation). The site is now undergoing investigative
studies to determine the remedial action plan as well as a total estimated
cost for remediation.
(g) In January 1996, Petrolite Corporation (now known as BPC) was named
as a PRP by the TNRCC at the McBay Oil and Gas State Superfund Site in
Grapevine, Texas. The Company has disputed its involvement in the site
based on the fact that it has no knowledge of transporting waste to the
site. However, the Company has transacted product sales to McBay Oil and
Gas Company. Documentation of product sales has been sent to the TNRCC.
Based on available information, the Company does not believe that it has
any liability for contamination at this site.
(h) In July 1997, Petrolite Corporation (now known as BPC), was named
by the EPA as a PRP at the Shore Refinery Site, Kilgore, Gregg County,
Texas. The Company has completed a thorough search of its documents and
records. The Company has concluded that it has not arranged for the
disposal, treatment, or transportation of hazardous substances or used oil
at the site. To date, the EPA has not produced any substantive, hazardous
substance treatment, disposal or transportation documentation linking the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or divisions to the environmental
conditions at the site. The Company does not believe that it has any
liability for contamination at the site.
(i) In June 1999, Hughes Tool Company (now known as Hughes Christensen)
was named as a PRP at the Li Tungsten Site in Glen Cove, New York. This
site was used to reprocess tungsten, a strategic metal used in the
manufacture of drill bits. The Company has responded to the EPA's inquiry
and believes that it has contributed only a de minimus amount of hazardous
substances to the site. The site is now undergoing investigative studies
to determine a suitable remedial action plan as well as a total estimated
cost for remediation.
While PRPs in Superfund actions have joint and several liability for all
costs of remediation in many of the sites described above, it is not possible at
this time to quantify the Company's ultimate exposure because the project is
either in its early investigative or remediation stage. Based upon current
information, the Company does not believe that probable and reasonably possible
expenditures in connection with any of the sites described above are likely to
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition because: (i)
the Company has established adequate reserves to cover what the Company
presently believes will be its ultimate liability with respect to the matter,
(ii) the Company and its subsidiaries have only limited involvement in the sites
based upon a volumetric calculation, as described above, (iii) there are other
PRPs that have greater involvement on a volumetric calculation basis who have
substantial assets and who may reasonably be expected to pay their share of the
cost of remediation, (iv) where discussed above, the Company has insurance
coverage or contractual indemnities from third parties to cover the ultimate
liability, and (v) the Company's ultimate liability, based upon current
information, is small compared to the Company's overall net worth.
The Company is subject to various other governmental proceedings relating to
environmental matters, but the Company does not believe that any of these
matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is sometimes named as a defendant in litigation relating to the
products and services it provides. The Company insures against these risks to
the extent deemed prudent by its management, but no assurance can be given that
the nature and amount of such insurance will in every case fully indemnify the
Company against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings
relating to its ordinary business activities. Many of these policies contain
self insured retentions in amounts the Company deems prudent.
The Company has been named as a defendant in a number of shareholder class
action suits following the Company's announcement on December 8, 1999 regarding
the accounting issues it discovered at its INTEQ division. See Note 15 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein. These suits will
all be consolidated into one lawsuit pursuant to the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company believes the allegations in these
suits are without merit, and the Company intends to vigorously defend these
lawsuits. Even so, an adverse outcome in this class action litigation could have
an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
1) On August 27, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change
in the fiscal year-end of the Company from September 30 to December 31,
effective with the calendar year beginning January 1, 1998. A three-month
transition period from October 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997 (the
"Transition Period") precedes the start of the 1998 fiscal year. "1995",
"1996" and "1997" refer to the respective years ended September 30, and
"1998" and "1999" refer to the respective years ended December 31.

<PAGE> 11
2) In December 1999, based on an internal review, the Company became aware of
several accounting misstatements at one of its operating divisions, Baker
Hughes INTEQ. A subsequent analysis determined that these misstatements
amounted to $31.0 million, net of tax.
As a result, the Company restated its previously issued consolidated
financial statements to reflect the adjustments required to correct these
misstatements.As a result of the above, the Company's 1998, Transition
Period, 1997, 1996 and 1995 financial statements have been restated from
amounts previously reported. The principal effects of these adjustments on
the accompanying financial statements are set forth in Note 19 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein.
3) On February 16, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved, in
principle, a plan to sell the Company's Baker Process division, which
manufactures and sells process equipment for separating solids from liquids
and liquids from liquids through filtration, sedimentation, centrifugation
and flotation processes. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto have been restated to present the
operations of Baker Process as discontinued operations. For further
discussion see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
Item 8 herein.
On October 31, 1997, Western Atlas distributed all the shares of UNOVA,
Inc., its then wholly owned industrial automation systems subsidiary, as a
stock dividend to its shareholders. The operations of UNOVA, Inc. for the
Transition Period and 1997 are classified as discontinued operations in the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
4) On August 10, 1998, Baker Hughes completed its Merger with Western Atlas.
The Merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly,
all prior period consolidated financial statements of Baker Hughes have
been restated to include the results of operations, financial position and
cash flows of Western Atlas. Certain amounts have been reclassified to
conform the reporting practices of Baker Hughes and Western Atlas.
5) See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8
herein for a description of the unusual and other nonrecurring charges and
gains in the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the year ended
September 30, 1997. The unusual charge in 1996 consisted of the
restructuring and reorganization of certain oilfield divisions, write-off
of certain oilfield patents and an impairment of a Latin America joint
venture.
6) See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8
herein for a description of acquisitions and dispositions made in the year
ended December 31, 1998, the three months ended December 31, 1997 and the
year ended September 30, 1997. In 1996, the Company sold 6.3 million shares
of Varco International, Inc. common stock and recognized a pretax gain of
$44.3 million.
7) In the year ended September 30, 1997, the Company changed its method of
accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived
assets held for disposal. In the year ended September 30, 1995, the Company
adopted a new accounting standard related to accounting for post employment
benefits.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, the three months ended December 31, 1997 and for the year ended September
30, 1997 and the related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in
Item 8 herein.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
MD&A includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (each a "Forward-Looking Statement"). The
words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "estimate,"
"project," "forecasts," "will," "could," "may" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Baker Hughes' expectations
about its business outlook, customer spending, oil and gas prices and the
business environment for the Company and the industry in general are only its
expectations regarding these matters. No assurance can be given that actual
results may not differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements
herein for reasons including the effects of competition, the level of petroleum
industry exploration and production expenditures, world economic conditions,
prices of, and the demand for, crude oil and natural gas, drilling activity,
weather, the legislative environment in the United States and other countries,
OPEC policy, conflict in the Middle East and other major petroleum producing or
consuming regions, the development of technology that lowers overall finding and
development costs and the condition of the capital and equity markets. See
"-Business Environment" for a more detailed discussion of certain of these
factors.

Baker Hughes Incorporated
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (Continued)
Baker Hughes' expectations regarding its level of capital expenditures and
its capital expenditures on Project Renaissance described in "Investing
Activities" below are only its forecasts regarding these matters. In addition to
the factors described in the previous paragraph and in "Business Environment,"
these forecasts may be substantially different from actual results, which are
affected by the following factors: the accuracy of the Company's estimates
regarding its spending requirements, regulatory, legal and contractual
impediments to spending reduction measures; the occurrence of any unanticipated
acquisition or research and development opportunities; changes in the Company's
strategic direction; the need to replace any unanticipated losses in capital
assets; and the factors listed in "Item 1. Business-Environmental Matters".
CHANGE IN YEAR-END
On August 27, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change
in the fiscal year end of the Company from September 30 to December 31,
effective with the calendar year beginning January 1, 1998. A three-month
transition period from October 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997 (the Transition
Period) precedes the start of the 1998 fiscal year. "1997" refers to the year
ended September 30, the Transition Period refers to the three months ended
December 31, 1997, and "1998" and "1999" refer to the respective years ended
December 31.
RESTATEMENT
In December 1999, based on an internal review, the Company became aware of
several accounting misstatements at one of its operating divisions, Baker Hughes
INTEQ ("INTEQ"). A subsequent analysis determined that these misstatements
amounted to $31.0 million, net of taxes. As a result, the Company restated its
previously issued consolidated financial statements to reflect the adjustments
required to correct these misstatements. The adjustments relate to uncollectible
accounts receivable, inventory shortages, the recognition of inventory pricing
adjustments, the impairment of various other current and long-lived assets and
the recognition of certain previously unrecorded liabilities, including trade
accounts payable and employee compensation and benefits payable. Although the
amounts were attributable to several of the INTEQ division locations, $24.2
million, net of tax, was related to INTEQ's Venezuela operations. Of the amounts
pertaining to locations other than Venezuela, no one location accounted for more
than $2.7 million on an after tax basis.
As a result of the analysis of these amounts, the Company determined that the
specific years affected and the applicable amounts, net of tax, are as follows:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
As a result of the above, the Company's 1998, Transition Period, 1997, 1996
and 1995 financial statements have been restated from amounts previously
reported. The principal effects of these adjustments on the accompanying
financial statements are set forth in Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8 herein.
Management believes the misstatements were primarily the result of
noncompliance with the Company's accounting and operating procedures and that
such noncompliance was isolated primarily to INTEQ's operations in Venezuela.
The Company is in the process of reviewing the administrative, accounting and
operational policies and procedures for its foreign units, and compliance
therewith, to identify potential areas where revisions may be warranted. To the
extent that changes to current procedures are warranted, they will be
implemented as quickly as practicable.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
1999
On February 16, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved, in
principle, a plan to sell the Company's Baker Process division, which
manufactures and sells process equipment for separating solids from liquids and
liquids from liquids through filtration, sedimentation, centrifugation and
flotation processes. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto have been restated to present the
operations of Baker Process (which were separately accounted for as a segment)
as discontinued operations. For further discussion see Note 3 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein.
1997
On October 31, 1997, Western Atlas distributed all the shares of UNOVA, Inc.
("UNOVA"), its then wholly owned industrial automation systems subsidiary, as a
stock dividend to its shareholders (the "Spin-off"). The operations of UNOVA for
the Transition Period and 1997 are classified as discontinued operations in the
Company's consolidated financial statements. For periods prior to the Spin-off,
cash, debt, and the related net interest expense were allocated based on the
capital needs of UNOVA's operations.
MERGER
On August 10, 1998, Baker Hughes completed its Merger with Western Atlas. The
Merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, all prior
period consolidated financial statements of Baker Hughes have been restated to
include the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Western
Atlas. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform the reporting practices
of Baker Hughes and Western Atlas.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Oilfield operations consist of eight divisions - Baker Atlas, Baker Hughes
INTEQ, Baker Oil Tools, Baker Petrolite, Centrilift, E&P Solutions, Hughes
Christensen and Western Geophysical. These companies manufacture and sell
equipment and provide related services used in exploring for, developing and
producing hydrocarbon reserves. In addition, E&P Solutions explores for, and
produces, oil and natural gas.
The business environment for the Company and its corresponding operating
results can be significantly affected by the level of industry capital
expenditures for the exploration and production of oil and gas reserves. These
expenditures are influenced strongly by oil company expectations about the
supply and demand for crude oil and natural gas products and by the energy price
environment that results from supply and demand imbalances. These expenditures
are further influenced by a fundamental change in our customer base and in our
customers' approaches toward relationships with suppliers. Our largest customers
have consolidated and are using their global size and market power to seek
economies of scale and pricing concessions.
Key factors currently influencing the worldwide crude oil and gas market are:
o PRODUCTION RESTRAINT: the degree to which OPEC nations and other large
producing countries are willing and able to restrict production and exports of
crude oil.
o GLOBAL ECONOMIC GROWTH: in particular in Japan, China and South Korea, and the
developing areas of Asia where the correlation between energy demand and
economic growth is strong.
o OIL AND GAS STORAGE INVENTORIES: relative to historic levels.
o TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS: in the design and application of new products that
allow oil and gas companies to drill fewer wells and to drill, complete and
produce wells faster and at lower cost.
o MATURITY OF THE RESOURCE BASE: of known hydrocarbon reserves in the maturing
provinces of the North Sea, U.S., Canada and Latin America.
o THE PACE OF NEW INVESTMENT: access to capital and the reinvestment of
available cash flow into existing and emerging markets.
o PRICE VOLATILITY: the impact of widely fluctuating commodity prices on the
stability of the market and subsequent impact on customer spending.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (Continued)
OIL AND GAS PRICES
Crude oil and natural gas prices and the Baker Hughes rotary rig count are
summarized in the tables below as averages for the periods indicated and are
followed by the Company's outlook. While reading the Company's outlook set forth
below, caution is advised that the factors described above in "-Forward-Looking
Statements" and "-Business Environment" could negatively impact the Company's
expectations for oil demand, oil and gas prices and drilling activity.

U.S. Spot Natural Gas ($/mcf) 2.19 2.01 2.72 2.47
</TABLE>
Crude oil prices rebounded strongly from the record lows experienced in 1998.
Prices averaged $19.37 for the year, ranging from a low of $11.68/bbl in
February of the year to $27.36/bbl in November. Oil prices increased due to
sustained adherence to production cut agreements in both OPEC and non-OPEC
countries coupled with a resurgence of worldwide demand growth led by a recovery
of Asian markets and a return to colder winter weather. The resulting decrease
in global oil inventories (particularly in North America) provided increased
stability in the market and stronger price support.
U.S. natural gas prices strengthened in 1999 compared to the prior year,
averaging $2.19/mcf and ranging from a low of $1.58/mcf in March to a high of
$2.94/mcf in October. The increase is due in part to an apparent reduction in
available gas supply brought about by the sustained slow down in gas directed
drilling in the U.S. experienced from January 1998 to June 1999. The impact of
lower supply coupled with the return of colder winter weather has reduced
natural gas storage inventories to historically seasonable levels.
ROTARY RIG COUNT
The Company is engaged in the oilfield service industry providing products
and services that are used in exploring for, developing and producing oil and
gas reservoirs. When drilling or workover rigs are active, they consume the
products and services produced by the oilfield service industry. The active rig
count acts as a leading indicator of consumption of products and services used
in drilling, completing, producing and processing hydrocarbons.
Rig count trends are governed by the exploration and development spending by
oil and gas companies, which in turn is influenced by current and future price
expectations for oil and natural gas. Rig counts therefore reflect the relative
strength and stability of energy prices.

</TABLE>
The extreme volatility experienced in 1999 for oil and gas prices created an
uncertain business environment for the Company's customers. Consequently,
customer expenditures to explore for and produce oil and gas declined,
decreasing the number of active drilling and workover rigs and reducing the need
for the Company's products and services, which resulted in decreased revenues.
14
<PAGE> 15
Reductions or increases in rig count may or may not have a significant impact
on revenues depending on the prevailing market conditions. There is often a lag
between increases or decreases in oil and gas prices and changes in rig count
and an additional lag between changes in rig count and the impact on the
Company's revenues.
OUTLOOK
Oil prices are expected to remain strong in the first half of 2000 but are
expected to moderate throughout the balance of the year as the OPEC production
cuts agreed to in 1999 expire and additional oil supply becomes available to the
market. Prices for benchmark West Texas Intermediate oil are expected to trade
in the range of $20 to $25/bbl by the end of 2000.
U. S. natural gas prices are expected to remain strong throughout 2000
averaging between $2.20 and $2.60 per mcf as lower storage levels, increased
demand and reduced supply pressure the market in the coming injection season.
In response to improved energy prices, customer spending is expected to
strengthen in 2000 with current estimates indicating increased global spending
in the oil and gas industry of approximately 10% over 1999 levels. North
American spending is expected to continue to increase throughout the year with
both natural gas and oil as drivers of increased drilling and production
activity. Outside North America; customer spending is expected to remain
depressed in the first quarter with gradual improvement thereafter.
ACQUISITIONS
No significant acquisitions were made during 1999. In addition to the
acquisitions discussed below, the Company made several acquisitions to expand
its technology base and to increase its presence in key geographic areas in
1998, the Transition Period and 1997. None of these acquisitions individually or
in the aggregate are material to the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
1998
In April 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of WEDGE
DIA-LOG, Inc. ("WEDGE") for $218.5 million in cash. WEDGE specializes in
cased-hole logging and pipe recovery services. Also in April 1998, the Company
acquired 3-D Geophysical, Inc. ("3-D") for $117.5 million in cash. 3-D is a
supplier of primarily land-based seismic data acquisition services. The purchase
method of accounting was used to record both of these acquisitions. The
operating results of these acquisitions are included in the consolidated
statement of operations from their respective acquisition dates.
1997
In July 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of Petrolite Corporation
("Petrolite"). The Company issued 19.3 million shares of its common stock having
an aggregate value of $730.2 million. Additionally, the Company assumed
Petrolite's outstanding vested and unvested employee stock options, which had a
fair market value of $21.0 million resulting in total consideration of $751.2
million. The Company recorded an unusual charge of $34.5 million related to the
combination of Petrolite with Baker Performance Chemicals, the Company's
existing oilfield and industrial chemicals operations, forming Baker Petrolite,
a leading provider of oilfield chemicals in the major oilfield markets.
Also in July 1997, the Company acquired Drilex International Inc. ("Drilex"),
a provider of products and services used in the directional and horizontal
drilling and workover of oil and gas wells, for 2.7 million shares of the
Company's common stock. The acquisition of Drilex, which has been combined with
the operations of INTEQ, provided the Company with an increased presence in the
U.S. land directional and horizontal drilling market. In connection with the
acquisition of Drilex, the Company recorded an unusual charge of $7.1 million
related to transaction and other one-time costs.
RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
REVENUES
Revenues for 1999 totaled $4,546.7 million, as compared to $5,820.6 million
for 1998, a decrease of 21.9%. The decrease was due to continued depressed
activity levels that started in the second half of 1998 and continued throughout
1999. Although oil and gas prices improved during 1999, average rig counts fell
19.8% in North America and 22% outside North America when compared to 1998.
Substantially all areas of the world experienced revenue declines in 1999 as
compared to 1998. Approximately 58% of the Company's 1999 revenues were derived
from sources outside North America. 1999 revenues from production of oil and gas
wells increased over 1998 as certain projects previously in development stage
began production during 1999. Oil and gas revenues for 1999 and 1998, were $68.2
million and $5.9 million, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (Continued)
Revenues for 1998 were $5,820.6 million, an increase of 17.4% over 1997
revenues of $4,957.9 million. The increase was due to various acquisitions made
by the Company in 1998 and in the latter part of 1997, offset by activity level
declines as rig counts in 1998 fell 12.9% in North America and 6.1% outside
North America when compared to 1997. These activity declines were brought about
by the significant drop in the price of oil and natural gas in the second half
of 1998 and the resultant decrease in customer spending. Approximately 61% of
the Company's revenues were derived from activities outside North America in
1998 and 1997.
Quarterly revenues peaked in the June 1998 quarter at $1,532.4 million and
declined $225.1 million, or 14.7%, to $1,307.3 million by the December 1998
quarter. The impact on the Company's business was most dramatic in North America
land based activity and in Venezuela. Excluding acquisitions, Western
Geophysical is the only division that reported revenue increases in the second
half of 1998 as it benefited from strong licensing sales of multiclient seismic
data, where customer spending has been less impacted by fluctuations in oil
prices.
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1997 were $1,449.0 million,
an increase of 20.1% over revenues in the three months ended December 31, 1996
of $1,206.7 million. The revenue improvement resulted from higher activity
levels as the worldwide rig count increased 14.7% from the three months ended
December 31, 1997, when compared to the three months ended December 31, 1996.
GROSS MARGIN
Gross margins for 1999, 1998, the Transition Period and 1997, were 19.1%,
18.5%, 27.0% and 21.2%, respectively. Gross margins in 1999 and 1998 were
adversely impacted by significant activity declines and the resulting pricing
pressure on the Company's products and services. In addition, as discussed in
"-Unusual and Other Nonrecurring Charges", during 1999 and 1998 nonrecurring
charges recorded in costs of revenue totaled $72.1 million and $286.6 million,
respectively. Conversely, the higher gross margin percentages in the Transition
Period and 1997 result primarily from higher incremental gross profit on
increasing revenues, changes in the revenue mix and continued emphasis on
productivity and cost improvements.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense as a percent of
consolidated revenues for 1999, 1998, the Transition Period and 1997, were
14.4%, 13.4%, 13.6% and 9.4%, respectively. Despite significant cost reduction
efforts during 1998 and 1999, SG&A did not decline as a percentage of revenue
due to several factors. As discussed in "-Unusual and Other Nonrecurring
Charges," in 1999 credits totaling $20.3 million and in 1998 charges totaling
$68.7 million were recorded in SG&A. In addition, increased spending on Project
Renaissance and Year 2000 computer issue preparations during this period and the
fact that SG&A expenses are generally more fixed in nature also contributed to
the higher percentages in 1998 and 1999. Significantly higher activity and
revenue levels in 1997 resulted in lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of
revenue during the period.
MERGER RELATED COSTS
In connection with the Merger, in 1998 the Company recorded merger related
costs of $217.5 million. The cash portion of the charge was $159.3 million and
the noncash portion was $58.2 million. These costs included:
Cash portion:
o Transaction costs including banking, legal and printing fees.
o Employee related costs consisting of payments made to certain officers of
Western Atlas and severance benefits paid to terminated employees whose
responsibilities were deemed redundant.
o Integration costs including changing legal registrations, terminating a joint
venture as a result of the Merger, and changing signs and logos.
NONCASH PORTION:
o Charges related to the triggering of change in control rights contained in
certain Western Atlas and Baker Hughes employee stock option plans.
o Charge to record the write-off of the carrying value of a product line that
was discontinued as a result of the Merger.
During 1999, the Company reviewed the balances of the accruals for cash
merger charges and determined that $1.6 million of the remaining balances in the
accruals would not be utilized. This amount was included in the fourth quarter
as an adjustment to merger related costs.
16
<PAGE> 17
The cash spent as of December 31, 1999 was $142.9 million. The Company
expects that, of the $14.8 million accrual at December 31, 1999, $2.0 million
will be spent by June 2000 and $2.4 million will be spent over a three-year
period, with the remaining accrual being spent over the remaining life of the
related contractual obligations.
Unusual and Other Nonrecurring Charges
1999
As a result of continuing low activity levels, predominantly for the
Company's seismic products and services, the Company recorded charges during the
fourth quarter of 1999 totaling $122.8 million as summarized below:

Total cash and noncash charges $ 122.8
=========
</TABLE>
The employee groups terminated were executive, marketing, field service and
support personnel and approximately 200 were terminated as of December 31, 1999.
The amount accrued for severance is based upon the positions eliminated and the
Company's written severance policy and does not include any portion of the
employees' salary through their severance dates. Based upon current estimates,
the Company estimates that all of the accrued severance at December 31, 1999
will be paid during 2000 when the employees leave the Company.
The Company accrued $36.0 million related to expected costs to settle
contractual obligations based upon management's decision to reduce or abandon
certain operations and based on the terms of the applicable agreements. These
costs consist primarily of the cost of terminating leases on certain marine
vessels that are being taken out of service and removed from the fleet.
The impairment of property includes the write-off or write-down of certain
assets utilized in the Company's seismic business. These assets are being
scrapped or otherwise being disposed of and consist of $31.7 million of land and
marine recording equipment, $1.6 million of data processing equipment and $19.6
million of marine vessels to be sold or otherwise abandoned. Write-down amounts
were generally determined by use of internal appraisal techniques to assess the
estimated realizable value to be realized upon disposal. On an annualized basis,
the effect of eliminating depreciation on assets written down or written off is
approximately $19.4 million.
During 1999 the Company realized nonrecurring gains totaling $54.8 million.
The Company sold two large excess real estate properties and realized net gains
totaling $39.5 million. The Company received net proceeds of $68.1 million. In
addition, the Company sold certain assets related to its previous divestiture of
a joint venture and realized a net gain of $15.3 million.
During 1999 the Company reviewed the remaining balances of the accruals for
cash charges and made $7.4 million of adjustments to reflect the current
estimates of remaining expenditures. These adjustments included reversals of
previously recorded accruals that will not be utilized. The adjustments related
primarily to severance accruals and lease obligations. In addition, for accruals
related to certain terminated lease obligations, revisions were made to increase
previously recorded amounts based on current information and estimates of
expected cash flows related to these leases.
These items were reflected in the following captions of the consolidated
statement of operations:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (Continued)
1998
The Company had experienced high growth levels for its products and services
from 1994 through the second quarter of 1998. During the third and fourth
quarters of 1998, the Company experienced a decline in demand for its products
and services as a result of a significant decrease in the price of oil and
natural gas. The decline in customer demand materialized quickly from the
previous high growth rates.
As a result of this sharp decline in demand and to adjust to the lower level
of activity, the Company assessed its overall operations and recorded charges of
$551.9 million as summarized below:

The amount accrued for severance is based upon the Company's written
severance policy and the positions eliminated. The accrued severance does not
include any portion of the employees' salaries through their severance dates.
Based upon current severance dates, the Company expects that of the accrued
severance remaining at December 31, 1999, substantially all will be paid during
2000.
The Company accrued $29.8 million to combine operations and consolidate
facilities. Such accrual includes costs to settle leases on idled facilities
based upon lease agreements; to shut-down oil and gas operations in certain
countries based upon management's decision to abandon operations; to terminate a
rig contract based upon the terms of the agreement; and other collocation costs
based upon the estimated exit costs for approved plans. The accrual does not
include any portion of the costs before actual abandonment of the facilities or
ceasing of the operations. The remaining accrual of $5.9 million related to
abandoned leases will be spent according to the lease terms.
The impairment of inventory and rental tool assets of $160.2 million impacted
virtually all operating divisions and was due to advances in technology that
have obsoleted certain product lines, as well as a decline in market demand that
has resulted in an excess supply of certain products. The product lines most
affected were completion products, drilling and evaluation systems and tools and
tricone and diamond drill bits. Much of the obsolete and excess inventory will
be scrapped and has been written off completely. The remaining assets have been
written down to their estimated value based on the Company's inventory and
rental tool obsolescence policy.
In the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded an $83.2 million
write-down of PetroAlliance Services Company Limited ("PAS"), a former
consolidated joint venture operating in the former Soviet Union. In the fourth
quarter of 1997, the price of oil began to decline. This decline in connection
with deteriorating political and economic conditions in Russia adversely
affected PAS' business in Russia. It also adversely affected PAS' business in
other areas of the former Soviet Union that are closely aligned with the Russian
economy. PAS suffered significant operating losses in the second, third and
fourth quarters of 1998. Revenues of approximately $50.0 million and a net
operating loss of approximately $11.0 million were included in the Company's
consolidated statement of operations. Due to the continued deterioration of the
economy in Russia and other former Soviet Union countries, PAS' continued losses
and the prospect that this situation would likely continue, the Company's
interest in PAS was written down. For this reason, the Company desired to
dispose of its interest in this business.
The write-down of the joint venture was based upon the Company's estimated
value of assets ultimately received in consideration of the sale of the PAS
investment in November 1998. The Company received as consideration for the sale
of PAS a seismic vessel, other seismic and well-logging assets, certain PAS
assets in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, certain customer receivables and a $33.0
million note from the purchasers. The write-down included $10.7 million for
equipment, $22.0 million of goodwill, and $50.5 million of net current assets.
The impairment of property and other assets of $75.7 million includes an
$18.1 million write-down to reduce the carrying value of a portion of the
Company's drilling equipment; a $12.6 million write-off of obsolete solid and
oil-filled streamer sections used on seismic vessels; a $14.9 million write-down
of surplus well-logging equipment; a $9.5 million write-off of prepaid royalties
on an abandoned product line; and $20.6 million of assets written down to fair
market value. The write-down of these assets was determined based on internally
developed valuations using a variety of methods.
A $69.3 million charge was taken in the third quarter of 1998 related to the
Company's oil and gas properties. This charge consisted of $25.8 million related
to properties in the United States and $7.7 million related to properties in
Argentina and resulted from depressed oil and gas prices and reduced future
exploration capital expenditures. The remaining $35.8 million resulted from the
write-off of unproven reserves in other foreign jurisdictions in which
management of the Company plans to reduce the amount of future exploration
capital.
The write-off of intangible assets of $17.8 million includes $2.7 million for
capitalized software costs for product lines abandoned as a result of recent
acquisitions; $5.3 million for capitalized development costs for software
systems that are being replaced by the Company's implementation of SAP R/3; and
$9.8 million for goodwill associated with a discontinued business and a
subsidiary held for sale.
The write-down of real estate held for sale of $17.0 million is for a
specific property and the charge reduces the carrying value to the property's
appraised value.
The $10.7 million charge is to write-off investments in joint ventures in
both Russia and Indonesia and also includes a loss on the sale of Tracor Europa,
a discontinued subsidiary.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (Continued)
1997
During 1997, the Company recorded unusual charges of $51.1 million. This
included charges in connection with the acquisitions of Petrolite and Drilex of
$34.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively, to combine the acquired operations
with those of the Company. An additional $9.5 million charge was recorded as a
result of the decision to discontinue a low margin, oilfield product line in
Latin America and to sell the Tracor Europa subsidiary, a computer peripherals
operation. This resulted in a write-down of the investment in Tracor Europa to
net realizable value. Cash provisions of the unusual charge totaled $18.5
million. The Company spent $5.5 million during 1997, $1.6 million during the
Transition Period and substantially all of the remaining $11.4 million in 1998.
Such expenditures relate to specific plans and clearly defined actions and were
funded from operations and available credit facilities.
ACQUIRED IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The acquisition of Petrolite in 1997 was accounted for as a purchase.
Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair market values at the date of
the acquisition. Management of the Company is responsible for estimating the
fair value of the purchased in-process research and development. In accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, the $118.0 million allocated to
in-process research and development has been recorded as a charge in the
consolidated statement of operations as of the acquisition date because the
technological feasibility of the projects in-process had not been established
and there was no alternative future use at that date.
There were 26 individual research and development projects that were in
development at the time of the acquisition that were classified as in-process
research and development. A total of $126.0 million was allocated to Petrolite's
existing technology that had an original estimated useful life of 30 years. This
technology, used primarily in energy-related industries, is embedded in various
products of Petrolite designed to inhibit corrosion and scale formation, aid in
the oil and water separation process and enhance the performance, through the
use of chemical additives, of the process industry. The products under
development were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis at a 14% discount
factor. The cash flows were projected for a 20 year period and included
additional research and development and capital expenditures required to
complete the projects. The gross margins used for these products were generally
consistent with those of other products sold by the Company. The 14% discount
factor used considered the time value of money, inflation and the risk inherent
in the projects under development. In aggregate, the remaining completion costs
for these products were projected to exceed $7.2 million with completion periods
varying from 90 days to two years. As of December 31, 1999, seventeen of these
products had generated commercial sales, five had product sales on a trial basis
only, and four were determined not to be viable products. During 1999, revenues
from these products totaled approximately $7.6 million.
There are risks associated with the projects that may prevent them from
becoming viable products that generate revenues. These risks include, but are
not limited to, the successful development of the underlying technology and the
ability to economically produce a product in commercial quantities. In addition,
the factors described above in "-Forward-Looking Statements" and "-Business
Environment" create uncertainty that demand for the products utilizing this yet
to be developed technology will exist.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense in 1999 increased $16.3 million compared to 1998. Interest
expense in 1998 increased $54.7 million compared to 1997. These increases were
due to higher debt levels that funded acquisitions, capital expenditures and
working capital.
UNREALIZED GAIN ON TRADING SECURITIES
The Company currently holds equity securities in Tuboscope, Inc. In 1999, the
Company announced its intention to sell its holdings in Tuboscope, Inc. and has
reclassified these from available for sale securities to trading securities. As
a result of this decision, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $31.5
million pre-tax in the fourth quarter of 1999.
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates before merger related costs, spin-off related
costs, unusual and other nonrecurring charges were 34.7%, 35.4%, 37.8% and
35.3% for the periods ended December 31, 1999, December 31, 1998, December 31,
1997 and September 30, 1997, respectively.
20
<PAGE> 21
The 1999 effective income tax rate is lower than the 1998 rate due primarily
to lower taxes from international operations and a settlement of the audit of
the Company's 1994 and 1995 U.S. consolidated income tax returns with the
Internal Revenue Service. As a result of the settlement, the Company recognized
a tax benefit through the reversal of deferred income taxes previously provided
of $18.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1999.
A significant portion of the Merger related costs and the unusual and other
nonrecurring charges recorded in 1998 were not deductible for tax purposes in
any jurisdiction. In addition, the Company operated in certain jurisdictions
that assess tax on a deemed profit or turnover basis. As a result, the Company
provided $24.7 million of income taxes on the net loss from continuing
operations of $256.2 million in 1998.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash inflows from operating activities of continuing operations were
$541.3 million, $794.2 million, $137.9 million and $710.4 million in 1999,
1998, the Transition Period and 1997, respectively. The reduction in cash flow
from 1998 to 1999 is due to lower net income, after including the noncash
portion of nonrecurring items, payments on accruals for merger and nonrecurring
related items of $73.0 million and decreases in accounts payable and other
accrued liabilities caused by lower business levels. This was offset by
reductions in receivables and inventory resulting from activity declines and
additional management focus. The increase in operating cash flow from 1997 to
1998 resulted from the increasing business levels from period to period.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Net cash outflows from investing activities of continuing operations were
$481.9 million in 1999, $1,658.6 million in 1998, $317.8 million in the
Transition Period and $970.0 million in 1997.
Property additions in 1999 decreased significantly from prior year levels as
the Company responded to the depressed market conditions for its products and
services. The Company currently expects 2000 capital expenditures to be
approximately $600.0 million excluding acquisitions. Funds provided from
operations and outstanding lines of credit are expected to be adequate to meet
future capital expenditure requirements. Property additions in 1998 increased as
the Company added capacity to meet increased market demand and due to an
increase in the acquisition of multiclient seismic data.
Proceeds from the disposal of assets generated $151.9 million in 1999, $100.0
million in 1998, $20.5 million in the Transition Period and $61.7 million in
1997.
The Company obtained $68.7 million of cash from the two stock acquisitions of
Petrolite Corporation and Drilex that occurred in 1997. In July 1997, the
Company sold all of the marketable securities it obtained from Wm. S. Barnickel
& Company in association with the Petrolite acquisition for $48.5 million.
In 1998, the Company used short-term borrowings to purchase various
businesses including WEDGE for $218.4 million, net of cash acquired, 3-D for
$117.5 million and Western Rock Bit for $31.4 million. In the Transition Period
the Company used short-term borrowings to purchase various businesses including
Oilfield Dynamics Inc. for $34.2 million. In 1997, the Company used existing
cash on hand and short-term borrowings to purchase various businesses including
the Environmental Technology Division of Deutz AG for $52.2 million, net of cash
acquired.
During the June 1997 quarter, the Company began a multi-year initiative
designed to redesign certain of its business processes and to develop and
implement an enterprise wide software system. The initiative, named "Project
Renaissance," will utilize SAP R/3 as its software platform across the whole of
the Company and is expected to cost in excess of $300 million over a four year
period of which $192.9 million has been spent as of December 31, 1999.
The words "expected" and "expects" are intended to identify Forward-Looking
Statements in "Investing Activities". See "-Forward-Looking Statements" and
"-Business Environment" above for a description of risk factors related to these
Forward-Looking Statements.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash inflows (outflows) from financing activities of continuing
operations were $(63.1) million, $838.6 million, $173.7 million and $462.3
million in 1999, 1998, the Transition Period and 1997, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (Continued)
Total debt outstanding at December 31, 1999 was $2,814.1 million, compared to
$2,770.7 million at December 31, 1998, and $1,782.6 million at September 30,
1997. The increase in debt is primarily due to increased borrowings from
commercial paper and revolving credit facilities that funded acquisitions,
capital expenditures, and working capital needs. The debt to equity ratio was
0.92 at December 31, 1999 compared to 0.88 at December 31, 1998.
Cash dividends in 1999 increased due to the increase in the number of shares
of common stock outstanding as a result of the Merger.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had $1,512.9 million of credit facilities
with commercial banks, of which $1,000.0 million was committed. These facilities
are subject to normal banking terms and conditions that do not significantly
restrict the Company's activities.
On January 14, 1999, the Company issued $400 million of 6.875% Notes due
January 2029, $325 million of 6.25% Notes due January 2009, $200 million 6.0%
Notes due February 2009 and $100 million of 5.8% Notes due February 2003 with
effective interest rates of 7.08%, 6.38%, 6.11% and 6.04%, respectively. The net
proceeds of $1,010.7 million were used to repay the $150.0 million of the 7.625%
Notes due February 1999, commercial paper, and other short-term borrowings.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
DERIVATIVE AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities that
require an entity to recognize all derivatives as an asset or liability measured
at fair value. Depending on the intended use of the derivative, changes in its
fair value will be reported in the period of change as either a component of
earnings or a component of other comprehensive income.
SFAS No. 133, as amended, is effective for all quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Retroactive application to periods prior to
adoption is not allowed. The Company will adopt the standard in the first
quarter of 2001. The Company has not quantified the impact of the adoption of
SFAS No. 133 on its consolidated financial statements.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Many computer hardware and software products were not engineered with
internal calendars or date-processing logic capable of accommodating dates after
December 31, 1999. In most cases, the problem was due to the hardware or
software application storing the year as a two-digit field. In applications
where this year 2000 ("Y2K") problem exists, the year 2000 will appear as 00,
and current applications could interpret the year as 1900 or some date other
than 2000. The same error may exist for years later than 2000 because the
application cannot distinguish which century the date represents. These problems
had the potential of negatively affecting the Company's business application
systems, manufacturing, engineering and process control systems, products sold
to customers, equipment used in providing services, facilities equipment and
information technology infrastructure. Additionally, Y2K issues impacting
suppliers and customers could have had an indirect negative impact on the
Company.
The Company did not experience any Y2K problems as a result of the change of
year from 1999 to 2000, that, in the opinion of the Company's management,
materially and adversely affected the consolidated financial condition of the
Company. The Company had approximately 100 full time equivalent employees
("FTEs") involved in its effort to address its Y2K issues, which the Company
estimates had an associated annual cost of approximately $7.0 million.
Generally, these FTEs were full-time employees who devoted some portion of their
schedule to the Y2K effort. In addition to the payroll and payroll-related
costs, Baker Hughes spent approximately $41.5 million through December 31, 1999
on addressing its Y2K issues. The Company funded these expenditures from cash
that it generated from operating activities or existing credit facilities.
EURO CONVERSION
A single European currency (the "Euro") was introduced on January 1, 1999, at
which time the conversion rates between the old, or legacy, currencies and the
Euro were set for 11 participating member countries. However, the legacy
currencies in those countries will continue to be used as legal tender through
January 1, 2002. Thereafter, the legacy currencies will be canceled, and Euro
bills and coins will be used in the 11 participating countries.
22
<PAGE> 23
Most of the Company's products and services are essentially priced with
reference to U.S. dollar-denominated prices. Because of this, the Company does
not believe that it will be subject to a significant increase in pricing
transparency due to the introduction of the Euro. The Company's customers may
require billing in two or more currencies. Until the Company's financial
computer systems are modified or replaced to handle Euro-denominated
transactions, the Company will, in most cases, need to apply a methodology
whereby legacy currencies are first converted into Euros according to a legally
prescribed fixed exchange ratio and then, when the customer requires, converted
from Euros to a second national currency. The Company does not believe that this
conversion will materially affect its contracts. Most of the Company's contracts
are either bids in response to requests for tenders or purchase orders. These
contracts are either priced in purchase and sales orders, which are short term
in nature, or in longer term contracts that are sufficiently flexible to permit
pricing in multiple currencies. The Euro conversion period is longer than most
of the pricing features of these contracts, thus permitting a pricing conversion
to the Euro as new orders are issued. The same is true with most of the
Company's contracts with vendors.
During the June 1997 quarter, the Company began a multi-year initiative
designed to develop and implement an enterprise-wide software system. The
initiative, named "Project Renaissance," will utilize SAP R/3 as its software
platform across the entire Company and is expected to cost in excess of $300
million over a four-year period. SAP R/3 is programmed to process in Euros for
most of the Company's accounting, financial and operational functions, and the
Company expects that the implementation of this system will address its Euro
issues in these areas. Because the Company has engaged in this implementation
for operational purposes and not solely to address Euro issues, the Company has
not separately determined the cost of converting these systems for use with the
Euro. These Euro conversion costs are embedded in the cost of Project
Renaissance and are not susceptible to separate quantification. The Company has
scheduled implementation of SAP R/3 in its major European operations prior to
January 1, 2002.
The Company may make certain modifications to its legacy computer systems, or
replace them, to address certain Euro conversion issues, pending full
implementation of SAP R/3. The Company is presently assessing these conversion
modifications and their costs.
In connection with an internal reorganization of the structure of the
Company's subsidiaries and cash management procedures, the Company has
instituted a new cash management system that the Company believes is able to
process transactions in Euros. The Company does not presently have any interest
rate or currency swaps that are denominated in Euro legacy currencies.
The Company has appointed coordinators to address Euro conversion issues in
France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and the United Kingdom,
the major centers of the Company's European operations that could be affected by
the Euro conversion. The Company continues to assess the impact of the Euro on
its operations and financial, accounting and operational systems. The Company
does not presently anticipate that the transition to the Euro will have a
significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash
flows.
The word "anticipate" is intended to identify a Forward-Looking Statement in
"Euro Conversion." The Company's anticipation regarding the lack of significance
of the Euro introduction on the Company's operations is only its forecast
regarding this matter. This forecast may be substantially different from actual
results, which are affected by factors such as the following: unforeseen
difficulties in remediating specific computer systems to accommodate the Euro
due to the complexity of hardware and software, the inability of third parties
to adequately address their own Euro systems issues, including vendors,
contractors, financial institutions, U.S. and foreign governments and customers,
the delay in completion of a phase of the Company's remediation of a computer
system to accommodate the Euro necessary to begin a later phase, the discovery
of a greater number of hardware and software systems or technologies with
material Euro issues than the Company presently anticipates, and the lack of
alternatives that the Company previously believed existed.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to certain market risks that are inherent in the
Company's financial instruments which arise in the normal course of business.
The Company may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to
manage or reduce market risk; that is, the Company does not enter into
derivative financial instrument transactions for speculative purposes. A
discussion of the Company's primary market risk exposure in financial
instruments is presented below.
LONG-TERM DEBT
The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its long-term fixed interest
rate debt. Commercial paper borrowings, other short-term borrowings and variable
rate long-term debt do not give rise to significant interest rate risk because
these borrowings either have maturities of less than three months or have
variable interest rates. All other things being equal, the fair market value of
the Company's debt with a fixed interest rate will increase, and the amount
required to retire that debt today will increase, as interest rates fall and the
fair market value will decrease as interest rates rise. This exposure to
interest rate risk is
23
<PAGE> 24
managed by borrowing money that has a variable interest rate or using interest
rate swaps to change fixed interest rate borrowings to variable interest rate
borrowings. Generally, the Company maintains between 50% and 65% of total
borrowings at variable interest rates.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had fixed rate debt aggregating $2.0
billion and variable rate debt aggregating $0.8 billion. The following table
sets forth, as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's principal cash flows
for its long-term debt obligations, which bear a fixed rate of interest and are
denominated in U.S. dollars, and the related weighted average effective interest
rates by expected maturity dates. Additionally, the table sets forth the
notional amounts and weighted average interest rates of the Company's interest
rate swaps by expected maturity (dollar amounts in millions).

million and $275.5 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
(2) Six-month LIBOR plus 2.01% settled semi-annually. This swap matured in
January 2000.
(3) Average six-month LIBOR for the Japanese Yen, Euro and the Swiss Franc plus
3.16%.
(4) Fair market value of long-term debt is $1,796.9 million and $1,114.8 million
at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
(5) Fair market value of the interest rate swaps is a $13.8 million payable and
a $1.6 million receivable at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Included in the table above in the "Thereafter" column is the Company's
Liquid Yield Option Notes ("LYONS") which are convertible into Company common
stock at the option of the holder. As such, the fair value of the LYONS is
determined, in addition to changes in interest rates, by changes in the market
price of the Company's common stock. (Holding interest rates constant, a 20%
decline in the market price of the Company's common stock would not cause the
fair value of the LYONS at December 31, 1999 to decrease by a comparable
percentage amount because the LYONS currently trade more like a debt instrument
than an equity instrument. This occurs because the market price of the Company's
common stock at December 31, 1999 of $21.06 was significantly below the LYONS
conversion price of $40.24.)
INVESTMENTS
The Company's investment in common stock and common stock warrants of
Tuboscope, Inc. ("Tuboscope") is subject to equity price risk as the common
stock of Tuboscope is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Warrants to buy
shares of Tuboscope common stock derive their value, in part, from the market
value of Tuboscope common stock. The Company intends to sell its holdings in
Tuboscope. Accordingly, securities held by the Company in this investment are
classified as trading securities and reported at fair market value, with
unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the fair market value of the Company's
investment in common stock and common stock warrants of Tuboscope was $58.7
million and $26.9 million, respectively. The Tuboscope common stock was valued
at the closing price at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively; as reported on
the New York Stock Exchange, and the warrants were valued using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. No actions have been taken by the Company to
hedge this market risk exposure. A 20% decline in the market price of Tuboscope
common stock would cause the fair market value of the investment in common stock
and common stock warrants of Tuboscope to decrease $13.9 million at December 31,
1999.
24
<PAGE> 25
FOREIGN CURRENCY
The Company's operations are conducted around the world in a number of
different currencies. As such, future earnings are subject to change due to
changes in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in
currencies other than the Company's functional currencies - the primary
currencies in which the Company conducts its business in various jurisdictions.
As a general rule, the Company hedges all or part of the future earnings
exposure when it believes the risk of loss is greater than the cost of the
associated hedge.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had Norwegian Krone denominated commitments
of $39.3 million related to the purchase of a seismic vessel. At December 31,
1998, the Company had Norwegian Krone denominated commitments of $81.4 million,
related to the purchase of two seismic vessels. The Company had entered into
forward exchange contracts with notional amounts of $39.5 million at December
31, 1999 and $88.9 million at December 31, 1998, to hedge these commitments. At
December 31, 1999 the fair market value of these contracts was $39.3 million,
resulting in an unrealized loss of $0.2 million. In addition, at December 31,
1999, the Company had Australian Dollar denominated commitments of $7.5 million
primarily related to a long-term equipment purchase commitment for which the
Company entered into forward exchange contracts with notional amounts of $7.1
million to hedge substantially all of this commitment. The unrealized gain on
these forward exchange contracts at December 31, 1999 was $0.4 million. At
December 31, 1999 the Company had Japanese Yen denominated accounts receivable
of $0.8 million related to a sales agreement. At December 31, 1999, the Company
had entered into a forward exchange contract with a fair market value of $0.7
million as a hedge for this collection. The notional amounts are used to express
the volume of these transactions and do not represent exposure to loss. The
carrying value of the contracts was not significant. Foreign currency gains and
losses for such purchases are deferred and become part of the basis of the
assets. The counterparties to the Company's forward contracts are major
financial institutions. The credit ratings and concentration of risk of these
financial institutions are monitored on a continuing basis and, in management's
opinion, present no significant credit risk to the Company. In the unlikely
event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of a foreign currency
contract, the Company's exposure is limited to the foreign currency spot rate
differential.
Certain borrowings of the Company are denominated in currencies other than
its functional currency. At December 31, 1999, these nonfunctional currency
borrowings totaled $1.9 million where the primary exposure was between the U.S.
Dollar and the Danish Krone. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against these
currencies would not have a significant effect on the future earnings of the
Company.

In fulfilling its responsibilities for the integrity of financial
information, management maintains and relies on the Company's system of internal
control. This system includes written policies, an organizational structure
providing division of responsibilities, the selection and training of qualified
personnel and a program of financial and operational reviews by a professional
staff of corporate auditors. The system is designed to provide reasonable
assurance that assets are safeguarded, transactions are executed in accordance
with management's authorization and accounting records are reliable as a basis
for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Management
believes that, as of December 31, 1999, the Company's internal control system
provides reasonable assurance that material errors or irregularities will be
prevented or detected within a timely period and is cost effective.
Management recognizes its responsibility for fostering a strong ethical
climate so that the Company's affairs are conducted according to the highest
standards of personal and corporate conduct. This responsibility is
characterized and reflected in the Company's Standards of Conduct which are
distributed throughout the Company. Management maintains a systematic program to
assess compliance with the policies included in the standards.
The Board of Directors, through its Audit/Ethics Committee composed solely of
nonemployee directors, reviews the Company's financial reporting, accounting and
ethical practices. The Audit/Ethics Committee recommends to the Board of

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Stockholders of Baker Hughes Incorporated:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
position of Baker Hughes Incorporated and its subsidiaries as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, the three month period ended December 31, 1997 and the year ended
September 30, 1997. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule
II, valuation and qualifying accounts. These financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Baker Hughes Incorporated and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the three
month period ended December 31, 1997 and the year ended September 30, 1997 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
such financial statement schedule II, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for impairment of long-lived assets to be
disposed of effective October 1, 1996 to conform with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121.
As described in Note 19, the accompanying consolidated statement of financial
position as of December 31, 1998 and the related consolidated statement of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31,
1998, the three month period ended December 31, 1997, and the year ended
September 30, 1997 have been restated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RESTATEMENT
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Baker Hughes
Incorporated and all majority owned subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Baker
Hughes"). In the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, all dollar amounts
in tabulations are in millions of dollars unless otherwise indicated.
CHANGE IN YEAR-END
On August 27, 1998, the Board of Directors of Baker Hughes approved a change
in the fiscal year-end of the Company from September 30 to December 31,
effective with the calendar year beginning January 1, 1998. A three month
transition period from October 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997 (the
"Transition Period") precedes the start of the 1998 fiscal year. "1997" refers
to the year ended September 30, the Transition Period refers to the three months
ended December 31, 1997, and "1998" and "1999" refers to the twelve months ended
December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.
RESTATEMENT
As more fully described in Note 19 "Restatement", the financial statements
and related disclosures as of and for the periods ended December 31, 1998, the
Transition Period and the year ended September 30, 1997 have been restated to
correct accounting errors identified in the Company's accounting records.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On February 16, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved, in
principle, a plan to sell the Company's Baker Process division. Accordingly, all
prior period consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto have
been restated to present the operations of Baker Process (which were separately
accounted for as a segment) as a discontinued operation. See Note 3 for further
discussion of discontinued operations.
MERGER
On August 10, 1998, Baker Hughes completed a merger (the "Merger") with
Western Atlas Inc. ("Western Atlas"). The Merger was accounted for as a pooling
of interests and, accordingly, all prior period consolidated financial
statements of Baker Hughes have been restated to include the results of
operations, financial position and cash flows of Western Atlas. Certain amounts
have been reclassified to conform the reporting practices of Baker Hughes and
Western Atlas.
In connection with the Merger, in 1998 the Company recorded merger related
costs as summarized below:

</TABLE>
Transaction costs of $51.5 million include banking, legal and printing fees
and other costs directly related to the Merger.
Employee related costs of $87.2 million primarily consist of payments made to
certain officers of Western Atlas and Baker Hughes pursuant to change in control
provisions, $60.3 million, and severance benefits paid to terminated employees
whose responsibilities were deemed redundant as a result of the Merger, $15.4
million. The remaining accrued employee costs represent retirement benefits of
certain employees that will be paid, in accordance with the terms of their
agreements, over the lives of the covered employees.
32
<PAGE> 33
Other integration costs include the costs of changing legal registrations in
various jurisdictions, terminating a joint venture as a result of the Merger,
changing signs and logos at the Company's major facilities around the world and
other integration costs.
The noncash charge of $58.2 million consists of a charge of $45.3 million
related to the triggering of change of control rights contained in certain
Western Atlas employee stock option plans that were not converted to Baker
Hughes options concurrent with the Merger; a charge of $3.9 million for the
issuance of the Company's common stock pursuant to certain stock plans as a
result of the change in control; and a $9.0 million charge recorded to write-off
the carrying value of a product line that was discontinued as a result of the
Merger.
During 1999 the Company reviewed the remaining balances of the accruals for
cash merger charges and made $1.6 million of adjustments to reflect the current
estimates of remaining expenditures. These adjustments included reversals of
previously recorded accruals that will not be utilized. The adjustments related
primarily to other integration costs.
The Company expects that, of the $14.8 million accrual at December 31, 1999,
$2.0 million will be spent by June 2000 and $2.4 million will be spent by
December 31, 2001, with the remaining accrual being spent over the remaining
life of the related contractual obligations.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include those
of the Company and all majority owned subsidiaries. Investments in which the
Company owns 20% to 50% and exercises significant influence over operating and
financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenue from product sales are recognized upon delivery of
products to the customer. Revenue from services and rentals are recorded when
such services are rendered.
CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash
equivalents.
INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated primarily at the lower of average cost or
market.
PROPERTY: Property is stated principally at cost less accumulated depreciation,
which is generally provided by using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of individual items. The Company manufactures a substantial portion
of its rental tools and equipment, and the cost of these items includes direct
and indirect manufacturing costs.
The Company is developing and implementing SAP R/3 as an enterprise-wide
software system. External direct costs of consulting services and payroll
related cost of employees who work full-time on implementation of the
enterprise-wide software system are capitalized. Costs associated with business
process reengineering are expensed as incurred.
The Company uses the full-cost method of accounting for its investment in oil
and gas properties. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all acquisition,
exploration, and development costs incurred for the purpose of finding oil and
gas reserves. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas
properties is computed using the unit-of-production method based upon production
and estimates of proved reserves. Due to ceiling test limitations, the Company
had write-downs of $69.3 million and $12.5 million during 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
MULTICLIENT SEISMIC DATA: Costs incurred in the creation of Company owned
multiclient seismic data are capitalized and amortized over the estimated
revenue that the Company expects to receive from the licensing of such data.
Cash prepayments received from customers for specific contracts are included in
deferred revenue until earned.
IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS: The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, effective October 1, 1996. The
statement sets forth guidance as to when to recognize an impairment of
long-lived assets, including goodwill, and how to measure such an impairment.
The methodology set forth in SFAS No. 121 is not significantly different from
the Company's prior policy and, therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not
have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements as it relates
to impairment of
33

Baker Hughes Incorporated
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
long-lived assets used in operations. The accounting for long-lived assets to be
disposed of requires these assets to be carried at the lower of cost or fair
market value as determined by a discounted cash flow analysis, rather than the
lower of cost or net realizable value, the method that was previously used by
the Company. The Company recognized a charge to income of $12.1 million ($.04
per share-diluted), net of a tax benefit of $6.0 million, in 1997 as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had long-lived assets held for disposal of
approximately 50 real properties with a carrying value of $37.5 million, ranging
in size from a few hundred square feet to 200,000 square feet and located
primarily in the United States. This portfolio of real property includes land
and offices, manufacturing, repair and warehouse space in various locations
where oilfield activity takes place. The makeup of the portfolio changes over
time as properties are sold and as properties that are surplus to operation's
needs are added. Baker Hughes employs two full-time real estate professionals
whose responsibilities include the marketing, leasing, management and sale of
these facilities. The methodology used in determining the fair market value of
the properties includes comparison to recent sales and listing of similarly
situated facilities and discussions with real estate brokers and agents
concerning expectations about current and future real property prices and rental
rates.
INVESTMENTS: Investments in debt and equity securities, other than those
accounted for by the equity method, are classified as either trading securities
and reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in earnings
or as available for sale and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and
losses, net of tax, recorded as a separate component of accumulated other
comprehensive income within stockholders' equity. The Company currently holds
equity securities in Tuboscope, Inc. In 1999, the Company announced its
intention to dispose of its holdings in Tuboscope, Inc. and has reclassified it
accordingly. As a result of this decision, the Company recognized a pre-tax
unusual gain of $31.5 million in 1999.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES: Goodwill arising from acquisitions is amortized
using the straight-line method over the lesser of its expected useful life or 40
years. Other intangibles are stated at cost and are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the asset's estimated useful life. The carrying amount of unamortized
goodwill and other intangibles is reviewed for potential impairment loss when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded in the period in which it is
determined that the carrying amount is not recoverable. The determination of
recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash
flows, excluding interest expense, of the business unit to which the goodwill or
other intangibles relate.
INCOME TAXES: Deferred income taxes are determined utilizing an asset and
liability approach. This method gives consideration to the future tax
consequences associated with differences between the financial accounting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS: Remediation costs are accrued based on estimates of known
environmental remediation exposure. Such accruals are recorded even if
significant uncertainties exist over the ultimate cost of the remediation.
Ongoing environmental compliance costs, including maintenance and monitoring
costs, are expensed as incurred. Where the Company has been identified as a
potentially responsible party in a Federal Superfund site, the Company accrues
its share of the estimated remediation costs of the site based on the ratio that
the estimated volume of waste contributed to the site by the Company bears to
the total volume of waste at the site.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION: The intrinsic value method of accounting is used for
stock based employee compensation whereby no compensation expense is recognized
when the exercise price of an employee stock option is equal to or greater than
the market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: Gains and losses resulting from balance sheet
translation of foreign operations where a foreign currency is the functional
currency are included as a separate component of comprehensive income within
stockholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from balance sheet translation
of foreign operations where the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency are
included in the consolidated statements of operations.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The Company uses forward exchange contracts and currency
swaps to hedge certain firm commitments and transactions denominated in foreign
currencies. Gains and losses on forward contracts are deferred and offset
against foreign exchange gains or losses on the underlying hedged item. The
Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. The interest
differentials from interest rate swaps are recognized as an adjustment to
interest expense. The Company's policies do not permit financial instrument
transactions for speculative purposes.

NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
1999
On February 16, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved, in
principle, a plan to sell the Company's Baker Process division. Baker Process
manufacturers and sells process equipment for separating solids from liquids and
liquids from liquids through filtration, sedimentation, centrifugation and
flotation processes. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto have been restated to present the
operations of Baker Process (which were separately accounted for as a segment)
as a discontinued operation. The Company has retained an investment-banking firm
to manage the sale process. Income (loss) from discontinued operations for the
year ended December 31, 1999, includes the estimated results of operations of
Baker Process for 2000 of $(1.4) million, net of $.7 tax, including allocated
interest expense. Income (loss) from discontinued operations for all respective
periods presented includes interest expense allocated on the basis of the net
assets of Baker Process compared to the Company's stockholders' equity and
consolidated debt. Corporate, general and administrative costs of the Company
were not allocated to Baker Process for any of the periods presented.
Certain information with respect to discontinued operations of Baker Process
is as follows:

Income (loss) before income taxes from discontinued operations includes
merger, unusual and nonrecurring charges of $(4.0) million in 1999 and $39.2
million in 1998. The 1999 amount results from adjustments to the remaining
accrual balances for items that will not be utilized. The adjustments relate
primarily to terminated leases and severance costs. The 1998 amount consists of
integration costs of $10.2 million, severance of $6.3 million, impairment of
inventory of $13.0 million, impairment of property, equipment and other assets
of $8.1 million and merger related costs of $1.6 million.

1997
In May 1997, the Western Atlas Board of Directors approved, in principal, a
plan to distribute (the "Spin-off") to Western Atlas shareholders all of the
outstanding common stock of UNOVA, Inc. ("UNOVA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Western Atlas, organized to conduct Western Atlas' industrial automation systems
business. Pursuant to the Spin-off, on October 31, 1997, each Western Atlas
shareholder received an equivalent number of shares of UNOVA common stock in a
tax-free transaction. As explained in Note 1, the fiscal year financial
information for Baker Hughes for the year ended September 30, 1997 includes
Western Atlas' results for calendar year 1997. Hence, on the statements of
consolidated stockholders' equity, the Spin-off of UNOVA is included in the year
ended September 30, 1997.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations includes interest expense
allocated on the basis of debt levels assumed in the Spin-off. Corporate,
general and administrative costs of Western Atlas were not allocated to UNOVA
for any of the periods presented. Concurrent with the Spin-off, UNOVA repaid
Western Atlas for intercompany indebtedness totaling $230.0 million.

and $98.4 million in 1997. No significant acquisitions were made during 1999.
These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the cost of each acquisition has been allocated to assets acquired
and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair market values at the date
of the acquisition. The operating results of these acquisitions are included in
the consolidated statements of operations from their respective acquisition
date. Pro forma results of these acquisitions have not been presented as the pro
forma revenue, income before accounting change and earnings per share would not
be materially different from the Company's actual results.
1998
WEDGE AND 3-D
In April 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of WEDGE
DIA-LOG, Inc. ("WEDGE") for $218.5 million in cash. WEDGE specialized in
cased-hole logging and pipe recovery services. Also in April 1998, the Company
acquired 3-D Geophysical, Inc. ("3-D") for $117.5 million in cash. 3-D was a
supplier of primarily land-based seismic data acquisition services. The purchase
method of accounting was used to record both of these acquisitions. Pro forma
results of these two acquisitions have not been presented as the pro forma
revenue, net income and earnings per share would not be materially different
from the Company's actual results.

1997
PETROLITE
In July 1997, the Company acquired Petrolite Corporation ("Petrolite") and
Wm. S. Barnickel & Company ("Barnickel"), the holder of 47.1% of Petrolite's
common stock, for 19.3 million shares of the Company's common stock having a
value of $730.2 million in a three-way business combination. The purchase method
of accounting was used to record these acquisitions. Additionally, the Company
assumed Petrolite's outstanding vested and unvested employee stock options,
which were converted into the right to acquire 1.0 million shares of the
Company's common stock. Such assumption of Petrolite options by the Company had
a fair market value of $21.0 million resulting in total consideration in the
acquisitions of $751.2 million. Petrolite, the shares of which were previously
publicly traded, was a manufacturer and marketer of specialty chemicals used in
the petroleum and process industries. Barnickel was a privately held company
that owned marketable securities, which were sold after the acquisition, in
addition to its investment in Petrolite.
The acquisition of Petrolite in 1997 was accounted for as a purchase.
Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair market values at the date of
the acquisition. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
the $118.0 million allocated to in-process research and development has been
recorded as a charge in the consolidated statement of operations as of the
acquisition date because the technological feasibility of the projects
in-process had not been established and there was no alternative future use at
that date.
There were twenty-six individual research and development projects that were
in development at the time of the acquisition that were classified as in-process
research and development. The products under development were valued using a
discounted cash flow analysis at a 14% discount factor. The cash flows were
projected for a 20 year period and included additional research and development
and capital expenditures required to complete the projects. The gross margins
used for these products were generally consistent with those of other products
sold by the Company. The 14% discount factor used considered the time value of
money, inflation and the risk inherent in the projects under development. In
aggregate, the remaining completion costs for these products were projected to
exceed $7.2 million with completion periods varying from 90 days to two years.
As of December 31, 1999, seventeen of these products had generated commercial
sales, five had product sales on a trial basis only, and four were determined
not to be viable products. During 1999, revenues from these products totaled
approximately $7.6 million.
The Company incurred certain liabilities as part of the plan to combine the
operations of Petrolite with those of the Company. These liabilities relate to
the Petrolite operations and include severance of $13.8 million for redundant
marketing, manufacturing and administrative personnel, relocation of $5.8
million for moving equipment and transferring marketing and technology
personnel, primarily from St. Louis to Houston, and environmental remediation of
$16.5 million for redundant properties and facilities that were to be sold. Cash
spent during 1999, 1998, the Transition Period and 1997 totaled $6.0 million,
$12.9 million, $2.1 million and $7.7 million, respectively. Of the remaining
accrual of $7.4 million, $6.8 million relates to environmental remediation and
will be spent as the properties are remediated.
DRILEX
In July 1997, the Company acquired Drilex International Inc. ("Drilex"), a
provider of products and services used in the directional and horizontal
drilling and workover of oil and gas wells, for 2.7 million shares of the
Company's common stock. The acquisition was accounted for using the pooling of
interests method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, the historical
cost basis of the assets and liabilities of the Company and Drilex are combined
at recorded amounts and the results of operations of the combined companies for
1997 are included in the 1997 consolidated statement of operations. The
historical results of the separate companies for years prior to 1997 are not
combined because the retained earnings and results of operations of Drilex are
not material to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
NORAND AND UNITED BARCODE INDUSTRIES
The Company acquired Norand Corporation ("Norand") on March 3, 1997, and
United Barcode Industries ("UBI") on April 4, 1997. These companies were
integrated into the Company's industrial automation systems operations and
included in the Spin-off of UNOVA. The purchase method of accounting was used to
record these acquisitions; and, accordingly, the acquisition costs of $280.0
million and $107.0 million for Norand and UBI, respectively, were allocated to
the net assets acquired based upon their relative fair values. In accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, such allocation assigned a
combined value for the two acquisitions of $203.0 million to in-process research
and development activities, which was expensed in 1997 because its technological
feasibility had not been established and it had no alternative future use at the
date of acquisition.

NOTE 8. UNUSUAL AND OTHER CHARGES
1999
As a result of continuing low activity levels, predominantly for the
Company's seismic products and services, the Company recorded charges during the
fourth quarter of 1999 totaling $122.8 million as summarized below:

==========
</TABLE>
The employee groups terminated were executive, marketing, field service and
support personnel of which approximately 200 were terminated as of December 31,
1999. The amount accrued for severance is based upon the positions eliminated
and the Company's written severance policy and does not include any portion of
the employees' salary through their severance dates. Based upon current
estimates, the Company estimates that all of the accrued severance at December
31, 1999 will be paid during 2000 when the employees leave the Company.
The Company accrued $36.0 million related to expected costs to settle
contractual obligations based upon management's decision to reduce or abandon
certain operations and based on the terms of the applicable agreements. These
costs consist primarily of the cost of terminating leases on certain marine
vessels that are being taken out of service and removed from the fleet.
The impairment of property includes the write-off or write-down of certain
assets utilized in the Company's seismic business. These assets are being
scrapped or otherwise being disposed of and consist of $31.7 million of land and
marine recording equipment, $1.6 million of data processing equipment and $19.6
million of marine vessels to be sold or otherwise abandoned. Write down amounts
were generally determined by use of internal appraisal techniques to assess the
estimated fair value to be realized upon disposal. On an annualized basis, the
effect of eliminating depreciation on assets written down or written off is
approximately $19.4 million.
During 1999 the Company realized nonrecurring gains totaling $54.8 million.
The Company sold two large excess real estate properties and realized net gains
totaling $39.5 million. The Company received net proceeds of $68.1 million. In
addition, the Company sold certain assets related to its previous divestiture of
a joint venture and realized a net gain of $15.3 million.
During 1999 the Company reviewed the remaining balances of the accruals for
cash charges and made $7.4 million of adjustments to reflect the current
estimates of remaining expenditures. These adjustments included reversals of
previously recorded accruals that will not be utilized. The adjustments related
primarily to severance accruals and lease obligations. In addition, for accruals
related to certain terminated lease obligations, revisions were made to increase
previously recorded amounts based on current information and estimates of
expected cash flows related to these leases.
These items were reflected in the following captions of the consolidated
statement of operations:

1998
The Company had experienced high growth levels for its products and services
from 1994 through the second quarter of 1998. During the third and fourth
quarters of 1998, the Company experienced a decline in demand for its products
and services as a result of a significant decrease in the price of oil and
natural gas. The decline in customer demand materialized quickly from the
previous high growth rates.

<PAGE> 40
As a result of this sharp decline in demand and to adjust to the lower level
of activity, the Company assessed its overall operations and recorded charges of
$551.9 million as summarized below. Substantially all of the charges originate
from the Company's oilfield operating segment.

</TABLE>
The employee groups terminated were marketing, manufacturing, field service
personnel, engineering and administrative support. Substantially all employees
were terminated as of December 31, 1999. The amount accrued for severance is
based upon the Company's written severance policy and the positions eliminated.
The accrued severance does not include any portion of the employees' salaries
through their severance dates. Based upon current severance dates, the Company
expects that of the accrued severance remaining at December 31, 1999,
substantially all will be paid during 2000.
The Company accrued $29.8 million to combine operations and consolidate
facilities. Such accrual includes costs to settle leases on idled facilities
based upon lease agreements; to shut-down oil and gas operations in certain
countries based upon management's decision to abandon operations; to terminate a
rig contract based upon the terms of the agreement; and other collocation costs
based upon the estimated exit costs for approved plans. The accrual does not
include any portion of the costs before actual abandonment of the facilities or
ceasing of the operations. The remaining accrual of $5.9 million related to
abandoned leases will be spent according to the lease terms.
The accrual for environmental reserves relates to additional costs to
remediate properties obtained in the July 1997 Petrolite acquisition. The
Company completed a thorough review of substantially all the Petrolite
properties in September 1998 and determined that additional costs would be
incurred in remediating the properties. The Company started the remediation in
1999 and expects it to be substantially completed during 2000.
Other cash costs of $21.4 million include costs to settle certain litigation,
$10.9 million, costs to settle contractual obligations, $2.9 million, and costs
to dispose of obsolete inventory, $2.9 million. The remaining accrual of $10.1
million relates to contractual obligations and anticipated legal settlements.
The Company expects to spend the majority of the remaining accrual by the end of
2000.
40
<PAGE> 41
The impairment of inventory and rental tool assets of $160.2 million was due
to advances in technology that have obsoleted certain product lines, as well as
a decline in market demand that has resulted in an excess supply of certain
products. Virtually all operating divisions recorded an impairment charge. The
product lines most affected were completion products, drilling and evaluation
systems and tools and tricone and diamond drill bits. Substantially all the
obsolete and slow-moving inventory and rental tools were completely written-off
and will be scrapped.
In the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded an $83.2 million
write-down of PetroAlliance Services Company Limited ("PAS"), a former
consolidated joint venture operating in the former Soviet Union. The write-down
of the joint venture was based upon the Company's estimated value of assets
ultimately received in consideration of the sale of the PAS investment in
November 1998. The Company received as consideration for the sale of PAS a
seismic vessel, other seismic and well-logging assets, certain PASassets in
Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, certain customer receivables and a $33.0 million
note from the purchasers. The write-down included $10.7 million for equipment,
$22.0 million of goodwill, and $50.5 million of net current assets.
The impairment of property and other assets of $75.7 million includes an
$18.1 million write-down to reduce the carrying value of a portion of the
Company's drilling equipment; a $12.6 million write-off of obsolete solid and
oil-filled streamer sections used on seismic vessels; a $14.9 million write-down
of surplus well-logging equipment; a $9.5 million write-off of prepaid royalties
on an abandoned product line; and $20.6 million of assets written down to fair
market value. The charges described as write-offs resulted in the carrying value
of the items being written down to zero. Charges described as write-downs
resulted in the carrying value of the items being written down to estimated fair
value. Estimated fair value was generally determined by discounting the
estimated future cash flows at a rate of 12% and by appraisal techniques. On an
annualized basis, the effect of eliminating depreciation for properties and
assets written down and written off is approximately $12 million.
The write-off of intangible assets of $17.8 million includes $2.7 million for
capitalized software costs for product lines abandoned as a result of recent
acquisitions; $5.3 million for capitalized development costs for software
systems that are being replaced by the Company's implementation of SAP R/3; and
$9.8 million for goodwill associated with a discontinued business and a
subsidiary held for sale. The goodwill resulted from small acquisitions, the
businesses of which had suffered from the downturn in the market conditions
resulting in the Company's decision to discontinue the business and sell the
subsidiary. The write-off represented the entirety of the goodwill for these
acquisitions. In the case of the subsidiary held for sale, the write-down was
based on discussions with potential buyers. The impact of the results of
operations of the businesses in 1999 is not significant.
The write-down of real estate held for sale of $17.0 million is for a
specific property and the charge reduces the carrying value to the property's
appraised value. In September 1998, following the Merger, the Company decided to
sell the facility in order to generate cash to pay down debt. Prior to the
decision to sell the property, the expected future rental income from a
long-term lease was expected to recover the carrying value of the property.
During 1999 the Company sold the property.
The $10.7 million charge is to write-off investments in joint ventures in
both Russia and Indonesia and due to the deteriorating market and economic
conditions in these two countries. The write-off represents the entire amount of
the Company's investment in these two joint ventures. The charge also includes a
$2.8 million loss on the sale of Tracor Europa, a discontinued subsidiary.
1997
During the year ended September 30, 1997, the Company recognized a $51.1
million unusual charge consisting of the following:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In connection with the acquisitions of Petrolite, accounted for as a
purchase, and Drilex, accounted for as a pooling of interests, the Company
recorded unusual charges of $34.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively, to
combine the acquired operations with those of the Company. The charges include
the cost of closing redundant facilities, eliminating or relocating personnel
and equipment and rationalizing inventories which required disposal at amounts
less than cost. A $9.5 million charge was recorded as a result of the decisions
to: (1) discontinue a low margin, oilfield product line in Latin America; and,
(2) sell the Tracor Europa subsidiary, a computer peripherals distributor, which
was written down to net realizable value. Cash provisions of the unusual charge
totaled $18.5 million. The Company spent $5.5 million during 1997, $1.6 million
during the Transition Period, and substantially all of the remaining $11.4
million in 1998.

The Company's policy is to classify commercial paper and short-term borrowings
as long-term debt, to the extent of its committed facilities and to the extent
of its intent to refinance the short-term obligations, since the Company has the
ability under certain credit agreements, and the intent, to maintain these
obligations for longer than one year.

On January 14, 1999, the Company issued $400 million of 6.875% Notes due
January 2029 and $325 million of 6.25% Notes due January 2009 with effective
interest rates of 7.08%, 6.38%, respectively. On February 4, 1999, the Company

the Company issued $100 million of 5.8% Notes due 2003, with effective interest
rates of 6.11% and 6.04%, respectively. The proceeds were used to repay the
7.625% Notes due February 1999, commercial paper and other short-term
borrowings. Accordingly, such amounts are presented as long-term in the
accompanying consolidated statements of financial position.
Maturities of debt at December 31, 1999 are as follows: 2000-$108.1 million;
2001-$164.2 million, 2002-$1.0 million, 2003-$849.4 million; 2004-$347.6
million and $1,343.8 million thereafter.
NOTE 10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
INTEREST RATE SWAPS
At December 31, 1999, the Company was party to an interest rate swap
agreement for a notional amount of $93.0 million on which the Company paid
interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.01% and received interest at a rate of 8.59%.
The interest rate swap settled semi-annually and terminated on January 27, 2000.
On February 4, 1999, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a
notional amount of $325.0 million. The Company receives interest at a rate of
6.25% and pays interest at a rate equal to the average of 6 month LIBOR for the
Yen, Euro and Swiss Franc plus a 3.16% spread. The interest rate swap settles
semi-annually and terminates in January 2009. In the unlikely event that the
counterparty fails to meet the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the
Company's exposure is limited to the interest rate differential.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
At December 31, 1999, the Company had entered into foreign currency forward
contracts with notional amounts of $39.5 million to hedge the commitment to
purchase a seismic vessel, $7.1 million to hedge equipment purchases under a
long-term purchase agreement and $0.7 million to hedge an expected collection
under a long term sales agreement. The fair value of these forward contracts,
based on year-end quoted market prices for contracts with similar terms and
maturity dates, was $39.3 million, $7.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Foreign currency gains and losses for such purchases are deferred and will
become part of the cost of the assets. The counterparties to the Company's
forward contracts are major financial institutions. The credit ratings and
concentration of risk of these financial institutions are monitored on a
continuing basis and, in management's opinion, present no significant credit
risk to the Company.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments include cash and short-term investments,
receivables, investments, payables, debt and interest rate and foreign currency
contracts. Except as described below, the estimated fair value of such financial
instruments at December 31, 1999 and 1998 approximate their carrying value as
reflected in the consolidated statements of financial position. The fair value
of the Company's debt and interest rate and foreign currency contracts has been
estimated based on quoted market prices.
The estimated fair value of the Company's debt at December 31, 1999 and 1998
was $2,723.9 million and $2,818.7 million, respectively, which differs from the
carrying amounts of $2,814.1 million and $2,770.7 million, respectively,
included in the consolidated statements of financial position. The fair value of
the Company's interest rate swap contracts at December 31, 1999 and 1998 was a
$13.8 million payable and a $1.6 million receivable, respectively.

<PAGE> 45
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company sells its products and services to various companies in the oil
and gas industry. Although this concentration could affect the Company's overall
exposure to credit risk, management believes that the Company is exposed to
minimal risk since the majority of its business is conducted with major
companies within the industry. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations
of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral
for its accounts receivables. In some cases, the Company will require payment in
advance or security in the form of a letter of credit or bank guarantee.
The Company maintains cash deposits with major banks which from time to time
may exceed federally insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the
financial condition of the institutions and believes that the risk of any loss
is minimal.
NOTE 11. EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS
The Company has stock option plans that provide for granting of options for
the purchase of common stock to officers and other key employees. These stock
options may be granted subject to terms ranging from one to ten years at a price
equal to or greater than the fair market value of the stock at the date of
grant.
Stock option activity for the Company was as follows:

The Merger with Western Atlas triggered change in control rights contained in
certain Western Atlas employee stock option plans. Conversion of 9.8 million
options with these change in control rights resulted in the issuance of 7.5
million shares of the Company's common stock.
In connection with the Spin-off, all employee and director options of Western
Atlas outstanding immediately prior to the Spin-off were adjusted by increasing
the number of shares subject to the option and decreasing the exercise price per
share so as to preserve the difference between the aggregate exercise price of
the option and the aggregate market value of the shares subject to the option.

Under the terms of the Baker Hughes and Western Atlas stock option plans, all
outstanding options at August 10, 1998 vested as a result of the Merger. At
December 31, 1999, 5.2 million shares were available for future option grants.
The fair market value of the options granted in 1999, 1998, the Transition
Period and 1997 was $11.77 per option, $7.79 per option, $14.47 per option and
$11.18 per option, respectively, using the following assumptions for those
respective years in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model: dividend yield of
2.2%, 2.2%, 0.96% and 1.5%; expected volatility of 55.4%, 49.4%, 36.4% and
33.5%; risk-free interest rate of 6.5%, 4.2%, 5.6% and 6.2%; and expected life
of each option of 5.0 years, 4.3 years, 3.2 years and 4.6 years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
for income tax purposes, and of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The
tax effects of the Company's temporary differences and carryforwards are as
follows:

</TABLE>
A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate
realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate
sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future. The
Company has provided a valuation allowance for operating loss carryforwards in
certain non-U.S. jurisdictions where its operations have decreased, currently
ceased or the Company has withdrawn entirely.
Provision has been made for U.S. and additional foreign taxes for the
anticipated repatriation of certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries of the
Company. The Company considers the undistributed earnings of its foreign
subsidiaries above the amount already provided to be permanently reinvested.
These additional foreign earnings could become subject to additional tax if
remitted, or deemed remitted, as a dividend; however, the additional amount of
taxes payable is not practicable to estimate.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $94.4 million of foreign
tax credits, $40.9 million of general business credits, and $9.7 million of
alternative minimum tax credits available to offset future payments of federal
income taxes, expiring in varying amounts between 2004 and 2020. The alternative
minimum tax credits may be carried forward indefinitely under current U.S. law.
NOTE 13. SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION
The Company's eight business units have separate management teams and
infrastructures that offer different products and services. The business units
have been aggregated into one reportable segment (oilfield) since the long-term
financial performance of these eight business units is affected by similar
economic conditions and the oilfield segment consolidated results are evaluated
regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance.
The oilfield segment consists of the following business units - Baker Atlas,
Baker Hughes INTEQ, Baker Oil Tools, Baker Petrolite, Centrilift, E&P Solutions,
Hughes Christensen and Western Geophysical - that manufacture and sell equipment
and provide services used in the drilling, completion, production and
maintenance of oil and gas wells and in reservoir measurement and evaluation.
The principal markets for this segment include all major oil and gas producing
regions of the world including North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the
Middle East and the Far East. Customers include major multi-national,
independent and national or state-owned oil companies.
48
<PAGE> 49
The accounting policies of the oilfield segment are the same as those
described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company
evaluates the performance of its oilfield segment based on income before income
taxes, accounting changes, nonrecurring items and interest income and expense.
Summarized financial information is shown in the following table. The "Other"
column includes corporate related items, results of insignificant operations
and, as it relates to segment profit (loss), income and expense not allocated to
reportable segments.

effect on the amounts reported for the health care plan.
The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated
benefit obligation for postretirement benefits other than pensions as of
December 31, 1999 was 6.0% for 2000 declining gradually each successive year

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
During the periods reported, generally all Baker Hughes' U.S. employees
(other than (1) those employees that Western Atlas employed prior to the Merger
and (2) those who were covered under one of Baker Hughes' pension plans) were
eligible to participate in the Baker Hughes sponsored Thrift Plan. Prior to
1999, those employees that Western Atlas employed prior to the Merger were
eligible to participate in a separate Western Atlas defined contribution plan.
In 1999, those employees that Western Atlas employed prior to the Merger who
worked for any of the Company's divisions, other than Western Geophysical,
became eligible to participate in the Baker Hughes sponsored Thrift Plan rather
than the Western Atlas defined contribution plan.
The Baker Hughes sponsored Thrift Plan allows eligible employees to elect to
contribute from 2% to 15% of their salaries to an investment trust. Employee
contributions are matched by the Company at the rate of $1.00 per $1.00 employee
contribution for the first 2% and $.50 per $1.00 employee contribution for the
next 4% of the employee's salary. In addition, the Company contributes for all
eligible employees between 2% and 5% of their salary depending on the employee's
age as of January 1 each year. Such contributions become fully vested to the
employee after five years of employment. Baker Hughes' contribution to the
Thrift Plan
52

and other defined contribution plans amounted to $57.5 million, $51.0 million,
$10.6 million and $35.9 million in 1999, 1998, the Transition Period and 1997,
respectively.
With respect to the Western Atlas defined contribution plan, Baker Hughes
contributed an amount based on its consolidated pretax earnings of the
participating businesses in accordance with the provisions of such plan. This
plan includes a voluntary savings feature that is intended to qualify under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and is designed to enhance the
retirement programs of participating employees. Under this feature, Baker Hughes
matches up to 67% of a certain portion of participants' contributions. There
were no employer contributions to this plan in 1999. The contributions to this
plan in 1998, the Transition Period and 1997 were $31.4 million, $10.5 million
and $39.0 million, respectively.
POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
During the periods reported, the Company provided certain postemployment
disability and medical benefits to substantially all qualifying former or
inactive Baker Hughes U.S. employees (other than those employed at the time by
Western Atlas) following employment but before retirement. Starting on January
1, 1999, these same benefits were provided to substantially all qualified and
former and active Western Atlas employees. Disability income benefits
("Disability Benefits"), available at the date of hire, are provided through a
qualified plan which has been funded by contributions from the Company and
employees. The primary asset of the plan is a guaranteed insurance contract with
an insurance company which currently earns interest at 6.5%. The actuarially
determined obligation is calculated at a discount rate of 7.25%. Disability
Benefits expense was $1.3 million, $2.9 million, $.5 million and $1.1 million in
1999, 1998, the Transition Period and 1997, respectively. The continuation of
medical, life insurance and Thrift Plan benefits while on disability and the
service related salary continuance benefits ("Continuation Benefits") were
provided through a nonqualified, unfunded plan until April 1997. The
continuation of the medical benefit portion of the plan was merged into the
disability income benefits plan beginning in April 1997. Expense for
Continuation Benefits, which is primarily interest cost on the projected benefit
obligation, was $5.7 million, $3.6 million, $.6 million and $3.1 million for
1999, 1998, the Transition Period and 1997, respectively.
The following table sets forth the funded status and amounts recognized in
the Company's consolidated statements of financial position for Disability
Benefits and Continuation Benefits:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

========== ==========
</TABLE>
Health care cost assumptions used to measure the Continuation Benefits
obligation are similar to the assumptions used in determining the obligation for
postretirement health care benefits. Additional assumptions used in the
accounting for Continuation Benefits were a discount rate of 7.25% in 1999, 6.5%
in 1998, and increases in compensation of 5% for all periods presented.
NOTE 15. LITIGATION
The Company is sometimes named as a defendant in litigation relating to the
products and services it provides. The Company insures against these risks to
the extent deemed prudent by its management, but no assurance can be given that
the nature and amount of such insurance will in every case fully indemnify the
Company against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings
relating to its ordinary business activities. Many of these policies contain
self insured retentions in amounts the Company deems prudent.
The Company has been named as a defendant in a number of shareholder class
action securities fraud suits following the Company's announcement on December
8, 1999 regarding the accounting issues it discovered at its INTEQ division. See
Note 19. These suits will be consolidated into one lawsuit pursuant to the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company believes the
allegations in these suits are without merit, and the Company intends to
vigorously defend the suits. Even so, an adverse outcome in this class action
litigation could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations
or financial condition.
NOTE 16. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company's past and present operations include activities which are
subject to extensive federal and state environmental regulations.

Baker Hughes Incorporated
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") in
remedial activities related to various "Superfund" sites. Applicable federal law
imposes joint and several liability on each PRP for the cleanup of these sites
leaving the Company with the uncertainty that it may be responsible for the
remediation cost attributable to other PRPs who are unable to pay their share of
the remediation costs. Generally, the Company has estimated its share of such
total cost based on the ratio that the number of gallons of waste estimated to
have been contributed to the site by the Company bears to the total number of
gallons of waste estimated to have been disposed at the site. The Company has
accrued what it believes to have been its pro rata share of the total cost of
remediation of these Superfund sites based upon such a volumetric calculation.
No accrual has been made under the joint and several liability concept since the
Company believes that the probability that it will have to pay material costs
above its volumetric share is remote. The Company believes there are other PRPs
who have greater involvement on a volumetric calculation basis, who have
substantial assets and who may be reasonably expected to pay their share of the
cost of remediation. In some cases, the Company has insurance coverage or
contractual indemnities from third parties to cover the ultimate liability.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had accrued $22.8 million and
$26.4 million, respectively, for remediation costs, including the Superfund
sites referred to above. The measurement of the accruals for remediation costs
is subject to uncertainty, including the evolving nature of environmental
regulations and the difficulty in estimating the extent and type of remediation
activity that will be utilized. The Company believes that the likelihood of
material losses in excess of those amounts recorded is remote.

NOTE 18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At December 31, 1999, the Company had commitments outstanding for capital
expenditures under purchase orders and contracts of approximately $124.1
million. Of this amount, $95.2 million related primarily to construction of a
seismic vessel. The cost of the vessel and related equipment is currently
estimated to be $98.8 million, excluding capitalized interest. Final completion
of the vessel, including the installation of all related seismic equipment, is
not expected until the Company determines market conditions allow for the
opportunity to achieve an acceptable utilization rate.
In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, the
Company is contingently liable for performance under letters of credit and other
financial guarantees totaling approximately $136.8 million at December 31, 1999.
In addition, at December 31, 1999, the Company has guaranteed debt of third
parties totaling $89.2 million. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value
of these financial instruments and management does not expect any material
losses from these financial instruments.
54
<PAGE> 55
At December 31, 1999, the Company had long-term operating leases covering
certain facilities and equipment on which minimum annual rental commitments for
each of the five years in the period ending December 31, 2004 are $68.6 million,
$56.5 million, $44.0 million, $34.4 million and $108.1 million, respectively,
and $38.3 million in the aggregate thereafter. The Company has not entered into
any significant capital leases.
NOTE 19. RESTATEMENT
In December 1999, based on an internal review, the Company became aware of
several accounting misstatements at one of its operating divisions. A subsequent
analysis determined these misstatements amounted to $31.0 million, net of taxes.
As a result, the Company restated its previously issued consolidated financial
statements to reflect the adjustments required to correct these misstatements.
The adjustments relate to uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory
shortages, the recognition of inventory pricing adjustments, the impairment of
various other current and long-lived assets and the recognition of certain
previously unrecorded liabilities, including trade accounts payable and employee
compensation and benefits payable.
As a result of the above, the Company's 1998, Transition Period and 1997
financial statements and related disclosures have been restated from amounts
previously reported. In addition, a prior period adjustment of $27.3 million
related to operating results for periods prior to 1997 decreased retained
earnings at September 30, 1996. As described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation
and Restatement, the Company plans to dispose of Baker Process which is
presented in the consolidated financial statements as "Discontinued Operations."
The caption "As Previously Reported" in the following summarized financial
information reflects Baker Process as a discontinued operation for all periods
presented. The principal effects of these adjustments on the accompanying
financial statements are set forth below:

ARTICLE I
Offices
Section 1. The registered office shall be in the City of Wilmington, County
of New Castle, State of Delaware.
Section 2. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both
within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time
to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.
ARTICLE II
Meetings of Stockholders
Section 1. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such 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.
Section 2. An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on the fourth
Wednesday in April in each year, if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday,
then on the next business day following, at 11:00 a.m. or at such other date and
time as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board
of Directors, for the purpose of electing, subject to Article III, Section 2
hereof, one class of the directors of the Corporation, and transacting such
other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.
Section 3. A majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote at any meeting of stockholders, the holders of which are present in person
or represented by proxy, without regard to class or series, shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by law, by
the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws. A quorum, once
established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less
than a quorum and the votes present may continue to transact business until
adjournment provided that any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved
by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum. If,
however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the
stockholders, a majority of the voting stock represented in person or by proxy
may 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 (30) 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 of record
entitled to vote thereat.

<PAGE> 5
Section 4. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders
of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented
by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the
question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a different vote is required in
which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such
question.
Section 5. At each meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder having the
right to vote may vote in person or may authorize another person or persons to
act for him by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such
stockholder and bearing a date not more than three years prior to said meeting,
unless said instrument provides for a longer period. All proxies must be filed
with the Secretary of the Corporation at the beginning of each meeting in order
to be counted in any vote at the meeting. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the
stockholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature,
telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder's
attorney in fact. Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock
having voting power, registered in his name on the books of the Corporation on
the record date set by the Board of Directors as provided in Article V, Section
6 hereof.
Section 6. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose, or
purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Certificate of
Incorporation, may be called at any time by the Board of Directors or by a
committee of the Board of Directors which has been duly designated by the Board
of Directors and whose powers and authority, as provided in a resolution of the
Board of Directors or in these Bylaws, include the power to call such meetings.
Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may not be called by any
other person or persons. Business transacted at any special meeting of
stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.
Section 7. Any notice requested to be given to stockholders by statute, the
Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, including notice of any meeting of
stockholders, shall be given personally, by first-class mail or by telegraphic
communication, charges prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the address of
such stockholder appearing on the books of the Corporation or given by the
stockholder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice. If no such address
appears on the Corporation's books or has been so given, notice shall be deemed
to have been given if sent by first-class mail or telegraphic communication to
the Corporation's principal executive office, or if published at least once in a
newspaper of general circulation in the county where such principal executive
office is located. Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when
delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by telegram.
If any notice addressed to a stockholder at the address of such stockholder
appearing on the books of a Corporation is returned to the Corporation by the
United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal
Service is unable to deliver the notice to the stockholder at such address, all
further notices shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing
if the same shall be available to the stockholder upon written demand of the
stockholder at the principal executive office of the Corporation for a period of
one year from the date of the giving of such notice.
Section 8. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice to such person of such meeting, except when the person objects at the
beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting
is not lawfully called or convened, or objects to the consideration of matters
not included in the notice of the meeting.

<PAGE> 6
Section 9. The officer or agent 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 their
meeting is to be held, which place shall be 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 open at the time and place of the
meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder
who is present. The stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence
as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine such list or to vote at any
meetings of stockholders.
Section 10. No action shall be taken by stockholders except at an annual or
special meeting of stockholders, and stockholders may not act by written
consent.
Section 11. Before any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors may
appoint any persons other than nominees for office to act as inspectors of
election at the meeting or its adjournment. If no inspectors of election are so
appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and on the request of any
stockholder or a stockholder's proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election at
the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. If
inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more stockholders
or proxies, the holders of a majority of shares or their proxies present at the
meeting shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed. If
any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act,
the chairman of the meeting may, and upon the request of any stockholder or a
stockholder's proxy shall, appoint a person to fill such vacancy.
The duties of these inspectors shall be as follows:
(a) Determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of
each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and
the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies;
(b) Receive votes or ballots;
(c) Hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising
in connection with the right to vote;
(d) Count and tabulate all votes;
(e) Determine when the polls shall close;
(f) Determine the results; and
(g) Do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or
vote with fairness to all stockholders.

<PAGE> 7
Section 12. Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the
Chairman of the Board of Directors, or in his absence, by the Vice Chairman, the
President or by any Vice President, or, in the absence of any of such officers,
by a chairman to be chosen by a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote at
the meeting who are present in person or by proxy. The Secretary, or, in his
absence, any person appointed by the chairman, shall act as secretary of all
meetings of the stockholders.
Section 13. The order of business at all meetings of stockholders shall be
as determined by the chairman of the meeting.
Section 14. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no
business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of the stockholders except in
accordance with the procedures hereinafter set forth in this Section 14;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 14 shall be deemed to preclude
discussion by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual
meeting in accordance with said procedures.
At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be
conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly
brought before an annual meeting, business must be (1) specified in the notice
of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the
Board, (2) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction
of the Board, or (3) otherwise properly brought before the 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
and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than
one hundred twenty (120) days in advance of the first annual anniversary of the
date of the Corporation's proxy statement released to stockholders in connection
with the previous year's annual meeting of stockholders, except that if no
annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting
has been changed by more than thirty (30) calendar days from the date
contemplated at the time of the previous year's proxy statement, notice by the
stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of
business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the
date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. Any
adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the original meeting whereby the meeting
will reconvene within 30 days from the original date shall be deemed for
purposes of notice to be a continuation of the original meeting and no business
may be brought before any such reconvened meeting unless timely notice of such
business was given to the Secretary of the Corporation for the meeting as
originally scheduled. 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 their reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting,
(ii) the name and record address of the stockholder proposing such business,
(iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially
owned by the stockholders, and (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in
such business.
The Chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine
and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the
meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14, and if he should
so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not
properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

<PAGE> 8
Section 15. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, only
persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set
forth in this Section 15 shall be eligible for election as directors of the
Corporation.
Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the
Corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders only (1) by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors or (2) 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 15. Such 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 120 days, nor
more than 150 days, in advance of the first annual anniversary of the date of
the Corporation's proxy statement released to stockholders in connection with
the previous year's annual meeting of stockholders, except that if no annual
meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been
changed by more than 30 calendar days from the date contemplated at the time of
the previous year's proxy statement, 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. Any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the
original meeting whereby the meeting will reconvene within thirty (30) days from
the original date shall be deemed for purposes of notice to be a continuation of
the original meeting and no nominations by a shareholder of persons to be
elected directors of the Corporation may be made at any such reconvened meeting
other than pursuant to a notice that was timely for the meeting on the date
originally scheduled. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth: (i) as to each
person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as
a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be
disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise
required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor regulation thereto (including such
person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and
to serving as a director if elected); and (ii) as to the stockholder giving
notice (A) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of
such stockholder, and (B) the class and number of shares of the Corporation
which are beneficially owned by such stockholder. At the request of the Board of
Directors, any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a
director shall furnish to the Secretary of the Corporation that information
required to be set forth in a stockholder's notice of nomination which pertains
to the nominee.
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
procedures prescribed by this Section 15, and if he should so determine, he
shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be
disregarded.
ARTICLE III
Directors
Section 1. The Board of Directors shall consist of a minimum of nine (9)
and a maximum of twelve (12) directors. The number of directors shall be fixed
from time to time within the minimum and the maximum number established by the
then elected Board of Directors. The number of directors until changed by the
Board shall be twelve (12). The maximum number of directors may not be increased
by the Board of Directors
5
<PAGE> 9
to exceed sixteen without the affirmative vote of 75% of the members of the
entire Board. The directors need not be stockholders. No officer of the
Corporation may serve on a board of directors of any company having a present or
retired employee on the Corporation's Board of Directors. No person may stand
for election as a director if within the previous one (1) year he has resigned
from the Board as a result of the tenure provisions of Article III, Section 3
hereof regarding service for more than ten (10), eleven (11) or twelve (12)
consecutive years on the Board. No person associated with an organization whose
services are contracted by the Corporation shall serve on the Corporation's
Board of Directors; provided, however, that this prohibition may be waived by a
majority of the members of the whole Board if the Board in its judgment
determines that such waiver would be in the best interest of the Corporation.
Section 2. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes,
Class I, Class II and Class III. The number of directors in each class shall be
the whole number contained in the quotient arrived at by dividing the authorized
number of directors by three, and if a fraction is also contained in such
quotient then if such fraction is one-third (1/3), the extra director shall be a
member of Class III, and if the fraction is two-thirds (2/3), one of the extra
directors shall be a member of Class III and the other a member of Class II.
Each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual
meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected;
provided, however, that the directors initially appointed to Class I shall serve
for a term ending on the date of the first annual meeting next following
September 30, 1988, the directors initially appointed to Class II shall serve
for a term ending on the date of the second annual meeting next following
September 30, 1988, and the directors initially appointed to Class III shall
serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting next following
September 30, 1988. One class of the directors shall be elected at each annual
meeting of the stockholders. If any such annual meeting is not held or the
directors are not elected thereat, the directors may be elected at any special
meeting of stockholders held for that purpose. All directors shall hold office
until their respective successors are elected and qualified or until their
earlier death, resignation or removal.
Section 3. Directors who are employees of the Corporation must resign from
the Board of Directors at the time of any diminution in their duties or
responsibilities as an officer, at the time they leave the employ of the
Corporation for any reason or on their 70th birthday. A director's term of
office shall automatically terminate on the date of the annual meeting of
stockholders following: (i) his seventieth (70th) birthday; (ii) the third
anniversary of his retirement from his principal occupation; (iii) unless he is
an officer of the Corporation, the date on which he has served on the
Corporation's Board of Directors a total of ten (10) complete years; (iv) any
fiscal year in which he has failed to attend at least sixty-six percent (66%) of
the meetings of the Board of Directors and any committees of the Board of
Directors on which such director serves; or (v) the first anniversary of any
change in his employment (other than a promotion or lateral movement within the
same organization). The above requirements of Section 3 of Article III may be
waived by a majority of the members of the whole Board (excluding the director
whose resignation would otherwise be required) if the Board in its judgment
determines that such waiver would be in the best interest of the Corporation.
Any director may be removed for cause by the holders of a majority of the shares
of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors; stockholders
may not remove any director without cause. The Board of Directors may not remove
any director for or without cause, and no recommendation by the Board of
Directors that a director be removed for cause may be made to the stockholders
except by the affirmative vote of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of
the members of the whole Board; provided that
6
<PAGE> 10
the Board may remove any director who fails to resign as required by the
provisions of these Bylaws.
Section 4. Except as otherwise provided by statute or the Certificate of
Incorporation, in the case of any increase in the number of directors, such
additional director or directors shall be proposed for election to terms of
office that will most nearly result in each class of directors containing
one-third (1/3) of the entire number of members of the whole Board, and, unless
such position is to be filled by a vote of the stockholders at an annual or
special meeting, shall be elected by a majority vote of the directors in such
class or classes, voting separately by class. In the case of any vacancy in the
Board of Directors, however created, the vacancy or vacancies shall be filled by
majority vote of the directors remaining in the class in which the vacancy
occurs or, if only one such director remains, by such director. In the event one
or more directors shall resign, effective at a future date, such vacancy or
vacancies shall be filled as provided herein. Directors so chosen or elected
shall hold office for the remaining term of the directorship to which appointed.
Any director elected or chosen as provided herein shall serve for the unexpired
term of office or until his successor is elected and qualified or until his
earlier death, resignation or removal.
In the event of any decrease in the authorized number of directors, (a)
each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of
the class of which he is a member until the expiration of this current term, or
his prior death, resignation or removal, and (b) the newly eliminated
directorships resulting from such decrease shall be apportioned by the Board of
Directors to such class or classes as shall, so far as possible, bring the
number of directors in the respective classes into conformity with the formula
in Section 2 hereof as applied to the newly authorized number of directors.
Section 5. The property and business of the Corporation shall be managed by
or under the direction of its Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and
authorities by these Bylaws expressly conferred upon them, the Board may
exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and
things as are not by statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these
Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
Meetings of the Board of Directors
Section 6. The directors may hold their meetings and have one or more
offices, and keep the books of the Corporation outside the State of Delaware.
Section 7. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without
notice at such time and place as shall from time to time be determined by the
Board. Except as otherwise provided by statute, any business may be transacted
at any regular meeting of the Board of Directors.
Section 8. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the
Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman or the President on at least
twenty-four hours' notice, or such shorter period as the person calling deems
appropriate, to each director. Special meetings shall be called by the President
or the Secretary in like manner and on like notice on the written request of any
two directors unless the Board consists of only one director, in which case
special meetings shall be called by the President or Secretary in like manner
and on like notice on the written request of the sole director.
7
<PAGE> 11
Section 9. At all meetings of the Board of Directors a majority of the
authorized number of directors shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the
directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum, shall be the act of
the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by
statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws. If a quorum
shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors
present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other
than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. If only one
director is authorized, such sole director shall constitute a quorum. A meeting
at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business
notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action is approved by at
least a majority of the required quorum for such meeting.
Section 10. Unless otherwise restricted by statute, the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, 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 members of the Board 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 or committee.
Section 11. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation
or these Bylaws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated
by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of
Directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in a
meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.
Committees of Directors
Section 12. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority
of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each such committee to
consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board may
designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may
replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. If no
alternate members have been appointed, the committee 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. The Board of Directors shall, by resolution passed by a majority of the
whole Board, designate one member of each committee as chairman of such
committee. Each such chairman shall hold such office for a period not in excess
of five years, and shall upon surrender of such chairmanship resign from
membership on such committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the
resolution of the Board of Directors, 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, but no such committee shall have the power or
authority to authorize an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (except
that a committee may, to the extent authorized in the resolution or resolutions
providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted by the Board of Directors,
fix the designations and any of the preferences or rights of such shares
relating to dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution of assets of
the Corporation or the conversion into, or the exchange of such shares for,
shares of any other class or classes or any other series of the same or any
other class or classes of stock of the Corporation, or fix the number or shares
of any series of stock or authorize the increase or decrease of the shares of
any series), adopt an agreement of
8
<PAGE> 12
merger or consolidation, recommend to the stockholders the sale, lease or
exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets,
recommend to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation
of a dissolution, or amend the Bylaws of the Corporation; and, unless the
resolution or the Certificate of Incorporation expressly so provide, no such
committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend, to authorize
the issuance of stock or to adopt a certificate of ownership and merger.
Section 13. Special meetings of committees may be called by the Chairman of
such committee, the Chairman of the Board or the President, on at least
twenty-four (24) hours' notice, or such shorter period as the person calling
deems appropriate, to each member. Alternate members shall have the right to
attend all meetings of the committee. The Board of Directors may adopt rules of
the government of any committee not inconsistent with the provisions of these
Bylaws. If a committee is comprised of an odd number of members, a quorum shall
consist of a majority of that number. If the committee is comprised of an even
number of members, a quorum shall consist of one-half (1/2) of that number. If a
committee is comprised of two members, a quorum shall consist of both members.
Section 14. Each Committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and
report the same to the Board of Directors when requested.
Compensation of Directors
Section 15. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation
or these Bylaws, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the
compensation of directors. 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 or a stated salary as
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.
Indemnification
Section 16. (a) The Corporation shall indemnify every person who is or was
a party or is or was 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 or employee of the
Corporation or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries or, while
a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or any of its direct or
indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, as a
director, officer or employee, of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses
(including counsel fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, to the full extent permitted by applicable law; provided that the
Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any such person against any such
action, suit or proceeding which is brought by such person against the
Corporation or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries or the
directors of the Corporation or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries, other than an action brought by such person to enforce his rights
to indemnification hereunder, unless a
9
<PAGE> 13
majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have previously
approved the bringing of such action, suit or proceeding, and provided further
that the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any such person against
any action, suit or proceeding arising out of any adjudicated criminal,
dishonest or fraudulent acts, errors or omissions of such person or any
adjudicated willful, intentional or malicious acts, errors or omissions of such
person.
(b) The Corporation shall indemnify every person who is or was a party or
is or was threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was licensed to practice law
and an employee (including an employee who is or was an officer) of the
Corporation or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and,
while acting in the course of such employment committed or is alleged to have
committed any negligent acts, errors or omissions in rendering professional
legal services at the request of the Corporation or pursuant to his employment
(including, without limitation, rendering written or oral legal opinions to
third parties) against expenses (including counsel fees), judgments, fines, and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding, to the full extent permitted by applicable
law; provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any such
person against any action, suit or proceeding arising out of any adjudicated
criminal, dishonest or fraudulent acts, errors or omissions of such person or
any adjudicated willful, intentional or malicious acts, errors or omissions of
such person.
(c) The Corporation shall indemnify every 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, or employee of the
Corporation, or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries or,
while a director, officer, or employee of the Corporation or any of its direct
or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, as a
director, officer, or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan, 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 and 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 the 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.
(d) To the extent that a director, officer, or employee of the Corporation,
or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this section, 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.
(e) Any indemnification under subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this section
(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized
in the
10
<PAGE> 14
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director,
officer, or employee is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this
section. Such determination shall be made (1) 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 (2) 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 (3) by the stockholders.
(f) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director
of the Corporation or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries in
defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding shall 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 such director or officer 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 Section 16. Such expenses incurred by other employees and
agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of
Directors deems appropriate.
(g) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, this Section 16 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any provision of law, the Corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or other governing
documents of any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation,
or any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise,
both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding any of the positions or having any of the relationships referred
to in this Section 16.
(h) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, this Section 16 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or
ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or
employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.

execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the person
executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee
deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the
Security Register.
(d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance a
record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but
the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Such record date shall be the
later of 10 days prior to the first solicitation of such action or the date of
the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section
701. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after
the record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on the
record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining
whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities Outstanding have
authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the
Securities Outstanding shall be computed as of the record date; provided that
no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on the record date
shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date,
and that no such authorization, agreement or consent may be amended, withdrawn
or revoked once given by a Holder, unless the Company shall provide for such
amendment, withdrawal or revocation in conjunction with such solicitation of
authorizations, agreements or consents or unless and to the extent required by
applicable law.
(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind the
Holder of every Security issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done or suffered to be done
by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Security.
Section 105. Notices. etc., to Trustee and Company. Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of
Securityholders or other document provided or
-13-
<PAGE> 23
permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed
with,
(1) the Trustee by any Securityholder or by the Company shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Trustee
Administration, or
(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Securityholder
shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as
provided in Section 501(4) or, in the case of a request for
repayment, as specified in the Security carrying the right to
repayment) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal
office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument,
Attention: Treasurer, or at any other address previously furnished
in writing to the Trustee by the Company.
Section 106. Notices to Securityholders; Waiver. Where this
Indenture or any Security provides for notice to Securityholders of any event,
such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein or in such
Security expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
prepaid, to each Securityholder affected by such event, at his address as it
appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not
earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In
any case where notice to Securityholders is given by mail, neither the failure
to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular
Securityholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Securityholders. Where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice
in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Securityholders shall be
filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to
the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service
as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it shall be impractical to
mail notice of any event to any Securityholder when such notice is required to
be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any method of
notification as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company shall be
deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Section 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any
provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by any
of Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act through operation
of Section 318(c) thereof, such imposed duties shall control.
Section 108. Effect of Heading and Table of Contents. The
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 109. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and
agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 110. Separability Clause. In case any provision in
this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 111. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture
or in any Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than
the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Authenticating Agent or
Paying Agent, the Security Registrar and the Holders of Securities (or such of
them as may be affected thereby), any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Indenture.
Section 112. Governing Law. This Indenture shall be construed
in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without
regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.
Section 113. Counterparts. This instrument may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
Section 114. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a
Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of
the Securities) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not
be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect (including with respect to the accrual of interest)
as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or at the Stated
Maturity.

other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon,
as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange, or as
may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officer executing such

one of the forms approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board

Trustee the Board Resolution by or pursuant to which such form of Security has
been approved, which Board Resolution shall have attached thereto a true and
correct copy of the form of Security which has been approved thereby or, if a
Board Resolution authorizes a specific officer or officers to approve a form of
Security, a certificate of such officer or officers approving the form of
Security attached thereto. Any form of Security approved by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution must be acceptable as to form to the Trustee, such acceptance
to be evidenced by the Trustee's authentication of Securities in that form or a
certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and delivered to the
Company.

Section 204. Securities Issuable in the Form of a Global
Security. (a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Sections 202 and 301
that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in part
in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and
the Trustee or its agent shall, in accordance with Section 303 and the Company
Order delivered to the Trustee or its agent thereunder, authenticate and make
available for delivery, such Global Security or Securities, which (i) shall
represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of, the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented
by such Global Security or Securities, or such portion thereof as the Company
shall specify in a Company Order, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the
Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall
be delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the
Depositary's instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the
following effect: "Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized
representative of the Depositary to Issuer or its agent for registration of
transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the
name of the nominee of the Depositary or in such other name as is requested by
an authorized representative of the Depositary (and any payment is made to the
nominee of the Depositary or to such other entity as is requested by an
authorized representative of the Depositary), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE
HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the
registered owner hereof, the nominee of the Depositary, has an interest herein."
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 204 or
of Section 305, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the
terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged
in whole or in part for individual Securities, a Global Security may be
-17-
<PAGE> 27
transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 305,
only to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or to the
Depositary, or a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or
approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.
(c) (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities for
such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the
Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global
Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not appointed by
the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes
aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee or its
agent, upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication and delivery of
individual Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security, will
authenticate and make available for delivery individual Securities of such
series of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for such Global Security.
(ii) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion
determine that the Securities of any series or portion thereof issued or
issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be
represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company
will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Request for the
authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange
in whole or in part for such Global Security, will authenticate and make
available for delivery individual Securities of such series of like tenor and
terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such Global Security or Securities representing such series or portion
thereof in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.
(iii) If specified by the Company pursuant to Sections 202 and
301 with respect to Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global
Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global
Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Securities of such
series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are
acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and make available for
delivery, without service charge, (1) to each Person specified by such
Depositary a new
-18-
<PAGE> 28
Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any
authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest as
specified by such Depositary in the Global Security; and (2) to such Depositary
a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination
equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered
Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to
Holders thereof.
(iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding
three paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee or its agent will
authenticate and make available for delivery individual Securities in definitive
registered form in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire
principal amount of a Global Security for individual Securities, such Global
Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in
the preceding paragraph, Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security
pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such
authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee or the Security Registrar. The Trustee shall deliver at its
Corporate Trust Office such Securities to the Persons in whose names such
Securities are so registered.

Series; Terms of Particular Series. The aggregate principal amount of Securities
which may be authenticated and delivered and Outstanding under this Indenture is

The Securities may be issued in one or more series up to an
aggregate principal amount of Securities as from time to time may be authorized
by the Board of Directors. All Securities of each series under this Indenture
shall in all respects be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits hereof
with respect to such series without preference, priority or distinction on
account of the actual time of the authentication and delivery or Stated Maturity
of the Securities of such series.
Each series of Securities shall be created either by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution or by an indenture supplemental hereto. The
Securities of each such series may bear such

date or dates, be payable at such place or places, have such Stated Maturity or
Maturities, be issuable at such premium over or discount from their principal
amount, bear interest at such rate or rates, from such date or dates, payable in

or Repayment Price or Prices, as the case may be, whether at the option of the
Holder or otherwise, and upon such terms, all as shall be provided for in or
pursuant to the Board Resolution or in the supplemental indenture creating that
series. There may also be established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in
a supplemental indenture prior to the issuance of Securities of each such
series, provision for:
(1) the exchange or conversion of the Securities of that
series, at the option of the Holders thereof, for or into new
Securities of a different series or other securities except shares of
capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or
securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for
any such shares;
(2) a sinking or purchase fund or other analogous obligation;

direction in the authentication and delivery of the Securities of any
one or more series in connection with such transactions as shall be
specified in the provisions of this Indenture or in or pursuant to the
Board Resolution or the supplemental indenture creating such series;
(5) the portion of the principal amount of Securities of the
series, if other than the principal amount thereof, which shall be

<PAGE> 30
(6) any Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
such series, if not set forth herein, and any additions, deletions or
other changes to the Events of Default set forth herein that shall be
applicable to the Securities of such series;
(7) any covenant solely for the benefit of the Securities of
such series and any additions, deletions or other changes to the
provisions of Sections 1006, 1007, 1008 and 1009 that shall be
applicable to the Securities of that series;
(8) the inapplicability of section 403 of this Indenture to
the Securities of such series and any covenant with respect to Section
403(b) established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in a
supplemental indenture as described above that has not already been
established herein;
(9) if the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole
or in part in the form of a Global Security or Securities, the terms
and conditions, if any, upon which such Global Security or Securities
may be exchanged in whole or in part for other individual Securities;
and the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities; and
(10) any other terms of the series,
all upon such terms as may be determined in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or
in a supplemental indenture with respect to such series. All Securities of the
same series shall be substantially identical in tenor and effect except as to
denomination and except if issued pursuant to Section 311.
The form of the Securities of each series shall be established
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture in or pursuant to the Board
Resolution or in the supplemental indenture creating such series. The Securities
of each series shall be distinguished from the Securities of each other series
in such manner, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, as the Board of
Directors may determine.
Unless otherwise provided with respect to Securities of a
particular series, the Securities of any series may only be issuable in
registered form, without coupons.
Any terms or provisions in respect of the Securities of any
series issued under this Indenture may be determined pursuant to this Section by
providing for the method by which such terms or provisions shall be determined.
-21-
<PAGE> 31
Section 302. Denominations. The Securities of each series
shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be provided in the provisions
of this Indenture or in or pursuant to the Board Resolution or the supplemental
indenture creating such series. In the absence of any such provisions with
respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of that series shall be
issuable only in fully registered form in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple thereof.
Section 303. Execution, Authentication and Delivery and
Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman, its President or one of its Vice
Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be
manual or facsimile.
Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind
the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall, upon Company
Order, authenticate and make available for delivery such Securities as in this
Indenture provided and not otherwise.
Prior to any such authentication and delivery, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive, in addition to any Officers' Certificate and
Opinion of Counsel required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section
102, and the Board Resolution and any certificate relating to the issuance of
the series of Securities required to be furnished pursuant to Section 202, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that:
(1) all instruments furnished to the Trustee conform to the
requirements of the Indenture and constitute sufficient authority
hereunder for the Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Securities;
(2) the form and terms of such Securities have been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
(3) all laws and requirements with respect to the execution
and delivery by the Company of such Securities have been complied with,
the Company has the corporate power to issue such Securities and such
Securities have
-22-
<PAGE> 32
been duly authorized and delivered by the Company and, assuming due
authentication and delivery by the Trustee, constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their
terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws and
legal principles affecting creditors' rights generally from time to
time in effect and to general equitable principles, whether applied in
an action at law or in equity) and entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture, equally and ratably with all other Securities, if any, of
such series Outstanding;
(4) the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act;
and
(5) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request;
and, if the authentication and delivery relates to a new series of Securities
created by an indenture supplemental hereto, also stating that all laws and
requirements with respect to the form and execution by the Company of the
supplemental indenture with respect to that series of Securities have been
complied with, the Company has corporate power to execute and deliver any such
supplemental indenture and has taken all necessary corporate action for those
purposes and any such supplemental indenture has been executed and delivered and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
in accordance with its terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to
applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws and
legal principles affecting creditors' rights generally from time to time in
effect and to general equitable principles, whether applied in an action at law
or in equity) and, if the authentication and delivery relates to Securities of a
series issued pursuant to Section 311, paragraphs (2) and (3) of the foregoing
opinion shall read as follows:
"(2) the form of such Securities and the procedures for
determining the terms of such Securities as set forth in the procedures
relating thereto referred to in Section 311 have been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and
(3) all laws and requirements with respect to the execution
and delivery by the Company of such Securities have been complied with,
the Company has the corporate power to issue such Securities and such
Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and when duly
executed
-23-
<PAGE> 33
by the Company and completed and authenticated in accordance with the
Indenture and issued, delivered and paid for in accordance with the
applicable selling agency or distribution agreement, will have been
duly issued under the Indenture and will constitute the legal, valid
and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with
their terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws and
legal principles affecting creditors' rights generally from time to
time in effect and to general equitable principles, whether applied in
an action at law or in equity) and entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture, equally and ratably with all other Securities, if any, of
such series Outstanding."
The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such
Securities if the issue thereof will adversely affect the Trustee's own rights,
duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture.
Unless otherwise provided in the form of Security for any
series, all Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication.
No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for
herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon
any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 304. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and, upon receipt
of the documents required by Section 303, together with a Company Order, the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary Securities
which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the
definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities.
If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company
will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the
temporary Securities of such series
-24-
<PAGE> 34
shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of
the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company
in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder; and upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of such series of
authorized denominations and of like tenor and terms. Until so exchanged the
temporary Securities of such series shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.
Section 305. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Company
shall keep or cause to be kept a register or registers (herein sometimes
referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration
of Securities, or of Securities of a particular series, and for transfers of
Securities or of Securities of such series. Any such register shall be in
written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form
within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in
such register or registers shall be available for inspection by the Trustee at
the office or agency to be maintained by the Company as provided in Section
1002. There shall be only one Security Register per series of Securities.
Subject to Section 204, upon surrender for transfer of any
Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of
Payment, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Securities of such series of any authorized denominations, of a like
aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity and of like tenor and terms.
Subject to Section 204, at the option of the Holder,
Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of such series of
any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated
Maturity and of like tenor and terms, upon surrender of the Securities to be
exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
make available for delivery, the Securities which the Securityholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.
All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company,
-25-
<PAGE> 35
evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
Every Security presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed,
or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing.
Unless otherwise provided in the Security to be transferred or
exchanged, no service charge shall be made on any Securityholder for any
transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may (unless otherwise
provided in such Security) require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer
or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304 or 906
not involving any transfer.
The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, transfer or
exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of
Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending
at the close of business on the date of such mailing, or (ii) to transfer or
exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part.
None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Trustee,
any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or
liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests.
Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.
If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and
the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Security, and (ii) there is delivered to the Company and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that
such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall
execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
for delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Security, a new Security of
-26-
<PAGE> 36
like tenor, series, stated maturity and principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security
has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of
any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.
Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
Unless otherwise provided with respect to such Security pursuant to Section 301,
interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose
name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.
Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein
called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of his having
been such Holder; and, except as hereinafter provided, such Defaulted Interest
may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause
(1) or Clause (2) below:
(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
Interest to the Persons in whose names any such Securities (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
business on a Special
-27-
<PAGE> 37
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be
fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each
such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same
time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment,
such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided.
Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment
of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less
than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less
than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company,
shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage
prepaid, to the Holder of each such Security at such Holder's address
as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been
mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the
Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in
any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon
such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given
by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this
Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the
Trustee.
If any installment of interest the Stated Maturity of which is
on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Security called for redemption
pursuant to Article Eleven is not paid or duly provided for on or prior to the
Redemption Date in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section,
such interest shall be payable as part of the Redemption Price of such
Securities.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or
in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and
unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.
Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to Section
307) interest on, such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether
or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any
agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 309. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for
payment, redemption, transfer, or exchange or credit against a sinking fund
shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the
Trustee and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The
Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be
promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Security shall be authenticated in lieu of
or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except
as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall deliver all
cancelled Securities to the Company.
Section 310. Computation of Interest. Unless otherwise
provided as contemplated in Section 301, interest on the Securities shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Section 311. Medium-Term Securities. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision herein, if all Securities of a series are not to be
originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary for the Company to
deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate, Board Resolution, supplemental
indenture, Opinion of Counsel or Company Order otherwise required pursuant to
Sections 102, 202, 301 and 303 at or prior to the time of authentication of each
Security of such series if such documents are delivered to the Trustee or its
agent at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first
Security of such series to be issued; provided that any subsequent request by
the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series upon
original issuance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company
that as of the date of such request, the statements made in the Officers'
Certificate
-29-
<PAGE> 39
or other certificates delivered pursuant to Sections 102 and 202 shall be true
and correct as if made on such date.
A Company Order, Officers' Certificate or Board Resolution or
supplemental indenture delivered by the Company to the Trustee in the
circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph may provide that Securities
which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
or its agent on original issue from time to time in the aggregate principal
amount established for such series pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the
Trustee as may be specified from time to time by Company Order upon the
telephonic, electronic or written order of persons designated in such Company
Order, Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or Board Resolution (any
such telephonic or electronic instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing
by such persons) and that such persons are authorized to determine, consistent
with such Company Order, Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or Board
Resolution, such terms and conditions of said Securities as are specified in
such Company Order, Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or Board
Resolution.
Section 312. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the
Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the
Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made
as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

form of Security for such series), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
