<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registration Statement was filed in connection with (i)&nbsp;a proposed exchange offer of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2026 (the
&#147;Notes&#148;) issued by PDC Energy, Inc. for 5.750% Senior Notes due 2026 to be issued by Chevron U.S.A. and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Chevron and cash, and (ii)&nbsp;the related consent solicitation (together, the &#147;Exchange
Offer&#148;) to amend the indenture governing the Notes. As of the date hereof, the Registrants do not expect that a majority of the outstanding Notes will be tendered prior to the expiration date of the Exchange Offer and that the conditions to the

protection of investors. </P>
