NOTE 3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

   On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138. 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


                                       5
<PAGE>   7
                            BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED
         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED


derivative and its effectiveness, 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. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 resulted
in a gain of $0.8 million, net of tax, recorded as the cumulative effect of an
accounting change in the consolidated condensed statement of operations and a
gain of $1.2 million, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income.

   The Company monitors its exposure to various business risks including
commodity price, foreign exchange rate and interest rate risks and occasionally
uses derivative financial instruments to manage the impact of certain of these
risks. The Company's policies do not permit the use of derivative financial
instruments for speculative purposes. The Company uses forward exchange
contracts and currency swaps to hedge certain firm commitments and transactions
denominated in foreign currencies. The Company uses interest rate swaps to
manage interest rate risk. The Company also uses crude oil swaps and collars to
hedge price risk associated with the Company's crude oil production.

   At the inception of any new derivatives, the Company designates the
derivative as a cash flow hedge or fair value hedge. The Company documents all
relationships between hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its
risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge
transactions. The Company assesses whether the derivatives that are used in
hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of
the hedged item at both the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis.

   To qualify for hedge accounting, the derivative must qualify either as a fair
value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of the net investment in foreign
operations. A fair value hedge is a hedge of a recognized asset or liability on
an unrecognized firm commitment. Both the effective and ineffective portions of
the changes in the fair value of the derivative, along with the gain or loss on
the hedged item, are recorded in earnings and reported in the consolidated
condensed statements of operations on the same line as the hedged item. A cash
flow hedge is a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash
flows to be received or paid in the future related to a recognized asset or
liability. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the
derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. When the
hedged item is realized, the gain or loss included in accumulated other
comprehensive income is reported on the same line in the consolidated condensed
statements of operations as the hedged item. In addition, both the fair value
changes excluded from the Company's effectiveness assessments and the
ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives used as cash
flow hedges are immediately recognized in earnings. The Company does not hedge
any of its net investments in foreign operations.

   At March 31, 2001, the Company had one interest rate swap that qualified as a
fair value hedge. It was fully effective, resulting in no net gain or loss
recorded in the consolidated condensed statement of operations.

   At March 31, 2001, the Company had one remaining crude oil contract (costless
collar) and two foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts qualified as
cash flow hedges. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a loss
of $1.5 million ($1.0 million after tax) in accumulated other comprehensive
income to recognize the effective portion of its cash flow hedges. In addition,
the Company recorded a loss of $0.8 million ($0.5 million after tax) in revenue
in the consolidated condensed statement of operations to recognize the
ineffective portion of its cash flow hedges. The gain of $0.2 million recorded
in accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2001 will be
reclassified into earnings in the second quarter of 2001 upon maturity of all
three of these contracts.


NOTE 4. UNUSUAL ITEMS

   During the first quarter of 2001, the Company recorded unusual charges of
$7.0 million summarized below:

         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED


   The severance relates to the restructuring of the Baker Process operations in
Germany. The employee groups to be terminated will be marketing, manufacturing,
engineering, field service and support personnel. The amount accrued for
severance is based upon the positions eliminated and the Company's written
severance policy or applicable legal requirements and does not include any
portion of the employees' salary through their severance dates. No payments were
made during the first quarter of 2001. Based on current estimates, the Company
expects that all of the accrued severance will be paid during 2001.

   During the first quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $7.1
million, including $2.7 million of unrealized gains, related to its holdings in
Varco International, Inc.

NOTE 7. SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

   The Company has eight divisions that have separate management teams and
infrastructures that offer different products and services. The divisions have
been aggregated into two reportable segments, "Oilfield" and "Process".

   The Oilfield segment consists of six divisions - Baker Atlas, Baker Hughes
INTEQ, Baker Oil Tools, Baker Petrolite, Centrilift and Hughes Christensen -
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. They have been aggregated because the long-term
financial performance of these divisions is affected by similar economic
conditions and the consolidated results are evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision makers in deciding how to


                                       7

allocate resources and in assessing performance. 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 oil companies.
The Oilfield segment also includes the Company's interest in an oil and gas
property in Nigeria and equity in income of affiliates.

   The Process segment consists of two divisions - Bird Machine Company and
EIMCO Process Equipment - that manufacture and sell process equipment for
separating solids from liquids and liquids from liquids through filtration,
sedimentation, centrifugation and flotation processes. The principal markets for
this segment include all regions of the world where there are significant
industrial, chemical, and municipal wastewater applications and base metals
activity. Customers include municipalities, contractors, engineering companies
and pulp and paper, minerals, industrial and oil and gas producers. The Process
segment also includes a refining and production product line.

   The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on income before
income taxes, accounting changes, unusual items and interest income and expense.
Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant.

   Summarized segment financial information is shown in the following table. The
"Other" column includes corporate-related items, net interest expense and, as it
relates to segment profit (loss), income and expense items not allocated to
reportable segments.

         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED


NOTE 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

   On April 26, 2001, the Company announced that it was calling its outstanding
Liquid Yield Options Notes ("LYONS") due 2008 for redemption on May 28, 2001, at
a redemption price of $786.13 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity. As of the
redemption date, if all of the outstanding LYONS are redeemed, the total amount
that the Company would pay to the holders of the LYONS would be $302.9 million.
Prior to the redemption date, holders of the LYONS have the right to convert
each $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the LYONS into 18.599 shares of the
Company's common stock. If all of the holders of the LYONS converted their LYONS
into shares of the Company's common stock prior to the redemption date, the
Company would issue 7.2 million shares. The Company intends to fund the cash it
needs for the redemption through the issuance of commercial paper.

        ITEM 2. 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 Company's
consolidated condensed financial statements and the related notes thereto.

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, and the negative
thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. 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' expectations regarding its level of capital expenditures
described in "-Capital Resources and Liquidity - 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; and
the need to replace any unanticipated losses in capital assets.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

   The Company has eight divisions each with separate management teams and
infrastructures that offer different products and services. The divisions have
been aggregated into two reportable segments - "Oilfield" and "Process".

   The Oilfield segment currently consists of six divisions - Baker Atlas, Baker
Hughes INTEQ, Baker Oil Tools, Baker Petrolite, Centrilift and Hughes
Christensen - that manufacture and sell equipment and provide related services
used in exploring for, developing and producing hydrocarbon reserves. The
Oilfield segment also includes the Company's interest in an oil and gas property
in Nigeria.

   The Process segment consists of two divisions - Bird Machine Company and
EIMCO Process Equipment - that manufacture and sell process equipment for
separating solids from liquids and liquids from liquids through filtration,
sedimentation, centrifugation and flotation processes. The Process segment also
includes a refining and production product line.

   The business environment for the Company's Oilfield segment 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.
Additionally, the Company's 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 markets
are:

-   Production control: the degree to which OPEC nations and other large
    producing countries are willing and able to restrict production and exports
    of crude oil.


                                       10
<PAGE>   12
-   Global economic growth: particularly the impact of a slowing U.S. economy on
    economic activity in Japan, China, South Korea and the developing areas of
    Asia where the correlation between energy demand and economic growth is
    strong.

-   Oil and gas storage inventories: relative to historic levels.

-   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.

-   Maturity of the resource base: of known hydrocarbon reserves in the maturing
    provinces of the North Sea, U.S., Canada and Latin America.

-   The pace of new investment: access to capital and the reinvestment of
    available cash flow into existing and emerging markets.

-   Price volatility: the impact of widely fluctuating commodity prices on the
    stability of the market and subsequent impact on customer spending.

-   Weather: the impact of variations in temperatures as compared with normal
    weather patterns and the related effect on demand for oil and natural gas.

OIL AND GAS PRICES

   Generally, customer expectations about their prospects from oil and gas sales
and customer expenditures to explore for or produce oil and gas rise or fall
with corresponding changes in the prices of oil or gas. Accordingly, changes in
these expenditures will normally result in increased or decreased demand for the
Company's products and services in its Oilfield segment. Crude oil and natural
gas prices are summarized in the table below as averages of the daily closing
prices during each of the periods indicated. 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 and gas demand, oil and gas prices and
drilling activity.

</TABLE>

   During the three months ended March 31, 2001, oil prices averaged $28.75 per
barrel, ranging from a low of $25.96 per barrel to a high of $32.19 per barrel.
Oil prices were unchanged compared with the first quarter of 2000 as a
resurgence in worldwide demand led by a recovery of Asian markets, coupled with
lower production levels from non-OPEC countries, led to continued low global
inventory levels. The resulting low global oil inventories, particularly in
North America, provided stronger price support and increased stability in the
market.

   U.S. natural gas prices increased in the three months ended March 31, 2001
compared with the three months ended March 31, 2000, averaging $6.45/MMBtu and
ranging from a low of $4.92/MMBtu to a high of $10.20/MMBtu. The increase in
average price and volatility is due to a reduction in available gas supply
brought about by the low levels of gas directed drilling in the U.S. during the
mid and late 1990's and an increase in demand for natural gas from continued
economic growth and the seasonally cold winter of 2000/2001. The price increase
was sustained by concerns that natural gas would be in short supply through the
2001 summer injection season and that target storage levels for the beginning of
the winter 2001/2002 withdrawal season would not be met.

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


                                       11
<PAGE>   13
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. The Company's rotary rig counts are
summarized in the table below as averages for each of the periods indicated and
are based on weekly rig counts for the U.S. and Canada and monthly rig counts
for all other areas.

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.

   Oil - Through the balance of 2001, oil prices are expected to be influenced
primarily by expectations for U.S. economic growth and OPEC's willingness and
ability to control production to achieve its price targets. Other factors that
could influence prices include worldwide economic growth, changes in non-OPEC
oil supply and weather. Oil prices are expected to decrease slightly throughout
the year, trading between $25 and $28/Bbl. If OPEC is willing and able to act
aggressively to maintain prices, oil prices could be sustained between $29 and
$33/Bbl for the balance of the year. On the other hand, if OPEC experiences
difficulty in controlling production, oil prices could fall to $22/Bbl by the
end of 2001.

   Natural Gas - U. S. natural gas prices are expected to remain strong
throughout 2001, averaging between $4.50/MMBtu and $6.00/MMBtu with price spikes
above this range caused by weather driven demand. Prices are expected to remain
strong because of continued low storage levels, increased demand and reduced
supply throughout the 2001 injection season and through the winter of 2001/2002.

   Customer Spending - Based upon the Company's discussions with its major
customers and review of published industry surveys and reports, anticipated
customer spending trends are as follows:

   -  North America - customer spending directed at developing natural gas is
      expected to increase 10-15% in 2001 as compared with 2000, but is likely
      to be limited by the availability of drilling rigs, crews and oilfield
      services in North America.

   -  Outside North America - customer spending directed at developing oil
      supplies is expected to increase 15-20%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

   Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001 decreased 1.0% to $1,228.5
million compared with revenues of $1,240.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000. Excluding revenues from Western Geophysical, the Company's
seismic division that was contributed to a joint venture in November 2000,
revenues increased 19.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with
the three months ended March 31, 2000.

   Oilfield revenues, excluding Western Geophysical, increased 22.7% to $1,156.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with revenues of
$942.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Geographically,
revenues in North America, which account for 45.8% of total Oilfield revenues,
increased 31.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with the
three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase reflects the increased drilling
activity in this area, as evidenced by a 32.7% increase in the North American
rig count, and improved pricing for the Company's products and services. Outside
North America, Oilfield revenues increased 15.8% for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2000. This
increase reflects the ongoing improvement in international drilling activity,
particularly in Latin America, the North Sea, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.

   Process revenues decreased 13.5% to $72.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 compared with revenues of $83.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000. The decrease is primarily due to decreased customer
spending as customers, fearing a potential economic slowdown, delayed
maintenance spending and reduced purchases of spare part inventories.

GROSS MARGIN

   Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 was 27.6% and
20.3%, respectively. Excluding Western Geophysical, gross margins for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were 27.6% and 24.1%, respectively. The
improvement in gross margin is the result of pricing improvements for the
Company's products and services, primarily in North America, continued cost
management measures throughout the Company and higher utilization of the
Company's assets, including rental tool fleets and manufacturing capacity.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

   Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense as a percentage of
consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, was
16.5% and 15.5%, respectively. Excluding Western Geophysical, SG&A expense as a
percentage of consolidated revenues was 16.5% and 18.4%, respectively, for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. This decrease in SG&A expense as a
percentage of consolidated revenues is primarily due to a higher revenue base
while general and administrative expenses remained flat and selling expenses
increased due to increased activity levels.

UNUSUAL CHARGES

2001

   During the first quarter of 2001, the Company recorded unusual charges of
$7.0 million as summarized below:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>
       Severance for approximately 100 employees              $6.0
       Loss on sale of a product line                          1.0
       -----------------------------------------------------------
         Total                                                $7.0
       ===========================================================
</TABLE>

   The severance relates to the restructuring of the Baker Process operations in
Germany. The employee groups to be terminated will be marketing, manufacturing,
engineering, field service and support personnel. The amount accrued for
severance is based upon the positions eliminated and the Company's written
severance policy or applicable legal requirements and does not include any


                                       13
<PAGE>   15
portion of the employees' salary through their severance dates. No payments were
made during the first quarter of 2001. Based on current estimates, the Company
expects that all of the accrued severance will be paid during 2001.

2000

   In October 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Company's plan
to substantially exit the oil and gas exploration business, resulting in an
unusual charge of $105.0 million. The cash provision of the charge totaled $13.3
million and consisted of $5.5 million of severance costs for approximately 50
employees and $7.8 million for other contractual obligations. Of the total cash
charge of $13.3 million, $0.6 million was paid as of December 31, 2000. No
payments were made during the first quarter of 2001. Based on current estimates,
the Company expects that the majority of the remaining $12.7 million accrual
will be paid in 2001.

INTEREST EXPENSE

   Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2001 totaled $34.1
million, a decrease of $10.1 million compared with the three months ended March
31, 2000. The decrease was primarily due to lower debt levels. Average
commercial paper and money market borrowings for the three months ended March
31, 2001 was $189.2 million compared with $1,082.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000. The reduction in commercial paper and money market
borrowings was primarily due to the cash proceeds received from the formation of
Western GECO in November 2000.

GAIN ON TRADING SECURITIES

   In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company announced its intention to sell
its holdings of Varco International, Inc. ("Varco"), and reclassified these
holdings from available for sale securities to trading securities. During the
first quarter of 2000, the Company recorded pre-tax gains of $7.1 million,
including unrealized gains of $2.7 million, related to these holdings.

INCOME TAXES

   The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and
2000 was 33.7%, and 33.9%, respectively. These rates differ from the statutory
income tax rate of 35.0% due to lower taxes from international operations
partially offset by the non-deductibility of certain goodwill amortization.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

   Net cash inflows from operating activities were $63.6 million and $91.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The
reduction in cash flow is due to an increase in working capital due to increased
activity levels.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

   Net cash outflows from investing activities were $37.4 million and $133.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.

   Expenditures for capital assets totaled $52.7 million and $196.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Excluding Western
Geophysical, expenditures for capital assets were $52.7 million and $91.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The
decrease is primarily due to reduced expenditures for oil and gas properties as
a result of the Company's decision in 2000 to substantially exit the oil and gas
exploration business. The Company currently expects 2001 capital expenditures to
be between $300.0 million to $360.0 million excluding any acquisitions. Funds
provided from operations and outstanding lines of credit are expected to be
adequate to meet future capital expenditure requirements.


                                       14
<PAGE>   16
   Proceeds from the disposal of assets generated $13.9 million and $28.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Proceeds from the sale of the Company's Varco holdings generated $34.3 million
in the three months ended March 31, 2000.

   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 (outflows) inflows from financing activities were $(23.6) million
and $60.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The decrease in cash flow is primarily due to the Company repaying
$27.3 million in commercial paper and short-term debt during the three months
ended March 31, 2001 compared with borrowing $94.3 million in commercial paper
and short-term debt during the three months ended March 31, 2000.

   Total debt outstanding at March 31, 2001 was $2,034.5 million compared with
$2,062.9 million at December 31, 2000. The decrease in debt is primarily due to
payments on the Company's commercial paper and short-term borrowings with cash
flow from operations and $15.3 million in proceeds from the disposal of assets
and the sale of a product line. The debt to equity ratio was 0.66 at March 31,
2001 compared with 0.68 at December 31, 2000.

   At March 31, 2001, the Company had $1,246.1 million of credit facilities with
commercial banks, of which $750.5 million was committed. These facilities are
subject to normal banking terms and conditions that do not significantly
restrict the Company's activities.

DERIVATIVE AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING

   On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138. 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 and its effectiveness, 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. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 resulted
in a gain of $0.8 million, net of tax, recorded as the cumulative effect of an
accounting change in the consolidated condensed statement of operations and a
gain of $1.2 million, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income.

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 participating member countries. However, the legacy currencies
in those countries will continue to be used as legal tender through December 31,
2001. Thereafter, the legacy currencies will be canceled, and Euro bills and
coins will be used in the participating countries.

   Most of the Company's products and services are essentially priced with
reference to the U.S. dollar. As a result, 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, both of which are short term in nature.
Longer term contracts 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 1997, the Company began a multi-year initiative designed to develop
and implement an enterprise-wide software system. The initiative, named "Project
Renaissance," utilizes SAP R/3 as its software platform across all


                                       15
<PAGE>   17
significant operations of the Company. 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
December 31, 2001. Alternatively, 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 began converting
certain legacy currency based financial records to the Euro beginning in January
2001 with all significant records expected to be converted by September 30,
2001.

   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 words "anticipate", "will", "may", and "expects" are 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 failure of the Company to implement SAP R/3 or another Euro compliant
computer system in a geographic location that prices in Euros, 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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE MARKET RISK DISCLOSURES


   On September 15, 2000, the Company entered into two crude oil contracts
(costless collars) to hedge price risk associated with the Company's interest in
an oil producing property in Nigeria. One crude oil contract matured on March
31, 2001. The remaining contract, which uses WTI-Nymex as the reference
commodity, establishes a cap of $33.00 and a floor of $27.00 for the three month
period ending June 30, 2001. The fair market value of these contracts at March
31, 2001 was a $0.8 million asset.

   At March 31, 2001, the Company had entered into foreign currency forward
contracts with notional amounts of $20.0 million and $7.3 million to hedge
exposure to currency fluctuations in the British Pound and Canadian dollar,
respectively. At March 31, 2001, the fair market value of these forward
contracts, based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar terms and
maturity dates, was a $0.7 million liability.

   Certain borrowings of the Company are denominated in currencies other than
its functional currency. At March 31, 2001, these nonfunctional currency
borrowings totaled $12.1 million with exposures between the U.S. Dollar and the
British Pound, the Saudi Riyal, the United Arab Emirates Dirham and the
Malaysian Ringgit. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against these
currencies would not have a significant effect on the future earnings of the
Company.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   The Company has been named as a defendant in a number of shareholder class
action securities fraud suits that purported stockholders of the Company filed
shortly after the Company's announcement on December 8, 1999 regarding the
accounting issues that the Company discovered at its Baker Hughes INTEQ
division. These suits were consolidated into one lawsuit in the federal district
court for the Southern District of Texas pursuant to the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The court has dismissed this suit, and the
plaintiffs have filed a notice of appeal with respect to the dismissal in the
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company believes the allegations in this
suit are without merit and that the plaintiffs will be unsuccessful in their
appeal. The Company intends to vigorously contest the appeal and defend the suit
if the plaintiffs are successful on appeal. Even so, an adverse outcome on
appeal and in any subsequent litigation could have an adverse impact on the
Company's results of operations or financial condition.

                                     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.


                                       1
<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.


                                       2

        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.


                                       3
<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.

        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 eleven (11). 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.

                                   ARTICLE IV

<PAGE>   15
        Section 4. Any officer may be removed, either with or without cause, by
the Board of Directors, at any regular or special meeting thereof, or except in
case of an officer chosen by the Board of Directors, by any officer upon whom
such power of removal may be conferred by the Board of Directors, provided that
such removal shall not prejudice the remedy of such officer for breach of any
contract of employment.

        Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the
Corporation. Any such resignation shall take effect on receipt of such notice or
at any later time specified therein. Unless otherwise specified therein, the

such resignation is without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Corporation
under any contract to which the officer is a party.

stockholders and the Board of Directors. He shall have the general powers and
duties of management usually vested in the office of President of a corporation,
and shall have such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by the Board of
Directors or the Bylaws.

        Section 9. In the absence or disability of the President, the Vice

        Section 6. Whenever, under the provisions of the statutes, the

notice may be given in writing, by mail, addressed to such director, at his
address as it appears on the records of the Corporation (unless prior to mailing
of such notice he shall have filed with the Secretary a written request that
notices intended for him be mailed to some other address, in which case such
notice shall be mailed to the address designated in the request) with postage

thereto.

        Section 8. The Board of Directors shall present at each annual meeting,
