Item 5. Other Events
------------
Coda Energy, Inc. ("Coda") announced on January 11, 1996 that the conditions
to the effectiveness of the December 22, 1995 amendment (the "First Amendment")
to Coda's Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Joint
Energy Development Investments Limited Partnership ("JEDI") and Coda
Acquisition, Inc. have been satisfied. The First Amendment (which removed a
condition to the merger requiring the sale of Coda's natural gas gathering and
processing subsidiary, Taurus Energy Corp., and reduced the per share merger
consideration from $8.00 to $7.75) was subject to (i) negotiation and execution
of amendments to other agreements relating to the Merger Agreement (copies of
which are filed herewith) and (ii) confirmation from the independent financial
advisor to the Special Committee of Coda's Board of Directors that the revised
merger consideration is fair to Coda's stockholders from a financial point of
view.
Coda's Board of Directors has also approved a second amendment to the Merger
Agreement that (i) allows the surviving corporation to issue up to 40,000 shares
of 15% cumulative preferred stock, (ii) amends a schedule to the Merger
Agreement to reflect changes in the number of options and warrants to purchase
common stock of Coda to be exchanged for equity interests in the surviving
corporation by certain persons who will continue in the management of the
surviving corporation, and (iii) provides that the liability of JEDI to make
indemnification payments required under the Merger Agreement (which liability
extends only to the extent of certain distributions made by the surviving
corporation) will not be calculated so as to include any dividends or other
distributions paid in respect of the 15% cumulative preferred stock.
Coda's proxy materials regarding a special meeting of its stockholders for
the purpose of voting on the transaction were cleared by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on January 18, 1996. Coda's Board of Directors has called a
special meeting of the Coda stockholders of record on January 8, 1996 to be held
on Friday, February 16, 1996.

Exhibit E to Amendment No. 1 to Subscription Agreement
ARTICLE IV.
1. The total number of shares of stock which this corporation shall have
authority to issue is 1,040,000 shares, consisting of:
(a) 40,000 shares of preferred stock, all of which are to be of the
par value of $0.01 each and all to be designated the Preferred Stock of the
corporation; and
(b) 1,000,000 shares of common stock, all of which are to be of the
par value of $0.01 each and all to be designated the Common Stock of the
corporation.
2. The voting powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications or
restrictions of the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock are as follows:
(A) Preferred Stock
---------------
(1) Designation. The Preferred Stock is hereby designated "15% Cumulative
-----------
Preferred Stock" (hereinafter sometimes referred to in this Article IV as "15%
Cumulative Preferred Stock"), and the number of shares which shall constitute
such class of stock is 40,000 shares.
(2) Dividends. (a) The holders of each share of 15% Cumulative Preferred
---------
Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of
Directors, out of any funds legally available therefor, cumulative preferential
dividends, at the rate of $150.00 per share per annum. Dividends on shares of
the 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock shall accrue, whether or not earned, from the
date of issuance of such shares of the 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock and, other
than dividends on account of arrears for past dividend periods, shall be payable
in equal installments semi-annually on the last day of June and December in each
year (or, if any such day shall be a Saturday, Sunday, or bank holiday in the
State of Texas, then on the next succeeding business day). The six- month
periods from January 1 to June 30 and July 1 to December 31, inclusive, are
herein called "semi-annual periods".
Any dividend payments on shares of the 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock with
respect to a semi-annual period shall be made in cash, except that if the
corporation shall fail to pay the entire dividend for any semi-annual period in
cash, the corporation may pay the amount of the dividend not made in cash by the
issuance of additional shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock. Any accrued or
unpaid dividends payable upon the redemption of a share of 15% Cumulative
Preferred Stock or upon the liquidation,
<PAGE>
dissolution or winding up of the corporation shall be payable in cash only. The
calculation of the number of shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock to be
issued by the corporation as a dividend pursuant to this paragraph (2) shall be
based on a value per share of the 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock equal to
$1,000.00 per share. All shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock issued as a
dividend shall bear a date of original issuance which is the same as the date on
which such dividend was payable. No fractional interest in shares of 15%
Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be issued as a dividend payment. Each holder of
15% Cumulative Preferred Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to a
fractional share of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock as a dividend payment on the
aggregate number of shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock for which such
holder is entitled to receive dividends will receive, in lieu of such fractional
share, a cash amount, rounded to the nearest full cent, determined by
multiplying such fraction of a share by $1,000.00. All shares of 15% Cumulative
Preferred Stock issued as a dividend will be duly authorized, fully paid and
nonassessable.
If the corporation shall fail to pay a semi-annual dividend either in cash
or by the issuance of additional shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock, then
additional dividends shall be deemed to accrue on the amount of dividend so
unpaid, compounding semi-annually, at the rate of 15% per annum, which
additional dividends shall be payable by the corporation, at its option, either
in cash or by the issuance of additional shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred
Stock.
(b) Dividends on shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be
cumulative and shall accrue on a daily basis from the date of issuance of such
shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock regardless of whether or not the
corporation shall have funds legally available for the payment of such
dividends. Dividends on the 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock payable for any
period less than or greater than a full semi-annual period shall be paid on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. Dividends will be payable to
holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the corporation on such
record dates as may be declared by the Board of Directors of the corporation,
not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof,
as may be fixed by the Board of Directors of the corporation or a duly
authorized committee thereof. Dividends on account of arrears for any past
dividend periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any
regular dividend payment date, to holders of record on a date not more than 60
days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment date thereof as may be fixed by
the Board of Directors of the corporation or a duly authorized committee
thereof. Holders of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any
dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full
cumulative dividends. Except as provided in the last paragraph of the preceding
paragraph (2)(a), no interest or sum of money in lieu of interest shall be
payable in respect of any accumulated unpaid dividends.
(c) As long as any shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock are
outstanding, no dividends whatsoever, whether paid in cash, stock, or otherwise
(except for dividends
<PAGE>
paid in shares of Common Stock, either in the form of a stock split or stock
dividend), shall be paid or declared, or any distribution (except as aforesaid
and except for distributions payable upon the complete liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the corporation after payment or provision for payment of the
debts and other liabilities of the corporation and payment or setting aside for
payment of the preferential amount due to the holders of 15% Cumulative
Preferred Stock) shall be made, on any Common Stock to the holders of such stock
(any such dividend or distribution being herein called a "Restricted Payment")
unless (i) the remaining net assets of the corporation, after giving effect to
such Restricted Payment, shall at least equal the aggregate preferential amount
to which the 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock is entitled pursuant to the
provisions of this Article IV, in the event of the voluntary liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of the corporation, and (ii) all dividends on the 15%
Cumulative Preferred Stock for all past semi-annual periods shall have been paid
or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart.
(d) Shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock in excess of 20,000 shares
shall be issuable only for the purpose of paying dividends on the 15% Cumulative
Preferred Stock as permitted by paragraphs (2)(a) and (2)(b) hereof.
(3) Redemption. (a) The 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be redeemed
----------
as a whole by the corporation at a redemption price of $1,000 per share, plus
all accrued and unpaid dividends (including undeclared dividends) to the date
of redemption, if the corporation shall have sufficient funds legally available
for such redemption and if such redemption would not violate or conflict with
any loan agreement, credit agreement, note agreement, indenture, or other
agreement relating to indebtedness (an "Approved Loan Agreement") to which the
corporation is a party on or before the fifth business day (the "Redemption
Date") after the earliest to occur of the following:
(i) the closing of the sale by the corporation of Taurus Energy Corp.
("Taurus") whether by merger, sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of Taurus, sale of all or substantially all of the capital stock of
Taurus, or otherwise; and
(ii) a Trigger Event (as such term is defined in that certain
Stockholders Agreement dated October 30, 1995, as amended, among Coda
Acquisition, Inc. and the other parties thereto).
provided that if the corporation either does not have sufficient funds legally
available for such redemption or such redemption would violate or conflict with
the provisions of an Approved Loan Agreement, the corporation shall have no
obligation to redeem the 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock on the Redemption Date.
Instead, the corporation shall redeem on the Redemption Date the number of
shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock, if any, which the corporation can
redeem out of the funds legally available for such purpose and without violating
or conflicting with the provisions of any Approved Loan Agreement, and it shall
redeem the remainder of the shares of 15% Cumulative
<PAGE>
Preferred Stock as soon as the corporation shall have legally available funds
which are sufficient to effect such redemption without violating or conflicting
with the provisions of any Approved Loan Agreement.
(b) The 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the corporation
at its option, as a whole or in part, to the extent the corporation shall have
funds legally available for such redemption, at any time or from time to time at
a redemption price of $1,000.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends
(including undeclared dividends) to the date of redemption.
(c) In case of the redemption of only part of the 15% Cumulative Preferred
Stock, the shares to be redeemed may be selected ratably or in such other
equitable manner as may be prescribed by resolution of the Board of Directors of
the corporation.
(4) Liquidation Preference. (a) Upon the complete liquidation,
----------------------
dissolution, or winding up of the corporation, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, the 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled, after
payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the
corporation but before any distribution is made to the holders of any Common
Stock, to be paid $1,000.00 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends
(including undeclared dividends), and shall not be entitled to any further
payment.
(b) In case the net assets of the corporation are insufficient to pay all
outstanding shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock the liquidation preferences
to which they are respectively entitled, then the entire net assets of the
corporation shall be distributed ratably to all outstanding shares of 15%
Cumulative Preferred Stock according to the amount due each such share.
(5) Voting. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein or required by law,
------
the holders of shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to
vote on any matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the corporation.
(b) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, so long as any shares of the
15% Cumulative Preferred Stock are outstanding, the corporation shall not,
without the written consent or the affirmative vote of holders of at least a
majority of the total number of shares of 15% Cumulative Preferred Stock then
outstanding and voting as a class, (i) amend its Certificate of Incorporation or
