                               HALLIBURTON COMPANY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Management Representation
      The  Company  employs  accounting  policies  that are in  accordance  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles in the United States. The preparation
of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  requires  Company  management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial  statements,  and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Ultimate results could differ from those estimates.
      The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial  statements
present information in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
for interim financial information,  the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable
rules of Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all  information or
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial  statements and should be read in conjunction  with the Company's 1995
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
      In the  opinion of the  Company,  the  financial  statements  include  all
adjustments  necessary to present fairly the Company's  financial position as of
September 30, 1996;  the results of its operations for the three and nine months
ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995;  and its cash flows for the nine months then
ended.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended  September
30,  1996  and 1995 may not be  indicative  of  results  for the full  year.  In
connection  with the  discontinuance  of the Company's  insurance  segment,  the
Company  has adopted a  classified  balance  sheet  format.  Certain  prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

</TABLE>

      About 40% of all sales items  (including  related  work in process and raw
materials) are valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. If the average
cost method had been in use for inventories on the LIFO basis, total inventories
would have been about $18.3 million higher than reported at September 30, 1996.

Note 3. General and Administrative Expenses
      General and  administrative  expenses were $43.7 million and $33.8 million
for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  General
and administrative  expenses were $118.2 million and $112.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Note 4. Income Per Share
      Income per share  amounts are based upon the average  number of common and
common share equivalents  outstanding.  Common share equivalents included in the
computation  represent  shares  issuable upon assumed  exercise of stock options
which have a dilutive effect.

Note 5. Related Companies
      The Company conducts some of its operations  through various joint venture
and other  partnership  forms which are accounted  for using the equity  method.
Included in the Company's revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 are equity in income of related  companies  of $25.5  million and $23.3
million,  respectively.  The amounts  included  in revenues  for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1996  and 1995  are  $66.1  million  and  $63.7  million,
respectively.  European Marine Contractors, Limited (EMC), which is 50% owned by
the  Company  and  part  of  Brown  &  Root  Energy  Services,   specializes  in
engineering,  procurement  and  construction  of  marine  pipelines.  Summarized
operating results for 100% of the operations of EMC are as follows:

      In the second quarter of 1996,  M-I Drilling  Fluids,  L.L.C.,  one of the
Company's  joint  ventures  which is 36% owned  and a part of  Energy  Services,
purchased Anchor Drilling Fluids.  The Company's share of the purchase price was
$41.3 million and is included in cash flows from other investing activities.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
      The  Company is  involved  as a  potentially  responsible  party  (PRP) in
remedial  activities  to clean up various  "Superfund"  sites  under  applicable
Federal  law  which  imposes  joint  and  several  liability,  if  the  harm  is
indivisible,  on certain  persons  without regard to fault,  the legality of the
original  disposal,  or ownership of the site.  Although it is very difficult to
quantify the potential impact of compliance with environmental  protection laws,
management  of the Company  believes  that any  liability  of the  Company  with
respect to all but one of such sites will not have a material  adverse effect on
the  results of  operations  of the  Company.  With  respect to a site in Jasper
County,  Missouri (Jasper County Superfund Site), sufficient information has not
been developed to permit  management to make such a determination and management
believes the process of determining the nature and extent of remediation at this
site and the total costs thereof will be lengthy.  Brown & Root,  Inc.  (Brown &
Root), a subsidiary of the Company,  has been named as a PRP with respect to the
Jasper County Superfund Site by the  Environmental  Protection Agency (EPA). The
Jasper County  Superfund  Site includes  areas of mining  activity that occurred
from the 1800's through the mid 1950's in the southwestern  portion of Missouri.
The site  contains lead and zinc mine  tailings  produced from mining  activity.
Brown & Root is one of nine  participating  PRPs which have  agreed to perform a
Remedial  Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS), which, due to various delays,
is not expected to be completed  until the fourth quarter of 1997.  Although the
entire Jasper County  Superfund Site comprises 237 square miles as listed on the
National  Priorities  List,  in the  RI/FS  scope  of  work,  the EPA  has  only
identified  seven areas,  or subsites,  within this area that need to be studied
and then possibly remediated by the PRPs. Additionally, the Administrative Order
on Consent for the RI/FS only requires Brown & Root to perform RI/FS work at one
of the subsites  within the site,  the Neck/Alba  subsite,  which only comprises
3.95  square  miles.  Brown &  Root's  share  of the cost of such a study is not
expected to be material.  At the present time Brown & Root cannot  determine the
extent  of its  liability,  if any,  for  remediation  costs  on any  reasonably
practicable basis.
     The  Company  and its  subsidiaries  are  parties  to various  other  legal
proceedings.  Although the ultimate  dispositions  of such  proceedings  are not
presently  determinable,  in the opinion of the Company any  liability  that may
ensue will not be material in relation to the  consolidated  financial  position
and results of operations of the Company.

Note 7.  Acquisitions
     On October 4, 1996,  the  Company  completed  its  acquisition  of Landmark
Graphics Corporation (Landmark) through the merger of Landmark with a subsidiary
of the Company,  the conversion of the outstanding Landmark common stock into an
aggregate of  approximately  10.2 million  shares of common stock of the Company
and the  assumption by the Company of  outstanding  Landmark stock options ( for
the exercise of which the Company has reserved an aggregate of approximately 1.5
million shares of common stock of the Company).
     Landmark,  together with its  subsidiaries,  designs,  markets and supports
sophisticated computer-aided exploration and computer-aided reservoir management
software and systems. Geologists,  geophysicists,  petrophysicists and engineers
in  more  than  70  countries  use  Landmark  products  in  exploration  for and
production of oil and gas.
     Landmark offers an extensive line of integrated  software  applications for
seismic   processing,    three   dimensional   and   two   dimensional   seismic
interpretation, geologic and petrophysical interpretation, mapping and modeling,
well log and production analysis,  drilling and production  engineering and data
management.  Through its service consulting business, Landmark provides software
training,  on-site  support and  assistance in designing  computer  networks and
integrating  applications and data. In addition to providing  software products,
Landmark  is a  value-added  reseller of  workstations  and other  hardware  and
provides  a range of  services,  including  software  and  systems  support  and
training,  systems  configuration  and  network  design  and  data  loading  and
management.
     The  acquisition  has been  accounted  for using the "pooling of interests"
method of accounting for business  combinations.  For the fiscal year ended June
30, 1996, Landmark had consolidated revenues of $187.3 million, operating income
of $4 million and net income from continuing operations of $5.3 million. At June
30,  1996,  Landmark  had  consolidated  total  assets  of  $231.1  million  and
stockholders' equity of $165.4 million.
     The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial statements do not give
retroactive  effect to this  transaction as it was not completed until after the
end of the current reporting period.  The following  supplemental  unaudited pro
forma  combined  financial  information  is based on the unaudited  consolidated
financial  statements  of the Company and  Landmark to give effect to the merger

Note 9.  Special Charges
     In September  1996,  the Company  recognized  special  charges to operating
income of $65.3 million ($42.7 million after tax) related to  reorganization  of
Engineering and  Construction  Services,  severance costs for combining  general
support functions  throughout the Company,  and certain other business structure
costs.
     The Company recognized  severance costs of $41.0 million to provide for the
termination of approximately  one thousand  employees  related to reorganization
efforts at Engineering  and  Construction  Services and plans to combine various
administrative  support functions into combined shared services for the Company.
The  terminations  impact  mostly  middle and senior  management  levels  within
business unit operations,  business unit support, and general and administrative
areas. The terminations are to occur primarily during the fourth quarter of 1996
and first half of 1997.  The  Company  also  recognized  $20.2  million of costs
associated with  restructuring  certain  Engineering and  Construction  Services
businesses, providing for excess lease space and other items.
     The above  charges  to net income  were  offset by tax  credits  during the
quarter  of  $43.7  million  due  to  the  recognition  of  net  operating  loss
carryforwards  and the settlement  during the quarter of various issues with the
Internal  Revenue  Service.  The Company  reached  agreement  with the  Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) and recognized net operating loss  carryforwards  of $62.5
million  ($22.5  million  in tax  benefits)  from  the 1989  tax  year.  The net
operating  loss  carryforwards  are expected to be utilized in the 1996 and 1997
tax years.  In  addition,  the Company also  reached  agreement  with the IRS on
issues related to  intercompany  pricing of goods and services for the tax years
1989  through 1992 and entered into an advanced  pricing  agreement  for the tax
years 1993  through  1998.  As a result of these  agreements  with the IRS,  the
Company  recognized tax benefits of $16.1 million.  The Company also  recognized
net operating loss carryforwards of $14.0 million ($5.1 million in tax benefits)
in certain foreign areas due to improving  profitability  and  restructuring  of
foreign operations.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
         Results of Operations.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK

      In accordance  with the safe harbor  provisions of the Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform Act of 1995,  the Company  notes that the  statements in this
10-Q and  elsewhere,  which are  forward  looking and which  provide  other than
historical  information,  involve  risks and  uncertainties  that may impact the
Company's  actual  results  of  operations.   Future  trends  for  revenues  and
profitability  remain  difficult  to  predict  in the  industries  served by the
Company.  The Company continues to face many risks and uncertainties  including:
unsettled  political  conditions,  war,  civil  unrest,  currency  controls  and
governmental actions in countries of operation;  trade restrictions and economic
embargoes; environmental laws, including those that require emission performance
standards  for  new and  existing  facilities;  the  magnitude  of  governmental
spending  for  military  and  logistical  support  of the type  provided  by the
Company;  operations  in higher risk  countries;  technological  and  structural
changes in the industries served by the Company; changes in the price of oil and
natural  gas;  changes in  capital  spending  by  customers  in the  hydrocarbon
industry for  exploration,  development,  production,  processing,  refining and
pipeline delivery networks; changes in capital spending by customers in the wood
pulp and paper  industries  for  plants  and  equipment;  and  changes  in world
economic   conditions   related  to  capital   spending   by   governments   for
infrastructure.
      The Company  operates in over 100 countries  around the world to provide a
variety of energy services and engineering and construction services. Operations
in  some   countries  may  be  affected  by  unsettled   political   conditions,
expropriation  or other  governmental  actions and exchange control and currency
problems.  Recently  enacted United States law provides for sanctions on foreign
companies and, in some cases, their affiliates which make certain investments in
petroleum  resources in Iran or Libya or sell to such countries certain products
or  technology  which  enhance the ability of those  countries to develop  their
petroleum resources.  This new law may adversely impact the Company's ability to
provide services and/or products to some of its foreign customers, including the
cessation  of  operations  and trading by certain  foreign  subsidiaries  of the
Company with customers in such countries. Although at the present time it is not
possible to determine the exact nature of the impact of such law on the Company,
it is possible that the Company's  ability to realize the value of equipment and
other assets,  including accounts receivable,  associated with such business may
become  impaired  and that such  impairment  may be  material  to the results of
operations of the Company for some future period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third Quarter of 1996 Compared with the Third Quarter of 1995
Revenues
      Consolidated  revenues  increased  22% to  $1,813.3  million  in the third
quarter of 1996 compared with $1,489.8  million in the same quarter of the prior
year. Approximately 55% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from
international  activities  in the third  quarter of 1996  compared to 50% in the
third quarter of 1995. Consolidated  international revenues increased 33% in the
third quarter of 1996 over the third quarter of 1995. Consolidated United States
revenues  increased  by 10% in the third  quarter of 1996  compared to the third
quarter of 1995.
      Energy Services  revenues  increased by 14% compared with a 9% increase in
drilling  activity as measured by the  worldwide  rotary rig count for the third
quarter of 1996 over the same quarter of the prior year.  International revenues
increased by 9%, reflecting growth in Europe/Africa, Latin America, Middle East,
and Canada.  United  States  revenues  increased 21% while the United States rig
count increased 8% over the same quarter of the prior year.
      Engineering and Construction  Services revenues  increased 28% to $1,034.3
million  compared with $806.8  million in the same quarter of the prior year due
primarily to higher  activity  levels in the energy and chemicals  industries as
well as increased activity pursuant to a service contract with the US Department
of Defense to provide technical and logistical support for military peacekeeping
operations in Bosnia.

Operating income
      Consolidated  operating income decreased 42% to $64.8 million in the third
quarter of 1996  compared  with $111.1  million in the same quarter of the prior
year. The operating income in the third quarter of 1996 includes special charges
of  $65.3  million  for  the  reorganization  of  Engineering  and  Construction
Services,   reorganization  of  various  company-wide   administrative   support
functions,  and other  business  structure  costs.  See Note 9 to the  condensed
consolidated   financial  statements  for  additional  information  about  these
charges.  Excluding the special  charges noted above,  operating  income for the
quarter was $130.1 million, or 17% higher than the prior year period.  Excluding
the special charges,  approximately 68% of the Company's  consolidated operating
income was derived from  international  activities  in the third quarter of 1996
compared to 71% in the third quarter of 1995.
      Energy Services  operating  income  increased 15% to $101.8 million in the
third  quarter of 1996  compared  with $88.2  million in the same quarter of the
prior  year.  The  operating  margin  for the  third  quarter  of 1996 was 13.1%
compared to the prior year operating  margin of 12.9%. The increase in operating
income in 1996 is related  to higher  activity  levels in  several  areas of the
world:  North  America  in the  Permian  Basin  and South  Texas  areas and from
deepwater  drilling in the Gulf of Mexico;  Europe/Africa,  primarily related to
the North Sea,  Angola/Cabinda  area,  and the Congo  basin;  Asia/Pacific;  the
Middle East; Russia; and Kazakhstan.
      Engineering and  Construction  Services  operating income increased 20% to
$37.5 million  compared to $31.2 million in the third quarter of the prior year.
The increase in operating income includes profits from projects for the pulp and
paper and chemicals industry customers and income from the service contract with
the US Department of Defense  mentioned  above.  These  increases were partially
offset by lower energy  income  primarily  driven by lower  activity by European
Marine Contractors, Limited, and losses on several civil jobs. Operating margins
were 3.6% in the third  quarter of 1996 compared to 3.9% in the prior year third
quarter.

 Nonoperating items
      Interest  expense  decreased to $6.8 million in the third  quarter of 1996
compared to $15.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year due primarily to
the  redemption  of the  zero  coupon  convertible  subordinated  debentures  in
September  1995,  and the  redemption of the $42.0 million term loan in December
1995.
      Interest  income  decreased  in 1996  primarily  due to  lower  levels  of
invested cash due mainly to the redemption of long-term debt.
      Foreign currency losses were $0.5 million for the third quarter of 1996 as
compared to $2.5 million for the same quarter in 1995.  The third quarter of the
prior year included losses in the Nigerian naira.

<PAGE>

      The benefit (provision) for income taxes in the third quarter of 1996 is a
benefit of $21.3  million as  compared to a  provision  of $34.9  million in the
prior year  quarter.  The benefit in 1996  includes tax credits of $43.7 million
due to the  recognition of net operating loss  carryforwards  and the settlement
during the quarter of various issues with the Internal Revenue Service. See Note
9 to the condensed  consolidated financial statements for additional information
on the tax benefits recognized in the third quarter of 1996.

Net income
      Net  income  from  continuing  operations  in the  third  quarter  of 1996
increased  20% to $82.6  million,  or 71 cents per  share,  compared  with $68.8
million, or 60 cents per share, in the same quarter of the prior year.

First Nine Months of 1996 Compared with the First Nine Months of 1995
Revenues
      Consolidated  revenues increased 26% to $5,251.5 million in the first nine
months of 1996 compared  with  $4,161.3  million in the same period of the prior
year. Approximately 54% of the Company's consolidated revenues were derived from
international activities in the first nine months of 1996 compared to 51% in the
same period of 1995.  Consolidated  international  revenues increased 34% in the
first  nine  months of 1996 over the same  period of 1995.  Consolidated  United
States  revenues  increased by 18% in the first nine months of 1996  compared to
the same period of 1995.
      Energy Services  revenues  increased by 15% compared with a 6% increase in
drilling  activity as measured by the  worldwide  rotary rig count for the first
nine  months of 1996  over the same  period  of the  prior  year.  International
revenues  increased by 12%,  reflecting  growth in the  Europe/Africa  and Latin
America  markets.  United States revenues  increased 19% while the United States
rig count increased 6% over the same period of the prior year.
      Engineering and Construction  Services revenues  increased 35% to $3,087.7
million  compared  with  $2,279.7  million in the same nine month  period of the
prior year due primarily to higher activity levels in the pulp and paper, energy
and chemicals industries as well as a service contract with the US Department of
Defense to provide  technical and logistical  support for military  peacekeeping
operations in Bosnia.

Operating income
      Consolidated  operating income decreased 5% to $255.7 million in the first
nine months of 1996 compared with $269.8 million in the same period of the prior
year.  The current  year  operating  income  includes  special  charges of $65.3
million  for  the  reorganization  of  Engineering  and  Construction  Services,
reorganization of various  company-wide  administrative  support functions,  and
other  business  structure  costs.  See  Note  9 to the  condensed  consolidated
financial statements for additional  information about these charges.  Excluding
the special charges noted above, operating income for the nine months was $321.0
million,  or 19%  higher  than the prior  year  period.  Excluding  the  special
charges,  approximately 71% of the Company's  consolidated  operating income was
derived from international  activities in the first nine months of 1996 compared
to 67% in the same period of 1995.
      Energy Services  operating  income  increased 24% to $261.2 million in the
first nine months of 1996 compared with $211.5 million in the same period of the
prior  year.  The  operating  margin for the first nine months of 1996 was 12.1%
compared to the prior year operating  margin of 11.2%. The increase in operating
income in 1996 is primarily  related to higher  activity levels in North America
from deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico; Europe/Africa,  primarily related
to the North Sea; and Latin America, from activities in Mexico.
      Engineering and Construction  Services operating income for the first nine
months of 1996 was $86.2  million  compared  to 1995  operating  income of $80.2
million.  Operating  margins  were 2.8% in for the first nine months of 1996 and
3.5% for the same period in 1995.  Results for the nine months  include fees for
the service  contract to provide  technical and logistical  support for military
peacekeeping operations in Bosnia as well as $35.0 million of income relating to
gain sharing revenue on the Brown & Root portion of the cost savings realized on
the BP Andrew alliance. The alliance completed the project seven months ahead of
the  scheduled  production of oil and achieved a $125 million  savings  compared
with the targeted cost.  This was offset by a $17.1 million  reduction in income
due  to  lower  activity  levels  and  revenues  generated  by  European  Marine
Contractors,  Limited,  and a $17.1 million charge relating to the impairment of
Brown & Root's equity in the Dulles Greenway toll road extension project.

Nonoperating items
      Interest  expense  decreased to $17.5  million in the first nine months of
1996  compared  to  $40.1  million  in the same  period  of the  prior  year due
primarily  to  the  redemption  of  the  zero  coupon  convertible  subordinated
debentures in September  1995, and the redemption of the $42.0 million term loan
in December 1995.
      Interest  income  decreased  in 1996  primarily  due to  lower  levels  of
invested cash due mainly to the redemption of long-term debt.
      Foreign  currency  losses  were $2.5  million for the first nine months of
1996 as  compared to a gain of $0.6  million  for the same  period in 1995.  The
prior year period  benefited from a gain in the first quarter of 1995 in Nigeria
from the devaluation of the naira which was offset by losses  primarily  related
to the Mexican peso. The current year losses are primarily  attributable  to the
devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.
      The  provision  for income taxes in the first nine months is $43.8 million
as  compared  to a  provision  of $92.1  million in the prior year  period.  The
provision in 1996 is net of tax credits of $43.7 million due to the  recognition
of net operating loss  carryforwards and the settlement during the third quarter
of various issues with the Internal Revenue Service. See Note 9 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements for additional information on the tax benefits
recognized in 1996.

Net income
      Net income  from  continuing  operations  in the first nine months of 1996
increased  24% to $201.2  million,  or $1.74 per  share,  compared  with  $161.9
million, or $1.41 per share, in the same period of the prior year.

Realignment of product and service lines
         The Company has announced  plans to realign  certain of its product and
service  lines  to  exploit  opportunities  with  its  energy  based  customers.
Beginning in the 1996 fourth quarter,  the Energy Services business segment will
include  Halliburton  Energy  Services;  Brown  & Root  Energy  Services,  which
includes the  upstream  oil and gas  engineering  and  construction  activities;
Landmark  Graphics  Corporation,   which  includes  integrated  exploration  and
production information systems and professional services; and Halliburton Energy
Development,  which has been  formed to create  business  opportunities  for the
development, production and operation of customers' oil and gas fields.
         In addition, the Company has announced a restructuring of the remaining
services of the Engineering and  Construction  Services segment into two service
lines to more closely align with its  customers.  One service line will focus on
delivering engineering and construction services to commercial customers and the
other will focus on servicing  government and municipal  customers.  The cost of
implementing  this program is reflected in the 1996 third  quarter $65.3 million
pre-tax charge.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company ended the third quarter of 1996 with cash and  equivalents  of
$35.1 million, a decrease of $139.8 million from the end of 1995.

Operating activities
      Cash flows from operating activities were $149.0 million in the first nine
months of 1996, as compared to $353.0  million in the first nine months of 1995.
The major  operating  activity use of cash in 1996 was to fund  working  capital
requirements  related to increased revenues from Energy Services and Engineering
and Construction Services.

Investing activities
      Cash flows used in  investing  activities  were $264.1  million and $158.1
million in the first nine  months of 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Included  in
1996 investing activities is $41.3 million related to the Company's share of the
purchase price of a subsidiary acquired by the Company's M-I Drilling affiliate.
Capital expenditures made by Energy Services for fixed assets were $44.9 million
higher in the first nine months of 1996 compared to the prior year period.

Financing activities
      Cash flows used in financing  activities  were $23.2  million in the first
nine months of 1996 compared to $498.1 million in the first nine months of 1995.
The Company  borrowed $51.5 million in short-term  bank  borrowings in the first
nine months of 1996 to fund cash requirements.  Proceeds from exercises of stock
options provided $14.4 million in the first nine months of 1996 compared to $1.8
million in the same period of the prior year.  The Company  redeemed  the entire
outstanding principal amount of zero coupon convertible  subordinated debentures
during the third quarter of 1995 of $390.7 million.
      The Company has the ability to borrow additional  short-term and long-term
funds if necessary.

LANDMARK GRAPHICS ACQUISITION

      On October 4, 1996,  the Company  completed  its  acquisition  of Landmark
Graphics  Corporation  in a  stock  transaction.  See  Note 7 to  the  condensed
consolidated financial statements for additional information.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

      The Company  completed  its exit from the  insurance  industry  segment on
January 23,  1996,  with  distribution  of the  Company's  property and casualty
insurance subsidiary,  Highlands Insurance Group, Inc., to its shareholders in a
tax-free  spin-off.  The  operations of the Insurance  Services  Group have been
classified as discontinued operations.  See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements for additional information.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

       The Company is involved as a  potentially  responsible  party in remedial
activities to clean up various  "Superfund"  sites under applicable  Federal law
which  imposes  joint and  several  liability,  if the harm is  indivisible,  on
certain persons without regard to fault, the legality of the original  disposal,
or  ownership  of the  site.  Although  it is very  difficult  to  quantify  the
potential impact of compliance with environmental protection laws, management of
the Company  believes  that any liability of the Company with respect to all but
one of such  sites  will not have a material  adverse  effect on the  results of
operations of the Company.  See Note 6 to the condensed  consolidated  financial
statements for additional information on the one site.

Incorporation  and  not by  statute  required  to be  exercised  or  done by the
stockholders.
     17.  Each  member  of the  Board  shall be paid  such  fee as the  Board of

                                    Vacancies
     26. If any office of the Corporation is vacant for any reason, the Board of
Directors may choose a successor,  who shall hold office for the unexpired term,

determine.

                       Duties of Officers May Be Delegated
     27. In case of the absence, inability or refusal to act of any officer, the

for the time being.

                              Certificate of Stock
     28. The Board of Directors  may make such rules and  regulations  as it may
deem expedient for the issuance,  transfer and  registration of certificates for
shares of stock of the Corporation, including the appointment of transfer agents
and registrars.
     Such  certificates  shall  be  numbered  and  entered  on the  books of the
Corporation as they are issued, and shall set forth the holder's name and number
of shares and shall be  impressed  with the  corporate  seal or bear a facsimile
thereof,  and  shall be  signed by the  Chairman  of the  Board  (if  any),  the
President or any Vice President and the Secretary or Assistant  Secretary of the
Corporation and countersigned by an independent transfer agent and registered by
an independent registrar.  Any or all of the signatures may be facsimiles unless
the  regulations  of the New York Stock Exchange then in effect shall require to
the contrary. In case any officer,
                                        9

<PAGE>

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

                                Transfer of Stock
     29.  Transfer of stock shall be made on the books of the  Corporation  only
upon  written  order of the person  named in the  certificate  or his  attorney,
lawfully constituted in writing and upon surrender of such certificate.
     30. In order that the Corporation may determine the  stockholders  entitled
to  notice  of or to vote at any  meeting  of  stockholders  or any  adjournment
thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting,
or  entitled  to  receive  payment  of any  dividend  or other  distribution  or
allotment  of any rights,  or entitled to exercise  any rights in respect of any
change,  conversion  or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful
action,  the Board may fix, in advance,  a record date,  which shall not be more
than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor
more  than  sixty  (60) days  prior to any  other  action.  A  determination  of
stockholders  of  record  entitled  to  notice  of or to  vote at a  meeting  of
stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;  provided,  however,
that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
     31. All checks,  unless otherwise directed by the Board, shall be signed by
the Treasurer or Assistant  Treasurer and  countersigned  by the Chairman of the
Board (if any), President,  any Vice President or the Controller.  The Treasurer
or  Assistant  Treasurer,  Chairman of the Board (if any),  President,  any Vice
President, the Controller, or any one of them, may

                                       10

<PAGE>

appoint  such  officers or employees  of the  Corporation  as the one or ones so
making the  appointment  shall deem  advisable to audit and approve  Corporation
vouchers  and  checks  and to  sign  such  checks  with an  approved  mechanical
check-signer.  Any officer or employee so designated  to audit,  approve or sign
checks shall execute a bond to the  Corporation in such amount as the Directors,
from  time to  time,  may  designate,  and  with  sureties  satisfactory  to the
Directors.  All notes,  debentures and bonds,  unless otherwise  directed by the
Board, or unless otherwise  required by law, shall be signed by the Treasurer or
Assistant  Treasurer  and  countersigned  by the Chairman of the Board (if any),
President or any Vice President.

                                    Dividends
     32. Dividends upon the capital stock,  when earned,  may be declared by the
Board at any regular or special meeting.
     33.  Before  payment of any  dividend,  there shall be set aside out of the
surplus or net  profits of the  Corporation  such sum or sums as the  Directors,
from time to time, think proper as a reserve fund to meet contingencies,  or for
such other  purposes as the Directors  shall think  conducive to the interest of
the Corporation.
     34. Whenever,  under the provisions of these By-laws, notice is required to
be given it shall not be construed to mean personal notice,  but such notice may
be given in writing by mail, addressed to such stockholder, officer or Director,
at such  address as appears on the  records  of the  Corporation,  with  postage
thereon  prepaid,  and such notice  shall be deemed to be given at the time when
the same shall be deposited in the United States mail.  Notice may also be given
by prepaid  telegram,  telex or  facsimile  transmission,  which notice shall be
deemed to have been given when sent or transmitted.

                                       11

<PAGE>

     35. Any  stockholder,  Director or officer may waive any notice required to
be given under these By-laws.
     36. These By-laws may be altered or repealed at any regular  meeting of the
stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders at which a quorum is
present or represented,  provided notice of the proposed alteration or repeal be
contained in the notice of such special meeting,  by the affirmative vote of the
majority of the  stockholders  entitled  to vote at such  meeting and present or
represented  thereat, or by the affirmative vote of the majority of the Board of
Directors at any regular  meeting of the Board, or at any special meeting of the
Board, if notice of the proposed alteration or repeal be contained in the notice
of such special  meeting;  provided,  however,  that no change in these  By-laws
setting the time or place of the meeting for the election of Directors  shall be
made within  sixty (60) days next before the day on which such  meeting is to be
held, and that in case of any change in such time or place, notice thereof shall
be given to each  stockholder  in person or by letter  mailed to his last  known
post office address at least twenty (20) days before the meeting is held.
                       Provisions for National Emergencies
     37.  During  periods of  emergency  resulting  from an attack on the United
States or on a  locality  in which the  Corporation  conducts  its  business  or
customarily  holds  meetings of its Board of Directors or its  stockholders,  or
during  any  nuclear  or  atomic  disaster,  or  during  the  existence  of  any
catastrophe,  or other similar  emergency  condition,  the following  provisions
shall apply  notwithstanding  any different  provisions  elsewhere  contained in
these By-laws:
          (a) Whenever,  during such emergency and as a result thereof, a quorum
of the Board of  Directors or a standing  committee  thereof  cannot  readily be
convened for action, a

                                       12

<PAGE>

meeting  of such  Board or  committee  thereof  may be called by any  officer or
Director by a notice of the time and place  given only to such of the  Directors
as it may be  feasible to reach at the time and by such means as may be feasible
at the time,  including  publications  or radio.  The  Director or  Directors in
attendance at the meeting shall constitute a quorum; provided, however, that the
officers or other persons present who have been designated on a list approved by
the Board  before the  emergency,  all in such order of priority  and subject to
such conditions and for such period of time as may be provided in the resolution
approving such list, or in the absence of such a resolution, the officers of the
Corporation who are present, in order of rank, and within the same rank in order
of  seniority,  shall to the  extent  required  to  provide  a quorum  be deemed
Directors for such meeting.
          (b) The  Board,  either  before  or  during  any such  emergency,  may
provide,  and from time to time modify,  lines of  succession  in the event that
during such emergency any or all officers or agents of the Corporation shall for
any reason be rendered incapable of discharging their duties.
          (c) The  Board  either  before  or  during  any such  emergency,  may,
effective  in the  emergency,  change  the  head  office  or  designate  several
alternative  head offices or regional  offices,  or authorize the officers so to
do.
          (d) No officer,  Director or employee  acting in accordance  with this
article shall be liable except for willful misconduct.
          (e) To the  extent  not  inconsistent  with  this  article,  all other
articles of these Bylaws shall remain in effect during any  emergency  described
in this article and upon its termination the provisions of this article covering
the duration of such emergency shall cease to be operative.

                        Divisions and Divisional Officers
                            Groups and Group Officers
     38. (a) Divisions of the Corporation may be formed,  and existing divisions
dissolved, by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or through
designation in writing by the President.
          The President of the Corporation, or his delegate, shall supervise the
management  and  operations  of its  divisions  and shall have the  authority to
appoint  the  officers  thereof  and the  power to  remove  them and to fill any
vacancies.
          To the extent not  inconsistent  with these By-laws or a resolution of
the Board of Directors of the  Corporation,  the officers of each division shall
perform  such duties and have such  authority  with  respect to the business and
affairs of that division as may be granted,  from time to time, by the President
of the  Corporation,  or his  delegate.  With  respect  to the  affairs  of such
division  and in the regular  course of business of such  division,  officers of
each  division  may  sign  contracts  and  other  documents  in the  name of the
division, where so authorized;  provided,  however, subject to the provisions of
the next succeeding sentence of this Paragraph,  that an officer of one division
shall not have authority to bind any other division of the  Corporation,  nor to
bind the Corporation,  except as to the normal and usual business and affairs of
the division of which he is an officer.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions of the
preceding sentence, if a division of the Corporation is formed to provide shared
services for the Corporation and/or its operating units, officers, to the extent
that and with  respect  to  matters  to which  they  have  been  delegated  such
authority in writing by the President or his delegate,  may execute contracts in
the name of and bind the Corporation or any of its divisions; provided, however,
that no officer of a division
                                        14

<PAGE>

formed to perform  shared  services  shall  contract in the name of or otherwise
bind a  subsidiary  or other  legal  entity  in which  the  Corporation  owns an
interest  with respect to shared  services  matters  unless such officer of such
division  taking such action (i) is an officer of such  subsidiary or such other
legal  entity and is duly  authorized  to take such action in the name of and on
behalf of such  subsidiary  or other  legal  entity or (ii) takes such action on
behalf of such  subsidiary or other legal entity pursuant to the grant of a duly
authorized power of attorney. A divisional officer,  unless specifically elected
to one of the designated  offices of the Corporation,  shall not be construed as
an officer of the Corporation.
          (b) To facilitate  the  attainment of certain goals and  objectives by
various divisions and subsidiaries of the Corporation engaged in common pursuits
or in activities within the same or similar areas of business activity,  a group
or groups of such  subsidiaries and divisions may be formed by resolution of the
Board of Directors of the  Corporation or through  designation in writing by the
President of the Corporation, or his delegate.
          The activities of any such group shall be administered and coordinated
by  the  officers  of  the  group  and,  if  desired  by  the  President  of the
Corporation,  or his delegate,  by an operating  committee.  In such event,  the
number  of  members  of such  operating  committee  shall be  determined  by the
President of the  Corporation,  or his  delegate,  who shall appoint the members
thereof  and have the power to remove them and  substitute  other  members.  The
duties of any such operating committee shall be to aid in the administration and
coordination of group  activities and to consult with and advise the officers of
the group in achieving goals and objectives of such group.


                                       15

<PAGE>

          Officers of a group established  pursuant to the provisions hereof may
include a chairman,  a president,  one or more vice presidents,  a treasurer,  a
secretary and such other officers as may facilitate operations of the group. The
President, or his delegate,  shall have the authority to appoint the officers of
a group and the power to remove  them and to fill any  vacancies.  To the extent
not inconsistent with these By-laws or a resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Corporation, the officers of each group shall have such duties and authority
with respect to the activities and affairs of the group as may be granted,  from
time to time, by the President of the Corporation, or his delegate.
          Contracts  may not be entered  into in the name of any group,  but any
officer of the group,  where so  authorized,  may  execute  contracts  and other
documents in the name of the  Corporation  on behalf of the members of the group
or any  division  of the  Corporation  that is a member of the group;  provided,
however,  that in no case shall an officer of the group have  authority  to bind
the  Corporation  except as to the normal and usual  business and affairs of the
group  of which  he or she is an  officer;  and  provided  further  that a group
officer  may not execute  contracts  for any  subsidiary  who is a member of the
group unless (i) he or she executes  the same under a duly  authorized  power of
attorney or (ii) he or she is also an officer of such  subsidiary  and  executes
the contract in such capacity.

                                 Indemnification

     39. (a) Each person who was or is made a party or is  threatened to be made
a party to or is involved  in any action,  suit or  proceeding,  whether  civil,
criminal,  administrative  or  investigative  (hereinafter a  "proceeding"),  by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has  agreed to become a  director
or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to

                                       16

<PAGE>

serve at the  request of the  Corporation  as a  director  or officer of another
corporation  or of a  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust or other  enterprise,
including  service with respect to employee benefit plans,  whether the basis of
such  proceeding  is alleged  action in an  official  capacity  as a director or
officer or in any other  capacity  while  serving or having agreed to serve as a
director or officer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to
the fullest extent  authorized by the Delaware  General  Corporation Law, as the
same  exists  or may  hereafter  be  amended,  (but,  in the  case  of any  such
amendment,  only to the extent that such  amendment  permits the  Corporation to
provide broader  indemnification  rights than said law permitted the Corporation
to provide  prior to such  amendment)  against all expense,  liability  and loss
(including  attorneys' fees,  judgments,  fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by
such person in connection therewith and such  indemnification  shall continue as
to a person who has ceased to serve in the  capacity  which  initially  entitled
such person to indemnity  hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her
heirs,  executors and administrators;  provided,  however,  that the Corporation
shall  indemnify any such person seeking  indemnification  in connection  with a
proceeding  (or part thereof)  initiated by such person only if such  proceeding
(or part thereof) was  authorized by the Board of Directors of the  Corporation.
The right to  indemnification  conferred  in this Section 39 shall be a contract
right and shall  include the right to be paid by the  Corporation  the  expenses
incurred in defending any such  proceeding in advance of its final  disposition;
provided,  however,  that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the
payment  of such  expenses  incurred  by a  director  or  officer  in his or her
capacity  as a  director  or  officer  (and not in any other  capacity  in which
service  was or is  rendered  by  such  person  while  a  director  or  officer,
including, without limitation, service

                                       17

<PAGE>

to  an  employee  benefit  plan)  in  advance  of  the  final  disposition  of a
proceeding,  shall  be  made  only  upon  delivery  to  the  Corporation  of  an
undertaking,  by or on behalf of such director or officer,  to repay all amounts
so advanced if it shall  ultimately be determined  that such director or officer
is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise.
          (b) If a claim under  Paragraph  (a) of this Section 39 is not paid in
full by the  Corporation  within  ninety  days  after a  written  claim has been
received by the Corporation,  the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit
against  the  Corporation  to  recover  the unpaid  amount of the claim and,  if
successful in whole or in part,  the claimant  shall be entitled to be paid also
the expense of prosecuting  such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action
(other  than an action  brought  to  enforce a claim for  expenses  incurred  in
defending any proceeding in advance of its final  disposition where the required
undertaking,  if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the
claimant has not met the  standards of conduct which make it  permissible  under
the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law for the  Corporation  to  indemnify  the
claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be
on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board
of Directors,  independent  legal counsel,  or its  stockholders) to have made a
determination  prior to the commencement of such action that  indemnification of
the  claimant  is  proper  in the  circumstances  because  he or she has met the
applicable  standard of conduct set forth in the  Delaware  General  Corporation
Law, nor an actual  determination  by the  Corporation  (including  its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has
not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or
create a presumption  that the claimant has not met the  applicable  standard of
conduct.
                                       18

<PAGE>

          (c) The right to  indemnification  and the  advancement and payment of
expenses  conferred in this Section 39 shall not be exclusive of any other right
which  any  person  may have or  hereafter  acquire  under  any law  (common  or
statutory),  provision of the Certificate of  Incorporation  of the Corporation,
By-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
          (d) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect
itself  and any person  who is or was  serving  as a director  or officer of the
Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director
or officer of another corporation,  partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other
enterprise  against  any  expense,   liability  or  loss,  whether  or  not  the
Corporation  would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
          (e) If this Section 39 or any portion  hereof shall be  invalidated on
any ground by any court of competent  jurisdiction,  then the Corporation  shall
nevertheless  indemnify  and hold  harmless  each  director  or  officer  of the
Corporation  as to costs,  charges and  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit
or proceeding,  whether civil, criminal,  administrative or investigative to the
full extent  permitted by any  applicable  portion of this Section 39 that shall
not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.
