                        PENNZOIL COMPANY
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (UNAUDITED)


(1)  General -

      The  condensed  consolidated financial statements  included
herein  have  been  prepared  by  Pennzoil  Company  ("Pennzoil")
without  audit  and  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in Pennzoil's
latest annual report.  The foregoing financial statements include
only normal recurring accruals and all adjustments which Pennzoil
considers necessary for a fair presentation.


(2)  Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits -

      Effective January 1, 1994, Pennzoil changed its  method  of
accounting  for  postemployment benefit  costs  by  adopting  the
requirements  of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards
("SFAS")  No.112,   "Employers'  Accounting   for  Postemployment
Benefits", and recorded a charge of  $4.9  million  ($7.6 million
before tax), or $.11 per share, as of that  date to  reflect  the
cumulative  effect  of the  change in  accounting  principle  for
periods prior to 1994.


(3) Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets -

     In March  1995  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board
issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be  Disposed of," which  is
intended  to   establish  more  consistent  accounting  standards
for  measuring  the  recoverability  of  long-lived  assets.   In
certain  instances, the statement  specifies  that  the  carrying
values  of  assets  be  written   down  to  fair  values,  which,
for Pennzoil, could  result in write-downs  that  were previously
not   required  under  its  existing  impairment   policy.   Such
charges   would   result   primarily   from   the  more  detailed
impairment   review   procedures   that  would  be  required   on
Pennzoil's proved oil and gas properties. Under the new standard,
assets to be reviewed for impairment are required  to be  grouped
at the lowest level for which there are  identifiable cash  flows
that are largely independent of the cash flows of  other  groups.
Under current policy, oil and gas assets reviewed for  impairment
are grouped at a higher  level.  While the  potential  impact  of
the  new  standard  cannot  be  fully  assessed  at  this   time,
Pennzoil  believes  that  the adoption of  this  statement  could
result  in  a  substantial  charge to operating  earnings  and  a
corresponding  write-down of Pennzoil's fixed  assets,  primarily
those related to oil and gas producing activities.  Pennzoil must
adopt  the  new   statement no later than for its quarter  ending
March 31, 1996.

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


Results of Operations

      Net  income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995  was  $2.7
million, or $.06 per share, compared to $5.8 million, or $.13 per
share,  for the same period in 1994.  Effective January 1,  1994,
Pennzoil  changed  its  method of accounting  for  postemployment
benefit  costs   by   adopting  the  requirements  of   Statement
of Financial   Accounting     Standards   No.  112,   "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment   Benefits."  As a result, Pennzoil
recorded a  charge  of $4.9  million, or $.11  per  share, as  of
January 1, 1994,  to  reflect  the cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle  for periods prior to 1994.  Excluding  this
charge, income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 decreased $8.0
million, or $.18 per share from  the comparable  period  in 1994.
The  decrease in earnings for the first quarter of 1995, compared
to  the  prior year, was primarily attributable to lower  results
from the oil and gas and motor oil and refined products segments.
These  decreases  were partially offset by higher  other  income,
primarily due to a franchise tax refund.

Oil and Gas

     Operating income from this segment was $12.9 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared with $37.6 million for the
same  period  in  1994.   The decrease in  operating  income  was
primarily   due   to   lower  natural  gas  prices   and   higher
depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A")  expense.   The
higher DD&A expense experienced in the first quarter of 1995  was
attributable  to  an increase in natural gas and liquids  volumes
and  higher DD&A rates. The higher DD&A rates resulted, in  part,
from  a  settlement with the Internal Revenue Service in  October
1994, which increased the carrying value of certain oil  and  gas
properties.  Reference is made to Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in Pennzoil's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the  year  ended  December 31, 1994.  Partially offsetting  these
decreases  were  higher liquids and natural gas  volumes,  higher
liquids  prices and lower operating expenses.  The  increases  in
liquids and natural gas volumes for the three months ended  March
31,  1995  were  partially  due to the acquisition  of  Co-enerco
Resources Ltd. in June 1994.  Operating costs per barrel  of  oil
equivalent  produced,  excluding DD&A  and  exploration  expense,
decreased 15% compared to the same period in 1994.
      Natural  gas  volumes produced for sale  during  the  three
months ending March 31, 1995 were 682.3 MMcf per day compared  to
659.5 MMcf per day during the three months ending March 31, 1994.
Liquids production volumes were 73.3 Mbbls per day for the  three
months  ending March 31, 1995 compared to 63.4 Mbbls per day  for
the three months ended March 31, 1994.
      In March 1995, Pennzoil and Brooklyn Union Gas Co. announced
the formation of a new gas marketing venture by their subsidiaries,
Pennzoil Gas Marketing Company and BRING Gas Services Corp.   The
50-50   gas  marketing  venture  is  known  as  PennUnion  Energy
Services,   L.L.C.  ("PennUnion").   Pennzoil  contributed   $3.7
million  to  the  venture  in March  1995  and  has  committed  a
substantial  majority  of  its natural gas  production  from  the
continental U.S. to be marketed by PennUnion.

      In  March 1995 the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board
issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be  Disposed  of,"  which  is
intended to establish more consistent  accounting  standards  for
measuring the recoverability  of  long-lived  assets.  In certain
instances,  the  statement specifies  that  the  carrying  values
of  assets  be  written   down  to   fair  values,   which,   for
Pennzoil,  could  result in  write-downs  that  were   previously
not  required  under  its  existing  impairment   policy.    Such
charges  would  result  primarily  from    the    more   detailed
impairment review procedures that would be required on Pennzoil's
proved oil  and  gas  properties.  Under the new standard, assets
to be reviewed for impairment are required to be grouped  at  the
lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are
largely  independent   of   the  cash  flows   of  other  groups.
Under  current  policy,  oil   and   gas   assets  reviewed   for
impairment  are grouped at a higher level.  While  the  potential
impact of the new standard cannot be fully assessed at this time,
Pennzoil  believes  that  the adoption of  this  statement  could
result  in  a  substantial  charge to operating  earnings  and  a
corresponding  write-down of Pennzoil's fixed  assets,  primarily
those related to oil and gas producing activities.  Pennzoil must
adopt  the  new   statement no later than for its quarter  ending
March 31, 1996.


Motor Oil & Refined Products

     Operating income from this segment was $14.3 million for the
quarter  ended March 31, 1995, a decrease of $11.5  million  from
the  same  period in 1994. The decrease in operating  income  was
primarily attributable to lower refinery, specialty and all other
product margins.  Also contributing to lower earnings were higher
selling expenses and a $4.0 million litigation settlement charge.
These  decreases were partially offset by higher  domestic  motor
oil  volumes and margins and higher international, specialty  and
all other product sales volumes.


Franchise Operations

      The franchise operations segment recorded an operating loss
of  $.2  million  for the quarter ended March 31, 1995,  compared
with  a  loss of $.7 million for the same period in 1994. In  the
first  quarter of 1995, the franchise operations segment recorded
lower  operating expenses and higher royalty income. Results  for
the  first  quarter  of  1995 include a $6.0  million  litigation
settlement  charge.   The 1994 first quarter  results  include  a
charge   for   various  self-insured  claims.   Excluding   these
nonrecurring   charges,   general  and  administrative   expenses
declined in 1995 while company center revenues increased.
     Domestic systemwide sales reported by Jiffy Lube centers for
the   first   quarter  of  1995  increased  $15.0   million,   or
approximately  11%, to $152.5 million, compared  with  the  first
quarter  of 1994.  Average ticket prices increased to $34.30  for
the  quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared with $33.65  for  the
first  quarter of 1994.   Total vehicles serviced increased  6.3%
for  the  first quarter in 1995.  There were 1,137 domestic  lube
centers (including 426 Jiffy Lube company-operated centers)  open
as of March 31, 1995.

     Jiffy Lube currently operates six fast-oil change operations
in  Sears  Auto Centers in Kentucky and New Jersey as part  of  a
test which began in mid-1994.  In March 1995, Jiffy Lube and  the
Sears  Merchandise Group ("Sears") agreed to open as many as  456
fast-oil  change units in Sears Auto Centers over the next  three
years.   The  new   agreement   calls  for  Jiffy  Lube  to  open
as  many  as  234  company-owned units and 222  franchise  units.
Under  the  agreement, Jiffy Lube remodels, equips  and  operates
service areas within the Sears Auto Centers while Sears continues
to  utilize  the remaining bays for its operations.  As  a  first
step,  Sears  and Jiffy Lube have agreed to set up  145  company-
owned  units  and  will continue to review the market   and  work
toward  agreement on the final plans for the remaining 311  units
by later this year.


Sulphur

      In  October  1994, Pennzoil entered into an agreement  with
Freeport-McMoRan    Resource   Partners,   Limited    Partnership
("Freeport-McMoRan") providing for the sale of substantially  all
the  domestic  assets of Pennzoil's sulphur segment to  Freeport-
McMoRan.    The  transaction  was  completed  in  January   1995.
Pennzoil  continues  to  own  and operate  its  Antwerp,  Belgium
sulphur  terminal and the related international sulphur business.
Beginning  in  January 1995, the results of such  operations  are
included in other segment operating income.


Other

      Other operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995
was  $41.1  million,  compared with $16.9 million  for  the  same
period  in  1994.  The increase was due to a favorable resolution
of  a  Texas  franchise  tax issue, which  resulted  in  Pennzoil
receiving  a  $23.2 million refund.  In addition,  Pennzoil  will
receive  approximately $1.5 million in interest  associated  with
the franchise tax refund.
      Net  interest expense for the quarter ended March 31,  1995
increased $6.9 million from  the same  period in 1994,  primarily
due to increased borrowings at higher rates.


Capital Resources and Liquidity

     As of March 31, 1995, Pennzoil had cash and cash equivalents
of  $23.5 million.  During the three months ended March 31, 1995,
Pennzoil's  cash  and  cash equivalents decreased  $1.4  million.
Cash  flows  from  operating activities  totaled  $107.5  million
during the first quarter of 1995.
      Pennzoil's other income includes dividend income   of  $8.4
million in each of the quarters ended  March 31, 1995  and  1994,
respectively, from its  investment in  common  stock  of  Chevron
Corporation.
      In  February 1995, Pennzoil's Board of Directors  increased
the  limit  on  the  aggregate amount of  commercial  paper  that
Pennzoil  may  issue under its domestic commercial paper  program
and/or  its Euro-commercial paper program from $250.0 million  to
$500.0  million.   Borrowings under Pennzoil's  commercial  paper
facilities totaled $428.0 million and $243.9 million at March 31,
1995  and December 31, 1994, respectively.  The cash provided  by
the  increase  in  borrowings under Pennzoil's  commercial  paper
facilities  was  used  primarily to pay  off  $205.0  million  in
borrowings  under an unsecured revolving credit facility  with  a
group of banks.
     In April 1995, Pennzoil received a cash tax refund of $116.9
million  from  the Internal Revenue Service, which  was  used  to
reduce borrowings under its commercial paper facilities.

      Shares  of  any  class of stock of the corporation  may  be

the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.

      The following is a statement of the powers, preferences and
rights,  and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions,  of
the Preferred Stock, Preference Common Stock and Common Stock.

                  Section I.  Preferred Stock

      Shares of Preferred Stock shall be issuable in one or  more
series  with  such voting powers, full or limited, or  no  voting
powers,  and such designations, powers, preferences and relative,
participating,  optional,  redemption, conversion,  exchange  and
other  rights,  and qualifications, limitations  or  restrictions
thereof,  as are stated and expressed herein, and, to the  extent
not  stated and expressed herein, as shall be fixed by the  Board
of  Directors pursuant to the authority to do so, which is hereby
expressly  vested in it, and stated and expressed in a resolution
or  resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors  providing  for
the issuance of the Preferred Stock of such series.

      In  accordance with this Section I of Article  Fourth,  the
Board of Directors has designated shares of Preferred Stock  with
the   voting   powers,   preferences,   rights,   qualifications,
limitations and restrictions as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

              Section II.  Preference Common Stock

      Shares of Preference Common Stock shall be issuable in  one
or  more  series with such designations, powers, preferences  and
relative,   participating,  optional,   redemption,   conversion,
exchange  and  other rights, and qualifications,  limitations  or
restrictions thereof, as are stated and expressed herein, and, to
the extent not stated and expressed herein, as shall be fixed  by
the  Board of Directors pursuant to the authority to do so, which
is  hereby expressly vested in it, and stated and expressed in  a
resolution  or  resolutions adopted by  the  Board  of  Directors
providing for the issuance of the Preference Common Stock of such
series.

      Subject  to  the prior rights of the holders  of  Preferred
Stock  as may be set forth in a resolution or resolutions of  the
Board  of  Directors providing for the issuance of any series  of
Preferred  Stock,  the  holders of Preference  Common  Stock,  in
preference  to the holders of Common Stock, shall be entitled  to
receive  if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors,  out
of  the assets of the corporation which are by law available  for
the payment of dividends, dividends at but not exceeding the rate
set  forth  in  a  resolution  or resolutions  of  the  Board  of
Directors  providing for the issuance of any series of Preference
Common Stock.

      In  the  event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution  or  winding up of the affairs  of  the  corporation,
then,  before  any  distribution may be made to  the  holders  of
Common Stock, the holders of Preference Common Stock (subject  to
the  prior  rights of holders of Preferred Stock as  may  be  set
forth  in  a resolution or resolutions of the Board of  Directors
providing  for  the  issuance of any series of  Preferred  Stock)
shall  be entitled to be paid an amount equal to the accrued  and
unpaid  dividends thereon to the date of payment thereof.   After
payment  or  provision  for  payment  of  the  debts  and   other
liabilities  of  the  corporation  and  any  accrued  and  unpaid
dividends due the holders of Preference Common Stock (subject  to
the  prior  rights of holders of Preferred Stock as  may  be  set
forth  in  a resolution or resolutions of the Board of  Directors
providing for the issuance of any series of Preferred Stock), the
holders  of  Preference Common Stock and Common  Stock  shall  be
entitled  to  share  ratably  in  the  remaining  assets  of  the
corporation.   Neither  the  merger  or  consolidation   of   the
corporation  into or with another corporation nor the  merger  or
consolidation  of  any  other  corporation  into  or   with   the
corporation  shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution  or
winding  up  of  the  corporation  within  the  meaning  of  this
paragraph,  but  the  sale,  lease  or  conveyance  of   all   or
substantially  all  of  the assets of the  corporation  shall  be
deemed  to  be a liquidation, dissolution or winding  up  of  the
corporation within the meaning of this paragraph.

      In  addition to any other voting powers of the  holders  of
Preference  Common Stock as may be provided by law,  (i)  without
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the
total  number of shares of Preference Common Stock  at  the  time
outstanding, the corporation shall not merge or consolidate  with
or into any other corporation or sell or otherwise dispose of all
or  substantially all of its assets (provided, however,  that  no
such vote shall be required in connection with a merger into  the
corporation  of  a  subsidiary at least 90%  of  the  outstanding
shares  of  each  class  of  stock  of  which  is  owned  by  the
corporation), (ii) without the affirmative vote of the holders of
at  least  two-thirds of the total number of shares of Preference
Common  Stock at the time outstanding, the corporation shall  not
voluntarily  liquidate, dissolve or wind up the  affairs  of  the
corporation, (iii) without the affirmative vote of the holders of
at  least  two-thirds of the total number of shares of Preference
Common  Stock at the time outstanding, the corporation shall  not
amend,  alter or repeal any of the rights, preferences or  powers
of  the  holders  of  Preference Common Stock  so  as  to  affect
adversely  any  such  rights, preferences  or  powers  (provided,
however,  that  if such amendment, alteration or  repeal  affects
adversely  the rights, preferences or powers of one or more,  but
not   all,  series  of  Preference  Common  Stock  at  the   time
outstanding, only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds  of  the  total number of outstanding  shares  of  all
series so affected shall be required; and provided, further, that
an  amendment  to increase or decrease the authorized  number  of
shares  of Preference Common Stock or to create or authorize,  or
increase  or  decrease the amount of, any class of stock  ranking
prior to or on a parity with the outstanding shares of Preference
Common  Stock  as  to  dividends shall not be  deemed  to  affect
adversely  the  rights, preferences or powers of the  holders  of
Preference  Common Stock or any series thereof) and (iv)  without
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the
total  number of shares of Preference Common Stock  at  the  time
outstanding,  the corporation shall not create or  authorize  any
shares  of  any  class of stock ranking prior to  the  Preference
Common  Stock  as  to dividends or assets (other  than  Preferred
Stock) or issue any shares of any such prior ranking stock (other
than  Preferred Stock) more than 12 months after the date  as  of
which  the corporation was empowered to create or authorize  such
prior ranking stock.

                   Section III.  Common Stock

      After  the  requirements with respect to  any  preferential
dividends  upon the Preferred Stock and Preference  Common  Stock
have  been met, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled
to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by
the Board of Directors.

      Section IV.  Provisions Applicable to Capital Stock

     1. Voting Rights.  Each share of Common Stock and each share
of  Preference Common Stock shall entitle the holder  thereof  to
one  vote  for each share held and, except as otherwise  provided
herein  or  by  law,  the Common Stock and the Preference  Common
Stock  (and  any  other  stock of the  corporation  at  the  time
entitled  to  vote)  shall vote together as one  class.   At  all
elections of directors, each holder of record of shares of Common
Stock and/or Preference Common Stock shall be entitled to as many
votes  as  shall equal the number of such shares of Common  Stock
and/or  Preference Common Stock so held multiplied by the  number
of  directors to be elected, and such holder may cast all of such
votes  for  a single director, or may distribute them  among  the
number  to be voted for, or for any two or more of them, as  such
holder may see fit.

      2.  Regarding  Pre-emptive Rights.  No stockholder  of  the
corporation shall by reason of his holding shares of any class of
stock  have  any pre-emptive or preferential right  to  subscribe
for,  purchase or otherwise acquire or receive any shares of  any
class  of  stock  issued  by  the  corporation,  whether  now  or
hereafter authorized, or any shares of any class of stock of  the
corporation  now  or  hereafter acquired by  the  corporation  as
treasury  stock  and subsequently reissued or sold  or  otherwise
disposed  of, or any notes, debentures, bonds or other securities
convertible  into  or  carrying options or warrants  to  purchase
shares   of   any  class  of  stock,  whether  now  or  hereafter
authorized,  whether or not the issuance of any such  shares,  or
such   notes,  debentures,  bonds  or  other  securities,   would
adversely   affect  the  dividend  or  voting  rights   of   such
stockholder; and the Board of Directors may issue shares  of  any
class  of  stock  of  the corporation, or any notes,  debentures,
bonds or other securities convertible into or carrying options or
warrants  to  purchase  shares of any  class  of  stock,  without
offering  any  such shares of any class, either in  whole  or  in
part, to the existing stockholders of any class.

      Fifth:  1. All corporate powers shall be exercised  by  the
Board of Directors except as otherwise provided by law or by  the
Certificate of Incorporation.

     In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred
by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized:

          (a) Except as may be otherwise provided in the By-laws,
     to  make,  alter,  amend  and  repeal  the  By-laws  of  the
     corporation, subject always to the power of the stockholders
     to change such action.

           (b) To fix in or pursuant to the By-laws from time  to
     time  the  number of Directors of the corporation,  none  of
     whom need be stockholders.

           (c)  To fix, determine and vary from time to time  the
     amount  to  be maintained as surplus of the corporation  and
     the amount or amounts to be set apart as working capital  of
     the corporation.

          (d) To authorize and cause to be executed mortgages and
     liens   upon   the  real  and  personal  property   of   the
     corporation.

           (e)  To  set  apart out of any of  the  funds  of  the
     corporation  available for dividends a reserve  or  reserves
     for  any  proper purposes and/or to abolish any such reserve
     in the manner in which it was created.

           (f)  To designate, by resolution or resolutions passed
     by  a  majority of the whole Board, one or more  committees,
     each committee to consist of two or more of the Directors of
     the  corporation,  which,  to the extent  provided  in  said
     resolution  or  resolutions  or  in  the  By-laws   of   the
     corporation,  shall have and may exercise the power  of  the
     Board  of  Directors in the management of the  business  and
     affairs  of the corporation, and may authorize the  seal  of
     the  corporation  to  be affixed to  all  papers  which  may
     require  it.  Such committee or committees shall  have  such
     name  or  names  as  may be stated in  the  By-laws  of  the
     corporation  or as may be determined from time  to  time  by
     resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors.

      2. The number of Directors which shall constitute the whole
Board  of Directors of the corporation shall be not less  than  3
nor more than 18 as specified from time to time in the By-laws of
the  corporation, except in the case of an increase in the number
of directors by reason of any default provisions adopted pursuant
to  Article Fourth.  The Board of Directors shall be divided into
three  classes,  Class I, Class II and Class III.   Such  classes
shall  be  as  nearly equal in number of directors  as  possible.
Each  Director shall serve for a term ending on the third  annual
meeting  following the annual meeting at which such Director  was
elected.   The  foregoing notwithstanding,  each  Director  shall
serve  until  his  successor shall have  been  duly  elected  and
qualified, unless he shall resign, become disqualified,  disabled
or shall otherwise be removed.

      At  each  annual election, the Directors chosen to  succeed
those  whose terms then expire shall be of the same class as  the
Directors  they  succeed, unless, by reason  of  any  intervening
changes  in  the authorized number of Directors, the Board  shall
designate  one or more directorships whose term then  expires  as
directorships  of another class in order more nearly  to  achieve
equality of number of Directors among the classes.

      Notwithstanding the provision that the three classes  shall
be  as  nearly equal in number of Directors as possible,  in  the
event  of any change in the authorized number of Directors,  each
Director  then  continuing to serve as  such  shall  nevertheless
continue as a Director of the class of which he is a member until
the   expiration  of  his  current  term,  or  his  prior  death,
resignation  or removal.  If any newly created directorship  may,
consistent with the provision that the three classes shall be  as
nearly equal in number of Directors as possible, be allocated  to
one  or two or more classes, the Board shall allocate it to  that
of  the available classes whose terms of office are due to expire
at the earliest date following such allocation.

      3. No Director of the corporation shall be removed from his
office  as a Director by vote or other action of stockholders  or
otherwise except for cause.

      4.  Except  as  provided in or pursuant to  Article  Fourth
hereof,  newly created directorships resulting from any  increase
in  the  number of Directors and any vacancies on  the  Board  of
Directors  resulting  from death, resignation,  disqualification,
removal or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of
a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, even though
less  than  a  quorum  of the Board of Directors.   Any  Director
elected  in  accordance with the preceding  sentence  shall  hold
office  for  the  remainder of the full  term  of  the  class  of
Directors  in  which  the new directorship  was  created  or  the
vacancy  occurred and until such Director's successor shall  have
been  elected  and  qualified.  No  decrease  in  the  number  of
Directors  constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten  the
term of any incumbent Director.

      5. No contract or other transaction between the corporation
and any other corporation shall be affected or invalidated by the
fact  that  one  or more of the Directors of the corporation  are
interested  in,  or  is  a director or directors  or  officer  or
officers  of  such  other corporation, and no contract  or  other
transaction between the corporation and any other person or  firm
shall be affected or invalidated by the fact that one or more  of
the  Directors of the corporation is a party to, or  are  parties
to, or interested in, such contract or transaction; provided that
in  each such case the nature and extent of the interest of  such
Director  or  Directors  in such contract  or  other  transaction
and/or  the  fact that such Director or Directors  is  or  are  a
director  or  directors  or officer or  officers  of  such  other
corporation is known to the Board of Directors or is disclosed at
the  meeting of the Board of Directors at which such contract  or
other transaction is authorized.

     Sixth: 1. Except as set forth in Paragraph 4 of this Article
Sixth,  the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of 80%  of
all  stock  of this corporation entitled to vote in elections  of
directors (excluding stock entitled so to be exercised only  upon
the  happening of some contingency unless such contingency  shall
have occurred and is continuing), considered for the purposes  of
this  Article Sixth as one class and hereinafter in this  Article
Sixth embraced in the term "voting stock", shall be required:

           (i)  for  a merger or consolidation of the corporation
     with or into any other corporation, or

           (ii)  for  any sale or lease of all or any substantial
     part   of  the  assets  of  the  corporation  to  any  other
     corporation, person or other entity, or

           (iii)  any  sale  or lease to the corporation  or  any
     subsidiary  thereof of any assets (except assets  having  an
     aggregate  fair  market value of less  than  $5,000,000)  in
     exchange for voting stock (or securities convertible into or
     exchangeable for voting stock or options, warrants or rights
     to  purchase  voting  stock or securities  convertible  into
     voting  stock) of the corporation or any subsidiary  of  the
     corporation by any other corporation, person or entity,

if  as  of  the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled  to  notice  thereof  and to  vote  thereon  or  consent
thereto,  or  as  of the time the Board of Directors  shall  have
approved a memorandum of understanding, or the corporation  shall
have  entered  into  any  agreement, with  respect  to  any  such
transaction  for which the vote or consent of the holders  of  no
class or series of stock of the corporation is otherwise required
by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or any other contract or
agreement,  such  other corporation, person or  entity  which  is
party to such a transaction is the beneficial owner, directly  or
indirectly, of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of any  class
or  series of voting stock of the corporation.  There shall  also
be  required  for any such transaction for which such affirmative
vote  or  consent  shall  be required by  this  Paragraph  1  the
affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority  of  all
voting  stock of this corporation, exclusive of all voting  stock
of  this  corporation of which such other corporation, person  or
entity  which  is  party  to  such transaction  is,  directly  or
indirectly, the beneficial owner.  Each such affirmative vote  or
consent  shall  be  in addition to the vote  or  consent  of  the
holders  of  any  class  or series of stock  of  the  corporation
otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation  or
the  resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such
class or series which have been adopted by the Board of Directors
or  any  agreement  between  the  corporation  and  any  national
securities exchange.

      2.  For  purposes  of this Article Sixth  any  corporation,
person or other entity shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner
of any shares of stock of the corporation:

           (i)  which it owns directly, whether or not of record,
     or

           (ii) which it has the right to acquire pursuant to any
     agreement  or  understanding or upon exercise of  conversion
     rights,  exchange rights, warrants or options or  otherwise,
     or

            (iii)  which  are  beneficially  owned,  directly  or
     indirectly  (including shares deemed  to  be  owned  through
     application  of  clause (ii) above), by any  "affiliate"  or
     "associate" as those terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 of  the
     General  Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange
     Act of 1934 as in effect on March 1, 1975, or

            (iv)  which  are  beneficially  owned,  directly   or
     indirectly   (including   shares   deemed   owned    through
     application of clause (ii) above), by any other corporation,
     person  or  entity  with  which it  or  its  "affiliate"  or
     "associate"   has   any   agreement   or   arrangement    or
     understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding,  voting
     or disposing of stock of the corporation.

          For the purposes of this Article Sixth, the outstanding
     shares  of  any class or series of stock of the  corporation
     shall include shares deemed owned through the application of
     clauses (2)(ii), (iii) and (iv) above, but shall not include
     any  other  shares  which may be issuable  pursuant  to  any
     agreement  or upon exercise of conversion rights,  warrants,
     options  or  otherwise.  As used in this Article Sixth,  the
     term "subsidiary" shall mean a corporation a majority of the
     voting  power  of the capital stock (that is,  voting  power
     entitled  to be exercised in the election of directors,  but
     excluding voting power entitled so to be exercised only upon
     the  happening  of some contingency unless such  contingency
     shall  have  occurred and is continuing) of which  shall  be
     owned  by the corporation or by one or more subsidiaries  or
     by the corporation and one or more subsidiaries.

      3. The Board of Directors shall have the power and duty  to
determine for the purposes of this Article Sixth on the basis  of
information known to this corporation whether

           (i)  such  other corporation, person or  other  entity
     beneficially  owns 5% or more of the outstanding  shares  of
     any class or series of voting stock of the corporation,

           (ii) a corporation, person or entity is an "affiliate"
     or "associate" (as defined in Paragraph 2 above) of another,

           (iii) the assets being acquired by the corporation, or
     any  subsidiary thereof, have an aggregate fair market value
     of less than $5,000,000, and

           (iv)  the memorandum of understanding referred  to  in
     Paragraph  4  below  is substantially  consistent  with  the
     transaction covered thereby.

      Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding  for
all purposes of this Article Sixth.

     4. The provisions of Paragraph 1 of this Article Sixth shall
not apply to:

           (i)  any  merger or consolidation of this  corporation
     with   any  corporation,  or  any  sale  or  lease  to  this
     corporation or any subsidiary thereof of any assets  of,  or
     any  sale  or  lease by this corporation or  any  subsidiary
     thereof of any of its assets to, any corporation, person  or
     entity,  if  the Board of Directors of this corporation  has
     approved  a  memorandum  of understanding  with  such  other
     corporation,   person  or  entity  with  respect   to   such
     transaction  prior to the time that such other  corporation,
     person or entity shall have become a beneficial owner of  5%
     or  more of the outstanding shares of any class or series of
     voting stock of the corporation; or

           (ii)  any  merger or consolidation of this corporation
     with,  or  any  sale  or lease to this  corporation  or  any
     subsidiary thereof of any assets of, or any sale or lease by
     this  corporation or any subsidiary thereof of  any  of  its
     assets  to,  any corporation 40% or more of the  outstanding
     voting  stock  of which is beneficially owned,  directly  or
     indirectly, by this corporation.

      5.  The  corporation shall have the right, subject  to  any
express  provisions or restrictions contained in the  Certificate
of  Incorporation or the By-laws, from time to time to amend  the
Certificate  of  Incorporation or any provision  thereof  in  any
manner  now  or  hereafter provided by law, and  all  rights  and
powers  at  any time conferred upon the Directors or stockholders
of  the  corporation by the Certificate of Incorporation  or  any
amendment thereof are subject to such right of the corporation.

      6.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate
of  Incorporation or the By-laws (and in addition  to  any  other
vote   that   may  be  required  by  law,  this  Certificate   of
Incorporation or the By-laws), there shall be required to  amend,
alter,  change  or repeal, directly or indirectly,  this  Article
Sixth  the affirmative vote or consent of (i) the holders of  80%
of  all  voting  stock  of the corporation (considered  for  this
purpose as one class) and (ii) the holders of a majority  of  all
voting  stock of the corporation (considered for this purpose  as
one  class),  exclusive of all voting stock  of  the  corporation
beneficially  owned, directly or indirectly, by any  corporation,
person  or  entity  which  is, as of  the  record  date  for  the
determination  of  stockholders  entitled  to  notice   of   such
amendment,  alteration, change or repeal and to vote  thereon  or
consent  thereto,  the beneficial owner of  5%  or  more  of  the
outstanding shares of any class or series of voting stock of  the
corporation.

      Seventh:  No  action required to be taken or which  may  be
taken  at  any annual or special meeting of stockholders  of  the
corporation  may  be taken without a meeting, and  the  power  of
stockholders to consent in writing to the taking of any action is
specifically denied.

      Eighth:  No director of the corporation shall be personally
liable to the corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director involving  any
act  or  omission  of  any such director occurring  on  or  after
April  30,  1987; provided, however, that the foregoing provision
shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a)  for
any  breach of such director's duty of loyalty to the corporation
or  its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith
or  which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation  of
law,  (c)  under Title 8, Section 174 of the General  Corporation
Law  of  the  State  of Delaware or (d) for any transaction  from
which  such  director derived an improper personal benefit.   Any
repeal   or   modification  of  this  Article   Eighth   by   the
stockholders  of the corporation shall be prospective  only,  and
shall  not  adversely  affect  any  limitation  on  the  personal
liability of a director of the corporation existing at  the  time
of such repeal or modification.

                ________________________________

           (5)  This Certificate shall become effective upon  the
     filing hereof in the office of the Secretary of State of the
     State of Delaware.

                    CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

                                of

           SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK

                                of

                         PENNZOIL COMPANY

      Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law
                     of the State of Delaware

      PENNZOIL COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under
the  General  Corporation  Law  of  the  State  of  Delaware,   in
accordance  with  the  provisions of Section  103  thereof,   DOES
HEREBY CERTIFY:

       That  pursuant  to the authority vested  in  the  Board  of
Directors  in  accordance  with the provisions  of  the   Restated
Certificate  of Incorporation of the said Corporation,  the   said
Board   of  Directors  on October 28, 1994 adopted  the  following
resolution creating a series of 750,000 shares of Preferred  Stock
designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock":

            RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the
Board   of  Directors of this Corporation in accordance  with  the
provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a  series
of   Preferred  Stock,  par  value  $1.00  per  share,   of    the
Corporation    be   and  hereby  is  created,   and    that    the
designation and number of shares thereof and the voting  and other
powers,   preferences  and  relative,  participating, optional  or
other rights of the shares of such  series and the qualifications,
limitations and restrictions thereof are  as follows:

           Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock

       1.  Designation  and Amount. There shall  be  a  series  of
Preferred  Stock  that shall be designated as  "Series  A   Junior
Participating   Preferred  Stock,"  and  the   number   of  shares
constituting such series shall be 750,000.  Such number of  shares
may   be  increased or decreased by resolution  of  the  Board  of
Directors;  provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce   the
number of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred  Stock
to   less  than  the number of shares then issued and  outstanding
plus  the   number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding
rights,  options or warrants or upon conversion   of   outstanding
securities issued by the Corporation.

     2.  Dividends and Distributions.

       (A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders
of   any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and
superior  to the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock   with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series
A   Junior  Participating Preferred Stock, in  preference  to  the
holders  of   shares of  any class or  series of  stock   of   the
Corporation   ranking junior to the Series A Junior  Participating
Preferred  Stock, shall be entitled to receive, when,  as  and  if
declared  by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available
for   the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the 15th
day   of  March, June, September and December in each  year  (each
such   date  being  referred to herein as a  "Quarterly   Dividend
Payment   Date"), commencing  on  the  first  Quarterly   Dividend
Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of  a
share   of  Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in   an
amount   per  share  (rounded to the nearest cent)  equal  to  the
greater   of  (a) $2.00 or (b) the Adjustment Number  (as  defined
below)   times  the  aggregate  per  share  amount  of   all  cash
dividends,  and  the Adjustment Number times the   aggregate   per
share  amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other
distributions  other than a dividend payable in shares  of  Common
Stock   or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(by  reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock,
par   value   $0.83-1/3   per  share, of  the  Corporation   (the
"Common  Stock")   since  the  immediately   preceding   Quarterly
Dividend  Payment  Date, or, with respect to the  first  Quarterly
Dividend  Payment  Date, since the first issuance of any share  or
fraction  of  a  share of Series A Junior Participating  Preferred
Stock.  The "Adjustment  Number"  shall initially be 100.  In  the
event   the Corporation shall at any time after October  28,  1994
(the  "Rights Declaration  Date")  (i)  declare any  dividend   on
Common   Stock  payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii)  subdivide
the  outstanding  Common  Stock or (iii) combine  the  outstanding
Common  Stock into a smaller  number of shares, then in each  such
case  the   Adjustment Number  in  effect  immediately  prior   to
such   event   shall  be adjusted by multiplying  such  Adjustment
Number  by a fraction  the numerator  of  which  is the number  of
shares of  Common  Stock outstanding  immediately after such event
and  the  denominator  of which  is  the  number   of   shares  of
Common   Stock  that  were outstanding immediately prior  to  such
event.

      (B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution
on   the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided
in   paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares a  dividend
or   distribution  on  the  Common Stock (other  than  a  dividend
payable  in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the   event
no   dividend  or  distribution shall have been  declared on   the
Common   Stock   during the period between any Quarterly  Dividend
Payment   Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend  Payment
Date,  a  dividend of  $2.00 per share on the  Series   A   Junior
Participating  Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be  payable   on
such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

       (C)  Dividends shall begin to accrue and be  cumulative  on
outstanding  shares  of  Series A Junior Participating   Preferred
Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding  the
date   of  issue  of such shares of Series A Junior  Participating
Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is  prior
to  the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date,
in  which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from
the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue   is
a  Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the   record
date  for  the  determination of holders of shares  of  Series   A
Junior   Participating  Preferred  Stock  entitled to  receive   a
quarterly  dividend  and before such Quarterly  Dividend   Payment
Date,  in  either of which events such dividends shall  begin   to
accrue   and  be  cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend  Payment
Date.    Accrued  but  unpaid dividends shall not  bear  interest.
Dividends   paid  on  the shares of Series A Junior  Participating
Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount  of   such
dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall  be
allocated  pro  rata  on a share-by-share basis  among  all   such
shares at the time outstanding.  The Board of Directors may fix  a
record   date for the determination of holders of shares of Series
A   Junior  Participating  Preferred  Stock  entitled  to  receive
payment  of  a  dividend or distribution declared thereon,   which
record date shall be no more than 30 days prior to the date  fixed
for the payment thereof.

       3.  Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Junior
Participating  Preferred Stock shall have  the  following  voting
rights:

       (A)  Each  share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock  shall entitle the holder thereof to a number of votes equal
to   the  Adjustment Number on all matters submitted to a vote  of
the  stockholders  of  the  Corporation.   At  all  elections   of
directors   at  which the Series A Junior Participating  Preferred
Stock   shall vote together with the Common Stock (and  any  other
capital   stock of the Corporation at the time entitled  thereto),
each   share  of  Series  A Participating  Preferred  Stock  shall
entitle  the holder thereof to as many votes as shall  equal   the
Adjustment  Number multiplied by the number of  directors  to   be
elected, and such holder may cast all of such votes for a   single
director,  or may distribute them among the number  to  be   voted
for, or for any two or more of them, as such holder may see fit.

       (B)  Except  as otherwise provided herein, in the  Restated
Certificate of Incorporation or by law, the holders of shares   of
Series  A  Junior Participating Preferred Stock, the  holders   of
shares  of Preference Common Stock, par value $0.83-1/3 per share,
of  the   Corporation ("Preference Common Stock") and the  holders
of  shares  of Common Stock shall vote together as one  class   on
all   matters  submitted  to  a  vote  of  stockholders   of   the
Corporation.

       (C)(i)  If  at  any time dividends on any Series  A  Junior
Participating Preferred Stock shall be in arrears  in  an   amount
equal to six quarterly dividends thereon, the occurrence of   such
contingency shall mark the beginning of a period (herein called  a
"default  period")  that shall extend until such  time  when   all
accrued   and unpaid dividends for all previous quarterly dividend
periods   and  for the current quarterly dividend period  on   all
shares  of  Series  A Junior Participating Preferred  Stock   then
outstanding  shall have been declared and paid or set  apart   for
payment.   During each default period, (1) the number of Directors
shall   be  increased by two, effective as of the time of election
of   such  Directors as herein provided, and (2)  the  holders  of
Preferred  Stock  (including  holders  of  the  Series  A   Junior
Participating  Preferred Stock) upon which these or  like   voting
rights   have  been  conferred and are  exercisable  (the  "Voting
Preferred Stock") with dividends in arrears in an amount equal  to
six   quarterly dividends thereon, voting as a class, irrespective
of series, shall have the right to elect such two Directors.

       (ii)  During any default period, such voting right  of  the
holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock   may  be
exercised   initially  at  a special meeting called  pursuant   to
subparagraph  (iii) of this Section 3(C) or at any annual  meeting
of   stockholders,   and   thereafter  at   annual   meetings   of
stockholders,  provided  that such  voting  right  shall  not   be
exercised   unless the holders of at least one-third in number  of
the  shares of Voting Preferred Stock outstanding shall be present
in  person or by proxy.  The absence of a quorum of the holders of
Common  Stock  shall not affect the exercise by  the  holders   of
Voting Preferred Stock of such voting right.

       (iii)  Unless the holders of Voting Preferred Stock  shall,
during   an  existing  default period, have  previously  exercised
their  right to elect Directors, the Board of Directors may order,
or   any  stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate  not
less   than  ten percent of the total number of shares  of  Voting
Preferred Stock outstanding, irrespective of series, may  request,
the   calling  of  a  special meeting of  the  holders  of  Voting
Preferred Stock, which meeting shall thereupon be called  by   the
Chairman  of  the Board, the President, a Vice President  or   the
Secretary of the Corporation.  Notice of such meeting and of   any
annual  meeting  at which holders of Voting Preferred  Stock   are
entitled  to  vote pursuant to this paragraph (C)(iii)  shall   be
given  to  each  holder of record of Voting  Preferred  Stock   by
mailing a copy of such notice to him at his last address  as   the
same  appears on the books of the Corporation.  Such meeting shall
be   called for a time not earlier than 20 days and not later than
60  days after such order or request or, in default of the calling
of   such meeting within 60 days after such order or request, such
meeting  may  be  called on similar notice by any stockholder   or
stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent  of
the  total number of shares of Voting Preferred Stock outstanding.
Notwithstanding  the  provisions of this paragraph  (C)(iii),   no
such special meeting shall be called during the period within   60
days   immediately preceding the date fixed for  the  next  annual
meeting of the stockholders.

       (iv)  In any default period and after the holders of Voting
Preferred  Stock  shall  have  exercised  their  right  to   elect
Directors voting as a class, (x) the Directors so elected by   the
holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall continue in office   until
their  successors shall have been elected by such holders or until
the   expiration of the default period, and (y) any vacancy in the
Board  of  Directors may be filled by vote of a majority  of   the
remaining  Directors theretofore elected by the  holders  of   the
class  or classes of stock which elected the Director whose office
shall  have become vacant.  References in this paragraph  (C)   to
Directors elected by the holders of a particular class or  classes
of   stock  shall include Directors elected by such  Directors  to
fill   vacancies  as  provided  in clause  (y)  of  the  foregoing
sentence.

       (v)  Immediately upon the expiration of a  default  period,
(x)  the right of the holders of Voting Preferred Stock as a class
to   elect  Directors shall cease, (y) the term of  any  Directors
elected by the holders of Voting Preferred Stock as a class  shall
terminate and (z) the number of Directors shall be such number  as
may   be provided for in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation
or   By-Laws  irrespective of any increase made  pursuant  to  the
provisions of paragraph (C) of this Section 3 (such number   being
subject, however, to change thereafter in any manner provided   by
law   or in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws).
Any    vacancies  in  the  Board  of  Directors  effected  by  the
provisions  of clauses (y) and (z) in the preceding sentence   may
be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors.

       (D)  Except as set forth herein, holders of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock shall have no special voting  rights
and   their  consent shall not be required (except to  the  extent
they  are  entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock  as   set
forth herein) for taking any corporate action.

     4. Certain Restrictions.

       (A)  Whenever  quarterly dividends or  other  dividends  or
distributions   payable  on  the  Series  A  Junior  Participating
Preferred  Stock  as  provided  in  Section  2  are  in   arrears,
thereafter  and  until  all  accrued  and  unpaid  dividends   and
distributions,  whether or not declared, on shares  of  Series   A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock outstanding shall have   been
paid in full, the Corporation shall not

         (i)    declare  or   pay  dividends on,  make  any  other
distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire   for
consideration  any shares of stock ranking junior (either  as   to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to   the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock;

       (ii)  declare  or  pay  dividends  on  or  make  any  other
distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity   (either
as   to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding  up)
with   the  Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock,  except
dividends   paid  ratably  on the Series  A  Junior  Participating
Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends   are
payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to  which
the holders of all such shares are then entitled; or

        (iii)   redeem  or  purchase  or  otherwise  acquire   for
consideration    any  shares  of  Series  A  Junior  Participating
Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity   with
the  Series  A  Junior Participating Preferred Stock,  except   in
accordance   with   a   purchase  offer  made  in  writing  or  by
publication  (as  determined by the Board of  Directors)  to   all
holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock,  or   to
such   holders and holders of any such shares ranking on a  parity
therewith,  upon  such  terms as the Board  of  Directors,   after
consideration of the respective annual dividend rates  and   other
relative  rights  and  preferences of the respective  series   and
classes,  shall determine in good faith will result in  fair   and
equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

       (B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of  the
Corporation   to  purchase or otherwise acquire for  consideration
any   shares   of  stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation
could,  under paragraph  (A)  of this  Section  4,   purchase   or
otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

       5.  Reacquired  Shares.  Any  shares  of  Series  A  Junior
Participating Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired   by
the   Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall  be  retired  and
cancelled  promptly  after  the acquisition  thereof.   All   such
shares  shall  upon  their  cancellation  become  authorized   but
unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part  of
a   new  series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution  or
resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to any   conditions
and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

       6.  Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.  (A)  Upon  any
liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or  winding   up
of   the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders
of  shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation,  dissolution or winding up) to the Series  A   Junior
Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the   holders
of   shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall
have received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued  and
unpaid  dividends  and  distributions  thereon,  whether  or   not
declared,   to the date of such payment (the "Series A Liquidation
Preference").   Following the payment of the full amount  of   the
Series   A   Liquidation  Preference, no additional  distributions
shall   be  made  to  the holders of shares  of  Series  A  Junior
Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the   holders
of  shares of Common Stock and Preference Common Stock shall  have
received  an amount per share (the "Common Adjustment") equal   to
the   quotient  obtained by dividing (i) the Series A  Liquidation
Preference by (ii) the Adjustment Number.  Following the   payment
of  the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the
Common  Adjustment  in  respect  of  all  outstanding  shares   of
(1)   Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and (2) Common
Stock   and Preference Common Stock, respectively, (a) holders  of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and (b) holders   of
shares  of Common Stock and Preference Common Stock shall, subject
to   the  prior rights of all other series of Preferred Stock,  if
any,   ranking   prior  thereto,  receive  their   ratable     and
proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed   in
the   ratio of the Adjustment Number to 1 with respect to (x)  the
Series   A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and (y) the Common
Stock   and   Preference  Common  Stock, on  a  per  share  basis,
respectively.

       (B)  In  the event, however, that there are not  sufficient
assets  available  to  permit payment in full  of  the  Series   A
Liquidation  Preference and the liquidation  preferences  of   all
other   series of Preferred Stock, if any, that rank on  a  parity
with  the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, then such
remaining  assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders   of
such   parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation
preferences.    In   the   event,  however,  that  there  are  not
sufficient assets available to permit payment  in  full   of   the
Common     Adjustment,  then  such  remaining  assets   shall   be
distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock and Preference
Common Stock.

       (C)  Neither the merger or consolidation of the Corporation
into   or with another corporation nor the merger or consolidation
of   any  other corporation into or with the Corporation shall  be
deemed  to  be a liquidation, dissolution or winding  up  of   the
Corporation within the meaning of this Section 6, but  the   sale,
lease  or conveyance of all or substantially all the Corporation's
assets  shall  be  deemed  to  be a liquidation,  dissolution   or
winding  up  of  the  Corporation  within  the  meaning  of   this
Section 6.

       7.   Consolidation,  Merger, etc.  In case the  Corporation
shall  enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or  other
transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged  for
or   changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other
property,  then in any such case each share of Series   A   Junior
Participating Preferred Stock shall at the same time be  similarly
exchanged  or changed  in  an amount  per  share  equal   to   the
Adjustment    Number   times   the   aggregate  amount  of  stock,
securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in  kind),  as
the  case  may be, into which or for which each share  of   Common
Stock is changed or exchanged.

       8.  Redemption.   (A) The Corporation, at its  option,  may
redeem   shares  of  the  Series A Junior Participating  Preferred
Stock  in whole at any time and in part from time to time,  at   a
redemption price equal to the Adjustment Number times the  current
per  share market price (as such term is hereinafter defined)   of
the  Common  Stock on the date of the mailing of  the  notice   of
redemption,  together with unpaid accumulated  dividends  to   the
date of such redemption.  The "current per share market price"  on
any   date shall be deemed to be the average of the closing  price
per   share  of such Common Stock for the ten consecutive  Trading
Days  (as such term is hereinafter defined) immediately prior   to
such  date;  provided, however, that in the event that the current
per share market price of the Common Stock is determined during  a
period   following  the  announcement  of  (i)  a   dividend    or
distribution  on the Common Stock other than a regular   quarterly
cash   dividend   or   (ii)  any  subdivision,   combination    or
reclassification  of such Common Stock and the  ex-dividend   date
for   such  dividend or distribution, or the record date for  such
subdivision,  combination  or reclassification,  shall  not   have
occurred  prior  to  the commencement of  such  ten  Trading   Day
period, then, and in each such case, the current per share  market
price  shall be properly adjusted to take into account ex-dividend
trading.  The closing price for each day shall be the last   sales
price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on   such
day,   the  average of the closing bid and asked  prices,  regular
way,   in  either  case  as reported in the principal  transaction
reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted  to
trading  on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if the Common   Stock
is   not  listed  or  admitted to trading on the  New  York  Stock
Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on   which
the   Common  Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or,  if  the
Common  Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities  exchange but sales price information is reported   for
such  security,  as  reported  by  the  National  Association   of
Securities   Dealers, Inc.  Automated Quotations System ("NASDAQ")
or    such   other  self-regulatory  organization  or   registered
securities  information processor (as such terms are  used   under
the   Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended)  that  then
reports  information concerning the Common Stock,  or,  if   sales
price information is not so reported, the average of the high  bid
and   low asked prices in the over-the-counter market on such day,
as  reported by NASDAQ or such other entity, or, if on  any   such
date  the  Common  Stock is not quoted by any  such  entity,   the
average  of  the closing bid and asked prices as furnished  by   a
professional  market maker making a market in  the  Common   Stock
selected by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.  If on  any
such   date no such market maker is making a market in the  Common
Stock,  the  fair  value  of the Common Stock  on  such  date   as
determined  in  good  faith  by the Board  of  Directors  of   the
Corporation shall be used.  The term "Trading Day" shall  mean   a
day   on which the principal national securities exchange on which
the  Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading is open for the
transaction of business, or, if the Common Stock is not listed  or
admitted  to trading on any national securities exchange  but   is
quoted   by NASDAQ, a day on which NASDAQ reports trades,  or,  if
the   Common Stock is not so quoted, a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday or Friday on which banking institutions in the State   of
New   York  are  not authorized or obligated by law  or  executive
order to close.

       (B) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding shares
of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock  are  to   be
redeemed,  the number of shares to be redeemed shall be determined
by   the Board of Directors and the shares to be redeemed shall be
determined by lot or pro rata as may be determined by  the   Board
of  Directors or by any other method that may be determined by the
Board of Directors in its sole discretion to be equitable.

       (C) Notice of any such redemption shall be given by mailing
to   the  holders  of the shares of Series A Junior  Participating
Preferred Stock to be redeemed a notice of such redemption,  first
class  postage prepaid, not later than the fifteenth day and   not
earlier  than  the  sixtieth  day  before  the  date  fixed    for
redemption,  at their last address as the same shall appear   upon
the   books  of  the Corporation.  Each such notice  shall  state:
(i)  the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares to be redeemed
and,  if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to   be
redeemed,  the  number of such shares to be  redeemed  from   such
holder;  (iii)  the redemption price; (iv) the  place  or   places
where  certificates  for such shares are to  be  surrendered   for
payment  of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends  on   the
shares  to  be  redeemed will cease to accrue  on  the  close   of
business  on such redemption date.  Any notice that is mailed   in
the  manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have
been   duly  given, whether or not the stockholder  received  such
notice,  and  failure duly to give such notice by  mail,  or   any
defect   in  such  notice,  to  any  holder  of  Series  A  Junior
Participating  Preferred Stock shall not affect the  validity   of
the  proceedings  for  the redemption  of  any  other  shares   of
Series  A  Junior Participating Preferred Stock that  are  to   be
redeemed.  On or after the date fixed for redemption as stated  in
such   notice,  each  holder of the shares called  for  redemption
shall  surrender the certificate evidencing such  shares  to   the
Corporation  at  the place designated in such  notice  and   shall
thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the redemption  price.
If   fewer than all the shares represented by any such surrendered
certificate  are  redeemed, a new certificate  shall   be   issued
representing the unredeemed shares.

       (D)  The  shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock   shall  not  be subject to the operation of  any  purchase,
retirement or sinking fund.

       9.  Ranking.   The Series A Junior Participating  Preferred
Stock   shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation's
Preferred  Stock  as  to  the   payment  of   dividends  and   the
distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series  shall
provide otherwise, and shall rank senior to the Common Stock   and
Preference Common Stock as to such matters.

       10.  Amendment.  At any time that any shares  of  Series  A
Junior   Participating  Preferred  Stock  are  outstanding,    the
Restated  Certificate of Incorporation of the  Corporation   shall
not  be  amended  in any manner which would materially  alter   or
change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series   A
Junior  Participating  Preferred  Stock  so  as  to  affect   them
adversely  without  the affirmative vote  of  the  holders  of   a
majority  or  more of the outstanding shares of Series  A   Junior
Participating Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class.

       11.  Fractional  Shares.   Series  A  Junior  Participating
Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share that   shall
entitle   the  holder,  in proportion to such holder's  fractional
shares,  to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate
in   distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights  of
holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.
