All documents subsequently filed by Tenneco Inc. or the Plan pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered hereunder have been sold or which deregisters all securities
then remaining unsold, shall be deemed incorporated in this registration
statement by reference and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of
such documents.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The By-Laws of Tenneco Inc. include the following provision:
"Section 14. Each person who is or was a director or officer of the
Company, or who serves or may have served at the request of the Company as
a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise (including the heirs, executors, administrators
or estate of such person) and who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or
proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative,
including appeals, shall be indemnified by the Company as a matter of right
to the full extent permitted or authorized by the General Corporation Law
of Delaware, as it may from time to time be amended, against any expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in his capacity as a
director or officer, or arising out of his status as a director or officer.
Each person who is or was an employee or agent of the Company, or who
serves or may have served at the request of the Company as an employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise (including the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of
such person) may, at the discretion of the Board, be indemnified by the
Company to the same extent as provided herein with respect to directors and
officers of the Company.
"The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, maintain insurance at
its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was
II-1
<PAGE>
serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising
out of his status as such. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to,
pay expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or
proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding.
"The indemnification provided by this Section 14 shall not be exclusive
of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled
as a matter of law or under any agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise."
Insofar as the foregoing provision permits indemnification (other than the
payment by Tenneco Inc. of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer
in the successful defense of any action) for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, Tenneco Inc. has been advised by the Securities and
Exchange Commission that, in the opinion of the Commission, it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and therefore unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for such indemnification is asserted by an officer or a director,
pursuant to the foregoing provision or Delaware law, Tenneco Inc. will (unless
the question has already been determined by a precedent deemed to be
controlling) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
or not indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Tenneco Inc. has purchased insurance which purports to insure Tenneco Inc.
against certain costs of indemnification which may be incurred by it pursuant
to the foregoing provision, and to insure the officers and directors of Tenneco
Inc., and of its subsidiary companies, against certain liabilities incurred by
them in the discharge of their function as such officers and directors except
for liabilities resulting from their own malfeasance.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
A. SUBSEQUENT DISCLOSURE.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of
the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in this registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or
any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and
(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
II-3
<PAGE>
B. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. TO TRANSMIT CERTAIN MATERIAL.
(1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
delivered with the prospectus to each employee to whom the prospectus is sent
or given a copy of the registrant's annual report to stockholders for its last
fiscal year, unless such employee otherwise has received a copy of such report
in which case the registrant shall state in the prospectus that it will
promptly furnish, without charge, a copy of such report on written request of
the employee. If the last fiscal year of the registrant has ended within 120
days prior to the use of the prospectus, the annual report for the preceding
year may be so delivered, but within such 120 day period the annual report for
the last fiscal year will be furnished to each such employee.
(2) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
