   same vote that is required by the General Corporation Law of the State of
    Delaware and/or the certificate of incorporation of this Corporation.  For
  the purposes of this Article Seventeenth, the term "parent" shall mean a
   corporation that owns, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the
outstanding capital stock of this Corporation entitled to vote in the 
    election of directors of this Corporation without regard to the occurrence
of any contingency."                                                  

     Section 1.4   By-laws.  From and after the Effective Time, the By-laws of
Mergeco, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the By- 
laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein  
or by applicable law.

        (b)  Each share of Company Common Stock issued but held by Holdco in

 represent one duly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Holdco
     Common Stock held by Holdco in its treasury immediately after the Effective
Time of the Merger.                                                   

          (c)  Each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Mergeco
 issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
 converted into and thereafter represent one duly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the
Surviving Corporation.                                                

   (d)  From and after the Effective Time, holders of certificates
    formerly evidencing Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights as
    stockholders of the Company, except as provided by law; provided, however,
   that such holders shall have the rights set forth in Section 1.10 herein.

Section 1.9   Preferred Share Purchase Rights.                      

         (a)  In accordance with Section 36 of that certain Second Amended and
Restated Rights Agreement dated as of December 15, 1995, as thereafter
    amended, between the Company and ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C.,
 as Rights Agent (the "Company Rights Plan"), each outstanding preferred
share purchase right of the Company ("Company Purchase Right") shall  
terminate as of the Effective Time.                                   

     (b)  Holdco shall, prior to the Effective Time, adopt a preferred
     share purchase rights plan (the "Holdco Rights Plan") substantially similar
in form and substance to the Company Rights Plan and, in accordance   
   therewith, Holdco shall, at the Effective Time but without duplication of
    Holdco's obligations under the Holdco Rights Plan, issue to each holder of
 Holdco Common Stock issued pursuant hereto one preferred share purchase
right ("Holdco Purchase Right") for each share of Holdco Common Stock 
issued by it pursuant to Section 1.8(a) herein.                       

   Section 1.10  No Surrender of Certificates; Stock Transfer Books.  As a
result of the provisions of Section 1.3 herein, in conjunction with the         
provisions of a certificate of amendment of certificate of incorporation of     
Holdco to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and to  
become effective at immediately after the Effective Time, the corporate name of 
Holdco immediately following the Effective Time will be "Halliburton Company",  
the same name as the corporate name of the Company immediately prior to the     
Effective Time.  Accordingly, until thereafter surrendered for transfer or      
exchange in the ordinary course, each outstanding certificate that, immediately 
prior to the Effective Time, evidenced Company Common Stock shall be deemed and 
treated for all corporate purposes to evidence the ownership of the number of   
shares of Holdco
