ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL National Oilwell is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and sale of comprehensive systems, components, and products used in oil and gas drilling and production, as well as in distributing products and providing supply chain integration services to the upstream oil and gas industry. Our Products and Technology segment is a global leader in the design and manufacture of complete land drilling and workover rigs, and for drilling related systems on offshore rigs. Technology has increased the desirability of one vendor assuming responsibility for the entire suite of components used in the drilling process, as mechanical and hydraulic components are replaced by or augmented with integrated computerized systems. In addition to traditional components such as drawworks, mud pumps, top drives, derricks, cranes, jacking and mooring systems, and other structural components, we provide automated pipehandling, control and electrical power systems. We have also developed new technology for drawworks and mud pumps applicable to the highly demanding offshore markets. Non-capital products produced by our Products and Technology segment include drilling motors and specialized downhole tools that are sold or rented, spare parts and service on the large installed base of our equipment, expendable parts for mud pumps and other equipment, and smaller downhole, progressive cavity and transfer pumps. Our Distribution Services segment provides maintenance, repair and operating supplies and spare parts to drill site and production locations throughout North America and to offshore contractors worldwide. Increasingly, this business also is expanding to locations outside North America, including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South America. Using our information technology platforms and processes, we can provide complete procurement, inventory management, and logistics services to our customers. BUSINESS STRATEGY National Oilwell's business strategy is to enhance its market positions and operating performance in the upstream oil and gas business by: Leveraging our Capital Equipment Installed Base We believe our market position and comprehensive product offering present substantial opportunities to capture a significant portion of expenditures for the construction of new drilling rigs and equipment as well as the upgrade and refurbishment of existing drilling rigs and equipment. Over the next few years, the advanced age of the existing fleet of drilling rigs, coupled with drilling activity involving greater depths and extended reach, is expected to generate demand for new equipment. National Oilwell's automation and control systems offer the potential to improve the performance of new and existing drilling rigs. The large installed base of our equipment also provides recurring demand for spare parts and expendable products necessary for proper and efficient operation. Expanding our Non-Capital Products Business Our non-capital equipment revenues continue to represent over half of our products and technology business. We are a leader in the rental and sale of high-performance drilling motors and downhole tools and in the manufacture of certain expendable products and spare parts needed in the drilling and production process. We believe additional expansion in the non-capital upstream oil and gas industry would be beneficial to our business and our customers. 1
Furthering our Information Technology and Process Improvement Strategy National Oilwell has developed an integrated information technology and process improvement strategy to enhance procurement, inventory management and logistics activities. As a result of the need to improve industry efficiency, oil and gas companies and drilling contractors are frequently seeking alliances with suppliers, manufacturers and service providers to achieve cost and capital improvements. We believe we are well positioned to provide these services as a result of our: - large and geographically diverse network of distribution service centers in major oil and gas producing areas; - strong relationship with a large community of industry suppliers; - knowledge of customers procurement processes, suppliers capabilities and products performance; and - information systems that offer customers and suppliers enhanced capabilities. In addition, the integration of our distribution expertise, extensive network and growing base of customer alliances provides an increased opportunity for cost-effective marketing of our manufactured parts and equipment. Continuing our Acquisitions Strategy We believe the oilfield service and equipment industry will continue to experience consolidation as businesses seek to align themselves with other market participants in order to gain access to broader markets and integrated product offerings. From 1997 through January 2003, National Oilwell has made a total of thirty-two acquisitions and plans to continue to participate in this trend. OPERATIONS Products and Technology National Oilwell designs, manufactures and sells drilling systems and components for both land and offshore drilling rigs as well as complete land drilling and well servicing rigs. Mechanical components include drawworks, mud pumps, top drives, solids control equipment, traveling equipment and rotary tables. These components are essential to pump fluids and hoist, support and rotate the drill string. Many of these components are designed specifically for applications in offshore, extended reach and deep land drilling. This equipment is installed on new rigs and often replaced during the upgrade and refurbishment of existing rigs. We design and manufacture masts, derricks and substructures for use on land rigs and on fixed and mobile offshore platforms suitable for drilling applications to depths of up to 30,000 feet or more. Other products include cranes, jacking systems, mooring systems, reciprocating and centrifugal pumps and fluid end expendables for all major manufacturers' pumps. Our business includes the sale of replacement parts for our own manufactured machinery and equipment. We also design and manufacture electrical systems and control and data acquisition systems for drilling related operations and automated and remotely controlled machinery for drilling rigs. Our control systems can control and monitor many simultaneous operations on a drilling rig and often form the basis for our state-of-the-art driller's cabin. Our automated pipe handling system provides an efficient and cost effective method of joining lengths of drill pipe or casing as does our iron roughneck. These and similar technologically advanced products can greatly improve the safety on rigs, often by reducing the number of persons working on the drilling floor. 2
While offering a complete line of conventional rigs, National Oilwell has extensive experience in providing rig designs to satisfy requirements for harsh or specialized environments. Such products include drilling and well servicing rigs designed for the Arctic, highly mobile drilling and well servicing rigs for jungle and desert use, modular well servicing rigs for offshore platforms and modular drilling facilities for North Sea platforms. We also design and produce fully integrated drilling solutions for offshore rigs. National Oilwell designs and manufactures drilling motors, drilling jars and specialized drilling tools for rent and sale. We also design and manufacture a complete line of fishing tools used to remove objects stuck in the wellbore. Distribution Services National Oilwell provides distribution services through its network of approximately 150 distribution service centers. These distribution service centers stock and sell a variety of expendable items for oilfield applications and spare parts for our proprietary equipment. As oil and gas companies and drilling contractors have refocused on their core competencies and emphasized efficiency initiatives to reduce costs and capital requirements, our distribution services have expanded to offer outsourcing and alliance arrangements that include comprehensive procurement, inventory management and logistics support. In addition, we believe we have a competitive advantage in the distribution services business by distributing market-leading products manufactured by us and from the association of this business with our Products and Technology segment. The supplies and equipment stocked by our distribution service centers vary by location. Each distribution point generally offers a large line of oilfield products including valves, fittings, flanges, spare parts for oilfield equipment and miscellaneous expendable items. Most drilling contractors and oil and gas companies typically buy supplies and equipment pursuant to non-exclusive contracts, which normally specify a discount from list price for each product or product category. Our goal is to create strategic alliances with our customers whereby we become the customer's primary supplier of those items. In certain cases, we assume responsibility for procurement, inventory management and product delivery for the customer, occasionally by working directly out of the customer's facilities. We believe e-commerce brings a significant advantage to larger companies that are technologically proficient. During the last few years, we have invested over $20 million to improve our information technology systems. Our e-commerce system can interface directly with customers' systems to maximize efficiencies for us and for our customers. We believe we have an advantage in this effort due to our investment in technology, geographic size, knowledge of the industry and customers, existing relationships with vendors and existing means of product delivery. Marketing Substantially all of our capital equipment and spare parts sales, and a large portion of our smaller pumps and parts sales, are made through our direct sales force and distribution service centers. Sales to foreign state-owned oil companies are typically made in conjunction with agent or representative arrangements. Our downhole products are generally rented and sold worldwide through our own sales force and through commissioned representatives. Distribution sales are made through our network of distribution service centers. Customers for our products and services include drilling and other service contractors, exploration and production companies, supply companies and nationally owned or controlled drilling and production companies. Competition The oilfield services and equipment industry is highly competitive and our revenues and earnings can be affected by price changes, introduction of new technologies and products and improved availability and delivery. We compete with a large number of companies, none of which are dominant. 3
Manufacturing and Backlog National Oilwell has manufacturing facilities located in the United States, Canada, Norway and China. The manufacture of parts or purchase of components is sometimes outsourced to qualified subcontractors. The manufacturing operations require a variety of components, parts and raw materials which we purchase from multiple commercial sources. We have not experienced and do not expect any significant delays in obtaining deliveries of materials. Sales of products are made on the basis of written orders and oral commitments. Our backlog for equipment at recent year-ends has been:
RISK FACTORS You should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to other information contained or incorporated by reference herein. Realization of any of the following risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. National Oilwell Depends on the Oil and Gas Industry National Oilwell is dependent upon the oil and gas industry and its willingness to explore for and produce oil and gas. The industry's willingness to explore and produce depends upon the prevailing view of future product prices. Many factors affect the supply and demand for oil and gas and therefore influence product prices, including: o level of production from known reserves; o cost of producing oil and gas; o level of drilling activity; o worldwide economic activity; o national government political requirements; o development of alternate energy sources; and o environmental regulations. If there is a significant reduction in demand for drilling services, in cash flows of drilling contractors or production companies or in drilling or well servicing rig utilization rates, then demand for our products will decline. Oil and Gas Prices are Volatile Oil and gas prices have been volatile since 1990, ranging from $10 - $40 per barrel. Over the last three years, oil prices have generally ranged within $20 - $30 per barrel. Spot gas prices have also been volatile since 1990, ranging from less than $1.00 per mmbtu to above $10.00. Gas prices were moderate in 1998 and 1999, generally ranging from $1.80 to $2.50 per mmbtu. Gas prices in 2000 generally ranged from $4.00 - $8.00 per mmbtu. In the second quarter of 2001, gas prices came under pressure, generally ranging between $2.20 to $3.00 per mmbtu through the first quarter of 2002. Gas prices have generally ranged between $3.00 - $5.00 per mmbtu since that time. Expectations for future oil and gas prices cause many shifts in the strategies and expenditure levels of oil and gas companies and drilling contractors, particularly with respect to decisions to purchase major capital equipment of the type we manufacture. Industry activity and our revenues have not responded to the higher commodity prices that have existed since the second quarter of 2002, presumably due to concerns that these prices will not continue in the current range. We cannot predict future oil and gas prices or the effect prices will have on exploration and production levels. National Oilwell's Industry is Highly Competitive The oilfield products and services industry is highly competitive. The following competitive actions can each affect our revenues and earnings: o price changes; o new product and technology introductions; and o improvements in availability and delivery. We compete with many companies and there are low barriers to entry in many of our business segments. 5
National Oilwell Faces Potential Product Liability and Warranty Claims Customers use some of our products in potentially hazardous drilling, completion and production applications that can cause: o injury or loss of life; o damage to property, equipment or the environment; and o suspension of operations. We maintain amounts and types of insurance coverage that we believe are consistent with normal industry practice. We cannot guarantee that insurance will be adequate to cover all liabilities we may incur. We also may not be able to maintain insurance in the future at levels we believe are necessary and at rates we consider reasonable. National Oilwell may be named as a defendant in product liability or other lawsuits asserting potentially large claims if an accident occurs at a location where our equipment and services have been used. We are currently party to various legal and administrative proceedings. We cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, nor can we guarantee any negative outcomes will not be significant to us. Instability of Foreign Markets Could Have a Negative Impact on our Revenues and Operating Results Some of our revenues depend upon customers in the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, South America and other international markets. These revenues are subject to risks of instability of foreign economies and governments. Laws and regulations limiting exports to particular countries can affect our sales, and sometimes export laws and regulations of one jurisdiction contradict those of another. Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates Could Have a Negative Impact on our Revenues and Operating Results National Oilwell is exposed to the risks of changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Our Norwegian companies enter into foreign exchange forward contracts, primarily between the Norwegian kroner and the US dollar, to hedge cash flows on certain significant contracts. Our decisions regarding the need for hedging foreign currencies in Norway and other countries can adversely affect our operating results. National Oilwell May Not be Able to Successfully Manage its Growth National Oilwell has acquired 32 companies since April 1997, including nine in 2001 and four in 2002. In addition, we acquired two other companies in January 2003. We cannot predict whether suitable acquisition candidates will be available on reasonable terms or if we will have access to adequate funds to complete any desired acquisition. Once acquired, we cannot guarantee that we will successfully integrate the operations of the acquired companies. Combining organizations could interrupt the activities of some or all of our businesses and have a negative impact on operations. National Oilwell has Debt In 1998, National Oilwell issued $150 million of 6 7/8% unsecured senior notes due July 1, 2005. In 2001, we issued an additional $150 million of 6 1/2% unsecured senior notes due March 15, 2011. In 2002, we issued $200 million of 5.65% unsecured senior notes due November 15, 2012. We also have a $175 million revolving line of credit and approximately $223 million in facilities, of which $91 million was available at December 31, 2002, under various borrowing arrangements of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. Our leverage requires us to use some of our cash flow from operations for payment of interest on our debt. Our leverage may also make it more difficult to obtain additional financing in the future. Further, our leverage could make us more vulnerable to economic downturns and competitive pressures. 6

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION National Oilwell is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and sale of drilling systems, drilling equipment and downhole products as well as the distribution to the oil and gas industry of maintenance, repair and operating products. Our revenues and operating results are directly related to the level of worldwide oil and gas drilling and production activities and the profitability and cash flow of oil and gas companies and drilling contractors, which in turn are affected by current and anticipated prices of oil and gas. Oil and gas prices have been and are likely to continue to be volatile. See "Risk Factors". We conduct our operations through the following segments: Products and Technology Our Products and Technology segment is a global leader in the design and manufacture of complete land drilling and workover rigs, and for drilling related systems on offshore rigs. Technology has increased the desirability of one vendor assuming responsibility for the entire suite of components used in the drilling process, as mechanical and hydraulic components are replaced by or augmented with integrated computerized systems. In addition to traditional components such as drawworks, mud pumps, top drives, derricks, cranes, jacking and mooring systems, and other structural components, we provide automated pipehandling, control and electrical power systems. We have also developed new technology for drawworks and mud pumps applicable to the highly demanding offshore markets. Distribution Services Our Distribution Services segment provides maintenance, repair and operating supplies and spare parts from our network of distribution service centers to drill site and production locations throughout North America and to offshore contractors worldwide. Increasingly, this business also is expanding to locations outside North America, including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South America. Using our information technology platforms and processes, we can provide complete procurement, inventory management, and logistics services to our customers. Products are purchased from numerous manufacturers and vendors, including our Products and Technology segment. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Operating results by segment, which have been restated to reflect a business combination accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method during 2000, are as follows (in millions):
Products and Technology Products and Technology revenues in 2002 were $203.6 million (18%) lower than the previous year as moderate oil and gas prices failed to sustain the 2001 levels of market activity in all product areas. Capital equipment revenues were down $72 million while related spare parts and expendable parts were lower than 2001 by $38 million. Sales and rentals of downhole motors and fishing tools decreased by approximately $74 million, impacted by its strong dependence on the North American market. Operating income fell $44 million in 2002 when compared to the prior year, impacted by the margin reduction due to the significantly lower volume. The absence of amortization of goodwill in 2002, as required per the new accounting guidance, favorably impacted operating income by $10.4 million. Reductions in compensation expense also contributed approximately $11.0 million in operating income when compared to the prior year. Revenues from the mid-December 2002 acquisition of Hydralift ASA, and the consolidation of our Chinese joint venture, each contributed $8.0 million in revenues and $0.3 million and $2.2 million in operating income, respectively. Revenues for the Products and Technology segment in 2001 increased by $437.4 million (64 %) from 2000 as virtually all products experienced significant revenue growth. Capital equipment revenues were up $285 million, drilling spares up $35 million, expendable pumps and parts were higher by $47 million and downhole tools increased $75 million. As a result of this robust revenue growth, operating income in 2001 increased by $110.0 million from the prior year. Revenues from acquisitions completed in 2001 under the purchase method of accounting contributed $34 million in incremental revenues. Backlog of the Products and Technology capital products was $364 million at December 31, 2002, $385 million at December 31, 2001 and $282 million at December 31, 2000. Backlog at December 31, 2002 includes $170 million acquired in late December through the purchase of Hydralift ASA. Substantially all of the current backlog is expected to be shipped by mid-year 2004. Distribution Services Distribution Services revenues fell $21.6 million, or 3%, from the 2001 level as this segment's strategy to create strategic alliances and expand its international presence made significant market penetration during a difficult market. North American revenues fell approximately 16% due to the lower activity level while shipments in the international market almost doubled. Sales of our own-make products increased almost 12% while maintenance, repair and operating ("MRO") supplies fell almost 5%. Operating income in 2002 was $10.4 million lower than the prior year. Margin reduction, due to the lower volume and project bidding pressures, contributed to approximately 80% of the operating income shortfall with the remainder due to significant infrastructure growth. Distribution Services revenues in 2001 increased $186.5 million from the 2000 level with all areas and products participating in the upswing that lasted until the middle of the 4th quarter 2001. U.S. revenues of MRO supplies were up 44% while Canadian revenues were 13% higher than the prior year. Operating income in 2001 increased by $15.6 million from the prior year due to the higher revenue volume and cost efficiencies linked to the new global operating system. Revenues from acquisitions completed in 2001 under the purchase method of accounting contributed $24 million in incremental revenues. Corporate Corporate charges represent the unallocated portion of centralized and executive management costs. Year 2002 costs of $10.8 million reflect certain corporate-led marketing initiatives and general overhead incurred to support a larger company. Year 2001 costs of $10.2 million represents a 10% reduction from the prior year as various e-strategy and e-commerce initiatives became operational. Year 2003 corporate charges are expected to approximate $12 million due to recent acquisitions. 11
Special Charge During 2000, we recorded a special charge, net of a $0.4 million credit from previous special charges, of $14.1 million ($11.0 million after tax, or $0.14 per share) related to the merger with IRI International. Components of the charge were (in millions):
Total capital expenditures were $24.8 million during 2002, $27.4 million in 2001 and $24.6 million in 2000. Additions and enhancements to the downhole rental tool fleet and information management and inventory control systems represent the majority of these capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $35 million in 2003, which should also approximate depreciation expense in that year, with continued emphasis on rental tools and information technology. We believe we have sufficient existing manufacturing capacity to meet currently anticipated demand through 2003 for our products and services. In November 2002, we sold $200 million of 5.65 % unsecured senior notes due November 15, 2012. Proceeds were used to acquire Hydralift ASA. Interest is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year. In March 2001, we sold $150 million of 6.50 % unsecured senior notes due March 15, 2011, with interest payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. In June 1998, we sold $150 million of 6.875 % unsecured senior notes due July 1, 2005, with interest payments due annually on January 1 and July 1. On July 30, 2002, we replaced the existing credit facility with a new three-year unsecured $175 million revolving credit facility. This facility is available for acquisitions and general corporate purposes and provides up to $50 million for letters of credit, of which $22.0 million were outstanding at December 31, 2002. Interest is based upon prime or Libor plus 0.5% subject to a ratings based grid. In securing this new credit facility, we incurred approximately $0.9 million in fees which will be amortized to expense over the term of the facility. The senior notes contain reporting covenants and the credit facility contains financial covenants and ratios regarding maximum debt to capital and minimum interest coverage. We were in compliance with all covenants governing these facilities at December 31, 2002. We also have additional credit facilities totaling $223 million that are used primarily for acquisitions, general corporate purposes and letters of credit. Recently acquired Hydralift ASA represents $152 million of these facilities. These multi-currency Hydralift committed facilities are secured by a guarantee, contain financial covenants and expire in 2006. Borrowings against these additional credit facilities totaled $93 million at December 31, 2002 and an additional $39 million had been used for letters of credit and guarantees. We believe cash generated from operations and amounts available under our credit facilities and from other sources of debt will be sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements and financing obligations. We also believe any significant increase in capital expenditures caused by any need to increase manufacturing capacity can be funded from operations or through debt financing. We have not entered into any transactions, arrangements, or relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons which would materially affect liquidity, or the availability of or requirements for capital resources. A summary of our outstanding contractual obligations and other commercial commitments at December 31, 2002 is as follows (in thousands): 13
Interest Rate Risk Our long term borrowings consist of $150 million in 6.875% senior notes, $150 million in 6.5% senior notes and $200 million in 5.65% senior notes. We also have borrowings under our other facilities totaling $94.6 million at December 31, 2002. A portion of the borrowings are denominated in multiple currencies which could expose us to market risk with exchange rate movements. These instruments carry interest at a pre-agreed upon percentage point spread from either the prime interest rate, LIBOR or NIBOR. Under our credit facilities, we may, at our option, fix the interest rate for certain borrowings based on a spread over LIBOR or NIBOR for 30 days to 6 months. Based upon our December 31, 2002 borrowings under our variable rate facilities of $94.6 million, an immediate change of one percent in the interest rate would cause a change in annual interest expense of approximately $0.9 million. Our objective in maintaining a portion of our debt in variable rate borrowings is the flexibility obtained regarding early repayment without penalties and lower overall cost as compared with fixed-rate borrowings. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimation process generally relates to potential bad debts, obsolete and slow moving inventory, value of intangible assets, and deferred income tax accounting. Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contains the accounting policies governing each of these matters. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on our future expectations that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The combination of these factors result in the amounts shown as carrying values of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from our current estimates and those differences may be material. We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements: We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivables by providing for specifically identified accounts where collectibility is doubtful and a general allowance based on the aging of the receivables compared to past experience and current trends. A majority of our revenues come from drilling contractors, independent oil companies, international oil companies and government-owned or government-controlled oil companies, and we have receivables, some denominated in local currency, in many foreign countries. If, due to changes in worldwide oil and gas drilling activity or changes in economic conditions in certain foreign countries, our customers were unable to repay these receivables, additional allowances would be required. Allowances for inventory obsolescence are determined based on our historical usage of inventory on-hand as well as our future expectations related to our substantial installed base and the development of new products. The amount reserved is the recorded cost of the inventory minus its estimated realizable value. Changes in worldwide oil and gas drilling activity and the development of new technologies associated with the drilling industry could require additional allowances to reduce the value of inventory to the lower of its cost or net realizable value. Business acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The cost of the acquired company is allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets based on estimated fair value, with the excess allocated to goodwill. On at least an annual basis, we assess whether goodwill is impaired. Our annual impairment tests are performed at the beginning of the 4th quarter of each year. If we determine that goodwill is impaired, we measure that impairment based on the amount by which the book value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by deducting the fair value of a reporting unit's identifiable assets and liabilities from the fair value of that reporting unit as a whole. Additional impairment assessments may be performed on an interim basis if we encounter events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that, more likely than not, the carrying amount of goodwill has been impaired. The fair value of the reporting units is determined based on internal management estimates that considers multiple valuation techniques. Our net deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at the amount that is more likely than not to be realized or paid. Should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period of such determination. 15
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On January 2, 2003, we acquired LSI, a Houston, Texas based distributor of specialty electrical products, for approximately $13 million. This transaction generated approximately $6 million in goodwill and is complementary to our distribution services business. On January 16, 2003, we acquired the Mono pumping products business from Halliburton Energy Services for approximately $89 million, consisting of $22.7 million in cash and 3.2 million shares of our common stock. This transaction, which consisted of purchasing all the outstanding stock of Monoflo, Inc. in the United States and Mono Group in the United Kingdom, generated approximately $46 million in goodwill and will add to the non-capital product lines within our Products and Technology segment. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which sets forth the accounting and reporting to be followed for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs and SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", addresses disposal activities and termination costs in exiting an activity. These pronouncements are generally effective January 1, 2003. The Company believes the adoption of these new accounting pronouncements will not have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Some of the information in this document contains, or has incorporated by reference, forward-looking statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors and Shareholders National-Oilwell, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of National-Oilwell, Inc., as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of National-Oilwell, Inc., at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2002 the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP Houston, Texas February 18, 2003 23

NATIONAL-OILWELL, INC. CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
NATIONAL-OILWELL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION NATURE OF BUSINESS We are a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and sale of comprehensive systems, components, and products used in oil and gas drilling and production, as well as in distributing products and providing supply chain integration services to the upstream oil and gas industry. Our revenues and operating results are directly related to the level of worldwide oil and gas drilling and production activities and the profitability and cash flow of oil and gas companies and drilling contractors, which in turn are affected by current and anticipated prices of oil and gas. Oil and gas prices have been and are likely to continue to be volatile. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of National-Oilwell, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments that are not wholly-owned, but where we exercise control, are fully consolidated with the equity held by minority owners reflected as minority interest in the accompanying balance sheet and their portion of net income (loss) is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying statement of operations. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, over which we exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for by the equity method. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and payables approximated fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. Cash equivalents include only those investments having a maturity date of three months or less at the time of purchase. The carrying values of other financial instruments approximate their respective fair values. Derivative Financial Instruments We record all derivative financial instruments at their fair value in our consolidated balance sheet. All derivative financial instruments we hold are designated as cash flow hedges and are highly effective in offsetting movements in the underlying risks. Accordingly, gains and losses from changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are deferred and recognized in earnings as the underlying transactions occur. Because our derivative financial instruments are so closely related to the underlying transactions, hedge ineffectiveness is insignificant. We use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on firm sale commitments to better match the local currency cost components of our fixed US dollar contracts. Such arrangements typically have terms between three months and one year, depending upon the customer's purchase order. We also use, from time to time, interest rate contracts to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates on anticipated long-term debt issuances. These contracts are typically short term in nature. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. 28
Inventories Inventories consist of oilfield products, manufactured equipment, manufactured specialized drilling products and downhole motors and spare parts for manufactured equipment and drilling products. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods. Allowances for excess and obsolete inventories are determined based on our historical usage of inventory on-hand as well as our future expectations related to our substantial installed base and the development of new products. The amount reserved, which totaled $49.4 million and $49.1 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, is the recorded cost of the inventory minus its estimated realizable value. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories have been immaterial in recent years. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major improvements that extend the lives of property and equipment are capitalized while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method or declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of individual items. Depreciation expense was $25.0 million, $27.1 million and $24.7 million for the years ending December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. Long-lived Assets Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS 144 superceded SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". The adoption of SFAS 144 had no effect on our results of operations. We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value if lower than carrying value. In determining the fair market value of the assets, we consider market trends and recent transactions involving sales of similar assets, or when not available, discounted cash flow analysis. Assets Held for Sale In the course of integrating acquisitions and streamlining operations, we have closed certain manufacturing facilities. Facilities where we have a formal plan to sell the facility are classified as held for sale. We expect these facilities to be sold within the next 1 to 3 years. When we designate an asset as held for sale, we record its carrying value at the lower of its current carrying amount or the estimated fair value less costs to sell and stop recording depreciation expense. Intangible Assets Beginning in 2002, we adopted FAS 142 "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and accordingly stopped amortizing goodwill that arose from acquisitions before June 30, 2001. We also performed an impairment test as of the beginning of 2002 that indicated no impairment of goodwill or other intangibles. The effect of not amortizing goodwill and other intangibles in periods prior to adoption follows (in thousands): 29
upon the relationship between actual costs incurred and total expected costs at completion. All known or anticipated losses on contracts are provided for immediately in earnings. Income Taxes The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts which are more likely than not to be realized. Concentration of Credit Risk We grant credit to our customers, which operate primarily in the oil and gas industry. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition and generally do not require collateral, but may require letters of credit for certain international sales. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivables by providing for specifically identified accounts where collectibility is doubtful and an additional allowance based on the aging of the receivables compared to past experience and current trends. Accounts receivable are net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $12.6 million and $9.1 million at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation We use the intrinsic value method in accounting for our stock-based employee compensation plans. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported and contingent amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recently Issued Accounting Standards The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which sets forth the accounting and reporting to be followed for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs and SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", addresses disposal activities and termination costs in exiting an activity. These pronouncements are generally effective January 1, 2003. The Company believes the adoption of these new accounting pronouncements will not have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position. 31
Net Income Per Share The following table sets forth the computation of weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding (in thousands):
The purchase price will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. A preliminary allocation of the purchase price follows (in thousands):
Year 2001 In 2001, we acquired nine companies for an aggregate of $51 million in cash. Individual purchase prices ranged from $0.6 million to $16.5 million. Each of these acquisitions enhanced or expanded our market position within each of our segments. Five of these acquisitions related to our Products and Technology segment, including Integrated Power Systems, Maritime Hydraulics (Canada) Ltd., Tech Power Controls Company, Houston Scientific International, Inc. and Rigquip UK business and related assets. The remaining acquisitions, including Demij (a Netherlands distribution company), Rye Supply Company, Inc., Texas Oil Works Supply, Inc. and Well-Serv, Inc. related to our Distribution segment. Aggregate goodwill relating to these acquisitions was $30 million and approximately half of this amount is deductible for tax purposes. Year 2000 In February 2000, the merger with Hitec ASA was completed for approximately $158 million as we issued 7.9 million shares of common stock. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase effective February 1, 2000 and generated goodwill of approximately $150 million. In June 2000, IRI International Corporation was merged with the Company and accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. We issued 13.5 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $447 million. During 2000 we also acquired four other businesses for approximately $48 million in cash. The purchase method of accounting was used to account for these acquisitions and generated approximately $9 million in goodwill. Subsequent Events On January 2, 2003, we acquired LSI, a Houston, Texas based distributor of specialty electrical products, for approximately $13 million. This transaction generated approximately $6 million in goodwill and is complementary to our distribution services business. On January 16, 2003 we acquired the Mono pumping products business from Halliburton Energy Services for approximately $89 million, consisting of $22.7 million in cash and 3.2 million shares of our common stock. This transaction, which consisted of purchasing all the outstanding stock of Monoflo, Inc. in the United States and Mono Group in the United Kingdom, generated approximately $46 million in goodwill. 34
3. INVENTORIES Inventories consist of (in thousands):
June 1998, we sold $150 million of 6.875 % unsecured senior notes due July 1, 2005, with interest payments due annually on January 1 and July 1. On July 30, 2002, we replaced the existing credit facility with a new three-year unsecured $175 million revolving credit facility. This facility is available for acquisitions and general corporate purposes and provides up to $50 million for letters of credit, of which $22.0 million were outstanding at December 31, 2002. Interest is based upon prime or Libor plus 0.5% subject to a ratings based grid. In securing this new credit facility, we incurred approximately $0.9 million in fees which will be amortized to expense over the term of the facility. The senior notes contain reporting covenants and the credit facility contains financial covenants and ratios regarding maximum debt to capital and minimum interest coverage. We were in compliance with all covenants governing these facilities at December 31, 2002. We also have additional credit facilities totaling $223 million that are used primarily for acquisitions, general corporate purposes and letters of credit. Recently acquired Hydralift ASA represents $152 million of these facilities. These multi-currency Hydralift committed facilities are secured by a guarantee, contain financial covenants and expire in 2006. These instruments carry interest at a pre-agreed upon percentage point spread from either the prime interest rate or NIBOR. Borrowings against these additional credit facilities totaled $93 million at December 31, 2002 and an additional $39 million had been used for letters of credit and guarantees. 6. PENSION PLANS National Oilwell and its consolidated subsidiaries have pension plans covering substantially all of its employees. Defined-contribution pension plans cover most of the U.S. and Canadian employees and are based on years of service, a percentage of current earnings and matching of employee contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, pension expense for defined-contribution plans was $9.1 million, $6.0 million and $4.2 million, and all funding is current. Certain retired or terminated employees of predecessor or acquired companies also participate in defined benefit plans in the United States which have been retained by National Oilwell subsidiaries but which no longer accrue benefits. Active employees are ineligible to participate in any of these defined benefit plans. Our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom have a defined benefit pension plan whose participants are primarily retired and terminated employees who are no longer accruing benefits. In addition, approximately 160 U.S. retirees and spouses participate in defined benefit health care plans of predecessor or acquired companies that provide postretirement medical and life insurance benefits. Pension assets are principally invested in a fixed income bond fund, equity securities, United Kingdom government securities and cash deposits. 36
The change in benefit obligation, plan assets and the funded status of the defined pension plans in the United States and the United Kingdom, and defined postretirement plans in the United States, follows:
Significant assumptions used for the plans follow:
7. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME / (LOSS) The components of other comprehensive loss are as follows (in thousands):
9. COMMON STOCK National Oilwell has authorized 150 million shares of $.01 par value common stock. We also have authorized 10 million shares of $.01 par value preferred stock, none of which is issued or outstanding. Under the terms of National Oilwell's Stock Award and Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, 8.4 million shares of common stock are authorized for the grant of options to officers, key employees, non-employee directors and other persons. Options granted under our stock option plan generally vest over a three-year period starting one year from the date of grant and expire five or ten years from the date of grant. The purchase price of options granted may not be less than the market price of National Oilwell common stock on the date of grant. At December 31, 2002, approximately 4.2 million shares were available for future grants. We also have inactive stock option plans that were acquired in connection with the acquisitions of Dreco Energy Services, Ltd. in 1997, and of Hitec ASA and IRI International Corporation in 2000. We converted the outstanding stock options under these plans to options to acquire our common stock and no further options are being issued under these plans. Stock option information summarized below includes amounts for the National Oilwell Stock Award and Long-Term Incentive Plan and stock plans of acquired companies. Options outstanding at December 31, 2002 under the stock option plans have exercise prices between $5.62 and $40.50 per share, and expire at various dates from February 19, 2003 to August 15, 2012. The following summarizes options activity:
The following summarizes information about stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2002:
10. INCOME TAXES The domestic and foreign components of income before income taxes were as follows (in thousands):
The difference between the effective tax rate reflected in the provision for income taxes and the U.S. federal statutory rate was as follows (in thousands):
Also in the United States, the Company has $9.1 million of capital loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2002, which expire at various dates through 2005. The related potential benefit of $3.5 million has been recorded with a valuation allowance of $3.5 million. These capital losses are not available to reduce future operating income but are expected to be realized as deductions against future capital gains. The Company has $ 15.1 million of excess foreign tax credits as of December 31, 2002, which expire at various dates through 2006. These credits have been allotted a valuation allowance of $ 14.1 million and would be realized as a reduction of future income tax expense. Outside the United States, the company has $67.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2002. Of this amount, $65.3 million will expire at various dates through 2012 and $2.2 million is available indefinitely. The related potential benefit available of $19.7 million has been recorded with a valuation allowance of $9.6 million. If the Company ultimately realizes the benefit of these net operating losses, $9.4 million would reduce goodwill and other intangible assets and $10.3 million would reduce income tax expense. The deferred tax valuation allowance increased $0.4 million for the period ending December 31, 2002 and $1.2 million for the period ending December 31, 2001. These increases resulted primarily from the recognition of additional excess foreign tax credits that may not be realized in the future. National-Oilwell's deferred tax assets are expected to be realized principally through future earnings. Undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries amounted to $193.4 million and $149.2 million at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Those earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested and no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been made. Distribution of these earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise could result in either U.S. federal taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable in various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practical; however, unrecognized foreign tax credit carryforwards would be available to reduce some portion of the U.S. liability. Withholding taxes of approximately $23.4 million would be payable upon remittance of all previously unremitted earnings at December 31, 2002. 11. SPECIAL CHARGE During 2000, we recorded a special charge, net of a $0.4 million credit from previous special charges, of $14.1 million ($11.0 million after tax, or $0.14 per share) related to the merger with IRI International. Components of the charge were (in millions):
12. BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS National Oilwell's operations consist of two segments: Products and Technology and Distribution Services. The Products and Technology segment designs and manufactures a variety of oilfield equipment for use in oil and gas drilling, completion and production activities. The Distribution Services segment distributes an extensive line of oilfield supplies and equipment. Intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for at commercial prices and are eliminated in consolidation. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies of the Company. The Company evaluates performance of each reportable segment based upon its operating income, excluding non-recurring items. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated revenues during the three years ended December 31, 2002. 45

For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled 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 of Directors of the Corporation may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Article VIII, Section 3 of these bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. If, in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II, corporate action without a meeting of stockholders is to be taken, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to such corporate action in writing, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. 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 of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. -2-
Section 6. Notice of Meetings. Written notice of the place, date and hour of all meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the President, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. Such notice may be delivered either personally or by mail. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Section 7. Stock List. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. Section 8. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Proxies for use at any meeting of stockholders shall be filed with the Secretary, or such other officer as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution, before or at the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares. Section 9. Voting; Elections; Inspectors. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock -3-
entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting. Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaw (or comparable instrument) of such corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors (or comparable body) of such corporation may determine. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy. All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or by proxy at any meeting a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a certificate of the result thereof. The chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to serve as inspector, except no candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. Section 10. Conduct of Meetings. The meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or if he is not present, by the President, or if neither the Chairman of the Board (if any), nor President is present, by a chairman elected at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, if present, shall act as secretary of such meetings, or if he is not present, an Assistant Secretary shall so act; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, then a secretary shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him in order. Unless the chairman of the meeting of stockholders shall otherwise determine, the order of business shall be as follows: (a) Calling of meeting to order. (b) Election of a chairman and the appointment of a secretary if necessary. (c) Presentation of proof of the due calling of the meeting. (d) Presentation and examination of proxies and determination of a quorum. (e) Reading and settlement of the minutes of the previous meeting. (f) Reports of officers and committees.

The Corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock owned by it and such shares shall not be counted for quorum purposes. Section 12. Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action permitted or required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws to be taken at a meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than a unanimous written consent shall be given by the Secretary to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Article III Board of Directors Section 1. Power; Number; Term of Office. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, and subject to the restrictions imposed by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, they may exercise all the powers of the Corporation. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors, shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors (provided that no decrease in the number of directors which would have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director may be made by the Board of Directors). If the Board of Directors makes no such determination, the number of directors shall be the number set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected, and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors need not be stockholders nor residents of the State of Delaware. Section 2. Quorum. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board of Directors and the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. Section 3. Place of Meetings; Order of Business. The directors may hold their meetings and may have an office and keep the books of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided by -5-
law, in such place or places, within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution. At all meetings of the Board of Directors business shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to time be determined by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or in his absence by the President, or by resolution of the Board of Directors. Section 4. First Meeting. Each newly elected Board of Directors may hold its first meeting for the purpose of organization and the transaction of business, if a quorum is present, immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of the stockholders. Notice of such meeting shall not be required. At the first meeting of the Board of Directors in each year at which a quorum shall be present, held next after the annual meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors shall proceed to the election of the officers of the Corporation. Section 5. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such times and places as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.

Such notice, or any waiver thereof pursuant to Article VIII, Section 3 hereof, need not state the purpose or purposes of such meeting, except as may otherwise be required by law or provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws. Section 7. Removal. Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided that, unless the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, if the Board of Directors is classified, then the stockholders may effect such removal only for cause; and provided further that, if the Certificate of Incorporation expressly grants to stockholders the right to cumulate votes for the election of directors and if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part. Section 8. Vacancies; Increases in the Number of Directors. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or a sole remaining director; and any director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until his successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced. If the directors of the Corporation are divided into classes, any directors elected to fill vacancies or newly created directorships shall hold office until the next election of the class for -6-
which such directors shall have been chosen, and until their successors shall be duly elected and shall qualify. Section 9. Compensation. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. Section 10. Action Without a Meeting; Telephone Conference Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting, and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the requirement for notice of meetings, members of the Board of Directors, or members of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of such Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Section 11. Approval or Ratification of Acts or Contracts by Stockholders. The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. In addition, any such act or contract may be approved or ratified by the written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and such consent shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. Article IV Committees Section 1. Designation Powers. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, including, if they shall so -7-
determine, an executive committee, each such committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. Any such designated committee shall have and may exercise such of the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation as may be provided in such resolution, except that no such committee shall have the power or authority of the Board of Directors in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution of the Corporation, or amending, altering or repealing the bylaws or adopting new bylaws for the Corporation and, unless such resolution or the Certificate of Incorporation expressly so provides, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock. Any such designated committee may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. In addition to the above such committee or committees shall have such other powers and limitations of authority as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. Section 2. Procedure; Meetings; Quorum. Any committee designated pursuant to Section 1 of this Article shall choose its own chairman, shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors when requested, shall fix its own rules or procedures, and shall meet at such times and at such place or places as may be provided by such rules, or by resolution of such committee or resolution of the Board of Directors. At every meeting of any such committee, the presence of a majority of all the members thereof shall constitute a quorum and the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present shall be necessary for the adoption by it of any resolution. Section 3. Substitution of Members. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of such committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of the absent or disqualified member.

The officers of the Corporation shall be a President, one or more Vice Presidents (any one or more of whom may be designated Executive Vice President or Senior Vice President), a Treasurer, a Secretary and, if the Board of Directors so elects, a Chairman of the Board and such other officers as the Board of Directors may from time to time elect or appoint. Each officer shall hold office until his successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify or until his death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Any number of offices may be held by the same person, unless -8-
the Certificate of Incorporation provides otherwise. Except for the Chairman of the Board, if any, no officer need be a director. Section 2. Salaries. The salaries or other compensation of the officers and agents of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors. Section 3. Removal. Any officer or agent elected or appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed, either with or without cause, by the vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors at a special meeting called for the purpose, or at any regular meeting of the Board of Directors, provided the notice for such meeting shall specify that the matter of any such proposed removal will be considered at the meeting but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Election or appointment of an officer or agent shall not of itself create contract rights. Section 4. Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Corporation may be filled by the Board of Directors. Section 5. Powers and Duties of the Chief Executive Officer. The President shall be the chief executive officer of the Corporation unless the Board of Directors designates the Chairman of the Board as chief executive officer.

Corporation may hold securities and otherwise to exercise any and all rights and powers which this Corporation may possess by reason of its ownership of securities in such other corporation. Article VI Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Agents Section 1. Right to Indemnification. 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 or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent 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 without limitation, 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 Article VI 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 current, former or proposed director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer or proposed director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to be rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service 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 indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. Section 2. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation, -11-
individually or as a group, with the same scope and effect as the indemnification of directors and officers provided for in this Article. Section 3. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a written claim received by the Corporation from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after such receipt, 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. Section 4. Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VI 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, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Section 5. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent 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. Section 6. Savings Clause. If this Article VI 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 and 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 Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. -12-
Section 7. Definitions. For purposes of this Article, reference to the "Corporation" shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger prior to (or, in the case of an entity specifically designated in a resolution of the Board of Directors, after) the adoption hereof and which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. Article VII Capital Stock Section 1. Certificates of Stock. The certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be in such form, not inconsistent with that required by law and the Certificate of Incorporation, as shall be approved by the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a Vice President shall cause to be issued to each stockholder one or more certificates, under the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof if the Board of Directors shall have provided for such seal, and signed by the Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer certifying the number of shares (and, if the stock of the Corporation shall be divided into classes or series, the class and series of such shares) owned by such stockholder in the Corporation; provided, however, that any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. The stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary, or at the office of such transfer agent or transfer agents as the Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution determine. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been placed upon any such certificate or certificates shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The stock certificates shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered in the books of the Corporation as they are issued and shall exhibit the holder's name and number of shares. Section 2. Transfer of Shares. The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the holders thereof in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares. Upon surrender to the Corporation or a transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. -13-
Section 3. Ownership of Shares. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of capital stock of the Corporation as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 4. Regulations Regarding Certificates. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration or the replacement of certificates for shares of capital stock of the Corporation. Section 5. Lost or Destroyed Certificates. The Board of Directors may determine the conditions upon which a new certificate of stock may be issued in place of a certificate which is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed; and may, in their discretion, require the owner of such certificate or his legal representative to give bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Corporation and each transfer agent and registrar against any and all losses or claims which may arise by reason of the issue of a new certificate in the place of the one so lost, stolen or destroyed. Article VIII Miscellaneous Provisions Section 1. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be such as established from time to time by the Board of Directors. Section 2. Corporate Seal. The Board of Directors may provide a suitable seal, containing the name of the Corporation. The Secretary shall have charge of the seal (if any).
