INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS Weatherford Enterra, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1970. The "Company" or "Weatherford," as used herein, refers to Weatherford Enterra, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, unless the context indicates otherwise. Weatherford is a diversified international energy service and manufacturing company that provides a variety of services and equipment to the exploration, production and transmission sectors of the oil and gas industry. The Company operates in virtually every oil and gas exploration and production region in the world. Weatherford's principal business segments include (i) the oilfield services segment, which consists of renting specialized oilfield equipment, providing fishing, milling, whipstock installation and retrieval, well control assistance and other downhole services and related tools, and providing tubular running services and related tools; (ii) the oilfield products segment, which consists of manufacturing, selling and servicing a variety of products, including cementation products, liner hangers, gas lift equipment and equipment used to provide oilfield services; and (iii) the gas compression segment, which consists of manufacturing, packaging, renting, selling and providing parts and services for gas compressor units over a broad horsepower range compressors. Weatherford has grown significantly through acquisitions, having acquired more than 20 businesses since 1991. These acquisitions have allowed the Company to expand its product and service lines, improve its worldwide market position and realize significant consolidation cost savings. Management believes it has positioned Weatherford as a market leader in its primary businesses while significantly expanding and diversifying the Company's geographic operations. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 4, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement") providing for the merger of the Company into EVI, Inc. ("EVI"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Weatherford stockholders will receive 0.95 of a share of EVI common stock for each share of Weatherford common stock. The transaction, which is expected to be accounted for as a pooling of interests and to result in no immediate U.S. federal income tax recognition for the Company's stockholders, is subject to the approval of the stockholders of each of EVI and Weatherford as well as customary regulatory approvals and other conditions to closing. The transaction is currently expected to close in late spring or early summer of 1998. There can be no assurance that this merger will be consummated. FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY INDUSTRY SEGMENT See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein for additional information. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Weatherford is a diversified international energy service and manufacturing company that provides a variety of services and equipment to the exploration, production and transmission sectors of the oil and gas industry. The Company operates in three industry segments -- oilfield services, oilfield products and gas compression. OILFIELD SERVICES. Weatherford rents specialized equipment and tools and tubular goods for drilling, completion and workover of oil and gas wells. Operators and drilling contractors often find it uneconomic to maintain complete inventories of tools, drill pipe and other equipment and therefore supplement such inventories by renting. Items rented include pressure control equipment (such as blowout preventers, high- 1 pressure valves, accumulators, adapters and choke and kill manifolds); drill string equipment (such as drill pipe, drill collars, tubing and drilling jars); pipe handling equipment (such as elevators, spiders, slips, tongs and kelly spinners); fishing and downhole tools (such as milling tools, casing cutters, jars, spears and overshots) and other equipment, including stabilizers, power swivels and bottom-hole assemblies. Weatherford provides certain downhole services, including fishing, milling and cutting services, which consist of removing or otherwise eliminating "fish" or "junk" in a well (such as a piece of equipment, a tool, a part of the drill string or debris) that is causing an obstruction. An essential step in the fishing operation is the proper selection and assembly of the fishing string. The string consists of jars, subs, overshots, spears, milling tools, casing cutters and other tools for retrieving or eliminating the "fish". The Company installs whipstocks, which are downhole tools that act as vertical ramps, to "sidetrack" an existing well bore off a vertical drilling path. Whipstocks are used primarily in multilateral and directional drilling applications. Weatherford provides well control equipment and services in critical well situations (such as a well blow-out or a high pressure sour gas well). The Company also provides plugging and abandonment services, pipe recovery wireline services, foam services and internal casing patch installation. Management believes that, based on total revenues, Weatherford is the leading worldwide supplier of rental tools and fishing and other downhole services. Weatherford provides services and equipment used to "make up" and test threaded tubular connections and to "run" tubulars that are used during the drilling, completion and workover of oil and gas wells. These services and related equipment ensure the mechanical integrity and leak-tight performance of tubular connections. Tubulars include casing, tubing, special high alloy chrome pipe and fiberglass reinforced pipe. Casing is larger diameter pipe installed (or run) in a wellbore to protect the structural integrity of the wellbore and to seal various zones in the well. Tubing is small diameter pipe run inside the casing in a producing well through which oil and gas is produced. In running tubulars, Weatherford personnel use manual or remote-controlled power tongs (similar in principle to hydraulic wrenches) and other related tubular handling equipment. The Company also provides cementation engineering services (consisting of computer-generated recommendations as to the number and placement of centralizers during cementation) and tubular inspection and cleaning services. Management believes that, based on total revenues, the Company is the leading worldwide provider of tubular running services. OILFIELD PRODUCTS. Weatherford's oilfield products segment consists of the manufacture, sale and servicing of a variety of products. The Company's cementation products, marketed under the Weatherford and Gemoco trade names, include mechanical cementing products used to center casing strings in the wellbore (such as centralizers, wellbore wipers and scratchers); float equipment used in the cementation of the casing string to prevent cement from flowing back into the casing (such as guide shoes, float shoes and float collars); and stage tools used to set cement in the annular space between the wellbore and the casing string. The Company also sells various proprietary rubber and elastomer products, including KlepothW read protectors and cementing plugs. Management believes that, based on total revenues, the Company is the leading worldwide manufacturer and supplier of cementation products. Weatherford designs, manufactures and sells liner hanger equipment and related services under the NodecoE trade name. Liner hanger equipment is used in the drilling and completion of oil and gas wells, primarily for the production casing string in deep, deviated or horizontal wells. Nodeco is a leading supplier of liner hanger equipment and packers used in completions with electric submersible pumps in the North Sea market, particularly the Norwegian and U.K. sectors. The Company has expanded this business, which was purchased in May 1996, to West Africa, Australia and the Middle East and intends to expand it into other geographic markets in the future. The Company manufactures, sells and services gas lift, plunger lift and related equipment under the McMurry-MaccoEname. Gas lift equipment is used to increase the flow of oil to the surface when natural flow does not occur. Weatherford designs, manufactures, sells and services hydraulic power tongs and related tubular handling equipment used to provide tubular running services; tubular connection testing equipment used to verify the integrity of connections; milling tools, cutters, spears, overshots and whipstocks used to provide 2 fishing and other downhole services; and weighted drill pipe used in its rental business and sold to customers. GAS COMPRESSION. Weatherford manufactures, packages, rents, sells and services gas compressor units used for increasing natural gas pressure to facilitate gas flow from the wellhead and through gas gathering systems and processing plants, injecting natural gas into oil wells to enhance oil recovery, injecting natural gas into gas storage wells and other general uses such as cogeneration, seismic marine surveys and natural gas fueling stations. The Company is a major manufacturer of gas compressors ranging in size from 26 horsepower to 7200 horsepower. As natural reservoir pressure declines over the life of a producing natural gas well, different compressor configurations may be needed to bring the gas to the surface and through the distribution system. Management believes that the Company is the largest gas compressor rental company in North America based on number of units and the fourth largest based on available horsepower. PATENTS AND LICENSES The Company has followed a policy of seeking U.S. and non-U.S. patents and licenses for products and equipment that appear to have commercial applications. The Company believes its patents and licenses to be adequate for the conduct of its businesses and, while it considers them to be valuable in the aggregate, the Company does not believe that its business is materially dependent on its patents or licenses. In management's opinion, engineering and production skills and application experience are more responsible for the Company's market position than are patents or licenses. SEASONALITY Demand for the Company's oilfield services and products is generally affected by the seasonality of drilling activity. Higher activity generally is experienced in the spring, summer and fall. In the United States and Europe, the lowest drilling activity generally occurs during the early months of the year due to inclement weather; however, in Alaska and Canada, activity generally slows in the spring and early summer due to difficulty in moving equipment during the spring thaws. Weather conditions are not a significant factor in other geographic areas in which the Company offers oilfield services and products. Weather is not necessarily a significant factor in the Company's gas compression segment, although increased demand for gas during the winter months depletes gas reserves, thereby generally increasing the demand for gas compression services. BACKLOG ORDERS At December 31, 1997, the Company's backlog of orders for products and equipment believed to be firm was approximately $60.8 million compared to approximately $94.2 million at December 31, 1996 ($45.9 million of which related to businesses the Company sold in 1997). Substantially all of such orders are expected to be filled in 1998. INTERNATIONAL AND U.S. OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES The Company has manufacturing operations, either through direct ownership (including joint ventures) or through license arrangements, in the United States, Germany, Norway, Canada, the Netherlands, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. The Company has product and equipment sales or service operations in virtually every significant oil and gas exploration and production region in the world. 3 The following table sets forth the Company's revenues, operating income (loss) and identifiable assets attributable to each of its geographic segments. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained elsewhere herein for additional information.

Canadian revenues declined 26% and operating income before acquisition-related costs and other unusual charges decreased 12% in 1996 compared to 1995, primarily as a result of lower gas compressor packaging revenues and the sale of certain Canadian manufacturing businesses in 1996, which more than offset improved oilfield service activity in Canada. Canadian compression revenues increased in 1997, and Canadian oilfield service activity continued to improve. Results for 1995 included acquisition-related costs and other unusual charges totaling $88.2 million (see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein), including $43.3 million in the United States, $2.9 million in Canada, $4.3 million in Europe, $0.6 million in Africa, $8.1 million in Other International and $29.0 million in the Corporate segment. The Company's international operations are subject to special considerations inherent in doing business outside the United States that may limit or disrupt markets, restrict the movement of funds or result in the deprivation of contract rights or the taking of property without fair compensation. Operations in certain areas, including the Commonwealth of Independent States (the "CIS"), Algeria and Nigeria, and parts of the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Latin America, have been subjected to political disruption or civil disturbances in the past twelve months. Generally, business interruptions resulting from war, political 4 disruptions or civil disturbances negatively impact near-term results of operations; however, management believes that it is unlikely that any specific business disruption caused by existing or foreseen civil or political instability will have a material adverse impact on the financial condition or liquidity of the Company. International operations also can be affected by U.S., local and international laws and regulations limiting or prohibiting exports to, and operations in, certain countries, including Iran, Iraq, Libya, Cuba and North Korea. Government-owned petroleum companies in some of the countries in which the Company operates have adopted policies (or are subject to governmental policies) giving preference to the purchase of goods and services from companies that are majority-owned by local nationals. As a result of such policies, the Company relies on joint ventures, license arrangements and other business combinations with local nationals in these countries. Political considerations may disrupt the commercial relationships between the Company and government-owned petroleum companies. COMPETITION OILFIELD SERVICES. The Company experiences significant price pressures in the markets in which it offers rental tools and downhole services, particularly in U.S. markets. The principal methods of competition that apply to the Company's rental tools and downhole services are price, quality, availability and reputation. Weatherford competes with Baker Hughes Incorporated and Smith International, Inc. in most of the downhole service markets in which it participates. In addition, the Company competes with numerous small, single-site operators, larger concerns operating at multiple locations and various well servicing companies engaged in such businesses. Also, many customers own and operate large inventories of equipment they might otherwise rent and have the ability to purchase additional equipment, as opposed to renting. The Company experiences significant competition and price pressures in the U.S. tubular running services market and has experienced increasing competition and price pressures in recent years in markets in which it operates outside the United States. The principal methods of competition that apply to the Company's tubular running services business are price, quality, reputation and range of services offered. Weatherford competes with Frank's Casing Crews in all of the U.S. markets and in some international markets in which the Company participates. In addition, the Company competes with BJ Services Company in several of the international markets in which the Company participates. Several other small to medium-sized companies compete with Weatherford on a regional basis in the United States and in certain other countries. Management expects competition and customer price pressures to continue in the foreseeable future in most international and U.S. markets. OILFIELD PRODUCTS. The Company faces significant competition in the pricing of its cementation products. Management of the Company believes that price will continue to be a significant factor considered in customer purchasing decisions in the foreseeable future. The principal methods of competition that apply to the Company's cementation products business are price, quality, availability and reputation. The Company primarily competes with Halliburton Company, Davis-Lynch Inc. and Top-Co Industries Ltd. in the cementation products business. With respect to liner hangers, competition in the Company's existing markets is primarily based on product design, reputation for quality, delivery response time and price. The Company contacts customers through an experienced sales force supported by an engineering and technical staff. This arrangement allows the Company to quickly respond to customer requests for customization or modification of products. The Company primarily competes with Baker Hughes Incorporated, TIW Corporation (owned by Pearce Industries) and Smith International, Inc. in the liner hanger business. In the Company's gas lift equipment business, the principal methods of competition are price, delivery response time, reputation and quality. The Company markets its gas lift product line primarily through an experienced sales force in the United States and through agents outside the United States. The Company competes with various companies worldwide, the largest of which is Camco International, Inc. 5 Weatherford has experienced competition in the pricing of virtually all of its other oilfield products. The Company competes with small to medium-sized companies as well as with larger companies and subsidiaries of large public companies having significant financial resources. GAS COMPRESSION. The Company has experienced competition in the pricing of its gas compression equipment and services. Management believes that price and delivery time will continue to be significant factors considered in customer purchasing and rental decisions in the foreseeable future. The principal methods of competition are price, delivery time, quality of equipment and service, reliability and reputation. The Company competes with Tidewater Inc., Hanover Compressors Company, Global Compression (owned by G.E. Capital), Dresser Rand, CSI, Production Operators (owned by Camco International, Inc.) and various small to medium-sized companies in the compressor rental business. The Company competes with Ariel and several other companies in the compressor manufacturing business. CUSTOMERS The Company had no customers that individually accounted for 10% or more of its 1997 consolidated revenues. EMPLOYEES At December 31, 1997, the Company employed 6,639 persons, of whom 3,285 were in international locations and 3,354 were in the United States. Of the 6,639 employees, 4,453 were employed in the oilfield services segment, 1,079 in the oilfield products segment, 939 in the gas compression segment, and 168 in administrative functions. The Company considers its employee relations to be satisfactory. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. The Company has numerous manufacturing facilities located in the United States and various other countries used for the manufacture of oilfield products and equipment, the principal of which are as follows:
OWNED (O) OR APPROXIMATE LEASED (L) -- LOCATION MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS SQUARE FEET EXPIRATION DATE - ------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- ----------- --------------- Houston, Texas....................... Power tongs, power units and accessories 117,500 O Pearland, Texas...................... Fishing tools, milling tools, cutters, 127,500 O overshots, whipstocks and weighted drill pipe Corpus Christi, Texas................ Gas compressors 90,000 O Houma, Louisiana.....................

Mechanical cementing products, power tongs, 65,950 L -- 12/99 power units and accessories, and specialized bucking machines Bryne, Norway........................ Liner hanger equipment 60,000 L -- 7/02
The Company believes that its manufacturing facilities will be suitable and adequate to meet production demands anticipated during the next several years. In addition to its manufacturing plants, the Company leases its corporate headquarters office and various administrative offices in Houston, Texas and leases or owns numerous sales offices, warehouses, service centers, pipe yards and stocking locations for its operations in the United States and internationally. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company paid real estate rentals in the aggregate amount of approximately $13.6 million. The Company's operations generally do not require highly specialized facilities, and suitable facilities generally are readily available on a lease or purchase basis, as required. 6 ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND REGULATORY MATTERS. The Company is not a party to, nor is any of its property the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business and which is believed to be either covered by insurance or not material in amount. Various federal, state and local laws and regulations covering the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the public health and the environment, affect the Company's operations, expenses and costs. The clear trend in environmental regulation has been to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may impact the environment, such as emissions of pollutants, generation and disposal of wastes, and use and handling of chemical substances. Increasingly strict environmental restrictions and limitations have resulted in increased operating costs for the Company and other similar businesses throughout the United States, and it is possible that the costs of compliance with environmental laws and regulations will continue to increase, both for the Company and its customers. In this regard, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), the principal federal statute governing the disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, includes a statutory exemption that allows oil and gas exploration and production wastes to be classified as non-hazardous waste. A similar exemption is contained in many of the state counterparts to RCRA. If oil and gas exploration and production wastes were required to be managed and disposed of as hazardous waste, either as a result of changes in RCRA or the imposition of more stringent state regulations, domestic oil and gas producers, including many of the Company's customers, could be required to incur substantial obligations with respect to such wastes. Because of the potential impact on the Company's customers, any regulatory changes that impose additional restrictions or requirements on the disposal of oil and gas wastes could adversely affect demand for the Company's services and products. In addition, the Company is subject to laws and regulations concerning occupational health and safety. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with the requirements of environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations, but inasmuch as such laws and regulations are frequently changed, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact of such laws and regulations on the Company's business. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. No matter was submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company during the quarter ended December 31, 1997. 7 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. The Company's Common Stock, $0.10 par value (the "Common Stock"), is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "WII". The following table sets forth, on a per share basis for the periods indicated, the high and low sale prices for the Common Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange.

Although the Company's management believes the assumptions are reasonable, there are certain risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company's business and there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to have been correct. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. BUSINESS REVIEW Weatherford is a diversified international energy service and manufacturing company that provides a variety of services and equipment to the exploration, production and transmission sectors of the oil and gas industry. The Company's principal industry segments are oilfield services, oilfield products and gas compression, with operations in virtually every oil and gas exploration and production region in the world. The oilfield services segment includes oilfield equipment rental, downhole services and tubular running services. The Company rents specialized pressure control equipment, drill string equipment, handling tools, stabilizers and other equipment and tools used in the drilling, completion and workover of oil and gas wells. Downhole services include fishing, milling, whipstock installation and retrieval, well control assistance, plugging and abandonment services, pipe recovery wireline services, foam services and internal casing patch installation. Tubular running services include "making up" threaded tubular connections, installing casing, tubing and other downhole tubulars, ensuring the mechanical integrity and leak-tight performance of tubular connections, inspection and cleaning of tubulars and related engineering services. The oilfield products segment includes the manufacture, sale and service of cementation products, liner hangers, gas lift equipment and equipment used to provide oilfield services. Cementation products include centralizers, float equipment, stage tools and elastomer products which are used in the process of cementing casing strings in oil and gas wells. Liner hanger equipment is used in the drilling and completion of oil and gas wells, primarily for the production casing in deep, deviated or horizontal wells. Gas lift equipment is used to inject gas in producing wells to enhance the flow of oil to the surface. Other manufactured products include hydraulic power tongs and related equipment used to provide tubular running services, milling tools, whipstocks and weighted drill pipe used in rental and downhole services and sold to customers. 10 The gas compression segment includes the manufacturing, packaging, renting, selling and providing of parts and services for gas compressor units over a broad horsepower range. Gas compressor units are used for increasing natural gas pressure to facilitate gas flow from the wellhead and through gas gathering systems and processing plants, to inject natural gas into oil wells for enhanced recovery and into gas storage wells, and in other general applications such as cogeneration, seismic marine surveys and natural gas fueling stations. The Company's operating results include several other businesses that the Company has sold through previously announced divestiture programs. Such businesses include the Harrisburg/Woolley division, which was sold in 1995; Barber Industries Limited, Enterra Patco Oilfield Products, Inc. and Arrow Completion Systems, Inc. ("Arrow"), each of which was sold in 1996; and CRC-Evans Pipeline International, Inc. ("CRC-Evans"), Total Engineering Services Team, Inc. ("TEST") and the American Aero Cranes division ("Cranes"), each of which was sold in 1997. The Company has grown significantly through acquisitions, having acquired more than 20 businesses since 1991. These acquisitions have allowed the Company to expand its product and service lines, improve its worldwide market position and realize significant consolidation cost savings. Management believes it has positioned the Company as a market leader in its primary businesses while significantly expanding and diversifying the Company's geographic operations. INDUSTRY CONDITIONS The oil and gas industry in which the Company participates historically has experienced significant volatility. Demand for the Company's oilfield services and products depends primarily upon the level of worldwide spending for oil and gas exploration and production, the number of oil and gas wells being drilled, the depth and drilling conditions of such wells, the volume of production, the number of well completions and the level of workover activity. Drilling and workover activity can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time, particularly in the United States and Canada. Average worldwide drilling activity, as measured by average drilling rig count reported by Baker Hughes Incorporated, increased 15% in 1997 to 2,126 active rigs compared to 1,841 active rigs in 1996. Average worldwide drilling activity increased 7% in 1996 compared to 1995. Drilling activity outside of North America increased 2% in 1997 and 5% in 1996 when compared to the prior year's average activity levels. U.S. drilling activity increased 21% in 1997 and 7% in 1996 when compared to the prior year's average activity levels. Canadian drilling activity increased 39% in 1997 and 17% in 1996 when compared to the prior year's average activity level. During the first two months of 1998, worldwide drilling activity was higher than during the same period of 1997. However, recent declines in oil prices have increased the level of uncertainty, and no assurance can be given as to the level of future drilling activity or demand for the Company's oilfield services and products. The willingness of oil and gas operators to make capital expenditures for the exploration and production of oil and natural gas will continue to be influenced by numerous factors over which the Company has no control, including the prevailing and expected market prices for oil and natural gas. Such prices are impacted by, among other factors, worldwide demand for oil and gas, general economic and political conditions, costs of exploration and production, availability of new leases and concessions, the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") to maintain price stability through voluntary production limits, the level of production by non-OPEC countries, and governmental regulations regarding, among other things, environmental protection, taxation, price controls and product allocations. Demand for the Company's gas compression equipment and services depends primarily on demand for natural gas, the level and stability of natural gas prices, natural gas production and consumption, the amount of natural gas in storage, construction of gathering and storage systems, and the age and operating pressures of natural gas wells. Demand for purchased compressor packages declined in 1996 from the 1994 and 1995 levels, resulting in a weakening of market prices. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1996 and extending through 1997, market conditions improved, resulting in higher demand for compressor packages and increased utilization of rental units. Another factor impacting the U.S. gas compression business is the trend of major oil companies toward outsourcing certain services and selling U.S. gas reserves to smaller 11 operators. The Company expects demand for larger horsepower rental units to increase as major oil companies and smaller natural gas producers are less likely to own and operate gas compressor packages and are more likely to rent compressor packages to meet their compression needs. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS A summary of operating results by industry segment is shown below: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------ 1997 1996 1995 ------------ ---------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS) REVENUES: Oilfield services............... $ 645,906 $ 520,195 $ 470,085 Oilfield products............... 182,311 149,713 115,399 Gas compression................. 178,896 154,503 94,386 Other businesses................ 76,852 170,057 179,037 ------------ ---------- ---------- $ 1,083,965 $ 994,468 $ 858,907 ============ ========== ========== ACQUISITION-RELATED COSTS AND OTHER UNUSUAL CHARGES: Oilfield services............... $ -- $ -- $ 31,715 Oilfield products............... -- -- 15,745 Gas compression................. -- -- -- Other businesses................ -- -- 11,711 Corporate....................... -- -- 29,011 ------------ ---------- ---------- $ -- $ -- $ 88,182 ============ ========== ========== OPERATING INCOME (LOSS): Oilfield services............... $ 152,668 $ 93,644 $ 41,849 Oilfield products............... 39,129 23,388 (13,253) Gas compression................. 13,723 7,833 7,788 Other businesses................ 440 8,849 2,010 Corporate....................... (12,878) (7,958) (38,212) ------------ ---------- ---------- $ 193,082 $ 125,756 $ 182 ============ ========== ========== OILFIELD SERVICES. Total oilfield services revenues increased 24% from $520.2 million in 1996 to $645.9 million in 1997, reflecting increased volume of activity and improved pricing resulting from a 15% increase in worldwide drilling activity, as reported by Baker Hughes Incorporated. The increased use of certain drilling techniques, such as re-entry, multi-lateral, horizontal and directional drilling, were also important contributors to revenue growth in 1997, particularly in North America. U.S. oilfield service revenues increased 33% to $317.7 million, while U.S. average rig count increased 21%. Revenues in Canada increased 29%, while average Canadian rig count increased 39%. Excluding Canada, international oilfield service revenues increased 15% compared to an average rig count increase of 2%. International revenue increases are primarily attributable to increased volume of rental and service activity, some pricing improvement and the introduction of downhole services into new markets. Operating income increased 63% from $93.6 million in 1996 to $152.7 million in 1997, primarily as a result of increased drilling activity, improved pricing and the introduction of downhole services into new markets. Revenues for the oilfield services segment increased 11% to $520.2 million in 1996 as compared to 1995. International revenues increased 15% to $281.3 million, while U.S. revenues increased 6% to $238.9 million. The increase in international service revenues is primarily attributable to increased activity in Canada, the North Sea, North and West Africa and Latin America. The increase in Canada is consistent with the 17% increase in the average drilling rig count over 1995. The average international drilling rig 12 count, excluding Canada, increased 5% over the prior year, which contributed to the increase in international service revenues. International revenues also benefited from the introduction of fishing and other downhole services into certain markets in North and West Africa and Latin America in 1996. U.S. service revenues were positively impacted by an increase in the average 1996 U.S. drilling rig count of 7% over 1995, as well as price increases announced by the Company in August 1996 affecting most U.S. services and rentals. Excluding the impact of the acquisition-related costs and other unusual charges in 1995 discussed below, operating income for oilfield services increased 27% to $93.6 million in 1996 as compared to 1995. This increase is attributable to the increase in revenues experienced in 1996, along with cost savings achieved from the higher levels of activity and from efficiencies resulting from consolidating the operations of the Company. These increases were partially offset by additional costs incurred to introduce fishing and other downhole services into the markets discussed above. OILFIELD PRODUCTS. Oilfield products revenues increased 22% to $182.3 million in 1997 compared to $149.7 million in 1996. Cementation product sales increased 32% over 1996, primarily reflecting increased U.S. drilling activity, increased market share and the introduction of new products. Liner hanger sales and service revenues increased 66% in 1997 over 1996, which included the results of Nodeco AS and Aarbakke AS (collectively, "Nodeco") from the date they were acquired in May 1996. Gas lift product sales and service revenues remained consistent with 1996 levels. Oilfield products operating income increased $15.7 million, or 67%, from 1996 to 1997, primarily as a result of the increased volume of cementation product sales, operating efficiencies and the inclusion of the Nodeco operations for the full year of 1997. Revenues increased 30% to $149.7 million in 1996 compared to 1995, reflecting improved operating results from all manufacturing businesses. The Company acquired the business and assets of Nodeco, a Norwegian liner hanger manufacturer, in May 1996. The Nodeco operations contributed $18.4 million, or 16%, to the revenue increase. Cementation product sales improved significantly over the prior year due to an increase in market share and the higher levels of drilling activity worldwide. Excluding the impact of the acquisition-related costs and other unusual charges discussed below, operating income increased over 800% to $23.4 million compared to 1995. Approximately $4.0 million of the increase in operating income is attributable to the Nodeco operations. The remaining increase is due to the increase in revenues, combined with manufacturing efficiencies achieved as a result of the higher volume of product sales. GAS COMPRESSION. Revenues increased 16% to $178.9 million in 1997, compared to $154.5 million in 1996. Manufacturing and packaging revenues increased 21% to $78.2 million in 1997 compared to 1996, primarily as a result of a higher volume of packaged unit sales in Canada. Compressor rental and service revenues improved 12% to $100.7 million compared to 1996, reflecting the expansion and increased utilization of the Company's compressor rental fleet, which comprised over 440,000 horsepower at December 31, 1997. Operating income for the gas compression segment improved 75% to $13.7 million in 1997, primarily as a result of the increased revenues and ongoing process improvements. Revenues increased 64% to $154.5 million in 1996 as compared to 1995, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the natural gas compression business and assets of Energy Industries, Inc. and Zapata Energy Industries, L.P. (collectively, "Energy Industries") in December 1995. This increase was offset by a weaker market for sales of gas compressor packages, which resulted in a lower volume of manufacturing and packaging sales as well as lower prices for packaged compressors. Operating income increased only slightly over 1995 due to the weaker market, inefficiencies incurred in consolidating the packaging operations of Energy Industries into the Company's existing gas compression business, and amortization of goodwill arising from the Energy Industries acquisition. OTHER BUSINESSES. Revenues decreased from $170.1 million in 1996 to $76.9 million in 1997, due to the sale of these businesses during 1996 and 1997. Arrow was sold in December 1996, CRC-Evans and TEST were sold in June 1997 and Cranes was sold in September 1997. Operating income from other businesses decreased from $8.8 million in 1996 to $0.4 million in 1997, reflecting the sale of these businesses throughout the period and the net losses associated with these sales. Revenues decreased 5% to $170.1 million in 1996 as compared to 1995, primarily as a result of businesses which were sold in late 1995 and early 1996. This decrease was offset by higher revenues for 13 TEST and Cranes. TEST revenues improved primarily as a result of increased activity in the Gulf of Mexico, while revenues for Cranes increased in relation to the higher level of drilling activity, which resulted in new crane sales, service and rental contracts worldwide. Operating income excluding the impact of the acquisition-related costs and other unusual charges discussed below decreased 36% to $8.8 million in 1996 compared to 1995, due primarily to the impact of the sold businesses. The higher revenues for TEST and Cranes did not significantly impact operating income due to higher levels of costs incurred in 1996. GROSS PROFIT. The consolidated gross profit percentage was 33.0% in 1997 compared to 28.2% in 1996 and 27.2% in 1995. The increase in 1997 is the result of continued improved profitability in all segments of the Company's business, primarily resulting from improved pricing and volume of worldwide service activity. The increase in 1996 compared to 1995 is due primarily to improved profitability in U.S. oilfield services and oilfield products segments as a result of consolidation cost savings, improved pricing in certain areas and increased volume of activity. Compression margins were lower in 1996 than in 1995 due to the weak Canadian market and consolidation costs discussed above. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue declined to 12.9% in 1997 from 14.1% in 1996 and 16.1% in 1995. These decreases are a result of increased revenues combined with operational efficiencies achieved in consolidating the operations of acquired businesses into the Company. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development costs of $7.8 million in 1997 increased 9% over 1996, and research and development costs of $7.2 million in 1996 increased 44% compared to 1995. The increases primarily reflect the expansion of the Company's operations and the development of new products and service equipment designs to support the oilfield products and services businesses. EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES. The Company owns an interest of 50% or less in several joint ventures, primarily in the oilfield services segment. The Company's equity in the earnings of these affiliates was $2.6 million in 1997 compared to $2.1 million in 1996 and $1.5 million in 1995. These increases are primarily attributable to increased drilling activity in Saudi Arabia. The Company received cash dividends from its 50% or less-owned affiliates totaling $1.3 million, $1.6 million and $1.7 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. FOREIGN CURRENCY LOSS (GAIN), NET. As a result of the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar against the major foreign currencies in which the Company conducts business, the Company recorded net foreign currency losses of $1.8 million in 1997 compared to gains of $49,000 and $74,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The net loss recorded in 1997 primarily resulted from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against European, Asian and Latin American currencies. OTHER EXPENSE, NET. Other expense, net, increased to $17.1 million compared to $8.7 million in 1996 and $3.8 million in 1995. The increase in 1997 was attributable to several factors, including net losses related to the sales of non-core businesses, additional goodwill amortization associated with the Nodeco acquisition, and adjustments to prior year estimates. The increase in 1996 is primarily related to the amortization of goodwill related to the acquisitions of Energy Industries and Nodeco. ACQUISITION-RELATED COSTS AND OTHER UNUSUAL CHARGES. During the second quarter of 1995, Enterra recorded unusual charges totaling $28.3 million, representing writedowns to fair value of certain businesses to be disposed of, asset writedowns related to certain excess facilities, equipment and inventories, and estimated costs in connection with the closure of certain pipeline businesses and the consolidation of certain oilfield service administrative and operating facilities. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company recorded expenses of $59.9 million related to the Enterra merger and the financial impact of management decisions related to the future operations of the combined companies. These acquisition-related costs primarily consisted of transaction costs, severance and termination agreements with former officers and employees, facility closure costs primarily to consolidate the oilfield services operations and administrative functions of Enterra and the Company, and the reduction in recorded value of certain assets that had diminished future value in the operations of the combined company. 14 INTEREST. Net interest expense decreased to $17.5 million in 1997 compared to $20.9 million in 1996, primarily as a result of the repayment of indebtedness with cash provided from operations and from the sale of non-core businesses. Net interest expense increased to $20.9 million in 1996 compared to $15.1 million in 1995, primarily as a result of higher average debt balances outstanding. The increased indebtedness primarily related to the acquisitions of Nodeco in May 1996 and Energy Industries in December 1995. INCOME TAXES. The income tax provision (benefit) consists of taxes on foreign earnings, foreign taxes withheld on certain remittances from international subsidiaries, U.S. federal and state taxes, the recognition of general business tax credits currently available to reduce U.S. federal income tax, and the recognition of future taxable amounts. Income tax provision (benefit) as a percentage of income (loss) before income taxes was 36%, 33% and 29% for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rates was primarily a result of differences in the components and tax rates applicable to foreign taxable income, the reversal of the valuation allowance on U.S. net operating loss carryforwards in 1995 and nondeductible goodwill amortization. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and financial statement display of comprehensive income. SFAS No. 130 is effective January 1, 1998. Had SFAS No. 130 been adopted in 1997, the year-to-date change in cumulative translation adjustment would have been added to net income to calculate comprehensive income. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which requires segment information to be reported on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating resource allocation and segment performance. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 131 in 1998 and is currently evaluating its method of reporting segment information. In 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employees' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits", which standardizes disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 132 in 1998. Had the Company adopted SFAS No. 132 at December 31, 1997, it would have had no impact on the consolidated financial statements. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's operations provided cash of $166.7 million during 1997 compared to $128.7 million during 1996 and $78.9 million during 1995. Operating cash flow before changes in working capital accounts increased 25% to $215.5 million in 1997 compared to 1996, and 45% to $172.5 million in 1996 compared to 1995, reflecting the impact of acquisitions and growth in the Company's operations. Changes in working capital and other operating accounts used cash of $48.7 million in 1997 compared to $43.9 million in 1996 and $39.8 million during 1995. Working capital of $312.5 million at December 31, 1997 increased 6% compared to December 31, 1996, primarily due to the growth experienced in the Company's operations. On March 4, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") providing for the merger of the Company into EVI, Inc. ("EVI"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Weatherford stockholders will receive 0.95 of a share of EVI common stock for each share of Weatherford Common Stock. The transaction, which is expected to be accounted for as a pooling of interests and to result in no immediate federal income tax recognition for the Company's stockholders, is subject to the approval of the stockholders of each of EVI and Weatherford as well as customary regulatory approvals and other conditions to closing. The transaction is currently expected to close in late spring or early summer of 1998. There can be no assurance that this Merger will be consummated. During 1997, the Company completed the sales of CRC-Evans, TEST and Cranes, generating aggregate cash proceeds of $68.8 million, as part of a divestiture plan announced in September 1996. Proceeds were used primarily to repay bank debt. 15 On May 23, 1996, the Company acquired the business and assets of Nodeco in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. The Company paid cash of $14.4 million net of cash acquired, issued 750,000 shares of Common Stock and assumed all liabilities of Nodeco, totaling approximately $12.1 million. On December 15, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Energy Industries in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. The Company paid approximately $130.0 million in cash and assumed certain liabilities totaling approximately $12.5 million. On October 5, 1995, the Company completed a merger with Enterra, which was accounted for as a pooling of interests. The Company issued approximately 23.7 million shares of Common Stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of Enterra common stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.845 of a share of Common Stock for each share of Enterra common stock outstanding. In connection with the Enterra merger, the Company recorded acquisition-related costs totaling $59.9 million. Capital expenditures, excluding business acquisitions and net of proceeds from sales of assets in the normal course of business, declined 4% to $123.0 million in 1997 compared to 1996. Net capital expenditures increased 62% in 1996 to $128.4 million compared to 1995, primarily as a result of the Company's expanded gas compression business, the increase in industry activity worldwide and the introduction of certain oilfield services businesses into new areas in 1996. Management anticipates that the Company's future capital spending levels will continue to be influenced by market opportunities and growth in the Company's operations. The Company's consolidated indebtedness decreased to $211.9 million at December 31, 1997 from $315.8 million at December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of the repayment of debt with cash provided by operations and with proceeds from the divestitures mentioned above. The Company's ratio of debt to total capitalization was 18% at December 31, 1997 compared to 27% at December 31, 1996. The Company has outstanding $200 million of publicly-held 7 1/4% notes due May 15, 2006 (the "7 1/4% Notes"). Interest on the 7 1/4% Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year. On October 24, 1997, the Company amended its primary bank credit facility, extending its $200 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") through October 24, 2002, reducing interest rates and fees and improving other terms and conditions. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a variable rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.625% above a specified Eurodollar rate, depending on the credit ratings assigned to the 7 1/4% Notes. A commitment fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.20% per annum, depending on the credit ratings assigned to the 7 1/4% Notes, is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is required under the Revolving Credit Facility to maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 50%. At December 31, 1997, the Company had $200 million available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company also has various credit facilities available only for stand-by letters of credit and bid and performance bonds, pursuant to which funds are available to the Company to secure performance obligations and certain retrospective premium adjustments under insurance policies. The Company had a total of $13.0 million of letters of credit and bid and performance bonds outstanding at December 31, 1997. The Company has developed a plan to ensure that its systems are compliant with the requirements to process transactions in the year 2000. Management believes that the Company will achieve year 2000 compliance through a combination of upgrading to new releases of existing software and replacement of existing software with new fully compliant systems by mid-1999. Management believes that the expenses and capital expenditures associated with achieving year 2000 compliance will not have a materially adverse impact on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. The Company is currently gathering information from its key suppliers, venders and financial institutions regarding year 2000 compliance. The inability of these key outside parties to achieve year 2000 compliance could have a material impact on the Company's operations. The Company conducts a portion of its business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including the Canadian dollar, major European currencies and certain Latin American currencies. Although most of the revenues of the Company's foreign operations are denominated in the local currency, the effects of foreign 16 currency fluctuations are largely mitigated because local expenses of such foreign operations also generally are denominated in the same currency. Changes in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to these foreign currencies affect the weighted average currency exchange rates used to translate the statements of income of the Company's international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations during 1997, 1996 and 1995 did not have a material effect on reported amounts of revenues or net income. The increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against most major currencies during 1997 caused the cumulative translation adjustment, a reduction in stockholders' equity, to increase by $21.0 million. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts only as a hedge against certain existing economic exposures, and not for speculative or trading purposes. These contracts reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, such exposure resulting primarily from trade receivables and payables and intercompany loans. The future value of these contracts and the related currency positions are subject to offsetting market risk resulting from foreign currency exchange rate volatility. Settlement of forward exchange contracts resulted in net cash inflows totaling $5.2 million in 1997 and $1.1 million in 1996 and a net cash outflow of $2.7 million in 1995. Management believes the combination of working capital, the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and cash flows from operations provide the Company with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to manage its normal operations. The Company continues to seek opportunities to enhance its competitiveness through strategic acquisitions. Management believes that any borrowings made in connection with any such acquisitions will not have a materially adverse impact on the Company's liquidity. Management believes that it is premature to provide specific information with respect to any such possible acquisitions because of the status of, and possible adverse impact on, negotiations, and because, in any event, there can be no assurance that any of such possible acquisitions will be consummated. Like most multinational oilfield service companies, the Company has operations in certain international areas, including parts of the Middle East, North and West Africa, Latin America, the Asia-Pacific Region and the Commonwealth of Independent States (the "CIS"), that are inherently subject to risks of war, political disruption, civil disturbance and policies that may disrupt oil and gas exploration and production activities, restrict the movement of funds, lead to U.S. government or international sanctions or limit access to markets for periods of time. Historically, the economic impact of such disruptions has been temporary and oil and gas exploration and production activities have eventually resumed in relation to market forces. Certain areas, including the CIS, Algeria and Nigeria and parts of the Middle East, the Asia Pacific region and Latin America, have been subjected to political disruption or civil disturbances in the past twelve months. Generally, business interruptions resulting from war, political disruptions or civil disturbances negatively impact near-term results of operations; however, management believes that it is unlikely that any specific business disruption caused by existing or foreseen civil or political instability will have a materially adverse impact on the financial condition or liquidity of the Company. The Company has not declared dividends on Common Stock since December 1982 and management does not anticipate paying dividends on Common Stock at any time in the foreseeable future. 17 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To Weatherford Enterra, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Weatherford Enterra, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Weatherford Enterra, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP Houston, Texas March 11, 1998 18 WEATHERFORD ENTERRA, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Weatherford Enterra, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Weatherford") after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company accounts for its 50% or less-owned affiliates using the equity method. Weatherford is a diversified international energy service and manufacturing company that provides a variety of services and equipment to the exploration, production and transmission sectors of the oil and gas industry. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While actual results could differ from these estimates, management believes that the estimates are reasonable. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The reported value of all financial instruments approximates market value. Prepayments and other current assets at December 31, 1997 and 1996 included cash of approximately $3,436,000 and $1,656,000, respectively, which was restricted as a result of exchange controls in certain foreign countries or cash collateral requirements for performance bonds, letters of credit and customs bonds. INVENTORIES. Inventories, net of allowances, are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out or average) or market and are summarized as follows (in thousands): 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- Spare parts and components........... $ 56,686 $ 41,068 Raw materials........................ 29,920 28,734 Work in process...................... 19,904 26,902 Finished goods....................... 62,538 66,598 ---------- ---------- $ 169,048 $ 163,302 ========== ========== Work in process and finished goods inventories include the costs of materials, labor and plant overhead. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. Property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of assets are as follows: Buildings and improvements........... 5-45 years Rental and service equipment......... 3-15 years Machinery and other equipment........ 3-15 years Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of income. The Company evaluates potential impairment of property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets on an ongoing basis as necessary whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. GOODWILL. Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate price paid by the Company in acquisitions accounted for as purchases over the fair market value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis generally over a period of 40 years. The Company evaluates potential impairment of goodwill on an ongoing basis as necessary whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Goodwill amortization expense totaled $7,713,000, $7,044,000 23 WEATHERFORD ENTERRA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) and $5,852,000 during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $22,536,000 and $14,199,000, respectively. INCOME TAXES. The Company applies the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. The Company does not provide federal income taxes on the undistributed earnings of certain of its foreign subsidiaries because it believes these amounts are permanently invested outside the United States. The cumulative amount of such undistributed earnings on which federal taxes have not been provided was $173,502,000 at December 31, 1997. If these foreign earnings were to be ultimately remitted, certain foreign withholding taxes would be payable and U.S. federal income taxes payable at that time would be reduced by foreign tax credits generated by the repatriation. ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES. Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing business activities are expensed or capitalized, in accordance with the Company's capitalization policy. Expenditures that relate to the remediation of an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenues, are expensed. Liabilities for these expenditures are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Estimates are based on currently available facts and technology, presently enacted laws and regulations and the Company's prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites. Liabilities included $5,203,000 and $10,263,000 of accrued environmental expenditures at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The functional currency for most of the Company's international operations is the applicable local currency. The translation of the foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted average exchange rate for the period. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of income. FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS. The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts only as a hedge against certain existing economic exposures, and not for speculative or trading purposes. These contracts reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, such exposure resulting primarily from trade receivables and payables and intercompany loans. The future value of these contracts and the related currency positions are subject to offsetting market risk resulting from foreign currency exchange rate volatility. The counterparties to the Company's foreign exchange contracts are creditworthy multinational commercial banks. Management believes that the risk of counterparty nonperformance is immaterial. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had contracts maturing within the next 60 days to sell $36,802,000 and $50,942,000, respectively, in Norwegian kroner, U.K. pounds sterling, Canadian dollars and Dutch guilders. Had such respective contracts matured on December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company's required cash outlay would have been minimal. REVENUE RECOGNITION. Revenues are generally recognized when services and rentals are provided and when products and equipment are shipped. Proceeds from customers for the cost of oilfield rental equipment that is damaged or lost downhole are reflected as revenues. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE. In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Accordingly, the Company's reported per share results for prior periods have been restated. Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share for 1997 and 1996 also assume the 24 WEATHERFORD ENTERRA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) exercise of employee stock options under the treasury stock method. Stock options are not included in the 1995 computation because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per common share computations follows (in thousands except per share amounts): PER SHARE NET INCOME SHARES AMOUNT ---------- --------- --------- 1997: Basic earnings per common share........................... $112,900 52,430 $ 2.15 ========= Employee stock options.......... -- 407 ---------- --------- Diluted earnings per common share........................... $112,900 52,837 $ 2.14 ========== ========= ========= 1996: Basic earnings per common share........................... $ 70,073 51,722 $ 1.35 ========= Employee stock options.......... -- 375 ---------- --------- Diluted earnings per common share........................... $ 70,073 52,097 $ 1.35 ========== ========= ========= 1995: Basic and diluted loss per common share.................... $(10,558) 50,681 $ (0.21) ========== ========= ========= CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK. The Company grants credit to its customers, which are primarily in the oil and gas industry. Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across many different countries. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains an allowance for anticipated losses (see Note 10). STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's Common Stock at the date of grant over the option exercise price (see Note 5). NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and financial statement display of comprehensive income. SFAS No. 130 is effective January 1, 1998. Had SFAS No. 130 been adopted in 1997, the year-to-date change in cumulative translation adjustment would have been added to net income to calculate comprehensive income. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which requires segment information to be reported on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating resource allocation and segment performance. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 131 in 1998 and is currently evaluating its method of reporting segment information. In 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits", which standardizes disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 132 in 1998. Had the Company adopted SFAS No. 132 at December 31, 1997, it would have had no impact on the consolidated financial statements. 25 WEATHERFORD ENTERRA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain reclassifications were made to previously reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes to make them consistent with the current presentation. (2) ACQUISITIONS, MERGERS AND DIVESTITURES Results of operations for business combinations accounted for as purchases are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. With respect to business combinations accounted for as poolings of interests, the consolidated financial statements have been restated for all periods presented as if the companies had been combined since inception. NODECO. On May 23, 1996, the Company acquired the business and assets of Nodeco AS, a Norwegian company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aarbakke AS (collectively, "Nodeco"), in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. Nodeco designs, manufactures, sells and rents oil and gas well completion products primarily consisting of liner hanger equipment and related services, as well as pump packers. The Company paid cash of $14,393,000 net of cash acquired, issued 750,000 shares of its Common Stock and assumed all liabilities of Nodeco, totaling $12,109,000. ENERGY INDUSTRIES. On December 15, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the natural gas compression business of Energy Industries, Inc. and Zapata Energy Industries, L.P. (collectively, "Energy Industries") in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. Energy Industries was engaged in the business of fabricating, selling, installing, renting and servicing natural gas compressor units used in the oil and gas industry. The Company paid approximately $130,000,000 in cash and assumed certain liabilities totaling approximately $12,485,000. ENTERRA. On October 5, 1995, the Company completed a merger with Enterra Corporation ("Enterra"), a worldwide provider of specialized services and products to the oil and gas industry through its oilfield, pipeline and gas compression services businesses. The Company issued approximately 23,668,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of Enterra common stock. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests. In connection with the Enterra merger, the Company recorded acquisition-related costs totaling $59,900,000 (see Note 8). OTHER ACQUISITIONS. During 1996 and 1995, the Company acquired several businesses in addition to those mentioned above in transactions accounted for as purchases. The impact of these acquisitions on reported results of operations, on a pro forma basis, was not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations. DIVESTITURES. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company sold certain non-core businesses which did not fit into the long-term strategy of the Company. Such businesses included CRC-Evans Pipeline International, Inc., Arrow Completion Systems, Inc., Total Engineering Services Team, Inc. and several others (see Note 9). Cash proceeds from these transactions totaled $68,798,000, $40,481,000 and $9,493,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and were primarily used to repay bank debt. 26 WEATHERFORD ENTERRA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (3) DEBT Debt consisted of the following (in thousands): 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- 7 1/4% Notes......................... $ 200,000 $ 200,000 Bank term loan....................... -- 95,950 Foreign bank debt, denominated in foreign currencies................. 8,152 11,231 Other indebtedness................... 3,795 8,593 ---------- ---------- 211,947 315,774 Less -- Amounts due within one year............................... 2,823 24,508 ---------- ---------- $ 209,124 $ 291,266 ========== ========== The Company has outstanding $200,000,000 of 7 1/4% notes due May 15, 2006 (the "7 1/4% Notes"). Interest on the 7 1/4% Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year. On October 24, 1997, the Company amended its primary bank credit facility, extending its $200,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") through October 24, 2002, reducing interest rates and fees and improving other terms and conditions. The balance outstanding under the bank term loan was repaid earlier in 1997. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a variable rate, ranging from 0.25% to 0.625% above a specified Eurodollar rate, depending on the credit ratings assigned to the 7 1/4% Notes. A commitment fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.20% per annum, depending on the credit ratings assigned to the 7 1/4% Notes, is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is required under the Revolving Credit Facility to maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 50%. Maturities of the Company's debt at December 31, 1997 were as follows (in thousands): 1998.................................... $ 2,823 1999.................................... 6,525 2000.................................... 579 2001.................................... 647 2002.................................... 682 Thereafter.............................. 200,691 ---------- $ 211,947 ========== At December 31, 1997, the Company had $200,000,000 available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility.

(5) COMMON STOCK AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS COMMON STOCK. In December 1997, the Board of Directors instituted a stock repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $100,000,000 of Common Stock from time to time in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions. Pursuant to this program, the Company purchased 289,200 shares of Common Stock in December 1997 at an average cost of $41.01 per share. During the two-month period ended February 28, 1998, the Company purchased 1,040,300 shares of Common Stock at an average cost of $35.98 per share. STOCK OPTION PLANS. The Company has a number of stock option plans pursuant to which officers and other key employees may be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock at fair market value. Options generally become exercisable in three annual installments, commencing one year after the date of grant. Unexercised options expire ten years after the date of grant. In addition, the Company has a Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Option Plan") pursuant to which each non-employee director receives upon initial election as a director an option to purchase 2,500 shares and, at each annual meeting thereafter, an additional option to purchase 2,000 shares of Common Stock, in each case at fair market value. Options granted under the Director Option Plan become exercisable six months after the date of grant, and unexercised options expire ten years after the date of grant. Enterra had a similar plan, pursuant to which directors of Enterra received immediately exercisable options to purchase shares of Enterra common stock at fair market value. All outstanding options under the Enterra director plan were exercised prior to the Enterra merger. 29 WEATHERFORD ENTERRA, INC.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 1997:
OPTIONS OUTSTANDING OPTIONS EXERCISABLE ------------------------------------------ -------------------------- AVERAGE WEIGHTED WEIGHTED RANGE OF NUMBER REMAINING AVERAGE NUMBER AVERAGE EXERCISE PRICES OUTSTANDING LIFE PRICE EXERCISABLE PRICE - ------------------------------------- ----------- --------- -------- ----------- -------- $ 6.75 to $15.75 110,185 4.4 years $13.14 108,767 $13.16 17.50 to 19.75 190,924 6.8 years 18.97 148,461 19.10 21.30 to 30.63 353,893 8.0 years 28.99 20,266 23.04 30.75 to 31.56 396,862 8.6 years 31.37 78,828 32.15 ----------- ----------- $ 6.75 to $31.56 1,051,864 7.6 years $26.41 356,322 $20.40 =========== ===========
The weighted average fair values of options granted during 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $12.96, $14.46 and $8.53 per share, respectively. The fair values were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively: expected volatility of 42%, 50% and 52% (38% for options issued by Enterra prior to the merger), risk free interest rates of 6.07%, 5.13% and 6.85% (7% for options issued by Enterra prior to the merger), expected lives of four years and zero dividend yield. If the fair value-based method of accounting under SFAS No. 123 had been applied, the Company's pro forma net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share would have been, respectively, $110,765,000 and $2.10 in 1997, $68,412,000 and $1.31 in 1996 and $(11,926,000) and $(0.23) in 1995. As the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 are not applicable to options granted prior to 1995, the pro forma effects for 1997, 1996 and 1995 are not indicative of the pro forma effects in future years. In addition to the options in the above table, the Company granted options to purchase 84,500, 45,337 and 34,200 shares of Common Stock in 1995, 1994 and 1991, respectively, to former directors and former 30 WEATHERFORD ENTERRA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) employees of acquired companies and to a former officer of the Company. These options were granted pursuant to separate agreements and are not covered by an option plan. Exercises of such options totaled 22,816, 16,483 and 40,334 shares in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and 67,600 of such options were outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 1997 at a weighted average exercise price of $25.75 per share. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS PLAN. The Company has a stock appreciation rights plan (the "SAR Plan") pursuant to which certain officers and other key employees were granted stock appreciation units ("SARs"). The SAR Plan was amended in 1992 to provide that no additional grants would be made. SARs were awarded in connection with stock options granted under one of the Company's stock option plans and can be exercised only if the related stock option is exercised. Compensation expense is recorded based on the increase in the market price of the Company's Common Stock since the date of grant. At December 31, 1997, there were 15,543 SARs outstanding, all of which were vested, at an average price of $10.41 per SAR. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company recognized compensation expense of $700,000, $225,000 and $121,000, respectively, in connection with SARs. STOCK BONUS PLAN. The Company has a stock bonus plan (the "Bonus Plan"), pursuant to which officers and certain other key employees of the Company may be granted shares of Common Stock. The market value of shares granted under the Bonus Plan is recorded as compensation expense on the date of grant. With respect to the Bonus Plan, the Company granted 2,485 and 21,391 shares in 1997 and 1996, respectively, and recognized compensation expense of $110,000 and $675,000 during 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company granted no shares under the Bonus Plan in 1995. There were 1,303 shares available for future grants under the Bonus Plan at December 31, 1997. RESTRICTED STOCK PLANS. The Company has a restricted stock plan for certain officers of the Company (the "Restricted Plan") and a restricted stock plan for non-employee directors (the "Director Restricted Plan"; collectively, the "Restricted Stock Plans"), pursuant to which shares of Common Stock may be granted. Shares granted under the Restricted Stock Plans are subject to certain restrictions on ownership and transferability when granted. Restrictions applicable to shares granted under the Restricted Plan lapse in part based on continued employment and in part based on Company performance. Restrictions applicable to shares granted under the Director Restricted Plan lapse in three equal annual installments, commencing one year after the date of grant. The compensation related to the restricted stock grants is deferred and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the period of time the restrictions are in place, and the unamortized 31 WEATHERFORD ENTERRA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) portion is classified as a reduction of paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has an employee stock purchase plan (the "ESPP"), pursuant to which eligible employees can purchase shares of Common Stock through payroll deductions. The Company matches a specified percentage of the employee contributions made to the ESPP. Company matching contributions to the ESPP totaled $162,000, $88,000 and $48,000 during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. There were 51,015 shares available for future purchases under the ESPP at December 31, 1997. (6) RETIREMENT AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company has defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans covering substantially all U.S. employees and certain international employees. Plan benefits are generally based on years of service and average compensation levels. The Company's funding policy is to contribute, at a minimum, the annual amount required under applicable governmental regulations. With respect to certain international plans, the Company has purchased irrevocable annuity contracts to settle certain benefit obligations. Plan assets are invested primarily in equity and fixed income mutual funds. 32 WEATHERFORD ENTERRA, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The Company is involved in certain claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the likelihood that uninsured losses, if any, resulting from the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company is remote. (8) ACQUISITION-RELATED COSTS AND OTHER UNUSUAL CHARGES During the second quarter of 1995, management of Enterra made certain strategic decisions which resulted in $28,282,000 of unusual charges. Such charges included a $10,041,000 writedown to fair value, based on management's estimation of net sales price, related to three businesses to be sold. The remaining second quarter unusual charges of $18,241,000 consisted primarily of asset writedowns related to certain excess facilities, equipment and inventories, as well as estimated costs in connection with the closure of certain pipeline businesses and the consolidation of certain oilfield service administrative and operating facilities. This restructuring resulted in reductions of approximately 120 employees. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company recorded expenses of $59,900,000 related to the merger with Enterra and the financial impact of management decisions related to the future operations of the combined company. The acquisition-related costs primarily consisted of transaction costs, severance and termination agreements with former officers and employees, facility closure costs primarily to consolidate the oilfield service operations and administrative functions (reducing approximately 600 employees), and the reduction in recorded value of certain assets that had diminished future value in the operations of the combined company. A summary of the 1995 acquisition-related costs and other unusual charges follows (in thousands): Enterra merger transaction-related costs................................ $ 18,800 Severance and termination costs...... 12,488 Facility closure and consolidation costs................................ 20,943 Writedowns of assets to be sold...... 12,281 Other asset writedowns............... 21,972 Other................................ 1,698 --------- $ 88,182 ========= (9) SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company is a diversified international energy service and manufacturing company that provides a variety of services and equipment to the exploration, production and transmission sectors of the oil and gas industry. The Company operates in three industry segments -- oilfield services, oilfield products and gas compression. During 1996 and 1995, management of the Company made strategic decisions to dispose of certain non-core businesses, which are presented separately and described as "Other Businesses" (see Note 2). Revenues by industry segment and geographic area include both revenues from unaffiliated customers and intersegment revenues from related companies. The price at which intercompany sales are made is generally based on the selling price to unaffiliated customers less a discount or the direct product cost plus a mark-up. Indirect expenses have been allocated to industry segments in proportion to outside revenues. 34 WEATHERFORD ENTERRA, INC.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Compensation and Stock Plans Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Compensation Committee"), which is composed of four independent outside directors, is responsible for setting policies with respect to compensation of the Company's executive officers. COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OVERALL OBJECTIVES OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM. The Company's executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain the executives needed to improve the Company's performance and maximize stockholder value. Toward that end, the Compensation Committee attempts to provide the Company's executives with a total target compensation package (which includes base salary, annual incentive bonus, and long-term, equity-based incentive compensation and other executive benefits) that, at expected levels of corporate performance, is competitive with packages provided to executives of companies similar to the Company who hold comparable positions or have similar qualifications. The Compensation Committee determines competitive levels of compensation for executive positions based on information obtained from published/private compensation surveys for companies with annual revenues of approximately $1 billion (general industry), proxy statements for a group of competitor companies approved by the Compensation Committee (the "compensation peer group") and recommendations of an independent compensation consultant retained by the Company. Although some of the same companies are included in both groups, the compensation peer group is not the same as the group of companies comprising the Peer Group used in the Performance Graph included later in this Report. In selecting the companies to survey for compensation purposes, the Compensation Committee focuses primarily on companies with U.S. and international business operations; similar revenues, market capitalization, employment levels and lines of business; and a management style and corporate culture similar to that of the Company. 41 The Company's pay-for-performance philosophy has resulted in compensation packages that consist in large part of variable, performance-based components, such as bonuses and stock-based awards, which can increase or decrease to reflect changes in corporate or individual performance. Target total direct compensation (which includes base salary, annual incentive bonus and long-term incentive compensation) is overall competitive when compared with the market 63rd percentile based on general industry data; this information is not available for the compensation peer group. Actual total direct compensation is overall competitive when compared with the market 63rd percentile based on general industry data and on average is below the market median (50th percentile) for the compensation peer group. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM COMPONENTS. The Company uses cash and equity-based compensation to achieve its pay-for-performance philosophy and to reward short-term and long-term performance. The mix of base salary, annual incentives and long-term incentives is reviewed periodically to ensure the approximate mix. BASE SALARY. The Compensation Committee's philosophy is to control fixed compensation costs and to place greater emphasis on incentive compensation based on results. The Company's 1997 base salaries are on average competitive when compared to the market median based on general industry data and compensation peer group data. Salaries for executives are reviewed periodically (not more often than annually, unless the executive has had a change in duties and responsibilities) and revised, if appropriate, based on a variety of factors, including individual performance and responsibility, general levels of market salary increases and the Company's overall financial results, with emphasis on competitive salaries in the marketplace. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. The Compensation Committee's philosophy is to use a combination of annual and long-term compensation methods, including grants of Common Stock under various plans. The Compensation Committee believes that key employees should have a significant portion of their total compensation paid in shares of Common Stock, as significant equity ownership in the Company focuses executives on managing the Company from the long-term perspective of an owner, with emphasis on enhanced stockholder value. Key employees are strongly encouraged to retain shares of Common Stock granted as part of their compensation. ANNUAL INCENTIVE BONUSES. Annual incentive bonuses are based on the achievement of specified corporate goals. Pursuant to the 1997 Management Incentive Bonus Plan, targeted corporate financial goals were established at the outset of 1997 by the Company's management and approved by the Compensation Committee. There is no specific weighting assigned to these goals. A range of potential annual incentive awards (as a percentage of base salary), based on general industry averages, has been established for each executive officer. The Company's target annual incentive award levels are generally consistent with the market median target awards based on general industry data; this information is not available for the compensation peer group. Annual incentive bonuses may be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. The Company exceeded its 1997 targeted financial goals (earnings per share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and return on capital). Accordingly, annual incentive awards were made to the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table amounting to approximately 93 percent of the aggregate 1997 annual base salaries of such individuals. Such bonuses were paid in cash. The Company's target total annual compensation (base salary plus target annual incentive bonus) is on average competitive when compared to the market median based on general industry data; this information is not available for the compensation peer group. The Company's actual total annual compensation is overall competitive when compared to the market median based on general industry data and overall less than competitive with the market median for the compensation peer group. LONG-TERM, EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. The Company currently provides long-term incentive compensation to executives in two forms: stock options and restricted stock grants. Prior to March 1992, stock appreciation rights ("SARs") were granted in tandem with stock options under the Company's 42 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the "SAR Plan"). Each type of incentive is intended to track the Company's performance and reward achievement of long-term objectives through stock price appreciation. The Company's overall stock option and restricted stock grant levels are established by considering market data on grant levels and an appropriate overall level of shares reserved for such plans in the market. The Compensation Committee considers stock options or restricted stock awards previously granted, industry practices, the executive's accountability level and an assumed potential stock value when determining the amount of individual long-term incentive compensation. Options to purchase shares of Common Stock reward participants for generating appreciation in the Company's stock price. Stock options are granted under one of the Option Plans to key employees of the Company, including the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, at the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. These options generally vest in three equal installments beginning one year after the date of grant and are exercisable for a term of 10 years. The options granted to Mr. Bates in connection with his employment vest in five equal installments beginning one year after the date of grant. The optionees receive value from the options only if the market price of the Common Stock appreciates from the price on the grant date. As with options, holders of SARs (granted prior to 1992, but still in effect) receive value only if the market price of the Common Stock appreciates. The Company's Restricted Stock Incentive Plan (the "Restricted Plan") is designed to meet several objectives, which include increasing the actual share ownership position of key executives, providing a strong emphasis on maintaining and enhancing stockholder value and retaining executives during different stages of the business cycle. Under the Restricted Plan, eligible employees are granted shares of Common Stock that are subject to certain ownership restrictions. The shares are non-transferable during the restricted period and are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture if certain conditions are not met. The Restricted Plan provides that restrictions will cease, at the Compensation Committee's discretion, after continued employment for a specified period of time or upon the occurrence of certain established goals. The restricted stock is performance sensitive, as the value of the shares granted varies based on the market price of the Common Stock. The long-term incentives granted to executive officers are on average competitive with the market 75th percentile based on general industry data and are on average less than competitive with the market median for the compensation peer group. OTHER BENEFITS. The Company maintains the 401(k) Plan, pursuant to which the Company makes a matching contribution, in cash or shares of Common Stock, in an amount equal to a percentage of the amount of each eligible employee's base salary deferred by that employee pursuant to the 401(k) Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan"), up to six percent of his or her base salary. Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, the Company made matching contributions of 50 percent of each eligible employee's base salary deferred under this plan, up to six percent, including the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. The Company also has the ability to make discretionary contributions to all eligible employees, including the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, under the 401(k) Plan. The Company also maintains the Supplemental Savings Plan, which provides benefits to certain executives and other managers, including the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, that are supplemental to the benefits under the 401(k) Plan. DISCUSSION OF 1997 COMPENSATION FOR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. As described above, the Company determines total compensation for all executives, including the Chief Executive Officer, considering both a pay-for-performance philosophy and market rates of compensation. In establishing Mr. Bates' compensation package for 1997, emphasis was placed on competitive compensation data of general industry companies and the compensation peer group companies. In addition, with respect to establishing his long-term incentives, consideration was given to long-term equity-based benefits being forfeited by Mr. Bates to accept employment by the Company. In determining Mr. Amonett's compensation for services performed as Acting President and Chief Executive Officer through May 31, 1997, the Compensation Committee considered general industry compensation data and the compensation peer group for a President and Chief Executive Officer who is also a director. 43 POLICY REGARDING SECTION 162(M) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), generally limits corporate deductions to $1 million for compensation paid to a person who on the last day of any fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 1994 is either the Chief Executive Officer or among the four most highly compensated executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, provided there is an exception for qualified performance-based compensation. Section 162(m) of the Code became applicable to the Company effective January 1, 1994. The Option Plans currently qualify as performance-based compensation under Internal Revenue Service rules. The Company's annual incentive bonuses and awards granted under the Restricted Plan are based on performance measures, but do not qualify as performance-based under the Code. The Compensation Committee requested and received a review by the independent compensation consultant retained by the Company of the Company's compensation plans and similar plans maintained by companies in the compensation peer group with regard to Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee has determined that it is unlikely that any of the Company's executive officers will receive compensation in excess of $1 million in the near future, unless an executive officer is terminated after there is a "change of control" as defined in the Severance Agreements or, with respect to Mr. Bates, his Employment Agreement is terminated without cause (see "Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change of Control Agreements"). The proposed merger (the "Merger") of Weatherford into EVI (see "Part I, Item 1. Business") will constitute a change of control under the Severance Agreements, and Messrs. Bates, Burke and Nolen and Ms. Thomas will receive compensation in excess of $1 million in the event of termination pursuant to such agreements. The Compensation Committee has determined that it will not necessarily limit executive compensation to compensation that is deductible under Section 162(m) but that it will continue to evaluate this matter and consider alternatives to preserve the deductibility of compensation payments and benefits to the extent reasonably practicable and consistent with the Company's compensation objectives. This Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Report into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

Dividends would be paid on these shares in the event dividends are paid on the Common Stock, which is not anticipated in the foreseeable future. (4) Adjusted to reflect the one-for-two reverse stock split of the Common Stock effected on October 5, 1995 (the "Split"). (5) Mr. Bates joined the Company effective June 1, 1997.

The Option Plans, which have substantially the same terms and conditions, allow for grants of options to purchase shares of the Common Stock. The 1987 Option Plan has expired for purposes of future grants, but all outstanding options remain exercisable in accordance with their terms. Future grants may be made under the 1991 Option Plan. All options to purchase Common Stock are granted by the Compensation Committee, except for options granted to the Chief Executive Officer, which are recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. All stock options granted under an Option Plan have a term of ten years (except for certain options assumed in various mergers, which have five-year terms) and generally are exercisable at a rate of one-third each year beginning one year after the grant date. The exercise price, which is the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, is payable in cash, shares of Common Stock (subject to certain limitations), broker-financed cashless exercises or some combination of these approaches. No employee has any rights as a stockholder of any shares subject to an option until the exercise price has been paid and the shares issued to the employee. If there is a change of control of the Company as defined in the Option Plans, all outstanding options granted prior to March 4, 1998 under an Option Plan would automatically vest and the option holder would have the right to either exercise such options for three months after his or her employment terminates (or until the stated termination of such option, if earlier) or to surrender for cash all such options, unless to do so would cause a transaction otherwise eligible for pooling of interests accounting treatment under Accounting Principles Opinion No. 16 to be ineligible for such treatment, in which case the employee would receive shares of Common Stock equal in value to the cash he or she would have received. The Merger will constitute a change of control under the Option Plans. The Company maintains the SAR Plan pursuant to which the Company could, prior to March 20, 1992, grant SARs to eligible employees of the Company. The SAR Plan was originally implemented to allow executives and certain other stock option plan participants to tender their options to the Company in exchange for cash equal to the "spread" in the option (equal to the difference between the market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is exercised). Effective March 19, 1992, the SAR Plan was amended to provide that no new awards may be made pursuant to the SAR Plan after that date. SARs awarded under the SAR Plan prior to that date remain in effect and are not affected by the amendment. If there is a change of control of the Company as defined in the SAR Plan, all SARs granted under such plan (which were granted in tandem with options under an Option Plan and which are all vested) may be surrendered for cash equal to the "spread". The Merger will constitute a change of control under the SAR Plan. The following table sets forth certain information regarding stock options granted during fiscal year 1997 to the persons named in the Summary Compensation Table above. The hypothetical present values on the date of grant of stock options granted in 1997 shown below are presented pursuant to the Commission's rules and are calculated under a modified Black-Scholes Model (the "Model") for pricing options. This hypothetical value of options trading in the stock market bears little relationship to the compensation cost to the Company or potential gain realized by an executive officer. The actual amount, if any, realized upon exercise of stock options will depend upon the market price of the Common Stock relative to the exercise price per share of Common Stock at the time the stock option is exercised. There is no assurance that the hypothetical present value of stock options reflected in this table actually will be realized. 47 OPTION/SAR GRANTS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR

- ------------ (1) Options granted in 1997, except for Mr. Bates' option, are exercisable starting 12 months after the grant date, with one-third of the shares covered thereby becoming exercisable at that time and an additional one-third becoming exercisable on each successive anniversary date, with full vesting occurring on the third anniversary date. Mr. Bates' option is exercisable starting 12 months after the grant date, with one-fifth of the shares covered thereby becoming exercisable at that time and an additional one-fifth becoming exercisable on each successive anniversary date, with full vesting occurring on the fifth anniversary date. Under the terms of the Option Plans, the Compensation Committee retains the discretion, subject to plan limitations, to modify the terms of outstanding options, including the exercise price and expiration date in certain events. (2) The exercise price and tax withholding obligations related to the exercise may be paid by delivery of already-owned shares of Common Stock or by offsetting a portion of the underlying shares, subject to certain conditions. (3) The present values on grant date are calculated under the Model modified to give effect to the expected dividend rate of the Common Stock and non-transferability factors such as timing, vesting, liquidity and freely-traded status. The Model is a mathematical formula used to value options traded on stock exchanges. This formula considers a number of factors to estimate the options present value, including the Common Stock's volatility (based on 36 months of historical stock price trading data), dividend rate (0%), exercise period of the option (10 years, except three years for Mr. Amonett), interest rate (risk free rate of 6.07%) and vesting schedule (adjusted for risk of forfeiture during a three-year vesting period). The following table shows aggregate option and SAR exercises during fiscal year 1997 and December 31, 1997 values for the persons named in the Summary Compensation Table above.

The Pension Plan will eventually be terminated and participants, including certain of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, will receive a straight life annuity. The frozen monthly accrued benefits payable at age 65 as a straight life annuity are -0-, -0-, $323, $387, $372 and $278, respectively, for Messrs. Bates, Amonett, Eagles, Burke and Nolen and Ms. Thomas. The remuneration covered by the Pension Plan consisted only of the salaries paid to Pension Plan participants, as set forth in column (c) of the Summary Compensation Table. Bonuses, including the bonuses set forth in column (d) of that table, were excluded. The Pension Plan provided for (i) normal retirement at age 65 with an early retirement option at age 55 for eligible employees, (ii) a vested benefit after five years of vesting service, (iii) retirement income of approximately 32 percent of final average earnings after 35 years of credited service and (iv) spouse and disability benefits. The Company also maintained the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP") to supplement the retirement benefit to be paid pursuant to the Pension Plan to certain employees designated by the Compensation Committee, including certain of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. The Code limited the compensation used to calculate the benefit under the Pension Plan to $160,000; these amounts are indexed annually to the changes in Social Security benefits. If the pension benefit to certain employees would be limited by Section 415 of the Code or if the participants compensation used to calculate the benefit would be limited by the Code, such amounts otherwise payable to the Pension Plan participant pursuant to the Pension Plan would be paid directly to such participant by the Company in full, pursuant to the provisions of the SERP. The purpose of the SERP was to pay each employee the full retirement benefit otherwise payable to him or her but for the benefit limitations imposed by the Code. In addition, bonuses, including the bonuses set forth in column (d) of the Summary Compensation Table, were included in compensation for purposes of the SERP. The SERP also replaced benefits that would have accrued under the Pension Plan had that plan not been frozen. The Company terminated the SERP as of November 1, 1997. Distributions were then made to the participants in the SERP, including certain of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. Messrs. Bates, Amonett, Eagles, Burke and Nolen and Ms. Thomas received -0-, -0-, $79,807, $58,347, $30,969 and $18,173, respectively. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS During 1997, all members of the Board of Directors who were not employees of the Company were paid a quarterly retainer fee of $5,000 and a fee of $1,000 for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors. Additionally, committee members were paid a fee of $1,000 for attendance at each meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors on which they served. The Company maintains the Non-Employee Director Retirement Plan, effective January 1, 1994, pursuant to which each non-employee director who has completed five years or more of service at the time he or she ceases to be a director will receive an annual deferred compensation benefit equal to between 50 percent and 100 percent, depending on his or her years of service, of his or her annual cash retainer fee paid for the year in which he or she ceases to be a director. The benefit will be paid for the lesser of the number of months of his or her service as a director or 120 months. Payments will commence the first month after an individual ceases to be a director of the Company. The Company also maintains the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, effective December 1, 1994, pursuant to which each non-employee director can defer all or a portion of his or her retainer fee or meeting fees and receive interest on such deferred amounts at a market rate of return established by the Compensation Committee. An individual will receive a lump sum distribution within 30 days after he or she ceases to be a director of the Company. 49 The Company also maintains the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Option Plan"), effective March 16, 1995, pursuant to which each non-employee director is granted a stock option to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock at the time of his or her initial election to the Company's Board of Directors and an option to purchase 2,000 shares of Common Stock the day following each Annual Meeting of Stockholders thereafter for so long as he or she serves as a non-employee director. The exercise price of such options is the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Such options generally vest 100 percent six months after the grant date and are exercisable for a term of 10 years, provided that a director shall generally have six months after the date he or she ceases to be a director to exercise such options. In the event of a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Severance Agreements (see "Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements")), all outstanding options granted under this plan would automatically vest and the director would have the right to either exercise such options for seven months after he or she ceases to be a director (or until the stated termination of such options, if earlier) or to surrender for cash all such options, unless to do so would cause a transaction otherwise eligible for pooling of interests accounting treatment under Accounting Principles Opinion No. 16 to be ineligible for such treatment, in which case the director would receive shares of Common Stock equal in value to the cash he or she would have received. The Merger will constitute a change of control under the Director Option Plan. All non-employee directors on May 15, 1997 were granted on that date an option to purchase 2,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $33.438, the fair market value of the Common Stock on May 15, 1997; Mr. Amonett, who became a non-employee director on June 1, 1997, did not receive a grant in 1997. The Company also maintains the 1997 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the "Director Restricted Stock Plan") effective May 15, 1997, pursuant to which each non-employee director on May 15, 1997 was granted that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing $45,000 by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on that date. Each person who later becomes a non-employee director automatically will be granted that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing $45,000 (subject to adjustment on an annual basis for years after 1997, as provided in the Director Restricted Stock Plan) by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date. Each non- employee director who previously received a grant under this plan on which all restrictions have terminated and who is reelected for an additional term at, or whose term of office otherwise continues following the date of, an Annual Meeting of Stockholders, automatically will be granted an additional award of shares of Common Stock under the Director Restricted Stock Plan, the number of shares to be determined by dividing $45,000, subject to adjustment, by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on that date. A non-employee director will own the shares of Common Stock from the date of the share grant, subject to restrictions on ownership. Such restrictions generally will terminate in three equal installments over a three-year period, commencing one year after date of grant, provided as a rule that the director is serving as a director of the Company at the specified time. Ownership restrictions on shares granted under this plan terminate in the event of a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Severance Agreements (see "Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements")). The Merger will constitute a change of control under the Director Restricted Stock Plan. Each non-employee director on May 15, 1997 received a grant of 1,364 shares of Common Stock under this plan. Mr. Amonett received a grant of 1,290 shares of Common Stock under this plan on June 1, 1997. EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS The Company has entered into a Change of Control Agreement (a "Severance Agreement") with each of Messrs. Bates, Eagles, Burke and Nolen and Ms. Thomas. Mr. Eagles' Severance Agreement terminated in connection with his resignation as an employee of the Company. The purpose of the Severance Agreements is to encourage the executive officers to continue to carry out their duties with the Company in the event of a change of control of the Company. Under each Severance Agreement, a change of control of the Company is deemed to have occurred if (i) any person or group of persons acting in concert becomes the beneficial owner of 20 percent or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the combined voting power of the Company's voting securities, with certain exceptions; (ii) individuals who as of the date of 50 such agreement constitute the Board of Directors of the Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; (iii) there occurs a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, unless after the transaction, all or substantially all of those persons who were the beneficial owners of Common Stock prior to the transaction beneficially own more than 60 percent of the then outstanding common stock of the resulting corporation, no person who did not own Common Stock prior to the transaction beneficially owns 20 percent or more of the then outstanding common stock of the resulting corporation, and at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the corporation resulting from such transaction were members of the Board of Directors of the Company at the time such Severance Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors or executed; or (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Each of the Severance Agreements provides for severance payments in the event of termination of the executive officer's employment within three years after a change of control of the Company, unless the executive's employment is terminated by the Company or its successor for cause or disability, because of the executive's death or retirement or by the executive's voluntary termination for other than good reason, in each case as such terms are defined in the Severance Agreement. The benefits may consist of the following: (a) an amount equal to three times the highest salary plus bonus paid to such executive in any of the five years preceding the year of termination of employment; (b) salary and bonus (prorated based on the highest bonus earned in the preceding three years) to the date of termination; (c) an amount equal to the amount that would be payable if all unvested retirement plan benefits were vested; (d) an amount equal to the amount that would have been contributed as the Company match under the 401(k) Plan and the Supplemental Savings Plan for three years and (e) an amount equal to the amount the executive would have received as a car allowance for three years. In addition, if an executive is terminated within three years after a change of control, all outstanding stock options granted under either of the Option Plans and all outstanding SARs issued under the SAR Plan would automatically vest and the executive would have the right to either exercise such options and SARs for seven months after his or her date of termination (or until the stated termination of such options and SARs, if earlier) or to surrender for cash all such options and SARs, unless to do so would cause a transaction otherwise eligible for pooling of interests accounting treatment under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 to be ineligible for such treatment, in which case the executive would receive shares of Common Stock equal in value to the cash he or she would have received. Ownership restrictions on shares granted under the Restricted Plan would also be terminated in the event of an executive's termination during this period. All health and medical benefits would also be maintained after termination for three years, if the executive makes his or her required contribution. Under the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, severance payments that exceed a certain amount subject both the Company and the executive to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. Each of the Severance Agreements provides that the Company shall pay the executive a gross-up payment to ensure that the executive receives the total benefit intended by the Severance Agreement. The Company has entered into an Employment Agreement dated October 17, 1996 with Mr. Burguieres pursuant to which he will continue to serve as a director and as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and provide other services to the Board. The term of the agreement will expire October 16, 2001 unless sooner terminated as provided therein. The Company will pay Mr. Burguieres $25,000 per month pursuant to this agreement. Such Employment Agreement provides that the amounts owed thereunder shall be due and payable, and all ownership restrictions shall terminate on shares previously granted to Mr. Burguieres under the Restricted Plan, if the agreement is terminated by the Company or by Mr. Burguieres, at his option, in the event of a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Severance Agreements). The Company has entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of June 1, 1997 with Mr. Bates pursuant to which he will serve as a director and as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The term of the agreement will expire May 31, 2002 unless sooner terminated as provided therein. The Company will pay Mr. Bates a base salary of $41,667 per month pursuant to this agreement, subject to increases as determined by the Board. Mr. Bates is also eligible for various incentive compensation plans and receives the benefits extended to other executives of the Company. Such agreement provides that if 51 Mr. Bates is terminated by the Company without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement), then he shall be entitled to receive certain benefits including (a) an amount equal to three times his salary plus bonus for the prior year; (b) salary to the date of termination; and (c) health and medical benefits for three years, if he makes the required contributions. In addition, stock options granted under an Option Plan and shares granted under the Restricted Plan shall be treated in the same manner as under Mr. Bates' Severance Agreement. In the event of a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Severance Agreements), Mr. Bates shall be entitled to the benefits under either the Employment Agreement or his Severance Agreement, but not both, at his option. The Company entered into a Consulting Agreement dated as of July 26, 1996 with Mr. Amonett pursuant to which Mr. Amonett agreed to serve as Acting President and Chief Executive Officer; this agreement was terminated as of January 31, 1997 when Mr. Amonett became an employee of the Company. The Company then entered into a Severance Agreement dated as of May 15, 1997 with Mr. Amonett in connection with his termination as Acting President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, Mr. Amonett will receive one year's salary continuation, commencing on the date of his termination as an employee of the Company, which was May 31, 1997. In addition, a stock option granted under an Option Plan vested and ownership restrictions on shares granted under the Restricted Plan terminated on May 31, 1997, in accordance with the terms of the Severance Agreement. The Company has entered into a Severance and Consulting Agreement dated as of February 17, 1998, but effective March 1, 1998, with Mr. Eagles in connection with his resignation as an employee of, and his continuation as a consultant to, the Company. Pursuant to such agreement, Mr. Eagles will serve as a consultant to the Company for a term ending February 28, 2001, for a consulting fee of $12,500 per month. In addition, stock options granted under an Option Plan vested and ownership restrictions on shares granted under the Restricted Plan terminated on February 28, 1998, in accordance with the terms of such agreement. Certain of the Company's benefit plans, including the Option Plans, the SAR Plan, the Restricted Plan, the 401(k) Plan and the Supplemental Savings Plan, contain provisions that permit early vesting of the benefits, receipt of cash in exchange for cancellation of the benefits or the termination of ownership restrictions on the benefits, as applicable, upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in each such plan. If there is a change of control of the Company as defined in the Restricted Plan, ownership restrictions on shares granted prior to March 4, 1998 under the Restricted Plan shall terminate. If there is change of control of the Company as defined in the 401(k) Plan and the Supplemental Savings Plan, the amounts contributed by the Company to the participant's account under each plan shall automatically vest. The Merger will constitute a change of control under the Restricted Plan but will not constitute a change of control under the 401(k) Plan or the Supplemental Savings Plan. See "Stock Option Plans and SAR Plan" for similar information regarding such plans. To the extent that the change of control provisions of the Severance Agreements are triggered, the Severance Agreements may provide for a different treatment of such benefits, as described above. The Company has entered into an Indemnification Agreement (an "Indemnification Agreement") with each executive officer and director of the Company, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to provide indemnification and expense advancement to such executive officer or director in connection with a claim made against such executive officer or director by reason of an Indemnifiable Event, as defined in each Indemnification Agreement. Each Indemnification Agreement provides that, in the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined in each Indemnification Agreement, the Company will seek an opinion from a special independent counsel selected by an executive officer or director seeking indemnification and approved by the Company as to whether and to what extent such executive officer or director would be permitted to be indemnified under the Indemnification Agreement or the Company's Bylaws. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION Messrs. Greehey, Edelman, Moses and Widmann served as members of the Compensation Committee during the entire year. During 1997, no member of the Compensation Committee was an officer or 52 employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Except for Mr. Moses, who previously served as Chairman of the Board of the Company in a non-executive officer capacity, no member of the Compensation Committee was formerly an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. During 1997, no executive officer of the Company served as (i) a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the Compensation Committee, (ii) a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the Compensation Committee, or (iii) a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of the Company. 53 PERFORMANCE GRAPH The following graph compares the Company's cumulative total stockholder return on the Common Stock for a five-year period (December 31, 1992 to December 31, 1997) with the cumulative total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Index (the "S&P 500 Index") and the Company's peer group, which is the Standard & Poor's Oil & Gas ("Drilling & Equipment") Index, previously called the S&P Oil Well Equipment & Services Stock Index (the "Peer Group"). The graph assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 1992 in the Common Stock, the S&P 500 Index and the Peer Group. Dividend reinvestment has been assumed, and investment has been weighted to reflect relative stock market capitalization.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT. PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Common Stock beneficially owned by persons who are known to the Company to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Common Stock as of March 16, 1998. For purposes of this Report, beneficial ownership is defined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to mean generally the power to vote or dispose of shares, regardless of any economic interest therein. The persons listed have sole voting power and sole dispositive power over all shares set forth in the table, unless otherwise specified in the footnotes to the table.

To the Company's knowledge, none of such shares are deemed to be beneficially owned because the holder has the right to acquire such shares within 60 days.

The principal beneficial owners of the common stock of First Reserve are its executive officers, including Mr. Hill, Chairman of the Board of First Reserve, and Mr. Macaulay, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Reserve, each of whom is also a director of the Company.

On March 4, 1998, First Reserve and each of the First Reserve Funds entered into a voting agreement (the "EVI Voting Agreement") as a condition to EVI entering into the Merger Agreement. The EVI Voting Agreement, among other things, requires First Reserve and each of the First Reserve Funds to vote their shares of Common Stock in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Merger at any meeting of the Company's stockholders where the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger is being voted on, unless, at the time of such meeting, the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, is recommending that the stockholders vote for a Superior Proposal (as defined therein).

Stilley (the "Executive"), is effective as of January 5, 1998. RECITALS: A. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has previously determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company. The Board believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change of Control and to encourage the Executive's full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide the Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements upon a Change of Control which ensure that the compensation and benefits expectations of the Executive, which are competitive with those of executives at other corporations, will be satisfied. B. To accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Company to enter into this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. (a) The "Effective Date" shall mean the first date during the Change of Control Period (as defined in Section 1(b)) on which a Change of Control (as defined in Section 1(c)) occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change of Control occurs and if the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated prior to the date on which the Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the "Effective Date" shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment. (b) The "Change of Control Period" shall mean the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the third anniversary of the date hereof; provided, however, that commencing on the date one year after the date hereof, and on each annual -1- anniversary of such date (such date and each annual anniversary thereof shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Renewal Date"), unless previously terminated, the Change of Control Period shall be automatically extended so as to terminate three year(s) after such Renewal Date, unless at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date the Company shall give notice to the Executive that the Change of Control Period shall not be so extended. (c) A "Change of Control" shall mean: (i) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20 percent or more of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (B) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided, however that for purposes of this subsection (i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (A) any acquisition directly from the Company, (B) any acquisition by the Company, (C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, or (D) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of subsection (iii) of this Section 1(c); or (ii) Individuals, who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or -2- (iii) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a "Corporate Transaction") in each case, unless, following such Corporate Transaction, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60 percent of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20 percent or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Corporate Transaction and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Corporate Transaction; or (iv) Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 2. EMPLOYMENT PERIOD. The Company hereby agrees that the Company or an affiliated company will continue the Executive in its employ, and the Executive hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the Company or an affiliate subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the third anniversary of such date (the "Employment Period"). 3. TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT. (a) POSITION AND DUTIES. (i) During the Employment Period, (A) the Executive's position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements, authority, duties and responsibilities) shall be at least commensurate in all material respects with the most -3- significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date and (B) the Executive's services shall be performed at the location where the Executive was employed immediately preceding the Effective Date or any office or location less than 35 miles from such location. (ii) During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive agrees to devote reasonable attention and time during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the Executive hereunder, to use the Executive's reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During the Employment Period it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the Executive's responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any such activities have been conducted by the Executive prior to the Effective Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the Effective Date shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the performance of the Executive's responsibilities to the Company. (b) COMPENSATION. (i) BASE SALARY. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall receive an annual base salary ("Annual Base Salary"), which shall be paid at a monthly rate, at least equal to 12 times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable, including any base salary which has been earned but deferred, to the Executive by the Company and/or its affiliated companies in respect of the 12-month period immediately preceding the month in which the Effective Date occurs. During the Employment Period, the Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed no more than 12 months after the last salary increase awarded to the Executive prior to the Effective Date and thereafter at least annually; provided, however, that a salary increase shall not necessarily be awarded as a result of such review. Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this Agreement. Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase other than a reduction that is part of a general salary reduction implemented Company-wide or by the Executive's employer consistently applied with respect to all or substantially all employees. The term Annual Base Salary as utilized in this Agreement shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased or decreased. As used in this Agreement, the term "affiliated companies" shall include any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company. -4- (ii) ANNUAL BONUS. The Executive shall be awarded, for each fiscal year ending during the Employment Period, an annual bonus (the "Annual Bonus") in cash at least equal to the Executive's highest bonus (whether in cash or Common Stock of the Company) paid or payable under the Company's annual incentive program for the last three full fiscal years prior to the Effective Date (annualized in the event that the Executive was not employed by the Company for the whole of such fiscal year) (the "Recent Annual Bonus"). Each such Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than the end of the third month of the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless the Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of such Annual Bonus. (iii) INCENTIVE, SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLANS. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to the Executive's peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with incentive opportunities (measured with respect to both regular and special incentive opportunities, to the extent, if any, that such distinction is applicable), savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided by the Company and its affiliated companies for the Executive under such plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to the Executive's peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies. (iv) WELFARE BENEFIT PLANS. During the Employment Period, the Executive and/or the Executive's family, as the case may be, shall be eligible to participate in and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and its affiliated companies (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, salary continuance, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to the extent applicable generally to the Executive's peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with benefits which are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of such plans, practices, policies and programs in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive's those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to the Executive's peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies. (v) EXPENSES. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the most favorable policies, practices and procedures -5- of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to the Executive's peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies. (vi) FRINGE BENEFITS. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to fringe benefits (including, without limitation, financial planning services, payment of club dues, a car allowance or use of an automobile and payment of related expenses, as appropriate) in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to the Executive's peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies. (vii) VACATION. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the most favorable plans, policies, programs and practices of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to the Executive's peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies. (viii) OPTIONS/SARS. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control pursuant to which the Company is not the survivor (or survives only as a subsidiary of another entity), the surviving corporation shall issue to the Executive options and tandem stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), if applicable, in substitution or replacement of all outstanding options or SARs previously issued pursuant to a Company stock option plan or the Company's Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, respectively, any such options and SARs to have terms and conditions similar to the terms of any such original options and SARs. 4. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. (a) DEATH OR DISABILITY. The Executive's employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive's death during the Employment Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with Section 11(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive's employment. In such event, the Executive's employment with the Company shall terminate effective 30 days after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the "Disability Effective Date"), provided that within the 30-day -6- period after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive's duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive's duties with the Company on a full-time basis for 180 calendar days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive's legal representative. (b) CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment during the Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean: (i) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform substantially the Executive's duties with the Company or one of its affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board or Chief Executive Officer believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive's duties, or (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company. For purposes of this provision, no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or of a senior officer of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. (c) GOOD REASON. The Executive's employment may be terminated by the Executive during the Employment Period for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean: -7- (i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Executive's position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 3(a) of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive; (ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of Section 3(b) of this Agreement, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive; (iii) the Company's requiring the Executive to be based at any office or location other than as provided in Section 3(a)(i)(B) hereof or the Company's requiring the Executive to travel on Company business to a substantially greater extent than required immediately prior to the Effective Date; (iv) any purported termination by the Company of the Executive's employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement; or (v) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 9(c) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 4(c), any good faith determination of "Good Reason" made by the Executive shall be conclusive. (d) NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any termination during the Employment Period by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 11(b) of the Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive's or the Company's rights hereunder. -8- (e) DATE OF TERMINATION. "Date of Termination" shall mean: (i) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be; (ii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies the Executive of such termination; and (iii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be. 5. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY UPON TERMINATION. (a) GOOD REASON; OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE, DEATH OR DISABILITY. If, during the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate the Executive's employment other than for Cause, death or Disability, or the Executive shall terminate employment for Good Reason: (i) The Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following amounts: A. the sum of (1) the Executive's Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (2) the product of (x) the higher of (I) the Recent Annual Bonus and (II) the Annual Bonus paid or payable, including any bonus or portion thereof which has been earned but deferred (and annualized for any fiscal year consisting of less than 12 full months or during which the Executive was employed for less than 12 full months), for the most recently completed fiscal year during the Employment Period, if any (such higher amount being referred to as the "Highest Annual Bonus") and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365, and (3) any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Accrued Obligations"), and B. the amount equal to the product of (1) three times (2) the sum of (x) the Executive's Annual Base Salary and (y) the Highest Annual Bonus, and -9- C. an amount equal to the excess of (a) the actuarial equivalent of the benefit under the Company's qualified defined benefit retirement plan, if any, in which the Executive participates (the "Retirement Plan") (utilizing actuarial assumptions no less favorable to the Executive than those in effect under the Retirement Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date, if applicable), and any excess or supplemental retirement plan related to the Retirement Plan in which the Executive participates (together, the "SERP"), which the Executive would receive if the Executive's employment continued for three year(s) after the Date of Termination assuming for this purpose that all accrued benefits are fully vested, and assuming that the Executive's compensation in each of the three year(s) is that required by Sections 3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii), over (b) the actuarial equivalent of the Executive's actual benefit (paid or payable), if any, under the Retirement Plan and the SERP as of the Date of Termination, and D. an amount equal to three times the total of the Employer Matching Contribution credited to the Executive under the Company's 401(k) Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan") and the Supplemental Matching Accrual credited under the Company's Supplemental Savings Plan (the "Excess Plan") during the 12-month period immediately preceding the month of the Executive"s Date of Termination, such amount to be grossed up so that the amount the Executive actually receives after payment of any federal or state taxes payable thereon equals the amount first described above; (ii) For three year(s) after the Executive's Date of Termination, or such longer period as may be provided by the terms of the appropriate plan, program, practice or policy, the Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's family equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies described in Section 3(b)(iv) of this Agreement if the Executive's employment had not been terminated; provided, however, that with respect to any of such plans, programs, practices or policies requiring an employee contribution, the Executive shall continue to pay the monthly employee contribution for same, and provided further, that if the Executive becomes reemployed by another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility; (iii) The Company shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide the Executive with outplacement services, the scope and provider of which shall be selected by the Executive in his sole discretion; (iv) With respect to all options to purchase Common Stock held by the Executive pursuant to a Company stock option plan on or prior to the Date of Termination, irrespective of whether such options are then exercisable, the Executive -10- shall have the right, during the 60-day period after the Date of Termination, to elect to surrender all or part of such options in exchange for a cash payment by the Company to the Executive in an amount equal the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Executive's option multiplied by the difference between (x) and (y) where (y) equals the purchase price per share covered by the option and (x) equals the highest reported sale price of a share of Common Stock in any transaction reported on the New York Stock Exchange during the 60-day period prior to and including the Executive's Date of Termination; and with respect to all SARs held by the Executive granted under the Company's Stock Appreciation Rights Plan on or prior to the Date of Termination, irrespective of whether such SARs are then exercisable, the Executive shall have the right, during the 60-day period after the Date of Termination, to elect to surrender all or part of such SARs in exchange for a cash payment by the Company to the Executive in an amount equal to the number of SARs held by the Executive multiplied by the difference between (a) and (b) where (b) equals the fair market value of such SARs on the date on which such SARs were awarded and (a) equals the price of a share of Common Stock set forth in clause (x) above. Such cash payments shall be made within 30 days after the date of the Executive's election; provided, however, that if the Executive's Date of Termination is within six months after the date of grant of a particular option or SAR held by the Executive and the Executive is subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any cash payments related thereto shall be made on the date which is six months and one day after the date of grant of such option or SAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any right granted pursuant to the foregoing would make a Change of Control transaction ineligible for pooling of interests accounting treatment under APB No. 16 that but for this Section 5(a)(iv) would otherwise be eligible for such accounting treatment, the Executive shall receive shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the cash that would otherwise be payable hereunder in substitution for the cash, provided that any such shares of Common Stock so granted to the Executive shall be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; any options or SARs outstanding as of the Date of Termination and not then exercisable shall become fully exercisable as of the Executive's Date of Termination, and to the extent the Executive does not elect to surrender same for a cash payment (or the equivalent number of shares of Common Stock) as provided above, such options and SARs shall remain exercisable for seven months after the Executive's Date of Termination or until the stated expiration of the stated term thereof, whichever is shorter; restrictions applicable to any shares of Common Stock granted to the Executive under the Company's Restricted Stock Incentive Plan shall lapse, as of the date of the Executive's Date of Termination; (v) All country club memberships, luncheon clubs and other memberships which the Company was providing for the Executive's use at the time Notice of Termination is given shall, to the extent possible, be transferred and assigned to the Executive at no cost to the Executive (other than income taxes owed), the cost of transfer, if any, to be borne by the Company; -11- (vi) The Company shall either transfer to the Executive ownership and title to the Executive's Company car at no cost to the Executive (other than income taxes owed) or, if the Executive receives a monthly car allowance in lieu of a Company car, pay the Executive a lump sum in cash within 30 days, after the Executive's Date of Termination equal to three times the Executive's annual car allowance; (vii) All benefits under the Retirement Plan, the SERP, the 401(k) Plan and the Excess Plan, and any other similar plans, not already vested shall be 100% vested, to the extent such vesting is permitted under the Code (as defined below); and (viii) To the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Other Benefits"). (b) DEATH. If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of the Executive's death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive's legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive's estate or beneficiaries, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 5(b) shall include, without limitation, and the Executive's estate and/or beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by the Company and affiliated companies to the estates and beneficiaries of the Executive's peer executives of the Company and such affiliated companies under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to death benefits, if any, in effect at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable, those in effect on the date of the Executive's death. (c) DISABILITY. If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of the Executive's Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 5(c) shall include, without limitation, and the Executive shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits generally provided by the Company and its affiliated companies to the Executive's disabled peer executives and/or their families in accordance -12- with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if any, in effect generally at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable, those in effect at the time of the Disability. (d) CAUSE; OTHER THAN FOR GOOD REASON. If the Executive's employment is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (x) his or her Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination, (y) the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive, and (z) Other Benefits, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid. If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment Period, excluding a termination for Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. In such case, all Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination. 6. OTHER RIGHTS. Except as provided hereinafter, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 11(f), shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Except as provided hereinafter, amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement. It is expressly agreed by the Executive that he or she shall have no right to receive, and hereby waives any entitlement to, any severance pay or similar benefit under any other plan, policy, practice or program of the Company. In addition, if the Executive has an employment or similar agreement with the Company at the Date of Termination, he or she agrees that he or she shall have the right to receive all of the benefits provided under this Agreement or such other agreement, whichever one, in its entirety, the Executive chooses, but not both agreements, and when the Executive has made such election, the other agreement shall be superseded in its entirety and shall be of no further force and effect. The Executive also agrees that to the extent he or she may be eligible for any severance pay or similar benefit under any laws providing for severance or termination benefits, such other severance pay or similar benefit shall be coordinated with the benefits owed hereunder, such that the Executive shall not receive duplicate benefits. -13- 7. FULL SETTLEMENT. (a) NO RIGHTS OF OFFSET. The Company's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others. (b) NO MITIGATION REQUIRED. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. (c) LEGAL FEES. The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expense which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereto (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 8. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS BY THE COMPANY. (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 8) (a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(a), if it shall be determined that the Executive is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but that the Executive, after taking into account the Payments and the Gross-Up Payment, would not receive a net after-tax benefit of at least $50,000 (taking into account -14- both income taxes and any Excise Tax) as compared to the net after-tax proceeds to the Executive resulting from an elimination of the Gross-Up Payment and a reduction of the Payments, in the aggregate, to an amount (the "Reduced Amount") such that the receipt of Payments would not give rise to any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to the Executive and the Payments, in the aggregate, shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 8(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 8, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination shall be made by Arthur Andersen LLP or, as provided below, such other certified public accounting firm as may be designated by the Executive (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days after the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 8, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within five days after the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 8(c) and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive. (c) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable, but no later than ten business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim, and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which he gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with -15- respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim the Executive shall: (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company, (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claims; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such costs and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issues raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. (d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 8(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund -16- with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company's complying with the requirements of Section 8(c)) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 8(c), a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 9. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive's employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies, provided that it shall not apply to information which is or shall become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement), information that is developed by the Executive independently of such information, or knowledge or data or information that is disclosed to the Executive by a third party under no obligation of confidentiality to the Company. After termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 9 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement. 10. SUCCESSORS. (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's legal representatives. (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform -17- it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. 11. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS.

Stilley WEATHERFORD ENTERRA, INC. By:/s/_______________________ -19- EX-10.2 5 EXHIBIT 10.2 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT, effective as of January 5, 1998 is between Weatherford Enterra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Randall D. Stilley (the "Officer"), an officer of the Company; WHEREAS, in recognition of Officer's need for substantial protection against personal liability in order to enhance Officer's continued service to the Company in an effective manner and of Officer's reliance on the provisions of the Company's By-Laws requiring indemnification of the Officer under certain circumstances, and in part to provide Officer with specific contractual assurance that the protection promised by such By-Laws will be available to Officer (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of such By-Laws, any change in the composition of the Company's Board of Directors or any acquisition transaction relating to the Company), the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of, and the advancing of expenses to, Officer to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted by law and as set forth in this Agreement, and, to the extent insurance is maintained, for the continued coverage of Officer under the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance policies. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of Officer agreeing to serve or continuing to serve the Company directly or, at its request, with another enterprise, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. BASIC INDEMNIFICATION ARRANGEMENT (a) In the event Officer was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Claim (as defined hereinafter) by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event (as defined hereinafter), the Company shall indemnify Officer to the fullest extent permitted by law as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 30 days after written demand is presented to the Company, against any and all Expenses (as defined hereinafter), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of such Claim. If so requested by Officer, the Company shall advance (within ten business days after such written request) any and all Expenses to Officer (an "Expense Advance"). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and except as provided in Section 3 hereof, prior to a Change in Control (as defined hereinafter), Officer shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Claim initiated by Officer against the Company or any director or officer of the Company, unless the Company has joined in or consented to the initiation of such Claim. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) the obligations of the Company under Section 1(a) shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party (as defined hereinafter) shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which the special independent counsel referred to in Section 2 hereof is involved) that Officer would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an Expense Advance pursuant to Section 1(a) shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Officer would not be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Officer (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Officer has commenced legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Officer should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Officer would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and Officer shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). If there has not been a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and if there has been such a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be the special independent counsel referred to in Section 2 hereof. If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Officer substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Officer shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in the states of Texas or Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper, seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Officer. 2. CHANGE IN CONTROL. The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control of the Company (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control), then with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of Officer to indemnity payments and Expense Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or Company By-Law now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events, the Company shall seek legal advice only from special independent counsel selected by Officer and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and who has not otherwise performed services for the Company or Officer within the last five years (other than in connection with such matters). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Company and Officer as to whether and to what extent Officer would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. The Company agrees to 2 pay the reasonable fees of the special, independent counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. 3. INDEMNIFICATION FOR ADDITIONAL EXPENSES. The Company shall indemnify Officer against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, if requested by Officer, shall (within ten business days after such written request) advance such expenses to Officer, which are incurred by Officer in connection with any claim asserted against or action brought by Officer for (I) indemnification or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any other agreement or Company By-Law now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events and/or (ii) recovery under any directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Officer ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be. 4. PARTIAL INDEMNITY, ETC. If Officer is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company of some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of a Claim but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Officer for the portion thereof to which Officer is entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, Officer shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith. In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Officer is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that Officer is not so entitled. 5. NO PRESUMPTION. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval), conviction, or plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Officer did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. 6. NON-EXCLUSIVITY, ETC. The rights of Officer hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Officer may have under the Company's By-Laws or the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise. To the extent that a change in the Delaware General Corporation Law (whether by statute or judicial decision) or the Company's By-Laws permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under 3 the Company's By-Laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Officer shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. 7. LIABILITY INSURANCE. To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors' and officers' liability insurance, Officer shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company officer. 8.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and the Consultant with respect to (i) the resignation of the Consultant from the offices and positions identified on EXHIBIT A hereto; (ii) the payment to the Consultant by the Company, or by any of the Subsidiaries, of any and all settlement, severance or similar consideration; and (iii) any other matter addressed in this Agreement. Section 14 CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT. (a) The Consultant has had, and (in the course of performing the services required to be performed by the Consultant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) may continue to have, access to certain confidential financial and other proprietary information of the Company or of each of the Weatherford Group Entities. Such information constitutes valuable, special and unique property of the Company and the Weatherford Group Entities. Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 14, the Consultant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, disclose any of such information. (b) This Section 14 shall not be construed to prohibit the Consultant from, or subject the Consultant to liability for, disclosing such information (i) to any director of the Company, (ii) to any officer, employee or other agent of the Company to whom such information is furnished in the normal course of business under established policies of the Company, (iii) when ordered to do so by a governmental authority to whose jurisdiction the Consultant is subject or (iv) if the Consultant is required by law or regulation to do so. (c) This Section 14 shall not apply with respect to information which shall be deemed to be in the public domain or which shall become publicly available, other than through the Consultant's breach of this Section 14, or which was available to Consultant on a non-confidential basis or became known to Consultant from a non-confidential source. Section 15 NON-COMPETE; NON-SOLICITATION; NO ACTION THAT WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY. (a) As part of the consideration for the compensation and other benefits to be provided to the Consultant hereunder, and as additional incentive for the Company to enter into this Agreement, the Consultant and the Company agree to the non-competition provisions of this Section 15. The Consultant agrees that during the Consulting Period, the Consultant will not, directly or indirectly, for the Consultant or others, in any geographic area or market where the Company or any of the Weatherford Group Entities are conducting any business as of the Effective Date or during the Consulting Period: (i) engage in (whether by investment or ownership, or as a director, officer, employee, paid agent or paid consultant) any business competitive with the businesses conducted by the Company or any of the Weatherford Group Entities, for which the Consultant was responsible as of the Effective Date, which -10- primarily involve tubular services, fishing and downhole services and the rental of oilfield equipment (a "Competitive Business") provided that ownership of securities or other ownership interest of an entity of which the Consultant owns less than five percent of any class of outstanding securities or other ownership interest shall be permitted; (ii) render advice or services to, or otherwise assist, any other person, association or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, in a Competitive Business; (iii)induce any employee of the Company or any of the Weatherford Group Entities to terminate his or her employment with the Company or the Weatherford Group Entities or solicit the employment of any such employee by any person, association or entity not affiliated with the Company; or (iv) interfere with any relationship between the Company or any of the Weatherford Group Entities and any customer or supplier of the Company or such Weatherford Group Entities. (b) In addition, during the period of the non-compete agreement, the Consultant shall not take any action that might reasonably be expected to (i) injure the reputation of the Company or any of the Weatherford Group Entities, (ii) damage the goodwill of the Company or any of the Weatherford Group Entities, or (iii) otherwise adversely affect the business, assets, income or competitive position of the Company or any of the Weatherford Group Entities. (c) The Consultant understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit his ability to engage in certain businesses during the Consulting Period, but acknowledges that he will receive sufficiently high compensation and other benefits hereunder to justify such restrictions. (d) It is expressly understood and agreed that the Company and the Consultant consider the restrictions contained in this Section 15 to be reasonable and necessary to protect the business of the Company. Nevertheless, if any of the preceding restrictions are found by a court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions therein set forth to be modified by such court so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified by the Court, to be enforced. (e) It is specifically understood and agreed by the Company that the Consultant may at his option terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Expiration Date by giving notice of termination to the Company at least five (5) days before the date of termination whereupon this Agreement shall terminate; provided that the Company may elect to earlier -11- terminate this Agreement upon receipt of the Consultant's notice of termination. In the event this Agreement is so terminated by the Consultant, the Company shall be released from its obligations to pay the Consultant any compensation under Section 2(c) hereof accruing thereafter, and the Consultant shall be released, after the date of termination, from his obligations (i) to perform consulting services hereunder and (ii) not to engage in a Competitive Business, as provided in Section 15(a)(i), or not to render advice or services to, or not to otherwise assist, any Competitive Business, as provided in Section 15(a)(ii); provided, however, that although the Consultant may be released as provided in this Section 15(e) from his obligations under Sections 15(a)(i) and 15(a)(ii) above, such that there will be no breach of this Section 15 in the event the Consultant is employed or engaged as a consultant by a Competitive Business or renders advice or services, or otherwise assists, any Competitive Business, it is specifically understood and agreed by the Consultant that should he be so employed or engaged, the Options shall terminate on the date of termination of this Agreement. Section 16 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; CESSATION OF PAYMENTS UPON BREACH. (a) Each Party acknowledges that a remedy at law for any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of Section 14 or Section 15 of this Agreement would be inadequate, and each Party agrees that the other shall be entitled to injunctive relief in the event of an actual or threatened breach of any of those provisions. (b) Whether or not the Company shall obtain injunctive relief for any actual breach by the Consultant of the provisions of Section 14 or 15 of this Agreement, in the event of such a breach, the Company shall be entitled to withhold payment of any amounts otherwise required to be paid to the Consultant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to secure the payment of any damage resulting from such breach; provided that the Company must first give the Consultant notice of the facts which the Company believes give rise to such breach and give the Consultant 30 days after the date of such notice to cure such breach. Section 17 BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon (i) the Company and its successors and assigns and (ii) the Consultant and his legal representatives. The Consultant shall not assign or attempt to assign any rights accruing to the Consultant under this Agreement. Section 18 GOVERNING LAW. The rights and duties of the Company and the Consultant with respect to this Agreement, and the enforceability, interpretation and construction of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas. Section 19 NOTICES. -12- (a) Notices to the Consultant under this Agreement shall be given to him in writing at 535 Bolton Place, Houston, Texas 77024, or at such other address as the Consultant shall specify to the Company in writing. (b) Notices to the Company under this Agreement shall be given to it in writing at 1360 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77056, marked to the attention of the President and Chief Executive Officer. Section 20 RIGHT OF REVOCATION. Consultant acknowledges that he has carefully read this Severance and Consulting Agreement (including without limitation the Release of All Claims provision included in Section 12 hereof); that he has had the opportunity to review it with his legal counsel; that he fully understands its effect; that the only promises made to him to sign this Agreement are those stated herein; that he has been granted 21 days after the date of his receipt of this Agreement to decide whether to accept it; that he shall have seven days after his execution of this Agreement to revoke his agreement to this document; and that he is signing this Agreement voluntarily. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized officer, and the Consultant has executed this Agreement, in each case as of the date first above written.
