Upon the occurrence a Tax Event (as
defined below), Texaco Capital Inc.
will have the right to shorten the
maturity of the Notes to the minimum
extent required, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized independent tax
counsel, such that, after the
shortening of the maturity, interest
paid on the Notes will be deductible
for United States federal income tax
purposes or, if such counsel is
unable to opine definitively as to
such a minimum period, the minimum
extent so required in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the
company, after receipt of an opinion
of such a counsel regarding the
applicable legal standards. There
can be no assurance that Texaco
Capital Inc. would not exercise its
right to shorten the maturity of the
Notes upon the occurrence of such Tax
Event or as to the period by which
such maturity would be shortened. In
the event that Texaco Capital Inc.
elects to shorten the maturity of the
Notes on the occurrence of a
Tax Event, Texaco Capital Inc. will
mail a notice of the shortened
maturity to each Holder of the Notes
by first-class mail not more than 60
days after the occurrence of such Tax
Event, stating the new maturity of the
Notes. Such notice shall be effective
immediately upon mailing.
"Tax Event" means that Texaco Capital
Inc. shall have received an opinion of
nationally recognized independent tax
counsel to the effect that, as a
result of (a) any amendment to,
clarification of, or change (including
any announced prospective amendment,
clarification or change) in any law,
or regulation thereunder, of the
United States, (b) any judicial
decision, official administrative
announcement, including any notice or
announcement of intent to adopt or
promulgate any ruling, regulatory
procedure or regulation (any of the
foregoing, an "Administrative or
Judicial Action"), or (c) any
amendment to, clarification of, or
change in the official position or the
interpretation of such laws,
regulations or Administrative or
Judicial Actions that differs from the
theretofore generally accepted
position, in each case, on or after
the date of issuance of the Notes,
there is a more than insubstantial
risk that interest paid by Texaco
Capital Inc. on the Notes is not, or
will not be, deductible, in whole or
in part, by Texaco Capital Inc. for
purposes of United States federal
income tax.
