ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

     Burt M. Martin, Vice President-Legal of the Registrant, is eligible to
participate in the Weatherford International, Inc. 1998 Employee Stock Option
Plan and holds options to purchase 239,013 shares of Common Stock thereunder.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Under Delaware law, a corporation may include provisions in its certificate
of incorporation that will relieve its directors of monetary liability for
breaches of their fiduciary duty to the corporation, except under certain
circumstances, including a breach of the director's duty of loyalty, acts or
omissions of the director not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, the approval of an improper payment of
a dividend or an improper purchase by the corporation of stock or any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
provides that the Registrant's directors are not liable to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty, subject to
the described exceptions specified by Delaware law.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law grants to the
Registrant the power to indemnify each officer and director of the Registrant
against liabilities and expenses incurred by reason of the fact that he is or
was an officer or director of the Registrant if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Amended and Restated
By-laws of the Registrant provide for indemnification of each officer and
director of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
David J. Butters and Robert B. Millard, employees of Lehman Brothers Inc.
("Lehman Brothers"), constitute two of the eight members of the Board of
Directors of the Registrant. Under the restated certificates of incorporation,
as amended to date, of Lehman Brothers and its parent, Lehman Brothers Holdings
Inc. ("Holdings"), both Delaware corporations, Messrs. Butters and Millard, in
their capacity as directors of the Registrant, are to be indemnified by Lehman
Brothers and Holdings to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Messrs.
Butters and Millard are serving as directors of the Registrant at the request of
Lehman Brothers and Holdings.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also empowers the
Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was an officer or director of the Registrant against liability asserted against
or incurred by him in any such capacity, whether or not the Registrant would
have the power to indemnify such officer or director against such liability
under the provisions of Section 145. The Registrant has purchased and maintains
a directors' and officers' liability policy for such purposes. Messrs. Butters
and Millard are insured against certain liabilities which they may incur in
their capacity as directors pursuant to insurance maintained by Holdings.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

     (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;

     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar volume of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and
Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Under Delaware law, a corporation may include provisions in its certificate
of incorporation that will relieve its directors of monetary liability for
breaches of their fiduciary duty to the corporation, except under certain
circumstances, including a breach of the director's duty of loyalty, acts or
omissions of the director not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, the approval of an improper payment of
a dividend or an improper purchase by the corporation of stock or any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
provides that the Registrant's directors are not liable to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty, subject to
the described exceptions specified by Delaware law.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law grants to the
Registrant the power to indemnify each officer and director of the Registrant
against liabilities and expenses incurred by reason of the fact that he is or
was an officer or director of the Registrant if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Amended and Restated
By-laws of the Registrant provide for indemnification of each officer and
director of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
David J. Butters and Robert B. Millard, employees of Lehman Brothers Inc.
("Lehman Brothers"), constitute two of the eight members of the Board of
Directors of the Registrant. Under the restated certificates of incorporation,
as amended to date, of Lehman Brothers and its parent, Lehman Brothers Holdings
Inc. ("Holdings"), both Delaware corporations, Messrs. Butters and Millard, in
their capacity as directors of the Registrant, are to be indemnified by Lehman
Brothers and Holdings to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Messrs.
Butters and Millard are serving as directors of the Registrant at the request of
Lehman Brothers and Holdings.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also empowers the
Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was an officer or director of the Registrant against liability asserted against
or incurred by him in any such capacity, whether or not the Registrant would
have the power to indemnify such officer or director against such liability
under the provisions of Section 145. The Registrant has purchased and maintains
a directors' and officers' liability policy for such purposes. Messrs. Butters
and Millard are insured against certain liabilities which they may incur in
their capacity as directors pursuant to insurance maintained by Holdings.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

     (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;

     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar volume of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and
Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                      II-6
