          The options included in the foregoing table were granted in 1990 under
Zapata's 1990 Stock Option Plan, except in the case of Messrs. Glazer and Siem,
whose options were granted in 1993 under the Company's Amended and Restated
Special Incentive Plan with respect to their service as non-employee directors.
The options were granted at market value on the date of grant and are
exercisable in cumulative one-third installments commencing one year from the
date of grant, with full vesting occurring on the third anniversary of the grant
date.  On September 30, 1994, the closing price of Common Stock on the NYSE was
$4.50 per share, after giving effect to the one-for-five reverse stock split.
No options were granted to, or exercised by, the Named Officers during the year
ended September 30, 1994.

PENSION PLAN INFORMATION

          Effective January 15, 1995, the Company amended its Pension Plan to
provide that highly-compensated employees (those having covered annual
compensation in excess of $66,000) will not earn additional benefits under the
plan after that date.  In addition, the Company terminated its Supplemental
Pension Plan except with respect to benefits already accrued.  Messrs. Glazer,
Siem, Jackson and Mokry are not participants in the Pension Plan or the
Supplemental Pension Plan.  Mr. Lassiter retired for purposes of the Pension
Plan effective August 1, 1994 and receives annual benefits of $87,860 under the
Pension Plan

                                       6

<PAGE>
 
and $203,025 under the Supplemental Pension Plan.  Mr. Migura's estimated annual
benefit is $62,412 (assuming payments commence at age 65 on a single life
annuity basis).

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND OTHER INCENTIVE PLANS

          Effective as of March 15, 1991, Zapata entered into employment
agreements with, among others, Messrs. Lassiter and Migura.  As a result of the
termination of Mr. Migura's employment in October 1994, he will receive payments
for three years equivalent to his base salary in effect at the time of
termination ($165,600 annually).  The agreements also provided for continuation
of salary for a three-year period following termination of employment under
certain circumstances occurring within two years after a change of control.  A
"change of control" for purposes of this provision occurred in July 1992.  As a
result of the change in Mr. Lassiter's responsibilities in July 1994, Mr.
Lassiter terminated his employment under this provision of his contract.
Subsequently, Mr. Lassiter entered in a consulting agreement with the Company
under which he agreed to serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zapata
Protein, Inc. for the same aggregate compensation he would have been entitled to
receive under the termination provisions of the employment agreement, with the
payment schedule deferred over a more extended period of time so long as Mr.
Lassiter continues to serve under the consulting agreement.  The payments to Mr.
Lassiter under these provisions are included in the "Salary" column of the
Summary Compensation Table.

          Effective as of August 17, 1994, Zapata entered into a consulting
agreement with Mr. Siem under which he agreed to provide certain consulting
services to the Company and serve as its Chief Operating Officer in exchange for
a quarterly fee of $75,000.  Mr. Siem ceased to serve as the Company's Chief
Operating Officer on December 15, 1994.

          The employment agreements of Messrs. Lassiter and Migura provide that
all payments to be made thereunder shall be reduced as necessary such that the
present value of all parachute payments, as defined under federal tax laws, will
be one dollar less than three times the executive's base amount of salary, so as
to avoid the excise taxes on the executive or the disallowance of a tax
deduction by Zapata.

          Effective as of September 30, 1992, Cimarron entered into an
employment agreement with Robert W. Jackson (the "Jackson Agreement").  The
Jackson Agreement provides for Mr. Jackson's continuing employment as President,
Chief Executive Officer and Director of Cimarron for a period of five years.
However, if Mr. Jackson's employment is terminated for cause, his salary will
cease as of such date.  If Mr. Jackson's employment is terminated by death or
total or permanent disability, his salary will cease as of the end of the month
in which such event occurs.  If Mr. Jackson's employment is terminated without
cause, Cimarron will be obligated to pay the salary then being paid for the
remainder of the term of the Jackson Agreement.  In the event that Mr. Jackson
voluntarily resigns for "good reason," Cimarron is obligated to continue to pay
the salary then being paid for the remainder of the term of the Jackson
Agreement.  "Good reason" is defined as (i) the assignment to Mr. Jackson of any
duties materially inconsistent with his position, a substantial change in his
reporting responsibilities or the failure to re-elect him as President, Chief
Executive Officer or Director of Cimarron; (ii) a reduction in Mr. Jackson's
base salary or benefits; (iii) the transfer of Mr. Jackson; or (iv) a material
breach by Cimarron of the Jackson Agreement.  If Mr. Jackson voluntarily resigns
without good reason, his salary will cease as of the date of resignation.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

          During the year ended September 30, 1994, those members of Zapata's
Board of Directors who were not employees of the Company were paid an annual
retainer of $20,000, plus $3,000 for serving as chairman of any committee, plus
$700 for each Board or committee meeting attended.  Effective October 1, 1994,
the per meeting fee was changed to an annual fee of $1,000 for each Committee of
the Board on which a Board member serves and the additional fee for serving as
chairman of a committee was eliminated.  Those directors who also are Zapata
employees do not receive any additional compensation for their services as
directors.

          Pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Special Incentive Plan,
each non-employee director of the Company automatically receives, following
initial appointment or election to the Board of Directors, a grant of options to
purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at the fair market value on
the date of the grant.  Each such option is exercisable in  three equal annual
installments after the date of the grant.

          On August 27, 1981, Zapata and B. John Mackin, a director of Zapata
until his resignation in February 1994, entered into a Consulting and Retirement
Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Mackin, who was then serving as Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer of Zapata, agreed to continue serving as
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Zapata until his normal
retirement date, and to serve as a consultant to the Company following his
retirement.  The agreement provides for annual retirement income of $225,000 for
the remainder of Mr. Mackin's life and thereafter $112,500 annually to his wife
should she survive him.  Mr. Mackin retired as an employee of the Company on
December 31, 1985 and receives the amounts provided for under the agreement.
The agreement was deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors because by
serving the Company in the stated capacities, Mr. Mackin forfeited retirement
benefits comparable to those provided for under such agreement and which
otherwise would have accrued to him with respect to his previous employment, and
he was not eligible to participate in Zapata's Pension Plan.

          In November 1993, Peter M. Holt and Zapata entered into a three-year
consulting agreement pursuant to which Zapata will pay Mr. Holt an annual
consulting fee of $200,000 for the first year, $150,000 for the second year and
$130,000 for the third year.  During the first eighteen months of the term of
the consulting agreement, Mr. Holt will serve in the capacity of chairman and
chief executive officer of the divisions or subsidiaries of Zapata engaged in
the natural gas compression business and shall have the title of chairman and
chief executive officer.  Mr. Holt has agreed that, upon receipt of the written
request of the chief executive officer of Zapata during such eighteen month
period, he will relinquish the title of chief executive officer of such
divisions or subsidiaries, but will continue to have the title of chairman of
such divisions or subsidiaries.  During the second eighteen months of the term
of the consulting agreement, Mr. Holt will serve in the capacity of chairman of
such divisions or subsidiaries and shall have the title of chairman.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

          Members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors during
the year ended September 30, 1994 included Messrs. Holt, M. Glazer, Siem, Daniel
P. Whitty and until his resignation in February 1994, Mr. B. John Mackin.  Mr.
A. Glazer became a member of the Committee in August 1994. Daniel P. Whitty
resigned from the Board of Directors in November 1994.

                                       8

          Peter M. Holt is a director of the Company and is the beneficial owner
of 8.9% of the Company's Common Stock.  In November 1993, the Company purchased
the natural gas compression business of Energy Industries for an aggregate of
$67,227,631 in cash and 13,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  At the
time of the acquisition, Mr. Holt was the chief executive officer of Energy
Industries, as well as its majority shareholder.  As part of the acquisition of
Energy Industries, the Company entered into a noncompetition agreement with Mr.
Holt.  In exchange for Mr. Holt's covenant not to compete with the Company's
natural gas compression business for a three-year period after the closing date
in the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas,
the Company paid Mr. Holt $3,886,514. Also, in connection with the acquisition
of Energy Industries, the Company entered into a three-year Consulting Agreement
with Mr. Holt.  See "Compensation of Directors," above.

          Energy Industries, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
purchases parts used in manufacturing and servicing compressors and for resale
to its customers from an affiliate of Mr. Holt. Energy Industries paid
approximately $7.3 to this affiliate of Mr. Holt in fiscal 1994.  The Company
believes that such payments are comparable to those that would have been made to
other non-affiliated entities.

          Mr. Holt also uses an aircraft of another affiliated company of his
for travel in connection with his duties at Energy Industries.  Energy
Industries pays Mr. Holt's affiliates for this usage, the amount of which was
$16,085 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994. The Company believes that
such payments are comparable to those that would be made to other non-affiliated
firms for comparable services.

          Mr. Siem has been a director of the Company since 1993.  Mr. Siem is
also the chairman and chief executive officer of Norex America, Inc.  On May 17,
1993, Zapata completed certain financial transactions with Norex Drilling Ltd.
("Norex Drilling"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Norex America, Inc. ("Norex
America" and collectively with Norex Drilling and other affiliates, "Norex"),
through which Zapata raised $111.4 million from the issuance of debt and equity
pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Master Restructuring Agreement dated
as of April 16, 1993, as amended (as so amended, the "Norex Agreement"). The
Norex Agreement enabled Zapata to refinance its then outstanding senior debt and
substantially reduce the amount of its required debt service payments for the
following two years.  Under the terms of the Norex Agreement, Zapata issued
$50.0 million of senior secured notes and $32.6 million of senior convertible
notes to Norex.  In addition, Norex purchased 3 million shares of Common Stock
for $11.25 million and 17.5 million shares of $1 Preference Stock for $17.5
million.  The $1 Preference Stock was to pay dividends at an annual rate of 8.5%
and was exchangeable into 673,077 shares of Zapata's Tidewater common stock at
the option of Norex.  In August 1993, Norex exchanged all of its $1 Preference
Stock for $17.5 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% unsecured
exchangeable notes, maturing May 16, 1996.  Such notes also are exchangeable
into 673,077 shares of Tidewater, Inc. common stock.

          In December 1993, $73.7 million of the proceeds from the sale of 3.75
million shares of Zapata's Tidewater common stock were used to prepay $68.5
million of the Company's 13% senior indebtedness to Norex, along with accrued
interest, and to pay a $3.5 million prepayment premium.  Also, Zapata wrote-off
$3.3 million of previously deferred expenses related to the origination of such
indebtedness.  In September 1994, Zapata repaid the remaining balance of its 13%
senior convertible indebtedness to Norex and a required prepayment penalty of
$655,000.

          The Company entered into an administrative services arrangement with
Norex Drilling effective June 1, 1993, pursuant to which it provided office
space and certain administrative services to Norex Drilling. Norex Drilling
reimbursed the Company on a quarterly basis for the full cost of providing such
services as

                                       9

<PAGE>
 
and when incurred, plus an administrative fee of 2.5% .  In fiscal 1994, the
Company billed Norex Drilling $104,000 under this arrangement, which was
terminated in December 1994.
