* Explanation of Responses: In connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of December 1, 1998 among Exxon Corporation ("Exxon"), Lion
Acquisition Subsidiary Corporation and Mobil Corporation ("Mobil"), Exxon and
Mobil entered into a Stock Option Agreement pursuant to which Mobil granted
Exxon an option (the "Option") to purchase up to 136,500,000 shares of common
stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Mobil (the "Option Shares"), for a
purchase price of $95.96 per share (the "Purchase Price") (with the purchase
price per share as to 1,000 Option Shares being adjustable under certain
circumstances). Prior to the exercise of the Option, Exxon is not entitled to
any rights as a shareholder of Mobil as to the Option Shares. The number of
Option Shares and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances, provided that the aggregate number of shares purchasable by
Exxon upon exercise of the Option at the time of its exercise (together with
prior purchases under the Option) may not exceed 14.9% of the total
outstanding shares of common stock of Mobil immediately prior to the time of
such exercise (treating as outstanding for this purpose the shares of common
stock subject to the Option). The Option may only be exercised upon the
happening of certain events, none of which has occurred as of the date hereof.
Prior to such occurrence, Exxon expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of
the Option Shares.
