As Amended September 25, 2019

ARTICLE I

The Board of Directors

SECTION 1. Authority of Board. The business and affairs of Chevron Corporation (herein called the "Corporation") shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors (the "Board") or, if authorized by the Board, by or under the direction of one or more committees thereof, to the extent permitted by law and by the Board. Except as may be otherwise provided by law or these By-Laws or, in the case of a committee of the Board, by applicable resolution of the Board or such committee, the Board or any committee thereof may act by unanimous written consent or, at an authorized meeting at which a quorum is present, by the vote of the majority of the Directors present at the meeting.

SECTION 2. Number of Directors; Vacancies. The authorized number of Directors who shall constitute the Board shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board approved by at least a majority of the Directors then in office, provided that no such resolution other than a resolution to take effect as of the next election of Directors by the stockholders shall have the effect of reducing the authorized number of Directors to less than the number of Directors in office as of the effective time of the resolution.

Whenever there shall be fewer Directors in office than the authorized number of Directors, the Board may, by resolution approved by a majority of the Directors then in office, choose one or more additional Directors, each of whom shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected.

SECTION 3. Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board shall be elected each year by the independent members of the Board at the annual meeting of the Board. The Chairman shall preside at meetings of the stockholders and the Board, and shall have such other powers and perform such other duties as may from time to time be granted or assigned by the Board. In the event the independent members of the Board elect the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer as the Chairman, the independent members of the Board shall appoint an independent Lead Director. The Lead Director shall preside at meetings of the stockholders and the Board in the Chairman's absence.

SECTION 4. Vice Chairman of the Board. A Vice Chairman of the Board may be elected by the independent members of the Board. The Vice Chairman, if an officer of the Corporation, shall be Vice Chairman of the Executive Committee established pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of these By-Laws (the "Executive Committee") and shall have such other powers and perform such other duties as may from time to time be granted or assigned by the Board or, subject to the control of the Board, by a committee thereof or, subject to the control of the Board, by the Executive Committee, or as may otherwise be in accordance with the direction of the Board.

SECTION 5. Authorized Meetings of the Board. The Board shall have authority to hold annual, regular and special meetings. An annual meeting of the Board may be held immediately after the conclusion of the annual meeting of stockholders or at such other time as the Board may determine. Regular meetings of the Board may be held at such times as the Board may determine. Special meetings may be held if called by the Chairman of the Board, a Vice Chairman of the Board, the Lead Director (if any), or by at least one third of the Directors then in office.

Notice of the time or place of a meeting may be given in person or by telephone by any officer of the Corporation, or transmitted electronically to the Director's home or office, or entrusted to a third party company or governmental entity for delivery to the Director's business address. Notice of annual or regular meetings is required only if the time for the meeting is changed or the meeting is not to be held at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. When notice is required, it shall be given not less than four hours prior to the time fixed for the meeting; provided, however, that if notice is transmitted electronically or entrusted to a third party for delivery, the electronic transmission shall be effected or the third party shall promise delivery by not later than the end of the day prior to the day fixed for the meeting. The Board may act at meetings held without required notice if all Directors consent to the holding of the meeting before, during or after the meeting.

At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the Directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, provided that in no event shall a quorum be less than one-third of the total number of directors. If any meeting of the Board shall lack a quorum, a majority of the Directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice, until a quorum is obtained.

SECTION 6. Committees. The Board may, by resolution approved by at least a majority of the authorized number of Directors, establish committees of the Board with such powers, duties and rules of procedure as may be provided by resolutions of the Board. Any such committee shall have a secretary and report its actions to the Board.

At all meetings of each committee, a majority of the members of such committee then in office shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, provided that in no event shall a quorum be less than one-third of the total number of members of such committee. If any meeting of a committee shall lack a quorum, a majority of the members of such committee present may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice, until a quorum is obtained.

SECTION 7. Compensation. Directors who are not also employees of the Corporation shall be entitled to such compensation for their service on the Board or any committee thereof as the Board may from time to time determine.
