PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT The Newhall Land and Farming Company (a California Limited Partnership)(the "Registrant") files this Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to register 250,000 depositary units of the Registrant (the "Depositary Units") to be acquired from the Registrant or on the open market pursuant to The Newhall Land and Farming Company Employee Savings Plan, as amended (the "Plan"). Item 3. INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE The Registrant and the Plan hereby incorporate by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the Commission by the Registrant: (a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K, File No. 01-08885, filed with the Commission on March 31, 1994; (b) The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, File No. 01-08885, filed with the Commission on May 11, 1994; and (c) The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, File No. 01-08885, filed with the Commission on November 18, 1986, which describes the terms, rights and provisions applicable to the Depositary Units. All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Item 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Not applicable. Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL Not applicable. Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The Limited Partnership Agreement of the Registrant provides for indemnification by the Registrant of its general partners and their present or former partners, shareholders, directors and officers (collectively, the "Indemnitees") in certain circumstances. The limited partnership agreement of Newhall Management Limited Partnership, a California Limited Partnership ("NMLP") and the managing general partner of the Registrant, and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Newhall Management Corporation, a California Corporation ("NMC") and the managing general partner of NMLP, provide for similar indemnification of such Indemnitees. In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements ("Indemnification Agreements") with the directors and certain officers of NMC, which describe with more specificity the indemnification obligations of the Registrant. The Registrant has purchased liability insurance to supplement the protection afforded to Indemnitees by their indemnity rights under the terms of such charter documents and the Indemnification Agreements, and to cover the Registrant's indemnity obligations. However, liability insurance is not necessarily II-1. available to cover the unlimited liability of the Indemnitees in certain circumstances. In addition, NMC's Articles of Incorporation provide that the liability of directors of NMC for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law. Item 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED Not Applicable. Item 8. EXHIBITS EXHIBIT NUMBER EXHIBIT 5 Opinion of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison. 23.1 Consent of Independent Accountants - KPMG Peat Marwick. 23.2 Consent of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison is contained in Exhibit 5. 24 Power of Attorney. Reference is made to page II-3 of this Registration Statement. 99 The Newhall Land and Farming Company Employee Savings Plan. The Registrant will submit the Plan and any amendments thereto to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in a timely manner and will make all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plan. Item 9. UNDERTAKINGS. A. 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 the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement; and (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 therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (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. B. 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 into the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. C. 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 II-2. 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. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Santa Clarita, State of California, on this 18th day of May, 1994.

(II) If any Employee is a member of the family of: (i) a Five Percent Owner; or (ii) one of the ten Employees paid the greatest Remuneration during the year, then for purposes of this Paragraph such Employee shall not be considered a separate Employee, and any Remuneration paid to such individual (and any applicable Pre-Tax Contributions or Matching Contributions made to the Accounts of such individual) shall be treated as if paid to (or on behalf of) the Five Percent Owner or highly compensated Employee. "Family" for purposes of the preceding sentence includes spouse, lineal ascendants or descendants and the spouses of lineal ascendants or descendants.

(b) Subsection (a) shall be applied in accordance with the following: (1) The number of Hours of Service to be credited for periods during which the Employee performs no duties and the crediting of Hours of Service to specific Plan Years shall be determined by the Committee in accordance with subsections (b) and (c) of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2530.200b-2; and (2) An Employee whose compensation for the performance of duties is computed without reference to specific numbers of hours shall be deemed to have 190 Hours of Service in any calendar month in which such Employee completes one Hour of Service.

For purposes of calculating Hours of Service under this sub- section, the Plan shall treat as Hours of Service either: (i) the hours which otherwise would normally have been credited to the Employee but for such absence; or (ii) in any case in which the Plan is unable to determine the hours described in clause (i), eight (8) hours per day of absence. Provided, however, that no more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited for each pregnancy or placement described in (i) through (iv) above. All Hours of Service credited under this subsection shall be credited in the Plan Year during 8. which the first day of the absence described in (i) through (iv) above occurs if, but only if, the Employee would have had a Break in Service in such Plan Year were the Hours of Service under this subsection not credited in such year or, in any other case, in the immediately following Plan Year. No Hours of Service will be credited under this subsection unless the Employee furnishes to the Committee such timely information as the Committee may reasonably require to establish that the absence from work is for reasons set forth in paragraphs (1) through (4) above and the total number of days for which there was such an absence. 2.22 LEASED EMPLOYEE means any person, other than a common law employee of an Affiliated Company, who pursuant to an agreement between an Affiliated Company and any other person has performed services for the Affiliated Company (or for the Affiliated Company and related persons determined in accordance with Section 414(n)(6) of the Code) on a substantially full time basis for a period of at least one year, which services are of a type historically performed by employees in the business field of the Affiliated Company. 2.23 MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER shall mean Newhall Management Corporation, a California corporation, the Managing General Partner of the managing general partner of the Company, and any successor managing general partner. 2.24 ONE PERCENT OWNER of an entity shall mean any person who would be described by the definition of Five Percent Owner if "one percent (1%)" were substituted for "five percent (5%)" each place it appears in such definition. 2.25 PARTICIPANT shall mean any Employee who becomes a Participant in the Plan in accordance with Article III.

ARTICLE IV PARTICIPANT DEFERRALS 4.01 DEFERRAL ELECTION (a) Effective January 1, 1987 through December 31, 1993, subject to subsections (c) and (d), each Participant may execute a Deferral Election and thereby elect to have the Participating Com- pany which is his employer reduce the amount of Earnings for each pay period by an amount equal to: (i) a multiple of 1% of such Earnings before reduction, rounded to the next higher whole dollar, but not more than 6% of such unreduced Earnings; plus (ii) if the percentage elected under clause (i) is 6%, an additional specified dollar amount which in the aggregate does not exceed $2,000 annually and contribute an equal amount to the Plan pursuant to Section 5.01 as a Basic Employer Contribution on such Participant's behalf. (b) Effective January 1, 1994, subject to subsections (c) and (d), each Participant may execute a Deferral Election and thereby elect to have the Participating Company which is his employer reduce the amount of Earnings for each pay period by an amount equal to a multiple of 1% of such Earnings before reduction, rounded to the next higher whole dollar. (c) No Participant may defer for a Plan Year an amount greater than the smallest of-- (1) The applicable Dollar Limitation as defined in Section 4.02(a); (2) In the case of a Participant who received a withdrawal under Section 9.02 in the prior year, the reduced dollar limitation described in Section 9.02(b)(5); or (3) In the case of a Highly Paid Participant, such amount as the Committee determines during the course of such Plan Year, on the basis of reasonable estimates as to the Basic Employer Contributions of all Participants, will enable the Plan to comply with Section 6.01. (d) The election made by a Participant under this section will be automatically suspended during such time as a Participant is a Suspended Participant. At such time as a Participant ceases to be a Suspended Participant, the Participant may make a new Deferral Election under this Section and a new investment designation under Section 7.01. 17. 4.02 DOLLAR LIMITATION. (a) For purposes of this Section: (1) "Dollar Limitation" means the sum of $7,000, or such greater amount as may be specified by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Section 402(g)(5) of the Code. (2) "Elective Deferrals" means such contributions under a qualified cash or deferred arrangement (including Basic Employer Contributions to this Plan), a simplified employee pension plan, or an annuity contract as are described in Section 402(g)(3) of the Code. (3) "Excess Deferrals" means, with respect to a particular calendar year, the amount by which a Participant's Elective Deferrals exceed the applicable Dollar Limitation. Any Basic Employer Contributions for the Plan Year beginning with or within such taxable year previously distributed to the Participant under Section 6.02(a) shall reduce the amount of such Participant's Excess Deferrals. (b) The total amount of Elective Deferrals for a Participant for any Plan Year shall not exceed the Dollar Limitation for such year. (c) To the extent that a Participant has made Excess Deferrals to this Plan for a calendar year the amount of such Excess Deferrals (together with income thereon) shall be distributed to the Participant no later than the April 15 following the end of the Plan Year during which such Excess Deferral is made. (d) If a Participant notifies the Committee in writing no later than the first March 1 following the close of the Participant's taxable year that such Participant's aggregate Elective Deferrals (to all plans maintained by all employers, whether or not Affiliated Companies) for such taxable year exceeded the Dollar Limitation and specifies the portion of such excess allocated to his Participant's Pre-Tax Account, the portion of the excess so allocated shall be treated as an Excess Deferral and shall be distributed to the Participant (together with income thereon) no later than the April 15 following the end of his taxable year during which such excess elective deferrals were made. The Committee may require satisfactory proof that excess elective deferrals were made before distributing any amount to the Participant under this subparagraph. 18. (e) For purposes of this Section, income on distributed Excess Deferrals shall be determined as follows: (1) Divide: (i) the amount of Excess Deferrals being distributed to the Participant by (ii) the balance of the Participant's Pre-Tax Account as of the end of the Plan Year adjusted to exclude the year's investment experience by reducing such balance by the gain allocable to such amount for the year and increasing such balance by the loss allocable to such amount for the year; then (2) Multiply the result found in (1) by the following percentage: DATE OF DISTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE Before January 15 100% January 16 to February 15 110% February 16 to March 15 120% March 16 to April 15 130%. 4.03 EMPLOYEE ELECTION OF CONTRIBUTION RATE. Subject to Section 4.02, each Participant may elect to change his Basic Employer Contribution rate as of: (i) the first pay period following an Accounting Date; or (ii) such other pay period as the Committee may permit, by giving prior written notice of such change to his employer no later than 10 days prior to the beginning of such pay period. 4.04 SUSPENSION OF BASIC EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. A Participant may terminate his Basic Employer Contribution election as of the first pay period in any month by giving written notice to his employer no later than 10 days prior to the beginning of such pay period. Such termination and suspension may last indefinitely or may be revoked at any time. A Participant having so terminated and suspended may make a new Basic Employer Contribution election effective with any pay period by giving written notice to his employer at least 10 days prior to the beginning of such pay period. 19. ARTICLE V EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS 5.01 BASIC EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. Each month each Participating Company shall contribute to the Plan on behalf of each Participant who is employed by it at any time during such month an amount equal to the Basic Employer Contribution elected by such Participant with respect to his Earnings for such month attributable to such Participating Company. 5.02 MATCHING EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. (a) Subject to subsections (b), (c) and (d), Section 5.03, and Article VI, each Participating Company shall, with respect to each Participant employed by it during a Plan Year who is employed by any Affiliated Company on the last day of such Plan Year, contribute to the Trust in cash a Matching Employer Contribution in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the aggregate amount of Basic Employer Contributions not in excess of 6% of a Participant's Earnings actually allocated to such Participant's Basic Employer Contribution Account for such Plan Year by reason of employment with such Participating Company by (ii) a percentage determined by reference to such Participant's years of Seniority Service as of the end of such Plan Year as follows: SENIORITY SERVICE PERCENTAGE 1-4 years 25% 5-9 years 50% 10 years or more 75% (b) With respect to Participants employed by the Company and its Related Companies, the Board may, at its option, suspend the Matching Employer Contributions if it determines that good business reasons for such suspension exist. With respect to any Participating Company not subject to the preceding sentence, the board of directors or managing general partner of such Participating Company may, in its discretion, suspend Matching Employer Contributions if it determines that good business reasons for such suspension exist. (c) Notwithstanding subsection (a), in the event that Basic Employer Contributions initially allocated to a Participant's Basic Employer Contribution Account are distributed pursuant to Section 4.02 or 6.02 prior to any allocation of Matching Employer Contributions with respect thereto, then no Matching Employer Contributions shall be contributed 20. with respect to such Basic Employer Contributions. Any Matching Employer Contributions paid to the Trustee with respect to such Basic Employer Contributions shall be returned to the contributing Employer. 5.03 LIMITATION ON ANNUAL ADDITIONS. (a) For purposes of this Section 5.03, the term "Annual Addition" shall mean for any Plan Year: (i) the aggregate amount credited to the Participant's Matching Employer Contribution and Basic Employer Contribution Accounts under this Plan (and the Participant's accounts under any other defined contribution plan of the Participating Company employing such Participant or any Related Company) by reason of employer contributions (including any Special Contribution described in Section 6.07) and forfeitures; (ii) the Participant's voluntary contributions to any other defined contribution plan of the Participating Company or any of its Related Companies; (iii) contributions to an individual medical account (as defined in Section 415(l) of the Code) for a Participant as part of a defined benefit plan; and (iv) for purposes of the application of the dollar limit of clause (i) of subsection (b) to a Participant who is a Key Employee, as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code, with respect to such Plan Year or any preceding Plan Year, any amount paid or accrued to such Participant's account under a welfare benefit fund pursuant to Section 419A(d) of the Code. No amounts contributed by reason of rollover from another qualified plan shall be included in the Annual Addition. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence: (I) In determining the Annual Addition for any Plan Year prior to 1987 for purposes of Section 5.03(a), a Participant's own after-tax contributions shall be taken into account only to the extent of the lesser of: (i) such contributions in excess of six percent (6%) of such Participant's Remuneration for such Plan Year; or (ii) one-half (1/2) of such contributions; (II) Basic Employer Contributions distributed to a Participant pursuant to Section 4.02 or 6.02 shall be disregarded in determining such Participant's Annual Additions; and (b) The total Annual Addition to the Accounts of a Participant employed by any Participating Company or any of its Related Companies, under this Plan and any other defined con- tribution plan of such Participating Company or any of its Related Companies shall not for any such Plan Year exceed the lesser of: (i) Thirty thousand dollars ($30,000), or, if 21. greater, one-fourth (1/4) of the dollar limitation in effect under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code for such Plan Year; or (ii) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Participant's total Remuneration from such Participating Company and Related Companies for such Plan Year. (c) For purposes of this Section, an amount shall be credited to a Participant's Account under this Plan and to a Participant's accounts under any other defined contribution plan of an Affiliated Company for a Plan Year if, with respect to employer contributions (including salary deferral contributions), such contributions are made during the Plan Year or no later than 30 days following the end of the taxable year (including extensions) with or within which the Plan Year ends. (d) For purposes of this Section, an amount shall be credited to a Participant's Account under this Plan and to a Participant's accounts under any other defined contribution plan of an Affiliated Company for a Plan Year if, with respect to the Participant's own contributions, such contributions are made during the Plan Year or no later than 30 days following the end of such Plan Year. (e) In the case of any Participant who also participates in any defined benefit plan of the Participating Company employing him or any Related Company, the sum of the Defined Benefit Fraction and the Defined Contribution Fraction for any Plan Year shall not exceed 1.0. In the event the sum of such fractions would with respect to any Participant exceed 1.0, then remedial action shall be taken pursuant to the provisions of subsection (f) to the extent necessary to avoid such excess. For purposes of this section, subject to Section 15.04, the following definitions shall apply: (1) DEFINED BENEFIT FRACTION shall mean that fraction the numerator of which is the Participant's aggregate projected annual benefit, determined as of the close of the Plan Year, under any defined benefit plan of the Participating Company employing such Participant and any of its Related Companies and the denominator of which is the lesser of: (i) the product of 1.25 multiplied by the maximum dollar benefit allowable under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code for such Plan Year (taking into account any adjustment permitted for such Plan Year under Section 415(d)); or (ii) the product of 1.4 multiplied by the Participant's average annual Remuneration from such Participating Company and any of its Related Companies for the three (3) consecutive Plan Years for which such average is the highest; provided that in the case of any individual who was a Participant in a defined benefit plan on or 22. before December 31, 1982, the denominator of the Defined Benefit Fraction shall be no less than the individual's accrued benefit attributable to service with the Participating Company employing him and any of its Related Companies under the provisions of such plan as of December 31, 1982, calculated without regard to plan amendments or cost-of-living increases occurring after July 1, 1982. A Participant's "projected annual benefit" shall be equal to the total annual benefit payable in the form of a single-life annuity to which such Participant would be entitled under all defined benefit plans of the Participating Company employing him and any of its Related Companies and any annuity contract dis- tributed to the Participant from any such plan, if such Participant were to remain an eligible employee until such Participant's normal retirement date and were all other relevant factors used to determine benefits under each such defined benefit plan to remain constant for all future Plan Years. (2) DEFINED CONTRIBUTION FRACTION shall mean that fraction (never greater than one) the numerator of which is the sum of the Annual Additions to the Participant's accounts under each defined contribution plan maintained by the Participating Company employing him and any of its Related Companies for the Plan Year and all prior Plan Years (less the amount, if any, permitted to be subtracted under: (i) the transitional rule of Section 235(g)(3) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982; or (ii) the transitional rule of Section 1106(h)(4) of the Tax Reform Act of 1986) and the denominator of which is the sum of the lesser of the following amounts with respect to the Plan Year and each prior Plan Year during which the Participant was an Employee of such Participating Company or any of its Related Companies: (I) the pro-duct of 1.25 and the maximum dollar limitation in effect under Section 415(c)(1)(A) (but without regard to Section 415(c)(6)) of the Code for such Plan Year; or (II) the product of 1.4 and twenty-five percent of the Participant's Remuneration from the Participating Company employing him and any of its Related Companies for such Plan Year. 5.04 COMPLIANCE WITH THE LIMITATION. In the event that the Annual Addition to the Accounts of a Participant would for any Plan Year exceed the limitations of Section 5.03(b), or in the event the sum of the Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution Fractions applicable to a Participant would otherwise exceed the limitation of Section 5.03(e) for any Plan Year, the actions specified below shall be taken in the order listed (unless the Participant otherwise elects pursuant to Section 5.03(e)) and only to the extent necessary to satisfy the applicable limitations of Sections 5.03(b) and (e): 23. (a) First, the Participant's accrued benefits under the Retirement Plan attributable to service with the Participating Company employing him or any of its Related Companies, or under any other defined benefit plan of such Participating Company or any of its Related Companies, to the extent not already distributed therefrom in the form of an annuity contract or otherwise, shall be limited or reduced. (b) Then, if any Special Contribution made pursuant to Section 6.07 has been allocated to the Basic Employer Contribution Account of the Participant, such Special Contribution shall be allocated pro rata to the Basic Employer Contribution Accounts of other Participants receiving such Special Contributions; (c) Then, the Participant's Basic Employer Contributions for the Plan Year shall be limited, or to the extent already made, distributed to the Participant with gains or earnings thereon as a current cash payment. (d) Then, if the Participating Company employing such Participant or any Related Company has not made its Matching Employer Contribution to the Plan prior to the time a distribution of the Participant's share of the Basic Employer Contribution is effected (under subsection (c) above), the Matching Employer Contribution of such entity for the Plan Year shall be reduced to take into account such distribution, and no reallocation of the Matching Employer Contribution of such entity shall be required. (e) Then, to the extent that a Matching Employer Contribution was made to such Participant's Matching Employer Account by the Participating Company employing him or any Related Company based on the amount of any Basic Employer Contribution distributed in accor- dance with subsection (c), such contribution shall be used to reduce the Matching Employer Contributions for other Participants employed by such entity for the Plan Year to the extent possible. Any excess Matching Employer Contributions shall be held unallo- cated in a suspense account and used to reduce the Matching Employer Contributions of such entity for the next Plan Year (and succeeding Plan Years as necessary). No profits or losses attributable to the assets of the Trust shall be allocated to such a suspense account, nor shall any Employer Contributions be made, while a balance remains in a suspense account, by the entity to which such balance pertains or any of its Related Companies. If the Plan terminates, any unallocable balance remaining in a sus- pense account shall revert to the Company. (f) Finally, the Annual Addition to the Participant's accounts under any other qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the Participating 24. Company employing him or any Related Company shall be reduced in accordance with the applicable provisions of such plan. (g) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, each Participant whose combined Defined Benefit Fraction and Defined Contribution Fraction exceed 1.0 for any Plan Year may elect in accordance with procedures established by the Committee that the remedial action specified in subsection (a) be taken after, rather than before, all other remedial actions specified in subsections (b) through (f). 5.05 RETURN OF CONTRIBUTIONS. Assets held in the Trust Fund shall be held for the exclusive benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries, and such assets may never revert to or inure to the benefit of any Participating Company except under the following conditions: (a) If the Internal Revenue Service shall deny a deduction for any part of a Basic Employer Contribution or Matching Contribution made by any Participating Company, the amount of the contribution for which no deduction is allowed shall be returned to such Participating Company within one (1) year of such disallowance, whether by agreement with the Internal Revenue Service or by final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Earnings of the Plan attributable to such a contribution may not be returned to the Participating Company, but any losses attributable to such a contribution shall reduce the amount returned; (b) If within one (1) year of making a contribution to the Plan, a Participating Company or the Committee certifies that such contribution was made under mistake of fact, the Trustee shall upon the direction of the Committee before the expiration of such year return such contribution to the Participating Company that made such contribution; (c) Any balance remaining in the suspense account described in Section 5.03(e) upon the termination of the Plan shall with respect to the Participating Company contributing such balance and all Related Companies be returned by the Trustee to such Participating Company; and (d) If Basic Employer Contributions are refunded to a Participating Company in accordance with subsections (a) or (b), such contributions, together with the refunded earnings thereon (if any), shall be paid by such Participating Company to the affected Participants on whose behalf they were made, subject to satisfaction of all applicable federal and state withholding requirements. 25. 5.06 ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS. (a) Subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of Sections 401(a)(4) and 401(a)(26) of the Code, the Committee may authorize the Trustee to accept a Rollover Contribution. A Rollover Contribution must be made in cash, and must be attributable to a qualified total distribution within the meaning of Section 402(a)(5)(E) of the Code, that is received by an Eligible Employee from another tax-qualified employee plan. Prior to accepting a Rollover Contribution, the Committee may require the Eligible Employee to establish, and to provide, at the Eligible Employee's expense, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that the proposed Rollover Contribution is attributable to a qualified total distribution. (b) A Rollover Contribution shall be held in the Participant's Rollover Account, shall be accounted for separately, shall be fully vested, and shall be treated for all other Plan purposes except for Section 5.03 of the Plan, as though it were attributable to a Company contribution other than a 401(k) contribution. 26.

(a) With respect to any Plan Year, the Actual Deferral Percentage (as defined in subsection (b)) of the group consisting of all Highly Paid Participants shall not exceed the greater of: (1) 125 percent of the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of all Remaining Participants, or (2) The lesser of: (i) 200 percent of the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of all Remaining Participants; or (ii) the Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of all Remaining Participants plus two (2) percentage points. (b) The "Actual Deferral Percentage" for a specified group of Employees for a Plan Year means the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each Employee in such group) of (1) to (2), where: (1) Is the amount of Basic Employer Contributions actually allocated for the Plan Year to the Basic Employer Contribution Account of each Employee in such group, adjusted as follows: (i) Reduced (in the case of any Remaining Participant) by the amount of any excess Basic Employer Contribution previously distributed to such Employee as described in Section 4.02; (ii) Increased by any amount designated by the Committee pursuant to subsection (c)(1) which is allocated to such Employee's Basic Employer Contribution Account for such Plan Year; (iii) Increased by any qualified nonelective contributions designated by the Committee under subsection (c)(2) and allocated to such Employee's accounts; (iv) Reduced by the amount of such Employee's Basic Employer Contributions taken into account in determining Contribution Percentages pursuant to Section 6.03(d); and 27. (v) Reduced by any amount distributed to such Employee as described in Section 6.02(a); and (2) Is the Remuneration of such Employee for the Plan Year, provided, however, that with respect to any Plan Year beginning before January 1, 1990, amounts paid to an Employee on account of any period when he is not eligible to make a Deferral Election shall be excluded. For purposes of the foregoing: (I) For Plan Years after December 31, 1984 and before January 1, 1987, the Actual Deferral Percentage of Participants who are eligible to participate in another cash or deferred arrangement maintained by any Affiliated Company shall be determined by treating all the cash or deferred arrangements in which he is eligible to participate as one arrangement and if the arrangements have different Plan Years, the arrangements shall be treated as a single arrangement with respect to the Plan Years ending with or within the same calendar year. (II) The Committee shall take other plans of the Affiliated Companies into account to the extent provided in Section 6.06(a). (III) Amounts shall be treated as allocated for the Plan Year if: (i) they are actually paid to the Trust no later than the end of the twelve-month period immediately following the Plan Year to which they relate; (ii) the allocation of such amounts to an Employee's account is not contingent upon his participation in the Plan or performance of services on any date after the end of such Plan Year; and (iii) such amounts relate to Earnings that either: (A) would have been received by the Employee but for his Deferral Election; or (B) is attributable to services performed by the Employee in the Plan Year and, but for the Employee's Deferral Election, would have been received by the Employee within two and one-half (2 1/2) months after the close of the Plan Year. (IV) For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, percentages shall be calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent. (c) For purposes of computing Actual Deferral Percentages for any Plan Year, the Committee may elect to take into account any or all of the following-- 28. (1) Any Special Contribution made under Section 6.07 and designated by the Employer to be so taken into account. (2) Any qualified nonelective contributions described in Section 6.06(b), provided that: (i) the amount of such contri- butions so taken into account is not taken into account for purposes of Section 6.03(b) and satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) of the Code; and (ii) the use of such contributions for purposes of this Section 6.01 does not have the effect of increasing the difference between the Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly Paid Participants and the Actual Deferral Percentage for Remaining Participants. 6.02 REMEDIAL DISTRIBUTIONS OF BASIC EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. (a) To the extent required for compliance with the condition set forth in Section 6.01(a) for a Plan Year, taking into account, to the extent determined by the Committee, amounts described in Section 6.01(c), the Committee shall direct the Trustee to distribute, in cash, such Basic Employer Contributions as determined under subsection (b). Such distribution shall include income calculated as described in Section 6.06(c). (b) The Committee or its delegate shall determine the amounts to be distributed pursuant to subsection (a) by reducing Basic Employer Contributions of Highly Paid Participants in order of the Actual Deferral Percentages of such Participants, beginning with the highest such percentage and continuing such reductions until the condition set forth in Section 6.01(a) is satisfied; provided, however, that the amount otherwise distributable to a Highly Paid Participant under this subparagraph shall be reduced by any amount previously distributed to such Participant pursuant to Section 4.02. (c) The distribution described in subsection (a) shall be made during the period beginning with the first day after the close of the Plan Year for which such Basic Employer Contributions were made and ending two and one-half (2 1/2) months following the close of such Plan Year; provided, however, that a failure to make such distribution before the end of such period shall not cause the Plan to be treated as failing to satisfy the requirements of Section 401 of the Code if such distribution is made before the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which such Basic Employer Contributions were made. 29. 6.03 LIMITATION ON MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS. (a) With respect to any Plan Year, the Contribution Percentage (as defined in subsection (b)) of the group consisting of all Highly Paid Participants shall not exceed the greater of: (1) 125 percent of the Contribution Percentage for the group of all Remaining Participants, or (2) The lesser of (i) 200 percent of the Contribution Percentage for the group of all Remaining Participants, or (ii) the Contribution Percentage for the group of all Remaining Participants plus two (2) percentage points. (b) The "Contribution Percentage" for a specified group of Employees for a Plan Year means the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each Employee in such group) of (1) to (2), where: (1) Is the amount of Matching Employer Contributions and forfeitures allocated to the Participant's Matching Employer Contribution Account for such Plan Year, adjusted as follows: (i) Increased by any amount designated by the Committee pursuant to subsection (c)(1) and allocated to the Basic Employer Contribution Account of such Employee for such Plan Year; (ii) Increased by any qualified nonelective contri- butions designated by the Committee under subsection (c)(2) and allocated to such Employee's account; (iii) Decreased by any amount distributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 6.04(b); (2) Is the Remuneration of such Employee for the Plan Year, provided, however, that with respect to any Plan Year beginning before January 1, 1990, amounts paid to an Employee on account of any period when he is not eligible to make a Deferral Election shall be excluded. For purposes of the foregoing: (I) The Committee shall take other plans of the Affiliated Companies into account to the extent provided in Section 6.06(a). 30. (II) A Matching Contribution shall be taken into account for a Plan Year only if: (i) it is allocated to the Participant's Matching Employer Contribution Account as of a date within the Plan Year; (ii) it is actually paid to the Trust no later than the end of the twelve-month period immediately following such Plan Year; and (iii) it is made on behalf of an Employee on account of his Basic Employer Contributions for such Plan Year. (III) For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, percentages shall be calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent. (c) For purposes of computing Contribution Percentages for any Plan Year, the Committee may elect to take into account either of the following: (1) Any Special Contribution made under Section 6.07 and designated by the Employer to be so taken into account; or (2) Any qualified nonelective contributions described in Section 6.06(b) provided that (i) the amount of such contributions so taken into account is not taken into account for purposes of Section 6.01(b) and satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) of the Code, and (ii) the use of such contributions for purposes of this Section 6.03 does not have the effect of increasing the difference between the Contribution Percentage for Highly Paid Participants and the Contribution Percentage for Remaining Participants. (d) For purposes of computing Contribution Percentages for any Plan Year, the Committee may elect to take into account any Basic Employer Contributions (or any elective deferrals under any other qualified cash or deferred arrangement maintained by any Affiliated Company), provided that-- (1) Those Basic Employer Contributions (or elective deferrals under another plan), if any, not so taken into account fulfill the condition of Section 6.01(a) without regard to Section 6.01(c), and (2) The requirements of Section 6.01(a) (without regard to Section 6.01(c)) are met by such Basic Employer Contributions (or elective deferrals under another plan) separately and are met in the aggregate by all Basic Employer Contributions (or elective deferrals under another plan). (3) For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988, the plan year of the plan under which such elective deferrals are made is the same as the Plan Year. 31. 6.04 REMEDIAL DISTRIBUTIONS OF MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS. (a) To the extent required for compliance with the condition set forth in Section 6.03(a) for a Plan Year, taking into account, to the extent determined by the Committee, the amounts described in Section 6.03(c), the Committee shall direct the Trustee to distribute, in cash, such Matching Contributions as are determined under subsection (b). Such distribution shall include income calculated as described in Section 6.06(c). (b) The Committee or its delegate shall determine the amounts to be distributed pursuant to subsection (a) by reducing the Matching Contributions allocable to the Matching Employer Contribution Accounts of Highly Paid Participants in order of the Contribution Percentages of such Participants, beginning with the highest such percentage and continuing such reductions until the condition set forth in Section 6.03(a) is satisfied. (c) The distribution described in subsection (a) shall be made during the period beginning with the first day after the close of the Plan Year for which such Matching Contributions were made and ending two and one-half (2 1/2) months following the close of such Plan Year; provided, however, that a failure to make such distribution before the end of such period shall not cause the Plan to be treated as failing to satisfy the requirements of Section 401 of the Code if such distribution is made before the end of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which such contributions were made. 6.05 ADDITIONAL OVERALL LIMITATION ON DEFERRALS AND MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS; REMEDIAL DISTRIBUTIONS. (a) For purposes of this Section: (1) "Adjusted Actual Deferral Percentage" for a specified group of Employees means the "Actual Deferral Percentage" (as defined in Section 6.01(b)) for such group, adjusted to take into account (i) any use of qualified nonelective contributions to meet the requirements of Section 401(k)(3)(ii) of the Code and (ii) any corrective distribution of excess deferrals required without regard to this Section. (2) "Adjusted Contribution Percentage" for a specified group of Employees means the "Contribution Percentage" (as defined in Section 6.03(b)) for such group, adjusted to take into account 32. (i) any use of qualified nonelective contributions and elective deferrals to meet the requirements of Section 401(m)(2)(A) of the Code (provided that the use of elective contributions to meet the requirements of Section 401(m)(2)(A) is limited to the amount necessary to meet the requirements of Section 401(m)(2)(A)(ii)) and (ii) any corrective distribution of excess contributions required without regard to this Section. (b) Each Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1988 in which at least one Highly Paid Participant makes Basic Employer Contributions and receives an allocation of Matching Employer Contributions, the sum of the Adjusted Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly Paid Participants and the Adjusted Contribution Percentage for Highly Paid Participants shall not exceed the sum of: (1) 125 percent of the greater of: (i) the Adjusted Actual Deferral Percentage for Remaining Participants; or (ii) the Adjusted Contribution Percentage for Remaining Participants, plus (2) Two percent plus the lesser of: (i) the Adjusted Actual Deferral Percentage for Remaining Participants; or (ii) the Adjusted Contribution Percentage for Remaining Participants (but in no event shall this paragraph (2) amount to more than 200 percent of the lesser of the Adjusted Actual Deferral Percentage for Remaining Participants or the Adjusted Contribution Percentage for Remaining Participants). (c) To the extent necessary to meet the requirements of subsection (b), the Committee shall, in its discretion, either- (1) Reduce the Adjusted Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly Paid Participants by distributing such amounts to Employees as may be determined under procedures set forth in Section 6.02, or (2) Reduce the Adjusted Contribution Percentage for Highly Paid Participants by distributing such amounts to Employees as may be determined under procedures set forth in Section 6.04. 6.06 FURTHER DISCRIMINATION TEST REQUIREMENTS.

(2) Notwithstanding subsection (a)(1), for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 1988: (i) Contributions and allocations under an employee stock ownership plan described in Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code shall not be combined with contributions or allocations under any plan not so described; and (ii) Plans may be aggregated under this subsection only if they have the same plan year.

(2) Such contributions: (i) satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a)(4) of the Code, both with and without including the amount of such contributions taken into account under this subsection; and (ii) are not taken into account in determining whether any other contributions or benefits satisfy Section 401(a)(4) or 401(k)(3) of the Code. (3) Such contributions: (i) are actually paid to the trust under such plan no later than the end of the twelve-month period immediately 34. following the plan year to which the contribution relates; and (ii) are allocated to the accounts of participating employees under the plan without regard to the employee's participation in the plan or performance of services on any date subsequent to the end of the plan year to which such contribution relates; provided that, for plan years beginning after December 31, 1988, the plan year of the plan under which such contributions are made is the same as the Plan Year. (c) INCOME ON DISTRIBUTED AMOUNTS. Income on an amount distributed under this Article VI shall be determined by multiplying such amount by a factor computed as follows: (1) Divide the amount distributed by the balance, as of the end of the Plan Year, of the account under the Plan to which such amount was (or would have been) allocated, adjusted to exclude the year's investment experience by reducing such year-end balance by the total gain allocable thereto for the year and increasing such year-end balance by the loss allocable thereto for the year; then (2) Increase the result found in paragraph (1) by ten percent (10%) for each calendar month beginning with the day after the end of the Plan Year for which such amount was distributed and ending with the date of the distribution; provided, however, that a distribution occurring on or before the fifteenth day of the month will be treated as having been made on the last day of the preceding month, and a distribution occurring after such fifteenth day will be treated as having been made on the first day of the next month.

(a) PROCEDURE AND CRITERIA FOR APPROVING LOANS. (1) Loans shall be available pursuant to the procedures of this Section to all Participants who are currently Employees and, to the extent required under ERISA or the Code (but only to such extent), to other Participants and to Beneficiaries of deceased Participants (collectively referred to as "Borrowers"). (2) A Borrower requesting a loan shall submit to the Committee a completed form of application supplied by the Committee, containing the following information: (i) The dollar amount of the loan requested; (ii) The term of the loan requested, which shall not exceed 5 years; (iii) In the case of a Borrower who is not then an Employee, such information and/or representations as to the source(s) 45. of funds for repayment of the loan as the Committee may deem appropriate; (iv) In the case of a Borrower whose Basic Employer Contribution Account is invested in more than one investment fund or vehicle, the fund or vehicle from which assets are withdrawn to fund such loan, or, if amounts are to be withdrawn from more than one fund or vehicle, allocation of loan amounts between such funds or vehicles; and (v) Such other information as the Committee may specify. (b) AMOUNT OF LOAN. (1) No loan shall be made for an amount less than $500. (2) No loan shall be made for an amount greater than the smallest of (i), (ii), or (iii) below. (i) 50% of the combined balance of the Borrower's Basic Employer Contribution Account and Matching Employer Contribution Account (excluding any unvested portion thereof) as of the preceding Accounting Date, determined after such balance is reduced by: (I) the amount of any subsequent in-service withdrawal under Article IX; and (II) the outstanding balance of any prior loan(s) on the Accounting Date prior to the Funding Date; (ii) The balance of the Borrower's Basic Employer Contributions Account on the most recent Accounting Date, reduced by: (I) any amount withdrawn from such Account pursuant to Article IX following such Accounting Date; and (II) the outstanding balance of any prior loan(s) on such Accounting Date; (iii) $50,000, reduced by the excess, if any, of (I) the Borrower's highest outstanding loan balance under this Plan and the plans of Affiliated Companies during the 12 month period ending on the day before the loan is made, over (II) the Borrower's outstanding loan balance under this Plan and the plans of Affiliated Companies on the date the loan is made. 46. In determining the limitations set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Committee may, in its discretion, substitute a more recent date for the most recent Accounting Date, provided that such substitution shall apply to all loans made from the date of such Committee action to the next Accounting Date. (c) Funding Loans; Accounting for Loans (1) Within a reasonable time after receipt of a loan application, the Committee or its delegate shall approve or disapprove such application. The Committee shall notify the Borrower of its decision and, if the application is approved, shall instruct the Trustee to make the loan as soon as administrative feasible. (2) Upon receipt of instructions as to a Borrower's loan, the Trustee shall create a Loan Account for such Participant and fund such Loan Account by transferring assets to it from the Participant's Basic Employer Contribution Account, commencing with amounts invested in the fund or vehicle as specified by the Participant. (3) Within a reasonable time after approval of the Participant's loan application, the Trustee shall disburse the cash balance of the Loan Account to the Participant upon receipt of his duly executed promissory note (in the form approved by the Committee). In the case of a Participant with a prior loan outstanding, the proceeds of the new loan shall first be applied to discharge the prior loan in full, including principal and accrued interest, and the balance of the proceeds of the new loan shall then be disbursed to the Participant. (4) Loan payments when received by the Trust shall be credited to the Participant's Loan Account and appropriately allocated to principal and interest and shall be invested in such fund or vehicle as may be designated for all loans by the Committee, unless otherwise designated by the Participant. As of each pay period, principal from the Participant's Loan Account, along with interest allocable to such principal, shall be reallocated to his Basic Employer Contribution Account. (d) TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LOAN. (1) Each loan shall bear interest at a reasonable rate determined from time to time by the Committee pursuant to written procedures. (2) No loan shall be made for a term in excess of five (5) years. 47. (3) Each loan shall be repaid by periodic payments representing substantially level amortization of such loan over its term. During any period in which the Participant is an Employee, the loan shall be repaid by level payroll deductions. During any period in which the Participant is not an Employee, the loan shall be repaid by check, with level payments due at the end of each calendar month. Payment amounts shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the loan and at any subsequent time when a change in such amounts is required. Any loan balance may be prepaid without penalty. (4) A Participant's loan shall be secured by his Accounts under the Plan to the extent of fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate dollar amount thereof, determined immediately after the loan is made; the remaining balance of his Accounts shall be unencumbered. In the event of any failure of the Participant to make a payment within 30 days of the date due, the Trustee shall enforce such security interest at the earliest time at which the Participant is entitled to receive a distribution under Section 9.03 or Article XI of the Plan. In addition, in the event of such a failure to repay, the Committee may direct a Trustee to exercise every creditor's right at law or equity available to the Trustee. In the event a Participant whose loan is in default requests a distribution (including a hardship withdrawal under Section 8.02) from the Plan, the otherwise distributable amount shall first be applied (but only to the extent of the security interest described in the first sentence of this paragraph (4)) to offset the remaining balance of principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the loan, and only the remaining distributable amount shall be paid over to the Participant. 9.05 SUSPENSION. Any Participant who makes a withdrawal pursuant to Section 9.02 or 9.03 shall become a Suspended Participant for all purposes under the Plan for a period of 12 months beginning on the date of receipt of the withdrawal. Provided, however, that the suspension shall terminate only upon such Participant's written notice to his employer that the 12-month suspension period has elapsed. 48.

(c) The vesting in the Matching Employer Contribution Account of any Participant with no Hour of Service after December 31, 1988 shall be determined in accordance with the Plan as in effect when he had his last Hour of Service. 49. ARTICLE XI DISTRIBUTIONS 11.01 GENERAL. Upon the termination of employment of a Parti- cipant, except by death: (a) If the Participant's Vested Value does not exceed $3,500, such Vested Value shall be distributed to such Participant in a lump sum within 60 days following the Accounting Date which coincides with or next follows his termination of employment.

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (b), a Participant may elect in writing, within the 60-day period beginning on the date of his termination of employment, to receive a distribution of his entire Vested Value in a lump sum as soon as practicable provided that such distribution occurs not more than 90 days following such Participant's election. The Committee shall notify the Participant of the right to defer any distribution until the Participant attains age 65. Such notification shall be provided no less than 30 days and no more than 90 days prior to the commencement of benefits. (d) Distribution may commence less than 30 days after the notice required under Section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Regulations is given, provided that: (i) the Plan Administrator clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular distribution option), and (ii) the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution. 11.02 FORM OF DISTRIBUTION.

The Plan shall not make distributions of 50. less than 100 Depositary Units. Any balance representing fractional shares will be distributed in cash. 11.03 DEATH OF PARTICIPANT. (a) Upon the death of a Participant, the Participant's Vested Value shall be distributed to his Beneficiary (determined as specified in subsections (b) and (c) in a lump sum within 60 days following the end of the calendar quarter in which the death occurred. (b) If a Participant dies after having submitted to the Com- mittee on a form supplied by the Committee a written designation of a beneficiary which (unless such Participant is unmarried at death or unless such Beneficiary is, at the time of death, the spouse of such Participant) is consented to by such Participant's spouse in a writing which (i) acknowledges the effect of such consent, (ii) acknowledges the specific non-spouse beneficiary, and (iii) is witnessed by a notary public, the beneficiary so designated shall be the Beneficiary, entitled to the Participant's Vested Value as set forth in subsection (a). (c) If a Participant dies without having complied with subsection (b), then for purposes of subsection (a) the Beneficiary shall be the Participant's surviving spouse. If such Participant is not survived by a spouse, then the Participant's children then living shall be equal Beneficiaries.

(2) Any Participant who attains age 70 1/2 during 1988 shall be treated for purposes of this Section as having attained age 70 1/2 in 1989. 11.05 PROOF OF DEATH AND RIGHT OF BENEFICIARY. The Committee may require and rely upon such proof of death and such evidence of the right of any Beneficiary to receive the Vested Value of the Accounts of a deceased Participant as the Committee may deem proper, and its determination of death and of the right of such Beneficiary to receive payment shall be conclusive. 52. ARTICLE XII ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN 12.01 THE BOARD AND THE COMMITTEE. (a) The Board shall from time to time appoint an Employee Benefit Committee of two or more members (who may, but need not, be members of the Board, officers or individual general partners of the Company or officers of the Managing General Partner of the managing general partner) which shall be responsible for the administration of the Plan.

The Committee may, however, delegate such discretionary authority and such duties and 53. responsibilities as it deems appropriate to facilitate the day-to- day administration of the Plan as set forth in Section 12.10. Any determination by the Committee or the Committee's delegate shall be final and conclusive upon all persons. The Committee's duties shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (a) To make and enforce such rules and regulations as it shall deem necessary or proper for the efficient administration of the Plan and Trust; (b) To interpret the Plan and to decide any and all matters arising hereunder; including the right to remedy possible ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions; provided, however, that all such interpretations and decisions shall be applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner to all Employees similarly situated; (c) To select or establish funds or vehicles for investment of Accounts hereunder and to establish rules for allocations of Accounts among such funds or vehicles; (d) To compute the Vested Value of an Account which shall be payable to any Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan; (e) To authorize disbursements from the Trust.

Whenever in the administration of the Plan any action is required by the Committee, including, but not limited to, action with respect to valuation, such action shall be uniform in nature as applied to all persons similarly situated and no such action shall be taken which will discriminate in favor of officers, shareholders or highly compensated Participants. 12.05 BENEFIT CLAIMS PROCEDURES.

(b) Each application shall be acted upon and approved or disapproved within sixty (60) days following its receipt by the Committee. In determining whether to approve or deny any application for benefits (including in-service withdrawals), the Committee shall exercise discretionary authority to interpret the Plan and the facts presented with respect to such application. If any application for benefits is denied, in whole or in part, the Committee shall notify the applicant in writing of such denial and of his right to a review by the Committee and shall set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, specific reasons for such denial, specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, a description of any additional material or information necessary for the applicant to perfect his application, an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and an explanation of the Plan's review procedure.

On the basis of its review and in the exercise of its discretionary authority 55. to interpret the Plan and the facts presented with respect to the request for review, the Committee shall make an independent determination of the applicant's eligibility for benefits under the Plan. The decision of the Committee on any application for benefits shall be final and conclusive upon all persons.

The Committee from time to time may allocate to one or more of its members and may delegate to any other persons or organizations any of its rights, powers, duties and responsibilities with respect to the operation and administration of the Plan and may employ, and authorize any person to whom any of its fiduciary responsibility has been delegated to employ, persons to render advice with regard to any fiduciary responsibility held thereunder; provided, however, that: (i) no person shall be employed to exercise discretion with respect to investments except as set forth in Section 7.09; and (ii) the power to select or establish investment funds or vehicles and prescribe rules for allocation of Accounts among such funds or vehicles under Section 12.03(c) shall not be delegated.

ARTICLE XIII AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 13.01 AMENDMENT. The Plan, any Trust Agreement, and any con- tract described in Section 7.10 may be amended at any time and from time to time by an instrument in writing executed pursuant to authority granted by the Board. Any such amendment shall be effective on the date specified therein without notice to Participants and beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no such amendment shall: (a) Increase the duties or responsibilities of any Trustee or Insurance Company without its consent thereto in writing; (b) Have the effect of reverting in the Company or any other Affiliated Company the whole or any part of the principal or income of the Trust (except as permitted by Section 5.04) or of diverting any part of the principal or income of the Trust to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries; 13.02 TERMINATION. The Plan and Trust hereunder is purely voluntary on the part of the Company and each Participating Company, and the Company and each Participating Company hereby reserves the right in its sole discretion (subject to the consent of the Board) to discontinue its contributions to the Plan or to terminate the Plan, the Trust Agreement, each contract described in Section 7.10, and the Trust hereunder with respect to its Employees. For the purposes of this Section, a partial termination shall be deemed to occur only if an event is determined to be a partial termination within the meaning of Section 411(d)(3)(A) of the Code, where such determination is either (i) made or agreed to by the Committee, or (ii) made by the Internal Revenue Service and approved by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Upon complete termination or partial termination of the Plan, benefits shall be distributed to such Participants as may be affected, as soon as practicable; provided, however, that no amount in an ESOP Account representing the proceeds of sale of stock of The Newhall Land and Farming Company, a corporation (or of depositary receipts received in exchange for such stock) shall be distributed until permitted under Section 409(d) of the Code. 13.03 SUCCESSORS. In case of the merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution or reorganization of a Participating Company, or the sale by a Participating Company of all or substantially all of its assets, provision may be made in written agreement between the Company and any successor corporation or other entity acquiring or receiving a substantial part of such Participating Company's assets, whereby the Plan, each Trust Agree- ment and each contract described in Section 7.10 will be continued by the successor. If the Plan is to be 58. continued by the successor, then effective as of the date of the applicable event the successor shall be substituted for the Participating Company under the Plan and the Trust Agreement. The substitution of a successor for a Participating Company shall not constitute a termination of the Plan for any purpose. 13.04 MERGER OR TRANSFER OF PLAN ASSETS. No merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets or liabilities of the Plan to, any other plan shall occur unless each Participant in the Plan would, if the Plan terminated immediately after such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets or liabilities, receive a benefit equal to or greater than the benefit that he would have been entitled to receive immediately before such merger, consolidation or transfer if the Plan had then terminated. 13.05 EFFECT OF AMENDMENTS BY PARTICIPATING COMPANIES. Except for technical amendments, an amendment to the Plan shall be binding upon a Participating Company and its employees when approved in writing by the Participating Company. 59. ARTICLE XIV MISCELLANEOUS 14.01 SOURCE OF PAYMENT. Benefits under the Plan shall be payable only out of the Trust, and no Participating Company shall have any legal obligation, responsibility or liability to make any direct payment of benefits under the Plan. Neither the Participating Companies, the Trustee nor the Insurance Company guarantees the Trust against any loss or depreciation or guarantees the payment of any benefits hereunder. No persons shall have any rights under the Plan with respect to the Trust, or against the Trustee, Insurance Company, Company or any Participating Company, except as specifically provided for herein. 14.02 INALIENABILITY OF BENEFITS. (a) Subject to subsection (b), benefits under the Plan or from the Trust may not be assigned or hypothecated, and except to the extent required by law, no such benefits shall be subject to legal process or attachment for the payment of any claim against any person entitled to receive the same. (b) The prohibition set forth in subsection (a) shall apply to the creation, assignment or recognition of a right to any benefit payable with respect to a Participant pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order (as defined in subsection (c)) unless the order is determined to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (as defined in subsection (d)). Benefits shall be paid in accordance with the applicable requirements of any Qualified Domestic Relations Order. (c) For purposes of this Section, the term "Domestic Relations Order" means any judgment, decree or order (including approval of a property settlement agreement) which relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments or marital property rights to a spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent of a Participant, and is made pursuant to a State domestic relations law (including a community property law). (d) For purposes of this Section, the term "Qualified Domestic Relations Order" means: (i) a Domestic Relations Order which creates or recognizes the existence of an alternate payee's right, or assigns to an alternate payee the right, to receive all or a portion of the benefits payable with respect to a Participant under the Plan and with respect to which the requirements of Section 206(d)(3) of ERISA are met; or (ii) any other Domestic Relations Order entered prior to January 1, 1985 if: (I) benefits are being paid by the Plan under such order as of January 1, 60. 1985; or (II) the Committee elects to treat such order as a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. (e) In the case of any Domestic Relations Order received by the Plan, (1) The Committee shall promptly notify the Participant and any other alternate payee of the receipt of such order and the procedures for determining the qualified status of Domestic Relations Orders, and (2) Within a reasonable period after receipt of such order, the Committee shall determine whether such order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and notify the Participant and each alternate payee of such determination. (f) The Committee shall establish reasonable procedures to determine the qualified status of Domestic Relations Orders, to account separately for amounts during such determination, and to administer distributions under such orders. 14.03 NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. Nothing contained herein nor any action taken under the provisions hereof shall be construed as giving any Employee the right to be retained in the employ of his employer. 14.04 PAYMENTS TO MINORS OR INCOMPETENTS. If a Participant or Beneficiary entitled to receive payments hereunder is a minor or is deemed by the Committee or is adjudged to be legally incapable of giving valid receipt and discharge for such payments, they will be paid to such persons as the Committee might designate or to the duly appointed guardian or conservator. Any such payment shall be made for the account of such person and shall discharge the Plan of any liability therefor. 14.05 RETURN OF CONTRIBUTIONS. This Plan is intended to qualify, and the Trust is intended to be exempt from tax, under the provisions of Section 401(a) and Section 501(a) of the Code, and all contributions hereunder are intended to be deductible under Section 404 of the Code. Therefore, all assets held by the Trustee or held by any Insurance Company must be held for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries, and such assets may never revert to or inure to the benefit of a Participating Company except under the conditions set forth in Section 5.04. 14.06 ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTION. (a) This Section applies to distributions made on or after January 1, 1993. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would 61. otherwise limit a Distributee's election under this Section, a Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have any portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover. (b) For purposes of this Section: (1) "Eligible Rollover Distribution" means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee's designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and the portion of any distribution that is not includable in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities). (2) Eligible Retirement Plan means an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the Distributee's Eligible Rollover Distribution. However, in the case of an Eligible Rollover Distribution to the surviving spouse, an Eligible Retirement Plan is an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity. (3) Distributee means an Employee or former Employee. In addition, the Employee's or former Employee's surviving spouse and the Employee's or former Employee's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code, are Distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse. (4) Direct Rollover means a payment by the Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee. 14.07 APPLICABLE LAW. The Plan shall be construed, administered and governed in all respects in accordance with ERISA and other pertinent federal laws and in accordance with the laws of the State of California to the extent not preempted 62. by ERISA; provided, however, that if any provision is susceptible of more than one interpretation, such interpretation shall be given thereto as is consistent with the Plan being a qualified employees' pension plan within the meaning of the Code. If any provision of this Plan shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Plan shall continue to be fully effective. 63. ARTICLE XV TOP-HEAVY RULES 15.01 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article XV, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: (a) Determination Date shall mean, for any Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year. (b) Key Employee with respect to a particular Participating Company for a particular Plan Year, a Participant or former Participant (or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant) who, at any time during the Plan Year containing the Determination Date for the Plan Year in question or any of the four immediately preceding Plan Years, was: (1) An officer of such Participating Company or any of its Related Companies having aggregate annual Remuneration from all such entities for a Plan Year greater than one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the maximum dollar limitation in effect under Code Section 415(c)(1)(A) for the calendar year in which such Plan Year ended; (2) One of the ten employees of such Participating Company or any of its Related Companies owning the largest interests in value of any such entity, provided that: (i) such employee owns more than a one-half percent ( 1/2%) interest in such entity; and (ii) such employee's aggregate annual Remuneration from all such entities exceeds the maximum dollar limitation under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code; (3) A Five-Percent Owner of such Participating Company or any of its Related Companies; or (4) A One-Percent Owner of such Participating Company or any of its Related Companies whose aggregate annual Remuneration from all such entities exceeds $150,000. The determination of Key Employee status shall be made pursuant to the following: (I) For purposes of determining ownership in any entity under this subsection, the attribution principles of Section 318 of the Code shall apply by substituting "5%" for "50%" in Section 318(a)(2)(C). 64. (II) For purposes of item (I) above, the individuals actually considered as Key Employees with respect to a Participating Company by virtue of being officers: (i) shall not in number exceed the lesser of fifty (50) or that number not in excess of the greater of three (3) officers or ten percent (10%) of the total number of employees of the Participating Company and its Related Companies; and (ii) shall be those individuals belonging to the group of all Participants determined to be officers for the Plan Year containing the Determination Date or any of the preceding four (4) Plan Years, who received the highest annual Remuneration from such entities for any Plan Year during such five (5) year period. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no entity other than a corporation shall be deemed to have officers for purposes of clause (1) for any Plan Year beginning before March 1, 1985. (III) For purposes of item (II) above, should two employees own the same percentage interest in an entity, then the employee having the greater annual Remuneration shall be deemed to own the larger percentage interest. (c) Top-Heavy Ratio of a plan or group of plans with respect to a particular Participating Company and its Related Companies shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of: (i) the present value of all cumulative accrued benefits for all Key Employees under this Plan and under each other defined benefit plan included in the determination; and (ii) the account balances for all Key Employees under each defined contribution plan (including any simplified employee pension plan) included in the determination, and the denominator of which is the sum of: (A) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits for all Participants under this Plan and each other defined benefit plan included in the determination; and (B) the account balances for all Participants under each defined contribution plan (including any simplified employee pension plan) included in the determination, disregarding any accrued benefits or account balances not provided with respect to an Employee of such Participating Company or any of its Related Companies. In determining the Top-Heavy Ratio with respect to a particular Participating Company, the following rules apply: (1) In determining the accrued benefits and account balances of a Participant employed by a particular Participating Company, benefits attributable to service with an entity other than such Participating Company or any of its Related Companies (including service with a predecessor employer) shall be excluded. 65. (2) Present value of accrued benefits shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Plan (or such other defined benefit plan to which such benefits pertain). The value of account balances shall be determined as of the most recent valuation date that falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date. Amounts attributable to employer contributions and employee contributions (other than deductible contributions) shall be taken into account. In the event that two or more plans with different plan years are included in the determination, accrued benefits under such plans shall be aggregated as of the Determination Dates for such plans that fall within the same calendar year. Account balances and accrued benefits so determined shall be adjusted for the amount of any contributions: (i) made after the date of such valuation but on or before the Determination Date; or (ii) due but unpaid as of the Determination Date, and, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (3) or (4) below, shall include any amount distributed during the 5-year period ending on the Determination Date. (3) The accrued benefit of any Participant who is not a Key Employee with respect to the Plan Year in question, will be treated as accruing at the slowest rate applicable to any plan maintained by the Participating Company. (4) With respect to a transfer from one qualified plan to another (by rollover or plan-to-plan transfer) which is: (i) incident to a merger or consolidation of two or more plans or a division of a single plan into two or more plans; (ii) made between two plans maintained by the same employer or by employers required to be aggregated under Section 414(b), (c), or (m) of the Code; or (iii) otherwise not initiated by the employee, a Participant's accrued benefit or account balance under a plan shall include any amount attributable to any such transfer received or accepted by such plan on or before the Determination Date but shall not include any amount transferred by such plan to any other plan in such a transfer on or before the Determination Date. With respect to any rollover or plan-to-plan transfer not described in the preceding sentence, a Participant's accrued benefit or account balance under a plan shall include: (I) any amount distributed or transferred by such plan, unless the distributed or transferred amount is excludable under paragraph (2); and (II) any amount attributable to assets received in any such transfer accepted prior to January 1, 1984, but such accrued benefit or account balance shall not include any amount attributable to assets received by such plan in any such transfer accepted after December 31, 1983. 66. (5) No accrued benefit or account balance for any Participant shall be taken into account with respect to: (i) a Participant who is not a Key Employee with respect to the Plan Year in question, but who was a Key Employee with respect to a prior Plan Year; or (ii) for Plan Years commencing after December 31, 1984, an Employee who has not performed services for the Participating Company or any of its Related Companies within the five (5)-year period ending with the Determination Date. (6) Account shall be taken of any accrued benefit or account balance payable to a beneficiary (or group of beneficiaries) after the death of a Participant by disregarding the death of such Participant. (d) Required Aggregation Group means a group of two or more plans consisting of: (i) a qualified plan of a Participating Company or any of its Related Companies (including a simplified employee pension plan) in which at least one Key Employee participates (or has participated in the five (5)-year period ending with the Determination Date); and (ii) any other qualified plan or plans which enable the plan described in (i) to meet the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code. (e) Permissive Aggregation Group means a group of plans consisting of: (i) one or more qualified plans of a Participating Company in which at least one Key Employee participates (or has participated in the five (5)-year period ending with the Determination Date) or one or more Required Aggregation Groups of plans; and (ii) any other qualified plan or plans of the Participating Company or any of its Related Companies which, when considered as a group with the plan or plans specified in (i), would continue to satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code. 15.02 TOP-HEAVY STATUS. (a) Subject to subsection (b), with respect to a particular Participating Company, this Plan shall be considered "Top-Heavy" with respect to any Plan Year if, as of the Determination Date for such Plan Year, either: (1) The Top-Heavy Ratio for the Participating Company's portion of this Plan exceeds sixty percent (60%) and the Participating Company's portion of this Plan is not part of any Required Aggregation Group; or 67. (2) The Participating Company's portion of this Plan is part of a Required Aggregation Group of plans and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Required Aggregation Group exceeds sixty percent (60%). (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), if the Participating Company's portion of this Plan is part of one or more Permissive Aggregation Groups of plans for which the Top-Heavy Ratio does not exceed sixty percent (60%), this Plan shall not be Top-Heavy with respect to such Participating Company. 15.03 MINIMUM BENEFIT. (a) With respect to any Plan Year for which the Plan is Top- Heavy, each Participant who is not a Key Employee, and who has not ceased to be an Employee prior to the end of such Plan Year, shall be entitled to a contribution under this section. No Participant otherwise entitled to an allocation under this subsection shall be ineligible for such allocation solely because he or she has not completed 1,000 Hours of Service for the Plan Year. (b) Solely for the purposes of this section, years of Cumulative Vesting Service shall not include a particular year of service if: (i) the Plan was not Top-Heavy with respect to such Participating Company for any Plan Year ending during such year of service; or (ii) such year of service was completed in a Plan Year beginning before January 1, 1984. (c) The benefit of each Participant who meets the requirements of subsection (a), and who does not participate in any defined benefit plan of any Affiliated Company, shall be such Participant's Company Contribution (including forfeitures) under the other provisions of the Plan; provided that the total employer contribution (including forfeitures) allocated to the Account of such Participant shall be not less than an amount which, when added to such Participant's allocable share of employer contributions and forfeitures under any other defined contribution plan of any of the Affiliated Companies, equals at least 4% of his or her Remuneration. The benefit described in this subsection (b) is subject to the following: (i) In the event that the percentage of employer contributions and forfeitures under the plans in which such Participant participates for the Plan Year on behalf of the Key Employee for whom such percentage is greatest is less than 4% of such Key Employee's Remuneration for the Plan Year, then such Participant shall not be entitled to a contribution under this subsection (b) for the Plan Year in excess of such percentage of such Participant's 68. Remuneration, unless this Plan enables a defined benefit plan included in a Required Aggregation Group with this Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a) or 410 of the Code (except the average benefits test). (ii) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if the highest rate allocated to a Key Employee is less than 3%, amounts contributed as a result of a salary reduction agreement shall be included when determining contributions made on behalf of Key Employees. (iii) If a Participant also participates in a defined benefit plan of an Affiliated Company, then the minimum contribution requirement of this Section with respect to such Participant shall be fulfilled in accordance with the floor offset approach under which the defined benefit minimum is provided in the Retirement Plan and is offset by the benefits provided under the this Plan. 15.04 EARNINGS LIMIT. With regard to any Plan Year for which the Plan is Top-Heavy with respect to a particular Participating Company, neither the annual Remuneration nor the annual Earnings of any Participant from such Participating Company and all its Related Companies taken into account for any purpose under the Plan (other than for the purposes of Sections 5.03) shall exceed the limit in effect under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code (as adjusted by the Commissioner for increase in cost of living for such year). 15.05 LIMITATION ON ANNUAL ADDITIONS. With regard to any Plan Year for which the Plan would be Top-Heavy with respect to a particular Participating Company if "ninety percent (90%)" were substituted for "sixty percent (60%)" each place it appears in Section 15.02, Section 5.04 shall be modified by substituting "1.0" in place of "1.25" in the definitions of "Defined Contribution Fraction" and "Defined Benefit Fraction" with respect to such Participating Company and its Related Companies, provided that in no event shall the accrued benefit or account balance of any Participant be reduced below the amount of such accrued benefit or account balance immediately before the Plan becomes Top-Heavy with respect to such Participating Company. 69.
