ITEM 1. BUSINESS AND ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Union Pacific Corporation (UPC or the Corporation) was incorporated in Utah in
1969. The Corporation operates primarily in the areas of rail transportation,
through its subsidiary Union Pacific Railroad Company (the Railroad): and
trucking, through its subsidiary Overnite Transportation Company.

     In 2000, the Corporation continued to focus on its core rail transportation
business by investing approximately $1.7 billion in capital-related assets at
the Railroad. The capital assets are used to sustain current operations and
introduce innovative rail services across every commodity line. The
Corporation's rail investments in the last five years included the 1996
acquisition of Southern Pacific Rail Corporation (Southern Pacific), and the
1997 and 1999 investments in the Pacific-North and Chihuahua Pacific lines in
Mexico. The details of the Corporation's key strategic transactions in recent
years are as follows:

FENIX - During 2000, the Corporation announced the formation of a new
subsidiary, Fenix, to develop and expand the Corporation's technology and
telecommunication assets beyond the Corporation's core transportation
businesses.

MEXICAN RAILWAY CONCESSION - During 1997, the Railroad and a consortium of
partners were granted a 50-year concession to operate the Pacific-North and
Chihuahua Pacific lines in Mexico and a 25% stake in the Mexico City Terminal
Company at a price of $525 million. The consortium assumed operational control
of both lines in 1998. In March 1999, the Railroad purchased an additional 13%
ownership interest for $87 million from one of its partners. The Railroad
currently holds a 26% ownership share in the consortium. This investment is
accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

OVERNITE - In May 1998, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved a formal
plan to divest of UPC's investment in Overnite through an initial public
offering. However, market conditions deteriorated to the point that UPC did not
consummate the offering (see note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in
the Annual Report).

SKYWAY - In November 1998, the Corporation completed the sale of Skyway Freight
Systems, Inc. (Skyway), a wholly owned subsidiary. Skyway provided contract
logistics and supply chain management services. The proceeds were used to repay
outstanding debt. The sale of Skyway generated a net after-tax loss of $50
million (see note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual
Report).

SOUTHERN PACIFIC - During 2000, UPC continued its integration of Southern
Pacific's rail operations. This process is expected to be completed in 2001 (see
notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report).
UPC consummated the acquisition of Southern Pacific in September 1996 for $4.1
billion. Sixty percent of the outstanding Southern Pacific common shares were
converted into UPC common stock and the remaining 40% of the outstanding shares
were acquired for cash. UPC initially funded the cash portion of the acquisition
with credit facility borrowings, all of which have been subsequently refinanced
with other borrowings. The acquisition of Southern Pacific has been accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting.

OPERATIONS

Union Pacific Corporation consists of one reportable segment, rail
transportation, and UPC's other product lines (Other Operations). The rail
segment includes the operations of the Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary,
Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) and UPRR's subsidiaries and rail
affiliates (collectively, the Railroad). Other Operations include the trucking
product line (Overnite Transportation Company or Overnite), as well as the
"other" product lines that include the corporate holding company (which largely
supports the Railroad), Fenix LLC and affiliated technology companies (Fenix),
self-insurance activities, and all appropriate consolidating entries.

RAIL

OPERATIONS - The Railroad is a Class I railroad that operates in the United
States. It has over 34,000 route miles linking Pacific Coast and Gulf Coast
ports to the Midwest and eastern United States gateways and providing several
north/south corridors to key Mexican gateways. The Railroad serves the western
two-thirds of the country and maintains coordinated schedules with other
carriers for the handling of freight to and from the Atlantic Coast, the Pacific
Coast, the Southeast, the Southwest, Canada and Mexico. Export and import
traffic is moved through Gulf Coast and Pacific Coast ports and across the
Mexican and (primarily through interline connections) Canadian borders. The
Railroad is subject to price and service competition from other railroads, motor
carriers and barge operators. The Corporation expects to complete the
integration of the operations of SP in 2001.

EMPLOYEES - Approximately 87% of the Railroad's nearly 50,000 employees are
represented by rail unions. Under the conditions imposed by the Surface
Transportation Board (STB) in connection with the Southern Pacific acquisition,
labor agreements between the Railroad and the unions had to be negotiated before
the UPRR and Southern Pacific rail systems could be fully integrated. The
Railroad has successfully reached agreements with the shopcraft, carmen,
clerical, and maintenance-of-way unions, and also implemented "hub-and-spoke"
agreements with the train operating crafts. Under the hub-and-spoke concept, all
operating employees in a central "hub" are placed under a common set of
collective bargaining agreements with the ability to work on the "spokes"
running into and out of the hub. Negotiations under the Railway Labor Act to
revise the national labor agreements for all crafts began in late 1999 and are
still in progress.

     A separate Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000,
will be filed by UPRR and will contain additional information concerning that
company.

OTHER OPERATIONS

TRUCKING PRODUCT LINE

OPERATIONS - Overnite Transportation Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Corporation, is a major interstate trucking company specializing in
less-than-truckload shipments. Overnite serves all 50 states and portions of
Canada and Mexico through 167 service centers located throughout the United
States. Overnite transports a variety of products including machinery, tobacco,
textiles, plastics, electronics and paper products. Overnite experiences intense
service and price competition from both regional and national motor carriers.

EMPLOYEES - Overnite continues to oppose the efforts of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters (Teamsters) to unionize Overnite service centers. Since
the Teamsters began their efforts at Overnite in 1994, Overnite has received 90
petitions for union elections at 67 of its 166 service centers, although there
have been only nine elections since August 1997, and Teamsters representation
was rejected in seven of those nine elections. Twenty-two service centers,
representing approximately 14% of Overnite's 13,000 nationwide employee work
force, have voted for union representation, and the Teamsters have been
certified and recognized as the bargaining representative for such

                                      -3-
   4

employees. Fifteen of these 22 locations filed decertification petitions in 1999
and 2000. Elections affecting approximately 400 additional employees are
unresolved, and there are no elections currently scheduled. Additionally,
proceedings are pending in certain cases where a Teamsters' local union lost a
representation election. To date, Overnite has not entered into any collective
bargaining agreements with the Teamsters, who began a job action on October 24,
1999 that has continued into 2001. As of January 31, 2001, 30 Overnite service
centers had approximately 495 employees, less than 5% of Overnite's work force,
who did not report to work. Despite the work stoppage, Overnite has managed to
improve its service, revenue and profitability on a year-over-year basis.

OPERATIONAL INITIATIVES - During 2000, 1999 and 1998, Overnite benefited from
several initiatives aimed at better matching its operations to the trucking
industry environment. These actions included work force reductions, service
center consolidations, centralization of the linehaul management process and
pricing initiatives targeting Overnite's lowest margin customers. Overnite has
also benefited from growth in its customer base generated by continuing
improvements in its service levels.

OTHER PRODUCT LINES

OTHER - Included in the "other" product lines are the results of the corporate
holding company, Fenix, self-insurance activities, and all appropriate
consolidating entries.

OTHER INFORMATION

Additional information regarding UPC's operations is presented on pages 6
through 17 of the Annual Report, note 1 to the consolidated financial statements
on pages 38 through 41of the Annual Report and on pages 52, 53 and 54 of the
Annual Report, and such information (excluding photographs on pages 6 through
17, none of which supplements the text and which are not otherwise required to
be disclosed herein) is incorporated herein by reference.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION - UPC's operations are currently subject to a variety of
federal, state and local regulations. The most significant areas of regulation
are described below. See also the discussion of certain regulatory proceedings
in "Item 3. Legal Proceedings," which is incorporated herein by reference.

     The operations of the Railroad and Overnite are subject to the regulatory
jurisdiction of the STB and other federal and state agencies. The STB has
jurisdiction over rates charged on certain regulated rail traffic; freight car
compensation; transfer, extension or abandonment of rail lines; and acquisition
of control of rail and motor carriers by rail common carriers. In March 2000,
the STB imposed a 15-month moratorium on railroad merger applications between
Class I railroads. The moratorium directs large railroads to avoid merger
activities for 15 months until the STB adopts new rules governing merger
proceedings. The rulemaking proceeding is scheduled to be completed by June 11,
2001.

     Other federal agencies have jurisdiction over safety, movement of hazardous
materials, movement and disposal of hazardous waste and equipment standards.
Various state and local agencies have jurisdiction over disposal of hazardous
wastes and seek to regulate movement of hazardous materials.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION - UPC and its subsidiaries are subject to various
environmental statutes and regulations, including the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), and the Clean Air Act (CAA).

     RCRA applies to hazardous waste generators and transporters, as well as to
persons engaged in treatment and disposal of hazardous waste, and specifies
standards for storage areas, treatment units and land disposal units. All
generators of hazardous waste are required to label shipments in accordance with
detailed regulations and to prepare a

                                      -4-
   5

detailed manifest identifying the material and stating its destination before
waste can be released for offsite transport. The transporter must deliver the
hazardous waste in accordance with the manifest and only to a treatment, storage
or disposal facility qualified for RCRA interim status or having a final RCRA
permit.

     The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations under RCRA have
established a comprehensive system for the management of hazardous waste. These
regulations identify a wide range of industrial by-products and residues as
hazardous waste, and specify requirements for "cradle-to-grave" management of
such waste from the time of generation through the time of disposal and beyond.
States that have adopted hazardous waste management programs with standards at
least as stringent as those promulgated by the EPA may be authorized by the EPA
to administer all or part of RCRA on behalf of the EPA.

     CERCLA was designed to establish a strategy for cleaning up facilities at
which hazardous waste or other hazardous substances have created actual or
potential environmental hazards. The EPA has designated certain facilities as
requiring cleanup or further assessment. Among other things, CERCLA authorizes
the federal government either to clean up such facilities itself or to order
persons responsible for the situation to do so. The act created a multi-billion
dollar fund to be used by the federal government to pay for such cleanup
efforts. In the event the federal government pays for such cleanup, it will seek
reimbursement from private parties upon which CERCLA imposes liability.

     CERCLA imposes strict liability on the owners and operators of facilities
in which hazardous waste and other hazardous substances are deposited or from
which they are released or are likely to be released into the environment. It
also imposes strict liability on the generators of such waste and the
transporters of the waste who select the disposal or treatment sites. Liability
may include cleanup costs incurred by third persons and damage to publicly owned
natural resources. The Company is subject to potential liability under CERCLA as
an owner or operator of facilities at which hazardous substances have been
disposed of, or as a generator or a transporter of hazardous substances disposed
of at other locations. Some states have enacted, and other states are
considering enacting, legislation similar to CERCLA. Certain provisions of these
acts are more stringent than CERCLA. States that have passed such legislation
are currently active in designating more facilities as requiring cleanup and
further assessment.

     The operations of the Corporation are subject to the requirements of the
CAA. The 1990 amendments to the CAA include a provision under Title V requiring
that certain facilities obtain operating permits. EPA regulations require all
states to develop federally-approvable permit programs. Affected facilities must
submit air operating permit applications to the respective states within one
year of the EPA's approval of the state programs. Certain of the Corporation's
facilities may be required to obtain such permits. In addition, in December 1997
the EPA issued final regulations which require that certain purchased and
remanufactured locomotives meet stringent emissions criteria. While the cost of
meeting these requirements may be significant, expenditures are not expected to
affect materially the Corporation's financial condition or results of
operations.

     The operations of the Corporation are also subject to other laws protecting
the environment, including permit requirements for wastewater discharges
pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and storm-water
runoff regulations under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.

     Information concerning environmental claims and contingencies and estimated
attendant remediation costs is set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Other Matters - Environmental
Costs on pages 28 and 29 of the Annual Report. Such information is incorporated
herein by reference.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

SOUTHERN PACIFIC ACQUISITION

On August 12, 1996, the STB served a decision (the Decision) approving the
acquisition of control of Southern Pacific by UPC, subject to various
conditions. The acquisition was consummated on September 11, 1996. Various
appeals were filed with respect to the Decision, and all such appeals were
ultimately consolidated in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit, and all of the appeals have since been withdrawn or denied.

     Among the conditions to the STB's approval of the Southern Pacific
acquisition was the requirement that the STB retain oversight jurisdiction for
five years to examine whether the conditions imposed under the Decision remain
effective to address the competitive harms caused by the merger. On December 15,
2000, the STB served a decision in the fourth annual general oversight
proceeding to review the implementation of the merger and the effectiveness of
the conditions imposed under the Decision. The Board concluded that merger
implementation continued to be positive, the conditions ensured effective
competition and no new conditions were warranted. The STB established July 2,
2001 as the date for

                                      -6-
   7

the fifth comprehensive summary to be filed by the Railroad. The STB order also
requires interested parties to file comments concerning the fifth annual
oversight proceeding on August 17, 2001, with replies being due September 4,
2001.

SHAREHOLDER LITIGATION

As previously reported, UPC and certain of its directors and officers (who are
also directors of the Railroad) were named as defendants in two purported class
actions filed in 1997 that have been consolidated into one proceeding in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the Class
Action). In addition to the Class Action, a purported derivative action was
filed on behalf of UPC and the Railroad in September 1998 in the District Court
for Tarrant County, Texas, naming as defendants the then-current and certain
former directors of UPC and the Railroad and, as nominal defendants, UPC and the
Railroad (the Derivative Action and together with the Class Action, the
Actions).

     Prior to any rulings on the defendants' motions to dismiss the Class Action
and the Derivative Action, counsel for UPC, the Railroad and the individual
defendants in those Actions entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the
MOU), dated June 28, 2000, with counsel for the plaintiffs in the Class Action
and Derivative Action, providing for the settlement of both Actions. The MOU
provided, among other things, that the Class Action would be settled for
$34,025,000 in cash (the Settlement Payment), the full amount of which has been
covered by UPC's insurance carriers. The MOU also provided that, in settlement
of the Derivative Action, UPC would adopt certain additional procedures which
are intended to reinforce its continuing effort to ensure both the effective
implementation of its merger with Southern Pacific and its ongoing commitment to
rail safety. In addition, in the event of any proposed merger or other
transaction involving consolidation of UPC and a rail system of greater than
1,000 miles in length of road, UPC agreed to commission a study, to be completed
in advance of any formal application to a U.S., Canadian or Mexican federal
regulatory board, to analyze prospective safety and congestion-related issues.

     On October 12, 2000, counsel for the respective parties in the Class Action
and the Derivative Action entered into definitive Stipulations of Compromise and
Settlement (the Stipulations), providing for the settlement of the Actions on
the terms described above, subject to court approval. At separate hearings on
December 13, 2000, the court in the Class Action and the court in the Derivative
Action approved the proposed settlement of the respective Actions as fair,
adequate and reasonable and dismissed the respective Actions with prejudice in
favor of the defendants. In its order, the court in the Class Action also
granted in part plaintiffs' counsels' application for attorneys' fees and
expenses, to be paid from the Settlement Payment. In its order, the court in the
Derivative Action also granted plaintiff's counsels' application for attorneys
fees and expenses in the amount of $975,000, which amount has been paid by the
Corporation but has been fully covered by UPC's insurance carriers.

     UPC, the Railroad and the individual defendants named in the Actions
entered into the MOU and Stipulations solely for the purpose of avoiding the
further expense, inconvenience, burden and uncertainty of the Actions, and their
decision to do so does not constitute, and under the terms of the Stipulations
may not be taken as, an admission or concession or evidence of any liability or
wrongdoing whatsoever on the part of any party to either Action, which liability
and wrongdoing have consistently been, and continue to be, denied.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD MATTERS

         As previously reported, in May 2000 the STB dismissed a complaint filed
by the Western Coal Traffic League (WCTL) alleging that the Railroad improperly
accounted for certain costs associated with the acquisition of Southern Pacific
and service difficulties in its 1997 annual report filed with the STB. On June
1, 2000, the WCTL petitioned the STB for a rehearing. On November 30, 2000, the
STB rejected WCTL's petition for reconsideration and affirmed its earlier
decision issued in May of 2000 that the Railroad properly accounted for the
service difficulties experienced in 1997.

                                      -7-
   8

     Also as previously reported, in May 2000 the STB served a decision in a
complaint filed by FMC challenging the Railroad's tariff rates on 16 different
movements. The decision found rates on 15 of the movements were excessive. On
June 1, 2000, the Railroad petitioned the STB for reconsideration, alleging that
multiple errors caused the decision to understate costs and therefore prescribe
rates where not jurisdictionally permitted or prescribe lower rates than
warranted. The Railroad and FMC each also filed a petition for review of the STB
decision in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Although both FMC and the Railroad originally challenged the STB decision, both
parties agreed that neither party would pursue future appeals or regulatory
action as part of a wider commercial understanding reached on December 8, 2000.
When the Railroad notified the STB that it was withdrawing its motion for
reconsideration, the STB dismissed the motion and discontinued the proceeding in
a decision served December 13, 2000. The parties agreed upon an amount to be
paid in final reparations and interest and the Railroad paid the final
installment on December 15, 2000.

OTHER MATTERS

Western Resources v. Union Pacific Railroad Company and The Burlington Northern
Santa Fe Railway Company. Western Resources (Western) filed its original
complaint on January 24, 2000 in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Kansas. Western alleged the railroads materially breached their service
obligations under the transportation contract to deliver coal in a timely manner
to Western's Jeffrey Energy Center. The original complaint sought recovery of
consequential damages and termination of the contract, excusing Western from
further performance. In an amended complaint filed September 1, 2000, Western
claimed the right to retroactive termination and added a claim for restitution.
In its December 1, 2000 supplemental disclosure of damages, Western continued to
assert both its damages and restitution claims.

     The railroads are vigorously defending this lawsuit and discovery is
underway. The railroads have filed two motions seeking dismissal of the
termination and restitution claims. Western has responded, and the railroads
have replied. The trial is currently scheduled to begin in May 2002.

LABOR MATTERS

The General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is seeking a
bargaining order remedy in 11 cases involving Overnite where a Teamsters local
union lost a representation election. A bargaining order remedy would require
Overnite to recognize and bargain with the union as if the union had won instead
of lost the election and would be warranted only if the following findings are
made: (1) the petitioning Teamsters local had obtained valid authorization cards
from a majority of the employees in an appropriate unit; (2) Overnite committed
serious unfair labor practices; and (3) those unfair labor practices would
preclude the holding of a fair election despite the application of less drastic
remedies. In these eleven cases an administrative law judge has ruled that the
bargaining order remedy is warranted. Overnite appealed those rulings to the
NLRB. The NLRB has upheld the decision of the administrative law judge in four
cases, and Overnite has appealed the NLRB's ruling to the United States Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. On February 16, 2001 a two-one majority of a
Fourth Circuit panel enforced the NLRB bargaining orders. Overnite will petition
for rehearing by the entire Circuit bench. With respect to the other seven
bargaining order cases, Overnite's appeal is pending before the NLRB. In a
twelfth case, the administrative law judge found that a bargaining order remedy
was not warranted. Under NLRB case law, a bargaining order remedy would attach
retrospectively to the date when, after a union with a showing of majority
support demanded recognition, Overnite embarked on an unlawful course of
conduct. In the event of such a retroactive effective bargaining order, Overnite
would face back pay liability for losses in employee earnings due to unilateral

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

In March 1998, the Railroad received notice that the Railroad and Clean Harbors,
a waste disposal firm, were the subjects of a criminal investigation by the EPA
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Tank cars containing hazardous waste
billed to Clean Harbors' transload facility in Sterling, Colorado were held in
the Railroad's Sterling, Colorado rail yard for periods longer than ten days
prior to placement in Clean Harbors' facility, allegedly in violation of
hazardous waste regulations. The Railroad is cooperating with the investigation
and has responded to grand jury subpoenas. A finding of violation could result
in significant criminal or civil penalties.

     The Corporation and its affiliates have received notices from the EPA and
state environmental agencies alleging that they are or may be liable under
certain federal or state environmental laws for remediation costs at various
sites throughout the United States, including sites which are on the Superfund
National Priorities List or state superfund lists. Although specific claims have
been made by the EPA and state regulators with respect to some of these sites,
the ultimate impact of these proceedings and suits by third parties cannot be
predicted at this time because of the number of potentially responsible parties
involved, the degree of contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and
quality of volumetric data related to many of the sites, and/or the speculative
nature of remediation costs. Nevertheless, at many of the superfund sites, the
Corporation believes it will have little or no exposure because no liability
should be imposed under applicable law, one or more other financially able
parties generated all or most of the contamination, or a settlement of the
Corporation's exposure has been reached although regulatory proceedings at the
sites involved have not been formally terminated.

     Information concerning environmental claims and contingencies and estimated
attendant remediation costs is set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Other Matters - Environmental
Costs on pages 28 and 29 of the Annual Report. Such information is incorporated
herein by reference.

   4

Committee shall determine the Executives to whom awards are granted under the
Plan and the amounts of awards payable to such Executives out of the Incentive
Reserve Account, and shall otherwise be responsible for the administration and
interpretation of the Plan. The Committee shall supervise and be responsible for
the maintenance of the various accounts under the Plan and for determining the
amounts and, subject to Sections 4.02 and 6.01, the times of payments or
distributions of awards. The Committee may delegate its authority under the Plan

such, shall be considered to be acting in his capacity as a Director of the
Company.

                          3. INCENTIVE RESERVE ACCOUNT

Section 3.01. The Company shall establish an Incentive Reserve Account to which
amounts available for awards to Executives shall be credited and which shall be
debited as such awards are made by the Committee. The Board may cause to be
credited to such Incentive Reserve Account such amount for each Year, beginning
with 1983 during which the Plan remains in effect as it, in its discretion, may
determine provided that the amount so credited for any Year shall not exceed the
following limitation:

         The maximum amount that may be credited to the Incentive Reserve
         Account for any Year is 1.5% of Net Income for such Year when the
         Return on Average Annual Total Stockholders' Equity is 10.0% and is
         3.0% of Net Income for such Year when the Return on Average Annual
         Total Stockholders' Equity is 12.0% or more. At intermediate levels of
         Return on Average Annual Total Stockholders' Equity (between 10.0% and
         12.0%), the maximum percentage of Net Income that may be credited to
         the Incentive Reserve Account for such Year shall increase 0.075% for
         each incremental 0.1% increase in the Return on Average Annual Total
         Stockholders' Equity. Net Income is the consolidated net earnings from
         continuing operations of the Company (before extraordinary items)
         determined in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
         before giving effect to provisions for amounts to be credited to the
         Incentive Reserve Account for such year. Average Annual Total
         Stockholders' Equity is calculated as the average of (i) total
         stockholders' equity, including preferred stock, as shown on the
         consolidated financial statements of the Company at the beginning of
         each year and (ii) total stockholders' equity, including preferred
         stock, as shown on the consolidated financial statements of the Company
         at the end of such year, adjusted in the case of clause (ii) to include
         income from continuing operations before extraordinary items
         (determined in conformity with generally accepted accounting
         principles) and amounts to be credited to the Incentive Reserve Account
         under the Plan for such year.

The amount of Net Income and the percentage Return on Average Annual Total
Stockholders Equity shall be computed and reported to the Board and the
Committee at the end of each Year by the Company. The Committee shall obtain a
report from the Company's independent certified

                                       3
   5

public accountants stating that the computation of the amount credited to the
Incentive Reserve Account at the end of the Plan Year was made in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan and their report shall be final and binding. Any
amounts credited to the Incentive Reserve Account which are not awarded with
respect to such Year may, on direction of the Committee, be awarded in future
Years during which the Plan remains in effect.

                            4. AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN

Section 4.01. Prior to September 30 of each Year, beginning with 1984, an
Executive who has been granted awards under the Plan with respect to prior Years
and who has not previously made an election under the Plan, shall file with the
Committee an initial election on a form prescribed by the Committee for such
purpose specifying the percent in multiples of 10% of any award which may be
granted to him with respect to such Year and later Years to be in the form of an
Immediate Cash Award or a Deferred Award in one or more Investment Accounts.
Deferral and investment elections shall be continuing elections for all awards
under the Plan except that:

         (i) Deferral elections shall be subject to change before September 30
         of any Year on a form prescribed by the Committee for such purpose with
         respect to any awards which may be granted to him for such Year and
         later Years; and

         (ii) an Accountholder, whether or not currently employed by the Company
         or a Subsidiary, may elect to convert the value of his account, if any,
         in any Investment Account to equivalent value accounts in any other
         Investment Accounts as of a Valuation Date, provided that the Committee
         has received such notice of the conversion as the Committee may
         require, and provided further that, unless the Committee shall in its
         sole discretion determine otherwise, an Accountholder may make
         conversions only in such amounts and at such times as are allowable for
         changes in investment elections under the terms of the Union Pacific
         Corporation Thrift Plan. The Committee shall cause such conversions to
         be effected by transferring equivalent amounts from the one such
         account to the other, all as of such Valuation Date; otherwise, such
         deferral and investment elections, and such changes therein, shall be
         irrevocable.

In addition, for awards made with respect to Years beginning with 1982, an
Executive may also specify on a form prescribed by the Committee for such
purpose whether he wishes payment of Deferred Awards to be made on the earlier
of either (i) date or dates certain in any year or years prior to Termination
(but in no event more often than once in each such year or years), such payment
to be in full in cash on such date or dates, or (ii) upon Termination in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.01 through 6.04. Elections made as
to dates for the payment of Deferred Awards shall be subject to change by such
Executive before September 30 of any Year on a form prescribed by the Committee
for such purpose with respect to any awards made for such Year and later Years;
otherwise such elections, and such changes therein, shall be irrevocable.

                                       4
   6

Designation, election or change in election shall not entitle an Executive to
any award for any Year but the form of award, if any, for any Year to such
Executive shall be in accordance with such election. If an Executive has not
been so designated as eligible for Deferred Awards, or an election for Deferred
Awards is not in effect for him, any award granted to him for any Year shall be
in the form of an Immediate Cash Award.

Section 4.02. As soon as practicable after the close of each Year, or in
December of any Year if so determined by the Committee, beginning with 1971, the
Committee may grant awards payable out of the Incentive Reserve Account to such
Executives in such dollar amounts as it in its sole discretion shall determine,
subject to Section 4.03, and the amount of each such award shall be debited to
the Incentive Reserve Account. Except to the extent that Deferred Awards are
elected pursuant to Section 4.01, any award under the Plan granted to an
Executive for any Year shall be paid to him or to his Beneficiary in a lump sum
in cash as promptly as practicable after such award is granted.

Section 4.03. No Covered Executive shall receive an award for any Year in excess
of (i) .25% of Covered Income for such Year, in the case of the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, and (ii) .15% of Covered Income for such Year, in the
case of any other Covered Executive. Covered Executive means an Executive whose
compensation is subject to the limitations on deductibility set forth in Section
162(m) of the Code. Covered Income for a Year is the greater of (a) the
consolidated net earnings from continuing operations of the Company for such
Year, before extraordinary items, special charges and the cumulative effect of
accounting changes, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and (b) such net earnings for the first eleven months of such Year.

                               5. DEFERRED AWARDS

Section 5.01. The Company shall from time to time establish on its books one or
more Investment Accounts. In the case of each Executive, if and when a Deferred
Award is granted to him, the Committee shall credit to an account maintained for
him in one or more Investment Accounts the equivalent amount of such award in
accordance with his election. Each Investment Account shall have such name, and
be charged or credited pursuant to such method, as the Committee shall determine
upon establishment of such Investment Account, provided such method is
consistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code for
performance-based compensation. The Committee may change such names or methods
for any Investment Account, but no such change shall reduce any amount
previously accrued in an Accountholder's account. The Committee shall cause each
Investment Account to be valued as of each Valuation Date by such person or
persons as it in its sole discretion shall determine and such valuation shall be
conclusive for all purposes of the Plan. The value of any Investment Account for
the purpose of making payment of a Deferred Award shall be the value of such
Investment Account as of the Valuation Date last preceding such payment.
Compensation paid in respect of any Investment Account shall result in
corresponding reduction in the value of such accounts. The amounts credited in
Investment Accounts shall represent general liabilities of the Company and shall
not constitute a trust fund or otherwise create any property interest in any
Accountholder or his Beneficiary.

                                       5
   7

Section 5.02. The provisions of Section 5.01 shall be subject to the provisions
of paragraph (1) of Section 7.01.

                    6. PAYMENT OR DELIVERY OF DEFERRED AWARDS

Section 6.01. Upon termination of an Executive, the Committee shall cause cash
in respect of any balances in the accounts maintained for such Executive in any
Investment Account to be paid or delivered to him or his Beneficiary in the sole
discretion of the Committee as follows:

         (i) in a single distribution, an amount in cash equal to the value of
         the accounts maintained for him in all Investment Accounts, all such
         cash being paid in the Year of his Termination or in January of the
         following Year, as determined by the Committee; or,

         (ii) over such number of Years as are fixed by the Committee but not
         exceeding fifteen, in annual installments of an aggregate amount of
         cash equal in value at the time of each installment payment to the
         value of the accounts maintained for him in all Investment Accounts at
         the Valuation Date next preceding payment divided by the remaining
         number of such annual installments, the first of such installments to
         be paid or delivered in the month following the month of his
         Termination, or at the discretion of the Committee not later than 12
         months following the date of Termination and subsequent installments to
         be paid or delivered in January of each subsequent Year; or

         (iii) in the event of retirement or death of a currently employed
         Executive, at a specified future date not to exceed 15 years from the
         date of such retirement or death in a single distribution, an amount of
         cash equal to the value of the accounts maintained for him in all
         Investment Accounts. Income in respect of Investment Accounts would be
         paid in cash quarterly to such Executive or his Beneficiary commencing
         with the first day of the month subsequent to such Executive's
         retirement or death. In the case of retirement, the single distribution
         referred to above will be paid on the date specified or upon death,
         whichever occurs first.

All payments or distributions attributable to each Deferred Award of an
Executive after his Termination shall be made by the Company on its behalf or on
behalf of the Subsidiary or Subsidiaries by which he was employed during the
Year in which such Deferred Award was earned. The Subsidiary shall reimburse the
Company in the amount of such paid Deferred Awards.

Section 6.02. Deferred Awards elected to be paid on a date or dates certain in
any year or years prior to Termination shall be paid to the Executive in full in
cash on such date or dates.

Section 6.03. At any time before or after Termination of an Executive who shall
have elected to receive one or more Deferred Awards, the Committee, if it finds
in its sole discretion that

                                       6
   8

continued deferral of such Awards would result in undue hardship to such
Executive or his Beneficiary, may accelerate and pay in cash all or any part of
such Deferred Award or Deferred Awards by converting the value of the accounts
maintained for him in Investment Accounts into the cash equivalent thereof on
the same basis as if a payment in cash were being made as provided in Section
6.01. On the death of an Executive after his Termination, the Committee, in its
sole discretion, may accelerate one or more installments, and change the form of
payment or distribution in accordance with Section 6.01, of any balance of his
Deferred Awards and, in the event of relevant changes in the Federal income tax
laws, regulations and rulings or on termination of the Plan, the Committee may,
in its sole discretion, so accelerate or change the form of payment or
distribution of any or all Deferred Awards.

Section 6.04. If a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred under the
Union Pacific Key Employee Continuity Plan, then each Executive with an account
maintained for him in an Investment Account shall be entitled to receive, at his
option, in a single distribution on the Valuation Date next following such
Change in Control, an amount of cash equal to the value of the accounts
maintained for him in all Investment Accounts less 10%.

Section 7.01.

(1) Anything in the Plan otherwise to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board
may at any time under such circumstances as it in its sole discretion may
determine, convert all the accounts of Accountholders in the Investment Accounts
into cash credits, with future credits to the accounts of Accountholders being
made solely in cash. Accounts shall be so converted on the basis of the value
thereof as of the last preceding Valuation Date. Any such cash credits to the
accounts of Accountholders shall, after such conversion, solely bear interest
until paid to the Accountholder or his Beneficiary compounded annually at such
annual rate of interest as may be fixed by the Board. The granting and payment
of Deferred Awards in respect of such cash credits shall otherwise be in
accordance with the other provisions of the Plan with such adjustments therein
as the Committee may deem appropriate.

(2) Neither the Plan nor the payment of benefits hereunder nor any action by the
Company, any Subsidiary or the Committee shall be held or construed to confer
upon any person any right to be continued in the employ of the Company or of a
Subsidiary and the Company and each Subsidiary expressly reserves the right to
discharge, without liability, any Executive whenever in its sole discretion its
interest may so require.

(3) No member of the Board or the Board of Directors of any Subsidiary or of the
Committee or any person to whom the Committee has delegated its authority
hereunder shall be liable for any action, or action hereunder, whether of
commission or omission, except in circumstances involving his bad faith, for
anything done or omitted to be done by himself.

                                       7
   9

(4) The Company or any Subsidiary shall not be required to segregate cash for
any Investment Account.

(5) Notwithstanding the fact that an Investment Account may use Company Stock to
determine amounts credited or debited thereto, no Executive shall have voting or
other rights with respect to shares of such Company Stock.

(6) The Company or any Subsidiary shall not, by virtue of any provisions of this
Plan or by any action by any person hereunder, be deemed to be a trustee or
other fiduciary of any property for any Accountholder or any Beneficiary of an
Accountholder and the liabilities of the Company or of any Subsidiary to any
Accountholder or his Beneficiary pursuant to the Plan shall be those of a debtor
only pursuant to such contractual obligations as are created by the Plan, and no
such obligation of the Company or of any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be
secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company or of
any Subsidiary.

(7) Except to the extent of the rights of the Beneficiary of an Accountholder,
no benefit payable under, or interest in, the Plan shall be subject in any
manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance or charge, and any such attempted action shall be void; and no such
benefit or interest shall be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts,
contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any Accountholder, former
Accountholder or his Beneficiary. If any Accountholder, former Accountholder or
Beneficiary shall become bankrupt or shall attempt to anticipate, alienate,
sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any benefit payable under, or
interest in, the Plan, then the Committee in its discretion may hold or apply
such benefit or interest or any part thereof to or for the benefit of such
Accountholder, former Accountholder, or his Beneficiary, his spouse, children,
blood relatives or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner and in such
proportions as the Committee may consider proper.

(8) The Company shall on its behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries withhold
from payment of distribution of the Awards the required amounts of income and
other taxes.

(9) No member of the Committee shall be eligible for an award under the Plan.

(10) All questions pertaining to the construction, regulation, validity and
effect of the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York.

               8. AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

Section 8.01. The Board may from time to time amend, suspend or terminate the
Plan in whole or in part, and, if suspended or terminated, may reinstate any of
or all of its provisions, except that without the consent of the Executive, or,
if he is not living, his Beneficiary, no amendment, suspension or termination of
the Plan shall be made which materially adversely affects his rights with
respect to awards previously made to him and except that the limitations set
forth in Section 3.01 with respect to the amount of awards which may be granted
under the Plan may be

                                       8

Company present, in person or by proxy, at a meeting of such stockholders at
which a quorum is present. In the absence of action by the stockholders of the
Company, no awards shall be made under the Plan with respect to years after the
calendar year 2005 and the Plan shall automatically terminate after all Deferred
Awards made prior thereto shall have been paid or distributed. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no amendment which is material for purposes of the shareholder
approval requirement of Section 162(m) of the Code shall be effective in the
absence of action by the stockholders of the Company.

environment where participating executives of the Company and its Subsidiaries
share in the same risks and rewards as the Company's other shareholders, and

o        providing participating executives of the Company and its Subsidiaries

         stock of the Company coupled with incentive awards based on the
         performance of the Company and its common stock and

7.       LOAN PROVISIONS

(a)      General. The Company shall extend a Purchase Loan to a Participant upon
         exercise of a Purchase Award subject to the terms and conditions set
         forth in this Section 7. The original principal amount of the Purchase
         Loan, which shall be unsecured, shall be equal to the Total Purchase
         Price. Such Purchase Loan shall be evidenced by a Purchase Note with
         full recourse against the Participant as maker of the note. The
         obligations of the Participant under the Purchase Note shall be
         unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the
         foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by
         any change in the existence, structure or ownership of the Company, or
         any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding
         affecting the Company or its assets or the market value of the Common
         Stock or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the
         Company or the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which
         the Participant may have at any time against the Company or any other
         person, whether in connection with the Plan or with any unrelated
         transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion
         of any such claim by separate suit or counterclaim.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, the Company
         shall not be required to make any Purchase Loan to a Participant if the
         making of such Purchase Loan will (i) cause the Company to violate any
         covenant or similar provision in any indenture, loan agreement or other
         agreement, or (ii) violate any applicable federal, state or local law,
         provided, that the failure to make such Purchase Loan shall be deemed
         to revoke the exercise of the related Purchase Award unless otherwise
         specified by the Participant or if the Company is not satisfied with
         the creditworthiness of the Participant.

(b)      Interest. Interest on the principal balance of the Purchase Loan shall
         accrue annually, in arrears, at the Interest Rate.

(c)      Term. The term of the Purchase Loan for any Participant shall begin on
         such Participant's Purchase Date and, subject to prepayment as provided
         in Sections 7(d) and 7(e), have a final maturity date of January 31,
         2006. The Remaining Balance of the Purchase Loan shall be payable in
         three equal annual installments on January 31, 2004, January 31, 2005
         and January 31, 2006, with the interest accruing (offset by Applied
         Dividends, if Criterion #1 was not achieved during the Performance
         Period) on the unpaid Remaining Balance payable annually, in arrears,
         on each such January 31.

(d)      Prepayments Not Related to Termination of Service.

         (i)      Dividends. To the extent the Participant is entitled to
                  regular cash dividends on Common Stock purchased under the
                  Plan, until the earlier of the achievement of Performance
                  Criterion #1 or payment in full of the Purchase Loan
                  (including accrued and unpaid interest), such dividends shall
                  be delivered by the Company's stock transfer agent to the
                  Company to offset (wholly or partially) the accrued interest
                  on

                                       5
   6

                  the Purchase Loan, pursuant to an irrevocable written
                  direction given by the Participant. Upon and after the
                  achievement of Performance Criterion #1, all such dividends
                  shall be paid directly to the Participant. If, prior to the
                  achievement of Performance Criterion #1, the Participant is
                  entitled to regular cash dividends which exceed the accrued
                  interest on the Purchase Loan, such excess shall be paid
                  directly to the Participant.

         (ii)     Cash Payments with respect to Combination Deferred Award. In
                  the event a Participant (or the estate of a deceased
                  Participant) receives any cash payments with respect to the
                  Participant's Deferred Performance Awards or Deferred Service
                  Incentive Award or any cash payments made by the Company under
                  Section 8(h)(i) after the earlier of (i) Termination of
                  Service due to death or (ii) the end of the Performance
                  Period, the Participant (or the Participant's estate) shall
                  immediately (partially or wholly) prepay the principal balance
                  of the Purchase Loan (or the accrued and unpaid interest
                  thereon in the case of a cash payment with respect to Deferred
                  Performance Award #1), to the extent, if any, that such
                  principal balance (or such interest in the case of a cash
                  payment with respect to Deferred Performance Award #1) remains
                  unpaid at such time, with an amount equal to the full amount
                  of all such cash payments upon receipt thereof.

         (iii)    Optional Prepayments. Any Participant (or the estate of a
                  deceased Participant) may prepay all of the Purchase Loan
                  (including accrued and unpaid interest) at any time, but
                  partial prepayments shall not be permitted.

(e)      Prepayment Obligations Related to Termination of Service. In the event
         of a Participant's Termination of Service because of death, any
         outstanding balance (including accrued and unpaid interest) of the
         Purchase Loan shall be due and payable in full six months from the date
         of the Participant's death. In the event of a Participant's Termination
         of Service for any reason other than death, any outstanding balance
         (including accrued and unpaid interest) of the Purchase Loan shall be
         due and payable in full on the later of (i) the 90th day following such
         Termination of Service or (ii) the 90th day following the first date on
         which the Participant may sell the Common Stock purchased under the
         Plan without incurring liability under the federal securities laws,
         including Section 16 of the 1934 Act (limited, in the case of Section
         16, to liability relating to purchases or sale of Common Stock or any
         derivative security occurring prior to the Termination of Service). If
         (i) a Participant's Termination of Service is due to death during the
         Performance Period or an involuntary Termination of Service without
         Cause during the Performance Period, (ii) on the date the outstanding
         balance of the Purchase Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to this
         Section 7(e), the aggregate Market Price of the Shares acquired under
         the Participant's Purchase Award is less than the sum of (x) the
         outstanding balance of the Purchase Loan (including accrued and unpaid
         interest) on such date, as reduced by any prepayment made pursuant to
         Section 7(d), and (y) the income and employment tax liability resulting
         from any cash payments with respect to the Combination Deferred Award,
         and (iii) if all Shares so acquired are still held by the Participant
         (or the Participant's estate), then, on such date (if so requested by
         the Participant or the Participant's estate) the Company shall accept
         from the Participant (or the Participant's estate) the surrender of all
         Shares so acquired by the Participant in full satisfaction of the

8.       COMBINATION DEFERRED AWARD - DESCRIPTION, PAYMENT AND FORFEITURE

(a)      Combination Deferred Award. Upon any Participant's exercise of the
         Participant's Purchase Award, the Company shall grant the Participant a
         Combination Deferred Award, consisting of Deferred Performance Award
         #1, Deferred Performance Award #2, Deferred Performance Award #3 and
         Deferred Service Incentive Award, subject to the terms and conditions
         set forth in this Section 8. Any payment with respect to a
         Participant's Combination Deferred Award shall be made by the Company
         on its behalf and/or on behalf of the Subsidiary by which the
         Participant was employed on the Designated Payment Date. Any Subsidiary
         which so employed the Participant shall reimburse the Company for such
         payment. No payment shall be made by the Company with respect to any
         Participant's Combination Deferred Award until the Participant has made
         arrangements with respect to any federal, state or local tax
         withholding requirements applicable to such payment which are
         satisfactory to the Company.

(b)      Deferred Performance Award #1. In the event that Criterion #1 is
         achieved, each Participant then holding a Deferred Performance Award #1
         shall become entitled to a deferred cash payment with respect thereto,
         subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8. On the
         Designated Payment Date, the Company shall pay to the Participant, with
         respect to Deferred Performance Award #1, a cash amount equal to the
         interest accrued and remaining unpaid on the Purchase Loan (after any
         application of Applied Dividends) as of the Designated Payment Date.
         Further, if Criterion #1 has been achieved during the Performance
         Period, but accrued interest on the Purchase Loan is payable on January
         31, 2004, January 31, 2005 and /or January 31, 2006 pursuant to Section
         7(c), then, on each such date, the Company shall pay to the
         Participant, with respect to Deferred Performance Award #1, a cash
         amount equal to the interest becoming payable on such date.

(c)      Deferred Performance Award #2. In the event that Criterion #2 is
         achieved, each Participant then holding a Deferred Performance Award #2
         shall become entitled to a deferred cash payment with respect thereto,
         subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8. On the
         Designated Payment Date, the Company shall pay to the Participant, with
         respect to Deferred Performance Award #2, a cash amount equal to
         one-third of the outstanding principal balance of the Purchase Loan as
         of the Designated Payment Date.

(d)      Deferred Performance Award #3. In the event that Criterion #3 is
         achieved, each Participant then holding a Deferred Performance Award #3
         shall become entitled to a deferred cash payment with respect thereto,
         subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8. On the
         Designated Payment Date, the Company shall pay to the Participant, with
         respect to Deferred Performance Award #3, a cash amount equal to
         one-third of the outstanding principal balance of the Purchase Loan as
         of the Designated Payment Date.

(e)      Deferred Service Incentive Award. If the Service of a Participant who
         holds a Deferred Service Incentive Award is continuous from the
         Effective Date to the end of the Performance Period, the Participant
         shall become entitled to a deferred cash payment with respect to such
         award, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.
         On the Designated Payment Date, the Company shall pay to the
         Participant, with respect to the Deferred Service Incentive Award, a
         cash amount equal to one-third of the outstanding principal balance of
         the Purchase Loan as of the Designated Payment Date.

(f)      Forfeiture of Combination Deferred Award Upon Certain Sales of Shares
         and Certain Prepayments of Purchase Loan. Notwithstanding any other
         provision of this Section 8, a Participant's Combination Deferred Award
         shall be immediately forfeited if the Participant, during the
         Performance Period, either (i) sells any Shares acquired under a
         Purchase Award or (ii) makes an optional prepayment on the Purchase
         Loan described in Section 7(d)(iii). A transfer of a Participant's
         Shares to a revocable trust as to which the Participant retains voting
         and investment power (which powers of revocation, voting and investment
         may be shared with the Participant's spouse) or a transfer to joint
         ownership with such Participant's spouse shall not be deemed a sale for
         purposes of this Section 8(f) and, solely for the purposes of this
         Plan, such Shares shall be deemed to be owned by the Participant.

(g)      Application of Payments Made Pursuant to Section 8. Notwithstanding any
         other provision of this Section 8, an amount equal to the full amount
         of any payment made by the Company pursuant to this Section 8 with
         respect to a Deferred Performance Award and/or Deferred Service
         Incentive Award shall be immediately applied in accordance with Section
         7(d)(ii) to prepay (partially or wholly) the principal balance of the
         Purchase Loan (or the accrued and unpaid interest thereon in the case
         of a cash payment with respect to Deferred Performance Award #1), to
         the extent, if any, that such principal balance (or such interest in
         the case of a cash payment with respect to Deferred Performance Award
         #1) remains unpaid on the Designated Payment Date.

(h)      Change in Control. Upon an occurrence of a Change in Control (as
         defined in the Union Pacific Corporation Key Employee Continuity Plan,
         as amended from time to time (the "Continuity Plan")), all Performance
         Criteria shall be deemed to have been satisfied. If, on or after the
         occurrence of a Change in Control and prior to February 1, 2003, a
         Participant's employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company
         (other than for Cause, as defined in the Continuity Plan) or a
         Participant terminates his or her employment for Good Reason (as
         defined in the Continuity Plan), then such Participant shall be
         entitled to a cash payment (to be made within ninety (90) days
         following the date of termination but in no event later than the
         Designated Payment Date) with respect to (i) the Deferred Service
         Incentive Award calculated as if the Participant's Service had
         continued though the end of the Performance Period and (ii) the
         Deferred Performance Award.

(i)      Treatment of a Termination of Service.

         (i)      Upon a Participant's Termination of Service during the
                  Performance Period for any reason except death, the
                  Participant shall forfeit the Combination Deferred Award. Upon
                  a Participant's Termination of Service during the Performance
                  Period due to death, unless the Participant shall have
                  previously forfeited the Combination Deferred Award pursuant
                  to Section 8(f), the Participant's estate shall be entitled to
                  a cash payment with respect to (i) the Deferred Service
                  Incentive Award calculated as if the Participant's Service had
                  continued through the end of the Performance Period and (ii)
                  any Deferred Performance Award as to which the related
                  Performance Criterion has been achieved before the
                  Participant's death. On the Designated Payment Date, the
                  Company shall pay, to the deceased Participant's estate, the
                  cash amount provided

                                       8
   9

                  in this Section 8 with regard to each award described in the
                  immediately preceding sentence.

         (ii)     If a Participant's Termination of Service is due to death
                  during the Performance Period or an involuntary Termination of
                  Service without Cause during the Performance Period and the
                  Company accepts Shares acquired pursuant to the Participant's
                  Purchase Award in full satisfaction of the Purchase Loan in
                  accordance with the last sentence of Section 7(e), then, no
                  later than the fifth business day following such acceptance,
                  the Company shall pay to the Participant (or the Participant's
                  estate) the cash amount necessary for the reimbursement of any
                  income and employment taxes payable by the Participant (or the
                  Participant's estate) as a result of (i) the acceptance by the
                  Company of such Shares in satisfaction of the Purchase Loan,
                  (ii) any payment made with respect to the Combination Deferred
                  Award and (iii) the reimbursement payment made pursuant to
                  this Section 8(h)(ii).

9.       SPECIAL DEFERRED AWARD

(a)      Upon any Participant's exercise of the Participant's Purchase Award,
         the Company shall grant the Participant a Special Deferred Award,
         subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 9. Any
         payment with respect to a Participant's Special Deferred Award shall be
         made by the Company on its behalf and/or on behalf of the Subsidiary by
         which the Participant was employed on the Designated Payment Date. Any
         Subsidiary which so employed the Participant shall reimburse the
         Company for such payment.

(b)      In the event that the Special Criterion is achieved, each Participant
         then holding a Special Deferred Award shall be entitled to be
         reimbursed by the Company on the Designated Payment Date for the
         federal income tax payable on the amounts paid with respect to a
         Combination Deferred Award pursuant to Section 8, subject to the terms
         and conditions set forth in this Section 9. Such reimbursement shall be
         computed using the maximum marginal rate for ordinary taxable income in
         effect on the Designated Payment Date. The reimbursement for federal
         income tax under this Section 9 shall not itself be grossed up for any
         federal income tax payable as a result of this reimbursement.

(c)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, a Participant's
         Special Deferred Award shall be immediately forfeited if the
         Participant, during the Performance Period, either (i) sells any Shares
         acquired under a Purchase Award or (ii) makes an optional prepayment on
         the Purchase Loan described in Section 7(d)(iii). A transfer of a
         Participant's Shares to a revocable trust as to which the Participant
         retains voting and investment power (which powers of revocation, voting
         and investment may be shared with the Participant's spouse) or a
         transfer to joint ownership with such Participant's spouse shall not be
         deemed a sale for purposes of this Section 9(iii) and, solely for the
         purposes of this Plan, such Shares shall be deemed to be owned by the
         Participant.

(d)      Termination of Service.

         Upon a Participant's Termination of Service during the Performance
         Period for any reason except death, the Participant shall forfeit the
         Special Deferred Award. Upon a Participant's Termination of Service
         during the Performance Period due to death, unless the Participant
         shall have previously forfeited the Special Deferred Award pursuant to
         Section 9(c), the

                                       9
   10

         Participant's estate shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Company
         an amount calculated in accordance with Section 9(b) if the related
         Special Criterion has been achieved before the Participant's death. On
         the Designated Payment Date, the Company shall reimburse the deceased
         Participant's estate the amount provided in this Section 9 with regard
         to the Special Deferred Award described in the immediately preceding
         sentence.

10.      PLAN ADMINISTRATION

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. If at any time no Committee
shall be in office, the functions of the Committee specified in the Plan shall
be exercised by the "disinterested directors" on the Board (as defined in Rule
16b-3(c)(2) under the 1934 Act). Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee shall interpret the Plan and make such rules as it deems necessary for
the proper administration of the Plan, shall make all other determinations
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan and shall correct any
defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in the
manner and to the extent that the Committee deems desirable to carry the Plan
into effect. Among other things, the Committee shall have the authority, subject
to the terms of the Plan, to determine (i) the individuals to whom the Purchase
Awards are granted, (ii) the time or times the Purchase Awards are granted,
(iii) the Purchase Dates for such Purchase Awards, (iv) the basis for any
Termination of Service, including whether or not it was for Cause or otherwise,
(v) the forms, terms and provisions of any documents under the Plan, including
amending or modifying the terms of the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, in
the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or
exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off or any other change in the
corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Committee may make such
adjustments as it deems appropriate in the Performance Criteria and other terms
of the Plan. Any action taken or determination made by the Committee pursuant to
this paragraph and the other paragraphs of the Plan in which the Committee is
given discretion shall be final and conclusive on all parties. The act or
determination of a majority of the Committee shall be deemed to be the act or
determination of the entire Committee. The Committee may consult with counsel,
who may be counsel to the Company, and such other advisors as the Committee may
deem necessary and/or desirable, and the members of the Committee shall not
incur any liability for any action taken in good faith in reliance upon the
advice of counsel or any other advisor.

11.      AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE OF THE PLAN

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Committee, may amend, suspend or
terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the provisions of this Section 11. No
amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may, without the consent of a
Participant, adversely affect such Participant's rights under the Plan in any
material respect.

12.      MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

(a)      Unsecured Status of Claim. Participants and their beneficiaries, heirs,
         successors and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights,
         interests or claims in any specific property or assets of the Company.
         No assets of the Company shall be held under any trust for the benefit
         of Participants, their beneficiaries, heirs, successors or assigns, or
         held in any way as collateral security for the fulfillment of the
         Company's obligations under the Plan.

         Any and all of the Company's assets shall be, and shall remain, the
         general unpledged and unrestricted assets of the Company. The Company's
         obligations under the Plan shall be

                                       10
   11

         merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay
         employee compensation benefits in the future.

(b)      Employment Not Guaranteed. Nothing contained in the Plan nor any action
         taken in the administration of the Plan shall be construed as a
         contract of employment or as giving a Participant any right to be
         retained in the Service of the Company.

(c)      Nonassignability. No person shall have any right to commute, sell,
         assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber,
         hypothecate or convey in advance of actual receipt the deferred cash
         incentive, if any, payable under the Plan, or any part thereof, or any
         interest therein, which are, and all rights to which are, expressly
         declared to be unassignable and nontransferable. No portion of the
         amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure,
         attachment, lien or sequestration for the payment of any debts,
         judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any
         other person, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of
         the Participant's or any other person's bankruptcy or insolvency. Any
         such transfer or attempted transfer in violation of the preceding
         provisions shall be considered null and void. In addition, no
         derivative security (as defined in Rule 16a-1(c), as promulgated by the
         Commission under the 1934 Act, or any successor definition adopted by
         the Commission) issued under the Plan shall be transferable by a
         Participant (to the extent transferable under the Plan) other than by
         will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified
         domestic relations order as defined by the Code, or Title I of the
         Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or the rules
         promulgated thereunder.

(d)      Separability, Validity. Transactions under this Plan are intended to
         qualify under Rule 16b-3 of the 1934 Act. If any of the terms or
         provisions of this Plan conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3,
         then such terms and provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the
         extent they so conflict with such requirements. In the event that any
         provision of the Plan is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
         same shall not affect, in any respect whatsoever, the validity of any
         other provision of the Plan.

(e)      Withholding Tax. The Company shall, on its behalf and on behalf of its
         Subsidiaries, withhold from all benefits due under the Plan an amount
         sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local tax withholding
         requirements; provided, however, that each Participant shall make
         arrangements satisfactory to the Company with respect to any such
         withholding requirements applicable to the payments provided in Section
         8 with respect to the Participant's Combination Deferred Award prior to
         the making of such payments and any such withholding requirements
         applicable to any acceptance by the Company of Shares in satisfaction
         of a Participant's Purchase Loan pursuant to Section 7(e) prior to such
         acceptance.

(f)      Applicable Law. The Plan shall be governed in accordance with the laws
         of the State of Utah without regard to the application of the conflicts
         of law provisions thereof. The obligation of the Company with respect
         to the grant and exercise of Purchase Awards shall be subject to all
         applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any
         governmental agencies as may be required, including, without
         limitation, the effectiveness of any registration statement required
         under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
         regulations of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock may be
         listed.

(g)      Inurement of Rights and Obligations. The rights and obligations under
         the Plan shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the
         Company, its successors and assigns, and the Participants and their
         beneficiaries.

(h)      Notice. All notices and other communications required or permitted to
         be given under this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
         have been duly given if delivered personally or mailed first class,
         postage prepaid, as follows: (A) if to the Company--at its principal
         business address to the attention of the Secretary; (B) if to any
         Participant--at the last address of the Participant known to the sender
         at the time the notice or other communication is sent.

(i)      Exclusion from Pension and other Benefit Plan Computation. By exercise
         of a Purchase Award, each Participant shall be deemed to have agreed
         that such Purchase Award and any amounts paid with respect to a
         Deferred Performance Award or a Deferred Service Incentive Award under
         Section 8, as applicable, or with respect to a Special Deferred Award
         under Section 9, are special incentive compensation that will not be
         taken into account, in any manner, as salary, compensation or bonus in
         determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement or
         other employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
         In addition, the estate and each beneficiary of a deceased Participant
         shall be deemed to have agreed that such Purchase Award and any
         Deferred Performance Award, Deferred Service Incentive Award or Special
         Deferred Award, as applicable, will not affect the amount of any life
         insurance coverage, if any, provided by the Company or any of its
         Subsidiaries on the life of the Participant which is payable to such
         estate or beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees
         of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

         The purpose of the 1988 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan of Union
Pacific Corporation (the "Plan") is to promote the interests of Union Pacific
Corporation (the "Company") and its shareholders by strengthening its ability to
attract and retain officers and key employees in the employ of the Company or of
any subsidiary of the Company by furnishing additional incentives whereby such
present and future officers and key employees may be encouraged to acquire, or

in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below. Unless otherwise
required by the context, the term "option" shall refer to non-qualified options,
incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights.

2.       ADMINISTRATION.

         The Plan shall be administered by a Stock Option Committee (the
"Committee"), to be designated by the Board of Directors of the Company and to
be comprised of not less than three members of the Board of Directors who are
not eligible to participate under the Plan. Members of the Committee shall be
appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors for such terms as it shall
determine, and may be removed by the Board at any time with or without cause.
The Committee shall have complete authority to construe and interpret the Plan,
to establish, amend and rescind appropriate rules and regulations relating to
the Plan, to select persons eligible to participate in the Plan, to grant
options and Restricted Shares thereunder, to administer the Plan, to make
recommendations to the Board, and to take all such steps and make all such
determinations in connection with the Plan and the options and Restricted Shares
granted thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. All determinations of
the Committee shall be by a majority of its members, and its determinations
shall be final. Each member of the Committee, while serving as such, shall be
considered to be acting in his capacity as a Director of the Company. Each
eligible employee (as defined below) to whom an option or Restricted Shares is
granted is hereinafter referred to as the "Optionee" or the "Participant",
respectively. The granting of an option or Restricted Shares pursuant to the
Plan shall take place when the Committee by resolution, written consent or other
appropriate action determines to grant such an option to an Optionee at a
particular price or such Restricted Shares to a Participant. Each Option or
grant of Restricted Shares shall, if required by the Committee, be evidenced by
a written agreement to be duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the
Company and the Optionee or Participant, respectively, and contain provisions
not inconsistent with the Plan.

3.       ELIGIBILITY.

         To be eligible for selection by the Committee to participate in the
Plan an individual must be an officer or key employee of the Company, or of any
subsidiary of the Company, as of the date on which the Committee grants to such
individual an option or Restricted Shares (hereinafter collectively referred to
as "eligible employees"). Those Directors who are not full-time salaried
officers or employees shall not be eligible. Subject to the provisions of this
Plan, options or Restricted Shares may be granted to eligible employees in such
number and at such times during the term of this Plan as the Committee shall
determine, the Committee taking into account the duties of the respective
employees, their present and potential contributions to the success of the
Company, and such other factors as the Committee shall deem relevant in
connection with accomplishing the purpose of the Plan.

4.       STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, the maximum number and
kind of shares as to which options or Restricted Shares may at any time be
granted under the Plan are 8,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company of
the par value of $2.50 per share ("Common Stock") of which shares no more than
400,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued as grants of Restricted Shares
under the Plan. Shares of Common Stock subject to options or granted as
Restricted Shares under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Board of
Directors of the Company, be either authorized but unissued shares or shares
previously issued and reacquired by the Company. Upon the expiration,
termination or cancellation (in whole or in part) of unexercised options, shares
of Common Stock subject thereto shall again be available for option or grant as
Restricted Shares under the Plan. Shares of Common Stock covered by an option,
or portion thereof, which is surrendered upon the exercise of a stock
appreciation right, shall thereafter be unavailable for option or grant as
Restricted Shares under the Plan. Upon the forfeiture (in whole or in part) of a
grant of Restricted Shares, the shares of Common Stock subject to such
forfeiture shall again be available for option or grant as Restricted Shares
under the Plan.

5.       TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS.

         All non-qualified options under the Plan shall be granted subject to
the following terms and conditions:

         (a) Option Price. The option price per share with respect to each
option shall be determined by the Committee but shall not be less than 100% of
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted,
such fair market value to be determined in accordance with the procedures to be
established by the Committee.

         (b) Duration of Options. Options shall be exercisable at such times and
under such conditions as set forth in the written agreement evidencing such
option, but in no event shall any option be exercisable subsequent to the tenth
anniversary of the date on which the option is granted.

                                       2
   4

         (c) Exercise of Option. The shares of Common Stock covered by an option
may not be purchased prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the
option is granted (unless the Committee shall determine otherwise), or such
longer period as the Committee may determine in a particular case, but
thereafter may be purchased at one time or in such installments over the balance
of the option period as may be provided in the option. Any shares not purchased
on the applicable installment date may be purchased thereafter at any time prior
to the final expiration of the option. To the extent that the right to purchase
shares has accrued thereunder, options may be exercised from time to time by
notice to the Company stating the number of shares with respect to which the
option is being exercised.

         (d) Payment. Shares of Common Stock purchased under options shall, at
the time of purchase, be paid for in full. All, or any portion, of the option
exercise price may, at the discretion of the Committee, be paid by the surrender
to the Company, at the time of exercise, of shares of previously acquired Common
Stock owned by the Optionee, to the extent that such payment does not require
the surrender of a fractional share of such previously acquired Common Stock. In
addition, to the extent permitted by the Committee, the option exercise price
may be paid by authorizing the Company to withhold Common Stock otherwise
issuable upon exercise of the option. Such shares previously acquired or shares
withheld to pay the option exercise price shall be valued at fair market value
on the date the option is exercised in accordance with the procedures to be
established by the Committee. No shares shall be issued or delivered until full
payment therefor has been made. A holder of an option shall have none of the
rights of a stockholder until the shares of Common Stock are issued to him. If
an amount is payable by an Optionee to the Company under applicable income tax
laws in connection with the exercise of non-qualified options, the Committee
may, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt, permit the
Optionee to make such payment, in whole or in part, by electing to authorize the
Company to withhold or accept shares of Common Stock having a fair market value
equal to the amount to be paid under such income tax laws.

         (e) Restrictions. The Committee shall determine, with respect to each
option, the nature and extent of the restrictions, if any, to be imposed on the
shares of Common Stock which may be purchased thereunder including restrictions
on the transferability of such shares acquired through the exercise of such
option. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may
impose conditions restricting absolutely the transferability of shares acquired
through the exercise of options for such periods as the Committee may determine
and, further, that in the event the Optionee's employment by the Company or a
subsidiary terminates during the period in which such shares are
non-transferable, the Optionee shall be required to sell such shares back to the
Company at such price as the Committee may specify in the option.

         (f) Purchase for Investment. The Committee shall have the right to
require that each Optionee or other person who shall exercise an option under
the Plan, and each person into whose name shares of Common Stock shall be
issued, pursuant to the exercise of an option, jointly with that of any
Optionee, represent and agree that any and all shares of Common Stock of the
Company purchased pursuant to such option will be purchased for investment and
not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof or that such shares will
not be sold except in accordance with such restrictions or limitations as may be
set forth in the written agreement granting such option; provided, however, that
the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph (f) shall be

                                       3
   5

inoperative during any period of time when the Company has obtained all
necessary or advisable approvals from any governmental agency and has completed
all necessary or advisable registrations or other qualification of shares of
Common Stock as to which options may from time to time be granted, all as
contemplated by Section 9 hereof.

         (g) Non-Transferability of Options. During an Optionee's lifetime, the
option may be exercised only by him. Options shall not be transferable, except
for exercise by the Optionee's legal representatives or beneficiaries.

         (h) Termination of Employment. Upon the termination of an Optionee's
employment, for any reason other than death, then, except as provided below, the
option shall be exercisable only as to those shares of Common Stock which were
then subject to the exercise of such option (unless the Committee shall
determine in a specific case that particular limitations and restrictions under
the Plan shall not apply) and such option shall expire according to the
following schedule:

                  (i)      Retirement. Option shall expire, unless exercised,
                           five (5) years after the Optionee's retirement from
                           the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under
                           the provisions of the Company's or a subsidiary's
                           pension plans.

                  (ii)     Disability. Option shall expire, unless exercised,
                           five (5) years after the date the Optionee is
                           eligible to receive disability benefits under the
                           provisions of the Company's or a subsidiary's
                           long-term disability plan.

                  (iii)    Disposition of Business. In the case of a termination
                           resulting from the disposition by the Company or any
                           of its subsidiaries of all or a part of its interest
                           in, or the discontinuance of a business of, a
                           subsidiary, division or other business unit, the
                           option shall expire, unless exercised, five (5) years
                           after the date of termination;

                  (iv)     Force Reduction Program. In the case of termination
                           (other than retirement) resulting from a force
                           reduction program instituted by the Company or any of
                           its Subsidiaries, the option shall expire, unless
                           exercised, at the later of (A) three (3) years from
                           the date of termination, or (B) the earlier of (x)
                           three (3) years from the date the option becomes
                           exercisable and (y) five (5) years from the date of
                           termination.

                  (v)      Gross Misconduct. Option shall expire upon receipt by
                           Optionee of the notice of termination if he is
                           terminated for deliberate, willful or gross
                           misconduct as determined by the Company.

                  (vi)     Change in Control. In the event an Optionee's
                           employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company
                           (other than termination as a result of disability or
                           gross misconduct, but including a termination
                           described in subsection (iii) and (iv) above) within
                           two years following a Change in Control (as defined
                           in the Union Pacific Corporation Key Employee

                                       4
   6

                           Continuity Plan), all options shall remain
                           exercisable for a period of three (3) years following
                           such termination (or five (5) years following such
                           termination in the case of a termination described in
                           subsection (i), (iii) or (iv) above) but in no event
                           after the expiration of the option, and the option
                           shall expire thereafter.

                  (vii)    All Other Terminations. Option shall expire, unless
                           exercised, three (3) months after the date of such
                           termination.

         (i) Death of Optionee. Upon the death of an Optionee during his period
of employment, his option shall be exercisable only as to those shares of Common
Stock which were subject to the exercise of such option at the time of his death
(unless the Committee shall determine in a specific case that particular
limitations and restrictions under the Plan shall not apply) and such option
shall expire, unless exercised by his legal representatives or beneficiaries,
five (5) years after the date of his death.

         (j) The Committee may permit an Optionee to elect to defer receipt of
all or part of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of an option,
pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the Committee. The Committee may
permit the payment of cash in lieu of Common Stock upon payment of the deferred
amount.

In no event, however, shall any option be exercisable pursuant to Sections 5(h)
and (i) subsequent to the tenth anniversary of the date on which it is granted.

6.       TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

         (a) General. The Committee may also grant a stock appreciation right in
connection with a non-qualified option, either at the time of grant or by
amendment. Such stock appreciation right shall cover the same shares covered by
such option (or such lesser number of shares of Common Stock as the Committee
may determine) and shall, except for the provisions of Section 5(d) hereof, be
subject to the same terms and conditions as the related non-qualified option.

         (b) Exercise and Payment. Each stock appreciation right shall entitle
the Optionee to surrender to the Company unexercised the related option, or any
portion thereof, and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount
equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of Common Stock over
the option price per share times the number of shares covered by the option, or
portion thereof, which is surrendered. Payment shall be made in shares of Common
Stock valued at fair market value, or in cash, or partly in shares and partly in
cash, all as shall be determined by the Committee. The fair market value shall
be the value determined in accordance with procedures established by the
Committee. Stock appreciation rights may be exercised from time to time upon
actual receipt by the Company of written notice stating the number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which the stock appreciation right is being
exercised. No fractional shares shall be issued but instead cash shall be paid
for a fraction or, if the Committee should so determine, the number of shares
shall be rounded downward to the next whole share. If an amount is payable by an
Optionee to the Company under applicable income tax laws in connection with
exercises of stock appreciation rights, the Committee may, in its

                                       5
   7

discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt, permit the Optionee to
make such payment, in whole or in part, by electing to authorize the Company to
withhold or accept shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to
the amount to be paid under such income tax laws.

         (c) Restrictions. The obligation of the Company to satisfy any stock
appreciation right exercised by an Optionee subject to Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shall be conditioned upon the prior
receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel to the Company that any such
satisfaction will not create an obligation on the part of such Optionee pursuant
to Section 16(b) of such Act to reimburse the Company for any statutory profit
which might be held to result from such satisfaction.

7.       TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.

         (a) General. The Committee may also grant incentive stock options as
defined under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). All incentive stock options issued under the Plan shall, except for the
provisions of Sections 5(h) and (i) and Section 6 hereof, be subject to the same
terms and conditions as the non-qualified options granted under the Plan
provided that the third sentence of Section 5(d) shall not apply to incentive
stock options granted prior to February 1, 1992. In addition, incentive stock
options shall be subject to the conditions of Sections 7(b), (c) and (d).

         (b) Limitation of Exercise. The aggregate fair market value (determined
as of the date the incentive stock option is granted) of the shares of stock
with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time
by such Optionee during any calendar year, under this Plan or any other stock
option plans adopted by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any predecessor
companies thereof, shall not exceed $100,000.

         (c) Termination of Employment. Upon the termination of an Optionee's
employment, for any reason other than death, his incentive stock option shall be
exercisable only as to those shares of Common Stock which were then subject to
the exercise of such option (unless the Committee shall determine in a specific
case that particular limitations and restrictions under the Plan shall not
apply), and such option shall expire as an incentive stock option (but shall
remain a non-qualified option exercisable pursuant to the terms of Section 5
hereof less the time period already elapsed under such Section), according to
the following schedule:

                  (i)      Retirement. An incentive stock option shall expire,
                           unless exercised, three (3) months after the
                           Optionee's retirement from the Company or any
                           Subsidiary of the Company under the provisions of the
                           Company's or a subsidiary's pension plans.

                  (ii)     Disability. In the case of an Optionee who is
                           disabled within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of
                           the Code, an incentive stock option shall expire,
                           unless exercised, twelve (12) months after the date
                           the Optionee terminates employment or the date the
                           Optionee is eligible to receive

                                       6
   8

                           disability benefits under the provisions of the
                           Company's or a subsidiary's long-term disability
                           plan, whichever is earlier.

                  (iii)    Gross Misconduct. An incentive stock option shall
                           expire upon receipt by an Optionee of the notice of
                           termination if he is terminated for deliberate,
                           willful or gross misconduct as determined by the
                           Company.

                  (iv)     All Other Terminations. An incentive stock option
                           shall expire, unless exercised, three (3) months
                           after the date of such termination.

         In the case of incentive stock options granted after April 24, 1997,
the Committee may extend the period during which an incentive stock option may
be exercised as a non-qualified stock option to up to three (3) years from the
date of a termination not due to retirement, disability or gross misconduct or,
if later, three (3) years from the date the option becomes exercisable but not
more than five years after the date of such a termination.

         (d) Death of Optionee. Upon the death of an Optionee during his period
of employment, his incentive stock option shall be exercisable as an incentive
stock option only as to those shares of Common Stock which were subject to the
exercise of such option at the time of his death (unless the Committee shall
determine in a specific case that particular limitations and restrictions under
the Plan shall not apply), and such option shall expire, unless exercised by his
legal representatives or beneficiaries, five (5) years after the date of his
death.

In no event, however, shall any incentive stock option be exercisable pursuant
to Sections 7(c) and (d) subsequent to the tenth anniversary of the date on
which it was granted.

8.       TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED SHARES.

         (a) General. With respect to each grant of Restricted Shares under the
Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the period during
which the restrictions set forth in Section 8(b) shall apply to such Restricted
Shares (the "Restricted Period"). The Restricted Period shall not be less than
36 nor more than 60 consecutive months commencing with the first day of the
month in which the Restricted Shares are granted. Subject to the provisions of
Section 8(c), a grant of Restricted Shares shall be effective for the Restricted
Period and may not be revoked. Approved leaves of absence of one year or less
shall not be deemed terminations or interruptions in continuous service under
this Section 8. Leaves of absence of more than one year will be deemed to be
terminations under this Section unless the Committee determines otherwise.

         (b) Restrictions. At the time of grant of Restricted Shares to a
Participant, a certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock
granted shall be registered in his name but shall be held by the Company for the
account of the Participant. The Participant shall have the entire beneficial
ownership interest in, and all rights and privileges of a stockholder as to,
such Restricted Shares, including the right to receive dividends and the right
to vote such Restricted Shares, subject to the following restrictions: (i)
subject to Section 8(c) hereof, the Participant shall not be entitled to
delivery of the stock certificate until the expiration of the

                                       7
   9

Restricted Period; (ii) none of the Restricted Shares may be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the Restricted
Period; and (iii) all of the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and all rights
of the Participant to such Restricted Shares shall terminate without further
obligation on the part of the Company unless the Participant remains in the
continuous employment of the Company or a Subsidiary for the entire Restricted
Period in relation to which such Restricted Shares were granted, except as
provided by Section 8(c) hereof. Any shares of Common Stock received as a result
of a transaction listed in Section 10 hereof shall be subject to the same
restrictions as such Restricted Shares unless the Committee shall determine
otherwise.

         (c) Termination of Employment.

                  (i)      Disability and Retirement. If a Participant ceases to
                           be an employee of the Company or a subsidiary prior
                           to the end of a Restricted Period by reason of
                           disability (as defined in Section 5(h)(ii) hereof) or
                           retirement (as defined in Section 5(h)(i) hereof),
                           the number of Restricted Shares granted to such
                           Participant for such Restricted Period shall be
                           reduced in proportion to the Restricted Period
                           (determined on a monthly basis) remaining after the
                           Participant ceases to be an employee and all
                           restrictions on such reduced number of shares shall
                           lapse. A certificate for such shares shall be
                           delivered to the Participant in accordance with the
                           provisions of Section 8(d) hereof. The Committee may,
                           if it deems appropriate, direct that the Participant
                           receive a greater number of shares of Common Stock
                           free of all restrictions but not exceeding the number
                           of Restricted Shares then subject to the restrictions
                           of Section 8(b).

                  (ii)     Death. If a Participant ceases to be an employee
                           prior to the end of a Restricted Period by reason of
                           death, the Restricted Shares granted to such
                           participant shall immediately vest in his beneficiary
                           or estate and all restrictions applicable to such
                           shares shall lapse. A certificate for such shares
                           shall be delivered to the Participant's beneficiary
                           or estate in accordance with the provisions of
                           Section 8(d) hereof.

                  (iii)    All Other Terminations. If a Participant ceases to be
                           an employee prior to the end of a Restricted Period
                           for any reason other than death, disability or
                           retirement, the Participant shall immediately forfeit
                           all Restricted Shares then subject to the
                           restrictions of Section 8(b) hereof in accordance
                           with the provisions thereof, except that the
                           Committee may, if it finds that the circumstances in
                           the particular case so warrant, allow a participant
                           whose employment has so terminated to retain any or
                           all of the Restricted Shares then subject to the
                           restrictions of Section 8(b) and all restrictions
                           applicable to such retained shares shall lapse. A
                           certificate for such retained shares shall be
                           delivered to the Participant in accordance with the
                           provisions of Section 8(d) hereof.

   10

         (d) Payment of Restricted Shares. At the end of the Restricted Period
or at such earlier time as provided for in Section 8(c) hereof or as the
Committee may determine, all restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares
shall lapse and a stock certificate for a number of shares of Common Stock equal
to the number of Restricted Shares, free of all restrictions, shall be delivered
to the Participant or his beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. The Company
shall not be required to deliver any fractional share of Common Stock but shall
pay, in lieu thereof, the fair market value (measured as of the date the
restrictions lapse) of such fractional share to the Participant or his
beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. If an amount is payable by a
Participant to the Company under applicable income tax laws in connection with
the lapse of such restrictions, the Committee may, in its discretion and subject
to such rules as it may adopt, permit the Participant to make such payment, in
whole or in part, by electing to authorize the Company to transfer to the
Company Restricted Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant having a fair
market value equal to the amount to be paid under such income tax laws.

9.       REGULATORY APPROVALS AND LISTING.

         The Company shall not be required to issue any certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an option or a
stock appreciation right or the vesting of Restricted Shares granted under the
Plan prior to (i) the obtaining of any approval from any governmental agency
which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or
advisable, (ii) the admission of such shares to listing on any stock exchange on
which the Common Stock may then be listed, and (iii) the completion of any
registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or Federal
law or rulings or regulations of any governmental body which the Company shall,
in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable.

10.      ADJUSTMENT IN EVENT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.

         In the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend,
combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering,
separation, reorganization or liquidation, or any other change in the corporate
structure or shares of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon
recommendation of the Committee, may make such equitable adjustments, designed
to protect against dilution, as it may deem appropriate in the number and kind
of shares authorized by the Plan thereby and in the option price and, with
respect to grants of Restricted Shares, in the number and kind of shares covered
thereby.

11.      TERM OF PLAN.

         No non-qualified option, incentive stock option, stock appreciation
right or Restricted Shares shall be granted pursuant to this Plan after April
14, 1998, but non-qualified options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation
rights and grants of Restricted Shares theretofore granted may extend beyond

         The Board of Directors may at any time terminate the Plan with respect
to any shares of the Company not at the time subject to option or the provisions
of Section 8, and may from time to time alter or amend the Plan or any part
thereof (including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any
amendment deemed necessary to ensure that the Company may obtain any regulatory
approval, referred to in clause (i) of Section 9 hereof), provided that no
change in any option or Restricted Shares theretofore granted may be made which
would impair the rights of an Optionee or a Participant, respectively, without
the consent of such Optionee or Participant and, further, that without the
approval of stockholders, no alteration or amendment may be made which would (i)
increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan as set
forth in Section 4 (except by operation of Section 10), (ii) extend the term of
the Plan or extend the term of options granted thereunder to beyond the tenth
anniversary of the date of grant, (iii) reduce the option price at which options
may be granted, or (iv) change the class of eligible employees who may receive
options or Restricted Shares under the Plan. The Committee may amend the Plan to
extend the exercise period following an Optionee's termination of an option
granted prior to September 24, 1998, but not beyond (i) in the case of a
termination resulting from the disposition by the Company of all or a part of
its interest in, or the discontinuance of the business of, a subsidiary,
division or other business unit of the Company, five years from the date of
termination and (ii) in the case of all other terminations, not more than three
years from the date of termination, or, if later, three years from the date the
option becomes exercisable but not more than five years after the date of such
termination.

13.      EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

         The Plan shall become effective April 15, 1988 upon approval of the
shareholders of the Company.

authorized but unissued shares or shares previously issued and reacquired by the
Company. Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation (in whole or in part)
of unexercised Options, shares of Common Stock subject thereto shall again be
available for option or grant as Retention Shares or Stock Units under the Plan.
Shares of Common Stock covered by an Option, or portion thereof, which is
surrendered upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, shall thereafter be
unavailable for option or grant as Retention Shares or Stock Units under the
Plan. Upon the forfeiture (in whole or in part) of a grant of Retention Shares

again be available for option or grant as Retention Shares or Stock Units under
the Plan if no dividends have been paid on the forfeited shares, and otherwise
shall be unavailable for such an option or grant.

6.       TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS

         All non-qualified options under the Plan shall be granted subject to
the following terms and conditions:

         a. Option Price. The option price per share with respect to each option
shall be determined by the Committee but shall not be less than 100% of the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted, such fair
market value to be determined in accordance with the procedures to be
established by the Committee.

         b. Duration of Options. Options shall be exercisable at such time or
times and under such conditions as set forth in the written agreement evidencing
such option, but in no event

                                       4
   6

shall any option be exercisable subsequent to the tenth anniversary of the date
on which the option is granted.

         c. Exercise of Option. Except as provided in Section 6(h), 6(i), 8(c)
or 8(d), the shares of Common Stock covered by an option may not be purchased
prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the option is granted
(unless the Committee shall determine otherwise), or such longer period or
periods, and subject to such conditions, as the Committee may determine, but
thereafter may be purchased at one time or in such installments over the balance
of the option period as may be provided in the option. Any shares not purchased
on the applicable installment date may, unless the Committee shall have
determined otherwise, be purchased thereafter at any time prior to the final
expiration of the option. To the extent that the right to purchase shares has
accrued thereunder, options may be exercised from time to time by notice to the
Company stating the number of shares with respect to which the option is being
exercised.

         d. Payment. Shares of Common Stock purchased under options shall, at
the time of purchase, be paid for in full. All, or any portion, of the option
exercise price may, at the discretion of the Committee, be paid by the surrender
to the Company, at the time of exercise, of shares of previously acquired Common
Stock owned by the Optionee, to the extent that such payment does not require
the surrender of a fractional share of such previously acquired Common Stock. In
addition, to the extent permitted by the Committee, the option exercise price
may be paid by authorizing the Company to withhold Common Stock otherwise
issuable on exercise of the option. Such shares previously acquired or shares
withheld to pay the option exercise price shall be valued at fair market value
on the date the option is exercised in accordance with the procedures to be
established by the Committee. A holder of an option shall have none of the
rights of a stockholder until the shares of Common Stock are issued to him or
her. If an amount is payable by an Optionee to the Company or a Subsidiary under
applicable withholding tax laws in connection with the exercise of non-qualified
options, the Committee may, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it
may adopt, permit the Optionee to make such payment, in whole or in part, by
electing to authorize the Company to withhold or accept shares of Common Stock
having a fair market value equal to the amount to be paid under such withholding
tax laws.

         e. Restrictions. The Committee shall determine, with respect to each
option, the nature and extent of the restrictions, if any, to be imposed on the
shares of Common Stock that may be purchased thereunder including restrictions
on the transferability of such shares acquired through the exercise of such
option. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may
impose conditions restricting absolutely or conditionally the transferability of
shares acquired through the exercise of options for such periods, and subject to
such conditions, including continued employment of the Optionee by the Company
or a Subsidiary, as the Committee may determine.

         f. Purchase for Investment. The Committee shall have the right to
require that each Optionee or other person who shall exercise an option under
the Plan represent and agree that any shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant
to such option will be purchased for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof or that such shares will not be

                                       5
   7

sold except in accordance with such restrictions or limitations as may be set
forth in the written agreement granting such option.

         g. Non-Transferability of Options. During an Optionee's lifetime, the
option may be exercised only by the Optionee. Options shall not be transferable,
except for exercise by the Optionee's legal representatives or heirs.

         h. Termination of Employment. Upon the termination of an Optionee's
employment for any reason other than death, then, except as provided below, the
option shall be exercisable only as to those shares of Common Stock which were
then subject to the exercise of such option (provided that the Committee may
determine that particular limitations and restrictions under the Plan shall not
apply) and such option shall expire according to the following schedule (unless
the Committee shall provide for shorter periods at the time the option is
granted):

                  (i)      Retirement. Option shall expire, unless exercised,
                           five (5) years after the Optionee's retirement from

                           the Company's or a Subsidiary's pension plan.

                  (ii)     Disability. Any holding period required by Section
                           6(c) shall automatically be deemed to be satisfied
                           and Option shall expire, unless exercised, five (5)
                           years after the date the Optionee is eligible to
                           receive disability benefits under the provisions of
                           the Company's or a Subsidiary's long-term disability
                           plan.

                  (iii)    Disposition of Business. In the case of a termination
                           resulting from the disposition by the Company or any
                           of its Subsidiaries of all or a part of its interest

                           period required by Section 6(c) shall be satisfied in
                           accordance with its original schedule (including any
                           holding period associated with an option that becomes
                           a non-qualified option in accordance with Section
                           8(c)) and Option shall expire, unless exercised, five
                           (5) years after the date of termination;

                           its Subsidiaries, the Option shall expire, unless
                           exercised, three (3) years from the date of
                           termination.

                  (v)      Gross Misconduct. Option shall expire upon receipt by
                           the Optionee of the notice of termination if he or
                           she is terminated for deliberate, willful or gross
                           misconduct as determined by the Company.

                  (vi)     Change in Control. In the event an Optionee's
                           employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company
                           (other than termination as a result of disability or
                           gross misconduct, but including a termination
                           described in subsection (iii) and (iv) above) within
                           two years following a

                                       6
   8

                           Change in Control all options shall become fully
                           vested and the option shall remain exercisable for a
                           period of three (3) years following such termination
                           (or five (5) years following such termination in the
                           case of a termination described in Subsection (i),
                           (iii) or (iv) above) but in no event after the
                           expiration of the option, and the option shall expire
                           thereafter.

                  (vii)    All Other Terminations. Option shall expire, unless
                           exercised, three (3) months after the date of such
                           termination.

         i. Death of Optionee. Upon the death of an Optionee during his or her
period of employment, the option shall be exercisable only as to those shares of
Common Stock which were subject to the exercise of such option at the time of
his or her death, provided that (i) any holding period required by Section 6(c)
shall automatically be deemed to be satisfied and (ii) the Committee may
determine that particular limitations and restrictions under the Plan shall not
apply, and such option shall expire, unless exercised by the Optionee's legal
representatives or heirs, five (5) years after the date of death (unless the
Committee shall provide for a shorter period at the time the option is granted).

         j. Deferral. The Committee may permit an Optionee to elect to defer
receipt of all or part of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of an
option, pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the Committee. The
Committee may not permit the payment of cash in lieu of Common Stock upon
payment of the deferred amount.

In no event, however, shall any option be exercisable pursuant to Sections 6(h)
or (i) subsequent to the tenth anniversary of the date on which it is granted.

7.       TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

         a. General. The Committee may also grant a stock appreciation right in
connection with a non-qualified option, either at the time of grant or by
amendment. Such stock appreciation right shall cover the same shares covered by
such option (or such lesser number of shares of Common Stock as the Committee
may determine) and shall, except for the provisions of Section 6(d) hereof, be
subject to the same terms and conditions as the related non-qualified option.

         b. Exercise and Payment. Each stock appreciation right shall entitle
the Optionee to surrender to the Company unexercised the related option, or any
portion thereof, and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount
equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of Common Stock over
the option price per share times the number of shares covered by the option, or
portion thereof, which is surrendered. Payment shall be made in shares of Common
Stock valued at fair market value, or in cash, or partly in shares and partly in
cash, all as shall be determined by the Committee. The fair market value shall
be the value determined in accordance with procedures established by the
Committee. Stock appreciation rights may be exercised from time to time upon
actual receipt by the Company of written notice stating the number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which the stock appreciation right is being
exercised, provided that if a stock appreciation right expires unexercised, it
shall be deemed exercised on the expiration date if any amount would be payable
with respect thereto. No

                                       7
   9

fractional shares shall be issued but instead cash shall be paid for a fraction
or, if the Committee should so determine, the number of shares shall be rounded
downward to the next whole share. If an amount is payable by an Optionee to the
Company or a Subsidiary under applicable withholding tax laws in connection with
the exercise of stock appreciation rights, the Committee may, in its discretion
and subject to such rules as it may adopt, permit the Optionee to make such
payment, in whole or in part, by electing to authorize the Company to withhold
or accept shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the amount
to be paid under such withholding tax laws.

         c. Restrictions. The obligation of the Company to satisfy any stock
appreciation right exercised by an Optionee subject to Section 16 of the Act
shall be conditioned upon the prior receipt by the Company of an opinion of
counsel to the Company that any such satisfaction will not create an obligation
on the part of such Optionee pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Act to reimburse
the Company for any statutory profit which might be held to result from such
satisfaction.

8.       TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.

         a. General. The Committee may also grant incentive stock options as
defined under Section 422 of the Code. All incentive stock options issued under
the Plan shall, except for the provisions of Sections 6(h) and (i) and Section 7
hereof, be subject to the same terms and conditions as the non-qualified options
granted under the Plan. In addition, incentive stock options shall be subject to
the conditions of Sections 8(b), (c), (d) and (e).

         b. Limitation of Exercise. The aggregate fair market value (determined
as of the date the incentive stock option is granted) of the shares of stock
with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time
by such Optionee during any calendar year, under this Plan or any other stock
option plans adopted by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any predecessor
companies thereof, shall not exceed $100,000. If any incentive stock options
become exercisable in any year in excess of the $100,000 limitation, options
representing such excess shall become non-qualified options exercisable pursuant
to the terms of Section 6 hereof and shall not be exercisable as incentive stock
options.

         c. Termination of Employment. Upon the termination of an Optionee's
employment, for any reason other than death, his or her incentive stock option
shall be exercisable only as to those shares of Common Stock which were then
subject to the exercise of such option except as provided below (provided that
the Committee may determine that particular limitations and restrictions under
the Plan shall not apply) and such option shall expire as an incentive stock
option according to the following schedule (unless the Committee shall provide
for shorter periods at the time the incentive stock option is granted) but
shall, in all cases other than 8(c)(iii) and 8(c)(iv), at the end of the period
referred to below become a non-qualified option exercisable pursuant to the
terms of Section 6 hereof (including Sections 6(h) and (i)) less the period
already elapsed under such Section:

                  (i)      Retirement. An incentive stock option shall expire,
                           unless exercised, three (3) months after the

                                       8
   10

                           Subsidiary under the provisions of the Company's or a
                           Subsidiary's pension plan.

                  (ii)     Disability. In the case of an Optionee who is
                           disabled within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of
                           the Code, any holding period required by Section 6(c)
                           shall automatically be deemed to be satisfied and an
                           incentive stock option shall expire, unless
                           exercised, one (1) year after the earlier of the date
                           the Optionee terminates employment or the date the
                           Optionee is eligible to receive disability benefits
                           under the provisions of the Company's or a
                           Subsidiary's long-term disability plan.

                  (iii)    Gross Misconduct. An incentive stock option shall
                           expire upon receipt by the Optionee of the notice of
                           termination if he or she is terminated for
                           deliberate, willful or gross misconduct as determined
                           by the Company.

                  (iv)     All Other Terminations. An incentive stock option
                           shall expire, unless exercised, three (3) months
                           after the date of such termination.

         d. Incentive Stock Options Granted On and After May 25, 2000. In the
case of an incentive stock option granted on or after May 25, 2000, the
following additional provisions shall apply:

                  (i)      Disposition of Business. Subject to Section 8(e), in
                           the case of a termination resulting from the
                           disposition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
                           of all or a part of its interest in, or the
                           discontinuance of a business of, a subsidiary,
                           division or other business unit, unvested options
                           shall not be forfeited, but any holding period
                           required by Section 6(c) shall be satisfied in
                           accordance with its original schedule and the Option
                           shall expire, unless exercised, three (3) months
                           after the date of termination, but shall at the end
                           of such three month period become a non-qualified
                           option exercisable pursuant to the terms of Section 6
                           hereof (including Section 6(h)(iii), less the period
                           already elapsed hereunder);

                  (ii)     Force Reduction Program. Subject to Section 8(e), in
                           the case of a termination (other than retirement)
                           resulting from a force reduction program instituted
                           by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Option
                           shall expire, unless exercised, three (3) months
                           after the date of termination, but shall at the end
                           of such three (3) month period become a non-qualified
                           option exercisable pursuant to the terms of Section 6
                           hereof (including Section 6(h)(iv), less the period
                           already elapsed hereunder).

         e. Additional Provisions Regarding Incentive Stock Options Granted On
Or After November 16, 2000. In the case of an incentive stock option granted on
or after November 16, 2000, the following additional provisions shall apply:

         misconduct, but including a

                                       9
   11

         termination described in subsections (d)(i) or (d)(ii) above) within
         two years following a Change in Control, all options shall become fully
         vested and the option shall remain exercisable for a period of three
         (3) months following such termination (but in no event after the
         expiration of the option) and shall at the end of such three (3) month
         period become a non-qualified option exercisable pursuant to the terms
         of Section 6 hereof (including Section 6(h)(vii), less the period
         already elapsed hereunder).

         f. Additional Provisions Regarding Certain Incentive Stock Options
Granted Before May 25, 2000. In the case of an incentive stock option granted
before May 25, 2000, the following additional provisions shall apply:

                  (i)      Disposition of Business. In the case of incentive
                           stock options granted after September 24, 1998 and
                           before May 25, 2000, in the event that a termination
                           results from the disposition by the Company of all or
                           a part of its interest in, or the discontinuance of
                           the business of, a subsidiary, division or other
                           business unit of the Company, the Committee may
                           extend the period during which an incentive stock
                           option may be exercised as a non-qualified option to
                           up to five (5) years from the date of such
                           termination.

                  (ii)     Other Terminations. In the case of incentive stock
                           options granted after April 24, 1997 and before May
                           25, 2000, the Committee may extend the period during
                           which an incentive stock option may be exercised as a
                           non-qualified stock option to up to three (3) years
                           from the date of a termination not due to retirement,
                           disability or gross misconduct or, if later, three
                           (3) years from the date the option becomes
                           exercisable but not more than five years after the
                           date of such termination.

         g. Death of Optionee. Upon the death of an Optionee during his or her
period of employment, the incentive stock option shall be exercisable as an
incentive stock option only as to those shares of Common Stock which were
subject to the exercise of such option at the time of death, provided that (i)
any holding period required by Section 6(c) shall automatically be deemed to be
satisfied, and (ii) the Committee may determine that particular limitations and
restrictions under the Plan shall not apply, and such option shall expire,
unless exercised by the Optionee's legal representatives or heirs, five (5)
years after the date of death (unless the Committee shall provide for a shorter
period at the time the option is granted).

         h. Leave of Absence. A leave of absence, whether or not an Approved
Leave of Absence, shall be deemed a termination of employment for purposes of
Section 8.

In no event, however, shall any incentive stock option be exercisable pursuant
to Sections 8(c) or (d) subsequent to the tenth anniversary of the date on which
it was granted.

9.       TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OF RETENTION STOCK

         a. General. Retention Shares may be granted only to reward the
attainment of individual, Company or Subsidiary goals, or to attract or retain
officers or other employees of the

                                       10
   12

Company or any Subsidiary, and shall be granted subject to the attainment of
performance goals unless the Committee shall determine otherwise. With respect
to each grant of Retention Shares under the Plan, the Committee shall determine
the period or periods, including any conditions for determining such period or
periods, during which the restrictions set forth in Section 9(b) shall apply,
provided that in no event, other than as provided in Section 9(c) or in the next
sentence, shall such restrictions terminate prior to 3 years after the date of
grant (the "Restriction Period"), and may also specify any other terms or
conditions to the right of the Participant to receive such Retention Shares
("Vesting Conditions"). The Committee may determine in its sole discretion to
waive any or all of such restrictions prior to end of the Restriction Period or
the satisfaction of any Vesting Condition. Subject to Section 9(c) and any such
Vesting Condition, a grant of Retention Shares shall be effective for the
Restriction Period and may not be revoked; provided, however, in the event of a
Change in Control of the Company (i) with respect to Retention Shares (other
than Retention Shares granted pursuant to the Executive Incentive Premium
Exchange Program ("PEP Plan") or the 2001 Long Term Plan (the "LTP")), the
Restricted Period shall end with respect to that number of such Retention Shares
calculated by multiplying such Retention Shares by the fraction obtained by
dividing the number of full months during such Restricted Period through the
date of such Change in Control by the total number of months contained in such
Restricted Period (determined without regard to this proviso), (ii) with respect
to Retention Shares granted to such Participant pursuant to the PEP Plan, the
Restricted Period shall end with respect to that number of such Retention Shares
equal to (x) that number of such Retention Shares with a fair market value (as
of the date of grant) equal to the amount of incentive award such Participant
elected to forego in exchange for such Retention Shares (the "Original Retention
Shares"), and (y) number of Retention Shares which the Participant received as a
premium under the PEP Plan (the "Premium Retention Shares") calculated by
multiplying such Premium Retention Shares by the fraction obtained by dividing
the number of full months during such Restricted Period through the date of such
Change in Control by the total number of months contained in such Restricted
Period, and (iii) Retention Shares granted to such Participant pursuant to the
LTP shall be subject to the terms of the applicable agreement issued under the
LTP. In the event a payment becomes due, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, elect to make such payment either in cash, in shares of Common
Stock, in shares of equity securities of the entity (or its parent) resulting
from such Change in Control or in any combination of the foregoing.

         b. Restrictions. At the time of grant of Retention Shares to a
Participant, a certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock
granted shall be registered in the Participant's name but shall be held by the
Company for his or her account. The Participant shall have the entire beneficial
ownership interest in, and all rights and privileges of a stockholder as to,
such Retention Shares, including the right to vote such Retention Shares and,
unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, the right to receive dividends
thereon, subject to the following: (i) subject to Section 9(c), the Participant
shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate until the expiration
of the Restriction Period and the satisfaction of any Vesting Conditions; (ii)
none of the Retention Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or
otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the Restriction Period or prior to
the satisfaction of any Vesting Conditions; and (iii) all of the Retention
Shares shall be forfeited and all rights of the Participant to such Retention
Shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company
unless the Participant remains in the continuous employment of the Company or a

                                       11
   13

Subsidiary for the entire Restriction Period, except as provided by Sections
9(a) and 9(c), and any applicable Vesting Conditions have been satisfied. Any
shares of Common Stock or other securities or property received as a result of a
transaction listed in Section 13 shall be subject to the same restrictions as
such Retention Shares unless the Committee shall determine otherwise.

         c. Termination of Employment.

                  (i)      Disability and Retirement. Unless the Committee shall
                           determine otherwise at the time of grant of Retention
                           Shares, if (A) a Participant ceases to be an employee
                           of the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the end of a
                           Restriction Period, by reason of disability under the
                           provisions of the Company's or a Subsidiary's
                           long-term disability plan or retirement under the
                           provisions of the Company's or a Subsidiary's pension
                           plan either (i) at age 65 or (ii) prior to age 65 at
                           the request of the Company or a Subsidiary, and (B)
                           all Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, the
                           Retention Shares granted to such Participant shall
                           immediately vest and all restrictions applicable to
                           such shares shall lapse. A certificate for such
                           shares shall be delivered to the Participant in
                           accordance with the provisions of Section 9(d).

                  (ii)     Death. Unless the Committee shall determine otherwise
                           at the time of grant of Retention Shares, if (A) a
                           Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company
                           or a Subsidiary prior to the end of a Restriction
                           Period by reason of death, and (B) all Vesting
                           Conditions have been satisfied, the Retention Shares
                           granted to such Participant shall immediately vest in
                           his or her Beneficiary, and all restrictions
                           applicable to such shares shall lapse. A certificate
                           for such shares shall be delivered to the
                           Participant's Beneficiary in accordance with the
                           provisions of Section 9(d).

                  (iii)    All Other Terminations. If a Participant ceases to be
                           an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary prior to
                           the end of a Restriction Period for any reason other

                           Section 9(c)(i) and (ii) or a termination pursuant to
                           Section 9(c)(v), the Participant shall immediately
                           forfeit all Retention Shares then subject to the
                           restrictions of Section 9(b) in accordance with the
                           provisions thereof, except that the Committee may, if
                           it finds that the circumstances in the particular
                           case so warrant, allow a Participant whose employment
                           has so terminated to retain any or all of the
                           Retention Shares then subject to the restrictions of
                           Section 9(b) and all restrictions applicable to such
                           retained shares shall lapse. A certificate for such
                           retained shares shall be delivered to the Participant
                           in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(d).

                  (iv)     Vesting Conditions. Unless the Committee shall
                           determine otherwise at the time of grant of Retention
                           Shares, if a Participant ceases to be an employee of
                           the Company for any reason prior to the satisfaction
                           of any Vesting Conditions, the Participant shall
                           immediately forfeit all Retention Shares then subject
                           to the restrictions of Section 9(b) in accordance
                           with

                                       12
   14

                           the provisions thereof, except that the Committee
                           may, if it finds that the circumstances in the
                           particular case so warrant, allow a Participant whose
                           employment has so terminated to retain any or all of
                           the Retention Shares then subject to the restrictions
                           of Section 9(b) and all restrictions applicable to
                           such retained shares shall lapse. A certificate for
                           such retained shares shall be delivered to the
                           Participant in accordance with the provisions of
                           Section 9(d).

                  (v)      Change in Control. In the event a Participant's
                           employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company
                           (other than a termination as a result of death,
                           disability, retirement or gross misconduct) within
                           two years following a Change in Control, the
                           remaining restrictions with respect to all Original
                           Retention Shares and all Premium Retention Shares
                           shall lapse and the Committee may, in its sole
                           discretion, elect to make such payment either in
                           cash, in shares of Common Stock, in shares of equity
                           securities of the entity (or its parent) resulting
                           from such Change in Control or in any combination of
                           the foregoing.

         d. Payment of Retention Shares. At the end of the Restriction Period
and after all Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, or at such earlier time as
provided for in Section 9(c) or as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may
otherwise determine, all restrictions applicable to the Retention Shares shall
lapse, and a stock certificate for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the number of Retention Shares, free of all restrictions, shall be delivered to
the Participant or his or her Beneficiary, as the case may be. If an amount is
payable by a Participant to the Company or a Subsidiary under applicable
withholding tax laws in connection with the lapse of such restrictions, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit the Participant to make such
payment, in whole or in part, by authorizing the Company to transfer to the
Company Retention Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant having a fair
market value equal to the amount to be paid under such withholding tax laws.

         e. Deferral. The Committee may permit a Participant to elect to defer
receipt of all or part of any Retention Shares that would otherwise be
delivered, pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the Committee. The
Committee may permit the payment of cash in lieu of Common Stock upon payment of
the deferred amount.

10.      STOCK UNITS

         The Committee may also grant Awards of Stock Units under the Plan. The
vesting of Awards of Stock Units shall be subject to the requirement that a
Participant continue employment with the Company or a Subsidiary for a certain
period of no less than three years (the "Unit Restriction Period"), and may be
subject to the satisfaction of other conditions or contingencies ("Unit Vesting
Condition"), in order for a Participant to receive payment of such Award, as
established by the Committee at the time of the Award. The Committee may
determine in its sole discretion to waive any such requirement, condition or
contingency. Awards of Stock Units shall be payable in shares of Common Stock.
The Committee may permit a Participant to elect to defer receipt of payment of
all or part of any Award of Stock Units pursuant to rules and regulations
adopted by the Committee. Unless the Committee

                                       13
   15

provides otherwise at the time an Award of Stock Units to a Participant is made,
the provisions of Section 9(c) of the Plan relating to the vesting and
forfeiture of Retention Stock upon termination of employment shall apply to any
termination of employment by such Participant during the Unit Restricted Period
or prior to the satisfaction of any Unit Vesting Condition for such Award.

11.      DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

         Any Option or Award of Stock Units may provide the Participant with the
right to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent payments on the Common
Stock subject to the Option or Award, whether or not such Option or Award has
been exercised or is vested. Such payments may be made in cash or may be
credited to a Participant's account and later settled in cash or Common Stock or
a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. Such payments and credits
may be subject to such conditions and contingencies as the Committee may
establish.

12.      REGULATORY APPROVALS AND LISTING

         The Company shall not be required to issue to an Optionee, Participant
or a Beneficiary, as the case may be, any certificate for any shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of an option or for any Retention Shares granted under the
Plan or to make any payment with respect to any Stock Unit granted under the
Plan prior to (i) the obtaining of any approval from any governmental agency
which the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine to be necessary or
advisable, (ii) the admission of such shares to listing on any stock exchange on
which the Common Stock may then be listed, and (iii) the completion of any
registration or other qualification of such shares or units under any state or
federal law or rulings or regulations of any governmental body which the
Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine to be necessary or advisable.

13.      ADJUSTMENT IN EVENT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

         In the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend,
combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering,
separation, spin-off, reorganization or liquidation, or any other change in the
corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Board, upon recommendation of
the Committee, may make such equitable adjustments as it may deem appropriate in
the number and kind of shares and Stock Units authorized by the Plan, in the
option price of outstanding Options, and in the number and kind of shares, Stock
Units or other securities or property subject to Options or covered by
outstanding Awards.

14.      TERM OF THE PLAN

         No Options, or Retention Shares or Stock Units shall be granted
pursuant to the Plan after April 16, 2003, but grants of Options, or Retention
Shares or Stock Units theretofore granted may extend beyond that date and the
terms and conditions of the Plan shall continue to apply thereto.

15.      TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

         The Board may at any time terminate the Plan with respect to any shares
of Common Stock or Stock Units not at that time subject to outstanding Options
or Awards, and may from time to time alter or amend the Plan or any part thereof
(including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any amendment
deemed necessary to ensure that the Company may obtain any approval referred to
in Section 12 or to ensure that the grant of Options or Awards, the exercise of
Options, the payment of Retention Shares or the payment with respect to Stock
Units or any other provision of the Plan complies with Section 16(b) of the
Act), provided that no change with respect to any Options, Retention Shares or
Stock Units theretofore granted may be made which would impair the rights of an
Optionee or Participant without the consent of such Optionee or Participant and,
further, that without the approval of stockholders, no alteration or amendment
may be made which would (i) increase the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock and Stock Units subject to the Plan as set forth in Section 5 (except by
operation of Section 13), (ii) extend the term of the Plan or (iii) change the
class of eligible persons who may receive Options or Awards of Retention Shares
or Stock Units under the Plan. The Committee may amend the Plan to extend the
exercise period following an optionee's termination of an option granted prior
to September 24, 1998, but not beyond: (i) in the case of a termination
resulting from the disposition by the Company of all or a part of its interest
in, or the discontinuance of the business of, a subsidiary, division or other
business unit of the Company, five years from the date of termination and (ii)
in the case of all other terminations, not more than three years from the date
of termination, or, if later, three years from the date the option becomes
exercisable, but not more than five years after the date of such termination.

16.      LEAVE OF ABSENCE

         Unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, a leave of absence
other than an Approved Leave of Absence shall be deemed a termination of
employment for purposes of the Plan. An Approved Leave of Absence shall not be
deemed a termination of employment for purposes of the Plan (except for purposes
of Section 8), but the period of such Leave of Absence shall not be counted
toward satisfaction of any Restriction Period or Unit Restriction Period or any
holding period described in Section 6(c).

17.      GENERAL PROVISIONS

         a. Neither the Plan nor the grant of any Option or Award nor any action
by the Company, any Subsidiary or the Committee shall be held or construed to
confer upon any person any right to be continued in the employ of the Company or
a Subsidiary. The Company and each Subsidiary expressly reserve the right to
discharge, without liability but subject to his or her rights under the Plan,
any Optionee or Participant whenever in the sole discretion of the Company or a
Subsidiary, as the case may be, its interest may so require.

         b. All questions pertaining to the construction, regulation, validity
and effect of the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the
State of Utah, without regard to conflict of laws doctrine.

in no event beyond age 65 and in no event shall aggregate service under the UPC
SERP exceed forty (40) years or under the Overnite SERP exceed thirty (30)
years), and (ii) be deemed to be fully vested under such SERP.

SECTION 2.3 (a) For a period of three years following a Severed Employee's
Severance Date (or, if sooner, until such Severed Employee attains the age of
fifty-two (52), at which time the Severed Employee shall become entitled to
receive benefits under the Company's retiree welfare benefit plans), the Company
shall provide such Severed Employee and anyone entitled to claim under or
through such Severed Employee all benefits under any medical, dental or life
insurance program (as described in subsection (b) below), or other present or
future similar group employee benefit plan or program of the Employer (but
excluding any long-term disability plan), to the same extent as if such Severed
Employee had continued to be an employee during such period; provided, however,
that benefits otherwise receivable by or in respect of a Severed Employee
hereunder shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received
by such Severed Employee from a subsequent employer (and the Severed Employee
shall report the receipt of such

                                       7
   8

benefits to the Company). The coverage period for purposes of the group health
continuation requirements of section 4980B of the Code shall commence on the
Severance Date.

                           (b) With respect to continuation of Executive Life
Insurance Plan coverage (i) for a Severed Employee who has attained the age of
fifty-two (52) years on his or her Severance Date, the Company shall pay
premiums for a life insurance policy (in amount equal to one-half (1/2) of such
Severed Employee's annual salary as in effect immediately prior to Severance
Date), until fully funded; (ii) for a Severed Employee who attains the age of
fifty-two (52) during the three-year period following his or her Severance Date,
the Company shall, for the period prior to such Severed Employee reaching the
age of fifty-two (52), treat such Severed Employee as if he or she were an
active employee of the Company, and at such time as such Severed Employee
attains the age of fifty-two (52), treat such Severed Employee in accordance
with clause (i) above; and (iii) for a Severed Employee who will not attain the
age of fifty-two (52) during the three-year period following his or her
Severance Date, the Company shall, during such period, pay premiums on such
Severed Employee's life insurance policy as though such Severed Employee were an
active employee.

SECTION 2.4 (a) In the event an Eligible Employee incurs a Severance, the
Eligible Employee shall become fully vested in all outstanding Equity Awards. In
the case of an Equity Award consisting of (1) a stock option, such option shall
continue to be exercisable for a period of three years from the Severance Date
(or such longer period as may be prescribed in the plan or agreement governing
such option), but in no event later than the expiration date of such option; and
(2) retention stock units, the Company shall make payment of or on such units
within five (5) days following the Severed Employee's Severance Date.

                           (b) In the event an Eligible Employee incurs a
Severance, the Company shall make payment of or on all retention shares or
retention stock units and any cash award earned under the 2001 LTP within five
(5) days following the Severed Employee's Severance Date.

SECTION 2.5 (a) Whether or not the Eligible Employee becomes entitled to the
Severance Payment, if any payment or benefit received or to be received by the
Eligible Employee in connection with a Change in Control or the termination of
the Eligible Employee's employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Plan
or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any Person whose
actions result in a Change in Control or any Person affiliated with the Company
or such Person) (all such payments and benefits, including the Severance
Payment, being hereinafter called "Total Payments") will be subject (in whole or

                                       8
   9

part) to the Excise Tax, then, subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of
this Section 2.5, the Company shall pay to the Eligible Employee an additional
amount (the "Gross-Up Payment") such that the net amount retained by the
Eligible Employee, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Total Payments and
any federal, state and local income and employment taxes and Excise Tax upon the
Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments. For purposes of
determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Eligible Employee shall be
deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal
income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made
and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the
state and locality of the Eligible Employee's residence on the Severance Date
(or if there is no Severance Date, then the date on which the Gross-Up Payment
is calculated for purposes of this Section 2.5), net of the maximum reduction in
federal income tax which could be obtained from deduction of such state and
local taxes.

                           (b) In the event that the amount of the Total
Payments exceeds 100% of, but does not exceed 110% of, the largest amount that
would result in no portion of the Total Payments being subject to the Excise Tax
(the "Safe Harbor"), then subsection (a) of this Section 2.5 shall not apply and
the Severance Payments under Section 2.1 shall be reduced (if necessary, to
zero) so that the amount of the Total Payments is equal to the Safe Harbor.

                           (c) For purposes of determining whether any of the
Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise
Tax, (i) all of the Total Payments shall be treated as "parachute payments"
within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, unless in the opinion of
tax counsel ("Tax Counsel") reasonably acceptable to the Eligible Employee and
selected by the accounting firm which was, immediately prior to the Change in
Control, the Company's independent auditor (the "Auditor"), such other payments
or benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments,
including by reason of section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code, (ii) all "excess
parachute payments" within the meaning of section 280G(b)(l) of the Code shall
be treated as subject to the Excise Tax unless, in the opinion of Tax Counsel,
such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent "reasonable
compensation for services actually rendered", within the meaning of section
280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the "base amount" within meaning of
Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code allocable to such reasonable compensation, or are
otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (iii) the value of any noncash
benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Auditor
in accordance with the principles of sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.
Prior to the payment date set forth in Section 2.6 hereof, the Company shall
provide the Eligible Employee with its calculation of the amounts referred to in
this Section 2.5(c) and such supporting materials as are reasonably necessary
for the

                                       9
   10

Eligible Employee to evaluate the Company's calculations. If the Eligible
Employee disputes the Company's calculations (in whole or in part), the
reasonable opinion of Tax Counsel with respect to the matter in dispute shall
prevail.

                           (d) In the event that the Excise Tax is finally
determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder in
calculating the Gross-Up Payment, and after giving effect to such
redetermination, the Severance Payment under Section 2.1 are to be reduced
pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.5, the Eligible Employee shall
repay to the Company, within five (5) business days following the time that the
amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the
Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus that portion of the
Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal, state and local
income and employment taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the
Eligible Employee), to the extent that such repayment results in (i) no portion
of the Total Payments being subject to the Excise Tax and (ii) a
dollar-for-dollar reduction in the Eligible Employee's taxable income and wages
for purposes of federal, state and local income and employment taxes, plus
interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in section
1274(b)(2)(b) of the Code. In the event that (x) the Excise Tax is finally
determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of the
termination of the Eligible Employee's employment (including by reason of any
payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the
Gross-Up Payment) and (y) after giving effect to such redetermination, the
Severance Payment under Section 2.1 should not have been reduced pursuant to
subsection (b) of this Section 2.5, the Company shall make the previously
reduced Severance Payment and shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in
respect of such excess and in respect of any portion of the Excise Tax with
respect to which the Company had not previously made a Gross-Up Payment (plus
any interest, penalties or additions payable by the Eligible Employee with
respect to such excess and such portion) within five (5) business days following
the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.

SECTION 2.6 The payments provided in subsection (a) of Section 2.5 hereof shall
be made not later than the fifth day following the Severance Date; provided,
however, that if the amounts of such payments, and the limitations on such
payments set forth in Section 2.5 hereof, cannot be finally determined on or
before such day, the Company shall pay to the Eligible Employee on such day an
estimate of the minimum amount of such payments to which the Eligible Employee
is clearly entitled and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with
interest on the unpaid remainder (or on all such payments to the extent the
Company fails to make such payments when due) at the rate provided in section
1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined but
in no event later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the Severance Date.

                                       10
   11

SECTION 2.7 The Company shall reimburse the Eligible Employee for all reasonable
legal fees and expenses incurred by the Eligible Employee in seeking to obtain
or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Plan, so long as the Eligible
Employee prevails in substantial part on the merits of his or her claim. The
Company shall reimburse the Eligible Employee for all reasonable legal fees and
expenses incurred by the Eligible Employee in connection with any tax audit or
proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of section 4999 of the
Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder.

SECTION 2.8 In the event of a claim for benefits hereunder by an Eligible
Employee, such Eligible Employee shall present the reason for his or her claim
in writing to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall, within
thirty (30) days after receipt of such written claim, send a written
notification to the Eligible Employee as to its disposition. In the event the
claim is wholly or partially denied, such written notification shall (a) state
the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (b) make specific reference to
pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (c) provide a
description of any additional material or information necessary for the Eligible
Employee to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or
information is necessary, and (d) set forth the procedure by which the Eligible
Employee may appeal the denial of his or her claim. In the event an Eligible
Employee wishes to appeal the denial of his or her claim, he or she may request
a review of such denial by making application in writing to the Plan
Administrator within sixty (60) days after receipt of such denial. Such Eligible
Employee (or his or her duly authorized legal representative) may, upon written
request to the Plan Administrator, review any documents pertinent to his or her
claim, and submit in writing, issues and comments in support of his or her
position. Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a written appeal (unless
special circumstances, such as the need to hold a hearing, require an extension
of time, but in no event more than one hundred twenty (120) days after such
receipt), the Plan Administrator shall notify the Eligible Employee of the final
decision. The final decision shall be in writing and shall include specific
reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant, and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the
decision is based.

SECTION 2.9 No Severed Employee shall be eligible to receive a Severance Payment
or other benefits under the Plan unless he or she first executes a written
release substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule A.

SECTION 2.10 An Employer shall be entitled to withhold from amounts to be paid
to the Severed Employee hereunder any federal, state or local withholding or
other taxes or charges which it is from time to time required to withhold.

control respecting the management of the Plan. All reasonable expenses thereof
shall be borne by the Employer.

SECTION 4. PLAN MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION.

         The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board at any time;
provided, however, that, during the following periods, the Plan may not be
terminated nor may the Plan be amended in any manner adverse to the interests of
any Eligible Employee (including, without limitation, any adverse changes to a
person's status as an Eligible Employee) without such Eligible Employee's
written consent (and any such termination or amendment shall be void and of no
force and effect): (i) within one year preceding a Potential Change in Control
(in the case of any action (other than in connection with a termination of
employment) pursuant to which an individual ceases to be designated as an
Eligible Employee or is designated in a lower tier of Eligible Employee) or
within 90 days preceding a Potential Change in Control (in the case of
termination of the Plan or any other amendment which is adverse to the interests
of any Eligible Employee), (ii) during the pendency of or within 90 days
following the cessation of a Potential Change in Control or (iii) within two
years following a Change in Control. This Plan shall terminate automatically two

SECTION 5. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

SECTION 5.1 Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, no right or interest
of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in
whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including
without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in any
manner; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no
right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be liable for,
or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Eligible Employee. When a
payment is due under this Plan to a Severed Employee who is unable to care for
his or her affairs, payment may be made directly to his or her legal guardian or
personal representative.

SECTION 5.2 If an Employer is obligated by law, contract, policy or otherwise to
pay severance pay, a termination indemnity, notice pay, or the like, or if an
Employer is obligated by law to provide advance notice of separation ("Notice
Period"), then any Severance Payment hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of
any such severance pay, termination indemnity, notice pay or the like, as
applicable, and by the amount of any compensation received during any Notice
Period.

SECTION 5.3 Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof,
nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits
shall be construed as giving any Eligible Employee, or any person whomsoever,
the right to be retained in the service of the Employer, and all Eligible
Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan
had never been adopted.

SECTION 5.4 If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or
unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such
provisions had not been included.

SECTION 5.5 This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties,
including each Eligible Employee, present and future, and any successor to the
Employer. If a Severed Employee shall die while any amount would still be
payable to such Severed Employee hereunder if the Severed Employee had continued
to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in
accordance with the terms of this Plan to the executor, personal representative
or administrators of the Severed Employee's estate.

right to, or interest in, any assets of any Employer which may be applied by the
Employer to the payment of benefits or other rights under this Plan.

the terms hereof shall have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United
States mail, first class, postage prepaid, addressed to the intended recipient

Nebraska, to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall otherwise
control.

                       STOCK UNIT AND CASH AWARD AGREEMENT

                                                         Dated: January 25, 2001

Dear Award Recipient:

         This Letter Agreement will confirm (1) an award to you of stock units
("Stock Units"), as of the date hereof, by Union Pacific Corporation (the
"Company"), under the 1993 Stock Option and Retention Stock Plan of the Company
(the "Plan"), a copy of which is included in this mailing packet and made a part
thereof, and (2) provided some or all of such Stock Units are paid to you
pursuant to this Agreement, the opportunity for you to receive a Cash Award as
provided herein.

                                   STOCK UNITS

         1. GRANT OF UNITS. The Company hereby awards to you the number of Stock
Units, as shown on Exhibit A of this Agreement, each evidencing the right to
receive, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement and the Plan, one share of Union Pacific Corporation Common Stock,
$2.50 par value per share ("Common Stock"). As shown on Exhibit A, you are
granted a Stock Unit Target Award and may receive at the end of the Restriction
Period described below all or a portion of your Stock Unit Target Award,
provided the applicable Performance Criteria have been satisfied.

         2. RESTRICTION PERIOD. The period during which the restrictions set
forth herein and in the Plan shall apply to the Stock Units granted to you shall
commence on the date hereof and expire on January 31, 2004 if the Performance
Criteria described below for such Stock Units have been satisfied (the
"Restriction Period").

         3. PERFORMANCE CRITERIA. As shown on Exhibit A, Performance Criteria
include (i) Cumulative Earnings Per Share of the Company as set forth on Exhibit
A, and (ii) Fair Market Value of the Common Stock of the Company, which is the
average of the high and low trading prices per share of the Common Stock as
reported in The Wall Street Journal listing of composite transactions for New
York Stock Exchange Issues. As used herein, Cumulative Earnings Per Share means
the sum of the

   2

annual diluted earnings per share of the Company for the fiscal years ending
December 31, 2001, 2002, and 2003 based on net income (including income from
both continuing and discontinued operations) as reported in the Company's Annual
Reports to Shareholders, provided that in calculating Cumulative Earnings Per
Share the Committee (as defined in the Plan) may, in its sole discretion,
exclude special charges or extraordinary items reported by the Company. The
Cumulative Earnings Per Share Performance Criterion will be satisfied if
Cumulative Earnings Per Share meet or exceed the target set forth in Exhibit A.
The Fair Market Value Performance Criterion will be satisfied if the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock of the Company is equal to or greater than the
applicable Stock Price Target as shown on Exhibit A for 20 consecutive calendar
days beginning on January 1, 2001 through January 31, 2004. In order to earn a
specified portion of your Stock Unit Target Award or Cash Target Award pursuant
to Section 9 below, only one of the Performance Criteria (e.g., Cumulative
Earnings Per Share or Stock Price Target) must be satisfied. There is no
interpolation between target amounts.

         4. RESTRICTIONS. The above award of Stock Units is subject to the
following restrictions: (i) no dividends or cash in lieu of dividends shall be
paid on the Stock Units during the Restriction Period; (ii) subject to Sections
17 and 22 below, you shall not be entitled to delivery of shares of Common Stock
until the expiration of the Restriction Period; (iii) none of such Stock Units
may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed
of during the Restriction Period; and (iv) all of the Stock Units shall be
forfeited and all of your rights to such units shall terminate without further
obligation on the part of the Company unless (I) you remain in the continuous
employment of the Company or a Subsidiary for the entire Restriction Period,
except as provided in Section 17 or 22 below, and (II) the applicable
Performance Criteria for such units are satisfied on or prior to January 31,
2004. Any shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights received as a
result of a transaction listed in Section 11 of the Plan shall be subject to the
same restrictions as such Stock Units.

         5. PAYMENT OF STOCK UNITS. At the end of the Restriction Period or at
such earlier time as provided for in Section 17 or 22 below, and subject to
Section 6 hereof, all restrictions applicable to such Stock Units shall lapse,
and shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the number of Stock Units which
have met the applicable Performance Criteria shown on Exhibit A, free of all
restrictions, shall be delivered to you (through your account at the Company's
third party stock administrator, if applicable) or your beneficiary or estate,
as the case may be.

   3

         6. DEFERRAL. You may elect to defer receipt of payment of any Award of
Stock Units pursuant to the Deferral of Stock Award Gains Program. If you are or
should you become a "named executive officer", as defined in Item 402 of
Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, at any
time during calendar year 2003 you must defer receipt of payment of any Award of
Stock Units until termination of your employment if requested by a committee of
the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 10
of the Plan.

         7. WITHHOLDING. Upon the lapse of the restrictions applicable to the
Stock Units, you must arrange for the payment to the Company of all applicable
withholding taxes resulting therefrom promptly after you have been notified of
the amount thereof by the Secretary of the Company. Shares will be withheld to
pay withholding taxes if you have made a proper election to pay withholding
taxes in this manner.

         8. APPLICABILITY OF THE PLAN. This Agreement and the award of Stock
Units hereunder are subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan.

                                   CASH AWARD

         9. PAYMENT OF CASH AWARD. You are eligible to receive a Cash Award
equal to all or a portion of your Cash Target Award as shown on Exhibit A,
provided (I) you remain in the continuous employment of the Company or a
Subsidiary for the entire Restriction Period, except as provided in Section 17
or 22 below, and (II) the applicable Performance Criteria for such Cash Award
are satisfied on or prior to January 31, 2004, payable at the expiration of the
Restriction Period.

         10. ADDITIONAL CASH PAYMENT. If the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock equals or exceeds $100 for 20 consecutive calendar days on or prior to
January 31, 2004, or Cumulative Earnings Per Share equals or exceeds $20, you
shall be entitled to receive an additional cash payment from the Company. Such
additional cash payment shall be computed by applying the maximum marginal
federal income tax rate in effect at the expiration of the Restriction Period to
the value of the maximum award of any Stock Units and Cash Award paid to you
pursuant to this Agreement.

                          PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIALITY

         11. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; TRADE SECRETS. By signing Exhibit A to
this Agreement, you acknowledge that the Company regards certain information
relating to its business and operations as confidential. This includes all
information that the Company could reasonably be expected to keep confidential
and whose disclosure to third parties would likely be disparaging or detrimental
to the Company ("Confidential Information"). Your signature also acknowledges
that the

   4

Company has certain information that derives economic value from not being known
to the general public or to others who could obtain economic value from its
disclosure or use, which the Company takes reasonable efforts to protect the
secrecy of ("Trade Secrets").

         12. TYPES OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OR TRADE SECRETS. By signing
Exhibit A, you acknowledge that you developed or have had or will have access to
one or more of the following types of Confidential Information or Trade Secrets:
information about rates or costs; customer or supplier agreements and
negotiations; business opportunities; scheduling and delivery methods; business
and marketing plans; financial information or plans; communications within the
attorney-client privilege or other privileges; operating procedures and methods;
construction methods and plans; proprietary computer systems design, programming
or software; strategic plans; succession plans; proprietary company training
programs; employee performance, compensation or benefits; negotiations or
strategies relating to collective bargaining agreements and/or labor disputes;
and internal or external claims or complaints regarding personal injuries,
employment laws or policies, environmental protection, or hazardous materials.
By signing Exhibit A, you agree that any disclosures by you to any third party
of such Confidential Information or Trade Secrets would constitute gross
misconduct within the meaning of the Plan.

         13. PRIOR CONSENT REQUIRED. By signing Exhibit A, you agree that you
will not, unless you receive prior consent from the Company's Senior Vice
President of Human Resources ("Sr. VP-HR") or unless ordered by a court or
government agency, (i) disclose to any subsequent employer or unauthorized
person any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets, or (ii) retain or take
with you when you leave the Company any property of the Company or any documents
(including any electronic or computer records) relating to any Confidential
Information or Trade Secrets.

         14. PRIOR NOTICE OF EMPLOYMENT, ETC. By signing Exhibit A, you
acknowledge that if you become an employee, contractor, or consultant for any
other railroad, this would create a substantial risk that you would,
intentionally or unintentionally, disclose or rely upon the Company's
Confidential Information or Trade Secrets for the benefit of the other railroad
to the detriment of the Company. You further acknowledge that such disclosures
would be particularly damaging if made shortly after you leave the Company.
Therefore, by signing Exhibit A, you agree that for a period of one year after
you leave the Company, before accepting any employment or affiliation with
another railroad you will give written notice to the Sr. VP-HR of your intention
to accept such employment or affiliation. You also agree to confer in good faith
with the Sr.

   5

VP-HR concerning whether your proposed employment or affiliation could
reasonably be expected to be performed without improper disclosure of
Confidential Information or Trade Secrets. If the Sr. VP-HR and you are unable
to reach agreement on this issue, you agree to submit this issue to arbitration,
to be conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, for
final resolution. You also agree that you will not begin to work for another
railroad until the Sr. VP-HR or an arbitrator has determined that such
employment could reasonably be expected to be performed without improper
disclosure of the Company's Confidential Information or Trade Secrets.

         15. FAILURE TO COMPLY. By signing Exhibit A, you agree that, if you
fail to comply with any of the promises that you made in Section 13 or 14 above,
you will return to the Company any shares of Common Stock (or the market value
of any shares of Common Stock received) and any Cash Award (including any
additional cash payment) granted to you by this Agreement which you received at
any time from 180 days prior to the earlier of (i) the date when you leave the
Company or (ii) the date you fail to comply with any such promise you made in
Section 13 or 14 to 180 days after the date when the Company learns that you
have not complied with any such promise. You agree that you will return such
shares of Common Stock or Cash Award (including any additional cash payment) to
the Company on such terms and conditions as may be required by the Company. You
further agree that the Company will be entitled to set off any such Cash Award
and the market value of any such shares of Common Stock against any amount that
might be owed to you by the Company.

                                CHANGE IN CONTROL

         16. OCCURRENCE OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. If a Change in Control shall be
deemed to have occurred under the Plan, then the Performance Criteria shall be
deemed to have been satisfied at the $70 Stock Price Target award level,
provided that if a greater Performance Criteria shall have been satisfied prior
to the occurrence of such Change in Control then such greater Performance
Criteria shall be applicable. In either event following the Change in Control
(i) no greater Performance Criteria may be earned under this Agreement, and (ii)
you must remain in the continuous employment of the Company or a Subsidiary for
the entire Restriction Period, except as provided in Section 17 or 22 below.
"Change in Control" shall have the meaning provided in the Plan.

         17. SEVERANCE FOLLOWING CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event your employment
is involuntarily terminated by the Company within two years following the date
of a Change in Control, you shall be entitled to receive the Stock Units and
Cash Award earned under this Agreement.

   6

         18. GENERAL. Nothing herein shall limit or restrict the right of the
Company to amend or terminate the Plan subject to the terms thereof.

                              NO DIRECT COMPETITION

         19. SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS; NO EMPLOYMENT WITH WESTERN ROADS. By
signing Exhibit A, you agree that for a period of 18 months following your
departure from the Company, you will not (directly or in association with
others) call on or solicit the business of any of the Company's customers with
whom you actually did business and had personal contact while you were employed
by the Company, for the purpose of providing the customers with goods and/or
services similar in nature to those provided by the Company in the states in
which the Company now operates. You further agree that for the same time period,
you will not become an employee, contractor or consultant for any of the
following companies, which compete directly with the Company: Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Corporation; Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc.; Dakota,
Minnesota & Eastern Railway Company; Illinois Central Corporation; and Texas
Mexican Railway Company (including their respective affiliates and subsidiaries
or any company which is acquiring or being acquired by any such company) (the
"Western Roads"). This Section 19 is not intended to prevent you from working
for any employer other than a Western Road. This Section does not apply to
employees who work in California at the time when this Agreement is signed or
when their employment with the Company ends.

         20. ACKNOWLEDGMENT; INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. By signing Exhibit A, you
acknowledge that Section 19 will not prevent you from being gainfully employed
after you leave the Company, because you will remain free to work in any
occupation, profession, trade, or business so long as you comply with your
promises in Section 19. You also agree that because money damages would not be
adequate to compensate the Company if you violate any of your promises in
Section 19, the Company would be entitled to an injunction from a Court to
enforce those promises.

         21. VIOLATION OF PROMISES. By signing Exhibit A, you agree that if you
violate any of your promises in Section 19, then you will return to the Company
any shares of Common Stock (or the fair market value thereof), and any Cash
Award (including any additional cash payment) granted to you by this Agreement
which you received at any time from 180 days prior to the date when you leave
the Company to 180 days after the date when the Company learns that you have not
complied with the promises you made in Section 19. You agree that you will
return such shares of Common Stock (or the fair market value thereof) or Cash
Award (including any additional cash payment) to the Company on such terms and
conditions as may be

   7

required by the Company. You further agree that the Company will be entitled to
set off any such Cash Award and the market value of any such stock certificates
against any amount that might be owed to you by the Company.

                                     GENERAL

         22. DEATH, DISABILITY AND RETIREMENT. If you die during the Restriction
Period, then the Performance Criteria shall be deemed to have been satisfied at
the minimum Stock Unit Target Award and Cash Target Award ($13.50 Cumulative
Earnings Per Share), provided that if prior to your death one of the Stock Price
Targets on Exhibit A has been achieved (or deemed satisfied pursuant to Section
16) then that Performance Criterion shall be applicable, and your estate or
beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the Stock Units and Cash Award earned
under this Agreement. You shall not be entitled to any Stock Units or Cash Award
hereunder if you shall become disabled or retire prior to the end of the
Restriction Period.

         23. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is, becomes, or is
deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended or limited in scope to conform to
applicable laws or, in the discretion of the Company, it shall be stricken and
the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in force and effect.

         24. CHOICE OF LAW. All questions pertaining to the construction,
regulation, validity, and effect of this Agreement shall be determined in
accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to the conflict of
laws doctrine.

         To confirm acceptance of the foregoing, kindly sign and promptly return
one copy of Exhibit A of this Letter Agreement to the Company.

                                             Sincerely,

                                             UNION PACIFIC CORPORATION

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:

I'm pleased to report that 2000 was a year of solid achievement for our company.
We faced many challenges over the past 12 months, from escalating fuel prices to
a sharp year-end decline in the economy. But the strength of our franchise, the
resilience of our operations, and the dedication and experience of our people
saw us through to a successful year. Here are a few of the key financial
highlights:

o Income from continuing operations was a record $842 million. Excluding a $72
million after-tax work force reduction charge in the fourth quarter, income from
continuing operations increased 17% to $914 million.

o Diluted earnings per share increased 16% (excluding the work force reduction
charge) to $3.61, based on continuing operations.

o Total revenues rose 6% to a record $11.9 billion, with increases at both the
railroad and trucking subsidiaries.

o Railroad traffic volumes increased 4% for the year, to a record 8.9 million
carloads. The benefits of our diverse traffic mix were apparent, with gains in
five of our six major business groups.

OUR MISSION

Union Pacific is committed to be a company where customers want to do business,
employees are proud to work and shareholder value is created.

o Overnite Transportation's operating income rebounded significantly to $53.5
million, up from $20 million in 1999, with stronger prices and improved
operating efficiencies helping to offset higher fuel costs.

o Free cash flow increased almost four-fold, to $217 million. This enabled us to
strengthen the balance sheet, reducing the ratio of debt to total capitalization
by 2.5 percentage points.

o Union Pacific's stock price increased 16% for the year, while the S&P 500
declined 10% over that same time period.

     In our last annual report, we reviewed efforts to strengthen our franchise
and transform our culture so that we could deliver on the promise of the merged
railroad network. As we began to see tangible results, we stepped up the
intensity of our efforts to make Union Pacific a company where customers want to
do business, employees are proud to work and value is created for shareholders.

     The key to achieving this vision is providing high-quality customer
service. To do this, we are focused on improving reliability, being innovative
in our business approach, and working smarter through the quality process to
ensure that things are done right the first time. Throughout this report, you
will see examples of this intensified customer focus.

THE MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Our unparalleled rail franchise gives Union Pacific a tremendous advantage in
serving customers throughout North America. Our studies have estimated the
available market for long-haul inter-city rail service in the western United
States at close to $90 billion. Today, the majority of this traffic moves by
truck. Western railroads have tapped only about 22% of this market, so there is
enormous unrealized opportunity. To capitalize on our efficiencies and make
headway in this broader market, we need to demonstrate to customers that we can
provide reliable service.

IMPROVING RELIABILITY

According to our customer satisfaction surveys, the speed of our service is not
as critical as reliability. Efforts to improve our reliability have been under
way on many fronts, from tighter accountability in field operations, to more
efficient car scheduling, to the reliability and availability of our locomotive
fleet. Over the past three years, we have acquired over 875 new units, with
another 500 planned in 2001. This has enabled us to retire more than 1,000
older, less efficient locomotives in that same period, with significantly more
retirements to come. This fleet modernization is translating into lower
maintenance costs, better fuel efficiency, more flexibility, decreased
emissions, and greater reliability for our customers.

     While there is room for improvement, we are gaining on the competition.
Survey results show that customer satisfaction with Union Pacific has increased
steadily over the past three years, while truckload service levels appear to
have plateaued.

WORKING SMARTER

One of the most significant new opportunities for continuous quality improvement
is the growing use of e-commerce and the Internet.

     We've taken some early steps in using the Internet to improve our
back-office processes. For example, train crews now go on line to determine
their work schedules, while auto customers can track individual vehicles across
the railroad. Another new opportunity is RailMarketplace.com, an industry
alliance for supply management. Through this effort, we should see the cost
benefits of standardization and economies of scale.

     Beyond back-office processes, the Internet also provides many ways to
interact with our customers. One of our recent efforts is a new website called
MyUPRR.com. This is a customized workspace that enables customers to see
information about their shipments. As this concept continues to develop, it will
give us another way to improve productivity, and make it easier for customers to
do business with Union Pacific.

INNOVATION AND ALLIANCES

With operations more fluid and the quality of our service improved, we have
become more innovative in leveraging the strengths of our franchise. Not only
can we serve our traditional customers more effectively, but we can also reach
out to customers who have never used rail service before. For example, we're
using day-of-the-week pricing to optimize yield and capacity in certain
corridors. We're offering truck-rail packages to reach new customers or meet
specific service requirements. We're using the strengths of our rail network to
offer targeted new premium services.

     Innovation can be seen in the spirit of cooperation within the rail
industry. We are working to improve interchange points and to track shipments
across railroads. We're also forming targeted new alliances to meet specific
customer needs and compete effectively for new business opportunities. As an
example, we work closely with both Mexico interchange partners, Ferrocarril
Mexicano and Transportacion Ferroviaria Mexicana, to ensure an efficient flow of
traffic north and south of the border. Our revenue associated with Mexico
traffic grew 19% in 2000 to $850 million, and we believe this will be a growing
opportunity in the years ahead.

SERVING CUSTOMERS AT OVERNITE

The focus on quality service to customers continues at Overnite as well.
Overnite's dedicated employees have remained committed to excellence, despite
attempted disruptions by the Teamsters during the year. As a result, transit
times and service performance in 2000 were the best in Overnite's 65-year
history, with on-time service averaging close to 98%. These strong service
levels enabled the company to roll out several expansions of its expedited
Overnite Advantage program during the year, including a new Advantage Guaranteed
service, which responds to the particular needs of very time-sensitive
customers.

     Net income at Overnite improved a dramatic 51% to $43 million in 2000,
reflecting record revenues, improved productivity and lower strike-related
costs. Cash flow to the Corporation increased 46%, to $62 million.

FENIX

Union Pacific has long been in the forefront of developing technology to support
its railroad business. Many of these technologies have expanded beyond their
core transportation applications. This past June, Union Pacific formed Fenix
LLC, a new holding company subsidiary. Through Fenix, the Corporation is taking
steps to help realize this untapped value without losing focus on its primary
transportation business.

     There are now four separate companies under the Fenix umbrella. These
companies have been making great strides throughout the year, developing and
expanding their product offerings and reaching out to diverse customers ranging
from the Seattle Mariners to Starbucks Coffee.

LOOKING AHEAD

As we look over the past year, we are encouraged by our progress on many fronts,
and proud of the people throughout Union Pacific who have given their best
efforts to make our company successful.

     We would like to extend our special thanks to a departing member of our
Board of Directors, Dick Cheney. Dick left us this past year in order to carry
out his new responsibilities as Vice President of the United States. While his
contributions to the Board will be missed, we know that his experience and
integrity will serve our country well.

     We would also like to welcome two new directors to our Board, Archie
Dunham, chairman and chief executive officer of Conoco Inc., and

4
   9

Steven Rogel, chairman and chief executive officer of Weyerhaeuser Company.
These two business leaders bring extensive experience and customer perspectives
that will help us run a quality company.

     In the year ahead, there is much more that can be accomplished. We will
face continued challenges such as higher fuel prices and economic uncertainty,
but we are well positioned to meet these challenges and opportunities. We have
strengthened our management team. We have improved the safety and efficiency of
our operations. We are more innovative in our business approach, and we are
unrelenting in our efforts to improve productivity and lower costs through the
quality process.

     Going forward, we will build on these efforts, leveraging the strengths of
our premier franchise to provide consistently reliable service for our customers
and strong returns for our shareholders. As we look ahead, our vision for Union
Pacific remains very straightforward. We are committed to being one of America's
great companies - a company where customers want to do business, employees are
proud to work and value is created for shareholders.

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD IMPROVING RELIABILITY

Union Pacific renewed its focus on service consistency and reliability, which
are critical for customers to achieve their business goals.

     Applying the quality process, UP monitors key service performance measures.
For example, operations managers track day-to-day field performance based on the
actual time it takes to move cars and trains against a designated transportation
plan. UP then uses this information to remove variances from the operating
schedule, allocate resources appropriately and meet customer commitments.

     A renewed emphasis on reliability and quality had a positive impact on a
number of customers. For Eastman Chemical, UP has cut transit times in some
lanes by as much as half and has driven significant on-time performance
improvements.

     Coal customers, such as Chicago-based Midwest Generation, benefited from
on-time performance that averaged 96% in 2000. Toyota recognized the Railroad as
its 1999 and 2000 Rail Carrier of the Year.

     Union Pacific went 164 consecutive days without missing a single sort for
UPS in 2000. That's more than 60 million individual packages delivered on time,
breaking the previous industry record by over two months.

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD BEING INNOVATIVE

Last year the Railroad developed new services for key growth corridors, with
the goal of bringing customers back to the Railroad.

     For Sunkist and other West Coast customers, the Railroad introduced Express
Lane, a premium manifest service in partnership with CSX. Trains from the
Pacific Northwest and north-central California move fresh and frozen fruits and
vegetables to New York City in eight days, and Boston in nine.

     Express Lane was so successful, UP expanded it in the fall to the
southeastern United States and is targeting the Mid-Atlantic states in 2001.

     In the I-5 corridor, UP introduced the Cascade Connection, an updated
intermodal service running from Seattle to Los Angeles that uses day-of-the-week
pricing for northbound service to manage capacity and balance demand.
Southbound, incentive pricing helps fill trains and attract nontraditional
customers.

     With Thrall Car Manufacturing and DaimlerChrysler , UP developed the "Q2"
auto rack. It combines the right balance of capacity and flexibility, allowing
the Railroad to haul different sized vehicles while reducing delivery time. UP
now carries all of Chrysler's finished auto business west of the Mississippi
River.

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD BUILDING ALLIANCES

Alliances with other North American railroads are key to providing seamless
service beyond Union Pacific's traditional 23-state reach. Alliance partners
include all the major North American railroads, affording customers easy access
to additional markets.

     In partnership with Ferrocarril Mexicano (a 26-percent owned affiliate of
the Railroad) and Transportacion Ferroviaria Mexicana, UP grew its Mexico
revenue by 19 percent. To speed the delivery of automobiles, the three railroads
worked with auto manufacturers in Mexico, including Ford Motor Company and its
logistics partner, UPS Autogistics.

     Over the last few years, the Railroad has strengthened its alliance with
Canadian Pacific Railway, which hauls commodities such as potash in western
Canada and hands them off to Union Pacific at Eastport, Idaho. Traffic then
moves through Washington and Oregon into UP's Roseville, California yard.
Operating independently, this service took 14 days. Now it takes six, and the
number of trains through the Eastport corridor has increased from two to five
daily.

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD WORKING SMARTER

Intelligent Solutions was a key catch-phrase for UP in 2000, as the Railroad
discovered new ways to leverage its expansive rail network, technology and
understanding of its customers' business needs. The commitment to quality,
including management training and the use of Six Sigma tools, was the
underpinning of UP's efforts.

     Together, Simpson Timber and UP met the challenge of delivering lumber
products from the Pacific Northwest by designing a transportation plan that
provides the equipment and service to reach lumber markets coast to coast.

     The Railroad's International Customer Service Center (ICSC) reduced the
complexity of transporting products across U.S. borders. By staging trains and
preparing documents in advance, the ICSC and distributors Gambrinus and Barton
Beers significantly improved the customs process for importing Grupo Modelo's
popular Corona beer.

     UP's customized website, MyUPRR.com, simplifies doing business with the
Railroad. For example, customers can now use MyUPRR.com to trace up to 100
equipment numbers with the click of a mouse, and obtain real-time information
about their shipments without making a phone call.

OVERNITE TRANSPORTATION SERVING CUSTOMERS

Responding to its customers, Overnite Transportation last year greatly enhanced
its one- and two-day delivery network, expanded its full-state coverage and used
new technology to increase efficiency.

     With customers shortening just-in-time schedules, Overnite's upgraded fleet
reduced transit times and delivered over 63 percent of all freight within two
days.

     Most importantly, quicker transit times did not come at the expense of
reliability. Overnite's 166 service centers nationwide posted an on-time service
performance standard between 97 and 98 percent throughout the year. In 2000,
Overnite also became the first nationwide LTL carrier to offer guaranteed pickup
service.

     Overnite expanded Advantage Overnite to bring full-state coverage to 32
states east of the Rockies and continues to directly serve all major markets in
the western states. On the international front, Overnite increased coverage in
Canada and introduced expedited service into Mexico.

     Overnite also unveiled its latest e-commerce offerings, enabling customers
to set up personalized, secure websites to electronically receive copies of all
shipping documents, trace and track shipments, receive rates, and create bills
of lading online.

FENIX MAXIMIZING VALUE

Fenix was formed in June 2000 to further develop and grow revenue generated by
Union Pacific's technology resources, which represent untapped value in the new
economy. Fenix companies serve various markets and customers:

     Transentric focuses on improving supply chain performance in the
business-to-business marketplace.

     Nexterna helps companies stay connected to remote mobile resources -
people, vehicles and data.

     Timera provides a proactive environment for managing enterprise work
forces.

     Ekanet is developing a business that leverages Union Pacific's
telecommunications assets.

     Customer successes are already developing. Nexterna currently provides
mobile resource management solutions for 500 fleet vehicles that are operated by
Great Plains Locating Service, which provides utility locating and related
damage prevention services in seven Midwestern states.

     Transentric signed an agreement with Starbucks to implement "intelligent
messaging services" for the coffee-giant's ever-expanding network of stores,
suppliers and customers.

     Timera provides the Seattle Mariners with an automated personnel work
schedule, which all employees - from ticket takers to ushers to security - can
view through the Internet.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

This review should be read in combination with the consolidated financial
statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements and supplementary
information.

Union Pacific Corporation (UPC or the Corporation) consists of one reportable
segment, rail transportation, and UPC's other product lines (Other Operations).
The rail segment includes the operations of the Corporation's wholly owned
subsidiary, Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) and UPRR's subsidiaries and
rail affiliates (collectively, the Railroad). Other Operations includes the
trucking product line (Overnite Transportation Company or Overnite), as well as
the "other" product line operations that include the corporate holding company
(which largely supports the Railroad), Fenix LLC and affiliated technology
companies (Fenix), self-insurance activities, and all appropriate consolidating
entries (see note 1 to the consolidated financial statements).

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

In 2000, the Corporation continued to focus on its core rail transportation
business by investing approximately $1.7 billion in capital-related assets at
the Railroad. The capital assets are used to sustain current operations and
introduce innovative rail services across every commodity line. The
Corporation's rail investments in the last five years include the 1996
acquisition of Southern Pacific Rail Corporation (Southern Pacific), and the
1997 and 1999 investments in the Pacific-North and Chihuahua Pacific lines in
Mexico. The details of the Corporation's key strategic transactions in recent
years are as follows:

FENIX - During 2000, the Corporation announced the formation of a new
subsidiary, Fenix, to develop and expand the Corporation's technology and
telecommunication assets beyond the Corporation's core transportation business.

MEXICAN RAILWAY CONCESSION - During 1997, the Railroad and a consortium of
partners were granted a 50-year concession to operate the Pacific-North and
Chihuahua Pacific lines in Mexico and a 25% stake in the Mexico City Terminal
Company at a price of $525 million. The consortium assumed operational control
of both lines in 1998. In March 1999, the Railroad purchased an additional 13%
ownership interest for $87 million from one of its partners. The Railroad
currently holds a 26% ownership share in the consortium. This investment is
accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

OVERNITE - In May 1998, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved a formal
plan to divest of UPC's investment in Overnite through an initial public
offering. However, market conditions deteriorated to the point that UPC did not
consummate the offering (see note 1 to the consolidated financial statements).

SKYWAY - In November 1998, the Corporation completed the sale of Skyway Freight
Systems, Inc. (Skyway), a wholly owned subsidiary. Skyway provided contract
logistics and supply chain management services. The proceeds were used to repay
outstanding debt. The sale of Skyway generated a net after-tax loss of $50
million (see note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).

SOUTHERN PACIFIC - During 2000, UPC continued its integration of Southern
Pacific's rail operations. This process is expected to be completed in 2001 (see
notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements). UPC consummated the
acquisition of Southern Pacific in September 1996 for $4.1 billion. Sixty
percent of the outstanding Southern Pacific common shares were converted into
UPC common stock, and the remaining 40% of the outstanding shares were acquired
for cash. UPC initially funded the cash portion of the acquisition with credit
facility borrowings, all of which have been subsequently refinanced with other
borrowings. The acquisition of Southern Pacific has been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting.

2000 COMPARED TO 1999 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED

NET INCOME - The Corporation reported net income of $842 million ($3.42 per
basic share and $3.34 per diluted share) in 2000, including a $115 million
pre-tax ($72 million after-tax) charge related to a work force reduction plan at
the Railroad (see note 15 to the consolidated financial statements). Excluding
the effect of the charge, net income grew to $914 million ($3.71 per basic share
and $3.61 per diluted share) compared to $810 million ($3.28 per basic share and
$3.22 per diluted share) in 1999. The increase in net income was due primarily
to revenue growth, improved service levels and productivity improvements at the
Railroad, partially offset by significantly higher fuel prices. Net income for
1999 included a one-time after-tax gain of $27 million ($0.11 per basic share
and $0.10 per diluted share) from the adjustment of a liability established in
connection with the discontinued operations of a former subsidiary (see note 3
to the consolidated financial statements).

OPERATING REVENUES - Operating revenues increased $641 million (6%) to $11.9
billion in 2000, reflecting higher volumes in five of the six commodity groups
at the Railroad, higher other revenue at the Railroad and a 5% increase in
revenue at Overnite.

OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses increased to $10.0 billion in 2000 from
$9.4 billion in 1999, reflecting the work force reduction charge, higher fuel
prices, inflation, volume-related costs from a 4% increase in carloads at the
Railroad and increased depreciation expense. The increase in fuel prices added
$464 million to operating expenses in 2000 compared to 1999. Productivity
improvements and other cost control measures partially offset the increase in
operating expenses. Excluding the $115 million pre-tax work force reduction
charge, operating expenses increased $427 million (5%) to $9.9 billion.

     Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $26 million compared to
1999, including the work force reduction charge. Salaries, wages and employee
benefits declined $89 million (2%), excluding the work force reduction charge,
as lower employment levels and improved productivity at the Railroad more than
offset higher rail volume and inflation. Equipment and other rents expense
decreased $16 million (1%) as improved car cycle times and lower rental rates
more than offset increased Railroad volume and higher contract transportation
costs at Overnite. Depreciation expense increased $57 million (5%) as a result
of the Railroad's capital spending in recent years. Fuel and utilities costs
were $518 million (62%) higher than 1999 resulting from significantly higher
fuel prices and increased carloads, partially offset by favorable fuel hedging
(see note 4 to the consolidated financial statements). Materials and supplies
expense increased $3 million (1%) primarily due to volume-related increases in
car and locomotive repairs, partially offset by productivity and cost control
actions. Casualty costs decreased $18 million (5%) over 1999 as a result of
lower settlement costs at the Railroad. Other costs decreased $28 million (3%)
as productivity and cost control efforts more than offset volume-related costs
and higher state and local taxes.

OPERATING INCOME - Operating income increased to $1.9 billion in 2000 from $1.8
billion in 1999, as revenue growth and productivity gains at the Railroad more
than offset higher fuel prices, rail volume costs and increased depreciation
expense. Excluding the $115 million pre-tax work force reduction charge,
operating income increased $214 million (12%) to $2.0 billion.

NON-OPERATING ITEMS - Interest expense decreased $10 million (1%) compared to
1999 primarily due to lower average debt levels in 2000. Excluding the income
tax expense associated with the work force reduction charge, income taxes for
2000 increased $92 million (22%) over 1999 as a result of higher income levels
in 2000 and settlements in 1999 related to prior tax years.

KEY MEASURES - Net income as a percentage of operating revenues declined to 7.1%
in 2000 from 7.2% in 1999, including the work force reduction charge. Net income
as a percentage of operating revenues excluding the work force reduction charge
improved to 7.7% in 2000. Return on average common shareholders' equity was
10.1% (including the work force reduction charge) and 10.9% (excluding the work
force reduction charge) in 2000, up from 10.5% in 1999, reflecting strong
revenue growth and improved operations at the Railroad and Overnite. The
Corporation's operating ratio was 84.0% (including the work force reduction
charge) and 83.0% (excluding the work force reduction charge) in 2000 compared
to 83.9% in 1999.

   25

RAIL

NET INCOME - Rail operations reported record net income of $926 million
(including the $72 million after-tax work force reduction charge) in 2000
compared to net income of $854 million in 1999. The increase in income resulted
primarily from higher commodity and other revenue, improved operations,
productivity gains and lower interest expense, partially offset by significantly
higher fuel prices and volume-related costs. Excluding the work force reduction
charge, net income was $998 million in 2000.

OPERATING REVENUES - Rail operating revenues increased $591 million (6%) over
1999 to a record $10.7 billion. Revenue carloads increased 4% over 1999 with
gains in five of the six commodity groups. Other revenue gains were the result
of higher subsidiary revenues and increased accessorial services.

Agricultural - Revenue declined 1%, as a 4% decrease in carloads more than
offset a 3% increase in average revenue per car. Carloads decreased primarily
due to reduced export demand for wheat and corn and a lack of producer selling
in anticipation of higher prices. Revenue increased for fresh fruits and
vegetables primarily as a result of new express train service from the Pacific
Northwest and northern California to eastern markets. Beverage revenue increased
due to new wine shipments out of California and higher domestic beer carloads.
Average revenue per car increased primarily due to an increase in longer haul
traffic, particularly domestic corn shuttle shipments to California.

Automotive - Revenue increased 13% as a result of a 15% increase in carloads.
Both revenue and carload totals were all-time records, resulting from strong
demand for finished vehicles and parts, market share gains and improved rail
service. Business volume with Mexico was particularly strong due to increased
vehicle production levels and more reliable and expanded rail service. New
service offerings facilitated the conversion of automotive parts shipments from
truck to the Railroad. Increased container shipments of automotive parts, rather
than boxcar shipments, caused average revenue per car to decrease slightly.

Chemicals - A 1% increase in carloads combined with a 2% increase in average
revenue per car led to a 3% increase in revenue. Revenue growth was driven
primarily by an increase in average revenue per car for soda ash, fertilizer,
and liquid and dry commodities due to selected price increases. Year-over-year
carload improvements came mainly in the first half of the year, as a strong
economy and customer plant expansions led to increased market demand for
plastics, liquid and dry chemicals, and domestic soda ash. However, a softening
economy late in the year resulted in a 2% decline in fourth-quarter revenue
compared to 1999, with weakness in most areas of the chemical market.

Energy - Energy revenue was down 1% compared to 1999, despite a 3% increase in
carloads for the year. Average revenue per car dropped 4% as a result of
contract pricing provisions with certain major customers. In the first six
months of 2000, carloads declined compared to 1999 due to lower coal demand at
utilities resulting from high inventories caused by mild winter weather and Year
2000 (Y2K) stockpiles. In the second half of 2000, carloads increased over 1999
levels due to hot summer weather and the combination of cold winter weather late
in the year and a significant increase in the price of alternative fuels. Delays
due to severe winter weather partially offset volume gains in the second half of
the year.

Industrial Products - Revenue increased 5% on a 2% increase in carloads and a 2%
increase in average revenue per car. A strong economy in the first half of 2000
led to a general increase in demand for most business lines. The largest revenue
gains were in steel, lumber, cement and other building materials due to an
expanding construction market, especially in the south and southwest. New rail
services and generally improved service performance also contributed to the
increase in carloads. Starting in the third quarter, a softening in the economy
began to adversely affect business demand. Fourth-quarter revenue and carloads
decreased in nearly all business lines but especially minerals, steel, and
hazardous waste. The increase in average revenue per car was due to gains in
higher average revenue per car, steel and lumber carloads and selected price
increases during the year.

Intermodal - Revenue increased 11% due to a 7% increase in carloads and a 4%
increase in average revenue per car. Carload growth resulted from a strong U.S.
economy in the first half of 2000 and increased demand for imports from Asia.
Improved service performance led to an increase in carloads and revenue for
expedited premium service. New and expanded rail service offerings also
contributed to the gains. The increase in average revenue per car was primarily
the result of price increases and a longer average length of haul in some
markets.

OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expense increased $510 million (6%) to $8.8
billion in 2000 including the work force reduction charge. The higher expenses
are primarily the result of significantly higher fuel prices, inflation, volume
costs associated with a 4% increase in carloads and higher depreciation expense,
partially offset by productivity gains and other cost control measures.
Operating expenses increased $395 million (5%) to $8.7 billion in 2000,
excluding the $115 million pre-tax charge for the work force reduction plan.

Salaries, Wages and Employee Benefits - Including the work force reduction
charge, salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $19 million (1%) to $3.6
billion. Costs decreased $96 million (3%), excluding the $115 million pre-tax
work force reduction charge. The primary driver was productivity improvements
that resulted in lower train crew expenses despite a 4% increase in carload
volume. In addition, the average employee count decreased 4% from 1999 to 2000.
Partially offsetting these gains were volume-related costs and wage and employee
benefit inflation.

Equipment and Other Rents - Expenses decreased $20 million (2%) compared to
1999. The improvement was attributable to lower prices for equipment and
improvements in car cycle times, partially offset by higher volume-related
costs.

21
   28

Depreciation - Depreciation expense increased $55 million (5%) over 1999,
resulting from capital spending in recent years. Capital spending totaled $1.7
billion in 2000 compared to $1.8 billion in 1999 and $2.0 billion in 1998.

Fuel and Utilities - Expenses increased $496 million (63%). The increase was
driven by significantly higher fuel prices (which added $444 million of
additional costs) and higher volume. Fuel prices were 90 cents per gallon in
2000 compared to 56 cents per gallon in 1999, including taxes, transportation
costs, and regional pricing spreads. The Railroad hedged approximately 10% of
its fuel consumption for the year, which decreased fuel costs by $52 million. As
of December 31, 2000, expected fuel consumption for 2001 is 8% hedged at 68
cents per gallon excluding taxes, transportation costs, and regional pricing
spreads (see note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

Materials and Supplies - Expenses increased $6 million (1%), reflecting
volume-related increases in car and locomotive repairs, partially offset by
productivity improvements and cost control measures.

Casualty Costs - Costs decreased $15 million (4%) compared to 1999, primarily as
a result of lower settlement costs.

Other Costs - Expenses decreased $31 million (4%) compared to 1999. Cost
control, productivity gains, and lower contract services expenses more than
offset volume-related cost increases and higher state and local taxes.

OPERATING INCOME - Operating income increased $81 million (4%) to $1.9 billion
including the work force reduction charge. Operating income increased $196
million (11%) to a record $2.0 billion excluding the work force reduction
charge. The operating ratio for 2000 was 81.2%, excluding the work force
reduction charge, 0.8 percentage points better than 1999's 82.0% operating
ratio.

primarily as a result of lower average debt levels compared to 1999. Excluding
the effect of the work force reduction charge, income taxes increased $89
million (19%) for the year, reflecting higher income levels and 1999 settlements
related to prior tax years.

OTHER OPERATIONS

TRUCKING PRODUCT LINE

NET INCOME - Trucking net income increased $14 million (51%) to $43 million in
2000. The increase was primarily the result of revenue growth and decreased
expenses related to responses to activity by the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters (Teamsters). See "Other Matters - Labor Matters - Trucking" on page

OPERATING REVENUES - In 2000, trucking revenues rose $51 million (5%) to over
$1.1 billion. The growth resulted primarily from yield initiatives, new services
and the impact of a fuel surcharge assessed due to higher fuel prices. Partially
offsetting this growth was a 4% decline in tonnage compared to 1999.

OPERATING EXPENSES - Trucking operating expenses rose $18 million (2%) to $1.1
billion in 2000. Salaries, wages and employee benefits decreased $1 million as
lower volume, lower employment levels and productivity gains offset wage and
benefit inflation. Fuel and utilities costs increased $23 million (47%),
primarily as a result of significantly higher fuel prices (90 cents per gallon
in 2000

compared to 54 cents per gallon in 1999, including taxes, transportation costs,
and regional pricing spreads). Overnite hedged 9% of 2000 fuel consumption at an
average price of 39 cents per gallon excluding taxes, transportation costs, and
regional pricing spreads, which decreased costs by $2 million. As of December
31, 2000, Overnite has not hedged any of its expected 2001 fuel consumption.
Equipment and other rents increased $2 million (2%) primarily due to an increase
in purchased transportation costs in response to the ongoing Teamster activity.
Casualty costs and other costs decreased $7 million (5%), primarily due to lower
expenses related to the Teamsters' activity and also lower cargo loss and damage
expenses.

OPERATING INCOME - Trucking operations generated operating income of $53 million
in 2000, compared to $20 million for 1999. The operating ratio decreased to
95.2%, compared to 98.1% in 1999.

OTHER PRODUCT LINES

The other product lines include the corporate holding company (which largely
supports the Railroad), Fenix, self-insurance activities, and all appropriate
consolidating entries (see note 1 to the consolidated financial statements).
Operating losses increased by $15 million in 2000 compared to 1999. Operating
revenue declined $1 million year over year. Operating expenses increased $14
million, primarily due to increased spending at Fenix as part of its overall
strategy of developing new products and services.

1999 COMPARED TO 1998 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED

NET INCOME - The Corporation reported net income of $810 million ($3.28 per
basic share and $3.22 per diluted share) in 1999 compared to a net loss of $633
million ($2.57 per basic and diluted share) in 1998. Improved operations and
service levels at the Railroad, which resulted in higher revenues and lower
expenses, drove the increase in net income over 1998. Net income for 1999
included a one-time, after-tax gain of $27 million ($0.11 per basic share and
$0.10 per diluted share) from the adjustment of a liability established in
connection with the discontinued operations of a former subsidiary (see note 3
to the consolidated financial statements). Net loss for 1998 included a one-time
revaluation of Overnite's goodwill of $547 million pre- and after-tax ($2.22 per
basic and diluted share) (see note 1 to the consolidated financial statements).

OPERATING REVENUES - Operating revenues increased $723 million (7%) to $11.2
billion in 1999, reflecting higher volumes in all the Railroad's commodity lines
and increased revenues at Overnite, partially offset by the impact of selling
Skyway in November of 1998. Skyway generated $152 million in revenue during
1998.

OPERATING EXPENSES - Excluding the $547 million goodwill revaluation in 1998,
operating expenses decreased $705 million (7%) to $9.4 billion in 1999,
reflecting improved operations and service levels at the Railroad and continuing
benefits from the integration of Southern Pacific operations, partially offset
by increased expenses at Overnite. Salaries, wages and employee benefits
decreased $63 million (1%) in 1999 due to improved productivity and lower
corporate expenses, partially offset by higher rail volume and inflation.
Equipment and other rents expense decreased $93 million (7%) from 1998 primarily
as a result of improved rail cycle times, partially offset by higher rail
volumes. Depreciation expense increased $13 million (1%) in 1999 as a result of
increased capital spending for the Railroad's extensive capital programs,
partially offset by lower overall depreciation rates for equipment and track
assets. Fuel and utilities costs were $11 million (1%) lower than 1998 as lower
fuel prices, favorable fuel hedging (see note 4 to the consolidated financial
statements), and improved

23
   31

fuel efficiency more than offset volume-driven increases in fuel consumption.
Materials and supplies increased $25 million (4%) in 1999, due to higher rail
volume and increased fleet maintenance. Casualty costs decreased $97 million
(20%) in 1999, due to lower than expected settlement costs at the Railroad. The
$479 million (33%) decrease in other costs in 1999 reflected the impact in 1998
of customer claims expense, the impact of the 1998 sale of Skyway and lower
state and local taxes (primarily sales and property taxes) in 1999.

OPERATING INCOME - Operating income increased $2.0 billion to $1.8 billion in
1999, reflecting improved operations and service levels at the Railroad, which
resulted in decreased rail operating expenses and increased rail revenues.
Operating income for 1998 included a one-time revaluation of Overnite's goodwill
of $547 million (see note 1 to the consolidated financial statements).

NON-OPERATING ITEMS - Other income decreased $58 million (31%), due to the
impact in 1998 of a telecommunications contract buyout, sale of a company
aircraft, sale of the Southern Pacific headquarters building and an insurance
recovery for 1997 flood damage received in 1998. Interest expense increased $19
million (3%) as a result of increased average debt levels year over year caused
by increased borrowings in 1998. Income taxes for 1999 increased $482 million as
a result of higher income before income taxes, partially offset by settlements
related to prior tax years.

KEY MEASURES - Net income as a percentage of operating revenues improved to 7.2%
from (0.8%) in 1998 (excluding the one-time revaluation of goodwill at Overnite
in 1998). Return on average common shareholders' equity was 10.5% in 1999, up
from (1.1%) in 1998 (excluding the one-time revaluation of goodwill at Overnite
in 1998), reflecting improved service levels and operations at the Railroad. The
Corporation's operating ratio was 83.9% in 1999 compared to 96.3% in 1998
(excluding the $547 million of goodwill revaluation and $15 million goodwill
amortization).

RAIL

NET INCOME - During 1999, the Railroad continued the earnings improvement that
began in the third quarter of 1998. The Railroad continued to benefit from the
service recovery process implemented in 1997 and 1998. Rail operations reported
net income of $854 million compared to net income of $27 million in 1998. The
increase resulted from improved operations and service levels, increased
revenues in all commodity lines and lower operating costs.

OPERATING REVENUES - Rail operating revenues increased $811 million (9%) to
$10.1 billion. Revenue carloads increased 7% over 1998 with gains in each
commodity group. The increase in revenue carloads resulted from improved
service, market share recovery and a strong economy.

Agricultural - Revenue increased 9%, reflecting an 8% improvement in carloads.
Carloads increased primarily due to stronger exports and improved service
levels, which resulted in increased shipments of wheat, corn, meals and oils,
fresh products and beverages. Carloads also increased due to pre-harvest
shipments of stored crops to clear storage. Average revenue per car was flat, as
longer hauls in meals and oils and a price increase on wheat shipments were
offset by a shift in corn movements to shorter-haul Gulf Coast moves versus
longer-haul Pacific Northwest moves.

Automotive - Revenue rose 12%, as a result of a 10% increase in carloads and a
1% rise in average revenue per car. The year-over-year increase was driven by
improved market coverage and price increases in a year of record vehicle
production. Improvements in service and the negative impact in 1998 of a strike
against a major auto manufacturer also contributed to the increase in revenue.
These gains were partially offset by the negative impact on rail traffic, due to
the implementation of the joint acquisition of Conrail by two other major
railroads. Average revenue per car increased 1% due to a change in mix and
pricing actions.

Chemicals - A 3% increase in chemical carloads drove a 4% increase in revenue.
Shipments increased due to improved service levels and increased demand for
plastics, liquid and dry chemicals and phosphorous. These gains were partially
offset by lower sulfur moves resulting from decreased production in response to
weak demand, and a decline in fertilizer moves resulting from depressed demand
for U.S. farm commodities. Average revenue per car was level, reflecting traffic
improvements in longer-haul plastics offset by shorter-haul petroleum and export
sulfur moves.

25
   33

Energy - Revenue was up 9%, as a result of a 6% improvement in carloads and a 2%
rise in average revenue per car. The volume increase was due to increases in the
number of Powder River Basin trains per day, tons per car and average train
length. Colorado and Utah volumes also increased, due to improved service.
Average revenue per car increased resulting from longer-haul Powder River Basin
traffic and an increase in tons per car.

Industrial Products - Revenue increased 6%, due to stronger demand and improved
service. Carloads were up 6% because of increases in lumber, stone and cement
moves, caused by strong construction demand; shipments of recyclables grew
through new business. Gains were partially offset by decreased steel and ferrous
scrap carloads due to higher imports of lower-priced foreign steel and lost
volumes from a major steel producer who filed for bankruptcy. Gains were also
partially offset by the negative impact on rail traffic, due to the
implementation of the joint acquisition of Conrail by two other major railroads.

25
   34

Intermodal - Revenue increased 14%, driven by an 8% increase in carloads and a
5% increase in average revenue per car. Carloads improved due to strong demand
from growth in imports from Asia, service improvements and a new premium service
offering. Average revenue per car increased, due to longer-haul shipments and
demand-driven price increases.

OPERATING EXPENSES - Operating expenses decreased $578 million (7%) to $8.3
billion in 1999. The lower expenses reflected improved operating efficiency and
service levels and benefits resulting from the continuing integration of
Southern Pacific operations.

Salaries, Wages and Employee Benefits - Labor costs decreased $29 million (1%),
due to productivity gains that resulted in reduced crew costs and lower recrew
rates, partially offset by increases resulting from volume and inflation and
one-time costs recorded in 1999 related to the Southern Pacific merger (see note
2 to the consolidated financial statements).

Equipment and Other Rents - Expenses decreased $93 million (7%), due primarily
to improvements in cycle time as well as lower prices, partially offset by
higher volume.

Depreciation - Expenses increased $31 million (3%), reflecting increased capital
spending in recent years, partially offset by lower depreciation rates for
equipment and track assets. Capital spending totaled $1.8 billion in 1999
compared to $2.0 billion in 1998.

Fuel and Utilities - Expenses were down $9 million (1%). The decrease was driven
by lower fuel prices and improved consumption rates, partially offset by higher
volume. The Railroad hedged 68% of its fuel consumption for 1999 at an average
of 41 cents per gallon (excluding taxes, transportation charges and regional
pricing spreads), which decreased fuel costs by $53 million. At December 31,
1999, expected fuel consumption for 2000 was 10% hedged at an average of 40
cents per gallon (excluding taxes, transportation charges and regional pricing
spreads). At December 31, 1998, 64% of 1999 expected fuel consumption was hedged
(see note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

Materials and Supplies - Costs increased $25 million (5%), reflecting higher
volumes and increased fleet maintenance.

Casualty Costs - Costs declined $89 million (21%), primarily due to the effect
of lower settlement costs. The decline also reflected an insurance refund
received in 1999 and decreased costs for repairs on cars from other railroads.

Other Costs - Costs decreased $414 million (33%), reflecting lower state and
local taxes (primarily sales and property taxes), and the impact in 1998 of
customer claims expense.

OPERATING INCOME - Operating income increased $1.4 billion to $1.8 billion in
1999. Both 1999 and 1998 operating income included the impact of one-time costs
related to the Southern Pacific merger for severance, relocation and training of
employees. The operating ratio in 1999 was 82.0%, 13.4 percentage points better
than 1998's 95.4% operating ratio.

NON-OPERATING ITEMS - Other income decreased $71 million (38%) in 1999, due to
the impact in 1998 of a telecommunications contract buyout, sale of a company
aircraft, sale of the Southern Pacific headquarters building and an insurance
recovery for 1997 flood damage received in 1998. Interest expense increased $15
million (2%) in 1999, as a result of higher average debt levels year over year
caused by increased borrowings during 1998. Income taxes increased $476 million
in 1999, reflecting higher income before income taxes, partially offset by
settlements related to prior tax years.

OTHER OPERATIONS

TRUCKING PRODUCT LINE

NET INCOME - Trucking net income was $29 million in 1999 compared to a $522
million net loss in 1998. Overnite's 1998 loss included $15 million of goodwill
amortization and a $547 million charge for a revaluation of goodwill related to
the acquisition of Overnite by UPC in 1986 (see note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements). Overnite's 1999 net income was adversely impacted by a 7%
reduction in volume in the fourth quarter and expenses related to Overnite's
contingency plan in response to activity by the Teamsters.

26
   36

OPERATING REVENUES - Trucking revenues increased $28 million (3%) to $1.1
billion in 1999. The revenue increase resulted from yield initiatives as well as
a new product offering in the northeast United States and Texas.

OPERATING EXPENSES - Trucking operating expenses increased $62 million (6%) to
$1.0 billion in 1999 (excluding the $547 million goodwill revaluation and $15
million goodwill amortization in 1998), approximately $27 million of which
relates to expenses incurred implementing the work stoppage contingency plan.
Salaries, wages and employee benefit costs increased $35 million (6%) to $651
million, reflecting wage and benefit enhancements. Fuel and utilities costs
increased $3 million (7%) to $49 million in 1999, due to higher consumption and
increased fuel price per gallon (54 cents per gallon in 1999 compared to 53
cents per gallon in 1998, including taxes, transportation charges and regional
pricing spreads), partially offset by favorable hedge activity. Overnite hedged
40% of 1999 fuel consumption at an average price of 45 cents per gallon
(excluding taxes, transportation charges and regional pricing spreads), which
decreased fuel costs by $1 million. At December 31, 1999, 10% of Overnite's
estimated 2000 fuel consumption was hedged at an average of 39 cents per gallon
(excluding taxes, transportation charges and regional pricing spreads). At
December 31, 1998, 41% of Overnite's expected 1999 fuel consumption was hedged
(see note 4 to the consolidated financial statements). Equipment and other rents
increased $12 million (14%) over 1998 due to contingency plan activity and
initial expenses in connection with new business gained as a result of closure
of a regional competitor.

OPERATING INCOME - Trucking operations generated operating income of $20 million
in 1999. In 1998, Overnite reported an operating loss of $508 million (including
the $547 million of goodwill revaluation and $15 million goodwill amortization).
The operating ratio for trucking operations increased to 98.1% in 1999 from
94.8% in 1998 (excluding the $547 million of goodwill revaluation and $15
million goodwill amortization).

OTHER PRODUCT LINES

In 1999, operating revenue declined $116 million (77%) over 1998, due primarily
to the sale of Skyway in November 1998. Operating expenses decreased $174
million (70%), reflecting the absence of 1999 costs associated with Skyway and
the consolidation of portions of the corporate staff with the Railroad's staff
in Omaha, Nebraska. Operating losses declined $58 million (60%), and losses from
continuing operations declined $38 million (28%), due to the corporate
consolidation and improved operations at the Corporation's technology product
line.

CASH FLOWS, LIQUIDITY  AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

FINANCIAL CONDITION

In 2000, cash from operations was $2.0 billion compared to $1.9 billion in 1999.
The increase reflects higher income from continuing operations and decreased
cash payouts in 2000 for merger-related expenses and customer claims.

         Cash used in investing activities was $1.5 billion in 2000 compared to
$1.6 billion in 1999. The decrease is due to reduced capital spending, the
receipt of a cash dividend from an affiliate, an increase in sales of real
estate and other assets in 2000 and higher investment activity in 1999.

   38

     Cash used in financing activities increased to $486 million from $256
million in 1999. This increase reflects higher debt repayments ($796 million in
2000 versus $692 million in 1999) and lower financings ($509 million in 2000
versus $637 million in 1999). Including the Convertible Preferred Securities
(see note 7 to the consolidated financial statements) as an equity instrument,
the ratio of debt to total capital employed was 45.1% at December 31, 2000
compared to 47.6% at December 31, 1999.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

CREDIT FACILITIES - On December 31, 2000, the Corporation had $2.0 billion in
revolving credit facilities of which $1.0 billion expires in March 2001, with
the remaining $1.0 billion expiring in March 2005. The facilities, which were
entered into during March 2000, are designated for general corporate purposes
and replaced a $2.8 billion facility which was due to expire in April 2001. None
of the credit facilities were used as of December 31, 2000 or 1999. Commitment
fees and interest rates payable under the facilities are similar to fees and
rates available to comparably rated investment-grade corporate borrowers.

SHELF REGISTRATION - Under the currently effective shelf registration statement,
the Corporation may issue, from time to time, any combination of debt
securities, preferred stock or warrants for debt securities or preferred stock
in one or more offerings. At December 31, 2000, the Corporation had $600 million
remaining for issuance under the shelf registration. At January 18, 2001, the
Corporation had $200 million remaining for issuance under the shelf
registration. The Corporation has no immediate plans to issue equity securities.

SIGNIFICANT NEW BORROWINGS - During June 2000, the Corporation issued $250
million of floating-rate debt under its shelf registration statement with a
maturity date of July 1, 2002. The proceeds from the issuance of this debt were
used for repayment of debt and other general corporate purposes. During
September and November 2000, UPRR entered into capital leases covering new
locomotives. The related capital lease obligations totaled approximately $201
million and are included as debt in the consolidated statements of financial
position. In January 2001, the Corporation issued $400 million of fixed-rate
debt under its shelf registration statement with a maturity date of January 15,
2011. The proceeds from the issuance of this debt were used for repayment of
debt and other general corporate purposes.

OTHER MATTERS

PERSONAL INJURY - In 2000, the Railroad's work-related injuries that resulted in
lost job time declined 20% compared to 1999. In addition, accidents at grade
crossings decreased 10% compared to 1999. Annual expenses for the Railroad's
personal injury-related events were $207 million in 2000, reflecting lower
settlement costs, $228 million in 1999 and $311 million in 1998. Compensation
for work-related accidents is governed by the Federal Employers' Liability Act
(FELA). Under FELA, damages are assessed based on a finding of fault through
litigation or out-of-court settlements. The Railroad offers a comprehensive
variety of services and rehabilitation programs for employees who are injured at
work.

ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS - The Corporation generates and transports hazardous and
nonhazardous waste in its current and former operations, and is subject to
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. The Corporation has
identified approximately 400 active sites at which it is or may be liable for
remediation costs associated with alleged contamination or for violations of
environmental requirements. This includes 46 sites that are the subject of
actions taken by the U.S. government, 26 of which are currently on the Superfund
National Priorities List. Certain federal legislation imposes joint and several
liability for the remediation of identified sites; consequently, the
Corporation's ultimate environmental liability may include costs relating to
other parties, in addition to costs relating to its own activities at each site.

28
   39

     As of December 31, 2000, the Corporation has a liability of $177 million
accrued for future environmental costs where its obligation is probable and
where such costs can be reasonably estimated. However, the actual costs may
differ from these estimates. The liability includes future costs for remediation
and restoration of sites, as well as for ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes
any anticipated recoveries from third parties. Cost estimates are based on
information available for each site, financial viability of other potentially
responsible parties, and existing technology, laws and regulations. The
Corporation believes that it has adequately

28
   40

accrued for its ultimate share of costs at sites subject to joint and several
liability. However, the ultimate liability for remediation is difficult to
determine because of the number of potentially responsible parties involved,
site-specific cost sharing arrangements with other potentially responsible
parties, the degree of contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and quality
of volumetric data related to many of the sites, and/or the speculative nature
of remediation costs. The majority of the December 31, 2000 environmental
liability is expected to be paid out over the next five years, funded by cash
generated from operations.

     Remediation of identified sites previously used in operations, used by
tenants or contaminated by former owners required spending of $62 million in
2000, $56 million in 1999 and $58 million in 1998. The Corporation is also
engaged in reducing emissions, spills and migration of hazardous materials, and
spent $8 million, $5 million and $9 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, for control and prevention. In 2001, the Corporation anticipates
spending $65 million for remediation and $8 million for control and prevention.
The impact of current obligations is not expected to have a material adverse
effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Corporation.

LABOR MATTERS

Rail - Approximately 87% of the Railroad's nearly 50,000 employees are
represented by rail unions. Under the conditions imposed by the Surface
Transportation Board (STB) in connection with the Southern Pacific acquisition,
labor agreements between the Railroad and the unions had to be negotiated before
the UPRR and Southern Pacific rail systems could be fully integrated. The
Railroad has successfully reached agreements with the shopcraft, carmen,
clerical, and maintenance-of-way unions, and also implemented "hub-and-spoke"
agreements with the train operating crafts. Under the hub-and-spoke concept, all
operating employees in a central "hub" are placed under a common set of
collective bargaining agreements with the ability to work on the "spokes"
running into and out of the hub. Negotiations under the Railway Labor Act to
revise the national labor agreements for all crafts began in late 1999 and are
still in progress.

Trucking - Overnite continues to oppose the efforts of the Teamsters to unionize
Overnite service centers. Since the Teamsters began their efforts at Overnite in
1994, Overnite has received 90 petitions for union elections at 67 of its 166
service centers, although there have been only nine elections since August 1997,
and Teamsters representation was rejected in seven of those nine elections.
Twenty-two service centers, representing approximately 14% of Overnite's 13,000
nationwide employee work force, have voted for union representation, and the
Teamsters have been certified and recognized as the bargaining representative
for such employees. Fifteen of these 22 locations filed decertification
petitions in 1999 and 2000. Elections affecting approximately 400 additional
employees are unresolved, and there are no elections currently scheduled.
Additionally, proceedings are pending in certain cases where a Teamsters' local
union lost a representation election. To date, Overnite has not entered into any
collective bargaining agreements with the Teamsters, who began a job action on
October 24, 1999 that has continued into 2001. As of January 31, 2001, 30
Overnite service centers had approximately 495 employees, less than 5% of
Overnite's work force, who did not report to work. Despite the work stoppage,
Overnite has managed to improve its service, revenue and profitability on a
year-over-year basis.

INFLATION - The cumulative effect of long periods of inflation has significantly
increased asset replacement costs for capital-intensive companies such as the
Railroad and Overnite. As a result, depreciation charges on an
inflation-adjusted basis, assuming that all operating assets are replaced at
current price levels, would be substantially greater than historically reported
amounts.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The Corporation and its subsidiaries use
derivative financial instruments, which are subject to market risk, in limited
instances for purposes other than trading to manage risk related to changes in
fuel prices and interest rates. The Corporation uses swaps, futures and/or
forward contracts to mitigate the downside financial risk of adverse price and
rate movements and hedge the exposure to variable cash flows. The sensitivity
analyses that follow illustrate the economic effect that hypothetical changes in
interest rates or fuel prices could have on the Corporation's financial
instruments. These hypothetical changes do not consider other factors that could
impact actual results.

29
   41

Interest Rates - The Corporation manages its overall exposure to fluctuations in
interest rates by adjusting the proportion of fixed- and floating-rate debt
instruments within its debt portfolio over a given period. The mix of fixed- and
floating-rate debt is largely managed through the issuance of targeted amounts
of each as debt matures or incremental borrowings are required. Derivatives may
be used in limited circumstances as one of the tools to obtain the targeted mix
and hedge the exposure to variable fair value changes. In addition, the
Corporation obtains flexibility in managing interest costs and the interest rate
mix within its debt portfolio by issuing callable fixed-rate debt securities.

     At December 31, 2000, the Corporation has variable-rate debt representing
approximately 6% of its total debt. If interest rates average 10% higher in 2001
than the December 31, 2000 rate, the Corporation's interest expense would
increase by less than $5 million after tax. This amount is determined by
considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on the balances of the
Corporation's variable-rate debt at December 31, 2000. At December 31, 2000, the
Corporation has not entered into any interest rate swaps.

     Market risk for fixed-rate debt is estimated as the potential increase in
fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates as of
December 31, 2000, and amounts to approximately $307 million at December 31,
2000. The fair values of the Corporation's fixed-rate debt were estimated by
considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on quoted market
prices and current borrowing rates.

Fuel - Fuel costs are a significant portion of the Corporation's total operating
expenses. As a result of the significance of fuel costs and the historical
volatility of fuel prices, the Corporation's transportation subsidiaries
periodically use swaps, futures and/or forward contracts to mitigate the impact
of adverse fuel price changes. However, the use of these instruments also limits
future gains from favorable movements.

     As of December 31, 2000, the Corporation had hedged approximately 8% of its
forecasted 2001 fuel consumption. If fuel prices decrease 10% from the December
31, 2000 level, the corresponding decrease in the value of the Corporation's
fuel hedging contracts would be approximately $5 million after tax.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - There are various claims and lawsuits pending
against the Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries. The Corporation is also
subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations,
pursuant to which it is currently participating in the investigation and
remediation of various sites. A discussion of certain claims, lawsuits,
contingent liabilities and guarantees is set forth in note 12 to the
consolidated financial statements.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133), that would have been effective January 1,
2000. In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 133" postponing the effective date for implementing FAS 133
to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB issued
Statement No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities" (FAS 138). FAS 138 addresses certain issues related to the
implementation of FAS 133, but does not change the basic model of FAS 133 or
further delay the implementation of FAS 133. Management has determined that FAS
133 and FAS 138 will increase the volatility of the Corporation's asset,
liability and equity (comprehensive income) positions as the change in the fair
value of all financial instruments the Corporation uses for fuel or interest
rate hedging purposes will, upon adoption of FAS 133 and FAS 138, be recorded in
the Corporation's consolidated statements of financial position (see note 4 to
the consolidated financial statements). In addition, to the extent fuel hedges
are ineffective due to pricing differentials resulting from the geographic
dispersion of the Corporation's operations, income statement recognition of the
ineffective portion of the hedge position will be required. On January 1, 2001,
the Corporation adopted the provisions of FAS 133 and FAS 138. This adoption
resulted in the recognition of a $2 million asset on January 1, 2001.

     In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement No. 140, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities"
(FAS 140), replacing Statement No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (FAS 125). FAS 140
revises criteria for accounting for securitizations, other financial asset
transfers and

30
   42

collateral, and introduces new disclosures. FAS 140 is effective for fiscal 2000
with respect to the new disclosure requirements and amendments of the collateral
provisions originally presented in FAS 125. All other provisions are effective
for transfers of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring
after March 31, 2001. The provisions are to be applied prospectively with
certain exceptions. Management is currently assessing the financial impact that
FAS 140 will have on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

A LOOK FORWARD

2001 BUSINESS OUTLOOK

RAIL - The Railroad anticipates that revenue will continue to grow in 2001
despite signals of a weakening economy that were evident at the close of 2000.
The Railroad's diverse commodity base helps insulate overall financial
performance from weakness in individual commodity groups due to economic or
other factors. Fuel prices are expected to remain above historical levels during
2001, but should fall below the record levels of 2000. To help reduce the effect
of volatile fuel prices on earnings, the Railroad will continue to look for
opportunities to use hedge contracts. Emphasis will continue to be placed on
cost control. In addition, by developing innovative new rail services and
improving service performance and reliability, the Railroad expects to continue
to grow market share and raise overall customer satisfaction.

TRUCKING - Overnite expects to continue to improve financial performance by
focusing on customer service and by expanding new service offerings that have
been introduced in recent years. While fuel prices are expected to remain high
in 2001, reliable on-time performance and quality service should enable Overnite
to maintain profitable margins.

2001 CAPITAL INVESTMENTS - The Corporation's 2001 capital expenditures and debt
service requirements are expected to be funded through cash generated from
operations, additional debt financings and the sale or lease of various
operating and non-operating properties. The Corporation expects that these
sources will continue to provide sufficient funds to meet cash requirements in
the foreseeable future. Railroad-related capital expenditures will be used to
maintain track and structures, continue capacity expansions on its main lines,
upgrade and augment equipment to better meet customer needs, build
infrastructure and develop and implement new technologies. Overnite will
continue to maintain its truck fleet, expand service centers and enhance
technology. Fenix expects to invest capital to upgrade and develop technologies
which should generate increased business from third party sales.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

DELOITTE & TOUCHE

Union Pacific Corporation, its Directors and  Shareholders:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position
of Union Pacific Corporation and Subsidiary Companies (the Corporation) as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income,
changes in common shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Union Pacific Corporation and
Subsidiary Companies at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying significant accounting policies and notes are an integral part
of these consolidated financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Union Pacific Corporation (UPC or the Corporation) and all of its
subsidiaries. Investments in affiliated companies (20% to 50% owned or where UPC
exercises significant influence over an investee's operations) are accounted for
using the equity method of accounting. All material intercompany transactions
are eliminated.

CASH AND TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS - Temporary investments are stated at cost which
approximates fair value and consist of investments with original maturities of
three months or less.

INVENTORIES - Inventories consist of materials and supplies carried at the lower
of average cost or market.

PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION - Properties are carried at cost. Provisions for
depreciation are computed principally on the straight-line method based on
estimated service lives of depreciable property.

   The cost (net of salvage) of depreciable rail property retired or replaced in
the ordinary course of business is charged to accumulated depreciation. A gain
or loss is recognized in other income for all other property upon disposition.

   The cost of internally developed software is capitalized and amortized over a
five-year period. An obsolescence review of capitalized software is performed on
a periodic basis.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The Corporation reviews long-lived assets,
including identifiable intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the long-lived
assets, the carrying value is reduced to the estimated fair value as measured by
the discounted cash flows. The Corporation regularly assesses the recoverability
of its enterprise-level goodwill through a review of discounted cash flows.

REVENUE RECOGNITION - Transportation revenues are recognized on a
percentage-of-completion basis as freight moves from origin to destination.
Other revenue is recognized as service is performed or contractual obligations
are met.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying value of the Corporation's non-derivative
financial instruments approximates fair value, except for differences with
respect to long-term, fixed-rate debt and certain differences relating to cost
method investments and other financial instruments that are not significant. The
fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to
market values as quoted by recognized dealers or developed based upon the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the applicable U.S.
Treasury rate and swap spread.

   The Corporation periodically uses derivative financial instruments to manage
risk related to changes in fuel prices and interest rates. The Corporation does
not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

EARNINGS PER SHARE - Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated on the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted
earnings per share includes shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock
options and the potential conversion of the preferred securities where the
conversion of such instruments would be dilutive.

38
   51

USE OF ESTIMATES - The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation
include estimates and assumptions regarding certain assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and the disclosure of certain contingent assets and
liabilities. Actual future results may differ from such estimates.

CHANGE IN PRESENTATION - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 2000 consolidated financial statement presentation.

1.   OPERATIONS AND SEGMENTATION

Union Pacific Corporation consists of one reportable segment, rail
transportation, and UPC's other product lines (Other Operations). The rail
segment includes the operations of the Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary,
Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) and UPRR's subsidiaries and rail
affiliates (collectively, the Railroad). Other Operations include the trucking
product line

38
   52

(Overnite Transportation Company or Overnite), as well as the "other" product
lines that include the corporate holding company (which largely supports the
Railroad), Fenix LLC and affiliated technology companies (Fenix), self-insurance
activities, and all appropriate consolidating entries.

RAIL

OPERATIONS - The Corporation's only reportable segment is the Railroad,
including as of October 1, 1996, Southern Pacific Rail Corporation (Southern
Pacific or SP). In addition, during 1997, the Railroad and a consortium of
partners were granted a 50-year concession to operate the Pacific-North and
Chihuahua Pacific lines in Mexico. The Railroad made an additional investment in
the consortium in 1999.

   The Railroad has approximately 34,000 route miles linking Pacific Coast and
Gulf Coast ports to the Midwest and eastern United States gateways and providing
several north/south corridors to key Mexican gateways. The Railroad serves the
western two-thirds of the country and maintains coordinated schedules with other
carriers for the handling of freight to and from the Atlantic Coast, the Pacific
Coast, the Southeast, the Southwest, Canada and Mexico. Export and import
traffic is moved through Gulf Coast and Pacific Coast ports and across the
Mexican and (primarily through interline connections) Canadian borders. The
Railroad is subject to price and service competition from other railroads, motor
carriers and barge operators. The Corporation expects to complete the
integration of the operations of SP in 2001.

EMPLOYEES - Approximately 87% of the Railroad's nearly 50,000 employees are
represented by rail unions. Under the conditions imposed by the Surface
Transportation Board (STB) in connection with the Southern Pacific acquisition,
labor agreements between the Railroad and the unions had to be negotiated before
the UPRR and Southern Pacific rail systems could be fully integrated. The
Railroad has successfully reached agreements with the shopcraft, carmen,
clerical, and maintenance-of-way unions, and also implemented "hub-and-spoke"
agreements with the train operating crafts. Under the hub-and-spoke concept, all
operating employees in a central "hub" are placed under a common set of
collective bargaining agreements with the ability to work on the "spokes"
running into and out of the hub. Negotiations under the Railway Labor Act to
revise the national labor agreements for all crafts began in late 1999 and are
still in progress.

OTHER OPERATIONS

TRUCKING PRODUCT LINE

OPERATIONS - Overnite Transportation Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Corporation, is a major interstate trucking company specializing in
less-than-truckload shipments. Overnite serves all 50 states and portions of
Canada and Mexico through 166 service centers located throughout the United
States. Overnite transports a variety of products including machinery, tobacco,
textiles, plastics, electronics and paper products. Overnite experiences intense
service and price competition from both regional and national motor carriers.

EMPLOYEES - Overnite continues to oppose the efforts of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters (Teamsters) to unionize Overnite service centers. Since
the Teamsters began their efforts at Overnite in 1994, Overnite has received 90
petitions for union elections at 67 of its 166 service centers, although there
have been only nine elections since August 1997, and Teamsters representation
was rejected in seven of those nine elections. Twenty-two service centers,
representing approximately 14% of Overnite's 13,000 nationwide employee work
force, have voted for union representation, and the Teamsters have been
certified and recognized as the bargaining representative for such employees.
Fifteen of these 22 locations filed decertification petitions in 1999 and 2000.
Elections affecting approximately 400 additional employees are unresolved, and
there are no elections currently scheduled. Additionally, proceedings are
pending in certain cases where a Teamsters' local union lost a representation
election. To date, Overnite has not entered into any collective bargaining
agreements with the Teamsters, who began a job action on October 24, 1999 that
has continued into 2001.

39
   53

OPERATIONAL INITIATIVES - During 2000, 1999 and 1998, Overnite benefited from
several initiatives aimed at better matching its operations to the trucking
industry environment. These actions included work force reductions, service
center consolidations, centralization of the linehaul management process and
pricing initiatives targeting Overnite's lowest margin customers. Overnite has
also benefited from growth in its customer base generated by continuing
improvements in its service levels.

39
   54

ATTEMPTED SALE OF OVERNITE - In May 1998, the Corporation's Board of Directors
approved a formal plan to divest of UPC's investment in Overnite through an
initial public offering. However, market conditions deteriorated to the point
that UPC decided not to consummate the offering.

GOODWILL REVALUATION - During 1998, the Corporation changed its method of
measuring impairment of enterprise level goodwill from an undiscounted cash flow
method to a fair value method based on discounted cash flows. The Corporation
believes that a discounted cash flow approach is preferable since it provides a
more current and realistic valuation than the undiscounted method and more
closely matches Overnite's fair value. In connection with the change in
accounting policy with respect to measurement of goodwill impairment described
above, $547 million of goodwill related to the acquisition of Overnite was
written off during 1998. Generally accepted accounting principles preclude the
recognition of tax benefits associated with goodwill charges to income until the
tax benefits are realized. Should the Corporation realize a tax benefit
associated with the goodwill write-down in the future, this benefit may be
recognized.

OTHER PRODUCT LINES

OTHER - Included in the "other" product lines are the results of the corporate
holding company, Fenix, self-insurance activities, and all appropriate
consolidating entries.

CONSOLIDATED

RISK FACTORS - The Corporation's future results may be affected by changes in
the economic environment, fluctuations in fuel prices and external factors such
as weather. Several of the commodities transported by both the Railroad and
Overnite come from industries with cyclical business operations. As a result,
prolonged negative changes in U.S. and global economic conditions can have an
adverse effect on the Corporation's operating results. In addition, to the
extent that diesel fuel costs are not recovered through increased revenues,
improved fuel conservation or mitigated by hedging activity, operating results
at the Railroad and Overnite can also be adversely affected.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Southern Pacific - UPC consummated the acquisition of Southern Pacific in
September 1996 for $4.1 billion. Sixty percent of the outstanding Southern
Pacific common shares were converted into UPC common stock, and the remaining
40% of the outstanding shares were acquired for cash. UPC initially funded the
cash portion of the acquisition with credit facility borrowings, all of which
have been subsequently refinanced with other borrowings. The acquisition of
Southern Pacific has been accounted for using the purchase method and was fully
consolidated into UPC results beginning October 1996.

Merger Consolidation Activities - In connection with the acquisition and
continuing integration of UPRR and Southern Pacific's rail operations, UPC will
complete the elimination of 5,200 duplicate positions in 2001, primarily
employees involved in activities other than train, engine and yard activities.
UPC will also complete the relocation of 4,700 positions, merging or disposing
of redundant facilities, and disposing of certain rail lines. In addition, the
Corporation will cancel and settle the remaining uneconomical and duplicative SP
contracts, including payroll-related contractual obligations in accordance with
the original merger plan.

Merger Liabilities - In 1996, UPC recognized a $958 million pre-tax liability in
the SP purchase price allocation for costs associated with SP's portion of these
activities. Merger liability activity reflected cash payments for merger
consolidation activities and reclassification of contractual obligations from
merger liabilities to contractual liabilities. In addition, where merger
implementation has varied from the original merger plan, the Corporation has
adjusted the merger liability and the fair value allocation of SP's purchase
price to fixed assets to eliminate the variance. Where the merger implementation
has caused the Corporation to incur more costs than were envisioned in the
original merger plan, such costs are charged to expense in the period incurred.
The Corporation charged $10 million, $45 million and $474 million against the
merger liability in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The remaining merger
payments will be made during 2001 as labor negotiations are completed and
implemented, and related merger consolidation activities are finalized.

   The components of the merger liability as of December 31, 2000 were as
follows:

                                                                                                     DEC. 31,

MEXICAN RAILWAY CONCESSION - During 1997, the Railroad and a consortium of
partners were granted a 50-year concession to operate the Pacific-North and
Chihuahua Pacific lines in Mexico and a 25% stake in the Mexico City Terminal
Company at a price of $525 million. The consortium assumed operational control
of both lines in 1998. In March 1999, the Railroad purchased an additional 13%
ownership interest for $87 million from one of its partners. The Railroad
currently holds a 26% ownership share in the consortium. The investment is
accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Railroad's portion of
the consortium's assets and liabilities is translated into U.S. dollars using
current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The Railroad's
portion of the consortium's net income is translated into U.S. dollars at
weighted-average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The resulting
translation adjustments are reflected within shareholders' equity as accumulated
other comprehensive income.

3. DIVESTITURES

ADJUSTMENT TO 1994 LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - Net income for
1999 included a one-time, after-tax gain of $27 million, net of taxes of $16
million, from the adjustment of a liability established in connection with the
discontinued operations of a former subsidiary.

SKYWAY - In November 1998, the Corporation completed the sale of Skyway Freight
Systems, Inc. (Skyway), a wholly owned subsidiary. Skyway provided contract
logistics and supply chain management services. The proceeds were used to repay
outstanding debt. The sale of Skyway generated a net after-tax loss of $50
million, of which $40 million was recognized in 1997.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

STRATEGY AND RISK - The Corporation and its subsidiaries use derivative
financial instruments in limited instances for purposes other than trading to
manage risk related to changes in fuel prices and interest rates. The
Corporation uses swaps, futures and/or forward contracts to mitigate the
downside risk of adverse price and rate movements and hedge the exposure to
variable cash flows. However, the use of these instruments also limits future
gains from favorable movements.

MARKET AND CREDIT RISK - The Corporation addresses market risk related to these
instruments by selecting instruments whose value fluctuations highly correlate
with the underlying item being hedged. Credit risk related to derivative
financial instruments, which is minimal, is managed by requiring high credit
standards for counterparties and periodic settlements. The total credit risk
associated with the Corporation's counterparties was $2 million and $79 million
at December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The Corporation has
not been required to provide collateral; however, the Corporation has received
collateral relating to its hedging activity where the concentration of credit
risk was substantial.

   In addition, the Corporation enters into secured financings in which the
debtor has pledged collateral. The collateral is based upon the nature of the
financing and the credit risk of the debtor. The Corporation generally is not
permitted to sell or repledge the collateral unless the debtor defaults.

DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE - The fair values of the Corporation's derivative
financial instrument positions at December 31, 2000 and 1999, as follows, were
determined based upon current fair values as quoted by recognized dealers or
developed based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted
at the applicable U.S. Treasury rate and swap spread.

INTEREST RATE STRATEGY - The Corporation manages its overall exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates by adjusting the proportion of fixed- and
floating-rate debt instruments within its debt portfolio over a given period.
The mix of fixed- and floating-rate debt is largely managed through the issuance
of targeted amounts of each as debt matures or as incremental borrowings are
required. Derivatives are used in limited circumstances as one of the tools to
obtain the targeted mix. In addition, the Corporation also obtains additional
flexibility in managing interest costs and the interest rate mix within its debt
portfolio by issuing callable fixed-rate debt securities.

FUEL STRATEGY - Fuel costs are a significant portion of the Corporation's total
operating expenses. As a result of the significance of fuel costs and the
historical volatility of fuel prices, the Corporation's transportation
subsidiaries periodically use swaps, futures and/or forward contracts to
mitigate the impact of adverse fuel price changes. The following is a summary of
the Corporation's financial instruments at December 31, 2000 and 1999:

short-term debt has been estimated using quoted market prices or current
borrowing rates. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the fair value of total debt was
more (less) than the carrying value by approximately $56 million and $(160)
million, respectively. At both December 31, 2000 and 1999, approximately $1.3
billion of fixed-rate debt securities contain call provisions that allow the
Corporation to retire the debt instruments prior to final maturity subject, in
certain cases, to the payment of premiums.

SALE OF RECEIVABLES - The Railroad has sold, on a revolving basis, an undivided
percentage ownership interest in a designated pool of accounts receivable to
third parties through a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. Receivables are sold at
carrying value, which approximates fair value. The third parties have designated
the Railroad to service the sold receivables. The amount of receivables sold
fluctuates based upon the availability of the designated pool of receivables and
is directly affected by changing business volumes and credit risks. At December
31, 2000 and 1999, accounts receivable are presented net of $600 million and
$576 million, respectively, of receivables sold.

     At December 31, 2000, the Corporation has a deferred tax asset reflecting
the benefits of $1,271 million in net operating loss carryforwards, which
expires as follows:

                                                -------

     The Internal Revenue Code limits a corporation's ability to utilize its net
operating loss carryforwards. The Corporation does not expect these limits to
impact its ability to utilize its carryforwards. The Corporation has analyzed
its deferred tax assets and believes a valuation allowance is not necessary.

     For the years ending December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, a reconciliation
between statutory and effective tax rates of continuing operations is as
follows:

                                                   2000         1999         1998

                                                           ------

MORTGAGED PROPERTIES - At December 31, 2000 and 1999, approximately $9.6 billion
and $9.4 billion, respectively, of Railroad properties secure outstanding
equipment obligations and mortgage bonds.

CREDIT FACILITIES - On December 31, 2000, the Corporation had $2.0 billion in
revolving credit facilities, of which $1.0 billion expires in March 2001, with
the remaining $1.0 billion expiring in March 2005. The facilities, which were
entered into during March 2000, are designated for general corporate purposes
and replaced a $2.8 billion facility which was due to expire in April 2001. None
of the credit facilities were used as of December 31, 2000 or 1999. Commitment
fees and interest rates payable under the facilities are similar to fees and
rates available to comparably rated investment-grade corporate borrowers. To the
extent the Corporation has long-term credit facilities available, commercial
paper borrowings and other current maturities of long-term debt of $663 million
and $593 million as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, have been
reclassified as long-term debt maturing in the years 2002 and 2001,
respectively. This reclassification reflects the Corporation's intent to
refinance these short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt
on a long-term basis through the issuance of additional commercial paper or new
long-term financings, or by using the currently available long-term credit
facility if alternative financing is not available.

CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SECURITIES - Union Pacific Capital Trust (the Trust), a
statutory business trust sponsored and wholly owned by the Corporation, issued
$1.5 billion aggregate liquidation amount of 6-1/4% Convertible Preferred
Securities (the CPS) in April 1998. Each of the CPS has a stated liquidation
amount of $50 and is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of
UPC's common stock, par value $2.50 per share (the Common Stock), at the rate of
0.7257 shares of Common Stock for each of the CPS, equivalent to a conversion
price of $68.90 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment under certain
circumstances. The CPS accrues and pays cash distributions quarterly in arrears
at the annual rate of 6-1/4% of the stated liquidation amount. The Corporation
owns all of the common securities of the Trust. The proceeds from the sale of
the CPS and the common securities of the Trust were invested by the Trust in
$1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of the Corporation's 6-1/4% Convertible
Junior Subordinated Debentures due April 1, 2028 (the Debentures). The
Debentures represent the sole assets of the Trust. The principal amount of the
Debentures held by the Trust at December 31, 2000 was $1.5 billion.

     The Debentures accrue and pay interest quarterly in arrears at the annual
rate of 6-1/4%. The Debentures mature on April 1, 2028, unless previously
redeemed or repurchased in accordance with the terms of the indenture (the
Indenture). The proceeds from the issuance of the Debentures were used by the
Corporation for repayment of corporate borrowings.

     The Corporation has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions and
other payments due on the CPS (the Guarantee). Considered together, the
Corporation's obligations under the Debentures, the Indenture, the Guarantee and
the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust governing the Trust provide a full
and unconditional guarantee by the Corporation of the Trust's obligations under
the CPS.

     For financial reporting purposes, the Corporation has recorded
distributions payable on the CPS as an interest charge to earnings in the
consolidated statements of income.

SHELF REGISTRATION - Under the currently effective shelf registration statement,
the Corporation may issue, from time to time, any combination of debt
securities, preferred stock, or warrants for debt securities or preferred stock
in one or more offerings. At December 31, 2000, the Corporation had $600 million
remaining for issuance under the shelf registration. At January 18, 2001, the
Corporation had $200 million remaining for issuance under the shelf
registration. The Corporation has no immediate plans to issue equity securities.

SIGNIFICANT NEW BORROWINGS - During June 2000, the Corporation issued $250
million of floating-rate debt under its shelf registration statement with a
maturity date of July 1, 2002. The proceeds from the issuance of this debt were
used for repayment of debt and other general corporate purposes. During
September and November 2000, UPRR entered into capital leases covering new
locomotives. The related capital lease obligations totaled approximately $201
million and are included as debt in the consolidated statements of financial
position. In January 2001, the Corporation issued $400 million of fixed-rate
debt under its shelf registration statement with a maturity date of January 15,
2011. The proceeds from the issuance of this debt were used for repayment of
debt and other general corporate purposes.

DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS - The Corporation is subject to certain restrictions
related to the payment of cash dividends. The amount of retained earnings
available for dividends under the most restrictive test was $3.2 billion and
$2.5 billion at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

     Rent expense for operating leases with terms exceeding one month was $652
million in 2000, $707 million in 1999 and $672 million in 1998. Contingent
rentals and sub-rentals are not significant.

9. RETIREMENT PLANS

BENEFIT SUMMARY - The Corporation provides defined benefit retirement income to
eligible non-union employees through qualified and non-qualified (supplemental)
pension plans. In addition, the Corporation provides a defined contribution plan
(thrift plan) to eligible non-union employees. All non-union and certain of the
Corporation's union employees participate in defined contribution medical and
life insurance programs for retirees. All Railroad employees are covered by the
Railroad Retirement System (the System).

FUNDING AND BENEFIT PAYMENTS - Qualified and non-qualified pension benefits are
based on years of service and the highest compensation during the latest years
of employment. The qualified plans are funded based on the Projected Unit Credit
actuarial funding method and are funded at not less than the minimum funding
standards set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended. The Corporation has settled a portion of the non-qualified unfunded
supplemental plan's accumulated benefit obligation by purchasing annuities.
Corporation contributions into the thrift plan are based on 50% of the
participant's contribution, limited to 3% of the participant's base salary.
Corporation thrift plan contributions were $11 million, $11 million and $10
million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
Corporation also provides medical and life insurance benefits on a cost sharing
basis for qualifying employees. These costs are funded as incurred. In addition,
contributions made to the System are expensed as incurred and amounted to
approximately $430 million in 2000, $426 million in 1999 and $411 million in
1998.

10.  STOCK OPTIONS AND OTHER STOCK PLANS

OPTIONS - The Corporation applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and
related interpretations in accounting for its stock plans. Pursuant to the
Corporation's stock option and retention stock plans for officers and key
employees, 5,541,561; 4,807,783 and 4,493,578 common shares were available for
grant at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Options are granted at
market value on the grant date and are exercisable for a period of 10 years from
the grant date. Options generally become exercisable no earlier than one year
after grant.

RETENTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK - The plans provide for awarding retention shares
of common stock or stock units (the right to receive shares of common stock) to
eligible employees. These awards are subject to forfeiture if employment
terminates during the prescribed retention period or, in some cases, if certain
prescribed stock price or other financial criteria are not met. Restricted stock
awards are issued to non-employee directors and are subject to forfeiture if
certain service requirements are not met. During the year ended December 31,
2000, 283,059 retention shares, restricted shares and stock units were issued at
a weighted-average fair value of $41.21. During 1999, 26,300 retention shares
and stock units were issued at a weighted-average fair value of $52.41. During
1998, 322,025 retention and restricted shares were issued at a weighted-average
fair value of $51.77. A portion of the retention awards issued in 1999 and 1998
are subject to stock price or performance targets. The cost of retention shares
is amortized to expense over the vesting period. In 2000, 1999 and 1998, UPC
expensed $6 million, $3 million and $16 million, respectively, to amortize
retention and restricted stock awards.

LONG-TERM PLANS - During the year ended December 31, 2000, the 1996 Long-Term
Performance Plan (LTPP) expired. The performance criteria set forth in the LTPP
were not satisfied and all retention stock and units awarded under the LTPP were
cancelled. In November 2000, the Corporation approved the 2001 Long-Term Plan
(LTP). The LTP includes certain performance criteria and a retention
requirement.

EXECUTIVE STOCK PURCHASE INCENTIVE PLAN - The Corporation adopted the Executive
Stock Purchase Incentive Plan (ESPIP) effective October 1, 1999, in order to
encourage and facilitate ownership of common stock by officers and other key
executives of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and allow ESPIP participants
to share in the same risks and rewards as the Corporation's other shareholders.

     Under the ESPIP, the participants purchased a total of one million shares
of the Corporation's common stock with the proceeds of 6.02% interest-bearing,
full recourse loans from the Corporation. Loans totaled $47 million. Deferred
cash payments will be awarded to the participants to repay interest and the loan
principal if certain performance and retention criteria are met within a
40-month period ending January 31, 2003. The cost of the ESPIP is amortized to
expense over the 40-month period. During the years ended December 31, 2000 and
1999, UPC expensed $9 million and $2 million, respectively, to amortize the
deferred cash payments.

DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE OF OPTIONS - The fair value of each stock option
granted is estimated for the determination of pro forma expense using a
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table details the number of
options granted, weighted-average option price of the options granted,

     The expense impact of the option grant is determined as of the date of the
grant and is reflected in pro forma results over the options' vesting period.

     Pro forma net income (loss) and EPS for 2000, 1999 and 1998, including
compensation expense for options that vested in each year, were as follows:

(a) During 1998, the Corporation implemented a broad-based option program that
granted each employee 200 options at $55.00 per share. This program resulted in
11,236,400 new options in 1998 and generated an after-tax pro forma compensation
expense of $28 million in both 2000 and 1999 and $21 million in 1998. The
conversion of these options may be effected with treasury shares and are not
issued under the stock option plan for officers and key employees.

12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

There are various claims and lawsuits pending against the Corporation and
certain of its subsidiaries. The Corporation is also subject to federal, state
and local environmental laws and regulations, pursuant to which it is currently
participating in the investigation and remediation of numerous sites. For
environmental sites where remediation costs can be reasonably determined, and
where such remediation is probable, the Corporation has recorded a liability. At
December 31, 2000, the Corporation had accrued $177 million for estimated future
environmental costs and believes it is reasonably possible that actual
environmental costs may differ from such estimate. In addition, the Corporation
and its subsidiaries periodically enter into financial and other commitments in
connection with their businesses. It is not possible at this time for the
Corporation to determine fully the effect of all unasserted claims on its
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity; however,
to the extent possible, where unasserted claims can be estimated and where such
claims are considered probable, the Corporation has recorded a liability. The
Corporation does not expect that any known lawsuits, claims, environmental
costs,

50
   76

commitments, contingent liabilities or guarantees will have a material adverse
effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity.

14.  ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS
133), that would have been effective January 1, 2000. In June 1999, the FASB
issued Statement No. 137, "Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging
Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" postponing
the effective date for implementing FAS 133 to fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB issued Statement No. 138, "Accounting for
Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" (FAS 138). FAS
138 addresses certain issues related to the implementation of FAS 133, but does
not change the basic model of FAS 133 or further delay the implementation of FAS
133. Management has determined that FAS 133 and FAS 138 will increase the
volatility of the Corporation's asset, liability and equity (comprehensive
income) positions as the change in the fair value of all financial instruments
the Corporation uses for fuel or interest rate hedging purposes will, upon
adoption of FAS 133 and FAS 138, be recorded in the Corporation's consolidated
statements of financial position (note 4). In addition, to the extent fuel
hedges are ineffective due to pricing differentials resulting from the
geographic dispersion of the Corporation's operations, income statement
recognition of the ineffective portion of the hedge position will be required.
On January 1, 2001, the Corporation adopted the provisions of FAS 133 and FAS
138. This adoption resulted in the recognition of a $2 million asset on January
1, 2001.

     In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement No. 140, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities"
(FAS 140), replacing Statement No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (FAS 125). FAS 140
revises criteria for accounting for securitizations, other financial asset
transfers and collateral, and introduces new disclosures. FAS 140 is effective
for fiscal 2000 with respect to the new disclosure requirements and amendments
of the collateral provisions originally presented in FAS 125. All other
provisions are effective for transfers of financial assets and extinguishments
of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The provisions are to be applied
prospectively with certain exceptions. Management is currently assessing the
financial impact that FAS 140 will have on the Corporation's consolidated
financial statements.

15.  WORK FORCE REDUCTION PLAN

Prompted by signs of an economic slowdown, the Corporation's Board of Directors
approved a work force reduction plan (the Plan) in the fourth quarter of 2000.
The Plan calls for the elimination of approximately 2,000 Railroad positions
during 2001. The positions will be eliminated through a combination of
attrition, subsidized early retirement and involuntary layoffs and will affect
both agreement and non-agreement employees across the entire 23-state Railroad
system. Most of the eliminations will occur during the first six months of 2001,
with the remainder completed throughout the year.

     The Corporation accrued $115 million pre-tax or $72 million after-tax in
the fourth quarter of 2000 for costs related to the Plan. The expense was
charged to salaries, wages and employee benefits in the Corporation's
consolidated statements of income. No cash payments or charges against the Plan
reserve were made in 2000.
