Retirement Date), over (ii) the supplemental pension
determined under Section 5.2.
(c) For purposes of this Section 3.6, the term "involuntary
termination" means any action taken subsequent to a
change in control by Union Pacific Corporation or the

vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then in
office who were directors at the beginning of such
10
period, shall for any reason no longer constitute a
majority of the directors of Union Pacific Corporation.
(e) In the event any amount paid or benefit otherwise
received by a Participant under the Supplemental Plan
shall be determined by the Internal Revenue Service to
constitute an "excess parachute payment" as such term
is defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and to be subject to
an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, or any
successor provision thereto (collectively, "Excise
Tax"), the Company shall pay to the Participant an
additional amount such that after taking into account
taxes, including interest and penalties with respect
thereto, incurred by the Participant on the receipt of
such additional amount, the Participant is left with
the same after-tax amount the Participant would have
been left with had no Excise Tax been imposed.
3.7 Pre-Termination Age and Service Grant. The pension to which a
Participant would otherwise be entitled hereunder shall be redetermined by
including in Total Service such additional years as may be approved by the
Chief Executive Officer of Union Pacific Corporation prior to termination of
Employment or by adding to such Participant's age such additional years as may
then be approved by the Chief Executive Officer of Union Pacific Corporation,
or both, but not in excess of five years in either case. All rights of a
Participant or his beneficiaries hereunder shall be determined on the basis of
such additional years.
3.8 Suspension of Benefit. Notwithstanding any provisions of Article
Three or Article Five to the contrary, the payment of the supplemental pension
to which a Participant is otherwise entitled under the Supplemental Plan shall
be suspended during any period for which payment of the Retirement Pension to
which such Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan is suspended under
the terms of the Plan due to such Participant's return to Employment. Upon
the resumption of payment of such supplemental pension to such Participant, no
actuarial or other adjustment shall be made to the amounts otherwise payable
to such Participant under the Supplemental Plan so as to reflect such
suspension.
11
ARTICLE FOUR
Manner of Payment
4.1 The supplemental pension to which a Participant is entitled under
Section 3.1, 3.3 or 3.4 shall be paid to him in the same form as the manner of

12
ARTICLE FIVE
Vesting
5.1 Termination Prior to Vesting. A Participant who terminates his
Employment prior to his Early or Normal Retirement Date and prior to his
completion of 3 years of Continuous Service shall not be entitled to any of
the benefits herein provided. If the Chief Executive Officer of Union Pacific
Corporation determines that the requirement set forth in the preceding
sentence of the completion of 3 years of Continuous Service would be
disadvantageous to the Company in the case of any Participant, such
requirement shall be increased to the completion of 5 years of Continuous
Service by the Participant. The Chief Executive Officer of Union Pacific
Corporation shall make his determination by the date the Participant
terminates his Employment.
5.2 Termination after Vesting. Except as provided in Section 6.2, a
Participant who terminates his Employment prior to his Normal or Early
Retirement Date but after his completion of 3 years or 5 years of Continuous
Service, whichever is applicable to him as determined under Section 5.1, shall
be entitled to receive, commencing on his Normal Retirement Date, the
supplemental pension accrued under the Supplemental Plan to the date he
terminated his Employment. In lieu thereof, such Participant may elect to
receive such supplemental pension commencing on the first day of any month
within the 10-year period preceding his Normal Retirement Date, in which case
such supplemental pension shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the
supplemental pension which would have been payable on his Normal Retirement
Date, based upon the difference in age between the Participant's age when such
supplemental pension is to begin and his Normal Retirement Date.
The immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply in the case of a
Participant (i) whose Employment terminates prior to his Normal or Early
Retirement Date but after the completion of 10 years of Vesting Service
(including in such Vesting Service not less than 5 years of Continuous Service
beginning not earlier than a Year of Service in which the Participant attained
age 22)(a "Vested Terminee") and (ii) becomes a "Transferred Employee" as such
term is defined in the Asset Purchase and Contribution Agreement among
Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A., Properchamp, Inc., Union Pacific Corporation,
Union Pacific Resources Company, Union Pacific Refining, Inc., and Champlin
Refining Company dated as of March 17, 1987. With respect to each Vested
Terminee, (i) employment with Champlin Refining Company and the benefit
accrued by such individual under all pension plans maintained by Champlin
Refining Company such be taken into account in determining the amount of the
supplemental pension payable from the Supplemental Plan and (ii) such
supplemental pension shall not be payable prior to the earlier of each
individual's Normal Retirement Date or the termination of employment with
Champlin Refining Company.
Therefore, each Vested Terminee who becomes a Transferred Employee shall be
entitled to receive, commencing on his Normal Retirement Date, a supplemental
pension equal to the lesser of (i) the supplemental pension accrued under the
Supplemental Plan, giving due regard to the provisions of Article Eighteen of
the Plan, to the date he terminates Employment or (ii) the amount, if any, by
which, determined as of the earlier of such individual's Normal Retirement
Date or the date he terminates employment with Champlin Refining Company, (A)
the sum of (I) the vested benefit accrued under the Plan computed on the basis
of the formula provided in Section 5.1 thereof and (II) the pension referred
to in clause "(i)", above, exceeds (B) the sum of (I) the vested benefit
accrued under the Plan computed on the basis of the formula provided in
Section 5.1 of the Plan and (II) the aggregate vested benefit, payable on such
13
individual's Normal Retirement Date, accrued under all pension plans
established by Champlin Refining Company. In lieu thereof, such Vested
Terminee may elect to receive his supplemental pension commencing on the first
day of any month within the 10-year period preceding his Normal Retirement
Date, but not earlier than the first day of the month contemporaneous with or
next succeeding the day he terminates employment with Champlin Refining
Company, in which case such supplemental pension shall be the Actuarial
Equivalent of the supplemental pension, if any, determined pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence, which would have been payable on his Normal
Retirement Date, based on the difference in age between such Vested Terminee's
age when such supplemental pension is to begin and his Normal Retirement Date.
5.3 Normal Form of Vested Benefit. The supplemental pension credited to
a vested terminated Participant shall be paid in equal monthly installments as
follows:
(a) if the Participant is married at the time payment is to
begin, his supplemental pension shall be paid in the
form of a 50% Contingent Annuitant Option calculated in
accordance with Section 6.3 of the Plan, with his
spouse as Contingent Annuitant.
(b) if the Participant is not married at the time payment
is to begin, his supplemental pension shall be in the
form of a life income pension, payable in equal
installments to him for life.
5.4 Optional Form of Vested Benefit. A vested terminated Participant
included in Section 5.3(a) above may elect at any time 90 or more days before
payment is to begin to receive his supplemental pension in the form of a life
income pension, payable in equal installments for life. If the vested
terminated Participant makes such election, no amount shall be payable to his
spouse under Section 5.3(a).
14
ARTICLE SIX
Employee Transfers
6.1 Transfers into Supplemental Plan from Other Supplemental Plans. If
any employee who is a participant in any other supplemental pension plan of an
Affiliate is transferred to the Company and is a Participant in this
Supplemental Plan after such transfer, such employee shall retain no rights in
the other supplemental pension plan from which he is transferred and shall
receive all benefits to which he is entitled under this Supplemental Plan,
based upon his Total Service which shall include as to such employee any
service used in determining his benefits under such other supplemental pension
plan.
6.2 Transfers to Other Supplemental Plans. If a Participant is
transferred to an Affiliate and becomes a participant in a supplemental
pension plan of the Affiliate after such transfer, such Participant shall
retain no rights in this Supplemental Plan if such other supplemental pension
plan has provisions that substantially conform to the transfer provisions for
the protection of transferees that are contained in this Article Six.
6.3 No Duplication of Benefits. There shall under no circumstances be
any duplication of benefits under this Supplemental Plan or any supplemental
pension plan of an Affiliate by reason of the same period of employment.
