Item 4. Description of Securities.
-------------------------
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
--------------------------------------
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
-----------------------------------------
The Company is a Utah corporation. Section 16-10a-901 et seq. of
the Revised Business Corporation Act of Utah grants to a corporation the
power and in certain cases requires corporations to indemnify a person made
a party to a lawsuit or other proceeding because such person is or was a
director or officer. A corporation is further empowered to purchase
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer against
any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in such
capacity or arising out of his or her status as such capacity. The Company's
By-Laws provide for mandatory indemnification of its directors, officers and
employees in certain circumstances. The Company maintains insurance on
behalf of directors and officers against liability asserted against them
arising out of their status as such.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation eliminate in certain
circumstances the personal liability of directors of the Company for monetary
damages for a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors. This provision
does not eliminate the liability of a director for (i) the amount of a
financial benefit received by a director to which he or she is not entitled,
(ii) an intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or the shareholders,
(iii) a violation of Section 16-10a-842 of the Revised Business
Corporation Act of Utah (relating to the liability of directors for unlawful
distributions) or (iv) an intentional violation of criminal law.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

24 - Powers of Attorney
Southern Pacific has received a letter of determination on
February 8, 1996 from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") that the Plan, as
amended effective January 1, 1989, was qualified under Section 401(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). The Company hereby
undertakes to submit the Plan and any subsequent amendment thereto to the IRS
in a timely manner and to make all changes required by the IRS in order to
maintain the qualification of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code.
Item 9. Undertakings.
------------
(a) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
a fundamental change in the information;
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of
this Section do not apply if the Registration Statement is on
Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to
be included in
<PAGE> 5
a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the Company's Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of the
Plan's Annual Report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act)
that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as ex-
pressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion
of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
