INTRODUCTION Allegheny Teledyne Incorporated (the "Corporation" or the "Registrant") is filing this Registration Statement because of the uncertainty as to whether the Deferred Compensation Obligations (as defined below) would or should be considered "securities" or be subject to registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The filing of this Registration Statement is not an admission by the Registrant that the Deferred Compensation Obligations are securities or are subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference. The following documents filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") are hereby incorporated herein by reference: (i) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, as amended by Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1); (ii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1998; and (iii) Current Reports on Form 8-K dated January 30, 1998, March 12, 1998, March 17, 1998, April 4, 1998 and May 29, 1998. All documents filed by the Corporation pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all of the securities offered hereby have been sold or which withdraws from registration such securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference and to be a part hereof from the filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement. Item 4. Description of Securities. The following summarizes the $40,000,000 of deferred compensation obligations ("Deferred Compensation Obligations") created pursuant to the Allegheny Teledyne Incorporated Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Plan filed as Exhibit 4 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Certain members of management and other highly compensated employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries are permitted to defer salary and bonuses, if any, pursuant to the Plan. When an employee makes a deferral election under the Plan, the Corporation retains the amount deferred and credits the value of such amount by book entry to an account maintained under the Plan for the employee of the Corporation or participating subsidiary of the 2 Corporation. The Corporation then assumes a general, unsecured obligation to pay the employee (a "participant") in the future the deferred amount in accordance with the terms of the Plan under which salary or bonuses were deferred, as adjusted during the deferred period in accordance with applicable investment measures as selected by the participant. Payments of the Deferred Compensation Obligations will be made from the general assets of the Corporation, except to the extent payments are made pursuant to insurance policies owned and maintained by the Corporation as described below. Each participant is a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation with a claim against the Corporation for the amount the participant has deferred, as adjusted during the deferral period in accordance with the applicable investment measures as selected by the participant. The Deferred Compensation Obligations are unsecured general obligations of the Corporation and rank equally with other unsecured and subordinated indebtedness of the Corporation from time to time outstanding. Participants receive quarterly statements about their accounts under the Plan. The Corporation determines the investment measures available under the Plan. Each participant may elect to allocate the participant's account among the available measures and may change the allocation in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Participants may not assign or transfer the Deferred Compensation Obligations, other than by designating a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive payment if a participant dies before receiving full payment of the amount credited to the participant's account, and the Deferred Compensation Obligations shall not be subject to alienation, encumbrance, garnishment, attachment, or execution by levy. Payment of Deferred Compensation Obligations generally is made at the time and in the manner elected by the participants at the time of the deferral election as permitted by the Plan. Payment elections for salary deferrals for a subsequent calendar year may be changed by filing a new election form on or before December 1 of the preceding calendar year. Bonus deferral elections are irrevocable and apply only to the bonus payable with respect to services performed during the calendar year for which the election is made Each participant (or, in the case of the participant's death, the participant's beneficiary) shall be entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan as soon as practicable following the participant's "Payment Eligibility Date". "Payment Eligibility Date" means the first day of the month following the end of the calendar quarter in which a participant terminates employment or dies. A participant receiving benefits under a short-term disability plan or on an approved leave of absence shall not be deemed to have terminated employment for the purposes of the Plan. The amount payable to a participant shall be the amount credited to the participant's account as of the participant's Payment Eligibility Date. Under the Plan, the Corporation will own and maintain one or more life insurance policies on the life of an insurable participant. If a participant dies at least 60 days following the first day of the month in which allocations are first made to the participant's Plan account and prior to the participant's Payment Eligibility Date, the participant's beneficiary will receive directly from the insurance company in a single lump sum an amount equal to the greater of (1) ten times the salary and bonus amounts allocated to such participant's account during the first 12 months in which the insurable participant receives allocations to the participant's account, and (2) two times the insurable participant's account balance as of the participant's date of death if the participant has not attained age 56 at the date of death or, if the insurable participant is age 56 or older at death, 1.5 times the insurable participant's account balance as of the participant's date 3 of death. If a participant dies before the 60-day eligibility period, his or her beneficiary will receive only the balance in the participant's account as of the participant's Payment Eligibility Date. Any benefits otherwise payable with respect to an insurable participant under the Plan shall be reduced by the value of benefits received by the insurable participant's beneficiary under the insurance policy or policies. If a participant dies on or after the participant's Payment Eligibility Date, the participant's beneficiary will not receive benefits under the insurance policy or policies and any death benefits will be paid to the Corporation. A participant may take an earlier distribution at any time prior to his or her Payment Eligibility Date equal to 90% of the participant's account balance by filing a request with the Corporation. The remaining 10% are a penalty and forfeited by the participant to the Corporation. In addition, such participant would become ineligible to participate in the Plan for the remainder of the Plan year and the following Plan year. The Deferred Compensation Obligations are not convertible into securities of the Corporation, and participants have no voting rights with respect to the Deferred Compensation Obligations. The Deferred Compensation Obligations will not have the benefit of any negative pledge or other affirmative or negative covenant on the part of the Corporation. No trustee has been appointed having authority to take action with respect to the Deferred Compensation Obligations and each participant will be responsible for acting independently with respect to, among other things, the giving of notices, responding to any request for consents, waivers or amendments to the Deferred Compensation Obligations, enforcing covenants and taking action upon any default. The Plan is administered by a Committee, consisting of at least three members, appointed by the Executive Vice President, Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation. Committee members serve without compensation for their services. The Committee has the full discretion to construe and interpret the terms and provision of the Plan, provided administration of the Plan is done in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner and in accordance with laws applicable to the Plan. A member of a Committee is not permitted to vote or act upon any matter which relates solely to himself as a participant. The Committee may appoint a Plan administrator or any other agent, and delegate to such person such powers and duties in connection with administration of the Plan as the Committee may specify. The Corporation's Plan Oversight Committee has general oversight power with respect to the Plan's Committee. The Corporation's Plan Oversight Committee has the right to amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to ratification by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Corporation's Board of Directors. No such amendment, modification, suspension or termination, however, will reduce amounts then credited to a participant's account. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. The validity of the securities of the Corporation being registered hereby has been passed upon by Melanie S. Cibik, Counsel - Corporate and Securities of the Corporation.

Such financial statements are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon the report of Arthur Andersen LLP pertaining to such financial statements given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") permits a Delaware corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, to limit or eliminate, subject to certain statutory limitations, the liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article SEVEN of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders in accordance with the foregoing provisions of Section 102(b)(7). Under Section 145 of the DGCL, a Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify directors and officers under certain prescribed circumstances and, subject to certain limitations, against certain costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which any of them is a party by reason of being a director or officer of the Corporation if it is determined that the director or the officer acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provision. Article EIGHT of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that any person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or an officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. The Corporation has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance covering certain liabilities which may be incurred by the officers and directors of the Corporation in connection with the performance of their duties. 5 Section 9.5.3 of the Plan provides that the Corporation shall indemnify and save harmless the Committee and each member thereof, the Plan Oversight Committee of the Corporation and each member thereof, the Chief Operating Officer, the Executive Vice President, Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer, the Director of Human Resources, and any delegate of the Committee who is an employee of the Corporation against any and all expenses, liabilities and claims, including legal fees to defend against such liabilities and claims arising out of their discharge of responsibilities under or incident to the Plan, other than expenses and liabilities arising out of willful misconduct. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. Not applicable. Item 8. Exhibits. The exhibits listed on the Exhibit Index of this Registration Statement are filed herewith or are incorporated by reference to other filings. Item 9. Undertakings. (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement. (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 a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. 6 (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the 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 registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 7 SIGNATURES The Registrant.

An election to defer 4 Bonus payable with respect to services rendered during a calendar year must be filed with the Director of Human Resources on or before December 1 of the preceding calendar year. 4.1.4 Duration of Salary Deferral Election. Any Salary deferral election made under Section 4.1.2 or Section 4.1.3 shall remain in effect, notwithstanding any change in the Participant's Salary, until changed or terminated in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.1.4; provided, however, that such election shall terminate for any Plan Year for which the Participant is not an Eligible Employee. A Participant may increase, decrease or terminate his or her Salary deferral election with respect to Salary earned during a calendar year by filing a new election, in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.1, with the Director of Human Resources on or before December 1 of the preceding calendar year. 4.1.5 Duration of Bonus Deferral Election. Any Bonus deferral election made under Section 4.1.2 or Section 4.1.3 shall be irrevocable and shall apply only to the Bonus payable with respect to services performed during the calendar year for which the election is made. For each subsequent calendar year, an Eligible Employee must make a new election, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4.1, to defer a percentage of his or her Bonus. Such election shall be on forms provided by the Committee and shall be filed with the Director of Human Resources on or before December 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the services that are to result in the Bonus are performed. 4.1.6 Extension of Election Deadline. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1, the Committee may extend the deadline for filing elections set forth in Sections 4.1.3, 4.1.4 and 4.1.5 from December 1 of a particular calendar year as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall give notice of such extension to all Eligible Employees. 4.2 Investment Elections. 4.2.1 Investment Options. The Committee shall select from time to time the types of mutual funds or contracts in which Participants' Accounts shall be deemed to be invested. At the time an Eligible Employee first becomes a Participant, the Participant shall file with the Director of Human Resources a form provided by the Committee designating which of such types of mutual funds or contracts the Participant's Account shall be deemed to be invested in for purposes of determining the amount of earnings to be credited to such Account. In making the designation pursuant to this Section 4.2.1, the Participant may specify that all or any 10-percent multiple of his Account be deemed to be invested in one or more of the types of mutual funds or contracts selected by the Committee. A Participant may change monthly the designation made under this Section 4.2.1 by filing with the Director of Human Resources an election, on a form provided by the Committee, at any time during a month, with such change to be effective as of the first day of the month immediately succeeding the date on which such form is filed. If a Participant fails to elect a type of fund under this Section 4.2.1, any prior election shall remain in effect or, if there is no prior election of types of funds, any deferral election made by the Participant shall be void. If a Participant who receives allocations to his Account only pursuant to Sections 5.3 and 5.4 fails to elect a type of fund under this Section 4.2.1, he shall be deemed to have elected the fund or contract designated by the Committee as the default fund. 4.2.2 Committee Selection of Funds. Although the Participant may designate the type of mutual funds pursuant to Section 4.2.1, the Committee shall select from time to time, 5 in its sole discretion, a commercially available fund or contract of each of the types selected pursuant to Section 4.2.1 to be the Funds. The Interest Rate of each such Fund shall be used to determine the amount of earnings to be credited to Participants' Accounts under Section 5.4. 5 Participant Accounts. The Committee shall establish and maintain an Account for each Participant under the Plan. Each Participant's Account shall be further divided into separate subaccounts ("mutual fund subaccounts"), each of which corresponds to a mutual fund or contract elected by the Participant in accordance with Section 4.2. A Participant's Account shall be credited as follows: 5.1 Salary Credits. As of the last day of each month, the Committee shall credit the mutual fund subaccounts of the Participant's Account with an amount equal to Salary deferred by the Participant during each pay period ending in that month in accordance with the Participant's election under Section 4.2; that is, the portion of the Participant's deferred Salary that the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of mutual fund shall be credited to the mutual fund subaccount corresponding to that mutual fund. 5.2 Bonus Credits. As of the last day of the month in which the Bonus is payable, the Committee shall credit the mutual fund subaccounts of the Participant's Account with an amount equal to the portion of the Bonus deferred by the Participant in accordance with the Participant's election under Section 4.2; that is, the portion of the Participant's deferred Bonus that the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a particular type of mutual fund shall be credited to the mutual fund subaccount corresponding to that mutual fund. 5.3 Prior Plan Credits. As of the Effective Date, the Committee shall credit the mutual fund subaccounts of the Participant's Account with an amount equal to 25 percent of the Participant's account balance under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date. As of September 1 of each of the following years, the Committee shall credit the mutual fund subaccounts of the Participant's Account with an amount equal to the percentage set forth below of the Participant's account balance under the Prior Plan as of such date: 1995 33-1/3 1996 50 1997 100 Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of a Participant's Payment Eligibility Date prior to September 1, 1997, the Committee shall credit the mutual fund subaccounts of the Participant's Account with an amount equal to any unpaid balance then remaining in the Participant's account under the Prior Plan. 5.4 Earnings Credits. As of the last day of each month in which any amount remains credited to a Participant's Account, each mutual fund subaccount of a Participant's Account shall be credited with earnings in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such mutual fund subaccount as of the last day of the preceding month by the Interest Rate for that month for the corresponding Fund selected by the Company pursuant to Section 4.2.2. 6 Vesting. A Participant's Account shall be 100 percent vested at all times. 6 7 Distributions. 7.1 Amount and Time of Distribution. 7.1.1 Payment as of Payment Eligibility Date. Each Participant (or, in the case of his death, his Beneficiary) shall be entitled to receive a distribution of benefits under this Plan as soon as practicable following his Payment Eligibility Date. The amount payable to a Participant shall be the amount credited to the Participant's Account as of his Payment Eligibility Date. 7.1.2 Payment Prior to Payment Eligibility Date. A Participant may elect by filing with the Director of Human Resources a form substantially as set forth in Exhibit "B" attached hereto to receive an amount equal to ninety percent of his Account balance at any time prior to his Payment Eligibility Date. If the Participant makes an election described in this Section 7.1.2: the balance of the Participant's Account not distributed to the Participant shall be forfeited to the Company; the amount to which he is entitled under this Section 7.1.2 shall be distributed to the Participant in a single lump sum within thirty days following such election; the Participant shall be prohibited from participating in the Plan for the balance of the Plan Year in which this distribution is made and the following Plan Year; and any elections previously made pursuant to Article 4 of this Plan shall cease to be effective. 7.2 Form of Distribution. 7.2.1 Pre-Retirement Distributions. If a Participant's Payment Eligibility Date occurs prior to the date of his Retirement, the Participant's Account shall be paid to such Participant in a single lump sum. 7.2.2 Post-Retirement Distributions. If a Participant's Payment Eligibility Date occurs on or after the date of his Retirement, the Participant's Account shall be paid to such Participant or, in the event of the Participant's death on or after his Payment Eligibility Date, his Beneficiary in the form of sixty quarterly installments. Such installment payments shall commence on the Participant's Payment Eligibility Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable and shall continue on the first day of each of the 59 calendar quarters thereafter. 7.2.3 Election of Optional Form of Distributions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2.2, a Participant whose Payment Eligibility Date occurs on or after the date of his Retirement may elect to receive distribution of his Account balance in a single lump sum, twenty quarterly installments, or forty quarterly installments provided that at least one year prior to his Payment Eligibility Date, the Director of Human Resources receives from the Participant a notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit "C" attached hereto, that the Participant elects to receive payment in one of such optional forms. Any such payment shall be made or commence to be made as of the Participant's Payment Eligibility Date. Any election made pursuant to this Section 7.2.3 may be revoked by filing notice of such revocation with the Director of Human Resources on or before the date which is one year prior to the Participants Payment Eligibility Date. 7 7.2.4 Method for Calculating Installments. If a Participant or Beneficiary receives payment of his Account balance in installments pursuant to Section 7.2.2 or 7.2.3, the amount of each quarterly installment payable during the Plan Year which includes the Participant's Payment Eligibility Date shall equal the Participant's Account balance on the Payment Eligibility Date divided by the total number of installments the Participant or Beneficiary is scheduled to receive. The amount of each quarterly installment payable during each succeeding Plan Year, other than the last Plan Year in which the Participant or Beneficiary receives installment payments under the Plan, shall equal the Participant's Account balance on September 30 of the preceding Plan Year divided by the number of installments remaining to be paid after the last day of such preceding Plan Year. The amount of each quarterly installment payable during the last Plan Year in which the Participant or Beneficiary receives installment payments under the Plan shall equal the Participant's Account balance on the last day of the second preceding calendar quarter divided by the number of installments remaining to be paid after the last day of the preceding calendar quarter, except that the final quarterly installment shall be equal to the remaining balance in the Participant's Account. 7.2.5 Small Account Balances. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.2, if a Participant's Account balance on his Payment Eligibility Date is $10,000 or less, such Account balance shall be paid in a single lump sum. 8 Pre-Distribution Death Benefit. 8.1 Amount of Benefit. The Company shall own and maintain one or more life insurance policies on the life of each Insurable Participant (collectively, the "Policy"). Until an employee of the Company (other than a Participant who has already been determined not to be an Insurable Participant) completes an application for the Policy, any deferral elections made by the employee pursuant to Article 4 hereof shall be void. If an Insurable Participant shall die at least sixty days following the first day of the month in which allocations pursuant to Article 5 of the Plan are first made to his Account and prior to his Payment Eligibility Date, his Beneficiary shall receive directly from the insurance company issuing the Policy in a single lump sum an amount equal to the greater of: 8.1.1 Ten times the amounts allocated to the Insurable Participant's Account pursuant to Sections 5.1 and/or 5.2 during the first twelve months in which the Insurable Participant receives allocations to his Account; or 8.1.2 Two times the Insurable Participant's Account balance as of his date of death if the Insurable Participant has not attained age 56 at the date of death or, if the Insurable Participant is age 56 or older at death, 1.5 times the Insurable Participant's Account balance as of his date of death. 8.2 Other Rules. 8.2.1 Reduction of Account Balance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any benefits otherwise payable with respect to an Insurable Participant under this Plan shall be reduced by the value of benefits received by the Insurable Participant's Beneficiary under the Policy. 8 8.2.2 Death on or After Payment Eligibility Date. If an Insurable Participant shall die on or after his Payment Eligibility Date, his Beneficiary shall receive no benefits under the Policy and any death benefits thereunder shall be paid to the Company. 8.2.3 Effect of Account Distribution Prior to Payment Eligibility Date. If an Insurable Participant receives a distribution pursuant to Section 7.1.2, for purposes of Section 8.1.1, the first twelve months in which he receives allocations to his Account shall be deemed to be the first Plan Year after such distribution in which he receives allocations under Section 5.1 or 5.2 and, for purposes of Section 8.1.2, the Insurable Participant's Account shall include only amounts allocated to the Insurable Participant's Account following such distribution and prior to his date of death. 8.2.4 Death Prior to Eligibility for Pre-Distribution Death Benefit. If a Participant should die before completing the sixty-day eligibility period for the pre-distribution death benefit set forth in Section 8.1, his Beneficiary shall receive only the balance in the Participant's Account as of the Participant's Payment Eligibility Date. 8.2.5 Failure to Remain Insurable. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 8, if a Participant satisfies the definition of an Insurable Participant (as set forth in Section 2.14) at the time he becomes a Participant, but fails to satisfy such definition thereafter, the pre-distribution death benefit payable to the Participant's Beneficiary shall equal the lesser of: (1) the pre-distribution death benefit determined under the foregoing provisions of this Article 8; or (2) the death benefit under the Policy payable to the Participant's Beneficiary at the time the Participant fails to satisfy the definition of an Insurable Participant. 9 Administration. 9.1 Committee Action. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, consisting of at least three members, appointed by and holding office at the pleasure of the Executive Vice President, Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer. The Committee shall act at meetings by an affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Committee. Any action permitted to be taken at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if a written consent to the action is signed by all members of the Committee and such written consent is filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Committee. A member of the Committee shall not vote or act upon any matter which relates solely to himself as a Participant. The Chairman or any other member or members of the Committee designated by the Chairman may execute any certificate or other written direction on behalf of the Committee. 9.2 Powers and Duties of the Committee.

Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or interest in any specific property or assets of the Company. No assets of the Company shall be held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of the Company under this Plan. The Company's obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future, and the rights of the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of unsecured general creditors.

There shall be deducted from each payment made under the Plan or, if such payment is not large enough, from any other funds payable to the Participant, all taxes which the Company determines are required to be withheld with respect to such payment under the Plan. The Company shall have the right to reduce any payment by the amount of cash sufficient to provide the amount of said taxes. 10.5 Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Company's Plan Oversight Committee may at any time amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, subject to ratification by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Company's 11 Board of Directors, except that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall reduce any amounts then credited to a Participant's Account.

Any payment, whether by the Company or an insurance company, to a Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary of an amount described in Section 5.3 shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims to such amount which the Participant or his Beneficiary or any beneficiary designated in accordance with the Prior Plan may have against the Company or any other person under the Prior Plan. The Committee may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect. 10.8 Payments on Behalf of Minors. In the event that any amount becomes payable under the Plan to a minor or a person who, in the sole judgment of the Committee, is considered by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to give a valid receipt therefore, the Committee may direct that such payment be made only to the conservator or the guardian of the estate of such person appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction or such other person or in such other manner as the Committee determines is necessary to assure that the payment will legally discharge the Plants obligation to such person. Any payment made pursuant to such determination shall constitute a full release and discharge of the Committee and the Company. 10.9 Miscellaneous. All pronouns and any variations thereof contained herein shall be deemed to refer to masculine or feminine, singular or plural, as the identity of the person or persons may require.

In conjunction with the furnishing of this opinion, I have examined the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws, each as amended to date, the Registration Statement, the Plan and such other corporate documents and have made such investigation of matters of fact and law as I have deemed necessary to render this opinion.
