<P><FONT SIZE=2>Item 9. Undertakings. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1)&nbsp;to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this registration statement (i)&nbsp;to include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, (ii)&nbsp;to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement, and (iii)&nbsp;to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i)&nbsp;and (1)(ii)&nbsp;shall not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement; and (2)&nbsp;that for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3)&nbsp;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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to
Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

Registrant or on the open market pursuant to The Newhall Land and Farming Company 2002 Equity Compensation Plan (the "Plan").
Item 3. Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference
The
Registrant and the Plan hereby incorporate by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the Commission by the Registrant:

All
reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of' 1934 after the date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not
applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not
applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The
Limited Partnership Agreement of the Registrant provides for indemnification by the Registrant of its general partners and their present or former partners, shareholders, directors
and officers (collectively, the "Indemnitees") in certain circumstances. The limited partnership agreement of Newhall Management Limited Partnership, a California Limited Partnership ("NMLP") and the
managing general partner of the Registrant, and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Newhall Management Corporation, a California Corporation ("NMC") and the managing general partner of NMLP,
provide for similar indemnification of such Indemnitees. In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements ("Indemnification Agreements") with the directors and certain officers
of NMC, which describe with more specificity the indemnification obligations of the Registrant.
The
Registrant has purchased liability insurance to supplement the protection afforded to Indemnitees by their indemnity rights under the terms of such charter documents and the
II-1
Indemnification Agreements, and to cover the Registrant's indemnity obligations. However, liability insurance is not necessarily available to cover the unlimited liability of the Indemnitees in
certain circumstances. In addition, NMC's Articles of Incorporation provide that the liability of directors of NMC for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under
California law.

Item 9. Undertakings.
A.    The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this registration statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement, and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement; and (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
B.    The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C.    Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
