All amounts contributed to the Plan, as increased or decreased by income,
expenditure, appreciation and depreciation, shall constitute a single fund known
as the Trust Fund.  The Trust Fund shall be invested in an Investment Fund A and
a Guaranteed Principal Investment Fund in accordance with the following:

 

(A)           THE ASSETS OF INVESTMENT FUND A SHALL BE INVESTED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT, EXCEPT THAT NOTWITHSTANDING THE
PROVISIONS OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT:

 

(1)           THE ANNUAL EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION TO THE PLAN ALLOCABLE TO
INVESTMENT FUND A SHALL BE INVESTED INITIALLY IN THE SHORT-TERM INVESTMENT FUND

CORPORATION MASTER TRUST) AND THEREAFTER SHALL BE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER TO OR FROM
ANY OTHER INVESTMENT FUND(S) AS PROVIDED HEREIN AND IN THE TRUST

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

AGREEMENT AND THE TRUST AGREEMENT FOR ALLTEL CORPORATION MASTER TRUST.

 

(2)           ASSETS OF INVESTMENT FUND A SHALL BE INVESTED IN THE ALLTEL
CORPORATION COMMON STOCK FUND (AS DESCRIBED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT AND THE TRUST
AGREEMENT FOR ALLTEL CORPORATION MASTER TRUST) (THE “ALLTEL STOCK FUND”) AS
PROVIDED HEREIN AND IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT AND THE TRUST AGREEMENT FOR ALLTEL
CORPORATION MASTER TRUST.  ALL DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND PROCEEDS WITH
RESPECT TO ASSETS INVESTED IN THE ALLTEL STOCK FUND SHALL BE ALLOCATED TO THE
ALLTEL STOCK FUND.  THE INVESTMENT OF ASSETS OF INVESTMENT FUND A IN THE ALLTEL
STOCK FUND SHALL NOT BE REDUCED BY THE CHARGING OF PAYMENTS (INCLUDING
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES) AND DISBURSEMENTS FROM THE TRUST TO THE ALLTEL STOCK
FUND, EXCEPT:  (A) PAYMENT OF THE COST OF ACQUISITION, SALE OR EXCHANGE
(INCLUDING BROKERAGE COSTS) OF ANY SECURITY OR OTHER PROPERTY HELD IN THE ALLTEL
STOCK FUND SHALL BE CHARGED TO THE ALLTEL STOCK FUND; AND (B) TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE PENSION INVESTMENT COMMITTEE DETERMINES THAT CURRENT PAYMENTS (INCLUDING
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES) AND DISBURSEMENTS FROM THE TRUST ALLOCABLE TO
INVESTMENT FUND A WILL EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF ASSETS OF INVESTMENT FUND A THAT ARE
NOT INVESTED IN THE ALLTEL STOCK FUND.

 

(3)           Investment allocation(s) of assets of Investment Fund A shall be
made from the ALLTEL Stock Fund to any other investment fund(s) or from any
other investment fund(s) to the ALLTEL Stock Fund as follows and only as
follows:  As of the last day of each calendar month (the “Monthly Valuation
Date”), the Trustee shall determine the percentage that the value of the assets
of Investment Fund A invested in the ALLTEL Stock Fund as of that Monthly
Valuation Date is of the value of the total assets of Investment Fund A as of
that Monthly Valuation Date (the “Monthly Percentage”).  If the Monthly
Percentage is less than the Investment Fund A ALLTEL Stock Range as of the
Monthly Valuation Date, the Trustee shall transfer assets to the ALLTEL Stock
Fund from another investment fund  (or investment funds), as provided in the
Trust Agreement and the Trust Agreement for ALLTEL Corporation Master Trust, in
an amount sufficient to cause the percentage that the value of the assets of
Investment Fund A invested in the ALLTEL Stock Fund is to the value of the total
assets of Investment Fund A to be approximately the Investment Fund A ALLTEL
Stock

 

Midpoint, based on the asset values of that Monthly Valuation Date. If the
Monthly Percentage is more than the Investment Fund A ALLTEL Stock Range as of
the Monthly Valuation Date, the Trustee shall transfer assets from the ALLTEL
Stock

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Fund to another investment fund (or investment funds), as provided in the Trust
Agreement and the Trust Agreement for ALLTEL Corporation Master Trust, in an
amount sufficient to cause the percentage that the value of the assets of
Investment Fund A invested in the ALLTEL Stock Fund is to the value of the total
assets of Investment Fund A to be approximately the Investment Fund A ALLTEL
Stock Midpoint, based on the asset values as of that Monthly Valuation Date. 
Any transfer of assets by the Trustee occasioned by the application of this
paragraph shall be subject to any limitation(s) set forth in the Trust Agreement
and the Trust Agreement for ALLTEL Corporation Master Trust.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the investment of assets in Investment Fund A
shall be subject to limitations under ERISA and Section 401(a) of the Code and
regulations issued thereunder.

 

(B)           THE ASSETS OF THE GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT FUND SHALL BE
INVESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TRUST AGREEMENT, EXCEPT THAT NOTWITHSTANDING THE
PROVISIONS OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT THE ASSETS OF THE GUARANTEED PRINCIPAL FUND
SHALL BE INVESTED (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) IN CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSITS, TIME
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS, MONEY MARKET FUNDS, GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACTS OR SIMILAR
INVESTMENTS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE PRINCIPAL INVESTED THEREIN.

 

The interest of each Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan in Investment
Fund A or in the Guaranteed Principal Investment Fund, as applicable, shall be
an undivided interest.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, by its duly authorized officer, has caused this
Amendment to be executed on this 29th day of July 2003.
