2.       Section I is restated in its entirety to read as follows:


         "I.      DISTRIBUTION OF INCENTIVE COMPENSATION



     1. After the annual award,  if any, for a Participant  has been  determined
pursuant to Section D, the Committee  shall  determine  the portion,  if any, of
such award to be paid in cash and,  subject to Section J, the Company  shall pay
such cash amount to such  Participant  after  deduction of all legally  required
amounts (including  withholding taxes) and of amounts owed by the Participant to
the  Company.  The  portion of an award not paid in cash shall be awarded in the
form of a number of Incentive Stock Units  (including any fractional Unit) equal
to the  quotient of the dollar  amount of such  noncash  portion  divided by the
closing  market  price of a share of  Common  Stock on the  Pricing  Date.  Such
Incentive  Stock  Units  shall be  awarded  pursuant  to the MCI  Communications
Corporation Stock Option Plan, subject to all the provisions thereof,  and shall
become  fully  vested  and  nonforfeitable  according  to such  schedule  as the
Committee shall determine.

     2.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Company shall not
be required  to pay an  incentive  compensation  award to a person who is not an
Employee  on the active  payroll on the  payment  date  (except as  provided  in
Section F or G), or to a Participant whose individual  performance is determined
by the Chief Executive Officer to be  unsatisfactory.  Awards for a year will be
paid no later than March 31 of the following year."

     3. Section J is  redesignated as Section K and the following new Section J.
is added:

         "J.      DEFERRAL OF BONUS


     Subject to such rules as the Committee may promulgate  from time to time, a
Participant  may elect to defer receipt of part or all of the cash portion of an
annual  incentive  compensation  award.  An amount thus deferred shall be deemed
invested in a number of  Incentive  Stock  Units  equal to the  quotient of such
dollar amount  divided by the closing market price of a share of Common Stock on
the Pricing  Date,  increased in the  Committee's  discretion  by an  additional
number of  Incentive  Stock Units  determined  pursuant  to such  formula as the
Committee may establish. Such Incentive Stock Units shall be awarded pursuant to
the  MCI  Communications  Corporation  Stock  Option  Plan,  subject  to all the
provisions thereof,  and shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable  according
to such schedule as the Committee shall determine."

     IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  MCI  Communications   Corporation  has  caused  this
Amendment No. 1 to be executed and attested to by its duly  authorized  officers
and its corporate seal to be affixed hereto this 5th day of June, 1996.
