     "Section   7.   Restricted   Stock   and   Incentive   Stock   Units   with

     Notwithstanding  the foregoing  provisions of this Plan,  the Committee may
make an award to a  Participant  under  this  Plan of  restricted  stock  and/or
incentive  stock  units  that  is not  contingent  upon  prior  satisfaction  of
Performance  Goals as described in Section 4; provided,  however,  that, in such

units shall be contingent upon  satisfaction of one or more Performance Goals as
described in Section 4, under terms and conditions specified by the Committee in
writing at or prior to the time the award of restricted  stock and/or  incentive
stock units is made.  In no event shall any  restricted  stock and/or  incentive
stock units awarded under this Section 7,  together  with any  restricted  stock
and/or  incentive  stock units  awarded under Section 5.1 in the same Plan Year,
exceed the Maximum Restricted Stock/Incentive Stock Units Award."

6.       A new Section 16 is added to the Plan to read as follows:


         "Section 16.  Deferral of Awards.

     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 bonus portion
of a Performance  Award.  An amount thus deferred shall be deemed  invested in a
number of incentive stock units equal to the quotient of such cash bonus divided
by the closing  market  price of a share of Common  Stock on the date such bonus
would otherwise be payable. Such incentive stock units shall be awarded pursuant
to the MCI  Communications  Corporation  Stock Option  Plan,  subject to all the
provisions thereof."

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.
