                            SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION PLAN
                        (Restated as of January 1, 2001)

ARTICLE 1. PURPOSE

The purpose of the Viad Corp Supplemental Pension Plan (the "Plan") is to
provide deferred compensation to Eligible Employees (as defined in Article 3) on
and after January 1, 1976. It is the intention of Viad Corp (the "Company") that
Eligible Employees are those employees designated by the Company, or the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, pursuant to Article 3, from a select group of
management or highly-compensated employees of the Company, or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates ("Subsidiaries") and that the Plan continue to be
eligible for exemptions under Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA and U.S.
Department of Labor regulations. It also is the intention of the Company that
the Plan be unfunded, that any Eligible Employee's rights under the Plan are
those of a general creditor only, and that there be no elections with respect to
any benefits under the Plan by Eligible Employees. Subject to rights and
benefits expressly fixed by the terms hereof, the Company also intends that the
Plan may be amended or terminated and that benefits may be reduced or eliminated
as the Board of Directors of the Company determines from time to time and that
individuals' rights may be altered.

By adoption of this Plan document, the Company hereby amends and restates the
Plan, effective as of January 1, 2001.

ARTICLE 2. DEFINITIONS

Whenever used in this Plan, the following words and phrases shall have the
respective meanings stated below unless a different meaning is expressly
provided or is plainly required by the context. Capitalized terms not defined in
this Article, but defined in the Viad Corp Retirement Income Plan ("VCRIP"),
shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in VCRIP. Capitalized terms
applicable to a specific Schedule of Benefits, and not defined in this Article
or VCRIP, are defined in the applicable Schedule of Benefits.

(a)      "COMMITTEE" means the Viad Retirement Committee.

(b)       "COVERED COMPENSATION" means the average (without indexing) of the
          Eligible Employee's taxable wage bases in effect for each calendar
          year during the 35-year period ending with the calendar year in which
          the Eligible Employee attains or will attain Social Security
          retirement age, as determined under Internal Revenue Code
          Section415(b)(8). In determining an Eligible Employee's Covered
          Compensation for any calendar year, the taxable wage base for the
          current and any subsequent calendar

                                       1
<PAGE>   5
         year is assumed to be the same as the taxable wage base in effect as of
         the beginning of the calendar year for which the determination is being
         made. An Eligible Employee's Covered Compensation for a calendar year
         after the 35-year period is equal to his or her Covered Compensation
         for the calendar year in which the Eligible Employee attained Social
         Security retirement age. An Eligible Employee's Covered Compensation
         for a calendar year before the 35-year period is the taxable wage base
         in effect as of the beginning of the calendar year. Covered
         Compensation is automatically adjusted at the beginning of each
         calendar year

(c)      "CREDITED SERVICE" means the period or periods of employment counted as
         Service (as defined in VCRIP) that is not excluded from Credited
         Service under VCRIP or would not be excluded from Credited Service if
         the Eligible Employee was an active Participant under VCRIP.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Credited Service shall continue to be
         counted under this Plan with respect to Service on and after January 1,
         2001 under the same terms and conditions as applied immediately before
         2001, even though Credited Service under VCRIP does not include any
         Service after December 31, 2000. In no event, however, shall more than
         thirty (30) years of Credited Service be taken into account for any
         Eligible Employee under this Plan.

(d)      "ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE" means each employee of the Company or a Subsidiary
         designated pursuant to Article 3 and the applicable Schedule of
         Benefits as eligible to participate in that Schedule of Benefits.
         Except with respect to Schedule E, Eligible Employees covered by a
         particular Schedule of Benefits shall be listed in the corresponding
         Exhibit carrying the same letter designation.

(e)      "EXHIBIT" means the listing of Eligible Employees covered by the
         Schedule of Benefits with the same letter designation as further
         described in Article 3 and Article 9.

(f)      "FINAL AVERAGE EARNINGS" means the earnings used to determine benefits
         under this Plan as further described in Article 7.

(g)      "MIPs" means bonuses awarded under the Management Incentive Plan, or
         its predecessor or successor plan, as well as bonuses awarded as a
         special recognition award, special achievement award, spot award or, as
         determined by the Committee, pursuant to any other similar bonus
         program.

(h)      "PENSION PLANS" means all qualified and nonqualified pension plans
         sponsored by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than this
         Plan, the Viad Corp Capital Accumulation Plan, and the Viad Corp
         Employees' Stock Ownership Plan. For Eligible Employees whose Credited
         Service, determined under Schedule B, includes any period of employment
         with the Armour & Company controlled group, Pension Plan also means the
         Armour and Company Salaried Employees' Pension Plan (as it existed when
         terminated effective December 31, 1983) and any benefit comparability

         payment payable to such an Eligible Employee shall be treated as a
         monthly pension benefit payable from a Pension Plan for purposes of
         Article 6.

(i)      "PLAN" means this Viad Corp Supplemental Pension Plan, as amended.

(j)       "PRIMARY SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT" means the annual amount available to
          the Eligible Employee at age 65 (or at the time of his or her
          retirement, if later), as determined without regard to any increase in
          the wage base or benefit levels after December 31, 1997 under the
          provisions of Title II of the Social Security Act in effect on
          December 31, 1997, subject to any additional rules of VCRIP (and any
          predecessor plan) for calculating this amount. Notwithstanding the
          foregoing, for purposes of Schedule B', the Eligible Employee's
          Primary Social Security Benefit shall be determined based on the wage
          base and benefit levels as of the Eligible Employee's termination of
          employment under the provisions of Title II of the Social Security Act
          in effect on that date, rather than December 31, 1997, but still
          subject to any additional rules of VCRIP (and any predecessor plan)
          for calculating this amount.

(k)      "SCHEDULE OF BENEFITS" means each schedule attached hereto and made a
         part of this Plan providing for benefits to Eligible Employees listed
         in the corresponding Exhibit carrying the same letter designation.

(l)      "SUBSIDIARY" means any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

(m)      "VCRIP" means the Viad Corp Retirement Income Plan, as amended.

ARTICLE 3. PARTICIPATION

An employee of the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) may become eligible to
participate in the Plan (an "Eligible Employee") when approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company (or a committee thereof), or by the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, as specifically designated in each Schedule of Benefits.
An employee of the Company, who is determined to be entitled to benefits solely
under Schedule E, shall be deemed to have been designated an Eligible Employee
(under that Schedule) by the Board of Directors of the Company. A list of
Eligible Employees with respect to each Schedule of Benefits, other than
Schedule E, is correspondingly denominated and attached as an Exhibit to the
Plan and each such Exhibit shall be periodically updated.

ARTICLE 4. FUNDING

No fund shall be established to provide for the payment of benefits under the
Plan. No trust, other than one which will not cause the Plan to be "funded"
under current Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Department of Labor regulations
and rulings, shall be created. Any rights of an Eligible Employee or any other
person claiming by or through him or her shall be those of

                                       3
<PAGE>   7
a general creditor of the Company only. The Company may create book reserves or
take such other steps as it deems appropriate to provide for its expected
liabilities under the Plan.

ARTICLE 5. CATEGORIES OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS TO ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES

Benefits shall be payable by the Company in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Plan and as described in each Schedule of Benefits to the
Eligible Employees described in each such Schedule of Benefits and its
corresponding Exhibit.

ARTICLE 6. RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Except, as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in a Schedule of
Benefits, the Plan shall make monthly payments to an Eligible Employee at the
same time such Eligible Employee receives or would be deemed to receive under
any Schedule of Benefits his or her pension benefits under the Pension Plans
(herein, and in any Schedule of Benefits, referred to for the purposes of the
Plan as "the time of his or her retirement"), but in no event shall monthly
payments begin before such Eligible Employee has attained the age of 55 and has
actually left the employ of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Unless otherwise
expressly stated in a Schedule of Benefits, such monthly payments shall be equal
to the amount by which the sum of the monthly pension benefits payable to the
Eligible Employee from Pension Plans is less than the aggregate amount(s)
determined under the applicable Schedule(s) of Benefits. In making this
determination, the amount(s) from such Pension Plans shall be determined prior
to the election of any payment options (such as joint and survivor elections).
In addition, when an Eligible Employee is a participant in more than one Pension
Plan and benefits under any one of such Pension Plans are not available
immediately on account of early retirement eligibility provisions, then, for the
purposes of the Plan, such benefits shall be taken into account as though
payable immediately on an actuarially equivalent basis, as reasonably determined
by the Committee in its sole discretion. Similarly, for purposes of determining
monthly amounts payable from this Plan, if an Eligible Employee commenced or
received a distribution of benefits from one or more Pension Plans before
benefits are payable under this Plan, such distributed benefits shall be taken
into account for purposes of this paragraph as though they had not been
previously distributed, adjusted on an actuarially equivalent basis, using the
factors in effect under such Pension Plans for adjusting payment forms when the
benefits commenced or were paid.

ARTICLE 7.         FINAL AVERAGE EARNINGS

(a)       GENERAL RULES. Final Average Earnings means, except as further
          modified by subsection (b), the five-year average of the Eligible
          Employee's last 60 months of base salary, sales commissions and
          overtime plus fifty percent (50%) of the MIPs earned and paid during
          that period. If the Eligible Employee's period of employment is less
          than 60 months, the number of actual months of the Eligible Employee's
          period of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be
          used to

                                       4
<PAGE>   8
         determine Final Average Earnings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
         Eligible Employee received salary for less than 15 days in a calendar
         month, the salary and overtime for that month shall not count and that
         month shall not count among the months to be averaged in determining
         Final Average Earnings. For purposes of determining Final Average
         Earnings of a Disabled Participant (as defined in VCRIP), the Eligible
         Employee's base salary and overtime plus fifty percent (50%) of the
         MIPs paid during the 12-month period preceding the date that the
         individual became a Disabled Participant shall be deemed to continue
         during the period for which the Disabled Participant continues to be
         credited with Service under VCRIP. Final Average Earnings shall be
         determined under this Plan without regard to any limitations under
         Internal Revenue Code Section401(a)(17) on the amount of annual
         compensation that may be taken into account under qualified plans.

(b)      SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following
         additional rules shall apply in determining Final Average Earnings
         under the Schedules specified:

         (1)      For an Eligible Employee covered by Schedule B, B', C, D
                  and/or E (but not F), Final Average Earnings shall include
                  MIPs that would otherwise be included but for the fact the
                  bonus was deferred.

         (2)      For an Eligible Employee covered by Schedule B or C, but not
                  Schedule D, fifty percent (50%) of the MIPs awarded (whether
                  paid or deferred) for the five (5) calendar years in which the
                  MIPs were the highest, rather than fifty percent (50%) of the
                  MIPs awarded for the last five (5) years or shorter period of
                  employment, shall be used in determining the Eligible
                  Employee's Final Average Earnings.

         (3)      For an Eligible Employee covered by both Schedule B and
                  Schedule D, one hundred percent (100%) of the MIPs awarded
                  (whether paid or deferred) for the five (5) calendar years in
                  which the MIPs were the highest, rather than fifty percent
                  (50%) of the MIPs awarded for the last five (5) years or
                  shorter period of employment, shall be used in determining the
                  Eligible Employee's Final Average Earnings.

         (4)      For an Eligible Employee covered by Schedule B', one hundred
                  percent (100%) of the MIPs awarded (whether paid or deferred)
                  for the five (5) calendar years in which the MIPs were the
                  highest, rather than fifty percent (50%) of the MIPs awarded
                  for the last five (5) years or shorter period of employment,
                  shall be used in determining the Eligible Employee's Final
                  Average Earnings.

         (5)      For an Eligible Employee covered by Schedule D, but not
                  Schedule B, one hundred percent (100%), rather than fifty
                  percent (50%), of the MIPs awarded (whether paid or deferred)
                  for the last five (5) calendar years or shorter period

                                       5
<PAGE>   9

         of employment shall be used in determining the Eligible Employee's
         Final Average Earnings.

         (6)      An Eligible Employee's Final Average Earnings at December 31,
                  1997, used to determine the Pre-1998 Benefit under Schedules
                  B, D and F and also used in place of Average Monthly
                  Compensation at December 31, 1997 under Schedule C, is the
                  five (5) year average of the Eligible Employee's base salary
                  and overtime from 1993 through 1997 and:

                  (A)      For Schedules B and C, one hundred percent (100%) of
                           the MIPs awarded (whether paid or deferred) in the
                           five calendar years through 1997 in which the MIPs
                           were the highest;

                  (B)      For Schedule D, one hundred percent (100%) of the MIP
                           bonuses awarded (whether paid or deferred) in the
                           five calendar year period from 1993 through 1997; and

                  (C)      For Schedule F, one hundred percent (100%) of the
                           MIPs earned and paid in the five calendar year period
                           from 1993 through 1997.

                 If the Eligible Employee's period of employment is less than 60
                 months as of December 31, 1997, the number of actual months of
                 the Eligible Employee's period of employment from 1993 through
                 1997 with the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be used to
                 determine Final Average Earnings.

         (7)      An Eligible Employee's Final Average Earnings at December 31,
                  1988 used to determine the Pre-1998 Benefit under Schedules D
                  and F shall be determined using only base salary, and no
                  overtime or MIPs, through 1988.

         (8)      For all Schedules, any deferrals included in Final Average
                  Earnings shall only be counted once in calculating such Final
                  Average Earnings.

ARTICLE 8. OPTIONAL FORMS

If any pension benefit is payable to an Eligible Employee from a Pension Plan,
and an optional form of payment is elected under that Pension Plan, then a
similar election will be deemed made under the Plan. If two or more such
pensions are payable from such other Pension Plans, then the option selected
from the Pension Plan generating the largest monthly pension payment (include
the beneficiary designation in connection with such option and benefits, if
applicable) shall prevail for the purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no lump sum distributions shall occur or be permitted hereunder
except as provided under Article 13 or, with respect to an Eligible Employee who
has only a Cash Accumulation Benefit (as defined in VCRIP) under VCRIP and has
elected to receive that benefit as a lump sum, as provided under Schedules C and
E. Except as otherwise provided in Schedule E, if the Eligible Employee has both
a Cash Accumulation Benefit and a

                                       6
<PAGE>   10
Grandfathered Benefit (as defined in VCRIP), the benefit under this Plan shall
be paid in the same payment form as the Grandfathered Benefit is paid.

ARTICLE 9. LISTING OF ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES

A listing of Eligible Employees shall be maintained in the form of the Exhibits
to the Plan. Exhibit A shall contain those covered under Schedule A, and so on
for B, B', C, D, and F. If an employee is incorrectly included or excluded from
an Exhibit, actual entitlement to participation and benefits under the Plan
shall be reasonably determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE 10. SURVIVOR'S BENEFIT

(a)      ELIGIBILITY. If while covered by this program, for purposes other than
         a terminated vested benefit, an Eligible Employee dies before benefits
         have commenced and if on the date of his or her death such Eligible
         Employee:

         (1)      Was covered by one or more Schedule of Benefits and has 5 or
                  more years of service; or

         (2)      Was 55 years of age or older;

         then his or her Eligible Spouse (if any), as defined in the VCRIP,
         shall be entitled to a survivor's benefit.

(b)      AMOUNT. This survivor's benefit shall be calculated by assuming that
         the Eligible Employee:

         (1)      Was 55 years of age (or his actual age if older) on the date
                  of death;

         (2)      Retired on the first day of the month following his or her
                  death; and

         (3)      Elected a Single Life Annuity.

         The Eligible Spouse will be entitled to receive 1/2 of this benefit
         which shall be further reduced by 1/6 of 1% for each month the Eligible
         Spouse is more than 60 months younger than the Eligible Employee.

         The survivor's benefit under this Article 10 shall be reduced by any
         spousal survivor's benefit payable from Pension Plans when such benefit
         becomes payable, as reasonably determined by the Committee in its sole
         discretion.

ARTICLE 11. VESTING

In addition to all the terms and conditions of the Plan, no Eligible Employee or
beneficiary shall be entitled to a benefit under the Plan unless such Eligible
Employee has actually

                                       7
<PAGE>   11
attained fully vested status in VCRIP, as reasonably determined by the Committee
in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Eligible
Employee hereunder who has accumulated five years of service with the Company
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, ignoring breaks in service, shall be
fully vested and entitled to benefits hereunder.

ARTICLE 12. NON-COMPETE AND FORFEITURE PROVISIONS

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, from and after
January 1, 2000, an Eligible Employee's right to receive a benefit or future
benefits under this Plan shall be governed by the following provisions:

(a)       The right shall be conditioned upon certification by the Eligible
          Employee prior to their receipt of any future benefits under this Plan
          that the Eligible Employee has read and understands the non-compete
          and forfeiture provisions set forth in this Article 12, and that the
          Eligible Employee has no intent to engage in any activity or provide
          any services which are contrary to the spirit and intent of these
          provisions. The Eligible Employee's failure to so certify shall not
          constitute a waiver on the part of the Company as to the
          enforceability of these provisions under Article 12.

(b)       In order to better protect the goodwill of the Company and its
          Subsidiaries and to prevent the disclosure of the Company's or its
          Subsidiaries' trade secrets and confidential information and thereby
          help insure the long-term success of the business, the Eligible
          Employee, without prior written consent of the Company, will not
          engage in any activity or provide any services, whether as a director,
          manager, supervisor, employee, adviser, agent, consultant, owner of
          more than five (5) percent of any enterprise or otherwise, for a
          period of two (2) years following the date of the Eligible Employee's
          termination of employment with the Company, or its Subsidiaries, in
          connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion,
          design, or sale or any other activity in furtherance of any business
          enterprise, service or product which is the same as or similar to or
          competitive with or in any way adverse to any services or products or
          other activities of the Company or its Subsidiaries (including both
          existing services or products as well as services or products known to
          the Eligible Employee, as a consequence of the Eligible Employee's
          employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, to be in
          development):

         (1)      With respect to which the Eligible Employee's work has been
                  directly concerned at any time preceding termination of
                  employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or

         (2)      With respect to which during that period of time the Eligible
                  Employee, as a consequence of the Eligible Employee's job
                  performance and duties, acquired knowledge of the trade
                  secrets or other confidential information of the Company or
                  its Subsidiaries.



                                       8
<PAGE>   12

          For purposes of this Article 12, it shall be conclusively presumed
          that the Eligible Employee has knowledge of information he or she was
          directly exposed to through actual receipt or review of memoranda or
          documents containing such information, or through actual attendance at
          meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed.

(c)       If, at any time during the two (2) year period after the Eligible
          Employee's termination of employment from the Company or any of its
          Subsidiaries, the Eligible Employee engages in any conduct described
          in subsection (b) above, then the amount of any payments made to the
          Eligible Employee from the Plan during that period (without regard to
          tax effects) shall be paid by the Eligible Employee to the Company.
          The Eligible Employee consents to the deduction from any amounts the
          Company or any of its Subsidiaries owes the Eligible Employee from
          time to time to the extent of the amount the Eligible Employee owes
          the Company hereunder.

ARTICLE 13. CHANGE OF CONTROL

Upon a Change of Control, the provisions of this paragraph shall apply and
override any contrary provisions of this Plan or any Schedule. For purposes of
this Article 13, "Change of Control" shall have the meaning specified in Section
3(a) of the Trust Agreement for the Viad Corp Executives' Deferred Compensation
and Benefit Security Trust.

Upon a Change of Control, all Plan benefits of each Eligible Employee who is an
active Employee of the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) and who is covered
by Schedule B or Schedule B' as of the date of the Change of Control shall be
immediately determined, based on the facts in existence as of the date of the
Change of Control and without regard to Article 12. The Plan benefits so
determined shall be fully vested and paid to each such Eligible Employee in an
actuarially equivalent single sum as soon as practicable following the Change of
Control; provided, however, that such immediate vesting and payment shall not be
made if an acquiring entity has a credit rating from Standard & Poors
Corporation on its longer term unsecured debt obligations of single "A" or
better. The determination of "actuarially equivalent" shall be made in
accordance with generally accepted actuarial methods using:

(a)      For the interest rate, the annual rate of interest on 30-year Treasury
         securities for the month of November preceding the calendar year in
         which the benefit is distributed, and

(b)      For the mortality basis, the rates prescribed by the 1983 Group Annuity
         Mortality Table with a fixed blend of 50 percent male mortality rates
         and 50 percent female mortality rates (commonly referred to as the '83
         GATT Table).

                                       9
<PAGE>   13

ARTICLE 14. ADMINISTRATION, MODIFICATION, AND
TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

The Board of Directors of the Company may terminate the Plan or any Schedule of
Benefits at any time. Any amounts vested under the Plan prior to any such
termination shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions in effect
under the Plan when the Plan is terminated. The Plan may be amended at any time
or from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided,
however, that no amendment shall have the effect of retroactively reducing
benefits earned up to the date that the amendment is adopted. The Company shall
have full power and authority to interpret and administer the Plan, to
promulgate rules of Plan administration, to adopt a claims procedure, to
conclusively settle any disputes as to rights or benefits arising from the Plan,
and to make such decisions or take such actions as the Company, in its sole
discretion, reasonably deems necessary or advisable to aid in the proper
administration and maintenance of the Plan.

ARTICLE 15. TAX WITHHOLDING

Any federal, state or local taxes, including FICA tax amounts, required by law
to be withheld with respect to benefits earned and vested under this Plan or any
other compensation arrangement may be withheld from the Eligible Employee's
benefit, salary, wages or other amounts paid by the Company and reasonably
available for withholding. Prior to making or authorizing any benefit payment
under this Plan, the Company may require such documents from any taxing
authority, or may require such indemnities or a surety bond from any Eligible
Employee or beneficiary, as the Company shall reasonably consider necessary for
its protection.

ARTICLE 16. MISCELLANEOUS

The Plan, and any determination made by the Committee or the Company in
connection therewith, shall be binding upon each Eligible Employee, his or her
beneficiary or beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, no benefit under the Plan may
be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed, hypothecated, encumbered, anticipated
or otherwise disposed of, and any attempt to do so shall be void. No such
benefit payment shall be, prior to actual receipt thereof by the Eligible
Employee, or his or her beneficiary or beneficiaries, as the case may be, in any
manner subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or engagements of such
Eligible Employee or beneficiary(ies). The Plan shall not constitute, nor be
deemed to constitute, a contract of employment between the Company, or any of
its Subsidiaries, and any Eligible Employee, nor shall any provision hereof
restrict the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to discharge any
Eligible Employee from his or her employment, with or without cause. If any
particular provision of this Plan shall be found to be illegal or unenforceable,
such provision

                                       10
<PAGE>   14
shall not affect any other provision, but this Plan shall be construed in all
respects as if such invalid provision were omitted.

ARTICLE 17. APPLICABLE LAW

This Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of Arizona to the extent not superseded by the laws of the United States
of America.

SCHEDULE A.

1.        GENERAL RULES
Benefits payable under this Schedule of Benefits are in lieu of, not in addition
to, any other benefit provided for in this Plan. It is the intent of the Company
that:

(a)      Benefits shall be payable under this Schedule of Benefits only if it
         generates the largest monthly benefits when compared to other benefits
         to which the Eligible Employee is otherwise entitled under the Plan,
         and

(b)      Benefits payable under this Schedule of Benefits shall be the only
         benefits payable to an Eligible Employee under the Plan.

The provisions of this Schedule A shall not be construed to modify or limit the
provisions of any other Schedule of Benefits to the extent such other Schedule
of Benefits deems certain facts to be true for the purposes of the Plan.

Benefits may be payable under this Schedule of Benefits in respect of persons
employed by the Company who are selected by the Board of Directors for inclusion
under this Schedule of Benefits. The amount used under this Schedule of Benefits
to determine the monthly benefit payable to any Eligible Employee under Article

Benefits used to determine the monthly benefit (one-twelfth of the annual
amount) payable to an Eligible Employee under Article 6 is the sum of the
Eligible Employee's Post-1997 Benefit and the Eligible Employee's Pre-1998
Benefit. In determining an Eligible Employee's Post-1997 Benefit and Pre-1998
Benefit under this Schedule B, Credited Service shall include, in addition to
employment counted under Article 2(c), the Eligible Employee's period of
employment, determined on an elapsed time basis, with the Armour & Company
controlled group before it merged with the Company.

2. POST-1997 BENEFIT
For purposes of this Schedule B, the Post-1997 Benefit is the sum of (a) and

1997, where:

(a)      Is 1.15 percent of the Eligible Employee's Final Average Earnings up to
         Covered Compensation.

(b)      Is 1.70 percent of the excess, if any, of the Eligible Employee's Final
         Average Earnings over Covered Compensation.

30 years minus any Credited Service taken into account for purposes of any
calculation under section 3.

3. PRE-1998 BENEFIT

(a), with the resulting difference multiplied by (c), where:



(a)      Is 1.834 percent of the Eligible Employee's Final Average Earnings at
         December 31, 1997, multiplied by the Eligible Employee's Credited
         Service through December 31, 1997.

(b)      Is 1.667 percent of the Primary Social Security Benefit, multiplied by
         the Eligible Employee's Credited Service through December 31, 1997.

(c)      Is a fraction (not less than one) whose numerator is the Eligible
         Employee's Final Average Earnings at termination of employment and
         whose denominator is the Eligible Employee's Final Average Earnings at
         December 31, 1997.

4. REDUCTION IN MONTHLY AMOUNT FOR COMMENCEMENT BEFORE AGE 60
The monthly amount determined under this Schedule of Benefits shall be subject
to no reduction if the Eligible Employee commences benefits on or following his
or her 60th birthday; and a reduction of one-quarter (1/4) of one percent for
each month benefit commencement precedes his or her 60th birthday. In no event,
however, may an Eligible Employee commence benefits prior to his or her 55th
birthday.

5. UNREDUCED PAYMENT FORM
If the Eligible Employee is married on the date of his or her retirement, the
benefit shall be paid in the form of a joint and 50% survivor annuity and shall
not be reduced to reflect such form of payment.

If the Eligible Employee elects any other optional form of payment under the
VCRIP, the reduction in such optional form of benefits as applied under this
Schedule of Benefits shall be based on an unreduced joint and 50% survivor
annuity benefit.

Eligible Employees under this Schedule B are listed on Exhibit B to the Plan.

SCHEDULE C.

1. GENERAL RULES
Benefits may be payable under this Schedule of Benefits in respect of persons
employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, who are selected by the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The annual amount under this Schedule of
Benefit used to determine the monthly benefit (one-twelfth of the annual amount)
payable to an Eligible Employee under Article 6 shall be the Transferred
Employee Benefit.

2. TRANSFERRED EMPLOYEE BENEFIT
For purposes of this Schedule C, the Transferred Employee Benefit is a monthly
pension based on the rules of VCRIP for the Eligible Employee applicable at the
time of his or her retirement, including any reductions for early retirement.
For purposes of determining the monthly pension attributable to service prior to
January 1, 2001, the benefit shall be deemed to have accrued under the Amended
and Restated Appendix Prior Plan: Greyhound Employees' Retirement Income Plan of
the Predecessor Plan Document using one-twelfth of Final Average Earnings, as
defined in Article 7, in place of Average Monthly Compensation.

For purposes of determining an Eligible Employee's monthly pension under this
Schedule C based on the Cash Accumulation Formula of VCRIP, Compensation shall
be as defined under VCRIP with the following modifications:


(a)      Compensation under this Schedule of Benefits shall be determined
         without regard to the annual limit on compensation that may be taken
         into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Internal Revenue
         Code Section 401(a)(17).

(b)      Compensation under this Schedule of Benefits shall include MIPs that
         would otherwise be included but for the fact the bonus was deferred.
         Such MIPs shall be counted as Compensation in the year awarded and
         deferred and shall not be counted again in the year paid.

3. UNREDUCED PAYMENT FORM

Schedule of Benefits shall be based on an unreduced joint and 50% survivor
annuity benefit.

Eligible Employees under this Schedule C are listed on Exhibit C to the Plan.

SCHEDULE D.

1. GENERAL RULES

Benefits may be payable under this Schedule of Benefits in respect of persons
employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, who are selected by the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The following rules shall be used to
determine the annual amount used to compute the monthly benefit (one-twelfth of
the annual amount) payable to an Eligible Employee under Article 6:

(a)      If the Eligible Employee is covered only under this Schedule D, the
         monthly amount determined under section 3 of this Schedule.

(b)      If the Eligible Employee is covered under Schedule B as well as this
         Schedule D, then the monthly amount shall be determined under Schedule
         B; provided, however, that in determining the Eligible Employee's Final
         Average Earnings, the special adjustments applicable to Eligible
         Employees covered by this Schedule D, as further specified in Article
         7(b), shall be made.

2. EMPLOYEES ELIGIBLE FOR COVERAGE UNDER SCHEDULE D
For purposes of this Schedule D, Eligible Employees shall be defined to mean
only those employees selected by the Chief Executive Office of the Company:

(a)      Who are eligible to receive awards under the Management Incentive Plan,
         or its predecessor or successor plan, and

(b)      Who either:

         (1)      Were age 55 or older on or before December 31, 1997, or

         (2)      Received letters dated October 4, 2000 from the Company's Vice
                  President - Human Resources indicating that 100% of their MIPs
                  would be used in determining Final Average Earnings.

Coverage of an Eligible Employee under this Schedule D neither requires nor
precludes the Eligible Employee's coverage under another Schedule of Benefits.
However, coverage under this Schedule D also does not provide duplication of
benefits for an Eligible Employee who, in addition to being covered under this
Schedule D is covered under another Schedule of Benefits.

3. ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES COVERED ONLY BY SCHEDULE D
The annual amount computed under this Schedule of Benefits for use in
determining the monthly benefit (one-twelfth of the annual amount) payable to an
Eligible Employee under Article 6 is the sum of the Eligible Employee's
Post-1997 Benefit and the Eligible Employee's Pre-1998 Benefit.

                                       19

                  Earnings up to Covered Compensation.

         (2)      Is 1.70 percent of the excess, if any, of the Eligible
                  Employee's Final Average Earnings over Covered Compensation.

         An Eligible Employee's Credited Service under this subsection (a) shall
         be limited to 30 years minus any Credited Service taken into account
         for purposes of any calculation under subsection (b).

(b)      For purposes of this Schedule D, the Pre-1998 Benefit is the sum of
         (1), (2), and (3), together multiplied by (4), where:

         (1)      Is 1.25 percent of Eligible Employee's Final Average Earnings
                  at December 31, 1997 up to Covered Compensation at December
                  31, 1997, multiplied by the Eligible Employee's Credited
                  Service for the period from January 1, 1989 through December
                  31, 1997.

         (2)      Is 1.75 percent of the excess, if any, of the Eligible
                  Employee's Final Average Earnings at December 31, 1997 over
                  Covered Compensation at December 31, 1997, multiplied by the
                  Eligible Employee's Credited Service for the period from
                  January 1, 1989 through December 31, 1997.

         (3)      Is the Eligible Employee's accrued benefit as of December 31,
                  1988, if any, determined in accordance with the terms of VCRIP
                  as in effect immediately prior to January 1, 1989, multiplied
                  by a fraction (not less than one), the numerator of which is
                  the Eligible Employee's Final Average Earnings at December 31,
                  1997, and the denominator of which is the Eligible Employee's
                  Final Average Earnings at December 31, 1988.

         (4)      Is a fraction (not less than one) whose numerator is the
                  Eligible Employee's Final Average Earnings at termination of
                  employment and whose denominator is the Eligible Employee's
                  Final Average Earnings at December 31, 1997.

4. REDUCTION IN MONTHLY AMOUNT FOR COMMENCEMENT BEFORE AGE 65
The monthly amount determined under this Schedule of Benefits shall be subject
to a reduction of one-third (1/3) of one percent for each of the first
thirty-six (36) months that benefit commencement precedes his or her 65th
birthday and of five-twelfths (5/12) of one percent for each additional month
(over 36) that benefit commencement precedes his or her 65th birthday. In no
event, however, may an Eligible Employee commence benefits prior to his or her
55th birthday.

SCHEDULE E.

1. GENERAL RULES
Employees of the Company who participate in the VCRIP automatically become
Eligible Employees under this Schedule E if their benefits under the VCRIP are
limited by Internal Revenue Code Section401(a)(17) or Section415. The Company
shall administratively identify the Eligible Employees under this Schedule E,
based on the effect of such Internal Revenue Code provisions on their VCRIP
benefits. Designation as an Eligible Employee under this Schedule E shall not
require separate approval of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company.

Coverage of an Eligible Employee under this Schedule E neither requires nor
precludes the Eligible Employee's coverage under another Schedule of Benefits.
However, coverage under this Schedule E also does not provide duplication of
benefits for an Eligible Employee who, in addition to being covered under this
Schedule E, is covered under another Schedule of Benefits. The Company may
determine and communicate an Eligible Employee's aggregate benefit under this
Plan by considering this Schedule E together with any other Schedule of Benefits
that happens to cover the Eligible Employee. Subject to the foregoing, the
amount of benefit attributable to this Schedule E and payable to an Eligible
Employee pursuant to Article 6 shall be the Restoration Benefit.

2. RESTORATION BENEFIT
For purposes of this Schedule E, the Restoration Benefit is a monthly pension
based on the rules of VCRIP applicable to the Eligible Employee at the time of
his or her retirement, including any reductions for early retirement, but using
one-twelfth of Final Average Earnings, as defined in Article 7, in place of
Average Monthly Compensation and using one-twelfth of Final Average Earnings
determined as of December 31, 2000, for purposes of calculating the
Grandfathered Benefit. For purposes of this Schedule of Benefits, Compensation
shall be determined without regard to the annual limit on compensation that may
be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Internal Revenue Code
Section401(a)(17) and shall include MIPs that would otherwise have been included
but for the fact that the bonus was deferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
MIPs included in Compensation shall only be counted once. In addition, the
monthly pension shall be determined under this section without regard to the
limitations set forth in Internal Revenue Code Section415 and applicable to
qualified plans.

Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the contrary, if the Eligible Employee's
Restoration Benefit is solely attributable to Service (as defined in VCRIP)
after December 31, 2000, then the Eligible Employee's benefit under this
Schedule shall be paid in the same payment form as the Eligible Employee elected
to receive his or her Cash Accumulation Benefit under VCRIP.

         December 31, 1997 up to Covered Compensation at December 31, 1997,
         multiplied by the Eligible Employee's Credited Service for the period
         from January 1, 1989 through December 31, 1997.

         less than one), the numerator of which is the Eligible Employee's Final
         Average Earnings at December 31, 1997, and the denominator of which is
         the Eligible Employee's Final Average Earnings at December 31, 1988.
