                             FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
                    INTERFACE, INC. NONQUALIFIED SAVINGS PLAN

      THIS FIRST AMENDMENT to the Interface, Inc. Nonqualified Savings Plan (the
"Plan") is made on this 20th day of December, 2002, by the Administrative
Committee.

                                   WITNESSETH:

      WHEREAS, Interface, Inc. maintains the Plan for the benefit of certain of
its key management and highly compensated employees; and

      WHEREAS, Section 8.1 of the Plan provides that the Administrative
Committee has the right to amend the Plan at any time; and

      WHEREAS, the Administrative Committee desires to amend the Plan to provide
different deferral limits for base pay (including commissions) and bonuses;

      NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended, as follows:

      1. Effective January 1, 2003, a new Section 1.2A is added to the Plan to
read as follows:

            1.2A BASE PAY shall mean Compensation minus Bonuses and Commissions.

      2. Effective January 1, 2003, a new Section 1.4A is added to the Plan to
read as follows:

            1.4A BONUSES shall mean such portion of a Participant's Compensation
      designated as Bonuses by the Administrative Committee.

      3. Effective January 1, 2003, a new Section 1.7A is added to the Plan to
read as follows:

            1.7 A COMMISSIONS shall mean such portion of a Participant's

in its entirety and a new Section 1.12 is added to read as follows:

            1.12 DEFERRAL ELECTION shall mean a written election form (or
      election in any other format permitted by the Administrative Committee) on

      Base Pay and Commissions and/or Bonuses.
<PAGE>
      5. Effective January 1, 2003, Section 3.2 of the Plan is deleted in its
entirety and a new Section 3.2 is added to read as follows:

            3.2 DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS.

                  Each Eligible Employee who is or becomes eligible to
      participate in the Plan for all or any portion of a Plan Year may elect to
      have Deferral Contributions made on his behalf for such Plan Year by
      completing and delivering to the Administrative Committee (or its
      designee) Deferral Elections setting forth the terms of his election.
      Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Deferral Elections
      may provide for the reduction of an Eligible Employee's (i) Base Pay and
      Commissions payable each payroll period and/or (ii) Bonuses payable during
      the Plan Year for which the Deferral Elections are in effect. Subject to
      any modifications, additions or exceptions that the Administrative
      Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary, appropriate or
      helpful, the following terms shall apply to such elections:

                  (a)   EFFECTIVE DATE.

                        (i) INITIAL DEFERRAL ELECTIONS. A Participant's initial
            Deferral Elections with respect to his Base Pay and Commissions
            and/or Bonuses for any Plan Year shall be effective for the first
            payroll period beginning on or after the date the Deferral Elections
            become effective. To be effective, a Participant's initial Deferral
            Elections must be made within the time period prescribed by the
            Administrative Committee (generally, before the first day of the
            Plan Year for which Deferral Contributions will be made, or, if
            later, before the date on which his participation becomes effective
            pursuant to Plan Section 2.1(b)). If an Eligible Employee fails to
            submit Deferral Elections in a timely manner, he shall be deemed to
            have elected not to participate in the Plan for that Plan Year.

                        (ii) SUBSEQUENT DEFERRAL ELECTIONS. A Participant's
            subsequent Deferral Elections with respect to his Base Pay and
            Commissions and/or Bonuses for any Plan Year must be made on or
            before the last day of the Plan Year immediately preceding the Plan
            Year for which he desires to participate and in which the Base Pay
            and Commissions and/or Bonuses to be deferred are paid.

                  (b) TERM. Each Participant's Deferral Elections shall remain
      in effect for all such Base Pay and Commissions and/or Bonuses payable
      during a Plan Year and subsequent Plan Years until the earliest of (i) the
      date the Participant ceases to be an active Participant for such Plan
      Year, (ii) the date the Participant makes subsequent Deferral Elections
      applicable for a subsequent Plan Year, or (iii) the date the Participant
      revokes such Deferral Elections. If a Participant does not make Subsequent
      Deferral Elections for the 2003 Plan Year, his Deferral Elections with
      respect to his Compensation for the 2002 Plan Year
<PAGE>
      will apply to his Deferral Elections for the 2003 Plan Year with respect
      to his Base Pay, Commissions and Bonuses. If a Participant is transferred
      from the employment of one Participating Company to the employment of
      another Participating Company, his Deferral Elections with the first
      Participating Company will remain in effect and will apply to his Base Pay
      and Commissions and/or Bonuses from the second Participating Company until
      the earliest of those events set forth in the preceding sentence.

                  (c) AMOUNT. A Participant may elect to defer (1) his Base Pay
      and Commissions payable each payroll period in 1 percent increments, up to
      a maximum of 20%, and (2) his Bonuses payable in 1 percent increments, up
      to a maximum of 40%. The deferral percentage(s) elected by the Participant
      will be applied after subtracting the maximum percentage of before-tax
      contributions permitted under the Savings and Investment Plan (or such
      other maximum percentage and/or amount, if any, established by the
      Administrative Committee from time-to-time). Because Code Section
      401(a)(17) limits the amount of compensation that may be taken into
      account in determining the amount of a participant's before-tax
      contributions to the Savings and Investment Plan, the percentage of Base
      Pay and Commissions and/or Bonuses that a Participant elects to defer
      under the Plan for a Plan Year will not be reduced by the maximum
      percentage of before-tax contributions permitted under those plans once
      the Participant's compensation exceeds the Code Section 401(a)(17) limit
      for the Plan Year.

                  (d) REVOCATION. A Participant may revoke his Deferral
      Elections by delivering a written notice of revocation to the
      Administrative Committee, and such revocation shall be effective as soon
      as practicable after the date on which it is received by the
      Administrative Committee. (See also Section 2.3(a)). A Participant who
      revokes his Deferral Elections may enter into new Deferral Elections with
      respect to his Base Pay and Commissions and/or Bonuses for any subsequent
      Plan Year by making such Deferral Elections on or before the last day of
      the Plan Year immediately preceding the Plan Year for which he desires to
      participate and in which the Base Pay and Commissions and/or Bonuses to be
      deferred are paid.

                  (e) CREDITING OF DEFERRED BASE PAY AND COMMISSIONS AND/OR
      BONUSES. For each Plan Year that a Participant has Deferral Elections in
      effect, the Administrative Committee shall credit the amount of such
      Participant's Deferral Contributions to his Account on, or as soon as
      practicable after, the Valuation Date on which such amount would have been
      paid to him but for his Deferral Elections.

      6. Except as specified herein, the Plan shall remain in full force and
effect.
