     SECTION 3.  Participation. Beginning March 9, 1993, no new deferrals of
compensation may be made under this Plan. All amounts deferred and accrued under

not be funded with any specific assets of the Company or any Subsidiary.

     SECTION 4.  Accounts.

          (a)  Prime rate account. Interest equivalents will be credited on the
     balance in a Director's prime rate account at the end of each calendar
     quarter that ends before the commencement of distribution of the Director's
     prime rate account pursuant to Section 5(b), Section 5(c), Section 5(d) or
     Section 5(f), whichever occurs first, and (1) at the end of the month in
     which the Director's termination of service as a Director ("Termination")
     occurs if such month is not the last month in a quarter and if distribution
     is made following such Termination pursuant to Section 5(c), or (2) as of
     the Common Distribution Date (as defined in Section 5(b)) if distribution
     does not commence until after the Common Distribution Date. For the purpose
     of crediting interest, (1) interest will be computed at the prime rate of
     interest in effect at Citicorp, N.A., New York, New York during such
     period, and (2) the balance accrued in a Director's prime rate account
     during any period will be the average of the balances
<PAGE>

                                       5

     in the Director's account at the beginning of each month during the period.

          (b)  FON Tracking Stock account. FON Units were credited to each
     Director's FON Tracking Stock account at the rate of one FON Unit for each
     Unit credited to such Director's Common Stock account at the close of
     business on November 23, 1998, to reflect the reclassification of the
     Sprint Common Stock. FON Units were credited to each Director's FON
     Tracking Stock account as of November 30, 1998, in an amount representing
     90.17144% of the balance in such Director's 360 Common Stock account as of
     that date. The FON Units credited to each Director's FON Tracking Stock
     Account were doubled to reflect the two-for-one stock split of the FON
     Common Stock in the 1999 second quarter. On each record date for
     determination of shareowners entitled to receive a dividend on the
     outstanding shares of FON Common Stock, there will be credited to each FON
     Tracking Stock account that number of additional FON Units equal to the
     number of shares (and fraction of a share to the nearest one-hundredth) of
     FON Common Stock which could have been purchased at the Market Value of FON
     Common Stock on that date with the amount, if paid in cash, or the value,
     if paid in property (other than shares of FON Common Stock), of the
     dividend to be paid on a number (to the nearest one-hundredth) of shares of
     FON Common Stock equal to
<PAGE>

                                       6

     the number of FON Units (to the nearest one-hundredth) in that account on
     such record date. Upon Termination, the Director's FON Tracking Stock
     account will be transferred into the Director's prime rate account as
     follows: (1) the FON Tracking Stock account will be valued (the "FON
     Account Value") at the Market Value of the FON Common Stock on the last day
     of business in the month that the Termination occurs; (2) an amount equal
     to the FON Account Value will be credited to the prime rate account; and
     (3) interest equivalents will be credited on the balance in the prime rate
     account pursuant to the terms specified in Section 4(a).

          (c)  PCS Tracking Stock account. PCS Units were credited to each
     Director's PCS Tracking Stock account at the rate of one-half of a PCS Unit
     for each Unit credited to such Director's Common Stock account at the close
     of business on November 23, 1998, to reflect the reclassification of Sprint
     Common Stock. PCS Units were credited to each Director's PCS Tracking Stock
     account as of November 30, 1998, in an amount representing 9.82856% of the
     balance in such Director's 360 Common Stock account as of that date. The
     PCS Units credited to each Director's PCS Tracking Stock account were
     doubled to reflect the two-for-one stock split of the PCS Common Stock in
     the 2000 first quarter. On each record date for determination of
     shareowners entitled to receive a dividend on the
<PAGE>

                                       7

     outstanding shares of PCS Common Stock, there will be credited to each PCS
     Tracking Stock account that number of additional PCS Units equal to the
     number of shares (and fraction of a share to the nearest one-hundredth) of
     PCS Common Stock which could have been purchased at the Market Value of PCS
     Common Stock on that date with the amount, if paid in cash, or the value,
     if paid in property (other than shares of PCS Common Stock), of the
     dividend to be paid on a number (to the nearest one-hundredth) of shares of
     PCS Common Stock equal to the number of PCS Units (to the nearest one-
     hundredth) in that account on such record date. Upon Termination, the
     Director's PCS Tracking Stock account will be transferred into the
     Director's prime rate account as follows: (1) the PCS Tracking Stock
     account will be valued (the "PCS Account Value") at the Market Value of PCS
     Common Stock on the last day of business in the month that the Termination
     occurs; (2) an amount equal to the PCS Account Value will be credited to
     the prime rate account; and (3) interest equivalents will be credited on
     the balance in the prime rate account pursuant to the terms specified in
     Section 4(a).

          (d)  Transfers between Accounts. Within the limitations of this
     Section 4(d), a Director may elect, by executing and filing with the
     Company an Account Transfer Request, to (1) transfer all or any portion of
     his or her PCS Tracking Stock account to his or her
<PAGE>

                                       8

     prime rate account or to his or her FON Tracking Stock account, (2)
     transfer all or any portion of his or her FON Tracking Stock account to his
     or her prime rate account or to his or her PCS Tracking Stock account, or
     (3) transfer all or any portion of his or her prime rate account to his or
     her FON Tracking Stock account or to his or her PCS Tracking Stock account.
     Such election shall be effective on the last day of the calendar month in
     which the Company receives the executed Account Transfer Request. The value
     of FON Units or PCS Units being transferred shall be determined by
     multiplying the number of FON Units or PCS Units being transferred (to the
     nearest one-hundredth) by the Market Value of one share of FON Common Stock
     or PCS Tracking Stock, as the case may be, on the effective date of the
     transfer. If the transfer is being made from the FON Tracking Stock account
     or the prime rate account to the PCS Tracking Stock account, the value of
     the FON Units being transferred as above determined or the amount being
     transferred from the prime rate account will be divided by the Market Value
     of one share of the PCS Common Stock on the effective date of transfer to
     determine the number of PCS Units (to the nearest one-hundredth) to be
     credited to the PCS Tracking Stock account. If the transfer is being made
     from the PCS Tracking Stock account or the prime rate account to the FON
     Tracking
<PAGE>

                                       9

     Stock account, the value of the PCS Units being transferred as above
     determined or the amount being transferred from the prime rate account will
     be divided by the Market Value of one share of the FON Common Stock on the
     effective date of transfer to determine the number of FON Units (to the
     nearest one-hundredth) to be credited to the FON Tracking Stock account.

     SECTION 5.  Distributions.

          (a)  Except as provided in Section 5(b), the timing and manner of each
     distribution to a Director under the Plan shall be made pursuant to such
     Director's Valid Election, as defined in the following sentence. A "Valid
     Election" means an election by the Director which (i) is irrevocable except
     as provided in Section 5(g), (ii) is made in writing pursuant to such rules
     as the Committee may determine, and (iii) provides for a distribution
     pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (d).

          (b)  If a Director does not submit a Valid Election, upon the
     Director's Termination, the amount accrued in the Director's prime rate
     account will be distributed to the Director in a lump sum as soon as
     practicable after January 31 of the calendar year following the calendar
     year in which the Director's
<PAGE>

                                      10

     Termination occurs (such January 31 is referred to herein as the "Common
     Distribution Date").

          (c)  If the Director submits a Valid Election prior to the first day
     of the calendar year in which such Director's Termination occurs,
     distributions shall be paid under the Plan commencing after the date of the
     Director's Termination as follows:

          (i)  in a lump sum either as soon as practicable after the Director's
               Termination or as soon as practicable after the Common
               Distribution Date, as specified in the Valid Election; or

          (ii) in equal annual installment payments over a period from two (2)
               to twenty (20) years commencing as soon as practicable after the
               Director's Termination or as soon as practicable after the Common
               Distribution Date, as specified in the Valid Election. For
               purposes of determining the amount of each equal annual
               installment, the assumed rate of interest shall be the average of
               the rates calculated in accordance with Section 4(a) for the 20
               quarters preceding the date on which the distribution commences.
<PAGE>

                                      11

          (d)  If the Director submits a Valid Election on or after the first
     day of the calendar year in which such Director's Termination occurs but
     prior to December 31 of the calendar year in which such Director's
     Termination occurs, pursuant to the terms of such Valid Election
     distributions shall be paid under the Plan commencing no earlier than the
     Common Distribution Date using one of the following methods:

          (i)  in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the Common
               Distribution Date; or

          (ii) in equal annual installment payments over a period specified in
               the Valid Election from two (2) to twenty (20) years commencing
               as soon as practicable after the Common Distribution Date. For
               purposes of determining the amount of each equal annual
               installment, the assumed rate of interest shall be the average of
               the rates calculated in accordance with Section 4(a) for the 20
               quarters preceding the Common Distribution Date.

        (e)    All distributions of amounts accrued in a Director's deferred
     compensation account will be paid exclusively in cash.
<PAGE>

                                      12

         (f)  In the event of a Director's death, any amounts to which the
     Director is entitled hereunder will be distributed to the Beneficiary(ies)
     entitled thereto:

           (i)   if installment payments have commenced pursuant to Section
                 5(c)(ii) or Section 5(d)(ii), either (1) as a continuation of
                 the installment payments, or (2) in a lump sum equal to the
                 present value of the remaining installments determined using
                 the same interest rate assumption used in calculating the
                 amount of the installments, as provided in a Valid Election;

           (ii)  if no distribution has taken place pursuant to Section 5(c) or
                 Section 5(d), either (1) in equal annual installments over a
                 period from two (2) to twenty (20) years, using the same
                 interest rate assumption set forth in Section 5(c)(ii) to
                 calculate the amount of each installment, or (2) in a lump sum,
                 as provided in a Valid Election; or

           (iii) if no provision is made in a Valid Election filed with the
                 Company or if all
<PAGE>

                                      13

                 of the Beneficiaries designated by a Director predecease the
                 Director, in a lump sum payment to the estate of the deceased
                 Director as soon as practicable following the death of the
                 Director.

          (g)  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary hereunder, at any
     time, the Director may change a Valid Election by electing to accelerate
     the date(s) of payment specified in such prior election, subject to the
     following circumstances:

             (i) the Committee in its sole discretion consents to the change in
                 Valid Election, and

            (ii) the amounts that are subject to such accelerated payment
                 date(s) shall be reduced by 6%. Subject to the preceding
                 sentence, the calculation of the amount of the accelerated
                 payment(s) and the calculation of such reduction shall be made
                 in the sole discretion of the Committee.

     SECTION 6.  Anti-Dilution. In the event of any change in capitalization
which affects the FON Common Stock or the PCS Common Stock, such as a stock
dividend, a stock
<PAGE>

                                      14

distribution, a stock split-up or a subdivision or combination of shares, such
adjustments, if any, as the Board in its discretion deems appropriate to reflect
such change shall be made with respect to the number of FON Units in each FON
Tracking Stock account or the number of PCS Units in each PCS Tracking Stock
account, as the case may be.

     SECTION 7.  Beneficiaries.

          (a)  A Director may, by filing a Beneficiary Designation with the
     Company during the Director's lifetime, designate (1) a Beneficiary or
     Beneficiaries to whom distribution of the Director's deferred compensation
     accounts will be made in the event of the Director's death prior to the
     full receipt of the Director's interests under this Plan, and (2) the
     proportions to be distributed to each such designated Beneficiary if there
     be more than one. Any such designation may be revoked or changed by the
     Director at any time and from time to time by filing a new Beneficiary
     Designation with the Company. If a designated Beneficiary dies after the
     Director but prior to distribution of all that designated Beneficiary's
     proportionate share of the Director's interest under this Plan, the then
     remaining balance of such share will be distributed in a lump sum payment
     to the estate of the designated Beneficiary.
<PAGE>

                                      15

          (b)  If the Company, after reasonable inquiry, is unable within one
     year to determine whether any designated Beneficiary did in fact survive
     the event that entitled such Beneficiary to receive distribution under this
     Plan, it will be conclusively presumed that such Beneficiary did in fact
     die prior to such event.

     SECTION 8.  Committee. This Plan will be administered by a Committee
consisting of at least three (3) members appointed by the Board of the Company,
who are employees of Sprint or a subsidiary of Sprint and who do not participate
in this Plan.

     Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, the Committee shall
have full power and authority, within the limits provided by this Plan:

          (a)  to construe this Plan and make equitable adjustments for any
     mistakes or errors made in the administration of this Plan;

          (b)  to determine all questions arising in the administration of this
     Plan, including the power to determine the rights of Directors
     participating in this Plan and their Beneficiaries and the amount of their
     respective interests;

          (c)  to adopt such rules and regulations as it may deem reasonably
     necessary for the proper and efficient administration of this Plan
     consistent with its purposes;
<PAGE>

                                      16

          (d)  to enforce this Plan in accordance with its terms and with the
     rules and regulations adopted by the Committee; and

          (e)  to do all other acts which in its judgment are necessary or
     desirable for the proper and advantageous administration of this Plan.

The Committee shall act by the vote or concurrence of a majority of its members
and shall maintain a written record of its decisions and actions. All decisions
and actions of the Committee pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall be
final and binding upon all persons affected thereby. No member of the Committee
shall have any personal liability to anyone, either as such member or as an
individual, for anything done or omitted to be done in good faith in carrying
out the provisions of this Plan.

     SECTION 9.  Non-Alienation. No right or benefit under this Plan shall be
subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or
charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber
or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit under this Plan shall in
any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or
torts of the person entitled to such benefits except such claims as may be made
by the Company or any Subsidiary.

     SECTION 10.  Notice. Any notice authorized or required to be given to the
Company under this Plan shall be deemed given upon delivery in writing, signed
by the person giving
<PAGE>

                                      17

the notice, to the Secretary of the Company or such other officer as may be
designated by the Board.

     SECTION 11. Plan Modifications. The Board of the Company may at any time
terminate this Plan or may, from time to time, amend any provision of this Plan
in such manner and to such extent as it may, in its discretion, deem to be
advisable. In the event this Plan is terminated, any amount remaining in any
Director's account will be distributed in such manner as is determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion.

     SECTION 12. Applicable Law. This Plan shall be governed by the law of the
State of Kansas.
