Participant elects to defer in the Participation Agreement executed by the
Participant, with respect to each Plan Year of participation in the Plan, shall
be credited by the Company to the Participant's Deferred Benefit Account
throughout each Plan Year as the Participant is paid the non-deferred portion of
Compensation for such Plan Year. The amount credited to a Participant's Deferred
Benefit Account shall equal the amount deferred. To the extent that the Employer
is required to withhold any taxes or other amounts relating to the employees'
deferred wages pursuant to any state, federal or local law, such amounts shall
be taken out of the portion of the Participant's Compensation which is not
deferred under this Plan.

5.2  Additional Amounts Under Savings Plan and Retirement Plan.

shall be made at death, disability or termination of employment, as the case may
be, for any reduction in benefits due to deferrals of Compensation under this
Plan in respect of any of the Employer's life insurance or disability plans or
Employees Stock Purchase Plan now in existence or adopted after the effective
date of this Plan.

5.4  Vesting of Deferred Benefit Account. A Participant shall be 100% vested in

6.1  Determination of Account. Each Participant's Deferred Benefit Account, as

plus the Participant's elective deferred compensation withheld since the
immediately preceding Determination Date pursuant to paragraph 5.1 and plus

paragraphs 6.4 and 6.5. The Deferred Benefit Account of each Participant shall
be reduced by the amount of all distributions, if any, made from such Deferred
Benefit Account since the preceding Determination Date.

6.2  Type of Deferral. A Participant may elect to have any portion of the amount
deferred credited to Account A (fixed income return), to Account B (FON Share

     Participant in Account A were transferred to an Account AA. As of the start
     of business on the Transition Date, amounts standing to the credit of each
     Participant in Account B that were attributable to prior transfers from
     Account A into Account B were transferred to an Account BB. The amount of
     such transfers was an amount equal to the sum of the dollar amount of all
     transfers from Account A to Account B during the period beginning on the
     effective date of the Participation Agreement and ending on the Transition
     Date. For all purposes of this Plan, except as otherwise noted in this
     Plan, Account AA shall be treated in the same manner as Account A, and
     Account BB shall be treated in the same manner as Account B.

(b)  Accounts D and DD. As of the Recapitalization Date, there was credited to

     in an Account B or BB with respect to any Plan Year, a number of PCS Share
     Units determined as follows:

     (1)  one-half of a PCS Share Unit in Account D for each Share Unit in
          Account B for such Participant for such Plan Year as of the
          Recapitalization Date; and

     (2)  one-half of a PCS Share Unit in the Retirement Deferred Benefit
          Account of Account DD for each Share Unit in the Retirement Deferred
          Benefit Account of Account BB for such Participant for such Plan Year
          as of the Recapitalization Date; and

     (3)  one-half of a PCS Share Unit in the Termination Deferred Benefit
          Account of Account DD for each Share Unit in the Termination Deferred
          Benefit Account of Account BB for such Participant for such Plan Year
          as of the Recapitalization Date.

For all purposes of this Plan except as otherwise noted in this Plan, Account DD
shall be treated in the same manner as Account D.

6.4  Maintenance of Accounts A and AA. As of each Determination Date, the
Participant's Deferred Benefit Accounts A and AA shall be increased by the
amount of interest earned since the preceding Determination Date. Interest on
Accounts A and AA shall be based upon the Interest Yield. For Account AA, a
Retirement Deferred Benefit

                                       11
<PAGE>

Account shall be maintained and increased at the rate specified by the
Retirement Interest Yield and a Termination Deferred Benefit Account shall be
maintained and increased at the rate specified by the Termination Interest
Yield. Interest shall be credited on the mean average of the balances of the
Deferred Benefit Account on the Determination Date (before crediting the
interest) and on the last preceding Determination Date, but after the Deferred
Benefit Account has been adjusted for any contributions or distributions to be
credited or deducted for each such day.

Units and PCS Share Units, respectively.

          converted into a FON Share Unit.

     (2)  Conversion between Dollar Amounts and FON Share Units in Accounts B
          and BB. When an amount is to be added to a Participant's Deferred
          Benefit Accounts B or BB, it shall be converted into FON Share Units,
          or fractions thereof, by dividing the amount to be credited by the
          closing price of the FON Common Stock, Series 1, as reported by the
          New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day on or before the
          Determination Date. When a number of FON Share Units is to be
          subtracted from a Participant's Deferred Benefit Accounts B or BB,
          such number of FON Share Units shall be converted into a dollar amount
          by multiplying such number of Share Units by the closing price of the
          FON Common Stock, Series 1, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange
          on the last trading day on or before the Determination Date.

     (3)  Sub-accounts to be Maintained for Purposes of Computing Retirement and
          Termination Benefits. Two sub-accounts shall be maintained for Account
          BB: (i) a Retirement Deferred Benefit Account which shall include the
          transfer from Account B into Account BB described in paragraph 6.3(a),
          plus amounts transferred from the

                                       12
<PAGE>

          Account AA Retirement Deferred Benefit Account, if any, plus amounts
          transferred from the Account DD Retirement Benefit Account, if any,
          plus other additions pursuant to this paragraph 6.5(a); and (ii) a
          Termination Deferred Benefit Account which shall include the transfer
          from Account B into Account BB described in paragraph 6.3(a) plus
          amounts transferred from the Account AA Termination Deferred Benefit
          Account, if any, plus amounts transferred from the Account DD
          Termination Deferred Benefit Account, if any, plus other additions
          pursuant to this paragraph 6.5(a).

     (4)  Dividends. When a dividend is declared and paid by the Company on its
          FON Common Stock, Series 1, an amount shall be credited to the
          Participant's Accounts B and BB as though the same dividend had been
          paid on the FON Share Units in such accounts as of the Determination
          Date immediately preceding the record date for the dividend, and such
          amount shall be converted to FON Share Units. Such amount shall be
          valued as of the Determination Date immediately following the payment
          of the dividend.

     (5)  Effect of Recapitalization. In the event of a stock dividend, stock
          split, or other corporate reorganization involving the FON Common
          Stock, Series 1, the Company shall make equitable adjustment to the
          number of FON Share Units credited to a Participant's Accounts B and
          BB as may be necessary to give effect to such change in the Company's
          capital structure.

     (6)  Conversion of Share Units to Dollars on Distribution. FON Share Units
          in Accounts B and BB shall be converted to an equivalent dollar amount
          before any distribution thereof to a Participant pursuant to Article
          VII. For purposes of distribution, the value of a FON Share Unit shall
          be the average closing price of the FON Common Stock, Series 1, on the
          New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of each of (i) the 12
          calendar months immediately preceding the date of distribution or (ii)
          the smaller number of calendar months (including part of a month)
          elapsed from the Recapitalization Date to such distribution. If a
          Participant elects payment in other than a lump sum, FON Share Units

          shall be so converted to a dollar amount with respect to each payment
          made in the distribution. During the period of distribution, dividends
          and other equitable adjustments shall be credited to the Participant's
          Accounts B and BB in accordance with paragraphs 6.5(a)(4) and
          6.5(a)(5). For such purposes, a Participant that is a Sprint Insider
          immediately before the event that entitles the Participant to
          distribution shall be deemed a Sprint Insider during the period of
          distribution.

(b)  Maintenance of Accounts D and DD.

     (1)  Conversion between Dollar Amounts and PCS Share Units in Accounts D
          and DD. When an amount is to be added to a Participant's Deferred
          Benefit Accounts D or DD, it shall be converted into PCS Share Units,
          or fractions thereof, by dividing the amount to be credited by the
          closing price of the PCS Common Stock, Series 1, as reported by the
          New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day on or before the
          Determination Date. When a number of PCS Share Units is to be
          subtracted from a Participant's Deferred Benefit Accounts D or DD,
          such number of PCS Share Units shall be converted into a dollar amount
          by multiplying such number of PCS Share Units by the closing price of
          PCS Common Stock, Series 1, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange
          on the last trading day on or before the Determination Date.

     (2)  Sub-accounts to be Maintained for Purposes of Computing Retirement and
          Termination Benefits. Two sub-accounts shall be maintained for Account
          DD: (i) a Retirement Deferred Benefit Account which shall include the
          value of the PCS Share Units credited pursuant to paragraph 6.3(b)(2),
          plus amounts transferred from the Account AA Retirement Benefit
          Account, if any, plus amounts transferred from the Account BB
          Retirement Benefit Account, if any, plus other additions pursuant to
          this paragraph 6.5(b) and (ii) a Termination Deferred Benefit Account
          which shall include the value of the PCS Share Units credited pursuant
          to paragraph 6.3(b)(3), plus amounts transferred from the Account AA
          Termination Benefit

                                       14
<PAGE>

          Account, if any, plus amounts transferred from the Account BB
          Termination Benefit Account, if any, plus other additions pursuant to
          this paragraph 6.5(b).

     (3)  Dividends. When a dividend is declared and paid by the Company on its
          PCS Common Stock, Series 1, an amount shall be credited to the
          Participant's Accounts D and DD as though the same dividend had been
          paid on the PCS Share Units in such accounts as of the Determination
          Date immediately preceding the record date for the dividend, and such
          amount shall be converted to PCS Share Units. Such amount shall be
          valued as of the Determination Date immediately following the payment
          of the dividend.

      (4) Effect of Recapitalization. In the event of a stock dividend, stock
          split or other corporate reorganization involving PCS Common Stock,
          Series 1, the Company shall make equitable adjustment to the number of
          PCS Share Units credited to a Participant's Accounts D and DD as may
          be necessary to give effect to such change in the Company's capital
          structure.

     (5)  Conversion of PCS Share Units to Dollars on Distribution. PCS Share
          Units in Accounts D and DD shall be converted to an equivalent dollar
          amount before any distribution thereof to a Participant pursuant to
          Article VII. For purposes of distribution, the value of a PCS Share
          Unit shall be the average closing price of PCS Common Stock, Series 1,
          on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day for each of (i)
          the 12 calendar months immediately preceding the date of such
          distribution or (ii) the smaller number of calendar months (including
          part of a month) elapsed from the Recapitalization Date to such
          distribution. If a Participant elects payment in other than a lump
          sum, PCS Share Units shall be so converted to a dollar amount with
          respect to each payment made in the distribution. During the period of
          distribution, dividends and other equitable adjustments shall be
          credited to the Participant's Accounts D and DD in accordance with
          paragraphs 6.5(b)(3) and 6.5(b)(4). For such purposes, a Participant
          that is a Sprint Insider immediately before the

                                       15
<PAGE>

          event that entitles the Participant to distribution shall be deemed a
          Sprint Insider during the period of distribution.

6.6  Statement of Accounts. The Company shall submit to each Participant, within
120 days after the close of each Plan Year, a statement in such form as the
Company deems desirable, setting forth the balance to the credit of such
Participant in the Participant's Deferred Benefit Accounts A, B, and D and in
the Participant's Deferred Benefit Accounts AA, BB, and DD (showing separate
calculations for each Interest Yield), in each case, as of the last day of the
preceding Plan Year.

6.7  Transfers Between Accounts. Within the limitations of this paragraph 6.7, a
Participant may elect, by executing an Account Transfer Request: (1) to transfer
all or any portion of the Participant's Account A to Account B or Account D, (2)
to transfer all or any portion of the Participant's Account B to Account A or
Account D, (3) to transfer all or any portion of the Participant's Account D to
Account A or Account B, (4) to transfer all or any portion of the Participant's
Account AA to Account BB or Account DD, (5) to transfer all or any portion of
the Participant's Account BB to Account AA or Account DD, and (6) to transfer
all or any portion of the Participant's Account DD to Account AA or Account BB.
Such election shall be effective on the last day of the calendar month in which
the Plan Administrator timely receives the Participant's executed Account
Transfer Request. Transfers may not be made more than four times in any Plan
Year, and no such transfer may be made unless a period of at least three months
shall have elapsed from the effective date of the most recent such transfer
(whether it occurred in the current Plan Year or not) to the effective date of
the current transfer.

                              ARTICLE VII
                               BENEFITS

7.1  Benefit for Normal or Early Retirement and Termination After Age 55.
Subject to paragraph 7.6 below, upon a Participant's (i) retirement after
reaching the Normal Retirement Date, or (ii) retirement after reaching the Early
Retirement Date, or (iii) termination of employment after attaining age 55, the
Participant shall be entitled to a Deferral Benefit equal to the amount of the
Participant's Retirement Deferred Benefit Account determined under paragraph 6.1
as of the Determination Date coincident with or immediately following such
event.

                                   16
<PAGE>

7.2  Termination of Employment Before Age 55. Upon any termination of service of
the Participant before age 55 for reasons other than death or Disability, the
Employer shall pay to the Participant, as compensation earned for services
rendered before the Participant's termination of service, a Deferral Benefit
equal to the amount of the Participant's Termination Deferred Benefit Account
determined under paragraph 6.1. The Termination Deferred Benefit Account of a
Participant whose employment has terminated shall be paid in a single sum to the
terminated Participant within 30 days following termination of employment if the
aggregate balance of the Deferred Benefit Account(s) of such Participant is
$20,000 or less. If such aggregate balance of a Participant's Deferred Benefit
Account(s) is more than $20,000, payment shall commence pursuant to the
Participant's election in the Participation Agreement or in the Amendment of
Payment Election Form.

7.3  Death. If a Participant dies after the commencement of payments of the
Participant's Deferral Benefit, the Participant's Beneficiary shall continue to
receive the remaining installments of the Participant's Deferred Benefit Account
in accordance with the Participant's election pursuant to paragraph 7.6.

If a Participant dies before any payments of a Deferral Benefit, the amounts to
which the Participant's Beneficiary is entitled shall be determined as follows:

(a)  In the case of deferrals pursuant to a Participation Agreement first
     effective before the Transition Date:

     (1)  Deferrals of Incentive Compensation shall be the Retirement Deferred
          Benefit Account value thereof.

     (2)  Deferrals of Base Salary pursuant to Participation Agreements that
          required a total deferral of less than $15,000 per year allocated to
          Accounts A and AA during the last Plan Year of deferrals pursuant to
          such Participation Agreement shall be the greater of (i) the
          Retirement Deferred Benefit Account value thereof or (ii) ten times
          the amount of the elected annual Base Salary deferral.

     (3)  Deferrals of Base Salary pursuant to Participation Agreements that
          required a total deferral of $15,000 or

                                       17
<PAGE>

          more per year allocated to Accounts A and AA during the last Plan Year
          of deferrals pursuant to such Participation Agreement shall be
          determined as follows: (i) that portion of the deferral which totals
          $15,000 per year shall be the greater of (x) the Retirement Deferred
          Benefit Account value thereof and (y) ten times the amount of the
          elected annual Base Salary deferral, and (ii) the portion of such
          deferral which is in excess of $15,000 per year shall be the
          Retirement Deferred Benefit Account value of such excess.

     (4)  Deferrals allocated to Accounts B and BB shall be the Retirement
          Deferred Benefit Account value thereof.

     (5)  Deferrals allocated to Accounts D and DD shall be the Retirement
          Deferred Benefit Account value thereof.

(b)  In the case of deferrals pursuant to a Participation Agreement first
     effective on or after the Transition Date, the aggregate amount of all
     deferrals shall be the Retirement Deferred Benefit Account value of
     Accounts A, B and D. The Deferral Benefit shall be payable as provided for
     in paragraph 7.6. The Deferral Benefit provided above shall be in lieu of
     all other benefits under this Plan.

7.4  Disability. In the event of Disability while employed by the Employer
before the completion of all deferrals provided for under a Participation
Agreement, the Employer shall credit to the disabled Participant's Deferred
Benefit Account an amount equal to the amount deferred by the Participant under
the Participation Agreement during such period of Disability, but not beyond the
end of the Plan Year to which the Participation Agreement applies.

In the event of Disability before termination of employment or the Normal
Retirement Date, the disabled Participant, unless the Participant otherwise
elects under this paragraph, shall be entitled to the amount in the
Participant's Retirement Deferred Benefit Account (rather than the Participant's
Termination Deferred Benefit Account) determined under paragraph 6.1 as of the
Determination Date next following such Disability, with payments to commence
upon attainment of the Participant's Normal Retirement Date in the form
specified in paragraph 7.6(a)(2) and/or 7.6(a)(3) over a 15 year period. Before
payments commence under the preceding sentence, a Disabled Participant may
elect, subject to

                                       18
<PAGE>

Committee approval upon good cause shown: (i) to accelerate commencement of the
payments to any earlier date, but not sooner than 60 days after the onset of
Disability and/or (ii) to change the form of payment permitted under paragraph
7.6(a).

7.5  Suspension of Participation; Failure to Continue Participation. The
Committee, in its sole discretion, may suspend the deferral of a Participant's
Compensation upon the advanced written request of a Participant on account of
financial hardship suffered by that Participant. A Participant must file any
request for such suspension on or before the 15th day preceding the regular
payment date on which the suspension is to take effect. The Committee, in its
sole discretion, shall determine the amount, if any, that will not be deferred
by the Participant as a result of the financial hardship.

The suspension of any deferrals under this paragraph shall not affect amounts
deferred with respect to periods before the effective date of the suspension. A
Participant whose deferrals are suspended may not execute a subsequent
Participation Agreement that would take effect before the beginning of the third
Plan Year following the close of the Plan Year in which the suspension first
took effect.

In the event the Participant ceases to remain a member of the class of employees
who are eligible to participate in this Plan, the Participant may elect to
suspend the amount of any remaining deferral commitment in the same manner as
described for other suspensions in this paragraph, except that Committee
approval shall not be required.

7.6  Form of Benefit Payment.

(a)  Upon the happening of an event described in paragraphs 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4
     above, the Employer shall pay to the Participant or the Participant's
     Beneficiary the amount (at a time designated by the Participant in the
     Participation Agreement, but commencing no later than the Participant's
     Normal Retirement Date) specified in one of the following forms as elected
     by the Participant, either in the Participation Agreement or the Amendment
     of Payment Election Form filed by the Participant:

     (1) a lump sum payment.

                                       19
<PAGE>

     (2)  with respect to balances in Accounts A and AA, an annual payment of a
          fixed amount that shall amortize the Deferred Benefit Account balance
          in equal annual payments of principal and interest over a period from
          2 to 20 years. For purposes of determining the amount of the annual
          payment, the assumed rate of interest on Accounts A and AA shall be
          the average of the applicable Interest Yield as of each Determination
          Date for the 60 months preceding the initial annual installment
          payment.

     (3)  with respect to balances in Accounts B and BB, an annual payment over
          a period from 2 to 20 years, each such payment having a value, as
          determined pursuant to paragraph 6.5(a)(6), of the number of FON Share
          Units equal to (i) the number of FON Share Units in the accounts on
          the Determination Date immediately following the event described in
          paragraph 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4, divided by (ii) the number of annual
          installments elected. During the period that a Participant is
          receiving a distribution from Account B or BB, FON Share Unit
          dividends will be added to the Accounts in accordance with
          subparagraph 6.5(a)(4). Such FON Share Unit dividends shall be valued
          in the same manner as previously described, and all such FON Share
          Units accruing after a distribution from Accounts B or BB is made
          shall be paid to the Participant with the next distribution from the
          account.

     (4)  with respect to balances in Accounts D and DD, an annual payment over
          a period from 2 to 20 years, each such payment having a value, as
          determined pursuant to paragraph 6.5(b)(5), of the number of PCS Share
          Units equal to (i) the number of PCS Share Units in the accounts on
          the Determination Date immediately following the event described in
          paragraph 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4, divided by (ii) the number of annual
          installments elected. During the period that a Participant is
          receiving a distribution from Account D or DD, PCS Share Unit
          dividends will be added to the Accounts in accordance with
          subparagraph 6.5(b)(3). Such PCS Share Unit dividends shall be valued
          in the same manner as previously described, and all such PCS Share
          Units accruing after a distribution from Accounts D or DD is

                                       20
<PAGE>

          made shall be paid to the Participant with the next  distribution from
          the account.

(b)  A Participant may change the form in which such Participant's benefits
     shall be paid by filing an Amendment of Payment Election Form indicating
     such change at least 13 months before the date upon which the payments to
     be made are determined. No such Amendment of Payment Election Form shall
     change the amount elected to be deferred in the Participation Agreement to
     which it relates, nor the time elected for commencement of benefit
     payments.

(c)  In the absence of a Participant's election under subparagraph 7.6(a),
     benefits shall be paid in the form specified in subparagraph 7.6(a)(2),
     7.6(a)(3), and 7.6(a)(4) over a 15 year period, except as provided in
     paragraph 7.2. In the event of a Disabled Participant, payment shall be in
     the form described in paragraph 7.4.

(d)  If a Participant's Beneficiary dies before payment of the Participant's
     Deferred Benefits are complete, payments will continue to be made to the
     estate of the Beneficiary in accordance with the Participant's election
     pursuant to this paragraph 7.6.

7.7  Withholding; Payroll Taxes. To the extent required by the law in effect at
the time payments are made, the Employer shall withhold from payments made
hereunder any taxes required to be withheld from an employee's wages for the
federal or any state or local government.

7.8  Commencement of Payments. Unless otherwise provided, payments under this
Plan shall begin within 60 days following receipt of notice by the Plan
Administrator of an event which entitles a Participant (or a Beneficiary) to
payments under this Plan, or at such earlier date as may be determined by the
Company pursuant to the terms of the Plan. All payments shall be made as of the
first day of the month.


                                  ARTICLE VIII
                             BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

8.1  Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant shall have the right, at any
time, to designate any person or persons as the Participant's Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries (both principal as well as contingent) to whom

                                       21
<PAGE>

payment under this Plan shall be paid in the event of the Participant's death
before complete distribution to the Participant of the benefits due the
Participant under the Plan.

8.2  Amendments. Any Beneficiary Designation may be changed by a Participant by
the written filing of such change on a form prescribed by the Company. The
filing of a new Beneficiary Designation form will cancel all Beneficiary
Designations previously filed.

8.3  No Beneficiary Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a
Beneficiary as provided above, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the
Participant, then the Participant's designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be
the person or persons surviving the Participant in the first of the following
classes in which there is a survivor, share and share alike:

(a)  The surviving Spouse;

(b)  The Participant's children, except that if any of the children predecease
     the Participant but leave issue surviving, then such issue shall take by
     right of representation the share their parent would have taken if living;

(c)  The Participant's personal representative (executor or administrator).

8.4  Effect of Payment. The payment to the Beneficiary or the Beneficiary's
estate shall completely discharge the Employer's obligations relating to the
Participant under this Plan.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                        AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

9.1  Amendment. The Board may at any time amend the Plan in whole or in part;
provided, however, that no amendment shall be effective to decrease or restrict
any Deferred Benefit Account at the time of such amendment.

9.2  Right to  Terminate.  The Board may at any time terminate the Plan with
respect to new elections to defer if, in its judgment, the continuance of the
Plan, the tax, accounting, or other effects thereof, or

                                       22
<PAGE>

potential payments thereunder would not be in the best interests of the Company.
The Board may also terminate the Plan in its entirety at any time, and upon any
such termination, each Participant (a) who is then receiving a Deferral Benefit
shall be paid in a lump sum, or over such period of time as determined by the
Company, the then remaining balance in the Participant's Deferred Benefit
Account, and (b) who has not received a Deferral Benefit shall be paid in a lump
sum, or over such period of time as determined by the Company, the balance in
the Participant's Deferred Benefit Account.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Unsecured General Creditor. Participants and their Beneficiaries shall have
no legal or equitable rights, interest or claims in any property or assets of
the Employer, nor shall they be Beneficiaries of, or have any rights, claims or
interests in any life insurance policies, annuity contracts or the proceeds
therefrom owned or which may be acquired by the Employer ('Policies'). Such
Policies or other assets of the Employer shall not be held under any trust for
the benefit of Participants or their Beneficiaries or held in any way as
collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of the Employer under
this Plan. Any and all of the Employer's assets and Policies shall be, and
remain, the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Employer. The
Employer's obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and
unsecured promise of the Employer to pay money in the future.

10.2 Nonassignability. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any
right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or
otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey in advance of actual receipt
the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all
rights to which are, expressly declared to be unassignable and non-transferable.
No part of the amounts payable shall, before actual payment, be subject to
seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or
separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor be
transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant's or any other
person's bankruptcy or insolvency.

10.3 Not a Contract of Service. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not
be deemed to constitute a contract of service between the Employer and the
Participant, and the Participant (or the Participant's Beneficiary) shall have
no rights against the Employer except as may otherwise be specifically provided
herein. Moreover, nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the
right to be retained in the service of the Employer or to interfere with the
right of the Employer to discipline or discharge the Participant at any time.

10.4 Protective Provisions. A Participant will cooperate with the Employer by
furnishing any and all information requested by the Employer, in order to
facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, and by taking such physical

may be requested by the Employer.

10.5 Applicable Law. The Plan, and any Participation Agreement related thereto,
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Kansas, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law.

10.6 Affiliated Entities. For purposes of this Plan, a Participant who becomes

terminated employment with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company until the
Participant's employment is terminated with all Affiliated Entities without
becoming employed by the Company or its subsidiaries.
