CSX Corporation ("CSX") has granted to you non-qualified stock options
("Options") to purchase CSX common stock. Your grant has been made pursuant to
CSX's Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which, together with the terms
contained in this Notice, sets forth terms and conditions of your grant and is
incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan is available on the CSX
intranet (http://csxnet) under "Incentive Plans." You should review the terms of
          -------------
this Notice and the Plan carefully. The capitalized terms used in this Notice
are defined in the Plan. Unless you notify the CSX Corporate Secretary in
writing that you do not accept the Option, you will be deemed to have agreed to
the terms of this Notice and the terms of the Plan. CSX reserves the right to
terminate, change or amend the Plan at any time. Receipt of this grant does not
obligate CSX to make any additional grants to you.

Vesting:
The Options may be exercised only when vested. Subject to the terms of the Plan,
the Options will become vested according to the following schedule:

      Date of                  Shares                            Expiration
      Vesting                  Vested                            Date
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     *Date*                   **Shares_Period_1**                *Date*
     *Date*                   **Shares_Period_2**                *Date*
     *Date*                   **Shares_Period_3**                *Date*

In the case of a Change in Control, the Options will become fully vested
immediately. In the event of your Retirement, Disability or death, the Options
will become vested at the dates listed above as if you had continued employment.
Additionally, the Options will vest on the dates listed above as if you had
continued employment if (i) your employer is involved in a Divisive Transaction,
or (ii) your employment is terminated, with the consent of the Company, as a
result of a business transaction, a reduction in force or any other
circumstances approved by the Compensation Committee.

Employment Requirements and Exercisability:
If you separate from employment for any reason other than Retirement, Disability
or death, you will have 30 days after your separation from employment to
exercise any Options that are vested on your separation from employment. If your
employment is terminated for Cause, however, all your rights under the Options
shall be null and void.

In the event of your separation from employment due to Disability or death, you
or your Beneficiary or estate will have five years (but not later than the
expiration date) to exercise any vested Options. Beneficiary designation forms
may be obtained upon request from the CSX Corporate Secretary's Office. If your
separation from employment is because of Retirement, you will have until the
expiration date to exercise any vested Options. If your employer is involved in
a Divisive Transaction or your employment is terminated with the consent of the
Company as a result of a business transaction, a reduction in force, or any
other circumstances approved by the Compensation Committee, you will have until
the later of three years from the event or one year from the applicable date of
vesting to exercise the Options.

Exercise:
You may exercise these Options, in whole or in part, to purchase a whole number
of vested shares at any time by following the exercise procedures established by
CSX. All exercises must take place before the expiration date, or such earlier
dates as established by this Notice or the Plan. An exercise of Options
generates federal and applicable state income and employment tax withholding
obligations. The full purchase price of the shares being purchased through
exercise of Options and the related withholding taxes for federal, state or
local jurisdictions must be paid to CSX at the time of an exercise of Options.
For further information regarding procedures for exercising Options, you should
contact the CSX Corporate Secretary's Office at 804-782-1465 (RNX 422).

Restrictions on Exercise:
Your ability to exercise the Options is subject to any restrictions or
requirements imposed by law or by CSX.<PAGE>

                                  INTRODUCTION
                                  ------------

     This Supplementary Savings and Incentive Award Deferral Plan for Eligible
Executives of CSX Corporation and Affiliated Companies (the "Plan") was adopted
October 1, 1987 and has been subsequently amended from time to time. This
restatement of the Plan is effective January 1, 1995. This Plan is generally
intended to provide certain executives eligible to participate in the Tax
Savings Thrift Plan for Employees of CSX Corporation and Affiliated Companies
(the "Savings Plan") with an opportunity to defer a portion of their salary,
and/or award(s) under the Management Incentive Compensation Program ("MICP")
and/or the Senior Management Incentive Compensation Program ("SMICP") until
their retirement or other termination of employment and to restore employer
matching contributions lost under the Savings Plan because of the application of
Sections 401(a)(17), 401(k), 401(m) and 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended. Commencing with respect to MICP awards paid and salary earned
after 1990, eligible executives may, if they so elect, designate all or a
portion of such deferrals to be used for payment of education expenses for one
or more members of their families. The Plan is unfunded and is maintained by CSX
Corporation and Affiliated Companies primarily for the purpose of providing
deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly-compensated
employees. The Plan as restated effective January 1, 1995 (and amended through
December 31, 1997) reads as hereinafter set forth.

                             ARTICLE I. DEFINITIONS

elected to defer, as adjusted pursuant to Article 5. The Account shall consist

all amounts not in those accounts shall be allocated to one or more "Retirement
Sub-accounts". The Administrator may establish a maximum number of "Retirement
Sub-accounts" which a Member may have at any time. In addition to any Retirement
Sub-accounts established by the Administrator, an additional Retirement
Sub-account known as the Cash Plan Retirement Sub-account shall be established
for deferrals of payments from the CSX Market Value Cash Plan. The Administrator
also may establish such other sub-accounts within a Member's Account as it deems
necessary to implement the provisions of the Plan.

otherwise payable in cash as determined by the Committee; and (ii) the amount

         same rate of return as the CSX Cash Pool Earnings Rate from the date

         performance under this Section 3.3(b). Following a Change of Control,
         the Committee's decision is subject to final approval of the Benefits
         Trust Committee.

                               Compensation for a payroll period by the excess
                               of his Salary Deferral Percentage over the
                               percentage determined in subparagraph (ii) below

                                      -10-

                      (ii)     An Eligible Executive's Additional Salary
                               Deferral shall be determined by multiplying his
                               Compensation for a payroll period by a percentage
                               determined as (A) the excess of his Salary
                               Deferral Percentage over 15%, divided by (B) .85.

         provided, however, that no Basic Salary Deferral shall be made under
         this Plan for any payroll period unless the Eligible Executive is
         prevented from making elective deferrals under the Tax Savings Thrift
         Plan for such payroll period as a result of Section 402(g) and/or
         401(k)(3) of the Code, and provided further that, for the payroll
         period in which such Basic Salary Deferral is first made, it shall be
         limited to the excess of the amount otherwise determined for such
         payroll period under Section 4.3(a)(i) over the Eligible Executive's
         elective deferrals under the Tax Savings Thrift Plan for such payroll
         period. If applicable, Additional Salary Deferrals shall be made for
         each payroll period of the year to which the Salary Deferral Agreement
         applies, without regard to whether the Eligible Executive makes
         elective deferrals under the Tax Savings Thrift Plan and without
         regard to any Basic Salary Deferrals under this Plan.

                  (b) An Eligible Executive shall not be entitled to make Salary
         Deferrals on or after attaining the age, if any, which he has
         designated under Section 6.1(c) or 6.1(d) for the purpose of commencing
         distribution of his Account (or, if applicable, his Retirement
         Sub-account). In the event a Member establishes an Education
         Sub-account pursuant to Article 9, he shall not be entitled to make
         Salary Deferrals into such Sub-account after attaining the age which he
         has designated for the purpose of commencing distribution from that
         Sub-account.

         4.4      Changing Salary Deferrals:

                  (a) An Eligible Executive's election on his Salary Deferral
         Agreement of the rate at which he authorizes Salary Deferrals under the
         Plan shall remain in effect in subsequent calendar years unless he
         files with the Administrator an amendment to his Salary Deferral
         Agreement modifying or revoking such election. The amendment shall be
         filed by December 30 and shall be effective for payroll periods
         beginning on or after the following January 1.

                  (b) Notwithstanding Section 4.4(a), an Eligible Executive may,
         in the event of a severe financial hardship, request a suspension of
         his Salary Deferrals under the Plan. The request shall be made at a
         time and in a manner determined by the Administrator, and shall be
         effective as of such date as the Administrator prescribes. The
         Administrator shall apply standards, to the extent applicable,
         identical to those described in Section 6.3 in making its
         determination. The Eligible Executive may apply to the Administrator to
         resume his Salary Deferrals with respect to payroll periods beginning
         on or after the January 1 following the date of suspension, at a time
         and in a manner determined by the Administrator; provided, that the
         Administrator shall approve such resumption only if the Administrator
         determines that the Eligible Executive is no longer incurring such
         hardship. Notwithstanding the preceding, following a Change of Control,
         such action by the Administrator is subject to approval by the Benefits
         Trust Committee.

         4.5      Certain Additional Credits:

         On each Valuation Date, there shall be credited Matching Credits to the
Retirement Sub-account(s) of an Eligible Executive determined as follows:

                  (a) For payroll periods prior to the inception of Basic Salary
         Deferrals hereunder, the greater of (b)(i) or (ii)

                                      -11-

<PAGE>
                  (b)     For payroll periods during which Basic Salary
         Deferrals are effective, the greater of (i) or (iii), minus (iv), where

                          (i)      is the employer matching contributions the
                                   Eligible Executive would have received under
                                   the Tax Savings Thrift Plan if the provisions
                                   of Sections 401(k)(3), 401(m)(9) and 415 of
                                   the Code had not applied to the Tax Savings
                                   Thrift Plan; and

                          (ii)     is an amount determined as 3% of the Eligible
                                   Executive's additional Salary Deferrals; and

                          (iii)    is the employer matching contributions the
                                   Eligible Executive would have received under
                                   the Tax Savings Thrift Plan if his deferrals
                                   under this Plan had been contributed to the
                                   Tax Savings Thrift Plan (in addition to those
                                   amounts actually contributed to that Plan),
                                   based on "Compensation" as defined in this
                                   Plan and as if the provisions of Sections
                                   401(a)(17), 401(k)(3), 401(m)(2), 401(m)(9)
                                   and 415 of the Code had not applied to the
                                   Tax Savings Thrift Plan; and

                          (iv)     is the employer matching contributions made
                                   on his behalf for the applicable period to
                                   the Tax Savings Thrift Plan.

         No Matching Credits shall be credited to a Member's Education
         Sub-account.

                       ARTICLE 5. MAINTENANCE OF ACCOUNTS
                       ----------------------------------

         5.1      Adjustment of Account:

                  (a)     As of each Valuation Date each Account (and, if
         applicable, each Sub-account) shall be credited or debited with the
         amount of earnings or losses with which such Sub-account would have
         been credited or debited, assuming it had been invested in one or more
         investment funds, or earned the rate of return of one or more indices
         of investment performance, designated by the Administrator and, if
         applicable, elected by the Member or former Member, for purposes of
         measuring the investment performance of his Sub-accounts.

                  (b)     The Administrator shall designate at least one
         investment fund or index of investment performance and may designate
         other investment funds or investment indices to be used to measure the
         investment performance of Accounts. The designation of any such
         investment funds or indices shall not require the Affiliated Companies
         to invest or earmark their general assets in any specific manner. The
         Administrator may change the designation of investment funds or indices
         from time to time, in its sole discretion, and any such change shall
         not be deemed to be an amendment affecting Members' or former Members'
         rights under Section 7.2.

                  (c)     For purposes of Section 5.1(a), the portion of a
         Member's Retirement Sub-accounts attributable to Matching Credits shall
         be credited or debited with earnings or losses based upon the
         performance of "Fund E" (CSX Stock Fund) under the Tax Savings Thrift
         Plan.

                  (d)     As of February 1, 1989, there shall be credited to the
         Account of each Eligible Executive who participated in the Supplemental
         Benefit Plan of Sea-Land Corporation and

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

         Affiliated Companies the amount of deferred compensation under that
         plan as of January 31, 1989 attributable to amounts credited under that
         plan for the purpose of restoring contributions to a defined
         contribution plan which were limited by Section 415 of the Code. Such
         amounts shall be treated as Salary Deferrals under the Plan, and unless
         transferred pursuant to Section 5.3(a), shall earn the same rate of
         return as the CSX Cash Pool Earnings Rate.

         5.2      Investment Performance Elections:

                  (a) In the event the Administrator designates more than one
         investment fund or index of investment performance under Section 5.1,
         each Member and, if applicable, former Member, shall file an initial
         investment election with the Administrator with respect to the
         investment of his Salary Deferrals within such time period and on such
         form as the Administrator may prescribe. The election shall designate
         the investment fund or funds or index or indices of investment
         performance which shall be used to measure the investment performance
         of the Member's Salary Deferrals. The election shall be effective as of
         the beginning of the payroll period next following the date the
         election is filed. The election shall be in increments of 1%.

                  (b) In the event the Administrator designates more than one
         investment fund or index under Section 5.1, each Member shall file an
         initial investment election each calendar year in which he defers an
         Award with respect to the amount deferred. The election shall be made
         within such time period and on such form as the Administrator
         prescribes and shall be in increments of 1% of the amount deferred. The
         election shall be effective on the Valuation Date on which the amount
         determined is credited to the Member's Account.

                  (c) A Member may not elect separate investment funds or
         indices of investment performance with respect to each Sub-account.

         5.3      Changing Investment Elections:

                  (a) A Member may change his election in Section 5.2(a) with
         respect to his future Salary Deferrals, no more than once each calendar
         quarter, by filing an appropriate written notice with the
         Administrator. The notice shall be effective as of the beginning of the
         first payroll period following the date the notice is filed with the
         Administrator.

                  (b) A Member or, if applicable, former Member may reallocate
         the current balance of his Retirement and/or Education Sub-accounts,
         thereby changing the investment fund or funds or index or indices of
         investment performance used to measure the future investment
         performance of his existing Account balance, by filing an appropriate
         written notice with the Administrator. Each Retirement or Education
         Sub-account may be reallocated separately. The election shall be
         effective as of the last business day of the calendar quarter following
         the month in which the notice is filed. No election under this Section
         5.3(b) shall apply to the portion of a Member's Account attributable to
         Matching Credits.

         5.4      Vesting of Account:  Each Member shall be fully vested in his
         Account.

         5.5      Individual Accounts: The Administrator shall maintain, or
cause to be maintained, records showing the individual balances of each Account
and each Sub-account. At least once a year, each Member and, if applicable,
former Member shall be furnished with a statement setting forth the value of his
Account and his Sub-accounts.

                                      -13-

     5.6   Action Following a Change of Control: Following a Change of Control,
any action taken by the Administrator pursuant to this Article 5 is subject to
the approval of the Benefits Trust Committee.

                         ARTICLE 6. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

     6.1   Commencement of Payment:

           (a) The distribution of the Member's or former Member's Account shall
     commence, pursuant to Section 6.2, on or after the occurrence of (i), (ii),
     (iii) or (iv) below, as designated by the Member as a Distribution Option
     election:

               (i)   the Member's termination of employment with the Affiliated
                     Companies,

               (ii)  attainment of a designated age not earlier than age 59-1/2
                     (on or after January 1, 1995 age 50) nor later than age
                     70-1/2,

               (iii) the earlier of (i) or (ii) above, or

               (iv)  the later of (i) or (ii) above.

           In the event a Member elects either (ii) or (iii) above, he may not
     elect an age less than three years subsequent to his current age. If a
     Member elects to defer an Award identified in Section 1.4(ii) (a payment
     from the CSX Market Value Cash Plan), such deferral must extend the
     commencement of distribution beyond December 31, 2004. A Member or former
     Member shall not change his Distribution Option election of the designation
     of the event which entitles him to distribution of his Account, except as
     provided in Section 6.1(c) below; provided, however, no change in
     Distribution Option election shall be allowed if it results in changing the
     deferral of commencement of distribution of an Award identified in Section
     1.4(ii) to a time before January 1, 2005. For purposes of this Plan and
     particularly this Section 6.1(a), if the Member's employer is involved in a
     Divisive Transaction, the Member will not be considered to have terminated
     his employment with an Affiliated Company until his employment with his
     employer terminates.

           (b) Effective January 1, 1995, a Member or former Member shall,
     pursuant to Section 6.9, be eligible to make a Distribution Option election
     of the designation of the event which entitles him to distribution of his
     Account in the event of a Change of Control.

           (c) A Member or former Member may change his Distribution Option
     election of the designation of the events which entitle him to distribution
     of his Account under Section 6.1(a) and Section 6.1(b), as follows:

               (i)   A Member or former Member may make a request in writing to
                     the Administrator to defer the Member's designated
                     distribution event under Section 6.1(a). The requests must
                     be filed with the Administrator at least one year prior to
                     when distribution would commence based on the current
                     designation. The deferral requests must specify a
                     distribution event described in Section 6.1(a), shall be
                     subject to approval of the Administrator and, if approved,
                     shall be effective as of the date that is one

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

                     year after the request is filed with the Administrator. If
                     the Member's current distribution event will occur upon his
                     termination of employment and the Member's employment
                     terminates within one year after the deferral request is
                     made, the deferral request shall not be effective. A
                     deferral request under this Section 6.1(c)(i) shall not
                     result in a forfeiture of the Member's or former Member's
                     Account.

               (ii)  Notwithstanding Section 6.1(c)(i), a Member or former
                     Member may change his designated distribution event under
                     Section 6.1(a) or 6.1(b), no more frequently than once in
                     any calendar year, by filing with the Administrator an
                     amendment to his Distribution Option election on or before
                     December 30 (or the last preceding business day if December
                     30 is not a weekday). The change shall be limited to those
                     events entitling a Member to a distribution that are
                     described in Section 6.1(a), shall be subject to approval
                     of the Administrator and, if approved, shall be effective
                     as of the last Valuation Date of the calendar year in which
                     the change is filed. Unless the election complies with the
                     requirements of Section 6.1(c)(i), or unless the provisions
                     of Section 6.1(e) apply, an election under this Section
                     6.1(c)(ii) shall result in the forfeiture of five percent
                     (5%) of the Member's or former Member's Account, determined
                     as of the Valuation Date upon which the election is
                     effective. If the Member or former Member changes the form
                     in which his Account is to be distributed under Section
                     6.2(c)(ii) at the same time as he changes his designated
                     distribution event under this Section 6.1(c)(ii), the
                     combined forfeitures will be five percent (5%) of the
                     Member's or former Member's Account, determined as of the
                     Valuation Date upon which the election is effective.

          (d)  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.1 or Article 9 to the
     contrary, a Member's Account shall be distributed upon his  death.

          (e)  A Member may not change the designation of the event which
     entitles him to distribution of one or more Education Sub-accounts, except
     that a Member may transfer the entire amount in any Education Sub-account
     to one or more other Education Sub-accounts and one or more of his
     Retirement Sub-accounts, or any combination thereof, subject to a possible
     forfeiture of five percent (5%) of the Sub-account so transferred, as
     provided in Article 9.

          (f)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to a Change of Control, the
     Corporation may delay payment of a benefit under this Plan to any Member
     who is determined to be among the top five most highly paid executives for
     the year the benefit under this Plan would otherwise be paid; provided,
     however, if a Member's payment is delayed, the benefit to which he is
     entitled will not decrease after the date it would otherwise be
     distributed.

          (g)  Notwithstanding the preceding, following a Change of Control, the
     authority to delay payment of a Member's or former Member's Account rests
     solely with the Benefits Trust Committee.

     6.2  Method of Payment:

          (a)  A Member's or former Member's Retirement Sub-account(s) shall be
     distributed to him, or in the event of his death to his Beneficiary, in a
     cash single sum payment as soon as

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

     administratively practicable following the January 1 coincident with or
     next following the date the Member incurs the Distribution Option elected
     under Section 6.1 or his date of death, as the case may be. Matching
     Credits earned in respect to periods following the date of such
     distributable event shall be paid directly to the Member in cash as soon as
     practical. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member or former Member may
     make a Distribution Option election to receive distribution of his Account
     in semi-annual installments over a period not to exceed twenty (20) years.
     Installments shall be determined as of each June 30 and December 31 and
     shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable thereafter.
     Installments shall commence as of the July 1 or January 1 coincident with
     or next following the date the Member incurs the distributable event
     elected as a Distribution Option under Section 6.1, or as soon as
     administratively practicable thereafter. The amount of each installment
     shall equal the balance in the Account as of the Valuation Date of
     determination, divided by the number of remaining installments (including
     the installment being determined). The Distribution Option election shall
     be irrevocable except as provided in Section 6.2(c) below. If a Member or
     former Member dies before payment of the entire balance of his Account, the
     remaining balance shall be paid in a single sum to his Beneficiary as soon
     as administratively practicable following the January 1 coincident with or
     next following his date of death.

          (b)  Effective January 1, 1995, a Member or former Member shall,
pursuant to Section 6.9, be eligible to make a separate Distribution Option
election of the form of payment of his Account in the event of a Change of
Control.

          (c)  Notwithstanding Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(b), a Member or
former Member may change the Distribution Option election of the form in which
his Account is distributed, as follows:

               (i)  A Member or former Member may make a one-time request to the
                    Administrator to change the form in which his Account is to
                    be distributed under Section 6.2(a). A Member or former
                    Member may also make a one-time request to change the form
                    in which his Account is to be distributed under Section
                    6.2(b). The request must be filed in writing with the
                    Administrator at least one year prior to when distribution
                    would commence based on the current designation. The
                    requests must specify a form of distribution described in
                    Section 6.2(a), shall be subject to approval of the
                    Administrator and, if approved, shall be effective as of the
                    date that is one year after the request is filed with the
                    Administrator. If the Member's distribution event will occur
                    upon his termination of employment and the Member's
                    employment terminates within one year after the request is
                    filed, the request shall not be effective. A request under
                    this Section 6.2(c)(i) shall not result in a forfeiture of
                    the Member's or former Member's Account.

               (ii) Notwithstanding Section 6.2(c)(i), a Member or former Member
                    may change the form in which his Account is to be
                    distributed under Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b), no more
                    frequently than once in any calendar year, by filing with
                    the Administrator an amendment to his Distribution Option
                    election on or before December 30 (or the last preceding
                    business day if December 30 is not a weekday). The change
                    shall be limited to those forms of distribution described in
                    Section 6.2(a), shall be subject to approval of the
                    Administrator and, if approved, shall be effective as of the

                                      -16-

<PAGE>
                    last Valuation Date of the calendar year in which it is
                    filed. Unless the election complies with the requirements
                    for a one-time request under Section 6.2(c)(i), or unless
                    the provisions of Section 6.2(d) apply, an election under
                    this Section 6.2(c)(ii) shall result in the forfeiture of
                    five percent (5%) of the Member's or former Member's
                    Account, determined as of the Valuation Date upon which the
                    election is effective. If the Member or former Member
                    changes his designated distribution event under this Section
                    6.2(c)(ii) at the same time as he changes the form in which
                    his Account is to be distributed under Section 6.1(c)(ii),
                    the combined forfeiture will be five percent (5%) of the
                    Member's or former Member's Account, determined as of the
                    Valuation Date upon which the election is effective.

          (d)  In the event the Member's Account consists of one or more
     Retirement Sub-accounts and one or more Education Sub-accounts, the
     provisions of this Section 6.2 shall apply exclusively to the Member's
     Retirement Sub-accounts. A Member may not change the form in which his
     Education Sub-accounts are distributed, except that a Member may transfer
     the entire amount in any Education Sub-account to one or more other
     Education Sub-accounts and one or more Retirement Sub-accounts, or any
     combination thereof, subject to a possible forfeiture of five percent (5%)
     of the Sub-account so transferred, as provided in Article 9.

     6.3  Applicability: In the event the Member's Account consists of one or
          more Retirement Sub-accounts and one or more Education Sub-accounts,
          the provisions of Sections 6.1(a) and 6.1(c) and 6.2 shall apply
          exclusively to the Member's Retirement Sub-accounts.

     6.4  Account Adjustment: The obligations of the Corporation or any of its
          affiliated corporations and the benefits due any Member, former
          Member, surviving spouse or beneficiary hereunder shall be reduced by
          any amount received in regard thereto under the Benefits Assurance
          Trust or any similar trust or other vehicle.

     6.5  Hardship Withdrawal:

          (a)  While employed by the Participating Companies, a Member or former
     Member may, in the event of a severe financial hardship, request a
     withdrawal from his Account. The request shall be made in a time and manner
     determined by the Administrator, shall not be for a greater amount than the
     amount required to meet the financial hardship, and shall be subject to
     approval by the Administrator.

          (b)  For purposes of this Section 6.5 financial hardship shall
     include:

               (i)  education of a dependent child where the Member or former
                    Member shows that without the withdrawal under this Section
                    the education would be unavailable to the child;

               (ii) illness of the Member or former Member or his dependents,
                    resulting in severe financial hardship to the Member or
                    former Member;

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

               (iii) the loss of the Member's or former Member's home or its
                     contents, to the extent not reimbursable by insurance or
                     otherwise, if such loss results in a severe financial
                     hardship to the Member or former Member;

               (iv)  any other extraordinary circumstances of the Member or
                     former Member approved by the Administrator if such
                     circumstances would result in a present or impending
                     critical financial need which the Member or former Member
                     is unable to satisfy with funds reasonably available from
                     other sources.

          (c)  Notwithstanding the preceding, following a Change of Control, any
     decisions or determinations by the Administrator under this Section 6.5
     shall be subject to the approval of the Benefits Trust Committee.

     6.6  Designation of Beneficiary: A Member or former Member may, at a time
and in a manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary and one
or more contingent beneficiaries (which may include the Member's or former
Member's estate) to receive any benefits which may be payable under this Plan
upon his death. If the Member or former Member do not designate a beneficiary or
contingent beneficiary, or if the beneficiary and the contingent beneficiaries
do not survive the Member or former Member, such benefits shall be paid to the
Member's or former Member's estate. A Member or former Member may revoke or
change any designation made under this Section 6.6 in a time and manner
determined by the Administrator.

     6.7  Special Distribution Rules: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Plan, if (a) a Member or former Member becomes the owner, director or
employee of a competitor of the Affiliated Companies, (b) his employment is
terminated by an Affiliated Company on account of actions by the Member which
are detrimental to the interests of the Affiliated Company, or (c) he engages in
conduct subsequent to the termination of his employment with the Affiliated
Companies which the Administrator determines to be detrimental to the interests
of an Affiliated Company, then the Administrator may, in its sole discretion,
pay the Member or former Member a single sum payment equal to the balance in his
Account. The single sum payment shall be made as soon as practicable following
the date the Member or former Member becomes an owner, director or employee of a
competitor, his termination of employment or the Administrator's determination
of detrimental conduct, as the case may be, and shall be in lieu of all other
benefits which may be payable to the Member or former Member under this Plan.

     6.8  Status of Account Pending Distribution: Pending distribution, a former
Member's Account (and, if applicable, a former Member's Sub-accounts) shall
continue to be credited with earnings and losses as provided in Section 5.1. The
former Member shall be entitled to change his investment elections under Section
5.3 or apply for Hardship withdrawals under Section 6.5 to the same extent as if
he were a Member of the Plan. In the event of the death of a Member or former
Member, his Sub-accounts shall be credited with earnings and losses as if the
Sub-accounts had earned the same rate of return as the CSX Corporation Cash Pool
Earnings Rate or, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, the rate of
return of such other index of investment performance or investment fund which
may be designated by the Administrator as a measure for investment performance
of Members' or former Members' Accounts (and, if applicable, their
Sub-accounts), commencing with the Valuation Date coincident with or next
following the Member's or former Member's date of death.

     6.9  Installments and Withdrawals Pro-Rata: In the event of an installment
payment or hardship withdrawal, such payment or withdrawal shall be made on a
pro-rata basis from the portions of the Member's or former Member's existing
Account balance which are subject to different measures of

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

investment performance. In the event of a hardship withdrawal, the withdrawal
shall be made on a pro-rata basis from all of the Member's or former Member's
Sub-accounts.

     6.10  Change of Control:

           (a) If a Change of Control has occurred, the Corporation and
      Participating Companies shall contribute to the Trust within 7 days of
      such Change of Control, a lump sum payment equal to the greater of (i) the
      aggregate value of the amount each Member or former Member would be
      eligible to receive (determined under (b) below) as of the latest
      Valuation Date coinciding with or preceding the date of Change of Control
      or (ii) the amount determined under Section 1(h) of the Trust attributable
      to liabilities relating to the Plan to the extent such amounts are not
      already in the Trust. The aggregate value of the amount of the lump sum to
      be contributed to the Trust pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be
      determined by the Independent Accountants after consultation with the
      entity then maintaining the Plan's records, and shall be projected, if
      necessary, to such Valuation Date from the last valuation of Members' or
      former Members' Accounts for which information is readily available.
      Thereafter, the Independent Accountants shall annually determine as of a
      Valuation Date for each Member or former Member not receiving a lump sum
      payment pursuant to subsection (b) below the value of each Member or
      former Member's Accounts. To the extent that the value of the assets held
      in the Trust relating to this Plan do not equal the aggregate amount
      described in the preceding sentence, at the time of the valuation, as
      determined by the Independent Accountants, the Corporation and
      Participating Companies shall make a lump sum contribution to the Trust
      equal to the difference.

           (b) In the event a Distribution Event has occurred, the trustee of
      the Trust shall, within 45 days of such Distribution Event, pay to each
      Member or former Member not making an election under (c) below, a lump sum
      payment equal to the value of the Member's or former Member's Accounts
      (determined under Article 5) as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or
      next preceding the date of such Distribution Event. The amount of each
      Member's or former Member's lump sum payment shall be determined by the
      Independent Accountants after consultation with the entity then
      maintaining the Plan's records, and shall be projected, if necessary, to
      such Valuation Date from the last valuation of Member's or former Member's
      Accounts for which information is readily available.

           (c) Each Member or former Member may elect in a time and manner
      determined by the Administrator, but in no event later than December 31,
      1996, or the occurrence of a Distribution Event, if earlier, to have
      amounts and benefits determined and payable under the terms of the Plan as
      if a Distribution Event had not occurred. New Members of the Plan may
      elect in a time and manner determined by the Administrator, but in no
      event later than 90 days after becoming a Member, to have amounts and
      benefits determined and payable under the terms of the Plan as if a
      Distribution Event had not occurred. A Member or former Member who has
      made an election, as set forth in the two preceding sentences, may, at any
      time and from time to time, change that election; provided, however, a
      change of election that is made within one year of a Distribution Event
      shall be invalid.

           (d) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, each Member
      or former Member who has made an election under (c) above may elect within
      90 days following a Distribution Event, in a time and manner determined by
      the Benefits Trust Committee, to receive a lump sum payment calculated
      under the provisions of (b) above determined as of the Valuation Date next
      preceding such payment, except that such calculated amount shall be
      reduced by 5% and such reduction shall be irrevocably forfeited by the
      Member or former Member. Furthermore, as a result of such election, the
      Member or former Member shall no longer be eligible to participate or

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

     otherwise benefit from the Plan. Payments under this subsection (d) shall
     be made not later than 7 days following receipt by the Corporation of a
     Member's or former Member's election. The Benefits Trust Committee shall,
     no later than 7 days after a Distribution Event has occurred, give written
     notification to each Member or former Member eligible to make an election
     under this subsection (d), that a Distribution Event has occurred and
     informing such Member or former Member of the availability of the election.

                       ARTICLE 7. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

     7.1  Right to Terminate:

          (a) Prior to a Change of Control, the Board may, in its sole
     discretion, terminate this Plan and the related Deferral Agreements at any
     time. Following a Change of Control, this Plan may not be terminated
     without the approval of the Benefits Trust Committee.

          (b) Prior to a Change of Control, the Committee may terminate an
     Affiliated Company's participation as a Participating Company in this Plan
     for any reason at any time. Following a Change of Control, an Affiliated
     Company may not be terminated from participation as a Participating Company
     without the consent of the Benefits Trust Committee.

          (c) Prior to a Change of Control, an Affiliated Company's board of
     directors may terminate that Affiliated Company's participation as a
     Participating Company for any reason at any time. Following a Change of
     Control, an Affiliated Company's participation as a Participating Company
     may not be terminated without the consent of the Benefits Trust Committee.

          (d) In the event the Plan and related Deferral Agreements are
     terminated, each Member, former Member and Beneficiary shall receive a
     single sum payment equal to the balance in his Account. The single sum
     payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the date the Plan is
     terminated and shall be in lieu of any other benefit which may be payable
     to the Member, former Member or Beneficiary under this Plan.

     7.2 Right to Amend: Prior to a Change of Control, the Board may, in its
sole discretion, amend this Plan and the related Deferral Agreements on 30 days
prior notice to the Members and, where applicable, former Members. Following a
Change of Control, all amendments to this Plan are subject to the approval of
the Benefits Trust Committee. If any amendment to this Plan or to the Deferral
Agreements shall adversely affect the rights of a Member or former Member, such
individual must consent in writing to such amendment prior to its effective
date. If such individual does not consent to the amendment, the Plan and related
Deferral Agreements shall be deemed to be terminated with respect to such
individual and he shall receive a single sum payment of his Account as soon
thereafter as is practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator's
change in any investment funds or investment index under Section 5.1(b) or the
restriction of future deferrals under the salary deferral program or award
deferral program shall not be deemed to adversely affect any Member's or former
Member's rights.

     7.3 Uniform Action: Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary,
any action to amend or terminate the Plan or the Deferral Agreements must be
taken in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner. Notwithstanding the preceding,
any such action taken by the Administrator following a Change of Control is
subject to the approval of the Benefits Trust Committee.

                          ARTICLE 8. GENERAL PROVISIONS

     8.1 No Funding: Nothing contained in this Plan or in a Deferral Agreement
shall cause this Plan to be a funded retirement plan. Neither the Member, former
Member, his beneficiary, contingent beneficiaries, heirs or personal
representatives shall have any right, title or interest in or to any funds of
the Trust or the Affiliated Companies on account of this Plan or on account of
having completed a Deferral Agreement. The assets held in the Trust shall be
subject to the claims of creditors of the Corporation, and the Trust's assets
shall be used to discharge said claims in the event of the Corporation's
insolvency. Each Member or former Member shall have the status of a general
unsecured creditor of the Affiliated Companies and this Plan constitutes a mere
promise by the Affiliated Companies to make benefit payments in the future.

     8.2 Obligation: To the extent reflected by resolutions of the applicable
boards of directors, obligations for benefits under this Plan shall be joint and
several.

     8.3 No Contract of Employment: The existence of this Plan or of a Deferral
Agreement does not constitute a contract for continued employment between an
Eligible Executive or a Member and an Affiliated Company. The Affiliated
Companies reserve the right to modify an Eligible Executive's or Member's
remuneration and to terminate an Eligible Executive or a Member for any reason
and at any time, notwithstanding the existence of this Plan or of a Deferral
Agreement.

     8.4 Withholding Taxes: All payments under this Plan shall be net of an
amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding and payroll
tax requirements.

     8.5 Nonalienation: The right to receive any benefit under this Plan may not
be transferred, assigned, pledged or encumbered by a Member, former Member,
beneficiary or contingent beneficiary in any manner and any attempt to do so
shall be void. No such benefit shall be subject to garnishment, attachment or
other legal or equitable process without the prior written consent of the
Affiliated Companies. Notwithstanding the preceding, following a Change of
Control, the Administrator shall not implement such action without the consent
of the Benefits Trust Committee.

     8.6 Administration:

         (a) Prior to a Change of Control, the Administrator of the Plan shall
     be responsible for the general administration of the Plan, claims review,
     and for carrying out its provisions. Administration of the Plan shall be
     carried out consistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan.

         (b) Following a Change of Control, the Benefits Trust Committee may
     remove and/or replace the Administrator.

         (c) The Administrator shall have sole and absolute discretion to
     interpret the Plan, determine eligibility for and benefits due hereunder.
     Decisions of the Administrator regarding benefits under the Plan shall at
     all times be binding and conclusive on Members, their beneficiaries, heirs
     and assigns. Notwithstanding the preceding, following a Change of Control,
     final benefit determinations for Members, their beneficiaries, heirs and
     assigns and decisions regarding benefit claims under the Plan shall rest
     with the Benefits Trust Committee or its delegate in its sole and absolute
     discretion.

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

          (d) Prior to paying any benefit under this Plan, the Administrator may
     require the Member or former Member, beneficiary or contingent beneficiary
     to provide such information or material as the Administrator, in its sole
     discretion, shall deem necessary for it to make any determination it may be
     required to make under this Plan. The Administrator may withhold payment of
     any benefit under this Plan until it receives all such information and
     material and is reasonably satisfied of its correctness and genuineness.
     The Administrator shall provide adequate notice in writing to any Member,
     former Member, beneficiary or contingent beneficiary whose claim for
     benefits under this Plan has been denied, setting forth the specific
     reasons for such denial. A reasonable opportunity shall be afforded to any
     such Member, former Member, beneficiary or contingent beneficiary for a
     full and fair review by the Administrator of its decision denying the
     claim. The Administrator's decision on any such review shall be final and
     binding on the Member, former Member, beneficiary or contingent beneficiary
     and all other interested persons. All acts and decisions of the
     Administrator shall be final and binding upon all Members, former Members,
     beneficiaries, contingent beneficiaries and employees of the Affiliated
     Companies. Notwithstanding the preceding, following a Change of Control,
     any and all decisions by the Administrator are subject to the approval of
     the Benefits Trust Committee.

          (e) Prior to a Change of Control, the Committee in its sole discretion
     and upon such terms as it may prescribe, may permit any company or
     corporation directly or indirectly controlled by the Corporation to
     participate in the Plan. After a Change of Control, such permission must be
     approved by the Benefits Trust Committee.

     8.7  Construction:

          (a) The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded deferred
     compensation arrangement for a select group of management or highly
     compensated employees and all rights hereunder shall be governed by and
     construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia to
     the extent not preempted by federal law.

          (b) The masculine pronoun means the feminine wherever appropriate.

          (c) The captions inserted herein are inserted as a matter of
     convenience and shall not affect the construction of the Plan.

                        ARTICLE 9. EDUCATION SUB-ACCOUNTS

     9.1  Education Sub-accounts:

          (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, with
     respect to amounts deferred under Salary Deferral Agreements and Award
     Deferral Agreements effective on or after December 31, 1990, a Member may
     direct the Administrator to establish a separate sub-account in the name of
     one or more of:

              (i)  each of the Member's children,

              (ii) each of the Member's brothers, sisters, their spouses, the
                   Member's spouse, or

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

              (iii)  each of the foregoing's lineal descendants, for the payment
                     of their expenses directly or indirectly arising from
                     enrollment in a college, university, another post-secondary
                     institution of higher learning or a secondary educational
                     institution. Each sub-account established pursuant to this
                     Section 9.1(a) shall be referred to as an "Education
                     Sub-account."

          (b) The Member may instruct the Administrator to allocate all or a
     portion of any amount deferred under an Award Deferral Agreement in respect
     to an Award granted after December 31, 1990 to one or more of the Education
     Sub-accounts established pursuant to Section 9.1(a).

          (c) A Member may instruct the Administrator to allocate all or any
     portion of the amount he defers for periods commencing after December 31,
     1990 pursuant to his Salary Deferral Agreement to one or more of the
     Education Sub-accounts established pursuant to Section 9.1(a).

          (d) Any elections pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) and 9.1(b) shall be made
     in whole percentages.

          (e) No Matching Credits shall be allocated to any Education
     Sub-account.

     9.2  Distribution of Education Sub-accounts:

          (a) Amounts allocated to one or more of a Member's Education
     Sub-accounts shall be distributed to the Member upon the attainment of the
     certain age of the Member, specifically designated by the Member for this
     purpose with regard to that Sub-account.

          (b) A Member or former Member may transfer the entire amount but not
     less than that amount in any Education Sub-account to one or more other
     Education Sub-accounts, a Retirement Sub-account, or any combination
     thereof, by filing the appropriate form or forms with the Administrator not
     later than the last business day of the calendar year preceding the
     calendar year in which distribution of that Education Sub-account was to
     begin; provided, however, if such transfer accelerates the timing of the
     payment to the Member, there shall be a forfeiture of five percent (5%) of
     the Member's or former Member's Sub-account so transferred, determined as
     of the Valuation Date upon which the transfer is effective. In no event may
     a Member transfer all or any portion of the amount in a Retirement
     Sub-account to his Education Sub-accounts. Except as provided in this
     Section 9.2(b) or 9.2(c) below, a Member or former Member may not change
     the time or form of distribution of his Education Sub-accounts.

          (c) In the event that the individual for whom an Education Sub-account
     is established dies while funds remain in that Sub-account, a Member or
     former Member may transfer without penalty the entire amount but not less
     than that amount in that Sub-account in accordance with the provisions of
     (i) or (ii) below:

              (i)    to one or more existing Education Sub-accounts and/or a new
                     Education Sub-account established in accordance with the
                     provisions of Section 9.1 hereof; or

              (ii)   to a Retirement Sub-account.

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

     If a Member or former Member elects to transfer funds in accordance with
     (ii) and he has not previously established a Retirement Sub-account, such a
     Sub-account shall be established automatically and the Member or former
     Member promptly thereafter will be required to execute an amendment to his
     Deferral Agreement which shall specify the option under Section 6.1(a)
     which will entitle him to distribution of the Retirement Sub-account and
     the form of distribution under Section 6.2(a).

          (d)  A Member's or former Member's Education Sub-accounts shall be
     distributed to him, or in the event of his death to his Beneficiary, in a
     cash single sum payment as soon as administratively practicable following
     the January 1 coincident with or next following the date the Member incurs
     the distributable event or events elected under Section 9.2(a) or his date
     of death, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member or
     former Member may elect to receive distribution of one or more of his
     Education Sub-accounts in semi-annual installments over a period not to
     exceed six (6) years. Installments shall be determined as of each June 30
     and December 31 and shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable
     thereafter. Installments shall commence as of the June 30 or December 31
     coincident with or next following the date the Member incurs the
     distributable event elected under Section 9.2(a) with regard to a
     Sub-account, or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. The
     amount of each installment shall equal the balance in the applicable
     Education Sub-account as of the Valuation Date of determination, divided by
     the number of remaining installments (including the installment being
     determined). If a Member or former Member dies before payment of the entire
     balance of all of his Education Sub-accounts, the remaining balance or
     balances, as the case may be, shall be paid in a single sum to his
     Beneficiary as soon as administratively practicable following the January 1
     coincident with or next following his date of death.

     9.3  Construction: To the extent any provision in this Article 9 is
inconsistent with any other provision of this Plan, the provisions in Article 9
shall govern.
