                  contributions, other than non-safe harbor Nonelective Employer
                  Contributions, under the Plan shall be the period from such
                  Effective Date through the end of the initial year. However,

                  period ending on the last day of the initial Plan Year shall
                  be used.

            "testing compensation" for the Plan Year or (B) as a flat dollar
            amount.

            (1)   [ ]    Qualified Nonelective Employer Contributions shall be
                         allocated to Participants as a percentage of the lowest

                  Employer Contribution Addendum is intended to satisfy the safe
                  harbor contribution requirements under the Code such that the

                  percentage of each eligible Active Participant's Compensation
                  in excess of the "integration level" as defined below. The
                  percentage of Compensation in excess of the "integration
                  level" shall be equal to the lesser of the percentage of the

PLAN NAME: Compass Minerals International, Inc. Savings Plan

(a)   SAFE HARBOR MATCHING EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION FORMULA

      NOTE: Matching Employer Contributions made under this Option must be 100%
      vested when made and may only be distributed because of death, disability,
      separation from service, age 59 1/2, or termination of the Plan without
      the establishment of a successor plan. In addition, each Plan Year, the
      Employer must provide written notice to all Active Participants of their
      rights and obligations under the Plan.

      (1)   [ ]   100% of the first 3% of the Active Participant's Compensation
                  contributed to the Plan and 50% of the next 2% of the Active
                  Participant's Compensation contributed to the Plan.

            (A)   [ ]   Safe harbor Matching Employer Contributions shall not be
                        made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees.

            NOTE: If the Employer selects this formula and does not elect Option
            1.10(b), Additional Matching Employer Contributions, Matching
            Employer Contributions will automatically meet the safe harbor
            contribution requirements for deemed satisfaction of the "ACP" test.
            (Employee Contributions must still be tested.)

      (2)   [X]   Other Enhanced Match:

            100.00% of the first 3% of the Active Participant's Compensation
            contributed to the Plan

50.00% of the next 3% of the Active Participant's Compensation contributed to
the Plan

            NOTE: To satisfy the safe harbor contribution requirement for the
            "ADP" test, the percentages specified above for Matching Employer
            Contributions may not increase as the percentage of Compensation
            contributed increases, and the aggregate amount of Matching Employer
            Contributions at such rates must at least equal the aggregate amount
            of Matching Employer Contributions which would be made under the
            percentages described in (a)(1) of this Addendum.

            (A)   [ ]   Safe harbor Matching Employer Contributions shall not be
                        made on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees.

            (B)   [ ]   The formula specified above is also intended to satisfy
                        the safe harbor contribution requirement for deemed
                        satisfaction of the "ACP" test with respect to Matching
                        Employer Contributions. (Employee Contributions must
                        still be tested.)

                  NOTE: To satisfy the safe harbor contribution requirement for
                  the "ACP" test, the Deferral Contributions and/or Employee
                  Contributions matched cannot exceed 6% of a Participant's
                  Compensation.

    RE: ECONOMIC GROWTH AND TAX RELIEF RECONCILIATION ACT OF 2001 ("EGTRRA")
                                 AMENDMENTS FOR

PLAN NAME: COMPASS MINERALS INTERNATIONAL, INC. SAVINGS PLAN

PREAMBLE

ADOPTION AND EFFECTIVE DATE OF AMENDMENT. This amendment of the Plan is adopted
to reflect certain provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief
Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA"). This amendment is intended as good faith
compliance with the requirements of EGTRRA and is to be construed in accordance
with EGTRRA and guidance issued thereunder. Except as otherwise provided below,
this amendment shall be effective as of the first day of the first plan year
beginning after December 31,2001.

SUPERSESSION OF INCONSISTENT PROVISIONS. This amendment shall supersede the
provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with the
provisions of this amendment.

(a)   CATCH-UP CONTRIBUTIONS. The Employer must select either (1) or (2) below
      to indicate whether eligible Participants age 50 or older by the end of a
      calendar year will be permitted to make catch-up contributions to the
      Plan, as described in Section 5.03(b)(1):

      (1)   [X] Catch-up contributions shall apply effective January 1, 2002,
            unless a later effective date is specified herein, 01/09/2004.

      (2)   [ ] Catch-up contributions shall not apply.

      NOTE: The Employer must NOT select (a)(1) above unless all plans of all
      employers treated, with the Employer, as a single employer under
      subsections (b), (c), (m), or (o) of Code Section 414 also permit catch up
      contributions (except a plan maintained by the Employer that is qualified
      under Puerto Rico law), as provided in Code Section 414(v)(4) and IRS
      guidance issued thereunder. The effective date applicable to catch-up
      contributions must likewise be consistent among all plans described
      immediately above, to the extent required in Code Section 414(v)(4) and
      IRS guidance issued thereunder.

(b)   PLAN LIMIT ON ELECTIVE DEFERRAL FOR PLANS PERMITTING CATCH-UP
      CONTRIBUTIONS. This Section (b) is inapplicable if the Plan converted to
      this Fidelity document from any other document effective after April 1,
      2002.

      For Plans that permit catch-up contributions beginning on or before April
      1,2002, pursuant to (a)(1) above, the 60% Plan Limit described in Section
      5.03(b)(2) shall apply beginning April 1, 2002, unless (b)(1) or (b)(2) is
      selected below. For Plans that permit catch up contributions beginning
      after April 1, 2002, pursuant to (a)(1) above, the Plan Limit set out in
      Section 1.07(a)(1) shall continue to apply unless and until the Employer's
      election in (b)(2) below, if any, provides for a change in the Plan Limit.

      (1)   [ ]   The Plan Limit set out in Section 1.07(a)(1) shall continue
                  to apply on and after April 1,2002.

      (2)   [ ]   The Plan Limit set out in Section 1.07(a)(1) shall continue
                  to apply until_______________(cannot be before April 1, 2002),
                  and the Plan Limit after that date shall be__% of Compensation
                  each payroll period.

(c)   MATCHING EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS ON CATCH-UP CONTRIBUTIONS. The Employer
      must select the box below only if the Employer selected (a)(1) above, and
      the Employer wants to provide Matching Employer Contributions on catch-up
      contributions. In that event, the same rules that apply to Matching
      Employer Contributions on Deferral Contributions other

      than catch-up contributions will apply to Matching Employer Contributions
      on catch-up contributions.

      [ ]   Notwithstanding anything in 2.01(1) to the contrary, Matching
            Employer Contributions under Section 1.10 shall apply to catch-up
            contributions described in Section 5.03(b)(1).

(d)   VESTING OF MATCHING EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. Complete this section (d) only
      if the vesting schedule for Matching Employer Contributions under the Plan
      must be amended to comply with EGTRRA. This is the case if, in the absence
      of an amendment, the vesting schedule for Matching Employer Contributions
      would not be at least as rapid as Three-Year Cliff or Six-Year Graded
      Vesting, effective for Participants with at least one Hour of Service on
      or after the first Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2001, subject to
      the rule described in (2) below. Complete (d)(1) to specify the new
      vesting schedule; any vesting schedule changes must conform to the
      requirements of Section 16.04 of the Plan. Only complete (d)(2) if your
      Plan is maintained pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement ratified
      by June 7, 2001. Complete (d)(3) if the Employer wants to apply the
      vesting schedule selected in (d)(1) to only the portion of a Participant's
      accrued benefits derived from Matching Employer Contributions for Plan
      Years beginning after December 31, 2001.

      (1)   VESTING SCHEDULE FOR MATCHING EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. Unless the
            Employer checks the box in (d)(3) of this EGTRRA Amendments
            Addendum, the Vesting Schedule set forth below shall apply to all
            accrued benefits derived from Matching Employer Contributions for
            Participants who complete an Hour of Service under the Plan in a
            Plan Year beginning after December 31,2001, regardless of the Plan
            Year for which such contributions are made, subject to the
            Employer's election of a later effective date as indicated in (d)(2)
            below:

            [ ]   100% Vesting immediately

            [ ]   3-Year Cliff (see C below)

            [ ]   6-Year Graded (see E below)

      (2)   DELAYED EFFECTIVE DATE FOR PLANS SUBJECT TO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.
            If the plan is maintained pursuant to one or more collective
            bargaining agreements ratified by June 7, 2001, the effective date
            for faster vesting of Matching Employer Contributions for
            Participants covered by such a collective bargaining agreement can
            be delayed by checking the box below and inserting the effective
            date, which is the first day of the first Plan Year beginning on or
            after the earlier of (i) January 1, 2006, or (ii) the later of the
            date on which the last of the collective bargaining agreements
            described above terminates (without regard to any extension on or
            after June 7, 2001), or January 1, 2002.

            [ ]   The vesting schedule elected by the Employer in (d)(1) above
                  shall apply to those Participants covered by a collective
                  bargaining agreement(s) ratified by June 7, 2001, who have at
                  least one Hour of Service on or after ____________________.

                  described in (d)(1) and, where applicable,(d)(3).

      (3)   GRANDFATHERED APPLICATION OF PRIOR VESTING SCHEDULE. The Employer
            must check the box below only if the Employer wants to grandfather
            an existing vesting schedule and apply the vesting schedule that the
            Employer selected in (d)(1) above to only that portion of a
            Participant's accrued benefit derived from Matching Employer
            Contributions for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2001,
            (and/or for Plan Years beginning on or after the date specified in

      15.   Section 5.02 COMPENSATION TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN DETERMINING
CONTRIBUTIONS of Basic Plan Document No. 02 is amended in its entirety to read
as follows:

            COMPENSATION TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN DETERMINING CONTRIBUTIONS. In
            determining the amount or allocation of any contribution that is
            based on a percentage or amount of Compensation, only Compensation
            paid to a Participant for services rendered to the Employer or a
            Participating Employer while employed as an Eligible Employee shall
            be taken into account. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
            this Article 5, for purposes of determining the amount and
            allocation of contributions under this Article 5, Compensation means
            wages within the meaning of Code Section 3401(a) and all other
            payments of compensation that are actually paid or made available in
            gross income during the Plan Year to an Employee by the Employer (in
            the course of the Employer's trade or business) for which the
            Employer is required to furnish the Employee a written statement
            (Form W02) under Code Section 6041(d), Section 6051(a)(3) and
            Section 6052 excluding reimbursements or other expense allowances,
            fringe benefits (cash or non-cash), moving expenses, deferred
            compensation (other than deferrals referenced below), welfare
            benefits and Compensation paid during the determination period while
            not a Participant in the component of the Plan for which the
            definition is being used. Compensation must be determined without
            regard to any rules under Code Section 3401(a) that limit the
            remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of
            the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for
            agricultural labor in Code Section 3401(a)(2). Compensation will
            include amounts not currently includable in gross income by reason
            of Code Section 125, Section 132(f)(4), Section 402(e)(3), Section
            402(h), Section 457(b) or Section 403(b). Compensation for Plan
            purposes will not exceed the lesser of $200,000 or the adjusted
            limit under Code Section 401(a)(17). A cost of living adjustment in
            effect for a calendar year applies to any period not exceeding 12
            months over which Compensation is determined (determination period)
            beginning in such calendar year. If a determination period is less
            than 12 months, the dollar limitation will be multiplied by a
            fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the
            determination period, and the denominator of which is 12.
            Compensation of an Owner-Employee or a Self-Employed Individual will
            equal Earned Income up to the above limitation.

      16.   Section 5.08 MATCHING EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS of Basic Plan Document
No. 02 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

            The Employer may make a discretionary Matching Employer Contribution
            to the Trust in accordance with Section 1.10(a)(2) of the Adoption
            Agreement or a Safe Harbor Matching Employer Contribution in
            accordance with Section 1.10(a)(3) of the Adoption Agreement on
            behalf of different groups of eligible Active Participants, as
            determined by the Employer. Any Matching Employer Contribution may
            be allocated among eligible Active Participants in each group in an
            amount to be determined by the Employer with respect to each group.

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>

            Any Matching Employer Contributions that are allocated in different
            amounts to different Employee groups shall be determined using a
            cross-tested formula that satisfies the gateway requirements of
            Treasury Regulation 1.401(a)(4)-8(b).

      17.   The first paragraph of Section 5.10 NONELECTIVE EMPLOYER
CONTRIBUTIONS of Basic Plan Document No. 02 is amended in its entirety to read
as follows:

            The Employer may make a discretionary Nonelective Employer
            Contributions to the Trust in accordance with Section 1.11(b) of the
            Adoption Agreement on behalf of different groups of eligible Active
            Participants, as determined by the Employer. Any Nonelective
            Employer Contribution may be allocated among eligible Active
            Participants in each group in an amount to be determined by the
            Employer with respect to each group. Any Nonelective Employer
            Contribution shall be determined using a cross-tested formula that
            satisfies the gateway requirements of Treasury Regulation
            1.401(a)(4)-8(b).

            Notwithstanding Section 1.11(b)(1) of the Adoption Agreement, the
            contribution formula for a Plan Year may be an integrated formula or
            a non-integrated formula, as determined by the Employer, provided
            that the formula meets all nondiscrimination requirements of
            Internal Revenue Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410(b) and any other
            applicable nondiscrimination requirements. If a non-integrated
            formula is elected, such contribution shall be allocated among
            eligible Active Participants in a group in accordance with Section
            5.10(b)(1) of Basic Plan Document No. 02. If an integrated formula
            is elected for a Plan Year, such contribution shall be allocated
            among eligible Active Participants in a group in accordance with
            Section 5.10(b)(2) of Basic Plan Document No. 02.

      18.   Section (a) of the ADDENDUM TO ADOPTION AGREEMENT FIDELITY BASIC
PLAN DOCUMENT NO. 02 RE: ECONOMIC GROWTH AND TAX RELIEF RECONCILIATION ACT OF
2001 ("EGTRRA"), shall be amended by adding the following to the end thereof:

            Catch-up contributions shall not apply to Participants who are
            covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
