                         LEVI STRAUSS ASSOCIATES INC.
                         ----------------------------

               DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR OUTSIDE DIRECTORS
               ------------------------------------------------

      (As adopted January 17, 1977 and as amended through July 19, 1988)

1.   Effective Date
     --------------

     The Levi Strauss Associates Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside
     Directors (hereinafter the "Plan") became effective upon approval by the
     Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Levi Strauss & Co. on
     January 17, 1977 and amended and restated most recently on July 19, 1988 by
     the delegate of the Board of Directors of Levi Strauss Associates Inc. (the
     "Company").

2.   Eligibility
     -----------

     The persons eligible to participate in this Plan shall be those members of
     the Board of Directors of the Company who are not otherwise employed by the
     Company as an executive or in any other capacity. These persons are
     generally referred to by the Company as "outside directors".

3.   Definitions of Compensation and LTPP Payment
     --------------------------------------------

     For all purposes under the Plan, "total compensation" shall mean all fees
     or other compensation for services as an outside director of the Company,
     but shall not include any LTPP Payment and further shall not include any
     payments under or contributions to any group insurance or other benefit
     plan maintained by the company or any reimbursement for expenses.  For all
     purposes under the Plan, "LTPP Payment" shall mean any payment under the
     Levi Strauss Associates Inc. Long-Term Performance Plan.

4.   Election to Defer Compensation
     ------------------------------

     Any person eligible to participate in this Plan may elect that a portion or
     all of this total compensation for a calendar year shall be payable only as
     Deferred Compensation under the Plan.  Such election shall be made in
     writing to the Corporate Secretary at least two (2) weeks prior to the'
     commencement of such calendar year.

     In addition, an eligible outside director may make an election during the
     first year of service as a director of the Company.  Such election under
     the Plan shall be made in writing to the Corporate Secretary on the date of
     election to the Board of Directors of the
<PAGE>

     Company. In no case, however, shall such election under the plan be
     permitted after December 15, of any calendar year. An election for a given
     year shall be irrevocable.

5.   Election to Defer LTPP Payment
     ------------------------------

     Any person eligible to participate in the Plan may elect that a portion or
     all of any LTPP Payment shall be payable as Deferred Compensation under the
     Plan; provided, however, that the minimum amount that may be deferred is
     the greater of $5,000 or five percent (5$) of each LTPP Payment than
     payable.  Deferral elections shall be made at the same time and in the same
     manner as elections to defer LTPP Payments are made under Article 5 of the
     Levi Strauss Associates Inc. Long-Term Performance Plan.

6.   Interest Credit
     ---------------

     Beginning on January 1, 1982, interest shall be computed monthly as of the
     last day of each calendar month on the undistributed balance of each
     eligible outside director's Deferred Compensation at the end of such
     calendar month.  Such interest shall be computed at a monthly interest rate
     equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual interest rate charged for
     commercial loans to most creditworthy customers, as most recently announced
     by Bank of America in San Francisco, California, effective as of the last
     day of the calendar month on which such interest is computed; except that
     for any calendar year beginning prior to January 1, 1982, interest shall be
     credited in accordance with the procedures specified in the Plan as then in
     effect.  Such interest shall be credited to the account of each outside
     director on the books of the Company as of December 31 of such calendar
     year.

7.   Payment of Deferred Compensation
     --------------------------------

     All Deferred Compensation under the Plan (including interest credited under
     Section 6) shall be payable as follows:

a.   Outside director ceases to be a director of the Company or retires from
     -----------------------------------------------------------------------
     principal occupation
     --------------------

     At the time that an outside director notifies the Corporate Secretary of
     his election to defer compensation, he shall specify that payment of the
     Deferred Compensation shall commence (1) when the outside director ceases
     to be a director of the Company, (2) when the outside director retires from
     his or her principal occupation, or (3) the later of (1) or (2). The amount
     of the outside director's Deferred Compensation shall be paid to him over a
     five (5) year period in sixty (60) ratable monthly installments commencing
     on the first day of the calendar month following the date selected above.
     An eligible outside director may, however, at the time that he notifies the
     Corporate Secretary of his election
<PAGE>

     to have all or a portion of his total compensation for a given calendar
     year payable as Deferred Compensation under the Plan:

     (i)  specify a longer period, not to exceed ten (10) years, over which his
          Deferred Compensation for such year shall be paid for him, or

     (ii) specify the payment shall be in the form of a lump sum.

     Notwithstanding the outside director's election, all payments of Deferred
     Compensation must be completed prior to ten years after the outside
     director reaches or would have reached age 70 1/2.

b.   Termination of Service by Death
     -------------------------------

     In the event that the eligible outside director's service is terminated by
     death, or in the event of an eligible outside director's death after
     termination of services, the unpaid balance of his Deferred Compensation
     shall be paid in a lump sum to his Beneficiary within thirty (30) days
     after his death; except that at the time an eligible outside director
     notifies the Corporate Secretary of his election to have all or a portion
     of his total compensation for a given calendar year payable as Deferred
     Compensation under the Plan, such eligible outside director may elect that
     such unpaid balance be paid in a lump sum at a designated time within the
     five (5) year period following death of the eligible outside director or in
     ratable monthly installments over a five (5) year period or a specified
     longer period not to exceed ten (l0) years.

     Notwithstanding the outside director's election, all payments of Deferred
     Compensation must be completed prior to ten years after the outside
     director would-have reached age 70 1/2.

c.   Hardship
     --------

     Upon a showing of financial hardship, the Personnel Committee of the Board
     of Directors may, in its sole discretion, direct the Company to pay to an
     eligible outside director (or, in the event of death, to an eligible
     outside director's Beneficiary) in one lump sum, a portion, or all of the
     unpaid balance of such eligible outside director's Deferred Compensation to
     the extent necessary to alleviate the hardship. A hardship is an emergency
     beyond the control of the eligible outside director and his Beneficiary.
<PAGE>

d.   Acceleration of Payments
     ------------------------

     An outside director who is no longer a outside director or, in the case of
     the death of an outside director prior to the commencement of payment of
     Deferred Compensation for any year, the outside director's Beneficiary, may
     file a petition to accelerate payment of Deferred Compensation.  The
     Outside Director appointed by the Personnel Committee of the Board of
     Directors of the Company pursuant to Section 6(d) of the Levi Strauss
     Associates Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives shall consider
     and act upon such petitions and the Outside Director shall have the sole
     discretion to approve or disapprove such petitions. In the petition, the
     outside director or Beneficiary, as the case may be, shall with respect to
     the Deferred Compensation specify (1) a date for lump sum payment or (2) a
     period to receive payments which is not later or longer than the date for
     lump sum payment or period to commence specified in the election pursuant
     to Section 6(a) or 7(b).

e.   Payment of LTPP Payment Over Five Years
     ---------------------------------------

     In lieu of the provisions for payment of Deferred Compensation set forth
     Subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) above, the outside director may elect
     payment of his LTPP Payment to be made as follows: Twenty percent (20%) of
     the LTPP Payment to be paid as soon as practical after the amounts have
     been determined by the awarding company; thereafter in ratable annual
     installments in July of each of the following four years.

8.   Source of Payment
     -----------------

     All payments of Deferred Compensation hereunder shall be paid in cash from
     the general funds of the company, and no special or separate fund shall be
     established or other segregation of assets made to assure such payments;
     provided, however, that the Company may establish a bookkeeping reserve to
     meet its obligations hereunder. Nothing contained in the Plan and no action
     taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall, create, or be construed
     to create, a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the
     Company or the Corporate Secretary and any outside director or other
     person.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments
     from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the
     right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

9.   Designation of Beneficiaries
     ----------------------------

     Each eligible outside director shall file with the Corporate Secretary a
     written designation of one or more persons as the Beneficiary who shall be
     entitled to receive the amount of compensation, if any, payable under the
     Plan upon his death. An eligible outside director may from time to time
     revoke or change his Beneficiary designation without the consent of
<PAGE>

     any prior Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Corporate
     Secretary. 'the last such designation received by the Corporate Secretary
     shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation or change or
     revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the corporate
     Secretary prior to the eligible outside director's death, and in no event
     shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt.

     If no such Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of an eligible
     outside director's death, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the
     eligible outside director, or if such designation conflicts with law, the
     eligible outside director's estate shall be the Beneficiary entitled to
     receive the amount. The Corporate Secretary may direct the Company to
     retain such amount, without liability for any interest thereon, until the
     rights thereto are determined, or he may direct the Company to pay such
     amount into any court of appropriate jurisdiction and such payment shall be
     a complete discharge of the liability of the Plan and the Company therefor.

10.  Administration of Plan
     ----------------------

     The Plan, except for Sections 7(c) and 7(d), shall be administered by the
     Corporate Secretary who shall have full power, discretion and authority to
     interpret, construe and administer the Plan and any part thereof. The
     Corporate Secretary's interpretations and constructions of the Plan and
     actions thereunder shall, except as otherwise determined by the Board of
     Directors of the Company or the Personnel Committee thereof, be binding and
     conclusive on all persons for all purposes.

11.  Amendment
     ---------

     The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated, in whole or in part, by
     the Board of Directors of the Company or the Personnel Committee thereof,
     or the delegate of either, but no such action shall retroactively impair or
     otherwise adversely affect the rights of any person to payment of Deferred
     Compensation under the Plan which has accrued prior to the date of such
     action, as determined by the Corporate Secretary.

12.  General Provisions
     ------------------

     The right of any eligible outside director or other person to the payment
     of Deferred Compensation under the Plan may not be assigned, transferred,
     pledged or encumbered, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except as
     provided in Section 9 above with respect to designations of Beneficiaries
     hereunder or as may otherwise be required by law. If any person shall
     attempt to, or shall, assign, transfer, pledge or encumber any amount
     payable hereunder, or if by reason of his bankruptcy or other event
     happening at any time any such payment would be made subject to his debts
     or liabilities or would otherwise devolve upon anyone else and not be
     enjoyed by him or his Beneficiary, the
<PAGE>

     Corporate Secretary may, in his sole discretion, terminate such persons
     interest in any such payment and direct that the same be held and applied
     to, or for the benefit of such person, his spouse, children or other
     dependents, or any other persons deemed to be the natural objects of his
     bounty, or any of them, in such manner as the Corporate Secretary may deem
     proper.

     If the Corporate Secretary shall find that any person to whom any payment
     is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of
     illness or accident, or is a minor, then any payment due .(unless a prior
     claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian, committee
     or other legal representative) may be paid to his spouse, a child, a
     parent, or a brother or sister, or any other-person deemed by the Corporate
     Secretary to have incurred expenses for such person otherwise entitled to
     payment, in such manner and proportions as the Corporate secretary may
     determine. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the
     liabilities of the Company under the Plan.

     Each eligible outside director shall file with the Corporate Secretary such
     pertinent information concerning himself and his Beneficiary as the
     Corporate Secretary may specify, and no eligible outside director or
     Beneficiary or other person shall have any rights or be entitled to any
     benefits under the Plan unless-such information is filed by or with respect
     to him.

     All elections, designations, requests, notices, instructions, and other
     communications from an eligible outside director, Beneficiary or other
     person to the Corporate Secretary required or permitted under the Plan
     shall be in such form as is prescribed from time to time by the Corporate
     Secretary, shall be mailed by first class mail or delivered to such
     location as shall be specified by the.- Corporate Secretary and shall be
     deemed to have been given and delivered only upon actual receipt thereof by
     the Corporate Secretary at such location.

     All notices, statements, reports and other communications from the
     Corporate Secretary to any eligible outside director, Beneficiary or other
     person required or permitted under the Plan shall be deemed to have been
     duly given when delivered to, or when mailed by first-class mail, postage
     prepaid and addressed to, such eligible outside director, Beneficiary or
     other person at his address last appearing on the records of the Company.

     Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as
     giving to any outside director the right to be retained as a director of
     the Company.

     The captions preceding the Sections hereof have been inserted solely as a
     matter of convenience and in no way define or limit the scope or intent of
     any provisions hereof.

     The Plan and all rights thereunder shall be governed by and construed in
     accordance with the laws of the State of California.

                                      FOR
                               OUTSIDE DIRECTORS
                               __________________

                                  AMENDMENTS

     WHEREAS, Levi Strauss Associates Inc. (the "Company") has established the
Levi Strauss Associates Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors
(the "Plan");

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan in order to provide outside
directors of the Company with alternative measurements for growth of Deferred
Compensation under the Plan;

     WHEREAS, by resolutions duly adopted on June 18, 1992, the Board of
Directors of the Company authorized Robert D. Haas, Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer, to adopt certain amendments to the employee benefit
plans of the Company and to delegate to any other officer of the Company the
authority to adopt certain amendments to such plans (the "Delegation"); and

     WHEREAS, on June 1, 1993, pursuant to the Delegation, Robert D. Haas
delegated to Donna J. Goya, Senior Vice President, the authority to amend the
employee benefit plans of the Company subject to specified limits, and such
delegation has not been amended, rescinded or superseded as of the date hereof;

     NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of the date hereof, the Company amends Article
6 of the Plan in its entirety to read as set forth below:

          6.   Addition Credits With Respect to Deferred Compensation
               ------------------------------------------------------

               a.   In General
                    ----------

                    The Deferred Compensation of an eligible outside director
                    shall be credited with increases and, as appropriate,
                    decreases to reflect the performance of the measurement
                    standard offered by the Company pursuant to this Article 6
                    and selected by the eligible outside director. If with
                    respect to all or a portion an eligible outside director's
                    Deferred Compensation, such outside director fails to elect
                    a measurement standard or if a measurement standard becomes
                    unavailable under the Plan without an effective successor
                    election by the eligible outside director, such Deferred
                    Compensation shall receive credits pursuant to Article
                    6(b)(i) below.
<PAGE>

              b(i)  Interest Measurement Standard
                    -----------------------------

                    With respect to amounts of Deferred Compensation for which
                    the interest measurement standard is applicable, interest
                    shall be computed monthly as of the last day of each
                    calendar month on the undistributed balance of each eligible
                    outside director's Deferred Compensation at the end of such
                    calendar month. Such interest shall be computed at a monthly
                    interest rate equal to one-twelfth (1/ 12) of the annual
                    interest rate charged for commercial loans to most
                    creditworthy customers, as most recently announced by Bank
                    of America in San Francisco, California, effective as of the
                    last day of the calendar month on which such interest is
                    computed; except that for any calendar year beginning prior
                    to January 1, 1982, interest shall be credited in accordance
                    with the procedures specified in the Plan as then in effect.
                    Such interest shall be credited to the account of each
                    outside director on the books of the Company as of December
                    31 of such calendar year.

              (ii)  Alternative Measurement Standard
                    --------------------------------

                    The Company may from time to time offer one or more
                    measurement standards in addition to the standard described
                    in Article 6(b)(i) above. Such alternative measurement
                    standards offered by the Company may include standards which
                    have different potential for risk and return and could
                    result in reductions in value of the Deferred Compensation
                    of an Outside Director who elects such standards. The
                    availability of any such alternative measurement standard,
                    and the terms applicable to such standard (including, but
                    not limited to, the method and frequency with which
                    increases or decreases are reflected in the amount of
                    Deferred Compensation) are solely in the discretion of the
                    Company.

              (iii) Election of Standard
                    --------------------

                    The Administrator, in its discretion, shall prescribe
                    procedures for election of measurement standards and changes
                    in measurement standards applicable to Deferred
                    Compensation.

                          LEVI STRAUSS ASSOCIATES INC.
                     SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS RESTORATION PLAN

                                   AMENDMENTS

     WHEREAS, Levi Strauss Associates Inc. (the "Company") has established the
Levi Strauss Associates Inc. Excess Benefit Restoration Plan and the Levi
Strauss Associates Inc. Supplemental Benefit Restoration Plan (individually, the
"Excess BRP" and the "Supplemental BRP", respectively, collectively, the
"BRPs");

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the BRPs in order to assist certain
persons associated with the Company in avoiding transactions which could result
in liability under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended;

     WHEREAS, by resolutions duly adopted on June 22, 1989 and June 18, 1992,
the Board of Directors of the Company authorized Robert D. Haas, Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer, to adopt certain amendments to the employee
benefit plans of the Company and to delegate to any other officer of the Company
the authority to adopt certain amendments to such plans (the "Delegation"); and

     WHEREAS, on October 20, 1989, pursuant to the Delegation, Robert D. Haas
delegated to Donna J. Goya, Senior Vice President, the authority to amend the
employee benefit plans of the Company subject to specified limits, and such
delegation has not been amended, rescinded or superseded as of the date hereof;

     NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of the date hereof, the Company amends the
BRPs as set forth below:

     1.   Section 4 of the Excess BRP is amended by the addition of a new
subsection (c), to read as set forth below:

          (c)  Any contrary provision of the Plan notwithstanding, to the extent
          that any portion of the benefit hereunder of an Eligible Employee who
          is an Insider is attributable to amounts deemed to have been invested
          in the Stock Fund pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3(b),
          such portion shall not be payable prior to the earlier of the
          termination of employment, death, retirement or disability of such
          Eligible Employee. For purposes of this Section 4(c), (i) the term
          "Insider" shall mean an Eligible Employee who is subject to Section
          16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (ii) the
          phrases or terms "termination of employment", "retirement" and
          "disability" shall have the meaning that such phrases or

                                       1

     2.   Section 4 of the Supplemental BRP is amended by the addition of a new
subsection (c), to read as set forth below:

          (c)  Any contrary provision of the Plan notwithstanding, to the extent
          that any portion of the benefit hereunder of an Eligible Employee who
          is an Insider is attributable to amounts deemed to have been invested
          in the Stock Fund pursuant to Section 3(c)(2), such portion shall not
          be payable prior to the earlier of the termination of employment,
          death, retirement or disability of such Eligible Employee.  For
          purposes of this Section 4(c), (i) the term "Insider" shall mean an

          Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (ii) the phrases or terms
          "termination of employment", "retirement" and "disability" shall have
          the meaning that such phrases or terms, or the equivalent phrases or
          terms, have under the Qualified Plan which maintains such Stock Fund.

     WHEREAS, Levi Strauss Associates Inc. (the "Company") has established the
Levi Strauss Associates Inc. Excess Benefit Restoration Plan and the Levi
Strauss Associates Inc. Supplemental Benefit Restoration Plan (individually, the
"Excess BRP" and the "Supplemental BRP," respectively, collectively, the
"BRPs");

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the BRPs to provide for an orderly
and systematic division of interests under the BRPs pursuant to an appropriate
domestic relations order;

     WHEREAS, by resolutions duly adopted on June 18, 1992, the Board of
Directors of the Company authorized Robert D. Haas, Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer, to adopt certain amendments to the employee benefit
plans of the Company and to delegate to any other officer of the Company the
authority to adopt certain amendments to such plans (the "Delegation"); and

     WHEREAS, on June 1, 1993, pursuant to the Delegation, Robert D. Haas
delegated to Donna J. Goya, Senior Vice President, the authority to amend the
employee benefit plans of the Company subject to specified limits, and such
delegation has not been amended, rescinded or superseded as of the date hereof;

     NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of the date hereof, the Company amends the
BRPs as set forth below:

     1.   The Excess BRP is amended by the addition of a new Section 10 to read
as set forth below:

                                   Section 10

          Alienation in Response to Qualified Domestic Relations Order
          ------------------------------------------------------------

               Any other provision of this Plan notwithstanding, an Eligible
          Employee's benefit under the Plan shall be payable to any "alternate
          payee," as such person is defined in section 414(p)(8) of the Code, as
          provided in a domestic relations order with respect to the Plan which
          would constitute a qualified domestic relations order within the
          meaning of section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if the Plan were subject
          to section

                                       3
<PAGE>

          414(p) of the Code. Determinations under this Section 10, including
          but not limited to determination of whether an order would constitute
          a qualified domestic relations order, shall be made by the Committee,
          or its designee, in its sole discretion. The rights of any alternate
          payee hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Plan as
          administered with respect to alternate payees, and the Committee may
          require an alternate payee to acknowledge that his or her rights are

               Any other provision of this plan notwithstanding, an Eligible
          Employee's benefit under the Plan shall be payable to any "alternate
          payee," as such person is defined in section 414(p)(8) of the Code, as
          provided in a domestic relations order with respect to the Plan which
          would constitute a qualified domestic relations order within the
          meaning of section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if the Plan were subject
          to section 414(p) of the Code.  Determinations under this Section 10,
          including but not limited to determination of whether an order would
          constitute a qualified domestic relations order, shall be made by the
          Committee, or its designee, in its sole discretion.  The rights of any
          alternate payee hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Plan as
          administered with respect to alternate payees, and the Committee may
          require an alternate payee to acknowledge that his or her rights are

                     SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT RESTORATION PLAN

                                   AMENDMENTS

     WHEREAS, Levi Strauss Associates Inc. (the "Company") has established the
Levi Strauss Associates Inc. Excess Benefit Restoration Plan and the Levi
Strauss Associates Inc. Supplemental Benefit Restoration Plan (individually, the
"Excess BRP" and the "Supplemental BRP", respectively, collectively, the
"BRPs");

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the BRPs to permit the expansion of
options for crediting certain bookkeeping accounts maintained under the BRPs;

     WHEREAS, by resolutions duly adopted on June 18, 1992, the Board of
Directors of the Company authorized Robert D. Haas, Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer, to adopt certain amendments to the employee benefit
plans of the Company and to delegate to any other officer of the Company the
authority to adopt certain amendments to such plans (the "Delegation"); and

     WHEREAS, on June 1, 1993, pursuant to the Delegation, Robert D. Haas
delegated to Donna J. Goya, Senior Vice President, the authority to amend the
employee benefit plans of the Company subject to specified limits, and such
delegation has not been amended, rescinded or superseded as of the date hereof,

     NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of the date hereof, the Company amends the
BRPs as set forth below:

     1.   Section 3(b) of the Excess BRP is amended in its entirety to read as
set forth below:

          (b) The difference between the aggregate amount of contributions which
     would have been allocated for plan years beginning before November 26, 1990
     in respect of the Eligible Employee under the Qualified Plans that are
     defined contribution plans without regard to the Benefit Limitation and the
     aggregate amount of contributions actually allocated in respect of such
     Eligible Employee thereunder, adjusted to reflect the performance of any
     measurement standard selected pursuant to Section 3(d) ("performance
     adjustments"); provided, however, that to the extent that such amount would
     have consisted of pre-tax or post-tax employee contributions, such amount
     will be credited hereunder only to the extent that the Eligible Employee
     executes a salary

                                       5
<PAGE>

     reduction agreement in a form suitable to the Committee. For purposes of
     determining performance adjustments hereunder, amounts payable pursuant to
     this Section 3(b) shall be deemed to be subject to the applicable
     performance standard as of the date such amounts would have been allocated
     under the Qualified Plan if not for the Benefit Limitation.

     At any time that participants under a Qualified Plan invest amounts
     contributed on their behalf to such Plan in a fund which invests primarily
     in the common stock of the Company (the "Stock Fund"), the Eligible
     Employee shall be permitted to elect whether any portion of the amount
     described in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be
     invested in the Stock Fund, provided that such amount would have been
     available for investment in the Stock Fund at such time if not for the
     Benefit Limitation. If the Eligible Employee elects to have such amount
     deemed to be invested in the Stock Fund, the Eligible Employee's benefit
     under this Section 3(b) shall include (i) an amount equal to any employer
     matching contribution which would have been made to the Qualified Plan had
     such investment been made in the Stock Fund, and (ii) in lieu of
     performance adjustments as described in the immediately preceding
     paragraph, gains or losses in respect of the deemed contributions to the
     Stock Fund to reflect the gains or losses in the Stock Fund during the same
     period. In addition, any amounts credited to an Eligible Employee pursuant
     to the first paragraph of this Section 3(b) with respect to Nonelective
     Contributions which, by reason of the Benefit Limitation, could not be made
     to a Qualified Plan shall be deemed to be invested in the Stock Fund as of
     the next purchase of common stock of the Company by the Stock Fund which
     occurs after such amounts are credited under this Plan, and, thereafter,
     such amounts shall, in lieu of performance adjustments, reflect gains and
     losses in the manner prescribed in clause "(ii)" of the immediately
     preceding sentence. The election permitted under this paragraph generally
     shall be subject to the same limitations as are applicable to similar
     elections under the relevant Qualified Plan, except as provided otherwise
     by the Committee.

     2.   Section 3 of the Excess BRP is amended by the addition of a new
subsection (d), to read as set forth below:

          (d)(1)  Performance adjustments effected with respect to Plan benefits
     described in Section 3(b) above shall be determined pursuant to paragraph 2
     below, except to the extent that the Committee offers, and the Eligible
     Employee elects, alternative measurement standards pursuant to paragraph 3
     below.

          (2)  The performance adjustment pursuant to this paragraph 2 shall be
     interest, computed monthly, at a rate determined by the Committee to be
     equivalent to the reference rate charged for commercial loans by the Bank
     of America N.T. & S.A. on the last day of each such month.

                                       6
<PAGE>

          (3)  The Committee may, but is not required to, offer one or more
     measurement standards in addition to the standard described in paragraph 2.
     Such alternative measurement standards offered by the Committee may include
     standards which have different potential for risk and return and could
     result in  reductions in value of the Plan benefits of an Eligible Employee
     who elects such standards. The determination of such standards, terms and
     conditions for electing such standards and receiving credits for gains and
     losses attributable to such standards, shall be in the sole discretion of
     the Committee.

     3.   Section 3(c) of the Supplemental BRP is amended in its entirety to
read as set forth below:

          (c)  An amount determined as follows: (1) If any Eligible Employee's
     contributions to the Qualified Plans for a fiscal year are limited by
     section 401(a)(17) or 401(m) of the Code and the Eligible Employee executes
     a salary reduction agreement in a form suitable to the Committee, the
     Eligible Employee's compensation for the remainder of such fiscal year
     shall be reduced by an amount equal to the contributions that the Eligible
     Employee cannot make to the Qualified Plans, and such amount shall be
     credited to a bookkeeping account under the Plan. The bookkeeping account
     also shall be credited with an amount equal to any profit sharing
     contribution or nonelective contribution that would have been made with
     respect to such Employee under the Qualified Plans, adjusted to reflect the
     performance of any measurement standard selected pursuant to Section 3(e)
     ("performance adjustments"). For purposes of determining performance
     adjustments hereunder, amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3(c) shall
     be deemed to be subject to the applicable performance standard as of the
     date such amounts would have been allocated under the Qualified Plan if not
     for the limitations pursuant to section 401(a)(17) and 401(m) of the Code.

               (2)  At any time that participants under a Qualified Plan invest
     amounts contributed on their behalf to such Plan in a fund which invests
     primarily in the common stock of the Company (the "Stock Fund"), the
     Eligible Employee shall be permitted to elect to have amounts credited to
     the bookkeeping account deemed to be invested in the Stock Fund, provided
     that such amounts would have been available for investment in the Stock
     Fund at such time if not for the limitations imposed by sections 401(a)(17)
     and 401(m) of the Code. In addition, amounts credited with respect to
     nonelective contributions which would have been made to the Qualified Plans
     shall be deemed to be invested in the Stock Fund. If the Eligible Employee
     elects to have such amounts deemed to be invested in the Stock Fund, the
     bookkeeping account also shall be credited with the amount equal to any
     employer matching contribution which would have been made to the Qualified
     Plan if such investment had been made in the Stock Fund, and such amount
     also shall be deemed to be invested in the Stock Fund. With respect to
     amounts deemed to be invested in the Stock Fund pursuant to this

                                       7
<PAGE>

     Section 3(c)(2), the bookkeeping account, in lieu of performance
     adjustments pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, shall be
     credited with gains and losses as if such amounts were invested in the
     Stock Fund. The election permitted under this paragraph generally shall be
     subject to the same limitations which are applicable to similar elections
     under the relevant Qualified Plan, except as provided otherwise by the
     Committee.

     4.   Section 3 of the Supplemental BRP is amended by the addition of a new
subsection (e), to read as set forth below:

          (e)(1)  Performance adjustments effected with respect to Plan benefits
     described in Section 3(c) above shall be determined pursuant to paragraph 2
     below, except to the extent that the Committee offers, and the Eligible
     Employee elects, alternative measurement standards pursuant to paragraph 3
     below.

             (2)  The performance adjustment pursuant to this paragraph 2 shall
     be interest, computed monthly, at a rate determined by the Committee to be
     equivalent to the reference rate charged for commercial loans by the Bank
     of America N.T. & S.A. on the last day of each such month.

             (3)  The Committee may but is not required to, offer one or more
     measurement standards in addition to the standard described in paragraph 2.
     Such alternative measurement standards offered by the Committee may include
     standards which have different potential for risk and return and could
     result in reductions in value of the Plan benefits of an Eligible Employee
     who elects such standards. The determination of such standards, terms and
     conditions for electing such standards and receiving credits for gains and
     losses attributable to such standards, shall be in the sole discretion of
     the Committee.
