                         SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS PLAN II
                         -----------------------------

                       (Effective as of January 1, 1996)

                                   SECTION I
                                   ---------

                                    General
                                    -------

     1.1. History, Purpose and Effective Date. Kraft Foods, Inc., a Delaware
          -----------------------------------
corporation (the "Company"), has established Kraft Foods, Inc. Supplemental
Benefits Plan II (the "Plan") to enable the eligible employees of the Employers
(as defined below) to receive retirement income and other benefits in addition
to the retirement income and other benefits payable under the qualified plans of
the Employer. The "Effective Date" of the Plan is January 1, 1996. The benefits
payable under the Plan include certain benefits that were part of the Kraft
Foods, Inc. Supplemental Benefits Plan (as in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Date) but that do not constitute retirement income from a plan,
program or arrangement described in section 114 (b) (1) (I) (ii) of chapter 4 of
Title 4, United States Code. The Company and any of its subsidiaries that adopts
the Plan with the consent of the Company's Management Committee for Employee
Benefits (the "Committee") are referred to below collectively as the "Employers"
and individually as an "Employer". The Plan is not intended to qualify under
section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
or be subject to Parts 2, 3 or 4 of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). For purposes of applying Title I of
ERISA, the Plan constitutes a plan maintained primarily for the purpose of
providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly
compensated employees within the meaning of section 301 (a) (3) of ERISA.

     1.2. Plan Administration; Plan Year. The Plan shall be administered by the
          ------------------------------
Committee, as more fully described in Section 5. The "Plan Year" means the
12-consecutive-month period beginning on each January 1 and ending on the
following December 31.

     1.3. Source of Benefits. The amount of any benefit payable under the Plan
          ------------------
will be paid in cash from the general assets of the Employers or from one or
more trusts, the assets of which are subject to the claims of the Employer's
general creditors. Such amounts payable shall be reflected on the accounting
records of the Employers but shall not be construed to create, or require the
creation of, a trust, custodial or escrow account. No employee or other
individual entitled to benefits under the Plan shall have any right, title or
interest whatever in any assets of
<PAGE>

any Employer or to any investment reserves, accounts or funds that an Employer
may purchase, establish or accumulate to aid in providing the benefits under the
Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan and no action taken pursuant to its
provisions, shall create a trust or fiduciary relationship of any kind between
an Employer and an employee or any other person. Neither an employee or
beneficiary of an employee shall acquire any interest greater than that of an
unsecured creditor.

     1.4. Indemnification and Exculpation. The members of the Committee, and its
          -------------------------------
agents, and the officers, directors, and employees of any Employer and its
affiliates shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Employer against and
from any and all loss, costs, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or
reasonably incurred by them in connection with or resulting from any claim,
action, suit, or proceeding to which they may be a party or in which they may be
involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and
against and from any and all amounts paid by them in settlement (with the
Employer's written approval) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in
any such action, suit, or proceeding. The foregoing provisions shall not be
applicable to any person if the loss, costs, liability, or expense is due to
such person's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     1.5. Applicable Laws. The Plan shall be construed and administered in
          ---------------
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois to the extent that
such laws are not preempted by the laws of the United States of America.

     1.6. Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in any gender shall
          -----------------
include any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural and the
plural shall include the singular.

     1.7. Action by Employers.  Any action required of or permitted by the
          -------------------
Company or the Employers under the Plan shall be by approval of the Committee or
any person or persons authorized by the Committee.

     1.8. Severability of Plan Provisions.  In the event any provision of the
          --------------------------------
Plan shall be held invalid or illegal for any reason, any invalidity or
illegality shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, but the Plan shall
be construed and enforced as if the invalid or illegal provision had never been
inserted, and the Company shall have the right to correct and remedy such
questions of invalidity or illegality by amendment as provided in the Plan.

     1.9. Notices. Any notice or document required to be filed with the
          -------
Committee under the Plan will be properly filed if

                                       2
<PAGE>

delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Committee (or
its delegate), in care of the Company, at its principal executive offices. Any
notice required under the Plan may be waived by the person entitled to notice.

     1.10. Defined Terms. Terms used frequently with the same meaning are
           -------------
indicated by initial capital letters, and are defined throughout the Plan.
Appendix A contains an alphabetical listing of such terms and the locations in
which they are defined.

                                   SECTION 2
                                   ---------

                                 Participation
                                 -------------

     2.1. Participation. Subject to the conditions and limitations of the Plan,
          -------------
each employee of an Employer will automatically be enrolled in and become a
"Participant" in the Plan on the first day on or after the Effective Date upon
which he satisfies the following requirements:

     (a)  he is in a select group of management or highly compensated employees;
          and

     (b)  (i) he is a participant in the Kraft Foods Retirement Plan or the
              Kraft Foods Hourly Retirement Plan (collectively, the "Retirement
              Plan") and his benefits under the Retirement Plan are limited
              because the Retirement Plan does not take into account as
              compensation his Annual Performance Award or the amount of any
              nonqualified compensation deferrals; or

         (ii) he is a former Dart Industries pilot identified in Appendix B; or

        (iii) he has become entitled to any of the special benefits described in
              subsection 3.4.

     2.2. Plan Not Contract of Employment. The Plan does not constitute a
          -------------------------------
contract of employment, and participation in the Plan will not give any employee
the right to be retained in the employ of any Employer nor any right or claim to
any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued
under the terms of the Plan.

                                   ---------

                     Supplemental Retirement Plan Benefits
                     -------------------------------------

     3.1. Benefit Amount. A Participant in the Plan shall be entitled to
          --------------
supplemental Retirement Plan benefits payable from this Plan in the amounts
described in subsections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, as applicable, subject to the
conditions and limitations of the Plan including those provisions set forth in
subsection 3.5.

     3.2. Supplemental Retirement Plan Benefits Attributable to Special
          -------------------------------------------------------------
Compensation Amounts. A Participant described in subparagraph 2. 1 (b) (i) shall
--------------------
be eligible for a supplemental Retirement Plan benefit payable under the Plan in
an amount equal to:

     (a)  the amount of the Retirement Benefit or Deferred Vested Benefit (as
          defined in the Retirement Plan), expressed in the form of the benefit
          the Participant is actually receiving under the Retirement Plan, that
          the Participant would have been entitled to receive under the
          Retirement Plan, if his Retirement Plan benefit were determined
          without regard to the compensation limitations of section 401 (a) (17)
          of the Code and without regard to the limitations imposed by section
          415 of the Code, and if the Retirement Plan included as compensation
          all Annual Performance Awards and any nonqualified compensation
          deferrals,

                                   REDUCED BY
                                   ----------

     (b)  the amount of the actual benefit payable under the Retirement Plan to
          or on account of the individual, and

                               FURTHER REDUCED BY
                               ------------------

     (c)  the amount of the benefit payable to or on account of the individual
          under subsection 4.2 of Kraft Foods, Inc. Supplemental Benefits Plan I
          ("Plan I").

     3.3. Pilots Pension Benefits. A Participant described in subparagraph
          -----------------------
2.1(b)(ii) whose employment with an Employer terminates on or after attaining
age 60 shall be eligible for a pension benefit payable under the Plan in an
amount equal to:

     (a)  the amount of the Retirement Benefit (as defined in the Retirement
          Plan), expressed in the form of the benefit the Participant is
          actually receiving under the Retirement Plan, that the Participant
          would have

                                       4
<PAGE>

          been entitled to receive under the Retirement Plan, if such benefit
          were determined without regard to any actuarial reductions thereunder
          due to his benefit commencement prior to attaining age 65;

                                   REDUCED BY
                                   ----------

     (b)  the amount of the actual benefit payable under the Retirement Plan to
          or on account of the Participant.

     3.4. Special Pension Benefits. If under the terms of any employment or
          ------------------------
incentive agreement or other contractual obligation of an Employer any
Participant is entitled to additional service credit, early retirement
subsidies, an enhanced pension formula or any other additional retirement plan
amounts that are not payable from the Retirement Plan or from Plan I, such
additional retirement amounts shall be payable from this Plan in the amount
determined by the Committee.

     3.5. Nonduplication of Supplemental Benefit Plan Amounts. The provisions of
          ---------------------------------------------------
this Plan are intended to be coordinated with the provisions of Plan I and are
not intended to duplicate any of the benefits provided thereunder. To the
extent, if any, that any portion of a Participant's nonqualified retirement
benefits payable from the Company or any other Employer could be provided from
both this Plan and from Plan I, the portion of such benefit amount otherwise
payable from this Plan shall be reduced by the portion of such benefit that is
payable from Plan I.

                                   SECTION 4
                                   ---------

                      Vesting and Payment of Plan Benefits
                      ------------------------------------

     4.1. Vesting. A Participant shall become vested and have a nonforfeitable
          -------
interest in his benefits under the Plan when and to the extent that his accrued
benefit under the Retirement Plan becomes vested and nonforfeitable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 4.1, a Participant
or his beneficiary shall have no right to any benefits under the Plan if the
Committee or his Employer determines that he engaged in a willful, deliberate or
grossly negligent act of commission or omission which is substantially injurious
to the finances or reputation of the Employers.

     4.2. Payment of Plan Benefits to Participants. Except as provided by the
          ----------------------------------------
following provisions of this paragraph, a Participant's vested benefits under
the Plan will be paid to him in the same form, on the same dates and for the
same period during which benefits are payable to him under the Retirement Plan;
provided, however, that no benefits under the Plan shall be

                                       5
<PAGE>

payable to a Participant sooner than 30 days after the Participant (and his
spouse or beneficiary, as applicable) has made all elections required to
commence distributions under the terms of the Retirement Plan.

     4.3. Payment of Plan Benefits to Beneficiaries. If a Participant dies
          -----------------------------------------
before he has commenced the payment of vested benefits accrued under the Plan,
his Beneficiary shall receive such death benefits or preretirement surviving
spouse benefits, if any, as would be provided under the Retirement Plan,
calculated and paid in the same form and manner as under the Retirement Plan. If
a Participant dies after he has commenced the payment of benefits accrued under
the Plan, there are no death benefits payable under the Plan except as may be
provided under the distribution method applicable to such benefits in accordance
with subsection 4.2. For purposes of this Plan, a Participant's "Beneficiary"
with respect to benefits payable under the Plan shall be the same person or
persons as his beneficiary determined under the terms of the Retirement Plan
provided, however, that each Participant may designate in writing any legal or
natural person or persons as Beneficiary of any benefits payable under the Plan
after his death. A Beneficiary designation made with respect to benefits payable
under the Plan will be effective only after it is filed in writing with the
Committee or its delegate while the Participant is alive and will cancel all
beneficiary designation forms filed earlier.

     4.4. Facility of Payment. If, in the Committee's opinion, a Participant or
          -------------------
other person entitled to benefits under the Plan is under a legal disability or
is in any way incapacitated so as to be unable to manage his financial affairs,
payment will be made to the conservator or other person legally charged with the
care of his person or his estate or, if no such legal conservator will have been
appointed, then to any individual (for the benefit of such Participant or other
person entitled to benefits under the Plan) whom the Committee may from time to
time approve.

     4.5. Benefits May Not Be Assigned or Alienated. The benefits payable to, or
          -----------------------------------------
on account of, any individual under the Plan may not be voluntarily or
involuntarily assigned or alienated.

     4.6. Tax Liability. The Employers may withhold from any payment of benefits
          -------------
hereunder any taxes required to be withheld and such sum as the Employers may
reasonably estimate to be necessary to cover any taxes for which the Employers
may be liable and which may be assessed with regard to such payment.

     4.7. Committee Discretion to Accelerate. The Committee may accelerate the
          ----------------------------------
date of distribution of any benefits payable under the Plan to or on behalf of
any Participant to the extent that

                                       6
<PAGE>

the Committee determines that such acceleration is in the best interests of the
Employers because of changes in tax laws or accounting principles, Department of
Labor regulations, or any other reason which negates or diminishes the continued
value of the Plan to any Employer or Participant. The amount distributed
pursuant to this subsection 4.7 will be paid in the form of a lump sum.

                                   SECTION 5
                                   ---------

                                 Administration
                                 --------------

     5.1. Committee Membership and Authority.  The "Committee" referred to in
          ----------------------------------
subsection 1.2 shall consist of one or more members appointed by the Company.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 5, the Committee shall
act by a majority of its then members, by meeting or by writing filed without
meeting, and shall have the following discretionary authority, powers, rights
and duties in addition to those vested in it elsewhere in the Plan:

     (a)  to adopt and apply in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner to all
          persons similarly situated, such rules of procedure and regulations
          as, in its opinion, may be necessary for the proper and efficient
          administration of the Plan and as are consistent with the provisions
          of the Plan;

     (b)  to enforce the Plan in accordance with its terms and with such
          applicable rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Committee;

     (c)  to determine conclusively all questions arising under the Plan,
          including the power to determine the eligibility of employees and the
          rights of Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under
          the Plan and their respective benefits, to make factual findings and
          to remedy ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions of whatever kind;

     (d)  to maintain and keep adequate records concerning the Plan and
          concerning its proceedings and acts in such form and detail as the
          Committee may decide;

     (e)  to direct all payments of benefits under the Plan; and

     (f)  to employ agents, attorneys, accountants or other persons (who may
          also be employed by or represent the Employers) for such purposes as
          the committee

                                       7
<PAGE>

          considers necessary or desirable to discharge its duties.

The certificate of a majority of the members of the Committee that the Committee
has taken or authorized any action shall be conclusive in favor of any person
relying on the certificate.

     5.2. Allocation and Delegation of Committee Responsibilities and Powers. In
          ------------------------------------------------------------------
exercising its authority to control and manage the operation and administration
of the Plan, the Committee may allocate all or any part of its responsibilities
and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of
its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it. Any
such allocation or delegation may be revoked at any time.

     5.3. Information to be Furnished to Committee. The Employers shall furnish
          ----------------------------------------
the Committee such data and information as may be required for it to discharge
its duties and the records of the Employers shall be conclusive on all persons
unless determined to be incorrect. Participants and other persons entitled to
benefits under the Plan must furnish to the Committee such evidence, data or
information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out the Plan.

     5.4. Committee's Decision Final. Any interpretation of the Plan and any
          --------------------------
decision on any matter within the discretion of the Committee made by the
Committee shall be binding on all persons. A misstatement or other mistake of
fact shall be corrected when it becomes known, and the Committee shall make such
adjustment on account thereof as it considers equitable and practicable.

                                   SECTION 6
                                   ---------

                           Amendment and Termination
                           -------------------------

     6.1. Amendment and Termination. The Company and the Committee have the
          -------------------------
right to amend the Plan from time to time, and the right to terminate it;
provided, however, that no such amendment or termination of the Plan will:

     (a)  reduce or impair the interests of Participants in benefits being paid
          under the Plan as of the date of amendment or termination, as the case
          may be; or

     (b)  reduce the aggregate amount of benefits payable from the Plan and from
          any other plan, program or arrangement established to supplement or
          replace the Plan to or on account of any employee of an Employer to an
          amount which is less than the amount to which he

                                       8
<PAGE>

          would be entitled in accordance with the provisions of the Plan if the
          employee terminated employment immediately prior to the date of the
          amendment or termination, as the case may be.

     6.2. Merger. No Employer will merge or consolidate with any other
          ------
corporation, or liquidate or dissolve, without making suitable arrangements,
satisfactory to the Committee, for the payment of any benefits payable under the
Plan.

          be, (B) less than 20% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of
          common stock of such corporation and the combined voting power of the
          then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to
          vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially
          owned, directly or indirectly, by any Person (excluding any employee
          benefit plan (or related trust) of the Parent or such corporation),
          except to the extent that such Person owned 20% or more of the
          Outstanding Parent Common Stock or Outstanding Parent Voting
          Securities prior to the sale or disposition and (C) at least a
          majority of the members of the board of directors of such corporation

     7.2. Effect of Change of Control. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
          ---------------------------
the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change of Control, each Participant
shall immediately be fully vested in any benefits accrued under the Plan through
the date of the Change of Control, and each Participant (or his beneficiary)
shall be paid a lump sum payment in cash within 30 days of the Change of Control
equal to the actuarially determined present value of his accrued benefits under
Section 3. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the calculation of the lump
sum payment of the benefits accrued under Section 3 shall be based upon the same
actuarial factors and adjustments used under the Retirement Plan for purposes of
lump sum payments as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control.

                   ASSET ALLOCATION AND SEPARATION AGREEMENT

                                                             ---------
Asset Allocation and Separation Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2000 (the

 --------------------
corporation ("Western"), and Westar Industries, Inc., a Kansas corporation
              -------
("Westar").
  ------
         Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall
have the meaning given such terms in the Allocation Agreement.

                             W I T N E S S E T H :
                              - - - - - - - - - -

         WHEREAS, Western and Westar desire to amend certain terms of the
Allocation Agreement as provided herein;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         Section 1.   Amendment to the Allocation Agreement. Section 2.02 of the
                      -------------------------------------
Allocation Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence of the
first paragraph of such section in its entirety and substituting the following
sentences in its place:

                 Section 2.02. Intercompany Transfers and Settlement of
                               ----------------------------------------
         Intercompany Debt. After the date hereof and until the earlier of the
         -----------------
         Cut Off Date or the secured debt of Western's electric utility
         operations receiving an investment grade rating from Moody's and
         Standard & Poor's Westar shall (a) pay to Western the net cash proceeds
         of any sale by Westar of its ownership interest in ONEOK, Inc. and
         Western Resources, whether presently owned or hereafter acquired
         (including common stock or preference stock of Western Resources issued
         to Westar after the date hereof as a result of the conversion of the
         Intercompany Receivable as provided herein), (b) pay to Western the net
         cash proceeds of any borrowings by Westar secured by a pledge of or
         security interest in any of the assets described in the foregoing
         clause (a), and (c) pay to Western the net cash proceeds of the Rights
         Offering. All such payments shall be for the purposes and subject to
         the limits provided in Section 3.2(a)(i) of the Merger Agreement, or to
         acquire indebtedness of Western. Net cash proceeds as used herein shall
         mean cash proceeds of a sale transaction received by Westar after
         deduction of expenses, commission, etc., tax payments for local,
         federal or state entities, and any debt owed on the asset sold. Westar
         may convert any outstanding amount of the
<PAGE>

         Intercompany Receivable as provided in Section 3.2(a)(ii) of the Merger
         Agreement, provided any remaining balance of the Intercompany
         Receivable that has not been converted on or before the Merger
         Effective Time shall be so converted at the Effective Time, and Westar
         shall provide written notice to Western of its choice of conversion
         options on or prior to the Cut Off Date. Western shall use all proceeds
         received from Westar as provided above or from the exercise by Westar
         of its rights under the Westar Option to reduce or minimize its debt.
         This amendment may be terminated if (x) the Kansas Corporation
         Commission (the "Commission") issues an order with respect to the
         restructuring of Western's assets, debt or the matters covered by this
         Section 2.02 which is inconsistent with this amendment, or (y) the
         Commission staff (the "Staff") on its own or others initiate a docket
         with respect to the restructuring of Western's assets, debt or the
         matters covered by this Section 2.02 which is inconsistent with this
         amendment and which causes the Rights Offering to be terminated prior
         to the successful completion of said Rights Offering or Western and
         Westar do not issue the rights contemplated by the Rights Offering or
         the Rights Offering is not successfully completed. This amendment may
         also be terminated if after successful completion of the Rights
         Offering, the Kansas Corporation Commission issues an Order or Orders
         attempting to set aside or materially alter this Agreement or the
         Rights Offering. If this amendment is terminated, the terms of this
         Section 2.02 as in effect prior to this amendment shall automatically
         be reinstated and be in full force and effect.

                  If the Merger is terminated, Western will meet with the Staff
         within 60 days following such termination to discuss the appropriate
         level of debt for Western. If agreement cannot be reached, Western or
         the Staff may submit the matter to the Commission for a hearing and an
         order. If the Merger is terminated, Western will reduce its total debt
         by at least $100 million per year, until its debt level reaches the
         agreed upon debt level, or until it reaches the debt level established
         by a final, non-appealable Commission order. Western will raise the
         funds needed to make this debt reduction by the following options,
         including, but not be limited to, (i) selling Westar stock, (ii)
         selling Western stock , (iii) converting the outstanding balance of the
         Intercompany Receivable (expected to be approximately $291 million at
         the Cut Off Date) to common stock or preference stock of Western, (iv)
         selling assets of Westar presently owned or hereafter acquired by
         Westar, or (v) taking other actions providing for an orderly reduction
         of such debt. The parties acknowledge that multiple methodologies may
         be appropriate to achieve such reduction in debt and the methodologies
         utilized will be governed by the events existing at the time of the
         discussions.

                  Western and Westar further agree that prior to the Merger,
         Western will not sell more than 19.9% of the stock of Westar, and if
         the Merger is terminated Western will continue as owner of at least
         80.1% of Westar's stock, unless Western first provides not less than 30
         days advance notice to the Commission.
<PAGE>

         Western agrees that other than as allowed in the Merger Agreement, it
         will not dividend Westar Industries, Inc. to Western's shareholders
         until Western or the Staff will have resolved their issues as herein
         provided or will have submitted their issues to the Commission as
         provided in this Agreement, or the Commission and the Parties hereto
         shall have otherwise agreed.

                  Western agrees that from the date of this Amendment, excluding
         the existing credit facilities between Westar and Protection One ($155
         Million Dollar credit facility), it will not incur additional
         indebtedness or pledge utility assets for additional indebtedness, for
         its unregulated business entities until the issues set forth herein are
         resolved pursuant to the Agreement.

         Section 2.  Representations and Warranties. Each party hereto hereby
                     ------------------------------
represents and warrants that (i) it has the power and authority and the legal
right to make, deliver and perform this Amendment, (ii) it has taken all
necessary actions to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Amendment, and (iii) this Amendment is legal, valid and binding on, and
enforceable against, such party.

         Section 3.  Continuing Effect. Except as expressly waived or otherwise
                     -----------------
agreed hereby, the Allocation Agreement shall continue to be and shall remain in
full force and effect in accordance with its terms. This Amendment shall not
constitute a waiver or amendment of any other term, condition or provision of
the Allocation Agreement.

         Section 4.  Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by,
                     -------------
and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York.

         Section 5.  Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed by the
                     ------------
parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.

         Section 6.  Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement
                     ----------------------
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns; provided that neither party may assign,
                                   --------
delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, and unless the Merger Agreement shall have
been terminated in accordance with its terms, any such assignment shall require
the written consent of Parent. If any party or any of its successors or assigns
(i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the
continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or
(ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any
Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the
successors and assigns of such party shall assume all of the obligations of such
party under each of the Split-Off Documents.
<PAGE>

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this instrument as
of the date and year first above written.
