                                 SCHEDULE III

              INVESTMENT ELECTION QUALITY MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
               FOR DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR KEY EMPLOYEES
                  AND THE EXECUTIVE SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN

At the time any plan investment fund choices are changed by the Plan
Administrator following a Change of Control, the Deferred Compensation Plan for
Key Employees and the Executive Savings Investment Plan shall conform with the
following guidelines which would be maintained irrevocably as long as there are
participant balances remaining within these plans.

For participants with deferred balances, the above captioned plans shall always
incorporate a broad selection of investment choices which cover the spectrum of
investor characteristics taking into account risk and return. These investment
choices should continue to include the "Prime Rate" Fund with interest crediting
according to the current prime rate and for other funds should mirror publicly
traded mutual funds which have received a "3" (average) Morningstar rating or
better. Any fund whose Morningstar rating has fallen below "3" would mandatorily
have to be replaced within a period of sixty days following two successive
ratings below "3" by Morningstar.

Investment offerings in addition to the Prime Rate Fund must include and at all
times mirror mutual funds conforming to the following standards:

         A.    At least two fixed income funds, the first being a fund seeking
               stability of principal (constant net asset value of $1.00 per
               share) and a high level of current income consistent with 2 to 3
               year average maturity and the second being a fixed income fund
               mirroring the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index.

         B.    At least one balanced fund comprising highly liquid equities and
               fixed income securities pursuing three investment objectives:

               (1) conservation of capital,

               (2) reasonable current income and

               (3) profits without undue risk

         C.    At least four equity funds one of which must mirror the S&P 500
               Index, one of which must be Growth oriented, one of which must be
               Value oriented and the third of which should invest in
               international equities or be structured as a global fund. If only
               the minimum 4 equity offerings are offered, then both the
               Growth-oriented and the Value-oriented funds shall be
               predominantly comprised of mid to large capitalization equities.<PAGE>   1

                  Amendment to Supplemental Retirement Plan

      RESOLVED, further, that the Supplemental Retirement Plan ("SERP")
      maintained by the Company is amended effective for all SERP participants
      who had not commenced receipt of their benefits under the SERP as of
      December 1, 1999 to provide that (a) any SERP participant whose qualified
      retirement plan benefit is determined under the account option formula may
      elect a lump sum form of payment of the participant's SERP benefits upon
      retirement or other termination provided the lump sum election is in place
      at least one year prior to the date benefit payments commence, (b) any
      such SERP participant who elects to receive a lump sum benefit will earn
      simple interest from the date of employment termination until the date of
      distribution based on the "Periodic Interest Rate" as defined in the
      underlying qualified retirement plan and (c) each SERP participant
      employed by the Company at the time of the consummation of a change in
      control shall be fully vested in his or her accrued benefit under the
      SERP; and

      RESOLVED, further, that the Authorized Officers and other appropriate
      representatives of the Company be, and each of them hereby is, authorized,
      empowered and directed, in the name and on behalf of the Company, to
      execute such certificates, instruments and documents and take any and all
      other such actions as such officers or representatives shall deem
      necessary, advisable or appropriate in order to amend the SERP and carry
      out the intent and purpose of the foregoing resolutions, the taking of any
      such action to be deemed conclusive evidence that the Board and the
      Company have authorized such action.<PAGE>   1

      RESOLVED, further, that effective January 15, 2001, the Board hereby
      approves amendments to the Second-to-Die Insurance Benefit Plan with
      respect to the split-dollar agreements between the Company and certain
      employees to provide that, upon a change in control, (a) the insurance
      policy assignment under the split-dollar arrangement shall be held by
      Wachovia Bank of North Carolina, N.A. as Trustee under the Trust Agreement
      regardless of whether the participant voluntarily or involuntarily
      terminates employment following a change in control, and (b) with respect
      to the insurance policy subject to any such split-dollar agreement, the
      participant shall not be required to pay more than the premium amount set
      forth in applicable tables published by the Internal Revenue Service,
      based upon the ages of the participant and his or her beneficiary; and

      RESOLVED, further, that the Authorized Officers and other appropriate
      representatives of the Company be, and each of them hereby is, authorized,
      empowered and directed, in the name and on behalf of the Company, to
      execute such certificates, instruments and documents and take any and all
      other such actions as such officers or representatives shall deem
      necessary, advisable or appropriate in order to amend the Second-to-Die
      Insurance Benefit Plan and split-dollar agreements and carry out the
      intent and purpose of the foregoing resolutions, the taking of any such
      action to be deemed conclusive evidence that the Board and the Company
