NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the financial information furnished
herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
interim periods specified. These adjustments consist only of normal
recurring accruals. Because of seasonal and other factors, results
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.
a. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, the computations of
earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares and additional shares assuming the exercise
of stock options. The computations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 are based solely on the weighted average number
of outstanding common shares. None of the periods presented assumes
conversion of the 8 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2000
and 2006, or the Series A Preferred Stock since such conversions
would have been antidilutive. The shares used in the computations
are as follows (in thousands):

Results of Operations
For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company reported net income
of $41.9 million, compared to net income of $5.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996. On a per-share basis, the second quarter net
income was $.08 per primary and fully diluted common share after preferred
dividends, compared to a loss of $.14 per primary and fully diluted common
share a year ago.
Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $1.56 billion, up 5%
from $1.51 billion for the year-ago period despite the negative impact of
foreign currencies in the current quarter. Total gross profit percent was
34.0% in the second quarter of 1997 compared to 32.7% in the year-ago period.
For the three months ended June 30, 1997, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $341.8 million compared to $346.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, and research and development expenses were $67.4 million
compared to $81.4 million a year earlier. The decline in research and
development was largely due to the Company's cost reduction actions and an
increase in capitalization of software development costs compared to the
prior-year period.
For the second quarter of 1997, the Company reported an operating income
percent (operating income as a percent of revenue) of 8.1% compared to 4.2%
for the second quarter of 1996.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
Note: Certain prior year business unit amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current year presentation.
Customer revenue from the Information Services Group ("ISG") decreased 5% in
the quarter reflecting the continued focus and refinement of the group's
business model. ISG gross profit percent was 21.3% in 1997 compared to 17.9%
last year due to the benefits of restructuring and an improved bid quality and
control process.
Global Customer Services ("GCS") customer revenue increased 11% from year-ago
levels led by growth in distributed computing support services which more than
offset a decline in core maintenance revenue. The gross profit percent in GCS
was 28.9% in 1997 compared to 31.9% last year due in large part to the impact,
in the current period, of a large lower-margin federal contract for distributed
computing support services.
Customer revenue in the Computer Systems Group ("CSG") increased 10%
principally due to increases in sales of large-scale enterprise servers and
software. CSG gross profit percent rose to 43.3% in 1997 from 38.4% last year,
due in large part to a higher proportion of sales of large-scale enterprise
servers.
Interest expense in the second quarter of 1997 was $59.5 million compared to
$68.3 million in the second quarter of 1996, principally due to lower average
debt levels.
Other income (loss), net, which can vary from quarter to quarter, was a loss
of $3.2 million in the current quarter compared to income of $12.4 million in
the year-ago period. The change was mainly due to lower equity and interest
income.
Income before income taxes was $66.5 million in 1997 compared to $8.0 million
last year. The provision for income taxes was $24.6 million in the current
period compared to $2.7 million in the year-ago period.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." This statement
requires that if a transfer of financial assets does not meet certain criteria
for recording the transaction as a sale, the transfer must be accounted for as
a secured borrowing. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, consolidated statement
of income, or liquidity.
Page 8
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
In February of 1997, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," was issued. This
statement establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share. Adoption of SFAS No. 128 and restatement of prior periods' earnings
per share is required in the fourth quarter of 1997. For the Company,
earnings per share under SFAS No. 128 for the current quarter would be the
same as reported. The effect of adoption of SFAS No. 128 on earlier periods
is immaterial.
Financial Condition
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 30, 1997 were $477.6
million compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 1996. Cash was used during
the first six months of 1997 for operating, investing and financing activities
as described below.
Cash used for operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 1997
was $176.3 million compared to $447.3 million used during the prior-year
period. The decline in cash usage from operations in the current period
compared to the year-ago period was due to current period income, and improved
working capital management, including improvements in inventory turns and
accounts receivable days outstanding.
Cash used for investing activities during the first half of 1997 was $140.4
million compared to $97.0 million used in the year-ago period. The increase
in cash usage was principally due to increased capital expenditures as a number
of large-scale Clearpath enterprise servers were added to the Company's rental
machine base.
Cash used for financing activities during the first half of 1997 was $214.0
million compared to cash provided of $617.8 million in 1996. In the current
period, the Company redeemed all $150.0 million of its Series B and C
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The year-ago period includes proceeds
of $700.9 million for issuances of debt. Dividends paid on preferred stock
were $59.8 million in the first half of 1997 compared to $60.4 million in the
first half of 1996.
At June 30, 1997, total debt was $2.3 billion, a slight decrease from December
31, 1996. In June 1997, the Company entered into a two-year $200 million
revolving credit facility replacing the prior one-year facility. The facility
includes certain financial tests that must be met as conditions to a borrowing
and provides that no loans may be outstanding for twenty consecutive days in
each quarter. The facility may not be used to refinance other debt. The
amount the Company may borrow at any given time is dependent upon the amount
of certain of its accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30, 1997,
there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility and the entire $200
million was available for borrowings.
Page 9
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
The Company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an
effective registration statement covering $500 million of debt or equity
securities which enables the Company to be prepared for future market
opportunities. In addition, the Company may, from time to time, redeem or
repurchase its securities in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions depending upon availability, market conditions, and other factors.
At June 30, 1997, the Company had deferred tax assets in excess of deferred
tax liabilities of $1,425 million. For the reasons cited below, management
determined that it is more likely than not that $1,009 million of such assets
will be realized, therefore resulting in a valuation allowance of $416 million.
The Company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its net deferred tax
assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of
such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of
realization are the Company's forecast of future taxable income, which is
adjusted by applying probability factors, and available tax planning strategies
that could be implemented to realize deferred tax assets. The combination of
these factors is expected to be sufficient to realize the entire amount of net
deferred tax assets. Approximately $2.9 billion of future taxable income
(predominantly U.S.) is needed to realize all of the net deferred tax assets.
The Company's net deferred tax assets include substantial amounts of net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Failure to achieve forecasted
taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax
assets. See "Factors That May Affect Future Results" below.
Stockholders' equity decreased $65.6 million during the six months ended June
30, 1997 principally reflecting translation adjustments of $71.5 million and
preferred dividends declared of $59.8 million, offset in part by net income of
$61.2 million.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
From time to time, the Company provides information containing "forward-
looking" statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are subject
to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the Company's actual
results to differ materially from expectations. These include, but are not
limited to, the following: the impact of continued competitive pressures and
volatility in the information technology and services industry on revenues,
pricing and margins; rapid changes in technology, technology standards and
product life cycles; the Company's ability to design, develop, introduce,
deliver or obtain new products and services on a timely and cost-effective
basis; the Company's ability to effectively manage the business mix shift away

Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
from traditional high-margin product and services offerings; the Company's
ability to profitably bid and perform services contracts, particularly large,
fixed-price, multi-year systems integration contracts; the Company's reliance
on third-party alliances, subcontractors, suppliers and distribution channels;
the risks of doing business internationally, including foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations, changes in political or economic conditions, trade
protection measures and import or export licensing requirements; the Company's
cost of and success in attracting and retaining highly skilled people; and
natural disasters or changes in general economic and business conditions.

1. Purpose. The purpose of the Unisys Corporation Director Stock
Unit Plan (the "Plan") is to provide a vehicle through which all or a portion
of the remuneration paid to Directors of Unisys Corporation (the

Date.
5. Elections.
(A) A Director's election shall be executed in writing on
a form furnished by the Secretary of the Corporation on or before the date
that is (I) no later than December 31 of the year preceding the calendar year
to which the election applies or (II) at least three months and one day before
the date on which the Retainer Fee or Meeting Fee to be deferred, absent
deferral, would be paid to the Director, provided, however, that an
individual who becomes a Director after January 1 of a calendar year may make
an Election with respect to Compensation that has not been paid and, absent
deferral, would be paid to him or her during the remainder of the calendar
year in which he or she has become a Director, by executing the required
written election on or before the date that is 30 days after the date on
which he or she becomes a Director. The election must specify that the
Director desires to be credited Stock Units in lieu of receiving his/her
Compensation in cash.
(B) An election, once made, shall be irrevocable with
respect to Compensation payable for the calendar year or years to which it
applies.
(C) An election must specify either a percentage or a
certain dollar amount of the Compensation to be deferred under the Plan.
(D) An election must specify whether the Stock Units will
be paid in cash or in common stock of the Corporation, provided, however, that
no election to be paid Stock Units in the form of stock shall become effective
until November 1, 1996.
(E) An election shall specify the date on which payment
of the amount deferred is to commence, subject to Sections 8 and 9 hereof, and
may specify that such payment is to commence as of:
(1) the Director's termination of service as a
member of the Board (including as a result of disability); or
(2) a specific date (which may be determined by
reference to the Director's termination of service) that is at least five
years after the date on which the initial amounts to be deferred, absent
deferral, would be paid to the Director.
(F) The Director must specify the manner in which
payment of his or her Account is to be made and may specify that such payment
is to be made either in a single sum or in annual installments.
(G) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Director may not
elect a time of benefit commencement and/or a form of payment to the extent
that such an election would cause any payments to be made after the March 31
first following the date that is 20 years after the date of the Director's
termination of service.
(H) Deferrals of a Director's Compensation shall be
credited to the Plan at the time at which the Compensation, absent deferral,
would otherwise be payable to the Director.
(I) Unless the Election form specifically provides

that includes the first day on which any compensation, absent deferral, would
be paid to the Director.
(J) Additional payment elections with respect to
Non-Elective Stock Unit Awards may be provided if deemed necessary and
appropriate by the Committee.
6. Memorandum Account. The Corporation shall establish on its
books a memorandum account for each Director denoted as the Director's
Corporation Stock Units Account. Stock Units, dividends and other adjustments
shall be credited to the account and payments made to the Director or
Beneficiary shall be debited to the account. No assets shall be segregated
or earmarked in respect of any amounts credited to the Account and no Director
shall have any right to assign, transfer, pledge or hypothecate his or her
interest or any portion thereof in his or her Account. The Plan and the
crediting of Accounts hereunder shall not constitute a trust and shall be
merely for the purpose of recording an unsecured contractual obligation.
7. Dividends and Other Adjustments. If the Corporation shall
issue a stock dividend on the common stock, stock dividend equivalents shall
be credited to the Account, as of the dividend payment date, as Stock Units in
the same amount as the stock dividends to which the Director would have been
entitled if the Stock Units were shares of common stock. Cash dividends, if
any, shall be credited to the Account, as of the dividend payment date, in
the form of Stock Units determined in the manner set forth in Section 4(C)
hereof based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the dividend
payment date. The Account shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect splits,
reverse splits, or comparable changes to the Corporation's common stock.
8. Distribution of Accounts.
(A) Payment Election. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 9, payment of an Account shall commence as of the Valuation Date next
following the date or dates specified in the Election or Elections or (where
applicable) the Revised Election or Elections; provided, however, that where
the Election or Elections or (where applicable) the Revised Election or
Elections specify that payments with respect to an Account are to commence as
of a specified date or specified dates not determined by reference to the
Director's termination of service and the Director terminates service prior
to such date or dates, payment of the portion of the Director's Account that
was to commence on such date or dates shall commence as of the Valuation Date
next following the Director's termination of service, but in the same form
specified in the Director's Election or Elections or (where applicable) the
Revised Election or Elections.
(1) All payments shall be made in the form or
forms specified in the Election or Elections or (where applicable) the
Revised Election or Elections.
(2) To the extent a Director has not specified
the form or time of payment of all or a part of his or her Account, payment
of the amounts not specified will be made in a single sum as soon as
administratively practicable, but within 90 days, after the first Valuation
Date following the Director's termination of service as a Director.
(3) Where a Director has elected payment in
the form of annual installments, each installment payment after the initial
installment payment shall be made on or about March 31 of each year following
the year in which the first installment was paid. With respect to each
Election made by a Director, the amount of each annual installment payment to
be made to the Director shall be determined by dividing the portion of the
Director's Account covered by such Election as of the latest Valuation Date
preceding the date of payment by the number of installments remaining to be
paid under such Election.
(4) Notwithstanding any election made by a
Director, any portion of a Director's Account that has not been paid to the
Director as of the date of his or her death shall be paid to the Director's
Beneficiary in a single sum as soon as administratively practicable, but
within 90 days following the Valuation Date on which the Corporation receives
notification of the Director's death.
(B) Revised Election.
(1) Pursuant to a Revised Election, a Director
may specify:
(I) a date for the commencement of the
payment of the Director's Account that is after the date specified in the
Director's Election; and/or
(II) a form of payment that calls for a
greater number of annual installment payments than that specified in the
Director's Election, or a number of annual installment payments where the
Director specified a single sum payment in his or her Election.
(III) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Director may not elect a time of benefit commencement and/or a form of payment
to the extent that such an election would cause any payments to be made after
the March 31 first following the date that is 20 years after the date of the
Director's termination of service as a Director.
(2) If a Participant has made a Revised
Election with respect to amounts the payment of which has been deferred to a
certain date, the Participant may not thereafter make another Revised Election
with respect to amounts the payment of which, as of the date on which such
Revised Election is made and before giving effect to the Revised Election,
has been deferred to the same date.
(3) To be effective, a Revised Election must be:
(I) made in writing by the Director
on a form furnished for such purpose by the Secretary of the Corporation;
(II) submitted to the Secretary of
the Corporation on or before the date that is three months and one day
before the date on which the portion of the Director's Account that is
the subject of the Revised Election would, absent the Revised Election,
first become payable; and
(III) approved by the Secretary of the
Corporation. A Revised Election will be deemed to have been approved by
the Secretary of the Corporation if it is not disapproved by the Secretary
of the Corporation within ten days of the date on which it is received.
(C) Valuation of Account. In determining the amount
to be paid upon termination of service, the cash value of a Director's
Account shall equal the product of the number of Stock Units credited to
the Account multiplied by the Fair Market Value as of the applicable
Valuation Date. The value of Stock Units payable in stock shall equal
shares of Unisys Common Stock equal to the number of whole Stock Units.
The value of fractional Stock Units shall be paid in cash. The amount of
each annual installment payment shall be determined by dividing the value
determined in according with the preceding sentence as of the date of the
installment payment by the number of installments remaining to be paid.
(D) No Early Withdrawals. No early withdrawal of a
Director's Account shall be permitted. Except as provided in Section 9
hereof or as provided in an Election or Revised Election, distribution of
a Director's Account may be made only upon termination of service as a
Director.
9. Accelerated Payment.
(A) Change in Control.
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a "change in control," each
Director may elect to receive a single sum payment of all or any portion
of his or her Stock Unit Account balance. Such election shall only be
effective if delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation within the
ninety-day period immediately following the date of the occurrence of the
change in control.
(2) If an election is timely made, the Director
(or Beneficiary) will be entitled to receive, as soon as practicable after
the expiration of the ninety-day period, an amount equal to (a) the full
value or any portion thereof of the Stock Unit Account minus (b) an early
withdrawal penalty equal to 8% of the total value of (a). The Committee,
upon advice of counsel, may modify the early withdrawal penalty described
above in any way it deems appropriate and consistent with the purposes of
the Plan.
(3) If litigation is brought by the Director or
the Beneficiary after a change in control to enforce or interpret any
provision of the Plan, the Corporation to the extent permitted by applicable
law shall reimburse the Director (or Beneficiary) for the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel incurred in such litigation.
(B) Change in Circumstances. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee in its sole discretion
may accelerate the payment of Stock Units Accounts to all or any group of
similarly situated Directors or Beneficiaries, whether before or after the
Director's termination of service, in response to changes in the tax laws or
accounting principles.
10. Amendment and Termination. The Board may modify or amend, in
whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan, or suspend or
terminate it entirely; provided, however, that any such modification,
amendment, suspension or termination may not, without the participating
Director's consent, adversely affect any amount credited to his/her Account
for any period prior to the effective date of such modification, amendment,
suspension or termination. The Plan shall remain in effect until
terminated pursuant to this provision.
11. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee. Any decision made or action taken by the Committee arising out
of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation,
or effect of the Plan shall be within the absolute discretion of the
Committee and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties.
12. Expenses and Taxes. All expenses and costs in connection
with the operation of this Plan shall be borne by the Corporation. The
Corporation shall have the right to deduct from any payment to be made
pursuant to this Plan any federal, state or local taxes required by law
to be withheld.
13. Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed and its
provisions enforced and administered in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania except as such laws may be superseded by any
federal law.
14. SEC Rule 16b. The Plan is intended to comply with SEC
Rule 16b-3 as adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission effective
November 1, 1996, and as amended thereafter, and the Committee is authorized
to interpret the Plan, modify the Plan and/or adopt rules pursuant to the Plan
in order to comply with Rule 16b-3 or such other exemptions as may be
applicable. Specifically, the Committee may delay payment of accounts which
have been deferred or credited for a period of less than six months as of
the payment date.

ARTICLE VI
BENEFIT PAYMENTS
6.01 Form of Benefit Payment
If a Participant should elect a form of benefit payment under the
Company Plan (or such other plan or program, unless impracticable
not to so elect) which is different than the form of benefit payment
under this Plan, then for purposes of determining the offset under
Section 5.06, the Participant shall be deemed to be in receipt of the
amount of benefit payable as if the Participant had elected the Normal
Form of Benefit under the Company Plan.
6.02 Commencement of Benefits
Benefit payments to a Participant shall commence at the same time that
benefit payments commence under the Company Plan. If a Participant is
not a Participant in the Company Plan, the Participant will commence
receipt of benefits under this Plan as of the first day of the
calendar month following the Participant's termination of employment,
unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, agrees to an
alternative commencement date.
6.03 Funding of Benefits
Benefits under this Plan shall not be funded and shall be paid out
of the general assets of the Company. The Company shall not be
required to segregate any funds for the Plan's Participants.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 6.03 to the contrary,
the Committee shall have the discretion but not the obligation to
fund this Plan through a trust of the type described in Internal
Revenue Service Private Letter Ruling 8502023.
6.04 Forfeiture and Suspension of Benefits
(a) Any benefit payable under this Plan shall be suspended for any
period during which it is determined by the Committee that a
Participant is engaged or employed as a business owner,
employee or consultant in any activity which is in competition
with any line of business of the Company existing as of the
date of the Participant's termination of employment from the
Company.
(b) Additionally, any benefit payable under this Plan shall be
forfeitable in the event it is found by the Committee that a
Participant, either during or following termination of
employment with the Company, willfully engaged in any activity
which is determined by the Committee to be materially adverse
or detrimental to the interests of the Company, including any
activity which might reasonably be considered by the Committee
to be of a nature warranting dismissal of an employee for
cause. If the Committee so finds, it may suspend benefits to
the Participant and, after furnishing notice to the
Participant, may terminate benefits under this Plan. The
Committee will consider in its deliberation relative to this
provision any explanation or justification submitted to it in
writing by the Participant within 60 days following the giving
of such notice.
(c) Except as heretofore provided for in this Section 6.04, the
acceptance by a Participant of any benefit under this Plan
shall constitute an agreement with the provisions of this
Plan and a representation that he or she is not engaged or
employed in any activity serving as a basis for suspension or
forfeiture of benefits hereunder. The Committee may require
each Participant eligible for a benefit under this Plan to
acknowledge in writing prior to the payment of such benefit
that he or she will accept payment of benefits under this
Plan only if there is no basis for such suspension or
forfeiture.
ARTICLE VII
ADMINISTRATION
7.01 Committee
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall

7.02 Claims Procedure
(a) In the event that the Committee denies, in whole or in part,
a claim for benefits by a Participant or surviving spouse,
the Committee shall furnish notice of the denial to the
claimant, setting forth:
(1) the specific reasons for the denial,
(2) specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on
which the denial is based,
(3) a description of any additional information necessary
for the claimant to perfect the claim and an
explanation of why such information is necessary, and
(4) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken
if the claimant wishes to submit the claim for review.
Such notice shall be forwarded to the claimant within 90 days
of the Committee's receipt of the claim; provided, however,
that in special circumstances the Committee may extend the
response period for up to an additional 90 days, in which
event it shall notify the claimant in writing of the
extension, and shall specify the reason or reasons for
the extension.
(b) Within 60 days of receipt of a notice of claim denial, a
claimant or the claimant's duly authorized representative
may petition the Committee in writing for a full and fair review
of the denial. The claimant or the claimant's duly authorized
representative shall have the opportunity to review pertinent
documents and to submit issues and comments in writing to the
Committee. The Committee shall review the denial and shall
communicate its decision and the reasons therefore to the
claimant in writing within 60 days of receipt of the petition;
provided, however, that in special circumstances the Committee
may extend the response period for up to an additional 60 days,
in which event it shall notify the claimant in writing prior to
the commencement of the extension.
7.03 Plan Amendment and Termination
The Company expects to continue this Plan indefinitely, but reserves
the right to amend or discontinue it if, in its sole judgment, such
a change is deemed necessary or desirable. However, if the Company
should amend or discontinue this Plan, the Company shall be liable
for any benefits accrued under this Plan (determined on the basis
of each Employee's presumed termination of employment as of the
date of such amendment or discontinuance) as of the date of such

and/or paid shall not affect the Participant's or Beneficiary's
benefits accrued up to the date of the change. Changes which
adversely affect a Participant's or Beneficiary's rights under the
Plan may only take effect on the adoption date of the change and
on a going forward basis.

Neither the action of the Company in establishing the Plan, nor any
provisions of the Plan, nor any action taken by the Company or
by the Committee shall be construed as giving to any employee of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries the right to be retained in its
employ, or any right to payment except to the extent of the benefits
provided by the Plan.
7.05 Severability of Provisions
If any provision of this Plan is determined to be void by any court of
competent jurisdiction, the Plan shall continue to
operate and, for the purposes of the jurisdiction of that court only,
shall be deemed not to include the provision determined to be void.
7.06 Non-Assignability
Except as required by applicable law, no benefits under this Plan
shall be subject in any manner to alienation, anticipation, sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance.
7.07 Withholding
The Company shall have the right to withhold any and all state, local,
and Federal taxes which may be withheld in accordance with applicable

UNISYS CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT INCOME PLAN AS AMENDED AND RESTATED
EFFECTIVE APRIL 11, 1988
(As Amended Through May 22, 1997)
PREAMBLE
The Unisys Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Income Plan, as
amended and restated effective April 1, 1988 (the "Supplemental Plan"), was
adopted by Unisys Corporation (the "Company") to provide for the payment of
supplemental pension benefits to certain employees who retire under the terms
of the Unisys Pension Plan (the "Company Plan"). Capitalized terms which are
used and not otherwise defined in this Supplemental Plan have the same
definition assigned to them in the Company Plan.
The Supplemental Plan was originally adopted by Burroughs Corporation,
effective January 1, 1976, and prior to April 1, 1988, was known as the
Burroughs Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Income Plan (the
"Burroughs Plan"). The Burroughs Plan provided for the payment of
supplemental pension benefits to employees of the Company who participated in
the Burroughs Employees' Retirement Income Plan. Prior to April 1, 1988, the
Company also maintained the Sperry Excess Benefit Plan (the "Sperry Plan")
which provided for the payment of supplemental pension benefits to employees
of the Company who participated in Part A of the Sperry Retirement Program.
(The Burroughs Plan and Sperry Plan will be collectively referred to
hereinafter as the "Prior Plan(s).") Effective April 1, 1988, supplemental
pension benefits will be provided to employees who participate in the Unisys
Pension Plan pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Plan.
The provisions of Part IV of the Supplemental Plan (effective from April
1, 1988 through May 31, 1988) have been amended and restated effective June
1, 1988 and Part IV has been renamed the Unisys Corporation Elected Officers'
Pension Plan. The provisions of that Plan are set forth in a separate plan
document.
Purpose
The Supplemental Plan (which consolidates the provisions of Parts I and II of
the Burroughs Plan) provides for the payment of pension benefits that would
have been paid under the Company Plan but for the benefit limitations imposed
by the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The Supplemental Plan also
provides for the payment of pension benefits that would have been paid under
the Company Plan if deferred salary and annual bonuses had been included in
the calculation of the employee's Compensation.
Effective Date
The Effective Date of the Supplemental Plan, as amended and restated, is
April 1, 1988.
Any former Employee who has retired or terminated employment before
April 1, 1988 shall receive no additional rights as a result of this amended
and restated Supplemental Plan, but shall have his right to benefits, if any,
determined in accordance with the terms of the Prior Plan in effect on the
date of his retirement or other termination of employment.
ARTICLE I - SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS
1.1 Eligibility
(a) Each Employee who is a Participant in the Company Plan and whose
pension benefits payable under the Company Plan are limited by the
compensation or benefit limitations set forth in Sections 401(a)(17) or
415 of the Code shall be eligible for the benefits described in Section
1.2(a)(1) hereunder.
(b) Each Employee who is a Participant in the Company Plan and who has
elected to defer bonus payments payable under the Unisys Senior Manager
Bonus Plan or the Unisys Executive Bonus Plan (or under any predecessor
or successor annual bonus plan) or who has elected to defer salary under
an arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, which
deferred amounts would otherwise have been payable in the final 120 full
consecutive months of active employment shall be eligible for the
benefits described in Section 1.2(a)(2) hereunder.
(c) An Employee who terminates employment prior to earning a vested
right in his accrued benefit under the Company Plan will not be eligible
to receive the benefits provided hereunder.
1.2 Calculation of Supplemental Pension Benefit
(a) Subject to subsection (b), an eligible Employee or the Employee's
Beneficiary, if applicable, shall be entitled to receive a supplemental
pension benefit equal to the pension benefit that would have been paid to
the Employee or Beneficiary under the terms of the Company Plan,
calculated as if:
(1) the Company Plan were administered without regard to the special
benefit limitations imposed under Sections 401(a)(17)
or 415 of the Code; and
(2) any annual bonus or variable compensation amount payable under
the Unisys Senior Manager Bonus Plan, the Unisys Executive Bonus
Plan or the Unisys Executive Variable Compensation Plan (or any
predecessor or successor annual bonus or variable compensation
plan) and deferred by the Employee, and any salary amounts
deferred under an arrangement approved by the Board of Directors
of the Company, had been included in the Employee's Compensation
in the month in which the Employee would have received the bonus
or variable compensation amount or salary (but for the Employee's
election to defer).
(b) The supplemental pension benefit calculated under Subsection (a)
shall be reduced by any benefit payable under the Company Plan,
calculated as if such benefit is payable in the same form as the benefit
payable under the Supplemental Plan. The calculation will be made by
utilizing methods and assumptions that the Committee deems to be
reasonable.
(c) For purposes of Subsection (a)(2), the subsequent receipt of any
deferred annual bonus amount or salary included in the Employee's Final
Average Compensation under the Company Plan shall not be considered for
purposes of benefit calculation hereunder.
ARTICLE II - GENERAL PROVISIONS OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN
2.1 Survivor Benefits
The pre-retirement surviving spouse benefit provisions and the normal and
optional forms of retirement income provisions which apply under the Company
Plan shall also apply under this Supplemental Plan.
2.2 Forfeiture of Benefits
Any benefit payable under this Supplemental Plan shall be forfeitable in the
event it is found by the Committee that a retired member hereunder, either
during or following termination of employment with the Company, willfully
engaged in any activity which is determined by the Committee to be materially
adverse or detrimental to the interests of the Company, including any activity
which might reasonably be considered by the Committee to be of a nature
warranting dismissal of an employee for cause. If the Committee so finds, it
may suspend benefits to such retired member and, after furnishing notice to
the retired member, may terminate benefits under this Supplemental Plan. The
Committee will consider in its deliberation relative to this provision any
explanation or justification submitted to it in writing by the retired member
within 60 days following the giving of such notice.
Except as heretofore provided for in this Section 2.2, the acceptance by a
retired member of any benefit under this Supplemental Plan shall constitute
an agreement with the provisions of this Supplemental Plan and a
representation that he or she is not engaged or employed in any activity
serving as a basis for suspension or forfeiture of benefits hereunder. The
Committee may require each retired member eligible for a benefit under this
Supplemental Plan to acknowledge in writing prior to payment of such benefit
that he or she will accept payment of benefits under this Supplemental Plan
only if there is no basis for such suspension or forfeiture.
2.3 Administration
This Supplemental Plan shall be administered by the committee (the
"Committee") appointed by the Board of Directors to administer the Company
Plan. The Committee shall administer this Supplemental Plan in a manner
consistent with the administration of the Company Plan, except that this
Supplemental Plan shall be administered as an unfunded plan which is not
intended to meet the qualification requirements of Section 401 of the
Internal Revenue Code. The Committee's decision in all matters involving the
interpretation and application of this Supplemental Plan shall be final.
2.4 Payment of Benefits
Payment of benefits under this Supplemental Plan shall be coincident with and
in the same form as the payment of the limited benefit payments made to the
employee or on his behalf to his beneficiaries under the Company Plan.
2.5 Employees' Rights
An employee's rights, or the rights of an employee's beneficiary, under this
Supplemental Plan, except as to eligibility for a vested benefit and except
as specifically altered by the terms of this Supplemental Plan shall be the
same as such person's rights under the Company Plan, except that such person
shall not be entitled to the payment of any benefits under this Plan from the
trust established under the Company Plan. Benefits under this Supplemental
Plan shall be payable from the general assets of the Company.
2.6 Amendments and Discontinuance
The Company expects to continue this Supplemental Plan indefinitely, but
reserves the right to amend or discontinue it if, in its sole judgment, such
a change is deemed necessary or desirable. However, if the Company should
amend or discontinue this Supplemental Plan, the Company shall be liable for
any benefits accrued under this Supplemental Plan as of the date of such
action. Any change to the Plan which adversely affects a Participant's or
Beneficiary's rights to benefits and/or the amount, form and manner in which
benefits are accrued, vested and/or paid shall not affect the Participant's
or Beneficiary's benefits accrued up to the date of the change. Changes
which adversely affect the Participant's or Beneficiary's rights under the
Plan may only take effect on the adoption date of the change and on a going
forward basis.

deferral, would be paid to him or her in the next following calendar
year by filing the required written election with the Corporate

after the date on which he or she becomes an Eligible Executive.
(c)Once made, a Deferral Election shall become effective
upon approval by the Corporate Executive Compensation Department and is
thereafter irrevocable, except to the extent otherwise provided in
Section 5.2. A Deferral Election will be deemed to have been approved
by the Corporate Executive Compensation Department if it is not

either a percentage or a certain dollar amount of his or her salary
and/or EVC to be deferred under the Plan. In addition, the Deferral
Election must specify the date on which payment of the Eligible

(A) his or her termination of active employment
(including as a result of retirement or disability) with the Corporation; or

during that period to be withheld from such current compensation, the
Eligible Executive shall be notified by the Corporation and shall
provide the Corporation with a check in an amount equal to the
difference between the amount of FICA and other taxes payable by the
Eligible Executive during the period and the amount of compensation

payable to the Eligible Executive during the period and (b) any
additional Federal, state and local income taxes payable by the Eligible
Executive with respect to the reduction in his or her Account Balance

Treatment of Deferred Amounts
4.1 Memorandum Account. The Corporation shall establish on its
books an Account for each Participant. Amounts deferred by a Participant
pursuant to a Deferral Election shall be credited to the Participant's
Account on the date on which the deferred amounts, absent deferral, would
have been paid to the Participant. In addition, as of each Valuation Date,
incremental amounts determined in accordance with Section 4.2 will be
credited or debited to each Participant's Account. Any payments made to or
on behalf of the Participant and for his or her Beneficiary shall be
debited from the Account. No assets shall be segregated or earmarked in
respect to any Account and no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any
right to assign, transfer, pledge or hypothecate his or her interest or any
portion thereof in his or her Account. The Plan and the crediting of
Accounts hereunder shall not constitute a trust or a funded arrangement of
any sort and shall be
merely for the purpose of recording an unsecured contractual obligation
of the Corporation.
4.2 Investment Measurement Options.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2, a
Participant's Account shall be credited or debited with amounts equal to
the amounts that would be earned or lost with respect to the Participant's
Account Balance if amounts equal to that Account Balance were actually
invested in the Investment Measurement Options in the manner specified by
the Participant.
(b) Each Eligible Executive may elect, at the same time as a
Deferral Election is made, to have one or more of the Investment
Measurement Options applied to current deferrals. Such election with
respect to current deferrals may be changed as of the first day of any
month, provided that notice of such election is made prior to the first
day of that month with the Corporate Executive Compensation Department
or its designee.
(c) Subject to the restrictions described in Subsection (d),
a Participant may elect to change the manner in which Investment Measurement
Options apply to existing Account Balances. Such an election will be
effective as of the first day of the month following the date on which an
election is made with the Corporate Executive Compensation Department or
its designee.
(d) The following rules apply to Investment Measurement
Options.
(1) The percentage of a Participant's current deferrals
and/or Account Balance to which a specified Investment Measurement
Option is to be applied must be a multiple of five percent.
(2) To the extent that a Participant has not
specified an Investment Measurement Option to apply to all or a portion of
his or her current deferrals and/or Account Balance, the Insurance
Contract Fund shall be deemed to be the applicable Investment
Measurement Option.
(3) The chosen Investment Measurement Option or Options
shall apply to deferred amounts on and after the date on which such amounts,
absent deferral, would have been paid to the Participant.
(e) The Committee shall have the authority to modify the
rules and restrictions relating to Investment Measurement Options
(including the authority to change such Investment Measurement Options
prospectively) as it, in its discretion, deems necessary and in accord with
the investment practices in place under the USP.
Article V
Payment of Deferred Amounts
5.1 Form and Time of Payment. The benefits to which a
Participant or a Beneficiary may be entitled under the Plan shall be
paid in accordance with this Section 5.1.
(a) All payments under the Plan shall be made in cash.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
payment of a Participant's Account Balance shall commence as of the
Valuation Date next following the date or dates specified in the
Participant's Deferral Election or Elections or (where applicable) the
Participant's Revised Election or Elections; provided, however, that
where the Participant's Deferral Election or Elections or (where
applicable) the Participant's Revised Election or Elections specify that
payments with respect to a Participant's Account Balance are to commence
as of a specified date or specified dates not determined by reference to
the Participant's retirement or other termination of employment and the
Participant terminates employment with the Corporation prior to such
date or dates, payment of the portion of the Participant's Account
Balance that was deferred to such date or dates shall commence as of the
Valuation Date next following the Participant's termination of
employment, but in the same form specified in the Participant's Deferral
Election or Elections or (where applicable) the Participant's Revised
Election or Elections.
(c) All payments shall be made in the form or forms
specified in the Participant's Deferral Election or Elections or (where
applicable) the Participant's Revised Election or Elections.
(d) To the extent a Participant has not specified the form
or time of payment of his or her Account Balance, payment will be made
in a single sum as soon as administratively practicable, but within 90
days, after the first Valuation Date following the Participant's
termination of employment with the Corporation.
(e) Where a Participant has elected payment in the form of
annual installments, each installment payment after the initial
installment payment shall be made on or about March 31 of each year
following the year in which the first installment was paid. With
respect to each Deferral Election made by a Participant, the amount of
each annual installment payment to be made to a Participant or
Beneficiary under such Deferral Election shall be determined by dividing
the portion of the Participant's Account Balance attributable to such
Deferral Election as of the latest Valuation Date preceding the date of
payment by the number of installments remaining to be paid under such
Deferral Election.
(f) Notwithstanding any election made by a Participant,
any portion of a Participant's Account Balance that has not been paid to
the Participant as of the date of his or her death shall be paid to the
Participant's Beneficiary in a single sum as soon as administratively
practicable, but within 90 days, after the Valuation Date following the
date on which the Corporation receives notification of the Participant's
death.

(1) a date for the commencement of the payment of
the Participant's Account Balance that is after the date specified in
the Participant's Deferral Election; and/or
(2) a form of payment that calls for a greater number
of annual installment payments than that specified in the Participant's
Deferral Election, or a number of annual installment payments where the
Participant specified a single sum payment in his or her Deferral Election.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible Executive
may not elect a time of benefit commencement and/or a form of payment to the
extent that such an election would cause any payments to be made after the
March 31 first following the date that is 20 years after the date of the
Eligible Executive's retirement or other termination of employment.
(b) If a Participant has made a Revised Election with
respect to amounts the payment of which has been deferred to a certain
date, the Participant may not thereafter make another Revised Election
with respect to amounts the payment of which, as of the date on which
such Revised Election is made and before giving effect to the Revised
Election, has been deferred to the same date.
(c) To be effective, a Revised Election must be:
(1) made in writing by the Participant on a form
furnished for such purpose by the Corporate Executive Compensation Department;
(2) submitted to the Corporate Executive Compensation
Department on or before the date that is three months and one day before
the date on which the portion of the Participant's Account Balance that
is the subject of the Revised Election would, absent the Revised Election,
first become payable; and

contrary, a Participant may receive payment of all or a portion of his

pursuant to Subsection5.3(a), a Participant will be subject to, and
must elect the application of, one of the following penalties:
(A) payment to the Company of an amount
equal to eight percent of the amount of the payment made pursuant to
Subsection 5.3(a) and suspension of the Participant's further
participation in the Plan or any equivalent plan or plans maintained by

to six percent of the amount of the payment made pursuant to Subsection
5.3(a), and suspension of the Participant's tax-deferred contributions
to the Plan and the USP or any equivalent plan or plans maintained by
the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation for the entire
calendar year that follows the date on which the Participant submits to
the Corporate Executive Compensation Department his or her request for
payment pursuant to Subsection5.3(a).
(2) The payment to the Company specified in
Paragraph 5.3(b)(1) shall generally be deducted from the amount
otherwise payable to the Participant under Subsection 5.3(a).
(c) Where a Participant receives a payment of less than
his or her entire Account Balance pursuant to Subsection 5.3(a), the
portion of the Participant's Account Balance to which each Investment
Measurement Option is applied shall be reduced proportionately so that the
Investment Measurement Options apply to the Participant's Account Balance
in the same percentages immediately before and immediately after the
payment.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary, in the event the Committee determines that any portion of a
Participant's Account Balance is the subject of a final determination by
the Internal Revenue Service that such portion is includible in the
Participant's taxable income, the Participant's Account Balance shall be
distributed to the extent it is so includible. All income taxes and
related interest and penalties associated with credits to or distributions
from a Participant's Account shall be borne by the Participant.
5.4 Acceleration of Payment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee in its sole
discretion may accelerate the payment of Account Balances to all or any
group of similarly situated Participants or Beneficiaries, whether
before or after the Participants' termination of service, in response to
changes in the tax laws or accounting principles.
Article VI
Miscellaneous
6.1 Amendment. The Board may modify or amend, in whole or
in part, any of or all the provisions of the Plan, or suspend or
terminate it entirely; provided, however, that any such modification,
amendment, suspension or termination may not, without the Participant's
consent, adversely affect any deferred amount credited to him or her for
any period prior to the effective date of such modification, amendment,
suspension or termination. The Plan shall remain in effect until
terminated pursuant to this provision.

sole authority to interpret the Plan and in its discretion to establish
and modify administrative rules for the Plan. All expenses and costs in

its provisions enforced and administered in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania except as such laws may be superseded by

eligible to participate in the Directors' Plan, may elect at any time
prior to the date that is three months and one day before the
Participant's termination of employment to transfer all or any portion
of his Account Balance to the Directors' Plan. Such transfer must occur
prior to the date that payments of the Participant's Account Balance
would otherwise be made, or commence, hereunder. Upon transfer, the
Participant's Account Balance (or the portion thereof transferred) will

of payment that is in any way more rapid than the form of payment in
effect under this Plan with respect to such amounts immediately prior to
transfer to the Directors' Plan. Valuation of the Account Balance (or
the portion thereof) to be transferred shall be made consistent with the

on the date on which the deferred amounts, absent deferral, would have been
paid to the Participant. In addition, as of each Valuation Date, incremental
amounts determined in accordance with Section 4.2 will be credited or debited
to each Participant's Account. Any payments made to or on behalf of the
Participant and for his or her Beneficiary shall be debited from the Account.
No assets shall be segregated or earmarked in respect to any Account and no
Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right to assign, transfer, pledge
or hypothecate his or her interest or any portion thereof in his or her
Account. The Plan and the crediting of Accounts hereunder shall not
constitute a trust or a funded arrangement of any sort and shall be merely
for the purpose of recording an unsecured contractual obligation of the
Corporation.
4.2 Investment Measurement Options.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2, a
Participant's Account shall be credited or debited with amounts equal to the
amounts that would be earned or lost with respect to the Participant's
Account Balance if amounts equal to that Account Balance were actually
invested in the Investment Measurement Options in the manner specified by the
Participant.
(b) Each Eligible Director may elect, at the same time as a
Deferral Election is made, to have one or more of the Investment Measurement
Options applied to current deferrals. Such election with respect to current
deferrals may be changed as of the first day of any quarter, provided that
written notice of such election is filed prior to the first day of that
quarter with the Secretary of the Corporation.
(c) Subject to the restrictions described in Subsection (d), a
Participant may elect to change the manner in which Investment Measurement
Options apply to existing Account Balances. Such an election will be
effective as of the first day of the calendar quarter following the date
on which a written election is filed with the Secretary of the
Corporation.
(d) The following rules apply to Investment Measurement Options.
(1) The percentage of a Participant's current deferrals
and/or Account Balance to which a specified Investment Measurement Option is
to be applied must be a multiple of five percent.
(2) To the extent that a Participant has not specified an
Investment Measurement Option to apply to all or a portion of his or her
current deferrals and/or Account Balance, the Insurance Contract Fund shall
be deemed to be the applicable Investment Measurement Option.
(3) The chosen Investment Measurement Option or Options
shall apply to deferred amounts on and after the date on which such amounts,
absent deferral, would have been paid to the Participant.

and restrictions relating to Investment Measurement Options (including the

in its discretion, deems necessary and in accord with the investment practices
in place under the USP.

Article V
Payment of Deferred Amounts
5.1 Form and Time of Payment. The benefits to which a
Participant or a Beneficiary may be entitled under the Plan shall be paid in
accordance with this Section 5.1.
(a) All payments under the Plan shall be made in cash.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
payment of a Participant's Account Balance shall commence as of the Valuation
Date next following the date or dates specified in the Participant's Deferral
Election or Elections or (where applicable) the Participant's Revised
Election or Elections; provided, however, that where the Participant's
Deferral Election or Elections or (where applicable) the Participant's
Revised Election or Elections specify that payments with respect to a
Participant's Account Balance are to commence as of a specified date or
specified dates not determined by reference to the Participant's retirement
or other termination of service and the Participant terminates service with
the Corporation prior to such date or dates, payment of the portion of the
Participant's Account Balance that was deferred to such date or dates shall
commence as of the Valuation Date next following the Participant's
termination of service, but in the same form specified in the Participant's
Deferral Election or Elections or (where applicable) the Participant's
Revised Election or Elections.
(c) All payments shall be made in the form or forms specified in
the Participant's Deferral Election or Elections or (where applicable) the
Participant's Revised Election or Elections.
(d) To the extent a Participant has not specified the form or
time of payment of all or a part of his or her Account Balance, payment of the
amounts not specified will be made in a single sum as soon as administratively
practicable, but within 90 days, after the first Valuation Date following the
Participant's termination of service as a Director.
(e) Where a Participant has elected payment in the form of
annual installments, each installment payment after the initial installment
payment shall be made on or about March 31 of each year following the year
in which the first installment was paid. With respect to each Deferral
Election made by a Participant, the amount of each annual installment payment
to be made to a Participant under such Deferral Election shall be determined
by dividing the portion of the Participant's Account Balance covered by such
Deferral Election as of the latest Valuation Date preceding the date of
payment by the number of installments remaining to be paid under such
Deferral Election.
(f) Notwithstanding any election made by a Participant, any
portion of a Participant's Account Balance that has not been paid to the
Participant as of the date of his or her death shall be paid to the
Participant's Beneficiary in a single sum as soon as administratively
practicable, but within 90 days, after the Valuation Date following the date
on which the Corporation receives notification of the Participant's death.
5.2 Revised Election.
(a) Pursuant to a Revised Election, a Participant may specify:
(1) a date for the commencement of the payment of the
Participant's Account Balance that is after the date specified in the
Participant's Deferral Election; and/or
(2) a form of payment that calls for a greater number of
annual installment payments than that specified in the Participant's Deferral
Election, or a number of annual installment payments where the Participant
specified a single sum payment in his or her Deferral Election.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may not
elect a time of benefit commencement and/or a form of payment to the extent
that such an election would cause any payments to be made after the March 31
first following the date that is 20 years after the date of the Participant's
termination of service as a Director.
(b) If a Participant has made a Revised Election with respect to
amounts the payment of which has been deferred to a certain date, the
Participant may not thereafter make another Revised Election with respect to
amounts the payment of which, as of the date on which such Revised Election
is made and before giving effect to the Revised Election, has been deferred
to the same date.
(c) To be effective, a Revised Election must be:
(1) made in writing by the Participant on a form
furnished for such purpose by the Secretary of the Corporation;
(2) submitted to the Secretary of the Corporation on
or before the date that is three months and one day before the date on which
the portion of the Participant's Account Balance that is the subject of the
Revised Election would, absent the Revised Election, first become payable; and
(3) approved by the Secretary of the Corporation. A
Revised Election will be deemed to have been approved by the Secretary of the
Corporation if it is not disapproved by the Secretary of the Corporation
within ten days of the date on which it is received.
5.3 Special Payment.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
Contrary, a Participant may receive payment of all or a portion of his or
her Account Balance as soon as administratively practicable following the
receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation of the Participant's written
request for such payment.
(b) As a condition of receiving any payment made pursuant to
Subsection 5.3(a), a Participant will be subject to, as a penalty, payment to
the Company of an amount equal to 8 percent of the amount of the payment made
pursuant to Subsection5.3(a) and suspension of the Participant's further
participation in the Plan, the Unisys Corporation Director Stock Unit Plan, or
any equivalent plan or plans maintained by the Corporation or a subsidiary of
the Corporation for the entire full calendar year that follows the date on
which the Participant submits to the Secretary of the Corporation his or her
request for payment pursuant to Subsection 5.3(a). The payment to the Company
shall generally be deducted from the amount otherwise payable to the
Participant under Subsection 5.3(a).
(c) Where a Participant receives a payment of less than his or her
entire Account Balance pursuant to Subsection 5.3(a), the portion of the
Participant's Account Balance to which each Investment Measurement Option is
applied shall be reduced proportionately so that the Investment Measurement
Options apply to the Participant's Account Balance in the same percentage
immediately before and immediately after the payment.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in
the event the Committee determines that any portion of a Participant's Account
Balance is the subject of a determination by the Internal Revenue Service that
such portion is includible in the Participant's taxable income, the
Participant's Account Balance shall be distributed to the extent it is so
includible. All income taxes and related interest and penalties associated
with credits to or distributions from a Participant's Account shall be borne
by the Participant.
5.4 Acceleration of Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee in its sole discretion may
accelerate the payment of Account Balances to all or any group of similarly
situated Participants or Beneficiaries, whether before or after the

or accounting principles.

enforced and administered in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania except as such laws may be superseded by the federal law.

other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Director who is a former

Plan into this Plan. Upon transfer, such amounts shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of this Plan, provided that all elections previously
made under the Officers' Plan with respect to such amounts shall continue in
effect until otherwise modified hereunder. Notwithstanding the payment
election provision described in Article V hereof, in no event may a Director
elect a form of payment with respect to amounts transferred from the
Officers' Plan that is any more rapid than the form of payment in effect
under the Officers' Plan at the time of such transfer.
Article VIII
Change in Control
8.1 Withdrawal Election.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary, in the event of a "change in control," as defined below, each

to the Secretary of the Corporation within the ninety-day period immediately
following the date of the occurrence of the change in control.
(b) If an election is timely made, the Participant(or
Beneficiary) will be entitled to receive, as soon as practicable after the
expiration of the ninety-day period, an amount equal to (1) the full value or
any portion thereof of the Account Balance minus (2) an early withdrawal
penalty equal to 8% of the total value of (1). The Committee, upon advice of
counsel, may modify the early withdrawal penalty described above in any way
it deems appropriate and consistent with the purposes of the Plan.

Participant or Beneficiary after a change in control to enforce or interpret
any provision of the Plan, the Corporation to the extent permitted by
applicable law shall reimburse the Participant (or Beneficiary) for the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in such litigation.
8.3 Change in Control Definition. For purposes of this
Article VIII, a "change in control" shall have the same meaning as is ascribed
to that term under the 1990 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or any successor plan
designated by the Committee.

The computation for 1997 is based on the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares and additional shares assuming the exercise of
stock options. The computation for 1996 is based solely on the weighted
average number of outstanding common shares. Neither period assumes
conversion of the convertible notes or Series A preferred stock since such
conversions would have been antidilutive.
