Item 4. Description of Securities.

<PAGE>
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he or she is a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise. A corporation may indemnify any
such person against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding if the person identified acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interest of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the
case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification
may be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to
the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or another
court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity therefor. Section 78.751 further provides that to the extent a
director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection therewith.
The Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the
"Charter"), provide that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding of the type described
above by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a
director or officer of the Registrant, or is serving at the request of the
Registrant as director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, provided that with
respect to any action, suit or proceeding initiated by a director or officer,
the Registrant shall indemnify such director or officer only if the action,
suit or proceeding was authorized by the Registrant's Board of Directors or is
a suit for enforcement of rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses
in accordance with the procedure therefor prescribed in the Charter.
The Charter also provides that the expenses of directors and officers incurred
as a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, shall be paid by the
Registrant as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the
action, suit or proceeding, provided that if applicable law so requires, the
advance payment of expenses shall be made only upon receipt by the Registrant
of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay all
amounts so advanced in the event it is ultimately determined by a final
decision, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction that the
director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under
the Charter.
<PAGE>
The Registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of its
directors and officers pursuant to which it has indemnified them against
expenses incurred in connection with any claims made against them as a result
of any act, omission, neglect or breach of duty committed or suffered while
acting as a director or officer of the Registrant, or while serving at the
request of the Registrant as a director of officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.
These Indemnification Agreements do not obligate the Registrant to make any
payment in connection with a claim against a director or officer to the extent
that: (a) payment is made under an insurance policy, (b) the director or
officer is otherwise indemnified, (c) the claim is based upon the director or
officer gaining any improper personal profit or advantage to which he or she
is not legally entitled, (d) the claim is for an accounting of profits made
from the purchase or sale by the director or officer of securities of the
Registrant within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 or (e) the claim is brought about or contributed to by the dishonesty
of the director or officer, but only if a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the director or officer establishes that he or she committed acts
of active and deliberate dishonesty, with actual dishonest purpose and intent,
which acts were material to the cause of action so adjudicated. The
Indemnification Agreements provide that the costs and expenses incurred by
directors and officers in defending or investigating any action, suit,
proceeding or investigation will be paid by the Registrant in advance of the
final disposition of the matter upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on
behalf of the director or officer to repay any such amounts if it is
ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification under
the Indemnification Agreement. No such advance will be made by the
Registrant, however, if, within 60 days of a request for such an advance, a
determination is reasonably made by the Board of Directors or independent
legal counsel, based upon the facts known at the time, that it is more likely
than not it will ultimately be determined that the director or officer is not
entitled to indemnification under the Indemnification Agreement.
The Registrant currently maintains an insurance policy which, within the
limits and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, covers certain
expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by directors and officers in
connection with or as a consequence of certain actions, suits or proceedings
that may be brought against them as a result of an act or omission committed
or suffered while acting as a director or officer of the Registrant.

24 Power of Attorney (included on pages 7 and 8 of this Registration
Statement)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to submit the CSC Outsourcing,
Inc. CUTW Hourly Savings Plan, and any amendments thereto to the Internal
Revenue Service in a timely manner and to make all changes required by the
Internal Revenue Service in order to qualify the Plan under Section 401 of the
Internal Revenue Code.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
<PAGE>
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

year, of the amount of the Excess Deferrals allocated to the Plan for such
calendar year and request a distribution of such Excess Deferrals.
(e) In the event that a Participant has requested (or is deemed to have
requested) a distribution of his Excess Deferrals under the Plan, the Excess
Deferrals, together with Earnings thereon, shall be distributed to the
Participant no later than the April 15 following the end of the calendar year
in which the Excess Deferrals were made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Savings Plus Allotments distributable to a Participant pursuant to this
Section 3.07 shall be reduced by the amount of any Savings Plus Allotments
previously distributed to the Participant pursuant to Section 3.08.

Percentage Test)
(a) The Actual Deferral Percentage Test: The Actual Deferral Percentage
for Highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or eligible to become
Participants shall not exceed the Actual Deferral Percentage for all Non-
Highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or eligible to become
Participants multiplied by 1.25.
(b) The "Alternative Test": If the Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly
Compensated Employees who are Participants or eligible to become Participants
does not meet the test described in Section 3.08(a), the following
"alternative test" shall be applied: the Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly
Compensated Employees who are Participants or eligible to become Participants
shall not exceed the lesser of:
<PAGE>
(i) The Actual Deferral Percentage for all Non-Highly Compensated
Employees who are Participants or eligible to become Participants plus two
percentage points; or
(ii) The Actual Deferral Percentage for all Non-Highly Compensated
Employees who are Participants or eligible to become Participants multiplied
by 2.0.
(c) If the Employee Benefits Committee determines that the limitations
described in this Section 3.08 have been exceeded in any Plan Year, the
Employee Benefits Committee shall determine the amount of "Excess
Contributions" for each Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee in
the following manner: The Actual Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated
Employee with the highest Actual Deferral Ratio shall be reduced to the extent
necessary to meet the Actual Deferral Percentage test or to cause such Actual
Deferral Ratio to equal the Actual Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated
Employee with the next highest Actual Deferral Ratio. This process will be
repeated until the Actual Deferral Percentage test is passed.
(d) If, at the end of the Plan Year, a Participant or class of
Participants has Excess Contributions (determined in accordance with Section
3.08(c)), the Employee Benefits Committee may elect, at its discretion, to
pursue one or more of the following courses of action:
(i) The Employee Benefits Committee may cause to be distributed any or
all Excess Contributions, together with Earnings thereon, to the Participant.
Such distribution shall be made before the close of the Plan Year following
the Plan Year in which the Excess Contributions were made and, to the extent
practicable, within 2 1/2 months of the close of the Plan Year in which the
Excess Contributions were made. However, any Excess Contributions for any
Plan Year shall be reduced by any Savings Plus Allotments previously returned
to the Participant under Section 3.07 for that Plan Year. In the event any
Savings Plus Allotments returned under this Section 3.08 were matched by
Company Matching Contributions, such corresponding Company Matching
Contributions, together with Earnings thereon, shall be forfeited and used to
reduce future Company Matching Contributions.
(ii) The Company may make Qualified Nonelective Contributions on behalf
of Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees, or on behalf of a
group of Participants which includes all Participants who are Non-Highly
Compensated Employees, which contributions shall be (A) credited to the
Savings Plus Accounts (or such separate accounts or subaccounts as the
Employee Benefits Committee may deem necessary to establish) of the affected
Participants and (B) included in the calculation of the Actual Deferral Ratio
of the affected Participants.
<PAGE>
(e) The Employee Benefits Committee may implement rules limiting Savings
Plus Allotments that may be made on behalf of any Participant or class of
Participants so that the provisions of this Section 3.08 are satisfied.
3.09 Additional Discrimination Testing Provisions
(a) If any Highly Compensated Employee is either (i) a 5% owner, or (ii)
one of the 10 highest-paid Highly Compensated Employees, then any benefit or
contribution paid to or made on behalf of any member of his "family" shall be
deemed paid to or made on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee for
purposes of Section 3.08 to the extent required under regulations prescribed
by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate under Sections 401(k) and
401(m) of the Code. The contributions required to be aggregated pursuant to
the preceding sentence shall be disregarded in determining the Actual Deferral
Percentage and Actual Contribution Percentage for the group of Non-Highly
Compensated Employees for purposes of Section 3.08. Any return of Excess
Contributions required under Section 3.08 with respect to the family group
shall be made by allocating the Excess Contributions among the Highly
Compensated Employee and the members of his family in proportion to the
contributions made by or on behalf of each family member that is combined.
For purposes of this paragraph, the term "family" means, with respect to any
Employee, such Employee's spouse, lineal ascendants and descendants, and
spouses of such lineal ascendants and descendants.
(b) If any Highly Compensated Employee is a participant of another
qualified plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, other than an
employee stock ownership plan as described in Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code,
under which deferred cash contributions or matching contributions are made on
behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee or under which the Highly
Compensated Employee makes after-tax contributions, the Employee Benefits
Committee shall implement rules, which shall be uniformly applicable to all
Employees similarly situated, to take into account all such contributions for
the Highly Compensated Employee under all such plans in applying the
limitations of Section 3.08.
3.10 Maximum Annual Additions Limitation
In accordance with the provisions of Appendix A attached hereto, the "Annual
Additions" (as defined in Appendix A) to a Participant's Accounts for any Plan
Year, when added to the Participant's Annual Additions for that Plan Year
under any other qualified plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer,
shall not exceed an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) 25% of his
Section 415 Compensation for that Plan Year or (ii) $30,000 multiplied by the
Adjustment Factor.

Except as provided below, at no time shall any contributions (or portions
thereof) revert to the Employer prior to discharge of all liabilities under
the Plan.
(a) The Employer's contributions to the Plan are conditioned upon Section
404 of the Code. If all or part of the Employer's deductions under Section
404 of the Code for contributions to the Plan are disallowed by the Internal
Revenue Service, the portion of the contributions to which that disallowance
applies shall be returned to the Employer without interest but reduced by any
investment loss attributable to those contributions. The return shall be made
within one year after the disallowance of the deduction.
(b) The Employer may recover, without interest, the amount of its
contributions to the Plan made on account of a mistake of fact, reduced by any
investment loss attributable to those contributions, if recovery is made
within one year after the date of those contributions.
(c) In the event that Savings Plus Allotments made under Section 3.01 are
returned to the Employer in accordance with the provisions of this Section
3.11, the elections to reduce Compensation which were made by Participants on
whose behalf those contributions were made shall be void retroactively to the
beginning of the period for which those contributions were made. The Savings
Plus Allotments so returned shall be distributed in cash to those Participants
for whom those contributions were made.

age 70 1/2 or the December 31 following the calendar year in which the
Participant dies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Participant has no surviving
spouse and no designated Beneficiary, distribution of the Participant's
Accounts must be made on or before the December 31 of the fifth full calendar
year following the Participant's death.
(d) (i) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
unless the Participant elects otherwise, in no event can distribution of the
Vested Portion of a Participant's Accounts occur later than 60 days after the
close of the Plan Year in which occurs the later of (i) the Participant's
termination of employment, or (ii) the 65th anniversary of the Participant's
birth.
(ii) In no event shall distribution of a Participant's Accounts begin
later than the April 1 following the calendar year in which he attains age
seventy and one-half (70-1/2). If, however, the Participant attains age
seventy and one-half (70-1/2) prior to January 1, 1988, and does not at any
time after he attains age sixty-six and one-half (66-1/2) own a five percent
(5%) or more interest in the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, the
Participant may delay distribution of his benefits until his actual
retirement.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, all Plan
distributions shall conform to the regulations issued under Section 401(a)(9)
of the Code, including the incidental death benefit provisions of Section
401(a)(9)(G) of the Code. Further, such regulations shall override any Plan
provision that is inconsistent with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.
8.07 Status of Accounts Pending Distribution
In the event that distribution of the Vested Portion of a Participant's
Accounts are delayed in accordance with Section 8.06, such Accounts shall be
invested in the Investment Funds last designated by the Participant in
accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03. A Participant, or Beneficiary in the
event of the Participant's death, may elect to reallocate the Participant's
Accounts among the Investment Funds, in multiples of 1%, in accordance with
Section 4.03(b).

place or places, and at such time or times as the members of the Employee

9.04 Action of Majority
Any act which the Plan authorizes or requires of the Employee Benefits
Committee shall be done by a majority of its members. The action of that

Committee and shall have the same effect for all purposes as if assented to by
all members of the Employee Benefits Committee at the time in office.

No member of the Employee Benefits Committee shall receive any compensation
from the Plan for his services as such. The Company shall purchase such bonds

9.06 Establishment of Rules
Subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Employee Benefits Committee shall
prescribe such forms, make such rules, regulations, interpretations and
computations, and shall take such other action to administer the Plan, as it
may deem appropriate. In administering the Plan, the Employee Benefits
Committee shall act in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner and in full
accordance with any and all laws applicable to the Plan.
9.07 Manner of Administering

interpret and administer the terms of the Plan and to determine eligibility
for benefits and the amount of any such benefits pursuant to the terms of the

effectuate the Plan, and such actions shall be binding and conclusive on all
persons.
9.08 Prudent Conduct

and familiar with such matters would use in a similar situation.
9.09 Service In More Than One Fiduciary Capacity

Employer shall not incur any liability individually or on behalf of any other
individuals or on behalf of the Employer for any act, or failure to act, made
in good faith in relation to the Plan or the funds of the Plan. However, this
limitation shall not act to relieve any such individual or the Employer from a
responsibility or liability for any fiduciary responsibility, obligation or
duty under Part 4, Title I of ERISA.
9.11 Indemnification
The members of the Employee Benefits Committee, members of the Board of
Directors, officers, employees and agents of the Employer shall be indemnified

extent of those funds and to the extent permitted under applicable law;
otherwise from the assets of the Employer.

9.13 Claims and Review Procedures

concerning present or future rights to benefits under the Plan) shall be
submitted to the Employee Benefits Committee in writing. An application for
benefits shall be submitted on the prescribed form and shall be signed by the

specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the provisions of the
Plan on which the denial is based, a description of any information or
material necessary for the applicant to perfect the application, an
explanation of why the material is necessary, and an explanation of the review
procedure under the Plan. The written notice shall be given to the applicant
within a reasonable period of time (not more than 90 days) after the Employee
Benefits Committee receives the application, unless special circumstances
require further time for processing and the applicant is advised of the

Employee Benefits Committee receives the application.
(c) An applicant whose application for benefits was denied in whole or
part, or the applicant's duly authorized representative, may appeal the denial
by submitting to the Employee Benefits Committee a request for a review of the
application within 60 days after receiving written notice of the denial from
the Employee Benefits Committee. The Employee Benefits Committee shall give

materials, other than legally privileged documents, in preparing the request
for a review. The request for a
<PAGE>
review shall be in writing and addressed to the Employee Benefits Committee.
The request for a review shall set forth all of the grounds on which it is
based, all facts in support of the request and any other matters that the
applicant deems pertinent. The Employee Benefits Committee may require the
applicant to submit such additional facts, documents or other materials as it
may deem necessary or appropriate in making its review.
(d) The Employee Benefits Committee shall act on each request for a
review within 60 days after receipt, unless special circumstances require
further time for processing and the applicant is advised of the extension. In
no event shall the decision on review be rendered more than 120 days after the
Employee Benefits Committee receives the request for a review. The Employee
Benefits Committee shall give prompt written notice of its decision to the
applicant. In the event that the Employee Benefits Committee confirms the
denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, the notice shall
set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, the
specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the provisions of
the Plan on which the decision is based.
(e) No legal action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless
and until the claimant (i) has submitted a written application for benefits in
accordance with paragraph (a), (ii) has been notified by the Employee Benefits
Committee that the application is denied, (iii) has filed a written request
for a review of the application in accordance with paragraph (c) and (iv) has
been notified in writing that the Employee Benefits Committee has affirmed the
denial of the application; provided, however, that legal action may be brought
after the Employee Benefits Committee has failed to take any action on the
claim within the time prescribed by paragraphs (b) and (d) above.
Article 10. Management of Funds
10.01 The Trustee
All the funds of the Plan shall be held in the Trust by a Trustee appointed
from time to time by the Company under a trust instrument adopted, or as
amended, by the Company for use in providing the benefits of the Plan and
paying its expenses not paid directly by an Employer. No Employer shall have
any liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan nor for the
administration of the Trust held by the Trustee.
10.02 Exclusive Benefit Rule
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no part of the corpus or income of
the funds of the Plan shall be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than
for the exclusive benefit of Participants and other persons entitled to
benefits under the Plan, and paying Plan expenses not otherwise paid by the
Employer, before the satisfaction of all liabilities with
<PAGE>
respect to them. No person shall have any interest in or right to any part of
the earnings of the Trust, or any right in, or to, any part of the assets held
under the Plan, except as and to the extent expressly provided in the Plan.
10.03 Appointment of Investment Manager
The Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine the investment policy for
the Plan. However, the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint one or
more Investment Managers to manage the assets of the Plan (including the power
to acquire and dispose of all or part of such assets) as the Company shall
designate. In that event, the authority over and responsibility for the
management of the assets so designated shall be the sole responsibility of
that Investment Manager.
Article 11. Amendment, Merger and Termination
11.01 Amendment of the Plan
The Company, by action of its Board of Directors, may at any time and from
time to time, and retroactively if deemed necessary or appropriate, amend in
whole or in part any or all of the provisions of the Plan. However, no
amendment shall make it possible for any part of the funds of the Plan to be
used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of
persons entitled to benefits under the Plan, before the satisfaction of all
liabilities with respect to them. No amendment shall be made which has the
effect of decreasing the Accrued Pension of any Participant or of reducing the
nonforfeitable percentage of the Accrued Pension of a Participant below the
nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan as in effect on the date on
which the amendment is adopted or, if later, the date on which the amendment
becomes effective. No amendment shall be made which affects the rights,
duties or responsibilities of the Trustee unless the Trustee provides written
consent to such amendment.
11.02 Merger or Consolidation
The Company may, in its sole discretion, merge this Plan with another
qualified plan, subject to any applicable legal requirements. However, the
Plan may not be merged or consolidated with, and its assets or liabilities may
not be transferred to, any other plan unless each person entitled to benefits
under the Plan would, if the resulting plan were then terminated, receive a
benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is
equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive
immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer if the Plan had then
terminated.
11.03 Termination of the Plan
The Company, by action of its Board of Directors, may terminate the Plan or
completely discontinue contributions under the Plan for any reason at any
time. In case of
<PAGE>
termination or partial termination of the Plan, or complete discontinuance of
Company contributions to the Plan, the rights of affected Participants to
their Accounts under the Plan as of the date of the termination or
discontinuance shall be nonforfeitable. The total amount in each
Participant's Accounts shall be distributed, as the Employee Benefits
Committee shall direct, to the Participant or for the Participant's benefit or
held in trust for the Participant's benefit.
Article 12. General Provisions
12.01 Nonalienation; Qualified Domestic Relations Orders
(a) Except as required by any applicable law, no benefit under the Plan
shall in any manner be anticipated, assigned or alienated, and any attempt to
do so shall be void. However, payment shall be made in accordance with the
provisions of any Qualified Domestic Relations Order.
(b) An immediate lump sum payment, which is the Actuarial Equivalent of
the series of payments provided for in a Qualified Domestic Relations Order,
shall be made in lieu of the series of payments if the value of the lump sum
payment is $3,500 or less.
12.02 Conditions of Employment Not Affected by Plan
The establishment of the Plan shall not confer any legal rights upon any
Employee or other person for a continuation of employment, nor shall it
interfere with the right of the Employer (which right is hereby reserved) to
discharge any Employee and to treat him without regard to the effect which
that treatment might have upon him as a Participant or potential Participant
of the Plan.
12.03 Facility of Payment
(a) If the Employee Benefits Committee finds that a Participant or other
person entitled to a benefit is unable to care for his affairs because of
illness or accident, the Employee Benefits Committee may direct that any
benefit due him, unless a claim has been made for the benefit by a duly
appointed legal representative, be paid to his spouse, a child, a parent or
other blood relative, or to a person with whom he resides. Any payment so
made shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Plan for that
benefit.
(b) If the Employee Benefits Committee finds that a Participant or other
person entitled to a benefit is a minor, the Employee Benefits Committee may
direct that any benefit due him, unless a claim has been made for the benefit
by a duly appointed legal representative, be paid in the following order of
preference: (i) to the minor's custodial parent(s); (ii) if no custodial
parent of the minor is then
<PAGE>
living, to a custodian selected by the Employee Benefits Committee to hold the
funds for the minor under the Uniform Transfers or Gifts to Minors Act in
effect in the jurisdiction in which the minor resides; (iii) if the Employee
Benefits Committee decides not to select a custodian pursuant to subparagraph
(ii), to the duly appointed and currently acting guardian of the estate of the
minor; or (iv) if no guardian of the estate of the minor is duly appointed or
currently acting within 60 days of the date the amount becomes payable, to the
court having jurisdiction over the estate of the minor.
12.04 Information
(a) Each Participant, Beneficiary or other person entitled to a benefit,
before any benefit shall be payable to him or on his account under the Plan,
shall file with the Employer the information that it shall require to
establish his rights and benefits under the Plan.
(b) If a Participant in his application for retirement income, or in
response to any request by the Employer or Employee Benefits Committee for
information, makes any statement which is erroneous or omits any material fact
or fails before receiving his first payment to correct any information that he
previously incorrectly furnished to the Employer or the Employee Benefits
Committee for its records, the amount of his Pension shall be adjusted on the
basis of the current facts, and the amount of any overpayment or underpayment
made to the Participant shall be deducted from, or added to, his next
succeeding payments as the Employee Benefits Committee shall direct.
12.05 Proof of Death and Right of Beneficiary or Other Person
The Employer may require and rely upon such proof of death and such evidence
of the right of any Beneficiary or other person to receive the value of the
Accounts of a deceased Participant as the Employee Benefits Committee may deem
proper, and its determination of death and of the right of that Beneficiary or
other person to receive payment shall be conclusive.
12.06 Failure to Locate Recipient
In the event that the Employee Benefits Committee is unable to locate a
Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to payment under the Plan within 5
years from the date such payment was to have been made, the amount to which
such Participant or Beneficiary was entitled shall be declared a forfeiture
and shall be used to reduce future Employer contributions to the Plan. If the
Participant or Beneficiary is later located, the benefit which was previously
forfeited hereunder shall be restored by means of an additional Employer
contribution to the Plan, if necessary.
<PAGE>
12.07 Action by the Board of Directors
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors under
the Plan shall be by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors at a meeting
held either in person or by telephone or other electronic means, or by
unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting. The Board of Directors may,
in its discretion, appoint the Executive Committee or another Committee to
take those actions on its behalf which are the responsibility of the Board of
Directors in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
12.08 Construction
(a) The Plan shall be construed, regulated and administered pursuant to
the laws of the State of California, except where ERISA controls.
(b) If any provision of this instrument is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof
shall continue to be fully effective.
(c) The use of the masculine pronoun in this Plan shall include the
feminine pronoun wherever appropriate, and vice versa.
(d) The use of the singular form of a word in this Plan shall include the
plural form wherever appropriate, and vice versa.
(e) The titles and headings of the Articles and Sections in this Plan are
for convenience only. In the case of ambiguity or inconsistency, the text
rather than the titles or headings shall control.

Appendix A. Maximum Annual Additions Limitation
Section 3.10 of the Plan shall be construed in accordance with this Appendix
A. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, words and phrases used in
this Appendix A shall have the same meanings that are assigned to them under
the Plan.
The Plan Year shall be considered a "limitation year" for purposes of this
Appendix A and Section 415 of the Code.
A.01 Definitions
The following words and phrases, when used in this Appendix A with an initial
capital letter, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly
indicates otherwise:
"Annual Additions" on behalf of a Participant under the Plan or any other
qualified plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer for the
Plan Year shall not include loan repayments by the Participant or
contributions to the Participant's Rollover Contributions Account but shall
include:
(a) The total contributions, including Savings Plus Allotments and
Company Matching Contributions, made on behalf of the Participant by the
Employer and all Affiliated Employers under this Plan or any other qualified
Defined Contribution Plan;
(b) With respect to limitation years beginning before 1987, the lesser of
the part of the Participant's contributions in excess of 6% of his Section 415
Compensation or one-half of his total contributions to the Plan or any other
qualified Defined Contribution Plan maintained by the Employer or an
Affiliated Employer;
(c) With respect to Limitation Years beginning after 1986, all of the
Participant's contributions to this Plan or any other qualified Defined
Contribution Plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer;
(d) Forfeitures, if applicable, that have been allocated to the
Participant's Accounts under this Plan or his accounts under any other
qualified Defined Contribution Plan maintained by the Employer or an
Affiliated Employer;
(e) Voluntary or mandatory contributions made by the Participant under
the CSC Outsourcing Inc. CUTW Hourly Savings Plan or another qualified Defined
Benefit Plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer; and
(f) Contributions made on behalf of the Participant to an "individual
medical benefit account" under a pension or annuity plan maintained by the
Employer or an Affiliated Employer, as described, and to the extent required,
under Section 415(l) of the Code.
<PAGE>
"Defined Benefit Plan" means any qualified pension plan which is not a Defined
Contribution Plan; however, in the case of a Defined Benefit Plan which
provides a benefit which is based partly on the balance of the separate
account of a participant, that plan shall be treated as a Defined Contribution
Plan to the extent benefits are based on the separate account of a participant
and as a Defined Benefit Plan with respect to the remaining portion of the
benefits under the plan.
"Defined Benefit Plan Fraction" for any limitation year is a fraction -
(a) The numerator of which is the projected annual benefit of the
Participant (determined as of the close of the limitation year) under all
Defined Benefit Plans maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer;
and
(b) The denominator of which is the lesser of (i) or (ii) below:
(i) The product of 1.25 multiplied by the defined benefit plan dollar
limitation under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code (multiplied by the
Adjustment Factor) in effect for such limitation year; or
(ii) The product of 1.4 multiplied by an amount that is 100% of the
Participant's average Section 415 Compensation for the three consecutive years
in which his Section 415 Compensation was the highest.
"Defined Contribution Plan" means any qualified pension plan which provides
for an individual account for each participant and for benefits based solely
upon the amount contributed to the participant's account, and any income,
expenses, gains and losses, and any forfeitures of accounts of other
participants which may be allocated to that participant's accounts, subject to
the limitations described in the definition of "Defined Benefit Plan" above.
"Defined Contribution Plan Fraction" for any limitation year is a fraction --
(a) The numerator of which is the sum of the Annual Additions made by the
Employer or an Affiliated Employer on behalf of the Participant for such
limitation year and all prior limitation years; and
(b) The denominator of which is the sum of the lesser of (i) or (ii)
below determined for such limitation year and for each prior year of service
with the Employer or an Affiliated Employer:
(i) The product of 1.25 multiplied by the defined contribution plan
dollar limitation under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code (multiplied by the
Adjustment Factor); or
<PAGE>
(ii) The product of 1.4 multiplied by an amount equal to 25% of the
Participant's Section 415 Compensation for such year.
At the direction of the Employee Benefits Committee, the portion of the
denominator of that fraction with respect to limitation years ending before
1983 shall be computed as the denominator for the limitation year ending in
1982, as determined under the law as then in effect, multiplied by a fraction
the numerator of which is the lesser of:
(A) $51,875; or
(B) 1.4 multiplied by 25% of the Participant's Section 415
Compensation for the limitation year ending in 1981;
and the denominator of which is the lesser of:
(A) $41,500; or
(B) 25% of the Participant's Section 415 Compensation for that
limitation year.
A.02 Maximum Annual Additions Limitation
If the Annual Additions to a Participant's Accounts for any Plan Year would
otherwise exceed the limitation set forth in Section 3.10, the excess Annual
Additions to such Participant's Accounts for such Plan Year shall be reduced
in the following order:
(i) The Participant's unmatched Regular Savings Allotments shall be
reduced to the extent necessary. The amount of the reduction, together with
any earnings on the contributions to be returned, shall be returned to the
Participant.
(ii) Next, the Participant's unmatched Savings Plus Allotments shall be
reduced to the extent necessary. The amount of the reduction, together with
any earnings on the contributions to be returned, shall be returned to the
Participant.
(iii) Next, the Participant's matched Regular Savings Allotments and
corresponding Company Matching Contributions shall be reduced to the extent
necessary. The amount of the reduction attributable to the Participant's
matched Regular Savings Allotments, together with any earnings on the
contributions to be returned, shall be returned to the Participant and the
amount attributable to the Company Matching Contributions shall be applied to
reduce subsequent Company Matching Contributions.
(iv) Next, the Participant's matched Savings Plus Allotments and
corresponding Company Matching Contributions shall be reduced to the extent
necessary. The
<PAGE>
amount of the reduction attributable to the Participant's matched Savings Plus
Allotments, together with any earnings on the contributions to be returned,
shall be returned to the Participant and the amount attributable to the
Company Matching Contributions shall be applied to reduce subsequent Company
Matching Contributions.
A.03 Participant in a Defined Benefit Plan
(a) If a Participant under this Plan has at any time participated in a
Defined Benefit Plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, the
sum of the Participant's Defined Benefit Plan Fraction and Defined
Contribution Plan Fraction shall not exceed 1.0.
(b) In the event the sum of a Participant's Defined Benefit Plan Fraction
and Defined Contribution Plan Fraction exceeds 1.0, his benefits under, and
contributions to, all plans shall be accomplished by first reducing the
benefits otherwise payable to the Participant under the CSC Outsourcing Inc.
CUTW Hourly Retirement Plan or any other Defined Benefit Plan in which the
Participant participates (in the manner and priority set forth in such plans),
and second by reducing the contributions made on behalf of the Participant to
the Plan or any other Defined Contribution Plans in which the Participant
participates in such priority as shall be determined by the Employee Benefits
Committee for the Plan and the administrators of such other plans. The
necessary reductions may, however, be made in a different manner and priority
pursuant to the agreement of the Employee Benefits Committee for the Plan and
the administrators of all other plans in which the Participant participates.

provided that the Participant (or Eligible Employee) pays over such amount to
the Trustee on or before the 60th day after the day it was received by the
Participant (or Eligible Employee);
(ii) An "eligible rollover distribution," as defined in Section

plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code; and
<PAGE>
(iii) A distribution described in Section 408(d)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code

retirement account or annuity paid to the Participant (or Eligible Employee)
provided that the Participant (or Eligible Employee) pays over such amount to

in any calendar year exceed $7,000 multiplied by the Adjustment Factor.
(b) If a Participant's Savings Plus Allotments in a calendar year reach
the dollar limitation under Section 3.07(a), his election of Savings Plus
Allotments for the remainder of the calendar year shall be canceled. As of
the first day of the first payroll period of the following calendar year, the
Participant's election of Savings Plus Allotments shall again become effective
in accordance with his previous election.
(c) If the sum of the Participant's Savings Plus Allotments and pre-tax
contributions to any other defined contribution plan maintained by the
Employer or an Affiliated Employer exceeds the dollar limitation described in
Section 3.07(a) for any calendar year, the Participant shall be deemed to have
requested, by the first
<PAGE>
March 1 following the end of the calendar year, a distribution of the excess
("Excess Deferrals") over such dollar limitation.
(d) If a Participant makes pre-tax contributions under another qualified
defined contribution plan, simplified employee pension plan or tax sheltered
annuity maintained by an employer other than the Employer or an Affiliated
Employer for any calendar year and those contributions when added to his
Savings Plus Allotments under this Plan exceed the dollar limitation under
Section 3.07(a) (or, with respect to the tax-sheltered annuity, $9,500) for
that calendar year, the Participant may allocate all or a portion of such
Excess Deferrals to the Plan. The Participant must, however, notify the
Employee Benefits Committee, in writing, by March 1 of the following calendar
year, of the amount of the Excess Deferrals allocated to the Plan for such
calendar year and request a distribution of such Excess Deferrals.
(e) In the event that a Participant has requested (or is deemed to have
requested) a distribution of his Excess Deferrals under the Plan, the Excess
Deferrals, together with Earnings thereon, shall be distributed to the
Participant no later than the April 15 following the end of the calendar year
in which the Excess Deferrals were made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Savings Plus Allotments distributable to a Participant pursuant to this
Section 3.07 shall be reduced by the amount of any Savings Plus Allotments
previously distributed to the Participant pursuant to Section 3.08.
(f) In the event any Savings Plus Allotments returned under this Section
3.07 were matched by Company Matching Contributions, such corresponding
Company Matching Contributions, together with Earnings thereon, shall be
forfeited and used to reduce future Company Matching Contributions.
3.08 Section 401(k) Limitation on Savings Plus Allotments (Actual Deferral
Percentage Test)
(a) The Actual Deferral Percentage Test: The Actual Deferral Percentage
for Highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or eligible to become
Participants shall not exceed the Actual Deferral Percentage for all Non-
Highly Compensated Employees who are Participants or eligible to become
Participants multiplied by 1.25.
(b) The "Alternative Test": If the Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly
Compensated Employees who are Participants or eligible to become Participants
does not meet the test described in Section 3.08(a), the following
"alternative test" shall be applied: the Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly
Compensated Employees who are Participants or eligible to become Participants
shall not exceed the lesser of:
<PAGE>
(i) The Actual Deferral Percentage for all Non-Highly Compensated
Employees who are Participants or eligible to become Participants plus two
percentage points; or
(ii) The Actual Deferral Percentage for all Non-Highly Compensated
Employees who are Participants or eligible to become Participants multiplied
by 2.0.
(c) If the Employee Benefits Committee determines that the limitations
described in this Section 3.08 have been exceeded in any Plan Year, the
Employee Benefits Committee shall determine the amount of "Excess
Contributions" for each Participant who is a Highly Compensated Employee in
the following manner: The Actual Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated
Employee with the highest Actual Deferral Ratio shall be reduced to the extent
necessary to meet the Actual Deferral Percentage test or to cause such Actual
Deferral Ratio to equal the Actual Deferral Ratio of the Highly Compensated
Employee with the next highest Actual Deferral Ratio. This process will be
repeated until the Actual Deferral Percentage test is passed.
(d) If, at the end of the Plan Year, a Participant or class of
Participants has Excess Contributions (determined in accordance with Section
3.08(c)), the Employee Benefits Committee may elect, at its discretion, to
pursue one or more of the following courses of action:
(i) The Employee Benefits Committee may cause to be distributed any or
all Excess Contributions, together with Earnings thereon, to the Participant.
Such distribution shall be made before the close of the Plan Year following
the Plan Year in which the Excess Contributions were made and, to the extent
practicable, within 2 1/2 months of the close of the Plan Year in which the
Excess Contributions were made. However, any Excess Contributions for any
Plan Year shall be reduced by any Savings Plus Allotments previously returned
to the Participant under Section 3.07 for that Plan Year. In the event any
Savings Plus Allotments returned under this Section 3.08 were matched by
Company Matching Contributions, such corresponding Company Matching
Contributions, together with Earnings thereon, shall be forfeited and used to
reduce future Company Matching Contributions.
(ii) The Company may make Qualified Nonelective Contributions on behalf
of Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees, or on behalf of a
group of Participants which includes all Participants who are Non-Highly
Compensated Employees, which contributions shall be (A) credited to the
Savings Plus Accounts (or such separate accounts or subaccounts as the
Employee Benefits Committee may deem necessary to establish) of the affected
Participants and (B) included in the calculation of the Actual Deferral Ratio
of the affected Participants.
<PAGE>
(e) The Employee Benefits Committee may implement rules limiting Savings
Plus Allotments that may be made on behalf of any Participant or class of
Participants so that the provisions of this Section 3.08 are satisfied.
3.09 Additional Discrimination Testing Provisions
(a) If any Highly Compensated Employee is either (i) a 5% owner, or (ii)
one of the 10 highest-paid Highly Compensated Employees, then any benefit or
contribution paid to or made on behalf of any member of his "family" shall be
deemed paid to or made on behalf of such Highly Compensated Employee for
purposes of Section 3.08 to the extent required under regulations prescribed
by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate under Sections 401(k) and
401(m) of the Code. The contributions required to be aggregated pursuant to
the preceding sentence shall be disregarded in determining the Actual Deferral
Percentage and Actual Contribution Percentage for the group of Non-Highly
Compensated Employees for purposes of Section 3.08. Any return of Excess
Contributions required under Section 3.08 with respect to the family group
shall be made by allocating the Excess Contributions among the Highly
Compensated Employee and the members of his family in proportion to the
contributions made by or on behalf of each family member that is combined.
For purposes of this paragraph, the term "family" means, with respect to any
Employee, such Employee's spouse, lineal ascendants and descendants, and
spouses of such lineal ascendants and descendants.
(b) If any Highly Compensated Employee is a participant of another
qualified plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, other than an
employee stock ownership plan as described in Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code,
under which deferred cash contributions or matching contributions are made on
behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee or under which the Highly
Compensated Employee makes after-tax contributions, the Employee Benefits
Committee shall implement rules, which shall be uniformly applicable to all
Employees similarly situated, to take into account all such contributions for
the Highly Compensated Employee under all such plans in applying the
limitations of Section 3.08.
3.10 Maximum Annual Additions Limitation
In accordance with the provisions of Appendix A attached hereto, the "Annual
Additions" (as defined in Appendix A) to a Participant's Accounts for any Plan
Year, when added to the Participant's Annual Additions for that Plan Year
under any other qualified plan of the Employer or an Affiliated Employer,
shall not exceed an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) 25% of his
Section 415 Compensation for that Plan Year or (ii) $30,000 multiplied by the
Adjustment Factor.

404 of the Code. If all or part of the Employer's deductions under Section
404 of the Code for contributions to the Plan are disallowed by the Internal
Revenue Service, the portion of the contributions to which that disallowance
applies shall be returned to the Employer without interest but reduced by any
investment loss attributable to those contributions. The return shall be made
within one year after the disallowance of the deduction.
(b) The Employer may recover, without interest, the amount of its
contributions to the Plan made on account of a mistake of fact, reduced by any
investment loss attributable to those contributions, if recovery is made
within one year after the date of those contributions.
(c) In the event that Savings Plus Allotments made under Section 3.01 are
returned to the Employer in accordance with the provisions of this Section
3.11, the elections to reduce Compensation which were made by Participants on
whose behalf those contributions were made shall be void retroactively to the
beginning of the period for which those contributions were made. The Savings
Plus Allotments so returned shall be distributed in cash to those Participants
for whom those contributions were made.

in this Section 8.04(d) is furnished to the Participant (or Beneficiary) and
during the 90-day election period preceding the Participant's (or
Beneficiary's) annuity commencement date.
(d) An election of an annuity form of benefit may be revoked on a form
provided by the Employer, and subsequent elections and revocations may be made
at any time and from time to time during the applicable election period. An
election of an annuity form of benefit shall be effective on the Participant's
(or Beneficiary's) annuity commencement date. A revocation of any election
shall be effective when the completed form is filed with the Employer. If a
Participant who has elected an annuity form of benefit dies before the date
the election becomes effective, the election shall be revoked.
(e) If a Participant elects an annuity form of benefit, the Employer
shall direct the Trustee to provide the annuity form of benefit by purchasing
a single premium annuity contract from an insurance company. Such annuity
contract may either be held by the Trustee as owner or as a non-transferable
annuity contract which may be distributed to the Participant, his surviving
spouse or Beneficiary in complete satisfaction of the benefits above provided
and in full discharge of all liability of the Employer and Trustee hereunder.
8.05 Method of Payment for Eligible Rollover Distributions
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a
Distributee is entitled to receive an Eligible Rollover Distribution which
exceeds $200, the Distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner
prescribed by the Employee Benefits Committee, and in accordance with this
Section 8.05, to have his Eligible Rollover Distribution paid in accordance
with one of the following methods:
(i) All of the Eligible Rollover distribution shall be paid directly
to the Distributee;
(ii) All of the Eligible Rollover Distribution shall be paid as a
Direct Rollover to the Eligible Retirement Plan designated by the Distributee;
or
<PAGE>
(iii) The portion of the Eligible Rollover Distribution designated by
the Participant, which portion shall be at least $500, shall be paid as a
Direct Rollover to the Eligible Retirement Plan designated by the Distributee
and the balance of the Eligible Rollover Distribution shall be paid directly
to the Distributee.
(b) No less than 30 days and no more than 90 days prior to the
Distributee's Plan benefit commencement date, the Employer shall provide the
Distributee with an election form and a notice that satisfies the requirements
of Section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Income Tax Regulations and Section 402(f) of
the Code. In the event the Distributee does not return the signed election
form by his Plan benefit commencement date, he shall be deemed to have elected
the method of payment described in Section 8.05(a)(i).
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.05(b), distributions paid
in accordance with Section 8.05(a) may commence less than 30 days after the
material described in Section 8.05(b) is given to the Distributee provided
that:
(i) The Distributee is notified that he has the right to a period of
at least 30 days after receipt of the material to consider whether or not to
elect a distribution; and
(ii) After receipt of such notification, he affirmatively elects to
receive a distribution.
(d) The following definitions apply to the terms used in this Section
8.05:
(i) "Eligible Rollover Distribution" means any distribution of all or
any portion of the balance to the credit of the Distributee, except that an
Eligible Rollover Distribution does not include:
(A) Any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal
periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or
life expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life
expectancies) of the Distributee and the Distributee's designated beneficiary,
or for a specified period of ten years or more;
(B) Any distribution to the extent such distribution is required
under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code;
(C) The portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross
income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized
appreciation with respect to employer securities); and
<PAGE>
(D) Any other type of distribution that the Internal Revenue Service
announces (pursuant to regulation, notice or otherwise) is not an Eligible
Rollover Distribution pursuant to Section 402(c) of the Code.
(ii) "Eligible Retirement Plan" means an individual retirement account
described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity
described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section
403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the
Code, that accepts the Distributee's Eligible Rollover Distribution. However,
in the case of an Eligible Rollover Distribution to the surviving spouse, an
Eligible Retirement Plan is an individual retirement account or individual
retirement annuity.
(iii) "Distributee" includes an Employee or former Employee. In
addition, the Employee's or former Employee's surviving spouse and the
Employee's or former Employee's spouse or former spouse who is the "alternate

Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.
8.06 Timing of Distribution
(a) In the event that the value of the Vested Portion of the

coincident with or immediately following the Participant's termination of
employment, distribution or commencement of distribution of the Vested Portion
of the Participant's Accounts shall be made as soon as administratively
practicable following the Participant's termination of employment.
(b) In the event that the value of the Vested Portion of the
Participant's Accounts is more than $3,500 as of the Valuation Date coincident
with or immediately following the Participant's termination of employment,
payment of his distribution shall automatically be delayed to the date that
the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a Participant may, in accordance with such procedures as the Employee Benefits
Committee prescribes, elect to have the distribution of the Vested Portion of
his Accounts made or commence as of any Valuation Date coincident with or
following his termination of employment and coincident with or before the date
that the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age.
(c) Upon the Participant's death prior to commencement of benefits, his
Beneficiary may elect to commence distribution as soon as administratively
feasible after any
<PAGE>
Valuation Date that next follows the Participant's date of death but in no
event later than either Section 8.06(c)(i) or 8.06(c)(ii):
(i) If the Beneficiary is not the Participant's spouse, the December
31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant
dies; or
(ii) If the Beneficiary is the Participant's spouse, the later of the
December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained
age 70 1/2 or the December 31 following the calendar year in which the
Participant dies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Participant has no surviving
spouse and no designated Beneficiary, distribution of the Participant's
Accounts must be made on or before the December 31 of the fifth full calendar
year following the Participant's death.
(d) (i) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
unless the Participant elects otherwise, in no event can distribution of the
Vested Portion of a Participant's Accounts occur later than 60 days after the
close of the Plan Year in which occurs the later of (i) the Participant's
termination of employment, or (ii) the 65th anniversary of the Participant's
birth.
(ii) In no event shall distribution of a Participant's Accounts begin
later than the April 1 following the calendar year in which he attains age
seventy and one-half (70-1/2). If, however, the Participant attains age
seventy and one-half (70-1/2) prior to January 1, 1988, and does not at any
time after he attains age sixty-six and one-half (66-1/2) own a five percent
(5%) or more interest in the Employer or an Affiliated Employer, the
Participant may delay distribution of his benefits until his actual
retirement.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, all Plan
distributions shall conform to the regulations issued under Section 401(a)(9)
of the Code, including the incidental death benefit provisions of Section
401(a)(9)(G) of the Code. Further, such regulations shall override any Plan
provision that is inconsistent with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code.
8.07 Status of Accounts Pending Distribution
In the event that distribution of the Vested Portion of a Participant's
Accounts are delayed in accordance with Section 8.06, such Accounts shall be
invested in the Investment Funds last designated by the Participant in
accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03. A Participant, or Beneficiary in the
event of the Participant's death, may elect to reallocate the Participant's
Accounts among the Investment Funds, in multiples of 1%, in accordance with
Section 4.03(b).

Article 10. Management of Funds
10.01 The Trustee
All the funds of the Plan shall be held in the Trust by a Trustee appointed
from time to time by the Company under a trust instrument adopted, or as
amended, by the Company for use in providing the benefits of the Plan and
paying its expenses not paid directly by an Employer. No Employer shall have
any liability for the payment of benefits under the Plan nor for the
administration of the Trust held by the Trustee.
10.02 Exclusive Benefit Rule
Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no part of the corpus or income of
the funds of the Plan shall be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than
for the exclusive benefit of Participants and other persons entitled to
benefits under the Plan, and paying Plan expenses not otherwise paid by the
Employer, before the satisfaction of all liabilities with
<PAGE>
respect to them. No person shall have any interest in or right to any part of
the earnings of the Trust, or any right in, or to, any part of the assets held
under the Plan, except as and to the extent expressly provided in the Plan.
10.03 Appointment of Investment Manager
The Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine the investment policy for
the Plan. However, the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint one or
more Investment Managers to manage the assets of the Plan (including the power
to acquire and dispose of all or part of such assets) as the Company shall
designate. In that event, the authority over and responsibility for the
management of the assets so designated shall be the sole responsibility of
that Investment Manager.
Article 11. Amendment, Merger and Termination
11.01 Amendment of the Plan
The Company, by action of its Board of Directors, may at any time and from
time to time, and retroactively if deemed necessary or appropriate, amend in
whole or in part any or all of the provisions of the Plan. However, no
amendment shall make it possible for any part of the funds of the Plan to be
used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of
persons entitled to benefits under the Plan, before the satisfaction of all
liabilities with respect to them. No amendment shall be made which has the
effect of decreasing the Accrued Pension of any Participant or of reducing the
nonforfeitable percentage of the Accrued Pension of a Participant below the
nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan as in effect on the date on
which the amendment is adopted or, if later, the date on which the amendment
becomes effective. No amendment shall be made which affects the rights,
duties or responsibilities of the Trustee unless the Trustee provides written
consent to such amendment.
11.02 Merger or Consolidation
The Company may, in its sole discretion, merge this Plan with another
qualified plan, subject to any applicable legal requirements. However, the
Plan may not be merged or consolidated with, and its assets or liabilities may
not be transferred to, any other plan unless each person entitled to benefits
under the Plan would, if the resulting plan were then terminated, receive a
benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is
equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive
immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer if the Plan had then
terminated.
11.03 Termination of the Plan
The Company, by action of its Board of Directors, may terminate the Plan or
completely discontinue contributions under the Plan for any reason at any
time. In case of
<PAGE>
termination or partial termination of the Plan, or complete discontinuance of
Company contributions to the Plan, the rights of affected Participants to
their Accounts under the Plan as of the date of the termination or
discontinuance shall be nonforfeitable. The total amount in each
Participant's Accounts shall be distributed, as the Employee Benefits
Committee shall direct, to the Participant or for the Participant's benefit or
held in trust for the Participant's benefit.
Article 12. General Provisions
12.01 Nonalienation; Qualified Domestic Relations Orders
(a) Except as required by any applicable law, no benefit under the Plan
shall in any manner be anticipated, assigned or alienated, and any attempt to
do so shall be void. However, payment shall be made in accordance with the
provisions of any Qualified Domestic Relations Order.
(b) An immediate lump sum payment, which is the Actuarial Equivalent of
the series of payments provided for in a Qualified Domestic Relations Order,
shall be made in lieu of the series of payments if the value of the lump sum
payment is $3,500 or less.
12.02 Conditions of Employment Not Affected by Plan
The establishment of the Plan shall not confer any legal rights upon any
Employee or other person for a continuation of employment, nor shall it
interfere with the right of the Employer (which right is hereby reserved) to
discharge any Employee and to treat him without regard to the effect which
that treatment might have upon him as a Participant or potential Participant
of the Plan.
12.03 Facility of Payment
(a) If the Employee Benefits Committee finds that a Participant or other
person entitled to a benefit is unable to care for his affairs because of
illness or accident, the Employee Benefits Committee may direct that any
benefit due him, unless a claim has been made for the benefit by a duly
appointed legal representative, be paid to his spouse, a child, a parent or
other blood relative, or to a person with whom he resides. Any payment so
made shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Plan for that
benefit.
(b) If the Employee Benefits Committee finds that a Participant or other
person entitled to a benefit is a minor, the Employee Benefits Committee may
direct that any benefit due him, unless a claim has been made for the benefit
by a duly appointed legal representative, be paid in the following order of
preference: (i) to the minor's custodial parent(s); (ii) if no custodial
parent of the minor is then
<PAGE>
living, to a custodian selected by the Employee Benefits Committee to hold the
funds for the minor under the Uniform Transfers or Gifts to Minors Act in
effect in the jurisdiction in which the minor resides; (iii) if the Employee
Benefits Committee decides not to select a custodian pursuant to subparagraph
(ii), to the duly appointed and currently acting guardian of the estate of the
minor; or (iv) if no guardian of the estate of the minor is duly appointed or
currently acting within 60 days of the date the amount becomes payable, to the
court having jurisdiction over the estate of the minor.
12.04 Information
(a) Each Participant, Beneficiary or other person entitled to a benefit,
before any benefit shall be payable to him or on his account under the Plan,
shall file with the Employer the information that it shall require to
establish his rights and benefits under the Plan.
(b) If a Participant in his application for retirement income, or in
response to any request by the Employer or Employee Benefits Committee for
information, makes any statement which is erroneous or omits any material fact
or fails before receiving his first payment to correct any information that he
previously incorrectly furnished to the Employer or the Employee Benefits
Committee for its records, the amount of his Pension shall be adjusted on the
basis of the current facts, and the amount of any overpayment or underpayment
made to the Participant shall be deducted from, or added to, his next
succeeding payments as the Employee Benefits Committee shall direct.
12.05 Proof of Death and Right of Beneficiary or Other Person
The Employer may require and rely upon such proof of death and such evidence
of the right of any Beneficiary or other person to receive the value of the
Accounts of a deceased Participant as the Employee Benefits Committee may deem
proper, and its determination of death and of the right of that Beneficiary or
other person to receive payment shall be conclusive.
12.06 Failure to Locate Recipient
In the event that the Employee Benefits Committee is unable to locate a
Participant or Beneficiary who is entitled to payment under the Plan within 5
years from the date such payment was to have been made, the amount to which
such Participant or Beneficiary was entitled shall be declared a forfeiture
and shall be used to reduce future Employer contributions to the Plan. If the
Participant or Beneficiary is later located, the benefit which was previously
forfeited hereunder shall be restored by means of an additional Employer
contribution to the Plan, if necessary.
<PAGE>
12.07 Action by the Board of Directors
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors under
the Plan shall be by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors at a meeting
held either in person or by telephone or other electronic means, or by
unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting. The Board of Directors may,
in its discretion, appoint the Executive Committee or another Committee to
take those actions on its behalf which are the responsibility of the Board of
Directors in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
12.08 Construction
(a) The Plan shall be construed, regulated and administered pursuant to
the laws of the State of California, except where ERISA controls.
(b) If any provision of this instrument is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof
shall continue to be fully effective.
(c) The use of the masculine pronoun in this Plan shall include the
feminine pronoun wherever appropriate, and vice versa.
(d) The use of the singular form of a word in this Plan shall include the
plural form wherever appropriate, and vice versa.
(e) The titles and headings of the Articles and Sections in this Plan are
for convenience only. In the case of ambiguity or inconsistency, the text
rather than the titles or headings shall control.

Appendix A. Maximum Annual Additions Limitation
Section 3.10 of the Plan shall be construed in accordance with this Appendix
A. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, words and phrases used in
this Appendix A shall have the same meanings that are assigned to them under
the Plan.
The Plan Year shall be considered a "limitation year" for purposes of this
Appendix A and Section 415 of the Code.
A.01 Definitions
The following words and phrases, when used in this Appendix A with an initial
capital letter, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly
indicates otherwise:
"Annual Additions" on behalf of a Participant under the Plan or any other
qualified plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer for the
Plan Year shall not include loan repayments by the Participant or
contributions to the Participant's Rollover Contributions Account but shall
include:
(a) The total contributions, including Savings Plus Allotments and
Company Matching Contributions, made on behalf of the Participant by the
Employer and all Affiliated Employers under this Plan or any other qualified
Defined Contribution Plan;
(b) With respect to limitation years beginning before 1987, the lesser of
the part of the Participant's contributions in excess of 6% of his Section 415
Compensation or one-half of his total contributions to the Plan or any other
qualified Defined Contribution Plan maintained by the Employer or an
Affiliated Employer;
(c) With respect to Limitation Years beginning after 1986, all of the
Participant's contributions to this Plan or any other qualified Defined
Contribution Plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer;
(d) Forfeitures, if applicable, that have been allocated to the
Participant's Accounts under this Plan or his accounts under any other
qualified Defined Contribution Plan maintained by the Employer or an
Affiliated Employer;
(e) Voluntary or mandatory contributions made by the Participant under
the CSC Outsourcing Inc. CUTW Hourly Savings Plan or another qualified Defined
Benefit Plan maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer; and
(f) Contributions made on behalf of the Participant to an "individual
medical benefit account" under a pension or annuity plan maintained by the
Employer or an Affiliated Employer, as described, and to the extent required,
under Section 415(l) of the Code.
<PAGE>
"Defined Benefit Plan" means any qualified pension plan which is not a Defined
Contribution Plan; however, in the case of a Defined Benefit Plan which
provides a benefit which is based partly on the balance of the separate
account of a participant, that plan shall be treated as a Defined Contribution
Plan to the extent benefits are based on the separate account of a participant
and as a Defined Benefit Plan with respect to the remaining portion of the
benefits under the plan.
"Defined Benefit Plan Fraction" for any limitation year is a fraction -
(a) The numerator of which is the projected annual benefit of the
Participant (determined as of the close of the limitation year) under all
Defined Benefit Plans maintained by the Employer or an Affiliated Employer;
and
(b) The denominator of which is the lesser of (i) or (ii) below:
(i) The product of 1.25 multiplied by the defined benefit plan dollar
limitation under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code (multiplied by the
Adjustment Factor) in effect for such limitation year; or
(ii) The product of 1.4 multiplied by an amount that is 100% of the
Participant's average Section 415 Compensation for the three consecutive years
in which his Section 415 Compensation was the highest.
"Defined Contribution Plan" means any qualified pension plan which provides
for an individual account for each participant and for benefits based solely
upon the amount contributed to the participant's account, and any income,
expenses, gains and losses, and any forfeitures of accounts of other
participants which may be allocated to that participant's accounts, subject to
the limitations described in the definition of "Defined Benefit Plan" above.
"Defined Contribution Plan Fraction" for any limitation year is a fraction --
(a) The numerator of which is the sum of the Annual Additions made by the
Employer or an Affiliated Employer on behalf of the Participant for such
limitation year and all prior limitation years; and
(b) The denominator of which is the sum of the lesser of (i) or (ii)
below determined for such limitation year and for each prior year of service
with the Employer or an Affiliated Employer:
(i) The product of 1.25 multiplied by the defined contribution plan
dollar limitation under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code (multiplied by the
Adjustment Factor); or
<PAGE>
(ii) The product of 1.4 multiplied by an amount equal to 25% of the
Participant's Section 415 Compensation for such year.
At the direction of the Employee Benefits Committee, the portion of the
denominator of that fraction with respect to limitation years ending before
1983 shall be computed as the denominator for the limitation year ending in
1982, as determined under the law as then in effect, multiplied by a fraction
the numerator of which is the lesser of:
(A) $51,875; or
(B) 1.4 multiplied by 25% of the Participant's Section 415
