the end thereof a new Section 4.5 to read as follows:

              "4.5   Notwithstanding anything contained in this Trust and Plan
       to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to Interstate
       Employees:

              (a)    No Interstate Employee shall be considered to be an active
                     participant in the Plan after the Closing Date and will
                     consequently not be able to make salary deferral
                     contributions to this Trust and Plan after the Closing
                     Date.  In addition, each Interstate Employee shall cease to
                     be a participant under this Trust and Plan on the date he
                     ceases to be entitled to any benefit from this Trust and
                     Plan.

              (b)    Interstate Employees shall cease to be employees of the
                     Company or any affiliate on the Closing Date but will not
                     have a 'termination of employment' under this Trust and
                     Plan and will consequently not be entitled to a
                     distribution of their accounts under this Trust and Plan.

              (c)    Each Interstate Employee who has not attained his normal
                     retirement date or has less than five (5) years of vesting
                     service on the Closing Date shall be deemed to have a
                     vested percentage of one hundred percent (100%) on the
                     Closing Date and to have completed five (5) years of
                     vesting service solely for purposes of Section 2.52 hereof
                     on the Closing Date.

              (d)    In the event the Company makes an employer discretionary
                     contribution to this Trust and Plan for the 1999 calendar
                     year, as of December 31, 1999 the employer contribution
                     account of each Interstate Employee who is employed by
                     Interstate Electronics Corporation on December 31, 1999
                     shall be allocated a portion of such contribution in
                     accordance with Section 6.1 hereof; provided, however, that
                     notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Trust and
                     Plan, no Interstate Employee will be allocated any Shares
                     but will instead receive an equivalent amount of cash in
                     lieu of any Shares that would otherwise be allocated.

              (e)    No Interstate Employee may direct the Trustee to purchase
                     any Shares for his accounts on and after the Closing Date.

              (f)    The sale of Interstate Electronics Corporation shall not be
                     deemed to be an 'event of default' under Section 11.2(f)
                     hereof for any Interstate Employee.  During the Transition
                     Period, Interstate Electronics Corporation will withhold
                     any loan repayments due as a result of a loan made to an
                     Interstate Employee under this Trust and Plan.  During the

                     Transition Period such amounts will be forwarded to the
                     Trustee to be applied to the repayment of such loan.

              For purposes of this Section, the following terms shall have the
       following meanings:

                     (i)    'Closing Date' shall mean the Closing Date under the

                            Communications Corporation (as it may be amended
                            from time to time) relating to the sale of
                            Interstate Electronics Corporation by the Company.

                     (ii)   'Interstate Employee' shall mean Richard E. Tierney,
                            J.B. Hemphill, Joseph Knight and any active
                            participant who is employed by Interstate
                            Electronics Corporation on the Closing Date.

                     (iii)  'Transition Period' shall mean, with respect to a
                            loan made to an Interstate Employee under this Trust
                            and Plan, the period commencing on the Closing Date
                            and ending on the date the note representing such
