Section I.
Eligibility

All Employees, Surviving Spouses and beneficiaries of Employees eligible to
receive Pension benefits under the GE Pension Plan shall be eligible to receive
excess benefits under this Plan in accordance with Section II.

Section II.
Excess Benefits

The amount of the Excess Benefit payable under this Plan to an Employee,
Surviving Spouse or beneficiary shall be equal to the excess (if any) of:

a.
the Pension, survivor benefit or death benefit that the Employee, Surviving
Spouse or beneficiary would have received under the GE Pension Plan as a result
of the retirement or death of the Employee but for the limitations on such
benefit imposed by the GE Pension Plan pursuant to Section 415 of the Code, over

b.
the Pension, survivor benefit or death benefit that the Employee, Surviving
Spouse or beneficiary receives under the GE Pension Plan.

For all periods during which this Plan is in effect and regardless of whether
the Employee’s termination of Service date occurs on, before or after July 1,
2003, in no event shall an individual be entitled to receive more benefits from
this Plan and the GE Pension Plan combined than he would have been entitled to
receive from the GE Pension Plan alone without application of the limits of
Section 415 of the Code referred to in Section II.a. above.

Section III.
Payment of Excess Benefits

1.
All Excess Benefits provided for hereunder shall be paid in the same form and
manner as the benefits payable to such Employee, Surviving Spouse or beneficiary
under the GE Pension Plan.

This Plan shall be administered by the Pension Board, which shall have authority
in its sole discretion to make, amend, interpret and enforce rules and
regulations for the administration of this Plan and decide or resolve in its
sole discretion any and all questions which may arise in connection with this
Plan.

Section VI.
Amendment and Termination

The Company reserves the right, by action of the General Electric Company Board
of Directors, to amend, modify or terminate, either retroactively or
prospectively, any or all of the provisions of this Plan; provided, however,
that no such action on its part shall adversely affect the rights of an
Employee, his Surviving Spouse or beneficiaries without the consent of such
Employee (or his Surviving Spouse or beneficiaries, if the Employee is deceased)
with respect to any benefits accrued under this Plan prior to the date of such
amendment, modification or termination of the Plan if the Employee has at that
time a non-forfeitable right to benefits under Section XII of the GE Pension
Plan.

Section VII.
General Conditions

1.
The Excess Benefits payable under this Plan shall be paid by the Company out of
its general assets and shall not be funded in any manner. The obligations that
the Company incurs under this Plan shall be subject to the claims of the
Company’s other creditors having priority as to the Company’s assets.

2.
Except as to withholding of any tax under the laws of the United States or any
state or locality, no Excess Benefit payable at any time hereunder shall be
subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
attachment or other legal process, or encumbrance of any kind. Any attempt to
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber any such Excess
Benefit, whether currently or thereafter payable hereunder, shall be void.

3.
No Employee and no other person shall have any legal or equitable rights or
interest in this Plan that are not expressly granted in this Plan. Participation
in this Plan does not give any person any right to be retained in the Service of
his Employer. The right and power of the Company to dismiss or discharge any
Employee is expressly reserved.

4.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section I, employees who are represented by a
union (pursuant to a certification by the National Labor Relations Board or
otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 of the National Labor
Relations Act) shall become eligible to participate in this Plan (a) only after
the Company and such union shall have entered into a written agreement to the
effect that the Plan shall be offered to the employees so represented, and (b)
only in accordance with any conditions or requirements contained in such
agreement; provided, however, that whenever employees who are eligible for the
Plan choose a bargaining agent (pursuant to NLRB certification), they shall
continue to be eligible unless and until the certified agent gives notice to the
Company that it does not wish such eligibility to continue.

5.
All terms used in this Plan which are defined in the GE Pension Plan shall have
the same meaning herein as therein, unless otherwise expressly provided in this
Plan.

at any time and the rights of anyone entitled to receive any payments under this
Plan by reason of the death of such Employee, shall be governed by the
provisions of this Plan in effect on the date such Employee leaves the Service
of the Company, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan.
