Northern Trust Corporation Supplemental Pension Plan



 Exhibit 10(viii) 
 NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION 
 SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION PLAN 
 (As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2009) 
 The Northern Trust Company Supplemental Plan was adopted on September 16, 1975 and amended through December 16, 1986. The portions of that plan that pertained to The Northern Trust Company Pension Plan were amended and restated by
The Restated Supplemental Pension Plan for Employees of The Northern Trust Company, initially adopted effective September 1, 1989, restated effective September 1, 1989, further amended and restated effective January 1, 1996 and
May 1, 1996 and further amended effective May 1, 1998 (“the Restated Supplemental Pension Plan”). Effective as of July 20, 1999, the assets and obligations of the Restated Supplemental Pension Plan were transferred by The
Northern Trust Company to its parent corporation, Northern Trust Corporation and from and after such date the Northern Trust Corporation became the sponsor of the Restated Supplemental Pension Plan. Northern Trust Corporation further amended and
restated the Restated Supplemental Pension Plan effective July 20, 1999 to reflect the transfer of assets and obligations thereof to Northern Trust Corporation and certain other changes. At that time, the Restated Supplemental Pension Plan was
designated the “Northern Trust Corporation Supplemental Pension Plan.” 
 Northern Trust Corporation now hereby further amends and restates the
Northern Trust Corporation Supplemental Pension Plan, generally effective January 1, 2009 (with such other effective dates as are noted herein) to comply with various changes in applicable law, including the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,

Date under the Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	 The amount of any Five-Year Certain Annuity calculated under the Plan for any Participant or Beneficiary shall be determined: (i) by determining the lump sum

nor the Executive Vice President and Human Resources Department Head of the Corporation (or either of their designees) may amend this Plan in a manner that adversely affects the rights of any Participant of the Plan. 

 In addition, after the date of the occurrence of a Change in Control, no amendment of Sections 3.4 or 4.2 of the Plan shall be effective with respect to
any Participant who is a Participant as of the occurrence of a Change in Control without the consent of such Participant. 
  

	6.2	Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment or termination of the Plan shall directly or indirectly deprive any current or former Participant or Beneficiary of all or
any portion of any Supplemental Pension Benefit or Supplemental Survivor Benefit, payment of which has commenced prior to the effective date of such amendment or termination, or that would be payable if the Participant terminated employment for any
reason, including death, on such effective date. In the event of a Plan termination, subject to Article VIII, a Participant’s Supplemental Pension Benefit and any Beneficiary’s Supplemental Survivor Benefit shall be paid (or shall continue
to be paid to Participants and Beneficiaries who began receiving Supplemental Pension Benefits or Supplemental Survivor Benefits prior to the termination) on such date(s) and in such form as each such Participant or Beneficiary is entitled under
Articles III and IV. 

  

	6.3	Amendments Necessary to Satisfy Code Section 409A. Anything in the preceding Sections 6.1 or 6.2 or elsewhere in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding:


  

	 	(a)	the Plan may be amended in any manner necessary to ensure that the Plan complies in all applicable respects with Code Section 409A; and 

  

	 	(b)	the Plan may not be amended in any manner that would cause the Plan to fail to comply in any applicable respect with Code Section 409A.

 ARTICLE VII 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	7.1	Funding. The Corporation may cause amounts to fund the benefits under the Plan to be contributed to a trust (“Trust”) designated for such purpose by the
Corporation. Amounts contributed pursuant to the Trust shall be invested as EBIC determines is appropriate. If and to the extent amounts are contributed to the Trust hereunder, benefits under the Plan shall be payable pursuant to the Trust
Agreement. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, all assets held thereunder shall remain subject to the general creditors of the Corporation and the Company. The Plan at all times shall be entirely unfunded and, except as otherwise set forth herein, no
provision shall at any time be made with respect to segregating any assets of the Corporation or the Company for payment of any benefits hereunder. No Participant, Beneficiary or any other person shall have any interest in any particular assets of
the Corporation or the Company by reason of the right to receive a benefit under the Plan and Trust Agreement and any such Participant, Beneficiary or other person shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation and the
Company with respect to any rights under the Plan and Trust Agreement. 

  

	7.2	General Conditions. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Qualified Plan applicable to a Qualified Plan Pension Benefit or a
Qualified Plan Survivor Benefit shall also be applicable to a Supplemental Pension Benefit or a Supplemental Survivor Benefit payable hereunder. Any Qualified Plan Pension Benefit or Qualified Plan Survivor Benefit, or any other benefit payable
under the Qualified Plan, shall be paid solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Qualified Plan and nothing in the Plan shall operate or be construed in any way to modify, amend or affect the terms and provisions of the Qualified
Plan. 

  

	7.3	No Guaranty of Benefits. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guaranty by the Corporation, the Company or any other entity or person that the assets of the
Corporation or the Company will be sufficient to pay any benefit hereunder. 

  

	7.4	No Enlargement of Employee Rights. No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right to a benefit under the Plan except in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Establishment of the Plan shall not be construed to give any Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Corporation or the Company. 

  

	7.5	Spendthrift Provision. No interest of any person or entity in, or right to receive a distribution under, the Plan shall be subject in any manner to sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other alienation or encumbrance of any kind ; nor may such interest or right to receive a distribution be taken, either voluntarily or involuntarily, for the satisfaction of the debts of, or other
obligations or claims against, such person or entity, including claims for alimony, support, separate maintenance and claims in bankruptcy proceedings.

	7.7	Incapacity of Recipient. If any benefit under the Plan shall be payable to a minor or a person not adjudicated incompetent but who, by reason of illness or mental or physical
disability, is, in the opinion of the Committee, unable to properly manage his affairs, such benefit shall be paid in such of the following ways as the Committee deems best: (a) to the person directly; (b) in the case of a minor, to a
custodian under any Uniform Gift to Minors Act for the person; or (c) to the person’s spouse, adult child or blood relative. Any benefit so paid shall be a complete discharge of any liability of the Corporation, the Company and Plan
therefore. 

  

	7.8	Successors. The Plan shall not be automatically terminated by a transfer or sale of assets of the Corporation or by the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or
with any other corporation or other entity, but the Plan shall be continued after such sale, merger or consolidation only if and to the extent that the transferee, purchaser or successor entity agrees to continue the Plan, subject to the provisions
of Section 6.1. In the event that the Plan is not continued by the transferee, purchaser or successor entity, then the Plan shall terminate subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6 .2. 

  

	7.9	Unclaimed Benefit. Each Participant shall keep the Committee informed of his current address and the current address of his designated Beneficiary. None of the Corporation,
the Company or the Committee shall be obligated to search for the whereabouts of any person. If the Committee is unable to locate the Participant or any Beneficiary of the Participant, then none of the Corporation, the Company or the Plan shall have
any further obligation to pay any benefit hereunder to such Participant or Beneficiary and such benefit shall be forfeited; provided, however, that if the Participant or Beneficiary makes a valid claim for any benefit that has been forfeited, the
forfeited benefit shall be reinstated. 

  

	7.10	Electronic or Telephonic Notices. Any election, notice, direction or other such action required or permitted to be made in writing under the Plan may also be made
electronically, telephonically or otherwise, to the extent then permitted by applicable law and the administrative rules prescribed by the Committee. 

  

	7.11	Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of the Plan, none of the Corporation, the Company, any member of the Committee, any member of EBIC,
or any individual acting as an employee or agent of the Corporation, the Company, the Committee or EBIC, shall be liable to any Participant, former Participant, Beneficiary or any other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with the Plan. 

  

	7.12	Gender; Headings. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, unless qualified by the context. Any

administered so as to comply with that Code section.

Participants and Beneficiaries who began receiving Supplemental Pension Benefits or Supplemental Survivor Benefits prior to a Change in Control) on the date(s) and in such form as each such Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to payment as if the
Change in Control had not occurred.
