**SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN**

**FORSENIOR OFFICER MANAGEMENT GROUP**

**STATEMENT OF PURPOSE**

This Supplemental Retirement Plan for the Senior Officer Management Group covers members of the Senior Officer Management Group who are designated asParticipants and who retire under the Standard Retirement Plan. 

This Plan is separate from and in addition to both the DeferredCompensation Plan and the Standard Retirement Plan. It is intended that this Plan be unfunded and maintained by the Company primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensatedemployees. 

The purpose of this Plan is to provide retirement benefit payments to those Participants who retire under the StandardRetirement Plan and whose retirement benefits from the Standard Retirement Plan are reduced either as a result of the deferral of a portion of the Participant’s annual compensation under his Deferred Compensation Agreement or as a result ofprovisions of the Internal Revenue Code and the Standard Retirement Plan which impose certain limits on qualified plan accumulations, compensation taken into account under the plan or benefits provided for highly compensated employees. 

This Plan was revised in 1990 to conform its provisions to the provisions of the Standard Retirement Plan for Home Office Personnel 1988 Restatementand was most recently amended effective January 1, 2002. The Plan is being revised at this time to comply with applicable provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. This 2008 restatement of this Plan shall determine the SupplementalRetirement Benefit of any Participant whose retirement benefit is determined under the Standard Retirement Plan for Home Office Personnel 2002 Restatement, as amended, that becomes payable on or after January 1, 2008.
