AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN
  Adopted Effective
                             , 2005
  
    I.    HISTORY AND
EFFECTIVE DATES OF THE PLAN    
    


	A.
	History and Purpose 



The
Ameriprise Financial Supplemental Retirement Plan (the "Plan") is hereby adopted by Ameriprise Financial, Inc. effective
                 , 2005. The Plan is intended to supplement retirement benefits provided under the Ameriprise Financial
Retirement Plan, the Ameriprise Financial 401(k) Plan, and any other retirement and savings plans sponsored by the Company, for a select group of management or highly compensated individuals. The Plan
is intended to be and shall be construed and operated as a "top-hat plan" under Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), and Section 2520.104-23 of the United States Department of Labor Regulations. 



	B.
	Effective Date 



This
Ameriprise Financial Supplemental Retirement Plan is generally effective October 1, 2005. 


Effective
                 , 2005, the American Express Company effectuated the distribution of all of the outstanding
securities of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. to the shareholders of the American Express Company in a tax-free spin-off under the Code (the "Spin-Off"). On that
date, the Company ceased to be a participating employer in the American Express Company's tax-qualified retirement plans and the components of such plans covering Company participants were
transferred to new plans established by the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 414(l) of the Code. In connection with this transaction, the component of the American Express
Company Supplemental Retirement Plan (the "AXP Plan") covering Company participants was similarly transferred to the Company. Effective as of             
    , 2005, the Company and its subsidiaries ceased to be participating companies, and employees and retirees of the Company and its subsidiaries ceased to be
participants, in the AXP Plan. 



	C.
	Transition Rules 



	(1)
	Opening Account Balances and Participation. Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, the account balance on
                             , 2005 of any individual who had accumulated benefits under
the AXP Plan, the responsibility for which is
transferred to the Company pursuant to the Employee Benefits Agreement by and between the American Express Company and the Company, dated as of             
    , 2005 (the "EBA"), shall be the account balance such Participant had in the AXP Plan immediately before the Spin-Off. For purposes of this
transition rule only, "Participant" shall include individuals with accrued benefits under the AXP Plan, the responsibility for which is transferred to the Company under the EBA. A Participant who
becomes an Employee of the Company and Participant under the Plan shall accrue benefits and receive distributions of such benefits, including benefits accrued under the AXP Plan, as set forth below in
the Plan. A Participant who had accrued benefits under the AXP Plan, but does not become an Employee of the Company accruing additional benefits under the Plan, shall have benefits solely as set forth

V.    BENEFITS UNDER THE PLAN    
    


	A.
	Benefits Under the Retirement Plan



For
purposes of this Section V(A), capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning set forth in the Retirement Plan. 


	(1)
	Benefits in Excess of Limits Under the Retirement Plan



	(a)
	If a Participant is a participant under the Retirement Plan, other than a terminated participant, the Company shall establish a book
reserve account to be determined as follows:



	(i)
	Initial Book Reserve Account Balance. A Participant's initial book reserve account balance shall be zero unless the
Participant was a participant in the AXP Plan. A Participant who was a participant in the AXP Plan shall have an initial book reserve account balance equal to his or her book reserve account balance
in the AXP Plan on September 30, 2005.



	(ii)
	Contribution Credits. There shall be credited to a Participant's book reserve account, in accordance with
Section V(C), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of: (x) the Contribution Credits that would have been credited to a Participant's Defined Benefit Account Balance under the
Retirement Plan for the Plan Year if the Plan's definition of Compensation was used, the Section 401(a)(17) Limitation was ignored, and the Participant had not elected or been required to defer
the receipt of any Compensation through non-qualified deferrals pursuant to a Deferral Plan, over (y) the actual Contribution Credits credited to the Participant's Defined Benefit
Account Balance under the Retirement Plan for the Plan Year. In the event a Participant terminates from service as a result of a disability, as determined under the Retirement Plan, this
Section V(A)(1)(ii) will apply as if the Section 401(a)(17) Limitation and Section 415 Limitations applied to the deemed Compensation considered by the Retirement Plan.


 



	(b)
	Certain Participants, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, may be deemed to have rendered five (5) additional
Years of Service under the Plan. For each such Participant, subject to such terms and conditions as the Company may impose upon such benefits by special agreement with such Participant (in the event
of a conflict with this paragraph, such special agreement shall control), an additional amount shall be credited to the Participant's book reserve account equal to the excess, if any of:
(x) the total cumulative Contribution Credits that would have been credited to the Participant's book reserve account under Section V(A)(1)(a) had the Participant rendered such
additional Years of Service under the Retirement Plan, over (y) the actual total cumulative Contribution Credits credited to the Participant's book reserve account under
Section V(A)(1)(a) as of the date the Employee is eligible for such benefits under the Plan. Subject to the terms of the special agreement with each such Participant, such amounts shall be
calculated and credited in accordance with Section V(C) under procedures to be determined from time to time by the Administrator and consistently applied to similarly situated Employees. Unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator or agreed in a special agreement with the Participant, amounts credited under this Section V(A)(1)(b) shall be subject to five (5) year vesting,
and such amounts shall be forfeited by the Participant if the Participant's service with the Company 






4







 



terminates
for any reason other than death or disability (as defined in the Retirement Plan) before five (5) years of actual service have been rendered to the Company by such Participant. 



	(c)
	The formula of the benefits for a Plan Year under this Section V(A)(1) shall be determined by the Administrator and applied in a
uniform manner for all similarly situated Employees.


 



	(2)
	Benefits Upon a Change in Control




If
a Participant experiences a "Defined Termination," as defined in the Senior Executive Severance Plan (provided that such Participant is eligible under such plan), during the first year following a
Change in Control, such Participant shall, for purposes of this Section V(A), be deemed to have rendered two (2) additional Years of Service and to have attained two
(2) additional years of age under the Retirement Plan. In addition, such Participant shall be deemed to have two (2) additional years of service for purposes of determining his vested
interest in the book reserve accounts hereunder attributable to the 401(k) Plan. If a Participant eligible under the Senior Executive Severance Plan experiences a Defined Termination during the second
year following a Change in Control, such Participant shall, for purposes of this Section V(A), be deemed to have rendered one (1) additional Year of Service and to have attained one
(1) additional year of age under the Retirement Plan. In addition, such Participant shall be deemed to have one (1) additional year of service for purposes of determining such
Participant's vested interest in the book reserve accounts hereunder attributable to the 401(k) Plan. Benefits for such Participants shall be calculated as if such Participants had continued working
for such additional one (1) or two (2) year period, and had received in such period(s) salary and bonus at the rate utilized in determining severance benefits under the Senior Executive
Severance Plan (for avoidance of doubt, without consideration of any offsets which may be provided in such plan against severance benefits, such as termination pay, office closing amounts, and the
like). For such Participants, effective as of the date of the Defined Termination, an amount shall be credited to the Participant's book reserve account equal to the excess of: (x) the total
cumulative Contribution Credits and Imputed Earnings Credits that would have been credited to the Participant's Defined Benefit Account Balance under the Retirement Plan over the one (1) or two
(2) year period following the date of the Defined Termination had the Participant received such compensation, rendered such additional Years of Service and attained such additional years of age
under the Retirement Plan, over (y) the actual total cumulative Contribution Credits and Imputed Earnings Credits credited to the Participant's Defined Benefit Account Balance under the
Retirement Plan as of the date of the Defined Termination. 



	(3)
	Benefits Restricted to Vested Portion




The
benefits credited under this Section V(A) at the time of distribution to a Participant shall be restricted to a Participant's vested portion. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the
Plan, a Participant's vested portion shall be determined under the vesting provisions of the Retirement Plan. Any non-vested portion of amounts credited to a Participant hereunder shall be
forfeited. 



	(4)
	Additional Accounts





The
Administrator may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, establish additional book reserve accounts from time to time. The procedures to reflect and credit increases, decreases, interest,
dividends, and other income, gains and losses shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole and exclusive discretion. 




5













  



	B.
	Benefits in Excess of Limits Under the 401(k) Plan  



For
purposes of this Section V(B), capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning set forth in the 401(k) Plan. 


If
a Participant is a participant in the 401(k) Plan, the Company shall establish book reserve accounts under the Plan on behalf of such Participant. A Participant's initial book reserve account
balance shall be zero unless the Participant was a participant in the AXP Plan. A Participant who was a participant in the AXP Plan shall have an initial balance in each book reserve account equal to
such Participant's book reserve account balance in the equivalent account under the AXP Plan on September 30, 2005. The following amounts shall be credited to the Participant's book reserve
accounts as described in Section (V)(C): 


	(1)
	Company Stock Contribution Allocation.    An amount shall be credited to the Participant's book reserve account equal to:
(a) one-percent (1%), or such other amount as may be set by the Compensation and Benefits Committee for some or all Participants, of the sum of: (i) the Participant's
Compensation, calculated without the Section 401(a)(17) Limitation or Section 415 Limitations, plus (ii) that portion of a Participant's Compensation deferred during such Plan
Year pursuant to a Deferral Plan, minus (b) the amount actually allocated as a Company Stock Contribution to the account of the Participant under the 401(k) Plan. For purposes of this
Section V(B)(1), the Section 401(a)(17) Limitation shall be deemed to apply pro ratably to each regularly scheduled pay period for each Plan Year.



	(2)
	Company Profit-Sharing Contribution Allocation.    An amount shall be credited to the Participant's book reserve account
equal to: (a) the Company Profit-Sharing Contribution percentage utilized for purposes of the 401(k) Plan for that Plan Year for such Participant times the sum of: (i) the Participant's
Compensation, calculated without the Section 401(a)(17) Limitation or Section 415 Limitations, plus (ii) that portion of a Participant's Compensation deferred during such Plan
Year pursuant to a Deferral Plan, minus (b) the amount actually allocated as a Company Profit-Sharing Contribution to the account of the Participant under the 401(k) Plan. Unless otherwise
expressly provided in the Plan, Benefits credited under this Section V(B)(2) at the time of distribution shall be restricted to a Participant's vested portion as determined under the applicable
provisions of the 401(k) Plan. Any non-vested portion of such deferred compensation to be paid shall be forfeited.



	(3)
	Company Matching Contribution Allocation.    A Company matching contribution, whether or not the Participant actually elects
to defer Compensation under the 401(k) Plan, equal to three percent (3%), or such other amount as may be set by the Compensation and Benefits Committee for some or all Participants, of:
(a) that portion of the Participant's Compensation which was deferred during the Plan Year pursuant to a Deferral Plan, plus (b) that portion of the Participant's Compensation (not
including the amounts deferred as described in clause (a) above) in excess of the Section 401(a)(17) Limitation, shall be contributed and allocated to the account of a Participant by the
Company as a matching contribution on behalf of such Participant; provided, however, for purposes of this Company matching contribution, Compensation shall not be subject to the
Section 401(a)(17) Limitation. 




The
Administrator may, in its discretion, establish additional book reserve accounts from time to time. The procedures to reflect and credit increases, decreases, interest, dividends, and other
income, gains and losses shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole and exclusive discretion. 




C.    Crediting of Accounts  



	(1)
	Amounts described in this Section V shall be credited to a book reserve account established for a Participant at such times and in such manner as may be
determined by the Administrator. In making such credits, the Administrator shall generally attempt to, but shall 



6







 


not
be required to, credit accounts at a time and in a manner as similar as possible to the time and manner for the crediting of similar amounts under the Qualified Retirement Plans; provided that,
unless the Administrator determines otherwise, amounts credited to an account with respect to the application of the Section 415 Limitations to the Retirement Plan shall be credited upon the
commencement of the benefit payment under the Retirement Plan, and may, pursuant to rules determined by the Administrator, include for purposes of such calculation years of service, compensation, and
other crediting information accrued under the AXP Plan. The Administrator shall apply such procedures consistently to similarly situated Participants. 



	(2)
	Amounts described in Section V(B)(1) shall be initially credited to a book reserve account established for a Participant which
shall be denominated in units ("Units"). For purposes of the Plan, the price and value of a Unit shall be determined by the Administrator in a manner determined by the Administrator to be reasonably
consistent with similar determinations made under the 401(k) Plan Company Stock Fund (the "Stock Fund").



	(3)
	Amounts described in Sections V(B)(2) and (3) shall be credited to a book reserve account established for a Participant
which shall contain various subaccounts selected by the Administrator in its sole and exclusive discretion, representing the various investment funds available to a Participant under the 401(k) Plan
as provided for in the Plan; provided that, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, no subaccount shall be established under the Plan to coincide with any self-directed brokerage
account which may be available under the 401(k) Plan. 




D.    Payment of Benefits  



	(1)
	Any benefits payable under the Plan shall be paid in cash from the general assets of the Company in the form elected by the Participant subject to the
following:



	(a)
	In accordance with rules and procedures adopted by the Administrator in compliance with Section 409A, existing Participants,
including Participants (other than those in pay status on December 31, 2004) who were participants under the AXP Plan, may make distribution elections as follows:



	(i)
	Participants who have not previously made an initial distribution election, whether under the Plan or under the AXP Plan, may make such
an initial election on or before the date set by the Administrator, which shall not be later than December 31, 2005.



	(ii)
	Participants who have previously made an initial distribution election, whether under the Plan or under the AXP Plan, but who have not
previously modified such election under paragraph V(D)(1)(c), whether under the Plan or under the AXP Plan, may change such distribution election on or before the date set by the Administrator,
which shall not be later than December 31, 2005, to elect any payment form permissible under Section V(D)(1)(b) and Section 409A, regardless of whether such distribution election
lengthens or shortens the period over which payments from the Plan shall be made. For the avoidance of doubt, any such distribution which accelerates payments from the Plan shall not cause any
reduction in the amounts otherwise payable hereunder. Notwithstanding Section V(D)(1)(c), if made on or before December 31, 2005 in accordance with this paragraph, such subsequent
election shall be made in accordance with Section 409A, but, to the extent permitted under Section 409A transition guidance, need not comply with the requirement regarding a minimum
additional deferral period of five (5) years. In addition, an election made on or before December 31, 2005 that shortens the period over which payments from the Plan shall be made is not
subject to the requirement that such 









7







 




election
be made twelve (12) months prior to its effective date. However, any such subsequent election made under this paragraph shall constitute a modification for purposes of the one
(1) time limitation contained in Section V(D)(1)(c), and no additional modification will thereafter be permitted under Section V(D)(1)(c) hereof. 



	(iii)
	Employees who first become Participants after December 31, 2005 may make an initial distribution election in accordance with
rules and procedures adopted by the Administrator in compliance with Section 409A.



	(iv)
	Participants who have previously made both a distribution election and a modification to such distribution election, whether under the
Plan or the AXP Plan, shall be subject to the rules of Section V(D)(1)(c) prohibiting any further changes to their distribution elections. However, any such Participant who was not in pay
status under the AXP Plan on December 31, 2004 and who previously made a modification to an initial distribution election which accelerated the time period for payments from the Plan shall not
have any reduction in the amounts otherwise payable hereunder (notwithstanding Section V(D)(1)(b)(ii) of the AXP Plan).


 



	(b)
	A Participant may elect to receive benefits in a single lump-sum payment or in annual installments payable over a period of
five (5), ten (10) or fifteen (15) consecutive calendar years; provided, however, that if all benefits payable under the Plan to a Participant at the time of the Participant's
termination of employment for any reason are less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), such amount shall be paid in a single lump-sum payment terminating the Participant's interest in
the Plan (a "De Minimis Payment"). Except as provided in Section V(D)(1)(c) below, a Participant may not modify such Participant's initial distribution election described in the preceding
sentence. Such election shall apply to the payment of all benefits under the Plan, including benefits accrued under the AXP Plan (except for benefits that were in pay status under the AXP Plan on
December 31, 2004). 







If
a Participant fails to make a valid, timely distribution election in accordance with Section V(D)(1)(a) and the rules and procedures adopted by the Administrator, such Participant shall be
deemed to have made an initial distribution election to receive benefits in the form of a single lump sum. Payment of benefits shall be made as follows: (i) if a Participant has elected (or is
deemed to have elected) a lump sum payment, it shall be made on the first January 1 or July 1 which is at least six (6) months following the Participant's separation from service
for any reason from the Company, or as soon thereafter as administratively feasible (provided, however, that all such payments made in 2006 shall be made on July 1); and (ii) if a
Participant has elected annual installment payments, they shall begin on July 1 of the calendar year following the Participant's separation from service for any reason from the Company, or as
soon thereafter as administratively feasible, and shall continue on each July 1 thereafter for the period selected by the Participant; provided, however, that a De Minimis Payment shall be made
as soon as administratively practical after separation from service for any reason from the Company, but in no event later than the later of December 31 of the year of separation from service
or the date that is two and one-half (21/2) months after the Participant's separation from service. A Participant who has experienced a separation from service, as defined
in Section 409A, and has begun receiving payments as set forth above, shall continue receiving any remaining payments according to the terms in effect on the date of such Participant's
separation from service, even if later re-employed by the Company. 



	(c)
	Change in Payment Procedures.    A Participant who has not previously modified an initial distribution election, whether
under the Plan or under the AXP Plan, may make a one (1) time modification to such Participant's initial distribution election to elect a payment 




8







 



form
that lengthens the period over which payments from the Plan shall be made. To be effective, such a modification shall be made by filing a written notice of modification in such form and manner as
the Administrator may prescribe; provided, however, that the modification must comply with Section 409A, including requirements regarding: (i) a minimum additional deferral period of
five (5) years; and (ii) the additional deferral election not being effective until twelve (12) months after it is made. A Participant may not change the payment method after
separation from service. 




	(2)
	Upon a Participant's death, benefits under the Plan shall be payable in cash to a Participant's Beneficiary designated pursuant to
V(D)(3) below. If a Participant dies while still actively employed by the Company, such payment shall be made as a single lump-sum payment on the first January 1 or July 1
which is at least six (6) months following the Participant's death. If a Participant elects annual installment payments and dies after such installment payments have commenced, any remaining
installment payments shall be made to such Participant's Beneficiary designated pursuant to V(D)(3) below as a single lump-sum payment made on the first January 1 or July 1
which is at least six (6) months following the Participant's death.



	(3)
	A Participant shall designate such Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries entitled to receive benefits under the Plan by filing
written notice of such designation with the Administrator in such form as the Administrator may prescribe. A Participant may revoke or modify such designation at any time by a further written
designation in such form as the Administrator may prescribe. A Participant's Beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked in the event of the death of the Beneficiary or, if the
Beneficiary is the Participant's spouse, in the event of dissolution of marriage. If no designation is in effect at the time benefits payable under the Plan become due, the Beneficiary shall be deemed
to be the Participant's surviving spouse, if any, and if not, the Participant's estate.



	(4)
	Upon the request of a Participant and based on a showing of an unforeseeable emergency as defined by Section 409A, the
Administrator may, in its sole discretion, vary the manner and time of making the distributions provided in this Section V(D) to the extent permitted by Section 409A. 




E.    Subaccounts, Investment Performance and Transfers  



	(1)
	For each Participant, the book reserve accounts established pursuant to Section V(A) shall be increased by the Imputed Earnings Credit (as such term is
defined in the Retirement Plan), not less frequently than annually, under procedures and at times determined by the Administrator and consistently applied for similarly situated Participants. Such
earnings shall be credited at the same interest rate and computed in a similar manner (to the extent administratively feasible) as Imputed Earnings Credits are computed under the Retirement Plan for
each Plan Year.



	(2)
	Subject to Section V(E)(4) below, and to such rules as may be adopted by the Administrator, the performance of the book reserve
account established for each Participant pursuant to Section V(C)(2) shall reflect the performance of the Stock Fund. Such book reserve account shall reflect such increases or decreases in
value from time to time, whether from dividends, gains, losses or otherwise, as may be experienced by the Stock Fund. Subject to Section VI hereof, and to such rules as may be adopted by the
Administrator, a Participant may elect to transfer credits to the book reserve account established pursuant to Section V(C)(2) to or from such account to or from one or more subaccounts
established pursuant to Section V(C)(3), in a manner similar to the rules for such transfers under the 401(k) Plan. 




Notwithstanding
the above, effective immediately upon a Change in Control, to the extent a book reserve account established on behalf of a Participant reflects, or by the terms of the 




9







 


Plan
should in the future reflect, the performance of the Stock Fund, it shall thereafter reflect the performance of the 401(k) Plan Income Fund. 



	(3)
	For each Participant, credits to the book reserve account established pursuant to Section V(C)(3) shall be made to such
subaccounts thereunder as directed by such Participant. If more than one subaccount is selected, a Participant must designate, on a form or other medium acceptable to the Administrator, in one percent
(1%) increments, the amounts to be credited to each subaccount. A Participant shall be allowed to amend such designation consistent with the frequency of investment changes offered the Participant
under rules governing the 401(k) Plan for a given Plan Year. 





Subject
to Section V(E)(4) below, for each Participant, the performance of such subaccounts shall reflect the performance of the investment fund under the 401(k) Plan that such subaccount
represents. Each such subaccount shall reflect such increases or decreases in value from time to time, whether from dividends, gains, losses or otherwise, as that experienced by the related investment
fund under the 401(k) Plan. Subject to Section VI hereof, credits to such subaccounts may be transferred to any other subaccount under the Plan on such terms and at such times as permitted with
respect to the related investment funds under the 401(k) Plan, and to such rules as may be adopted by the Administrator. If a Participant fails to affirmatively designate one or more subaccounts
pursuant to this Section V(E)(3), subject to rules established by the Administrator, such Participant shall be deemed to have selected either a default account selected by the Administrator or,
to the extent feasible, the subaccount(s) that relate to the Participant's investment direction under the 401(k) Plan; provided, however, to the extent an Insider has directed 401(k) Plan amounts to
the Stock Fund, such Insider shall be deemed to have selected the subaccount relating to the 401(k) Plan Income Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion,
provide that one or more investment funds available under the 401(k) Plan, including any self-directed brokerage account which may be available under the 401(k) Plan, shall not be
available for designation under the Plan. 



	(4)
	Subject to Section V(C)(3), the subaccounts shall be valued subject to such reasonable rules and procedures as the Administrator
may adopt and apply to all Participants similarly situated with an effort to value such subaccounts as if amounts designated were invested in at similar times and in manners, subject to administrative
convenience, as amounts are invested, and subject to the same market fluctuation factors used in valuing such investments in the 401(k) Plan. 



 
 

VI.    SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS    
    


	A.
	The provisions of this Section VI shall apply to Insiders. Such provisions shall apply during all periods that Insiders are
subject to reporting under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), including any period following cessation of Insider status during which such
Insiders are required to report transactions pursuant to Rule 16a-2(b) (or its successor) under the Exchange Act. 



At
such time as any Insider ceases to be subject to Section 16(a) reporting (and any period contemplated by Rule 16a-2(b) has expired), this Section VI shall cease to
be applicable to such Participant. 



	B.
	This Section VI shall be automatically applicable to any person who, on and after the date hereof, becomes an Insider. For
purposes of the foregoing, the effective date of this Section shall be the date the person becomes an Insider.



	C.
	Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, (1) except as set forth below, credits to the account of an Insider
pursuant to Section V(C) may not be made to any subaccount that reflects the performance of the Stock Fund, (2) credits made pursuant to Section V(C) to the account of 


10







 

an
Insider at any time may not be transferred to any book reserve account or subaccount that reflects the performance of the Stock Fund, and (3) credits made to an Insider's book reserve
account pursuant to Section V(C)(2) at any time and credits to the account of an Insider pursuant to Section V(C) that were made to a subaccount that reflects the performance of the
Stock Fund (which credits could only have been made when such individual was not an Insider) may not be transferred, withdrawn, paid out or otherwise changed, other than (a) pursuant to
Section V(D)(1) or (2) (but only at such time as such person is no longer an Insider), or (b) pursuant to the forfeiture provisions contained in the last sentence of
Section V(B)(2). 



	D.
	It is intended that the crediting of amounts to the accounts of Insiders that represents the performance of the Stock Fund is intended
to qualify for exemption from Section 16 under Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act. The Administrator shall, with respect to Insiders, administer and interpret all Plan
provisions in a manner consistent with such exclusion. 


 
 

VII.    GENERAL PROVISIONS    
    


	A.
	Nothing in the Plan shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or fiduciary relationship between the Company and the
Participant, such Participant's designated Beneficiary, or any other person. Any funds deferred under the provisions of the Plan shall be construed for all purposes as a part of the general funds of
the Company, and any right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor. The Company may, but need not, purchase any
securities or instruments as a means of hedging its obligations to any Participant under the Plan.



	B.
	The right of any Participant, or other person, to the payment of deferred compensation under the Plan shall not be assigned,
transferred, pledged or encumbered except by the laws of descent and distribution.



	C.
	Participation in the Plan shall not be construed as conferring upon the Participant the right to continue in the employ of the Company
as an executive or in any other capacity. The Company expressly reserves the right to dismiss any employee at any time without liability for the effect such dismissal might have upon such employee
hereunder.



	D.
	Any deferred compensation payable under the Plan shall not be deemed salary or other compensation to the Participant for the purpose of
computing the benefits under any plan or arrangement (including but not limited to any "employee benefit plan" under ERISA) except as expressly provided in such plan or arrangement.



	E.
	The Company makes no representations or warranties and assumes no responsibility as to the tax consequences to any Participant who
enters into a deferred compensation agreement with the Company pursuant to the Plan. Further, payment by the Company to a Participant (or to a Participant's Beneficiary or Beneficiaries) in accordance
with the terms of the Plan, including any designation of Beneficiary on file with the Administrator at the time of such Participant's death, shall be binding on all interested parties and persons,
including such Participant's heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and shall discharge the Company, its directors, officers and employees from all claims, demands, actions or causes of action
of every kind arising out of or on account of Participant's participation in the Plan, known or unknown, for himself or herself, his or her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns. Any agreement
executed pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed to include the above provision of this Section VII(E).



	F.
	The Board of Directors or its delegate may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, provided that the Board may not reduce or modify
the amount of any benefit payable to a Participant or any Beneficiary receiving benefit payments at the time the Plan is amended or terminated.



	G.
	The Administrator may prescribe a form of agreement to be used by a Participant and the Company, to the extent deemed necessary, to
defer compensation under the Plan. 


11







 
	H.
	The Plan and all actions taken hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York.



	I.
	Notwithstanding the above and any other provision herein to the contrary, to the extent permitted by Section 409A without
penalty, effective immediately upon a Change of Control, the entire value of each Participant's book reserve accounts under the Plan shall be maintained in a trust (the "Trust") established by the
Company for this purpose and Company shall transfer to the Trust an amount sufficient to fund the entire value of each Participant's book reserve accounts. The Trust is intended to be classified for
federal income tax purposes as a "grantor trust" within the meaning of Subpart E, Part I, Subchapter J, Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the Code.



	J.
	Notwithstanding anything in the Plan, the Retirement Plan or the 401(k) Plan to the contrary, any amount otherwise due or payable under
the Plan may be forfeited, or its payment suspended, at the discretion of the Administrator, to apply toward or recover any claim the Company may have against the Participant, including but not
limited to, for the enforcement of the Company's Detrimental Conduct Provisions under its long-term incentive award plan, to recover a debt to the Company or to recover a benefit
overpayment under a Company benefit plan or program.



	K.
	The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under the Plan, regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all
applicable income and employment taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment or may require the Participant to pay to it such tax prior to and as a condition of the
making of such payment.



	L.
	No person connected with the Plan in any capacity, including, but not limited to, the Company and its directors, officers, agents and
employees, makes any representation, commitment, or guarantee that any tax treatment, including, but not limited to, Federal, state and local income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be applicable
to any amounts deferred under the Plan, or paid to or for the benefit of a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to a Participant or
Beneficiary on account of participation in the Plan.



	M.
	Neither the establishment of the Plan nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any account under the Plan, nor the payment of
any benefits under the Plan shall be construed as giving to any Participant or other person any legal or equitable right against the Company, or any officer or employer thereof except as provided by
law or by any Plan provision. No person (including the Company) in any way guarantees any Participant's book reserve account from loss or depreciation, whether caused by poor investment performance of
a deemed investment or the inability to realize upon an investment due to an insolvency affecting an investment vehicle or any other reason. In no event shall the Company or any successor, employee,
officer, director or stockholder of the Company, be liable to any person on account of any claim arising by reason of the provisions of the Plan or of any instrument or instruments implementing its
provisions (except that the Company shall make benefit payments in accordance with the terms of the Plan), or for the failure of any Participant, Beneficiary or other person to be entitled to any
particular tax consequences with respect to the Plan, or any credit or distribution hereunder.



	N.
	If any provision of the Plan is held to be illegal or void, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of
the Plan, but shall be fully severable, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provision had never been inserted herein. For all purposes of the Plan, where the
context admits, the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular. Headings of Articles and Sections herein are inserted only for convenience of reference and are not to
be considered in the construction of the Plan.
