**INTRODUCTION**

| 1.1 | **Introduction.**As of April 1, 1993, Capital Southwest Corporation (the “Company”), along with Capital Southwest Management Corporation, Jet-Lube, Inc., The RectorSeal Corporation, and The Whitmore Manufacturing Company, established the Capital Southwest Corporation and its Affiliates Restoration of Retirement Income                    Plan for Certain Highly Compensated Superseded Plan Participants, (“1993 Restoration Plan”) to provide each Participant with an additional restoration benefit to the benefit the Participant would have received under the Retirement Plan for Employees of Capital Southwest Corporation and its Affiliates (“Qualified Plan”) and the First Supplement to the Retirement Plan for Employees of Capital Southwest Corporation and its Affiliates                    (“First Supplement”) as in effect at that time and subsequently amended. 

 

Effective January 1, 2005, §409A was added to the Code as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, effective as to deferred compensation earned on and after January 1, 2005. 

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company fully amends, restates and renames the 1993 Restoration Plan as this Capital Southwest Corporation and its Affiliates 2009 Restoration of Retirement Income Plan (“Plan”) for the purpose of providing each Participant with a restoration benefit equal to the additional benefit the Participant would have                    received under the Qualified Plan, if the limits on such benefits imposed by Code §401(a)(17) and §415 did not apply, and as such restoration benefits may be modified under this Plan.

If the Participant fails to file an election or if such election is void, the Participant’s benefit shall be paid in the form of a single                    life annuity if the Participant is unmarried or a 100% qualified joint and survivor benefit if the Participant is married. For purposes of the foregoing, a determination whether a Qualified Plan optional benefit form is an “actuarially equivalent life annuity” shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Code §409A, and shall not include any installment payments and shall not include a lump sum payment option except as provided under Section 4.1.1 or 4.1.2,                    above. |

| 4.3 | **Withholding of Taxes.**The benefits payable under this Plan shall be subject to the deduction of any federal, state, or local income taxes, FICA, FUTA or other taxes that are required to be withheld from such payments by applicable laws and regulations. |
|-----|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 4.4 | **Acceleration of Benefit Payments.**Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 4, the Company, in its sole discretion, may decide to make payments under the Plan under this Section 4.4 prior to the Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4). If payments are made                    to or on behalf of a Participant in accordance with this Section 4.4 then any payments that would otherwise be made under this Plan at any later date shall be reduced by the payments so made. Payments that may be made in accordance with this Section 4.4 shall be paid as of the “Benefit Commencement Date” that would apply if the payment event under this Section 4.4 were substituted for the payment event otherwise applicable under Section 4.1. Payment events under                    this Section 4.4 shall include, but shall not be limited to, payments made under the following circumstances: |
|-----|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|--------|-------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | 4.4.2 | **Conflicts of Interest.**Each Participant’s Accrued Benefit shall be paid at such time and to the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4)(iii) in connection with ethics agreements with the Federal government and applicable Federal, state, local or foreign ethics or conflicts of interest laws. |
|--------|-------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 4.5 | **Delay of Payments.** Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the payment of any benefit under this Plan may be postponed until after the Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date to the extent permitted under the provisions of Code §409A and related regulations, but if such payment is described in 4.5.1 or 4.5.2                    below then all payments to similarly situated Participants shall be treated in the same manner. The types of delays that are permitted include, but are not limited to, the following: |
|-----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | 4.5.1 | If the Company reasonably determines that if a payment were made as scheduled the Employer’s deduction with respect to such payment would not be permitted under Code §162(m), then the Company may unilaterally delay the payment of such benefit provided such payment is made either during the first calendar year in which the Employer reasonably                    anticipates that such deduction will not be barred by application of Code §162(m), or, if later, during the period beginning on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service and ending on the later of the last day of the calendar in year in which such Separation from Service occurred or the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation from Service.  |

|   | 4.5.2 | If the Company reasonably anticipates that the payment of a benefit would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law, the Company may cause the Plan to delay payment of a Participant’s benefit until such time as the Company reasonably anticipates that the payment of such benefit will not cause such violation. |
|--------|-------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | 4.5.3 | A payment may be delayed to the extent that the Company reasonably determines that payment will jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, provided that payment is made during the first calendar year in the payment would not have such effect. |
|--------|-------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | 4.5.4 | A payment may be delayed to the extent that the Company reasonably determines that due to circumstances beyond the control of the Participant the calculation of the amount of the Participant’s payment is not administratively practicable, provided that payment is made during the first calendar year in which the calculation of the payment amount is                    administratively practicable. |
|--------|-------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 4.6 | **Forfeiture of Benefits.**If a Participant’s Separation from Service is a result of dishonest conduct injurious to an Employer, or if dishonest conduct injurious to an Employer committed by a Participant is determined by the Company during the lifetime of the Participant and within one year after his Separation from Service                    or within one year after his retirement under the Qualified Plan, the Company may terminate such Participant’s benefits rights and interest under this Plan. The dishonest conduct injurious to the Employer committed by a Participant shall be determined and decided by the Company only after a full investigation of such alleged dishonest conduct and an opportunity has been given the Participant or his representative to appear before the Company to present his case in                    accordance with the rules and regulations provided under Section 8. The decision made by the Company in such cases shall be final and binding on all Participants and any other person claiming any benefit forfeited as a result of such decision or otherwise affected by such decision. |

**SECTION 5**

 

**BENEFICIARIES**

| 5.1 | **Designation.**Each Participant may, from time to time during his or her lifetime and prior to the Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date, designate the Beneficiary(s) to receive the benefits which may be payable under the Plan in the event of the Participant’s death. Each such designation will revoke all prior                    designations by such Participant and shall be in writing on a form provided for that purpose and filed with the Company. A Participant’s Spouse must consent in writing to the designation and form of benefit if the Spouse is not the primary beneficiary. Such consent shall be made in the time and form specified by the Company from time to time. The designated Beneficiary may be changed by a Participant from time to time before the Participant’s Accrued Benefit is                    paid or payment commences, pursuant to rules established by the Administrator. The designation last made by the Participant before his death shall control. In the event a Participant fails to make a Beneficiary designation under this Plan, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the same as his Beneficiary under the Qualified Plan. |
