SECTION 1.        CONTINUATION AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.
1.1    Continuation. There is hereby continued for the benefit of Members an unfunded plan of deferred compensation known as the “Pfizer Inc Nonfunded Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Savings Plan.”  Effective January 1, 2016, this plan is renamed the “Pfizer Supplemental Savings Plan.”
1.2    Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide a means by which an Eligible Employee may, in certain circumstances, elect to defer receipt of a portion of his “Regular Earnings,” and such other deferrals as determined by the Company in accordance with Section 4.2.  
1.3    Description of the Plan. The Plan became effective July 1, 1983, was amended and restated effective February 1, 2002, and was again amended and restated effective January 1, 2008, except as otherwise provided herein, to reflect: (i) the merger of the Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan into the Plan, and (ii) the enactment of Code Section 409A and corresponding regulations, and (iii) certain other administrative design changes. Except as specifically otherwise provided herein, the Grandfathered Amounts for Members who were Participants in the Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan on December 31, 2004 shall be governed by the provisions of the Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan as amended and restated effective July 1, 2002; the Grandfathered Amounts with respect to Members in this Plan on December 31, 2004, shall be governed by the provisions of this Plan, as amended and restated effective February 1, 2002; and, for the period from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007 the provisions of this amended and restated Plan shall govern, except to the extent the provisions of this Plan are inconsistent with the administrative practices, policies, election forms and participant communications designed for reasonable good faith compliance with Code Section 409A during that interim period, which are incorporated herein by reference. The Plan was further amended and restated effective January 1, 2012 (except where provided otherwise) (i) to reflect the implementation of the Retirement Savings Contribution under the Pfizer Savings Plan that is eligible to be contributed to the Plan for a Member, effective January 1, 2011, and (ii) to provide that Members in the Pfizer Savings Plan for Residents of Puerto Rico are eligible to participate in the Plan as a result of the enactment of the Internal Revenue Code for a New Puerto Rico and certain other clarifying amendments. The Plan is being further amended and restated effective January 1, 2016 (except where provided otherwise) (i) to reflect the independent deferral opportunity between base salary and bonus; and (ii) to implement the rollover of certain in-service supplemental pension plan benefits, and roll overs of supplemental pension plan benefits upon termination and death. The provisions of this restated and amended Plan shall govern Accounts on and after January 1, 2016 except with respect to Grandfathered Amounts.
For purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended, the Plan shall be treated as two separate, unfunded plans. One plan shall be an “excess benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(36) of ERISA, and shall be comprised of accruals under the Plan that are made solely because of the applicable limitations under Section 415 of the Code, plus earnings thereon. All other accruals under the Plan, plus earnings thereon, shall be treated as made under a separate “top-hat” plan maintained by the Company primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meanings of Sections 201(a)(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA.

Any Retirement Savings Eligible Employee who receives a Retirement Savings Contribution under a Qualified Plan that is projected to be in excess of any applicable Limitations, shall become a Member under the Plan and such excess Retirement Savings Contributions shall be credited to his or her Account under the Plan.

Retirement Savings Contributions shall be subject to a vesting schedule as set forth below:
(a)General. A Member shall become 100% vested in his Retirement Savings Contributions upon the attainment of 3 Years of Service (as determined in accordance with the Qualified Plan pursuant to which such Member’s Retirement Savings Contributions were made).


Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member shall become 100% vested in his Retirement Savings Contributions in the event of his or her Retirement, Disability or death (including death while serving Qualified Military Service); provided that “Disability” shall also include for purposes of this Section 3.5(a) only, a Member’s Separation from Service due to the failure to return to work after the expiration of short term disability benefits, or because his position is filled while he is on an approved leave of absence while receiving short term disability benefits.


(b)Forfeiture of Nonvested Contributions. The nonvested portion of a Member’s Account shall be forfeited upon the occurrence of the earlier of: (i) the date upon which the Member takes a complete distribution of his or her Account, or (ii) the date upon which the Member incurs five consecutive One-Year Periods of Severance (as determined in accordance with the Qualified Plan pursuant to which such Member’s Retirement Savings Contributions were made).


SECTION 4.        EMPLOYER ACCRUALS.
4.1    General Rule.
(a) An Employer Accrual will be credited to a Member’s Account with respect to the eligible portion of Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals of such Member at the Member’s applicable percentage rate of “Matching Contributions” with respect to “After-Tax Contributions,” “Before-Tax Contributions,” and Roth 401(k) Contributions under the Qualified Plan. The Employer Accrual shall be credited as soon as practicable following the last day of the calendar quarter provided the Member is actively employed on such date. An Employer Accrual at the Member’s applicable percentage rate of “Matching Contributions” (based on the Member’s matching contribution formula under the Qualified Plan) also will be credited to the Account of a Member who elects to defer a percent of his or her bonus that otherwise would have been deferred under the Pfizer Deferred Compensation Plan, irrespective of the Excess Regular Earnings triggers, on the eligible portion of such deferred bonus amount, subject to the requirements of Section 409A. Such Employer Accrual shall be credited as soon as practical following the last day of the calendar quarter provided the Member is actively employed on such date. In no event shall a Special Accrual be subject to Employer Accruals under this Section 4.1. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.1 to the contrary, for purposes of any distribution or withdrawal under the Plan, except as otherwise provided under Section 5.4, the amounts distributed or withdrawn shall be valued as of the last business day of the calendar quarter preceding the calendar quarter of the distribution or withdrawal.
(b) An eligible Member who is not actively employed by an Employer on the last day of the calendar quarter as a result of such Member’s death, Disability, Retirement, approved paid (including short-term disability) or unpaid leave of absence or military leave (provided that such Employee must return from military leave in accordance with USERRA to receive such contribution), shall receive his or her Employer Accrual for such calendar quarter: 


		
	(i)
	based on his or her eligible portion of Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals at such Member’s applicable percentage rate of “Matching Contributions” with respect to “After-Tax Contributions,” “Before-Tax Contributions,” and Roth 401(k) Contributions under the Qualified Plan up until the date upon which he or she is no longer actively employed as a result of any such death, Disability or Retirement in the event of his or her death, Disability or Retirement, or

	(ii)
	based on his or her eligible portion of Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals at such Member’s applicable percentage rate of “Matching Contributions” with respect to “After-Tax Contributions,” “Before-Tax Contributions,” and Roth 401(k) Contributions under the Qualified Plan for the applicable calendar quarter in the event of any paid (including short-term disability) or unpaid leave of absence or military leave.




4.2    Special Accrual for Recruitment Purposes


Effective September 1, 2007, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, credit an amount to the Account of an Eligible Employee, provided that a member of the ELT approves such credit (but such ELT member cannot approve such credit for him or herself).


(a)    This credit to the Eligible Employee’s Account shall be made at the time, and subject to any restrictions, specified in the written agreement or agreement that is evidenced in a writing from the ELT member (the “Written Agreement”), with the Eligible Employee. At such time, the Eligible Employee shall become a Member if he is not already a Member. Such Written Agreement cannot include any election on the part of the Eligible Employee unless such election satisfies the requirements of Section 409A and the election provisions have been approved by the ELT member or a member of the Committee.
 
(b)    Such credit, as adjusted for any investment gains or losses, shall be paid in accordance with Sections 5.2, 6.1 and 6.2 of the Plan or as otherwise determined under the Written Agreement; provided that nothing herein (other than if the Written Agreement specifies to the contrary) shall be interpreted so not as to afford the opportunity for the Member to change his time and form of payment election in accordance with Section 409A if such right has been so provided by the ELT member and approved by the Committee.


SECTION 5.        INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNT.
5.1    Creation of Accounts. The Company will maintain an Account (which may include Special Accruals) under the Plan in the name of each Member, as well as a separate Account for a Member’s Active Death Benefit SERP Transfer and Transfer to PSPP, and a separate Account for a Member’s In Service Transfer to PSSP, if applicable. Each Member’s Accounts will be credited with the amount of the Member’s Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals, Employer Accruals, Retirement Savings Contributions, and Special Accruals (if applicable), and will be adjusted for earnings and losses thereon.  
5.2    Payment Option Election. Except with respect to a Special Accrual, Active Death Benefit SERP Transfer, In Service Transfer to PSSP and Transfer to PSSP, and to the extent otherwise provided: (a) in a Written Agreement or (b) in this Section 5.2, at the time a Member is first eligible to elect to make Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals under the Plan or has a Retirement Savings Contribution credited to his or her Account under the Plan, the Member shall elect the particular Payment Option that is to apply to amounts credited to the Member’s Account (other than Grandfathered Amounts). For a Payment Option election to be effective, it must be made (i) within 30 days of the date the Employee is first eligible to participate in the Plan (as determined in accordance with consistent rules established by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion and in accordance with Section 409A). Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) any Member who has a Special Accrual under the Plan who has a right to elect a form of payment pursuant to the Written Agreement and as approved by an ELT member and the Committee shall only have 30 days from the date of initial eligibility (whether that date is with respect to the Special Accrual or with respect to the Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals, whichever is earlier) to elect his or her Payment Option for all non-Grandfathered amounts which he or she has the right to elect a Payment Option for under the Plan; and (2) any Eligible Employee who becomes eligible to participate in an account balance plan that must be aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A of the Code before he or she otherwise would become eligible to participate in this Plan has 30 days from the date he or she first becomes eligible to participate in such other plan to elect his or her Payment Option under the Plan. In the absence of a timely election (except as otherwise may be required 




- 9 -







pursuant to a Written Agreement and except in the case of an In Service Transfer to PSSP, Transfer to PSSP, or an Active Death Benefit SERP Transfer), the Member shall be deemed to have made a Payment Option to receive his or her Account under the Plan in a single lump sum payment in the January after his or her Separation from Service (other than with respect to Grandfathered Amounts). In addition, unless otherwise provided pursuant to a Written Agreement (and as approved by an ELT member and the Committee), a Member shall be deemed to have made a Payment Option election to receive the portion of his or her Account attributable to his or her Special Accrual under the Plan in a single lump sum payment in the January after his or her Separation from Service. Except as provided in Section 5.3 below, or if payment is subsequently re-deferred in accordance with Section 6.8 and subject to the rules on Key Employee payments as provided in Section 6.5, any Payment Option election made or deemed made under the Plan shall apply with respect to a Member’s entire Account under the Plan (except with respect to Grandfathered Amounts, Active Death Benefit SERP Transfers, Transfers to PSSP, and In Service Transfers to PSSP).
5.3    Exceptions to Binding Payment Option Election. Notwithstanding any Payment Option elected (or deemed elected): (i) if the value of a Member’s account on the last business day of the calendar year of the Member’s Separation from Service (excluding Grandfathered Amounts credited to the Member’s Account) is $10,000 or less the Member’s Payment Option election shall be to be paid in a lump sum in the January following the Member’s termination; or (ii) if a Member who was a Participant in the Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan requests a distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency the portion of the Member’s Account attributable to amounts accrued under the Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan (as adjusted for earnings and losses and other than Grandfathered amounts, which shall be paid in accordance with the terms of that Prior Plan) to the extent requested on account of the Unforeseeable Emergency shall be paid in a lump sum the next business day after the Unforeseeable Emergency (in accordance with uniform rules established by the Committee and in accordance with 409A); (iii) if a Member ceases to be an Eligible Employee and subsequently becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, he or she may elect a new Payment Option that shall apply with respect to any amounts credited to his or her Accounts under the Plan after the date of his or her re-eligibility (provided the Employee becomes an Eligible Employee in a different calendar year than the year in which he or she ceased to be an Eligible Employee), and if no such election is made, the portion of the Account accrued with respect to the new eligibility period shall be paid in a single lump sum in the January after Separation from Service (or as otherwise required in this Section 5.3); (iv) if a Member has a Special Accrual under the Plan with any Payment Option election made or deemed made by the Member in accordance with Section 5.2, then the exceptions to the Payment Option elected as provided for in this Section 5.3 (or Section 6.8) shall not apply to amounts attributable to the Special Accrual unless otherwise provided in the terms of the Written Agreement as approved by an ELT member and the Committee; and (v) if a Member dies before distribution of his or her entire Account, the Payment Option election shall be canceled and the entire account (including any Special Accrual, Active Death Benefit SERP Transfer, In Service Transfer to PSSP and Transfer to PSSP) shall be paid in a single lump sum distribution the January following the Member’s death.  
5.4    Investments. All Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals and Retirement Savings Contributions will be credited with an amount equal to the amount which would have been earned had such amounts been actually invested in one or more of the “Funds” (other than the Pfizer Match Fund available for investment under the Qualified Plan), as the Member may be defaulted into or elect from time to time, in one percent (1%) increments.  To the extent no investment election is provided when any amounts are credited to the Plan or otherwise, then each of such amounts shall be deemed to be invested in the Designated Default Fund under the Plan. The initial In Service Transfer to PSSP shall be deemed to be invested in the Designated Default Fund under the Plan. The portion of the Member’s Account attributable to the true-up to the In Service Transfer to PSSP, Employer Accruals, Active Death Benefit SERP Transfers and Transfers to PSSP shall be deemed to be invested in accordance with the Member’s investment elections. Rules similar to those which govern the Qualified Plan shall apply for purposes of determining the value of the deemed investments (but based on this Plan’s valuation dates) and the timing, frequency and permissibility of investment transfers. No provision of this Plan shall require the Company or any other Employer to actually invest any amount in any “Fund” or in any other investment vehicle. The Plan is an unfunded plan that is not subject to the funding requirements of ERISA, meaning that there are no actual investments held in a trust. The Accounts represent 




- 10 -







unsecured obligations of the Company, and no funds are set aside from the Company’s general assets to cover such Accounts. The Plan is subject to the full faith and credit of the Company, and Members would be general creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, distributions and withdrawals from the Plan are valued as of the last business day of the calendar quarter preceding the calendar quarter of the distribution. Withdrawals on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency are valued as of the last business day of the month preceding the day that the withdrawal request is received. Payments that would otherwise be made but are delayed on account of a Member being a Key Employee are valued on the distribution date.
With respect to a Member subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, an election to transfer a portion of his/her Account into, or out of, the Pfizer company stock funds, shall be permitted only if the Member has not elected during the immediately preceding six (6) months to transfer out of, or into, such funds within this Plan, any Pfizer company stock funds under the Qualified Plan or the unit account within any compensation plan maintained by the Company for the benefit of its non-employee directors. 


SECTION 6.        DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS.
6.1    Distribution of Benefits. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, distribution of a Member’s Grandfathered Amounts shall be paid in accordance with the distribution provisions of the Prior Plans. Except as otherwise provided in this Section and the Plan, a Member shall be paid the balance of his Account following his or her Separation from Service in accordance with the Payment Option or Payment Options elected (or deemed elected by the Member) by the Member as permitted under the Plan. A Member may have different Payment Option elections with respect to the portions of his or her Account, for example, for a Special Accrual or for a Transfer to PSSP account or for a Member who was ineligible or a period of time and subsequently became eligible and was permitted or deemed to have made a new Payment Option election under the Plan with respect to future accruals under the Plan, and in accordance with Section 409A.
6.2.    Benefits Subject to Withholding. The benefits payable under this Plan shall be subject to the deduction of any federal, state, or local income taxes, employment taxes or other taxes which are required to be withheld from such payments by applicable laws and regulations. Any taxes owed by the Member with respect to any deferral, accrual or benefit payable under this Plan may be withheld from other compensation of the Member in the year in which such tax liability accrues.
6.3    Disability. Notwithstanding any elected Payment Option or deemed elected Payment Option (made or deemed made), if the Member incurs a Disability under the Plan, the balance of the Member’s Account shall be paid in accordance with the Payment Option elected the January following the Disability, except with respect to Grandfathered Amounts shall be payable in accordance with the terms of that Prior Plan. Section 6.3 shall not apply to any In Service Transfer to PSSP or Transfer to PSSP. 


6.4    Distributions on Account of Unforeseeable Emergency. Notwithstanding any elected Payment Option or deemed elected Payment Option made (or deemed made) by a Member who was a Participant in the Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan, upon the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency, a Member may withdraw all or any portion of his or her Account balance attributable to amounts accrued under the Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan (as adjusted for earnings and losses) provided that the amounts distributed with respect to an Unforeseeable Emergency (including any Grandfathered Amounts distributed under the rules of the Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan) may not exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such Unforeseeable Emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Member’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship) or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. Distributions of Grandfathered Amounts for a hardship or unforeseeable emergency shall be governed by the terms of the Prior Plan.  






- 11 -







6.5    Delay for Key Employees. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, distributions (other than distributions of Grandfathered Amounts) may not be made to a Key Employee upon a Separation from Service before the date which is six (6) months after the date of the Key Employee’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Key Employee). Any payments that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid on the day that is six (6) months following the Member’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the January following the Member’s death).


6.6    Distributions upon Death. Notwithstanding any elected Payment Option or deemed elected Payment Option made (or deemed made) by the Member, if a Member dies before distribution of his or her Account balance has begun, any remaining balance shall be distributed in a lump sum payment to the Member’s Beneficiary the January following the calendar year in which the Member’s death occurs. The immediately preceding sentence also applies with respect to amounts accrued under the Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan (as adjusted for earnings and losses) other than Grandfathered Amounts under that plan.


6.7    Change in Control.  No amounts shall be distributed upon a “Change in Control Event” as described in Code section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) or otherwise
6.8    Redeferrals. Notwithstanding any elected Payment Option or deemed elected Payment Option made (or deemed made), except with respect to Special Accruals for which the Member was not provided with a redeferral option under the Written Agreement, a Member may make one or more subsequent elections to change the form of a distribution for a deferred amount, provided that such an election shall be effective only if the following conditions are satisfied:


		
	(a)
	The election may not take effect for at least twelve (12) months and the election must be on file with the Plan Administrator for at least twelve (12) months prior to the Member’s Separation from Service;




		
	(b)
	The election must be made at least twelve (12) months before payments would have otherwise begun; and




		
	(c)
	In the case of an election to change the form of a distribution upon a Member’s Separation from Service, a distribution may not be made earlier than at least five (5) years from the date the distribution (or, with respect to installments, the first scheduled installment) would have otherwise been made. 




Members who have elected to receive their distribution (or portion thereof) in installments may not change the corresponding election once their installment distributions have begun or in the event of a rehire.


Members who pursuant to a Written Agreement are permitted to specify a Payment Option with respect to a Special Accrual shall also have the redeferral rights provided in this Section 6.8 except as otherwise provided in the Written Agreement.


6.9    Effect of Taxation. If a portion of the Member’s Account balance is includible in income under Section 409A, such portion shall be distributed immediately to the Member.  


6.10    Permitted Delays. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment on account of a Member under the Plan shall be delayed upon the Committee’s reasonable anticipation of one or more of the following events:






- 12 -







(a)    The Company’s deduction with respect to such payment would be eliminated by application of Code section 162(m); or


(b)    The making of the payment would violate federal securities laws or other applicable law;


provided, that any payment delayed pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be paid in accordance with Section 409A.
SECTION 7.        NATURE OF INTEREST OF MEMBER.
Participation in this Plan will not create, in favor of any Member, any rights or lien in or against any of the assets of the Company or any Employer, and all amounts of Excess Regular Earnings, Retirement Savings Contributions, Special Accruals, Active Death Benefit SERP Transfer, In Service Transfer to PSSP, Transfer to PSSP and Employer Accruals deferred hereunder shall at all times remain an unrestricted asset of the Company or the Employer. A Member’s rights to benefits payable under the Plan are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between any Employer and a Member or any person, and the Company’s and each Employer’s promise to pay benefits hereunder shall at all times remain unfunded as to the Member.
SECTION 8.        BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.
A Member’s beneficiary under this Plan will automatically be the same as such Member’s beneficiary under the Qualified Plan unless a separate designation of beneficiary form for this Plan has been properly filed with the Committee or its authorized designee in accordance with any rule established by the Committee and received prior to the death of the Member. In the absence of a designation of specific beneficiary under either the Qualified Plan or this Plan, which beneficiary survives the Member, upon the Member’s death, except to the extent as may otherwise be provided with respect to amounts attributable to accruals made under the Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan prior to January 1, 2007 (including Grandfathered Amounts) which shall be governed by the terms of that Plan, payment of his Account shall be made to the Member’s estate in a lump sum in the January following the Member’s death.
SECTION 9.        ADMINISTRATION.
9.1    Committee. This Plan will be administered by the Committee.
9.2    Powers of the Committee. The Committee’s powers under this Plan are the same as are described in the Qualified Plan and include, but are not limited to, the power:
(a)    to determine who are Eligible Employees for purposes of participation in the Plan;
(b)    to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and the Prior Plans and to determine any and all questions arising under the Plan or Prior Plans, including without limitation, the right to remedy possible ambiguities, inconsistencies, or omissions by a general rule or particular decision; and
(c)    to adopt rules consistent with the Plan or Prior Plans.
9.3    Claims Procedure. This Section 9.3 and Section 9.4 shall apply with respect to a Member’s entire Account under the Plan including Grandfathered Amounts under this Plan and the Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan. Any request by a Member or any other person for any benefit alleged to be due under the Plan shall be known as a “Claim” and the Member or other person making a Claim, or the authorized representative of either, shall be known as a “Claimant.” The Committee has sole discretion to determine whether a 




- 13 -







communication from an individual shall be a Claim for purposes of this Section 9.3 and Section 9.4. To the extent of their responsibility to review benefit claims or to review the denial of benefit claims, the Committee and the reviewer shall have full authority to interpret and apply, in their discretion, the provisions of the Plan. The decisions of the Committee and reviewer shall be final and binding upon any and all Claimants, including, but not limited to, Members and their Beneficiaries, and any other individuals making a Claim or requesting review of a Claim through or under them, and shall be afforded the maximum deference permitted by law. A Member may not maintain a court action over a disputed claim until he or she has exhausted the Plan’s claims procedures.
Claimant may submit a written application to the Committee for payment of any benefit that he believes may be due him under the Plan, in accordance with Plan procedures. Such application shall include a general description of the benefit which the Claimant believes is due, the reasons the Claimant believes such benefit is due and any information as the Committee may reasonably request. The Committee will process the Claimant’s application within ninety (90) days of the receipt of the Claim by the Committee unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the Claim. In such event, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial ninety (90) day period but in no event shall the extension exceed a period of ninety (90) days from the end of such initial period. The notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render the final decision. If the Committee has not determined the Claimant’s eligibility for a Plan benefit within this ninety (90) day period (one hundred eighty (180) day period if circumstances require an extension of time), the Claim is deemed denied. A Claim is considered approved only if such approval is memorialized by the Committee in writing.
If a Claim is denied in whole or in part, the notice of denial shall set forth (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the Claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, (iv) an explanation of the Plan’s claim review procedure, and (v) an explanation that, if an adverse determination is made on review, the Claimant may have a right to bring civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. Within sixty (60) days of the receipt of a notice of denial of a Claim in whole or in part or a deemed denial, a Claimant (i) may request a review upon written application to the Committee, (ii) may review documents pertinent to the Claim, and (iii) may submit issues and comments in writing to the Committee. The Claimant shall be provided upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to all documents, records and other information relevant to the Claimant’s Claim for benefits.
The Committee will review a Claim for which a request for review has been made and render a decision not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for review; provided, however, that if special circumstances require extension of a time for processing, a decision shall be rendered no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for review. Written notice of any such extension shall be furnished to the Claimant within sixty (60) days after receipt of request for review. The Committee’s decision shall be in writing and shall set forth (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial on review, (ii) specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial on review is based, (iii) an explanation that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant’s Claim for benefits, and (iv) an explanation that if an adverse determination is made on review, the Claimant may have the right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. If the decision on review is not furnished within the applicable time, the Claim shall be deemed denied on review.
9.4    Limitation on Period for Filing Claims. No claim for benefits based upon a claim that contributions were not properly made under this Plan shall be approved under this Plan, and no action may be brought for benefits under this Plan pursuant to the denial of such a claim pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Plan, unless such claim for benefits is duly filed under Section 9.3 of this Plan no later than the last day of the first 




- 14 -







Plan Year beginning after the Plan Year in which the claim alleges that the contributions should have been credited. No court action may be brought for benefits under this Plan pursuant to the denial of a Claim unless duly filed no later than the one year anniversary of the final denial of such Claim by the Committee.
SECTION 10.    NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.
No provisions of the Plan or any action taken by the Company, the Board of Directors, the Committee, or any of their properly authorized representatives shall give any person any right to be retained in the employ of any Employer, and the right and power of the Company or any Employer to dismiss or discharge any Member is specifically reserved.
SECTION 11.    AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION, AND TERMINATION.
The Board of Directors or its authorized designee shall have the rights to amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time, except that the Committee may make non-substantive administrative changes to this Plan so as to conform with or take advantage of governmental requirements, statutes or regulations.  Except as provided in the next sentence, no amendment, modification or termination shall, without the consent of a Member, adversely affect the amount of the Member’s benefits in his or her Account as of the date of such amendment, modification or termination. Upon termination of the Plan, distribution of the balances in Accounts shall be made to Members and Beneficiaries in the manner and at the time described in the Plan (or the Prior Plan) unless the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee determines in its sole and absolute discretion that all such amounts shall be distributed upon termination and in accordance with the requirements under Section 409A. Upon termination of the Plan, no further deferrals of eligible compensation shall be permitted; however, earnings, gains and losses shall continue to be credited to Account balances in accordance with the Plan until the Account balances are fully distributed.


In the event the Plan is terminated, the Committee shall continue to administer the Plan in accordance with the relevant provisions thereof until the Member’s benefits have been paid hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment of the Plan shall apply to Grandfathered Amounts, unless the amendment specifically provides that it applies to such amounts. The purpose of this restriction is to prevent a Plan amendment from resulting in an inadvertent “material modification” to Grandfathered Amounts.
SECTION 12    PROVISIONS GOVERNED BY CODE SECTION 409A
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms of the Plan are intended to, and shall be interpreted and applied so as to, comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 409A. Any provision of this Plan governing the timing or form of payment of benefits hereunder may be modified by the Plan Administrator if, and to the extent deemed necessary or advisable, to comply with Section 409A including, but not limited to, a 6-month delay in payment to a Key Employee, which shall be paid as provided in Section 6.5. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as an admission that any of the benefits payable under this Plan (or any predecessor Plan) constitutes “deferred compensation” subject to the provisions of Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Plan comply with Section 409A and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by a Member on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

COMPANY’S NUTRITIONALS BUSINESS TO NESTLE


Effective as of the “Closing Date” as defined pursuant to the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement between Pfizer Inc. and Nestle S.A. (the “Purchaser”) dated as of April 21, 2012 (the “Nestle Agreement”), the Company agreed to divest certain assets related to its Nutritionals business as of the closing date (the “Nestle Closing Date”) as defined in such agreement. This Appendix A sets out additional provisions that apply to certain participants in the PSSP who will be transferring employment to the Purchaser and will no longer be eligible to participate in the PSSP as of the Closing Date (the “Nestle Employees”) who were Members as of the day immediately preceding the Nestle Closing Date.


 
		
	1.
	Vesting. Any Nestle Employee who is not fully vested in his or her Account as of the Nestle Closing Date, shall be 100% vested.




		
	2.
	Retirement Savings Contributions. Notwithstanding anything in the PSSP to the contrary, the Account of an Affected Employee, who is a Retirement Savings Eligible Employee on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, shall be credited with a Retirement Savings Contribution in respect of the Plan Year ending December 31, 2012 in the amount, determined in accordance with the PSSP expressed as a percentage of the Retirement Savings Eligible Employee’s Regular Earnings, based on his or her Regular Earnings up until the Closing Date, but only if such Affected Employee has an Account under the Pfizer Savings Plan on the date Retirement Savings Contributions are credited under the PSSP for 2012 contributions. Such Retirement Savings Contribution shall be made in the form and at the time set forth in the PSSP and shall be immediately 100% vested when made. 


















APPENDIX B
           SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO 
ZOETIS INC. EMPLOYEES


Pursuant to the Form S-1 Registration Statement filed by Pfizer Inc. regarding Zoetis Inc. (“Zoetis”), the Company intends to hold an initial public offering of the Class A shares of Zoetis, and following the offering, make a tax-free distribution to its stockholders of all or a portion of its equity interest in Zoetis (the “Zoetis Split-off”). In connection with and prior to the initial public offering of Zoetis and the Zoetis Split-off, Zoetis will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Zoetis and the Company will enter into agreements that provide for certain transactions that will transfer the assets and liabilities of the Company’s animal health business to Zoetis that will result in the separation of the animal health business from the Company (the “Zoetis Separation”), and certain participants in the PSSP will be transferring employment to Zoetis (the “Zoetis Employees”). Zoetis Employees in the Plan shall continue to be eligible to participate in the PSSP after the Zoetis Separation.

SECTION 1.        CONTINUATION AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.
1.1    Continuation. There is hereby continued for the benefit of Members an unfunded plan of deferred compensation known as the “Pfizer Inc Nonfunded Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Savings Plan.”
1.2    Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide a means by which an Eligible Employee may, in certain circumstances, elect to defer receipt of a portion of his “Regular Earnings.” The Plan also provides that the Company will, in certain instances, credit the Account of a Member with Employer Accruals.
1.3    Description of the Plan. The Plan became effective July 1, 1983 and is amended and restated effective February 1, 2002, except as otherwise provided herein. For purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended, the Plan shall be treated as two separate, unfunded plans. One plan shall be an “excess benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(36) of ERISA, and shall be comprised of accruals under the Plan that are made solely because of the applicable limitations under Section 415 of the Code, plus earnings thereon. All other accruals under the Plan, plus earnings thereon, shall be treated as made under a separate “top-hat” plan maintained by the Company primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meanings of Sections 201(a)(2) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. Separate accounts shall be maintained under the Plan for each Member, as applicable, to account for excess benefit plan accruals and earnings, and top-hat plan accruals and earnings.

2.13    Member. The term Member means an Eligible Employee who elects to have Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals made to the Plan or is otherwise credited with an Employer Accrual.
2.14    Payment Options. The term “Payment Option” means the following forms of payment under which a Member may elect to receive amounts credited to his Account upon his termination of employment with the Controlled Group: (i) single sum payable as soon as practicable following the end of the Plan Year in which the Member terminates employment with the Controlled Group, or (ii) substantially equal annual installment payments over a period of two to twenty years commencing as soon as practicable following the end of the Plan Year in which the Member terminates employment with the Controlled Group.

The Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may terminate the designation of an employee as an Eligible Employee at any time.
3.2    Election to Make Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals. An Eligible Employee may elect at any time after becoming eligible to begin making Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals by filing an election with the Committee or its authorized designee in accordance with this Section 3 and any rules established by the Committee. Such election will be effective on a prospective basis beginning with the payroll period that occurs as soon as administratively practicable following receipt of the election by the Committee or its authorized designee.


2









3.3    Amendment or Suspension of Election. Members may change (including, suspend) their existing Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals election under this Plan during the Plan Year by filing a new election in accordance with the prescribed administrative guidelines. Such new election will be effective on a prospective basis beginning with the payroll period that occurs as soon as administratively practicable following receipt of the election by the Committee or its authorized designee. A Member shall not be permitted to make up suspended Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals, and during any period in which a Member’s Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals are suspended, the Employer Accruals under the Plan with respect to Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals shall also be suspended. A Member who receives a hardship withdrawal under the Qualified Plan shall be suspended from making Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals hereunder for a period of six (6) months from the date of such withdrawal.
3.4    Amount of Elections. Each election filed by an Eligible Employee must specify the amount of Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals in a whole percentage from 1% to 20% of the Member’s Excess Regular Earnings unless the Committee establishes a lesser percentage for the Plan Year; provided, however, that, with respect to an Eligible Employee who is also eligible to participate in the Qualified Plan, the rate of Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals hereunder for any payroll period shall not exceed the rate at which the Member was contributing to the Qualified Plan on a combined pre-tax and post-tax basis for the current year.
SECTION 4.        EMPLOYER ACCRUALS.
4.1    General Rule.
An Employer Accrual will be credited to a Member’s Account with respect to the eligible portion of Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals of such Member at the applicable rate of “Matching Contributions” with respect to “After-Tax Contributions” and “Before-Tax Contributions” under the Qualified Plan. The Employer Accrual shall be credited as soon as practicable following the payroll period for which the Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals are made. The eligible portion of a Member’s Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals shall be limited to six percent (6%) of such Excess Regular Earnings for each payroll period. In addition, an Employer Accrual will be credited as of the end of each Plan Year to a Member’s Account equal to the difference between (i) the amount that would have been credited to the Member’s account under the Qualified Plan as a “Matching Contribution,” including Additional Contribution, if any, if the Limitations were not applicable to the Member under the Qualified Plan during such Plan Year and (ii) the “Matching Contributions,” including Additional Contributions, if any, actually credited to the Member’s account under the Qualified Plan during such Plan Year. Lastly, an Employer Accrual will be credited to the Account of a Member who elects to defer his bonus under the Warner-Lambert Company Incentive Compensation Plan (“ICP”). The amount of such Employer Accrual will be equal to the product of: (i) six percent (6%) of the bonus deferred under the ICP, and (ii) the applicable rate of “Matching Contributions” with respect to “After-Tax Contributions” and “Before-Tax Contributions” under the Qualified Plan. The Employer Accrual shall be credited as soon as practical following the payroll period in which the bonus is deferred.
4.2    Special Employer Accrual for Certain Former Warner-Lambert Employees.
In the case of any Eligible Employee who (i) was an “Eligible Participant” under the Warner-Lambert Savings and Stock Plan as in effect on January 31, 2002 (the “Warner-Lambert Plan”), (ii) is a participant under the Warner-Lambert Enhanced Severance Plan on May 15, 2003, (iii) has completed at least three years of Plan membership (including Warner-Lambert Plan membership) under the Qualified Plan as of May 15, 2003, and (iv) was an Eligible Employee on May 15, 2003, an Employer Accrual shall be credited to such Eligible Employee’s Account in an amount equal to the difference between (a) and (b) below:
(a)    the “Matching Contribution” which would have been made to the Eligible Employee’s account under the Qualified Plan with respect to the period June 1, 2002 through May 15, 2003 if such “Matching Contribution” had been based on the terms of Article 5 of the Warner-Lambert Plan, assuming an additional matching contribution rate of 65%; and


3









(b)    the “Matching Contribution” actually made to the Eligible Employee’s account under the Qualified Plan with respect to the period June 1, 2002 through May 15, 2003.
This Employer Accrual shall be credited as soon as practicable following the payroll period which includes May 15, 2003.
4.3    Special Employer Accrual for Certain Former Agouron Employees.
In the case of any Eligible Employee who (i) was an “Eligible Employee” under the Agouron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 401(k) Plan as in effect on January 31, 2002 (the “Agouron Plan”), (ii) was a participant under the Warner-Lambert Enhanced Severance Plan on May 15, 2003, and (iii) was an Eligible Employee on May 15, 2003, an Employer Accrual shall be credited to such Eligible Employee’s Account in an amount equal to the difference between (a) and (b) below:
(a)    the “Matching Contribution” which would have been made to the Eligible Employee’s account under the Qualified Plan with respect to the period June 1, 2002 through May 15, 2003 if such “Matching Contribution” had been based on the terms of Article 6.4 of the Agouron Plan, assuming an additional matching contribution rate of 35%; and
(b)    the “Matching Contribution” actually made to the Eligible Employee’s Account under the Qualified Plan with respect to the period June 1, 2002 through May 15, 2003.
This Employer Accrual shall be credited as soon as practicable following the payroll period which includes May 15, 2003.
SECTION 5.        INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNT.
5.1    Creation of Accounts. The Company will maintain an Account under the Plan in the name of each Member. Each Member’s Account will be credited with the amount of the Member’s Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals, Employer Accruals, and will be adjusted for earnings and losses thereon. In the case of Members covered under both the “excess benefit” and “top-hat” portions of the Plan, separate accounts will be maintained to reflect the Members’ interest in each such portion of the Plan.
5.2    Payment Account Option Election. Each Member shall elect the particular Payment Option that is to apply to amounts credited to the Member’s Account. In order for a Payment Option election to be effective, it must be made (i) no later than ninety (90) days (one hundred and eighty (180) days for employment terminations on or after January 1, 2003) prior to the date the Member terminates employment with the Controlled Group, and (ii) in a taxable year preceding the taxable year in which payment would otherwise be made or commence. In the absence of a timely election, payment of the Member’s Account will be made in accordance with the most recent Payment Option election which satisfies the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence or, in the absence of any such Payment Option election, in five (5) substantially equal annual installments commencing as soon as practicable following the end of the Plan Year in which the Member terminates employment with the Controlled Group. The foregoing notwithstanding, in any case where the value of the Member’s Plan Account is less than ten percent (10%) of the value of the Member’s interest in both the Plan and the Qualified Plan, payment of the Member’s Account shall be made in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the end of the Plan Year in which the Member terminates employment with the Controlled Group. Upon a Member becoming “Disabled,” as determined under the Qualified Plan, the balance of the Member’s Account shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
5.3    Investments. All Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals will be credited with an amount equal to the amount which would have been earned had such amounts been actually invested in one or more of the “Funds” (other than the Pfizer Match Fund) available for investment under the Qualified Plan, as the Member may elect from time to time, in one percent (1%) increments. The portion of the Member’s Account attributable to Employer Accruals shall be deemed to be invested in the Pfizer Match Fund. Rules similar to those which govern the Qualified Plan shall apply for purposes of determining the value of the deemed investments and the timing, frequency and permissibility of investment transfers, except that no 


4









diversification of Employer Accruals which are deemed to be invested in the Pfizer Match Fund shall be permitted. No provision of this Plan shall require the Company or any other Employer to actually invest any amount in any “Fund” or in any other investment vehicle. The Plan is an unfunded plan that is not subject to the funding requirements of ERISA, meaning that there are no actual investments held in a trust. The Accounts represent unsecured obligations of the Company, and no funds are set aside from the Company’s general assets to cover such Accounts. The Plan is subject to the full faith and credit of the Company, and Members would be general creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency.
With respect to a Member subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, an election to transfer a portion of his Account into, or out of, the “Pfizer Company Stock Fund” shall be permitted only if the Member has not elected during the immediately preceding six months to transfer out of, or into, such Fund within this Plan, the Pfizer Company Stock Fund under the Qualified Plan or the unit account within the Pfizer Inc Nonfunded Deferred Compensation and Unit Award Plan for Non-Employee Directors, the Pfizer Inc Retainer Units Award Plan for Non-Employee Directors, or the Pfizer Inc Deferred Compensation Plan.
SECTION 6.        PAYMENT.
6.1    Payment of Benefits. A Member shall be paid the balance of his Account following termination of employment in accordance with the Payment Option elected by the Member. Upon the death of a Member, the Member’s beneficiary shall be paid the balance of the Member’s Account in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the death of the Member.
6.2.    Benefits Subject to Withholding. The benefits payable under this Plan shall be subject to the deduction of any federal, state, or local income taxes, employment taxes or other taxes which are required to be withheld from such payments by applicable laws and regulations. Any employment taxes owed by the Member with respect to any deferral, accrual or benefit payable under this Plan may be withheld from other compensation of the Member in the year in which such tax liability accrues.
SECTION 7.        NATURE OF INTEREST OF MEMBER.
Participation in this Plan will not create, in favor of any Member, any rights or lien in or against any of the assets of the Company or any Employer, and all amounts of Excess Regular Earnings deferred hereunder shall at all times remain an unrestricted asset of the Company or the Employer. A Member’s rights to benefits payable under the Plan are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between any Employer and a Member or any person, and the Company’s and each Employer’s promise to pay benefits hereunder shall at all times remain unfunded as to the Member.
SECTION 8.        BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.
A Member’s beneficiary under this Plan will automatically be the same as such Member’s beneficiary under the Qualified Plan unless a separate designation of beneficiary form for this Plan has been properly filed with the Committee or its authorized designee in accordance with any rule established by the Committee. In the absence of a designation of specific beneficiary under either the Qualified Plan or this Plan, which beneficiary survives the Member, upon the Member’s death, payment of his Account shall be made to his estate in a lump sum as soon as practicable.
SECTION 9.        ADMINISTRATION.
9.1    Committee. This Plan will be administered by the Committee.
9.2    Powers of the Committee. The Committee’s powers under this Plan are the same as are described in the Qualified Plan and include, but are not limited to, the power:


5









		
	(i)
	to determine who are Eligible Employees for purposes of participation in the Plan;


		
	(ii)
	to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and to determine any and all questions arising under the Plan, including without limitation, the right to remedy possible ambiguities, inconsistencies, or omissions by a general rule or particular decision; and


		
	(iii)
	to adopt rules consistent with the Plan.


9.3    Claims Procedure. The Committee shall make, in its sole discretion, all determinations arising in the administration, construction or interpretation of the Plan including the right to construe disputed or doubtful Plan terms and provisions, and any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons, except as otherwise provided by law. Any claim by a Member or any other person for any benefit alleged to be due under the Plan shall be made in writing to the Committee. Within 90 days of the filing of such claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of such period, such person will be given notice in writing of the approval or denial of the claims. If the claim is denied, the notice will set forth the reason for the denial, the Plan provisions on which the denial is based, an explanation of what other material or information, if any, is needed to perfect the claim, and an explanation of the claims review procedure. The claimant may request a review of such denial within 60 days of the date of receipt of such denial by filing notice in writing with the Committee. The claimant will have the right to review pertinent Plan documents and to submit issues and comments in writing. The Committee will respond in writing to a request for review within 60 days of receiving it, unless special circumstances require an extension of such period. The Committee, in its discretion, may request a meeting to clarify any matters deemed appropriate.
9.4    Limitation on Period for Filing Claims. No claim for benefits based upon a claim that contributions were not properly made under this Plan shall be approved under this Plan, and no action may be brought for benefits under this Plan pursuant to the denial of such a claim pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Plan, unless such claim for benefits is duly filed under Section 9.3 of this Plan no later than the last day of the second Plan Year beginning after the Plan Year in which the claim alleges that the contributions should have been credited.
SECTION 10.    NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.
No provisions of the Plan or any action taken by the Company, the Board of Directors, the Committee, or any of their properly authorized representatives shall give any person any right to be retained in the employ of any Employer, and the right and power of the Company or any Employer to dismiss or discharge any Member is specifically reserved.
SECTION 11.    AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION, AND TERMINATION.
The Board of Directors or its authorized designee shall have the rights to amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time, except that the Committee may make non-substantive administrative changes to this Plan so as to conform with or take advantage of governmental requirements, statutes or regulations. No amendment, modification or termination shall, without the consent of a Member, adversely affect the amount of the Member’s benefits in his or her Account as of the date of such amendment, modification or termination. Any modification, amendment or termination may accelerate the time at which any Member is entitled to a distribution. In the event the Plan is terminated, the Committee shall continue to administer the Plan in accordance with the relevant provisions thereof until the Member’s benefits have been paid hereunder.

APPENDIX D.


Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan as in effect on 12/31/04. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, the provisions of this Plan shall apply to Grandfathered Amounts transferred from the Pharmacia Savings Plus Plan 
Pharmacia
Savings Plus+Plan
Amended & Restated Effective as of July 1, 2002
















PURPOSE
In recognition of the services provided by certain key employees, the Board of Directors of Pharmacia & Upjohn, Inc. (“P&U”) adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) to make additional retirement benefits and increased financial security, on a tax-deferred basis, available to those individuals, effective July 1, 1999. Under the Plan, P&U provided a vehicle that will allow additional future compensation to be paid to key employees so that such employees may be retained and their productive efforts encouraged.
Effective September 22, 1999, the Board of Directors of P&U amended and restated the Plan to permit a new Affiliate, Sugen, Inc., to join the Plan as a “Company” and permit its Eligible Employees, as defined below, to make an Incentive Deferral, as defined below, as well as other forms of Compensation Deferrals, as defined below, when and if eligible.
On March 31, 2000, the Board of Directors of P&U amended and restated the Plan to reflect the transaction by which P&U became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pharmacia Corporation (“Pharmacia”). On December 7, 2000, the Board of Directors of Pharmacia amended the Plan to (i) require deferral under this Plan of any incentive compensation earned under the Pharmacia Corporation Cash Long-Term Incentive Plan and (ii) permit deferral under this Plan of benefits payable under the Pharmacia Corporation Key Executive Pension Plan or payment under any other individual contractual pension arrangements for key executives at the Participant’s election. The Plan was subsequently amended to reflect the Company’s adoption of the Pharmacia Corporation Long-Term Performance Share Unit Incentive Plan, effective January 1, 2002.
Effective July 1, 2002, the Plan was amended to conform to Pharmacia’s Retirement Choice Program by including a “restoration” arrangement and a “bonus deferral” arrangement. Also effective July 1, 2002, the Plan was amended to assume the obligations of the Pharmacia Corporation ERISA Parity Savings and Investment Plan and to make certain other changes relating to a Change in Control of Pharmacia. Accordingly, the Plan, as amended and restated as of the Amendment Effective Date, as defined below, now reads as follows:

Base Salary Deferral. “Base Salary Deferral” means the portion of a Participant’s Base Salary that the Participant has elected to defer pursuant to Article 4.

ACCOUNTS
5.1    Creation of Accounts. The Committee shall establish and maintain separate Accounts with respect to each Participant. The amount of the Participant’s Compensation Deferral and Rollover Deferral shall be credited by the Company to the Participant’s Account no later than the first day of the month following the month in which such Compensation would otherwise have been paid and immediately upon rollover pursuant to Section 6.3. The Participant’s Account shall be reduced by the amount of payments made by the Company to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan.
5.2    Compensation Deferrals. A Participant’s Account shall be credited with Compensation Deferrals in the following amount and manner:
(a)    Restoration Portion. If a Participant elects to convert his or her pre-tax deferrals under the Savings Plan directly to pre-tax deferrals under the Plan upon reaching the annual elective deferral limit under section 402(g) of the Code, the Participant’s Base Salary Deferrals shall commence on the date on which the attainment of the annual elective deferral limit under section 402(g) of the Code would have been reached if the Participant’s before-tax contribution rate under the Savings Plan that was in effect on the last day of the applicable enrollment period remained in effect throughout the remainder of the Plan Year. The amount of such Base Salary Deferrals shall be equal to the total percentage of Compensation that the Participant has elected to defer as pre-tax and after-tax deferrals under the Savings Plan. If a Participant elects to convert his or her pre-tax deferrals under the Savings Plan to after-tax deferrals under the Savings Plan upon reaching the annual elective deferral limit under section 402(g) of the Code, the Participant’s Base Salary Deferrals shall commence on the date on which the attainment of the annual addition limit under section 415 of the Code or the annual compensation limit under section 401(a)(17) of the Code would have been reached if the Participant’s before and after-tax contribution rates under the Savings Plan that were in effect on the last day of the applicable enrollment period remained in effect throughout the remainder of the Plan Year. The amount of such Base Salary Deferrals shall be equal to the percentage that the Participant has elected to defer as before-tax and after-tax deferrals under the Savings Plan.  
(b)    Bonus Deferral Portion. If a Participant has elected to defer all or a portion of his or her Bonus, the Participant’s Bonus Deferral shall commence on the date that the Participant would otherwise have received such Bonus in an amount equal to the percentage elected by the Participant. If a Participant has elected to make additional Base Salary Deferrals under the “bonus deferral” portion of the Plan, the Participant’s additional Base Salary Deferrals shall commence on the date on which the attainment of the annual elective deferral limit under section 402(g) of the Code, the annual addition limit under section 415 of the Code, or the annual compensation limit under section 401(a)(17) of the Code would have been reached if the Participant’s before and after-tax contribution rates under the Savings Plan that were in effect on the last day of the applicable enrollment period remained in effect throughout the remainder of the Plan Year in an amount equal to the percentage that the Participant has elected to defer under the “bonus deferral” portion of the Plan. The combined maximum amount that a Participant may defer under the Plan and the Savings Plan shall be 80% of the Participant’s Base Salary.
5.3    Earnings on Accounts. A Participant’s Account shall be credited with earnings in accordance with the Earnings Crediting Options elected by the Participant from time to time. Participants may allocate the sums credited to their Account among the Earnings Crediting Options available under the Plan only in whole percentages; provided, however, that the Company Contribution shall be deemed to be invested, and shall remain, in phantom shares of Voting Securities until the Participant reaches age 50. No Rollover Deferral shall be required to be deemed invested in phantom shares of Voting Securities. The deemed rate of return, positive or negative, credited under each Earnings Crediting Option is based upon the actual investment performance of the corresponding investment portfolios of the Savings Plan, or such other 


7









investment fund(s) as the Committee may designate from time to time, and shall equal the total return of such investment fund net of asset based charges, including, without limitation, money management fees, fund expenses, mortality and expense risk insurance contract charges, and such other administrative expenses as the Committee determines should be charged to the Participants’ Accounts. The Committee reserves the right, on a prospective basis, to add or delete Earnings Crediting Options; provided, however, that, following a CIC Consummation, the Committee (a) may not alter the Earnings Crediting Options (except to the extent that a change is made to the corresponding investment portfolios of the Savings Plan or, if such Plan is terminated, the comparable plan in which Employees of the Company are eligible to participate) and (b) may not increase any of the expenses charged to a Participant’s Account except to the extent such expenses apply to the corresponding investment portfolio maintained under the Savings Plan and are charged to Participants in that plan.
5.4    Earnings Crediting Options. Notwithstanding that the rates of return credited to Participants’ Account under the Earnings Crediting Options are based upon the actual performance of the corresponding portfolios of Savings Plan, or such other investment funds as the Committee may designate, the Company shall not be obligated to invest any Compensation deferred by Participants under this Plan, Company Contributions, or any other amounts, in such portfolios or in any other investment funds.
5.5    Changes in Earnings Crediting Options.  A Participant may change the Earnings Crediting Options to which the Participant’s Account is deemed to be allocated with whatever frequency is determined by the Committee which shall not be less than four times per Plan Year. Each such change may include (a) reallocation of the Participant’s existing Account in whole percentages and/or (b) change in investment allocation of amounts to be credited to the Participant’s Account in the future, as the Participant may elect. Following a CIC Consummation, the Committee shall not reduce the frequency of permitted changes.
5.6    Valuation of Accounts. The value of a Participant’s Account as of any date shall equal the amounts theretofore credited to such Account, including any earnings (positive or negative) deemed to be earned on such Account in accordance with Section 5.3 through the day preceding such date, less the amounts deducted from such Account.
5.7    Statement of Account. The Committee shall provide to each Participant, not less frequently than quarterly, a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the balance standing to the credit of each Participant in the Participant’s Account and the amount credited to and debited from such Account since the prior statement.

Any such election as to method and timing of payments following a CIC Consummation shall be made at least twelve (12) months prior to the date payment is to be made or commence, otherwise payments shall be made in one lump sum as specified in the first sentence of this paragraph (b); provided, however, that any such election made before October 1, 2002, shall be given effect if the Participant’s Termination Date is after a CIC Consummation.

In the event a Participant dies after annual installment benefits payable under Section 6.1 from the Participant’s Account has commenced, but before the entire balance of such Account has been paid, any remaining installments shall continue to be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary, as determined under Section 10.3, at such times and in such amounts as they would have been paid to the Participant had he survived, subject to such Beneficiary’s rights to obtain payment in accordance with Articles 8 and 10.
EMERGENCY BENEFIT
In the event that the Committee, upon written request of a Participant, determines that the Participant has suffered an “unforeseeable emergency” (or any similar circumstance under which a payment would be permitted, without causing the imposition of federal income taxes on Participant Accounts that have not been paid, pursuant to Revenue Procedure 92-65 or any successor Revenue Procedure, Revenue Ruling, regulation or other applicable administrative determination issued by the Internal Revenue Service), the Company shall pay to the Participant from the Participant’s Account, as soon as practicable following such determination, an amount necessary to meet the emergency, after deduction of any and all taxes as may be required pursuant to Section 11.8 (the “Emergency Benefit”), based on the value of the Participant’s Account as of the last business day of the month preceding the date of the distribution. 
MISCELLANEOUS
11.1    Amendment and Termination. The Plan may be amended, suspended, discontinued, or terminated at any time by action of the Board or its delegate; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension, discontinuance, or termination shall reduce or in any manner adversely affect the rights of any Participant or Beneficiary with respect to benefits that are payable or may become payable under the Plan based upon the balance of the Participant’s Accounts as of the effective date of such amendment, suspension, discontinuance, or termination. After a CIC Consummation, no amendment to the Plan may be made to this Section, Sections 5.3, 5.5, 5.7, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 or 11.11, or Articles 8, 9 or 10; provided, however, that changes may be made to Section 6.1 but only to the extent such changes are necessary, in the Committee’s reasonable judgment, upon the advice of nationally recognized legal counsel, to fulfill the intent of this Plan to defer federal income taxation of Participants with respect to their Accounts until such Accounts are paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
11.2    Claims Procedure.
(a)    Claim. A person who believes that he is being denied a benefit to which he is entitled under the Plan (hereinafter referred to as a “Claimant”) may file a written request for such benefit with the Committee, setting forth the claim.
(b)    Claim Decision. Upon receipt of a claim, the Committee shall advise the Claimant that a reply will be forthcoming within ninety days and shall, in fact, deliver such reply within such period. The Committee may, however, extend the reply period for an additional ninety days for reasonable cause.
If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Claimant shall be provided a written opinion, using language calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth:
(i)    The specific reason or reasons for such denial;


11









(ii)    The specific reference to pertinent provisions of this Agreement on which such denial is based;
(iii)    A description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his claim and an explanation why such material or such information is necessary;
(iv)    Appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit the claim for review; and
(v)    The time limits for requesting a review under subsection (c) and for review under subsection (d) hereof, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) following an adverse benefit determination on review.
(c)    Request for Review. Within sixty days after the receipt by the Claimant of the written opinion described above, the Claimant may request in writing that the Committee review the determination of the Committee. The Claimant or his duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the pertinent documents and submit written documents, records, comments and other information related to the claim for consideration by the Committee and shall be entitled to review, upon request without charge, copies of documents, records and all other information relevant to his claim. If the Claimant does not request a review of the initial determination within such sixty-day period, the Claimant shall be barred and estopped from challenging the determination.
(d)    Review of Decision. Within sixty days after the Committee’s receipt of a request for review, the Committee shall review the initial determination. After considering all materials presented by the Claimant, the Committee shall render a written opinion, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth the specific reasons for the decision, specific references to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement on which the decision is based, informing the Claimant of his right to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to his benefits, and informing the Claimant of his right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA. If special circumstances require that the sixty day time period be extended, the Committee shall so notify the Claimant and shall render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than one hundred twenty days after receipt of the request for review.
11.3    Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (which Beneficiary may be an entity other than a natural person) to receive any payments which may be made following the Participant’s death. Such designation may be changed or canceled at any time without the consent of any such Beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made in a form approved by the Committee and shall not be effective until received by the Committee, or its designee. If no Beneficiary has been named, or the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall have predeceased the Participant, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. If a Participant designates more than one Beneficiary, the interests of such Beneficiaries shall be paid in equal shares, unless the Participant has specifically designated otherwise.
11.4    Limitation of Participant’s Right. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as conferring upon any Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Company, nor shall it interfere with the rights of the Company to terminate the employment of any Participant and/or to take any personnel action affecting any Participant without regard to the effect which such action may have upon such Participant as a recipient or prospective recipient of benefits under the Plan. Any amounts payable hereunder shall not be deemed salary or other compensation to a Participant for the purposes of computing benefits to which the Participant may be entitled under any other arrangement established by the Employer for the benefit of its employees.


12









11.5    Obligations to Company. If a Participant becomes entitled to a distribution of benefits under the Plan, and if at such time the Participant has outstanding any debt, obligation, or other liability representing an amount owing to the Employer, then the Employer may offset such amount owed to it against the amount of benefits otherwise distributable. Such determination shall be made by the Committee.
11.6    Nonalienation of Benefits. Except as expressly provided herein, no Participant or Beneficiary shall have the power or right to transfer (otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), alienate, or otherwise encumber the Participant’s interest under the Plan. The Company’s obligations under this Plan are not assignable or transferable except to (a) any corporation or partnership which acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (b) any corporation or partnership into which the Company may be merged or consolidated. The provisions of the Plan shall inure to the benefit of each Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators, or successors in interest.
11.7    Protective Provisions. Each Participant shall cooperate with the Employer by furnishing any and all information reasonably requested by the Employer in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder. If a Participant refuses to cooperate, the Employer shall have no further obligation to the Participant under the Plan, other than payment to such Participant of the then current balance of the Participant’s Account in accordance with his prior elections.
11.8    Withholding Taxes. The Company may make such provisions and take such action as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes which the Company is required by any law or regulation of any governmental authority, whether federal, state or local, to withhold in connection with any benefits under the Plan, including, but not limited to, the withholding of appropriate sums from any amount otherwise payable to the Participant (or his Beneficiary). Each Participant, however, shall be responsible for the payment of all individual tax liabilities relating to any such benefits.
11.9    Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan of deferred compensation for Participants. Benefits payable hereunder shall be payable out of the general assets of the Company, and no segregation of any assets whatsoever for such benefits shall be made. Notwithstanding any segregation of assets or transfer to a grantor trust, with respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights to assets that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In the event that the Committee determines that a Change in Control is imminent, the Committee shall cause the Company to create and fund a grantor trust of the Company that shall serve as the vehicle for paying all benefits due under the Plan and the amount contributed by the Company shall be the amount the Committee determines would then be due if the Plan were to terminate and all benefits were then to be paid in lump sum. If a Change in Control shall not have occurred within six months of such contribution by the Company, the Board may adopt a resolution to the effect that a Change in Control is not imminent and, in that event, up to all amounts contributed to the Trust and all earnings thereon, shall be repaid to the Company at the direction of the Board.
11.10    Severability. If any provision of this Plan is held unenforceable, the remainder of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect without regard to such unenforceable provision and shall be applied as though the unenforceable provision were not contained in the Plan.
11.11    Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state of New Jersey, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws, to the extent not preempted by ERISA; provided, however, that upon a CIC Consummation any court or tribunal that adjudicates any dispute, controversy or claim arising between a Participant and the Committee, its delegate, the Company or an Affiliate (or any successor to either), relating to or concerning the provisions of this Plan, will apply a de novo standard of review to any determinations made by such person. Such de novo standard shall apply notwithstanding the grant of full discretion hereunder to any such person or characterization of any decision as final, binding or conclusive on any party.

11.14    Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the Human Resources Department, or to such other entity as the Committee may designate from time to time.
