CBS RETIREMENT EXCESS PENSION PLAN


 


PART B – AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT AS OF JANUARY 1, 2009


 


Section 1. 
Purpose.


 


The purpose of this CBS Retirement Excess Pension
Plan is to provide for the payment of certain pension and pension-related benefits
to certain employees of CBS Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries so
that the total pension and pension-related benefits of such employees can be
determined without regard to certain benefit limitations imposed on the CBS
Retirement Plan (the “Qualified Plan”) by Section 401(a)(17) and Section 415
of the Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and related
legislation.


 


Section 2.  2009
Amendment and Restatement and Grandfathered Status of Benefits Deferred Prior
to January 1, 2005.  The
Excess Pension Plan for Certain Employees of Viacom International Inc. was
adopted as of January 1, 1989, restated as of January 1, 1996,
renamed the Viacom Excess Pension Plan as of January 1, 2003, and further
renamed the CBS Retirement Excess Pension Plan as of December 31,
2005.  The Plan is hereby again amended
and restated, effective as of January 1, 2009, by the adoption of Part B
of the Plan, as set forth herein.  Part A
of the Plan, consisting of the original Plan and the amendments made prior to October 3,
2004, applies to a Participant’s benefit or any portion thereof that is
considered to have been Deferred under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005
(the “Section 409A Grandfathered Benefit”), in accordance with the terms
of those documents in effect from time to time prior to October 3,
2004.  The Section 409A
Grandfathered Benefit shall continue to be governed by the law applicable to
nonqualified deferred compensation prior to the codification of Code Section 409A.  The provisions of this Part B shall
apply to any portion of a Participant’s benefit that is considered to have been
Deferred on or after January 1, 2005. 
This Part B of the Plan is intended to meet all of the requirements
of Code Section 409A, so that Participants will be eligible to defer the
receipt of, and the liability for the federal income tax with respect to,
certain items of compensation from one year to a later year in accordance with
the provisions of applicable law and the provisions of the Plan.  With respect to the period commencing January 1,
2005 and ending December 31, 2008 and with respect to the portion of a
Participant’s benefit that is considered to have been Deferred during the 2005,
2006, 2007 or 2008 calendar year, the Plan was administered in accordance with
a reasonable, good faith interpretation of Code Section 409A, Treasury
Regulations, IRS Notices and other guidance issued thereunder, and such
interpretation shall govern the rights of a Participant with respect to that

which shall administer it in a manner consistent with the administration of the
Qualified Plan, except that this Plan shall be administered as an unfunded plan
that is not intended to meet the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of
the Code.  The Committee’s decisions in
all matters involving the interpretation and application of this Plan shall be
final.  The Committee may act on its own
behalf or through the actions of its duly authorized representative.


 


The Committee shall be the final review committee
under the Plan, with the authority to determine conclusively for all parties
any and all questions arising from the administration of the Plan, and shall
have sole and complete discretionary authority and control to manage the
operation and administration of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the
determination of all questions relating to eligibility for participation and
benefits, interpretation of all Plan provisions, determination of the amount
and kind of benefits payable to any participant, spouse or beneficiary, and
construction of disputed or doubtful terms. 
Such decisions shall be conclusive and binding on all parties and not
subject to further review.


 


Section 5.  Eligibility.


 


Employees who are eligible for benefits under the
Plan (“Participants”) are those Employees who are (i) participants in the
Qualified Plan whose annual base salary and commissions exceed the annual
compensation limit in effect under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, and (ii) are
designated by the Committee as an employee eligible to participate in the
Plan.  If an Employee becomes a
Participant in any calendar year, such Employee shall remain a Participant for
all future calendar years.


 


For purposes of this Plan, “Compensation” means the
total compensation taken into account under the Qualified Plan (without regard
to the limitations of Section 401(a)(17) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder).


 


A Participant’s Compensation under this Plan shall
be subject to a maximum annual Compensation of $750,000.  For Participants as of December 31,
1995, the maximum annual Compensation for the 1996 calendar year and each subsequent
calendar year shall be the Participant’s Compensation under the Plan for the
1995 calendar year.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, for any Participant who is also a participant in the New Viacom
Pension Plan and the New Viacom Excess Pension Plan after December 31,
2005, the maximum amount of Compensation under this Plan is limited to
$375,000.

Section 6.  Amount of
Benefit.


 


A.            The benefits payable
to a Participant under this Plan (the “Plan Benefit”) shall be equal to the
excess, if any, of:


 


(i)            the
benefits which would have been paid to such Participant under the Qualified
Plan, if the provisions of the Qualified Plan were administered without regard
to the limitations required by Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 (determined as
of the Benefit Commencement Date of the Post-2004 Plan Benefit, regardless of
the actual commencement date of said benefits),


 


over


 


(ii)           the benefits which are
payable to such Participant under the Qualified Plan (determined as of the
Benefit Commencement Date of the Post-2004 Plan Benefit, regardless of the
actual commencement date of said benefits).


 


B.            In determining the
benefit of any Participant who prior to January 1, 1996 was a participant
in the Paramount Communications Inc. Retirement Plan, such eligible Participant
shall not be credited with any Benefit Service prior to January 1, 1996.


 


C.            For purposes of
clarity, a Participant’s Section 409A Grandfathered Benefit shall be paid
to the Participant at the same time and in the same form as the Participant’s
benefit under the Qualified Plan is paid. The Participant’s Post-2004 Plan Benefit
will be calculated as follows:


 


(i)            If
the Participant’s Post-2004 Plan Benefit is payable at the same time as the
benefits described in the first sentence of this Section 6.C, the
Participant’s total Plan Benefit shall be determined as provided in Sections
6.A and 6.B above.  The Participant’s
Post-2004 Plan Benefit shall be equal to the Participant’s total Plan Benefit,
less the Participant’s Section 409A Grandfathered Benefit (but not less
than zero).


 


(ii)           If
the Participant’s Post-2004 Plan Benefit is not paid at the same time as the
benefits described in the first sentence of this Section 6.C, the amount
payable to the Participant as his Post-2004 Plan Benefit pursuant to this Part B
of the Plan shall be equal to the Participant’s total Plan Benefit determined
as provided in Sections 6.A and 6.B above, less the Participant’s Section 409A
Grandfathered Benefit (but not less than zero), subject to the following
additional criteria.  Both the
Participant’s total Plan Benefit and Section 409A Grandfathered Benefit
shall be determined as of the Benefit Commencement Date of the Participant’s
Post-2004 Plan Benefit, regardless of the actual commencement date of the
Participant’s said benefits.


 


Section 7.  Payment of Plan Benefit.


 


A.            Time of Payment.

Participant shall commence as of the Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date,
provided that the first payment may be made up to 90 days after the later of (a) the
Participant’s 55th birthday, and (b) the Participant’s

this Section 6.A(ii) is made after the Participant’s Benefit
Commencement Date, such first payment shall include any monthly payments that
were due prior to such first payment.


 


B.            Subsequent Payment
Election.  A Participant may elect,
on a written form (a “Subsequent Payment Election”) acceptable to the

such election shall comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b).  Any Subsequent Payment Election that
satisfies the preceding requirements shall be irrevocable when made but may be
superseded by one (but not more than one) Subsequent Payment Election that

provision of the Plan to the contrary but subject to Section 7.E, if on a
Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date, the Actuarially Equivalent lump sum

post-2004 benefits under any other plans with respect to which deferrals of
compensation are treated as having been Deferred under a single nonqualified
deferred compensation plan with the Plan under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2) (the

Benefit will be paid in such lump sum on the date the Participant’s Post-2004
Plan Benefit was otherwise scheduled to commence.


 


E.             Delayed Payments
for Specified Employees. 
Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if a

adopted by the Company in compliance with Code Section 409A, on the date
the Participant incurs a Separation from Service and if any portion of the
payments or benefits to be received by the Participant upon Separation from
Service would constitute a “deferral of compensation” subject to Code Section 409A,
then to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A, amounts
that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Plan during the six-month
period immediately following the Participant’s Separation from Service will
instead be paid on the earlier of (i) the first business day of the
seventh calendar month after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service,
or (ii) the Participant’s death.  Any benefit payments delayed
because of the preceding sentence shall be paid in a lump sum on the date

Participant’s Separation from Service shall not be delayed and shall be paid in
accordance with the schedule prescribed by Subsections A and B of this Section 7.

(A)          Amount of Benefit.  The Pre-Retirement Death Benefit payable to
the Participant’s spouse or Same Sex Domestic Partner will be 50% of the
benefit that would have been payable to the Participant under the Plan had the

payable at his Normal Retirement Date, modified as follows:


 


(1)           reduced at the rate of

date he would have attained age 60 and his Normal Retirement Date, if he had
lived to such points in time;


 


(2)           reduced at the rate of
4% per year (0.333% for each full month) for each year in the period between
the date he would have attained age 55 and the date he would have attained age
60, if he had lived to such points in time; and


 


(3)           reduced on the basis of

in an Actuarially Equivalent single lump sum payment within 90 days after the
date of the Participant’s death.


 


(ii)           On or After Benefit
Commencement Date.  In the event a
Participant dies on or after his Benefit Commencement Date, Post-2004 Plan
Benefits shall continue to a joint annuitant or Beneficiary only if provided
pursuant to the Optional Form under which the Participant was receiving
benefit payments in accordance with this Section 7.


 


Section 8. Employees’ Rights.


 


An Employee’s
rights under this Plan, including his rights to vested benefits, shall be the
same as his rights under the Qualified Plan, except that he shall not be
entitled to any payments from the Pension Trust maintained under said Plan or
from any other funding vehicle on the basis of any benefits to which he may be
entitled under this Plan.  Benefits under
this Plan shall be payable from the general assets of the Company.


 


Section 9.  Amendment
and Discontinuance.

time, if, in its sole judgment, such a change is deemed necessary or
desirable.  The Committee shall have the
right to amend the Plan at any time, unless provided otherwise in the Company’s
governing documents. 
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a
termination of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion,
shall have the right to change the 


 


- 9 -













 


time and form of distribution of Participants’
Post-2004 Plan Benefits, including requiring that the Actuarial Equivalent of
Post-2004 Plan Benefits be immediately distributed in the form of a lump sum
payment; provided, however, that no such change in the time or form of payment
shall cause the Plan to fail to comply with Section 7.E above with respect
to specified employees, or to fail to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.


 


However, if the Board of Directors or the Committee
should amend the Plan, or if the Board of Directors should suspend or terminate
the Plan, the Company shall be liable for any benefits accrued under this Plan
as of the date of such action, to the extent they would not be payable under
the Qualified Plan as of the date the Participant’s Plan Benefit commences.


 


Section 10.  Code Section 409A.


 


To the
extent applicable, it is intended that Part B of this Plan comply with the
provisions of Code Section 409A. 
References to Code Section 409A shall include any proposed,
temporary or final regulation, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect
to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal
Revenue Service.  This Plan shall be
administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent.  If any provision of this Plan is susceptible
of two interpretations, one of which results in the compliance of the Plan with
Code Section 409A and the applicable Treasury Regulations, and one of
which does not, then the provision shall be given the interpretation that results
in compliance with Code Section 409A and the applicable Treasury
Regulations.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, neither the
Company nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be deemed to guarantee
any particular tax result for any Participant, spouse, Same Sex Domestic
Partner, or beneficiary with respect to any payments provided hereunder.
