 NORTHRUP GRUMMAN 

 
 ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS EXECUTIVE PENSION PLAN 
  
 (Amended and Restated Effective as of October 1, 2004) 
  
 The Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems Executive Pension Plan (the
“Plan”) is hereby amended and restated effective as of October 1, 2004. This restatement is intended solely to incorporate into the Plan document previously adopted amendments to the Plan and is not intended to make substantive changes to
the Plan. 
  
 The Plan became effective on March 1, 1996. The Plan
was amended in December 1996 to expand the definition of Average Annual Compensation to include periods of service outside of the Electronic Sensors & Systems Division for participants who transfer out of the Division. In 1998, the Plan was
amended to make changes necessary to reflect to the conversion to pay based on salary bands at the Electronic Sensors & Systems Division and to permit certain service at Affiliated Companies to count for purposes of eligibility under this Plan.
A subsequent 1998 amendment modified, effective March 1, 1996, the funding requirements and amendment procedures applicable to the Plan in the event of a change in control. Rules regarding the effect of certain transfers of employment were adopted
November 18, 1998, to be effective March 1, 1996. 
  
 In December
1999, the Plan was amended to reflect the August 24, 1998 change in the name of the ESS business from Division to Sector, to clarify that, effective August 1, 1996, lump-sum payments may be made to executives who elect lump sum payments of all
nonqualified benefits under the CIC plans, and to clarify the mechanisms for certain buy-backs and contributions by executives of designated entities. In March 2001, the Plan was amended to account for the acquisition of Litton Industries, Inc. and
the associated corporate reorganization. 
  
 The Plan was further
amended to include the Northrop Grumman Incentive Compensation Plan and the Incentive Management Achievement Plan for purposes of determining the portion of a participant’s benefit attributable to amounts received under Annual Incentive
Programs sponsored by Northrop Grumman Corporation, effective January 1, 2001. Effective July 1, 2003, the Plan was amended to expand the definition of Qualified Plan Benefit to include benefit amounts earned under a restoration plan for the
Qualified Plan. Finally, the Plan was amended effective July 1, 2003 to freeze participation in the Plan, limiting participation to employees who are currently participating and permit those participants whose employment is transferred to eligible
positions within the Northrop Grumman Corporation controlled group to continue participating in the Plan. 
  









  
 ARTICLE 1 
  
 Introduction 
  
 Section 1.01. Introduction. The Northrop Grumman Electronic

 (b) The Employee has been notified by the Committee in writing that he or she is eligible for benefits under the Plan.

 ARTICLE 3 
  
 Qualification for Benefits; Mandatory Retirement 
  
 Section 3.01. Qualification for Benefits. Subject to Article 8
and other applicable provisions of the Plan, if any, each Executive will be entitled to the benefits of this Plan on separation from service from a Participating Company, a Designated Entity, or any other Affiliated Company, provided that such
Executive meets the following four conditions: 
  
 (a) He or she
has been employed in a position that meets the definition of Executive for five or more continuous years immediately preceding the earlier of the Executive’s actual retirement date or the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date. For purposes of
this five-year requirement (but not for purposes of determining Executive Benefit Service under Section 6.05), the General Manager of ES and the Vice President of Human Resources for ES may determine that one or more years of an Employee’s
service with an Affiliated Company prior to the Employee’s transfer to ES shall be counted as having been in an Executive position. 
  
 (b) He or she has made the Maximum Contribution during each year of Vesting Service from the date he or she first became an Executive until the earliest
of his or her date of death, actual retirement date or Normal Retirement Date; 
  
 (c) He or she is a participant in the ES Pension Plan or in the defined benefit plan or Defined Contribution Plan of a Designated Entity, if any; 
  
 (d) He or she is Retirement Eligible on the date of voluntary or involuntary separation from service from a Participating
Company or a Designated Entity or, in the case of a Surviving Spouse benefit, satisfies the requirements for benefits under Article 5 of the Plan. 
  
 Section 3.02. Mandatory Retirement. Pursuant to this Plan, the Company will be entitled, at its option, to retire any Executive who has
attained age 65 and who, for the two-year period immediately before his or her retirement, has participated in this Plan, if such Executive is entitled to an immediate nonforfeitable annual retirement benefit from a pension, profit-sharing, savings
or deferred compensation plan, or any combination of such plans, of a Participating Company or any Affiliated Company, which equals, in the aggregate, at least $44,000. The calculation of the $44,000 (or greater) amount will be performed in a manner
consistent with 29 U.S.C. § 631(c)(2). 
  
 Section
3.03. Certain Transfers. Except as otherwise provided in (e) below, if an Executive transfers to a position with an Affiliated Company that is not covered by a Participating Company or Designated Entity: 
  
 (a) He or she will immediately cease to accrue Executive Benefit Service.

  
 (b) He or she will continue to earn Vesting Service (for
purposes of the Plan other than Executive Benefit Service) for periods of employment with the Affiliated Company. 
  

 - 7 - 








 (c) His or her Average Annual Compensation will include earnings as an employee from the Affiliated
Company for periods after the transfer until his or her termination of employment with all Affiliated Companies. 
  
 (d) He or she may receive benefits under the Plan if he or she subsequently retires from the Company and satisfies the Plan’s eligibility
requirements. 
  
 (e) Effective as of July 1, 2003, if an
Executive transfers to a position with an Affiliated Company that has been determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Vice President and Chief Human Resources and Administrative Officer to be an eligible position under the Plan,
(a)-(d) above will not apply and the Executive will continue to be classified as an active participant for all purposes under the Plan until the Executive’s separation from service from all Affiliated Companies.

 ARTICLE 4 
  
 Calculation of Executive Pension Supplement 
  
 Section 4.01. In General. The Executive Pension Supplement for
an Executive who meets the qualifications of Article 3 of the Plan retiring on an Early, Normal or Special Retirement Date will be calculated as described in Section 4.02(a) or (b). 
  
 Section 4.02. Amount. 
  
 (a) If the Executive 
  
 (1) has attained age 60 and completed 10 or more years of Vesting Service, 
  
 (2) has attained age 65, or 
  
 (3) has satisfied the eligibility requirements for an immediate pension under the “Special Retirement
Benefit” provisions of the ES Pension Plan, the Executive Pension Supplement is determined by subtracting the Executive’s Qualified Plan Benefit that would be payable if he or she elected a Life Annuity Option (after any reduction for
early retirement, if applicable) from his or her Executive Pension Base. 
  
 (b) If the Executive has not met the requirements of paragraph (a) above but has attained age 58 and completed 30 or more years of Vesting Service, the Executive Pension Supplement is determined by subtracting the
Executive’s Qualified Plan Benefit that would be payable if he or she elected a Life Annuity Option (before any reduction for retirement prior to age 60) from his or her Executive Pension Base. 
  

 - 9 - 








  
 ARTICLE 5 
  
 Death in Active Service 
  
 Section 5.01. Eligibility For an Immediate Benefit. If an
Executive dies in active service and, on his or her date of death, satisfies the requirements of the “Special Surviving Spouse Benefit” under the ES Pension Plan and satisfied the requirements of Section 3.01(b) and (c) of this Plan at the
time of death, a Surviving Spouse benefit will also be payable under this Plan if his or her Executive Pension Base exceeds his or her Qualified Plan Benefit. The requirement of Section 3.01(a) is waived. 
  
 Section 5.02. Calculation of Immediate Benefit. The amount of
the immediate Surviving Spouse benefit under Section 5.01 will be the Executive Pension Supplement reduced in the same manner as though the benefit were a “Special Surviving Spouse Benefit” under the ES Pension Plan. For purposes of this
Section, the Executive Pension Supplement will be calculated as follows: 
  
 (a) If the Executive had attained age 60 or if the Executive had completed 30 years of Vesting Service, the Executive Pension Supplement would be calculated as described in Section 4.02(a); 
  
 (b) Otherwise, the Executive Pension Supplement would be 80% of the
difference between the Executive Pension Base and the unreduced Qualified Plan Benefit. 
  
 Section 5.03. Eligibility For a Deferred Benefit. If an Executive dies in active service who does not satisfy the requirements of Section 5.01 but who satisfies the requirements of the “Surviving
Spouse Benefit” under the ES Pension Plan and satisfied the requirements of Section 3.01(b) and (c) of this Plan at the time of death, a Surviving Spouse benefit will also be payable under this Plan if his or her Executive Pension Base exceeds
his or her Qualified Plan Benefit. The requirement of Section 3.01(a) is waived. 
  
 Section 5.04. Calculation of Deferred Benefit. The amount of the deferred Surviving Spouse benefit under Section 5.03 will be the Executive Pension Supplement reduced in the same manner as though the
benefit were payable under the ES Pension Plan. For purposes of this paragraph, the Executive Pension Supplement will be calculated by subtracting the Executive’s Qualified Plan Benefit (before any reductions) from his or her Executive Pension
Base.

 ARTICLE 12 
  
 Change in Control 
  
 Section 12.01. Definition. The term “Change in
Control” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events: 
  
 (a) There will be consummated: 
  
 (1) Any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Company’s common stock would be converted into cash,
securities or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately
after the merger; or 
  
 (2) Any sale, lease,
exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company; or 
  
 (b) The stockholders of the Company approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or 
  
 (c) (1) Any person (as such term is defined in section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), corporation or other entity will purchase any common stock of the Company (or securities convertible into Company common stock) for cash, securities or any other
consideration pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer, unless, prior to the making of such purchase of Company common stock (or securities convertible into Company common stock), the Board will determine that the making of such purchase will
not constitute a Change in Control; or 
  
 (2)
Any person (as such term is defined in section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), corporation or other entity (other than the Company or any benefit plan sponsored by the Affiliated Companies) will become the “beneficial owner” (as such term is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act:), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing twenty percent or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities ordinarily (and apart from any
rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of directors (calculated as provided in Rule 13d-3(d) in the case of rights to acquire any such securities), unless, prior to such person so becoming such
beneficial owner, the Board will determine that such person so becoming such beneficial owner will not constitute a Change in Control; or 
  
 (d) At any time during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the entire Board will cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election or the nomination for election of each new director during such two-year period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were
directors at the beginning of such two-year period. 
  

 -20 - 








 Section 12.02. Vesting and Funding Rules. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan,
upon a Change in Control, as defined above, all Executives will be deemed fully vested under this Plan, but only such vesting as to the otherwise applicable five-year service requirement. In addition, upon a Change in Control, but only under
circumstances where the successor, surviving or parent company of Northrop Grumman Corporation or the successor plan sponsor or any successor thereto, if any, does not agree to assume the obligation to provide benefits under this Plan as they become
due and payable, then an amount sufficient to fund all unpaid benefits and any Surviving Spouse benefits payable under this Plan will be paid immediately by the Company to a Trustee pursuant to a Trust Agreement for the payment of such benefits at
the earliest date available in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and on such terms as the committee composed of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, will deem appropriate (including a
direction to the Trustee to pay immediately all benefits on a present value basis and/or such other terms as they may deem appropriate). Notwithstanding this funding, the Company will be obligated to pay benefits to Executives and to Surviving
Spouses of Executives to the extent such funding proves to be insufficient. To the extent such funding proves to be more than sufficient, any excess will revert to the Company. 
  
 Section 12.03. Special Retirement Provisions. Upon a Change in Control, for any Executive in the Plan who is
involuntarily separated and who is not then eligible for a Normal or Special Retirement Pension under the ES Pension Plan, such separation will be deemed to be a separation due to a “Permanent Job Separation”, and the Special Retirement
Pension provisions under the ES Pension Plan will be used for purposes of determining eligibility and payment of benefits to such Executive under the Plan. 
  
 Section 12.04. Calculation of Present Value. The present value of benefits payable by the Trustee will be calculated for specific groups of
Executives at the time of the Change in Control as follows: 
  
 (a) The present value of the benefits payable from this Plan to Executives who have retired at the time of the Change in Control (as well as benefits payable from this Plan to any Surviving Spouse of an Executive) will be calculated by
using the PBGC immediate discount rate established and in effect for the beginning of the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs. 
  
 (b) The present value of the benefits payable from this Plan to Executives who are eligible to retire under the terms of this Plan at the time of the
Change in Control will be calculated by using the PBGC immediate discount rates established and in effect at the beginning of the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs, assuming a pension which is immediately payable at the time of the
Change in Control. 
  
 (c) The present value of the benefits
payable from this Plan to Executives who have completed at least 30 years of service with a Participating Company or a Designated Entity but have not yet attained age 58 at the time of the Change in Control will be calculated by using the PBGC
deferred discount rates established and in effect for the beginning of the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs, assuming a pension which is payable at age 58. 
  

 - 21 - 








 (d) The present value of benefits payable from this Plan to Executives who have completed at least 10
years of service with a Participating Company or a Designated Entity but less than 30 years of service at the time of the Change in Control, but have not yet attained age 60 at the time of the Change in Control, will be calculated by using the PBGC
deferred discount rates established and in effect for the beginning of the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs, assuming a pension which is payable at age 60. 
  
 (e) The present value of benefits payable from this Plan to Executives who have completed less than 10 years of service with
a Participating Company or a Designated Entity at the time of the Change in Control will be calculated by using the PBGC deferred discount rates established and in effect for the beginning of the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs,
assuming a pension which is payable at age 65. 
  
 Section
12.05. Calculation of Offset. In calculating the benefit payable to each Executive, any offset for the ES Pension Plan or other plan in which the Executive participates, will be based upon the last official pension file data available,
adjusted to the date of any Change in Control by assuming that the most recent salary reflected in the pension file remains constant. 
  
 Section 12.06. Limitation on Amendment, Suspension and Termination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan, this Plan may not be:

  
 (a) Amended such that future benefits would be reduced;

  
 (b) Suspended; or 
  
 (c) Terminated; 
  
 as to the further accrual of benefits, for a period of 24 months following a Change in Control; and as to the payment of benefits, at any
time prior to the last payment, determined in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, to each Executive, former Executive receiving benefits under the Plan, or eligible spouse.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment and Restatement is hereby executed by a duly authorized officer on this 22 day of February, 2005.

 APPENDIX A 
  
 Executive Buyback 
  
 Section A.01. Introduction. The Executive Buy Back process
permits newly eligible Executives to “buy back” past years of Executive Benefit Service under the Plan for periods of time during which they did not make the Maximum Contribution. 
  
 Section A.02. Buy Back Offer. If an Employee did not make the
Maximum Contribution during each of the years of his or her Vesting Service prior to the time he or she first became an Executive, the Employee will be permitted to pay make-up payments of Maximum Contributions in order to “buy back” his
or her non-contributory years of service. 
  
 (a) The make-up
payments required are the Maximum Contributions that would have been payable during the 10 years prior to the date he or she first became an Executive (or such lesser period from the date the Employee was employed by a Participating Company or a
Designated Entity) plus compounded interest on those amounts. 
  
 (b) This Plan is intended as essentially a continuation of the Westinghouse Plan (see Appendix C). Accordingly, this Section is to be interpreted as requiring an Executive to make up Maximum Contributions not only for his or her periods of
participation under this Plan but also Maximum Contributions that would have been due under the Westinghouse Plan. The terms of (a) will be interpreted to include the corresponding terms under the Westinghouse Plan and the 10-year period will
include periods before the Westinghouse Acquisition. 
  
 Section A.03. One-Time Opportunity. Upon qualifying as an Executive, an Executive will be offered an Executive Buy Back opportunity at the time he or she first becomes an Executive (or when this Appendix first becomes
effective, if later). The actual terms of the Executive Buy Back will be determined from time to time by the Committee. This election will be offered one time to the Executive and his or her decision whether or not to “buy back” will be
irrevocable. 
  
 Section A.04. Payment. Executive
Buy Back payments are pre-tax and are made from compensation by deferral elections entered into prior to the year in which the compensation is determined and paid. Executive Buy Back payments will not be deposited into the ES Pension Plan trust and
will not increase the Executive’s Qualified Plan Benefit. 
  
 Section A.05. Refund of Buy Back Payment. If, at some point, an Employee is no longer an Executive or otherwise becomes ineligible to receive an Executive Pension Supplement, any Executive Buy Back payments the Employee has
made (including any interest the Employee paid) plus any other amount as defined in Section 2.16(b)(2) in the definition of Maximum Contribution paid by the Employee to the Company will be refunded, with interest at such time as the Employee meets
one of the following criteria: 
  
 (a) Termination or retirement
from a Participating Company or a Designated Entity; or 
  

 - 23 - 








 (b) Death; 
  
 provided, however, no refund will be made if the Employee is an eligible Executive, whether or not the amount of his or her Executive Pension Supplement exceeds zero. All
interest rates will be determined at the discretion of the Committee. 
  
 Section A.06. Effective Date. The provisions of this Appendix permitting Buy Backs will become effective on a date specified by resolution of the Committee specifically citing this Section. 
  

 - 24 - 








  
 APPENDIX B 
  
 Rehired Executives 
  
 Section B.01. Retired Executives Rehired as Executives. If an
Executive who retired from a Participating Company or a Designated Entity and who received or is receiving an Executive Pension Supplement as a lump sum or on a monthly basis is rehired in an Executive position by a Participating Company, Designated
Entity, or any other Affiliated Company, the following provisions apply: 
  
 (a) Monthly Payments: For an Executive with a monthly Executive Pension Supplement: 
  
 (1) The Plan will suspend all Executive Pension Supplement payments; 
  
 (2) If, but only if, the Executive is Retirement Eligible at the time of subsequent actual retirement:

  
 (A) Previous years of Vesting Service and
Executive Benefit Service accrued prior to the Executive’s retirement will be restored; and 
  
 (B) The Executive’s Executive Pension Supplement will be recalculated in accordance with the Plan at his or her subsequent actual
retirement date as long as the Executive then meets all Plan benefit qualification requirements; 
  
 (3) The Executive, having previously met the requirement of five years of continuous service as an Executive prior to his or her first
retirement, need not again meet that requirement; 
  
 (4) The Executive’s Average Annual Compensation will be computed without regard to the break in service, using zero for any periods during which the Executive was a retiree; 
  
 (5) If the Executive elected to take a lump sum Qualified
Plan Benefit with respect to his or her initial retirement, then in any subsequent calculation of the Executive’s Executive Pension Supplement, the Executive’s Executive Pension Base will be reduced by both the Executive’s Qualified
Plan Benefit received at the time of the initial retirement and the Executive’s Qualified Plan Benefit accrued from the date of rehire through the date of his or her subsequent retirement. 
  
 (b) Lump Sums: For an Executive who received a lump sum Executive
Pension Supplement and who is Retirement Eligible at the time of subsequent actual retirement: 
  
 (1) Previous years of Vesting Service will be restored but not previous years of Executive Benefit Service; 
  

 - 25 - 








 (2) The Plan will calculate the Executive’s additional Executive Pension Supplement
at his or her subsequent actual retirement date on the basis of years of service after the rehire in accordance with the Plan as the Executive then meets all Plan benefit qualification requirements; 
  
 (3) The Executive, having previously met the requirement of
five years of continuous service as an Executive prior to his or her first retirement, need not again meet that requirement; 
  
 (4) The Executive’s Average Annual Compensation will be computed without regard to the break in service, using zero for any periods
during which the Executive was a retiree; 
  
 (5)
If the Executive elected a monthly Qualified Plan Benefit with respect to his or her initial retirement, then the Executive’s Qualified Plan Benefit accrued from the date of rehire through the subsequent date of actual retirement will be
subtracted from the Executive’s Executive Pension Base in calculating the Executive’s additional Executive Pension Supplement at his or her subsequent retirement. 
  
 Section B.02. Former Executives with Vested Pensions Rehired as Executives. If the employment of an Executive
of a Participating Company or a Designated Entity who was eligible only for a vested pension under the relevant qualified defined benefit or Defined Contribution Plan, if any, was terminated and the Executive is rehired by a Participating Company,
Designated Entity, or any other Affiliated Company, the following provisions apply: 
  
 (a) Previous years of Vesting Service and Executive Benefit Service accrued prior to the Executive’s termination of employment will be restored; 
  
 (b) The Executive must meet the requirement of five years of continuous service as an Executive prior to a subsequent actual
retirement, counting only years of service after the rehire; 
  
 (c) Only base salary and incentive awards earned after the rehire will be used in computing Average Annual Compensation; 
  
 (d) If the Executive elected to take his or her vested pension as a lump sum, in any calculation of an Executive Pension Supplement at actual retirement,
the Executive’s Executive Pension Base will be reduced by both the Executive’s Qualified Plan Benefit at the time of the initial termination of employment and the Executive’s Qualified Plan Benefit accrued from the date of rehire
through the date of actual retirement. 
  
 Section B.03.
Retired Executives Rehired in Non-Executive Positions. If an Executive who retired from a Participating Company or a Designated Entity and who received or is receiving an Executive Pension Supplement as a lump sum or on a monthly basis is
rehired by a Participating Company, Designated Entity, or any other Affiliated Company in a non-Executive position, the following provisions apply: 
  
 (a) For a former Executive who was receiving a monthly Executive Pension Supplement: 
  
 (1) The Plan will suspend all Executive Pension Supplement payments; 
  

 - 26 - 








 (2) If, but only if, the former Executive is still Retirement Eligible at the time of
subsequent actual retirement, the Plan will recommence Executive Pension Supplement payments at the time of the Executive’s subsequent actual retirement without recalculation of amount; 
  
 (3) At subsequent actual retirement, the former Executive
may receive any form of payment of his or her Executive Pension Supplement then permitted under the Plan, as selected by the Committee. 
  
 (b) For a former Executive who received his or her Executive Pension Supplement as a lump sum, no further benefits will be paid by the Plan. 

 
 Section B.04. Events That Span Westinghouse Acquisition.
This Plan is intended as essentially a continuation of the Westinghouse Plan (see Appendix C) and this Appendix is to be interpreted accordingly. 
  
 (a) Reductions for payments of Qualified Plan Benefits will be interpreted to include reductions for payments of similar benefits under Westinghouse
plans. 
  
 (b) Determination of the form of Qualified Plan
Benefits will take into account the form of payments under Westinghouse plans. 
  
 (c) The terms of this Appendix will be interpreted, where appropriate, to include the corresponding terms under the Westinghouse Plan and to take into account events both before and after the Westinghouse Acquisition.

  
 Section B.05. Breaks Spanning March 1, 1996.
There may be Executives who participated in the Westinghouse Plan but because of a break in their service did not become employees of the Affiliated Companies on March 1, 1996 as a result of the Westinghouse Acquisition. 
  
 (a) Those Executives might be hired later by the Electronic Sensors &
Systems Division. 
  
 (b) They will in no case be entitled to
service or compensation credits or benefits under this Plan with respect to any service or compensation prior to their first hire by the Electronic Sensors & Systems Division after March 1, 1996. The Executives will not be considered to have
previously met the requirement of five years of continuous service as an Executive.

 APPENDIX C 
  
 Coordination With Westinghouse Plan 
  
 Section C.01. In General. As part of the Westinghouse
Acquisition, this Plan was established by Northrop Grumman Corporation. 
  
 (a) This Plan is intended to be a continuation of the Westinghouse Plan with only minor changes. 
  
 (b) This Plan assumes remaining liabilities of the Westinghouse Plan with regard to those participants of the Westinghouse Plan who became Employees of
the Northrop Grumman controlled group on March 1, 1996 as a result of the Westinghouse Acquisition. Accordingly, benefits earned by Participants of this Plan under the Westinghouse Plan before March 1, 1996 are payable under this Appendix.

  
 (c) Employees first hired after the Westinghouse Acquisition
will therefore not be affected by this Appendix and will have their pension benefits governed entirely by the other Articles and Appendices of this Plan. 
  
 Section C.02. Pre-Acquisition Benefits. 
  
 (a) Except as provided in Sections C.03 and C.04, benefits earned under the Westinghouse Executive Pension Plan are in addition to the benefits which may
be earned under Articles 4 and 5. 
  
 (b) The Westinghouse Plan
benefits will be calculated taking into account all pertinent facts for determining benefits under the Westinghouse Plan’s provisions (including benefits and contributions under Westinghouse plans) as they have existed from time to time.

  
 Section C.03. Coordination of Pre and
Post-Acquisition Benefits. The Plan will be interpreted in light of events before and after the Westinghouse Acquisition to coordinate the calculation of benefits (including service and compensation components, benefits and contributions under
Westinghouse plans and rehire provisions) under this Appendix and benefits based on Articles 4 and 5 so that the Plan will function as if it were essentially a continuation of the Westinghouse Plan. 
  
 Section C.04. No Duplication of Benefits. Because this Plan is
intended as a continuation of the Westinghouse Plan, this Plan will not pay any benefits already paid or payable by the Westinghouse Plan itself.
