 1990 RESTATEMENT OF STANDARD
INSURANCE COMPANY’S 
  
 SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN

 FOR SENIOR OFFICER MANAGEMENT GROUP 
  
 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE 
  
 This Supplemental Retirement Plan for the Senior Officer Management Group covers members of the Senior Officer Management Group who participate in the
Standard Insurance Company Deferred Compensation Plan for Senior Officer Management Group and who retire under the Standard Retirement Plan for Home Office Personnel. 
  
 This Plan is separate from and in addition to both the Standard Insurance Company Deferred Compensation Plan for Senior
Officer Management Group and the Standard Retirement Plan for Home Office Personnel. It is intended that this Plan be unfunded and maintained by Standard primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management
or highly compensated employees. 
  
 The purpose of this Plan is
to restore retirement benefit payments to those participants who will retire under the Standard Retirement Plan for Home Office Personnel and whose retirement benefits from the Standard Retirement Plan for Home Office Personnel are reduced either as
a result of the deferral of a portion of the participant’s annual compensation under his Deferred Compensation Agreement or as a result of provisions of the Internal Revenue Code which impose certain limits on qualified plan accumulations,
compensation taken into account or benefits provided for highly compensated employees. 
  
 This Plan is being revised at this time to conform its provisions to the provisions of the Standard Retirement Plan for Home Office Personnel 1988 Restatement. This 1990 Restatement of this Plan shall determine the
Supplemental Retirement Benefit of any Participant whose retirement, benefit is determined under the Standard Retirement Plan for Home Office Personnel 1988 Restatement.
