THE BLACK & DECKERSUPPLEMENTAL PENSION PLAN

SECTION 1  Purpose

The
Black & Decker Supplemental Pension Plan (the Prior Plan) was established
by Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., effective as of October 1, 1989, to provide certain
employees of the Black & Decker Companies with benefits which would otherwise be
provided under a Defined Benefit Plan but for reductions or restrictions to such benefits
required by Federal law. Specifically, this Plan will provide Participants with
supplemental benefits to compensate for the loss of benefits that otherwise would have
been payable under a Defined Benefit Plan were it not for the maximum limitation on
benefits under section 415 of the Code and reductions in pensionable earnings due to
section 401(a)(17) of the Code and the deferral of compensation under the Executive
Deferred Compensation Plan. This Plan is to be unfunded and is maintained for the purpose
of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated
employees. This plan, The Black & Decker Supplemental Pension Plan (the
Plan), amends and fully restates the Prior Plan, effective as of January 1,
2005.

SECTION 2  Definitions

As
used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

Accrued
Pension means the benefit the Participant has accrued under a Defined Benefit Plan,
expressed as a single-life annuity payable for the Participants life beginning at
the Participants normal retirement date or, if later, his or her actual retirement
date, under the Defined Benefit Plan.

Actuarial
Equivalent means a benefit of equivalent value on a specific date, computed on the
basis of the actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit equivalencies under the
applicable Defined Benefit Plan and using such other reasonable actuarial assumptions and
methods that may be adopted by the Pension Committee from time to time, in its sole
discretion, for this purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Participant
has elected to receive the accelerated method of payment (5-year installments or lump sum
payment) of the present value of his or her Supplemental Pension under this Plan, the
amount of the lump sum payment or installment payments (including the Supplemental
Spouses Death Benefit) shall be calculated using an interest rate equal to four and
one-half percent (4.5%) and the 1994 Group Annuity Reserving Table (determined on a unisex
basis and projected to 2002, all as described in IRS Revenue Ruling 2001-62) and
assuming that the Participant will earn no wages subject to the Social Security Act nor
further accrue any other retirement benefits after his or her Benefit Commencement Date
and that his or her Social Security retirement benefits and all other retirement benefits
will begin at the earliest date they are available after the Participants Benefit
Commencement Date and using such other reasonable actuarial assumptions and methods that
may be adopted by the Pension Committee from time to time, in its sole discretion, for
this purpose.

be paid or commence to be paid and which shall be the first day of the calendar month
immediately following the later of the Participants 55th birthday or the
date of his or her Separation from Service with the Company and all other Black &
Decker Companies. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the case of a Participant
whose Benefit Commencement Date would otherwise have occurred at any time in the 2005
calendar year and who elects during the 2005 calendar year to receive the accelerated
method of payment (5-year installments or lump sum payment) of his or her benefits, the
Benefit Commencement Date for that lump sum payment or those installment payments shall be
deemed to be the first day of the calendar month after the date that election to
accelerate is filed with the Plan.

means the beneficiary designated in accordance with Section 7 to receive the death benefit
provided under Section 6(a) in the event of a Participants death.

Black
& Decker Company means The Black & Decker Corporation or any of its

Defined
Benefit Plan means a defined benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(35) of
ERISA that is sponsored by a Black & Decker Company and is intended to qualify under
Section 401(a) of the Code.

means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Executive
Deferred Compensation Plan means The Black & Decker Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan or The Black & Decker Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan.

Limitations
means the maximum limitation on benefits under Section 415 of the Code and reductions in
pensionable earnings due to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code and the deferral of
compensation under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.

Participant
means any employee of a Black & Decker Company eligible to participate in this Plan in
accordance with Section 3.

Payment
Date means the Participants Benefit Commencement Date or, in the case of a
Participant who qualifies as a key employee (as defined in Code Section 416(i)
without regard to paragraph (5) thereof), the first day of the calendar month immediately
following the later of the Participants Benefit Commencement Date or the date that
is six months and one day after his or her Separation from Service with the Company and

Participant will be a key employee
at all times during any calendar year, only if the Participant qualified as a key
employee at any time during the 12-month period ending on August 31st
immediately preceding that calendar year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the
Committee reasonably determines that the making of any payment to a Participant under this
Plan will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law, the Committee may delay
a Participants Payment Date until the earliest date at which the Committee
determines that the making of that payment will not violate those laws.

Pension
Committee means The Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc. Pension Committee.

as of October 1, 1989 and as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2005.

SECTION 3  Eligibility

Except
as otherwise provided under this Section 3 or by Section 10 of this Agreement, any
employee of a Black & Decker Company whose benefit under any Defined Benefit Plan is
reduced because of the Limitations shall be a Participant in this Plan eligible to receive
a Supplemental Pension. If a Participants benefit under more than one Defined
Benefit Plan is reduced because of the Limitations, the Participant shall be eligible to
receive a separate Supplemental Pension relating to each such Defined Benefit Plan, and
the provisions of this Plan shall be applied separately with respect to each such
Supplemental Pension.

SECTION 4  Calculation of Supplemental Pension

A
Participants Supplemental Pension relating to any Defined Benefit Plan shall be the
Actuarial Equivalent at the applicable Payment Date of the excess of:

(a)       
          The Participants Accrued Pension under the Defined Benefit Plan,
          calculated without regard to the Limitations; over

(b)       
          The Participants Accrued Pension under the Defined Benefit Plan.

4

---



Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Supplemental Pension payable hereunder shall be reduced by the
Actuarial Equivalent of the amount of any benefit payable by a Black & Decker Company,
or by a plan sponsored by a Black & Decker Company, which is similarly intended to
offset the impact of any of the Limitations.

SECTION 5 Payment
of Supplemental Pension

(a)       
          Except as provided in Section 5(d), the Actuarial Equivalent of a
          Participants Supplemental Pension as of the applicable Payment Date shall
          be paid in the form of a monthly 10-year guaranteed single life annuity for the
          Participants life, commencing on the Participants Payment Date, and
          providing that, in the event the Participant should die before receiving at
          least 120 of those monthly payments, the balance of those 120 monthly payments
          will continue to be paid monthly to the Participants Beneficiary until the
          Participant and his or her Beneficiary together shall have received a total of
          120 monthly payments. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the case of any
          Participant whose Benefit Commencement Date occurs prior to February 9, 2006,
          the form of payment for the Participants benefits under this Plan shall be
          the same form as the Participants benefits are paid under the Defined
          Benefit Plan to which the Supplemental Pension relates.

(b)       
          Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent required
          under Code Section 409A, in no event shall a Participants Supplemental
          Pension be paid or commence to be paid to him or her before the
          Participants Payment Date and must be paid or commence to be paid to the
          Participant on his or her Payment Date.

(c)       
          Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, a Supplemental Pension shall be
          payable only so long as and to the extent that the Limitations are applicable to
          the benefits payable to the Participant under the related Defined Benefit Plan
          and only to the extent that the Limitations reduce the amount of the benefits
          otherwise payable under the Defined Benefit Plan.

(d)       
          Any Participant who, at any time during 2005, was subject to an agreement to
          provide consulting services to any Black & Decker Company or who is employed
          by any of the Black & Decker Companies after September 1, 2005 and whose
          base annual salary rate at that date was $200,000 or more may make an
          irrevocable election to receive as of the Participants Payment Date, in
          lieu of the Supplemental Pension provided under this Plan, the accelerated
          payment of his or her benefits under this Plan described in Paragraphs (1) and
          (2) in this Section 5(d). That election shall be made in writing and signed by
          the Participant and must be received by the Plan Manager of The Black &
          Decker Pension Plan on or before December 31, 2006. Under all circumstances,
          once received by the Plan Manager, any election under this Section 5(d) of the
          accelerated method of payment shall be irrevocable and shall apply to any
          benefits that become payable to the Participant and his or her spouse under this
          Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a Participant makes this
          election during the 2006 calendar year, the election shall not apply to any
          benefit payments the Participant would otherwise have received during the 2006
          calendar year and those payments shall be made at the time(s) they would
          otherwise have been paid during 2006.

| | (1)       
               If the Participants Payment Date occurs before his or her 65th birthday,
               the present value of the Participants Supplemental Pension under the Plan
               (including any benefits payable to the spouse or other Beneficiary) shall be
               paid to him or her in five (5) equal annual installments that are the Actuarial
               Equivalent of the Participants Supplemental Pension under this Plan
               (including any benefits payable to the spouse or other Beneficiary), which
               installments shall be payable on the Participants Payment Date and the
               succeeding four anniversaries of the Participants Payment Date, with those
               installment payments being calculated taking into account interest from the
               Benefit Commencement Date to the date of the last installment payment at the
               rate of four and one-half percent (4.5%).

| | (2)       
               If the Participants Payment Date occurs on or after the Participants
               65th birthday, the present value of the Participants Supplemental Pension
               under the Plan (including any benefits payable to the spouse or other
               Beneficiary) shall be paid to him or her in a lump sum payment that is the
               Actuarial Equivalent of the Participants Supplemental Pension under this
               Plan (including any benefits payable to the spouse or other Beneficiary).
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (3)       
               In the event a Participant validly elects the accelerated method of payment
               under this Section 5(d) and dies before his or her Separation from Service, the
               Participants spouse, if any, shall receive the Actuarial Equivalent
               present value of the Supplemental Spouses Death Benefit under Section
               6(b), payable in five (5) annual installment payments, if the Participant died
               before reaching age 65, or in a lump sum payment, if the Participant died on or
               after his or her 65th birthday, with the payment(s) beginning or to be made on
               the first day of the third full calendar month following the Participants
               date of death. If the Participant dies before his or her Separation from Service
               and has no surviving spouse, then no benefit shall be payable to anyone under
               this Plan with respect to the Participant. If the Participant dies after his or
               her Separation from Service but before receiving the lump sum payment or all of
               the 5-year installment payments as elected under this Section 5(d), then that
               lump sum payment or the remaining installment payments shall be paid to the
               Participants Beneficiary at the time those payments would have been paid
               to the Participant. The Participants spouse who is entitled to receive the
               payment(s) under this Section 5(d)(3) shall be the person, if any, of the
               opposite sex to whom the participant is legally married at the
               Participants death.

SECTION 6 Death
Benefits

(a)       
          Except as provided in Section 5(d)(3), if a Participant dies on or after the
          Participants Benefit Commencement Date, the only death benefit payable to
          his or her Beneficiary from this Plan shall be the death benefit, if any,
          payable to the Beneficiary under Section 5(a), commencing on the date one month
          after the date of the last monthly payment paid to the Participant before his or
          her death or, in the case of a Participant whose Benefit Commencement Date
          occurred before February 9, 2006, the survivor annuity or other death benefit
          payable to the Beneficiary under Section 5(a) under the payment form used for
          the Participants Supplemental Pension. No death benefit shall be payable
          to the Participants

6

---



Beneficiary under this Section 6(a) if the Participant
          elected the 5-year installments or lump sum accelerated method of payment under
          Section 5(d). If a Participants Beneficiary predeceases the Participant,
          the death benefit provided under this Section 6(a) shall be paid to the
          contingent Beneficiary designated by the Participant, or if none is designated,
          to the Participants estate.

(b)       
          If a Participant dies before the Participants Benefit Commencement Date,
          the only death benefit that shall be provided from this Plan is the Supplemental
          Spouses Death Benefit. Except as provided in Section 5(d), the
          Supplemental Spouses Death Benefit shall be paid to the Participants
          surviving spouse as a monthly single life annuity for the Spouses life
          with monthly benefits commencing on the first day of the third full calendar
          month following the date of the Participants death. The amount of the
          Supplemental Spouses Death Benefit shall be determined in the same manner
          as the spouses death benefit under the related Defined Benefit Plan is
          determined, except on the basis of the Participants Supplemental Pension
          under this Plan, rather than the Participants Accrued Pension under the
          Defined Benefit Plan. The Participants spouse who is entitled to receive
          the payment(s) under this Section 6(b) shall be the person, if any, of the
          opposite sex to whom the participant is legally married at the
          Participants death.

SECTION 7  Beneficiary Designation

A Participant may designate a
Beneficiary and contingent Beneficiary to receive the death benefit provided under Section
6(a). A Participants Beneficiary designation must be in writing, on a form signed by
the Participant and acceptable to the Pension Committee, and shall be effective upon
receipt by the Pension Committee before the Participants death. A Participant may
change his or her Beneficiary designation at any time and the last designation received by
the Pension Committee shall control. If the Participant fails to validly designate a
Beneficiary under this Plan or if his designated Beneficiary fails to survive him or her,
any death benefit provided under Section 6(a) shall be paid to the contingent Beneficiary
designated by the Participant, or if none is designated, to the Participants estate.

SECTION 8  Tax
Withholdings

The
Company shall have the right to deduct from each payment to be made hereunder any
withholding or other taxes required by law.

SECTION 9 Payments
in the Event of Incapacity

In
the event that the Pension Committee shall find that the Participant or other person
entitled to a benefit is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or
accident or is a minor or has died, the Company may pay any benefit payment due him or her
to his or her spouse, a child, a parent or other blood relative, or to a person with whom
he or she resides, unless claim shall have been made thereof or by a duly appointed legal
representative, and any such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of the
liabilities of the Company therefor.

SECTION 10  Forfeitures

Anything
to the contrary notwithstanding, all of the rights and benefits under this Plan of a
Participant, his or her surviving spouse and his or her Beneficiary, shall be forfeited
under the following circumstances:

(a)       
          if the Participants employment with the Black & Decker Companies is
          terminated by reason of his or her commission of any criminal act; or

(b)       
          if, without the prior written consent of the applicable Black & Decker
          Company, the Participant enters into competition with any of the Black &
          Decker Companies or discloses or uses confidential information of any of the
          Black & Decker Companies, whether before or after his or her retirement or
          other termination of employment with the Black & Decker Companies. If a
          Participant receives payment of his or her benefits under this Plan in a lump
          sum or installments and at any time after his or her Benefit Commencement Date,
          without the Companys written consent, enters into competition with any of
          the Black & Decker Companies or discloses or uses confidential information,
          the Participant shall forfeit his or her right to those installment payments or
          that lump sum payment and shall immediately repay to the Company the full amount
          of that lump sum payment or the installment payments that he or she received.

For
the purposes of this Plan, a Participant shall be deemed to have entered into competition
with one of the Black & Decker Companies if he or she directly or indirectly (whether
as a consultant, agent, officer, director, stockholder, employee, owner, operator, sole
proprietor, partner, joint venturer or otherwise) participates in or is connected with the
ownership, operation, management or control of any business enterprise which is in
competition, whether direct or indirect, with any of the types of businesses conducted by
any of the Black & Decker Companies for which the Participant rendered any services
within the preceding 36 months and within any of the same territories as such Black &
Decker Companies conduct that type of business, as determined by the Pension Committee in
its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that the Participants ownership
of five percent (5%) or less of the stock of a publicly-held company shall not be
prohibited hereby. For the purposes of this Plan, the term. confidential
information means any information which any of the Black & Decker Companies
considers secret or confidential, including but not limited to information about the
business, customers, employees, or marketing of the Black & Decker Companies, or
technical data, drawings or other know-how, as determined by the Pension Committee in its
sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that the disclosure or use by the
Participant of secret or confidential information shall not be prohibited hereby once such
secret or confidential information comes into the public domain through no action of the
Participant. If any restriction imposed by this Section is more restrictive than permitted
by law, the scope of the restriction is to be limited to the extent permitted by law, but
is not to be deemed unenforceable or void.

SECTION 11  Companys Obligations Unfunded and Unsecured

Except
as otherwise required by applicable law, the Companys obligations under this Plan
are not required to be funded or secured in any manner; no assets need be placed in trust or

8

---



in escrow or otherwise physically or legally segregated for the benefit of any
Participant; and the eventual payment of the benefits described in this Plan to a
Participant or the Participants spouse or Beneficiary is not required to be secured
to the Participant or them by the issuance of any negotiable instrument or other evidence
of the Companys indebtedness. Neither a Participant nor the Participants
spouse or Beneficiary is entitled to any property interest, legal or equitable, in any
specific asset of the Company, and, to the extent that any person acquires any right to
receive payments under the provisions of this Plan, that right is intended to be no
greater than or to have any preference or priority over, the rights of any other unsecured
general creditor of the Company. However, the Company reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to accumulate assets to offset its eventual liabilities under this Plan and
physically or legally to segregate assets for the benefit of any Participant or
Participants spouse or Beneficiary (whether by escrow, by trust, by the purchase of
an annuity contract or by any other method of funding selected by the Company) without
liability for any adverse tax consequences resulting to that Participant or that
Participants spouse or Beneficiary from the Companys action. Any such
segregation of assets may be made with respect to the Companys obligations under
this Plan for benefits attributable to an individual Participant, a selected group of
Participants or all Participants, as the Company may determine from time to time, in its
absolute discretion. Benefits under this Plan shall be payable by the Company from the
Companys general assets and no other company shall have any responsibility or
liability under this Plan. The Companys liabilities under this Plan shall, however,
be discharged to the extent of any payment received by the Participant (or the
Participants surviving spouse or Beneficiary) from any other company made for that
purpose and on the Companys behalf or for its benefit.

SECTION 12 Alienation or Encumbrance

No
payments, benefits or rights under this Plan shall be subject in any manner to
anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, charge or
alienation by a Participant, the Participants spouse or Beneficiary or any other
person who could or might possibly receive benefit payments that were due to the
Participant or the Participants spouse or Beneficiary, but were not paid. If the
Company determines that any person entitled to payments under this Plan has become
insolvent, bankrupt, or has attempted to anticipate, sell, transfer, assign, mortgage,
pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise in any manner alienate any amount payable to that
person under this Plan or that there is any danger of any levy, attachment, or other court
process or encumbrance on the part of any creditor of that person, against any benefit or
other amounts payable to that person, the Company may, in its sole discretion and to the
extent permitted by law, at any time, withhold any or all such payments or benefits and
apply the same for the benefit of that person, in such manner and in such proportion as
the Company may deem proper.

SECTION 13 Administration of Plan

(a)       
          The Plan shall be interpreted, administered, and operated by the Pension
          Committee, which shall have complete authority, in its sole and absolute
          discretion, to determine who is eligible for supplemental benefits hereunder, to
          interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
          relating to it, and to make all other determinations necessary or

9

---



advisable for
          the administration of this Plan. The Pension Committees interpretations of
          the Plan and actions in respect of the Plan shall be binding and conclusive on
          all persons for all purposes. It is intended that this Plan comply with Code
          Section 409A and any regulations or guidance issued thereunder and shall be
          interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding the amendment provisions of Section 17,
          the Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors of the Company at any time,
          retroactively, if found necessary, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, to
          conform the Plan to the provisions and requirements of Code Section 409A. No
          such amendment shall be considered prejudicial to any interest of a Participant
          or Beneficiary hereunder. Any provision of the Plan not in conformance with Code
          Section 409A shall be void as of January 1, 2005.

(b)       
          Neither the Pension Committee nor any person acting on its behalf shall be
          liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the
          interpretation and administration of the Plan unless attributable to gross
          negligence or willful misconduct. In addition to such other rights of
          indemnification as they may have as directors, officers or employees of the
          Company, each member of the Pension Committee shall be indemnified by the
          Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees,
          actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action,
          suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which he or she
          may be a party by reason of any action taken or omitted under or in connection
          with the Plan, and against all amounts paid in settlement thereof, provided such
          settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company, or

SECTION 16  Claims
Procedure

Any claim
by a Participant, a Participants spouse or Beneficiary that benefits under the Plan
have not been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan shall be made
in writing and delivered to the Pension Committee at the Companys principal office
in the State of Maryland. The Pension Committee shall notify the claimant if any
additional information is needed to process the claim. All claims shall be approved or
denied by the Pension Committee within 90 days of receipt of the claim by the Pension
Committee. If the claim is denied, the Pension Committee shall furnish the claimant with a
written notice containing:

(a)       
          an explanation of the reason for the denial,

(b)       
          a specific reference to the applicable provisions of the Plan,

(c)       
          a description of any additional material or information necessary for the
          claimant to pursue the claim, and

(d)       
          a statement of the claimants right to bring a civil action under Section
          502(a) of ERISA.

Within
90 days of receipt of the notice described above, the claimant shall, if he or she desires
further review, file a written request for reconsideration with the Pension Committee. A
request for reconsideration must include an explanation of the grounds for the request and
the facts supporting the claim. So long as the claimants request for review is
pending, including such 90-day period, the claimant or his or her duly authorized
representative may review pertinent documents and may submit issues and comments in
writing to the Pension Committee.

A
final and binding decision shall be made by the Pension Committee within 60 days of the
filing of the request for reconsideration; provided, however, that the Pension Committee,
in its discretion, may extend this period up to an additional 60 days.

The
decision by the Pension Committee shall be conveyed to the claimant in writing and shall
include specific reasons for the decision, with specific references to the applicable
provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based and a statement of the
claimants right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
