the payment of the benefits payable under the applicable Retirement Plan in which he or she was participating at the date of termination and/or in which he or she had a vested right on such dateand shall be payable in the same form as such Retirement Plan benefits are being paid thereunder. 

(ii) Notwithstanding theabove, with respect to a Participant covered by the Cash Balance Pension provisions of The Retirement Plan for Washington Post Companies, the Kaplan Qualified Benefit or the Retirement Plan benefit, as applicable (and the Unrestricted Benefit if theParticipant is not a Kaplan Key Employee), shall be a single life annuity that is actuarially equivalent to the lump sum benefit payable in the Retirement Plan, with such actuarial equivalent determined using the interest rate specified in §417(e) of the Internal Revenue Code (as determined in the Retirement Plan) plus 2%. In the event the Supplemental Retirement Benefit commences prior to Normal Retirement Date or is payable in a form other than an annuity for the life of the formeremployee only, the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be actuarially adjusted in the same manner as are benefits payable under the Retirement Plan in which he or she was participating at the time of termination and/or in which he or she had avested right on such date. The Committee may, however, in its sole discretion direct that the Supplemental Retirement Benefit payable with respect to a former employee be paid as an actuarially equivalent single sum payment; provided,that no such payment may be made prior to termination of Service or prior to the date that benefits may become payable under any of the Retirement Plans, or after January 1, 2005 and provided, further, that indetermining actuarial equivalency of a single sum payment in cash, there shall be used the same actuarial assumptions as are applicable for the calculation of a single sum payment under the applicable Retirement Plan. Further notwithstanding theabove and except in the case of a Kaplan Key Employee Participant, if a portion of the Participant’s benefit is determined in accordance with the Cash Balance Pension provisions of The Retirement Plan for Washington Post Companies, the benefitsunder the Supplemental Retirement Plan (to the extent determined under such Cash Balance provisions) will also be payable in a lump sum amount which shall be equal

to his or her Supplemental Benefit Cash Balance Account as of the date of the lump sum payment. A Kaplan Key Employee Participant cannot receive the amount of his or her Supplemental Benefit in alump sum regardless of his or her election to receive a lump sum payment in accordance with the Kaplan Cash Balance Retirement Benefits Schedule of The Retirement Plan for Washington Post Companies. 

(iii) For purposes of the Supplemental Retirement Benefits provided by this Plan to be paid to a Kaplan Key Employee Participant (or to hisor her Surviving Spouse if eligible for and receiving a spouse’s benefit under the Retirement Plans) with respect to his or her years of Service with Kaplan, Inc. or an affiliate of Kaplan, Inc., the Unrestricted Benefit or the UnrestrictedSpouse’s Benefit shall be calculated as an annuity. If a Kaplan Key Employee Participant elects to receive a lump sum benefit from his or her Cash Balance Account under The Retirement Plan for Washington Post Companies, then the SupplementalRetirement Benefit for such Participant will be paid in the form of a single life annuity beginning at the same time the payment is commenced under The Retirement Plan for Washington Post Companies, but in no case prior to age 55. 

(iv) Notwithstanding the above, effective January 1, 2008 the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be determined as if the benefitpayable under the Retirement Plans is payable as a life annuity and actually commences on the “presumptive retirement date” which shall be the latest of the following dates: (i) the first day of the month on or after the date theParticipant terminates employment; (ii) the first day of the month on or after the date the Participant attains age 55; or (iii) January 1, 2008. The Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be determined as if it commenced on thepresumptive retirement date, but the first payment shall be made no earlier than the first day of the seventh month following termination of employment (the “actual commencement date”), and on the actual commencement date, a number ofmonthly payments shall be made equal to the number of months from the presumptive retirement date to the actual commencement date, inclusive, with one monthly payment made on the first day of each month thereafter. The Supplemental RetirementBenefit shall be

considered a series of separate payments for purposes of § 409A. The Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be payable in the form of a life annuity, provided however that the Participant mayelect, at any time prior to the presumptive retirement date, to have the Supplemental Retirement Benefit paid in the form of any other actuarially equivalent annuity that is permitted under the terms of the Retirement Plans, but only if suchelection is permitted by § 409A and the regulations thereunder. 

(c) Notwithstanding (a) and (b) above, in theevent any benefit in this Section 3 is payable in the form of an annuity, and the present value of such annuity as of the commencement date is less than $5,000, such benefit shall be paid in the form of a single lump sum equal to such presentvalue on the date the annuity would otherwise commence. For purposes of this subsection (c), each annuity benefit (defined by the commencement date and form of annuity) shall be considered separately, and shall not be aggregated with any otherbenefit payable commencing on a different date or in a different form. The present value of the annuity benefit shall be determined using the actuarial assumptions in the definition of “Actuarial Equivalent” herein except that the presentvalue of any benefit determined with respect to a Cash Balance account shall be the amount of such Cash Balance. This subsection (c) shall apply only so long as it is permissible under regulations or rulings under § 409A. 

Section 4. Supplemental Savings Plan Benefits. 

(a) In the event that the Actual Salary of an Executive Participant designated as eligible to receive benefits under this Section 4 for 1989 or any subsequent Plan Year exceeds the 401(a)(17)Limitations for such Plan Year, such Executive Participant shall be eligible to make additional salary reduction contributions under this Plan and receive a Supplemental Savings Award under this Plan for such Plan Year; provided, thatsuch Executive Participant is then participating in his or her employer’s Savings Plan and, as of the last day of the prior Plan Year (and without regard to any subsequent election to the contrary), has elected to make, for the Plan Year,(i) the maximum allowable basic, matchable tax-deferred contributions to such Savings Plan and (ii) the maximum allowable

after-tax contributions which can result in a matching employer contribution, as permitted under such Savings Plan, after taking into account the application of the non-discrimination rules ofSections 401(k) and (m) of the Internal Revenue Code for such Plan Year. In order to compute the amount of such Supplemental Savings Award, a determination will be made of the dollar amount of contributions the Executive Participant is able tomake to his or her employer’s Savings Plan which result in matching employer contributions for such Executive Participant under the terms of such Savings Plan. This dollar amount will then be expressed as a percentage (the “ApplicablePercentage”) of the amount of compensation which can be recognized for purposes of the Savings Plan under Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code for the then-current Plan Year. Prior to the beginning of each Plan Year, theExecutive Participant will be provided with the opportunity to elect to irrevocably defer under this Plan the Applicable Percentage (or any whole lower percentage) of the Executive Participant’s Actual Salary earned in excess of the 401(a)(17)Limitations for such Plan Year. Such a salary reduction is referred to as a “Supplemental Basic Contribution.” In the event that an Executive Participant elects to make a Supplemental Basic Contribution under this Plan such individual willreceive a Supplemental Savings Award under this Plan in the form of (i) a matching contribution equal to the product of the Executive Participant’s Supplemental Basic Contribution times the matching employer contribution percentage underthe terms of the applicable Savings Plan and (ii) to the extent such Participant’s employer makes an unmatched contribution to the applicable Savings Plan on behalf of such Participant, a contribution equal to the difference between theamount of such unmatched contribution actually made under such Savings Plan on behalf of such Participant and the amount of such unmatched contribution such Participant would have received under such Savings Plan if the 401(a)(17) Limitations hadnot been in effect (the “Supplemental Savings Award”). The Supplemental Savings Award for any Plan Year shall be made as of the first day of the following year. 

(b) The amount of an Executive Participant’s supplemental savings plan benefits underthis Plan shall be the aggregate amount of the Supplemental Savings Awards and the Supplemental Basic Contributions together with investment credits accrued thereon (the “Supplemental Savings Account”). Investment credits shall be creditedon the amount of an Executive Participant’s Supplemental Savings Account at the end of such Plan Year or on such other basis as may be approved by the Committee in accordance with the Executive Participant’s Investment Election.

In the event an Executive Participant fails to complete a valid Investment Election, his or her Supplemental Savings Accountwill be credited with the investment credit amounts equivalent to the rates of return generated by the money market option under the Company’s 401(k) plan. 

(c) The Compensation Committee shall establish the investment credit factors that will be available in any Plan Year. 

(d) Supplemental Savings Awards and the investment credits thereon shall be fully vested and, except as provided in Section 7 hereof, nonforfeitable. 

(e) No withdrawal of funds in an Executive Participant’s Supplemental Savings Account for hardship or any other reason may be madewhile an Executive Participant remains employed by the Company or an Affiliate. The Supplemental Savings Account shall be paid in cash on the first day of the seventh month following termination of Service. 

(f) An Executive Participant shall designate a beneficiary to receive the unpaid portion of his or her Supplemental Savings Account in theevent of his or her death. The designation shall be made in a writing filed with the Committee on a form approved by it and signed by the Executive Participant. If no effective designation of beneficiary shall be on file with the Committee whensupplemental savings benefits would otherwise be distributable to a beneficiary, then such benefits shall be distributed to the Surviving Spouse of the Executive Participant or, if there is no Surviving Spouse, to his or her estate. 

(g) Special provisions for participants who are suspended in the Savings Plans. Thissubsection shall apply only to an Executive Participant designated as eligible to receive benefits under this Section 4 who is suspended in the applicable Savings Plan for a portion of a Plan Year because the Executive Participant has less thanone year of service at the start of such Plan Year. Such an Executive Participant shall be eligible to make salary reduction contributions under this Plan and receive a Supplemental Savings Award under this Plan for such Plan Year based on theExecutive Participant’s entire Actual Salary regardless of whether it exceeds the 401(a)(17) Limitations. 

Section 5. Funding. Benefits under this Plan shall not be funded in order that the Plan may be exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA. The Committee shall maintain records of Supplemental SavingsAccounts and records for the calculation of supplemental retirement benefits. 

Section 6. 

(a) Administration. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. All decisions and interpretations of the Committee shall beconclusive and binding on the Company, and the Participants. The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company at any time and any Participant may have his or her designation as suchterminated by the Committee at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment or termination or change in designation shall deprive any Participant of supplemental retirement or savings benefits accrued to the date of such amendment ortermination.

If the Company is not successful in suchcollection effort, the Company shall collect (or “offset”) such amount out of the next future benefits to be paid to the Participant. Any such offset shall not affect the amount reported to the IRS or any other taxing authority as taxablebenefits paid to the Participant. By way of clarification of the preceding sentence, the amount reported as a taxable distribution to the Participant on any date shall be the amount that would have been distributed to the Participant on such datehad there been no offset.

The Company acting through any officer may amend this Planwithout prior approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors provided such amendment (i) is for the purpose of compliance with § 409A or any other applicable law, or the avoidance of any legal penalty or excise tax, orfor the purpose of reducing the administrative burden of the Plan on the Company, and (ii) such amendment does not increase the cost of the Plan to the Company; and (iii) such amendment does not materially affect benefits payable from thePlan. An amendment shall not be considered to materially affect benefits payable from the Plan if the only changes are changes in time and form of payment that are required by law, or minor changes in time and form of payment permitted under §409A. The Company shall not, without the consent of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, amend the Plan so as to increase the ability of officers of the Company to amend the Plan.
