<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>This
Supplemental Benefit Plan (&quot;Plan&quot;), formerly the Excess Benefit Plan,
was established by Norfolk Southern Corporation effective June 1, 1982,
(&quot;Effective Date&quot;) to provide retirement benefits to eligible
employees in excess of those provided for by the Retirement Plan of Norfolk
Southern Corporation and Participating Subsidiary Companies.&nbsp; This Plan is the
successor to and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, the following plans:</p>

Plan, as hereby amended and restated, is effective with respect to supplemental
benefits that were earned or vested (within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code) on or after January 1, 2005.&nbsp; Supplemental benefits
earned and vested (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code) before January 1, 2005, and any subsequent increase that is permitted to
be included in such benefits under Section 409A (collectively, the
&quot;Grandfathered Amounts&quot;), remain subject to the terms of the Plan as in effect
on October 3, 2004.&nbsp; For recordkeeping purposes, NSC will account separately
for the Grandfathered Amounts.</p>
