SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION; DEFINITIONS

1.1 Name of Plan; History. This Plan (formerly
known as the “Target Corporation SMG Executive Officer Deferred Compensation
Plan) is a non-qualified, unfunded plan established for the purpose of allowing
a select group of management or highly compensated employees to defer the
receipt of income. This Plan was originally adopted effective as of January 1,
1997 and was amended at various times thereafter. Effective April 30, 2002,
Participants in this Plan who were members of the Company153s Corporate Operating
Committee received credits under this Plan equal to the present value of their
benefit under the supplemental pension plans maintained by the Company. Each
subsequent April, the Participant receives annual SPP Benefit Transfer Credits
equal to the change in value of his or her benefit under the supplemental
pension plans. Effective July 31, 2002, this program was extended to include all
officers of the Company. Effective April 30, 2002, Participants in this Plan who
were members of the Company153s Corporate Operating Committee received credits
under this Plan equal to the present value of their benefit under the Company153s
ESBP. Each subsequent April, Participants received annual credits equal to the
change in value of his or her benefit under the ESBP. Effective October 28,
2005, all officers who had not previously received ESBP Benefit Transfer
Credits, received a one-time transfer of the present value of their benefit
under the ESBP. As of January 28, 2006, a one-time ESBP credit was made to
certain executive committee members and no subsequent ESBP Benefit Transfer
Credits were made to those receiving the one-time ESBP credit. From time to
time, certain participants in the Target Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan
: Senior Management Group (“ODCP”) and the Company negotiated to transfer the
economic value of their benefit under ODCP to this Plan. Officers eligible to
receive performance share awards granted in the fiscal years ending February 1,
2003 and January 31, 2004 had an opportunity to defer receipt of the value of
the earned performance shares into this Plan at the end of the performance
period. The performance period for the shares granted in 2003 ended February 3,
2007. The performance period for the shares granted in 2004 ended February 2,
2008. Effective January 1, 2005 (and other effective dates as specifically
provided), this Plan was operated in compliance with Code section 409A.
Effective January 29, 2006, members of the Company153s executive committee ceased
to be eligible to receive enhanced earnings on their account balances. The Plan,
which is intended to comply with Code section 409A, was amended and restated
effective January 1, 2009. This Plan Statement, which was amended to incorporate
the Company153s recoupment policy, is effective January 13, 2010.

provided hereunder, elect to defer the receipt of his or her Eligible
Compensation.

2.7.1 General Rule. Except as otherwise provided in

during which the Participant performs services for which the Eligible
Compensation is earned. The election must designate the percentage of the Base

shall be effective unless prior to the deadline for making such election, the
Participant has filed with the Plan Administrator, in accordance with Plan
Rules, an insurance consent form permitting the Participating Employer or
Company to purchase and maintain life insurance coverage on the Employee with
the Participating Employer or Company as the beneficiary. An election to defer

has been accepted by the Plan Administrator and the deadline for making such
election has expired, except as otherwise provided under this Plan.

2.7.2 Newly Eligible Employees. For a Newly Eligible
Employee, the deferral election may be made after the first day of a Plan Year
provided it is made within 30 days after becoming eligible to participate in
this Plan. Such a deferral election by a Newly Eligible Employee is irrevocable
once it has been received by the Plan Administrator and the deadline for making
such election has expired, except as otherwise provided under this Plan. Such
election will be effective with respect to Eligible Compensation payable for
services performed after becoming eligible for this Plan and commencing with the
next full pay period after the deferral election becomes irrevocable.

2.7.3 Terminations of Employment. A Participant who
completes a deferral election in accordance with this Section 2.7, but who has a
Termination of Employment prior to the expiration of the deadline for making
such election, will be deemed to have made no deferral election for the
respective period.

to defer Base Salary is subject to the following requirements:

2.8.1 A Base Salary deferral election will be
effective with respect to the first paycheck issued during the Plan Year,
including for the payroll period that includes the last day of the preceding

through the date the Bonus would have been paid in cash.

2.9.2 Except as provided in Section 2.11, a
Participant153s Bonus effective deferral percentage may not exceed 80%. For
deferral elections that become effective after the beginning of a service
period, that portion of a Newly Eligible Employee153s Bonus that may be deferred
is limited to the total amount of the bonus multiplied by the ratio equal to the
number of days in the service period beginning after the date of the Bonus
deferral election became irrevocable over the total number of days in the
service period.

2.9.3 If the Plan Administrator determines that a
Participant153s Bonus is “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of
Code section 409A, then, consistent with Plan Rules, the Participant153s deferral
election may be made no later than six months before the last day of the
performance period during which the Bonus is earned.

before the end of the service period for any Bonus, but is still entitled to
receive a bonus, the Participant153s existing Bonus deferral election will
continue to apply.

Participant153s election to defer his or her Performance Share Award is subject to

or Company stock, or, if earlier, six (6) months before the end of the period
over which the services giving rise to the Performance Share Award were
performed.

2.10.4 The “Plan Committee” as defined under the
Company153s Long Term Incentive Plan shall determine, in its sole and absolute
discretion for each Plan Year during which a Performance Share Award is issued,
whether Participants in any group or class are eligible to make deferral
elections under this Section 2.10 with respect to a Performance Share Award.

401(k) plan.

(a) An election to defer Base Salary amounts

within 60 days following the Participant153s Termination of Employment;

21


(ii) Each monthly installment payment will be determined by
dividing: (A) the amount of the vested portion of the Account attributable to
Appendix A, Section A-4.3 and an amount of Earnings Credits equal to the
investment adjustment that would have been credited on such SPP Benefit Transfer
Credits at the Stable Value Crediting Rate Alternative as of the most recent
Valuation Date preceding the date the installment is due, by (B) twenty-four
(24), less the number of monthly installment payments that have previously been
made from the Plan.

(c) In all other cases – a single lump sum payment within 60 days
following the Participant153s Termination of Employment.

6.2.6 Crediting of Amounts after Benefit
Distribution.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan Statement to
the contrary other than Section 6.3:

(a) Deferral and Restoration Match Credits.

(i) Lump Sum Distribution. If Deferral or
Restoration Match Credits are due after the complete distribution of the
Participant153s vested Account balance, or subaccount balance to which such
Deferral or Restoration Match Credit relate, then such subsequent credits will
be made to the Account and paid to the Participant in a single lump sum cash
payment within 60 days of being credited to the Account.

(ii) Installment Distribution. If Deferral or
Restoration Match Credits are due after a related installment distribution
occurs, then such subsequent credits will be made to the Account and included to
determine the amount of the remaining scheduled payments as applicable.

(b) SPP or ESBP Benefit Transfer Credit. The SPP
Benefit Transfer Credit other than those pursuant to Appendix A, Section A-4.3
or ESBP Benefit Transfer Credit, as applicable, arising after a Participant153s
Termination of Employment pursuant to Sections 3.3.3(f) and 3.4.1(e) shall be
distributed in a single lump sum within 60 days following the Termination of
Employment.

6.2.7 Vesting in Benefits After the Distribution
Date.
No portion of a Participant153s Account will be distributed prior
to being vested. Subject to Section 6.3, if Participant is scheduled to receive
a distribution of a portion of his or her Account that is not vested, such
unvested amount will not be paid until subsequently vested, at which time it
will be paid out in accordance with the respective distribution election.

6.2.8 No Spousal Rights. No spouse, former
spouse, Beneficiary or other person shall have any right to participate in the
Participant153s designation of a form or time of payment.

6.3 Six-Month Suspension for Specified Employees.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 6 to the contrary,
if a Participant is a Specified Employee at Termination of Employment, then any
distributions arising on account of the Participant153s Termination of Employment
(other than on account of death) that are due shall be suspended and not be made
until (6) months have elapsed since such Participant153s Termination of Employment
(or, if earlier, upon the date of the Participant153s death). Any payments that
were otherwise payable during the

22


six-month suspension period referred to in the preceding sentence, will be
paid within 60 days after the end of such six-month suspension period.

6.4 Distribution on Account of Death.
Upon the death of a Participant, the Participant153s Account balance will
be paid to the Participant153s Beneficiary in a single lump sum within 90 days
following the Participant153s death.

6.5 Distribution on Account of Unforeseeable
Emergency.

6.5.1 When Available. A Participant may
receive a distribution from the vested portion of his or her Account (which
shall be deemed to include the deferral that would have been made but for the
cancellation under Section 6.5.3) if the Plan Administrator determines that such
distribution is on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency and the conditions in
Section 6.5.2 have been fulfilled. To receive such a distribution, the
Participant must request a distribution by filing an application with the Plan
Administrator and furnish such supporting documentation as the Plan
Administrator may require. In the application, the Participant shall specify
the basis for the distribution and the dollar amount to be distributed. If such
request is approved by the Plan Administrator, distribution shall be made in a
lump sum payment within 60 days following the approval by the Plan Administrator
of the completed application.

6.5.2 Limitations. The amount that may be
distributed with respect to a Participant153s Unforeseeable Emergency shall not
exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy the emergency plus amounts necessary to
pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking
into account the extent to which such Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be
relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise by
liquidation of the Participant153s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such
assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship), and/or cancellation of
deferrals pursuant to Section 6.5.3, provided the determination of such
limitation is consistent with the requirements of Code section
409A(a)(2)(B)(ii).

6.5.3 Cancellation of Deferral Elections.
As provided by Section 2.12, in the event of a distribution under
Section 6.5.1 the Plan Administrator will cancel the Participant153s deferral
elections for the balance of the applicable Plan Year.

6.6 Designation of Beneficiaries.

6.6.1 Right to Designate or Revoke.

(a) Each Participant may designate one or more primary
Beneficiaries or secondary Beneficiaries to receive all or a specified part of
such Participant153s vested Account in the event of such Participant153s death. If
fewer than all designated primary or secondary Beneficiaries predecease the
Participant, then the amount of such predeceased Beneficiary153s portion shall be
allocated to the remaining primary or secondary Beneficiaries, as the case may
be.

(b) The Participant may change or revoke any such designation from
time to time without notice to or consent from any spouse, any person named as
Beneficiary or any other person.

(c) No such designation, change or revocation shall be effective
unless completed and filed with the Plan Administrator in accordance with Plan
Rules during the Participant153s lifetime.

23


6.6.2 Failure of Designation. If a
Participant:

(a) fails to designate a Beneficiary,

(b) designates a Beneficiary and thereafter revokes such
designation without naming another Beneficiary, or

(c) designates one or more Beneficiaries and all such Beneficiaries
so designated fail to survive the Participant, such Participant153s vested
Account, shall be payable to the first class of the following classes of
automatic Beneficiaries:

Participant153s surviving spouse
Representative of Participant153s estate

6.6.3 Disclaimers by Beneficiaries. A
Beneficiary entitled to a distribution of all or a portion of a deceased
Participant153s vested Account may disclaim an interest therein subject to the
Plan Rules.

6.6.4 Special Rules. Unless the
Participant has otherwise specified in the Participant153s Beneficiary
designation, the following rules shall apply:

(a) If there is not sufficient evidence that a person designated as
a Beneficiary was living at the time of the death of the Participant, it shall
be deemed that the Beneficiary was not living at the time of the death of the
Participant.

(b) The automatic Beneficiaries specified in Section 6.6.2 and the
Beneficiaries designated by the Participant shall become fixed at the time of
the Participant153s death (subject to Section 6.6.3) so that, if a Beneficiary
survives the Participant but dies before the receipt of all payments due such
Beneficiary hereunder, such remaining payments shall be payable to the
representative of such Beneficiary153s estate.

(c) If the Participant designates as a Beneficiary the person who
is the Participant153s spouse on the date of the designation, either by name or by
relationship, or both, the dissolution, annulment or other legal termination of
the marriage between the Participant and such person shall automatically revoke
such designation. The foregoing shall not prevent the Participant from
designating a former spouse as a beneficiary on a form that is both executed by
the Participant and received by the Plan Administrator (i) after the date of the
legal termination of the marriage between the Participant and such former spouse
and (ii) during the Participant153s lifetime.

(d) A finalized marriage (other than a common law marriage) of a
Participant subsequent to the date of filing of a Beneficiary designation shall
revoke such designation unless the Participant153s new spouse had previously been
designated as the Beneficiary.

(e) Any designation of a nonspouse Beneficiary by name that is
accompanied by a description of relationship to the Participant shall be given
effect without regard

24


to whether the relationship to the Participant exists either then or at the
Participant153s death.

(f) Any designation of a Beneficiary only by statement of
relationship to the Participant shall be effective only to designate the person
or persons standing in such relationship to the Participant at the Participant153s
death.

6.7 Facility of Payment.

6.7.1 Legal Disability. In case of the
legal disability, including minority, of an individual entitled to receive any
payment under this Plan, payment shall be made, if the Plan Administrator shall
be advised of the existence of such condition:

(a) to the duly appointed guardian, conservator or other legal
representative of such individual, or

(b) to a person or institution entrusted with the care or
maintenance of the incompetent or disable Participant or Beneficiary, provided
such person or institution has satisfied the Plan Administrator that the payment
will be used for the best interest and assist in the care of such individual,
and provided further, that no prior claim for said payment has been made by a
duly appointed guardian, conservator or other legal representative of such
individual.

6.7.2 Discharge of Liability. Any payment
made in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7 shall
constitute a complete discharge of any liability or obligation of the
Participating Employers under this Plan.

6.8 Tax Withholding. The Participating
Employer (or any other person legally obligated to do so) shall withhold the
amount of any federal, state or local income tax, payroll tax or other tax that
the payer reasonably determines is required to be withheld under applicable law
with respect to any amount payable under this Plan. All benefits otherwise due
hereunder shall be reduced by the amount to be withheld.

6.9 Payments Upon Rehire. If a Participant
who is receiving installment payments or due a deferred lump sum payment under
this Plan is rehired, the payments will continue in accordance with the prior
distribution elections.

6.10 Application for Distribution. A
Participant may be required to make application to receive payment and to
complete other forms and furnish other documentation required by the Plan
Administrator. Distribution shall not be made to any Beneficiary until such
Beneficiary shall have filed an application for benefits in a form acceptable to
the Plan Administrator and such application shall have been approved by the Plan
Administrator and the Plan Administrator has determined that the applicant is
entitled to payment.

6.11 Acceleration of Distributions. The
Plan Administrator in its sole discretion may exercise discretion to accelerate
the distribution of any payment under this Plan to the extent allowed under Code
section 409A.

6.12 Delay of Distributions. The Plan
Administrator in its sole discretion may exercise discretion to delay the
distribution of any payment under this Plan to the extent allowed under Code
section 409A, including, but not limited to, as necessary to maximize the
Company153s tax

25


deductions as allowed pursuant to Code section 162(m) or to avoid violation
of federal securities or other applicable law.

26


SECTION 7

SOURCE OF PAYMENTS; NATURE OF INTEREST

7.1 Source of Payments.

7.1.1 General Assets. Each Participating
Employer will pay, from its general assets, the distribution of the
Participant153s Account under Section 6, and all costs, charges and expenses
relating thereto.

7.1.2 Trust. Upon a Change-in-Control that
causes the Plan to be terminated under Section 8.3.2, the trustee of the Trust
will make distributions to Participants and Beneficiaries from the Trust in
satisfaction of a Participating Employer153s obligations to make distributions
under this Plan in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Trust to the
extent such payments are not otherwise made directly by the Participating
Employer.

7.2 Unfunded Obligation. The obligation of
the Participating Employers to make payments under this Plan constitutes only
the unsecured (but legally enforceable) promise of the Participating Employers
to make such payments. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors
and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims or interests in any
specific property or assets of the Company or a Participating Employer, nor
shall they be beneficiaries of, or have any rights, claims or interests in any
life insurance policies, annuity contracts or the proceeds therefrom owned or
which may be acquired by the Company.

7.3 Establishment of Trust. The
Participating Employers shall have no obligation to establish or maintain any
fund, trust or account (other than a bookkeeping account or reserve) for the
purpose of funding or paying the benefits promised under this Plan except as
provided in the Trust. The Participating Employers may from time to time
transfer to the Trust cash, or other marketable securities or other property
acceptable to the trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust. If the
Participating Employers have deposited funds in the Trust, such funds shall
remain the sole and exclusive property of the Participating Employer that
deposited such funds.

7.4 Spendthrift Provision. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 7.4, no Participant or Beneficiary shall have
any interest in any Account which can be transferred nor shall any Participant
or Beneficiary have any power to anticipate, alienate, dispose of, pledge or
encumber the same while in the possession or control of the Participating
Employers. The Plan Administrator shall not recognize any such effort to convey
any interest under this Plan. No benefit payable under this Plan shall be
subject to attachment, garnishment, or execution following judgment or other
legal process before actual payment to such person.

7.4.1 Right to Designate Beneficiary. The
power to designate Beneficiaries to receive the Account of a Participant in the
event of such Participant153s death shall not permit or be construed to permit
such power or right to be exercised by the Participant so as thereby to
anticipate, pledge, mortgage or encumber such Participant153s Account or any part
thereof, and any attempt of a Participant so to exercise said power in violation
of this provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be disregarded by
the Participating Employers.

7.4.2 Plan Administrator153s Right to Exercise
Discretion.
This Section 7.4 shall not prevent the Plan Administrator
from exercising, in its discretion, any of the applicable powers and options
granted to it under any applicable provision hereof.

27


7.5 Compensation Recovery
(Recoupment)
. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan, a Participant who engaged in intentional misconduct that contributed
directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, to the need for a restatement of
the Company153s consolidated financial statements and who becomes subject to the
Company153s recoupment policy as adopted by the Compensation Committee of the
Company153s Board of Directors and amended from time to time (“Recoupment Policy”)
may have all or a portion of his or her benefit under this Plan forfeited and/or
all or a portion of any distributions payable to the Participant or his or her
Beneficiary recovered by the Company.

7.5.1 Any Deferral Credit and related Earnings
Credits resulting from the deferral of Eligible Compensation that is subject to
recovery under the Recoupment Policy may be forfeited and, in such event, a
corresponding adjustment will be made to the Participant153s Account balance.

7.5.2 If a Participant has commenced
distributions and is subject to a claim for recovery under the Recoupment
Policy, then the Company may, subject to any limitations under Code section
409A, retain all or any portion of the Participant153s (or his or her
Beneficiary153s) taxable distribution, net of state, federal or foreign tax
withholding, to satisfy such claim.

28


SECTION 8
ADOPTION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

8.1 Adoption. With the prior approval of
the Plan Administrator, an Affiliate may adopt the Plan and become a
Participating Employer by furnishing to the Plan Administrator a certified copy
of a resolution of its board of directors adopting this Plan.

8.2 Amendment.

8.2.1 General Rule. The Board may at any
time amend this Plan, in whole or in part, for any reason, including but not
limited to tax, accounting or insurance changes, a result of which may be to
terminate this Plan for future deferrals; provided, unless such amendment is
necessary or reasonable to comply with any changes in law, no amendment shall be
effective to decrease the benefits, nature or timing thereof payable under this
Plan to any Participant with respect to deferrals made (and benefits thereafter
accruing) prior to the date of such amendment. Notwithstanding the above, the
Board authorizes the Committee to amend this Plan to make changes to the
Crediting Rate Alternatives by either adding any new or deleting any existing
Crediting Rate Alternatives, to impose limitations on selection of or deferral
into any Crediting Rate Alternative, or to make any amendments to this Plan
Statement deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee for the operation and
administration of this Plan provided such amendment does not have a material
financial impact on the Company. Such changes will be considered an Amendment
to this Plan and shall be effective without further action by the Board.
Written notice of any amendment shall be given to each Participant then
participating in this Plan.

8.2.2 Amendment to Benefit of Executive Officer.
Any amendment to the benefit of an executive officer under this Plan,
to the extent approval of such amendment by the board of directors would be
required by the Securities and Exchange Commission and its regulations or the
rules of any applicable securities exchange, will require the approval of the
Board.

8.2.3 No Oral Amendments. No modification
of the terms of this Plan Statement shall be effective unless it is in writing.
No oral representation concerning the interpretation or effect of this Plan
Statement shall be effective to amend this Plan Statement.

8.3 Termination and Liquidation.

8.3.1 General Rule.

(a) To the extent necessary or reasonable to
comply with any changes in law, the Board may at any time terminate and
liquidate this Plan, provided such termination and liquidation satisfies the
requirements of Code section 409A.

(b) To the extent that a Participant153s
benefit under the Plan will be immediately included in the income of the
Participant, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the Internal
Revenue Service, to the extent permitted under Code section 409A, the Board may
terminate and liquidate this Plan, in whole or in part, as it relates to the
impacted Participant.

8.3.2 Plan Termination and Liquidation on Account of
a Change-in-Control.
Upon a Change-in-Control, the Plan will terminate
and payment of all amounts under the Plan will be accelerated if and to the
extent provided in this Section 8.3.2.

29


(a) The Plan will be terminated effective as
of the first date on which there has occurred both (i) a Change-in-Control under
Section 1.2.8(a), and (ii) a funding of the Trust on account of such
Change-in-Control (referred to herein as the “Plan termination effective date”)
unless, prior to such Plan termination effective date, the Board affirmatively
determines that the Plan will not be terminated as of such effective date. The
Board will be deemed to have taken action to irrevocably terminate the Plan as
of the Plan termination effective date by its failure to affirmatively determine
that the Plan will not terminate as of such date.

(b) The determination by the Board under
paragraph (a) constitutes a determination that such termination will satisfy the
requirements of Code section 409A, including an agreement by the Company that it
will take such additional action or refrain from taking such action as may be
necessary to satisfy the requirements necessary to terminate and liquidate the
Plan under paragraph (c) below.

(c) In the event the Board does not
affirmatively determine not to terminate the Plan as provided in paragraph (a),
such termination shall be subject to either (i) or (ii), as follows:

(i) If the Change-in-Control qualifies as
a “change in control event” for purposes of Code section 409A, payment of all
amounts under the Plan will be accelerated and made in a lump sum as soon a
administratively practicable but not more than 90 days following the Plan
termination effective date, provided the requirements of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B) have been satisfied.

(ii) If the Change-in-Control does not
qualify as a “change in control event” for purposes of Code section 409A,
payment of all amounts under the Plan will be accelerated and made in a lump sum
as soon as administratively practicable but not more than 60 days following the
12 month anniversary of the Plan termination effective date, provided the
requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(C) have been
satisfied.

APPENDIX A

SPP Benefit

A-1 Purpose and Application. The purpose
of this Appendix A to this Plan Statement is to establish the rules for
determining the amount of the SPP Benefit Transfer Credit under this Plan.

A-2 Background.

A-2.1 Transfer Credits. The
Company has adopted and maintained several nonqualified supplemental pension
plans to provide retirement income to a select group of highly compensated and
key management employees in excess of the retirement income that can be provided
under the Target Pension Plan on account of limitations imposed by the Code.
Effective April 30, 2002, the Company began converting the accrued supplemental
pension benefits of certain participants to credits under this Plan as adjusted
annually to reflect changes in such benefits.

A-2.2 Cash Balance Formula. Effective
January 1, 2003, the Target Pension Plan was amended to add a cash balance
pension plan formula (referred to as the “personal pension account”). Depending
on the date participation commences or an election was made, a Participant who
has a benefit under the Target Pension Plan may have his or her accrued benefit
under such plan based solely on the final average pay formula (the “traditional
formula”), solely on the personal pension account, or a combination of the
traditional formula (frozen as of December 31, 2002) and the personal pension
account.

A-3 Definitions.

A-3.1 SPP I “SPP I” means the Target
Corporation SPP I.

A-3.2 SPP II “SPP II” means the Target
Corporation SPP II.

A-3.3 SPP III “SPP III” means the Target
Corporation SPP III.

A-4 SPP Benefit. Each Participant153s SPP
Benefit is equal to the sum of the benefits under Section A-4.1, Section A-4.2
and Section A-4.3.

A-4.1 Traditional Formula Benefit. A
Participant153s SPP Benefit is the excess, if any, of the monthly pension benefit
under (a) over the monthly pension benefit under (b):

(a) The monthly pension benefit the
Participant would be entitled to under the Target Pension Plan, based on the
“traditional formula,” if such formula were applied

(i) without regard to the maximum benefit
limitation required by Code section 415;

(ii) without regard to the maximum
compensation limitation under Code section 401(a)(17);

39


(iii) as if the definition of “certified
earnings” under the Target Pension Plan for a plan year included compensation
that would have been paid in the plan year in the absence of the Participant153s
election to defer payment of the compensation to a later date pursuant to the
provisions of a deferred compensation plan;

(iv) without regard to the alternative benefit
formula of Sections 4.6(a)(3) and 4.6(b)(2) of the Target Pension Plan.

(b) The monthly pension benefit the
Participant is entitled to receive under the Target Pension Plan on account of
the “traditional formula.”

A-4.2 Personal Pension Account. A
Participant153s SPP Benefit includes the excess, if any, of the amount determined
under (a) over the amount determined under (b):

(a) The amount that would have been credited
each quarter (including both “pay credits” and “interest credits”) to the
Participant153s “personal pension account” under the Target Pension Plan, if such
account were applied:

(i) without regard to the maximum benefit
limitations required by Code section 415;

(ii) without regard to the maximum
compensation limitation under Code section 401(a)(17);

(iii) as if the definition of “certified
earnings” under the Target Pension Plan for a calendar quarter included
compensation that would have been paid during such calendar quarter in the
absence of the Participant153s election to defer payment of the compensation to a
later date pursuant to the provisions of a deferred compensation plan;

(iv) as if a distribution had been made from
such account equal to any SPP Benefit Transfer Credits made under Section 3.3.

(b) The amount of the credits actually made
to the Participant153s “personal pension account” under the Target Pension Plan.

A-4.3 SPP III. For a Participant who was
participating in SPP III, the Participant153s SPP Benefit includes the actuarial
equivalent lump sum present value of the monthly pension benefit under (a) over
the monthly pension benefit under (b):

(a) The monthly pension benefits determined
under Section A-4.1(a) determined by treating the Participant as five (5) years
older than his or her actual age solely for purposes of determining the early
reduction factor (but in no case shall the Participant153s age be deemed to be
greater than age 65).

(b) The monthly pension benefits determined
under Section A-4.1(a).

A-4.4 Company Determination. The actuarial
lump sum present value of a Participant153s benefit determined under this Appendix
A will be determined by the Company, in

40


its sole and absolute discretion, by using such factors and assumptions as
the Company considers appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion as of the
date of distribution or transfer.

A-5 Forfeiture of SPP III Benefit.

A-5.1 Pre-Age 55 SPP III Forfeiture. A
Participant who has a Termination of Employment prior to attaining age 55 will
forfeit that portion of his or her SPP Benefit Transfer Credit and Earnings
Credit determined under Section A-5.3.

A-5.2 ICP Eligibility SPP III Forfeiture.
A Participant who becomes entitled to receive payments under an income
continuation plan or policy of an Affiliate on account of his or her Termination
of Employment after attaining age 55 will forfeit that portion of his or her SPP
Benefit Transfer Credit and Earnings Credit determined under Section A-5.3.

A-5.3 Amount of SPP III Forfeiture. A
Participant153s forfeiture under Sections A-5.1 or A-5.2 is that portion of the
SPP Benefit Transfer Credits attributable to his or her SPP Benefit determined
under Section A-4.3 of Appendix A, and an amount of Earnings Credits equal to
the investment adjustment that would have been credited on such SPP Benefit
Transfer Credits at the Stable Value Crediting Rate Alternative.
