SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION; DEFINITIONS

1.1 History. The Company originally
established this Plan (formerly known as the Target Corporation Supplemental
Pension Plan III) effective as of January 1, 1995. The Plan is a non-qualified,
unfunded plan intended to provide certain pension benefits for a select group of
management or highly compensated employees who are officers that cannot be
provided under the Pension Plan due to certain limitations imposed by the Code.
The Plan is intended to be a “top hat plan” as defined under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time.
Effective as of November 8, 2000, no additional Officers could become eligible
to participate in this Plan. Effective April 30, 2002, for all Officers who had
attained age 55, the Company transferred the present value of the vested benefit
due under this Plan to the Officer EDCP. After such transfer, no benefits were
due or payable from this Plan. Further, after the transfer, the individuals
would no longer participate in this Plan or be eligible for further accruals
under this Plan. Effective January 1, 2005 (and other effective dates as
specifically provided), this Plan was operated in compliance with Code section
409A. 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 include the Company153s recoupment policy, is effective January 13, 2010.

1.2 Definitions. Terms used herein with
initial capital letters will have same meaning as those used in the Pension Plan
except as otherwise defined below or where the context clearly indicates to the
contrary.

1.2.1 Actuarial Equivalent. An “Actuarial
Equivalent” will be determined by using such factors and assumptions as the
Company considers appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion.

1.2.2 Affiliate. An “Affiliate” is the
Company and all persons, with whom the Company would be considered a single
employer under Code section 414(b) or 414(c).

1.2.4 Board “Board” is the Board of
Directors of the Company, or such committee of the Board of Directors to which
the Board of Directors of the Company has delegated the respective authority.

1.2.5 Change-in-Control.

(a) A “Change-in-Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i) 50% or more of the directors of the Company shall be persons
other than persons

(A) for whose election proxies shall have been solicited by the
Board, or


(B) who are then serving as directors appointed by the Board to
fill vacancies on the Board caused by death or resignation (but not by removal)
or to fill newly-created directorships, or

(ii) 30% or more of the outstanding voting power of the Voting
Stock of the Company is acquired or beneficially owned (as defined in Article IV
of the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company) by any
person (as defined in Article IV of the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, of the Company), other than an entity resulting from a Business
Combination in which clauses (x) and (y) of subparagraph (iii) apply, or

with or into another entity, a statutory share exchange, a sale or other
disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions) of all or
substantially all of the Company153s assets or a similar business combination
(each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, immediately following
such Business Combination, (x) all or substantially all of the beneficial owners
of the Company153s Voting Stock immediately prior to such Business Combination
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the voting power of
the then outstanding shares of voting stock (or comparable voting equity
interests) of the surviving or acquiring entity resulting from such Business
Combination (including such beneficial ownership of an entity that, as a result
of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the
Company153s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries), in
substantially the same proportions (as compared to the other beneficial owners
of the Company153s Voting Stock immediately prior to such Business Combination) as
their beneficial ownership of the Company153s Voting Stock immediately prior to
such Business Combination, and (y) no person (as defined in Article IV of the
Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company) beneficially
owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of the voting power of the outstanding
voting stock (or comparable equity interests) of the surviving or acquiring
entity (other than a direct or indirect parent entity of the surviving or
acquiring entity, that, after giving effect to the Business Combination,
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the outstanding voting stock
(or comparable equity interests) of the surviving or acquiring entity), or

(iv) approval by the shareholders of a definitive agreement or plan

eligible and upon which the Participant no longer has a benefit due under this
Plan (that is, a transfer of the benefit has been made pursuant to Section 6, or

on the relevant facts and circumstances to the Participant, the Participating
Employer, all Affiliates and Participant reasonably anticipate that the level of
bona fide future services to be performed by the Participant for the
Participating Employer and all Affiliates will permanently decrease to no more
than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed over the
immediately preceding 36-month period.

3


(c) A bona fide leave of absence that is six months or less, or
during which an individual retains a reemployment right, will not cause a
Termination of Employment. In the case of a leave of absence without a right of
reemployment that exceeds the time periods described in this paragraph, a
Termination of Employment will be deemed to occur once the leave of absence
exceeds six months.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Termination of Employment
shall not occur unless such termination also qualifies as a “separation from
service,” as defined under Code section 409A and related guidance thereunder.

satisfy the requirements of Section 2.1 or whose benefit is transferred to the
Officer EDCP pursuant to Section 5.2 is not eligible to continue to participate
in this Plan, and will not accrue any additional benefits under this Plan. The

of this Plan until such time as the Participant153s benefit is transferred, wears

person at any time and to treat him without regard to the effect that such

SECTION 3

BENEFIT : TRADITIONAL FINAL AVERAGE PAY
FORMULA

3.1 Amount of Pension.

3.1.1 General Rule. A Participant of
this Plan shall be entitled to a pension benefit under this Plan that is the

of the Participant153s election to defer payment of the compensation to a later
date pursuant to the provisions of a deferred compensation, and

(v) for purposes of the early reduction factors used under the
Pension Plan, as if the Participant was five years older than his actual age

Section 5.

6


3.1.2 Death Benefit. Subject to the
vesting requirements of Section 4, if a Participant dies prior to a transfer of
his benefit under this Section 3, the death benefit to be transferred pursuant
to Section 5 will be calculated in the same manner as the Participant153s benefit
under this Section 3, and for purposes of Section 3.1.1, as if the Participant
were alive and entitled to a benefit under the Pension Plan and the Officer EDCP
as of his date of death.

7


SECTION 4
VESTING

4.1 General Rule. A Participant will be
vested in his benefit under this Plan, unless:

(a) The Participant incurs a Termination of
Employment as defined in Section 1.2.18(a) prior to attaining age 55, or

(b) The Participant is entitled to payments
under an income continuation plan or policy of an Affiliate.

Participant whose benefit under this Plan is transferred to the Officer EDCP
pursuant to Section 5 will no longer have any rights under this Plan effective
as of the date of such transfer.

8


SECTION 5
TRANSFERS

5.1 Benefit Distributions.

5.1.1 Benefit Transfer to Officer EDCP.
No benefits accrued under this Plan will be paid directly to
Participants or Beneficiaries. All vested benefits due under this Plan, as
determined under Section 3, will be transferred to the Officer EDCP, and paid to
the Participant or Beneficiary pursuant to the terms of the Officer EDCP.

5.1.2 Form and Timing of Benefit Distribution.
Benefits earned under this Plan will be paid in the form of twenty-four
(24) monthly installment payments commencing within 60 days following the date
that the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment. Any benefits earned
under this Plan will be transferred to the Officer EDCP and subject to the
distribution terms of the Officer EDCP, including any provisions regarding the
acceleration or delay of distribution (to the extent allowed under Code section
409A).

5.2 Transfers to Officer EDCP. A
Participant153s vested benefit under this Plan will be transferred to the Officer
EDCP as provided below:

5.2.1 Timing of Benefit Transfer.

(a) On or about the last business day prior
to the end of the Company153s fiscal year immediately following the calendar year
in which a Participant is first eligible for a benefit under this Plan, a
Participant will have his or her benefit determined under this Plan and
transferred to the Officer EDCP. The transfer will be an amount equal to the
actuarial lump sum present value of the Participant153s benefit accrued under this
Plan.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of a Termination of Employment as defined under Section 1.2.18(a) or a Plan
termination on account of a Change-in-Control under Section 7.3.2 prior to the
date in Section 5.2.1(a), the transfer will be made within 60 days following
such event.

5.2.2 Benefit to Be Transferred. The
benefit transferred to the Officer EDCP is the vested benefit accrued under this
Plan and determined at the time of transfer to the Officer EDCP provided in
Section 5.2.1. The transfer to the Officer EDCP will not change the payment
form, payment timing, or vested status of the benefit determined under this
Plan. After the transfer to the Officer EDCP, the benefit will thereafter be
subject to the terms of the Officer EDCP, including the acceleration or delay of
distributions permitted thereunder.

9


SECTION 6
NATURE OF INTEREST

6.1 Unfunded Obligation. The obligation of
the Participating Employers to provide benefits pursuant to this Plan
constitutes only the unsecured (but legally enforceable) promise of the
Participating Employers to provide such benefits. 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.

6.2 Spendthrift Provision. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 6.2, no Participant or Beneficiary shall have
any interest in any benefit 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. This Section 6.2 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.

6.3 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.

(a) Any portion of the Participant153s benefit resulting from the
receipt of 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 benefit under this Plan.

(b) If a Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) is entitled to
receive a distribution under this Plan and the Participant 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 the Beneficiary153s) taxable distribution, net of state, federal
or foreign tax withholding, to satisfy such claim.

10


SECTION 7

ADOPTION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 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 the Plan.

7.2 Amendment.

7.2.1 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; 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. The Committee is authorized 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.

7.2.2 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.

7.2.3 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.

7.3 Termination.

7.3.1 General Rule.

(a) To the extent necessary or reasonable to
comply with any changes in law, the Board may at any time terminate this Plan,
provided such termination 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 this Plan, in whole or in part, as it relates to the impacted
Participant.

7.3.2 Plan Termination on Account of a
Change-in-Control.
Upon a Change-in-Control the Plan will terminate
and the transfer of all amounts under the Plan will be accelerated if and to the
extent provided in this Section 7.3.2.

(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 1.2.5(a), and (ii) a funding

11


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, transfer of all
amounts under the Plan will be accelerated and distributed under the Officer
EDCP.

(ii) If the Change-in-Control does not
qualify as a “change in control event” for purposes of Code section 409A,
transfer of all amounts under the Plan will be accelerated and distributed under
the Officer EDCP.

12

part, the Plan Administrator shall notify the claimant of the adverse benefit
determination within ninety (90) days after receipt of the claim.

(b) The ninety (90) day period for making the

the special circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which a claim
determination is expected to be made.

to be a claim or a request for a review of a denied claim unless made in
accordance with the established claim procedures. The Plan Administrator may
require that any claim for benefits and any request for a review of a denied
claim be filed on forms to be furnished by the Plan Administrator upon request.

(b) All decisions on claims and on requests
for a review of denied claims shall be made by the Plan Administrator unless
delegated as provided for in the Plan, in which case references in this
Section 9 to the Plan Administrator shall be treated as references to the Plan
Administrator153s delegate.

(c) Claimants may be represented by a lawyer
or other representative at their own expense, but the Plan Administrator
reserves the right to require the claimant to furnish written authorization and
establish reasonable procedures for determining whether an individual has been
authorized to act on behalf of a claimant. A claimant153s representative shall be
entitled to copies of all notices given to the claimant.

(d) The decision of the Plan Administrator on
a claim and on a request for a review of a denied claim may be provided to the
claimant in electronic form instead of in writing at the discretion of the Plan
Administrator.

(e) In connection with the review of a
denied claim, the claimant or the claimant153s representative shall be provided,
upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all
documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant153s claim for
benefits.

(f) The time period within which a benefit
determination will be made shall begin to run at the time a claim or request for
review is filed in accordance with the claims procedures, without regard to
whether all the information necessary to make a benefit determination
accompanies the filing.

(g) The claims and review procedures shall be
administered with appropriate safeguards so that benefit claim determinations
are made in accordance with governing plan documents and, where appropriate, the
plan provisions have been applied consistently with respect to similarly
situated claimants.

(h) The Plan Administrator may, in its
discretion, rely on any applicable statute of limitation or deadline as a basis
for denial of any claim.

8.3 Limitations and Exhaustion.

8.3.1 Claims. No claim shall be considered
under these administrative procedures unless it is filed with the Plan
Administrator within two (2) years after the Participant knew (or

15


reasonably should have known) of the general nature of the dispute giving
rise to the claim. Every untimely claim shall be denied by the Plan
Administrator without regard to the merits of the claim.

8.3.2 Lawsuits. No suit may be brought by
or on behalf of any Participant or Beneficiary on any matter pertaining to this
Plan unless the action is commenced in the proper forum within two (2) years
from the earlier of:

(a) the date the Participant knew (or
reasonably should have known) of the general nature of the dispute giving rise
to the action, or

(b) the date the claim was denied.

8.3.3 Exhaustion of Remedies. These
administrative procedures are the exclusive means for resolving any dispute
arising under this Plan. As to such matters:

(a) no Participant or Beneficiary shall be
permitted to litigate any such matter unless a timely claim has been filed under
these administrative procedures and these administrative procedures have been
exhausted, and

(b) determinations by the Plan Administrator
(including determinations as to whether the claim was timely filed) shall be
afforded the maximum deference permitted by law.

8.3.4 Imputed Knowledge. For the purpose
of applying the deadlines to file a claim or a legal action, knowledge of all
facts that a Participant knew or reasonably should have known shall be imputed
to every claimant who is or claims to be a Beneficiary of the Participant or
otherwise claims to derive an entitlement by reference to the Participant for
the purpose of applying the previously specified periods.

SECTION 10

CONSTRUCTION

10.1 ERISA Status. The Plan was adopted
and is maintained with the understanding that it is an unfunded plan maintained
primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group
of management or highly compensated employees as provided in section 201(2),
section 301(a)(3) and section 401(a)(1) of ERISA. The Plan shall be interpreted
and administered accordingly.

10.2 IRC Status. The Plan is intended to
be a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement that will comply in form and
operation with the requirements of Code section 409A and the Plan will be
construed and administered in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect
to such intention.

10.3 Rules of Document Construction. In
the event any provision of the Plan Statement is held invalid, void or
unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect whatsoever, the
validity of any other provision of the Plan. The titles given to the various
Sections of the Plan Statement are inserted for convenience of reference only
and are not part of the Plan Statement, and they shall not be considered in
determining the scope, purpose, meaning or intent of any provision hereof. The
provisions of the Plan Statement shall be construed as a whole in such manner as
to carry out the provisions thereof and shall not be construed separately
without relation to the context.

10.4 References to Laws.
Any reference in the Plan Statement to a statute or regulation shall be
considered also to mean and refer to any subsequent amendment or replacement of
that statute or regulation unless, under the circumstances, it would be
inappropriate to do so.

10.5 Appendices. Plan provisions that have
application to a limited number of Participants or that otherwise do not apply
equally to all Participants may be described in an appendix to the Plan
Statement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of a Plan Statement
appendix and the terms of the remainder of the Plan Statement, the terms of the
Plan Statement appendix control.
