Section 1. Purpose.
The purpose of this CBS Retirement Excess Pension Plan is to provide for the payment of certain pension and pension-related benefits to certain employees of CBS Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries so that the total pension and pension-related benefits of such employees can be determined without regard to certain benefit limitations imposed on the CBS Retirement Plan (the “Qualified Plan”) by Section 401(a)(17) and Section 415 of the Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and related legislation.
Section 2. 2009 Amendment and Restatement and Grandfathered Status of Benefits Deferred Prior to January 1, 2005. The Excess Pension Plan for Certain Employees of Viacom International Inc. was adopted as of January 1, 1989, restated as of January 1, 1996, renamed the Viacom Excess Pension Plan as of January 1, 2003, and further renamed the CBS Retirement Excess Pension Plan as of December 31, 2005. The Plan is hereby again amended and restated, effective as of January 1, 2009, by the adoption of Part B of the Plan, as set forth herein.

For Participants as of December 31, 1995, the maximum annual Compensation for the 1996 calendar year and each subsequent calendar year shall be the Participant’s Compensation under the Plan for the 1995 calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Participant who is also a participant in the New Viacom Pension Plan and the New Viacom Excess Pension Plan after December 31, 2005, the maximum amount of Compensation under this Plan is limited to $375,000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective July 1, 2010, an Employee who transferred on and after January 1, 2006 from one division of the Company or a subsidiary thereof to another division of the Company or a subsidiary thereof and was accruing eligibility service or benefit accrual service under the Qualified Plan on such date, will continue to participate in the Plan subsequent to any such transfer or transfers subject to satisfaction of the Plan’s eligibility requirements, provided that, if such transfer of employment occurred before July 1, 2010, such Employee was also continuously employed without interruption by the Company or a subsidiary thereof from the later of (i) January 1, 2006 and (ii) the date the Employee became an eligible Employee under the Plan through July 1, 2010.
In no event shall an Employee who is not entitled to benefits under the Qualified Plan be eligible for a benefit under this Plan.
Section 6. Amount of Benefit.
A. The benefits payable to a Participant under this Plan (the “Plan Benefit”) shall be equal to the excess, if any, of:
(i) the benefits which would have been paid to such Participant under the Qualified Plan, if the provisions of the Qualified Plan were administered without regard to the limitations required by Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 (determined as of the Benefit Commencement Date of the Post-2004 Plan Benefit, regardless of the actual commencement date of said benefits),
over
(ii) the benefits which are payable to such Participant under the Qualified Plan (determined as of the Benefit Commencement Date
- 5 -
of the Post-2004 Plan Benefit, regardless of the actual commencement date of said benefits).
B. In determining the benefit of any Participant who prior to January 1, 1996 was a participant in the Paramount Communications Inc. Retirement Plan, such eligible Participant shall not be credited with any Benefit Service prior to January 1, 1996.
C. The Plan Benefit of any Employee transferred during the period January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2010 who is retroactively deemed eligible to participate in this Plan pursuant to Paragraph 5 shall be determined considering any retroactive service credited under the Qualified Plan for the period beginning on the date of the initial transfer through June 30, 2010 and shall be calculated thereafter as provided under the Plan.
The Plan Benefit for any Employee who commences participation in the Qualified Plan on August 15, 2010 and who satisfies the Plan’s eligibility requirements, shall be determined considering any retroactive service credited under the Qualified Plan for the period on and after January 1, 2006 through August 14, 2010 and shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.A, provided that if such Employee was a participant in the CBS Cash Balance Plan Document component of the CBS Combined Pension Plan (the “Cash Balance Plan”) at any time during the period between January 1, 2006 and August 14, 2010, the amount determined under Section 6.A.(i), prior to the application of any reductions due to the Employee’s Benefit Commencement Date preceding his or her Normal Retirement Date, shall be offset (but not less than zero) by the amount of such Employee’s benefit accrued under the Cash Balance Plan for such period, if the provisions of the Cash Balance Plan were administered without regard to the limitations required by Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415. For purposes of clarity, the Cash Balance Plan benefit offset shall be expressed as a single life annuity payable at age 65, determined under Section 6.A.3 of the Cash Balance Plan in effect on August 14, 2010, utilizing a five-percent (5%) “Interest Rate” (as such term is defined in the Cash Balance Plan) and the Cash Balance Plan’s actuarial equivalence assumptions associated with an annuity starting date of August 1, 2010.
D. For purposes of clarity, a Participant’s Section 409A Grandfathered Benefit shall be paid to the Participant at the same time and in the same form as the Participant’s benefit under the Qualified Plan is paid. The Participant’s Post-2004 Plan Benefit will be calculated as follows:
(i) If the Participant’s Post-2004 Plan Benefit is payable at the same time as the benefits described in the first sentence of this Section 6.D, the Participant’s total Plan Benefit shall be determined as provided in Sections 6.A, 6.B and 6.C above. The Participant’s Post-2004 Plan Benefit shall be equal to the Participant’s total Plan Benefit, less the Participant’s Section 409A Grandfathered Benefit (but not less than zero).
- 6 -
(ii) If the Participant’s Post-2004 Plan Benefit is not paid at the same time as the benefits described in the first sentence of this Section 6.D, the amount payable to the Participant as his Post-2004 Plan Benefit pursuant to this Part B of the Plan shall be equal to the Participant’s total Plan Benefit determined as provided in Sections 6.A, 6.B and 6.C above, less the Participant’s Section 409A Grandfathered Benefit (but not less than zero), subject to the following additional criteria. Both the Participant’s total Plan Benefit and Section 409A Grandfathered Benefit shall be determined as of the Benefit Commencement Date of the Participant’s Post-2004 Plan Benefit, regardless of the actual commencement date of the Participant’s said benefits.

Subject to Subsections B, E and F of this Section 7, and except as provided in a Participant’s Transition Election, the Post-2004 Plan Benefit payable to a Participant shall commence as of the Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date, provided that the first payment may be made up to 90 days after the later of (a) the Participant’s 55th birthday, and (b) the Participant’s Separation from Service.

D. Small Payment Cash-Out. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary but subject to Section 7.E, if on a Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date, the Actuarially Equivalent lump sum present value of the Participant’s Post-2004 Plan Benefit and the Participant’s post-2004 benefits under any other plans with respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been Deferred under a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan with the Plan under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-l(c)(2) (the “Aggregate Benefit”) is less than $10,000, the Participant’s entire Aggregate Benefit will be
- 9 -
paid in such lump sum on the date the Participant’s Post-2004 Plan Benefit was otherwise scheduled to commence.
E. Delayed Payments for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a “specified employee,” determined pursuant to procedures adopted by the Company in compliance with Code Section 409A, on the date the Participant incurs a Separation from Service and if any portion of the payments or benefits to be received by the Participant upon Separation from Service would constitute a “deferral of compensation” subject to Code Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Plan during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s Separation from Service will instead be paid on the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh calendar month after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, or (ii) the Participant’s death. Any benefit payments delayed because of the preceding sentence shall be paid in a lump sum on the date described in the preceding sentence. Any benefit payments that are scheduled to be paid more than six months after such Participant’s Separation from Service shall not be delayed and shall be paid in accordance with the schedule prescribed by Subsections A and B of this Section 7.
F. Payments Upon Death.
(i) Prior to Benefit Commencement Date. In the event that a Participant dies prior to his Benefit Commencement Date, and is married or has a Same Sex Domestic Partner, a benefit (the “Pre-Retirement Death Benefit”) will be payable to his spouse or Same Sex Domestic Partner pursuant to the following provisions of this clause (i).
(A) Amount of Benefit. The Pre-Retirement Death Benefit payable to the Participant’s spouse or Same Sex Domestic Partner will be 50% of the benefit that would have been payable to the Participant under the Plan had the Participant retired on the day before his date of death and chosen a Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity Option with his spouse or Same Sex Domestic Partner as his joint annuitant. The Pre-Retirement Death Benefit for a Participant who dies prior to age 55 and who shall have five or more Years of Service on the date of his death, will be equal to the benefit payable at his Normal Retirement Date, modified as follows:
(1) reduced at the rate of 6% per year (0.5% for each full month) for each year in the period between the date he would have attained age 60 and his Normal
- 10 -
Retirement Date, if he had lived to such points in time;
(2) reduced at the rate of 4% per year (0.333% for each full month) for each year in the period between the date he would have attained age 55 and the date he would have attained age 60, if he had lived to such points in time; and
(3) reduced on the basis of Actuarially Equivalent factors for each year in the period between the date of his death and the date he would have attained age 55, if he had lived to such point in time.
(B) Time and Form of Payment. The Pre-Retirement Death Benefit shall be paid to the Participant’s spouse or Same Sex Domestic Partner in an Actuarially Equivalent single lump sum payment within 90 days after the date of the Participant’s death.

Section 8. Employees’ Rights.
An Employee’s rights under this Plan, including his rights to vested benefits, shall be the same as his rights under the Qualified Plan, except that he shall not be entitled to any payments from the Pension Trust maintained under said Plan or from any other funding vehicle on the basis of any benefits to which he may be entitled under this Plan.

However, the Board of Directors shall have the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, if, in its sole judgment, such a change is deemed necessary or desirable. The Committee shall have the right to amend the Plan at any time, unless provided otherwise in the Company’s governing documents. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a termination of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to change the time and form of distribution of Participants’ Post-2004 Plan Benefits, including requiring that the Actuarial Equivalent of Post-2004 Plan Benefits be immediately distributed in the form of a lump sum payment; provided, however, that no
- 11 -
such change in the time or form of payment shall cause the Plan to fail to comply with Section 7.E above with respect to specified employees, or to fail to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
However, if the Board of Directors or the Committee should amend the Plan, or if the Board of Directors should suspend or terminate the Plan, the Company shall be liable for any benefits accrued under this Plan as of the date of such action, to the extent they would not be payable under the Qualified Plan as of the date the Participant’s Plan Benefit commences.
Section 10. Code Section 409A.
To the extent applicable, it is intended that Part B of this Plan comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A. References to Code Section 409A shall include any proposed, temporary or final regulation, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service. This Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If any provision of this Plan is susceptible of two interpretations, one of which results in the compliance of the Plan with Code Section 409A and the applicable Treasury Regulations, and one of which does not, then the provision shall be given the interpretation that results in compliance with Code Section 409A and the applicable Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be deemed to guarantee any particular tax result for any Participant, spouse, Same Sex Domestic Partner, or beneficiary with respect to any payments provided hereunder.
