SECTION 1. CONTINUATION AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.
1.1 Continuation. There is hereby continued for the benefit of Members an unfunded plan of deferred compensation known as the Pfizer Inc Nonfunded Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Savings Plan.
1.2 Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide a means by which an Eligible Employee may, in certain circumstances, elect to defer receipt of a portion of his Regular Earnings. The Plan also provides that the Company will, in certain instances, credit the Account of a Member with Employer Accruals.
1.3 Description of the Plan. The Plan became effective July 1, 1983 and is amended and restated effective February 1, 2002, except as otherwise provided herein. For purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended, the Plan shall be treated as two separate, unfunded plans. One plan shall be an excess benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(36) of ERISA, and shall be comprised of accruals under the Plan that are made solely because of the applicable limitations under Section 415 of the Code, plus earnings thereon. All other accruals under the Plan, plus earnings thereon, shall be treated as made under a separate top-hat plan maintained by the Company primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meanings of Sections 201(a)(2) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. Separate accounts shall be maintained under the Plan for each Member, as applicable, to account for excess benefit plan accruals and earnings, and top-hat plan accruals and earnings.

Lastly, an Employer Accrual will be credited to the Account of a Member who elects to defer his bonus under the Warner-Lambert Company Incentive Compensation Plan (ICP).

SECTION 5. INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNT.
5.1 Creation of Accounts. The Company will maintain an Account under the Plan in the name of each Member. Each Members Account will be credited with the amount of the Members Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals, Employer Accruals, and will
- 9 -
be adjusted for earnings and losses thereon. In the case of Members covered under both the excess benefit and top-hat portions of the Plan, separate accounts will be maintained to reflect the Members interest in each such portion of the Plan.
5.2 Payment Account Option Election. Each Member shall elect the particular Payment Option that is to apply to amounts credited to the Members Account. In order for a Payment Option election to be effective, it must be made (i) no later than ninety (90) days (one hundred and eighty (180) days for employment terminations on or after January 1, 2003) prior to the date the Member terminates employment with the Controlled Group, and (ii) in a taxable year preceding the taxable year in which payment would otherwise be made or commence. In the absence of a timely election, payment of the Members Account will be made in accordance with the most recent Payment Option election which satisfies the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence or, in the absence of any such Payment Option election, in five (5) substantially equal annual installments commencing as soon as practicable following the end of the Plan Year in which the Member terminates employment with the Controlled Group. The foregoing notwithstanding, in any case where the value of the Members Plan Account is less than ten percent (10%) of the value of the Members interest in both the Plan and the Qualified Plan, payment of the Members Account shall be made in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the end of the Plan Year in which the Member terminates employment with the Controlled Group. Upon a Member becoming Disabled, as determined under the Qualified Plan, the balance of the Members Account shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
- 10 -
5.3 Investments. All Excess Regular Earnings Deferrals will be credited with an amount equal to the amount which would have been earned had such amounts been actually invested in one or more of the Funds (other than the Pfizer Match Fund) available for investment under the Qualified Plan, as the Member may elect from time to time, in one percent (1%) increments. The portion of the Members Account attributable to Employer Accruals shall be deemed to be invested in the Pfizer Match Fund. Rules similar to those which govern the Qualified Plan shall apply for purposes of determining the value of the deemed investments and the timing, frequency and permissibility of investment transfers, except that no diversification of Employer Accruals which are deemed to be invested in the Pfizer Match Fund shall be permitted. No provision of this Plan shall require the Company or any other Employer to actually invest any amount in any Fund or in any other investment vehicle. The Plan is an unfunded plan that is not subject to the funding requirements of ERISA, meaning that there are no actual investments held in a trust. The Accounts represent unsecured obligations of the Company, and no funds are set aside from the Companys general assets to cover such Accounts. The Plan is subject to the full faith and credit of the Company, and Members would be general creditors in the event of the Companys insolvency.
With respect to a Member subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, an election to transfer a portion of his Account into, or out of, the Pfizer Company Stock Fund shall be permitted only if the Member has not elected during the immediately preceding six months to transfer out of, or into, such Fund within this Plan, the Pfizer Company Stock Fund under the Qualified Plan or the unit account within the Pfizer Inc Nonfunded Deferred Compensation and Unit Award Plan for Non-Employee Directors, the
- 11 -
Pfizer Inc Retainer Units Award Plan for Non-Employee Directors, or the Pfizer Inc Deferred Compensation Plan.
SECTION 6. PAYMENT.
6.1 Payment of Benefits. A Member shall be paid the balance of his Account following termination of employment in accordance with the Payment Option elected by the Member. Upon the death of a Member, the Members beneficiary shall be paid the balance of the Members Account in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the death of the Member.
6.2. Benefits Subject to Withholding. The benefits payable under this Plan shall be subject to the deduction of any federal, state, or local income taxes, employment taxes or other taxes which are required to be withheld from such payments by applicable laws and regulations. Any employment taxes owed by the Member with respect to any deferral, accrual or benefit payable under this Plan may be withheld from other compensation of the Member in the year in which such tax liability accrues.
SECTION 7. NATURE OF INTEREST OF MEMBER.
Participation in this Plan will not create, in favor of any Member, any rights or lien in or against any of the assets of the Company or any Employer, and all amounts of Excess Regular Earnings deferred hereunder shall at all times remain an unrestricted asset of the Company or the Employer. A Members rights to benefits payable under the Plan are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its
- 12 -
provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between any Employer and a Member or any person, and the Companys and each Employers promise to pay benefits hereunder shall at all times remain unfunded as to the Member.
SECTION 8. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.
A Members beneficiary under this Plan will automatically be the same as such Members beneficiary under the Qualified Plan unless a separate designation of beneficiary form for this Plan has been properly filed with the Committee or its authorized designee in accordance with any rule established by the Committee. In the absence of a designation of specific beneficiary under either the Qualified Plan or this Plan, which beneficiary survives the Member, upon the Members death, payment of his Account shall be made to his estate in a lump sum as soon as practicable.

Any modification, amendment or termination may accelerate the time at which any Member is entitled to a distribution. In the event the Plan is terminated, the
- 15 -
Committee shall continue to administer the Plan in accordance with the relevant provisions thereof until the Members benefits have been paid hereunder.
