INTRODUCTION
Plan Changes
The Board of Directors of Pfizer Inc. (the “Company”) approved resolutions to merge the following plans (“Merged Plans”) into the Pfizer Inc Nonfunded Supplemental Retirement Plan, generally effective December 31, 2016 (“Effective Date”):
• | Warner-Lambert Supplemental Pension Income Plan |
• | Pharmacia Supplemental Pension Plan |
• | Wyeth Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan |
• | A.L. Pharma Inc. Supplemental Pension Plan; |
The Company has adopted this amendment and restatement of the surviving plan, which has been renamed as the “Pfizer Consolidated Supplemental Pension Plan for United States and Puerto Rico Employees” (the “Plan”), to:
• | Reflect the foregoing plan mergers, |
• | Incorporate other previously adopted amendments to the Plan and the Merged Plans, |
• | Clarify certain language in the Plan and the Merged Plans, and |
• | Modify the Plan terms to reflect any additional desired changes. |
Plan benefits shall be based on the accrued benefit of each Participant (whether or not then an active Employee) under the Merged Plans, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of this restatement, unless the Plan terms expressly indicate that a change to any such plan is intended.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be frozen with respect to new accruals to the same extent as the freeze applicable to the associated Retirement Plan, effective December 31, 2017 (“Freeze Date”).
Plan Purpose
The Company maintains the Plan in order to attract and retain officers and key employees in senior managerial and other important positions with the Company and its Affiliates that participate in the Plan (the “Associate Companies”), by providing such executives compensation in the form of supplemental pension and retirement income in amounts reasonably related to their compensation and the length of their service with their respective Associate Companies and Affiliates.
Plan Composition and Organization
The Plan consists of six parts, as follows:
• | Part A comprises administrative and general provisions applicable to all Plan Participants. |
• | Parts B through F apply with respect to individuals who were Participants (or their Beneficiaries) under the applicable Merged Plan referenced herein, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, as follows: |
◦ | Part B: Pfizer Inc Nonfunded Supplemental Retirement Plan |
◦ | Part C: Warner-Lambert Supplemental Pension Income Plan |
◦ | Part D: Pharmacia Supplemental Pension Plan |
◦ | Part E: Wyeth Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan |
◦ | Part F: A.L. Pharma Inc. Supplemental Pension Plan |
The rights and benefits of any person entitled to or receiving benefits under the Plan shall be determined by the provisions of the Plan (or any Merged Plan) in effect at the time such person (or the person on whose behalf benefits are being paid) terminated employment, unless specifically otherwise provided herein or required by law.

The Board of Directors shall appoint a Committee that shall consist of at least three persons who shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.
3.2 | Duties, Powers and Responsibilities of the Committee |
(a) The Committee shall have full power, discretion, and authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind any rules, forms and procedures as it deems necessary or appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan and to make any other determinations and to take any other such actions as it deems necessary or advisable in carrying out its duties under the Plan. All action taken by the Committee arising out of, or in connection with, the administration of the Plan or any rules adopted thereunder, shall, in each case, lie within its sole discretion, and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Board of Directors, the Company, its Affiliates, all Employees, all Participants, all Beneficiaries and all persons and entities having an interest therein.
(b) Whenever the terms of the Plan or of a payment election require the payment of an amount by a specified date, the Committee shall use reasonable efforts to make or commence the payment by that date. The Committee shall not be (i) liable to the Participant or any other person if such payment or payment commencement is delayed for administrative or other reasons to a date that is later than the date so specified by the Plan or the payment election or (ii) required to pay interest or any other amount in respect of such delayed payment except to the extent specifically contemplated by the terms of the Plan.
(c) The Committee has the authority to adopt amendments as set forth in Section 4.1.
3.3 | Delegation |
The Committee shall have the power to delegate to any person or persons the authority to carry out such administrative duties, powers and authority relative to the administration of the Plan as the Committee may from time to time determine. Any action taken by any person or persons to whom the Committee makes such a delegation shall, for all purposes of the Plan, have the same force and effect as if undertaken directly by the Committee. If any individual to whom the Committee delegates authority is a Participant, such individual shall not resolve, or participate in the resolution of, any matter specifically relating to such individual’s eligibility to participate in the Plan or the calculation or determination of such individual’s Plan Benefit.
3.4 | Indemnification and Payment of Expenses |
Each member of the Committee and each employee of an Associate Company to whom Committee’s responsibilities have been delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all costs and expenses (including counsel fees, but excluding any amount representing a settlement unless such settlement be approved by the Board of Directors) reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him, in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding, to which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a member of a Committee (whether or not he continues to be a member of such Committee at the time when such cost or expense is incurred or imposed), or in the case of an employee of an Associate Company, his or her performance of duties in connection with the Plan, to the full extent permitted by law, except when such person acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct. The foregoing rights of indemnification shall not be exclusive of other rights to which any member of a Committee may be entitled as a matter of law.
The Company shall pay all expenses of administering the Plan except as otherwise determined by the Committee. Any allocation pursuant to this Section 3.4 among Associate Companies treated as the Company for purposes of this Plan provision shall be determined by the Committee in a fair and nondiscriminatory manner.
A-6
Part A: Administrative And General Sections Applicable To All Participants
3.5 | Claims Procedures |
Any request by a Participant or any other person for any benefit alleged to be due under the Plan shall be known as a “Claim” and the Participant or other person making a Claim, or the authorized representative of either, shall be known as a “Claimant.” The Committee or its delegate reviewer has sole discretion to determine whether a communication from an individual shall be a Claim. To the extent of their responsibility to review benefit claims or to review the denial of benefit claims, the Committee and the reviewer shall have full authority to interpret and apply, in their discretion, the provisions of the Plan. The decisions of the Committee and reviewer shall be final and binding upon any and all Claimants, including, but not limited to, Participants and their Beneficiaries, and any other individuals making a Claim or requesting review of a Claim through or under them, and shall be afforded the maximum deference permitted by law. A Participant may not maintain a court action over a disputed claim until he or she has exhausted the Plan’s claims procedures.
Claimant may submit a written application to the Committee or its delegate reviewer for payment of any benefit that he believes may be due him under the Plan, in accordance with Plan procedures. Such application shall include a general description of the benefit which the Claimant believes is due, the reasons the Claimant believes such benefit is due and any information as the Committee or its delegate reviewer may reasonably request. The Committee or its delegate reviewer will process the Claimant’s application within ninety (90) days of the receipt of the Claim by the Committee or its delegate reviewer unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the Claim. In such event, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial ninety (90) day period but in no event shall the extension exceed a period of ninety (90) days from the end of such initial period. The notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render the final decision. If the Committee or its delegate reviewer has not determined the Claimant’s eligibility for a Plan benefit within this ninety (90) day period (one hundred eighty (180) day period if circumstances require an extension of time), the Claim is deemed denied. A Claim is considered approved only if such approval is memorialized by the Committee or its delegate reviewer in writing.
If a Claim is denied in whole or in part, the notice of denial shall set forth (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (ii) specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the Claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, if applicable, and (iv) an explanation that, if an adverse determination is made on review, the Claimant may have a right to bring civil action under Section 502(a) or ERISA. Within sixty (60) days of the receipt of a notice of denial of a Claim in whole or in part or a deemed denial, a Claimant (i) may request a review upon written application to the Committee, (ii) may review documents pertinent to the Claim, and (iii) may subject issues and comments in writing to the Committee. The Claimant shall be provided upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to all documents, records and other information relevant to the Claimant’s Claim for benefits.
The Committee will review a Claim for which a request for review has been made and render a decision not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for review; provided, however, that if special circumstances require extension of a time for processing, a decision shall be rendered no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for review. Written notice of any such extension shall be furnished to the Claimant within sixty (60) days after receipt of request for review. The Committee’s decision shall be in writing and shall set forth (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial on review, (ii) specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial on review is based, (iii) an explanation that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Claimant’s Claim for benefits, and (iv) an explanation that if an adverse determination is made on review, the Claimant may have the right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. If the decision on review is not furnished within the applicable time, the Claim shall be deemed denied on review.
3.6 | Statute of Limitations |
A Claimant wishing to seek judicial review of an adverse benefit determination under the Plan, whether in whole or in part, must file any suit or legal action, including, without limitation, a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. Legal action cannot be taken with respect to any denial of a claim hereunder more than one year after the Committee has made a final determination that such claim shall be denied.

4.1 | Amendment |
Subject to any explicit provisions in an applicable Part of the Plan, the Plan may be amended at any time, by the Board of Directors or an authorized designee, which shall include the Executive Vice President, Worldwide Human Resources and the Senior Vice President, Total Rewards. The Committee may also make certain amendments which:
(a) Effectuate purely administrative changes to the Plan;
(b) Conform the Plan with or take advantage of governmental requirements, statutes or regulations; or
(c) Do not increase Plan liabilities by an amount in excess of five million dollars, nor increase Plan expenses by an amount in excess of five hundred thousand dollars.
4.2 | Termination |
The Plan may be terminated at any time, by the Board of Directors or the authorized designee. In the event the Plan is terminated:
(a) The Committee shall continue to administer the Plan in accordance with the relevant provisions thereof until all Plan benefits have been paid hereunder, except that no further accruals of benefits shall be permitted.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), the Board of Directors or the Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate payment of Plan benefits (other than Grandfathered Benefits und Parts C or E of the Plan) and such acceleration may be effected in a manner that will not result in the imposition on any Participant of additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A.
4.3 | Restrictions |
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment of the Plan shall apply to Grandfathered Benefits unless the amendment specifically provides that it applies to such amounts. The purpose of this restriction is to prevent a Plan amendment from resulting in an inadvertent “material modification” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-6(a)(4)(i)) to Grandfathered Benefits.
(b) Except as provided in Paragraph (c), no amendment or termination may reduce the amount of a Participant’s Plan benefit as of the date of such amendment or termination without the Participant’s written consent; and provided further that it shall not be a reduction of a Participant’s Plan benefit if the amount of the Plan benefit is reduced solely as a result of an increase in the Participant’s Retirement Plan benefit.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, with respect to a Participant’s NonGrandfathered Benefit, the Board of Directors or the Committee shall have the independent right, prospectively and/or retroactively, to amend or modify the Plan in accordance with Code Section 409A, in each case, without the consent of any Participant, to the extent that the Board of Directors or the Committee deems such action to be necessary or advisable to address regulatory or other changes or developments that affect the terms of the Plan with the intent of effecting Code Section 409A compliance. Any determinations made by the Board of Directors or the Committee under this Section 4.3 shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons.

5.1 | Unfunded Plan |
The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan of deferred compensation for Participants and Beneficiaries. The sole obligation of the Company or an Associate Company hereunder to a Participant, or any other person claiming through or under any such individual, is a contractual obligation to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof and any such person shall have no rights with respect to any interests under the Plan greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company or an Associate Company.
5.2 | Creation of a Rabbi Trust |
No amount of cash or other property shall be set aside as a separate trust for the payment of any Plan benefit, except that the Committee or the Board of Directors, in its discretion (or as required under the provisions of the applicable Part of the Plan with respect to a “Change in Control” as defined therein), may establish a grantor trust to fund benefits payable under the Plan and administrative costs relating to the Plan. The assets of said trust shall be held separate and apart from other funds of the Company or an Associate Company and shall be used exclusively for the purposes set forth in the Plan and the applicable trust agreement, subject to the following conditions:
(a) the creation of said trust shall not cause the Plan to be other than “unfunded” for purposes of ERISA;
(b) the Company shall be treated as the “grantor” of said trust for purposes of Sections 671 and 677 of the Code;
(c) said trust agreement shall provide that the trust fund assets may be used to satisfy claims of the Company’s general creditors; and

Payment shall be delayed and not paid to the Participant until the first Business Day of the month following foregoing delay period.

(ii) For purposes of Parts C and E of the Plan, if a Participant dies on or after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service and prior to payment pursuant to this Section 6.2, in no event shall payment be made to the Participant’s joint annuitant (if the benefit form elected by the Participant is a joint annuity) or, if there is no joint annuitant, the Participant’s Beneficiary, as applicable, together with any interest credited thereon, prior to the January 1st following the calendar year in which the Participant’s death occurs.
(c) At the end of the applicable delay period, the delayed amounts shall be increased with interest pursuant to procedures adopted for such purpose at the interest rate being used to determine lump-sum payments under the Retirement Plan.

A Participant may elect to transfer the full lump sum value of his NonGrandfathered Benefit under the Part B, D, or E of the Plan (as applicable) to the PSSP upon the later to occur of the Participant’s Separation from Service or age 55. Such value (the “Notional Transfer”) shall be determined in accordance with the actuarial assumptions used to determine lump sum distributions payable as of the transfer date under the provisions of the applicable Part of the Plan.

Thereafter, Notional Transfers shall be paid from the PSSP in the form of a lump sum or installments as elected at the time that the Notional Transfer election is made.

With respect to a NonGrandfathered Benefit, whenever due to (a) a bona fide mathematical or actuarial error, or (b) additional compensation for purposes of the Plan for the taxable year of the Participant in which the Participant has a Separation from Service which has been administratively impracticable to take into account at the time of such Separation from Service, the amount of such NonGrandfathered Benefit is determined after such payment to have been less than if such error had not been made or such compensation taken into account, then a supplemental corrective lump sum payment correcting such error or taking into such additional compensation may be made by the Company or Associate Company prior to December 31st of the year in which the lump sum payment was made. After such December 31st, no further corrective payment shall be made.
9.2 | Additional Payments that Cannot be Made under a Retirement Plan |

Such designation may be changed or canceled at any time without the consent of any such Beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made in a form approved by the Committee and shall not be effective until received by the Committee, or its designee. If no Beneficiary has been named, or the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall have predeceased the Participant, the provisions in the applicable Part of the Plan governing such Participant’s benefit shall determine the default Beneficiary and, in the absence of any such provisions, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. If a Participant designates more than one Beneficiary, the interests of such Beneficiaries shall be paid in equal shares, unless otherwise provided in the Participant’s designation or pursuant to the terms of the applicable Part of the Plan.
9.4 | Limitation of Participant’s Rights |
Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as conferring upon any Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Company or an Associate Company, nor shall it interfere with the rights of the Company or an Associate Company to terminate the employment of any Participant and/or to take any personnel action affecting any Participant without regard to the effect which such action may have upon such Participant as a recipient or prospective recipient of benefits under the Plan. Any amounts payable hereunder shall not be deemed salary or other compensation to a Participant for the purposes of computing benefits to which the Participant may be entitled under any other arrangement established by the Company or an Associate Company for the benefit of its employees, except as expressly provided therein.

In the event that the Committee shall determine that all such necessary information shall not have been provided, it shall redetermine the Plan benefit to be paid thereafter, and it may, on a finding of an intentional omission or misrepresentation by a Participant or Beneficiary, reduce subsequent payments by the amount of any such prior payments in excess of amounts actually due or terminate payments under the Plan to such Participant or Beneficiary.
9.6 | Notices |
Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to such entity or individual as the Committee may designate from time to time.

All consents of the Board of Directors and all consents of the Committee herein provided for may be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of said Board of Directors or of the Committee, as the case may be (or the authorized delegate), and, if granted, may be granted on such terms and conditions as said Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be (or the authorized delegate), in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine.

The Committee shall not be obligated to disclose to any Participant, Beneficiary, or other party, any otherwise-privileged communications between the Committee and legal counsel for the Plan. Legal advice provided to the Plan or the Committee belongs to the Plan or the Committee, not to Participants or Beneficiaries.

The determination of any currency exchange rate for a benefit payable in other than U.S. dollars shall be made at the last day of the second month preceding the Commencement Date.

Part B: Provisions Applicable To The Pfizer Sub-Plan
4.2 | Adjustment to Benefit Amount |
Notwithstanding Section 4.1 or any other provision of this Part B of the Plan, the amount of supplemental payments by the Company may, to the extent provided in separate written agreements with an Employee, be increased by calculating the benefits payable under the provisions of this Part B of the Plan which are to be calculated without reference to the limitations imposed by Code section 415 and Code section 401(a)(17) as adjusted in any of the following manners by: (a) imputing additional credited service, which may or may not be taken into account for vesting and participation purposes as determined in the written agreement, (b) imputing additional earnings, and/or (c) offsetting amounts relating to benefits actually paid or payable under qualified or nonqualified plans of prior employers. No such adjustment to the amount of any benefit pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall affect the time or form of payment of any benefit payable under this Part B of the Plan.
4.3 | Pfizer Enhanced Employee Separation Program |
In addition to the benefit payable under the first sentence of Section 4.1, if any, the Company shall make a lump sum cash payment to those Employees who (i) have attained age fifty (50) on the date of their termination, (ii) accepted the pension enhancement offered to them under the Pfizer Enhanced Employee Separation Program implemented in connection with the April 2003 acquisition of Pharmacia Corporation (the “Enhancement”), (iii) after giving effect to the Enhancement, are eligible for early retirement, normal retirement, or the rule of 90 described under Section 4.2 of the Annuity Plan (the “Rule of 90”), and (iv) were credited with pensionable earnings within the meaning of the Annuity Plan in 2002 of between $103,000 and $200,000. The Enhancement shall not apply to any Employee terminated after the April 2003 acquisition of Pharmacia Corporation and subsequently rehired.
The amount of the lump sum cash payment shall be equal to the difference between (i) and (ii) where: (i) is the present value of the accrued benefit of the Employee under the Annuity Plan determined as of the Employee's termination date if calculated (a) by giving effect to a five (5) point enhancement in age and/or service solely for purposes of determining early retirement or normal retirement eligibility under the Annuity Plan and the Rule of 90, but not for purposes of actuarial reduction on account of age under Schedules B or C of the Annuity Plan if the Employee has not attained normal retirement age or met the Rule of 90 after taking into account the five (5) point enhancement (but no more than a combined total of five (5) points in the combination of age and service which provides the Employee with the greater benefit), and (b) without reference to the limitations of Code sections 415 and 401(a)(17); and (ii) is the present value of the sum of (a) the accrued benefit of the Employee under the Annuity Plan determined as of the Employee's termination date and (b) the payments, if any, by the Company to the Employee under the first sentence of Section 4.1 above.
Calculation of present value shall be made using the Annuity Plan’s actuarial assumptions for payment of lump sums. Such lump sum payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the Employee’s Separation from Service, but in no event more than ninety (90) days following such Separation from Service. As described in Section 9.2 of Part A of the Plan, any amounts which may not be paid under Appendix B of Part B of the PCPP due to the Participant having more than $132,000 in pensionable earnings in 2004 (as adjusted in accordance with tax laws and regulations) shall be payable hereunder in accordance with the terms of such Appendix B.

Notwithstanding any elections under, or provisions of, this Part B of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to NonGrandfathered Benefits, upon the Employee’s death, NonGrandfathered Benefits shall be paid to the Employee’s Beneficiary (to the extent payable), in a lump sum in the January following the “Earliest Death Benefit Commencement Date,” which is later of (i) the Employee’s date of death; or (ii) at the time when the Employee would have attained the earliest of the following: (a) attainment of age fifty five (55), or (b), such Employee's age added to years of Creditable Service as determined under the Annuity Plan equaling or exceeding ninety (90). Such payment shall be made regardless of any re-deferral by the Employee under Section 5.7, and irrespective of whether the Employee was a Key Employee. When the supplemental annuity payments under this Section 5.4(a) are converted to a lump sum form of payment, such lump sum shall be calculated using the actuarial assumptions for calculations of lump sum benefits under the Annuity Plan at the first of the month coincident with or following the “Earliest Death Benefit Commencement Date.

The Beneficiary (or other individual or entity, as applicable) of a Participant who dies during active employment (excluding anyone on a leave of absence due to long–term disability) with an Associate Company under this Part B of the Plan on or after June 1, 2015, after having reached Normal Retirement Age or Early Retirement Age (as such terms are defined in the applicable provisions for determining the Employee’s benefit under the Annuity Plan) shall be eligible for an enhanced death benefit in lieu of any other death benefit provided under this Part B to the Plan, subject to the spousal consent requirements described herein for married Participants.

(II) The NGF portion for a married Participant shall equal the excess of the total enhanced active death benefit determined in (b)(i), over the GF portion determined in the immediately preceding paragraph (I).

If the Participant is married and the surviving Spouse does not waive the QPSA under the Annuity Plan, the lump sum value of the survivor portion of the Participant’s Plan benefit payable as a 50% joint and survivor annuity with the Spouse as the contingent annuitant shall be paid directly to the Participant’s surviving Spouse and no further enhanced active death benefit shall be payable.
(B) If the Participant is unmarried, the enhanced active death benefit shall be transferred as a notional transfer to the Participant’s PSSP account.
A notional transfer to the PSSP shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following the Participant’s death and shall be subject to the PSSP beneficiary designations. A distribution from PSSP is generally made on the January 1 coincident with or next following date of death. However, in the event that a valid spousal QPSA waiver is signed in the year following the year of death, the distribution from PSSP must be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the death occurred.
Payment of the enhanced active death benefit shall be made regardless of any re-deferral by the Employee under Section 5.7 of this Part B, and irrespective of whether the Employee was a Key Employee.

If the Employee subsequently recovers from Disability and resumes work with the Company, NonGrandfathered Benefits accrued to such date of return to work shall continue to be paid in accordance with the foregoing sentence. Any NonGrandfathered Benefits accrued thereafter shall be governed under Section 5.2.
5.6 | Automatic Cash Out. |

Payment shall also be delayed pursuant to Section 6.3 of Part A of the Plan.

(b) A Participant shall be eligible to elect a Notional Transfer if he would be eligible to retire and commence unreduced benefits under the PCPP (assuming he had terminated employment), such that he has either attained age 65 or that the sum of his age and his years of Creditable Service (whether partial or complete), equals or exceeds 90 (“Rule of 90”).
(c) The Notional Transfer amount shall be determined in accordance with the actuarial assumptions used to determine lump sum distributions payable as of the transfer date under the provisions of this Part B of the Plan.

(e) The amount that is subject to the Notional Transfer shall thereafter be subject to the terms of the PSSP, except that it shall be distributed from the PSSP at the same time and in the same form that such amount would have been distributed from this Part B of the Plan had the transfer not been elected, without regard to any additional distributions payable to such Participant from the PSSP.
(f) A Notional Transfer election shall be permitted between October 1, 2015 and November 9, 2015, and shall become effective on January 1, 2016.

For purposes of this Article V, the marital status of a Retired Senior Executive shall be determined at the Retirement Date and the actual date of birth of the current Spouse will be used.
5.3 The Basic Pension Income for a Retired Senior Executive who terminates employment on an Early Retirement Date shall be the sum of the amounts of annual pension benefits listed in Section 5.2 hereof, determined as if the payment of such benefits commenced on the Retired Senior Executive's Normal Retirement Date. Each component of Basic Pension Income shall be actuarially reduced (based upon the factors of the plan under which the benefit is being provided or, if such factors are not available or applicable, under the factors applicable to the Retirement Plan in effect on the Retirement Date) to the later of the Early Retirement Date or the earliest date such pension benefits are actually available. In the event that the payment of any annual pension benefit listed in Section 5.2 hereof shall first become available on a date following the Early Retirement Date of such Retired Senior Executive, the amount of such annual pension benefit shall be included in the Basic Pension Income of such Retired Senior Executive only from and after the first date on which the benefit is available. As applied to Social Security benefits, the preceding sentence shall be applied to a Retired Senior Executive (1) whose Retirement Date is prior to age 62 by estimating the amount of Social Security benefits that will be available at age 62 based upon the law in effect at the Retirement Date, with such amount being included in the Basic Pension Income of such Retired Senior Executive commencing at age 62, and (2) whose Retirement Date is at or after age 62 by including the amount of Social Security benefits available at the Retirement Date based on the law in effect at such Retirement Date in the Basic Pension Income of the Retired Senior Executive commencing at the Retirement Date.

The amount of such lump sum payment shall equal the present value of the benefit otherwise payable to the surviving Spouse in an annuity as of the date on which the Participant would have attained age 62 (or his date of death, if later). This present value determination shall be based on the surviving Spouse’s age and the actuarial assumptions for calculating lump sum payments under the Retirement Plan as of the first day of the month coincident with or next following the Participant’s date of death.
(b) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph (a), the Beneficiary(or individual or entity, as applicable) of a Participant who dies during active employment (excluding a Participant on a leave of absence due to long–term disability) with an Associate Company under Part C of the Plan on or after June 1, 2015, after having reached Normal Retirement Age or Early Retirement Age (as such terms are defined in the applicable provisions for determining the Employee’s benefit under the Retirement Plan) shall be eligible for an enhanced death benefit in lieu of any other death benefit provided under this Part C to the Plan, subject to the spousal consent requirements described herein for married Participants.
(i) The amount of the enhanced active death benefit shall equal the lump sum value of the Participant’s Plan benefit payable as of the date on which the Participant would have attained age 62 (or his date of death, if later) in the form of a single life annuity. This lump sum value determination shall be based on the Participant’s age and the actuarial assumptions for calculating lump sum payments under the Retirement Plan as of the first day of the month coincident with or next following the Participant’s date of death.
The enhanced active death benefit for a married Participant shall consist of a grandfathered (“GF”) portion and a nongrandfathered (“NGF”) portion, as follows:
(I) The GF portion for a married Participant shall equal the lump sum value of the survivor portion of the Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit payable as a 50% joint and survivor annuity with the Spouse as the contingent annuitant, based on the surviving Spouse’s age.
(II) The NGF portion for a married Participant shall equal the excess of the total enhanced active death benefit determined in paragraph (b)(i), over the GF portion determined in the immediately preceding paragraph (I).
The entire enhanced active death benefit for an unmarried Participant shall be treated as the NGF portion.
(ii) The enhanced active death benefit shall be paid as follows:
(I) If the Participant is married and the surviving Spouse waives the Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity (“QPSA”) under the Retirement Plan, the NGF portion shall be transferred as a notional transfer to the Participant’s PSSP account and the GF portion shall be paid directly to the Participant’s surviving Spouse as an annuity.
(II) If the Participant is unmarried, the enhanced active death benefit shall be transferred as a notional transfer to the Participant’s PSSP account.
(III) If the Participant is married and the surviving Spouse does not waive the QPSA under the Retirement Plan, the survivor portion of the Participant’s Plan benefit payable as a 50% joint and survivor annuity with the Spouse as the contingent annuitant shall be paid directly to the Participant’s surviving Spouse and no further enhanced active death benefit shall be payable. If the Participant dies prior to January 1, 2018, the entire death benefit shall be paid as an annuity, and if the Participant dies on or after January 1, 2018, the GF portion shall be paid as an annuity and the NGF portion shall be paid as a single lump sum payment to the surviving Spouse.
A notional transfer to the PSSP shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following the Participant’s death and subject to the PSSP beneficiary designations. A distribution from PSSP is generally made on the January 1 coincident with or next following date of death. However, in the event that a valid spousal QPSA waiver is signed in the year following the year of death, the distribution from PSSP must be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the death occurred.
(iii) Payment of the enhanced active death benefit shall be made regardless of any re-deferral by the Employee under Section 10.3 of this Part C, and irrespective of whether the Employee was a Key Employee.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION

This Part D applies to individuals who are Participants in the Pharmacia Corporation Supplemental Pension Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date or who become Participants in the Plan thereafter pursuant to the eligibility and participation requirements of this Part D of the Plan.
In recognition of the valuable services provided to The Upjohn Company (“Upjohn”), a predecessor of Pharmacia & Upjohn, Inc. (“P&U”) by its executive employees, the Board of Directors adopted The Upjohn Supplemental Retirement Plan, effective January 1, 1976, as amended and restated effective July 19, 1988, to provide additional retirement benefits to those individuals whose benefits under certain “qualified” retirement plans sponsored by Upjohn, were affected by certain limitations imposed by the Code, as defined below. In addition, Upjohn also adopted another plan, known as The Upjohn Replacement and Deferred Benefit Plan, also effective as of July 19, 1988, to provide additional retirement benefits to those individuals whose benefits under certain “qualified” retirement plans sponsored by Upjohn were also affected by certain other limitations imposed by the Code. P&U merged the Replacement and Deferred Benefit Plan with and into the Upjohn Supplemental Retirement Plan, and renamed the merged plan the Supplemental Pension Plan (the “Prior P&U Plan”), effective as of January 1, 2000, and made certain other desirable changes to the Prior P&U Plan’s text, so that all of the benefits payable under the merged plans as of January 1, 2000 would be provided under the terms and conditions of the Prior Plan.
In 2000, P&U merged with and into a subsidiary of Pharmacia Corporation. At the time of the merger, Pharmacia Corporation (formerly, the Monsanto Company) sponsored the Pharmacia Corporation ERISA Parity Pension Plan (the “Pharmacia Parity Plan”), formerly the Monsanto Company ERISA Parity Pension Plan, and the Pharmacia Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “Pharmacia Supplemental Retirement Plan”), formerly the Monsanto Company Supplemental Retirement Plan. Effective as of July 1, 2002, the Pharmacia Parity Plan and the Pharmacia Supplemental Retirement Plan were merged with and into the Prior P&U Plan so that all of the benefits payable under the Pharmacia Parity Plan or the Pharmacia Supplemental Retirement Plan as of July 1, 2002 would be provided under the terms and conditions of the Prior P&U Plan.
The Plan is hereby amended and restated as of the Effective Date and merged into the Plan, as reflected in this Part D of the Plan.

The Elected Payment Form for a Grandfathered Benefit may be different from the form of payment elected by the Participant under the Retirement Plan. A Participant shall make his Payment Election for his Grandfathered Benefit prior to the date of, or in connection with, the Participant’s Separation from Service, and if no Payment Election is made prior to the date of, or in connection with, the Participant’s Separation from Service, the Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit shall be payable in the Default Payment Form on the applicable Normal Payment Date.

1. | Participants Who Are Not Retirement Eligible. If a Participant who is not Retirement Eligible at the time of his Separation from Service has elected prior to, or in connection with, his Separation from Service the Lump-Sum Option for the payment of his Grandfathered Benefit, such Lump-Sum Option shall be paid on the later of (i) the first day of the first month following the expiration of the Payment Delay Period and (ii) the first day of the month coincident with or next following the month in which the Participant attains age 55. |

If payment of a Participant’s Lump-Sum Option is delayed under this Section 5.2(c) solely by operation of the Payment Delay Period, the Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit shall be credited with interest on a quarterly basis during the applicable portion of the Payment Delay Period based upon the interest rate being used to determine Lump-Sum Option payments under the Retirement Plan for each such quarter.

If the portion of a Participant’s Plan Benefit that is intended to be a Grandfathered Benefit shall, for any reason, become subject to Section 409A, such benefit shall be paid in accordance with the Payment Election (or applicable default payment rule) for such Participant’s NonGrandfathered Benefit.
5.3 Payment Elections for NonGrandfathered Benefits
This Section 5.3 applies notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Part A of the Plan, except as required by law.

For purposes of clarification, a Participant accrues a benefit under the Plan only to the extent that a Participant’s benefits under the Retirement Plan are limited as a result of Deferrals or by operation of Code Limits.
(b) Payment Date for Participants Who Accrue a Plan Benefit Prior to January 1, 2009. An employee who first becomes a Participant and accrues a Plan Benefit prior to January 1, 2009 shall receive or commence receiving payment of his NonGrandfathered Benefit on the Participant’s applicable Normal Payment Date, unless (i) the Participant (A) elects in accordance with his Transition Election the DCP Option for all or a portion of his NonGrandfathered Benefit and (B) specifies an Elected Payment Date in accordance with this Section 5.3 or (ii) the Participant makes a redeferral election in accordance with Section 7.

An employee who first becomes a Participant and accrues a Plan Benefit prior to January 1, 2009 may elect to receive his NonGrandfathered Benefit in any of the available forms of payment described in Section 5.6. The Elected Payment Form for a NonGrandfathered Benefit may be different than the form of payment elected by the Participant under the Retirement Plan. If a Participant does not specify an Elected Payment Form for his NonGrandfathered Benefit, such Participant’s NonGrandfathered Benefit shall be paid in the Default Payment Form. A Participant may only elect one payment form for his NonGrandfathered Benefit, unless he elects the DCP Option. In the event a Participant elects to receive a portion of his NonGrandfathered Benefit in the form of the DCP Option, the remainder of the Participant’s Plan Benefit shall be paid in the Default Payment Form.
(d) Special Rule for Certain Executives Hired in 2008. A 2008 New Executive shall be entitled to make a contingent Payment Election prior to December 31, 2008 with respect to any NonGrandfathered Benefit to which he may be entitled in the future. A 2008 New Executive shall be permitted to make the same Payment Elections with respect to his NonGrandfathered Benefit, as an employee who first becomes a Participant and accrues a Plan Benefit prior to January 1, 2009.
(e) Separation from Service in 2009. If a Participant described in Section 5.3(a) makes a Payment Election during 2008, incurs a Separation from Service between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and has elected to receive his NonGrandfathered Benefit in a Lump-Sum Option, such payment of the Lump-Sum Option shall not be made until January 1, 2010. If the payment of a Lump-Sum Option is delayed beyond the Normal Payment Date in accordance with the previous sentence, a Participant’s NonGrandfathered Benefit shall be credited with interest on a quarterly basis based upon the interest rate being used to determine Lump-Sum Option payments under the Retirement Plan for each quarter of such delay. In the event a Participant dies during the period of any such delay, his NonGrandfathered Benefit shall be paid to his Beneficiary together with any interest credited thereto in a lump-sum payment on the tenth day of the month following the date of such Participant’s death.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.3, an Eligible Employee who is rehired by the Company or otherwise again becomes an Eligible Employee, alter accruing a NonGrandfathered Benefit under the Plan or a benefit under any other Company Non-Account Plan shall not be entitled to make a Payment Election. In the event such an Eligible Employee previously Separated from Service with the Company, payment of his NonGrandfathered Benefit accrued prior to such Separation from Service shall not be suspended or otherwise delayed and any additional NonGrandfathered Benefit accrued by such an Eligible Employee shall be paid on the Normal Payment Date and in the Default Payment Form. In the event such an Eligible Employee did not incur a Separation from Service, the additional benefit accrued by the Participant shall be distributed on the Payment Date and in the Payment Form applicable to the NonGrandfathered Benefit previously accrued by the Participant.
(i) Modifying a Payment Form. An Employee who first becomes a Participant and accrues a Plan Benefit prior to January 1, 2009 and who elects to receive his NonGrandfathered Benefit in an annuity Payment Form described in Section 5.6(a)(1) or (2) may, at any time prior to the Payment Date for such NonGrandfathered Benefit, elect to have his NonGrandfathered Benefit paid in another annuity Payment Form described in Section 5.6(a)(1) or (2) that is the actuarial equivalent of the original annuity elected by the Participant. For this purpose, actuarial equivalence shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.6(b). Except as permitted by Section 7, a Participant who elects to have his NonGrandfathered Benefit paid in the form of a Ten-Year Certain and Life Option. Lump-Sum Option or DCP Option shall not be permitted to change the Payment Form so elected.
(j) Valid Notional Rollovers to the New DCP. An Employee who first becomes a Participant and accrues a Plan Benefit prior to January 1, 2009 shall be permitted to elect the DCP Option for some or all of the amount otherwise payable under the Plan, provided that in the event that such Participant elects the DCP Option for only a portion of his NonGrandfathered Benefit, he shall receive the remaining portion of his NonGrandfathered Benefit in the Lump Sum Option. The effective date of the Valid Notional Rollover made in connection with the DCP Option will be the first day of the month following the Participant’s Separation from Service, even if the portion of the Participant’s NonGrandfathered Benefit subject to the Valid Notional Rollover would otherwise have been paid to the Participant at a later date. Any such Valid Notional Rollover shall be subject to the terms of the New DCP. If a Participant who has elected the DCP Option is not Retirement Eligible at the time of his Separation from Service, then (i) the election of the DCP Option shall be void and of no force and effect and (ii) the Participant’s NonGrandfathered Benefit shall be paid on the Default Payment Date and in the Default Payment Form.
5.4 Payment of De Minimis Grandfathered Amounts
See Section 7.2(b) of Part A of the Plan.

1. | For purposes of calculating the amount of the death benefit under Section 6.3 or 6.4, as applicable, the Participant shall be deemed to have been survived by a surviving Spouse of the opposite gender with a date of birth that is the same as the date of birth of the Participant. |

6.7 Rules of Application
The provisions of this Section 6 shall be applied separately with respect to a Participant’s Grandfathered Benefit and NonGrandfathered Benefit.

In that case, the death benefit payable under Section 6.3 or Section 6.4 (as applicable) with respect to a Participant’s NonGrandfathered Benefit shall be paid in a single lump sum. The amount of such lump sum payment shall equal the present value of the benefit otherwise payable to the surviving Spouse in an immediate annuity.

(a) The amount of the enhanced active death benefit shall equal the lump sum value of the Plan benefit that would have been payable to the Participant as an immediate single life annuity, commencing on the first day of the month coincident with or next following the Participant’s date of death (assuming he had survived). This lump sum value determination shall be based on the Participant’s age and the actuarial assumptions for calculating lump sum payments under the Retirement Plan as of the first day of the month coincident with or next following the Participant’s date of death.
(i) The enhanced active death benefit for a married Participant shall consist of a grandfathered (“GF”) portion and a nongrandfathered (“NGF”) portion, as follows:

(II) The NGF portion for a married Participant shall equal the excess of the total enhanced active death benefit determined in (a), over the GF portion determined in the immediately preceding paragraph (I).

The GF portion shall be paid as an annuity. The following shall apply with respect to the NGF portion:

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION

1.1 History
The A. L. Pharma Inc. Supplemental Pension Plan (the “Plan”) is maintained by Alpharma Inc. (the “Company”). The Plan was originally established by A. L. Pharma Inc. effective as of July 1, 1994 and was amended and restated effective January 1, 2005 and January 1, 2008.
1.2 Purpose
The Company maintains the Alpharma Inc. Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”),which is intended to meet the requirements of a “qualified plan” under the Code and which is currently set forth in Part F of the PCCP. While the Code places limitations on the maximum amount of an employee’s compensation that may be taken into account for determining benefits payable under a qualified plan, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”‘), permits the payment under an “unfunded plan” of the benefits which may not be paid under a qualified plan because of such limitation. The purpose of this Plan is to provide a certain level of additional benefits which may not be provided under the pension plan because of the maximum compensation limitation of the Code. Effective January 1, 2006, participation in, and accruals under, the Plan were frozen.

Pension Plan that are limited by a provision of the Puerto Rico Code) and who were employed on June 30, 1994, shall participate in this Part F of the Plan, subject to the conditions and limitations of the Plan. Any such highly compensated key management employees hired after June 30, 1994 and before January 1, 2006, shall be eligible to participate in the Plan at the discretion of the Committee.
2.2 Amount of Benefits
Subject to Section 2.3 below, with respect to a Participant who becomes entitled to a pension benefit under the Pension Plan, and such benefit has been limited as a result of the maximum compensation limitation imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code (as such maximum compensation limitation is incorporated in the Pension Plan and as it may be changed from time to time), he or she shall be entitled to receive under this Plan the portion of the Participant’s benefit under the Pension Plan which exceeds the benefit payable to the Participant under the Pension Plan after applying the legal maximum compensation limitation; provided, however, that the annual compensation earned by a Participant for this purpose shall not exceed $235,840. Such estimated limitation shall be determined by the Committee (as defined in section 3.1). A Participant’s benefit under this Plan shall be referred to hereinafter as a Participant’s “Supplemental Pension Benefit.” With respect to determining a Participant’s Supplemental Pension Benefit, service after December 31, 2005 and compensation paid after the last payroll period ending in 2005, shall not be taken into account.
