SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN AMENDED AND RESTATED

EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 31, 2004

ARTICLE I

PURPOSE CLAUSE

or more Years of Service shall be entitled to receive his Pre-409A Benefits annually, commencing as of the first day of the month following the date of retirement, a single life annuity (payable in equal monthly installments) equal to the difference between (i) and (ii) below:

(i)      45% of Final Average Compensation
 
(ii)      The amount of the Participant’s accrued benefits (in the form of a straight life annuity) under the Retirement Plan as of the date of retirement.
 

     (b) For a Participant with less than 20 Years of Service, the annual amount of retirement benefit determined in Section 3.1 (a)(i) above shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to his Years of Service and the denominator of which is 20.

     (c) As an alternative to receiving benefits in the form of a single life annuity, the Participant may elect in writing, at least one year prior to retirement, to receive benefits in one of the optional forms as set in Section 3.3. If the Participant elects to receive benefits in one of the optional forms, such benefits shall be adjusted using the same assumptions that are used to calculate optional forms of benefits (other than lump sums) under the Retirement Plan.

- 4 -


     3.2 Early Retirement. After attainment of his/her Early Retirement Date and prior to Normal Retirement Age, a Participant may elect early retirement, in which event he shall be entitled to receive his Pre-409A Benefits as follows: (a) If a Participant has 20 or more Years of Service at termination, a single life annuity determined in accordance with Section 3; 1(a), based on Years of Service at termination. The benefit determined under the formula in Section 3.1(a)(i) is reduced by 5% per year (prorated based on months) by which payments commence prior to the attainment of age 62 and the offset benefit determined under the formula in Section 3.1(a)(ii) is reduced according to Section 5.2(b) under the Retirement Plan. If payments commence on or after the attainment of age 62, the benefit under the formula in Section 3.1 (a)(i) is unreduced.

     (b) If a Participant has less than 20 Years of Service at termination, a single life annuity determined in accordance with Section 3.1(b), based on Years of Service at termination and reduced by 1/15 for each of the first five (5) years and 1/30 for each of the next five (5) years (prorated based on months) by which payments commence prior to Normal Retirement Age.

     (c) A Participant who terminates employment prior to the Early Retirement Date but is vested in his/her accrued benefits under the Retirement Plan shall be entitled to receive his/her Pre-409A Benefits in accordance with Sections 3.1 or 3.2. This sub-paragraph (c) is intended to be a clarification of the rights of a terminated vested Participant and does not enhance a benefit or right and does not add a new benefit or right.

3.3 Forms of Benefit. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1 and 3.2, a Participant

may elect to receive his benefits in one of the following Actuarially Equivalent forms:

- 5 -


     (a) a life annuity in level monthly payments, with either 60,120 or 180 months certain. Such payments shall be made to the Participant for life and shall continue to be paid to the designated beneficiary of the Participant for the period after the Participant’s death and before expiration of the months certain.

     (b) a joint and survivor annuity continuing for life in level monthly payments to the Participant and thereafter for life in level monthly payments to his designated beneficiary, at either 50% or 100% (as stated in the election) of the payments to the Participant.

     3.4 Death. In the event of the death of a married Participant prior to the commencement of benefits under the Retirement Plan, and if the Participant was married to his spouse throughout the one-year period preceding the date of his death, his surviving spouse shall be entitled to receive benefits from this Plan equal to the survivor portion of a joint and 50% survivor annuity that would be payable to the Participant under the Plan had the Participant retired and elected an immediate joint and 50% survivor annuity on the day before his death, offset by the Actuarially Equivalent value of the survivor’s benefits actually payable to his surviving spouse under the Retirement Plan.

     3.5 Prior Service Credit. For purposes of determining benefits under this Plan, James M. Papada, III and Grace Greco shall be entitled to 15 Years of Service and 15 Years of Vesting Service of prior service credit, effective as of June 30, 1999.

     3.6 Cashouts. The Administrator may in its descretion require a Participant or a Beneficiary of a deceased Participant to receive a mandatory lump sum distribution of benefits if the present value of the Participant’s benefits (including benefits accrued and vested after December 31, 2004) under the Plan do not exceed the applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code, provided that the payment results in the termination and liquidation of

- 6 -


the Participant’s interest under the Plan (and under all arrangements that are treated with this Plan as a single non-qualified deferred compensation plan under Section 1.409A-1(c)(2) of the regulations). The present value of a lump sum payment shall be calculated as of the Participant’s payment date, assuming commencement at the Participant’s earliest possible commencement date, in accordance with the interest and mortality assumptions described in Appendix A.

ARTICLE V

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

     5.1 Technitrol, Inc. may amend the Plan in any manner and at any time by action of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that no amendment shall deprive any Participant or his surviving spouse of any benefit accrued hereunder as of the date of adoption of such amendment as determined under Section 5.3, below.

     5.2 Technitrol, Inc. reserves the right to terminate this Plan at any time, in which case the benefits payable to any Participant shall be limited to those accrued hereunder as of the effective date of termination, as determined under Section 5.3, below.

     5.3 For purposes of Section 5.1 and 5.2, above, the benefit accrued by a Participant as of the date of adoption of an amendment to the Plan or the effective date of termination of the Plan shall be computed under Sections 3.1 or 3.2, whichever is applicable, as if the Participant has terminated employment on such date.

ARTICLE VI

CHANGE IN CONTROL

     6.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, in the event there is a “change in control” of Technitrol, Inc., each Participant who is employed by the Company immediately prior to the change in control shall be entitled to receive benefits under this Plan (whether or not they are so employed by the Company or any successor to it after the change in control) equal to the excess of (i) the benefits that the Participant would have accrued under the

- 9 -


Plan if his or her total Years of Service credited under the Plan included an additional five years (and, in the case of James M. Papada, III and Grace Greco, included, in addition to such additional five years, such additional years of credited service as provided in Section 3.5), as of the date of change in control over (ii) the vested benefits that the Participant has actually accrued under the Retirement Plan as of the date of change in control.

     6.2 In the event of a change in control, a Participant shall be treated as fully vested in his right to receive benefits under this Plan regardless of whether the Participant is fully vested in his accrued benefits under the Retirement Plan or whether the Participant terminates employment on or after the change in control.

     6.3 In the event of a change in control, a Participant shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment of the present value of the benefits that he has accrued under the Plan (calculated taking into account the provisions of Section 6.1 above) within ten days of the date on which the change in control occurs. The present value of the lump sum payment shall be determined by using the RP-2000 Mortality Table for Males and an interest rate (rounded to the nearest 2/10 of 1 percent) equal to 120 percent of the applicable Federal mid-term rate in effect under Section 1274(d)(1) of the Code, for the calendar month preceding the month in which the change in control occurs.

     6.4 In addition to the lump sum payment described in Section 6.3, above, a Participant shall be entitled to receive an additional payment, within ten days following the change in control, of an amount that is sufficient to reimburse the Participant for any federal, state or local taxes (including, but not limited to, excise tax penalties) as a result of the payment of such lump sum and as a result of the additional payment to him pursuant to this Section 6.4, regardless of whether such payments, or any portion of them, are considered “excess parachute

- 10 -


payments” under Section 280G of the Code. Such additional payment shall be calculated by assuming the Participant is subject to the highest marginal federal, state and local tax rates then in effect.

     6.5 In the event a Participant receives a lump sum payment of benefits pursuant to this Article VI, but continues employment with the Company subsequent to the change in control, the Participant shall be eligible to continue to accrue benefits under this Plan but shall not be entitled to receive a duplication of benefits previously paid to him pursuant to this Article. The Company has the sole authority and discretion to determine the factors used to make the adjustment under this Section 6.5 and to determine the accruals already paid.

     6.6 For purposes of this Article, the term “change in control” means the occurrence of either of the following events: (a) any “Person” or “Persons” as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13(d)-3 of the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Technitrol, Inc. representing more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the combined voting power of Technitrol, Inc.’s then outstanding securities or (b) more than fifty percent (50%) of the assets of Technitrol, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which are used to generate more than 50% of the earnings of Technitrol, ‘ Inc. and its subsidiaries in any one of the last three fiscal years, are disposed of, directly or indirectly, by Technitrol, Inc. (including stock or assets of a subsidiary(ies)) in a sale, exchange, merger, reorganization or similar transaction.

trust or escrow or any other form of asset segregation for the Participant or the Participant’s

surviving spouse, the Participant’s only interest being the right to receive benefits set forth herein.
