AMENDMENT NO. 3
TO THE
SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN
FOR EMPLOYEES OF
WEBSTER BANK

The Supplemental Retirement Plan for Employees of Webster Bank, as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2003, is hereby amended as follows:

(1) Effective as of January 1, 2007, the first paragraph of the “General” section of the Plan is deleted and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

This is a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan (the “Supplemental Plan”) for certain employees of Webster Bank, National Association (the “Bank”) and its affiliates who are also participants in the Webster Bank Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) or the Webster Bank Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”).

(2) Effective as of January 1, 2007, two new paragraphs are added at the end of the “General” section of the Plan to read as follows:

Effective as of January 1, 2007, benefit accruals under the Pension Plan will cease for all employees who are first hired or are rehired on or after January 1, 2007. Effective as of January 1, 2008, benefit accruals under the Pension Plan will cease for all other employees. Therefore: (a) all employees who are first hired on or after January 1, 2007 will receive no supplemental retirement income under the Plan; (b) all employees who are rehired on or after January 1, 2007 will receive no additional accrual of supplemental retirement income on or after January 1, 2007, and the amount of their supplemental retirement income will not exceed the amount of their supplemental retirement income determined as of the date of their prior termination of employment; and (c) all other employees will accrue no additional supplemental retirement income on or after January 1, 2008, and the amount of their supplemental retirement income will not exceed the amount of their supplemental retirement income determined as of the close of business on December 31, 2007.

In addition: (a) effective as of January 1, 2007, all employees who are first hired on or after January 1, 2007 will be eligible to receive both matching contributions and nonelective contributions under the 401(k) Plan; (b) effective as of April 1, 2007, all employees who are rehired on or after January 1, 2007 will be eligible to receive both matching contributions and nonelective contributions under the 401(k) Plan; and (c) effective as of January 1, 2008, all other employees will be eligible to receive (i) both matching contributions and nonelective contributions under the 401(k) Plan, and (ii) if the employees are employed on December 31, 2006 and are active participants in the Pension Plan on December 31, 2007, transition contributions under the 401(k) Plan. Therefore, under the Plan, the supplemental matching contributions of each eligible employee will be determined by reference to the matching contribution formula, nonelective contribution formula, and transition contribution formula applicable to the employee under the 401(k) Plan.

(3) Effective as of January 1, 2007, Article I of the Plan is amended by deleting Section 9 and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

Section 9. “401(k) Plan” means the Webster Bank Retirement Savings Plan and any subsequent amendments thereto. For the period prior to January 1, 2007, 401(k) Plan meant the Webster Bank Employee Investment Plan.

(4) Effective as of January 1, 2007, a new Section 2(h) is added to Article II of the Plan to read as follows:

(h) Effective as of January 1, 2007, benefit accruals under the Pension Plan will cease for all Employees who are first hired or are rehired on or after January 1, 2007. Effective as of January 1, 2008, benefit accruals under the Pension Plan will cease for all other Employees (including but not limited to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and the President of the Bank who were in office on January 1, 2004). Therefore, notwithstanding anything else in this Article II to the contrary:

(i) all Employees who are first hired on or after January 1, 2007 will receive no Supplemental Retirement Income under the Plan;

(ii) all Employees who are rehired on or after January 1, 2007 will receive no additional accrual of Supplemental Retirement Income on or after January 1, 2007, and the amount of their Supplemental Retirement Income will not exceed the amount of their Supplemental Retirement Income determined as of the date of their prior termination of employment; and

(iii) all other Employees (including but not limited to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and the President of the Bank who were in office on January 1, 2004) will accrue no additional Supplemental Retirement Income on or after January 1, 2008, and the amount of their Supplemental Retirement Income will not exceed the amount of their Supplemental Retirement Income determined as of the close of business on December 31, 2007.

(5) Effective as of January 1, 2007, Section 2(a) of Article III of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

(a) As of the last day of each calendar year, the amount of an eligible Employee’s Supplemental Matching Contributions will be determined. The amount of such Supplemental Matching Contributions for a calendar year will equal the sum of the following:

(i) the excess, if any, of: (A) the Employee’s adjusted matching contributions, as determined under Section 2(b) of Article III, for such calendar year; over (B) the maximum amount of matching contributions which would have been allocated for the benefit of the Employee under the 401(k) Plan for such calendar year if he or she had actually made the maximum elective deferrals permitted by the terms of the 401(k) Plan (determined in accordance with the limitations set forth in the 401(k) Plan and in Code Sections 401(k), 401(m), 402(g), 415 and 401(a)(17));

(ii) if the eligible Employee is entitled to receive nonelective contributions under the 401(k) Plan, the excess, if any, of: (A) the Employee’s adjusted nonelective contributions, as determined under Section 2(b) of Article III, for such calendar year; over (B) the actual nonelective contributions received by the Employee during the calendar year (determined in accordance with the limitations set forth in the 401(k) Plan and in Code Section 415 and 401(a)(17));

(iii) if the eligible Employee is entitled to receive transition contributions under the 401(k) Plan, the excess, if any, of: (A) the Employee’s adjusted transition contributions, as determined under Section 2(b) of Article III, for such calendar year; over (B) the actual transition contributions received by the Employee during the calendar year (determined in accordance with the limitations set forth in the 401(k) Plan and in Code Section 415 and 401(a)(17)); and
