Exhibit 10(r)(i)
CBS SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE
RETIREMENT PLAN
PART B – AMENDMENT AND
RESTATEMENT AS OF JANUARY 1, 2009
1.
Purpose . The purpose of this Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan (“the Plan”) (combining the
former CBS Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, SERP #2 and CBS
Excess Benefit Plan ) is to provide to certain key employees of CBS
Corporation (“CBS”) a benefit supplemental to those
retirement or termination benefits which they are entitled to
receive under the CBS Pension Plan Document component of the CBS
Combined Pension Plan (the “CBS Pension Plan”) or the
Cash Balance Plan Document component of the CBS Combined Pension
Plan (the “CBS Cash Balance Plan”) and to benefit CBS
by making it more attractive to such employees to remain with
CBS. The Plan was previously amended and restated effective
April 1, 1999.
2.
2009 Amendment and Restatement
and Grandfathered Status of Benefits Accrued Prior to
January 1, 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. Part A of
the Plan, consisting of the original Plan and the amendments made
prior to October 3, 2004, applies to a Participant’s
benefit or any portion thereof that is considered to have been
Deferred under the Plan prior to January 1, 2005 (the
“Section 409A Grandfathered Benefit”), in
accordance with the terms of those documents in effect from time to
time prior to October 3, 2004. The Section 409A
Grandfathered Benefit shall continue to be governed by the law
applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation prior to the
codification of Code Section 409A. The provisions of
this Part B shall apply to any portion of a
Participant’s benefit that is considered to have been
Deferred on or after January 1, 2005. This Part B
of the Plan is intended to meet all of the requirements of Code
Section 409A, so that Participants will be eligible to defer
the receipt of, and the liability for the federal income tax with
respect to, certain items of compensation from one year to a later
year in accordance with the provisions of applicable law and the
provisions of the Plan. With respect to the period commencing
January 1, 2005 and ending December 31, 2008 and with
respect to the portion of a Participant’s benefit that is
considered to have been Deferred during the 2005, 2006, 2007 or
2008 calendar year, the Plan was administered in accordance with a
reasonable, good faith interpretation of Code Section 409A,
Treasury Regulations, Notices and other guidance issued thereunder,
and such interpretation shall govern the rights of a Participant
with respect to that period of time.

Eligibility
. The persons eligible to
participate in the Plan (“Participants”) are those
employees of CBS and its subsidiaries who are designated by the
Committee, and whose benefit under the Qualified Plan is limited by
reason of the limitation on benefits or compensation which may be
taken into account under Code Section 415, or under Code
Section 401(a)(l7), or under any successor
provisions.
Effective April l, 1999,
notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no
person who is hired or rehired after March 31, 1999 shall
thereafter participate in or accrue any benefit under the
Plan.
5.
Computation of Benefit
.
A.
The benefit payable to a Participant under the Plan (the
“Plan Benefit”) shall be equal to the excess, if any,
of (A) the Participant’s benefit under the Qualified
Plan determined by disregarding the benefit or compensation
limitation otherwise imposed by Code Sections 415 and 401(a)(17),
or any successor provisions (determined as of the Benefit
Commencement Date of the Post-2004 Plan Benefit, regardless of the
actual commencement date of said benefit), over (B) the
Participant’s benefit payable under the Qualified Plan
(determined as of the Benefit Commencement Date of the Post-2004
Plan Benefit, regardless of the actual commencement date of said
benefit), taking into account such benefit or compensation
limitations, and for Participants of the CBS Pension Plan only,
disregarding such Participant’s status as a Highly
Compensated Employee during any calendar year after
December 31, 2000. The Plan Benefit shall be
computed in accordance with the foregoing using the normal form of
payment under the Qualified Plan with the objective that a
Participant should receive under the Qualified Plan and this Plan
the total amount which would otherwise have been payable to such
Participant solely from the Qualified Plan had the referenced Code
Sections and Highly Compensated Employee status, as applicable, not
limited his benefit payments from the Qualified Plan.
- 4 -
B.
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 5.B, the Participant’s total Plan Benefit shall
be determined as provided in Section 5.A 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).
(ii)
