Establishment and Restatement of the Plan

        1.1     Restatement of the Plan     

        Carlisle Corporation previously established an excess benefit plan for certain of its eligible Employees known as the "Supplemental Pension Plan for Employees of Carlisle Corporation" (the "Plan"), which Plan was effective as of February 9, 1988. The Plan is hereby amended and restated in this instrument effective as of January 1, 1997 and shall be known as the "Carlisle Corporation Supplemental Pension Plan."

To this extent the Plan is intended to provide solely for benefits for certain employees in excess of the limitations imposed by section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code"), within the meaning of section 3(36) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (the "Act").

            (b)   Effective as of January 1, 1994, to provide to the Employee or his survivor(s) eligible to receive payments under the Retirement Plan that portion of such person's benefit that is not payable under the Retirement Plan due to the compensation limitation under Code section 401(a)(17) or the nondiscrimination rules under Code section 401(a)(4).

            (c)   Effective as of February 1, 1994, to provide to the Employee or his survivor(s) a supplemental retirement benefit to those persons listed in and for the amounts specified in Appendix A attached to and made a part of the Plan. To the extent benefits are payable under this subsection and under subsection (b) above, the Plan is intended to provide unfunded deferred compensation benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of section 201(2) of the Act.

        1.3     Application of the Plan     

        The terms of this Plan are applicable only to eligible Employees who are in the active employ of the Employer on or after January 1, 1997.
