previously accrued by Transferred Participants under the Sara Lee
SERP shall be provided under the Plan, and Transferred Participants
shall accrue no additional benefits under the Sara Lee
SERP.
The Plan shall
constitute a top hat plan within the meaning of Section 201(2)
of ERISA. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary, the Plan is subject to the provisions of
Section 409A of the Code and at all times shall be interpreted
and administered so that it is consistent with such Code section;
provided, however, that the vested benefits of each Transferred
Participant who terminated employment with Sara Lee Corporation and
all of its Controlled Group Members prior to January 1, 2005
shall be determined in accordance with Subsection 1.6 (and shall
not be subject to Code Section 409A), except as otherwise

defined in Section 3(16)(A) of ERISA) of the Plan; provided,
however, that the Committee may delegate all or any part of its
powers, rights, and duties under the Plan to such person or persons
as it may deem advisable.
The provisions of
the Plan may be modified by supplements to the Plan. The terms and
