The Plan set forth in this document is known as
the Supplemental Retirement Plan I for Select Senior Management of
CVS Caremark Corporation (the “Plan”). The Plan is
amended and restated as of December 31, 2008 to comply with
the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
and any regulations promulgated thereunder. Except as otherwise
provided herein, the provisions contained herein are applicable to
Members who commence payment of benefits on or after
January 1, 2009.
The benefits accrued and vested
under the provisions of the Plan by a Member who terminated
employment with the CVS Caremark Corporation and all its Affiliates
prior to January 1, 2005 shall be subject to the provisions of
the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004. In addition, with
respect to a Member who was employed by CVS Caremark Corporation or
one of its Affiliates on or after January 1, 2005, the portion
of his benefit payable under the provisions of this Plan equal to
his Grandfathered Annual Benefit (as defined herein) shall be
subject to the provisions of the Plan as in effect on
October 3, 2004 without regard to any amendments after
October 3, 2004 which would constitute a material modification
for Code Section 409A purposes. The Plan has been administered
in good faith compliance with Section 409A and the guidance
issued thereunder from January 1, 2005 through
December 31, 2008.
All benefits payable under this
Plan, which is intended to constitute both an unfunded excess
benefit plan under Section 3(36) of Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”), and a nonqualified, unfunded deferred
compensation plan for a select group of management employees under
Title I of ERISA, shall be paid out of the general assets of the
Corporation. The Corporation may establish and fund a trust in
order to aid it in providing benefits due under the
Plan.

provided in Section 3.06 or 3.09 or an Appendix attached
hereto, benefits under the Plan shall be payable only with respect
to Members who are Retirees or become Retirees or, as provided in
Section 3.03, 3.04 or 3.06 to Beneficiaries.
|
|
3.02
|
Except as
provided in Section 3.06, Section 3.10 or an Appendix
attached hereto, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.05
and Section 3.07, a Retiree shall be entitled to commencement
of payment of benefits hereunder pursuant to Section 3.04 upon
the first day of the month coincident with or next following the
later of (i) his Termination of Employment or (ii) his
attainment of age 55. Notwithstanding any Plan provision to the
contrary a Member may not elect to defer payment of benefits
hereunder.

In the event that a Class A
Member dies after the earlier of attaining age 55 or completing
five years of Service, or Class D Member dies after the attaining
age 55 and completing ten years of Service, in either case prior to
becoming a Retiree, or dies after becoming a Retiree but prior to
commencing to receive payments hereunder pursuant to
Section 3.04, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to the
immediate commencement of a single life annuity, with an annual
payment equal to one-half of the Annual Benefit, if any, computed
under Section 1.02 for such Class A Member and computed
under Appendix D, Section 1.01 for such Class D Member, as if
the Member was a Retiree and had commenced to receive payment of
benefits under Section 3.04 immediately prior to his death.
Payments under this Section 3.03 shall commence in the month
following the month in which the Member’s date of death
occurs. In the event the age difference between the Class A
Member or Class D Member and his Beneficiary is greater than five
years, the benefit payable pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall
be actuarially adjusted to reflect the differences in the life
expectancy of the Participant and the Beneficiary. Notwithstanding
any Plan provisions to the contrary (i) in the event a Member
has made an election under Section 3.04 to receive his
Grandfathered Annual Benefit in the form of a lump sum, or
(ii) in the event the Member did not make an election under
Section 3.04 and such Member’s Beneficiary is his
estate, the benefit otherwise payable under this
Section 3.03
|
Page 8

attributable to his Grandfathered
Annual Benefit, shall be commuted into a single lump sum amount of
actuarial equivalent value, which amount shall be determined by

at the Member’s date of death. The amount of such actuarial
equivalent value computed under this Section 3.03 shall be
determined by the MPD Committee using the actuarial assumptions
described below In computing such actuarial equivalence, the
actuarial assumptions to be used shall be (A) the 1983 Group
Annuity Mortality Table and (B) an interest rate assumption
equal to the applicable interest rate (expressed as a percentage)
used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for valuing lump
sum benefits for single employer plans that terminate on the date
of such calculation, minus 0.5%.
|
|
3.04
|
(a) Except as
provided in Section 3.06 or 3.09 or an Appendix attached
hereto and subject to the provisions below, the benefit payable
under the Plan to a Class A Retiree or a Class D Retiree shall
be a single life annuity for the life of the Retiree, with annual
payments equal to his Annual Benefit computed under
Section 1.02 for such Class A Retiree, or Appendix D,
Section 1.01 for such Class D Retiree, at the time of the
commencement of payment of benefits under this
Section 3.04.

effective on the close of the 12 month period after the date on
which the election is made, or January 1, 2009, if earlier,
