Exhibit 10.2 RELIANCE STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY
NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
AS AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2009
Preamble Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company
(the "Company") hereby adopts the Nonqualified Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), as amended and restated effective
January 1, 2009. The purpose of the Plan, which will supersede
all prior versions of the Plan, is to provide a select group of
highly-compensated employees of the Company and its participating
Affiliated Companies with the opportunity to defer compensation.
The select group of highly-compensated employees who will be
eligible for the Plan and are currently eligible to participate in
the Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company Retirement Savings
Plan (the "Retirement Savings Plan") have a limit imposed on the
amount of contributions they can make to the Retirement Savings
Plan. The Plan will allow these highly-compensated employees to
participate in this Plan. For those employees who are eligible to
participate in the Retirement Savings Plan, the Plan will allow
them to be credited with the same level of Company matching
contributions they would have received had certain restrictions not
been imposed on contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan.

Section 1 — Eligibility An employee of

Code Section 414(q) and the regulations thereunder and in
accordance with any "top-paid" group election made by the Company
for such calendar year under qualified plans sponsored by the
Company. Section 2 — Nonqualified Deferred Annual
Compensation Elections Each Eligible Employee shall be
eligible to defer from 1% to 10% of his/her Annual Compensation
which would otherwise be payable to him/her for services to be
rendered in the following calendar year. Such employee must elect
to defer prior to the beginning of the calendar year of such
deferral, except as otherwise provided below for a "newly eligible"
employee. In the case of the first calendar year in which an
employee becomes eligible to participate, such "newly eligible"
employee must make such deferral election within 30 days after
his/her initial January 1 eligibility date, with respect to Annual
Compensation paid for services performed after the election. In the
event an employee

has ceased being eligible to participate (other than the accrual
of earnings) for a period of at least 24 months, and
subsequently becomes eligible to participate in the Plan again, the
employee shall be considered a "newly eligible" employee and such
employee’s original deferral election as to time and form of
payment shall be reinstated. Each NQDC Plan Participant shall file
with the Company, at the time of his/her initial deferral election,
an irrevocable election regarding the percentage of compensation to
be deferred under the Plan, the timing of distributions and the
form of distribution for all amounts in his/her Account under the
Plan. Deferral elections with respect to the percentage of
compensation to be deferred under the Plan shall remain in effect
until a NQDC Plan Participant elects otherwise in accordance with
this Section 2. Deferral elections with respect to the timing
of distribution and the form of distribution shall remain in effect
for all subsequent deferral elections. Each NQDC Plan Participant
shall be provided with the opportunity the make a special election
one-time election as to the time and form of payment of the

transition relief rules provided under Section 409A of the
Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Such election must
be made by December 31, 2008 and must be made in accordance
with the procedure set forth by the Company. Such election shall
only apply to amounts that would not otherwise be payable in the
2008 calendar year and shall not cause an amount to be paid in the
2008 calendar year that would not otherwise be payable in the 2008
calendar year. Section 3 — Plan Matching
Amounts In the event that a Retirement Savings Plan
Participant has elected Nonqualified Deferred Annual Compensation
with respect to a calendar year, the Company shall determine a Plan
Matching Amount under this Plan for such employee. The Plan
Matching Amount shall be equal to the Retirement Savings Plan
Matching Contribution that would have been credited for such year
to the NQDC Plan Participant had the NQDC Plan Participant also

Savings Plan Matching Contribution credited to such Retirement
Savings Plan Participant for such year. For this purpose the annual
compensation limit under Code Section 401(a)(17) does not
