PEOPLE’S UNITED BANK NONQUALIFIED SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN

PEOPLE’S UNITED BANK NONQUALIFIED SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN

January 1, 2008

People’s United Bank, a federally chartered savings bank (the “Bank”), hereby amends and restates the People’s United Bank Supplemental Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of January 1, 2008 except as otherwise provided herein. Effective as of October 1, 2008, the Plan shall be known as the People’s United Bank Nonqualified Savings and Retirement Plan.

ARTICLE I

PRELIMINARY BACKGROUND

The Plan was initially established and maintained for many years to enable designated employees of the Bank (formerly known as People’s Bank) who were adversely impacted by Code restrictions applicable to tax-qualified plans and corresponding provisions of the 401(k) Plan to elect to obtain additional benefits equal to those not available under the 401(k) Plan because of such restrictions. The Plan is not qualified under the provisions of the Code and benefits are provided on an unfunded basis for purposes of the Code. Plan benefits accruing as a result of compensation earned prior to January 1, 2005, were calculated on the basis of deferral elections made under the 401(k) Plan. As a result of the enactment of Section 409A of the Code, separate Plan deferral elections were required to be made by Participants with respect to compensation earned after December 31, 2004, and the method for distribution of Plan benefits was revised. Effective as of August 14, 2006, the Bank added new employer contribution credit provisions with respect to certain eligible Plan Participants. Finally, the Bank has elected to revise the method by which earnings credits are made to Participants’ Accounts under the Plan.

The Bank shall maintain for each Participant who is such on or after January 1, 2005 and prior to December 1, 2008 a Current Plan Account to which all such Participant’s (i) Participant Contributions made on or after January 1, 2005 and prior to December 1, 2008, (ii) Bank matching contributions (as provided for in Section 4.5) made on or after January 1, 2005 and prior to December 1, 2008, (iii) Restoration Benefit Contributions made on or after January 1, 2008 and prior to December 1, 2008 and (iv) Enhanced Benefit Contributions made on or after January 1, 2008 and prior to December 1, 2008, and all investment results from the applicable dates allocable thereto in accordance with the provisions of Article VI shall be credited.

5.3.Time of Crediting Contributions. After December 31, 2004 and prior to December 1, 2008, all Participant Contributions shall be withheld from such Participant’s pay for each payroll date and shall be credited to such Participant’s Current Plan Account as of or as soon as practicable after such date. On and after December 1, 2008, all Participant Contributions shall instead be allocated to such Participant’s Deferral Account. All Bank matching contributions (as provided for in Section 4.5) allocable after January 1, 2005 and prior to December 1, 2008 shall be allocated to the Participant’s Current Plan Account as of the date provided for in accordance with the terms and administrative procedures of this Plan in effect from time to time during such period.

Restoration Benefit Contributions and Enhanced Benefit Contributions shall be credited as of the date determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4.6 and 4.7, respectively.

ARTICLE VI

HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT

6.1.Adjustments Prior to the Interest Credit Date to Pre-June 1, 2008 Accounts. Except as provided by Section 6.2, to the extent practicable under procedures available to the Bank, all amounts credited to an Account of a Participant who became such on or before June 1, 2008, shall be increased or decreased prior to the Interest Credit Date in accordance with such Participant’s investment election under the 401(k) Plan to reflect the value such amount would have if actually so invested as such elections change from time to time prior to June 1, 2008, but not as changed on or after such date. In the event such Participant has different elections under the 401(k) Plan with respect to a balance accumulated as of a certain time on the one hand and contributions received thereafter on the other, to the extent practicable under procedures available to the Bank, such Participant’s Account shall be deemed to be invested (a) with respect to the balance as of the date of the accumulation described in this sentence in accordance with the investment instructions for such accumulated balance and (b) with respect to amounts credited to his Account after such date in accordance with the investment instructions for such contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Participant has any loan balances outstanding with respect to his account under the 401(k) Plan, the amount of such loans shall not be taken into account in determining the proportions in which his Account is deemed to be invested.

6.2.Investment Selections for Accounts on and After June 1, 2008 and Prior to the Interest Credit Date.

(a) All amounts credited to any Account of a Participant who first becomes such on and after June 1, 2008, and all amounts credited to any Account of a Participant who became such before June 1, 2008 and who chooses to make an investment election pursuant to this subsection (a) prior to the Interest Credit Date shall in accordance with procedures made available to him by the Bank be increased or decreased in accordance with such Participant’s investment election under this Plan to reflect the value such amount would have if actually invested in accordance with such election. Such Participant’s election under the Plan shall be limited to investment selections available to Participants under the 401(k) Plan at the time of such election. Such Participants shall be able to make separate elections with respect to accumulated Account balances and amounts to be credited to such Accounts after such election. To the extent any portion (including all) of the Account of any Participant who becomes such on or after June 1, 2008 and prior to the Interest Credit Date, is not the subject of an investment election, such portion of such Account shall be increased or decreased as if it were actually invested in the T. Rowe Price Retirement Fund available under the Plan that under procedures established by the Plan’s third party administrator most closely matches the date on which the Participant is projected to attain his Normal Retirement Date or where provided under such procedures, to the T. Rowe Price Retirement Income Fund. Investment selections in effect for Account balances and amounts to be credited in the future to such Accounts as of June 1, 2008 or any time thereafter and

prior to the Interest Credit Date shall remain in effect until such Participant expressly otherwise directs and regardless of any change in investment directions such Participant makes with respect to his 401(k) accounts.

(b) On and after June 1, 2008 and prior to the Interest Credit Date, all amounts credited to an Account of a Participant who became such before June 1, 2008, shall be increased or decreased in accordance with such Participant’s investment election under the 401(k) Plan as of May 31, 2008 or as otherwise provided pursuant to the provisions of the Plan as of May 31, 2008, to reflect the value such amount would have if actually invested in accordance with that election except to the extent such Participant elects different hypothetical investments in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section. No change in investment directions under the 401(k) Plan becoming effective on or after June 1, 2008, shall have any effect on adjustments to a Participant’s Account under this Plan.

6.3.Adjustments on or After the Interest Credit Date.

(a) All Accounts of any Participant who becomes such on or after the Interest Credit Date, and that portion of a Participant’s Account which is attributable to contributions made by on or on behalf of a Participant on or after the Interest Credit Date, shall not be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1 or 6.2, but instead shall be credited with Plan Interest monthly.

(b) Accounts of all Participants who are such as of the Interest Credit Date shall continue to be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2 based in all respects upon such Participants’ investment elections and any other applicable provisions of Section 6.2 as in effect on the Interest Credit Date provided that (a) except as provided below in this Section, no Participant shall after the Interest Credit Date have the right to change investment elections and (b) any Participant may at any time in a manner provided by the Bank elect to have all (but not less than all) balances of such Participant’s Account credited with Plan Interest after the date of such election in lieu of any amounts otherwise determinable under Section 6.2. Any such election shall become effective at such time as the Bank shall determine to be administratively convenient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any time after January 1, 2009 any part of a Participant’s Account is deemed to be hypothetically invested in shares of Parent stock, any hypothetical dividend paid with respect to such stock to such Account shall be deemed invested in the Putnam Stable Value Fund or in such other manner as the CEO may determine upon recommendation of the Administrative Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3, any Participant whose Credited Service is terminated prior to December 1, 2008 and who has not made an election pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 6.3 may continue to change hypothetical investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2.

ARTICLE VII

DEATH BENEFITS

7.1.Beneficiaries. In the event the death of a Participant whether during or after termination of his Credited Service, prior to payment of such Participant’s full vested Account balance benefit in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII, the unpaid vested amount shall be paid to such Participant’s Beneficiary designated in a form provided by, and filed with, the Committee. If no such form has been filed, such benefits shall be payable to such Participant’s spouse and if no spouse is then living, to the legal representative of such Participant’s estate. All benefits payable pursuant to this Article VII shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII. In the event a Participant and his spouse or other designated Beneficiary (primary or contingent) die as a result of the same event (whether or not it is possible to determine who was the first to die) and die within thirty (30) days of each other, this Plan shall be administered as if the Participant survived his spouse or such other Beneficiary.

7.2.No Other Death Benefits. Except as provided in this Article VII, no benefits under this Plan shall be payable to a Participant’s Beneficiary after such Participant’s death.

ARTICLE VIII

METHOD OF PAYMENT

8.1.Distribution of Current Plan Account Relating to Participant Contributions and Bank Matching Contributions. The portion of a Participant’s Current Plan Account relating to Participant Contributions and/or Bank matching contributions (as provided for in Section 4.5) shall be distributed to such Participant as follows. The balance of such portion of the Participant’s Current Plan Account shall be determined as of the end of the month preceding his last full month of Credited Service. An amount equal to ten percent of such account balance shall be distributed in twelve equal monthly installments commencing on the first payroll payment date of the 7^th month following such termination and of each of the next 11 months. As of the first payroll date of the twelfth month following such commencement of payments, the portion of the full balance of such Participant’s account (determined as of the most recent available valuation date under the 401(k) Plan preceding such payment date) shall be distributed to such Participant or in the event of her or his death, to her or his Beneficiary.

8.2.Distribution of Current Plan Account Relating to Restoration Benefit Contributions and Enhanced Benefit Contributions. On and after January 1, 2008, the vested portion of a Participant’s Current Plan Account relating to Restoration Benefit Contributions and/or Enhanced Benefit Contributions shall be distributed to such Participant in a single lump sum payment on the first payroll payment date of the 7th month following the Participant’s termination of Credited Service with the Bank.

8.3.Distributions of Grandfathered Accounts to Participants. A Participant’s Grandfathered Account shall be valued and distributed in the same manner as the portion of the Participant’s Current Plan Account relating to Participant Contributions and Bank matching

contributions (as provided for in Section 4.5), except that installment payments shall commence as of the first payroll date of the month next following such Participant’s termination of Credited Service and continue for an additional 11 months. As of the first payroll date of the twelfth month following such commencement of payments, the full balance of such Participant’s account (determined as of the most recent available valuation date under the 401(k) Plan preceding such payment date) shall be distributed to such Participant or in the event of her or his death, to her or his Beneficiary.

8.4.Distribution of Accounts After December 1, 2008. The foregoing provisions of this Article VIII shall not apply to any distributions made to any Participant who terminates his Credited Service at any time on or after December 1, 2008. The total Account balance of any Participant who terminates his Credited Service on or after December 1, 2008 shall be distributed to him in a single lump sum on the first payroll payment date of the seventh month following such termination, provided he is then living, and if he is not then living, such total Account balance shall be distributed to his Beneficiary in a single lump sum on the first payroll payment date following such Participant’s death. Amounts distributable pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be determined as of the close of business of the last business day preceding such payroll payment day of distribution.

ARTICLE IX

TRUST; CHANGE IN CONTROL

9.1.Non-Qualified Trust. The Bank has entered into a Trust Agreement with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company as the Trustee establishing the Trust. The Trust is intended to provide for the funding of the Bank’s obligation to provide benefits under the Plan to the extent provided pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9.2 and 9.3. In the event of Insolvency of the Bank, assets held under the Trust shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Bank under federal and state law as set forth in the Trust Agreement. In the event of such Insolvency, any and all such assets will be available to satisfy the claims of general creditors of the Bank even if all benefits under the Plan have not otherwise been provided for and even if all such benefits of Participants who have terminated their Credited Service have not been fully provided for. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit Participants or Beneficiaries from asserting claims for Plan benefits as general creditors of the Bank. The Bank may cause, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Trust Agreement, Plan benefits to be provided from the assets of the Trust, the general assets of the Bank, or a combination thereof, as the Bank may determine to be in the Bank’s best interests. No person eligible for, or entitled to, Plan benefits hereunder shall have any property, equitable or security rights in any specific assets of the Bank or held as part of the Trust. The Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Bank to make benefit payments in the future. It is intended that this Plan be unfunded for federal income tax purposes and Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The obligation to pay all Plan benefits shall be treated as an item of indebtedness by the Bank to the Participant or Beneficiary, and except as otherwise paid from the Trust, such payments shall be made from the general assets of the Bank. All amounts as may be required to be withheld by any applicable federal, state or local law shall be withheld and remitted as required by any such law and payments made to the Participant or any Beneficiary shall be the net amount after withholding.

9.2.Discretionary Payments to Trust. The Bank, in the sole discretion of the CEO, may at any time, or from time to time, make deposits (in addition to those required pursuant to Section 9.3) of cash or other property acceptable to the Trustee in trust with the Trustee to augment the principal of the Trust, such additions to be held, administered and disposed of by the Trustee as provided in the agreement setting forth the terms of the Trust. Neither the Trustee nor any Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right to compel such additional deposits.

9.3.Mandatory Payments to Trust.

(a) Upon a Potential Change in Control or a Change in Control, the Bank shall, as soon as possible, but in no event longer than thirty (30) days following such Potential Change in Control or Change in Control, make a contribution to the Trust of cash or other property acceptable to the Trustee which when added to the total value of the Trust Fund would equal the Full Funding Amount. In the event of a Potential Change in Control, the Full Funding Amount shall be recalculated in the event such Potential Change in Control Period extends beyond the required valuation date used in the first or other last subsequent computation made as a result of such Potential Change in Control Period. In the event that the Trustee later determines that provision made in determining the Full Funding Amount for expenses was not adequate, the Bank shall make additional deposits to provide for such expenses as determined by the Trustee from time to time.

(b) No more than sixty (60) days after the last day of each fiscal year of the Bank, the Bank shall:

(i) Cause the Recordkeeper to compute the Interim Funding Amount as of such last day and deliver to the Trustee the Recordkeeper’s certification or other written statement satisfactory to the Trustee of such Interim Funding Amount; and

(ii) Pay to the Trustee an amount which when added to the value of the Trust Fund as of such last day would result in a sum equal to or greater than such Interim Funding Amount.

ARTICLE X

NONASSIGNABILITY

10.1.No Assignment. The Plan is designed to provide payment of benefits solely for the support of the Participant and, to the extent of any death benefits, such Participant’s beneficiary. No person eligible for or entitled to a benefit payable hereunder shall have any right, power or authority to anticipate, assign, sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber, whether by voluntary action or by operation of law, the right to receive such benefit payment nor shall such right otherwise be subject to encumbrance, attachment or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary.

ARTICLE XI

ADMINISTRATION

11.1.The Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee may delegate its administrative authority to officers or other employees of the Bank, provided that no such delegate shall determine his own benefits hereunder. The Committee shall have complete and discretionary authority to determine eligibility, the amount of benefits payable under the Plan and to otherwise construe, interpret and apply the provisions of the Plan and its determinations shall be conclusive on the Bank, its employees and any other person claiming any benefit under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article XI, any determination made by the Committee upon or after a Change in Control or during a Potential Change in Control Period shall be binding only if accepted by the Participant or Beneficiary and, to the extent not so accepted, such determination of the Committee shall be of no effect and given no weight and such Participant or Beneficiary shall have his rights determined in accordance with the procedures of any of the provisions of the Trust Agreement, and the Bank shall pay to the Trustee any funds necessary to provide such benefits as so determined.

ARTICLE XII

CLAIMS PROCEDURE

12.1General.

(a) If a Participant, Former Participant or Beneficiary disagrees with the computation of the benefits to which he is entitled under the Plan and wishes to claim benefits or additional benefits, he must file his claim in writing or electronically with the Committee. The Committee may act as the Claims Officer as hereinafter provided or may designate a member of the Committee or one or more other individuals who may (but shall not be required to) be a Participant or other Employee. If no claim is received by the Committee within 60 days after the claimant receives notice of his benefits, no claim will be permitted and the Claims Officer’s determination shall be final.

The claimant may designate any other person, at his own expense, to act on his behalf in pursuing a benefit claim or appealing the denial of a benefit claim. The term “claimant” as used in this claims procedure includes any other person he designates to represent him as well as after his death, his beneficiary.

When a claim for benefits is made under Plan, the Claims Officer is required to notify the claimant within 90 days after the claim is received if the claim for benefits has been denied. In special cases where the Claims Officer needs more time to decide, the Claims Officer may notify the claimant in writing or electronically prior to the end of the initial 90 day period and may take up to 90 additional days.

(b) If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Claims Officer will send to the claimant a written or electronic notice including:

(i) one or more specific reasons for the denial;

(ii) specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

(iii) a description of any additional material or information that would be necessary to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary;

(iv) information regarding what steps should be taken if the claimant wants to submit a request for review; and

(v) a description of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to the procedures including a statement of the claimant’s rights to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following a determination upon completion of claimant’s appeal adverse to claimant’s position.

(c) If the claim for benefits is denied, the claimant may file an appeal in writing or electronically with the Committee.

(i) The written claim for review must be filed within 60 days after the claimant has received the notice described above that the claim was denied. If a written claim for review is not filed within 60 days after the claimant receives the notice that the claim was denied, the claimant is deemed to have accepted the Claims Officer’s decision.

(ii) The claimant may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to claimant’s claim for benefits.

(iii) The claimant will be provided upon request and free of charge reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to claimant’s claim.

(iv) The Committee will take into account all comments, documents, records and other information the claimant submits relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

(d) After receiving a request for review, the Committee will review the claim within 60 days and will give the claimant a written or electronic notice of its decision, which is final. In special cases where the Committee needs more time to decide, the Committee will notify the claimant in writing prior to the end of the initial 60 day period and may take up to 60 additional days. If the Committee denies the claim, the notice will include:

(i) one or more specific reasons for the denial;

(ii) specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

(iii) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive upon request and free of charge reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to claimant’s claim for benefits; and

(iv) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, the terms of Subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 12.1 shall apply until such time as the Committee shall adopt revised claims procedures; provided, however, that the Committee may make any such revisions in such procedures as it deems necessary to assure compliance with the applicable provisions of Section 503 of the Act and the regulations thereunder.

(f) Any person whose claim has been denied in whole or in part must exhaust the administrative review procedures provided in this Section 12.1, including any revisions made in accordance with subsection (d) hereof prior to initiating any claim for judicial review.

(g) Any action taken or omitted by any fiduciary with respect to the Plan, including any decision, interpretation, claim denial or review on appeal, shall be conclusive and binding on all interested parties and shall be subject to judicial modification or reversal only to the extent it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such action or omission was arbitrary and capricious and contrary to the terms of the Plan.

12.2.Change in Control. During a Potential Change in Control Period or upon or after a Change in Control, a Participant or Beneficiary at his election may determine at any time not to follow or to cease following the procedures set forth in this Article XII, and to assert and enforce any claims under the Plan without regard to the provisions of this Article XII, including enforcing any remedies in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII

13.2.Change in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.1, (a) an amendment to Section 9.3(a) hereof, or to the definitions of Change in Control, Potential Change in Control, Potential Change in Control Period or Change in Control Agreement, or eliminating or reducing the rights or authority of the Advisory Committee provided by Article XV hereof may be made only in the event it is approved by a Qualified Vote and (b) an amendment to reduce the funding requirements pursuant to Section 9.3(b) or changing the definition of Interim Funding Amount or Interim Valuation Requirement Date may be made only in the event it is approved by the vote of sixty-five percent (65%) of all Participants who are employed by the Bank after May 1, 1998, and not employed by the Bank at the time of such vote.

13.3.Termination. The Bank reserves the right to terminate the Plan or to cease benefit accruals under the Plan at any time.

ARTICLE XIV

CONSTRUCTION

14.1.Governing Law. The Plan shall be administered in accordance with the laws of Connecticut, to the extent applicable, and not preempted by any other applicable federal law.

14.2.No Contract. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to confer upon any person any legal right to be continued as an employee of the Bank. The Bank expressly reserves the right to discharge any employee whenever the interest of the Bank in its sole judgment may so require without any liability on the part of the Bank. The Bank shall be the Plan Administrator of the Plan.

14.3.FDIC Restrictions. It is intended that the Plan be and remain a bona fide deferred compensation plan for purposes of Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Part 359 of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) regulations, including FDIC Reg § 359.1(d) and the terms of the Plan shall be so construed in the event of any ambiguity.

14.4.Other Contracts. The benefits payable under the Plan shall not be limited by the provisions of any other agreement entered into by the Bank and any Participant prior to January 1, 2009 relating to payments in the event of Change in Control; but benefits under any such other agreement may, if such other agreement so provides, be reduced as a result of benefits payable under the Plan.

14.5.Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Bank and its successors and assigns, and references to the Bank herein shall include its successors and assigns. References to Parent shall include its successors and assigns.

14.7.Code Section 409A. From and after October 4, 2004 this Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed whenever possible in a manner which will result in the Plan being and the Trust being in compliance therewith and which will not subject any Participant to any additional taxes or penalties pursuant to such Section 409A.

14.8.Headings. The headings of Articles and Sections are included solely for convenience of reference. If there is any conflict between such headings and the text of the Plan, the text shall control.

ARTICLE XV

ADVISORY COMMITTEE

15.1.Advisory Committee. During a Potential Change in Control Period or upon or after a Change in Control, a majority of Plan Voters at any time, and from time to time, may appoint an Advisory Committee to monitor and represent the interests of the Plan Voters and the Beneficiary of any deceased Participant with respect to the Plan, and the Trust. The Advisory Committee shall be composed of one to three individuals, some or all of whom may (but none of whom shall be required to) be Plan Voters. The Advisory Committee shall act by majority vote unless it unanimously agrees otherwise and shall otherwise adopt its own procedures which may include authorizing one member thereof to act for the Advisory Committee. Any member of the Advisory Committee may resign by giving written notice to the other members thereof, or, if he is the sole member, to a majority or all of the then Plan Voters. Any member may be removed by action of a majority of Plan Voters, and additional members, including replacement of any resigned, removed or deceased member may be designated by action of a majority of Plan Voters. All actions by any Participant shall be in a writing signed by such Participant. A Participant may sign a single writing effectuating removal and replacement. For purposes of this Article XV, the term “Plan Voters” shall mean each individual who is an employee of the Bank after May 1, 1998 and who is a Participant in this Plan; but excluding (a) after a Change in Control any person who was not a Plan Voter prior to the earlier of such Change in Control or the beginning of the Potential Change in Control Period ending with such Change in Control and (b) during a Potential Change in Control Period any person not a Plan Voter prior to the beginning thereof. For purposes of this Article XV, the term “Plan Voter” shall mean at anytime all individuals who were employed at the Bank after January 1, 2009 and who are Participants exclusive of (i) after a Change in Control any person who was not a Plan Voter prior to the earlier of such Change in Control or the beginning of the Potential Change in Control Period ending with such Change in Control and (ii) during a Potential Change in Control Period any person not a Plan Voter prior to the beginning thereof.

15.2.Purpose and Duties. The purpose of the Advisory Committee shall be to disseminate information concerning the Plan, and the Trust to Plan Voters and Beneficiaries of deceased Plan Voters, to gather information and data concerning, and otherwise investigate, inquiries, controversies, or disputes deemed reasonable by the Advisory Committee and raised by any Participant or any such Beneficiary, to discuss such matters with the CEO of the Bank or members of the Board, or of the Human Resources Committee of the Board, the Actuary or the Trustee, and to take any action authorized under the Trust Agreement with respect to any such inquiries, controversy or dispute which it, in its discretion, deems reasonable to protect the legitimate interest of any Participant or Beneficiary, and monitor and report to Plan Voters and Beneficiaries of deceased Plan Voter with respect to litigation or arbitration proceedings under the

Plan. The Advisory Committee may (but shall not be required to) negotiate on behalf of any Plan Voter or Beneficiary of a deceased Plan Voter; provided, however, that in no event shall the Advisory Committee be deemed authorized to institute any legal or arbitration proceedings hereunder or enter into any agreement purporting to settle or limit the rights of any Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan or in or to the Trust or its assets. Nothing herein shall prohibit a Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant individually or with others (whether or not as a class action) from instituting legal or arbitration proceedings to enforce his own rights under the Plan while the Advisory Committee is negotiating pursuant to the provisions of this Section whether or not such Participant or Beneficiary is a member of the Advisory Committee.

15.3.Rights. Without request or demand, the Advisory Committee shall be entitled to all reports, information, and data to which the Bank is entitled (without request or demand) under the Trust Agreement and any other reports, information, or data received by the Bank from the Trustee or the Actuary. The Bank shall give the following written notices to the Advisory Committee (which the Advisory Committee may waive if deemed in the best interest of Plan Voters): (i) twenty (20) days prior to the payment of any benefits or other sums from the Trust other than Trustee’s fees and expenses in the operations of the Plan, the amount to be so paid, the computation thereof, and the amount of any benefits under the Plan and Trustee’s fees and expenses to be paid from the Bank’s general assets; (ii) no later than five (5) days after making any contribution to the Trust, the amount of such contribution and the Recordkeeper’s certification and detailed computations on the basis of which the determination of such amount was made; (iii) any amendments proposed to be made to the Trust Agreement twenty (20) days prior to the Bank’s requesting from Participants a Qualified Vote or a Super Qualified Vote; (iv) within five (5) days after any substitution of Trust assets by the Bank; (v) at least twenty (20) days before any change in investment policy is made by the Committee or other authorized body under the Trust Agreement; (vi) twenty (20) days after the close of each calendar quarter, a report of all contributions to and payments from, the Trust Fund during such quarter; (vii) five (5) days prior to any change of Recordkeeper, the name and address of the proposed new Recordkeeper and a brief description of its relevant experience and controlling shareholders, and the reasons for such change; (viii) five (5) days prior to any change in the Service Agreement, a full description of, or a copy of such changes; (ix) within five (5) days of any change in any member of the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Bank or of any individual to whom it delegates any authority with respect to the Plan or any change in authority previously so delegated to an individual, the name of any new member of the Committee, the name of any person no longer serving as such a member, the name of any additional person to whom such authority has been granted, the name of any person from whom such authority has been taken and a description of any change in any such authority granted to any person; and (x) within five (5) days of any change in the 401(k) Review Committee, the name of any new person and the name of any person no longer serving as such a member. The Advisory Committee, or a person designated by it, may vote on behalf of any Participant who so authorizes it or a delegate chosen by it to vote on behalf of such Participant pursuant to any provision of the Trust Agreement. Acquiescence or inaction by the Advisory Committee shall not be deemed to be approval or consent and in any event shall in no way bind or limit the rights of Participants or Beneficiaries of deceased Participants.

ARTICLE XVI

CREDITED SERVICE AND ADOPTION BY AFFILIATES

16.1.Computation of Credited Service For Purposes of Article IV and Article VIII.

For purposes of applying the provisions of Articles IV and VIII:

(a) The Credited Service of a Participant shall terminate upon his termination of service with the Bank (except as provided in Section 16.3), but such termination of service shall be determined in accordance with the following rules: A period of a leave of absence for military leave, or sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence shall constitute Credited Service for only a period of six (6) months or, if longer, as long as such Participant’s right to reemployment is guaranteed by statute or contract, and unless such Participant returns to actual Credited Service upon the expiration of such six (6) month or longer period such Participant’s Credited Service shall terminate upon such expiration or his earlier death or resignation. In order to constitute a bona fide leave of absence, there must be a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Bank.

(b) A Participant shall be deemed to have a termination of Credited Service in the event his hours of service as an employee or independent contractor are permanently reduced to less than 50% of his average hours of service during the preceding 36 months (or if employed as an employee or independent contractor by the Bank or any member of an affiliated group less than 36 months, during such shorter period)

(c) A Participant shall not be deemed to have had a termination of Credited Service if he is employed by the Bank or any member of an affiliated group as an employee or independent contractor 50% or more of his average hours of service during the preceding 36 months (or if employed as an employee or independent contractor by the Bank or any member of an affiliated group less than 36 months, during such shorter period).

16.2.Computation of Credited Service For Purposes of Section 8.2.

For purposes of applying the provisions of Section 8.2:

(a) The Credited Service of a Participant shall terminate upon his disability, retirement or termination of service with the Bank (except as provided in Section 16.3) for any reason; and the following types of absences shall not be deemed to terminate the Credited Service of a Participant:

(i) Leave of absence granted for sickness, injury, disability, government, civic or charitable service or any other specific reason, for not more than two (2) years.

(ii) Absence for military service under leave of absence granted by the Bank or when required by law, provided he returns to service as an employee of the Bank or an affiliated employer described in Section 16.3 within ninety (90) days of his release from active military duty or any longer period during which his right to re-employment is protected by law.

(iii) Lay off not in excess of two (2) years until employment is terminated either by the employee or the Bank or an affiliated employer described in Section 16.3.

(b) Credited Service shall not be deemed terminated by the first twenty-four (24) consecutive months of a maternity or paternity leave of absence. For purposes of this paragraph, a “maternity or paternity leave of absence” means an absence (i) by reason of the pregnancy; (ii) by reason of the birth of a child of an employee; (iii) by reason of the placement of a child with the an employee in connection with the adoption of the child by such employee; or (iv) for purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately following such birth or placement. The Committee may, in its discretion reasonably require an employee to furnish timely information to establish that an absence from work is a maternity or paternity absence and the number of days for which there was such an absence.

16.3.Employment in Affiliated Group.

Once a person is actually an employee of the Bank (without reference to the provisions of this Section), employment by any member of an affiliated group shall be deemed employment by the Bank for purposes of determining whether he remains in Credited Service. The term “member of an affiliated group” shall include each and all of the following: (i) any corporation which is a member of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code), which group includes the Bank; (ii) any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) which is under common control (as defined in Section 414(c) of the Code) with the Bank; (iii) any organization (whether incorporated or not) which is a member of affiliated service group (as defined in Section 414(m) of the Code) which includes the Bank; and (iv) any other entity required to be aggregated with the Bank pursuant to Regulations under Section 414(o) of the Code.

16.4.Adoption by Affiliates

(a) With the consent of the Committee and upon recommendation of the Administrative Committee, this Plan may be adopted by any corporations or trade or businesses or other organizations or entities included in the definition of “member of an affiliated group” set forth in Section 16.3. Separate accounts shall be maintained with respect to all contributions made by such adopting employer. Such adopting employer shall be solely responsible for any contributions required with respect to compensation paid by such adopting employer unless otherwise agreed by the Bank. In the event that

any such amounts are paid by the adopting employer to fund its obligations into any trust described in Article IX such amounts shall be subject to the claims of creditors of the Bank in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 and with respect to such amounts so paid by such adopting employer, the terms of Section 9.1 shall be construed as if the term “the Bank” refers to “either the Bank or such adopting employer’”. Further the provisions of Section 9.2 and 9.3 shall with respect to the adopting employer be construed as if the terms “the Bank” were referring to such adopting employer. In the event that the Bank and/or one or more adopting employers shares in payment of compensation to any Participant, the contributions shall be required hereunder shall be allocated by them in proportion to the total compensation paid by all of them to such Participant unless the Bank and such other payors otherwise agree.

(b) Any adopting employer may withdraw from the Plan or terminate the Plan as to its employees and shall do so upon 60 days notice so to do from the Bank, and to the extent permissible any amounts in such Trust attributable to contributions by such adopting employer shall be paid to such adopting employer or its designee. No distributions from such Trust to pay for Plan benefits earned from an adopting employer shall be paid except to the extent such funds are attributable to the contributions of such adopting employer and no Trust funds so applicable shall be used to pay for benefits not attributable to service to such affiliated employer.

(c) Unless specifically provided in a writing signed by the Bank, service to such affiliated employer prior to the time of the adoption of the Plan by such affiliated employer shall not be counted for purposes of eligibility, vesting or benefit accrual notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan.

16.5.Special Rule for 2009 Bank Consolidations. For those Participants who, as of December 31, 2008, were employees of one of the banks being merged with and into the Bank effective as of January 1, 2009 (the “Subsidiary Banks”), service prior to January 1, 2009 recognized for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the Chittenden Corporation Incentive Savings and Profit Sharing Plan for the Subsidiary Bank employees who were participants in (or eligible to participate in) such plan as of December 31, 2008 will also be recognized for such employees solely for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under the Plan.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank, acting by its undersigned officer, duly authorized, hereby executes the Plan to be effective as herein provided.

EXHIBIT A

Amended and Restated People’s United Bank Supplemental Savings Plan

Effective October 4, 2004

I.	The Interim 2005 Procedures are described as follows:

Prior to December 31, 2004 Participants were required to elect irrevocably the total percentage of their Election Compensation for 2005 and STIP bonus earned in 2004 and payable in 2005 to be deferred as contributions to the 401(k) Plan and this Plan. However, Participants were able to change their elections with respect to contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Contributions to this Plan in 2005 commenced only after a Participant ceased being able to make 401(k) deferrals because of application of Sections 402(g), 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code. In February, 2005 the Interim 2005 Procedures were changed to provide that for purposes of determining Participant Contributions under this Plan with respect to such compensation, the Participant’s 401(k) contribution percentage elections in effect as of the first payroll date in March of 2005 would be applied regardless of any change made in such election thereafter. In June, 2005 the Interim 2005 Procedures were changed to provide Plan Participants an opportunity to elect a separate percentage deferral rate for the STIP bonus based on service during 2005 and payable in 2006 which differed from that applicable to other Election Compensation for 2005 and provided that they made such election on or prior to June 30, 2005.

II.	The Interim 2006 Procedures are described as follows:

Prior to December 31, 2005 Participants were required to elect irrevocably the total percentage of their Election Compensation for 2006 to be deferred as contributions to the 401(k) Plan and this Plan. Participants were allowed to change their 401(k) Plan deferrals during 2006, but no such changes did or would affect the amount of contributions with respect to 2006 Election Compensation under this Plan. Contributions to this Plan with respect to Election Compensation for 2006 (including contributions with respect to STIP bonuses earned in 2006 and paid in 2007) commenced only after a Participant would have ceased being able to make 401(k) deferrals because of application of Sections 402(g), 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code if the application of those Sections had been determined by reference to such Participant’s 401(k) Plan percentage deferral elections last elected prior to December 31, 2006 (regardless of any change actually made in such Participant’s 401(k) Plan deferral election). The Interim 2006 Procedures allowed for separate elections applicable to (a) the STIP bonus based on service in 2006 and payable in 2007 and (b) to all other Election Compensation for 2006.
