WEBSTER BANK
SUPPLEMENTAL DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
FOR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
General
The Webster Bank Supplemental Defined Contribution Plan for Executive Officers (the "Plan") is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan designed to provide supplemental contributions to a select group of management or highly compensated employees. The Plan is also expected to encourage the continued service of such individuals and to facilitate the recruiting of executive personnel in the future.
The Plan is adopted effective as of October 20, 2008.
Prior to July 1, 2006, the Supplemental Retirement Plan for Employees of Webster Bank provided supplemental contributions to a select group of management or highly compensated employees. For the period on and after July 1, 2006 and prior to October 20, 2008, all liabilities relating to such supplemental contributions were transferred to, and assumed by, the Webster Bank Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers. Effective as of October 20, 2008, all liabilities relating to such supplemental contributions were transferred to, and assumed by, the Plan.
Under the terms of the Webster Bank Retirement Savings Plan: (a) effective as of January 1, 2007, all employees who are first hired on or after January 1, 2007 will be eligible to receive both matching contributions and nonelective contributions; (b) effective as of April 1, 2007, all employees who are rehired on or after January 1, 2007 will be eligible to receive both matching contributions and nonelective contributions; and (c) effective as of January 1, 2008, all other employees will be eligible to receive (i) both matching contributions and nonelective contributions, and (ii) if the employees were employed on December 31, 2006 and were active participants in the Webster Bank Pension Plan on December 31, 2007, transition contributions. Under the Plan, each eligible employee will receive supplemental matching contributions, supplemental nonelective contributions and supplemental transition contributions determined by reference to the matching contributions formula, nonelective contributions formula, and transition contributions formula applicable to the employee under the Webster Bank Retirement Savings Plan. In addition, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the President, and the Chief Financial Officer of the Bank will be eligible to receive supplemental additional transition contributions under the Plan.

If the distribution is made in installments, the distribution shall be charged to the Installment Subaccount of the Participant's appropriate account.
(b)(i) A Participant's Supplemental Contributions shall be credited with earnings and losses in the same manner as if the Supplemental Contributions were actually invested in one or more of the investment options offered under the 401(k) Plan and elected by the Participant; provided, however, that: (A) the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio shall not be deemed to be an investment option available under the 401(k) Plan; (B) the Webster Stock Fund shall not be deemed to be an investment option available under the 40 1(k) Plan, except that, effective on and after May 1, 2007, the Webster Stock Fund shall be deemed to be an investment option available under the 401(k) Plan for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the President and Chief Operating Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer of the Bank; and (C) a Fidelity money market fund shall be deemed to be an investment option available under the 401(k) Plan.
(ii)A Participant may specify the percentage of the Supplemental Contributions to be credited to the Plan on his or her behalf, or the percentage of his or her Supplemental Contributions Account, which will be credited with earnings and losses based on the investment options selected by the Participant. The Participant may change his or her investment election at any time by providing notice to the Committee, and any such change shall be effective as soon as practicable after it is received by the Committee.
Any change in a Participant's investment election shall be effective on a prospective basis only.
(iii)Separate investment elections shall not be permitted with respect to a Participant's Supplemental Matching Contributions, Supplemental Nonelective Contributions, Supplemental Transition Contributions and Supplemental Additional Transition Contributions.

(iii)With respect to a Participant's Supplemental Transition Contributions Account and Supplemental Additional Transition Contributions Account, in the same manner and to the same extent as the amounts credited to the Participant's transition contributions account under the 401(k) Plan.

(c)Notwithstanding the above, if a Vesting Change in Control occurs and the employment of a Participant is terminated other than for Cause or Disability, or the Participant terminates his or her employment for Good Reason, during the two year period following the Vesting Change in Control, then the Participant shall become vested and shall have a nonforfeitable right to receive his or her entire Supplemental Contributions Account under the Plan.

(i)"Cause" shall mean:
(a)the willful and continued failure of the Participant to perform substantially the Participant's duties with the Corporation or one of its affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or following the Participant's delivery of a notice termination for Good Reason), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Participant by the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer believes that the Participant has not substantially performed the Participant's duties; or
(b)the willful engaging by the Participant in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Corporation.
For purposes of this subsection (c)(i), no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Participant shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Participant's action or omission was in the best interests of the Corporation. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority (A) given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors or, if the Corporation is not the ultimate parent corporation of its affiliated companies and is not publicly-traded, the board of directors of the ultimate parent of the Corporation (the "Applicable Board); (B) upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or a senior officer of the Corporation; or (C) based upon the advice of counsel for the Corporation, shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant in good faith and in the best interests of the Corporation. The cessation of employment of the Participant shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Participant a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Applicable Board at a meeting of the Applicable Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Participant and the Participant is given an opportunity, together with counsel for the Participant, to be heard before the Applicable Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Applicable Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in subsection (c)(i)(A) or subsection (c)(i)(B) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

-13-

(ii)"Disability" shall mean the absence of the Participant from the Participant's duties with the Corporation on a full-time basis for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness that is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Corporation or its insurers and acceptable to the Participant or the Participant's legal representative.
(iii)"Good Reason" shall mean:
(A)the assignment to the Participant of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Participant's position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by any agreement between the Corporation and the Participant, or any other action by the Corporation which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and that is remedied by the Corporation promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Participant;
(B)any failure by the Corporation to provide the Participant the compensation or benefits required by any agreement between the Corporation and the Participant, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and that is remedied by the Corporation promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Participant;
(C)the Corporation's requiring the Participant to be based at any office or location other than as provided in any agreement between the Corporation and the Participant, or the Corporation's requiring the Participant to travel on Corporation business to a substantially greater extent than required immediately prior to the Vesting Change in Control;
(D)any purported termination by the Corporation of the Participant's employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by any agreement between the Corporation and the Participant; or
(E)any failure by the Corporation to cause any successor to all or substantially all of its business and/or assets to assume expressly and agree to perform the obligations of the Corporation under any agreement between the Corporation and the Participant.
For purposes of this subsection (c)(iii), any good faith determination of "Good Reason" made by the Participant shall be conclusive. The Participant's mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above in subsections (c)(iii)(A) through (c)(iii)(E) shall not affect the Participant's ability to te r mi n at e employment for Good Reason.
(iv)"Vesting Change in Control" shall mean:
(A)Any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (I) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation (the "Outstanding Corporation Common Stock") or (II) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities"); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (c)(iv)(A), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (I) any acquisition directly from the Corporation, (II) any acquisition by the Corporation, (III) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or any affiliated company, or (IV)

-14-

any acquisition pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (I), (II) and (III) of subsection (c)(iv)C); or
(B)Any time at which individuals who, as of the date of the amendment and restatement of this Plan, constituted the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to such date whose election, or nomination for election by the Corporation's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of Directors; or
(C)Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (each a "Business Combination"), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination: (I) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Corporation Common Stock and the Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Corporation Common Stock and the Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities, as the case may be; (II) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Corporation or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination; and (III) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board of Directors, providing for such Business Combination; or
(D)Approval by the shareholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation.
3.5 Time of Distribution of Supplemental Contributions. A Participant's Supplemental Contributions (adjusted for the earnings and losses allocable thereto) will be distributed, or will

-15-

commence to be distributed, on the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the earlier of:
(a)the date that is six months after the date of the Participant's Separation from Service with the Bank, the Corporation and all Affiliates; or
(b)the date that is sixty (60) days after the Participant's death.
3.6 Form of Distribution of Supplemental Contributions.
(a)A Participants Supplemental Contributions will be distributed, or will commence to be distributed, in the form of distribution elected, or deemed elected, by the Participant pursuant to Section 3.2, depending on whether such Supplemental Contributions are credited to his or her Lump Sum Subaccount or Installment Subaccount:
(i)Amounts credited to the Participant's Lump Sum Subaccount shall be distributed to the Participant in a single lump sum at the time determined pursuant to Section 3.5.
(ii)Amounts credited to the Participant's Installment Subaccount shall be distributed in ten substantially equal, annual installments, commencing at the time determined pursuant to Section 3.5. Each installment shall be equal to the balance credited to the Installment Subaccount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is ten minus the number of annual installments previously paid to the Participant (so that the first installment will be 1/10th of the account, the second installment will be 1/9th of the account, and so on).
If a Participant is entitled to receive installment payments due to a Separation from Service pursuant to Section 3.5(a), the installment payment to which the Participant would otherwise have been entitled if installment payments had commenced on the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the date of his or her Separation from Service will be segregated as of such date, credited with earnings and losses, and paid on the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the date that is six months after his or her Separation from Service. The remainder of the installments shall be paid to the Participant annually on each subsequent anniversary of the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the date of his or her Separation from Service until the ten installments have been paid.
If a Participant begins to receive installment payments but he or she dies before his or her entire Installment Subaccount has been distributed, the remaining installment payments shall be made to the Participant's Beneficiary.
If a Participant dies before beginning to receive his or her installment payments, the first installment will be paid to the Beneficiary on the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the date that is sixty (60) days after the Participant's death. Subsequent installments shall be paid to the Beneficiary annually on each subsequent anniversary of such date until the ten installments have been paid.
(b)Amounts payable under this Section 3.6 shall be paid in cash, except that, prior to the commencement of payments, at the election of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the President and Chief Operating Officer, or the Chief Financial Officer of the Bank, or his or her Beneficiary if payments have not commenced at the time of his or her death, the portion (if any) of the Supplemental Contributions Account that is then credited with earnings and losses based on the value of Webster Financial Corporation common stock shall be distributed in shares of such common stock.

-16-

3.7 Change in Form of Distribution.
(a)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a Participant may make an election pursuant to Section 3.2 regarding the form of distribution of Supplemental Contributions subsequent to the date specified in Section 3.2, provided that: (i) any change in such an election cannot become effective until at least twelve months after the date on which the change in election occurs; and (ii) if it is related to a distribution described in Section 3.5(a), the change must delay the date of distribution (or the date of the first distribution) for at least five years from the date such distribution would otherwise have been made. In no event can a change in an election (or deemed election) made pursuant to Section 3.2 accelerate the time or schedule of any distribution of Supplemental Contributions, except to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A and the regulations issued pursuant thereto.
(b)In Notice 2005-1, Question 19(c), as modified by the preamble to the proposed regulations under Code Section 409A, Notice 2006-79, and the preamble to the final regulations under Code Section 409A (the "Election Guidance"), the Internal Revenue Service stated that, with respect to deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement may be amended to allow a participant to make a new payment election with respect to the form of payment of his or her deferred compensation, and such election will not be treated as a change in the form of payment of the deferred compensation under Code Section 409A(a)(4) or an acceleration of a payment under Code Section 409A(a)(3), provided that: (i) the amendment is adopted and effective on or before December 31, 2007; (ii) the employee makes an election regarding the form of payment of his or her deferred compensation on or before December 31, 2007; (iii) the election applies only to amounts that would not otherwise be payable in 2007 and does not cause an amount to be paid in 2007 that would not otherwise be payable in 2007; and (iv) the election otherwise satisfies the constructive receipt rule and other provisions of the Code and common law doctrines.
Pursuant to the Election Guidance, on or before December 31, 2007 a Participant may make an election pursuant to Section 3.2 regarding the form of distribution of his or her Supplemental Contributions, without being subject to the requirements of Section 3.7(a); provided, however, that the effective date of such an election shall be delayed to the extent required by the constructive receipt rule or other provisions of the Code or common law doctrines.
3.8 Cashout of Small Accounts. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.6 and Section 3.7, if the sum of a Participant's Supplemental Contributions Account and accounts under any nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements of the same type (i.e., any account balance plans) maintained by the Bank, the Corporation or any Affiliates does not exceed the limitation on elective deferrals set forth in Section 402(g)(l)(B) of the Code at the time of his or her Separation from Service with the Bank, the Corporation and all Affiliates, then the Participant's entire Supplemental Contributions Account shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum on the date that is sixty (60) days after the date on which the Participant Separates from Service.

ARTICLE IV
Benefit Claims Procedure
4.1 Claims for Benefits.
(a)Any claim for benefits under the Plan shall be made in writing to the Committee. The Committee shall promptly process each claim for benefits received by it and shall notify the claimant in writing of the action taken regarding the claim for benefits within a reasonable period of time following its receipt, but not later than ninety (90) days (forty-five (45) days in the case of a claim for disability benefits). This period may be extended by the Committee for up to ninety (90) days (for up to two thirty (30) day periods in the case of a claim for disability benefits), provided that the notice of the extension of time is furnished to the claimant prior to the beginning of the extension period. In the event of a denial of benefits, the Committee shall furnish the claimant with a written notification which shall include: (i) the reasons for the denial; (ii) specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim for benefits, including an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (iv) an explanation of the review procedure set forth in Section 4.2.
(b)In the event of a denial of a disability benefit claim, in addition to the notification requirements of Section 4.1(a), the Committee shall furnish the claimant a copy of the criterion relied upon (or a statement that the criterion will be provided free of charge upon request), and an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment on which the denial was based (or a statement that the explanation will be provided free of charge upon request).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any disability related claim shall be handled in a manner consistent with applicable Department of Labor regulations. For purposes of this Section 4.1, a benefit is a "disability benefit" if the claimant is required to provide proof of his or her eligibility for a disability benefit as a condition for obtaining the benefit. A benefit is not a disability benefit if a finding of benefit eligibility is determined under another program by an independent party, such as the Social Security Administration.
4.2 Appeal Procedure.
(a)A claimant who has received a written denial of a claim for benefits may appeal by filing with the Committee a written request for review. Such request must be made within sixty (60) days (one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of a claim for disability benefits) following the receipt of the written denial. In connection with any request for review, the claimant may at any time review all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim free of charge, and request a review that takes into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted (without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination).
(b)In connection with any request for review of a disability benefit claim, in addition to the other requirements of this Section 4.2, the Committee shall provide for a review that: (i) does not afford deference to the initial adverse benefit determination; (ii) is conducted by an appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan who is neither the individual who made the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the appeal nor the subordinate of such individual; (iii) in the case of an adverse benefit determination based on a medical judgment, provides that the

-18-

appropriate named fiduciary shall consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment; (iv) provides for the identification of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination; and (v) provides that the health care professional engaged is an individual who is neither the individual who made the adverse benefit determination nor the subordinate of such individual.
(c)The Committee shall notify the claimant of its determination on review within sixty (60) days (forty-five (45) days in the case of a claim for disability benefits) following receipt of the request for review. This period may be extended by the Committee for up to sixty (60) days (forty-five (45) days in the case of a claim for disability benefits), provided that the Committee determines that special circumstances (such as the need to hold a hearing) require an extension of time for processing the claim. Written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the beginning of the extension period. The extension notice must indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Committee expects to render a decision.

ARTICLE V
Funding
5.1 Funding. It is the intention of the Bank, the Corporation, the Participating Affiliates, the Participants and their survivors and Beneficiaries, and each other party to the Plan that the arrangements hereunder be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The rights of Participants and their survivors and Beneficiaries shall be solely those of a general unsecured creditor of the Bank, the Corporation or a Participating Affiliate (as applicable). The Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Bank, the Corporation or a Participating Affiliate (as applicable) to make benefit payments in the future.
The obligation of the Bank, the Corporation or a Participating Affiliate (as applicable) to pay benefits under the Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts described in the Plan in the manner and under the conditions prescribed by the Plan.
Any assets set aside to fund deferred compensation shall be subject to the claims of general creditors, and no person other than the Bank, the Corporation or a Participating Affiliate (as applicable) shall, by virtue of the provisions of the Plan, have any interest in such funds.
Prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, neither the Bank, the Corporation nor any Participating Affiliate shall have any obligation to fund the benefits payable under the Plan. If the Bank, the Corporation or a Participating Affiliate determines, prior to a Change in Control, that deferred compensation under the Plan should be funded, it may utilize, singly or in combination, any method of funding it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, terminal funding, annuity contracts, life insurance contracts, or a group or individual trust (including a trust the terms of which conform with the language of the model trust agreement set forth in Revenue Procedure 92-64 issued by the Internal Revenue Service (or any successor thereto) relating to trusts established in connection with unfunded deferred compensation arrangements (a "Rabbi Trust")).
Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Bank, the Corporation and each Participating Affiliate shall (unless their liabilities under the Plan have been fully discharged) adopt and fully fund a Rabbi Trust (or, if Rabbi Trusts are no longer available for use in connection with unfunded deferred compensation arrangements, any other instrument which is designed to provide a similar level of security and to have the same tax results as a Rabbi Trust). All of the assets of the Rabbi Trust shall be located, and shall remain located, within the United States, whether or not such assets are available to satisfy the claims of general creditors. In addition, the Rabbi Trust shall not contain any provision which states that the assets of the Rabbi Trust will be restricted to the provision of benefits under the Plan in the event of a change in the financial health of the Bank, the Corporation, or an Affiliate (or any successor thereof), whether or not such assets are available to satisfy the claims of general creditors.

ARTICLE VI
Amendment and Termination
6.1 Right to Amend. At any time, and from time to time, the Board of the Bank, by resolutions adopted by it, may amend the Plan or change the designation of Participants under the Plan.
6.2 Right to Terminate. The Plan can be terminated by action of the Board of the Bank only if: (a) the termination of the Plan does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Bank, the Corporation or an Affiliate; (b) all nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements of the same type (i.e., all account balance plans) maintained by the Bank, the Corporation and all Affiliates are terminated with respect to all employees; (c) no payments are made within twelve months after the termination of the Plan (other than payments that would have been payable under the terms of the Plan if the termination had not occurred); (d) all payments are made within twenty-four (24) months after the termination of the Plan; and (e) neither the Bank, the Corporation nor any Affiliate adopts a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement of the same type (i.e., an account balance plan) for a period of three years with respect to any employee following the date of the termination of the Plan. If the Plan is terminated, each Participant's Supplemental Contributions Account will be paid to the Participant in a lump sum on the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the first anniversary of the termination of the Plan.
If the Board of the Bank takes irrevocable action to terminate the Plan and all nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements of the same type (i.e., all account balance plans) sponsored by the Bank, the Corporation and all Affiliates within thirty (30) days preceding or within twelve months following a Section 409A Change in Control, then each Participant's Supplemental Contributions Account will be distributed in a lump sum within twelve (12) months following the date of such irrevocable action.
If the Board of the Bank terminates the Plan within twelve months following a corporate dissolution that is taxable under Code Section 331 or within twelve months following the bankruptcy court's approval of the termination of the Plan, then each Participant's Supplemental Contributions Account will be distributed in the calendar year in which the Plan is terminated, the first calendar year in which the Supplemental Matching Contributions Account is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or the first year in which the distribution is administratively practicable (whichever is latest).
6.3 Limitations. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article VI: (a) no modification, amendment, discontinuance or termination of the Plan may permit any distribution of a Participant's Supplemental Contributions Account other than in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code; (b) no modification, amendment, discontinuance or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect the rights of any former Employee (or the survivor of any former Employee) then receiving benefits; and (c) the vested benefits which any Participant had accrued immediately prior to the effective date of any modification, amendment, discontinuance or termination of the Plan shall not be reduced. Notice of every such modification, amendment, discontinuance or termination shall be given in writing to each Participant.

ANNEX I
Special Provisions for Certain Former Participants
in the Eagle Financial Corporation Plan
Effective as of April 15, 1998 (the "Eagle Acquisition Date"), Eagle Financial Corporation ("Eagle") was merged with and into Webster Financial Corporation. Effective as of the Eagle Acquisition Date, all of the obligations of Eagle under the Eagle Financial Corporation Benefit Equalization Plan (the "Eagle SERP") were transferred to, and assumed by, Webster Financial Corporation. Webster Financial Corporation has, in turn, transferred all of such obligations to Webster Bank, National Association, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Webster Financial Corporation. Therefore, effective as of the Eagle Acquisition Date, all of the obligations of Eagle under the Eagle SERP have been transferred to, and assumed by, Webster Bank, National Association.
Effective as of April 15, 1998, the Eagle SERP was merged with and into the Webster Bank Supplemental Retirement Plan for Employees of Webster Bank (the "Webster SERP").
Effective as of the first day with respect to which the processing of the payroll for the former employees of Eagle was performed in conjunction with the processing of the payroll for the employees of Webster Bank (the "Eagle Payroll Merger Date"), the former employees of Eagle became eligible to participate in the Webster Bank Retirement Savings Plan (formerly known as the Webster Bank Employee Investment Plan) (the "Webster 401(k) Plan"). In addition, effective as of July 1, 1998, certain of the assets and liabilities of the Financial Institutions Thrift Plan as Adopted by Eagle Financial Corporation (the "Eagle 401(k) Plan") were transferred to and assumed by the Webster 401(k) Plan.
Prior to July 1, 2006, the Webster SERP provided the Supplemental Matching Contributions described in Article III. For the period on and after July 1, 2006 and prior to October 20, 2008, all liabilities relating to the Supplemental Matching Contributions were transferred to, and assumed by, the Webster Bank Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers. Effective as of October 20, 2008, all liabilities relating to the Supplemental Matching Contributions were transferred to, and assumed by, the Plan.
(1)No person who was a participant in the Eagle SERP on the Eagle Acquisition Date became a Participant in the Webster SERP unless the Board specifically designated such person as being eligible to participate in the Webster SERP pursuant to Article II.
(2)If a former participant in the Eagle SERP became a Participant in the Webster SERP on or about the Eagle Acquisition Date, such person was not deemed to have incurred a separation from service under the Eagle SERP and was not entitled to receive (or commence to receive) a distribution of the benefits which he or she accrued thereunder until the date set forth in Article III. However, if a former participant in the Eagle SERP did not become a Participant in the Webster SERP on or about the Eagle Acquisition Date, such person was deemed to have incurred a separation from service under the Eagle SERP and was entitled to receive (or commence to receive) a distribution of the benefits which he or she accrued thereunder in accordance with the terms of the Webster SERP.
(3)I f any person who was a participant in the Eagle SERP on the Eagle Acquisition Date became a Participant in the Webster SERP and he or she was eligible to receive Supplemental Matching Contributions under the Webster SERP, then such Supplemental Matching Contributions were credited to him or her only with respect to elective deferrals made to the 401(k) Plan on or after

-I-1-

the Eagle Payroll Merger Date. No Supplemental Matching Contributions were credited with respect to elective deferrals made to the Eagle 401(k) Plan prior to the Eagle Payroll Merger Date.
(4)Except as otherwise provided in this Annex I, all of the provisions of the Plan shall apply to each person who was a participant in the Eagle SERP immediately prior to the Eagle Acquisition Date.

ANNEX II
Special Provisions Relating to Certain
Supplemental Matching Contributions
Prior to July I, 2006, the Webster Bank Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") permitted Participants only to elect to have deferred compensation credited to their deferred compensation accounts. Prior to July 1, 2006, the Supplemental Retirement Plan for Employees of Webster Bank provided for the crediting of Supplemental Matching Contributions to the Supplemental Matching Contributions Accounts of a select group of management or highly compensated employees.
Effective as of July 1, 2006, all liabilities relating to Supplemental Matching Contributions were transferred to, and assumed by, the Deferred Compensation Plan.
Effective as of October 20, 2008, all liabilities relating to Supplemental Matching Contributions and other Supplemental Contributions were transferred to, and assumed by, the Plan. Therefore, effective as of October 20, 2008, the Plan provides for the crediting of Supplemental Contributions.
The following special provisions apply to certain Supplemental Matching Contributions:
With respect to any S upplemental Matching Contributions credited to a Participant's Supplemental Matching Contributions Account under the Deferred Compensation Plan prior to July 1, 2006, interest (compounded monthly) shall be added to the balance credited to the Supplemental Matching Contributions Account from time to time: (1) as of the last day of each calendar year during the period beginning when the Supplemental Matching Contributions were first so credited, and ending on the last day of the calendar year preceding the date described in (2); and (2) as of the date of distribution of a final installment payment or a lump sum distribution of the amounts credited to the Participant's Supplemental Matching Contributions Account. The rate of interest is the interest rate on one year United States Treasury obligations, as reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, plus fifty (50) basis points, adjusted monthly.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph of this Annex II, a Participant who had not commenced to receive his or her Supplemental Matching Contributions prior to June 7, 2006 was permitted to elect to have any Supplemental Matching Contributions credited to his or her Supplemental Matching Contributions Account prior to July 1, 2006 credited with earnings and losses pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.3(b) rather than being credited with interest pursuant to the preceding paragraph of this Annex II. Any such election had to be made by June 7, 2006, and is irrevocable.

of Certain Benefits Under Code Section 409A
It is the intention of the Bank, the Corporation and each Participating Affiliate that all Supplemental Matching Contributions (including Supplemental Matching Contributions that were earned and vested prior to January 1, 2005) shall not be grandfathered for purposes of Code Section 409A and shall be subject to the terms of the Webster Bank Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2005 and to the terms of the Plan as adopted effective as of October 20, 2008. Therefore, each Participant's entire Supplemental Matching Contributions Account is subject to the terms of the Plan.
