EXHIBIT 10 (c)
CAMPBELL SOUP COMPANY
SUPPLEMENTAL EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT PLAN
Amended and Restated
Effective January 1, 2009
This is the Campbell Soup Company Supplemental Employees’ Retirement Plan (the “SERP” or the
“Plan”) originally adopted on the August 1, 1996 by the Campbell Soup Company (the “Company”) on behalf of
itself and its subsidiaries to provide benefits, in addition to those provided under the Campbell Soup Company
Retirement and Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) to certain eligible employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The SERP is a continuation of the benefit that, prior to August 1, 1996, was set forth in footnote 3
of the Pension Plan.
The portion of the SERP that provides excess benefits ( i.e. , benefits that, pursuant to section 415 of the
Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), may not be provided under a tax-qualified retirement plan) is intended to
be an excess benefit plan within the meaning of section 3(36) of ERISA. The remainder of the SERP is intended
to be “a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of
sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the SERP,
as amended and restated effective January 1, 2009, is intended to comply with Code section 409A and official
guidance issued thereunder and shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with the
intentions set forth above.
