SEPARATION AGREEMENT & RELEASE

This is an Agreement between General Electric Company (the "Company") and David
Nissen (the "Employee").

WHEREAS the Employee will cease to be employed by the Company,

WHEREAS the Company and the Employee intend the terms and conditions of this
Agreement to govern all issues related to the Employee's employment and
separation from the Company,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and mutual promises herein
contained, the Company and Employee agree as follows:

1.           Separation Date. The Employee shall continue to be employed on
active payroll and be paid his current salary at the Company's regular pay
intervals until the end of December, 2008 when his separation will become
effective, or until he begins full time employment with another employer,
whichever event occurs first (the “Separation Date”). The Employee will continue
to work full-time until June 30, 2008. After this date, the Employee is expected
to be available for consultation with respect to matters within the scope of his
employment. The Employee agrees that he will immediately notify the Company in
the event that he commences full-time employment with another employer.

In the event of the death or disability (as defined in the GE Long Term
Disability Income Plan for Salaried Employees) of the Employee prior to December
31, 2008, then the date of such death or disability shall be the Separation
Date, assuming the Employee is still employed by the Company.

2.           Employee Representations. Employee hereby represents and
acknowledges to the Company that (a) the Company has advised Employee to consult
with an attorney of his choosing; (b) he has had twenty-one (21) days to
consider the waiver of his rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act
of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”) prior to signing this Agreement; (c) he has
disclosed to the Company any information in his possession concerning any
conduct involving the Company or its affiliates that he has any reason to
believe involves any false claims to the United States or is or may be unlawful
or violates Company Policy in any respect; (d) the consideration provided him
under this Agreement is sufficient to support the releases provided by him under
this Agreement; and (e) he has not filed any charges, claims or lawsuits against

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the Company involving any aspect of his employment which have not been
terminated as of the date of this Agreement. The Employee understands that the
Company regards the representations made by him as material and that the Company
is relying on these representations in entering into this Agreement.

3.           Effective Date of the Agreement. Employee shall have seven days
from the date Employee signs this Agreement to revoke Employee’s consent to the
waiver of his rights under the ADEA in writing addressed and delivered to the
Company official executing this Agreement on behalf of the Company which action
shall revoke this Agreement. If Employee revokes this Agreement, all of its
provisions shall be void and unenforceable. If Employee does not revoke his
consent, the Agreement will take effect on the day after the end of this
revocation period (the “Effective Date”).

4.           Vacation and other benefits. The period during which Employee shall
remain on active payroll described in Paragraph 1 shall be inclusive of all
vacation to which Employee is or may be entitled through his Separation Date.

share (6/12) of the Incentive Compensation paid for 2007 and paid during the
regular Incentive process by the Company. No Incentive Compensation will be paid
for 2009.

6.           Officer Benefits. Employee’s participation in the Company benefit
plans (e.g., medical, Savings and Security Program) through the Separation Date

for an active employee. Officer benefits and perquisites shall be treated as
follows:

Company Automobile. The Employee may continue using the Company-provided car in
his possession at the Effective Date of this Agreement until the Separation
Date, the end of the lease term, or when the car has reached 50,000 miles on the

Termination Date, the Employee may purchase the car at its market value (as
determined by GE Fleet Services) or relinquish the car to the Company.

b)  
Financial Planner. The Employee may continue to avail himself of the services of
a financial planner until the Separation Date.

c)

law or would result in the invalidation of the foregoing release.

f)  
Cooperating with Government Agencies. This Agreement does not limit the
Employee’s ability to communicate with governmental investigators on matters
involving the Company or participating in any such proceeding before a
governmental agency, including a state or federal fair employment practices

arise after the Effective Date (as described below) of this Agreement, without
regard to whether the employee is a “new employee” or a “current employee” as
defined by the Company ADR. Employee understands that this means he is giving up

arbitration pursuant to the Company ADR will be decided solely by an arbitrator.
If Employee needs another copy of the Company ADR guidelines, he can access it
online, if available, or ask his Company HR Manager (or his successor, if the
Company HR Manager is no longer in the role) for a copy.

would result in the invalidation of the foregoing release.

reasonably available to the Company to respond to requests by the Company for
information pertaining to or relating to the Company and/or the Company's
affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, officers, directors or employees that may be

investigations brought by or against the Company or any of its affiliates,
agents, officers, directors or employees, whether administrative, civil or
criminal in nature, in which and to the extent the Company deems the Employee's
cooperation necessary. The Company will reimburse the Employee for reasonable
out-of

 
7

prevent the Employee from communicating with or participating in any government
investigation.

19.           Non Disparagement. The Employee agrees, subject to any obligations
he may have under applicable law, that he will not make or cause to be made any

Company or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, officers, directors or
employees. In the event such a communication is made to anyone, including but
not limited to the media, public interest groups and publishing companies, it
will be considered a material breach of the terms of this Agreement and the
Employee will be required to reimburse the Company for any and all compensation
and benefits (other than those already vested) paid under the terms of this
Agreement and all commitments to make additional payments to the Employee will
be null and void.

20.           Future Employment. The Company is not obligated to offer

from the Employee directly or indirectly) now or in the future. Employee agrees
never to seek employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliated companies.

21.           Severability of Provisions. In the event that any provision in

all the terms and conditions, including amounts, in this Agreement and shall not
disclose them to any person other than the Employee's spouse, the Employee’s
legal or financial advisor, or U.S. governmental officials who seek such
information in the course of their official duties, unless compelled by law to

subpoena or otherwise, that the Employee disclose or produce this Agreement or
any terms or conditions thereof, the Employee shall immediately notify the
Company and shall give the Company an opportunity to respond to such notice
before taking any action or making any decision in connection with such request
or subpoena.

and understanding between the parties hereto and may be changed only with the
written consent of both parties and only if both parties make express reference

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

understandings concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. Any
modifications to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by Employee and an
authorized employee or agent of the Company.

25.           Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted
and applied in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

Release.                                                       The employee
agrees that on or after the last day of his employment with the Company, the
Employee will execute an additional release covering the period from the
Effective Date to the last day of employment. The Employee agrees that all
Company covenants that relate to obligations of the Company beyond the last day
of employment will be contingent on the execution of the release. The release
will be in the form of Exhibit #1 to this Agreement.

27.           Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. This
Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code (and any related guidance issued by the IRS or the
Treasury Department), so as to avoid the imposition of any additional taxes,
penalties or interest under those rules. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be
modified, as determined by the Company, to the extent necessary to avoid the
imposition of any additional taxes, penalties or interest. The Company may take
any such action without the consent of, or notice to, the Employee. Consistent
with the foregoing all payments under this Agreement shall be delayed to the
extent necessary to comply with the rules in Section 409A(2)(B)(i) (generally
requiring a delay of six months after termination for certain payments made to
Top-50 officers).

28.           Indemnification. The Company shall provide to the Employee, with
respect to his service as an Officer of the Company, and for services rendered
in compliance with this Agreement, indemnification and expense advancement,
which the Company is permitted by law to provide but is not in excess of the
Company’s then existing practice.

I acknowledge that I understand the above agreement includes the release of all
claims. I understand that I am waiving unknown claims and I am doing so
intentionally.

EXHIBIT A

GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY
ALLOWANCE ON TERMINATION OF SERVICE – EMPLOYEE AGREEMENT

Name: David Nissen
SSO ID: 215000041

 
I hereby agree to accept an Allowance effective January 1, 2009 in the form of a
Retirement Allowance to be paid as described below.
 
 
I understand that the granting of this Allowance is conditioned upon my electing
optional retirement to begin on the first of the month following my attainment
of age 60 under the GE Pension Plan, upon my agreement not to withdraw my
contributions plus interest credited thereon under that Plan and upon my
agreement not to elect the accelerated payment option under that Plan.
 
I understand that my Allowance consists of the following amounts (prior to
survivorship election and subject to adjustment for any difference in my
compensation or creditable service from current assumptions):
 
(A)
An amount of $7,989.10 per month shall commence on January 1, 2009 and shall
terminate at the end of the month in which I reach age 60 or the end of the
month in which I die, if earlier. (Amount replaced by vested pension under the
GE Pension Plan at age 60.)

 
(B)
An amount of $146,530.25 per month shall commence on January 1, 2009 and shall
continue until the end of the month in which I die.

 
(C)
An amount of $838.28 per month shall commence on January 1, 2009 and shall
continue until I attain age 63 or until the end of the month in which I die, if
earlier. I understand that I will not receive the payments described in this
paragraph (C) for the month in which I am eligible to begin receiving 80% of my
Social Security benefits and for any subsequent month.

 
I understand that no payment shall be made under this Allowance for the first
six months following my Separation Date. The next regularly scheduled payment
thereafter shall include a retroactive adjustment for the missed payments during
such six-month period.

 
12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
Survivor Benefits
 
If Your Death Occurs Before Your Pension Starts
 
Under the GE Pension Plan
 
1.
A survivor benefit will be paid under the GE Pension Plan to your surviving
spouse if you die before your pension commences under that Plan (i.e., the first
of the month after you would have reached age 60). The survivor benefit starts
when your pension under the GE Pension Plan would have started had you survived.

 
2.
To provide for an immediate and uninterrupted survivor benefit starting on the
first of the month following your death, you can elect a survivor benefit with
respect to the Allowance shown in (A) and (B) above. You may also waive the
survivor benefit with respect to the Allowance with your spouse's consent in
which case no benefits will be paid pursuant to this Agreement if your death
occurs before your pension starts under the GE Pension Plan. If you elect this
survivor benefit, your Allowance will be paid as follows:

 
 
The Allowance shown in (A) and (B) above shall be reduced in the same manner and
be paid under the same terms and conditions as a pension is reduced and paid to
provide a 50% survivor benefit under Section IX (1) of the GE Pension Plan to a
participant who is age 60 and taking into account the difference in age between
you and your spouse.

 
 
If you die before the first of the month following attainment of age 60, a
benefit shall be paid to your surviving spouse equal to 50% of your reduced
Allowance under (A) and (B) above. The amount payable under this survivor
benefit includes any benefit available to your surviving spouse in the form of a
monthly income under the GE Pension Plan but this election will have no effect
upon the amount of pension payable to you on and after the first of the month
after you reach after age 60. If you die prior to such first of the month
following attainment of age 60, the 50% survivor benefit payable to your
surviving spouse shall commence on the first of the month following your death
and shall continue for the remaining lifetime of your spouse. No further
Allowance shall be paid to any persons after both you and your spouse have died.

 

 
13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
If Your Death Occurs After Your Pension Starts
 
Under the GE Pension Plan
 
1.
On the first of the month after you reach age 60, the Allowance shown in (A)
above will stop and your pension under the GE Pension Plan will begin. If you
are married at that time, your pension will provide automatically for the
payment of 50% joint and survivor annuity with a lifetime benefit to your
surviving spouse after your subsequent death. During the 90-day period ending on
the date your pension starts, you and your spouse can waive this payment method
in favor of an optional method. Your GE Benefits Handbook and distribution
election forms explain the conditions applicable to the survivor benefit and its
waiver.

 
2.
If your death occurs after your pension has commenced under the GE Pension Plan
and a death or survivor benefit is payable to your beneficiary or surviving
spouse under that Plan, a death or survivor benefit will also be payable with
respect to the portion of your Allowance shown in (B) above. The benefit will be
computed and paid in the same manner as the death or survivor benefit under the
GE Pension Plan. Any reduction in your pension under the GE Pension Plan to
provide a survivor benefit shall automatically apply to the portion of your
Allowance shown in (B) above effective when your pension starts under the GE
Pension Plan.

 
The survivor benefit has been explained to me. I understand that my election
below applies to my death before the end of the month in which I reach age 60
and that any elections applicable to my death after that date must be made
during the 90-day period ending on the date my pension starts under the GE
Pension Plan.
 

   
I elect to have the Survivor Benefit apply to my Allowance.
         
I waive the Survivor Benefit with respect to the Allowance.

 
I understand that this Allowance may be terminated at any time by the Management
Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors if the
Committee in its sole discretion determines that I or, after my death my
surviving spouse, has acted or is acting in any way inimical to the interests of
the Company. The Board of Directors may reduce, suspend or terminate this
Allowance at any time in its discretion. In any event, this Allowance will be
terminated if I am reemployed by the Company or any of its affiliates or
subsidiaries.
