 Article 1. Introduction 
 1.1 Background and History 
 Sonoco Products Company (the “Company”) previously established and presently maintains the Omnibus
Benefit Restoration Plan of Sonoco Products Company (the “Plan”). The Plan was initially effective as of January 1, 1979 and was last amended and restated effective as of January 1, 1994. 
 1.2 Restatement of Plan 
 Effective as of January 1, 2008, the
Company hereby amends and restates the Plan to— 
  

	(a)	add an installment payment option with respect to a portion of the Executive Benefit; 

  

	(b)	add a new supplemental retirement benefit for employees who are appointed as officers on and after January 1, 2008; and 

  

	(c)	bring the Plan into compliance with Code section 409A. 

 1.3 Purpose
and Applicability of the Plan 
 The purpose of this Plan is to— 
  

	(a)	Provide certain eligible employees with supplemental retirement income; and 

  

	(b)	Restore to certain eligible employees benefits that may be lost or curtailed under the Company’s broad-based qualified retirement plans as a result of limits imposed on such
benefits under the Internal Revenue Code. 

 The Plan is intended to be a nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement for eligible employees
who are members of a “select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of ERISA section 201(2). The Plan, therefore, is intended to be exempt from the participation, funding, and fiduciary requirements of
Title I of ERISA. 
 The provisions of this Plan are generally applicable only to eligible employees who are employed by the Company or an Affiliate on and
after January 1, 2008. Unless otherwise provided in a retroactively effective provision of this restatement, any person who was covered by the Plan as in effect before January 1, 2008, and who had a Separation from Service before that
date, shall continue to be covered by the provisions of this Plan as in effect upon his or her Separation from Service.

	(b)	Lump Sum Payments. Notwithstanding section 2.1(a), the value of a lump sum payment calculated under section 10.3(a)(1) and 10.3(b) shall be computed on the basis of—


  

	 	(1)	the mortality table specified in section 2.1(a)(1); and

Normal Retirement Date (in the manner described in section 3.5(d)); and 

  

 16 









	 	(ii)	is the lesser of— 

  

	 	(I)	the amount that would have been accrued by the Participant under the Qualified Pension Plan through the last day of the immediately preceding Plan Year without regard to the limits
imposed by Code sections 401(a)(17) and 415, calculated initially as a Single Life Annuity commencing on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date but then converted into a Joint and 75 Percent Survivor Annuity commencing on the

	 	(I)	 the amount that would have been accrued by the Participant under the Qualified Pension Plan through the last day of the 



  

 17 









	 	 
immediately preceding Plan Year without regard to the limits imposed by Code sections 401(a)(17) and 415, calculated initially as a Single Life Annuity
commencing on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date, but then converted into a Joint and 75 Percent Survivor Annuity commencing on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date (in the manner described in section 3.5(d)); and

	 	(1)	applying the mortality and interest assumptions described in section 2.1, and 

  

	 	(2)	for a Participant who is not married as of the applicable calculation date, by assuming that the Participant’s beneficiary under the Joint and 75 Percent Survivor Annuity is
the same age as the Participant.

	(a)	Net Executive Restoration Benefit. The portion of the Executive Benefit that is attributable to the Net Executive Restoration Benefit shall be paid as follows:


  

	 	(1)	Before 2009. If a Participant’s benefit commencement date under this Article 3 is before January 1, 2009, and the Participant elects to commence his or her benefits
under the Qualified Pension Plan before such date, the Participant’s Executive Restoration Benefit shall be paid in the same annuity form in effect for the Participant under the Qualified Pension Plan. Any annuity benefit payable under this
section 3.6(a)(1) shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Single Life Annuity determined under section 3.2(b)(1), 3.3(b)(1), or 3.4(b)(1) (as applicable). 

  


 18 









	 	(2)	After 2008. Subject to section 10.3, if a Participant’s benefit commencement date under this Article 3 is after December 31, 2008, such benefit shall be distributed
as follows: 

  

	 	(A)	Normal Form of Payment. Unless a Participant elects an optional form under 3.6(a)(2)(B), the Net Executive Restoration Benefit shall be paid in the form of a Single Life

	 	(iii)	Joint and 100 Percent Survivor Annuity;

	 	(1)	Normal Form of Payment. Except as provided in sections 3.6(b)(2) and 10.3, the portion of the Executive Benefit that is attributable to the Net Executive SERP Benefit shall
be paid as follows: 

  

	 	(A)	Married Participant: If a Participant is married when the payment of his or her Executive Benefit commences under this Article 3, the Net Executive SERP Benefit (i.e., the
monthly amount determined under section 3.2(b)(2), 3.3(b)(2), or 3.4(b)(2), as applicable) shall be paid in the form a Joint and 75 Percent Survivor Annuity, with the Participant’s spouse as his or her Beneficiary.

shall be paid in the form of a Ten-Year Certain and Life 



  

 19 









	 	 
Annuity. This Ten-Year Certain and Life Annuity shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Joint and 75 Percent Survivor Annuity determined under section
3.2(b)(2), 3.3(b)(2), or 3.4(b)(2), as applicable (which shall be valued assuming that the Participant’s Beneficiary is the same age as the Participant). 


  

	 	(2)	Optional Form of Payment. 

  

	 	(A)	Three Equal Installments. A Participant may waive the normal form of payment specified under Section 3.6(b)(1) and elect instead to receive the Net Executive SERP
Benefit in the form of three equal installments, with the first installment payable on the benefit commencement date determined under section 3.2(c), 3.3(c), or 3.4(c) (as applicable), the second installment payable six months after the payment of
the first installment, and the third installment payable 12 months after the payment of the second installment. 

 The amount
of these installments shall be determined as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	The Net Executive SERP Benefit determined under 3.2(b)(2), 3.3(b)(2), or 3.4(b)(2) (as applicable) shall first be converted from an amount payable as a Joint and 75 Percent Survivor
Annuity into an equivalent lump sum using— 

  

	 	(I)	a mortality table, modified as appropriate by the Secretary of the Treasury, that is based on the mortality table specified for the Plan Year under Code section 430(h)(3) (but
determined without regard to Code sections 430(h)(3)(C) and 430(h)(3)(D)); and 

  

	 	(II)	an interest rate equal to the first, second, and third tier segment rates applied under rules similar to the rules of Code section 430(h)(2)(C), and adjusted in the manner
described in Code section 417(e)(3)(D), for the month of November immediately preceding the first day of the Plan Year in which the distribution occurs. 

  

	 	(ii)	The lump sum determined under section 3.6(b)(2)(A)(i) shall then be converted into an equivalent payment stream of three installments by applying the first tier segment rate
described in section 3.6(b)(2)(A)(i)(II). 

  

	 	(B)	 Limitation on Final Installment Payments. If the amount of the final (i.e., third) installment payments made on behalf of all Participants who are entitled
to such final installment payments in any Plan Year would trigger 



  

 20 









	 	 
settlement accounting for such Plan Year under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 88 (or any successor to such statement), the amount
actually paid in such Plan Year shall be limited to avoid the application of settlement accounting in the manner described below. 


  

	 	(i)	The aggregate excess amount for the Plan Year is equal to (I) minus (II) where— 

  

	 	(I)	is the total of all final (i.e., third) installment payments due to Participants under this section 3.6(b)(2) for the Plan Year; and 

  

	 	(II)	is the total amount of all final (i.e., third) installment payments that could be made for such Plan Year without triggering settlement accounting for the Plan Year.


  

	 	(ii)	The aggregate excess amount for the Plan Year (as determined under section 3.6(b)(2)(B)(i)) shall be allocated among the Participants who are otherwise entitled to their final
installment payments in the Plan Year in proportion to the amount of each individual’s final installment payment. 

  

	 	(iii)	The installment payment actually made to each such Participant for the Plan Year shall equal the difference between (I) and (II) where— 

  

	 	(I)	is the installment payment the Participant would otherwise be entitled to for the Plan Year without regard to this section 3.6(b)(2)(B); and 

  

	 	(II)	is the Participant’s proportionate share of the aggregate excess amount determined under section 3.6(b)(2)(B)(ii). 

  

	 	(iv)	Each affected Participant will then receive an additional payment during the next following Plan Year equal to the amount by which his or her third installment payment was reduced
under section 3.6(b)(2)(B)(iii), provided such payment would not itself trigger settlement accounting for such Plan Year under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 88 (or any successor to such statement). If such payment would
trigger settlement accounting, the Committee will continue to apply the procedures described in this section 3.6(b)(2)(B) until the Participant has received a complete distribution of his or her final payment. 

  

	 	(C)	Electing an Optional Form. An election of the optional form of payment described in this section 3.6(b)(2) must be made by the Participant at a time and in a manner
prescribed by the Committee, but not later than June 30, 2008. 

  

 21 









	 	(D)	Death of the Participant after the Benefit Commencement Date. If a Participant who has elected the optional form of payment described in this section 3.6(b)(2) dies after the
benefit commencement date specified in section 3.2(c), 3.3(c), or 3.4(c) (as applicable), but before receiving all three installments, the remaining installments shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary at the same time as such
installments would have been paid to the Participant.

 Article 8.Financing and Administration 
 8.1 Financing 
  

	(a)	General Creditors. The Plan constitutes a mere promise of the Company to make payments in accordance with the terms of the Plan. This Plan does not give any Participant or
Beneficiary any interest, lien, or claim in or against any specific assets of the Company or any Affiliate. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall have only the rights of general, unsecured creditors of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to
their rights under the Plan. 

  

	(b)	Allocation Among Employers. The obligation to pay Plan benefits shall be the obligation of the Employers whose Employees are Participants entitled to such benefits. Except to
the extent provided in subsection (c), each Employer shall provide the benefits described in the Plan to its Employees from its general assets. However, the Company may, in its sole discretion, allocate the total liability to pay benefits under the
Plan among the Employers in such manner and amounts as it deems appropriate. 

  

	(c)	Alternative Funding. The Company may, but shall not be required to, establish a grantor trust as a funding source for its obligations under the Plan. If such a trust is
established, it shall constitute an unfunded arrangement for purposes of the Plan, and the Plan shall continue to be an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated
employees under ERISA. With respect to any Participant, the assets of any such trust shall remain subject to the claims of the creditors of that Participant’s Employer in the event of the Employer’s bankruptcy or insolvency. However, to
the extent that funds placed in a trust and allocable to the benefits payable under the Plan are sufficient, the trust assets may be used to pay benefits under the Plan. If such trust assets are not sufficient to pay all benefits due under the Plan,
then the appropriate Employer shall have the obligation, and the Participant or Beneficiary who is due such benefits shall look to such Employer to provide such benefits. 

 8.2 The Committee 
 The Plan shall be administered by the Committee created through the adoption of a resolution by
the Board providing for at least three, but no more than seven, Employees holding certain job titles will serve as Committee members. A Committee member will lose his or her status as such if he or she ceases to hold the job title specified in the
Board resolution. In that case, the successor to such job title shall become a member of the Committee. In addition, any member of the Committee may resign by delivering his or her written resignation to the Board. 
 8.3 Manner of Action 
 A majority of the members of the Committee at
the time in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. All resolutions adopted, and other actions taken by the Committee at any meeting shall be by the vote of a majority of those present at any such meeting. Upon obtaining
the written consent of a majority of the members at the time in office, action of the Committee may be taken otherwise than at a meeting.

 Article 9. Amendment and Termination 
 9.1 Amendments 
 The Company must necessarily and does hereby reserve the right to amend or modify the Plan at any
time by action of the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board. Any amendment shall be in writing and executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company or a member of the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board. However, no amendment
will be permitted which would have the effect of reducing or eliminating any benefits earned by a Participant (including both vested and nonvested benefits) under the Plan as of the later of the date on which the amendment is adopted or the date on
which the amendment is effective. 
 9.2 Termination and Liquidation of Plan 
 The Company, through action of the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board, reserves the right to terminate and liquidate the Plan, or any portions of the Plan, at any time, for any reason provided such action
does not result in the assessment of additional tax and/or interest under Code section 409A. Any such action shall be taken by such committee in the form of a written Plan amendment executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company or a member of
the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board. However, no action taken under this section 9.2 shall have the effect of decreasing the level of benefits which a Participant would be entitled to receive under the Plan if he or she incurred a
Separation from Service with the Company and all Affiliates on the later of: 
  

	(a)	The date the resolution to terminate and discontinue the Plan is adopted, or 

  

	(b)	The date the resolution to terminate and discontinue the Plan is effective. 

 If the Plan (or portion of the Plan) is terminated under this section 9.2, all Plan benefits affected by such termination that are earned as of the effective date of such termination shall be treated as fully vested and nonforfeitable and
shall be distributed in a single sum as of any date (as determined by the Committee) that would not result in the assessment of additional tax and/or interest under Code section 409A. 
 9.3 Successors 
 In case of the merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution or reorganization of an Employer, or
the sale by an Employer of all or substantially all of its assets, provision may be made by written agreement between the Company and any successor corporation acquiring or receiving a substantial part of the Employer’s assets, whereby the Plan
shall be continued by the successor. If the Plan is to be continued by the successor, then effective as of the date of the reorganization or transfer, the successor corporation shall be substituted for the Employer under the Plan. To the extent
applicable, such written agreement may also specify no later than the closing date of an asset purchase transaction, whether Employees covered by the transaction shall incur a Separation from Service. The substitution of a successor corporation for
an Employer shall not in any way be considered a termination of the Plan. 
  

 52 








 9.4 Prohibition on Changes Due to Code Section 409A 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan may not be amended or terminated in any manner that would result in the assessment of additional taxes under Code section 409A, as
determined by the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion and in accordance with the advice of counsel. 
 9.5 Employer
Participation and Termination 
 The Board or, if authorized by the Board, the Committee may designate any Affiliate as an Employer under this Plan. The
Affiliate shall become an Employer and a party to this Plan upon acceptance of such designation effective as of the date specified by the Board or Committee. 
  

	(a)	Conditions of Participation. By accepting such designation or continuing as a party to the Plan, each Employer acknowledges that: 

  

	 	(1)	It is bound by such terms and conditions relating to the Plan as the Company or the Committee may reasonably require; 

  

	 	(2)	It has authorized the Company and the Committee to act on its behalf with respect to Employer matters pertaining to the Plan; and 

  

	 	(3)	It shall cooperate fully with the Plan officials and their agents by providing such information and taking such other actions, as they deem appropriate for the efficient
administration of the Plan. 

  

	(b)	Withdrawal by Affiliate. Subject to the concurrence of the Board or Committee, any Affiliate may withdraw from the Plan, and end its status as an Employer hereunder, by
communicating in writing to the Committee its desire to withdraw. The withdrawal shall be effective as of the date agreed to by Board or Committee, as the case may be, and the Affiliate. Upon such withdrawal, the Plan shall not be terminated with
respect to such Affiliate until all Plan benefits have been distributed to Participants affected by such termination in accordance with other provisions of this Plan. 

  

	(c)	Termination by Company. The Company, acting through the Board or, if authorized by the Board, the Committee, reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at any time, to
terminate the participation in this Plan of any Employer. Such termination shall be effective immediately upon the notice of such termination from the Company and the Employer being terminated, whichever occurs first, or such later effective date
agreed to by the Company. Upon such termination, this Plan shall not be terminated with respect to such Affiliate until all Plan benefits have been distributed to Participants affected by such termination in accordance with other provisions of this
Plan. 

  

 53 








 Article 10. Miscellaneous Provisions

 It is the intention of the Company that the benefits payable hereunder shall not be deductible by the
Employers nor taxable for federal income tax purposes to Participants or Beneficiaries until such benefits are paid by the Employers to such Participants or Beneficiaries. Without limiting the foregoing, it is intended that the Plan meet the
requirements of Code section 409A and the Committee shall use its reasonable best efforts to interpret and administer the Plan in accordance with such requirements. When benefits are paid hereunder, it is the intention of the Company that they
shall be deductible by the Employers under Code section 162. 
 10.2 Withholding on Distributions

discretion, distribute to the surviving spouse in a single lump sum payment all preretirement death benefits to which he or she is entitled to under Article 3 and Article 4 if all of such surviving spouse’s other nonaccount balance plan
benefits are also paid in a single lump sum payment as of the same date.

section 409A in its sole discretion as it deems advisable. 
 10.5 No Enlargement of Employment Rights

Employee or Participant, Beneficiary, or alternate payee, or to be consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of, the employment of any Employee. Nothing contained in this Plan or any modification of the same or act done in pursuance
hereof shall be construed as giving any person any legal or equitable right against the Employer, unless specifically provided herein, or as giving any person a right to be retained in the employ of the Employer. All Participants shall remain
subject to assignment, reassignment, promotion, transfer, layoff, reduction, suspension, and discharge to the same extent as if this Plan had never been established. 
  

 55 








 10.6 Non-Alienation 
  

	(a)	Except as otherwise permitted by the Plan, no benefit payable at any time under the Plan shall be subject to the debts or liabilities of a Participant or his or her Beneficiary. Any
attempt to alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise encumber any such benefit, whether presently or thereafter payable, shall be void. Except as provided in this Plan section, no benefit under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to

child support, alimony payments, or marital property rights of a spouse, former spouse, child, or other dependent of a Participant and for notifying Participants and alternate payees of the receipt of such orders and of the Plan’s procedures
for determining if the orders are domestic relations orders and for administering distributions under domestic relations orders. 

  

	 	(2)	Except as may otherwise be required by applicable law, such domestic relations orders may not require a retroactive transfer of all or part of a Participant’s Plan benefits.


 10.7 Code Section 409A Aggregation Rules 
 The Company has the authority to provide to any individual or individuals selected by the Company or Committee benefits under the Plan or under a separate agreement, method, program or other arrangement. To the extent that any such separate
agreement, method or arrangement constitutes an “account balance plan” (as defined in section 10.3(c)(2)), it shall be aggregated with the benefits provided under Articles 5 and 6 to the extent required by Code section 409A. To the extent
that any such separate agreement, method or arrangement constitutes a “nonaccount balance plan” (as defined in section 10.3(c)(1)), it shall be aggregated with the benefits provided under Articles 3, 4, and 7 to the extent required by Code
section 409A. 
 10.8 No Examination or Accounting 
 Neither this Plan nor any action taken thereunder shall be construed as giving any person the right to an accounting or to examine the books or affairs of the Company or any Affiliate.

the Plan shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent and of age until the date on which the Committee receives a written notice, in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee, that such person is incompetent or a minor, for whom a
guardian or other person legally vested with the care of his or her person or estate has been appointed. However, if the Committee finds that any person to whom a 

  

 56 








 
benefit is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of incompetency, or is a minor, any payment due (unless a prior claim
therefore shall have been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may be paid instead to the guardian of such person or to the person having custody of such person, without further liability on the part of an Employer for the amount of such
payment to the person on whose account such payment is made. 
 10.10 Records Conclusive 
 The records of the Company, Employer and the Committee shall be conclusive in respect to all matters involved in the administration of the Plan. 
 10.11 Service of Legal Process 
 The members of the Committee and the Secretary of the Company are hereby designated
agents of the Plan for the purpose of receiving service of summons, subpoena, or other legal process.

with Code section 414(u).
