RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN 
 (JANUARY 1, 2013 RESTATEMENT) 







 THE J. M. SMUCKER COMPANY 

TOP MANAGEMENT SUPPLEMENTAL 
 RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN 
 (JANUARY 1, 2013 RESTATEMENT) 

The J. M. Smucker Company Top Management Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan was established effective January 1, 1985, and amended
and restated effective May 1, 1994, for the purpose of supplementing the retirement benefits of certain officers and other key management employees of The J. M. Smucker Company and its subsidiaries who are selected to participate in the Plan,
and is intended to provide benefits for career employees of an Employer. The Plan was again amended and restated in its entirety, effective May 1, 1999, for individuals who retired, died or entered into pay status on or after August 1,
1998 to reflect the benefit changes made by the May 1, 1999 plan restatement beginning with the calendar month following the date on which the individual retired, died or entered into pay status, and was further amended effective
November 1, 2003, as to individuals who retired, died or otherwise terminated employment as of that date. The Plan has been operated in good faith compliance with the provisions of Code §409A and the regulations and other guidance
promulgated thereunder. The Company amended and restated the Plan in good faith, effective January 1, 2005, in order to comply with Code §409A and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder. The Company amended and restated
the Plan again, effective January 1, 2009, to clarify certain provisions in order to more fully assure that the Plan was compliant with Code §409A. 
 The Plan was amended, effective January 1, 2011, to address the calculation of benefits that are delayed after Separation from Service, and to clarify both the impact of a lump sum election and the
interest rate used in determining such lump sum. The Plan was further amended, effective August 16, 2011, to provide Mr. Timothy P. Smucker (“Mr. Smucker”) with the same level of benefits under the Plan that he would be
entitled to receive if he ceased providing 







 
services to the Company on such effective date, i.e., approximately $11.4 million. Finally, the Plan was amended, effective January 1, 2012, to clarify the calculation of benefits the
commencement of which is delayed beyond the Benefit Target Date, as well as to clarify the calculation of benefits the start date of which does not coincide with the Annuity Starting Date, as defined in the Retirement Plan. The Company now amends
and restates the Plan again to incorporate those previous amendments into the Plan document and to clarify the rules regarding the election of benefits.

 ARTICLE II 
 SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS 
 2.1 Vesting and Distribution Events;
Separation from Service. In order to be vested in his Monthly Retirement Benefit hereunder, a Participant must have ten (10) Years of Service (five (5) Years of Service with respect to death benefits) or be employed by the Employer on
his Normal Retirement Date. Distribution of vested benefits with respect to a Participant under the Plan, other than a Grandfathered Benefit, will be payable as set forth herein, based on the earliest to occur of such Participant’s Separation
from Service, death (to which Article III applies), or Total Disability (to which Section 2.2 applies) or the April 1 following the calendar year in which such Participant attains age 70-1/2, and provided that if death occurs prior to
benefit 

  
 -7-









 
commencement, Article III shall also be applicable. (For this purpose, in the event death or Total Disability causes a Separation from Service, such death or Total Disability, as applicable,
shall be deemed to occur earlier than the Separation from Service.) 
 If Separation from Service is the earliest such event for
a Participant, then the vested Monthly Retirement Benefit shall be paid to such eligible Participant in an amount determined pursuant to Section 2.3, commencing as of the first day of the month following the later of his attainment of age 55 or
his Separation from Service, except as such payment may be restricted by Section 8.15, and shall be payable monthly thereafter in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4, in the form of an optional form of benefit elected under
Section 2.5 (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E), or in a single lump sum payment if elected under Section 2.6, and provided that the Participant’s election is made in accordance with Section 2.7. 

If the April 1 following the calendar year in which such Participant attains age 70-1/2 is the earliest such event for a Participant,
then the vested Monthly Retirement Benefit shall be paid to such eligible Participant in an amount determined pursuant to Section 2.3, commencing as of such April 1, and shall be payable monthly thereafter in accordance with the terms of
Section 2.4, in the form of an optional form of benefit elected under Section 2.5(A), (B), (C), (D) or (E), or in a single lump sum payment if elected under Section 2.6, and provided that the Participant’s election is made
in accordance with Section 2.7. 
 2.2 Totally Disabled. A Participant for whom Total Disability is the first
distribution event described in Section 2.1 shall be eligible for a Monthly Retirement at his Normal Retirement Date. The Monthly Retirement Benefit shall be paid to such eligible totally Disabled Participant in an amount determined pursuant to
Section 2.3, commencing as of the first day of the month following his Normal Retirement Date, except as such payment may be restricted by 

  
 -8-









 
Section 8.15, and shall be payable monthly thereafter in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4, in the form of an optional form of benefit elected under Section 2.5(A), (B),
(C), (D) or (E), or in a single lump sum payment if elected under Section 2.6, and provided that the Participant’s election is made in accordance with Section 2.7. 

2.3 Amount of Monthly Retirement Benefit. A Participant whose Monthly Retirement Benefit commences on or after his Normal
Retirement Date shall be eligible for a normal retirement Monthly Retirement Benefit in an amount equal to: 
  

	 	(a)	two and one-half percent of his Final Average Monthly Salary multiplied by his Years of Service, not to exceed 20 years, plus an additional one percent for each Year of
Service after 20 years not to exceed an additional 5 years; less 

  

	 	(b)	100 percent of his Social Security Offset Amount; less 

  

	 	(c)	the amount of his monthly retirement benefit under the Retirement Plan. In calculating the amount of the offset under this paragraph (c), benefits attributable to
Participant contributions under the supplemental portion of the Retirement Plan shall be disregarded. However, benefits attributable to Company contributions under the supplemental portion of the Retirement Plan, which are subject to this offset,
shall be calculated as those benefits which the Participant would have been eligible to receive, assuming he had contributed to the supplemental portion of the Retirement Plan for all periods for which he was eligible to contribute, regardless of
whether such contributions were actually made or not, less amounts determined under Section 2.3(d); less 

  

	 	(d)	the annuitized amount based on a hypothetical account balance as a result of the Company matching contribution added to the J.M. Smucker Company Employee Savings Plan
(the “Savings Plan”). The amount to be offset, if applicable, is shown in Addendum II. 

 Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, the Monthly Retirement Benefit payable to Mr. Smucker shall be calculated as if Mr. Smucker had ceased providing services to the Company on August 16, 2011. 

  
 -9-









 A Participant whose Monthly Retirement Benefit commences prior to his Normal Retirement Date
shall be eligible for an early retirement Monthly Retirement Benefit in an amount determined in the same manner as provided for a normal retirement Monthly Retirement Benefit, except that 

(1) the amount determined in Section 2.3(a) above shall be reduced by one-third of one percent for each full month by which
commencement of payment of the benefit precedes the month following the date on which the Participant attains age 62; 
 (2) the
amount determined under Section 2.3(b) above shall be determined at the later of the Participant’s current age or age 62; 
 (3) the amount determined under Section 2.3(c) above shall be determined at the date of commencement of the early retirement Monthly Retirement Benefit, regardless of when the benefit under the
Retirement Plan actually commences; and 
 (4) the amount determined under Section 2.3(d) shall be determined based on the
age at commencement of the early retirement Monthly Retirement Benefit. 
 2.4 Normal Form of Payment. 

(A) A Participant who becomes eligible to receive a Monthly Retirement Benefit and who is married at the time payment of
his Monthly Retirement Benefit commences shall receive payment of a reduced benefit in the form of a qualified joint and survivor annuity that in the event of the Participant’s death would provide a benefit to the Participant’s surviving
spouse equal to 50 percent of the benefit the Participant was receiving at the time of his death unless a Participant elects to receive such benefit in the form of a single life annuity, or an optional form of payment is elected (as provided in
Section 2.7) under Section 2.5 or Section 2.6 of this Plan. To receive a benefit under the qualified joint and survivor form of payment, a Participant’s surviving spouse must be the same spouse to whom the Participant was married
at the time payment of his Monthly Retirement Benefit commenced. 

  
 -10-









 The present value of the qualified joint and survivor annuity payable to a Participant
hereunder shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the present value of the single life annuity otherwise payable to him under the Plan. 
 (B) A Participant who becomes eligible to receive a Monthly Retirement Benefit and who is unmarried at the time payment of his Monthly Retirement Benefit commences shall receive payment of such benefit in
the form of a single life annuity unless an optional form of payment is elected (as provided in Section 2.7) under Section 2.5 or Section 2.6 of the Plan. Such Participant shall receive an unreduced Monthly Retirement Benefit payable
for his lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which his death occurs. 
 2.5 Optional Forms of
Payment. 
 A Participant may elect to receive his supplemental retirement benefit under one of the following optional forms
of payment or in the form of a single lump sum payment in accordance with Section 2.6, provided that such Participant’s election is made at the time and in such form as provided in Section 2.7: 

(A) Option A — 100% Joint and Survivor Annuity. The Participant shall receive a reduced Monthly Retirement
Benefit payable for his lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which his death occurs. If the Participant’s beneficiary survives him, then commencing with the month following the month in which his death occurs, his
beneficiary shall receive a continuing monthly benefit equal to such reduced amount for such beneficiary’s lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which the death of the beneficiary occurs. 

  
 -11-









 (B) Option B — 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity. The Participant
shall receive a reduced Monthly Retirement Benefit payable for his lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which his death occurs. If the Participant’s beneficiary survives him, then commencing with the month following the
month in which his death occurs, his beneficiary shall receive a continuing monthly benefit equal to one-half of such reduced amount for such beneficiary’s lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which the death of the
beneficiary occurs. 
 (C) Option C — 66 2/3% Joint and Survivor Annuity. The Participant shall
receive a reduced Monthly Retirement Benefit payable for his lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which his death occurs. If the Participant’s beneficiary survives him, then commencing with the month following the month in
which his death occurs, his beneficiary shall receive a continuing monthly benefit equal to two-thirds of such reduced amount for such beneficiary’s lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which the death of the beneficiary
occurs. 
 (D) Option D — 75% Joint and Survivor Annuity. The Participant shall receive a reduced
Monthly Retirement Benefit payable for his lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which his death occurs. If the Participant’s beneficiary survives him, then commencing with the month following the month in which his death
occurs, his beneficiary shall receive a continuing monthly benefit equal to three-quarters of such reduced amount for such beneficiary’s lifetime, the last monthly payment being for the month in which the death of the beneficiary occurs.


  
 -12-









 (E) Option E — Ten-Year Certain and Life Annuity. The
Participant shall receive a reduced Monthly Retirement Benefit payable for his lifetime, with the continuance after his death to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by him of a monthly benefit equal to such reduced amount for the remainder,
if any, of the ten-year term commencing with the Participant’s beginning payment date. If any monthly benefit payments remain unpaid upon the death of the survivor of the Participant and his beneficiary, the remaining payments shall be made to
the estate of such survivor. 
 A Participant’s beneficiary may be any person or persons selected by such Participant with
his spouse’s consent. The reduced monthly payments to be made to a Participant under one of the optional forms of payment provided in Section 2.5 (A) - (E) shall be in an amount which, on the date of commencement thereof, is the
Actuarial Equivalent of the monthly benefit otherwise payable to the Participant under the Plan in lieu of which the option was elected, taking into account the age of the Participant and the age of his beneficiary. 

2.6 Single Lump Sum Form of Payment and Adjustment for Delay. A Participant may elect, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.7, to receive his supplemental retirement benefit in the form of a single lump sum payment. The Participant shall receive a payment in a single lump sum in an amount equal, except as provided below, to the Actuarial Equivalent,
determined in accordance with Section 1.12 of the Plan, of the benefit that would otherwise have been payable to the Participant at the “Benefit Target Date” as defined below. 

To the extent that commencement of any vested benefit in any form under this Plan (including a death benefit to which Article III applies)
is delayed beyond the “Benefit Target Date,” which shall be the first day of the month following the latest of: 
  

	 	(a)	vesting; 

  

	 	(b)	attainment of age 55; or 


  
 -13-










	 	(c)	Separation from Service (or if Total Disability is the event triggering distribution, then the later of Total Disability or Normal Retirement Date (or such other date,
including the date of Total Disability, with reference to which such benefits are payable pursuant to section 8.10)), 

 including
if such delay is as a result of Section 8.15 regarding the six-month delay for Specified Employees, such benefit shall be adjusted (the “Adjusted Benefit”) for such delay by: 

 

	 	(d)	in the event the Benefit Target Date is prior to age 62, determining the Monthly Retirement Benefit as indicated in Section 2.3 as of the earlier of the delayed
date of commencement or age 62. Any optional form of payment chosen, including a lump sum, will be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Monthly Retirement Benefit as of the earlier of the date of commencement or age 62 based on assumptions set forth in
Section 1.12 as of the earlier of the delayed date of commencement or age 62. For a delay of commencement that extends past age 62, the benefit determined in this subsection will be further adjusted according to subsections (e) or
(f) as applicable. 

  

	 	(e)	for delays in commencement beyond age 62 and in the event the benefit is payable in the form of a single lump sum benefit: 


(1) determining the single lump sum benefit which would have otherwise been payable on the later of the Benefit Target Date or age 62, if
so permitted under the Plan terms (generally, the Actuarial Equivalent of the Monthly Retirement Benefit as of the later of the Benefit Target Date or age 62, based on the assumptions set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of
Section 1.12 as of such date); and 
 (2) increasing such single lump sum benefit with interest for the period from the
later of the Benefit Target Date or age 62 through the date of benefit commencement at the interest rate determined in subsection (b) of Section 1.12 as of the later of the Benefit Target Date or age 62; and 

 

	 	(f)	for delays in commencement beyond age 62 and in the event the benefit is payable in the form of an annuity: 


(1) determining the Monthly Retirement Benefit (as a monthly benefit payable in a single life annuity form) commencing on the date of
benefit commencement which is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Monthly Retirement Benefit which would have otherwise been payable commencing at the later of the Benefit Target Date or age 62, with such Actuarial Equivalent determined as of the later
of the Benefit Target Date or age 62, based on the assumptions set forth Section 1.12 as of such date; and 

  
 -14-









 (2) using such adjusted Monthly Retirement Benefit determined in item (f)(1) above (or, if
greater, the Monthly Retirement Benefit otherwise determined under Section 2.3 on the date of benefit commencement) as the basis for determining the amount of such benefit (and, in the event such annuity is in the form other than a single life
annuity, converting the single life annuity amount into an Actuarial Equivalent annuity commencing as of the date of benefit commencement in such other annuity form as is applicable hereunder, based on the assumptions set forth in Section 1.12
as of such date). 
 This provision, and any adjustment under it, shall apply to the total value of any benefit so delayed, but
such adjustment shall not change the dollar amount (or the time or form) of the participant’s benefit which constitutes a Grandfathered Benefit hereunder (so that the total amount of any increase pursuant to such adjustment shall constitute a
new benefit, over and above any Grandfathered Benefit hereunder, and any Grandfathered Benefit shall be unaffected, continue to be entitled to grandfather treatment and remain subject to the provisions of Addendum I). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6, the Benefit Target Date for Mr. Smucker will be August 16,
2011, and the amount of any benefit paid to Mr. Smucker as a single lump sum form of benefit at any time from September 1, 2014 through April 1, 2015 shall be based on a date of payment of September 1, 2014. 

2.7 Election of Form of Benefit. Elections with respect to Grandfathered Benefits shall be made in accordance with Addendum I. Each
Participant shall make an election to receive his (Non-Grandfathered Benefits) supplemental retirement benefit either (1) in the normal form of payment under the Plan as provided in Section 2.4, (2) in one of the optional forms of
benefit provided in Section 2.5, or (3) as a single lump sum form of benefit under Section 2.6. A newly eligible Participant shall make an election within thirty days of first becoming eligible under the Plan. If a Participant does
not file an election under this Section 2.7, the payment of any Benefit hereunder shall be made in a single lump sum distribution. A Participant may change his election regarding the time or form of payment, provided he complies with the rules
of this Section 2.7. 

  
 -15-









 Subsequent changes to an election of an alternative form of distribution, or any election to
defer the commencement of distribution, shall not be effective unless the election satisfies the following requirements: 
  

	 	(a)	a change of election will not be effective until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which it is filed by the Participant with the Company;


  

	 	(b)	a change of election with respect to a payment commencing on, or made on, a specified date may not be filed with the Company less than twelve (12) months prior to
such date; 

  

	 	(c)	a change of election with respect to a time of payment or a method of payment must provide that the payment subject to the change be deferred for a period of not less
than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made except in the event of a payment made on account of the Participant’s death or Total Disability; and 


 

	 	(d)	if a Participant has made an election to receive his benefit in the normal form of payment provided in Section 2.4 or one of the Actuarially Equivalent optional
forms of benefit provided in Section 2.5, then the election between the normal form of benefit and among the optional forms of benefit provided in Section 2.5 may be made no later than the time of distribution and shall not require the
five (5) year deferral provided in subsection (c) of this Section 2.7. 

 The Company may impose
such other restrictions and limitations on subsequent changes to an election of an alternative form of distribution or any election to defer the commencement of distribution as it deems appropriate.

 -16-









 3.2 If a Participant who has at least five (5) Years of Service should die prior to the
commencement of benefit payments under the Plan, and if the Participant had a surviving spouse as defined in the Retirement Plan, the surviving spouse shall be eligible for payments as if the Participant had effectively elected Option B — 50%
Joint and Survivor Annuity described under Section 2.5 and designated his spouse as his beneficiary, commencing as set forth in Section 3.3.

 8.3 Interest of Participant. The obligation of the Company under the Plan to provide
the Participant with benefits hereunder merely constitutes the unsecured promise of the Company to make payments as provided herein, and the Participant shall have no interest in, and no lien or prior claim upon, any property of the Company or of
any Subsidiary. 
 8.4 Claims of Other Persons. The provisions of the Plan shall in no event be construed as giving any
person, firm or corporation, any legal or equitable rights as against the Company, its officers, employees, or directors, except any such rights as are specifically provided for in the Plan or are hereafter created in accordance with the terms of
the Plan. 
 8.5 No Competition. The right of any Participant, surviving spouse, or other beneficiary to a supplemental
retirement benefit under the Plan will be terminated, or, if payment thereof has begun, all further payments will be discontinued and forfeited in the event the Participant (i) at any time wrongfully discloses any secret process or trade secret
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) engages, either directly or indirectly, as an officer, trustee, employee, consultant, partner, or substantial shareholder, on his own account or in any other capacity, in a business venture
within the ten-year period following his retirement or termination of employment that the Company’s board of directors reasonably determines to be competitive with the Company to a degree materially contrary to the Company’s best interest.

 8.6 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of the Plan shall not affect any other

employment with an Employer is terminated because the Company determines the Participant (i) engaged in dishonest or fraudulent acts against an Employer, (ii) willfully injured property of an Employer, (iii) conspired against an
Employer, or (iv) disclosed confidential information concerning an Employer, then no supplemental retirement benefit shall be payable to the Participant or his surviving spouse under the Plan. 

8.10 Employment Agreements. The terms of this Plan shall be superseded by the terms of any Employment Agreement or other Agreement
between a Participant and an Employer. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Plan and any such Agreement, the Agreement shall control. 
 8.11 Distribution of Small Amounts. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if, at any time following Separation from Service, the Actuarial Equivalent value of a
Participant’s Monthly Retirement Benefit is less than $10,000, the Company may elect to distribute such Monthly Retirement Benefit in a single lump sum payment regardless of the Participant’s election. 

8.12 Distributions of Amounts in Excess of Code § 162(m). Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no
amount may be distributed from the Plan if the Company reasonably anticipates that such amount would not be deductible under Code 162(m), as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and in accordance with Code § 409A
and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder. 

  
 -21-









 8.13 Distributions of Amounts Deemed Includable in Gross Income. Notwithstanding any
provisions of the Plan to the contrary, if, at any time, a court or the Internal Revenue Service determines that an amount of a Participant’s benefit hereunder is includable in the gross income of the Participant and subject to tax, the Board
of Directors of the Company may, in its sole discretion, and in accordance with Code § 409A and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, permit a lump sum distribution of an amount equal to the amount determined to be includable in the
Participant’s gross income. 
 8.14 Distributions of Amounts in Violation of Securities Laws.
Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, a payment under the Plan may be delayed if the
Company, reasonably anticipates that the making of such
payment will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law, in the Company’s sole discretion, and in accordance with Code §409A and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, provided that the payment is made on the
earliest at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation. 
 8.15
Six-Month Delay of Distributions to Specified Employees. Under no circumstances, other than death, will a Participant who is a Specified Employee, as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, receive a distribution under
the Plan earlier than six (6) months following such Participant’s Separation from Service, provided that this provision shall not apply to only distribution of a Grandfathered Benefit. 

  
 -22-









 8.16 Compliance with Code §409A. To the extent applicable, it is intended that
this Plan and any accrual of compensation made hereunder comply with the provisions of Code §409A. This Plan and any accrual of compensation made hereunder shall be administrated in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provisions that
would cause this Plan or any grant made hereunder to fail to satisfy Code §409A shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Code §409A (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Code §409A and may
be made by the Company without the consent of Participants). Any reference in this Plan to Code §409A will also include any proposed temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to Code §409A by the U.S.

this Plan and the Company shall have no responsibility for tax or legal consequences to any Participant (or Beneficiary) resulting from the terms or operation of this Plan.

 APPENDIX A 
 CLAIMS PROCEDURE 
 Section 1.1 Claims Reviewer. For purposes of
handling claims with respect to this Plan, the “Claims Reviewer” shall be the benefits committee, unless another person or organizational unit is designated by the Company as Claims Reviewer. 

Section 1.2 Claims for Benefits. An initial claim for benefits under the Plan must be made by the Participant or his or her
beneficiary in accordance with the terms of the Plan through which the benefits are provided. Not later than 90 days after receipt of such a claim, the Claims Reviewer will render a written decision on the claim to the claimant, unless special
circumstances require the extension of such 90-day period. If such extension is necessary, the Claims Reviewer shall provide the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary with written notification of such extension before the expiration of
the initial 90-day period. Such notice shall specify the reason or reasons for such extension and the date by which a final decision can be expected. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of 90 days from the end of the initial 90-day
period. 
 In the event the Claims Reviewer denies the claim of a Participant or the beneficiary in whole or in part, the Claims
Reviewer’s written notification shall specify, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, the reason for the denial; a reference to the Plan or other document or form that is the basis for the denial: a description of any
additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim; an explanation as to why such information or material is necessary; and an explanation of the applicable claims procedure. 

  
 -24-









 Should the claim be denied in whole or in part and should the claimant be dissatisfied with
the Claims Reviewer’s disposition of the claimant’s claim, the claimant may have a full and fair review of the claim by the Company (but not the same person who reviewed the initial claim, or subordinate of such person) upon written
request therefore submitted by the claimant or the claimant’s duly authorized representative and received by the Company within 60 days after the claimant receives written notification that the claimant’s claim has been denied in
connection with such review, the claimant or the claimant’s duly authorized representative shall be entitled to review pertinent documents and submit the claimant’s views as to the issues, in writing. The Company shall act to deny or
accept the claim within 60 days after receipt of the claimant’s written request for review unless special circumstances require the extension of such 60-day period. If such extension is necessary, the Company shall provide the claimant with
written notification of such extension before the expiration of such initial 60-day period. In all events, the Company shall act to deny or accept the claim within 120 days of the receipt of the claimant’s written request for review. The action
of the Company shall be in the form of a written notice to the claimant and its contents shall include all of the requirements for action on the original claim. 
 In no event may a claimant commence legal action for benefits the claimant believes are due to the claimant until the claimant has exhausted all of the remedies and procedures afforded the claimant by
this Appendix A.

 ADDENDUM II 
 On January 1, 2008, the Company froze benefit accruals under the Retirement Plan for participants age 40 and under, and amended the Savings Plan to provide an enhanced Company matching contribution.

 The table below represents the amount to be offset for Mark Smucker and Paul Wagstaff, as provided in Section 2.3(d) of the Plan. The
offset represents the annuitized benefit provided by the enhanced Company match contribution established January 1, 2008. 
 The table is
based on a hypothetical balance created by a 3% Company match paid starting January 1, 2008 and made each year until the executive reaches the retirement ages listed below. This amount assumes yearly increases in CP1 of 3.0% and investment
earnings of 7.5%. The balance is annuitized using the RP2000 Mortality Table to reflect benefits accruing under the enhanced matching contribution provided under the Savings Plan without any adjustment projected to 2020 using Scale AA and a 7.5%
discount rate. 
 The assumptions used to determine the hypothetical balances and annuitized benefits are intended to be long term assumptions,
The Company may review these assumptions and modify them in the future if appropriate. New annuitized benefit amounts will be determined based on any revised assumptions, replacing the amounts below.
