amended and restated herein. The Plan shall be an unfunded severance pay plan that is a welfare plan as such term is defined by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (“ERISA”), the benefits of which shall be paid

Eligible Employees of Participating Companies, as those terms are defined in Article 2 below, who are involuntarily terminated by the Participating Company. The Plan shall be interpreted and administered in a manner that is consistent with this
intent. 
 1.3 Effect on Other Plans Sponsored by A Participating Company. Nothing herein is intended to or shall be
construed to require the Company or a Participating Company to institute or continue in effect any particular plan or benefit sponsored by a Participating Company. The Company and any Participating Companies hereby reserve the right to amend or
terminate any benefit plans or programs, including this Plan, at any time in accordance with the procedures set forth in such plans or programs.

prior to the payment of the annual bonus amount for the prior calendar year, in addition to any amount otherwise determined under this Section 2.24, the Participant’s Pro Rata Bonus shall include the actual annual bonus amount that would
have been paid to the Participant for such prior calendar year but for his termination with a Participating Company.

pursuant to the terms of the applicable Retirement Plan. Payment by the Participating Company of any amount under this Plan in any period subsequent to the Employee’s separation from the Participating Company’s regular payroll does not
alter or extend his Termination Date. 
 2.31 “Years of Service” shall mean the total of an Employee’s
Months of Service divided by twelve (12) rounded to the nearest whole year, rounding up if the remaining number of months is seven (7) or greater and rounding down if the remaining number of months is less than seven (7). 
 ARTICLE 3 - ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS 
 3.1 Eligibility to Receive Benefits. Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 3.2, any Eligible Employee of a Participating Company whose employment is involuntarily terminated (as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) on or after the Effective Date shall be eligible to receive benefits under the Plan, the amount and type of which shall be determined by Articles 4 and 5. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, any Participant who is eligible to receive benefits under Section 5.1 and who is
otherwise age 50 or older with at least 10 Years of Service shall be deemed to have retired for purposes of all employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company or a Participating Company of which the Employee is a participant. Except as provided in
Sections 4.2(a) and 5.5(a), an Employee of a Participating Company who is deemed to have retired in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be eligible to receive benefits under this Plan, the amount and type of which shall be determined by
Articles 4 and 5. 
 3.2 Exceptions to Eligibility Criteria. An Employee of a Participating Company is not eligible to
receive the benefits under the Plan if the Employee: 
 (a) has entered into an individual employment agreement
with a Participating Company (unless such agreement specifically provides for severance benefits to be paid under this Plan); 
 (b) voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason; 
  

 6 








 (c) is terminated by a Participating Company as a result of insubordination,
violation of a Participating Company’s rules, unacceptable performance (including, but not limited to, the failure to satisfactorily carry out duties related to the Employee’s position), or failure to satisfactorily demonstrate competency
to perform the Employee’s job duties (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion); 
 (d) is
offered continued employment with a Participating Company or any Affiliate in a position with a “similar base salary” regardless of whether the Employee accepts such employment unless such employment is: (i) more than 50 miles from
the location at which the Employee was stationed immediately prior to the Termination Date, and (ii) farther from the Employee’s primary residence than was the location at which the Employee was stationed immediately prior to the
Termination Date; 
 (e) is eligible to receive the benefits of any other voluntary or involuntary severance,
separation or outplacement program maintained by a Participating Company (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion); or 
 (f) is offered a position with similar base salary, responsibilities and duties with any employer that succeeds by way of agreement, merger, sale or outsourcing contract to all or any portion of the
business of a Participating Company (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion). 
 A position shall
have a “similar base salary” if the Base Salary of the position (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) is at least 80% of the actual Straight Time Pay which the Employee is receiving in his current position. 
 3.3 Determination of Eligibility. The Committee (or its designee) shall automatically determine each person’s eligibility for
participation in this Plan prior to an Eligible Employee’s Termination Date. All determinations shall be made by the Committee in its sole and complete discretion and shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. All Eligible Employees shall
receive written notification from the Committee (or its designee) of their eligibility to receive a benefit hereunder. 
 3.4
Offset For Other Severance Benefits. To the extent permitted by law, benefits under the Plan shall be reduced by any severance pay, payments made in lieu of notice and/or any other payments made under federal (e.g., the WARN Act), state or
local law to which an Employee is, or in the future becomes, entitled (the “Other Payments”); provided, however, that no such reduction shall cause an Employee’s severance benefit calculated under Article 5 of the Plan to be less than
one week of the Employee’s Straight Time Pay. 
  

 7 








 In addition, any severance benefit amount to which any Employee may otherwise be entitled
under the Plan shall be reduced by the amount of any salary, wages or other compensation (as determined by the Plan Administrator) such Employee receives from a Participating Company with respect to any period of paid leave of absence of such
Employee that immediately precedes any permanent termination of the Employee’s employment with a Participating Company. 
 In the event that the Employee has already received a payment under Articles 4 and 5 of this Plan, and is subsequently found to be entitled to any Other Payments, the amount previously paid to the Employee under this Plan shall be
recharacterized as, and applied toward, fulfillment of the Other Payments. In such situation, benefits payable under this Plan shall be recalculated such that the amount payable under this Plan shall be the amount determined by application of
Articles 4 and 5, minus the amount of the Other Payments. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if the value of
the Other Payments exceeds the value of benefits of this Plan, then the value of any benefits the Eligible Employee is entitled to under the Plan, if any, shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 To the extent an Employee receives severance or other termination payments, or benefits from a Participating Company pursuant to an
individually negotiated employment or severance agreement, resolution of litigation, offer letter, or any other similar individual arrangement (“Individual Arrangement”), any payments and/or benefits otherwise payable to the Employee under
this Plan may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be reduced by the amount of any such payments or benefits provided to the Employee under such Individual Agreement. 
 3.5 Reemployment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, an Eligible Employee who is re-employed by a
Participating Company (a) prior to his receipt of benefits under this Plan, or (b) while he is currently receiving payments or benefits under this Plan, shall cease to be entitled to any further benefits under the Plan after the date of
re-employment and all benefit payments under the Plan will end immediately upon the Participant’s re-employment date. 
 3.6 Impact on Other Benefits. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in the applicable benefit plan or policy, all employee insurance and welfare benefits, profit-sharing match and pension accruals shall cease as of the
Participant’s Termination Date, and severance payments and benefits hereunder shall not be included as covered compensation under such benefit plans or policies. 
 3.7 Conditions on Payment of Benefits. Payment of benefits under this Plan shall be subject to and conditioned upon the Eligible Employee’s compliance with each of the following requirements:

 (a) The Eligible Employee must return all Participating Company property on or before his last day worked;

  

 8 








 (b) The Eligible Employee must continue to work in a satisfactory manner
during any notice period through the Termination Date or, if the Eligible Employee is released from performing job-related duties earlier by his manager, supervisor or other designated official, through his last day worked; 
 (c) The Eligible Employee must cooperate in transitioning all of his work in consultation with his manager, supervisor or
other designated official; and 
 (d) If the Eligible Employee elects benefits under Article 5, the Eligible
Employee must (1) submit an executed Election Form and Waiver Agreement with the Plan Administrator not later than the deadline determined by the Company and (2) must allow such Election Form and Waiver Agreement to become effective.

 3.8 Restrictive Covenant and Repayment Obligation. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, for Eligible Employees whose employment with a Participating Company is
involuntarily terminated in connection with the sale, merger, spin-off or similar transfer of some or all assets or membership interest of the Company to an unrelated entity (the “Buyer”), it shall be a condition precedent to the
obligation of the Plan to provide any payment or benefits under Articles 4 and 5 (if applicable) hereof that, at all times during the six-month period beginning the date of termination of employment (the “Restricted Period”), the Employee
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, render nor agree or promise to render services, whether directly or indirectly on behalf of any person, firm or corporation, to the Buyer or any of its affiliates, whether as an employee,
a consultant or in any other capacity (the “Restrictive Covenant”). 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, in the event an Employee shall violate the Restrictive Covenant, in addition to relieving the Plan and any Participating Company of any obligation to provide any further payment or benefits under Articles 4 and 5 (if
applicable) hereof, the Plan shall be entitled to recover the full amount of all past cash payments that the Plan shall have made pursuant to Articles 4 and 5 (if applicable) hereof. 
 ARTICLE 4 - BASIC SEVERANCE BENEFITS 
 4.1 Basic Severance
Benefit. 
 (a) A Participant who is terminated from his employment with a Participating Company shall
receive an amount equal to four (4) weeks’ Straight Time Pay. Such amount shall be paid in a lump sum payment within thirty (30) business days of the Participant’s Termination Date. 
 (b) A Participant who is terminated from his employment with a Participating Company shall be eligible to receive Employee
Outplacement Services in the amount and duration determined by the Plan Administrator or its designee and communicated to the Participant. 
  

 9 








 4.2 Basic Welfare Benefit. 
 (a) In addition to the lump sum benefit described above, the Company will pay the first month of the required contribution
due for the Participant’s COBRA Coverage for medical benefits under the Health and Welfare Plan if the Participant is eligible to elect and actually makes a complete and timely election for such COBRA Coverage. The Company shall also pay the
first month of required contributions due for COBRA Coverage for medical benefits for the Participant’s spouse and dependent children who are COBRA “qualified beneficiaries” (within the meaning of Code Section 4980B(g)(1)) as of
the Participant’s Termination Date if the Participant (or the Participant’s spouse or child) makes a complete and timely election for such COBRA Coverage. 
 The Company may terminate such payment for COBRA Coverage if COBRA Coverage is cancelled as permitted by COBRA. The one month
for which the COBRA Coverage premiums are paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) shall be a part of and not in addition to the COBRA Coverage required by law. Medical benefits under this section do not include benefits for dental,
health flexible spending, vision or employee assistance. 
 (b) In addition to the lump sum benefit described
above, the Company will pay the first three months of the required contribution due for the Participant’s COBRA Coverage for employee assistance program benefits under the Health and Welfare Plan if the Participant is eligible to elect and
actually makes a complete and timely election for such COBRA Coverage. The Company shall also pay the first three months of required contributions due for COBRA Coverage for employee assistance program benefits for the Participant’s spouse and
dependent children who are COBRA qualified beneficiaries as of the Participant’s Termination Date if the Participant makes a complete and timely election for such COBRA Coverage. Such payments begin on the first day of the month following a
Participant’s Termination Date. 
 The Company may terminate such payment for COBRA coverage if COBRA
Coverage is cancelled as permitted by COBRA. The three months for which the COBRA Coverage premiums are paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) shall be a part of and not in addition to the COBRA Coverage required by law.

 4.3 Basic Benefits in the Event of Death. In the event of the Participant’s death after his Termination Date but
prior to the payment of the benefits in Section 4.1, such benefits shall be paid to the Participant’s spouse, or if no spouse exists, to the beneficiary designated by the Participant for his life insurance under the Health and Welfare
Plan, or, if no beneficiary is so designated, to the Participant’s estate. The payment of COBRA Coverage premiums under Section 4.2 (or any unpaid portion thereof) shall be paid on behalf of a dependent if the Participant dies before
payment is complete, the dependent was a COBRA qualified beneficiary at the time of the Participant’s Termination Date and the dependent is actually covered by the Group Health and Welfare Plan immediately prior to the Participant’s death.

  

 10 








 4.4 Restructuring Terminations from July 1, 2008. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Article 4, the total cash amount provided to a Special Participant pursuant to this Article shall not be less than an amount equal to twelve (12) weeks’ Straight Time Pay. For purposes of this Section 4.4,
“Special Participant” is a Participant who meets all of the following conditions: 
 (a) The
Participant’ is terminated from his employment with a Participating Company; 
 (b) The Participant’s
Termination Date is on or after July 1, 2008. For purposes of this Section 4.4, Termination Date shall be determined by the Committee without regard to the deemed retirement date as described in Section 2.30 hereof. 
 ARTICLE 5 - ENHANCED SEVERANCE AND WELFARE BENEFITS 
 5.1 Eligibility. Any Participant may additionally elect to receive the enhanced benefits under this Article 5 if: (i) the Participant submits an executed Election Form and Waiver Agreement to
the Plan Administrator not later than the deadline determined by the Company; and (ii) allows such Election Form and Waiver Agreement to become effective. If an Election Form and Waiver Agreement is not properly executed (as determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion) and submitted by the deadline, or is revoked before its effective date, the Plan Administrator will interpret the failure or revocation as a rejection of the benefits under Article 5 of the Plan. 
 Any benefits received under this Article 5 are in addition to and not in lieu of benefits receivable under Article 4. 
 5.2 Amount of Enhanced Severance Benefit. Subject to Article 8, any Participant who meets the requirements of Section 5.1 is
eligible for the benefits described in subsection (a) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Participant is in an Eligible Employment Classification (as set forth in Section 5.2(b)) immediately prior to his Termination Date, he
shall be eligible for the benefits described in subsections (a) or (b) below, whichever is greater in value. 
 (a) an amount equal to the aggregate of the amounts in (1), (2) and (3) below: 
 (1) an
amount equal to the sum of the following: 
 (A) 4 weeks’ Straight Time Pay; 
 (B) 1 week’s Straight Time Pay for each of the Participant’s first 10 Years of Service; 
 (C) 2 weeks’ Straight Time Pay for each of the Participant’s 11th through 15th Years of Service; 
 (D) 3 weeks’ Straight Time Pay for each of the Participant’s 16th through 20th Years of Service; 
  

 11 








 (E) 4 weeks’ Straight Time Pay for each of the Participant’s 21st
through 25th Years of Service; and 
 (F) 5 weeks’ Straight Time Pay for each of the Participant’s
Years of Service in excess of 25 Years of Service. 
 (2) an amount equal to the Participant’s Pro Rata
Bonus 
 (3) an amount based on the cost to the Company to provide medical and dental benefits for a specified
period under the Health and Welfare Plan for the coverage maintained by the Participant on his Termination Date. The amount determined under this section 5.2(a)(3) shall be equal to the monthly cost to the Company to provide the same level of
medical and dental coverage maintained by the Participant as of his Termination Date for a number of months equal to the greater of (i) six (6) or (ii) the number of weeks of Straight Time Pay the Participant is entitled to under
Section 5.2(a)(1) above divided by four (4). The cost of such medical and dental coverage is based on the monthly premium charged to the Company for such coverage on the Termination Date by an insurance carrier of such benefit if provided
pursuant to an insurance contract issued by an insurance carrier to the Company. If the Company is self-insured for medical and dental benefits, the cost of such coverage is based on the “applicable premium” under COBRA for such coverage
for the year in which the Termination Date occurs. 
 (b) for each Eligible Employment Classification as
described below, an amount equal to the sum of the amount described under the “Severance Pay” column and the amount described under the “Medical and Dental” column. 
  

					
	Eligible Employment Classification	  	Severance Pay	  	Medical and Dental
	 	 	 
	All Corporate Executive Officers at Senior Vice President level and above	  	12 months of Base Salary, plus the Participant’s Pro Rata Bonus, plus 100% of the Participant’s
Target Annual Bonus amount	  	12 months of contributions
	 	 	 
	Elected Corporate Vice President with a base salary of $175,000 or greater	  	9 months of Base Salary, plus the Participant’s Pro Rata Bonus, plus 75% of the Participant’s
Target Annual Bonus amount	  	9 months of contributions
	 	 	 
	Corporate Directors with salary level of $120,000 or greater*	  	6 months of Base Salary, plus the Participant’s Pro Rata Bonus, plus 50% of the Participant’s
Target Annual Bonus amount	  	6 months of contributions
	 	 	 
	Other individuals suggested for participation by business unit and approved by the Committee
	  	6 months of Base Salary, plus the Participant’s Pro Rata Bonus. (Unless otherwise approved by the
Committee, such Participants receive no Target Annual Bonus amount.)	  	6 months of contributions

  

 12 









	*	This would also include positions with the following titles - which are considered equivalent to Corporate Directors: Regional VP, Associate General Counsel, certain
executives at international business units. 

 Amounts representing medical and dental
contributions as indicated in the chart above are determined based on the total cost to the Company to provide the same level of medical and dental coverage maintained by the Participant on the Termination Date for the number of months indicated
above. The cost of such medical and dental coverage is based on the monthly premium charged to the Company for such coverage on the Termination Date by an insurance carrier of such benefit if provided pursuant to an insurance contract issued by an
insurance carrier to the Company. If the Company is self-insured for such coverage, the cost of such coverage is based on the “applicable premium” under COBRA for such coverage for the year in which the Termination Date occurs. 

The Target Annual Bonus amount for purposes of this Section 5.2(b) shall be an amount equal the product of
(A) the Participant’s Target Annual Bonus under the Incentive Plan for the year in which the Termination Date occurs, and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months indicated in the chart and the denominator of
which is 12. 
 Any benefits received under this Section 5.2(b) are in lieu of any benefits for which the
Participant may be eligible under Section 5.2(a). 
 5.3 Partial Acceleration of Equity Award Vesting. Subject to
Article 8 hereof, vesting of each outstanding stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, restricted stock unit award and other equity-based compensation award held by a Participant who is eligible to receive benefits under
Section 5.1 shall accelerate such that the portion of each such award that would have vested had the Participant remained employed by a Participating Company through the next vesting date (as specified in the applicable award agreement)
immediately following such Participant’s Termination Date shall vest and become fully exercisable. 
 5.4 Payment of
Benefits. The total amount determined pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or (b) (as applicable) will be payable in a single lump sum payment within 30 business days of the Participant’s Termination Date; provided, however,
that: 
 (a) Such payment is conditioned upon the Eligible Employee having completed, submitted, and allowed to
become effective an Election Form and Waiver Agreement with the Plan Administrator not later than the deadline determined by the Company; and 
 (b) In the event the Participant’s Termination Date is in the month of December, the portion of the total amount under Section 5.2(a) which is determined based on his Target Annual Bonus shall
be paid, subject to the condition as set forth in paragraph (a) above, not later than the earlier of (i) March 15th of the following calendar year or (ii) 30 business days after the date that bonuses are actually paid to Company
Employees under the Incentive Plan. 
  

 13 








 5.5 Extended Medical Coverage. 
 (a) Eligibility. Participants who meet the requirements in section 5.1 are eligible for group medical coverage that
may extend beyond the Participant’s maximum COBRA Coverage period (“Extended Medical Coverage”), provided that they timely elect COBRA Coverage for medical benefits under the Health and Welfare Plan for themselves and any dependents
who are qualified beneficiaries. 
 (b) Benefits. The Extended Medical Coverage shall consist of the
availability of group medical coverage (and no other coverage such as for dental, vision, or employee assistance program) under the Health and Welfare Plan for a period equal to one-half of the Participant’s Years of Service. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 5.5, Extended Medical Coverage shall be identical in all respects to COBRA Coverage available under the Health and Welfare Plan (including cost and payment obligations) and, during such time as COBRA Coverage
under the Health and Welfare Plan is in effect for the Participant, Extended Medical Coverage and the medical coverage under COBRA shall be deemed one and the same. 
 (c) Duration. The Extended Medical Coverage for the Participant and Participant’s dependents shall end on the
earliest of the following dates:

 5.6 Benefits in the Event of Death. If the Participant has completed and allowed to
become effective an Election Form and Waiver Agreement, but dies prior to the payment of all benefits due under Section 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4, the Participant’s spouse, or if no spouse exists, the Participant’s life insurance beneficiary
under the Health and Welfare Plan, or, if no beneficiary is so designated, the Participant’s estate shall be entitled to receive such unpaid benefits. Eligibility for Extended Medical Coverage under Section 5.5 for any dependents shall
cease upon the death of the Participant. 
 5.7 Code Section 409A 
 (a) All payments under this Plan, together with any other severance plans or arrangements that may be deemed aggregated with
this Plan as a single plan or arrangement for purposes of Code Section 409A, are designed and intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code by reason of the combination of the short-term deferral exemption
described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and the two-times and two-year exemption described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii). With regard to the foregoing, the short-term deferral exemption shall be deemed to apply first
by operation of Section 5.4 hereof and, if for any reason the short-term deferral exemption is inapplicable to any amount, such amount, to the extent not in excess of the amount as described in Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A), shall
be paid no later than the last day of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which occurs the Participant’s separation from service. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if and to the extent any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A
of the Code would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Plan by reason of an Eligible Employee’s separation from service during a period in which he is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any permissible
acceleration of payment by the Company under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes), the Eligible Employee’s right to receive
payment or distribution of such non-exempt deferred compensation will be delayed until the earlier of his death or the first day of the seventh month following his separation from service. For purposes of this Section 5.7, the term
“Specified Employee” has the meaning given such term in Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder (“Final 409A Regulations”); provided, however, that, as permitted in the Final 409A Regulations,
the Company’s Specified Employees and its application of the six-month delay rule of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) shall be determined in accordance with rules adopted by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, which shall be
applied consistently with respect to all nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements of the Company. 
  

 15 








 5.8 Restructuring Terminations During Specified Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Article 5, the total cash amount available to a Special Participant pursuant to this Article shall not be less than an amount equal to twelve (12) weeks’ Straight Time Pay. For purposes of this Section 5.8,
“Special Participant” is a Participant who meets all of the following conditions: 
 (a) The
Participant is terminated from his employment with a Participating Company; 
 (b) The Participant’s
Termination Date is on or after July 1, 2008. For purposes of this Section 5.8, Termination Date shall be determined by the Committee without regard to the deemed retirement date as described in Section 2.30 hereof.” 

ARTICLE 6 - CLAIMS PROCEDURE 
 Prior to an Eligible Employee’s Termination Date, the Committee (or its designee) shall determine whether Plan benefits are payable. Any former Employee who believes that he is entitled to a benefit
hereunder which has not been received or which is different than that which has been officially communicated to the former Employee, and wishes to appeal such decision must file a claim in writing with the Plan Administrator. With respect to
benefits under Article 5, Eligible Employees who may become entitled to such benefits shall be sent a written notice of eligibility in connection with their termination and must execute and return the Election Form and Waiver Agreement provided with
such notice to the Company’s Human Resources Manager within the time period specified in the Release. Employees who do not receive the written notice of eligibility (and Release) in connection with their termination shall be considered to have
had their claim hereunder denied. The Committee (or, if designated by the Committee, another claims processor) is referred to as the “Claims Reviewer.” In reviewing and making determinations with respect to any claim under the Plan, each
such Claims Reviewer shall have the discretionary authority and powers of the Plan Administrator described in Article 7 below. 
  

 16 








 An Employee who has not received a written notice of eligibility in connection with his
termination or an Employee or beneficiary (“Claimant”) who has a dispute regarding the amount of benefits paid, and wishes to appeal the decision, must appeal the determination by filing a written request for review of the decision within
90 days after the Employee’s Termination Date. The Claims Reviewer shall notify the Claimant as to the disposition of the claim for benefits under the Plan within 90 days after the Claimant has filed his claim. If the claim for benefits under
the Plan is denied by the Claims Reviewer, a written notice shall be provided to the Claimant that the claim for benefits has been denied. Such written notice shall indicate the specific reasons for the denial of the claim for benefits, citing the
specific provisions of the Plan that set forth the reason or reasons for the denial. A Claimant who is denied a claim for benefits payable under the Plan and wishes to appeal must request a review of the denial within 60 days after the
Claimant’s receipt of the notice of denial of benefits. The Claims Reviewer shall conduct a full and fair review of the denial of claim for benefits payable under the Plan to the Claimant within 60 days after receipt of the written request for
review; provided, however, that an extension, not to exceed 60 days, may be granted in special circumstances. 
 The Claimant
shall be notified in writing of the final decision of such full and fair review by the Claims Reviewer. Such decision shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, shall state the specific reason for the decision and
shall include specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision is based. In no event shall the decision be furnished to the Claimant later than 60 days after the receipt of a request for review, unless special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing in which case a decision shall be rendered within 120 days after the receipt of the request for review. Written notice of such extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the
commencement of the extension period. 
 Any legal action to recover a benefit under the Plan must be filed within 60 days of
the Claims Reviewer’s decision on appeal. Failure to file suit within this time period shall extinguish any right to benefits under the Plan. In no event may any legal action arising under the Plan be commenced later than the first anniversary
of the date as of which a benefit first should have been paid or commenced. 
 ARTICLE 7 - ADMINISTRATION 
 7.1 The Committee. 
 (a) The Committee shall be responsible for the general administration of the Plan. As such, the Committee is the “Plan Administrator” and a “named fiduciary” of the Plan (as those
terms are used in ERISA) and is the agent for the service of process with respect to the Plan. In the absence of the appointment of a Committee, the functions and powers of the Committee shall reside with the Company. The Committee, in the exercise
of its authority, shall discharge its duties with respect to the Plan in accordance with ERISA and corresponding regulations, as amended from time to time. 
  

 17 








 (b) The Committee shall establish regulations for the day-to-day
administration of the Plan. The Committee and its designated agents shall have the exclusive right and discretion to interpret the terms and conditions of the Plan and to decide and interpret all matters arising with respect to the Plan’s
administration and operation (including factual issues). Any interpretations or decisions so made shall be conclusive and binding on all persons, subject to the claims procedures set forth in each respective coverage document. The Committee or its
designee may pay the expenses of administering the Plan or may reimburse the Company or other person performing administrative services with respect to the Plan if the Company or such other person directly pays such expenses at the request of the
Committee. 
 (c) The composition of the Committee and the identity of its members may be changed, either
formally or informally, by the Company or by the remainder of all members of the Committee. 
 7.2 Authority to Appoint
Advisors and Agents. The Committee may appoint and employ such persons as it may deem advisable and as it may require in carrying out the provisions of the Plan. To the extent permitted by law, the members of the Committee shall be fully
protected by any action taken in reliance upon advice given by such persons and in reliance on tables, valuations, certificates, determinations, opinions and reports which are furnished by any accountant, counsel, claims administrator or other
expert who is employed or engaged by the Committee. 
 7.3 Compensation and Expenses of Committee. The members of the
Committee shall receive no compensation for their duties hereunder, but the Committee shall be reimbursed for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of its duties, including counsel fees and expenses. Such expenses of the
Committee, including the compensation of administrators, actuaries, counsel, agents or others that the Committee may employ, shall be paid by the Participating Company. 
 7.4 Records The Committee shall keep or cause to be kept books and records with respect to the operations and administration of this Plan. 
 7.5 Indemnification of Committee. The Company agrees to indemnify and to defend to the fullest extent permitted by law any employee
serving as a member of the Committee or as its delegate against all liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement of any claims approved by the Company, occasioned by any act or failure to
act in connection with the Plan, unless such act or omission arises out of such employee’s gross negligence, willful neglect or willful misconduct. The Company may purchase fiduciary liability insurance to insure its obligation under this
Section. 
 ARTICLE 8 - MAXIMUM BENEFITS 
 8.1 Maximum Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: 
  

 18 








 (a) The maximum cash benefit that may be available to a Participant under
Article 4 and Article 5 shall be an amount equal to 2 times the sum of such Participant’s (i) W-2 pay (Box 1) for the most recently completed calendar year, (ii) total pre-tax 401(k) elective deferrals for such year (if any), and
(iii) total pre-tax medical premium contributions pursuant to Code Section 125 for such year (if any). When necessary, the Plan Administrator shall reduce the severance benefits to such extent and in such manner as it deems necessary or
appropriate to comply with this Article 8; and 
 (b) All payments under this Plan, together with any other
severance plans or arrangements that may be deemed aggregated with this Plan as a single plan or arrangement for purposes of Code Section 409A, shall be subject to the requirements as set forth in Section 5.7 (Code Section 409A).

 (c) Notwithstanding Section 8.1(a), the maximum cash amount that may be available under this Plan to a
Special Participant (as described in Section 4.4 or 5.8 hereof, as applicable) is an amount equal to the greater of (i) the amount as described in Section 8.1(a) or (ii) twelve (12) weeks’ Straight Time Pay. 

ARTICLE 9 - MISCELLANEOUS 
 9.1 Funding of Benefits. Neither the creation of any fund or accounts, nor the payment of benefits under the Plan shall be construed as giving any legal or equitable right to any Employee, former
Employee, or beneficiary against the Company, any Participating Company, or their officers or employees except as expressly provided herein, and all obligations under the Plan shall be satisfied, if at all, only out of the general assets of the
Company or a Participating Company. 
 9.2 Settlement of Accounts. Except as prohibited by applicable law, there shall be
deducted from the payment of any benefit due under the Plan the amount of any indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities owed by the Participant to the Company or any Participating Company, including, but not limited to, amounts owed for loans,
travel advances, and miscellaneous clothing. 
 9.3 Withholding. Any payment of benefits to a Participant shall be
subject to normal withholding for state, local and federal income taxes and Social Security taxes, as well as legally enforceable garnishments. 
 9.4 Spendthrift. Except as permitted by law and this section, no assignment of any rights or benefits arising under the Plan is permitted or recognized. No rights or benefits are subject to
attachment or other legal or equitable process or subject to the jurisdiction of any bankruptcy court. If any Participant is adjudicated bankrupt or attempts to assign any benefits, then in the Company’s discretion, those benefits may cease. If
that happens, the Committee may apply those benefits for that Participant or his dependents, as the Committee sees fit. Neither the Company, nor any Participating Company, is liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of
any person entitled to benefits under this Plan. 
  

 19 








 9.5 Amendment, Termination and Vesting. The Plan may be amended or terminated at any
time by Mirant Services, LLC by or through action of the Plan Administrator. No Participating Company other than the Company shall have the right to amend or terminate the Plan. Any amendment to the Plan by the Company shall be binding upon every
Participating Company without further action by such Participating Company. Upon termination or discontinuance of the Plan, all payments with respect to benefits shall be made only with respect to claims incurred on or prior to the date of the
Plan’s termination. 
 Nothing in this Plan, the Summary Plan Description (the “SPD”), or any other document
describing, interpreting or relating to the Plan shall be construed to provide vested, nonforfeitable, nonterminable or nonchangeable benefits or rights thereto. No communication, written or oral, may modify, supersede, or void the written terms of
the Plan unless such communication constitutes a valid amendment of the Plan executed by the Committee. 
 The Committee or its
designee may amend the SPD attached hereto at any time by preparation and publication of a revised SPD (or Summary of Material Modifications). Any amendment will apply to those currently receiving benefits as well as future benefit recipients.

 9.6 No Guarantee of Employment. The Plan is not a contract of employment and neither the Plan nor the payment of any
benefits under the Plan shall be construed as giving any person any legal or equitable right to employment by any Participating Company. Nothing herein shall be construed to interfere with the right of the Company or any Participating Company to
discharge, with or without cause, any Employee at any time. 
 9.7 Construction. This Plan shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, to the extent such laws are not otherwise superseded by the laws of the United States. 
 9.8 Right to Require Information and Reliance Thereon. Each Participating Company, Plan Administrator and Claims Reviewer shall have the right to require any Employee, spouse or beneficiary to
provide it and its agents with such information, in writing, and in such forms as it may deem necessary to the administration of the Plan and may rely on that information in carrying out its duties hereunder. Any payment to an Employee, spouse or
beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and in good faith reliance upon any written information provided by such individual, shall be in full satisfaction of all claims by the individual. 
 9.9 Conclusiveness of Records. The records of the Company and the Participating Companies with respect to age, service, employment
history, compensation, absences, illnesses and other relevant matters shall be conclusive for purposes of the administration of, and the resolution of claims arising under, the Plan.
