 ARTICLE 6 - INVESTMENT OPTIONS 
  
 6.1
Participant Election of Declared Rates. A Participant may elect on the Allocation Election Form any combination of Declared Rates in one (1%) percent increments, as long as the total does not exceed one hundred (100%) percent of the
deferrals. A Participant may change the Declared Rate(s) election once a month by filing a written notice (including an electronic notification) with the Administrator (or to a service provider designated by the Company, such as Mullin Consulting,
which provides administrative services for the Plan and the Participants) up to the last day of the month, with such change(s) effective as of the first day of the next month. Such elections will apply to current deferrals and/or to the remaining
Deferral Account Balance, as indicated by the Participant. The Company may modify these procedures to provide greater flexibility (e.g., smaller percentage increments or more frequent reallocations) to Participants. The Company will not necessarily
invest Deferral Account balances in the investment funds represented by the Declared Rates, even though the actual performance of the investment fund(s) that is/are chosen to measure specific Declared Rate(s) will determine the rate of return
(positive or negative) on the Participant’s Deferral Account. 
  
 6.2
Declared Rates. A Participant may select from Declared Rates currently representing ten (10) investment funds, which may from time to time be established under the Plan and the number of which may be expanded by the Committee; it being the
intention that at all times Participants will have at least nine (9) core investment fund choices comparable in focus, type and quality to those listed on Exhibit A. The Declared Rates provide a rate of return (positive or negative) that are is
based on the actual net performance of the Declared Rate(s) selected by the Participant. The Declared Rates credited to Participant Deferral Accounts will be the actual net performance of the Declared Rates, to which will be added a basis point
credit, which credit when added to the actual net performance of the Declared Rates will together be approximately equivalent on average to crediting the actual gross performance of the Declared Rates less 20 basis points. 
  
 ARTICLE 7 - BENEFITS 
  
 7.1 Retirement Benefit. A Participant is eligible for a Retirement Benefit under this Plan upon the satisfaction of the requirements
for Normal Retirement or Early Retirement. 
  

 5 








 7.2 Benefit Election Alternatives. The Retirement Benefit will be paid beginning on the Settlement Date, and in
the manner which the Participant elects no later than thirteen months prior to retirement. A Participant may elect to receive his Retirement Benefit at retirement in either a lump sum or installments during 10, 15 or 20 years, or a combination of a
lump sum payment (in 10% increments) and payments during one installment period; provided, however, that the maximum payout period for Retirement Benefits shall be subject to Section 7.3. In the event a payout election period exceeds the maximum
period permitted by Section 7.3, the payout period shall be reduced to the maximum period permitted by Section 7.3. 
  
 7.3 Maximum Payout Period. Notwithstanding any Eligible Employee’s election to the contrary, the maximum number of years over which retirement Benefits may be
paid from the Plan shall be limited as follows: 
  
 (i)
Retirement ages 55-59 - lump sum or over ten years; 
  
 (ii)
Retirement ages 60-61 - lump sum or over ten or fifteen years; or 
  
 (iii) Retirement ages 62 and above - lump sum or over ten, fifteen or twenty years; 
  
 provided that in cases of involuntary or mutual separation or termination the Chief Executive Officer or Senior Vice President, Human Resources shall have the right to extend the payment period, as elected by the
Participant at least 13 months prior to retirement, without regard to the limits in (i) or (ii) above, subject to the Participant being eligible for Early Retirement. 
  
 7.4 Installment Payments. All installment payments will be calculated on an annual basis but paid in such intervals as may be
determined by the Committee, provided that such intervals shall not be less frequent than quarterly. If a Participant elects to receive his Retirement Benefit in installment payments, the payments will be based on the Deferral Account balance at the
beginning of the payment period. The payments will be recalculated annually by dividing the Participant’s current Deferral Account balance as of the last day of the plan year by the number of remaining years in the payment period based on the
Participant’s retirement payment election. The rate of return (positive or negative) during any payment year will be credited during the year on the unpaid Deferral Account balance at the applicable Declared Rate(s). A retired Participant may
continue to change his Declared Rate(s) pursuant to Section 6.1. 
  
 7.5
Disability. If a Participant suffers a Disability, Participant deferrals that otherwise would have been credited to the Participant’s Deferral Accounts will cease during such Disability. The Participant’s Deferral Accounts will
continue to earn interest at the Declared Rate(s) that he has chosen. If the Participant terminates employment because of the Disability, the Participant’s Deferral Account will be distributed as a Retirement Benefit, Termination Benefit or
Survivor Benefit, whichever is applicable, beginning on the date and in the form which the Participant elected in his Participant Election Form. In the sole discretion of the Committee, the Employer may commence payments on an earlier date. If a
Participant recovers from a Disability and returns to employment with the Employer the Participant shall resume making deferrals pursuant to his Participant Election Form. 
  
 7.6 Termination Benefit. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death, or Normal or Early Retirement,
the Employer shall pay to the Participant in one lump sum an amount (the “Termination Benefit”) equal to the value of the Deferral Account, provided that the Company reserves the right to distribute this Benefit in installment payments,
and in such event the Termination Benefit will be calculated in accordance with Section 7.4. The Participant shall be entitled to no further Benefits under this Plan. 
  

 6 








 7.7 Survivor Benefits. 
  

(a) Pre-Retirement. If a Participant dies and has not yet commenced receiving Retirement Benefit payments, a Survivor Benefit will be paid to
his Beneficiary in annual installments over ten years except as set forth below. The aggregate Survivor Benefit will be equal to the Deferral Account balance plus interest. The annual Survivor Benefit payments shall be re-determined each year based
upon the value of the Deferral Account at that time plus interest based on the Survivor Rate. 
  
 (b) Post-Retirement. If a Participant dies after payment of Benefits has commenced, his Beneficiary will be entitled to receive the remainder of the payments not yet paid to the Participant in accordance with
the election of the Participant then in effect. After the Participant’s death, interest will be credited at the Survivor Rate. 
  
 7.8 Emergency Benefit. In the event that the Committee, upon written petition of the Participant or Beneficiary, determines, in its sole discretion, that the
Participant or Beneficiary has suffered an unforeseeable financial emergency, the Employer shall pay to the Participant or Beneficiary, as soon as practicable following such determination, an amount necessary to meet the emergency not in excess of
the Termination Benefit to which the Participant is entitled hereunder if said Participant had a termination of service on the date of such determination (the “Emergency Benefit”). For purposes of this Plan, an unforeseeable financial
emergency is an unexpected need for cash arising from an illness, casualty loss, sudden financial reversal, or other such unforeseeable occurrence. An unforeseeable financial emergency for purposes of this Plan shall exist for any Participant or
Beneficiary who is deemed to be in constructive receipt of income on account of deferred benefits payable under the terms of the Plan, and in such event all deferred benefits giving rise to said constructive receipt of income shall be paid to the
Participant or Beneficiary in question. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final determination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or court of competent jurisdiction, all time for appeal having lapsed, that the Employer is not the
owner of the assets of the Rabbi Trust, with the result that the income of the Rabbi Trust is not treated as income of the Company pursuant to Sections 671 through 679 of the Code, or the final determination by (i) the IRS, (ii) a court of competent
jurisdiction, all time for appeal having lapsed, or (iii) counsel to the Company that a federal tax is payable by the Participant or Beneficiary with respect to assets of the Rabbi Trust or the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s Deferral
Accounts prior to the distribution of those assets or Deferral Accounts to the Participant or Beneficiary shall in any event constitute an unforeseeable financial emergency entitling such Participant or Beneficiary to an Emergency Benefit provided
for in this Section. Cash needs arising from foreseeable events such as the purchase of a home or education expenses for children shall not be considered to be the result of an unforeseeable financial emergency. The amount of benefits otherwise
payable under the Plan shall thereafter be adjusted to reflect the reduction of a Deferral Account due to the early payment of the Emergency Benefit. 
  
 A Participant, or a Beneficiary receiving payments, may request an Emergency Benefit distribution or a cessation of the current Annual Deferral by submitting a written
request to the Committee. The Committee, or designated subcommittee thereof, shall have the authority to require such evidence as it deems, in its sole discretion, necessary to determine if such a distribution or cessation of deferrals is warranted.
If the request is approved, any Distribution will be limited to an amount sufficient to meet the emergency up to the Deferral Account balance. Any Distribution will be calculated and paid in a manner determined solely by the Committee. The balance
of the Deferral Account and any Benefits otherwise payable under the Plan shall thereafter be adjusted accordingly. Following such Distribution, current deferrals will cease and the Participant may not make deferrals for one full plan year after the
date of the distribution. 
  

 7 








 7.9 Discounted Cash Out Election  
  
 (a) At any time a Participant or a Beneficiary has a Deferral Account balance in the Plan, the Participant or a Beneficiary
may elect to receive all or part of the Participant’s Deferral Account balance in a lump sum by filing a written election with the Administrator to receive a Discounted Cash Out pursuant to this Section. Crediting of Declared Rates to the
amount elected to be withdrawn shall cease to accrue as of the Valuation date. The requirements for a Discounted Cash Out Election and the manner of determining the amount to be paid to a Participant who makes a Discounted Cash Out Election are set
forth below. 
  
 (b) Minimum Amount. Except as otherwise
determined by the Committee, the Discounted Cash Out must be in an amount of at least $200,000, unless the Participant’s Deferral Account has an aggregate balance of less than $200,000 as of the date of the Discounted Cash Out Election, in
which case the amount of the Discounted Cash Out shall be equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of the Participant’s Deferral Accounts. 
  
 (c) Deferral Account Value. The amount available for the Discounted Cash Out shall be determined no later than the last day of the month
during which the Participant or Beneficiary delivers to the Administrator a written Discounted Cash Out Election, provided, however, that the Administrator shall have at lease fifteen (15) business days to make such determination. 
  
 (d) Adjustment of Accounts; Penalty. If a Participant or Beneficiary
elects to receive a Discounted Cash Out, the amount actually distributed to the Participant shall be the amount of the requested Discounted Cash Out Election less a 6% penalty. If required by law or regulation, the Committee reserves the right to
change the amount of the penalty. 
  
 (e) Number of
Distributions. During the course of any calendar year and prior to Early or Normal Retirement or Death, a Participant or a Beneficiary may make one Discounted Cash Out Election per year; following Early or Normal Retirement, a Participant or a
Beneficiary in a payout status, may make two Discounted Cash Out Elections per year. 
  
 7.10 Small Benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with the exception of normal Plan installment Distributions, in the event the Deferral Account balance of a Participant or a Beneficiary after a benefit
Distribution is $50,000 or less, the Administrator, in his sole discretion, may elect to distribute any such amount in a single lump sum payment. 
  
 7.11 Valuation Date. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, the Valuation Date for determining Deferral Account balances shall be the last day of the
month in which an event occurs that triggers a Benefit payment. 
  
 7.12
Settlement Date. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, the Settlement Date for Benefit payments shall be within 90 days or as soon as possible following the Valuation Date. 
  
 ARTICLE 8 - BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION 
  
 Each Participant and Beneficiary shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to whom payment under this Plan
shall be made in the event of death of the Participant or Beneficiary, as the case may be, prior to complete distribution of the Benefits due under the Plan. Each Beneficiary designation shall become effective only when filed in writing with the
Administrator 

  

 8 








 
during the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s lifetime, as the case may be, on a form prescribed by the Administrator. 
  
 The filing of a new Beneficiary designation form will cancel and revoke all Beneficiary
designations previously filed. Any finalized divorce or marriage (other than a common law marriage) of a Participant or Beneficiary, as the case may be, subsequent to the date of filing of a Beneficiary designation form shall revoke such designation
unless (i) in the case of divorce the previous spouse or a trust for said previous spouse was not designated as Beneficiary, or (ii) in the case of marriage the Participant’s new spouse or a trust for said new spouse had previously been
designated as Beneficiary. 
  
 If a Participant or Beneficiary, as the case may
be, fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if the Participant’s Beneficiary designation is revoked by marriage, divorce, or otherwise without execution of a new Beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries
predecease the Participant or Beneficiary, as the case may be, or die prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s Benefits, then the Administrator shall direct the distribution of such Benefits to the estate of the Participant or
Beneficiary, as the case may be. 
  
 ARTICLE 9 - ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

  
 A deferred compensation plan committee (“Committee”) consisting
of three or more members shall be appointed by the Company’s Chairman or Chief Executive Officer to administer the Plan and establish, adopt, or revise such rules and procedures as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of
the Plan and to interpret the provisions of the Plan, with any such interpretations to be conclusive. All decisions of the Committee shall be by vote of at least a majority of its members and shall be final and binding. Members of the Committee

Plan; provided, however, that (i) no such amendment shall be effective to decrease the Benefits accrued by any Participant or Beneficiary of a deceased Participant (including, but not limited to, the rate of interest credited to the Deferral
Accounts); (ii) no such Amendment shall decrease the number of Declared Rates established herein; (iii) Section 7.1 may not be amended; (iv) the definition of Declared Rate may not be amended; except as allowed in Article 6, and (v) the other

Accounts under this Plan from any other assets of the Company and may commingle any such assets with any other monies, securities and properties of any kind of the Company. Separate accounts or records for the respective Participants’ Deferred

Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for deferred compensation and Participants shall rely solely on the unsecured promise of the Company for payment hereunder. With respect to any payment not yet made to a Participant under
the Plan, nothing contained in the Plan shall give a Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company; provided, however, that the Administrator may authorize the creation of trusts, including but not
limited to the Trust referred to in this Section 12.15, or make other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations under the Plan, which trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan.

  
 12.12 Compliance. A Participant in the Plan shall have no right to
receive payment with respect to the Participant’s Deferral Account until legal and contractual obligations of the Company relating to establishment of the Plan and the making of such payments shall have been complied with in full. 

 
 12.13 Tax Withholding. The Participant or Beneficiary shall make appropriate
arrangements with the Company for satisfaction of any federal, state or local income tax withholding requirements and Social Security or other employee tax requirements applicable to the crediting and payment of Benefits under the Plan. If no other
arrangements are made, the Company shall have the right to deduct from amounts otherwise credited or payable in settlement of a Deferral Account any sums that federal, state, local or foreign tax law requires to be withheld with respect to such
credit or payment. 
  
 12.14 Protective Provisions. Each Participant shall
cooperate with the Employer by furnishing any and all information requested by the Employer in order to facilitate the payment of Benefits hereunder, taking such physical examinations as the Employer may deem necessary and taking such other relevant
action as may be requested by the Employer. If a Participant refuses so to cooperate, the Employer shall have no further obligation to the Participant under the Plan, other than payment to such Participant of the cumulative deferrals theretofore
made pursuant to this Plan. If a Participant commits suicide during the two (2) year period beginning on the first day on which he participates in the Plan or if the Participant makes any material misstatement of information or nondisclosure of
medical history, then no Benefits will be payable hereunder to such Participant of the deferrals theretofore made pursuant to this Plan, provided, that in the Employer’s sole discretion, Benefits may be payable in an amount reduced to
compensate the Employer for any loss, cost, damage or expense suffered or incurred by the Employer as a result in any way of any such action, misstatement or nondisclosure.

 12.15 Unsecured General Creditor. The Company has established the Avery Dennison Corporation Executive
Compensation Trust (“Rabbi Trust”). The assets of the Rabbi Trust shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. To the extent any Benefits provided under the Plan are actually paid from the Rabbi Trust, the Employer shall
have no further obligation with respect thereto, but to the extent not so paid, such Benefits shall remain the obligation of, and shall be paid by, the Employer. Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no
legal or equitable rights, interest, or claims in an specific property or assets of Employer, nor shall they be beneficiaries of, or have any rights, claims, or interests in any life insurance policies, annuity contracts, or the proceeds therefrom
owned or which may be acquired by Employer (“Policies”). Apart from the Rabbi Trust, such Policies or other assets of Employer shall not be held under any trust for the Benefit of Participants, their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, or
assigns, or held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of Employer under this Plan. Any and all of the Employer’s assets and Policies shall be, and remain, the general, un-pledged, unrestricted assets of
Employer. Employer’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of Employer to pay money in the future. 
  
 12.16 Waiver of Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead,
or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the Benefits due hereunder, wherever such
laws may be enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the administration or performance of this Plan; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the realization of any Benefits to which the Participants hereunder are entitled, but will suffer and permit the realization of all such Benefits as though no such law had been enacted.

  
 12.17 Status. The establishment and maintenance of, or allocations and
credits to, the Deferral Accounts of any Participant shall not vest in any Participant any right, title or interest in and to any Plan assets or Benefits except at the time or times and upon the terms and conditions and to the extent expressly set
forth in the Plan and in accordance with the terms of the Rabbi Trust. 
  
 12.18 Validity. In the event any provision of this Plan is held invalid, void, or unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect whatsoever, the validity of any other provision of this Plan. 
  
 12.19 Waiver of Breach. The waiver by any party of any breach of any provision of the
Plan by any other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. 
  
 12.20 Gender, Singular & Plural. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context
may require, the singular may be read as the plural and the plural as the singular. 
  
 ARTICLE 13 - EFFECTIVE DATE 
  
 The effective date of this
amended and restated Plan is December 1, 2003.
