 Article 1 
 PURPOSE AND INTENT 
 PerkinElmer, Inc. maintains the PerkinElmer, Inc. 2008 Supplemental Benefits
Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the overall effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program; to attract, retain and motivate qualified senior executives; to provide retirement benefits more closely related to
Total Compensation; and to soften the financial impact of early retirement for Participants. The Plan is intended to be “a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for
a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and shall be interpreted and
administered in a manner consistent therewith. 
 This Plan is effective January 1, 2008, except that provisions implementing the
requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as Amended (the “Code”) are effective January 1, 2005. Benefits accrued and vested under the PerkinElmer, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Old
SERP”) as of December 31, 2004 and not materially modified thereafter (the “Grandfathered Benefits”) will be administered under the terms of the Old SERP. This Plan replaces the Old SERP, which remains in existence solely to hold
Grandfathered Benefits. Those benefits formerly governed by the terms and conditions of the Old SERP which are not Grandfathered Benefits and benefits accrued on or after January 1, 2005 are administered under and governed by this Plan. This
Plan is intended to provide for deferred compensation that is subject to and compliant with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and the guidance issue pursuant thereto. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible
in a manner consistent with that intent.

more than 500 Hours of Service shall not constitute a Break-in-Service but will not be considered as a Year of Service. If in any Year, the Participant has less than 500 Hours of Service, he shall incur a Break-in-Service. 


 

	 	b.	A Participant shall be considered as accruing Hours of Service in accordance with his normal work week for each week: 

  

	 	(i)	while on an authorized leave of absence, if at or before the end of such leave, the Participant returns to service, provided however, that a Participant on a leave who fails to
return to service at or before the end of such leave, will be considered to have terminated his Employment as of the last day of service with the Company. If, however, such failure to return was due to death, disability, or retirement on his early
or normal retirement date, the Participant’s date of termination will be the date on which one of the above occurs; 

  

	 	(ii)	 during the one (1) year period following the date on which a Participant is laid off due to a reduction in work force, provided the Participant returns to
service within the one-year period following his date of termination. If the Participant does not return to service within said one-year period,

whether because he was not recalled or was recalled but did not return to service, the Participant shall be considered to have terminated his service as of
the last day of service. 


 If a Participant terminates his Employment and is rehired, the following rules shall apply in
determining his Years of Service: 
  

	 	c.	In the case of a Participant who had five (5) or more Years of Service, his Years of Service accrued during his prior period of Employment shall be reinstated as of the date of
his re-employment. 

  

	 	d.	In the case of a Participant whose Employment terminated before completing five (5) Years of Service, his Years of Service accrued during his prior period of Employment shall
be reinstated unless the “Break-in-Service” exceeds five (5) years. 

 In no event shall a Participant be deemed
to have more than one Year of Service with respect to any Year.

 Article 3 
 ADMINISTRATION 
 The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the
authority to interpret the provisions of the Plan and decide all questions and settle all disputes which may arise in connection with the Plan, all in the sole exercise of its discretion. The Committee may establish operative and administrative

made on account of separation from service may not be made before the date which is 6 months and 1 day after the date of separation from service as determined under section 409A of the Code (the “New Payment Date”). The aggregate of any

 Article 11 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	11.1	Plan Not Funded. The Plan is intended to be and shall be construed and administered as an employee pension benefit plan under Section 3(2)(A) of ERISA which is
unfunded and maintained by the Company solely to provide deferred compensation to a “select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. The obligation of the
Company to make payments under the Plan constitutes nothing more than an unsecured promise of the Company to make such payments. No Participant, beneficiary or any other person shall have any interest in any particular assets of the Company by
reason of the right to receive a benefit under the Plan and any such Participant, beneficiary or other person shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any rights under the Plan. PerkinElmer, Inc., in
its sole discretion, may create one or more trusts to hold assets of the Plan and to provide for the payment of benefits. PerkinElmer, Inc. shall be the owner of each trust and the trust corpus shall be subject to the claims of general creditors in
the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of PerkinElmer, Inc. The trusts shall contain such other terms and conditions as PerkinElmer, Inc. may deem necessary or advisable to ensure that benefits are not includable, by reason of the trusts, in the
income of trust beneficiaries prior to actual distribution and that the existence of the trusts does not cause the Plan to be considered “funded” for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.


  

	11.2	No Guaranty of Benefits. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guaranty by the Company or any other entity or person that the assets of the Company will be
sufficient to pay any benefit hereunder. 

  

	11.3	No Enlargement of Employee Rights. No Participant or beneficiary shall have any right to a benefit under the Plan except in accordance with terms of the Plan.
Establishment of the Plan shall not be construed to give any Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company. 

  

 22 









	11.4	Spendthrift Provision. No interest of any person or entity in, or right to receive a benefit under, the Plan shall be subject in any manner to sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other alienation or encumbrance of any kind; nor may such interest or right to receive a benefit be taken, either voluntarily or involuntarily, for the satisfaction of the debts or other obligations or
claims against, such person or entity, including claims for alimony, support, separate maintenance and claims in bankruptcy proceedings. 

  

	11.5	Applicable Law. Subject to ERISA to the extent applicable, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and administered under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, without regard to its conflicts of laws and principles. 

  

	11.6	Incapacity of Recipient. If any person entitled to a benefit payment under the Plan is deemed by the Company to be incapable of personally receiving and giving a valid
receipt for such payment, then, unless and until claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian or other legal representative of such person, the Company may provide for such payment or any part thereof to be made to any other
person or institution than contributing toward or providing for the care and maintenance of such person. Any such payment shall be a payment for the account of such person and a complete discharge of any liability of the Company and the Plan
thereof. 

  

	11.7	Corporate Successors. The Plan shall not be automatically terminated by a transfer or sale of assets of the Company.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused the Plan to be executed by its duly authorized representative
