Re:    Severance Agreement and General Release
Dear Mark:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the terms regarding the termination of your employment with Campbell Soup Company and/or its subsidiary or affiliated entity (“the Company”).  As set forth more fully below, we offer to you the following Severance Agreement, which includes a General Release (“the Agreement”).


The terms and conditions set forth in Paragraph 1 below will apply regardless of whether you decide to sign this Agreement.  However, you will not be eligible to receive the payments and other benefits (“Severance Benefits”) described in Paragraph 2 below unless you sign and do not revoke this Agreement.  (Please see Paragraph 17 below for what it means to revoke this Agreement.) 
This Agreement is an important legal document.  You are encouraged to read it carefully and make certain that you understand and agree with it before you sign it.  You may consider for forty-five (45) days whether you wish to sign this Agreement.  Because this is a legal document, you are encouraged to review it with your attorney. 
1.General Terms of Termination. As noted above, whether or not you sign this Agreement:


(a)Your last official day of work will be April 2, 2018.  Thereafter, you will be on paid garden leave until your official notice date of September 3, 2018.


(b)You will then receive four (4) weeks’ pay in lieu of notice, after which, on October 1, 2018, your employment with the Company will terminate (“Termination Date”).
  
(c)You will receive a lump sum payment for your accrued but unused paid-time off, if any, as of your Termination Date.


(d)Your eligibility to participate in the Company-sponsored health plans (medical, dental, and vision) as an employee of the Company will end on the last day of the month in which your Termination Date occurs.  Thereafter, you will be eligible to continue such coverages at your sole expense in accordance with a federal law called the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the group medical, dental, and vision plans and COBRA.  However, if you sign and do not revoke this Agreement, while your period of COBRA eligibility will commence on the first day of the month following your Termination Date, you will remain eligible to participate in the Company’s medical (but not dental or vision) plan at active employee premium contribution rates until the end of the Severance Period as defined in Paragraph 2(a) below.  After the end of the Severance Period, you will be eligible to continue participation in the Company’s medical plan at your sole expense for the remainder, if any, of your COBRA eligibility period.


(e)Your eligibility to participate in all other Company-sponsored group benefits, including but not limited to group life, business travel, disability, and accidental death and dismemberment coverage, will terminate on the Termination Date, unless the applicable plan document provides for a different result.  However, if you sign and do not revoke this Agreement, you will remain eligible to participate in the Company’s group life insurance until the end of the Severance Period as defined in Paragraph 2(a) below.


(f)You remain legally bound by and must comply with the terms, conditions, and restrictions of the Nonqualified Stock Option and Non-Competition Agreement executed by you on June 26, 1997 (the “Non-Competition Agreement”).  The prohibitions in paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 of the Non-Competition Agreement shall expire on April 30, 2019; however, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent you on or after May 1, 2018 from accepting and starting any employment (or providing any services to any entity) that does not violate the Non-Competition Agreement.  Questions regarding prospective opportunities and the impact of your Non-Competition Agreement will be handled generally in accordance with the terms set forth in Paragraph 9 of the Campbell Soup Company Confidential and Proprietary Information Agreement signed by you on March 31, 1997.  











2.Severance Benefits.  If you sign and do not revoke this Agreement, agreeing to be bound by the General Release in Paragraph 3 below and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will do the following:


(a)The Company will pay you one hundred four (104) weeks of severance pay at your current base salary ($731,800), less withholding of all applicable federal, state, and local taxes.  The severance payments will be paid to you in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices after you have received your pay in lieu of notice in accordance with Paragraph 1(b) above (and in accordance with the provisions relating to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) in the Company’s Severance Pay Plan for Salaried Employees (the “Severance Pay Plan”), which provisions are incorporated into this Agreement by reference).  For purposes of this Agreement, the period in which you receive severance payments pursuant to this Paragraph 2(a) shall be referred to as the “Severance Period.” 


(b)While your COBRA eligibility period will commence on the first day of the month following your Termination Date, the Company will continue your medical (but not dental or vision) coverage until the end of the Severance Period as though you were actively employed by the Company at active employee premium contribution rates, and your portion of the monthly contributions will be deducted from the payments you receive following the Termination Date (and with respect to such continuation the provisions relating to Section 409A of the Code in the Severance Pay Plan concerning such continuation are incorporated by reference into this Agreement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, during this period, the Company shall impute as taxable income to you an amount equal to the full actuarial cost of such coverage in excess of your contributions to the cost of such coverage, for each month during which such coverage is in effect for you and/or your eligible dependents but only if and to the extent such imputation is required for you to avoid being subject to tax under Section 105(h) of the Code, with respect to any payment or  reimbursement of expenses made to you or for you and/or any of your eligible dependents’ benefit under such plan.  After the Severance Period, your continued participation in the Company’s group medical plan for the remainder, if any, of your COBRA eligibility period shall be at your sole expense. 


(c)The Company will continue your group life insurance until the end of the Severance Period as though you were actively employed by the Company.  After the Severance Period, your continued participation in the Company’s group life insurance shall terminate.


(d)In lieu of providing you with outplacement services, the Company will pay the fees for your executive coach for his services for an additional 12 months.  


(e)Your eligibility to participate in the Company’s benefit plans and programs in accordance with Paragraphs 2(b) and (c) above shall cease when you become eligible for benefits coverage from a new employer.  You must inform me when you become eligible for benefits from a new employer.


(f)If you violate any of the post-termination restrictions set forth in the Non-Competition Agreement, the Company, in its sole discretion, may cease making the payments and providing the benefits set forth in this Paragraph 2; however, the General Release in Paragraph 3 below shall remain in full force and effect. Prior to taking such action, the Company shall give you written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure and if you cure such event, the Company shall not have the right to cease making such payments or providing such benefits.  This shall be in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Company under the Non-Competition Agreement.

You agree that you will not make any negative comments or disparaging remarks, in writing, orally, or electronically, about the Company or any past or present director, officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates.

Moreover, each paragraph, part, or subpart of each paragraph in this Agreement is independent of and severable (separate) from each other.  In the event that any part of this Agreement shall be found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court and is not modified by a court to be enforceable, the remaining provisions shall not be affected and shall continue to be binding.


15.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any and all prior representations, agreements, written or oral, expressed or implied, except for the Non-Competition Agreement referenced in Paragraph 1(f) above which survives the termination of your employment and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company confirms that you are covered under the indemnification provisions of the Company’s by-laws and you shall be covered for acts or omissions occurring during your employment under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policies to the same extent you would have been covered if you had continued to be employed.


21.280G of the Code.  The parties agree and acknowledge that the termination of your employment was not in connection with a change in control and, as such, agree to use reasonable efforts to rebut any such presumption under the Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we are not successful in rebutting such presumption, then the provisions in your Severance Protection Agreement relating to a gross up for any excise taxes, interest or penalties imposed on you under Section 4999 of the Code shall remain in full force and effect.

EXHIBIT A


In or around March 2018, Campbell Soup Company (the “Company”), as part of an examination of its corporate structure and design, decided to eliminate and restructure certain positions on the Campbell Leadership Team.  The Company decided to offer all employees whose roles were eliminated and who did not move into another permanent role with the Company an amount of severance pay and other benefits, calculated in accordance with its Severance Pay Plan for Salaried Employees, in exchange for the execution of a Severance Agreement and General Release.  In accordance with the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 626(f)(1)(H), the Company is providing the following information to affected employees:


A.There are different groups of employees impacted by the Company’s plans to restructure.  For these purposes, your decisional unit is the Campbell Leadership Team.


B.All employees whose roles were eliminated and who did not move into another permanent role are eligible for severance benefits in accordance with the Campbell Soup Company Severance Pay Plan for Salaried Employees.  The criteria applied in determining which positions would be eliminated or redesigned, and which employees would be impacted, included business strategy, corporate design, and job functions and requirement.


C.All persons who are being offered severance pay in exchange for executing a Severance Agreement and General Release must sign the Agreement and return it to the Company within forty-five (45) days after receiving it.  Once the signed Agreement is returned to the Company, the employee has seven (7) days in which to revoke the Agreement.
