ARTICLE I – GENERAL




Section 1.1 Background



Avery Dennison Corporation (the “Company” and successor to Avery International Corporation), a
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, by resolution of its Board of
Directors dated November 17, 1983, adopted the Avery International Corporation Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan effective as of December 1, 1983, and which by action of the Compensation
and Executive Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors on April 23, 1998, was amended and
restated to be the Avery Dennison Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”)
effective as of April 23, 1998, and which Plan by action of the Committee is further amended and
restated effective as of April 22, 2004, as set forth herein. Between January 1, 2005 and December
31, 2008, the Plan was operated in accordance with transition relief established by the Treasury
Department and Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Code Section 409A. The Plan is amended and
restated effective as of January 1, 2009 to bring the Plan into compliance with Code Section 409A
and the Treasury Regulations issued by the Treasury Department on April 10, 2007 and effective
January 1, 2009.



The Plan constitutes an unfunded “excess benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(36) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The Plan is maintained
primarily for the purpose of providing deferred Compensation for a select group of management or
highly compensated employees, within the meaning of ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1).



The Plan is intended to comply with Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Any
provision of this document that is contrary to the requirements of Code Section 409A or the
Treasury Regulations thereunder shall be null void and of no effect and the Plan shall be
interpreted and administered consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A, which shall
govern the administration of the Plan in the event of a conflict between the Plan terms and the
requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.



Section 1.2 Purpose



The purpose of the Plan is to provide its participants with (i) additional incentive to further the
growth, development and financial success of the Company, and (ii) an inducement to remain in the
service of the Company, by offering benefits to supplement other benefits they may be entitled to
receive at the time of their retirement.

benefits payable to his Beneficiary, shall be determined by the Committee at the time he is
designated as a Participant and shall be set forth in a Letter of Grant. In general terms, the
benefit will be based on a designated percentage of his Average Compensation.



Section 3.2 Vesting



A Participant shall be fully vested in his SERP Benefit upon attaining age 65 while an employee of
the Company, or upon any such earlier date as the Committee designates with respect to him.
Otherwise non-vested SERP Benefits shall vest upon the Participant’s death or Disability while an
employee of the Company; or upon his involuntary Separation from Service without Cause, which
includes an involuntary Separation from Service due to a Change in Control; or upon his Separation
from Service for Good Reason; provided, however, the vesting provisions set forth in a Letter of
Grant if different shall control.



ARTICLE IV – TIME AND FORM OF PAYMENT




Section 4.1 Form of Payment



The form in which each Participant’s SERP Benefit is paid under the Plan shall be the same form of
payment either specified or, if applicable, elected under the terms of the BRP. A Participant who
had not received or commenced to receive SERP Benefits as of


December 31, 2008, was permitted to make a 2008 Transition Election regarding the form of payment.



Section 4.2 Time of Payment




	(a)	 	Benefit Commencement Date. A Participant’s SERP Benefit shall be paid as of the same Benefit
Commencement Date determined under the BRP based on the Payment Events described thereunder.






	(b)	 	6-month Delay. As provided for in the BRP, to the extent a Participant is a Key Employee and
is entitled to a SERP Benefit as a result of a Separation from Service, the Participant’s
Benefit Commencement Date shall be the first day of the month coincident with or next
following the date that is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service, unless
an earlier payment complies with a permissible Code Section 409A exception (e.g., the payment
of employment taxes).






	(c)	 	Interest on Delayed Payments. At the end of the six-month period described in Section
4.2(b), the Plan shall provide the Participant with a one-time payment equal to the amount the
participant would have been entitled to receive if his Benefit Commencement Date had been the
first day of the month following his Separation from Service, together with Interest.






	(d)	 	2008 Transition Election. A Participant who had not received or commenced to receive SERP
Benefits under the Plan as of December 31, 2008, was permitted to make a 2008 Transition
Election with respect to a time of payment for the Participant’s BRP Benefit and SERP Benefit
payable upon Separation from Service, and the Participant’s SERP Benefit hereunder shall be
paid in accordance with the elected, or deemed elected, time of payment, if he has a
Separation from Service except if the Participant is subject to the time of payment
restriction described in Section 5.2(c) of BRP (which relates to an election to change the
form of payment). On and after January 1, 2009, a Participant will not be permitted to elect a
Benefit Commencement Date, except to the extent the election permitted under Section 5.2(c) of
the BRP is made, which shall require that the vested SERP Benefit be paid at the same time as
the BRP Benefit based on the applicable restrictions for such election.





Section 4.3 Combined Cashout




	(a)	 	De Minimis Cashout. Pursuant to the terms of the BRP, if the Actuarially Equivalent Lump Sum
present value of all nonaccount balance nonqualified plan benefits is less than the Code
Section 402(g) limit as of the Participant’s Separation from Service, the Company shall pay
the Participant (or Beneficiary) the entire SERP Benefit (or Death Benefit) in a Lump Sum;
provided, all of the Participant’s nonaccount balance nonqualified plan benefits are also paid
in a lump sum as of the same date.






	(b)	 	Large Cashout. Pursuant to the terms of the BRP, if the combined Actuarially Equivalent Lump
Sum present value of the SERP Benefit and the BRP Benefit is less than or equal to $50,000 as
of the Participant’s Benefit Commencement Date, the Company shall pay the Participant (or
Beneficiary) the entire SERP Benefit (or Death Benefit) in a Lump Sum; provided, the
Participant’s BRP benefit is also to be paid at the same time and in the same form.





Section 4.4 Other Permissible Delays or Accelerations



If the Committee determines that a delay or an acceleration of a benefit is appropriate and
complies with the requirements under Code Section 409A (e.g., a delay to comply with Code Section
162(m) or an acceleration to pay employment taxes), the Committee may either delay or accelerate
the payment of a Benefit in accordance with the terms of Code Section 409A in its sole discretion
as it deems advisable. If any payment is delayed in accordance with this provision, the Company
shall pay such delayed payments together with Interest upon the expiration of the period of the
delay.



ARTICLE V — DEATH BENEFIT




To the extent a vested SERP Benefit is first payable due to the death of the Participant, and the
Participant is survived by the spouse to whom he was married on his date of his death, such spouse
shall be entitled to a Death Benefit paid at the same time and in the same form as the “death
benefit” under the BRP. The Death Benefit payable under the Plan shall be the Actuarial Equivalent
amount of the SERP Benefit that would be payable if, before the Participant’s date of the death,
the Participant attained age 65 (or such other age specified in a Letter of Grant), commenced his
SERP Benefit in the form of a Joint and Survivor Annuity (based on a percentage designated by the
Committee, which generally shall be 50%), and then died.



If a Participant is not married at the time of his death before his Benefit Commencement Date, then
all SERP Benefits with respect to the Participant shall be forfeited. To the extent a Participant
dies after another Payment Event has occurred, but before his Benefit Commencement Date, the
Benefit shall be accelerated and the amount described under Section 4.5 of the BRP shall be paid to
the Beneficiary in a Lump Sum, as permitted under Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder.



ARTICLE VI — DESIGNATION OF JOINT/CONTINGENT ANNUITANTS

At any time prior to the first payment hereunder a Participant shall have the right to designate,
revoke or redesignate a Joint/Contingent Annuitant to receive the survivor portion of any SERP
Benefits paid in the form of an Annuity under the Plan in accordance with the Participant’s
designated form of benefit; provided, that the Joint /Contingent Annuitant shall be the same
individual designated by the Participant for an Annuity under the BRP. Designation, revocation and
redesignation of Joint/Contingent Annuitant shall be made in writing in accordance with procedures
established by the Committee.



ARTICLE VII — ADMINISTRATION




Section 7.1 Administrative Authority and Actions



The “Administrator” (the Committee or its delegate), shall conduct the general administration of
the Plan and shall have the necessary power and authority to interpret any provisions of the Plan
and specifically to determine a person’s status as a Participant and the SERP Benefits which he
shall receive. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Administrator shall have the power and
authority to engage actuaries, attorneys, accountants or other consultants necessary to provide
advice and consultation if, in the determination of the Committee, such consultation is required to
interpret or implement any provision of the Plan properly and equitably.



Section 7.2 Binding Determinations



All actions taken and all determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and
binding upon all Participants and any person interested in the Plan.



ARTICLE VIII — CLAIMS PROCEDURES




Section 8.1 Claims Procedures



The claims procedures hereunder shall be in accordance with the claims procedures set forth in the
Qualified Plan; provided that for purposes of the claims procedures under this Plan, the review
official described in the Qualified Plan shall be the Committee.



ARTICLE IX — MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS




Section 9.1 Payment



The receipt of any person entitled to payment under the Plan (or payment to such person at the last
address on file with the Company) shall be a complete discharge to the Company, its directors and
employees, and the Administrator. If the Administrator determines that a person entitled to a
payment under the Plan is unable (by reason of physical or mental condition) to give a valid
receipt for such payment, payment shall instead be made to such other person found by the
Administrator to have assumed the care of such person.



Section 9.2 Amendment, Termination or Suspension of the Plan




	(a)	 	The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Committee at any time. Such amendment or
termination may modify or eliminate any benefit hereunder other than a benefit or a portion of
a benefit that is vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not amend or
terminate the Plan in a manner that violates the applicable provisions of Code Section 409A
and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including, but not limited to, the applicable time
and form of payment requirements set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b), the
applicable prohibitions on accelerations set forth in Treasury Regulations Section
1.409A-3(j), and the plan termination and liquidation provisions set forth in Treasury
Regulations Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).






	(b)	 	If the Committee determines that payments under the Plan would jeopardize the ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
1.409A-3(d), the Committee may suspend payments under the Plan temporarily for such time as in
its sole discretion it deems advisable; provided, the payments shall resume no later than the
first taxable year in which the Company determines that making such payments would not
jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company shall pay
such suspended payments immediately upon the expiration of the period of suspension together
with Interest.






	(c)	 	The Plan is intended to provide benefits for a “select group of management or highly
compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA, and therefore
to be exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA. Accordingly, the
Plan shall terminate and, except for benefits or portions of benefits that have vested, no
further benefits shall be paid hereunder in the event it is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction or by an opinion of the Company’s regular outside employee benefits counsel that
the Plan constitutes an employee pension benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(2) of
ERISA which is not so exempt.





Section 9.3 Limitation on Rights of Employees



The Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Company and shall not constitute a
contract between the Company and any Employee, or consideration for, or an inducement or condition
of, the employment of an Employee. Nothing contained in the Plan shall give any Employee the right
to be retained in the service of the Company or to interfere with or restrict the right of the
Company, which is hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or retire any Employee, except as
provided by law, at any time without notice and with or without cause. Inclusion under the Plan
will not give any Employee any right or claim to any benefit hereunder except to the extent such
right has specifically become fixed under the terms of the Plan and there are funds available
therefore in the hands of the Company. The doctrine of substantial performance shall have no
application to Employees, Participants or any other persons entitled to payments under the Plan.
Each condition and provision, including numerical items, has been carefully considered and
constitutes the minimum limit on performance, which will give rise to the applicable right.



Section 9.4 Plan Binding in Event of Consolidation or Merger; Adoption of Plan by Other Companies




	(a)	 	In the event of the consolidation or merger of a Company with or into any other corporation,
this Plan shall be binding on such new corporation.






	(b)	 	Any Company Affiliate may, with the approval of the Committee, adopt the Plan as a whole
company or as to any one or more divisions by resolution of its own board of directors or
agreement of its partners in order to become an Employer. Such Company Affiliate shall give
written notice of such adoption to the Committee by its duly authorized officers.





Section 9.5 Assignments, etc. Prohibited




	(a)	 	Except for the withholding of any tax under the laws of the United States or any state or
locality, no part of a Participant’s Benefit hereunder shall be liable for the debts,
contracts or engagements of any Participant, his beneficiaries, contingent annuitants, or
successors in interest, or be taken in execution by levy, attachment or garnishment or by any
other legal or equitable proceeding prior to distribution, nor shall any such person have any
rights to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any Benefits or payments
hereunder in any manner whatsoever except to designate a beneficiary or contingent annuitant
as provided in the Plan.






	(b)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment may be made from a Participant’s SERP Benefit under
the Plan to an alternate payee pursuant to an approved domestic relations order as permitted
under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-2(b)(4) and 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii).






	 	(i)	 	The Committee shall establish reasonable procedures for reviewing court orders
made, pursuant to state domestic relations law (including a community property law),
relating to child support, alimony payments, or marital property rights of a spouse,
former spouse, child, or other dependent of a Participant and for notifying
Participants and alternate payees of the receipt of such orders and of the Plan’s
procedures for determining if the orders are approved domestic relations orders and for
administering distributions under approved domestic relations orders.






	 	(ii)	 	Except as may otherwise be required by applicable law, such domestic relations
orders may not require a retroactive transfer of all or part of a Participant’s SERP
Benefit.





Section 9.6 Errors and Misstatements



Only to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A and any correction program that may be issued
thereunder, in the event of any misstatement or omission of fact by a Participant to the Committee
or any clerical error resulting in payment of SERP Benefits in an incorrect amount, the Committee
shall promptly cause the amount of future payments to be corrected upon discovery of the facts and
shall cause the Company to pay the Participant or any other person entitled to payment under the
Plan any underpayment in cash in a Lump Sum or to recoup any overpayment from future payments to
the Participant or any other person entitled to payment under the Plan in such amounts as the
Committee shall direct or to proceed against the Participant or any other person entitled to
payment under the Plan for recovery of any such overpayment.



Section 9.7 Payment on Behalf of Minor, Etc.



In the event any amount becomes payable under the Plan to a minor or a person who, in the sole
judgment of the Committee is considered by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to
give a valid receipt therefore, the Committee may direct that such payment be made to any person
found by the Committee in its sole judgment, to have assumed the care of such minor or other
person. Any payment made pursuant to such determination shall constitute a full release and
discharge of the Company, the Board, the Committee and their officers, directors and employees.

federal laws and, where, state law is applicable, the laws of the State of California.



Section 9.9 Pronouns and Plurality

context so indicates.

or construction of the Plan.

document shall be construed as referring to any subsequently enacted, adopted or executed statute,
regulation or document.
