eligible for a Base Benefit if: 
  

	 	(a)	Subject to Sections 4.2 and 4.3, the Employee’s employment is terminated as a result of a Change in Control (or constructively terminated by not being provided a Comparable

	 	(b)	The Employee’s employment is not terminated for Cause; and 

  

	 	(c)	The Employee executes a waiver and release agreement in such form as determined by the Committee (the “Waiver and Release Agreement”) and returns the Waiver and Release

 For purposes of this Section 4.1, termination of employment includes termination of a Comparable Position that the Employee has accepted pursuant to
an offer described in Section 4.2(b) below. 
 Section 4.2 Employees Not Eligible For Severance Benefits. An Employee shall
not be entitled to a Base Benefit set forth in Article V if: 
  

	 	(a)	The Employee has in force prior to the Effective Date an employment contract or severance agreement with a Member Company that includes provision for the payment of severance
benefits upon the termination of employment with the Member Company upon a Change in Control, unless such severance benefits are less than the Base Benefit provided for in the Plan (in which case the Employee shall be entitled to the Base Benefit
provided in the Plan in lieu of the severance benefits provided under such agreement); or 

  

	 	(b)	The Employee is provided a Comparable Position (as defined in Section 4.3 below) by the successor employer or by a Member Company, regardless of whether the Employee accepts
the offer; or 

  

	 	(c)	The Employee’s employment is involuntarily terminated for Cause; or

Employee immediately prior to the effective time of the Change in Control; 

  

	 	(b)	Is based at a principal place of employment that would not require the Employee to increase his normal one-way commute from his home to the new primary work site by more than
thirty-five (35) miles each way; 

 In addition, for an Employee who is a non-exempt staff member, a new position shall
not be considered a Comparable Position if the position entails a material change (reduction or increase) in the number of scheduled work hours per pay period or in scheduled shift worked (but not in scheduled days of the week worked) from those
worked by the Employee immediately prior to the effective time of the Change in Control. 
 An Employee’s employment shall be considered
terminated by a Member Company as a result of a Change in Control for purposes of Section 4.1 above, without a Comparable Position being provided for purposes of Section 4.2 above, if (i) the Employee’s position is changed such
that it would no longer be considered a Comparable Position under the criteria set forth above, or (ii) any successor in interest to the Member Company pursuant to the Change in Control fails to assume all obligations of the Member Company
under this Plan, or (iii) the Member Company or its successor materially breaches any provision of this Plan pertaining to the Employee or materially breaches any material agreement between the Member Company or its successor and the Employee,

such condition within 30 days following receipt of such notice. 
 ARTICLE V 
 SEVERANCE BENEFITS 
 Section 5.1 Calculation of Severance Benefit.
Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 5.6, a Participant whose employment is terminated (or constructively terminated by not being offered a Comparable Position as defined in Section 4.3) as a result of a Change in Control,
shall be entitled to receive a Base Benefit under this Plan as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	Designated Employees. A Participant who is a Designated Employee shall be entitled to receive a Base Benefit equal to the number of months of Pay set forth on Schedule
A. 

  

 7 

	 	(b)	Senior Vice Presidents and Executive Vice Presidents. A Participant who is a Senior Vice President, Executive Vice President or a Specialty Finance Business Unit President of
a Member Company who is not a member of the Senior Management Council and is not a Designated Employee shall be entitled to receive a Base Benefit equal to twelve (12) months of Pay. 

  

	 	(c)	Vice Presidents and Assistant Vice Presidents. A Participant who is a Vice President or Assistant Vice President of a Member Company shall be entitled to receive a Base
Benefit equal to six (6) months of Pay. 

  

	 	(d)	Exempt and Non-Exempt Staff. Employees of a Member Company who are either exempt or non-exempt staff shall be entitled to receive a Base Benefit equal to the greater of
(i) three (3) months of Pay or (ii) two weeks of Pay for each full Year of Service. 

 A Participant shall not
be entitled to a Base Benefit under more than one of the subsections (a) through (d) above. 
 Participants entitled to a Base
Benefit shall also receive the following severance benefits: (1) for a period equivalent to the number of months (weeks) of Pay on which the Base Benefit is determined, health care benefits (or COBRA coverage) under the Company’s group
health care plans then in effect on terms offered to current employees, to the extent such coverage is available and timely elected by the Participant under such Company plans, and, if under COBRA coverage, until such earlier time as the Participant
has other group healthcare coverage or has declined COBRA coverage; (2) outplacement services deemed appropriate by the Committee; and (3) a pro-rated bonus for work performed during the year in which employment termination occurs under
the bonus program applicable to the Participant for such year. Proration of the bonus amount shall be based on the number of months the Participant was employed during the year of termination and the performance level of the Participant, subject to
the Participant achieving at least a satisfactory performance evaluation for such year. 
 For purposes of calculating a Participant’s
severance benefits under Section 5.1(d), the Plan shall take into account only consecutive Years of Service beginning with the Participant’s most recent date of hire or rehire and it shall not take into account partial Years of Service,
nor shall a Participant receive severance benefits for years of Service for which he previously received severance benefits under the Plan. 
 Section 5.2 Golden Parachute Restriction. 
  

	 	(a)	 Reduction for “Parachute Payment.” Notwithstanding anything above in this Article V, if a Participant is a “disqualified individual” (as
defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code), and the severance benefit provided for in Section 5.1, together with any other payments which the Participant has the right to receive from a Member Company would constitute a 

  

 8 

	 	 
“parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), the severance benefit shall be reduced. The reduction shall be in an
amount so that the present value of the total amount received by the Participant from a Member Company will be One Dollar ($1.00) less than three (3) times the Participant’s base amount (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) and so
that no portion of the amounts received by the Participant shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. 

  

	 	(b)	Deferred Compensation and Reimbursements Exception. In no circumstances will a Member Company reduce the severance benefits payable to a Participant on account of the
restrictions of this Section 5.2 by the amounts the Participant has the right to receive under an executive deferred compensation plan of the Member Company (Deferred Compensation Plan), amounts paid or payable to the Participant under such a
Deferred Compensation Plan to reimburse him either fully or partially for excise tax and/or income tax on the reimbursement (gross up amounts), or amounts paid or payable to the Participant as indemnification for attorney’s fees and legal
expenses. 

  

	 	(c)	Determination of Reduction. The determination as to whether any reduction in the severance benefit is necessary shall be made by a Participant’s Member Company in good
faith, and the determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Participant. 

  

	 	(d)	Repayment of Excess Amount. If through error or otherwise the Participant should receive payments under this Plan, together with other payments the Participant has the right
to receive from a Member Company, excluding Deferred Compensation Plan payments in excess of One Dollar ($1.00) less than three times his base amount, the Participant shall immediately repay the excess to the Member Company upon notification that an
overpayment has been made. 

 Section 5.3 Payment of Benefits. The Company shall pay severance benefits to a
Participant whose employment is terminated on account of a Change in Control in the form of a lump sum. The Company shall make such lump sum payment as soon as administratively practicable and in no event later than thirty (30) days following
the receipt by the Company of a timely and properly executed Waiver and Release Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment hereunder is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” that is to be made to a Participant who
is a “specified employee,” in each case as defined and determined for purposes of Code Section 409A, within six months following a Participant’s termination of employment, then such payment shall be delayed and paid on the first
day of the seventh calendar month following the Participant’s termination of employment to the extent that such payment is not otherwise exempt from the application of the 20% excise tax under Code Section 409A. 
 Section 5.4 Payment Offset. A Member Company reserves the right to offset the benefits payable under Section 5.1 by any advance, loan or
other monies a Participant owes the Member Company. All applicable federal, state and local taxes shall be withheld from all severance payments. 
  

 9 

 Section 5.5 Unfunded Plan. The obligations of a Member Company under this Plan may be funded
through contributions to a trust or otherwise, but the obligations of the Member Company are not required to be funded under this Plan unless required by law. Nothing contained in this Plan shall give a Participant any right, title or interest in
any property of the Member Company. 
 Section 5.6 Prohibition Against Golden Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding any provision
of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant who is an institution affiliated party as the term is defined in Section 359.1(h) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Rules and Regulations (“FDIC Rules and Regs”) shall be entitled
to the payment of any severance benefit under the Plan to the extent that such payment shall be deemed a “golden parachute payment” as the term is defined in FDIC Rules and Regs. Section 359.1(f)(i)(ii) or (iii).

Services and its Subsidiaries, (iv) signing bonuses or retention pay, (v) warrant income, (vi) premiums, supplements, imputed income, living, auto or other allowances or (vii) any other extra pay. The average of such annual cash

bonus, divided by the number of calendar years (not exceeding three) that the Eligible Employee was eligible to receive such an annual cash incentive bonus. In calculating such average, any partial calendar year of employment commencing on or before
September 30 of such year shall be treated as a full calendar year (i.e., both the year and 

  

 5 

 
any actual bonus amount for such year shall be included in the calculation of average bonus), and any partial calendar year of employment commencing after

 ARTICLE IV 
 ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS 
 Section 4.1 Employees Eligible for Severance Benefits. Except as provided in this Section 4.1 and in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 and subject to Section 5.6, an Eligible Employee whose employment is
terminated by a Member Company on or after the Effective Date shall be eligible for a Base Benefit if: 
  

	 	(a)	Subject to Section 4.2, the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated as a result of a Change in Control (or constructively terminated by not being provided a
Comparable Position (as defined in Section 4.3)) within one (1) year following the effective time of the Change in Control (the “effective time” of the Change in Control will have the same meaning provided in Section 7.2);
and 

  

	 	(b)	The Eligible Employee’s employment is not terminated for Cause; and 

  

	 	(c)	The Employee executes a waiver and release agreement in such form as determined by the Committee (the “Waiver and Release Agreement”) and returns the Waiver and Release
Agreement to the Member Company within the time period (not to exceed 45 days or such longer period as may be required by applicable law) specified in the Waiver and Release Agreement. 

 Section 4.2 Employees Not Eligible For Severance Benefits. An Eligible Employee shall not be entitled to a Base Benefit set forth in Article
V if: 
  

	 	(a)	The Employee has in force prior to the Effective Date an employment contract or executive severance agreement with a Member Company that includes provision for the payment of
severance benefits upon the termination of his employment with the Member Company upon a Change in Control, unless such severance benefits are less than the Base Benefit provided for in the Plan (in which case the Employee shall be entitled to the
Base Benefit provided in the Plan in lieu of the severance benefits provided under such agreement); or 

  

 6 

	 	(b)	The Eligible Employee is provided a Comparable Position (as defined in Section 4.3 below) by the successor employer or by a Member Company, regardless of whether the Eligible
Employee accepts the offer; or 

  

	 	(c)	The Eligible Employee’s employment is involuntarily terminated for Cause; or 

  

	 	(d)	The Eligible Employee fails to perform his assigned job duties through the date specified by a Member Company as his termination date; or 

  

	 	(e)	The Eligible Employee accepts an offer of employment with a Member Company after the Company’s public announcement of the event or events that subsequently constitute the
Change in Control; or 

  

	 	(f)	The Eligible Employee fails to return a properly executed Waiver and Release Agreement on a timely basis. 

 Section 4.3 Comparable Position. For purposes of Section 4.2, a “Comparable Position” shall mean a position that meets each of
the following requirements: 
  

	 	(a)	Provides a regular base salary that is not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the regular base salary of the position held by the Eligible Employee immediately prior to
the effective time of the Change in Control; 

  

	 	(b)	Is based at a principal place of employment that would not require the Eligible Employee to increase his normal one-way commute from his home to the new primary work site by more
than thirty-five (35) miles each way; 

  

	 	(c)	Entails overall duties and responsibilities that are not a substantial diminution of the Eligible Employee’s duties and responsibilities immediately prior to the effective time
of the Change in Control. 

 If an Eligible Employee is offered a position of limited duration, not to exceed one year
following the effective time of the Change in Control, which position meets requirements (a) and (b) above but not the requirements of (c) above, then the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to a Base Benefit set forth in Article V
only if the Eligible Employee continues in employment for the required period of limited duration (without regard to the fact that the termination does not occur prior to the first anniversary of the Change in Control). In this latter event,
“Pay” shall be the greater of what such “Pay” would be calculated as of termination of the Eligible Employee’s original position and termination of the position of limited duration. 
 An Eligible Employee’s employment shall be considered terminated by a Member Company as a result of a Change in Control for purposes of
Section 4.1 above, without a Comparable Position being provided for purposes of Section 4.2 above, if (i) the Eligible Employee’s position is changed such that it would no longer be considered a Comparable Position under the
criteria set forth above, or (ii) any successor in interest to the Member 

  

 7 

 
Company pursuant to the Change in Control fails to assume all obligations of the Member Company under this Plan, or (iii) the Member Company or its
successor materially breaches any provision of this Plan pertaining to the Eligible Employee or materially breaches any material agreement between the Member Company or its successor and the Eligible Employee, in each case which condition continues
after written notice from the Eligible Employee to the Member Company or its successor given within 90 days of the Change in Control and a reasonable opportunity by the Member Company or its successor to correct any such condition within 30 days
following receipt of such notice. 
 ARTICLE V 
 SEVERANCE BENEFITS 
 Section 5.1 Calculation of Severance Benefit. Subject to the
provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 5.6, a Participant whose employment is terminated (or constructively terminated by not being offered a Comparable Position (as defined in Section 4.3)) as a result of a Change in Control, shall be
entitled to receive a Base Benefit under this Plan as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	Managing Committee. A Participant who is a member of the Company’s Managing Committee shall be entitled to receive a Base Benefit equal to thirty (30) months of
Pay. 

  

	 	(b)	Senior Management Council. A Participant who is a member of the Senior Management Council of a Member Company (other than those members who are also members of the Managing
Committee) shall be entitled to receive a Base Benefit equal to eighteen (18) months of Pay. 

 Participants entitled to a
Base Benefit shall also receive the following severance benefits: (1) for a period equivalent to the number of months of Pay on which the Base Benefit is determined, health care benefits (or COBRA coverage) under the Company’s group
healthcare plans then in effect on terms offered to current employees, to the extent such coverage is available and timely elected by the Participant under such Company plans, and, if under COBRA coverage, until such earlier time as the Participant
has other group healthcare coverage or has declined COBRA coverage; (2) outplacement services deemed appropriate by the Committee; and (3) a pro-rated bonus for work performed during the year in which employment termination occurs under
the bonus program applicable to the Participant for such year. Proration of the bonus amount shall be based on the number of months the Participant was employed during the year of termination and the performance level of the Participant, subject to
the Participant receiving at least a satisfactory performance evaluation for such year. 
 Section 5.2 Indemnity. 
  

	 	(a)	 Except as provided in Section 5.2(e) below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment by the Company to or for the benefit of a Participant pursuant
to the terms of this Plan (a “Payment”) would subject a Participant to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by a Participant with respect to such 

  

 8 

	 	 
excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then
such Participant shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by such Participant of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes),
including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, such Participant retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax
imposed upon the payments. 

  

	 	(b)	Subject to the provisions of the next paragraph, all determinations required to be made under this Plan, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of
such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a certified public accounting firm designated by the Committee (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting
calculations both to the Company and the Participant within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Participant that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting
Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Plan, shall be paid by the Company to the Participant within five days of the later of (i) the due date for the payment of any Excise Tax, and
(ii) the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at
the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to
be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to the next paragraph and the Participant thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment
that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant. 

  

	 	(c)	 As a condition to indemnification hereunder, each Participant must notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful,
would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment and comply with the rules in this paragraph (c) and in paragraph (d). Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but not later than ten business days after the
Participant is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Participant shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day
period following the date on which the Participant gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to 

  

 9 

	 	 
such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Participant in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the
Participant must: (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time
to time, including, without limitation, accepting representation with respect to such claim by an attorney or accountant reasonably selected by the Company, (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such
claim, and (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties)
incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Participant harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such
representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and
all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Participant to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any
permissible manner, and the Participant must prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided,
however, that if the Company directs the Participant to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Participant, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the Participant
harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and provided,
further, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Participant with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount.
Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Participant shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue
raised by the IRS or any other taxing authority. 

  

	 	(d)	 If, after the receipt by the Participant of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to this letter agreement, the Participant becomes entitled to receive any
refund with respect to such claim, the Participant must (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of the preceding paragraph) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited
thereon after taxes 

  

 10 

	 	 
applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Participant of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to the preceding paragraph, a determination is
made that the Participant shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Participant in writing of its intent to contest such denial or refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such
determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 

  

	 	(e)	Participants who are members of the Company’s Senior Management Council of a Member Company shall not be entitled to the foregoing benefits of this Section 5.2 and instead
shall be subject to the provisions set forth on Exhibit B. 

 Section 5.3 Payment of Benefits. The Company
shall pay severance benefits to a Participant whose employment is terminated on account of a Change in Control in the form of a lump sum. The Company shall make such lump sum payment as soon as administratively practicable and in no event later than
thirty (30) days following the receipt by the Company of a timely and properly executed Waiver and Release Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment hereunder is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” that is
to be made to a Participant who is a “specified employee,” in each case as defined and determined for purposes of Code Section 409A, within six months following a Participant’s termination of employment, then such payment shall
be delayed and paid on the first day of the seventh calendar month following the Participant’s termination of employment to the extent that such payment is not otherwise exempt from the application of the 20% excise tax under Code
Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment is to be made in calendar year 2007, and if any portion of such payment that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” as defined and determined for purposes of Code
Section 409A would have been paid after the end of calendar year 2007 under the payment schedule provided in the Plan prior to its amendment and restatement effective June 19, 2007, then such portion of such payment shall be delayed and
paid on the first business day of calendar year 2008. 
 Section 5.4 Payment Offset. A Member Company reserves the right to
offset the benefits payable under Section 5.1 by any advance, loan or other monies a Participant owes the Member Company. All applicable federal, state and local taxes shall be withheld from all severance payments. 
 Section 5.5 Unfunded Plan. The obligations of a Member Company under this Plan may be funded through contributions to a trust or otherwise,
but the obligations of the Member Company are not required to be funded under this Plan unless required by law. Nothing contained in this Plan shall give a Participant any right, title or interest in any property of the Member Company. 

Section 5.6 Prohibition against Certain Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant shall be
entitled to receive, and a Member Company shall not pay, any amount under this Plan that is prohibited by Section 359.1(h) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Rules and Regulations.

Plan, other than for any liabilities or expenses arising out of such fiduciary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. A fiduciary shall not be responsible for any breach of responsibility of any other fiduciary except to the extent provided
in Section 405 of ERISA.

will describe the special circumstances necessitating the additional time and the date by which the Committee is to render its decision on the application. 
  

	 	(c)	Request for a Review. Any person (or that person’s authorized representative) for whom an application for benefits is denied, in whole or in part, may appeal the denial
by submitting a request for a review to the Committee within sixty (60) days after the application is denied. A request for a review shall be in writing and shall be addressed to: 

 Plan Committee 
 Greater Bay Bancorp 

1900 University Avenue, Suite 600 
 East Palo
Alto, CA 94303 
 A request for review must set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts in support of the request and any
other matters that the applicant feels are pertinent. The applicant (or his representative) shall have the opportunity to submit (or the Committee may require the applicant to submit) written comments, documents, records, and other information
relating to his claim. The applicant (or his representative) shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to his claim. The review shall take into
account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the applicant (or his representative) relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

  

	 	(d)	Decision on Review. The Committee will act on each request for review within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request, unless special circumstances require an
extension of time (not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days), for processing the request for a review. If an extension for review is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant within the initial sixty
(60) day period. This notice of extension will describe the special circumstances necessitating the additional time and the date by which the Committee is to render its decision on the review. The Committee will give prompt, written or
electronic notice of its decision to the applicant. Any electronic notice will comply with the regulations of the U.S. Department of Labor. In the event that the Committee confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, the
notice will set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, the following: 

  

	 	(i)	the specific reason or reasons for the denial; 

  

 14 

	 	(ii)	references to the specific Plan provisions upon which the denial is based; 

  

	 	(iii)	a statement that the applicant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to
his claim (excluding those protected by legal privilege); and 

  

	 	(iv)	a statement of the applicant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA. 

  

	 	(e)	Rules and Procedures. The Committee will establish rules and procedures, consistent with the Plan and with ERISA, as necessary and appropriate in carrying out its
responsibilities in reviewing benefit claims. The Committee may require an applicant who wishes to submit additional information in connection with an appeal from the denial of benefits to do so at the applicant’s own expense.

  

	 	(f)	Exhaustion of Remedies. No legal action for benefits under the Plan may be brought until the claimant (i) has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance
with the procedures described by Section 6.5(a) above, (ii) has been notified by the Committee that the application is denied, (iii) has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with the appeal procedure
described in Section 6.5(c) above, and (iv) has been notified that the Committee has denied the appeal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee does not respond to a Participant’s claim or appeal within the relevant time
limits specified in this Section 6.5, the Participant may bring legal action for benefits under the Plan pursuant to Section 502(a) of ERISA.

 EXHIBIT A 
 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED] 
  

 17 

 EXHIBIT B 
 Golden Parachute Restriction. 
  

	 	(a)	Reduction for “Parachute Payment.” Notwithstanding anything above in this Plan, if a Participant is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in
Section 280G(c) of the Code), and the severance benefit provided for in Section 5.1, together with any other payments which the Participant has the right to receive from a Member Company would constitute a “parachute payment” (as
defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), the severance benefit shall be reduced. The reduction shall be in an amount so that the present value of the total amount received by the Participant from a Member Company will be One Dollar ($1.00)
less than three (3) times the Participant’s base amount (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) and so that no portion of the amounts received by the Participant shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the
Code. 

  

	 	(b)	Deferred Compensation and Reimbursements Exception. In no circumstances will a Member Company reduce the severance benefits payable to a Participant on account of the
restrictions of this Exhibit by the amounts the Participant has the right to receive under an executive deferred compensation plan of the Member Company (Deferred Compensation Plan), amounts paid or payable to the Participant under such a Deferred
Compensation Plan to reimburse him either fully or partially for excise tax and/or income tax on the reimbursement (gross up amounts), or amounts paid or payable to the Participant as indemnification for attorney’s fees and legal expenses.

  

	 	(c)	Determination of Reduction. The determination as to whether any reduction in the severance benefit is necessary shall be made by a Participant’s Member Company in good
faith, and the determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Participant. 

  

	 	(d)	Repayment of Excess Amount. If through error or otherwise the Participant should receive payments under this Plan, together with other payments the Participant has the right
to receive from a Member Company, excluding Deferred Compensation Plan payments in excess of One Dollar ($1.00) less than three times his base amount, the Participant shall immediately repay the excess to the Member Company upon notification that an
overpayment has been made.
