 ARTICLE III - BENEFITS 
 Section 3.1 Retirement Plan Benefits. 
 (a) Coordinating Final Average Pay Benefit. The annual Coordinating Final
Average Pay Benefit shall be equal to (1) minus (2), adjusted in accordance with (3), below, where: 
 (1) is the
Participant’s final average pay benefit from the Retirement Plan payable to the Participant as of his or her Normal Retirement Date in a Single Life Only Annuity taking into account any reduction applicable under the Retirement Plan for benefit
payments under other qualified plans, but without taking into account the additional benefits described in Exhibit D of the Retirement Plan or the limitations of Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code. 
 (2) is the Participant’s actual final average pay benefit that would be payable to him or her from the Retirement Plan as of his or
her Normal Retirement Date in a Single Life Only Annuity. 
 (3) is any of the following adjustments, as applicable:

  

	 	(i)	If the benefit commences before Normal Retirement Date, the benefit shall be reduced prior to commencement by the early retirement reductions that would be applied to reduce final
average pay benefit payable under the Retirement Plan before Normal Retirement Date; 

  

 -6- 

	 	(ii)	the benefit shall be reduced or increased at least annually to reflect increases or reductions in the limitations of Section 415 of the Code applicable to the
Participant’s final average pay benefit under the Retirement Plan; and 

  

	 	(iii)	if the Participant participated in the RPRO, the benefit shall be reduced prior to commencement by the RPRO Offset. 

 (b) RPRO Make-up Payment. A Participant who participated in the RPRO shall be eligible for a RPRO Make-up Payment equal to the shortfall, if any,
of (i) the Participant’s RPRO Lump Sum Target Amount less (ii) the sum of the net cash surrender value of the applicable life insurance policy purchased for such Participant under the RPRO as determined as of the later of the
Participant’s Rollout Date or Separation from Service. 
 Section 3.2 Timing. The Coordinating Final Average Pay Benefit
shall commence on the first day of the seventh calendar month that begins after the later of the RPRO Rollout Date or the Participant’s Separation from Service in the form described in Section 3.3. The RPRO Make-Up Payment shall be paid on
the first day of the seventh calendar month that begins after the Participant’s Separation from Service in the form described in Section 3.3. 
 Section 3.3 Form of Benefit. 
 (a) Coordinating Final Average Pay Benefit. 
 (1) Annuity Form. Subject to Section 3.3(a)(2), the Coordinating Final Average Pay Benefit shall be paid in a Single Life Only
Annuity if the Participant is not married on the date as of which benefits commence and in a Qualified Joint and 

  

 -7- 

 
Survivor Annuity if the Participant is married on the date as of which benefits commence. Alternatively, a Participant may elect to receive a Single Life
Only Annuity, a Joint and Survivor Annuity or a Single Life Annuity with 120-Month Guarantee; provided such election is made on or before the Participant’s Separation from Service. The form of annuity shall be irrevocable after the
Participant’s Separation from Service. 
 (2) Lump Sum. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, if the
dollar amount of the monthly annuity benefit of the Participant’s Coordinating Final Average Pay Benefit (when aggregated with dollar amount of the monthly benefit attributable to the Participant’s interest in each other deferred
compensation arrangements required to be aggregated with the Coordinating Final Average Pay Benefit under Section 409A (collectively, the “Required Aggregation Group”)) does not exceed the lesser of (i) $85.00 per month or
(ii) that monthly benefit the Present Value of which would not exceed the dollar limitation under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B), then the Present Value of such benefit (and the Present Value of the Participant’s benefits under each
arrangement in the Required Aggregation Group) shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum at the time described in Section 3.2. 
 (b) RPRO Make-up Payment. The RPRO Make-up Payment shall be paid in a lump sum. 
 ARTICLE IV - COORDINATING SURVIVOR
BENEFIT. 
 Section 4.1 Coordinating Survivor Benefit. 
 (a) Coordinating Final Average Pay Survivor Benefit. Upon the death of a Participant (other than a Participant who was receiving a death benefit
under the Prior Plan) before commencement of a Coordinating Final Average Pay Benefit, such Participant’s surviving Spouse or Domestic Partner, if he or she is entitled to receive a Preretirement Survivor Annuity under the Retirement Plan,

  

 -8- 

 
shall be entitled to receive an annual Coordinating Survivor Benefit from this Plan equal to the amount of the survivor benefit that would be payable to such
Spouse or Domestic Partner if the Participant had Separated from Service on the earlier of his or her actual Separation from Service or the date of his or her death, elected to receive his or her benefit under Section 3.1(a) in the form of a
50% Joint and Survivor Annuity with his or her Spouse or Domestic Partner, and died immediately after beginning to receive such benefit. The Coordinating Final Average Pay Survivor Benefit will be adjusted for changes in limitations under
Section 415 of the Code in a manner similar to Section 3.1(a)(3)(ii). 
 Section 4.2 Timing and Form. Except as
provided below, the Coordinating Surviving Spouse Benefit shall commence on the first day of the seventh calendar month after the month in which the Participant dies. The Coordinating Final Average Pay Survivor Benefit shall be paid in a Single Life

deferred compensation arrangements required to be aggregated with the Coordinating Final Average Pay Survivor Benefit under Section 409A (collectively, the “Required Aggregation Group”)) does not exceed the lesser of (i) $85.00
or (2) the dollar limitation under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B), then the Present Value of such benefit (and the Present Value of the Spouse’s or Domestic Partner’s benefits under each arrangement in the Required Aggregation Group)
shall be paid to the Spouse or Domestic Partner in a lump sum. 
 Section 4.3 RPRO Make-up Payment. If a Participant who
participated in the RPRO dies after becoming entitled to a RPRO Make-up Payment but prior to receipt of that payment, the RPRO Make-up Payment will be paid to his or her Spouse or Domestic Partner, or if he or she does not have a surviving Spouse or
Domestic Partner, to his or her estate at the same time and in the same form as the RPRO Make-up Payment would have been made to the deceased Participant. 
  

 -9- 

 ARTICLE V - FORFEITURE OF BENEFITS 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Participant who is receiving, or may be entitled to receive, a benefit hereunder engages in
competition with UPS or any Employer Company (without prior written authorization given by the Board of Directors) or is discharged for cause, or performs acts of willful malfeasance or gross negligence in a matter of material importance to the
Employer Company, payments thereafter payable hereunder to such Participant or such Participant’s spouse or beneficiary will, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, be forfeited and neither UPS nor this Plan will have any further
obligation hereunder to such Participant or his/her spouse or designated Beneficiary. 
 ARTICLE VI - COMMITTEE 
 Section 6.1 Establishment of Committee. Authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the plan shall be vested in the

legal counsel (who may be counsel to UPS), agents, and such clerical, accounting and other services as they may require in carrying out the 

  

 -10- 

 
provisions of the Plan. A majority of the members of the Committee at the time in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. All
resolutions or other action taken by the Committee at a meeting shall be by the vote of the majority of the Committee at any meeting; or without a meeting, by instrument in writing signed by all of the members of the Committee. 
 Section 6.2 Delegation of Specific Responsibilities. The members of the Committee may agree in a writing signed by each member to allocate to
any one of their number or to other persons any of the responsibilities with which they are charged pursuant hereto, provided the responsibilities and duties so delegated are definitively set forth so that the person to whom the delegation is made
is clearly aware of such duties and responsibilities. If such delegation is made to a person not a member of the Committee, that person or, in the case of a corporation, its responsible officer, shall acknowledge the acceptance and understanding of
such duties and responsibilities. 
 Section 6.3 Power to Establish Regulations. The Committee shall establish rules and
regulations for the administration of the Plan and the Committee. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the Committee shall have the exclusive right to interpret the Plan and decide any matters arising in the administration and operation of
the Plan, and any interpretations or decisions so made shall be conclusive and binding on all persons; provided, however, that all such interpretations and decisions shall be applied in a uniform manner to all employees and Participants similarly
situated. 
 Section 6.4 Liability of the Committee. The Committee and members thereof, to the extent of the exercise of their
authority, shall discharge their duties with respect to the Plan with care, skill, prudence and diligence; provided, however, that no Committee member shall be responsible for the actions or omissions of a member or any other person, other than
himself or herself, which are 

  

 -11- 

 
not in conformity hereto, unless such member knowingly participates in or knowingly conceals such conduct which he or she knows to be in breach of this
standard, his/her own conduct has enabled the other member or other person to be in breach of this standard, or he or she has knowledge of such breach by another member or other person and fails to make reasonable efforts under the circumstances to
remedy such breach. 
 Section 6.5 Reliance by Committee. Board of Directors and Committee members shall be filly protected with
respect to any action taken or suffered by them in good faith in reliance upon the advice or opinion of any insurance carrier, accountant, legal counsel or physician, and all action so taken or suffered shall be conclusive upon all Participants and
any other person claiming under the Plan. 
 Section 6.6 Books and Records. The Committee shall keep appropriate books and
records. 
 ARTICLE VII - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 Section 7.1 Right of Amendment. UPS reserves the right to make any amendment or amendments to this Plan by resolutions of its Board of Directors, provided, however, that no amendment shall reduce
UPS’s liability to provide any benefits earned to date of amendment hereunder to employees who axe Participants on the date of amendment, except as provided in Article V hereof. 
 Section 7.2 Right to Terminate. UPS, by action of its Board of Directors, may terminate this Plan at any time in whole or in pan. No
termination of this Plan shall reduce UPS’s liability to provide any benefits earned to date of termination hereunder to employees who are Participants on the date of termination based on the provisions of this Plan in effect immediately prior
to the date of termination, or the amount of benefits payable to a Participant who has retired under the provisions of this Plan or the spouse or other 

  

 -12- 

 
Beneficiary of any Participant receiving benefits under this Plan, except as provided in Article V hereof. Upon termination of this Plan, no additional
employees may become Participants hereunder. 
 ARTICLE VIII - NO FUNDING OBLIGATION 
 The obligation of UPS to pay any benefits under this Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured; and any payments under this Plan shall be made from the
general assets of UPS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, UPS may, in its discretion, establish an irrevocable grantor trust for the purpose of funding all or part of its obligations under this plan; provided however, that the terms of such trust
require that the assets thereof remain subject to the claims of UPS’s judgment creditors and are non-assignable and non-alienable by any Participant or Beneficiary prior to distribution thereof. Such grantor trust may provide for the trustee to
make payment directly to a Participant; provided, however, that if a trustee ceases to make payments to a Participant or surviving Spouse or Domestic Partner, UPS or the Employer Company shall make such payments called for under this Plan unless the
cessation of payments is permissible under Section 409A. 
 ARTICLE IX - MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 9.1 Claims Procedure. Any claim for a benefit under this Plan shall be filed and resolved in accordance with the claims procedure
provided under the Retirement Plan which is hereby incorporated in this Plan by reference, except that the Committee of this Plan shall be the entity with whom a claim for review should be filed under this Plan. 
 Section 9.2 No Guarantee of Employment. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment between the Employer
Company and any employee or Participant, as a right of any employee or Participant to be continued in the employment of the Employer Company, or as a limitation of the right of the Employer Company to discharge the employee or Participant with or
without cause. 
  

 -13- 

 Section 9.3 Nonalienation of Benefits. No benefit or payment under this Plan shall be subject
in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, levy or charge, and any attempt so to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or levy upon or charge the same shall be void except
that benefits may be paid to an alternate payee under a domestic relations order that is treated as a qualified domestic relations order under the Retirement Plan. Notwithstanding this statement, if the Participant is indebted to UPS at any time
when payments are required to be made under the provisions of this Plan, UPS shall have the right to reduce the amount of payments remaining to be made to the Participant or his/her spouse or beneficiary under the Plan to the extent of such
indebtedness. An election by UPS not to reduce such payment shall not constitute a waiver of its claim for such indebtedness. 
 Section 9.4 ERISA. UPS intends that this Plan constitute an “excess benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(36) of ERISA and, therefore, be exempt from coverage under ERISA. However, to the extent this Plan does not
constitute an “excess benefit plan”, UPS intends that this Plan come within the various exceptions and exemptions to ERISA for a plan maintained for a “select group of management or highly compensated employees” as described in
Sections 201(2), 301(a) (3), and 401(a) (1) of ERISA. Any ambiguities in this Plan shall be construed to affect the intent as described in this Section. 
 Section 9.5 Construction. The headings and subheadings set forth in this Plan are intended for convenience only and have no substantive meaning whatsoever. In the construction of this Plan, the singular
shall include the plural. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

 Appendix 5.2 
 MAXIMUM BENEFITS 
 The limitations of this Appendix shall apply in Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007,
except as otherwise provided herein. Capitalized terms are defined in Section 3 hereof or, if not defined in Section 3, in the main body of the Plan. All Section references are to Sections of this Appendix 5.2, except as otherwise
provided. 
 Section 1.1. If the Participant does not participate in, and has never participated in another qualified plan maintained by the Employer or
a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) § 419(e) maintained by the Employer, or an individual medical account, as defined in Code § 415(1)(2), maintained by the Employer, or a simplified employee
pension, as defined in Code § 408(k), maintained by the Employer, which provides an annual addition as defined in Section 3.1, the amount of Annual Additions which may be credited to the Participant’s Account for any Limitation Year
will not exceed the lesser of the Maximum Permissible Amount or any other limitation contained in this Plan. If the Employer contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the Participant’s Account would cause the Annual
Additions for the Limitation Year to exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, the amount contributed or allocated will be reduced so that the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year will equal the Maximum Permissible Amount. 
 Section 2.1. This Section applies if, in addition to this Plan, the Participant is covered under another qualified defined contribution plan maintained by the
Employer, a welfare benefit fund maintained by the Employer, an individual medical account maintained by the Employer, or a simplified employee pension maintained by the Employer (collectively “Qualified Plans”), that provides an Annual
Addition during any Limitation Year. The Annual Additions which may be credited to a Participant’s Account under this Plan for any such Limitation Year will not exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount reduced by the Annual Additions credited to a
Participant’s Account under the other Qualified Plans for the same Limitation Year. If the Annual Additions with respect to the Participant under other Qualified Plans maintained by the Employer are less than the Maximum Permissible Amount and
the Employer contribution that would otherwise be contributed or allocated to the Participant’s Account under this Plan would cause the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year to exceed this limitation, the amount contributed or allocated will
be reduced so that the Annual Additions under all such plans and funds for the Limitation Year will equal the Maximum Permissible Amount. If the Annual Additions with respect to the Participant under such other Qualified Plans, in the aggregate are
equal to the Maximum Permissible Amount, no amount will be contributed or allocated to the Participant’s Account under this Plan for the Limitation Year. 
 Section 3. Definitions. 
 Section 3.1. - Annual Additions: The sum of the following amounts credited to a Participant’s Account for
the Limitation Year: 
  

	 	(a)	employer contributions; 

  

	 	(b)	employee contributions; 

  

	 	(c)	forfeitures; 

 (d) amounts allocated to an individual medical account, as defined in Code § 415(1)(2), which is
part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the Employer are treated as Annual Additions to a defined contribution plan. Also amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued which are attributable to post-retirement medical benefits,
allocated to the separate account of a key employee, as defined in Code § 419A(d)(3), under a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code § 419(e), maintained by the Employer are treated as Annual Additions to a defined contribution plan; and

 (e) allocations under a simplified employee pension. 
 Section 3.2. Compensation: For purposes of § 415 of the Internal Revenue Code, Compensation is defined as wages, within the meaning of § 3401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and all other payments of compensation
to an employee by the Employer (in the course of the employer’s trade or business) for which the Employer is required to furnish the employee a written statement under §§ 6041(d), 6051(a)(3), and 6052 of the Internal Revenue Code
(i.e., wages, tips and other compensation as reported on Form W-2). Compensation shall be determined without regard to any rules under § 3401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature
or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in § 3401(s)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code). 
 Except as provided herein, compensation for a Limitation Year is the compensation actually paid or made available during such Limitation Year. 
 For Limitation Years beginning on or after July 1, 2007, compensation for a Limitation Year shall also
include compensation paid by the later of 2 1/2 months after an employee’s severance from employment with the employer
maintaining the plan or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of the employee’s severance from employment with the employer maintaining the plan if: (a) the payment is regular compensation for services during the
employee’s regular working hours, or compensation for services outside the employee’s regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments, and, absent a severance from employment,
the payments would have been paid to the employee while the employee continued in employment with the employer; (b) the payment is for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave that the employee would have been able to use if
employment had continued; or (c) the payment is received by the employee pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan and would have been paid at the same time if employment had continued, but only to the extent includible in
gross income. 
 Any payments not described above shall not be considered compensation
if paid after severance from employment, even if they are paid by the later of 2 1/2 months after the date of severance from
employment or the end of the Limitation Year that includes the date of severance from employment, except, payments to an individual who does not currently perform services for the employer by reason of qualified military service (within the meaning
of § 414(u)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code) to the extent these payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the employer rather than entering qualified
military service. 

 Back pay, within the meaning of § 1.415(c)-2(g)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code, shall be treated as
compensation for the Limitation Year to which the back pay relates to the extent the back pay represents wages and compensation that would otherwise be included under this definition. 
 For Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 1997, compensation paid or made available during such Limitation Year shall include amounts that would otherwise be included in Compensation but for an election
under § 125(a), §402(e)(3), § 402(h)(1)(B), § 402(k), or § 457(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. For Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 2000, Compensation shall also include any elective
amounts that are not includible in the gross income of the employee by reason of § 132(f)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. For Limitation Years beginning after December 31, 2001, Compensation shall also include deemed § 125
compensation. Deemed § 125 compensation is an amount that is excludable under § 106 of the Internal Revenue Code that is not available to a participant in cash in lieu of group health coverage under a § 125 arrangement
solely because the participant is unable to certify that he or she has other health coverage. Amounts are deemed § 125 compensation only if the employer does not request or otherwise collect information regarding the participant’s
other health coverage as part of the enrollment process for the health plan. 
 Section 3.3. Defined Contribution Dollar Limitation: $40,000, as
adjusted under Code § 415(d). 
 Section 3.4. Employer: Employer means United Parcel Service of America, Inc. and Affiliates. 
 Section 3.5. Limitation Year is the calendar year. All qualified plans maintained by the Employer must use the same Limitation Year. If the Limitation Year is
amended to a different 12-consecutive month period, the new Limitation Year must begin on a date within the Limitation Year in which the amendment is made. 
 Section 3.6. Maximum Permissible Amount 
 Except for catch up contributions described in Code § 414(v), the Maximum Permissible Amount
for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of: 
  

	 	(a)	$40,000, as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under Code § 415(d), or 

  

	 	(b)	100 percent of the Participant’s Compensation for the Limitation Year. 

 The compensation limit referred to in (b) shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Code §§ 401(h) or 419A(f)(2)) which is otherwise treated as an Annual
Addition. 
 If a short Limitation Year is created because of an amendment changing the Limitation Year to a different 12-consecutive month period, the
Maximum Permissible Amount will not exceed the Defined Contribution Dollar Limitation multiplied by the following fraction: 
 Number of
months in the short Limitation Year 
 12
