Exhibit 10.2

 Exhibit 10.2 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement is made effective as of the
             day of                     ,
200     by and between Oritani Savings Bank, a savings bank organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey (the “Bank”), with its principal executive office at 370 Pascack Road, Township of Washington, New
Jersey, and                      (the “Executive”). References to the Company shall mean Oritani Financial Corp., which owns all of
the capital stock of the Bank, and references to the MHC shall mean Oritani Financial Corp., MHC, a mutual holding company that owns all of the capital stock of the Company. 
 WHEREAS, the Bank recognizes the substantial contribution Executive has made to the Bank and wishes to assure itself of the continued services of
Executive for the period provided in this Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, Executive is willing to continue to serve in the employ of the
Bank on a full-time basis for said period. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and upon the
other terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
  

	1.	POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES 

 During the period of
his employment hereunder, Executive agrees to serve as                      of the Bank. During said period, Executive also agrees to serve,
if elected, as an officer and director of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank. Failure to reelect Executive as                      of the
Bank without the consent of the Executive during the term of this Agreement, shall constitute an Event of Termination. 
  

	2.	TERMS AND DUTIES 

 (a) The period of
Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall begin as of the date first above written and shall continue for a period of twenty-four (24) full calendar months thereafter. Commencing on the first anniversary date of this Agreement, and
continuing at each anniversary date thereafter, the Agreement shall renew for an additional year such that the remaining term shall be twenty-four (24) months unless written notice of non-renewal is provided to Executive at least ten
(10) days and not more than thirty (30) days prior to any such anniversary date. In the event that notice of non-renewal is provided, the Executive’s employment shall cease at the end of twenty-four (24) months following such
anniversary date. 
 (b) During the period of his employment hereunder, except for periods of absence occasioned by illness, reasonable
vacation periods, and reasonable leaves of absence, Executive shall devote substantially all his business time, attention, skill, and efforts to the faithful performance of his duties hereunder including activities and services related to the
organization, operation and management of the Bank; provided, however, that, with the approval of the Board, as evidenced by a resolution of such Board, from time to time, Executive may serve, or continue to serve, on the boards of directors of, and
hold any other offices or positions in, business companies or business organizations, which, in such Board’s judgment, will not present any conflict of interest with the Bank, or materially affect the performance of Executive’s duties

 
pursuant to this Agreement (it being understood that membership in social, religious, charitable or similar organizations does not require Board approval
pursuant to this Section 2(b)). 
  

	3.	COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT 

 (a) The
compensation specified under this Agreement shall constitute the salary and benefits paid for the duties described in Section 2(b). The Bank shall pay Executive as compensation a salary of not less than
$                     per year (“Base Salary”). Such Base Salary shall be payable biweekly. During the period of this Agreement,
Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually, and the Board may increase, but not decrease, Executive’s Base Salary (any increase in Base Salary shall become the “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement). In
addition to the Base Salary provided in this Section 3(a), the Bank shall provide Executive at no cost to Executive with all such other benefits as are provided uniformly to permanent officers and full-time employees of the Bank. 
 (b) The Bank will provide Executive with employee benefit plans, arrangements and perquisites substantially equivalent to those in which Executive was
participating or otherwise deriving benefit from immediately prior to the beginning of the term of this Agreement, and the Bank will not, without Executive’s prior written consent, make any changes in such plans, arrangements or perquisites
which would adversely affect Executive’s rights or benefits thereunder (except to the extent that such benefits are changed in their application to all employees). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 3(b), Executive will be entitled to participate in or receive benefits under any employee benefit plans, including but not limited to, retirement plans, supplemental retirement plans, pension plans, profit-sharing plans,
health-and-accident plans, medical coverage or any other employee benefit plan or arrangement made available by the Bank in the future to its senior executives and key management employees, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms,
conditions and overall administration of such plans and arrangements. Executive will be entitled to incentive compensation and bonuses in accordance with Bank practices in effect from time to time (and he shall be entitled to a pro rata payment of
incentive compensation or bonus as to any year in which a termination of employment occurs, other than termination for Cause). Nothing paid to the Executive under any such plan or arrangement will be deemed to be in lieu of other compensation to
which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement. 
 (c) In addition to the Base Salary provided for by Section 3(a), the Bank shall
pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable travel and other reasonable expenses incurred by Executive performing his obligations under this Agreement and may provide such additional compensation in such form and such amounts as the Board may from
time to time determine in accordance with standards set by the Board of Directors. [Without limiting the foregoing, the Bank shall provide the Executive with an automobile suitable to the position of
                                 of the Bank, and such automobile may be used by
the Executive in carrying out his duties under this Agreement, including commuting between his residence and his principal place of employment, and other personal use. The Bank shall reimburse the Executive for the cost of maintenance and servicing
such automobile, including without limitation, gasoline and oil for such automobile, and for all income taxes due on account of his personal use of the automobile.] The Bank shall reimburse the Executive for his ordinary and necessary business
expenses, including, without limitation, [fees for memberships in a country 

  

 2 

 
club, a health club, and such other clubs and organizations as the Executive and the Board shall mutually agree are necessary and appropriate for business
purposes], and travel and entertainment expenses, incurred in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement, upon presentation to the Bank of an itemized account of such expenses in such form as the Bank may reasonably require.

 (d) Each year the Executive shall be entitled to vacation time of
                     weeks, during which time his compensation shall be paid in full. In the event that Executive shall not take four weeks of
vacation in any calendar year, he shall be paid on or before December 31 of each such year an amount equal to the unused vacation time, on a per diem basis at the rate of Base Salary then in effect. 
  

	4.	PAYMENTS TO EXECUTIVE UPON AN EVENT OF TERMINATION 

 (a) The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination (as herein defined) during the Executive’s term of employment under this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, an “Event of
Termination” shall mean and include any one or more of the following: 
  

	 	(i)	the termination by the Bank of Executive’s full-time employment hereunder for any reason other than (A) Disability, death or Retirement, as defined in Section 6
hereof, (B) following a Change in Control, as defined in Section 5(a) hereof, or (C) Termination for Cause as defined in Section 7 hereof; or 

  

	 	(ii)	Executive’s resignation from the Bank’s employ, upon any 

  

	 	(A)	failure to elect or reelect or to appoint or reappoint Executive as
                     of the Bank during the term of this Agreement in accordance with Section 2(a) hereof. 

  

	 	(B)	material change in Executive’s function, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause Executive’s position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or
scope from the position and attributes thereof described in Section 1 hereof. 

  

	 	(C)	a relocation of Executive’s principal place of employment by more than 30 miles from its location at the effective date of this Agreement, or a material reduction in the
benefits and perquisites to Executive from those being provided as of the effective date of this Agreement, 

  

	 	(D)	liquidation or dissolution of the Bank other than liquidations or dissolutions that are caused by reorganizations that do not affect the status of Executive, or

  

	 	(E)	breach of this Agreement by the Bank. 

  

 3 

 Upon the occurrence of any event described in clauses (ii) (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) of
this Section 4(a), Executive shall have the right to elect to terminate his employment under this Agreement by resignation upon not less than fourteen (14) days prior written notice to the Bank, which notice must be given by Executive
within four calendar months after the initial event giving rise to said right to elect, which shall be determined to constitute an “Event of Termination.” Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event of a continuing breach of this
Agreement by the Bank, Executive, after giving due notice within the prescribed time frame of an initial event specified above, shall not waive any of his rights solely under this Agreement and this Section 4 by virtue of the fact that
Executive has submitted his resignation but has remained in the employment of the Bank and is engaged in good faith discussions to resolve any occurrence of an event described in clauses (ii) (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) of this
Section 4(a). 
 (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, on the Date of Termination, as defined in Section 8, the Bank
shall pay Executive, or, in the event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, as severance pay or liquidated damages, or both, a cash payment equal to two (2) times the sum of
(i) highest rate of Base Salary (Base Salary shall include any salary deferred by Executive under a 401(k) or nonqualified deferred compensation plan) paid to the Executive during the term of this Agreement, and (ii) the highest annual
cash bonus paid to Executive with respect to any of the three completed fiscal years prior to the Event of Termination; Provided however, that if the Bank is not in compliance with its minimum capital requirements or if such payments would
cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below its minimum capital requirements, such payments shall be deferred until such time as the Bank is in capital compliance. At the election of Executive, which election is to be made on an annual basis
during the month of January (or within thirty days of the execution of this Agreement as to the first year of the Agreement), and which election is irrevocable for the year in which made and upon the occurrence of an event of Termination, such
payment shall be made in a lump sum or paid monthly during the remaining term of this Agreement following Executive’s termination. In the event that no election is made, payment to Executive will be made in a lump sum. Such payments shall not
be reduced for failure to mitigate damages or in the event Executive obtains other employment following termination of employment. 
 (c)
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Bank will cause to be continued life, medical, dental and disability insurance coverage for a period of twenty-four months, or if applicable as provided in the Oritani Savings Bank nonqualified
senior officers medical benefit plan. 
  

	5.	CHANGE IN CONTROL 

 (a) No benefit shall be payable
under this Section 5 unless there shall have been a Change in Control of the Bank, as set forth below. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” of the Bank shall mean: (i) an event of a nature that results in a
Change in Control of the Bank within the meaning of the Change in Bank Control Act, as administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) (or any successor agency) as in effect at the time of the Change in Control; or
(ii) an event of a nature that results in a Change in Control of the Company or the MHC within the meaning of the regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision (or any successor agency) as in effect at the time of the Change in Control (or
such other bank 

  

 4 

 
regulatory agency that has supervision over the Company and the MHC); (iii) the election to the Board of Directors of the Bank of any person who was not
nominated for such election by the Board or by a nominating committee of the Board prior to his or her election; or (iv) the merger of the Bank with any other entity, or the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Bank by
another entity (in either case other than pursuant to an involuntary merger or consolidation mandated by any governmental agency then having jurisdiction over the Bank), other than a merger in which a majority of the board of directors of the
resulting entity consists of persons who were directors of the Bank immediately prior to the execution of the merger agreement. 
 (b) If any
of the events described in Section 5(a) hereof constituting a Change in Control have occurred, Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided in paragraphs Sections 5(b), 5(c), and 5(d) upon the subsequent termination of employment at any
time during the term of this Agreement (regardless of whether such termination results from (i) his resignation, provided such resignation occurs within one year of a Change of Control, or (ii) his dismissal), unless such termination is
because of his death, normal retirement, Termination for Cause or termination for Disability. Upon a Change in Control, Executive shall have the right to elect to terminate for any reason his employment (at any time during the term of this
Agreement) with the Bank for a period of one year following a Change of Control. 
 (c) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control followed
by the Executive’s termination of employment, the Bank shall pay Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, as severance pay or liquidated damages, or both, a cash
payment equal to two (2) times the sum of (i) highest rate of Base Salary (Base Salary shall include any salary deferred by Executive under a 401(k) or nonqualified deferred compensation plan) paid to the Executive during the term of this
Agreement, and (ii) the highest annual cash bonus paid to Executive with respect to any of the three completed fiscal years prior to the Event of Termination. At the election of the Executive, which election is to be made on an annual basis
during the month of January (or within thirty days of the execution of this Agreement as to the first year of the Agreement), and which election is irrevocable for the year in which made and upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, such payment
may be made in a lump sum or paid in equal monthly installments during the twenty-four (24) months following the Executive’s termination. In the event that no election is made, payment to Executive will be made in a lump sum. 

(d) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control followed by the Executive’s termination of employment, the Bank will cause to be continued life,
medical, dental and disability insurance coverage for a period of twenty-four (24) months, or if applicable as provided in the Oritani Savings Bank nonqualified senior officers medical benefit plan. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5, in the event that: 
  

	 	(i)	the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to Executive under said paragraphs (the “Termination Benefits”) would be deemed to include an “excess
parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code or any successor thereto, and 

  

 5 

	 	(ii)	if such Termination Benefits were reduced to an amount (the “Non-Triggering Amount”), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an amount equal to the total
amount of payments permissible under Section 280G of the Code or any successor thereto. 

 then the Termination Benefits to
be paid to Executive shall be so reduced so as to be a Non-Triggering Amount. 
  

	6.	TERMINATION UPON RETIREMENT, DISABILITY OR DEATH 

 Termination by the Bank of Executive based on “Retirement” shall mean termination at age 70 (or at an early retirement age in accordance with any retirement arrangement established with Executive’s consent). Upon termination
of Executive at Retirement, Executive shall be entitled to all benefits under any retirement plan of the Bank and other plans to which Executive is a party, and no benefits other than as specified in this paragraph shall be due under this Agreement
(unless an Event of Termination or a Change in Control occurred prior to Retirement, in which event the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 shall apply). Following Retirement, the Executive and his spouse shall be entitled to continuing health care
insurance coverage, in substantially the same form and amount as provided to the Executive and his spouse prior to the Executive’s Retirement, which coverage shall continue until the death of the Executive and his spouse. 
 Termination by the Bank of Executive’s employment based on “Disability” shall mean termination because of any physical or mental
impairment which qualifies Executive for disability benefits under the applicable long-term disability plan maintained by the Bank or, if no such plan applies, which would qualify Executive for disability benefits under the federal social security
system. In the event Executive is unable to perform his duties under this Agreement on a full-time basis for a period of six (6) consecutive months by reason of Disability, the Bank may terminate this Agreement, provided that the Bank shall
continue to be obligated to pay Executive his Base Salary, including bonuses and any other cash compensation paid to Executive during such period for the remaining term of this Agreement, or one (1) year, whichever is the longer period of time,
and provided further that any amounts actually paid to Executive pursuant to any disability insurance or other similar such program which the Bank has provided or may provide on behalf of its employees or pursuant to any workman’s or social
security disability program shall reduce the compensation to be paid to Executive pursuant to this paragraph. Upon disability, the Executive and his spouse shall be entitled to continuing health care insurance as provided in the Oritani Savings Bank
nonqualified senior officers medical benefit plan. 
 In the event of Executive’s death during the term of this Agreement, his estate,
legal representatives or named beneficiaries (as directed by Executive in writing) shall be paid Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of Executive’s death for the remaining term of this Agreement, and the Bank will
continue to provide medical, dental, family and other benefits normally provided for Executive’s family as provided in the Oritani Savings Bank nonqualified senior officers medical benefit plan. 
  

 6 

	7.	TERMINATION FOR CAUSE 

 The term “Termination
for Cause” shall mean termination upon intentional failure to perform stated duties, personal dishonesty which results in a loss to the Bank or one of its affiliates, a willful violation of any law, rule, regulation (other than traffic
violations or similar offenses) or final cease and desist order which results in loss to the Bank or one of its affiliates, the commission and conviction of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, or any material breach of this Agreement. For
purposes of this Section 7, no act or failure to act on the part of Executive shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Executive’s action
or omission was in the best interest of the Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been Terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the
affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the members of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for that purpose (after reasonable notice, in writing, to Executive and an opportunity for him, together with counsel, to be heard
before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of conduct justifying Termination for Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. 
  

	8.	NOTICE 

 (a) Any purported termination by the Bank
for Cause shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement
relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of
Termination for Cause is given, the Executive notifies the Bank that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the parties shall promptly proceed to arbitration. Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, the Bank shall continue to pay the
Executive his Base Salary, and other compensation and benefits in effect immediately prior to the Notice of Termination. If it is determined that Executive is not entitled to compensation and benefits under Section 4 or 5 of this Agreement, the
Executive shall return all cash amounts to the Bank promptly following the date of resolution by arbitration, with interest commencing as of the date of the resolution of the dispute by arbitration (at the prime rate as published in the Wall
Street Journal from time to time). Any cash amounts paid to Executive pending the resolution of the dispute by arbitration shall offset any amounts due Executive under Sections 4 or 5. 
 (b) Any other purported termination by the Bank or by Executive shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other party. For purposes of this
Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of employment under the provision so indicated. “Date of Termination” shall mean the date of the Notice of Termination. If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is given, the party receiving such Notice
of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the parties shall promptly proceed to arbitration as provided in Section 19 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, the Bank
shall continue to pay the Executive his Base Salary, and 

  

 7 

 
other compensation and benefits in effect immediately prior to the Notice of Termination. Any cash amounts paid to Executive pending the resolution of the
dispute by arbitration shall offset any amounts due Executive under Sections 4 or 5. In the event of the voluntary termination by the Executive of his employment, which is disputed by the Bank, and if it is determined in arbitration that Executive
is not entitled to termination benefits pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive shall return all cash payments made to him pending resolution by arbitration, with interest thereon, commencing as of the date of resolution of the dispute by
arbitration, at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal from time to time. 
  

	9.	POST-TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS 

 (a) All payments and
benefits to Executive under this Agreement shall be subject to Executive’s compliance with Section 9(b) during the term of this Agreement and for one (1) full year after the expiration or termination hereof. 
 (b) Executive shall, upon reasonable notice, furnish such information and assistance to the Bank as may reasonably be required by the Bank in connection
with any litigation in which it or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is, or may become, a party. 
  

	10.	NON-COMPETITION 

 (a) Upon any termination of
Executive’s employment hereunder as a result of which the Bank is paying Executive benefits under Section 4, Executive agrees not to compete with the Bank for a period of one (1) year following such termination in any city, town or
county in which the Bank has an office or has filed an application for regulatory approval to establish an office, determined as of the effective date of such termination, except as agreed to pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board.
Executive agrees that during such period and within said cities, towns and counties, Executive shall not work for or advise, consult or otherwise serve with, directly or indirectly, any entity whose business materially competes with the depository,
lending or other business activities of the Bank. The parties hereto, recognizing that irreparable injury will result to the Bank, its business and property in the event of Executive’s breach of this Section 10(a) agree that in the event
of any such breach by Executive, the Bank will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies and damages available, to an injunction to restrain the violation hereof by Executive, Executive’s partners, agents, servants, employers, employees
and all persons acting for or with Executive. Executive represents and admits that Executive’s experience and capabilities are such that Executive can obtain employment in a business engaged in other lines and/or of a different nature than the
Bank, and that the enforcement of a remedy by way of injunction will not prevent Executive from earning a livelihood. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank for such breach or
threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from Executive. 
 (b) Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the knowledge of the
business activities and plans for business activities of the Bank and affiliates thereof, as it may exist from time to time, is a valuable, special and unique asset of the business of the Bank. Executive will not, during or after the term of his
employment, disclose any knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business activities of the Bank or affiliates thereof to any person, firm, corporation, or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever (except for such disclosure
as 

  

 8 

 
may be required to be provided to the Securities Exchange Commission, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or other federal or state banking agency
with jurisdiction over the Bank or Executive). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may disclose any knowledge of banking, financial and/or economic principles, concepts or ideas which are not solely and exclusively derived from the business
plans and activities of the Bank, and Executive may disclose any information regarding the Bank which is otherwise publicly available. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of this Section 10, the Bank will be entitled to
an injunction restraining Executive from disclosing, in whole or in part, the knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business activities of the Bank or affiliates thereof, or from rendering any services to any person, firm,
corporation, other entity to whom such knowledge, in whole or in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank for such
breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from Executive. 
  

	11.	SOURCE OF PAYMENTS 

 All payments provided in this
Agreement shall be timely paid in cash or check from the general funds of the Bank. 
  

	12.	EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFITS PLANS 

 This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior employment agreement between the Bank or any predecessor of the Bank and Executive, except that this Agreement shall not affect or operate
to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference
to this Agreement. 
  

	13.	NO ATTACHMENT 

 (a) Except as required by law, no
right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by
operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null, void, and of no effect. 
 (b) This
Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Executive and the Bank and their respective successors and assigns. 
  

	14.	MODIFICATION AND WAIVER 

 (a) This Agreement may not
be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. 
 (b) No term or condition of this Agreement shall
be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a
continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver 

  

 9 

 
shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future as to any act other
than that specifically waived. 
  

	15.	REQUIRED PROVISIONS 

 (a) The Bank’s Board of
Directors may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time and for any reason, but any termination by the Bank’s Board of Directors, other than Termination for Cause, shall not prejudice Executive’s right to compensation or other
benefits under this Agreement. 
 (b) If the Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the
conduct of the Bank’s affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) (12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)(3)) or 8(g) (12 U.S.C. § 1818(g)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended by the Financial Institutions
Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, the Bank’s obligations under this contract shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank may in its
discretion (i) pay the Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while their contract obligations were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended. 
 (c) If the Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under
Section 8(e) (12 U.S.C. §§ 1818(e)) or 8(g) (12 U.S.C. § 1818(g)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, all obligations of the Bank
under this contract shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected. 
 (d) If the Bank is in default as defined in Section 3(x) (12 U.S.C. § 1813(x)(1)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, all obligations of
the Bank under this contract shall terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties. 
 (e) All obligations of the Bank under this contract may be terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of the contract is necessary for the continued operation of the institution, by the FDIC if it
enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action. 
 (f) Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with 12 USC
Section 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder. 
  

	16.	SEVERABILITY 

 If, for any reason, any provision of
this Agreement, or any part of any provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each such other provision and part thereof shall to the full
extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. 
  

 10 

	17.	HEADINGS FOR REFERENCE ONLY 

 The headings of
sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  

	18.	GOVERNING LAW 

 This Agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the State of New Jersey, but only to the extent not superseded by federal law. 
  

	19.	ARBITRATION 

 Any dispute or controversy arising
under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel of three arbitrators sitting in a location selected by the employee within twenty-five (25) miles from the location of the Bank, in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that Executive shall be entitled to seek specific
performance of his right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement. 
  

	20.	PAYMENT OF LEGAL FEES 

 All reasonable legal fees
paid or incurred by Executive pursuant to any dispute or question of interpretation relating to this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed by the Bank, provided that the dispute or interpretation has been settled by Executive and the Bank or
resolved in Executive’s favor. 
  

	21.	INDEMNIFICATION 

 The Bank shall provide Executive
(including his heirs, executors and administrators) with coverage under a standard directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy at its expense, and shall indemnify Executive (and his heirs, executors and administrators) to the
fullest extent permitted under federal and state law against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his having been a
director or officer of the Bank (whether or not he continues to be a director or officer at the time of incurring such expenses or liabilities), such expenses and liabilities to include, but not be limited to, judgments, court costs and
attorneys’ fees and the cost of reasonable settlements (such settlements must be approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank). If such action, suit or proceeding is brought against Executive in his capacity as an officer or director of the
Bank, however, such indemnification shall not extend to matters as to which Executive is finally adjudged to be liable for willful misconduct in the performance of his duties. No indemnification shall be paid that would violate 12 U.S.C.
Section 1828(K) or any regulations promulgated thereunder.

 13Severance Plans for Corporate Officers

 Exhibit 10.11 
 SARA LEE CORPORATION 
 SEVERANCE PLANS 
 FOR CORPORATE OFFICERS 
 (As Amended and Restated Effective June 30, 2006)

 ARTICLE I INTRODUCTION. 
 This document sets forth the severance plans of Sara Lee Corporation (the “Corporation”) governing: 
 (i) payments and benefits to be provided in the event of the involuntary termination of employment with the Corporation of an officer of the Corporation (excluding assistant secretaries and assistant treasurers) elected by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (“Officer” or “Terminated Officer”), as set forth in Article III below; and 
 (ii) payments
and benefits to be provided in the event of the termination of employment with the Corporation of an Officer under certain circumstances following a change in control of the Corporation, as set forth in Article IV below. 
 ARTICLE II COMMON PROVISIONS. 
 The following provisions shall apply to both the Involuntary Termination Plan (Article III below) and the Change in Control Plan (Article IV below): 
 (a) Definitions. Whenever used in the Involuntary Termination Plan or the Change in Control Plan, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth below: 
 “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Corporation. 
 “Committee” means the Compensation and Employee Benefits Committee of the Board, a subcommittee thereof, or such other committee as may be appointed by the Board. 
 “Code” means the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any successors thereto. 
 “Corporation” means Sara Lee Corporation and any successor thereto. 
 “Effective Date” of the amendment and restatement of both the Involuntary Termination Plan and the Change in Control Plan as described
here means June 30, 2006. 
 (b) Employment Status. Except as may be provided under any other agreement between an Officer and
the Corporation, the employment of such Officer by the Corporation is “at will,” and may be terminated by either such Officer or the Corporation at any time, subject to applicable law. 
 (c) Severability. In the event any provision of either the Involuntary Termination Plan or the Change in Control Plan shall be held illegal or
invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity of such provision shall not affect the remaining parts of such plan, and such plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had not been included. Further, the
captions of the plans are not part of the provisions thereof and shall have no force and effect. 

 ARTICLE III INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION PLAN. 
 SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION. This plan (the “Involuntary Termination Plan”) has been established by the Corporation to govern payments and
benefits to be made in the event of the involuntary termination of employment with the Corporation of an Officer on or after the Effective Date. The Involuntary Termination Plan does not govern severance payments and benefits to be made in the event
of a Qualifying Termination (as such term is defined in Article IV below), which matters are instead governed by the Change in Control Plan (Article IV below). 
 SECTION 2. STATEMENT OF GENERAL PURPOSE. It is intended by the Corporation that an Officer whose employment with the Corporation has been involuntarily terminated under the circumstances described herein be
entitled to specified severance pay and benefits as set forth in this Involuntary Termination Plan, and subject to the terms of a separation agreement between the Corporation and the Officer entered into in connection with the termination of
employment. This Involuntary Termination Plan duly recognizes the circumstances of termination and years of service with the Corporation as factors to be considered in the determination of the amount of severance to be paid to a Terminated Officer.

 SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS. Whenever used in the Involuntary Termination Plan capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth below: 
 “Base and Bonus Compensation” means one-twelfth (1/12) of the sum of (i) the
annual salary in effect for the Officer immediately prior to the Officer’s termination and (ii) 75% of the Officer’s target annual incentive as defined in the Annual Incentive Plan for the year in which the termination occurs.

 “Cause” shall mean a determination by the Corporation that the Officer has willfully engaged in conduct materially
injurious to the Corporation or has committed a crime involving dishonesty, moral turpitude or other disreputable behavior, including, but not limited to, a violation of the Corporation’s Global Business Standards. 
 “Disability” shall mean a determination by the Corporation under the Corporation’s disability plan that the Officer is disabled.

 “ERISA” means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended and any successors thereto. 
 “Retirement” shall mean a termination on or after the Officer’s normal retirement age (as defined in an applicable Retirement Plan)
following which the Terminated Officer is eligible for retirement benefits under such Retirement Plan. 
 “Retirement Plan”
means the Sara Lee Corporation Consolidated Pension and Retirement Plan or any other qualified retirement plan of the Corporation or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation, other than a 401(k) plan. 
 “Termination Date” shall mean the date specified in the Officer’s Separation Agreement and Release as the Officer’s last day
of employment with the Corporation. 
  

 2 

 SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY FOR SEVERANCE. 
 (a) Eligible Terminations. Subject to Section 4(b), an Officer may be eligible for severance payments and benefits pursuant to this
Involuntary Termination Plan only if his or her employment with the Corporation terminates under one of the following circumstances: 
  

	 	(i)	the Officer’s employment is terminated involuntarily because of unacceptable performance, 

  

	 	(ii)	the Officer’s employment is terminated involuntarily due to an organizational restructuring which results in the elimination of the Officer’s position or function, or

  

	 	(iii)	the Officer terminates his or her employment at the request of the Corporation. 

 (b) Ineligible Terminations. Notwithstanding Section 4(a), an Officer shall not be eligible for any severance payments or benefits pursuant to this Involuntary Termination Plan if his or her employment
with the Corporation terminates under any of the following circumstances: 
  

	 	(i)	a termination for Cause, 

  

	 	(ii)	a termination due to Disability, 

  

	 	(iii)	a termination due to death, 

  

	 	(iv)	a termination due to Retirement, 

  

	 	(v)	a voluntary termination of employment by the Officer other than at the request of the Corporation, 

  

	 	(vi)	a termination of employment of the Officer following which, within a reasonable period of time, the Officer is offered and accepts new employment with the Corporation,

  

	 	(vii)	the transfer of the Officer’s employment to a subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation with the consent of the Officer, 

  

	 	(viii)	the divestiture by the Corporation of the subsidiary, division or operation that employs the Officer and the continuance of employment by the new or acquiring entity on
substantially the same financial terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to such disposition or on such other terms and conditions as are agreed to by the Officer, 

  

	 	(ix)	a termination of employment of the Officer under circumstances which entitle the Officer to receive severance payments or benefits pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control
Plan (Article IV below) or another plan or agreement which is or has been established or entered into by the Corporation or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation or assumed by the Corporation or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation in
an acquisition, merger or similar transaction (including without limitation a change-in-control plan or agreement with a company which is acquired by the Corporation or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation), or 

  

 3 

	 	(x)	any other termination of employment under circumstances not described in Section 4(a). 

  

	 	(xi)	     

 (c) Characterization of
Termination. The characterization of an Officer’s termination under this Involuntary Termination Plan shall be made by the Corporation’s Senior Vice President-Human Resources, or such other person or committee designated by the
Committee, which determination shall be final and binding (subject, however, to Section 10(c) below). 
 SECTION 5. SEVERANCE
BENEFITS PAYABLE. 
 (a) Severance Pay. An Officer terminated under circumstances described in Section 4(a), and not described
in Section 4(b), shall receive: 
  

	 	(i)	continued payment of the Officer’s Base and Bonus Compensation (the “Base and Bonus Portion of Severance”), over the number of months (the “Severance
Period”) determined by multiplying: 

  

	 	(A)	the number of the Officer’s full years of employment with the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation (including periods of employment with a predecessor
employer, the business of which was acquired by the Corporation), by 

  

	 	(B)	three months if the Officer is an Executive Vice President or an officer senior thereto; two months if the Officer is a Senior Vice President; or one month if the Officer is a Vice
President; 

 provided, however, in no event shall the Severance Period be less than twelve months or more than twenty-four
months; 
  

	 	(ii)	a pro-rata amount (from the first day of the current fiscal year of the Corporation to the Officer’s Termination Date) of: 

  

	 	(A)	the annual incentive, if any, payable under the annual incentive plan of the Corporation (the “Annual Incentive Plan”) in effect with respect to the fiscal year in which
the Termination Date occurs, using actual financial or other quantitative bonus objectives and assuming a “superior” level of performance with respect to the Individual Standards of Performance portion of such incentive (the “Annual
Incentive Portion of Severance”); and 

  

	 	(B)	any long-term incentive award (excluding stock options), if any, payable under any long-term incentive plan of the Corporation in which the Terminated Officer was a participant
immediately prior to such Officer’s Termination Date, if such long-term incentive award relates, in whole or in part, to the period prior to the Termination Date (the “Long-Term Incentive Portion of Severance”), with the pro-rata
amount calculated pursuant to the terms and conditions approved by the Committee at the time the award was granted and applicable to such long-term incentive plan or award; 

  

 4 

	 	(iii)	a lump sum cash amount equal to the Officer’s unpaid base salary and accrued and unused vacation through the Officer’s termination date. 

 (b) Health Coverage. Beginning on the Termination Date, a Terminated Officer shall be eligible to elect COBRA continuation coverage under the
group medical and dental plan available to similarly situated officers of the Corporation. If a Terminated Officer eligible for severance under Section 4 elects COBRA continuation coverage for medical coverage, dental coverage or both, the
Corporation shall subsidize the premium charged during the Severance Period so that the amount of such premium payable by such Terminated Officer shall equal the amount payable by an active Officer of the Corporation for similar coverage. The
premium charged for COBRA continuation coverage after the end of the Severance Period shall be entirely at the Terminated Officer’s expense and may be different from the premium charged during the Severance Period. The Terminated Officer’s
COBRA continuation coverage shall terminate in accordance with the COBRA continuation of coverage provisions under the Corporation’s group medical and dental plans. If the Terminated Officer is eligible for early retirement under the terms of a
Retirement Plan (or would become eligible if the Severance Period is considered as employment), then in lieu of COBRA continuation coverage under the group medical plan the Terminated Officer may elect to participate in the Sara Lee Corporation
Retiree Medical Plan available to the Officers of the Corporation after the Termination Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan in effect from time to time; provided, that such coverage shall not be available to the Terminated
Officer unless he or she elects such coverage within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date. The premium charged the Terminated Officer for such retiree medical coverage may be different from the premium charged an active Officer of
the Corporation for similar coverage. 
 (c) Participation In Other Plans. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable
plan, participation in all other plans of the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation available to similarly situated Officers of the Corporation, including but not limited to, qualified pension plans, stock purchase plans,
401(k) plans and ESOPs, personal accident insurance, travel accident insurance, short and long term disability insurance and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, shall cease on the Officer’s Termination Date. Any non-qualified ESOP and
pension benefits will be provided to a Terminated Officer eligible for severance through the Sara Lee Corporation Supplemental Benefit Plan by treating the Severance Period as a period of employment with the Corporation. The Corporation shall
continue to maintain during the Severance Period life insurance covering the Terminated Officer under the Executive Life Insurance Program, as such program is then in effect. If the Terminated Officer is eligible for early retirement or becomes
eligible for early retirement during the Severance Period, then the Corporation will continue to pay the premiums (or prepay the entire premium) so that the retired Terminated Officer has a paid-up life insurance benefit equal to his or her annual
salary on the Termination Date. Any stock option awards such Terminated Officer received prior to the Termination Date shall continue to vest during the Severance Period pursuant to the terms of the stock option plan and stock option grant
agreements; provided, however, that a Terminated Officer shall not be eligible for, or receive, restoration stock options following the Termination Date. Any stock option awards that vest prior to the end of the Severance Period must be exercised by
the Terminated Officer within the applicable period specified in the stock option plan and stock option grant agreements. During the Severance Period, a Terminated Officer who has participated in the Estate Builder Plan will continue to participate
in such Plan at the target rate of interest. A Terminated Officer eligible for severance under this Involuntary Termination Plan shall be permitted to continue using the automobile provided to him or her by the Corporation in accordance with the
terms of the Corporation’s leased automobile policy until the earliest of (i) the end of the Severance Period, (ii) the date on which he or she accepts full time employment with another employer or (iii) the end of the lease
term, and during such period the Corporation shall be responsible for lease payments and insurance with respect to such automobile and the Terminated Officer shall be responsible for all other expenses. The Terminated Officer shall have the option
to purchase such automobile 

  

 5 

 
at any time during or upon the conclusion of the Severance Period pursuant to the then current terms of the Corporation’s Executive Auto Program. A
Terminated Officer shall not be eligible for reimbursement of club memberships and expenses incurred, or for participation in the Corporation’s Matching Grant Program, after the Terminated Officer’s Termination Date. A Terminated Officer
who was an Executive President or a Senior Vice President shall be entitled to continued financial planning assistance provided by the Corporation through the Severance Period. 
 (d) Foreign Officers. If the Terminated Officer is domiciled outside of the United States on his Termination Date, at the discretion of the
Committee, the Terminated Officer shall receive the severance benefits required to be paid pursuant to the laws of the country in which the Terminated Officer is domiciled on his Termination Date in lieu of the benefits under Section 4(a)
through (c) above. 
 SECTION 6. MODE OF PAYMENT OF SEVERANCE. The Base and Bonus Compensation Portion of Severance shall be paid
in accordance with the Corporation’s Corporate Office pay schedule unless the Committee reasonably determines that Section 409A of the Code will result in the imposition of additional tax on account of such payment before the expiration of
the 6-month period described in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) in which case such payment will not commence until the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Officer’s separation from service (as defined
in Code Section 409A) or, if earlier, the date of the Officer’s death. The Annual Incentive Portion of Severance, if any, shall be paid to the Terminated Officer in cash on the same date the active participants under the Annual Incentive
Plan are paid and the Long-Term Incentive Portion of Severance, if any, shall be paid to the Terminated Officer in the same form and on the same date the active participants under the applicable long term incentive plan are paid. . All payments
hereunder shall be reduced by such amount as the Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation) may be required under all applicable federal, state, local or other laws or regulations to withhold or pay over with respect to such
payment. 
 SECTION 7. TERMINATION OF BENEFITS. All rights to receive or continue to receive severance payments and benefits pursuant
to this Involuntary Termination Plan shall cease on the earliest of (a) the date the Terminated Officer begins receiving benefits under a Retirement Plan, (b) the date the Terminated Officer breaches any of the covenants in the Separation
Agreement and Release, as defined in Section 8, including without limitation any noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality or nondisparagement covenants contained therein, and (c) the date the Terminated Officer becomes reemployed
by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. 
 SECTION 8. SEPARATION AGREEMENT. No benefits under this Involuntary
Termination Plan shall be payable to any Terminated Officer until the Terminated Officer and the Corporation have executed a Separation Agreement and Release (in substantially the form approved by the Committee or its Chairman, with such revisions
or modifications as shall be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Senior Vice President-Human Resources) and the payment of benefits under this Involuntary Termination Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such Separation Agreement
and Release. 
 SECTION 9. DEATH OF TERMINATED OFFICER. In the event that the Terminated Officer shall die prior to the payment in
full of (a) the Base and Bonus Compensation Portion of Severance, (b) the Annual Incentive Portion of Severance, if any, or (c) the Long-Term Incentive Portion of Severance, if any, then the Terminated Officer’s estate or
beneficiary, whichever is applicable, shall be paid the remaining payments of such benefits. Such payments shall not affect or reduce any other death benefits that the Terminated Officer’s estate or beneficiary shall be entitled to receive
under other plans of the Corporation. 
  

 6 

 SECTION 10. ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN 
 (a) General. Except as specifically provided herein, the Involuntary Termination Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee may
delegate any administrative duties, including, without limitation, duties with respect to the processing, review, investigation, approval and payment of severance benefits, to designated individuals or committees. The Committee shall be the
“administrator” and a “named fiduciary” under the Involuntary Termination Plan for purposes of ERISA. 
 (b)
Interpretations And Variations. The Committee shall have the duty and authority to interpret and construe, in its sole discretion, the terms of the Involuntary Termination Plan in regard to all questions of eligibility, the status and rights
of Officers, distributees and other persons under the Involuntary Termination Plan, and the manner, time and amount of any payment under the Involuntary Termination Plan. The Committee or its representative shall decide any issues and disputes
arising under this Involuntary Termination Plan, and the decision of the Committee shall be binding and conclusive on the Terminated Officer and the Corporation. Any variations from the Involuntary Termination Plan may only be made by the Committee
in its sole discretion. 
 (c) Claims Procedure. Any Terminated Officer who believes that he or she is entitled to receive severance
benefits under the Involuntary Termination Plan may file a claim in writing with the Committee within ninety (90) days after the date such Terminated Officer believes he or she should have received such benefits. No later than ninety
(90) days after the receipt of the claim, the Committee shall either allow or deny the claim in writing. A denial of a claim, in whole or in part, shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall include:

  

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

  

	 	(ii)	specific reference to pertinent Involuntary Termination Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 

  

	 	(iii)	a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

  

	 	(iv)	an explanation of the claim review procedure. 

 A claimant whose claim is
denied (or his or her duly authorized representative) may within 60 days after receipt of the denial of his or her claim: 
  

	 	(i)	request a review upon written application to the Committee; 

  

	 	(ii)	review pertinent documents; and 

  

	 	(iii)	submit issues and comments in writing. 

 (d) The Committee
shall notify the claimant of its decision on review within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for review unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as
possible, but not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a request for review. Notice of the decision on review shall be in writing. The Committee’s decision on review shall be final and binding on any claimant or any
successor in interest. If a Terminated Officer subsequently wishes to file a claim against the Involuntary Termination Plan, any legal action must be filed with ninety (90) days of the Committee’s final decision and a legal action may only
be filed if the Terminated Officer has exhausted the ERISA claims procedure as outlined herein. 
  

 7 

 SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 (a) Amendment or Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation may amend, modify or terminate the Involuntary
Termination Plan at any time by resolutions duly adopted by the Committee which may be effective prospectively or retroactively, as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no amendment, modification or termination shall deprive any
Terminated Officer of any payment or benefit payable pursuant to the terms of a Separation Agreement and Release between the Corporation and such Terminated Officer. 
 (b) Governing Law. This Involuntary Termination Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with ERISA and the laws of the State of Illinois to the extent such laws are not preempted by ERISA.

 (c) Successors and Assigns. This Involuntary Termination Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Corporation and
its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of a Terminated Officer and his or her legal representatives, heirs and assigns. No rights, obligations or liabilities of a Terminated Officer hereunder shall be
assignable without the prior written consent of the Corporation.

20% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding capital stock of the Corporation that by its terms may be voted on all matters submitted to

trust) sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or any corporation controlled by the Corporation) shall become the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Voting Stock by reason of an acquisition by the Corporation and (2) such Person shall,
after such acquisition by the Corporation, become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of the Voting Stock and such beneficial ownership is publicly announced, then such additional beneficial ownership shall constitute a Change in Control;
or 
 (ii) upon the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or a sale, lease, exchange
or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; excluding, however, any such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale, lease, exchange or other transfer with respect to which, immediately after

remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the entity resulting from such transaction), more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the entity resulting from such transaction (including, without
limitation, the Corporation or an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, directly or indirectly) (the “Resulting Entity”) outstanding immediately
after such transaction, in substantially the same proportions relative to each other as their ownership immediately prior to such transaction, and (b) no Person (other than any Person that beneficially owned, immediately prior to such

stockholders of the Corporation whose election, or nomination for election by the Corporation’s stockholders, was approved by the vote of at least a majority of the Continuing Directors then comprising the Board (or by the nominating committee
of the Board, if such committee is comprised of Continuing Directors 

  

 9 

 
and has such authority) shall be deemed to have been a Continuing Director; and provided further, that no individual shall be deemed to be a
Continuing Director if such individual initially was elected as a director of the Corporation as a result of (A) an actual or threatened solicitation by a Person (other than the Board) made for the purpose of opposing a solicitation by the
Board with respect to the election or removal of directors, or (B) any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any Person (other than the Board).

immediately prior to the Change in Control; 
 (ii) the assignment to the Officer of duties materially inconsistent with the Officer’s
authorities, duties, responsibilities or status, an adverse change in the Officer’s reporting relationship, or any other action which results in a diminution in the Officer’s authorities, duties, responsibilities, status or reporting
relationship from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; 
 (iii) the Corporation’s requiring the Officer to be
based at an office location which is at least fifty (50) miles from his or her current office location, or the Corporation’s requiring the Officer to travel on business to a substantially greater degree than required prior to the Change in
Control; 
 (iv) a reduction in the Officer’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control (or, if greater,
any annual base salary in effect for such Officer at any time after the Change in Control); 
 (v) a material reduction in the Officer’s
level of participation in any of the Corporation’s annual and/or long-term incentive compensation plans, or employee benefit or retirement plans, policies, practices or arrangements in which the Officer participates from the levels in place
immediately prior to the Change in Control; 
 (vi) the failure by the Corporation to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to
the Corporation to assume and agree to perform this Change in Control Plan;

 10 

 The existence of Good Reason shall not be affected by an Officer’s temporary incapacity due to
physical or mental illness not constituting a Disability. An Officer’s Retirement shall constitute a waiver of his or her rights with respect to any circumstance constituting Good Reason. An Officer’s continued employment shall not
constitute a waiver of his or her rights with respect to any circumstances which may constitute Good Reason; provided, however, that an Officer may not rely on any particular action or event described in clause (i) through (viii) above as
a basis for terminating his or her employment for Good Reason unless he or she delivers a Notice of Termination based on that action or event within six months after its occurrence and the Corporation has failed to correct the circumstances cited by
the Officer as constituting Good Reason within 30 days of receiving the Notice of Termination. 
 Any determination by the Chief Executive
Officer that he has Good Reason to terminate his employment shall be binding on the Corporation, unless he is at the time serving as the Chief Executive Officer of, and reports directly to the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of,
the ultimate parent of the corporate group which includes the Corporation (or its successor) following the Change in Control. 
 “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Change in Control Plan relied upon, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination of an Officer’s employment under the provision so indicated. 
 “Prorated Long Term
Bonus Amount” shall mean the long-term bonuses payable under any long-term bonus plans then in effect, assuming full vesting and achievement of target levels, but prorated for the number of days elapsed in each plan cycle through the
Effective Date of Termination.

 SECTION 4. CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS. 
 (a) Right to Change in Control Benefits. Each Officer shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation the Change in Control Benefits, as described in Section 4(b) of this Article, if (i) there has been a Change in Control
and (ii) a Qualifying Termination of such Officer has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Officer shall not be entitled to Change in Control Benefits if he or she is terminated for Cause, or if his or her employment with the Corporation
ends due to death, Disability or Retirement or due to a voluntary termination of employment by such Officer without Good Reason. 
 (b)
Description of Change in Control Benefits. 
 (i) Change in Control Benefits. In the event an Officer becomes
entitled to receive Change in Control Benefits, as provided in Section 4(a) of this Article, the Corporation shall pay to such Officer and provide such Officer with the following: 
  

 11 

	 	(A)	A lump sum cash amount equal to either (i) two and one half (2.5) times Base and Bonus Compensation in the case of the Chief Executive Officer or any Executive Vice
President or (ii) two (2) times Base and Bonus Compensation for any other Officer. 

  

	 	(B)	A lump sum cash amount equal to such Officer’s prorated annual incentive (as determined in accordance with Section 4(a)(ii)(A) of Article III). 

 

	 	(C)	A lump sum cash amount equal to such Officer’s prorated long term incentive (as determined in accordance with Section 4(a)(ii)(B) of Article III).

  

	 	(D)	A lump sum cash amount equal to such Officer’s unpaid base salary and unused and accrued vacation through the Effective Date of Termination. 

  

	 	(E)	If the aggregate benefits accrued by the Officer as of the Effective Date of Termination under the savings and retirement plans sponsored by the Corporation are not fully vested
pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan, the difference between the benefits the Officer is entitled to receive under such plans and the benefits he would have received had he been fully vested will be provided to the Officer under the Sara Lee
Corporation Supplemental Benefit Plan. In addition, for purposes of determining the Officer’s benefits under the Sara Lee Corporation Supplemental Benefit Plan and the Officer’s right to post-retirement medical benefits under the Sara Lee
Corporation Retiree Medical Plan, the Officer shall be assumed to have continued in employment following the Effective Date of Termination for two and one half (2.5) years in the case of the Chief Executive Officer or any Executive Vice
President or two (2) years in the case of any other Officer (i.e., two and one half (2.5) or two (2) additional years of age and service credits shall be added) subject, in each such case, to the maximum service periods under the Sara
Lee Corporation Supplemental Benefit Plan and/or the Sara Lee Corporation Retiree Medical Plan, as applicable; provided, however, that for purposes of determining “final average pay” under the Sara Lee Corporation Supplemental Benefit
Plan, the Officer’s employment shall be deemed to have continued for two and one half (2.5) or two (2) years following the Effective Date of Termination with the annualized base salary rate and the annual incentive award used in the
calculation of Base and Bonus Compensation. However, the Officer will not be eligible to begin receiving any retirement benefits under any such plans until the later of (i) the third anniversary of the Effective Date of Termination in the case
of the Chief Executive Officer or any Executive Vice President or the second anniversary of the Effective Date of Termination in the case of any other Officer or (ii) the date he or she would otherwise be eligible to begin receiving benefits
under such plans. 

  

	 	(F)	 A continuation of the health insurance, life insurance, personal accident insurance, travel accident insurance and accidental death and dismemberment insurance
coverages available to similarly situated Officers on the Effective Date of Termination for a period of either (i) two and one half (2.5) years after the Effective Date of Termination in the case of the Chief Executive Officer or any
Executive Vice President or (ii) two (2) years after the Effective Date of Termination in the case of any other 

  

 12 

 
Officer. These benefits shall be provided to such Officer at the same premium cost, and at the same coverage level, as in effect as of such Officer’s
Effective Date of Termination. However, in the event the premium cost and/or level of coverage shall change for all employees with respect to supplemental benefits, the cost and/or coverage level, likewise, shall change for such Officer in a
corresponding manner. The continuation of these coverages shall be discontinued prior to the end of the two and one half (2.5) or two (2) year period (as appropriate) in the event such Officer has available substantially similar coverages
at a comparable cost from a subsequent employer, as determined by the Committee. 
  

	 	(G)	A continuation of the Officer’s participation, if any, in the Estate Builder Plan at the target rate of interest for two and one half (2.5) years in the case of the Chief
Executive Officer or any Executive Vice President or two (2) years in the case of any other Officer. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer, any Executive Vice President or any Senior Vice President, the Officer shall also continue to
receive financial planning and counseling services consistent with past practice at the Corporation’s sole cost and expense during such two and one half (2.5) or two (2) year period (as applicable). 

  

	 	(H)	The Officer shall be permitted to continue using the automobile provided to him or her by the Corporation in accordance with the terms of the Corporation’s leased automobile
policy until the earliest of (i) the date that is two and one half (2.5) years after the Effective Date of Termination in the case of the Chief Executive Officer or any Executive Vice President or the second anniversary of the Effective
Date of Termination in the case of any other Officer, (ii) the date on which he or she accepts full time employment with another employer and (iii) the end of the lease term, and during such period the Corporation shall be responsible for
lease payments and insurance with respect to such automobile and the Officer shall be responsible for all other expenses. The Officer shall have the option to purchase such automobile at any time during or upon the conclusion of such two and one
half (2.5) or two (2) year period (as appropriate) pursuant to then current terms of the Corporation’s Executive Auto Program. 

  

	 	(ii)	Stock Options and Restricted Shares. 

  

	 	(A)	All options to purchase the Corporation’s common stock held by the Officer that were issued prior to the Effective Date shall automatically vest upon a Change in Control and
all restrictions and/or forfeiture conditions on any restricted shares or restricted share units held by the Officer shall automatically lapse upon a Change in Control. All other options to purchase the Corporation’s common stock held by the
Officer shall automatically vest upon the Officer’s Qualifying Termination and all restrictions and/or forfeiture conditions on all other restricted shares or restricted share units held by the Officer shall automatically lapse upon such
Qualifying Termination; provided, however, that if the transaction giving rise to the Change in Control is an offer to purchase all of the Corporation’s outstanding Voting Stock for cash, then such options shall automatically vest and the
forfeitures conditions on the restricted shares or restricted share units shall lapse immediately prior to the Change in Control. 

  

 13 

	 	(B)	For purposes of each of the Officer’s stock options that is exercisable on the Effective Date of Termination, the Officer’s termination of employment shall be disregarded,
and each such option shall continue to be exercisable as though the Officer’s employment had continued through the last day on which such option would be exercisable in the absence of such employment termination. 

  

	 	(C)	This Section 4(b)(ii) shall be applicable notwithstanding any conflicting or contrary term of any plan, arrangement or agreement. 

 (iii) Outplacement Services. The Corporation shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide the Officer with outplacement services
suitable to the Officer’s position for a period of one (1) year or, if earlier, until the first acceptance by the Officer of an offer of employment. 
 (c) Termination for Disability. Following a Change in Control, if an Officer’s employment is terminated due to Disability, such Officer shall receive his or her base salary through the Effective Date of
Termination, at which time such Officer’s benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Corporation’s disability, retirement, insurance and other applicable plans and programs then in effect. If such Officer’s employment is
terminated due to Disability, such Officer shall not be entitled to Change in Control Benefits. 
 (d) Termination for Retirement or
Death. Following a Change in Control, if an Officer’s employment is terminated by reason of his Retirement or death, such Officer’s benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Corporation’s retirement, survivor’s
benefits, insurance, and other applicable programs of the Corporation then in effect. In the event such Officer’s employment is terminated by reason of his or her Retirement or death, such Officer shall not be entitled to Change in Control
Benefits. 
 (e) Termination for Cause, or Other Than for Good Reason or Retirement. Following a Change in Control, if an
Officer’s employment is terminated either (i) by the Corporation for Cause, or (ii) by such Officer (other than for Retirement or Good Reason), the Corporation shall pay such Officer his full base salary and accrued vacation through
the Effective Date of Termination, at the rate then in effect, plus all other amounts to which such Officer is entitled under any compensation plans of the Corporation, at the time such payments are due, and the Corporation shall have no further
obligations to such Officer under this Change in Control Plan. 
 (f) Deferred Compensation. All amounts previously deferred by or
accrued to the benefit of the Officer under any nonqualified deferred compensation plan sponsored by the Corporation (including, without limitation, any vested amounts deferred under incentive plans), together with any accrued earnings thereon,

 (g) Notice of Termination. Any termination of employment by (i) the
Corporation or (ii) by an Officer for Good Reason shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination. 
 SECTION 5. FORM AND TIMING OF
CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS. 
 (a) Form and Timing of Change in Control Benefits. Subject to Section 6 below, the Change in
Control Benefits described in Sections 4(b)(i)(A), (B), (C) and (D) of this Article shall be paid in cash to the Officer in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the Effective Date of Termination, but in no event beyond twenty
(20) days from such date unless the Committee reasonably determines that Section 409A of the Code will result in the imposition of additional tax on account of any payment before the expiration of the 6-month period described in
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) in which case such payment will not be made until the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Officer’s separation from service (as defined in Code Section 409A) or, if
earlier, the date of the Officer’s death. 
  

 14 

 (b) Withholding of Taxes. The Corporation shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable
under this Change in Control Plan all taxes as legally shall be required (including, without limitation, any United States federal taxes and any other state, city or local taxes). 
 SECTION 6. REDUCTION IN TOTAL PAYMENTS. 
 (a) Reduction to Maximize After-Tax Benefits. in the event that an Officer becomes entitled to Change in Control Benefits or any other payment or benefit under this Change in Control Plan, or under any other agreement with or plan or
policy of the Corporation (in the aggregate, “Total Payments”), if all or any part of the Total Payments will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar tax that may
hereafter be imposed) and reducing the Total Payments would result in greater Change in Control Benefits (after taking into consideration the payment of all income and excise taxes that would be owing as the result of the Total Payments) the
Corporation shall reduce the Total Payments by the amount necessary to maximize the Change in Control Benefits for such Officer determined on an after-tax basis. 
 For purposes of determining the amount of an Officer’s Change in Control Benefits on an after-tax basis, the Officer shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income
taxation in the calendar year in which the Total Payments are to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of such Officer’s residence on the Effective Date of Termination, net
of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. 
 (b) Subsequent
Recalculation. In the event the Internal Revenue Service adjusts any item included in the Corporation’s computations under Section 6(a) of this Article so that such Officer did not receive the full net benefit intended under the
provisions of this Section 6, the Corporation shall reimburse such Officer for the full amount necessary to make such Officer whole, plus a market rate of interest, as determined by the Committee. 
 SECTION 7. THE CORPORATION’S PAYMENT OBLIGATION. 
 (a) Payment Obligation Absolute. The Corporation’s obligation to make the payments and the arrangements provided for herein shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any
circumstances, including, without limitation, any offset, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right which the Corporation may have against such Officer or anyone else. All amounts payable by the Corporation hereunder shall be paid without
notice or demand. Each and every payment made hereunder by the Corporation shall be final, and the Corporation shall not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from such Officer or from whomsoever may be entitled thereto, for any reason
except as provided in Section 6(b) above. 
 No Officer shall be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable
or arrangements made under any provision of this Change in Control Plan, and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event result in any reduction of the Corporation’s obligations to make the payments and arrangements required to
be made under this Change in Control Plan, except to the extent provided in Section 4(b)(i)(F) of this Article. 
 (b) Contractual
Right to Benefits. This Change in Control Plan establishes and vests in each of the Officers a contractual right to the benefits to which he or she is entitled hereunder. However, nothing herein contained shall require or be deemed to prohibit
the Corporation to segregate, earmark or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets, in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be made or required hereunder. 
  

 15 

 SECTION 8. SEPARATION AGREEMENT. No benefits under this Change in Control Plan shall be payable to
any Terminated Officer until the Terminated Officer and the Corporation have executed a Separation Agreement and Release (in substantially the form approved by the Committee or its Chairman, with such revisions or modifications as it or they shall
deem necessary or appropriate) and the payment of benefits under this Change in Control Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such Separation Agreement and Release. 
 SECTION 9. LEGAL REMEDIES. 
 (a)
Payment of Legal Fees. To the extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall pay all reasonable legal fees, costs of litigation or arbitration, prejudgment or pre-award interest, and other expenses incurred in good faith by an Officer as a
result of the Corporation’s refusal to provide Change in Control Benefits, or as a result of the Corporation’s contesting the validity, enforceability or interpretation of this Change in Control Plan, or as a result of any conflict
(including conflicts related to the calculation of parachute payments) between the Corporation and such Officer. 
 (b) Arbitration.
Except to the extent a Terminated Officer files a claim under Section 10(c) below, any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Change in Control Plan shall be settled by arbitration, conducted before a panel of three
(3) arbitrators sitting in a location selected by the Officer involved in such dispute or controversy within fifty (50) miles from the location of his or her employment with the Corporation, in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the award of the arbitrator in any court having proper jurisdiction. All expenses of such arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the counsel for such Officer, shall be borne
by the Corporation. 
 SECTION 10. ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN 
 (a) General. Except as specifically provided herein, the Change in Control Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee may delegate
any administrative duties, including, without limitation, duties with respect to the processing, review, investigation, approval and payment of severance benefits, to designated individuals or committees. The Committee shall be the
“administrator” and a “named fiduciary” under the Change in Control Plan for purposes of ERISA. 
 (b) Interpretations
And Variations. The Committee shall have the duty and authority to interpret and construe, in its sole discretion, the terms of the Change in Control Plan in regard to all questions of eligibility, the status and rights of Officers, distributees
and other persons under the Change in Control Plan, and the manner, time and amount of any payment under the Change in Control Plan. The Committee or its representative shall decide any issues and disputes arising under this Change in Control Plan,
and the decision of the Committee shall be binding and conclusive on the Terminated Officer and the Corporation. Any variations from the Change in Control Plan may only be made by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
 (c) Claims Procedure. Any Terminated Officer who believes that he or she is entitled to receive severance benefits under the Change in Control
Plan may, but is not required to, file a claim in writing with the Committee within ninety (90) days after the date such Terminated Officer believes he or she should have received such benefits. In the event a Terminated Officer files such a
claim, the claim procedure outlined in Section 10(c) of Article III above shall apply and Section 9(b) above shall not apply under such claim procedure has been exhausted. 
  

 16 

 SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 (a) Successors to the Corporation. The Corporation shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation to expressly assume and agree to perform the Corporation’s obligations under this Change in Control Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Corporation would be required to perform them if no such succession had taken place. The date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed to be the date of the Change in Control. 
 (b) Assignment by an Officer. This Change in Control Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Officer’s personal or
legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If an Officer dies while any amount would still be payable to him or her hereunder had he or she continued to live, all such amounts, unless
otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Change in Control Plan to such Officer’s Beneficiary. If such Officer has not named a Beneficiary, then such amounts shall be paid to such Officer’s devisee,
legatee or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to such Officer’s estate. 
 (c) Beneficiaries. An Officer may
designate one or more persons or entities as the primary and/or contingent Beneficiaries of any Change in Control Benefits owing to such Officer under this Change in Control Plan. Such designation must be in the form of a signed writing reasonably
acceptable to the Committee. Such Officer may make or change such designations at any time. 
 (d) Governing Law. This Plan shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. 
 (e) Modification. No provision of this Change in
Control Plan may be amended, terminated or waived unless such amendment, termination or waiver is agreed to in writing and signed by each Officer entitled to Change in Control Benefits hereunder and by an authorized member of the Committee, or by
the respective parties’ legal representatives and successors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the right to amend or terminate this Change in Control Plan unilaterally by delivering written notice to each of the Officers
entitled to benefits hereunder; provided that any such amendment or termination shall only become effective upon the first anniversary of the delivery of such notice to the Officers or on such later date as the Committee may specify in such notice
(such first anniversary or later date being referred to as the “Applicable Date”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no such unilateral amendment or termination shall become effective if a Change in Control occurs before the
Applicable Date.
