SEVERANCE PROGRAM FOR OFFICERS OF CONSOLIDATED EDISON, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
I.Purpose.
The purpose of this Severance Program for Officers of Consolidated Edison, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (the "Program") is to provide certain Participants with severance payments and benefits in the event of a Termination of Employment, as set forth herein, including additional severance payments and benefits in the event of a "Termination upon a Change of Control," each as hereinafter defined. The Program is intended to be a "top-hat" welfare plan established for a select group of management or highly compensated employees. The Program is not intended to affect eligibility for or payment of any other compensation or benefits in accordance with the terms of any applicable plans or programs of the Company. The Program is amended and restated effective as of December 1, 2021 in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

"Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of CEI.

“Cause“ shall mean a Participant’s: (i) commission of, conviction of, or the entering of a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony, or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, if such felony or misdemeanor is work-related, materially impairs the Participant’s ability to reasonably perform services for the Employer, or results or could reasonably be expected to result in harm to the property, reputation or business of the Employer; (ii) willful and continued failure to substantially perform his or her duties in the course of employment with the Employer (other
than any such failure resulting from the Participant’s physical or mental incapacity) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Participant by the Board, the CEO or the Company that employs the Participant; (iii) conduct that results or could reasonably be expected to result in harm to the property, reputation or business of the Employer, including a violation or material
failure to comply with the Employer’s written policies or standards of conduct, including those

relating to discrimination, harassment, performance of illegal or unethical activities, and ethical misconduct; (iv) refusal to follow the lawful directions of the Board, the CEO, or the Company that employs the Participant; (v) breach of any fiduciary duty owed to the Employer; (vi) violation of applicable federal, state or local law or regulation governing the business of the Employer; (vii) violation of the drug and alcohol testing policies of the Employer or reporting to work under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance (other than a controlled substance that the Participant is properly taking under a current prescription); (viii) misappropriation (or attempted misappropriation) of any assets or property of the Employer; (ix) material breach of any written agreement between the Participant and the Employer; (x) resigning employment in lieu of being discharged for misconduct or (xi) any conduct that the Administrator determines to be detrimental to the Employer.

(a)any Person or Group acquires stock of CEI that, together with stock held by such Person or Group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of CEI. However, if any Person or Group is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of CEI, the acquisition of additional stock by the same Person or Group is not considered to cause a Change of Control of CEI. An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any Person or Group as a result of a transaction in which CEI acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this subsection. This subsection applies only when there is a transfer of stock of CEI (or issuance of stock of CEI) and stock in CEI remains outstanding after the transaction;

of all of the assets of CEI immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of CEI, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. However, no Change in Control shall be deemed to occur under this subsection (d) as a result of a transfer to:

(i)A shareholder of CEI (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock;

(ii)An entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by CEI;

(iii)A Person or Group that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of CEI; or

(iv)An entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in clause (iii) above.

For these purposes, the term "Person" shall mean an individual, corporation, association, joint stock company, business trust or other similar organization, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, unincorporated organization or government or agency, instrumentality or political subdivision thereof (but shall not include the Employer, any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Employer, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of CEI in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of voting stock of CEI. The term "Group" shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-5 of Exchange Act. If any one Person, or Persons acting as a Group, is considered to effectively control CEI as described in subsections (b) or (c) above, the acquisition of additional control by the same Person or Persons is not considered to cause a Change of Control.

"Company" includes, individually and/or collectively as the context requires, CEI, CECONY, O&R, CET and such other subsidiaries of the Company that have approved and adopted this Program pursuant to Article VIII, whether or not such entity directly compensates the Participant or the Participant appears on the payroll of such entity.

"Disability" shall mean (i) the inability of a Participant to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last of a continuous period of not less than a period of twelve calendar months or (ii) the receipt of income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Employer by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

For purposes of this "Good Reason" definition, the Participant must give notice to the Company of the existence of any event described in clauses (i) through (v) above, within 90 days of the initial existence of the event, and upon such notice the Company shall have a period of 30 days to remedy the condition and not be required to pay any severance amount or benefit.

III.Benefits.

A.Benefits Following a Termination of Employment.

1.Before a Change of Control. If, prior to a Change of Control, a Participant incurs a Termination of Employment, then, subject to the Participant timely executing and delivering (without revocation) to the Company a written general waiver and

release of any and all claims in such form as has been approved by the Administrator, as further detailed in clause h. below:

a.the Company shall pay to the Participant in a lump sum in cash, within 60 days following the Participant's Termination Date, the aggregate of the following amounts:

(1)the sum of (a) the Participant's accrued Base Compensation through the Termination Date to the extent not theretofore paid,(b) the product of (i) the sum of the Participant's Target Bonus, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs through the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is 365 and (c) any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (a), (b), and (c) shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Accrued Obligations"); and
(2)(a) a lump sum that is the actuarial equivalent of the excess of the sum of
(i)the pension benefit payable to the Participant under the Company's applicable qualified defined benefit retirement plan or defined contribution pension formula in the Consolidated Edison Thrift Savings Plan in which the Participant is participating immediately prior to his Termination Date (the "Retirement Plan"), plus (ii) any excess or supplemental nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan in which the Participant participates (together, the "SERP"), plus (iii), to the extent applicable, any benefit payable to the Participant under any other defined benefit or defined contribution retirement arrangement between the Participant and the Company ("Other Pension Benefits") with each element of such sum determined as if the Participant's employment continued for one additional year beyond the Termination Date, assuming for this purpose that all accrued benefits are fully vested and further assuming that the Participant's compensation for such deemed additional period was the Participant's Base Compensation as in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date, assuming a bonus in each year during such deemed additional period equal to the Target Bonus, assuming that any benefits attributable to such deemed additional period were treated, under all such plans and arrangements, as being fully accrued on the Termination Date, and assuming that the Participant commenced to receive such benefits in the form of an annuity for their life commencing at later of the Termination Date or the Participant's attainment of age 65 less, (b) the sum of the benefits actually payable to the Participant, if any, under the Retirement Plan, the SERP and Other Pension Benefits, determined as of the Termination Date, assuming that the Participant commenced to receive such benefits in the form of an annuity for his life commencing at later of the Termination Date or the Participant's attainment of age 65.

b.the Company shall pay to the Participant in a lump sum in cash, within 60 days following the Participant's Termination Date, an amount equal to one times the sum of the Participant's Base Compensation and Target Bonus;

c.for a period of one year following the Termination Date, the Company shall continue to provide medical, dental and Company-provided life insurance benefits to the Participant and/or the Participant's eligible dependents (to the extent they are participating in the benefits as of the Termination Date) at least equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the Company's plans, programs, practices and policies if the Participant had not incurred a Termination of Employment (at the same contribution rate between the Participant and the Company as is applicable for the Participant while actively employed immediately prior to the Termination Date); provided, however, that if the Participant becomes employed by another employer and is eligible to receive medical or dental benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and dental benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility. Notwithstanding any provision in this Program to the contrary, if at any time the Company determines that it cannot continue the medical, dental and Company-provided life insurance benefits without substantial risk of incurring a fine or penalty under applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then Company shall be completely and fully relieved of any obligation to provide such benefits, and such relief shall have no effect on the release. Such period shall be counted as part of the Participant's right to continued eligibility under the Company's medical and dental plans under Section 4980B of the Code. For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of benefits) of the Participant for retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, practices, programs and policies, the Participant shall be considered to have remained employed until one year following the Termination Date and to have incurred a Termination of Employment on the last day of such period;

d.the Company shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide the Participant with outplacement services suitable to the Participant's position for a period not to exceed one year from the Participant's Termination Date with a nationally recognized outplacement firm;

e.any compensation previously deferred (other than pursuant to a tax- qualified plan) by or on behalf of the Participant (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon), whether or not then vested, shall become vested on the Termination Date and shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the plan, policy or practice and elections under which it was deferred;

f.to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Participant any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Participant is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies, including earned but unpaid stock and similar compensation (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Other Benefits") in accordance with the terms of the plan, policy or practice and elections thereunder; and

g.for purposes of the Company's equity incentive plans and the benefits and rights granted to the Participant thereunder, the Participant shall be deemed to have incurred a Termination of Employment with the consent of the Company.

h.Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the obligation of the Company to pay any severance benefits to a Participant is expressly conditioned upon the Participant's timely execution and delivery (and non- revocation) of an agreement to be bound by a general waiver and release of any and all claims in such form as has been approved by the Administrator, and agreement by the Participant to the terms and conditions of Section IV below, that becomes irrevocable not later than the 60th calendar day following the Participant's Termination Date. The Company shall have no obligation to pay any severance benefits to a Participant who fails to execute a general waiver and release that becomes irrevocable after the 60th calendar day following the Participant's Termination Date. Subject to Section III.B below, any payments, including any provision or continued benefits, made under this Program (whether such payments or benefits are paid or provided, in whole or in part, pursuant to this Program or in conjunction with any other agreement, arrangement, program or policy) which the Company determines to be a "deferral of compensation" subject to Section 409A shall be delayed and shall not be paid, or commence to be paid, until the sixtieth (60th) day following a Participant's Separation from Service at which time any payments so delayed shall be paid in a single sum payment.

For purposes of clause a (2) above, the term "actuarial equivalent" shall mean a benefit of equal value, computed on the basis of the IRS Mortality Table and the IRS Interest Rate, as applicable to the Stability Period that includes the Participant's Termination Date, and to the extent that any benefit payable to the Participant would be subject to adjustment, subsequent to the commencement of such benefit, based on changes in any Consumer Price Index, then the annual change in such index for all future years shall be assumed to be the quotient of (x) the IRS Interest Rate divided by (y) the excess of the quotient determined by dividing
0.75 by the factor first specified in item "(B)" of clause (c) of the determination of Adjusted IRS Interest Rate, over 1.00. The terms IRS Mortality Table, IRS Interest Rate, Stability Period, and Adjusted IRS Interest Rate shall each have the meaning set forth in the Retirement Plan as in effect on the Participant's Termination Date.
2.Following a Change of Control. Upon a Termination upon a Change of Control, the provisions of Section III.A.1. shall apply, except that:

a.references to "one" in clauses a.(2), b. and c., respectively, of Section
111.A.I. shall be increased to "two"; and

b.to the extent reimbursements of medical and dental care expenses made pursuant to Section III.A.I.c. are deemed to be a "deferral of compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall reimburse medical and dental care expenses no later than the last day of

the calendar year next following the calendar year in which such expenses were incurred.

B.Six-Month Payment Delay for Specified Employees.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Participant is a "Specified Employee" for purposes of Section 409A, determined under the Company's established methodology for determining specified employees, on the date on which such Participant incurs a Separation from Service, to the extent that any payment hereunder (including any provision or continued benefits) is deemed to be a "deferral of compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A, such payment shall not be paid or commence to be paid on any date prior to the fifteenth business day after the date that is six months following the Participant's Separation from Service, provided, however, that a payment delayed pursuant to this clause shall commence earlier in the event of a Participant's death prior to the end of the six-month period.

C.Certain Reduction of Payments.

1.Anything in this Program to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of a Participant, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Program or otherwise (the "Payment"), would constitute an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and that such Participant would receive a greater net after-tax amount if the Payment to Participant were reduced to avoid the taxation of excess parachute payments under Section 4999 of the Code, the aggregate present value of amounts payable or distributable to or for the benefit of Participant pursuant to this Program (such payments or distributions pursuant to this Program are hereinafter referred to as "Program Payments") shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Program Payments without causing any Payment to be subject to the taxation under Section 4999 of the Code. For purposes of this Section III.C, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G (d)(4) of the Code. Any reduction will be made from the payments described in Section III.A.1.a and Section III.A.1.b.

2.All determinations to be made under this Section III.2 shall be made by the Company's independent public accountant immediately prior to the Change of Control (the "Accounting Firm"), which firm shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations both to the Company and the affected Participant within 10 days of the Termination Date of such Participant.

3.As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Program Payments will have been made by the Company which should not have been made ("Overpayment") or that additional Program Payments which have not been made by the Company could have been made ("Underpayment"), in each case, consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. Within one year after the Termination of Employment of any Participant, the Accounting Firm shall review the determination made by it pursuant to subsection III C.2. above. In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that an

overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment shall be promptly repaid by the Participant to the Company within 20 days of such determination; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Participant to the Company if and to the extent such payment would not increase the net amount which is payable to the Participant after taking into account the provisions of Section 4999 of the Code. In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant together with interest at the Federal Rate within 20 days of such determination.

I.All of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and any other consultant or expert retained in performing the determinations referred to in subsections III.C.2. and III.C.3. above shall be borne solely by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Accounting Firm and such other consultants and experts of and from any and all claims, damages and expenses resulting from or relating to its determinations pursuant to subsections III.C.2. and III.C.3. above, except for claims, damages or expenses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Accounting Finn and such other consultants and experts.Vesting. Except as provided in Article V hereof, a Participant shall be vested and shall have a nonforfeitable right with respect to the payments and benefits to be provided under the Program from and after the Termination Date. The respective rights and obligations of the Company and the Participant under this Program shall survive any termination of Participant's employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

II.Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Program shall prevent or limit any Participant's continuing or future participation in or rights under any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company and for which such Participant may qualify; provided, however, that if such Participant becomes entitled to and receives all of the payments provided for in this Program, the Participant hereby waives his or her right to receive payments under any other plan, program, agreement or arrangement of the Company providing severance benefits.

III.Notice of Termination. No Termination upon a Change of Control shall be effective unless accompanied or preceded by a Notice of Termination.

IV.Termination and Repayment of Severance Benefits. A Participant’s right to any payments and benefits under the Program is subject to and is expressly conditioned upon the Participant’s continued compliance with any confidentiality agreement or restrictive covenant provisions. If the Participant violates the terms of any confidentiality agreement or restrictive covenant provisions, he or she will be required to return any payments and benefits received under the Program within ten (10) business days of any written demand for repayment by the Company or the Administrator. Any payments and benefits received under the Program that have not been paid or provided to the Participant shall be forfeited.

IV.Confidential Information.

A.Each Participant shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all confidential information, knowledge or data (defined below) relating to the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Participant during the Participant's employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than

by acts by the Participant or representatives of the Participant in violation of this Agreement). Upon termination of the Participant's employment, he or she shall return to the Company all Company information. After termination of the Participant's employment with the Company, the Participant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it, except (a) otherwise publicly available information, or (b) as may be necessary to enforce his rights under this Agreement or necessary to defend himself against a claim asserted directly or indirectly by the Company or its affiliates.

B.As used herein, the term "confidential information, knowledge or data" means all trade secrets, proprietary and confidential business information belonging to, used by, or in the possession of the Company or any of its affiliates and subsidiaries, including but not limited to information, knowledge or data related to business strategies, plans and financial information, mergers, acquisitions or consolidations, purchase or sale of property, leasing, pricing, sales programs or tactics, actual or past sellers, purchasers, lessees, lessors or customers, those with whom the Company or its affiliates and subsidiaries has begun negotiations for new business, costs, employee compensation, marketing and development plans, inventions and technology, whether such confidential information, knowledge or data is oral, written or electronically recorded or stored, except information in the public domain, information known by a Participant prior to employment with the Company, and information received by the Participant from sources other than the Company or its affiliates and subsidiaries, without obligation of confidentiality.

V.Funding.

Benefits payable under this Program shall be unfunded, as that term is used in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), 401(a)(1) and 4021(a)(6) of ERISA, with respect to unfunded plans maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees, and the Administrator shall administer this Program in a manner that will ensure that benefits are unfunded and that Participants will not be considered to have received a taxable economic benefit prior to the time at which benefits are actually payable hereunder. Accordingly, the Company shall not be required to segregate or earmark any of its assets for the benefit of Participants or their spouses or other beneficiaries, and each such person shall have only a contractual right against the Company for benefits hereunder. The Company may from time to time establish a trust and deposit with the trustee thereof funds to be held in trust for the payment of benefits hereunder; provided, that the use of such funds for such purpose shall be subject to the claims of the Company's general creditors as set forth in the agreement establishing any such trust. The rights and interests of a Participant under this Program shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance by a Participant or any person claiming under or through a Participant, nor shall they be subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of a Participant or anyone else prior to payment. The Administrator may from time to time appoint an investment manager or managers for the funds held in any such trust.

VI.Administration.

The Program shall be operated under the direction of the Committee and administered by the Administrator. The calculation of all benefits payable under the Program shall be performed by the Administrator, subject to the review of the Committee. The Committee and the Administrator, as applicable, shall have sole and complete discretionary authority and control to manage the operation and administration of the Program, including but not limited to, the determination of all questions relating to eligibility for participation and benefits, interpretation of all Program provisions, determination of the amount of benefits payable to any Participant, spouse, heirs or estate, all legal and factual determinations, and construction of disputed or ambiguous term. The Committee and the Administrator, as applicable, shall determine conclusively any and all questions arising from the administration of the Program, and such determinations shall be binding on all parties. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to make any determinations, including with respect to the interpretation of the Program and any factual determinations, in deciding any appeal of a claim under the Program as set forth in Section VII below. The Committee and the Administrator may delegate responsibilities under the Program. In any instance where the Program is administered relative to the Administrator, the President of the Company shall act as Administrator.

VII.Claims Procedure.

(a)Procedure for Granting or Denying Claims. A Participant, or any person duly authorized by such a Participant, may file a written claim for benefits under this Program. Such claim may only relate to a benefit under the Program and not any matter under any other policy, practice or guideline of the Company, and must be made in writing and be delivered to the Administrator, in person or by mail, postage paid. The written claim shall be submitted in accordance with the notice provisions of Section IX.E below. Such claim must be received within 60 days of the event which gave rise to the claim.

Within 90 days after receipt of such claim, the Administrator shall notify the claimant of the granting or denying, in whole or in part, of such claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. In no event may the extension exceed 90 days from the end of the initial 90-day period. If such extension is necessary, the claimant will be given a written notice to this effect prior to the expiration of the initial 90-day period. The Administrator shall have full discretion to deny or grant a claim in whole or in part. If the claim is denied the claimant will receive written notice of the decision, including the specific reason for the decision, within 90 days of the date the claim was received.

In some cases, more than 90 days may be needed to make a decision. In such cases the claimant will be notified in writing, within the initial 90-day period, of the reason more time is needed. An additional 90 days may be taken to make the decision if the claimant is sent such a notice. The extension notice will show the date by which the decision will be sent.

(b)Requirement for Notice of Claim Denial. The Administrator shall provide to every claimant who is denied a claim for benefits a written or electronic notice setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant:

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

(c)Right to Appeal to Committee and Request Hearing on Claim Denial. If the claim for benefits or review of any matter under the Program is denied or no reply at all is received by the claimant within the 90-day period (or 180-day period if an extension was required) after filing the claim, the claimant, or other duly authorized person, may appeal to the Committee this denial in writing within 60 days after it is received (or within 60 days of the expiration of the 90- or 180-day period described above, as applicable). Written request for review of any denied claim should be sent in accordance with the notice provisions of Section IX.E below.

The claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits. Moreover, the claimant or his or her duly authorized representative shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. The request for a review may include a request for a hearing; provided, only the claimant and the Committee may be present at any hearing granted by the Committee.

(d)Disposition of Disputed Claims. Upon receipt of a request for review, the Committee shall make a decision on the claim. The review shall take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The decision on review shall be made not later than 60 days after the Committee’s receipt of a request for a review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review. If an extension is necessary, the claimant shall be given written notice of the extension prior to the expiration of the initial 60-day period.

The Committee shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notification of the Committee’s determination on review.

The decision shall also include a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. Moreover, the decision shall contain a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.

(e)Bar to Legal Action. No legal action may be commenced or maintained against the Program prior to the claimant’s exhaustion of the claims procedures set forth in this Section. In addition, no legal action may be commenced against the Program more than 90 days after the Committee’s decision on review.

(f)Arbitration. In the event that any dispute under the provisions of this Program is not resolved to the satisfaction of the affected Participant through this Program's claims procedures described above, other than a dispute in which the primary relief sought is an equitable remedy such as an injunction, the Participant may elect to have the dispute, controversy or claim settled by arbitration in New York City, New York in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any award entered by the arbitrator shall be final, binding and nonappealable and judgment may be entered thereon by either party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction.

•Employer Identification Number: [     ] assigned by the IRS.
•Plan Number: [ ] assigned by CEI.
B.Program Continuance

CEI may amend or terminate this Program at any time. Any amendments or the termination of the Program shall not result in the forfeiture of the benefits previously awarded under the Program.

C.Program Documents

This document is both the Program and a Summary Plan Description as such terms are defined in ERISA.

D.Rights of a Program Participant

As a Participant in this Program, you are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA, which provides that all Program Participants shall be entitled to:

Receive information about the Program and benefits.

Examine, without charge, at the Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, all Program documents and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 series) filed with the U.S. Department of Labor, and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration;

Obtain upon written request to the Administrator, copies of all documents governing the operation of the Program, and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 series) and updated summary plan description. The Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.

Prudent actions by the Program fiduciaries.

In addition to creating rights for Program Participants, ERISA imposes duties upon those who are responsible for the operation of employee benefit plans. The people who operate the Program, called
“Fiduciaries,” have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Program Participants. No one, including your employer, or any other person, may terminate your employment or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a benefit or exercising your right  under ERISA.

Enforce your rights.

If your claim for a benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain periods.

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of plan documents or the latest annual report from the Administrator and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a federal court. In such case, the court may require the Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or federal court after exhausting the Program’s claims procedures. If you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor or you may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who will pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees if, for example, it finds your claim is frivolous.

Assistance with your questions.

If you have any questions about the Program, you should contact the Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement of your rights, or about your rights under ERISA, you should contact your nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U. S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory, or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

E. Statement of Employer’s Rights

A Participant’s eligibility for benefits under this Program shall not be considered a guarantee of continued or lifetime employment with the Company and shall not change the fact that a Participant shall be
considered an employee at will. A Participant’s employment by the Company may be terminated by the Company whenever the Company in its sole discretion considers that to be in its best interest, subject to applicable law.Document

Footnotes: 
(1)    Effective April 1, 2022, the value of the annual equity award granted to non-employee Directors was increased from $150,000 to $160,000.

Non-employee Directors participate in the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). Pursuant to the LTIP, each non-employee Director then serving is allocated an annual equity award of $150,000 of deferred stock units on the first business day following the Annual Meeting. If a non-employee Director is first appointed to the Board after an annual meeting, his or her first annual equity award is prorated. 

Settlement of the annual equity awards of stock units are automatically deferred until the Director’s termination of service from the Board of Directors. Each non-employee Director may elect to receive some or all of his or her annual equity awards of stock units on another date or to further defer any other prior annual equity award of stock units, including any related dividend equivalents earned on such prior annual equity awards of stock units. 

Each non-employee Director may also elect to defer all or a portion of his or her retainers into additional deferred stock units, which are deferred until the Director’s termination of service. 

Dividend equivalents are payable on deferred stock units in the amount and at the time that dividends are paid on Company Common Stock and are credited in the form of additional deferred stock units which are fully vested as of the date the dividends would have been paid to the Director or, at the Director’s option, are paid in cash. 

All payments on account of deferred stock units are made in shares of Company Common Stock. The LTIP provides that cash compensation deferred into stock units, annual equity awards, and dividend equivalents granted to non-employee Directors that are credited in the form of additional deferred stock units, are fully vested, and payable in a single one-time payment of whole shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) within sixty days following separation from Board service unless the Director elected to defer distribution to another date.

The Company reimburses non-employee Directors for reasonable expenses incurred in attending in person Board and Committee meetings. No person who serves on both the Company’s Board and on the Board of its subsidiary, Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., and corresponding Committees, is paid additional compensation for concurrent service. Directors who are 

employees of the Company or its subsidiaries do not receive retainers or annual equity awards of deferred stock units for their service on the Board.

Members of the Board are also eligible to participate in the Company’s Stock Purchase Plan (“Stock Purchase Plan”).

Copies of the LTIP and the Company’s Stock Purchase Plan, and amendments thereto, have been (or, as to amendments that may be adopted after the date of this description, will be) included as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
