a. Basic Severance Benefits. Subject to Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7, if the Participant has a Qualified Termination as defined in Section 2(x), the Participant shall be eligible to receive the following benefits:

i. a lump sum cash payment of accrued but unpaid salary and accrued but unused vacation as of the Participant’s date of termination;

ii. a lump sum cash payment of a prorated portion of the Participant’s Bonus (unless the Participant receives his annual cash Bonus for the year of termination pursuant to another plan, policy or arrangement), determined by calculating the product of (A) the amount of the Participant’s Bonus and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days worked in the year in which the termination of employment occurs and the denominator of which is 365;

iii. a lump sum cash payment based on the Participant’s position as of the Participant’s date of termination, as follows:

iv. subject to Section 11 of this Plan , all performance-based equity awards granted to the Participant by the Company under the Omnibus Plan (including, but not limited to awards granted pursuant to a mid-term performance plan with multi-year performance cycles) shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable; shall be deemed earned based on the target performance being attained for the performance period; and shall pay out pro rata based on the portion of the performance period elapsed on the effective date of the Qualified Termination;

5

v. subject to Section 11 of this Plan, all stock options, restricted stock units and other time-vesting equity awards granted to the Participant by the Company under the Omnibus Plan, except the portion of any award of restricted stock units that vests upon retirement, shall immediately become vested and exercisable in full and/or all restrictions on all shares subject to awards shall lapse (regardless of whether such stock options, restricted stock units or other equity-based awards were vested and exercisable or subject to restrictions at the time of the termination of the Participant’s employment or the Change of Control), with any stock options or other equity-based awards remaining exercisable for the remainder of their stated term;

vi. full and immediate vesting of any supplemental pension benefit under any funded or unfunded or nonqualified pension or deferred compensation plan now or hereafter maintained by the Company in which the Participant participates, with payment to be made at such time and in accordance with the terms of such plan(s); and

vii. except to the extent the following violates section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act (as added by Section 1001 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act) or any other applicable law, the following health and welfare benefits:

Subject to Section 11 of this Plan, Basic Severance Benefits described in paragraphs (i) through (iv) above shall be paid within ten (10) business days (or at such earlier time as required by applicable law) following the Participant’s termination of employment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(a). Consistent with Section 11, if a Participant becomes entitled to the Basic Severance Benefits described in paragraphs (i) through (iv) above during a period in which he is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Company under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of

6

interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes), the Participant’s right to receive such payments and benefits shall be delayed until the earlier of the Participant’s death or the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service.

b. Election of Enhanced Severance Benefits. Subject to the Participant’s election of Enhanced Severance Benefits pursuant to this Section 3(b), and subject to Sections 4, 5, 6, and 7, if the Participant has a Qualified Termination as defined in Section 2(x), the Participant shall be eligible to receive certain enhancements to the Basic Severance Benefits described in Section 3(a), provided that the Participant enters into a noncompetition agreement described in Section 5(b) with the Company at the time of his termination, as follows:

i. an additional lump sum cash payment, based on the Participant’s position as of the Participant’s date of termination as follows:

ii. subject to Section 11 of this Plan, the restrictions on an award of restricted stock units that vest upon retirement shall immediately lapse;

The enhanced portion of the lump sum cash payment described in Section 3(b)(i) above shall be paid upon the expiration of the 18-month noncompetition period under the noncompetition agreement described in Section 5(b), provided the Participant has complied with the terms of such agreement. In all other respects, the Participant will receive the Basic Severance Benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(a), including the applicable lump sum cash payment amount described in Section 3(a)(iii), and the Enhanced Severance Benefits described in Sections 3(b)(ii).

c. Death Benefits. If a Participant dies after becoming entitled to benefits hereunder but before receiving payment, such benefits will be paid to the Participant’s estate as soon as practicable after his or her death. If a Participant has elected Enhanced Severance Benefits and dies before the expiration of the noncompetition period described in Section 3(b) above, he or she shall be considered entitled to the enhanced lump sum cash payment described in Section 3(b)(i), and the payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate.

d. Vesting and Payout of Performance-Based Equity Awards Absent a Qualifying Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in the event that a Qualifying Termination does not occur following a Change in Control, all performance-based equity awards granted to the Participant by the Company under the Omnibus Plan (including, but not limited to awards granted pursuant to a mid-term performance plan with multi-year performance cycles), shall vest and become non-forfeitable in accordance with the regular vesting schedule set forth in the respective award agreement; but shall be deemed earned based on the target performance being

7

attained for the performance period; and shall be distributed or paid to the Participant on the regularly scheduled payment date as set forth in the respective award agreement.

4. Mandatory Reduction of Payments in Certain Events.

a. Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event 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 Plan or otherwise) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, prior to the making of any Payment to the Participant, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the net benefit to the Participant of the Payment after payment of the Excise Tax, to (ii) the net benefit to the Participant if the Payment had been limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. If the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount calculated under (ii) above, then the Payment shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”). The reduction of the Payments due hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing cash Payments and then, to the extent necessary, reducing those Payments having the next highest ratio of Parachute Value to actual present value of such Payments as of the date of the Change of Control, as determined by the Determination Firm (as defined in Section 4(b) below). For purposes of this Section 4, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 4, the “Parachute Value” of a Payment means the present value as of the date of the Change of Control of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, as determined by the Determination Firm for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such Payment.

b. The determination of whether an Excise Tax would be imposed, the amount of such Excise Tax, and the calculation of the amounts referred to Section 4(a)(i) and (ii) above shall be made by an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm or compensation consulting firm mutually acceptable to the Company and the Participant (the “Determination Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations. Any determination by the Determination Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Determination Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments which the Participant was entitled to, but did not receive pursuant to Section 4(a), could have been made without the imposition of the Excise Tax (“Underpayment”). In such event, the Determination Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant but no later than March 15 of the year after the year in which the Underpayment is determined to exist, which is when the legally binding right to such Underpayment arises.

8

c. In the event that the provisions of Code Section 280G and 4999 or any successor provisions are repealed without succession, this Section 12 shall be of no further force or effect.

5. Restrictive Covenants.

a. Confidential Information. During the period of their employment with the Company, Participants shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company and its Affiliates all trade secrets, proprietary or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company, and/or their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Participant. Trade secret information includes, but is not limited to, customer lists, pricing information, sales reports, financial and marketing data, reserves estimation processes or procedures, techniques, or processes that: (i) derive independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to persons who can obtain economic value from their disclosure or use, and (ii) are the subject of reasonable efforts under the circumstances to maintain their secrecy. While employed and at any time after termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company, the Participant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, use, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone at any time.

b. Covenant Not to Compete. If the Participant elects to receive Enhanced Severance Benefits pursuant to Section 3(b), then at the time of termination of employment with the Company, the Participant shall enter into an agreement with the Company whereby he or she agrees not to, during the 18-month period commencing upon a Participant’s Qualified Termination which entitles the Participant to Enhanced Severance Benefits hereunder, (i) directly or indirectly, individually or as a director, officer, principal, agent, Participant, or in any other capacity or relationship, engage in any business or employment, or aid or endeavor to assist any business or legal entity that Competes with the Company, (ii) hold, directly or indirectly, more than five percent of any class of stock of any corporation or more than a 5% interest in any partnership or other business or legal entity that Competes with the Company. Entities within the scope of the term “Competes” shall be up to five financial services industry companies, as designated by the Committee at the time of the Change of Control.

c. Non-Disparagement. The Participant agrees not to, while employed and during the 18-month period commencing upon a Qualified Termination, make any remarks (whether in public or private) knowingly or intentionally disparaging the Company or its Affiliates, or their respective products, services, officers, directors or employees, whether past or current, including any present, former or future director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or an Affiliate.

d. Solicitation of Customers or Clients by Participants. Unless waived in writing by the Company, each Participant agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, while employed and during the 18-month period commencing upon a Qualified Termination, solicit or contact, directly or indirectly, the trade or patronage of any of the customers or clients of the Company, regardless of the location of such customers or

9

clients of the Company with respect to any services, products, or other matters in which the Company is active.

e. Solicitation of Company Employees. Unless waived in writing by the Company, each Participant agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, while employed and during the 18-month period commencing upon a Qualified Termination, solicit or attempt to entice away from the Company any director, agent or employee of the Company.

f. Remedies. If a Participant breaches any of the provisions of this Section 5, the Company shall have the right to reduce or offset the Basic or Enhanced Severance Benefits owing to the Participant to the extent of its damages and seek other appropriate relief (including any equitable remedy to which the Company may be entitled), including attorneys’ fees.

6. No Duty to Mitigate/Set-off. No Participant entitled to receive Basic or Enhanced Severance Benefits hereunder shall be required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to him or her pursuant to this Plan. Further, the amount of Basic or Enhanced Severance Benefits payable hereunder shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Participant as a result of employment by another employer or otherwise. Except as provided herein, the amounts payable hereunder shall not be subject to setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against the Participant or others. A Participant entitled to Basic or Enhanced Severance Benefits under this Plan shall not be eligible for benefits under any severance, layoff or termination benefits provided under any other agreement, plan, program or arrangement maintained or sponsored by the Company. In addition, if any termination payments made to a Participant by the Company are related to an actual or potential liability under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) or similar law, such amounts shall reduce (offset) the Participant’s Basic or Enhanced Severance Benefit under this Plan. In the event of the Participant’s breach of any provision hereunder, including without limitation, Sections 4, 5, 6 or 7, the Company shall be entitled to recover any payments previously made to the Participant hereunder.

7. Release Required. Any amounts payable pursuant to this Plan shall only be payable if the Participant delivers to the Company a release of all claims of any kind whatsoever that the Participant has or may have against the Company and its Affiliates and their officers, directors and employees known or unknown as of the date of his or her termination of employment (other than claims to payments specifically provided hereunder, claims under COBRA, claims to vested accrued benefits under the Company’s tax-qualified employee benefit plans, claims for reimbursement under the Company’s medical reimbursement program for any unreimbursed medical expenses incurred on or before the Participant’s date of termination, claims for unreimbursed business expenses in accordance with the Company’s policy or rights of indemnification or contribution to which the Participant was entitled under the Company’s By-laws, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise with regard to the Participant’s service as an employee, officer or director of the Company) occurring up to the release

10

date in such form as reasonably requested by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company with respect to any claim, lawsuit, action, proceeding or governmental investigation relating to the Change of Control.

8. Funding. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company and/or its Affiliates may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan.

9. Administration of the Plan.

a. Plan Administrator. The general administration of the Plan on behalf of the Company (as plan administrator under Section 3(16)(A) of ERISA) shall be placed with the Committee.

b. Reimbursement of Expenses of Plan Committee. The Company shall pay or reimburse the members of the Committee for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with their duties hereunder.

c. Action by the Plan Committee. Decisions of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members attending a meeting at which a quorum is present (which meeting may be held telephonically), or by written action in accordance with applicable law. Subject to the terms of this Plan and provided that the Committee acts in good faith, the Committee shall have full discretion and authority to determine a Participant’s participation and benefits under the Plan and to interpret and construe the provisions of the Plan.

d. Delegation of Authority. The Committee may delegate any and all of its powers and responsibilities hereunder to other persons. Any such delegation shall not be effective until it is accepted by the persons designated and may be rescinded at any time by written notice from the Committee to the person to whom the delegation is made.

e. Retention of Professional Assistance. The Committee may employ such legal counsel, accountants and other persons as may be required in carrying out its duties and responsibilities in connection with the Plan.

f. Accounts and Records. The Committee shall maintain such accounts and records regarding the fiscal and other transactions of the Plan and such other data as

11

may be required to carry out its functions under the Plan and to comply with all applicable laws.

g. Claims/Disputes Procedure.

i. Prior to paying any benefit under the Plan, the Committee may require the Participant to provide such information or material as the Company, in its sole discretion, shall deem necessary for it to make any determination it may be required to make under the Plan. The Committee may withhold payments of any benefit under the Plan until it receives all such information and material and is reasonably satisfied of its accuracy.

ii. Claims for benefits under the Plan should be forwarded to the Committee. The Committee shall provide adequate notice in writing to a Participant whose claim for benefits is denied, setting forth the specific reasons for such denial. In the event of the denial of a claim, the Participant has the right to file a written request for a review of the denial with the Committee within 90 days after the Participant receives written notice of the denial. The Committee will conduct a full and fair review of the claim for benefits. The Committee will deliver to the Participant a written decision on that claim within 60 days after the receipt for review, unless there are special circumstances requiring an extension of time for processing, the 60-day period may be extended up to 120 days.

iii. All acts and decisions of the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Participant.

h. Fees and Expenses. The Company will pay or reimburse the Participant, on a current basis, for all costs and expenses, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Participant in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Plan, provided that the Participant is successful on at least one element of his claim.

i. Indemnification. The Committee, its members and any person designated pursuant to Section 9(d) above shall not be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan. The Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, by the purchase of insurance or otherwise, indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each director, officer and employee of the Company for liabilities or expenses they and each of them incur in carrying out their respective duties under this Plan, other than for any liabilities or expenses arising out of such individual’s willful misconduct or fraud.

10. Continuance of Welfare Benefits Upon Death. If the Participant dies while receiving a welfare continuation benefit provided under Section 3(a)(vii) or Section 3(b)(iii) of the Plan, the Participant’s spouse and other dependents will continue to be covered under all applicable welfare plans during the remainder of the respective coverage period. The Participant’s spouse and other dependents will become eligible for COBRA continuation coverage for health and dental benefits at the end of such period.

12

11. Code Section 409A.

a. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of a Participant’s termination of employment, such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to the Participant by reason of such circumstance unless (i) the circumstances giving rise to such termination of employment meet any description or definition of “separation from service” in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition), or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit would be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise. This provision does not prohibit the vesting of any amount upon a termination of employment, however defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any amount or benefit, such payment or distribution shall be made on the date, if any, on which an event occurs that constitutes a Section 409A-compliant “separation from service.”

b. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Plan by reason of a Participant’s separation from service during a period in which he is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Company under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes):

(i) if the payment or distribution is payable in a lump sum, the Participant’s right to receive payment or distribution of such non-exempt deferred compensation will be delayed until the earlier of the Participant’s death or the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service; and

(ii) if the payment or distribution is payable over time, the amount of such non-exempt deferred compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s separation from service will be accumulated and the Participant’s right to receive payment or distribution of such accumulated amount will be delayed until the earlier of the Participant’s death or the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service, whereupon the accumulated amount will be paid or distributed to the Participant and the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume.

For purposes of this Plan, the term “Specified Employee” has the meaning given such term in Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder (“Final 409A

13
