Payment under this subsection 3.02(b) shall be in lieu of an Annual Incentive Award for the Fiscal Year in which the Employment Termination Date occurs. In the event the Covered Executive is determined by the Committee to be entitled to an Annual Incentive Award for the Fiscal Year in which the Employment Termination Date occurs, no payment will be made under this subsection 3.02(b).

(c)    (i)    If the Covered Executive is a participant in the Pension Plans and is not a Core Contribution Participant under the Retirement Savings Plan, a lump sum cash payment equal to the difference between the actuarial present values as of the Employment Termination Date of:

(A)    The Covered Executive’s accrued vested pension benefits under the Pension Plans, calculated assuming that payment of the benefits will commence in the form of a straight life annuity on the earliest date on which the Covered Executive could commence payment if he or she is eligible for an early retirement subsidy on any portion of his or her accrued benefits on the Employment Termination Date, or on the first day of the month after the Covered Executive attains age 65 if he or she is not; and

(B)    The Covered Executive’s accrued vested pension benefits under the Pension Plans calculated by adding one year (in the case of the CEO, two years) of service to the actual service credited under such plans for benefit accrual and vesting purposes and including any early retirement subsidy available under the Pension Plans for which the Covered Executive is not eligible due to termination before satisfying age and service requirements for such subsidy, and assuming that the Covered Executive’s benefit will commence in the form of a straight life annuity on the earliest date on which he or she could retire and commence a benefit under the Pension Plans.

For purposes of calculating the actuarial present values of (A) and (B) above, the interest rate shall be the average of the average monthly yields for municipal bonds published monthly by Moody’s Investors’ Service Inc. for the three months immediately preceding the Employment Termination Date and the life expectancy assumptions shall be those most frequently used by the Pension Plans' actuaries for other purposes. The calculation of the pension payment described in this subparagraph shall be made by a nationally recognized firm of enrolled actuaries acceptable to the Covered Executive and the Company. The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such actuarial firm. The calculation made by such actuarial firm shall be binding on the Covered Executive and the Company.

(ii)    If the Covered Executive is a Core Contribution Participant in the Retirement Savings Plan, a lump sum cash payment (or, in lieu of the payment

described in clause (i) above) equal to the Company Core Contributions and Core Credits (as defined in the Savings Plans) that the Covered Executive would have received under the Savings Plans during the one-year period (in the case of the CEO, two-year period) following the Employment Termination Date assuming that (I) the Covered Executive remained actively employed by the Company during such period, (II) the Covered Executive’s Salary continued at the higher of the rate in effect on the Employment Termination Date or the rate in effect immediately prior to any purported reduction in the Covered Executive’s Salary constituting Good Reason, and (III) the Covered Executive’s Annual Incentive Plan awards were equal in amount to the higher of the most recent award received prior to the Employment Termination Date and the average of the awards available to the Covered Executive under the Annual Incentive Plan during and/or for each of the three immediately preceding Fiscal Years; provided that the amount payable to the Covered Executive under this clause (c) shall in no event include any Company matching contributions or credits on such Company Core Contributions or Core Credits.

Section 3.03    Non-Cash Benefits. In addition to the Benefits provided under Section 3.02, a Covered Executive shall receive, subject to the Covered Executive's satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 3.05 of the Plan, the following additional benefits:

(a)If the Covered Executive is covered under any of the Company’s group medical and dental plans as of the Employment Termination Date, and the Covered Executive is eligible for and timely elects continuation coverage under such plans pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Company will pay the cost of such COBRA coverage on behalf of the Covered Executive, and each of his dependents who were covered under such medical and dental plans as of the Employment Termination Date and who are qualified beneficiaries under COBRA, for twelve months following the Employment Termination Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent that any Covered Executive is eligible to commence retiree medical benefits under the Company’s group medical plan on the Employment Termination Date, the preceding sentence shall not apply to such Covered Executive with respect to such plan and shall not affect the Covered Executive’s entitlement to retiree medical benefits under the terms and conditions of such plan.

(b)    Outplacement assistance at times and locations that are convenient to the Covered Executive; provided that such outplacement services will be provided for a period of no more than 12 months following the Employment Termination Date.

Section 3.04    Long-Term Incentive Plan Benefits. In addition to the Benefits payable under Sections 3.02 and 3.03, a Covered Executive’s Long-Term Incentive Plan awards shall, subject to the Covered Executive's satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 3.05 of the Plan, be treated in accordance with this Section 3.04.

(a)(i)    All stock options and stock appreciation rights that are exercisable as of the Covered Executive’s Employment Termination Date shall continue to be exercisable following such Employment Termination Date and shall remain exercisable for the remainder of the term applicable to the stock option or stock appreciation right. All stock options and stock appreciation rights that are not exercisable as of the Covered Executive’s Employment Termination Date shall automatically terminate as of the Employment Termination Date.

(i)All unearned performance shares and other awards with performance-based vesting shall vest as of the Covered Executive’s Employment

Termination Date in an amount to be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares or units that would have been earned by the Covered Executive under each such award at the level of performance determined by the Committee at the end of the applicable performance cycle for other senior executives of the Company by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months that have elapsed between the beginning of the applicable performance period and the Covered Executive’s Employment Termination Date and the denominator of which is the number of full months in such performance period. Payments in respect of such vested awards shall be made within 30 days of the Committee’s determination, or, if later, as soon as permissible under Section 409A.

(ii)All other awards, including restricted stock units (other than deferred stock units that vest under the Long-Term Incentive Plan or the applicable award agreement upon a Covered Executive's death, disability or retirement) and restricted stock, that are subject to time-based vesting or other non-performance based conditions shall vest as of the Covered Executive’s Employment Termination Date in an amount determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares or units that are subject to the award by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months that shall have elapsed since the beginning of the applicable vesting period and the denominator of which is the number of full months in the vesting period. Deferred stock units and restricted stock that become vested under the Long-Term Incentive Plan or applicable award agreement upon a Covered Executive's death, disability or retirement shall become fully vested on the Covered Executive's Employment Termination Date. Payments in respect of such vested awards shall be made as soon as practicable after the Release Effective Date (as defined below) or, if later, as soon as permissible under Section 409A.

(b)For purposes of this Section 3.04, fractional shares of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the next highest whole share of stock.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the treatment of Long-Term Incentive Plan awards held by a Covered Executive whose Termination of Employment is a Retirement (as defined in the Long-Term Incentive Plan) shall be determined under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and applicable award agreement (and not under this Section 3.04) to the extent determined by the Committee on the Covered Executive's Employment Termination Date to be more favorable to the Covered Executive.

Section 3.05    Conditions to Entitlement to Benefit. To be eligible to receive any Benefits under the Plan after the Covered Executive’s Employment Termination Date has been set, a Covered Executive must (a) continue in his then current office and perform such duties for the Company as are typically related to the Covered Executive’s position (or such other position as the Board reasonably requests) including identifying, recruiting and/or transitioning the Covered Executive’s successor, in all events performing all assigned duties in the manner reasonably directed by the CEO in his sole discretion, or if the CEO is the Covered Executive, by the Board in its sole discretion, and cease his employment on the Employment Termination Date; (b) on or after the Employment Termination Date, but prior to the 30th day following the Employment Termination Date, execute and provide to the Company a release and discharge of the Company from any and all claims, demands or causes of action, in such form as the Administrator shall determine, in his discretion, acting on behalf of the Company, and such release must not be revoked before becoming effective and irrevocable (the date on which the release becomes effective and irrevocable shall be the “Release Effective Date”); and (c) prior to the Release Effective Date, execute a noncompetition, nonsolicitation, and nondisparagement

agreement that extends for the two-year period following the Covered Executive’s Employment Termination Date in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such changes therein as the Administrator shall determine, in his discretion, acting on behalf of the Company. No Benefits due hereunder shall be paid to a Covered Executive who has not complied in all respects with the requirements of this Section 3.05. On or after the Release Effective Date, the Company shall provide the Covered Executive with a release of claims against the Covered Executive.

Section 3.06    Method of Payment. Benefits under the Plan shall be paid as follows:

(a)The cash Benefits determined pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof shall be paid in a lump sum, subject to all employment and withholding taxes applicable to the type of payments made. Such payments shall be made as soon as practicable after the Covered Executive’s Release Effective Date, or, if later, as soon as permissible under Section 409A. In the event the permitted time between the Employment Termination Date and the Release Effective Date could span two taxable years, payment will be made in the second taxable year.

(b)    The non-cash Benefits described in Section 3.03 shall be provided after the Employment Termination Date in accordance with the applicable Company plan, program or policy or as permitted by Section 409A if later;

provided that if the Covered Executive fails to comply with all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.05, the Covered Executive shall be required to repay to the Company in cash within five (5) business days after written demand is made therefor by the Company, an amount equal to the value of any Benefit received under Section 3.03.

(c)    Long-Term Incentive Plan awards referred to in Section 3.04 will be paid on the later of the date contemplated under the applicable award agreement and the date (if any) provided for under Section 3.04; provided that payment shall be made in accordance with the applicable award agreement to the extent required to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A.

Section 3.07    Death or Disability. If a Covered Executive, incurs Disability or dies before the Employment Termination Date has been set, no Plan payments or other benefits will be due and owing to the Covered Executive or, in the case of his death, to his estate or beneficiary. If a Covered Executive incurs Disability or dies after his Employment Termination Date has been set but not attained, the Administrator shall cause any Benefits due under the Plan to be paid to the Covered Executive or, in the case of his death, to the Covered Executive’s Designated Beneficiary as defined in the Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Section 3.08    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, the change in control agreement applicable to the Covered Executive shall continue in full force and effect and the Plan shall be null and void; and, if the Change in Control occurs after the Employment Termination Date has been set but before the Employment Termination Date, the change in control agreement applicable to the Covered Executive shall continue in full force and effect and the Employment Termination Date under the Plan shall be treated under the change in control agreement as the Covered Executive’s “Termination Date” for other than death, “Disability” or “Cause”, as such terms appearing in quotations are defined in the change in control agreement, and the Plan shall be null and void.

Section 4.01    Authority and Duties. It shall be the duty of the Administrator, on the basis of information supplied by the Company, to determine the entitlement of each Covered Executive to Benefits under the Plan. The Administrator shall have the full power and authority to (a) determine whether a Covered Executive’s termination of employment with the Company constitutes a Termination of Employment for purposes of the Plan and (b) construe, interpret and administer the Plan, to correct deficiencies therein, and to supply omissions. All decisions, actions, and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties. The Committee may delegate to appropriate Company officers its authority and its duties as it shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, and the actions of such person or persons shall have the same force and effect as any action of the Committee in respect of the Plan (other than any action by such person or persons to delegate the Committee’s duties or authority hereunder); provided, however, that the Committee shall approve the eligibility for Benefits.

Section 4.02    Expenses of the Administrator. All reasonable expenses of the Administrator shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company upon proper documentation. The Company shall indemnify and defend the Administrator against personal liability for actions taken in good faith in the discharge of its duties hereunder.

Section 4.03    Actions of the Administrator. Whenever a determination is required of the Administrator under the Plan, such determination shall be made solely at the discretion of the Administrator. In addition, the exercise of discretion by the Administrator need not be uniformly applied to similarly situated Covered Executives and shall be final and binding on each Covered Executive or beneficiary(ies) to whom the determination is directed.

The Company, acting through the Committee, retains the right, at any time and from time to time, to amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, for any reason, and, except as provided below, without either the consent of or the prior notification to any Covered Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as specifically provided under Section 7.12(d), no such amendment, suspension or termination shall (a) give the Company the right to recover any amount paid to a Covered Executive prior to the date of such action, (b) cause the cessation and discontinuance of payments of Benefits to any person or persons under the Plan already receiving Benefits, or (c) be effective to terminate or reduce the Benefits or prospective Benefits of any Covered Executive whose Employment Termination Date has been set as of the date of such amendment, suspension or termination (unless the express written consent of the Covered Executive has been obtained with respect thereto).

Section 6.01    Records. The Company shall supply to the Administrator all records and information necessary to the performance of the Administrator’s duties.

Section 6.02    Discretion. Any decisions, actions or interpretations to be made under the Plan by the Board, the Committee, the Company, or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the

Company, shall be made in its or their respective sole discretion, not in any fiduciary capacity and need not be uniformly applied to similarly situated individuals and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all parties.

Section 7.01    Nonalienation of Benefits. None of the payments, Benefits or rights of any Covered Executive shall be subject to any claim of any creditor, and, in particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such payments, Benefits and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment, trustee’s process, or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of such Covered Executive. No Covered Executive shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the Benefits or payments which he may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under the Plan.

Section 7.02    No Contract of Employment. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any Benefits shall be construed as giving any Covered Executive, or any person whosoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Company, and all Covered Executives shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.

Section 7.03    Entire Agreement. Except as may be provided in a change in control agreement that is in effect for a Covered Executive at the time of a Change in Control between the Company and a Covered Executive, this Plan document, as it may be amended by the Committee, and the documents specifically referenced herein, or in such amendment, shall constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Covered Executive with respect to the Benefits promised hereunder and no other agreements, representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to such Benefits or any severance benefits shall be binding on the Company; provided that the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement entered as of 14 November 2017 between Air Products and Mr. Ghasemi shall remain effective and shall control to the extent treatment under such agreement is more favorable to Mr. Ghasemi than under the Plan.

Section 7.04    Severability of Provisions. If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

Section 7.05    Successors, Heirs, Assigns, and Personal Representatives. The Plan shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties, including each Covered Executive, present and future.

Section 7.06    Headings and Captions. The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.

Section 7.07    Gender and Number. Except where otherwise clearly indicated by context, the masculine and the neuter shall include the feminine and the neuter; the singular shall include the plural, and vice-versa.

Section 7.08    Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall not be funded. The Company may, but shall not be required to, set aside or earmark an amount necessary to provide the Benefits

specified herein (including the establishment of trusts). In any event, no Covered Executive shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of the Company.

Section 7.09    Payments to Incompetent Persons, Etc. Any Benefit payable to or for the Benefit of a minor, an incompetent person or other person incapable of receipting therefor shall be deemed paid when paid to such person’s guardian or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment shall fully discharge the Company, the Administrator and all other parties with respect thereto.

Section 7.10    Lost Payees. A Benefit shall be deemed forfeited if the Administrator is unable to locate a Covered Executive to whom a Benefit is due. Such Benefit shall be reinstated if application is made by the Covered Executive for the forfeited Benefit while the Plan is in operation.

Section 7.11    Controlling Law and Nature of Plan. The Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the extent not preempted by Federal law. The Plan is not intended to be included in the definitions of “employee pension benefit plan” and “pension plan” set forth under Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Rather, the Plan is intended to meet the descriptive requirements of a plan constituting a “severance pay plan” within the meaning of regulations published by the Secretary of Labor at Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 2510.3-2(b).

Section 7.12    Section 409A.

(a)It is intended that the provisions of this Plan comply with Section 409A, and all provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A.

(b)    Neither the Covered Executive nor any of the Covered Executive’s creditors or beneficiaries shall have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable under this Plan or under any other plan, policy, arrangement or agreement of or with the Company or any of its affiliates (this Plan and such other plans, policies, arrangements and agreements, the “Company Plans”) to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable to the Covered Executive or for the Covered Executive’s benefit under any Company plan may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by the Covered Executive to the Company or any of its affiliates.

(c)    If, at the time of the Covered Executive’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A), (i) the Covered Executive shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A and using the indemnification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable under a Company Plan constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule as set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then the Company shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead accumulate such amount and pay it, without interest, on the first business day after such six-month period.

(d)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any Company Plan to the contrary, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Plan and any

Company plan as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A. In any case, the Covered Executive is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on the Covered Executive for the Covered Executive’s account in connection with any Company Plan (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Company nor any affiliate shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold the Covered Executive harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.
