Exhibit A Change of Control Severance Policy for Officers (adopted and effective July 30, 2013)

Exhibit 10.1

December 24, 2013

Kevin Mandia

c/o Mandiant Corporation

Dear Kevin,

FireEye Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “FireEye”), is anticipating entering into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with certain parties pursuant to which Mandiant Corporation (“Mandiant”) will become acquired by the Company. This offer letter will govern your employment with the Company effective as of, and contingent upon, the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Your employment with the Company will commence as of the date of the Closing (the “Start Date”). As of the Start Date, the terms and conditions of this offer letter will supersede in their entirety any commitments or promises that may have been made to you by Mandiant, the Company or any other person and any employment agreement, offer letter, or similar agreement regarding your employment with Mandiant or the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any severance obligations). If the Closing does not occur, this offer letter will not take effect. This will confirm the terms under which the Company has made you an offer of employment:

1. Title. You will be employed as Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer reporting directly to David DeWalt, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. This is a full-time position.

You agree that, within 6 months from your Start Date, you will relocate your primary business location from Mandiant’s headquarters to the Company’s headquarters in California. The Company will provide relocation assistance in support of your move to California.

2. Cash Compensation. You will receive an annual base salary of $260,000 per year, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and subject to normal withholding taxes. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or the Compensation Committee of the Board shall review your base salary at least annually. In addition, you continue to be eligible for your current annual target executive bonus. Payout of this bonus will be based on your individual performance objectives and Company success metrics, as shall be determined by the Company after consultation with you.

You should note that the Company may modify job titles, salaries, and benefits from time to time as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, provided that, for the first two years following the Start Date, your compensation, title and reporting responsibility shall not be modified in a manner adverse to you without your written consent.

3. Employee Benefits. You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans made available to similarly situated employees of the Company. All benefits provisions of this letter are contingent on particular benefit program being kept in force by the Company and provided you meet the eligibility requirements and other terms, conditions, and restrictions of programs.

4. Equity Awards.

a) Mandiant Restricted Stock. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, at the Closing, each share of Mandiant common stock that is subject to a repurchase option or other risk of forfeiture and outstanding prior to the Closing (“Mandiant Restricted Stock”) will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive a number of shares of FireEye common stock (“FireEye Restricted Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio. Your FireEye Restricted Stock will have substantially the same terms and conditions applicable to your Mandiant Restricted Stock, including vesting terms, repurchase option or obligation, risk of forfeiture and other conditions, except that your FireEye Restricted Stock will have accelerated vesting terms described in Section 5 below.

b) Revesting of Shares. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, each share of Mandiant common stock will be cancelled and converted automatically into the Per Share Cash Consideration and the Per Share Stock Consideration, less amounts of FireEye common stock and cash withheld in escrow to secure claims of indemnified parties. In addition to the amounts placed in escrow, FireEye will hold back a certain number of shares of FireEye common stock otherwise payable to you as Per Share Stock Consideration that have an economic value equal to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of your Mandiant common stock that was fully vested and free of any risk of forfeiture at the Closing (the “Revested Stock”). At the Closing, the Revested Stock will be subjected to a new risk of forfeiture. The Revested Stock will not be placed into escrow or vested as of the Closing but will vest as to 1/2 of the Revested Stock on each annual anniversary of the Closing, subject to your continued service to FireEye or any subsidiary through such vesting date. Except as provided by the following sentence, any Revested Stock that has not vested on or prior to your termination of employment date will be automatically forfeited to FireEye without consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to the 2nd anniversary of the Closing, your service to FireEye or any subsidiary is terminated by FireEye without Cause (as defined in the Severance Policy described in Section 5), you terminate employment following a breach by FireEye of Section 2 of this letter or you resign for Good Reason (as defined in the Severance Policy) after a Change of Control (as defined in the Severance Policy), then the Revested Stock will become fully vested and immediately payable to you. The detailed treatment of the Revested Stock will be established in a holdback agreement entered into between you and the Company.

c) Waiver of Single-Trigger Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, by your signature to this offer letter, you hereby waive any rights to accelerated vesting or release of restrictions related to your Mandiant Restricted Stock that would be triggered solely as a result of the Closing. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that the continuation of your employment following the Closing as set forth in this offer letter, including the relocation described in Section 1, is not grounds for a resignation for “good reason,” “constructive termination,” “involuntary termination” or any such similar term (as may defined in your individual stock option, restricted stock, and/or other similar equity award agreements between you and Mandiant).

5. Severance & Change of Control Benefits. Upon your employment with FireEye, you will be designated as an officer as such term is used the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (a “Section 16 Officer”). As a Section 16 Officer, you are eligible for benefits in the Company’s Change of Control Severance Policy for Officers and your participation agreement thereunder (the “Severance Policy”). The Severance Policy is attached to this letter as Exhibit A. For clarity, the Severance Policy supersedes any right to change of control, equity acceleration (except as provided in Section 4(b) hereof) and/or severance-related benefits that you may currently have.

6. Insider Trading. FireEye’s insider trading policy applies to all of our employees, directors and consultants and our affiliates. The insider trading policy prohibits you from buying or selling shares when you have “inside information.” Inside information is material information about us that is not yet public but that a reasonable investor would consider important in deciding whether to buy or sell shares. You will be eligible to participate in any plan that is established to permit employees to automatically buy or sell shares during periods when they possess inside information.

7. Section 409A. The Company intends that all payments and benefits provided under this offer letter or otherwise are exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) so that none of the payments or benefits will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply or be exempt. In no event will the Company reimburse you for any taxes that may be imposed on you as a result of Section 409A. Each payment and benefit payable hereunder is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

8. Eligibility. On your first day of work you will be required to prove your eligibility for employment under the Immigration and Reform Control Act of 1986, as well as to sign and comply with the Company’s standard invention assignment and proprietary information agreement which requires, among other provisions, the assignment of patent rights to any invention made during your employment at the Company and non-disclosure of proprietary information. I have attached a copy of this agreement for your review.

9. At Will Employment. It is our desire that our association be long-lasting and mutually rewarding. You should, however, understand that all employees are employed “at will”, which means that each employee, as well as the Company, has the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason, with or without cause and your duties and responsibilities are subject to change at any time.

10. Other Activities. By signing and accepting this offer letter, you agree that as long as you are employed at FireEye, you will not consult for other companies or organizations, even if they are deemed as non-competitive to FireEye. Except as disclosed on Exhibit B hereto, any external consulting activities you undertake must be approved in writing by the CEO of the Company.

You agree that, during the term of your employment, you will not engage in any activity that would conflict or interfere with your obligations to the Company. You acknowledge that, during the course of your employment, you will receive and will be privy to confidential information and trade secrets of the Company. You further acknowledge that the Company has a legitimate interest in ensuring that such confidential information and trade secrets remain confidential and are not disclosed to third parties. After your termination of employment, the Company intends to retain you as a member of its technical advisory board for a period of 24 months (together with the term of your employment, this period is the “Restricted Period”). The ability to retain you on the technical advisory board through the Restricted Period is an important reason for the amounts paid to you by the Company during the term of your employment and after your employment during the Restricted Period. Because of the Company’s interest in protecting its confidential information and trade secrets, regardless of the reason for such termination, you agree that you will not, as an employee or otherwise, engage or participate in the development of any technologies, products or services relating to the Business for, on behalf of, or otherwise with any company or individual. For purposes of this provision, “Business” is defined as any business that researches, develops, manufactures, offers, sells, distributes, makes commercially available, provides or otherwise disposes of any product or service that competes with any products, services or offerings of FireEye and Mandiant at the time of the Closing or any product, service, or offering that you were directly researching, developing, selling, or supporting during your employment. This covenant is intended to avoid the actual or threatened misappropriation of the Company’s confidential and trade secret information and to preserve the value of the Company. You agree that this restriction is partially in exchange for the payment of compensation and benefits to you during the Restricted Period and partially in exchange for the compensation paid to you by the Company during the term of your employment. If, at any time during the Restricted Period, you breach the provisions of this paragraph, the Company will no longer be obligated to pay any remaining compensation or benefits outlined above. Further, you agree that if you use Company confidential or trade secret information to unfairly compete with the Company during the Restricted Period, the Company will suffer damages in an amount equivalent to the compensation and benefits paid to you during the Restricted Period, and you will be obligated to repay the sum of those amounts to the Company. In addition to the terms of this paragraph, you are bound by the provisions of your invention assignment and proprietary information agreement with the Company and the noncompetition agreement you entered into effective as of the Closing.

11. No Conflict. By signing and accepting this offer, you confirm that you have not entered into any agreement either written or oral in conflict with this offer letter or employment with Company and that you will not violate any agreement with or rights of any third party, or use or disclose any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property, when acting within the scope of your employment or otherwise on behalf of Company

12. Expiration and Contingency of Offer. This offer shall expire on December 30, 2013 and is contingent on the Closing, your signing the Company’s invention assignment and proprietary information agreement, eligibility for employment under the Immigration and Reform Control Act of 1986, and your successful completion of a background check. If you are not eligible for employment or do not pass the background check, this offer of employment will be rescinded. The Company reserves the right to obtain relevant background reports at any time after receipt of your authorization and, if you are hired or engaged by the Company, any time throughout your employment or contract period.

13. Indemnification. During your employment as a Section 16 Officer and during the Restricted Period while you are a member of the technical advisory board, the Company will indemnify you to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and by the Company’s by-laws; provided, however, that you will not be indemnified for any breach of your obligations under Section 10 of this letter. You will be covered by the Company’s directors & officers liability insurance policy on the same basis afforded other senior officers of the Company, including any “tail” coverage which may be provided under such policy in respect of any period after your employment and technical advisory board membership terminate.

14. Governing Law. This letter is governed by California law, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law; provided, however, that for the first six months following the Start Date, this letter shall be governed by Pennsylvania law, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law.

Please indicate your acceptance to the foregoing terms by signing this letter where indicated below and returning it to me. I am delighted that you will be joining our team. I believe you will make an outstanding asset and I am looking forward to working with you. If you have any questions, please give me a call.

AGREED TO AND ACCEPTED BY:

Exhibit A

Change of Control Severance Policy for Officers

(adopted and effective July 30, 2013)

This Change of Control Severance Policy for Officers (the “Policy”) is an “employee welfare benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). This document constitutes both the written instrument under which the Policy is maintained and the required summary plan description for the Policy.

Eligible Employee: With respect to the Change of Control Severance Benefits described in the following section, you are an eligible employee under this Policy (an “Eligible Employee”) if, as of immediately prior to the beginning of the Change of Control Period (as defined below) of FireEye, Inc. (the “Company”), (1) you are an employee at the Vice President or Senior Vice President level at grade 13 or above; and (2) you and the Company have executed a Participation Agreement (as defined below).

With respect to Severance Benefits Outside of the Change of Control Period described below, you are an Eligible Employee if, on the date that the Company terminates your employment other than for Cause, death or disability outside of the Change of Control Period (as defined below), (1) you are an employee at the Vice President or Senior Vice President level at grade 13 or above; and (2) you and the Company have executed a Participation Agreement.

Change of Control Severance Benefits: If you are an Eligible Employee for Change of Control Severance Benefits (as specified above), you will be eligible for severance benefits under this Policy if: (1) during the Change of Control Period, (2) your employment terminates as a result of an Involuntary Termination (a “COC Qualified Termination”). If, and only if, you are such an Eligible Employee and your employment terminates as a result of a COC Qualified Termination, you will be eligible to receive the applicable Equity Vesting, Cash Severance and COBRA Benefit described herein. All severance benefits under this Policy shall be subject to your compliance with the Release Requirement (as defined below).

Equity Vesting: Upon a COC Qualified Termination, subject to the Release Requirement, 100% of the then-unvested shares subject to each of your then-outstanding equity awards shall immediately vest and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, shall become exercisable (for avoidance of doubt, no more than 100% of the shares subject to the outstanding portion of an equity award may vest and, with respect to an option or stock appreciation right, become exercisable pursuant to this provision). For purposes of this paragraph, unvested performance-based awards will vest at the maximum level of achievement. Subject to any payment delay necessary to comply with Section 409A (as defined below), any restricted stock units, performance shares and/or performance units that vest under this paragraph will be settled on the 61st day following your Qualified Termination.

Cash Severance: Upon a COC Qualified Termination, subject to the Release Requirement, you will receive a lump-sum severance payment equal to (A) the pro-rata portion of your target bonus based on the number of days you had been employed with the Company (or its successor) during the fiscal year of the Qualified Termination (the “Pro-Rated Bonus”), plus (B) an amount of your Base Salary that would be paid for a period of twelve (12) months. Subject to any payment delay necessary to comply with Section 409A (as defined below), your severance payment will be paid in cash and in full on the 61st day following your Qualified Termination. If you die before all amounts have been paid, such unpaid amounts will be paid to your designated beneficiary, if living, or otherwise to your personal representative in a lump-sum payment (less any withholding taxes) as soon as possible following your death.

COBRA Benefit: Upon a COC Qualified Termination, subject to the Release Requirement, if you make a valid election under COBRA (as defined below) to continue your health coverage, the Company will for 12 months pay the cost of such continuation coverage for you and any eligible spouse or dependents that were covered under the Company’s health care plans immediately prior to the date of your eligible termination (“COBRA Benefit”). Notwithstanding the preceding, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide COBRA Benefit without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will instead provide you a taxable lump-sum payment in an amount equal to 12 months of the COBRA Benefit multiplied by the monthly COBRA premium that you would be required to pay to continue your group health coverage in effect on the date of termination of employment (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage). If the Company provides for a taxable cash payment in lieu of the COBRA Benefit, then such cash payment will be made regardless of whether you elect COBRA continuation coverage and such payment shall be made in full on the 61st day following your termination of employment, subject to the Release Requirement and the Section 409A paragraph.

Severance Benefits Outside of the Change of Control Period: If you are an Eligible Employee for Severance Benefits Outside of the Change of Control Period (as specified above), you will be eligible for severance benefits under this paragraph if (1) outside of the Change of Control Period, (2) the Company terminates your employment other than Cause, death or disability (a “Non-COC Qualified Termination”). If, and only if, you are such an Eligible Employee and your employment terminates as a result of a Non-COC Qualified Termination, then (x) for a Section 16 Officer (as defined below), you will be eligible to receive the Cash Severance and COBRA Benefit described above, except that the Cash Severance will not include the Pro-Rated Bonus; and (y) for an Eligible Employee other than a Section 16 Officer, you will be eligible to receive fifty percent (50%) of the Cash Severance and six (6) months of the COBRA Benefit described above, except that the Cash Severance will not include the Pro-Rated Bonus. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no Equity Vesting as a result of a Non-COC Qualified Termination. All severance benefits under this paragraph shall be subject to your compliance with the Release Requirement.

Release: The receipt of any severance payments or benefits pursuant to this Policy is subject to your signing and not revoking the Company’s then-standard separation agreement and release of claims (the “Release” and such requirement, the “Release Requirement”), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following your Qualified Termination (the “Release Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, you will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under this Policy. In no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the Policy until the Release actually becomes effective and irrevocable.

For purposes of this Policy, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Base Salary” means your annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to your Qualified Termination date or, if greater, at the level in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control.

“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

C. Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the 12 month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection, the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets: (i) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (ii) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (a) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock, (b) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (c) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company, or (d) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person.

No payment or benefits to be paid to you, if any, pursuant to this Policy or otherwise, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until you have a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. If, at the time of your termination of employment, you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A and the payment of the Deferred Payments will be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, which generally means that you will receive payment on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date that is 6 months and 1 day following your termination of employment. The Company reserves the right to amend the Policy as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Eligible Employee or any other individual, to comply with Section 409A the Code or to otherwise avoid income recognition under Section 409A prior to the actual payment of any benefits or imposition of any additional tax.

In no event will the Company reimburse you for any taxes that may be imposed on you as a result of Section 409A. Each payment and benefit payable hereunder is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

Parachute Payments.

Reduction of Severance Benefits. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, if any payment or benefit that an Eligible Employee would receive from the Company or any other party whether in connection with the provisions herein or otherwise (the “Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Best Results Amount. The “Best Results Amount” shall be either (x) the full amount of such Payment or (y) such lesser amount as would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the Eligible Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Best Results Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order: reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Eligible Employee’s stock awards unless the Eligible Employee elects in writing a different order for cancellation. The Eligible Employee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all personal tax liability that is incurred as a result of the payments and benefits received under this Policy, and the Eligible Employee will not be reimbursed by the Company for any such payments.

Determination of Excise Tax Liability. The Company shall select a professional services firm to make all of the determinations required to be made under these paragraphs relating to “Parachute Payments”. The Company shall request that firm provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Eligible Employee prior to the date on which the event that triggers the Payment occurs if administratively feasible, or subsequent to such date if events occur that result in parachute payments to the Eligible Employee at that time. For purposes of making the calculations required under these paragraphs relating to “Parachute Payments”, the firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith determinations concerning the application of the Code. The Company and the Eligible Employee shall furnish to the firm such information and documents as the firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under these paragraphs relating to “Parachute Payments”. The Company shall bear all costs the firm may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by these paragraphs relating to “Parachute Payments”. Any such determination by the firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Eligible Employee, and the Company shall have no liability to the Eligible Employee for the determinations of the firm.

Administration: The Policy will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board or its delegate (in each case, an “Administrator”). The Administrator will have full discretion to administer and interpret the Policy. Any decision made or other action taken by the Administrator with respect to the Policy, and any interpretation by the Administrator of any term or condition of the Policy, or any related document, will be conclusive and binding on all persons and be given the maximum possible deference allowed by law. The Administrator is the “named fiduciary” of the Policy for purposes of ERISA and will be subject to the fiduciary standards of ERISA when acting in such capacity.

Attorneys Fees: The Company and each Eligible Employee bear their own attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any disputes between them, except that if an Eligible Employee is successful in any such dispute, the Company agrees to pay Eligible Employee’s reasonable and documented legal fees associated with the dispute.

Exclusive Benefits: Except as may be set forth in your Participation Agreement, this Policy is intended to be the only agreement between you and the Company regarding any severance payments or benefits to be paid to you on account of a termination of employment whether unrelated to, concurrent with, or following, a Change of Control. Accordingly, by executing your Participation Agreement, you hereby forfeit and waive any rights to any severance or change of control benefits set forth in any employment agreement, offer letter and/or equity award agreement, except as set forth in this Policy and/or in your Participation Agreement.

Withholding: The Company is authorized to withhold from any payments or benefits all federal, state, local and taxes required to be withheld therefrom and any other required payroll deductions.

Amendment or Termination: The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Policy at any time, without advance notice to any Eligible Employee or other individual and without regard to the effect of the amendment or termination on any Eligible Employee or on any other individual. Notwithstanding the preceding, (a) any amendment to the Policy that causes an individual or group of individuals to cease to be an Eligible Employee will not be effective unless it is both approved by the Administrator and communicated to the affected individual(s) in writing at least 6 months prior to the effective date of the amendment or termination, and (b) no amendment or termination of the Policy shall be made within 24 months following a Change of Control to the extent that such amendment or reduction would reduce the benefits provided hereunder or impair an Eligible Employee’s eligibility under the Policy (unless the affected Eligible Employee consents to such amendment or termination). Any amendment or termination of the Policy will be in writing. Any action of the Company in amending or terminating the Policy will be taken in a non-fiduciary capacity.

Claims Procedure: Any Eligible Employee who believes he or she is entitled to any payment under the Policy may submit a claim in writing to the Administrator. If the claim is denied (in full or in part), the claimant will be provided a written notice explaining the specific reasons for the denial and referring to the provisions of the Policy on which the denial is based. The notice will also describe any additional information needed to support the claim and the Policy’s procedures for appealing the denial. The denial notice will be provided within 90 days after the claim is received. If special circumstances require an extension of time (up to 90 days), written notice of the extension will be given within the initial 90-day period. This notice of extension will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render its decision on the claim.

Appeal Procedure: If the claimant’s claim is denied, the claimant (or his or her authorized representative) may apply in writing to the Administrator for a review of the decision denying the claim. Review must be requested within 60 days following the date the claimant received the written notice of their claim denial or else the claimant loses the right to review. The claimant (or representative) then has the right to review and obtain copies of all documents and other information relevant to the claim, upon request and at no charge, and to submit issues and comments in writing. The Administrator will provide written notice of the decision on review within 60 days after it receives a review request. If additional time (up to 60 days) is needed to review the request, the claimant (or representative) will be given written notice of the reason for the delay. This notice of extension will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render its decision. If the claim is denied (in full or in part), the claimant will be provided a written notice explaining the specific reasons for the denial and referring to the provisions of the Policy on which the denial is based. The notice shall also include a statement that the claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents and other information relevant to the claim and a statement regarding the claimant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA.

Statement of ERISA Rights.

Policy Eligible Employees have certain rights and protections under ERISA:

They may examine (without charge) all Policy documents, including any amendments and copies of all documents filed with the U.S. Department of Labor, such as the Policy’s annual report (Internal Revenue Service Form 5500). These documents are available for review in the Company’s Human Resources Department.

They may obtain copies of all Policy documents and other Policy information upon written request to the Plan Administrator. A reasonable charge may be made for such copies.

In addition to creating rights for Eligible Employees, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the Policy. The people who operate the Policy (called “fiduciaries”) have a duty to do so prudently and in the interests of Eligible Employees. No one, including the Company or any other person, may fire or otherwise discriminate against an Eligible Employee in any way to prevent them from obtaining a benefit under the Policy or exercising rights under ERISA. If an Eligible Employee’s claim for a severance benefit is denied, in whole or in part, they must receive a written explanation of the reason for the denial. An Eligible Employee has the right to have the denial of their claim reviewed. (The claim review procedure is explained above.)

Under ERISA, there are steps Eligible Employees can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if an Eligible Employee requests materials and does not receive them within 30 days, they may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Administrator to provide the materials and to pay the Eligible Employee up to $110 a day until they receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If an Eligible Employee has a claim which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, he or she may file suit in a state or federal court. If it should happen that an Eligible Employee is discriminated against for asserting their rights, he or she may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or may file suit in a federal court.

In any case, the court will decide who will pay court costs and legal fees. If the Eligible Employee is successful, the court may order the person sued to pay these costs and fees. If the Eligible Employee loses, the court may order the Eligible Employee to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds that the claim is frivolous.

If an Eligible Employee has any questions regarding the Policy, please contact the Plan Administrator. If an Eligible Employee has any questions about this statement or about their rights under ERISA, they may contact the nearest area office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration (formerly the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration), U.S. Department of Labor, listed in the telephone directory, or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20210. An Eligible Employee may also obtain certain publications about their rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.
