Separation Agreement & Release between General Electric Company and Jeffrey Bornstein effective October 12, 2017

Separation Date and Consideration/Other Payments.

Separation Date. The Employee’s employment with the Company will end on December 31, 2017 (the “Separation Date”). Until the Separation Date, the Company will pay the Employee his regular salary and benefits and the Employee will continue to perform his regular duties or other duties as assigned by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Severance Pay. The Company will pay the Employee an amount equal to his regular salary on the Company’s regular pay dates until the earlier of the date he starts full-time employment with another employer or December 31, 2018 (this period is the “Severance Period”). During the Severance Period, the Employee must be available to provide reasonable transition assistance and answer questions related to his Company employment. The Employee agrees to notify the Company’s Senior Vice President, Human Resources as soon as he accepts full-time employment with another employer, and Employee agrees that any adjusted Severance Period due to new employment remains sufficient consideration for this Agreement. Severance Pay will not be considered as compensation under the Company’s benefit plans.

Paid Time Off. The Employee understands and agrees that the consideration provided in this Agreement includes any paid time off and that he will not receive any payment for unused or accrued paid time off of any kind.

Health Benefits. Following the Separation Date, the Employee can elect COBRA health care continuation coverage. If he timely does so, his cost for such coverage during the Severance Period will be the same amount as if he had remained actively employed, and such costs (premiums) will be deducted from any severance payments during the Severance Period. Following the Severance Period, the Employee will be solely responsible for the full cost of COBRA coverage, which the Employee must pay directly to the COBRA Administrator. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the Company’s regular COBRA rules and procedures will apply.

Life Insurance. Effective March 30, 2018, the Company will discontinue premium payments on behalf of the Employee under the Executive Life, Senior Executive Life and Leadership Life Insurance Plans.

Stock Options. Any stock option grants the Employee has not held for at least one year as of the Effective Date will be cancelled. Any other options that would otherwise vest in the same calendar year as the Separation Date and the next two calendar years will be vested as soon as practicable following the Separation Date. The Employee can exercise all vested options until the earlier of their expiration date(s) or the end of the second calendar year following the Separation Date. If the Employee dies before the date a vested option will expire, the option will expire on the earlier of two years after death or the original expiration date.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). Any RSU grants the Employee has not held for at least one year as of the Effective Date will be cancelled. The restrictions on any other RSUs that would normally lapse in the same calendar year as the Separation Date or during the next two calendar years will lapse (i.e., those RSUs will be vested) as soon as practicable following the Separation Date.

Performance Stock Units (PSUs). Any PSU grants the Employee has not held for at least one year as of the Effective Date will be cancelled. The restrictions on any other outstanding PSUs will lapse contingent upon satisfying the performance conditions and other provisions set forth in such PSUs, and to the extent earned, will be payable in accordance with normal Company procedures.

Executive Deferred Salary Plans. Payments from any Executive Deferred Salary Plan in which the Employee participated will be made after the Separation Date in accordance with the rules of the Plan.

If the Employee has previously copied, transferred or taken Confidential Information, he will tell the Company, permit the Company to retrieve such information in a forensically sound manner, and allow and/or assist the Company, or its designee, to permanently delete the data from his personal computer or other storage.

Non-Solicitation. Employee agrees that up until the Separation Date and continuing for one year (12 months) following that date, he will not, without prior written approval from the Company’s Senior Vice-President, Human Resources: (a) directly or indirectly solicit or encourage any person who is an employee of the Company to terminate his or her employment relationship with, or accept any other employment outside of, the Company; (b) directly hire, or recommend or cause to be hired by an entity for which the Employee works, any person who is, or was within twelve (12) months before or after the Separation Date, an employee of the Company; or (c) provide any non-public information regarding an employee of the Company to any external person in connection with employment outside the Company, including, but not limited to, recruiters and prospective employers.

Employee acknowledges and agrees that any material breach by him of the obligations under this Agreement, if such breach is not cured within 10 days of the Company providing notice to him of such breach, inevitably would cause substantial and irreparable damage to the

Severability of Provisions. If a court or arbitrator holds that any provision in this Agreement is legally invalid or unenforceable, and cannot be modified to be enforceable, the affected provision will be stricken from the Agreement and the remaining terms of the Agreement and its enforceability shall remain unaffected.

Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. This Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (and any related guidance issued by the IRS or the Treasury Department), so as to avoid the imposition of any additional taxes, penalties or interest under those rules. Accordingly, the Company will modify this Agreement to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of any such additional taxes, penalties or interest. In the unlikely event that this need arises, the Company will take reasonable efforts to provide advance notice to the Employee. All payments under this Agreement will be delayed to the extent necessary to comply with the rules in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) (generally requiring a delay of six months after separation from service for certain payments made to top-50 officers determined in accordance with Company rules).

Benefits Plans. The Company reserves the right to terminate, amend, suspend, replace or modify any of its benefit plans and compensation programs at any time and for any reason, and the Employee will be subject to any such termination, amendment, suspension, replacement, or modification. If a plan or program is terminated, the Employee will not receive any further benefits under that plan/program, other than payment for benefits for services or coverages incurred before it was terminated. In addition, to the extent any of the provisions in this Agreement are inconsistent with the terms and conditions of any Plan document, Award Agreement or Grant Agreement, the provisions in those documents shall be controlling. This paragraph shall not alter any vested benefits to which the Employee may be entitled under the terms of the GE Pension Plan and/or GE Retirement Savings Plan.
