Effective as of February 2, 2016, General Motors LLC amends and restates the General Motors Executive Severance Program for Executive Employees in the United States, renaming the Program the General Motors LLC U.S. Executive Severance Program. With respect to any individual who separated from the Employer prior to the effective date of this amended and restated Program, such individual will continue to be bound by the terms of their existing separation arrangement, if any, and such individual will have no right or claim to separation pay under this amended and restated Program.

ELIGIBILITY & PARTICIPATION

4.1 Eligibility and Participation. Executives with one or more years of service who are working in the United States or who are U.S.-based executives working for the Employer outside of the United States (e.g., ISP assignments) are eligible to participate in the Program. In accordance with the terms of this Program, the Company may designate executives either individually or as a class of employees as eligible to receive Separation Pay under the Program.

An Executive will neither be entitled to participate in the Program nor to receive Separation Pay if the Executive is subject to an individual agreement with the Company or its Subsidiaries, including the Employer, that provides for post-employment separation pay or benefits. For purposes of clarification only, participation in Company or Employer-sponsored executive compensation or benefit plans with a severance or change in control provision, such as the General Motors Long-Term Incentive Plan or the General Motors Executive Retirement Plan, by itself will not preclude an Executive from participation in this Program.

4.2 Duration of Participation. Once an Executive becomes a Participant in the Program, subject to the other terms and conditions of the Program, the Executive will remain a Participant in the Program until the first to occur of the following:

6

Subject to Sections 4.3 and 5.6 and the terms of an applicable Waiver and Release, the Company will not take action to reduce or eliminate Separation Pay once a Participant has been separated under this Program and becomes eligible for or commences receipt of Separation Pay, without the Participant’s written consent. In no event will any Participant in the Program during the six-month period prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control be eliminated from participation during that period unless the Employer reasonably demonstrates that the elimination (a) was not at the request of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control, or (b) otherwise arose in connection with the Employer’s ordinary operation of its business and without regard to the Change in Control which was threatened or proposed. Other than in the event of the Participant’s voluntary Termination of Employment other than for Good Reason following a Change in Control, no Participant in the Program on the day immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control can be eliminated from participation in the Program during the 24-month period commencing on the date of the Change in Control without the Participant’s consent.

4.3 Employees Offered Other Comparable Employment. If leadership extends continuing employment opportunities with the Company or its Subsidiaries, including the Employer, to a Participant who is eligible for Separation Pay under Section 5.1.1 at the same or at a comparable employment grade or level and at a level of compensation and benefits that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided in the Participant’s prior role, the Participant is expected to accept such offer of employment. Failure to accept such offer of employment will result in the affected Participant being ineligible for any further Separation Pay under this Program.

ARTICLE V

SEPARATION BENEFITS

A Participant may be eligible for the Separation Pay and benefits described herein in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Employment under certain circumstances, including as a result of a Change in Control.

5.1 Separation Pay.

5.1.1 Position Elimination and Mutually Agreed Separations Other than Following a Change in Control. If the Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Employer due to the elimination of the Participant’s role with the Employer as a result of a reduction in force, a reorganization or a staffing reduction, or if the Employer and the Participant mutually agree to the Participant’s Termination of Employment on terms satisfactory to the Employer, the Employer shall pay to the Participant in accordance with Section 5.3, a single payment in cash equal to (1) the specified multiple below times the Participant’s annual base salary, plus (2) the specified multiple below times the Participant’s annual target bonus amount, plus (3) the specified healthcare equivalent payment multiple below times the COBRA cost for the coverage level as most recently in effect for the Participant. The Employer shall also pay the Equity Equivalent amount identified below at or as soon as practicable following the time that the applicable equity vesting would occur had the Participant remained employed by the Employer during the 12 months following the Termination Date. The Participant will also receive 12 months of outplacement assistance.

7

5.1.2 Termination During the Change in Control Period. With respect to any Participant, if, during the Change in Control Period, the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company (or its successor) or its Subsidiaries, including the Employer for any reason other than Cause, or if the Participant voluntarily terminates their employment for Good Reason, the Employer shall pay to the Participant in accordance with Section 5.3(e), a single payment in cash equal to (1) the specified multiple below times the Participant’s annual base salary, plus (2) the specified multiple below times the Participant’s annual target bonus amount, plus (3) the specified healthcare equivalent payment multiple below times the COBRA cost for the coverage level as most recently in effect for the Participant.

5.1.3 Termination Prior to a Change in Control. With respect to any Participant, if the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Employer without Cause during the six-month period immediately prior to the date of a Change in Control, and the Participant is not otherwise

8

eligible for Separation Pay under Section 5.1.1 or did not otherwise enter into an agreement with the Employer providing for the payment of separation pay following Termination of Employment, the Participant shall be entitled to the same Separation Pay as the Participant would have received pursuant to Section 5.1.2 above had such termination occurred during the Change in Control Period, unless the Employer reasonably demonstrates that the termination (a) was not at the request of a third party who indicated an intention or who had taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control, or (b) otherwise arose in connection with the Employer’s ordinary operation of its business and without regard to the Change in Control which was threatened or proposed.

5.2 Benefits Continuation. At the time of a Participant’s Termination of Employment, the Participant shall be eligible to enroll in healthcare continuation coverage in accordance with COBRA, or other applicable equivalent, and provision of Separation Pay attributable to the healthcare equivalent payment multiple will not impact the Participant’s eligibility to enroll in healthcare continuation coverage.

5.3 Separation Pay Conditions. The receipt of payments as set forth under Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and Section 5.1.3 above is subject to the following conditions:

(a) In exchange for the Separation Pay described herein, Participant shall be required to execute and deliver to Employer a Waiver and Release, unless such requirement is waived by the Company or it Subsidiaries, including the Employer. The Employer shall provide a form for such Waiver and Release to the Participant within 30 days following the Termination Date.

(b) The Participant shall remain in compliance with all Restrictive Covenants required of Participant as a condition of receipt of Separation Pay;

(c) The Participant’s Termination of Employment under this Agreement constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code with the Employer and all persons with whom the Employer would be considered a single employer under Sections 414(b) and (c) of the Code.

(d) If the Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and as determined under the Employer’s policy for determining specified employees) on the Participant’s Termination Date, and the Participant is entitled to a payment under this Program that is required to be delayed pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then such payment, shall not be paid or provided (or begin to be paid or provided) until the first business day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Termination Date in the case of a termination covered by Section 5.1. or Section 5.1.2, or the first business day of the seventh month following the Change in Control in the case of a termination covered by Section 5.1.3.

(e) Payment of amounts owing under this Agreement shall commence or be made on the following dates (or if not a business day, on the business day

9

immediately following): (i) if the Participant is a “specified employee” as described in Section 5.3(d), on the date specified in Section 5.3(d); (ii) if the Participant is not a specified employee, and the Employer has requested a Waiver and Release, within 30 days following the date such Waiver and Release is effective as provided in Section 5.3(a) or the later Termination Date; and (iii) if the Participant is not a specified employee and the Employer has not requested a Waiver and Release, on or around the 60^th day following the Termination Date, in the case of a payment due under Section 5.1.1 or 5.1.2, or on or around the 60^th day following the effective date of the Change in Control, in the case of a payment due under Section 5.1.3. For Participants who are terminated under Section 5.3(e)(ii) above on and after November 15 of a particular year and for Participants who are terminated under Section 5.3(e)(iii) above on and after November 1 of a particular year, payment will be made at the latter of the second pay period in January or as soon as practicable following the date of the expiration of the review and revocation period under an applicable Waiver and Release, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such termination occurred.

5.4 Payments Treated as Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Program or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, if any of the payments provided or to be provided by the Employer or its affiliates to the Participant or for the Participant’s benefit pursuant to the terms of this Program or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) are determined to be parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, with the effect that Participant is or would be liable for the payment of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or any similar tax imposed by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then the Compensation Committee shall determine the appropriate treatment of payments under this Program in its sole discretion consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code that produces the most advantageous economic outcome for the Participant, and its determination shall be final and binding on the Participant. The Employer shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Participant not later than 60 days following to the Termination Date, in the case of payments due under Section 5.1.1 or Section 5.1.2, or 60 days following the effective date of the Change in Control, in the case of payments due under Section 5.1.3.

5.5 Additional Payments Following a Reduction. If the Participant is required by the IRS or another agency to make a payment or payments of Excise Tax with respect to such Covered Payments, the Participant shall remain solely responsible for such payment and the Employer shall bear no responsibility for such Excise Tax.

5.6 No Mitigation Other than Re-Employment. Subject to Section 4.3 above, the Participant shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Program by seeking other employment or otherwise and no payment hereunder shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation provided to the Participant in any subsequent employment. However, if a Participant commences re-employment with the Employer following a Termination of Employment described in Section 5.1.1, and continues to be eligible for Separation Pay in accordance with Section 5.1.1, the portion of Separation Pay attributable to the base salary multiple, short-term incentive plan target multiple, and healthcare equivalent

10

payment multiple will cease upon Participant’s reemployment and Participant will be required to repay a prorated portion of Separation Pay based on the ratio of the number of days remaining in the 12-month period commencing on Participant’s Termination Date to 365. For example, a Participant who is re-employed following 200 days of separation will be required to repay 45.2% (165/365) of the applicable Separation Pay received.

5.7 Exclusion from Annual and Long-Term Incentive Program Resulting from Separation Agreement. A Termination of Employment resulting in a Participant’s receipt of Separation Pay under Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 or 5.1.3 of the Program constitutes a “termination of service pursuant to an approved separation agreement” for purposes of the General Motors Short-Term Incentive Plan. In no case is a Participant eligible to receive Separation Pay under Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 or 5.1.3 of the Program and payment of a full-year or part-year annual incentive payment. With respect to the General Motors Long-Term Incentive Plan, a Termination of Employment resulting in a Participant’s receipt of Separation Pay under Section 5.1.1 of the Program constitutes a “termination of service pursuant to an approved separation agreement”. A Termination of Employment under Section 5.1.2 or 5.1.3 that results in the receipt of Separation Pay shall not constitute a “termination of service pursuant to an approved separation agreement” under the General Motors Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Program, payments made under

12

the Program may be subject to any recoupment, recovery or claw-back policy (including any recoupment policy relating to performance-based compensation adopted by the Board) as in effect or that was binding on the Executive immediately prior to a Change in Control Period.

It is the intention of the Employer that if any provision of this Program is susceptible of two or more constructions, one of which would render the provision enforceable and other or others of which would render the provision unenforceable, then the provision shall have the meaning which renders it enforceable.

8.9 Number and Gender. When used in this Program, the number and gender of each pronoun shall be construed to be such number and gender as the context, circumstances or its antecedent may require.

8.10 Effect on Other Plans, Agreements and Benefits. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, any benefit or compensation to which a Participant is or may be entitled under any agreement between the Participant and the Company and its Subsidiaries, including the Employer, or any plan, program or arrangement maintained by such entity in which Participant participates or participated shall not be modified or lessened in any way by operation of the Program, but shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan, program or arrangement. Nothing in this Program is intended to guarantee that the benefit levels or costs will remain unchanged in the future under any plan, program or arrangement of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including the Employer, and the applicable plan sponsor reserves the right to amend, modify, suspend, terminate or discontinue any other plan, program or arrangement maintained by such plan sponsor in accordance with the terms of that plan, program or arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, including the eligibility provisions of Section 4.1, a Participant’s eligibility for severance under this Program is mutually exclusive with severance available to the Participant through any plan, program, or arrangement between the Participant or the Company or its Subsidiaries and the Participant, or pursuant to local statute. If a Participant is entitled to severance under this Program and any other arrangement between the Participant and the Employer or the Company or its Subsidiaries, or pursuant to the application of local statute, and the Participant is not otherwise excluded from participation in this Program pursuant to Section 4.1, or otherwise, the Participant will receive the greater of the severance under this Program or the other applicable severance. Any severance to which Participant becomes entitled will first be paid under this Program upon the requirement that Participant waive their claim to the other severance; provided, however, that if Participant’s entitlement to such other severance cannot be waived, the amount of Separation Pay hereunder will be offset by the amount of such other required severance, but not below zero. Upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment resulting in Separation Pay in accordance with Section 5.1.2 or Section 5.1.3, all non-competion arrangements applicable to a Participant, either pursuant to a Restrictive Covenant or otherwise, shall no longer apply to the Participant, and the Employer (or its successor) shall enter into a written agreement with the terminated Participant evidencing this point. For purposes of clarification, non-solicitation, non-disclosure, confidentiality and other provisions of applicable restrictive covenants will continue to apply to the Participant.

8.11 Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that any amounts payable under this Program shall comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent applicable, and this Program will be

interpreted, administered and operated accordingly. Any payments (including reimbursements) under this Program that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. Neither the Employer nor the Compensation Committee or the Board shall have any liability to the Executive with respect to any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

8.12 Application of ERISA. The Program is intended to be an ERISA welfare benefit plan, and this Program document is intended to constitute the plan document and the summary plan description for the Program.

8.13 Claims for Benefits. If you are a Participant in the Program and become eligible to receive Separation Pay under the Program, you will receive the amounts set forth under Section 5 of the Program for which you are entitled, provided you otherwise satisfy the conditions of the Program for the receipt of such Separation Pay. If you feel you have not been provided with all benefits to which you are entitled under the Program, you may file a written claim with the Global Director of Executive Compensation, who is the “Claims Administrator”, with respect to your rights to receive benefits from the Program. You will be informed of the Claims Administrator’s decision with respect to your claim within 90 days after it is filed. Under special circumstances, the Claims Administrator may require an additional period of not more than 90 days to review your claim. If this occurs, you will be notified in writing as to the length of the extension, the reason for the extension, and any other information needed in order to process your claim.

If your claim is denied, in whole or in part, you will be notified in writing of the specific reason for the denial, the exact Program provision on which the decision was based, what additional material or information is relevant to your claim, and what procedure you should follow to get your claim reviewed again. If you are not notified within the 90-day (or 180-day, if so extended) period, you may consider your claim to be denied. In either case, you then have 60 days to appeal the decision to the Senior Vice President of Human Resources, who is the “Appeal Administrator”.

Your appeal must be submitted in writing. You may submit a written statement of issues and comments. A decision as to your appeal will be made within 60 days after the appeal is received. Under special circumstances, the Appeal Administrator may require an additional period of not more than 60 days to review your appeal. If this occurs, you will be notified in writing as to the length of the extension, not to exceed 120 days from the day on which your appeal was received.

If your appeal is denied, in whole or in part, you will be notified in writing of the specific reason for the denial and the exact Program provision on which the decision was based. The decision on your appeal will be final and binding on all parties and persons affected thereby. If you are not notified within the 60-day (or 120-day, if extended) period you may consider your appeal as denied.
