Company's Form of Separation Letter & Release

As of your Employment Separation Date, if you were otherwise eligible for a STAR award and you worked at least 28 days (4 calendar weeks) during the fiscal year, you will receive a pro-rated STAR award for the fiscal year. Your STAR award will be pro-rated by dividing the number of calendar days during the fiscal year from July 1 through your Employment Separation Date by 365. Your STAR award will be paid in cash in the September (but no later than September 15th) immediately following the end of the fiscal year in which your employment terminates with P&

P&G will agree to allow the “Rule of 70” to apply to you, but only for purposes of eligibility for retiree health care benefits under the Procter & Gamble Retiree Welfare Benefits Plan. The Rule of 70 is a special eligibility rule for retiree health care coverage (including medical, dental, and prescription drug benefits) under the Procter & Gamble Retiree Welfare Benefits Plan that only applies in specific circumstances. The Rule of 70 will apply to you with respect to health care coverage under the Procter & Gamble Retiree Welfare Benefits Plan as long as that Plan continues to exist and as long as the Rule of 70 continues as an eligibility rule for coverage under that Plan.

For purposes of this paragraph only, the parties agree that your employment with P&G ended on [EMPLOYMENT SEPARATION DATE], and that you were not terminated for cause. The parties also agree that at the time your employment with the Company ended, you were [##] years old and had [##] years of service with the Company, making your full years of age plus full years of service [TOTAL], which is greater than 70.

To avoid confusion, other than establishing that the Rule of 70 applies to you for purposes of retiree health care coverage under the Procter & Gamble Welfare Benefits Plan, you are subject to the same terms and conditions of the Procter & Gamble Welfare Benefits Plan, including but not limited to (1) coverage does not begin until you enrolls in the Plan, and once enrolled coverage is only prospective, (2) the monthly premiums required for coverage under the Plan must be paid on time to avoid coverage from terminating, (3) you will become ineligible for coverage under the Plan while you are employed by a direct competitor of P&G (as determined by P&G’s Chief Human Resources Officer) in an officer and/or director capacity (if you were at Band 5 or below at the time your employment with the Company ended) or in any capacity (if you were at Band 6 or above at the time your employment with the Company ended), and (4) the Company’s reservation of amendment and termination rights with respect to the Plan.

You hereby release P&G from any and all claims or rights you may have against P&G. The term “P&G” includes The Procter & Gamble Company and any of its present, former and future owners, parents, affiliates and subsidiaries, and its and their directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, benefit plans, trustees, fiduciaries, servants, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns. This release applies to claims about which you now know or may later discover, and includes but is not limited to: (1) claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA"), 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq.; (2) claims arising under any other federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance or other order that regulates the employment relationship and/or employee benefits; and (3) claims arising out of or relating in any way to your employment with P&G or the conclusion of that employment. This release does not apply to claims that may arise after the date you sign this letter or that may not be released under applicable law.
