WHEREAS, Sempra and the Executive are currently parties to that certain Sempra Energy Severance Pay Agreement dated as of January 1, 2023 (the “Severance Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Sempra and the Executive desire to extend the period for which the Severance Agreement may be operative;

NOW THEREFORE, the Severance Agreement is hereby amended in the following particulars, all effective as of the Amendment Effective Date:

“‘Mandatory Retirement’ means termination of employment at the attainment of age 67 and otherwise pursuant to the Company’s mandatory retirement policy.”
3.Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
