(Specify):

Target Benefit Program. The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted this Target Benefit Program in place of the Greenbrier Leasing Company LLC Manager Owned Target Benefit Plan (the “Prior Target Benefit Plan”), which has been terminated. Benefits accrued by Participants under the Prior Target Benefit Plan are taken into account for purposes of determining allocation of contributions under this Target Benefit Program.

A.    Selection of Eligible Participants. The Compensation Committee may, from time-to-time select employees of the Company or its affiliates who shall be eligible to participate in the “Target Benefit Program” under the Plan. Eligible Participants may receive an allocation of discretionary Company target benefit contributions, which allocations shall be credited to a Target Benefit Program account on their behalf under the Plan. The employees who are eligible to participate in the Target Benefit Program under the Plan as of the Effective Date are: Mark J. Rittenbaum; Timothy A. Stuckey; Maren C. Malik; James T. Sharp; and Alejandro Centurion. Any additional employees shall begin participating in the Target Benefit Program on the date specified in their designation of eligibility. If no date is specified in the designation of eligibility, participation shall begin on the January 1 next following the date of the designation. Once an employee has been designated as eligible to participate in the Target Benefit Program, the designation of eligibility may not be revoked, and participation shall continue until the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and any affiliate (including any extended eligibility period that may be provided for in an individual agreement between the Company and the Participant).

B.    Target Benefit Contributions. The Target Benefit Program is designed to provide eligible Participants with a retirement benefit in an amount (the “Target Benefit Amount”) equal to 50% of a Participant’s Final Base Salary, payable in monthly installments over 180 months beginning on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. The foregoing notwithstanding, no amount or level of benefits is assured or guaranteed, and no provision of the Target Benefit Program is intended or shall be construed to create any entitlement to a specific amount or level of benefits or to impose any obligation on the Company to make contributions of any specified amount or level whatsoever. The Compensation Committee shall determine the amount of the Company’s annual Target Benefit Program contribution to the Plan, if any, in its sole discretion.    Participants’ benefits under the Target Benefit Program shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.

C.    Allocation of Contributions. Each Target Benefit Program contribution to the Plan shall be allocated among eligible Target Benefit Program Participants except those (i) who reached age 65 any time prior to or during the Plan Year in respect of which the contribution is made, (ii) whose employment with the Company and affiliates terminates during the Plan Year in respect of which the contribution is made, or (iii) for whom the amount of the Retirement Benefit plus benefits accrued under the Prior Target Benefit Plan is projected to equal or exceed the Target Benefit Amount. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Compensation Committee may designate a Participant as eligible to receive an allocation for a Plan Year notwithstanding the Participant having reached age 65 or terminated employment during the Plan Year, in its sole discretion. Each year for which the Company makes a Target Benefit Program contribution, the Administrator shall allocate the contribution among eligible Participants in such amounts as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion and using such actuarial methodology or methodologies as the Administrator deems appropriate, which amount may be zero, with the goal or providing each eligible Participant a Retirement Benefit of the Target Benefit Amount (taking into account the value of benefits accrued by the Participant under the Prior Target Benefit Plan as of the Effective Date, regardless of whether the Participant elects or has elected to take an early distribution of benefits under the Prior Target Benefit Plan).

The amount of each future annual allocation will equal the amount of the Participant’s average allocation for the prior three Plan Years of participation immediately preceding the year in which the Participant’s termination of employment occurred (or all Plan Years of participation, if less than three). A full year’s allocation shall be credited for both the year in which the Participant’s termination of employment occurs and the year in which the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date occurs. The interest rate used in determining present value shall be the interest rate applicable to the Company’s principal bank borrowings as of the effective date of the Change in Control or, if no such rate is readily determinable, at a rate equal to the current prime rate as listed in the Eastern print edition of the Wall Street Journal as of the effective date of the Change in Control transaction plus1.5%

ADDENDUM TO NONQUALIFIED

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

ADOPTION AGREEMENT

(Pour-Over Plan)

This Addendum supplements the Adoption Agreement executed by The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (“Employer”) in connection with the amendment and restatement of its Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) consisting of the Basic Plan Document, the Adoption Agreement, the Exhibits and documents to which they refer, and this Addendum, effective as of June 15, 2018.

This Addendum was initially adopted effective as of January 1, 2010.

BACKGROUND

 

  A. The Gunderson Savings Maximizer Plan (the “Gunderson Savings Plan”), a nonqualified deferred compensation plan originally adopted effective on September 1, 1994 by the predecessor of Gunderson LLC, a subsidiary of the Employer, has been amended and restated and merged with and into the Plan effective as of January 1, 2010.

 

  B. Amounts that were deferred and fully vested under the Gunderson Savings Plan as of December 31, 2004 were and are separately accounted for and “grandfathered” under the terms of the Gunderson Savings Plan in effect as of that date and are not subject to the requirements of IRC § 409A and implementing Treasury Regulations and other guidance (collectively, “§ 409A”). Such accounts are referred to in this Addendum as “Grandfathered Accounts.”

 

  C. Amounts that were deferred under the Gunderson Savings Plan on or after January 1, 2005 but prior to January 1, 2010 (“Existing Accounts”) are subject to the distribution provisions of the Gunderson Savings Plan in effect immediately prior to January 1, 2010.

 

  D. This Addendum incorporates into the Plan certain provisions of the Gunderson Savings Plan that apply only to the Grandfathered Accounts, and the distribution provisions that apply to Existing Accounts.

The Plan and Adoption Agreement are hereby supplemented as follows:

 

1. Grandfathered Accounts.

 

  1.1 “Haircut” Withdrawals. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant may at any time elect that a specified amount of his benefits from a Grandfathered Account be payable from the Plan. Such a withdrawal request shall be made in writing and delivered to the Administrative Committee. Of the amount so specified by the Participant, 10% shall be forfeited and the balance paid to the Participant in a lump sum as soon as practicable.

  1.2 Optional Forms of Benefit Distribution. A Participant may elect an optional form of benefit distribution from his Grandfathered Account at any time prior to the commencement of benefit payments. Such an election shall be made in writing and delivered to the Administrative Committee. A distribution of benefits from a Participant’s Grandfathered Account may be made in any alternate form which the Administrative Committee approves, including a lump sum payment, or semi-annual, quarterly or monthly installments of substantially equal amounts over a period of years, provided that such period does not extend beyond the life expectancy of the Participant.

 

  1.3 Normal Form of Benefit Distribution. Unless a Participant elects an optional form of benefit distribution from his Grandfathered Account, a Grandfathered Account will be paid in annual installments over the life expectancy of the Participant. The life expectancy of the Participant will be rounded to the nearest integer and based on Table V of Treasury Regulation § 1.79-9. Each annual installment is to be based on the number of remaining years of original life expectancy and the re-valued account balance remaining to the credit of the Participant.

 

2. Distribution of Benefits from Existing Accounts. Sections 4.01(e), 4.02(b)(iv), 4.02(A)(a), 4.02(A)(d), 4.02(B)(b) and 4.02(B)(d) of the Adoption Agreement shall incorporate the following provisions by reference:

Distribution of Benefits to Participant.

Unless a Participant elects a different payment election in accordance with Section 4.02.B of the Plan for his Existing Account, a Participant’s Existing Account will be paid in six installments which are considered a “single payment” and not a “series of separate payments.” The first installment will be the lesser of $1,000 or 100% of the Participant’s Existing Account balance and will be paid on the date that the Participant attains age 55. Installments two through six will be paid in approximately equal amounts annually for five years beginning after the later of the date of the Participant’s (i) Separation from Service, or (ii) attainment of age 60.

In the case of a Participant who first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan after attainment of age 54, his Existing Account balance will be paid in five annual installments of approximately equal amounts beginning after the later of the date of the Participant’s (i) Separation from Service, or (ii) attainment of age 60.

Distribution of Benefits to Beneficiary Due to Participant’s Pre-Retirement Death.

If a Participant dies prior to retirement and commencement of benefit payments and the total death benefit due to his Beneficiary from his Existing Account is less than $100,000, then one-half of the Participant’s Existing Account balance will be paid no later than December 31 of the calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death, and the remaining balance of his Existing Account will be paid no later than December 31 of the following calendar year.

If a Participant dies prior to retirement and commencement of benefit payments and the total death benefit due to his Beneficiary from his Existing Account is $100,000 or more, then the Participant’s Existing Account balance will be paid in five annual installments which are considered a “single payment” and not a “series of separate payments.” The first installment will be paid on the last day of the month that is 16 months after the Participant’s death, and each subsequent installment will be paid on the anniversary of such date. The first installment will equal one-fifth of the Existing Account balance; the second installment will equal one-fourth of the remaining Existing Account balance; the third installment will equal one-third of the remaining Existing Account balance; the fourth installment will equal one-half of the remaining Existing Account balance, and the fifth and final installment will equal the remaining Existing Account balance.

The Employer hereby agrees to the provisions of the Plan as supplemented in this Addendum to Adoption Agreement as of the date first written above.
