THEREFORE, Executive and the Company agree as follows:
1.Date of Retirement. Executive’s employment with the Company and all affiliated companies shall end effective as of January 2, 2020 (the “Retirement Date”), unless sooner terminated as provided herein. The end of Executive’s employment shall constitute a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the official guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”) as of the Retirement Date.

(b) During the Employment Term, Executive will continue to receive his base salary in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, payable in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he shall not be entitled to any bonus or other compensation with respect to any period after the Employment Term except as described herein, and Executive hereby waives any and all rights to any such additional bonus or other compensation.

(b)Release of ADEA Claims. The Released Claims include any claims Executive may have against any of the Released Parties under the ADEA. Executive has twenty one (21) calendar days to consider this Agreement and decide whether to sign it (the “Consideration Period”). If Executive decides to sign this Agreement before the expiration of the Consideration Period, which is solely Executive’s choice, Executive represents that his decision is knowing and voluntary. Executive agrees that any revisions made to this Agreement after it was initially delivered to Executive, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the Consideration Period. Company advises Executive to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement.

Any such notice of revocation must be delivered to the Company at the foregoing address in a manner calculated to ensure receipt prior to 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the Effective Date. If Executive revokes this Agreement, Executive will not be entitled to the benefits provided herein.
(d)Unknown Claims. Executive understands that the Released Claims may be known or unknown to him at the time of his execution of this Agreement. It is Executive’s knowing and voluntary intent, even though he recognizes that someday he might learn that some or all of the facts he currently believes to be true are untrue and even though he might then regret having signed this Agreement. Nevertheless, Executive is assuming that risk and Executive agrees that this Agreement shall remain effective in all respects in any such case. Executive expressly waives all rights he might have under any law that is intended to protect Executive from waiving unknown claims. Executive understands the significance of doing so.

(c)Executive represents and warrants to the Released Parties that Executive has not suffered any discrimination on account of his age, sex, race, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, or any other protected status, and none of these ever has been an adverse factor used against Executive by any Released Party. Executive has not suffered any job-related wrongs or injuries for which he might still be entitled to compensation or relief, such as an injury for which Executive might receive a workers’ compensation award in the future. Executive has properly reported all hours that he has worked and has already been paid all wages, overtime, commissions, compensation, benefits, and other amounts that the Company or any Released Party has ever owed him, except for unpaid amounts or benefits expressly payable under the terms of this Agreement.

(c)It is the intention of both Executive and the Company that the benefits and rights to which Executive is entitled pursuant to this Agreement are exempt from or comply with Section 409A, to the extent that the requirements of Section 409A are applicable thereto, and the



provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with that intention. If Executive or the Company believe, at any time, that any such benefit or right that is subject to Section 409A does not so comply, Executive or the Company shall promptly advise the other and shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to amend the terms of such benefits and rights such that they comply with Section 409A (with the most limited possible economic effect on Executive and the Company).

22.Further Pursuit of Claims Under Company EDR Program. Executive understands that by signing this Agreement Executive is waiving any rights pursuant to the Company’s Employee Dispute Resolution Program (“EDR”) to challenge or seek reconsideration of any employment action occurring prior to the date Executive executes this Agreement or to seek reconsideration of the terms of this Agreement.

ATTACHMENT 1
SEPARATION WAIVER AND RELEASE
This Separation Waiver and Release (this “Release”) is provided by, James J. Barber, Jr (“Executive”), pursuant to the Transition Agreement, dated October 21, 2019 by and between United Parcel Service, Inc. (the “Company”) and Executive (the “Transition Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Transition Agreement.
1.Conditions Precedent. Executive acknowledges and agrees that his ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of the Transition Agreement and this Release is a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to provide the Transition Payment.
2.Executive Released Claims.
(a)For and in consideration of the Transition Payment, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Executive hereby fully and completely releases, acquits and forever discharges the Company, its affiliates and related entities, and each of their respective current and former officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, employee benefit plans and fiduciaries, insurers, attorneys, agents, trustees, professional employer organizations, successors and assigns (each a “Released Party” and collectively, the “Released Parties”), collectively, separately, and severally, of and from any and all claims, demands, damages, causes of action, debts, liabilities, controversies, judgments, and suits of every kind and nature whatsoever, known or unknown, which Executive has had, now has, or may have against the Released Parties (or any of them) from the beginning of time through the date Executive signs this Release, with the exception of any claims that cannot legally be waived by private agreement (the claims released in this Release are collectively referred to as the “Released Claims”). The Released Claims include: (i) all claims arising under any federal, state or local statute or ordinance, constitutional provision, public policy or common law, including all claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (the “ADEA”), the Equal Pay Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, COBRA, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Georgia Equal Pay Act, the Georgia Prohibition of Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Georgia Equal Employment for People with Disabilities Code, all as amended; (ii) all claims arising under discrimination laws, whistleblower laws and laws relating to violation of public policy, retaliation, or interference with legal rights; (iii) all claims for compensation of any type whatsoever, including but not limited to claims for wages, bonuses, commissions, incentive compensation, equity, vacation, PTO and severance; (iv) all claims arising under tort, contract and/or quasi-contract law; (v) all claims for monetary or equitable relief, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, back pay, front pay, reinstatement, experts’ fees, medical fees or expenses, costs and disbursements; and (vi) all claims, counterclaims, demands, debts, actions, causes of action, suits, expenses, costs, attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, damages, indemnities, obligations and/or liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, in law or in equity, which are related to, or directly or indirectly arise from, the assessment against, or any other application or possible application to, Executive



of any penalties or additional tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, related in any way to the payments and benefits provided herein. Executive hereby waives any right to seek or recover any individual relief (including any money damages, reinstatement, or other relief) in connection with any of the Released Claims through any charge, complaint, lawsuit, or other proceeding, whether commenced or maintained by Executive or by any other person or entity, with the exception of any right to seek an award pursuant to Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(b)Release of ADEA Claims. The Released Claims include any claims Executive may have against any of the Released Parties under the ADEA. Executive has twenty one (21) calendar days to consider this Release and decide whether to sign it (the “Consideration Period”). If Executive decides to sign this Release before the expiration of the Consideration Period, which is solely Executive’s choice, Executive represents that his decision is knowing and voluntary. Executive agrees that any revisions made to this Release after it was initially delivered to Executive, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the Consideration Period. Company advises Executive to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Release.
(c)Right to Revoke. Executive may revoke this Release within seven (7) calendar days after Executive has signed it. This Release will not become effective or enforceable until the eighth (8th) calendar day after Executive has signed this Release without having revoked it (the “Effective Date”). If Executive chooses to revoke this Release, Executive must notify the Company in writing addressed to the Company’s designated agent for this purpose:
Norman M. Brothers Jr.
Senior Vice President, General Counsel
and Corporate Secretary
UPS
55 Glenlake Parkway NE
Atlanta, Georgia 30328

Any such notice of revocation must be delivered to the Company at the foregoing address in a manner calculated to ensure receipt prior to 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the Effective Date. If Executive revokes this Release, Executive will not be entitled to the Transition Payment.
(d)Unknown Claims. Executive understands that the Released Claims may be known or unknown to him at the time of his execution of this Release. It is Executive’s knowing and voluntary intent, even though he recognizes that someday he might learn that some or all of the facts he currently believes to be true are untrue and even though he might then regret having signed this Release. Nevertheless, Executive is assuming that risk and Executive agrees that this Release shall remain effective in all respects in any such case. Executive expressly waives all rights he might have under any law that is intended to protect Executive from waiving unknown claims. Executive understands the significance of doing so.
3.Covenant Not to Sue. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7 below, Executive promises that he will not file, instigate or participate in any proceeding against any of the Released Parties relating to any of the Released Claims. In the event Executive breaches the covenant contained in this Section 3, Executive agrees to indemnify the



Released Parties for all damages and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any Released Parties in defending, participating in or investigating any matter or proceeding covered by this Section 3.
4.Excluded Claims. The Released Claims do not release or impair (a) the Company’s promises and obligations under the Transition Agreement; (b) any rights under any grants of stock options, restricted stock, or other forms of equity that may have been provided to Executive during his employment (such grants to be governed by the applicable incentive plan and grant agreement(s) and the Transition Agreement); (c) any rights under applicable workers compensation laws; (d) any vested rights under a qualified retirement plan; (e) any other claims that cannot lawfully be released; (f) his ability to respond truthfully to a valid subpoena issued by, file a charge with, or participate in any investigation conducted by, a governmental agency; (g) any claims arising after the date of his execution of this Release; (h) any rights to insurance benefits under any Directors & Officers liability insurance policy maintained by the Company; or (i) any right that the Executive may have to indemnification or insurance coverage under the Transition Agreement, the Company’s organizational documents, or any directors and officers insurance policy.
5.Continuing Effectiveness of Transition Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Transition Agreement, and specifically Sections 44(d), 6, 9, 11, and 14 of the Transition Agreement, shall survive and continue in full force and effect following the date of termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to its terms.
6.Enforcement. Executive acknowledges that any breach of any covenants set forth in this Release or Sections 6, 9, 11, or 14 of the Transition Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the Company, the exact amount of which would be difficult to determine, and that the remedies at law for any such breach would be inadequate. Accordingly, Executive agrees that if he breaches or threatens to breach any of such covenants, the Company will be entitled to (a) cease or withhold payment to Executive of the Transition Payment, and Executive shall promptly repay to the Company 90% of any amounts previously received (with the remaining 10% serving as consideration for the release of claims and other covenants set forth in this Release) and (b) obtain specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief, without posting bond or other security, to enforce or prevent any further violation of such covenants. In any action for injunctive relief, the prevailing party will be entitled to collect reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs from the non-prevailing party.
7.Permitted Disclosures. Nothing contained in this Release limits Executive’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (collectively, “Government Agencies”), or prevents Executive from providing truthful testimony in response to a lawfully issued subpoena or court order. Further, this Release does not limit Executive’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. Executive is hereby notified that under the Defend Trade Secrets Act: (a) no individual will be held criminally or civilly liable under federal or state trade secret law for disclosure of a trade secret (as defined in the Economic Espionage Act) that is: (i) made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public; and (b) an individual who pursues a lawsuit for



retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by court order.
8.Executive’s Representations. Executive represents and warrants that (a) he has been properly paid for all hours worked and he has received all wages, bonuses, vacation pay, expense reimbursements and any other sums due from the Company; (b) he has returned all of the Company’s property in his possession or control and he has permanently deleted any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets stored on any networks, computers or information storage devices that are not owned by the Company but within his possession or control; (c) he has suffered no harassment, retaliation, employment discrimination, or work-related injury or illness while employed by the Company; (d) he is not aware of any activity by the Company or any other Released Party that he believes to be unlawful or potentially unlawful; (e) he has filed no claim, charge, suit or other action or proceeding against the Company or any other Released Party; and (f) he has not sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of any of the claims, demands, obligations, or causes of action released in this Release. By signing this Release Executive acknowledges that Executive has read this Release carefully and understands all of its terms. Further, Executive acknowledges that Executive is entering into this Release voluntarily and of his own free will. In signing this Release, Executive acknowledges that Executive has not relied on any statements or explanations made by anyone associated with or employed by the Company.
9.Further Pursuit of Claims Under Company EDR Program. Executive understands that by signing this Release he is waiving any rights pursuant to the Company’s Employee Dispute Resolution Program (“EDR”) to challenge or seek reconsideration of any employment action or to seek reconsideration of the terms of this Release.
10.Tender Back Provision. Should Executive ever attempt to challenge the terms of this Release, attempt to obtain an order declaring this Release to be null and void, or institute litigation against any Released Party based upon a Released Claim which is covered by this Release, Executive will, as a condition precedent to such action, repay to the Company 90% of any amounts previously received of the Transition Payment (with the remaining 10% serving as consideration for the release of claims and other covenants set forth in this Release). Furthermore, if Executive does not prevail in an action to challenge this Release, to obtain an order declaring this Release to be null and void, or in any action against the Company or any other Released Party based upon a Released Claim which is covered by this Release, Executive shall pay to the Company and/or the appropriate Released Party all their costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in their defense of Executive’s action. It is understood and agreed by Executive and the Company, however, that Executive shall not be required to repay 90% of the Transition Payment paid to him under the terms of the Transition Agreement or pay the Company and/or the appropriate Released Party all their costs and attorneys' fees incurred in their defense of Executive’s action (except those attorneys' fees or costs specifically authorized under federal or state law) in the event that Executive seeks to challenge his waiver of claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act or Section 510 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), 29 U.S.C. § 1140.
11.General Provisions. The Released Parties expressly deny that they have any liability to the Executive, and this Release is not to be construed as an admission of any such liability. This Release is to be construed under the laws of the State of Georgia. This Release constitutes the entire agreement between the Executive and the Company with respect to the issues addressed in this



Release. Both parties represent that they are not relying on any other agreements or oral representations not fully expressed in this Release. This Release may not be modified except in writing signed by the Executive and an authorized Company representative. The headings in this Release are for reference only, and do not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Release. As used herein, the phrase “including” means “including, but not limited to” in each instance. “Or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or.” As used herein, the plural includes the singular, and the singular includes the plural: Use of the plural, or the singular, as the case may be, throughout this Release shall be construed to give this Release a broader meaning and scope, rather than a narrower one. Should any part of this Release be found to be void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or Government Agency, such determination will not affect the remainder of this Release. A facsimile or scanned (e.g., .PDF, .GIF, etc.) signature shall be deemed to be an original.
If Executive wishes to accept the Company’s offer to make the Transition Payment, please sign, date and return a copy of this Release to the Company within twenty one (21) days after the Retirement Date. Executive is not to sign this Release prior to the Retirement Date. If not accepted, the Company’s offer to enter into this Release and provide the Transition Payment will expire at the close of business on the date that is twenty one (21) days after the Retirement Date.
