WHEREAS, the parties intend for this Agreement to supersede any and all prior agreements that Employee has with any member of the FedEx Group relating to the terms and conditions of his employment with the FedEx Group following the Effective Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are mutually acknowledged, the Company and Employee hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Employment Status.

(a) General. Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that his termination as an officer, director, or committee member of any member of the FedEx Group will become effective as of the end of the day on July 31, 2023. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that his termination from service as an employee of the Company and from each other position (as a service provider or otherwise) with any member of the FedEx Group will become effective as of the Separation Date. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Employee shall not represent himself (i) after July 31, 2023, as being an officer or director of the Company or any other member of the FedEx Group for any purpose and (ii) after the Separation Date as being an employee, agent, or representative of the Company or any other member of the FedEx Group for any purpose. The Separation Date shall be the termination date of Employee’s employment for purposes of participation in and coverage under all benefit plans and programs sponsored by or through the FedEx Group, except as otherwise provided herein. The terms and conditions set forth herein shall exclusively govern Employee’s continued employment with the Company from and after the Effective Date.

(b) Duties. During the period commencing on the Offer Date and ending on the Separation Date (the “Transition Period”), Employee shall continue to perform such duties as assigned by the President and Chief Executive Officer of FedEx Corporation.

(c) Compensation and Benefits. During the Transition Period, Employee will continue to (i) receive his current base salary, (ii) accrue benefits under all employee benefit, retirement, and bonus plans of the FedEx Group based on his position as of the Effective Date, (iii) participate in the health insurance and other benefit plans of the FedEx Group in which he currently participates, and (iv) receive the perquisites and other personal benefits currently provided to him, subject in all cases to the discretion of the Company to amend or terminate any or all of such plans or arrangements at any time and from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.

(d) Employer Property. Except as expressly set forth herein or otherwise permitted by the Company, on or before the Separation Date, Employee will return to the Company all property in Employee’s possession, custody, or control belonging to the FedEx Group, including, but not limited to, all equipment, computers, pass codes, keys, swipe cards, credit cards, documents, or other materials, in whatever form or format, that Employee received, prepared or helped prepare. Except as otherwise permitted by the Company and subject to Section 9 hereof, Employee will not, after the Separation Date, retain any copies, duplicates, reproductions, computer disks, or excerpts thereof, whether in hard copy or electronic form, of the FedEx Group’s documents.

Section 2. Separation Payments and Benefits.

(a) Accrued Amounts. Following the Separation Date, Employee will be paid or provided all accrued but unpaid base salary and approved unreimbursed business expenses through the Separation Date, if any, regardless of whether this Agreement becomes effective. In addition, Employee shall be entitled to all benefits accrued up to the Separation Date, to the extent vested, under all employee benefit or bonus plans of the FedEx Group in which Employee participates (except for any plan that provides for severance pay or termination benefits) in accordance with the terms of such plans, and any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, following the date on which Employee’s coverage under the group health plan would otherwise terminate, Employee shall be entitled to enroll in COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plan, as provided under applicable law, at his expense or, if eligible under the terms of such plan, the retiree medical health plan. Information about electing COBRA coverage will be provided to Employee in connection with his separation from service in accordance with the Company’s customary practices.
