TO THE
UPS RETIREMENT PLAN


WHEREAS, United Parcel Service of America, Inc. (the "Company") maintains the UPS Retirement Plan (the "Plan"), amended and restated effective January 1, 2014; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") may amend the Plan at any time; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan to freeze eligibility effective June 30, 2016, such that anyone hired, rehired, or transferred to Employee status on or after July 1, 2016 (other than those participants eligible to participate in the Plan in accordance with Appendix M) shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan; and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the Plan is amended as follows, effective June 30, 2016:

FURTHERMORE, the Plan was amended effective June 30, 2016 to provide for a freeze of eligibility effective as of that date for any individual hired, rehired, or transferred to Employee status on or after July 1, 2016. All employees who were employed as an Employee on June 30, 2016 shall remain Participants and shall continue to earn Benefit Service and accrue benefits as set forth under this Plan as long as such individual remains employed as an Employee, but any individual hired, rehired, or transferred to Employee status on or after July 1, 2016 shall generally be ineligible to participate in the Plan, and shall generally be ineligible to accrue benefits under the Plan, except as specifically set forth herein. This shall not affect any individual participating or who becomes eligible to participate in the Plan by Appendix M but only to the extent of the benefits described in Appendix M. For clarification, any individual hired, rehired, or transferred to Employee status on or after July 1, 2016 who had a previously accrued benefit under the Plan, shall continue to be considered a "Participant" under the Plan, but only to the extent of such previously accrued benefit. No additional Benefit Service for such an individual shall apply or be earned, nor shall any benefits generally increase following the date such individual is hired, rehired, or transferred to Employee status after June 30, 2016, except as may be specifically set forth under this Plan.

(i)
General. For a Participant, other than a Grandfathered Participant or a Pre-2001 Participant, the sum of A, B, C and D, where:

(A) = the RPA Formula benefit, if any,
(B) = the UPS Freight Formula benefit, if any,

(D) = the Portable Account Benefit, if any.

For Plan Years beginning after December 31, 2007, each Participant who has at least one Hour of Service on or after January 1, 2008 will accrue either a Portable Account Benefit or a Final Average Compensation Formula benefit, but not both.
