Interim Financial Statements
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the company, are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at March 28, 2026, the results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, and the cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2025, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain all information that is included in the annual financial statements and notes thereto of the company. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the 2025 financial statements and notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

Amounts and percentages reported within these condensed consolidated financial statements are presented and calculated based on underlying unrounded amounts. As a result, the sum of components may not equal corresponding totals due to rounding.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The company’s estimates include, among others, asset reserve requirements as well as the amounts of future cash flows associated with certain assets and businesses that are used in assessing the risk of impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Credit Facilities
The company has a revolving credit facility (the Facility) with a bank group that provides for up to $5.00 billion of unsecured multi-currency revolving credit. The Facility expires on January 7, 2028. The revolving credit agreement calls for interest at either a Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), EURIBOR-based rate (for funds drawn in euro), or a rate based on the prime lending rate of the agent bank, at the company’s option. The agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for facilities of this type. The covenants in the Facility include a Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio (Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Net Interest Expense), as such terms are defined in the Facility. Specifically, the company has agreed that, so long as any lender has any commitment under the Facility, any letter of credit is outstanding under the Facility, or any loan or other obligation is outstanding under the Facility, it will maintain a minimum Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.5:1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. As of March 28, 2026, no borrowings were outstanding under the Facility.

Commercial Paper Programs
The company has commercial paper programs pursuant to which it may issue and sell unsecured, short-term promissory notes (CP Notes). Under the U.S. program, a) maturities may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue and b) the CP Notes are issued on a private placement basis under customary terms in the commercial paper market and are not redeemable prior to maturity nor subject to voluntary prepayment. Under the euro program, maturities may not exceed 183 days and may be denominated in euro, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds sterling, Swiss franc, Canadian dollars or other currencies. Under both programs, the CP Notes are issued at a discount from par (or premium to par, in the case of negative interest rates), or, alternatively, are sold at par and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis.
Senior Notes
Interest is payable annually on the euro and public Swiss franc-denominated fixed rate senior notes, quarterly on the euro-denominated floating rate senior note, and semi-annually on all other senior notes. Each of the U.S. dollar and euro-denominated fixed rate senior notes, and Japanese yen-denominated and Swiss franc-denominated private placement notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus a specified make-whole premium and accrued interest, together with swap breakage costs payable to holders of the Japanese yen-denominated and Swiss franc-denominated private placement notes who have entered into cross-currency swap agreements. The company is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants under the indentures and note purchase agreement governing the senior notes, the most restrictive of which limits the ability of the company to pledge certain property and assets as security under borrowing arrangements. The company was in compliance with all covenants related to its senior notes at March 28, 2026.
Thermo Fisher Scientific (Finance I) B.V. (Thermo Fisher International), a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of the company, issued each of the following notes outstanding as of March 28, 2026, included in the table above (collectively, the “Euronotes”) in registered public offerings: the Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2027, the 0.80% Senior Notes due 2030, the 1.125% Senior Notes due 2033, the 3.628% Senior Notes due 2035, the 1.625% Senior Notes due 2041, and the 2.00% Senior Notes due 2051. The company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of Thermo Fisher International’s obligations under the Euronotes and all of Thermo Fisher International’s other debt securities, and no other subsidiary of the company will guarantee these obligations. Thermo Fisher International is a “finance subsidiary” as defined in Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of the Exchange Act, with no assets or operations other than those related to the issuance, administration and repayment of the Euronotes and other debt securities issued by Thermo Fisher International from time to time. The financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Thermo Fisher International are consolidated in the financial statements of the company.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Matters
The company is currently involved in various stages of investigation and remediation related to environmental matters. The company cannot predict all potential costs related to environmental remediation matters and the possible impact on future operations given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the complexity and interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, the varying costs of alternative cleanup methods and the extent of the company’s responsibility. Expenses for environmental remediation matters related to the costs of installing, operating and maintaining groundwater-treatment systems and other remedial activities related to historical environmental contamination at the company’s domestic and international facilities were not material in any period presented. At March 28, 2026, there have been no material changes to the accruals for pending environmental-related matters disclosed in the company’s 2025 financial statements and notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. While management believes the accruals for environmental remediation are adequate based on current estimates of remediation costs, the company may be subject to additional remedial or compliance costs due to future events such as changes in existing laws and regulations, changes in agency direction or enforcement policies, developments in remediation technologies or changes in the conduct of the company’s operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Litigation and Related Contingencies
The company is involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, inquiries, investigations and proceedings, and litigation matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The disputes and litigation matters include product liability, intellectual property, employment and commercial issues. Due to the inherent uncertainties associated with pending litigation or claims, the company cannot predict the outcome, nor, with respect to certain pending litigation or claims where no liability has been accrued, make a meaningful estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome. The company has no material accruals for pending litigation or claims for which accrual amounts are not disclosed in these interim financial statements and notes, nor are material losses deemed probable for such matters. It is reasonably possible, however, that an unfavorable outcome that exceeds the company’s current accrual estimate, if any, for one or more such matters could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Product Liability, Workers Compensation and Other Personal Injury Matters
The company is involved in various proceedings and litigation that arise from time to time in connection with product liability, workers compensation and other personal injury matters. At March 28, 2026, there have been no material changes to the accruals for pending product liability, workers compensation, and other personal injury matters disclosed in the company’s 2025 financial statements and notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although the company believes that the amounts accrued and estimated insurance recoveries are probable and appropriate based on available information, including actuarial studies of loss estimates, the process of estimating losses and insurance recoveries involves a considerable degree of judgment by management and the ultimate amounts could vary, which could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. Insurance contracts do not relieve the company of its primary obligation with respect to any losses incurred. The collectability of amounts due from its insurers is subject to the solvency and willingness of the insurer to pay, as well as the legal sufficiency of the insurance claims. Management monitors the payment history as well as the financial condition and ratings of its insurers on an ongoing basis.

Restructuring and Other Costs
In the first three months of 2026, restructuring and other costs primarily included continuing charges for headcount reductions and facility consolidations in an effort to streamline operations, impairment of long-lived assets, and, to a lesser extent, net charges for pre-acquisition litigation and other matters. In 2026, severance actions associated with facility consolidations and cost reduction measures affected less than 1% of the company’s workforce.
As of May 1, 2026, the company has identified restructuring actions, primarily in the Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services segment, that it expects will result in additional charges of approximately $290 million, primarily in 2026, and expects to identify additional actions in future periods.
Restructuring and other costs are as follows:

In the first three months of 2026 and 2025, the company recorded deferred tax benefits from the recognition of a tax attribute related to domestication transactions of $175 million and $125 million, respectively, included in Other adjustments above.
The company has operations and a taxable presence in approximately 70 countries outside the U.S. The company's effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate each year due to certain operations that are subject to tax incentives, state and local taxes, and foreign taxes that are different than the U.S. federal statutory rate.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted. The OBBBA includes a broad range of provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain otherwise expiring provisions, modifications to the international tax framework and the reinstatement of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The OBBBA made changes to certain US corporate tax provisions which are effective beginning in 2026. The enactment of the OBBBA does not have a material impact on the results from operations for the current year or future years.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
As of March 28, 2026, the company had $0.42 billion of unrecognized tax benefits substantially all of which, if recognized, would reduce the effective tax rate. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Note 12. Acquisitions and Divestiture
Acquisitions
The company’s acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the determined fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets, resulting in goodwill, primarily due to expectations of the synergies that will be realized by combining the businesses and the benefits that will be gained from the assembled workforces. These synergies include the elimination of redundant facilities, functions and staffing; use of the company’s existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired businesses’ products and services; and use of the commercial infrastructure of the acquired businesses to cost-effectively expand sales of company products and services.
Acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and the acquired companies’ results have been included in the accompanying financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of Solventum’s Filtration and Separation business is based on the estimates of the fair value of the purchase price and net assets acquired and is subject to adjustment upon finalization, largely with respect to acquired intangible assets, inventory and the related deferred taxes. Measurements of these items inherently require significant estimates and assumptions.
In addition, in 2025, the company acquired within the Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services segment, a sterile fill finishing and packaging facility to meet the growing demand from pharma and biotech customers for U.S. manufacturing capacity.
The weighted-average amortization periods for definite-lived intangible assets acquired in 2025 are 18 years for customer relationships, 19 years for product technology, and 15 years for trade names. The weighted-average amortization period for all definite-lived intangible assets acquired in 2025 is 18 years.
Divestiture

Organic revenue growth (non-GAAP measure) | | | | 1 | % |
During the first three months of 2026, revenue growth was strong in the pharma and biotech market, with performance driven by strengthening underlying market conditions. Revenues in the academic and government market declined, driven by muted macro conditions in the U.S. and China. Revenue to customers in the industrial and applied market was flat. Revenue to customers in the diagnostics and healthcare market declined. During the first three months of 2026, sales grew slightly in North America and were flat in Europe and Asia-Pacific, with China declining slightly. The first quarter of 2026 was also impacted by one fewer selling day than the first quarter of 2025. Contributions to organic revenue during the first three months of 2026 were led by the Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services segment and, to a lesser extent, the Life Sciences Solutions segment, offset in part by declines in the Analytical Instruments and Specialty Diagnostics segments.
The company continues to execute its proven growth strategy which consists of three pillars:
•High-impact innovation,
•Our trusted partner status with customers, and
•Our unparalleled commercial engine.
GAAP operating income margin and adjusted operating income margin decreased in the first quarter of 2026 due primarily to unfavorable business mix, strategic investments, and the impact of tariffs and related foreign currency effects, largely offset by very strong productivity improvements. The aforementioned decrease in GAAP operating income margin in the first quarter of 2026 was more than offset by lower levels of restructuring and other charges incurred for headcount reductions and facility consolidations in an effort to streamline operations (Note 6).
The company’s references to strategic investments generally refer to targeted spending for enhancing commercial capabilities, including expansion of geographic sales reach and e-commerce platforms, marketing initiatives, expanded service and operational infrastructure, research and development projects and other expenditures to enhance the customer experience, as well as incentive compensation and recognition for employees. The company’s references throughout this discussion to productivity improvements generally refer to the impact of its Practical Process Improvement (PPI) Business System to address inflation, drive cost efficiencies and improve profitability. The benefits of PPI include optimized price realization, reduced costs resulting from implementing continuous improvement methodologies, global sourcing initiatives, a lower cost structure following restructuring actions including headcount reductions and consolidation of facilities, and low cost region manufacturing.
Notable Recent Acquisitions
On March 24, 2026, the company acquired, within the Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services segment, Clario Holdings, Inc., a U.S.-based leading provider of endpoint data solutions for clinical trials. The acquisition expands the segment’s portfolio with the addition of highly complementary clinical research offerings, enabling customers to gain critical insights from patient data to improve decision-making, accelerate innovation and drive greater productivity.
On September 1, 2025, the company acquired, within the Life Sciences Solutions segment, our filtration and separation business, a leading provider of purification and filtration technologies used in the production of biologics as well as in medical technologies and industrial applications, from Solventum Corporation. The business strengthens the segment’s bioproduction offerings with advanced filtration technologies that improve quality and efficiency across upstream and downstream workflows. In addition, its industrial filtration and membrane solutions will expand our reach into industries including battery, semiconductor and medical device manufacturing.
Segment Results
The company’s management evaluates segment operating performance using operating income before certain charges/credits as defined in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2025. Accordingly, the following segment data are reported on this basis.

The increase in organic revenues in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by the bioproduction business. On a reported basis, the bioproduction business grew $222 million, which contributed 9 percentage points of reported growth in the segment, driven by higher demand from pharma and biotech customers, as well as the impact from the 2025 acquisition of the filtration and separation business. The increase in segment income margin resulted primarily from exceptionally strong productivity improvements, offset in part by unfavorable business mix, and the impact from the acquisition of the filtration and separation business.

The decrease in organic revenues in the first quarter of 2026 was driven by muted demand for instruments from academic and government customers in the U.S. and China. On a reported basis, the electron microscopy business declined $27 million, largely offset by $26 million of growth in the chromatography and mass spectrometry business. The decrease in segment income margin was driven by the impacts of tariffs and related foreign exchange, unfavorable business mix, and lower volume, partially offset by productivity improvements.

The decrease in organic revenues in the first quarter of 2026 was driven by the impact of one fewer selling day in the current year quarter, and strong performance in the prior year quarter. On a reported basis, the healthcare market channel declined $43 million, partially offset by growth across the diagnostics businesses. The increase in segment income margin was driven by strong productivity and favorable impacts of foreign exchange, offset in part by unfavorable volume leverage.

The increase in organic revenues in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to strong growth in the clinical research business and the research and safety market channel. On a reported basis, the clinical research business, pharma services business, and the research and safety market channel grew $189 million, $134 million, and $100 million, respectively, which contributed 3 percentage points, 2 percentage points, and 2 percentage points, respectively, of reported growth in the segment. The decrease in segment income margin was driven by unfavorable business mix, strategic investments and unfavorable impacts of foreign exchange, largely offset by very strong productivity improvements.

| Weighted average diluted shares | | | | | | 373 | | | 379 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) in the first three months of 2026 increased due primarily to the increase in debt for general corporate purposes and the company’s capital deployment initiatives, which included financing stock buybacks, paying dividends, and acquiring Clario (Note 12), partially offset by higher average cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balances when compared to the first three months of 2025. In the first three months of 2026 and 2025, the company’s net interest expense was reduced by approximately $96 million and $67 million, respectively, as a result of its interest rate swap and cross-currency interest rate swap arrangements (Note 10).
GAAP other income/(expense) and adjusted other income/(expense) includes currency transaction gains/losses on non-operating monetary assets and liabilities, and net periodic pension benefit cost/income, excluding the service cost component. GAAP other income/(expense) in the first three months of 2026 and 2025 also includes $(1) million and $1 million, respectively, of net gains/(losses) on investments.
The company’s GAAP and adjusted tax rates in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025 were impacted by $175 million and $125 million, respectively, of deferred tax benefits from the recognition of a tax attribute related to domestication transactions (Note 7).
The effective tax rates in both 2026 and 2025 were also affected by relatively significant earnings in lower tax jurisdictions. Due primarily to the non-deductibility of intangible asset amortization for tax purposes, the company’s cash payments for income taxes are higher than its income tax expense for financial reporting purposes and are expected to total approximately $1.5 billion in 2026.
The company expects its GAAP effective tax rate in 2026 will be between 9% and 11% based on currently forecasted rates of profitability in the countries in which the company conducts business and generates foreign tax credits. The effective tax rate can vary significantly from period to period as a result of discrete income tax factors and events. The company expects its adjusted tax rate will be approximately 11.5% in 2026.
The company has operations and a taxable presence in approximately 70 countries outside the U.S. Some of these countries have lower tax rates than the U.S. The company’s ability to obtain a benefit from lower tax rates outside the U.S. is dependent on its relative levels of income in countries outside the U.S. and on the statutory tax rates in those countries. Based on the dispersion of the company’s non-U.S. income tax provision among many countries, the company believes that a change in the statutory tax rate in any individual country is not likely to materially affect the company’s income tax provision or net income.
Weighted average diluted shares decreased in 2026 compared to 2025, primarily due to share repurchases, net of option dilution.
THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC INC.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The company’s proven growth strategy has enabled it to generate free cash flow as well as access the capital markets. The company deploys its capital primarily via mergers and acquisitions and secondarily via share buybacks and dividends.

| Short-term investments | | 2 | | | 253 | |
| Total debt | | 43,161 | | | 39,384 | |
Approximately half of the company’s cash balances and cash flows from operations are generated outside the U.S. The company uses its non-U.S. cash for needs outside of the U.S., including acquisitions, capacity expansion, and repayment of third-party foreign debt by foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the company also transfers cash to the U.S. using non-taxable intercompany transactions, including loans and returns of capital, as well as dividends where the related U.S. dividend received deduction or foreign tax credit equals any tax cost arising from the dividends. As a result of using such means of transferring cash to the U.S., the company does not expect any material adverse liquidity effects from its significant non-U.S. cash balances for the foreseeable future. The company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and its future cash flow from operations together with available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements of its existing businesses for the foreseeable future, including at least the next 24 months.
As of March 28, 2026, the company’s short-term obligations and current maturities of long-term obligations totaled $3.09 billion. During the first quarter of 2026, the company amended its revolving credit facility with a bank group that provides up to $5.00 billion of unsecured multi-currency revolving credit to extend the expiration date by one year to January 7, 2028 (Note 3). If the company borrows under this facility, it intends to leave undrawn an amount equivalent to outstanding commercial paper to provide a source of funds in the event that commercial paper markets are not available. As of March 28, 2026, no borrowings were outstanding under the company’s revolving credit facility.

Operating Activities
During the first three months of 2026, cash provided by income was offset in part by investments in working capital. Changes in other assets and liabilities used cash of $0.45 billion primarily due to the timing of payments for compensation and income taxes. Cash payments for income taxes were $0.35 billion during the first three months of 2026.
During the first three months of 2025, cash provided by income was offset in part by investments in working capital. Changes in other assets and liabilities used cash of $1.19 billion primarily due to the timing of payments for compensation and income taxes. Cash payments for income taxes were $0.65 billion during the first three months of 2025.
Investing Activities
During the first three months of 2026, acquisitions used cash of $8.87 billion. The company’s investing activities also included purchases of $0.38 billion for the purchase of property, plant and equipment for capacity and capability investments.
During the first three months of 2025 the company’s investing activities included purchases of $0.36 billion for the purchase of property, plant and equipment for capacity and capability investments.
The company expects that for all of 2026, expenditures for property, plant and equipment, net of disposals, will be between $1.9 billion and $2.1 billion.
Financing Activities
During the first three months of 2026, issuance of debt and net commercial paper activity provided $5.63 billion of cash. Repayment of debt used cash of $1.41 billion. The company’s financing activities also included the repurchase of $3.00 billion of the company’s common stock (4.9 million shares), and the payment of $0.16 billion in cash dividends. On November 6, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $5.00 billion of the company’s common stock. All of the shares of common stock repurchased by the company during the first three months of 2026 were under this program. At May 1, 2026, $2.00 billion was available for future repurchases of the company’s common stock under this authorization.
THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC INC.
During the first three months of 2025, issuance of debt provided $2.84 billion of cash. Repayment of senior notes used cash of $0.84 billion. The company’s financing activities also included the repurchase of $2.00 billion of the company’s common stock (3.6 million shares) and the payment of $0.15 billion in cash dividends.
The company’s commitments for purchases of property, plant and equipment, contractual obligations and other commercial commitments, did not change materially subsequent to December 31, 2025, except in connection with the completion of the Clario acquisition, which occurred on March 24, 2026 (Note 12).
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures such as organic revenue growth, which is reported revenue growth, excluding the impacts of revenues from acquired/divested businesses and the effects of currency translation. We report organic revenue growth because Thermo Fisher management believes that in order to understand the company’s short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of acquisitions/divestitures and foreign currency translation on revenues. Thermo Fisher management uses organic revenue growth to forecast and evaluate the operational performance of the company as well as to compare revenues of current periods to prior periods.
We report adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted other income/(expense), adjusted tax rate, and adjusted EPS. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, helps investors to gain a better understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts the company’s core operating performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods, forecasts, and to the performance of our competitors. Such measures are also used by management in their financial and operating decision-making and for compensation purposes. To calculate these measures we exclude, as applicable:
•Certain transaction-related costs, including charges for the sale of inventories revalued at the date of acquisition, significant transaction-related third-party costs, changes in estimates of contingent acquisition-related consideration, and other costs associated with obtaining short-term financing commitments for pending/recent acquisitions. We exclude these costs because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs.
•Costs/income associated with restructuring activities and large-scale abandonments of product lines, such as reducing overhead and consolidating facilities. We exclude these costs because we believe that the costs related to restructuring activities and large-scale abandonment of product lines are not indicative of our normal operating costs.
•Equity in earnings/losses of unconsolidated entities; impairments of long-lived assets; and certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, including gains/losses on investments, the sale of businesses, product lines, and real estate, significant litigation-related matters, curtailments/settlements of pension plans, and the early retirement of debt. We exclude these items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.
•The expense associated with the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because a significant portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have lives of up to 20 years. Exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies.
•The noncontrolling interest and tax impacts of the above items and the impact of significant tax audits or events (such as changes in deferred taxes from enacted tax rate/law changes), the latter of which we exclude because they are outside of our normal operations and difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.
We report free cash flow, which is operating cash flow less net capital expenditures, to provide a view of the continuing operations’ ability to generate cash for use in acquisitions and other investing and financing activities. The company also uses this measure as an indication of the strength of the company. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.
The non-GAAP financial measures of the company’s results of operations and cash flows included in this Form 10-Q are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for the company’s results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth within the “Consolidated Results” and “Segment Results” sections and below.

EXTENSION NO. 1 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of February 4, 2026 (this “Agreement”), among Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Lenders party hereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2022 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Company, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to the Credit Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Company has requested that each Lender extend such Lender’s Maturity Date for an additional 365 days from January 7, 2027 (the “Existing Maturity Date”) to January 7, 2028 (the “Extended Maturity Date”) pursuant to Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement (giving effect to the waivers included in this Agreement as to certain requirements set forth therein);
WHEREAS, (a) each existing Commitment extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be an “Extended Commitment” (with each existing Commitment not so extended, a “Non-Extended Commitment”) and (b) each existing Loan extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be an “Extending Loan” (with each existing Loan not so extended, a “Non-Extending Loan”);
WHEREAS, each Lender party hereto whose name is set forth on Schedule I hereto under the heading “Extending Lender” is willing to consent to the extension of the maturity date of all of its Commitments and Loans to the Extended Maturity Date upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (each such consenting Lender, a “Extending Lender”), and each Lender whose name is set forth on Schedule I hereto under the heading “Non-Extending Lender” is not willing to consent to the extension of the maturity date of all of its Commitments and Loans to the Extended Maturity Date (each such non-consenting Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”);
WHEREAS, each Lender party hereto is willing to consent to the extension to the Maturity Date of the Credit Agreement described in Section 2 below, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 2. Maturity Date Extension.
(a)Extension. On the Effective Date (as defined below), each Extending Lender agrees that all of its existing Commitment and Loans will be modified to become an Extended Commitment and Extending Loans, respectively, of like amount, and that the Maturity Date for such
Extended Commitments and Extending Loans will be the Extended Maturity Date. The existing Commitments and Loans of each Non-Extending Lender will remain outstanding as Non-Extended Commitments and Non-Extending Loans, respectively, and the Maturity Date of such Non-Extended Commitments and Non-Extended Loans will remain the Existing Maturity Date. Each existing Loan of an Extending Lender will be converted into an Extending Loan of the same Type, and with respect to Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans and Term SOFR Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto shall be the then-current Interest Period applicable to such existing Loan from which it is converted with no conversion into a different Interest Period. For the avoidance of doubt, no payment or prepayment of any Loan shall be deemed to have occurred solely due to this Agreement or the transactions described herein.
(b)Other Extension Matters. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree to the following:
i.Following the Effective Date, the L/C Obligations shall continue to be held ratably among the lenders under the Credit Agreement, but on the Existing Maturity Date, the L/C Obligations under the Credit Agreement held by any Non-Extending Lender shall be ratably reallocated, to the extent of the unused Commitments of the Extending Lenders, to such Extending Lenders (without regard to whether the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 of the Credit Agreement can then be satisfied) and the Borrowers shall cash collateralize the balance of such L/C Obligations under the Credit Agreement in accordance with Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement.
ii. On the Existing Maturity Date applicable to Loans of any Non-Extending Lender, the Borrowers shall repay any outstanding Loans of each Non-Extending Lender that has not been replaced as provided in Sections 2.15(d) and 10.13 of the Credit Agreement (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to the Credit Agreement).
iii. Lenders party hereto, constituting the Required Lenders, hereby waive the timing and notice requirements set forth in Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement.

| Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all vesting is dependent on the Participant remaining an Eligible Participant (as defined in Exhibit A) through the applicable Vesting Date. |
This Agreement includes this Notice of Award and the following Exhibit, which is expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety herein:
Exhibit A – General Terms and Conditions
This Agreement must be accepted on the final page below.
EXHIBIT A
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.Award of Restricted Stock Units.
This Agreement (including the Notice of Award) sets forth the terms and conditions of an award on the Award Date set forth in the Notice of Award, by the Company to the Participant of that number of restricted stock units of the Company set forth in the Notice of Award (individually, an “RSU” and collectively, the “RSUs” or the “Award”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock, $1.00 par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) pursuant to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as from time to time amended (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.
2.Time-Based Vesting.
Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (b) through (f) of Section 3 and the Plan, the RSUs shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice of Award provided that on each Vesting Date set forth in the Notice of Award, the Participant is, and has been at all times since the Award Date, an employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) (an “Eligible Participant”). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant shall continue to be an Eligible Participant upon a change in the employment or service relationship (e.g., a change from employee to a director).
3.Additional Vesting Provisions.
(a) Termination of Relationship with the Company. In the event that the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant for any reason not described in paragraphs (b) through (f) below, RSUs that have not previously vested shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.
(b) Death or Disability. In the event that the Participant’s service with the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) is terminated by reason of death or Disability prior to the final Vesting Date, the RSUs that have not previously vested shall vest 100% upon the date of such termination due to death or Disability.
(c) Discharge without Cause or for Good Reason. In the event that the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) without “Cause” (as defined in Section 1.2 of the 2009 Restatement of Executive Severance Agreement between the Company and the Participant dated November 21, 2009, as may be amended from time to time (the “Severance Agreement”)) or by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined in Section 1.4 of the Severance Agreement), and such termination does not entitle the Participant to severance benefits under the Executive Change in Control Retention Agreement between the Company and the Participant dated November 21, 2009, as may be amended from time to time (the “CIC Agreement”), the RSUs that are scheduled to vest on the next Vesting Date will vest on such Vesting Date (and the Participant shall be deemed to have been an Eligible Participant up through such Vesting Date), and the remaining RSUs shall be forfeited.
(d) Change in Control Event. In the event that the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) without “Cause” (as defined in Section 1.3 of the CIC Agreement) or by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined in Section 1.4 of the CIC Agreement) and such termination entitles the Participant to severance benefits under the CIC Agreement, then all unvested RSUs shall vest upon the date of such termination.
(e) Retirement. If the Participant Retires from the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) prior to the final Vesting Date, the RSUs that have not previously vested shall vest 100% upon the effective date of such Retirement, provided that the Retirement date occurs at least two years after the Award Date.
(f) Discharge for Cause. In the event that the Participant is discharged by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) for “Cause” (as defined in Section 1.2 of the Severance Agreement), all unvested RSUs and all vested RSUs that have not been delivered in accordance with Section 4 below shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such discharge. The Participant shall be considered to have been discharged for Cause if the Company determines, within thirty (30) days after the Participant’s resignation, that discharge for Cause was warranted.
4.Delivery of Shares
(a) The Company shall deliver the Shares that become issuable pursuant to an RSU within the sixty (60) day period following the date the RSUs vest pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 above.
(b) The Company shall not be obligated to deliver Shares to the Participant unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and other legal requirements including, without limitation, any applicable federal or state securities laws and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may then be listed.
5.Meaning and Use of Certain Terms.
For purposes of this Agreement,
(a) “Change in Control Event” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Plan.
(b) “Disability” or “Disabled”. A Participant shall be deemed to be “disabled” at such time as the Participant is receiving disability benefits under the Company’s (or a Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s) long term disability coverage, as then in effect; provided however that the Participant shall not be treated as Disabled unless the disability is described under Section 409A of the Code.
(c) “Retire” or “Retirement”. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed to have “retired” (i) in the event of a non-employee director of the Company, when the Participant ceases to be a director of the Company or (ii) in the event of an employee of the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate), upon the Participant’s resignation from employment with the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) either (A) after the age of fifty-five (55) and the completion of ten (10) continuous years of service to the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) comprising at least twenty (20) hours per week or (B) after the age of sixty (60) and the completion of five (5) continuous years of service to the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) comprising at least twenty (20) hours per week. For purposes of this Agreement and for the sake of clarity, subject
to execution of a release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company, the Participant may seek to re-characterize any termination of employment initiated by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate), that is not a termination for “Cause” (as defined in Section 1.2 of the Severance Agreement) as a voluntary termination by reason of Retirement, in which case the Participant shall not be entitled to receive any severance or other benefits that would have otherwise been provided by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) to the Participant pursuant to any agreement between the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) and the Participant or any Company policy. Any such determination shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(d) “Subsidiary” or “Affiliate” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Plan, and shall for the avoidance of doubt include any such entity only so long as the Company maintains a controlling interest in such entity.
6.Restrictions on Transfer.
The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively “transfer”) any RSUs, or any interest therein, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Upon delivery of Shares pursuant to Section 4 above, the Participant for two years thereafter shall not transfer more than 50% of the actual net Shares delivered (after withholding for the payment of taxes); provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to a termination of the Participant’s employment under paragraphs (b), (c), (d), or (e) of Section 3 above. The Participant acknowledges that any stock certificates or other evidence of ownership of RSUs or Shares may bear a restrictive legend evidencing any applicable transfer restrictions.
7.Provisions of the Plan.
This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this Agreement.
8.Dividends; Other Corporate Transactions.
(a) If at any time during the period between the Award Date and the date that Shares are delivered after the RSU vests, the Company pays a dividend or other distribution with respect to its Common Stock, including without limitation a distribution of shares of the Company’s stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise, then on the date the Shares issuable upon vesting of the RSU are delivered, the Company shall pay the Participant, at the time of delivery of the Shares pursuant to Section 4, the dividend or other distribution that would have been paid on such Shares if the Participant had owned such Shares during the period beginning on the Award Date and ending on the respective delivery date. No dividend or other distribution shall be paid with respect to RSUs that are forfeited.
(b) In the event of a Reorganization Event, then the rights of the Company under this Agreement and all other terms of this Agreement (including without limitation vesting provisions) shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor and shall apply to the cash, securities or other property which the Common Stock was converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such Reorganization Event in the same manner and to the same extent as they applied to the
Shares. Such cash, securities or other property shall be delivered or paid at the time provided in Section 4 except payments in connection with the liquidation of the Company, which shall be made only as permitted under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
(c) Except as set forth in Section 8(a) or (b) above and in the Plan, neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant shall be, or have any rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of the Shares issuable pursuant to the RSUs granted hereunder until the Shares have been delivered to the Participant.
9.Withholding Taxes; No Section 83(b) Election.
(a) The Participant expressly acknowledges that the delivery of Shares to the Participant will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding and the Participant hereby authorizes the Company to hold back from the Shares to be delivered pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement that number of Shares (which may include fractional shares) calculated to satisfy all such federal, state, local or other applicable taxes required to be withheld in connection with such delivery of Shares; provided, however, that at the Company’s discretion, a Participant who is not subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may provide notice to the Company prior to the delivery of the Shares that the Participant will make payment to the Company on the date of delivery to satisfy all required withholding taxes in lieu of satisfying such obligation through the withholding of Shares.
(b) The Participant acknowledges that no election under Section 83(b) of the Code may be filed with respect to this Award.
10.No Right To Employment or Other Status. The grant of an award of RSUs shall not be construed as giving the Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates expressly reserve the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with the Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.
11.Conflicts With Other Agreements. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any employment, severance or other agreement between the Company and the Participant, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
12.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws and in the event of a dispute related to or arising out of this Agreement, the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Delaware federal and Chancery Courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Termination (defined below), Recapture (defined below), and/or Reimbursement (defined below) that is based, in whole or in part, on the Participant’s breach of a noncompete agreement or nonsolicitation obligation, such disputes shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts, and any dispute arising out of this Agreement shall be asserted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in or covering the county in which the Participant resides within the State of Massachusetts, and the parties hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those state and federal courts.
13.Unfunded Rights. The right of the Participant to receive Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement is an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. The Participant shall have no rights under this Agreement other than those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
14.Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is intended to provide for deferred compensation that is exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted consistently with such intent. Accordingly, the Participant shall have no right to designate the taxable year of payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if and to the extent any portion of any payment under this Agreement to the Participant is payable upon the Participant’s separation from service and the Participant is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determination the Participant (through accepting the Award) agrees that the Participant is bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit shall not be paid before the day that is six (6) months plus one (1) day after the date of “separation from service”, except as Section 409A of the Code may then permit.
The Company makes no representations or warranties and shall have no liability to the Participant or any other person if any provisions of or payments, compensation or other benefits under this Agreement are determined to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy the conditions of that section.
15.Clawback. In accepting this Award, the Participant expressly agrees to be bound by, and subject to, the following clawback policy and any clawback policy that the Company has in effect (as the same may be amended from time to time) or may adopt in the future:
(a) The Award is intended to align the Participant’s long-term interests with those of the Company. Accordingly, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or any other applicable agreement, plan, or policy, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may terminate any unsettled RSUs, whether vested or unvested (“Termination”), recapture any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs (“Recapture”), or require the Participant to reimburse the Company for any and all amounts realized from the acquisition or disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs (“Reimbursement”), upon the occurrence of any of the following events (collectively, the “Conditions”):
(i) the Participant has engaged in misuse of the Company’s confidential information and/or conduct in breach of any (A) confidentiality obligation to the Company under any agreement between the Company and the Participant, or any policy or plan of the Company, including but not limited to, the Company’s standard form of Information and Invention Agreement applicable to such Participant, or (B) applicable noncompetition or nonsolicitation obligation to the Company under any applicable agreement between the Company and the Participant, or any policy or plan of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s standard form of Noncompetition Agreement applicable to such Participant;
(ii) the Participant has been discharged by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) for “Cause” (as defined in Section 1.2 of the Severance Agreement); or
(iii) during the Participant’s employment or other service, the Participant (A) has rendered services to or otherwise directly or indirectly engaged in or assisted, any organization or business that, in the judgment of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, is against the interest of the Company or one of its affiliates; or (B) has engaged in activities that are materially prejudicial to or in conflict with the interests of the Company, including any breaches of fiduciary duty or the duty of loyalty.
For purposes of this Section 15, “RSU Benefits” shall mean any and all amounts realized from the acquisition or disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs, including any sales proceeds, dividends and/or dividend equivalents.
(b) Prior to the issuance of any Shares upon settlement of vested RSUs pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant shall, if requested in writing by the Company, certify on a form acceptable to the Company that the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and with the obligations contained in the Plan, or any other relevant agreement, plan, or contract listed in Section 15(a).
(c) Within ten (10) calendar days after receiving notice from the Company of any such activity described in Section 15(a) of this Agreement, the Participant shall either deliver to the Company the applicable Shares or make a cash payment to the Company equal to the RSU Benefits. For purposes of the Company’s exercise of its Recapture and/or Reimbursement rights hereunder, the Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Participant’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third-party administrator engaged by the Company to hold Shares and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 15, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, choose to refrain from exercising its rights of Termination, Recapture and/or Reimbursement with respect to any particular act of the Participant or with respect to any other participant in the Plan, and its determination to refrain from exercising such rights shall not in any way reduce or eliminate the Company’s authority to exercise its rights of Termination, Recapture and/or Reimbursement with respect to any other act of the Participant. Nothing in this Section 15 shall be construed to impose obligations on the Participant to refrain from engaging in lawful competition with the Company after the termination of employment that does not violate the Conditions, other than any obligations that are part of any applicable separate agreement between the Company and the Participant or that arise under applicable law.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company shall not seek to exercise its rights of Termination, Recapture or Reimbursement relating to any RSUs that were vested and settled more than twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Participant’s act or omission set forth in Section 15(a), provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all RSUs shall be subject to the Company’s rights of Termination, Recapture and/or Reimbursement to the extent required by applicable law, including but not limited to Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
As a condition to the grant of this Award, the Participant by signing below acknowledges receipt and affirmatively agrees to the Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of the above General Terms and Conditions.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

This Agreement must be accepted on the final page below.
EXHIBIT A
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.Award of Restricted Stock Units.
This Agreement (including the Notice of Award) sets forth the terms and conditions of an award on the Award Date set forth in the Notice of Award, by the Company to the Participant of that number of restricted stock units of the Company set forth in the Notice of Award (individually, an “RSU” and collectively, the “RSUs” or the “Award”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock, $1.00 par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) pursuant to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as from time to time amended (the “Plan”). The number of RSUs set forth in the Notice of Award is referred to as the “Target Award.” Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.
2.Vesting Schedule.
Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (b) through (e) of Section 3 and the Plan, the RSUs shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice of Award and Schedule A below, provided that on the Vesting Date (as defined in Schedule A), the Participant is, and has been at all times since the Award Date, providing service as (as applicable) an employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) (an “Eligible Participant”). For the avoidance of doubt, “service” shall mean (i) if the Participant is an employee of the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) on the Award Date, only service as an employee, and (ii) if the Participant is a consultant, advisor or other non-employee service provider of the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) on the Award Date, service only in such position. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant shall cease to be an Eligible Participant upon a change in the employment or service relationship (e.g. a change from employee to a consultant).
3.Additional Vesting Provisions.
(a)Termination of Relationship with the Company. In the event that the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant for any reason other than those set forth in paragraphs (b) through (e) below before the Vesting Date (as defined in Schedule A), the RSUs that have not previously vested shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.
(b)Death or Disability. In the event that the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of death or Disability prior to the end of the Performance Period (as defined in Schedule A), 100% of the Target Award shall vest upon the date of such termination. In the event that such termination occurs on or after the last day of the Performance Period but prior to the Vesting Date, the greater of 100% of the Target Award and the number of RSUs that would vest based on actual performance as set forth in Schedule A shall vest on the Vesting Date.
(c)Change in Control Event. Upon a Change in Control Event during the Performance Period pursuant to which the RSUs either remain outstanding or are assumed by the acquiring or succeeding entity, the RSUs shall convert into a number of time-vesting restricted stock units (“Time-Vesting RSUs”) equal to the greater of 100% of the Target Award and the number of RSUs that would vest based on actual performance as set forth in Schedule A, but defining the Performance Period as the period commencing on January 1, 2026 and ending on the date immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control Event. Any RSUs that do not convert into Time-Vesting RSUs pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be forfeited for no consideration upon the consummation of the Change in Control Event and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect thereto. The Time-Vesting RSUs shall vest on the Vesting Date, provided that the Participant continues to be an Eligible Participant through such date; provided further however that in the event that the Participant’s ceases to be an Eligible ) due to a Qualifying Termination (as defined in Section 5(e) below), then 100% of the Time-Vesting RSUs shall vest immediately upon such termination. Upon a Change in Control Event occurring during the Performance Period pursuant to which the RSUs do not remain outstanding and/or are not assumed or converted by the acquiring or succeeding entity, the greater of 100% of the Target Award and the number of RSUs that would vest based on actual performance as set forth on Schedule A, but defining the Performance Period as the period commencing on January 1, 2026 and ending on the date immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control Event, shall vest immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control Event and any RSUs that do not vest pursuant to this sentence shall be forfeited for no consideration upon the consummation of the Change in Control Event and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect thereto. Upon a Change in Control Event occurring after the end of the Performance Period but before the Vesting Date, the greater of 100% of the Target Award and the number of RSUs that would vest based on actual performance as set forth on Schedule A shall vest on the Vesting Date.
(d)Retirement. If the Participant Retires from the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) after the first anniversary of the Award Date, the Participant shall continue to be eligible to vest in the RSUs or Time-Vesting RSUs, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of Schedule A or Section 4(c) hereof, as the case may be, as if he were still employed through the Vesting Date.
(e)Discharge for Cause. In the event that the Participant is discharged by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) for Cause, all unvested RSUs and all vested RSUs that have not been delivered in accordance with Section 4 below shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such discharge. The Participant shall be considered to have been discharged for Cause if the Company determines, within thirty (30) days after the Participant’s resignation, that discharge for Cause was warranted.
4.Delivery of Shares.
(a)Except as provided in (b) below, the Company shall deliver the Shares that become issuable pursuant to the Award within the sixty (60) day period following the date the RSUs vest pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 above, but in no event later than the last day of the period specified in Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(A).
(b)In the event that the Participant Retires under the conditions of Section 3(d) above, the Company shall deliver the Shares that become issuable pursuant to an RSU, to the extent not previously delivered, within the sixty (60) day period following the date such RSUs would have vested had the Participant remained employed with the Company.
(c)The Company shall not be obligated to deliver Shares to the Participant unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and other legal requirements including, without limitation, any applicable federal, state or foreign securities or exchange control laws and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may then be listed.
5.Meaning and Use of Certain Terms.
For purposes of this Agreement,
(a)“Cause” means the willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate). For purposes of the foregoing, no act or failure to act by the Participant shall be considered “willful” unless it is done or omitted to be done, in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the Participant's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate).
(b)“Change in Control Event” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Plan.
(c)“Disability” or “Disabled.” A Participant shall be deemed to be disabled at such time as the Participant is receiving disability benefits under the Company’s (or a Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s) long term disability coverage, as then in effect; provided however that the Participant shall not be treated as Disabled unless the disability is described under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
(d)“Good Reason” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Plan.
(e)“Qualifying Termination.” A Participant has a Qualifying Termination if the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason and such termination results in a separation from service under Section 409A of the Code.
(f)“Retire” or “Retirement.” For the purposes of this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed to have “retired” (i) in the event of a non-employee director of the Company, when the Participant ceases to be a director of the Company or (ii) in the event of an employee of the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate), upon the Participant’s resignation from employment with the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) either (A) after the age of fifty-five (55) and the completion of ten (10) continuous years of service to the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) comprising at least twenty (20) hours per week or (B) after the age of sixty (60) and the completion of five (5) continuous years of service to the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) comprising at least twenty (20) hours per week. For purposes of this Agreement and for the sake
of clarity, subject to execution of a release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company, a termination of employment initiated by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate), that is not a “termination for Cause” may, to the extent permitted by the Company in its sole discretion, be recharacterized as a voluntary termination by reason of Retirement, in which case the Participant shall not be entitled to receive any severance or other benefits that would have otherwise been provided by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) to the Participant pursuant to any agreement between the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) and the Participant or any Company policy. Any determination concerning eligibility for Retirement shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(g)“Subsidiary” or “Affiliate” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Plan, and shall for the avoidance of doubt include any such entity only so long as the Company maintains a controlling interest in such entity.
6.Restrictions on Transfer.
The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively “transfer”) any RSUs, or any interest therein, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
7.Provisions of the Plan.
This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this Agreement.
8.Dividends; Other Corporate Transactions.
(a)If at any time during the period between the Award Date and the date that Shares are delivered after the RSU vests, the Company pays a dividend or other distribution with respect to its Common Stock, including without limitation a distribution of shares of the Company’s stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise, then on the date the Shares issuable upon vesting of the RSU are delivered, the Company shall pay the Participant, at the time of delivery of Shares pursuant to Section 4, the dividend or other distribution that would have been paid on such Shares if the Participant had owned such Shares during the period beginning on the Award Date and ending on the delivery date. No dividend or other distribution shall be paid with respect to RSUs that are forfeited.
(b)In the event of a Reorganization Event, then the rights of the Company under this Agreement and all other terms of this Agreement (including without limitation vesting provisions) shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor and shall apply to the cash, securities, or other property which the Common Stock was converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such Reorganization Event in the same manner and to the same extent as they applied to the Shares. Such cash, securities, or other property shall be delivered or paid at the time provided in Section 4, except that payments in connection with the liquidation of the Company shall be made only as permitted under Section 409A of the Code.
(c)Except as set forth in Section 8(a) or (b) above and in the Plan, neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant shall be, or have any rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of the Shares issuable pursuant to the RSUs granted hereunder until the Shares have been delivered to the Participant.
9.Withholding Taxes; No Section 83(b) Election.
(a)The Participant expressly acknowledges that the delivery of Shares to the Participant will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding and Participant hereby authorizes the Company to hold back from the Shares to be delivered pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement that number of Shares (which may include fractional shares) calculated to satisfy all such federal, state, local or other applicable taxes required to be withheld in connection with such delivery of Shares; provided, however, that at the Company’s discretion, a Participant who is not subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may provide notice to the Company prior to the delivery of the Shares that the Participant will make payment to the Company on the date of delivery to satisfy all required withholding taxes in lieu of satisfying such obligation through the withholding of Shares.
(b)The Participant acknowledges that no election under Section 83(b) of the Code may be filed with respect to this Award.
10.No Right To Employment or Other Status. The grant of an award of RSUs shall not be construed as giving the Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates expressly reserve the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with the Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.
11.Conflicts With Other Agreements. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any employment, severance, or other agreement between the Company and the Participant, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
12.Governing Law. Except as provided in Addendum A, this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws and in the event of a dispute related to or arising out of this Agreement, the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Delaware federal and Chancery Courts.
13.Unfunded Rights. The right of the Participant to receive Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement is an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. The Participant shall have no rights under this Agreement other than those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
14.Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement is intended to provide for deferred compensation that is exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted consistently with such intent. Accordingly, the Participant shall have no right to
designate the taxable year of payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if and to the extent any portion of any payment under this Agreement to the Participant is payable upon the Participant’s separation from service and the Participant is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determination the Participant (through accepting the Award) agrees that the Participant is bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit shall not be paid before the day that is six (6) months plus one (1) day after the date of “separation from service”, except as Section 409A of the Code may then permit.
The Company makes no representations or warranties and shall have no liability to the Participant or any other person if any provisions of or payments, compensation or other benefits under this Agreement are determined to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy the conditions of that section.
15.Clawback. In accepting this Award, the Participant expressly agrees to be bound by, and subject to, the following clawback policy and any clawback policy that the Company has in effect (as the same may be amended from time to time) or may adopt in the future:
(a)The Award is intended to align the Participant’s long-term interests with those of the Company. Accordingly, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or any other applicable agreement, plan, or policy, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may terminate any unsettled RSUs, whether vested or unvested (“Termination”), recapture any Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs (“Recapture”), or require the Participant to reimburse the Company for any and all amounts realized from the acquisition or disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs (“Reimbursement”), upon the occurrence of any of the following events (collectively, the “Conditions”):
(i)the Participant has engaged in misuse of the Company’s confidential information and/or conduct in breach of any (A) confidentiality obligation to the Company under any agreement between the Company and the Participant, or any policy or plan of the Company, including but not limited to, the Company’s standard form of Information and Invention Agreement applicable to such Participant, or (B) applicable noncompetition or nonsolicitation obligation to the Company under any applicable agreement between the Company and the Participant, or any policy or plan of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s standard form of Noncompetition Agreement applicable to such Participant; or
(ii)the Participant's employment or other service has been terminated for Cause; or
(iii)during the Participant’s employment or other service, the Participant (A) has rendered services to or otherwise directly or indirectly engaged in or assisted, any organization or business that, in the judgment of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, is against the interest of the Company or one of its affiliates; or (B) has engaged in activities that are materially prejudicial to or in conflict with the interests of the Company, including any breaches of fiduciary duty or the duty of loyalty.
For purposes of this Section 15, “RSU Benefits” shall mean any and all amounts realized from the acquisition or disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs, including any sales proceeds, dividends and/or dividend equivalents.
(b)Prior to the issuance of any Shares upon settlement of vested RSUs pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant shall, if requested in writing by the Company, certify on a form acceptable to the Company that the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and with the obligations contained in the Plan, or any other relevant agreement, plan, or contract listed in Section 15(a).
(c)Within ten (10) calendar days after receiving notice from the Company of any such activity described in Section 15(a) of this Agreement, the Participant shall either deliver to the Company the applicable Shares or make a cash payment to the Company equal to the RSU Benefits. For purposes of the Company’s exercise of its Recapture and/or Reimbursement rights hereunder, the Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Participant’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third-party administrator engaged by the Company to hold Shares and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company.
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 15, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, choose to refrain from exercising its rights of Termination, Recapture and/or Reimbursement with respect to any particular act of the Participant or with respect to any other participant in the Plan, and its determination to refrain from exercising such rights shall not in any way reduce or eliminate the Company’s authority to exercise its rights of Termination, Recapture and/or Reimbursement with respect to any other act of the Participant. Nothing in this Section 15 shall be construed to impose obligations on the Participant to refrain from engaging in lawful competition with the Company after the termination of employment that does not violate the Conditions, other than any obligations that are part of any applicable separate agreement between the Company and the Participant or that arise under applicable law.
(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company shall not seek to exercise its rights of Termination, Recapture or Reimbursement relating to any RSUs that were vested and settled more than twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Participant’s act or omission set forth in Section 15(a); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all RSUs shall be subject to the Company’s rights of Termination, Recapture and/or Reimbursement to the extent required by applicable law, including but not limited to Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

EXHIBIT A
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.Award of Restricted Stock Units.
This Agreement (including the Notice of Award) sets forth the terms and conditions of an award on the Award Date set forth in the Notice of Award, by the Company to the Participant of that number of restricted stock units of the Company set forth in the Notice of Award (individually, an “RSU” and collectively, the “RSUs” or the “Award”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock, $1.00 par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) pursuant to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as from time to time amended (the “Plan”). The number of RSUs set forth in the Notice of Award is referred to as the “Target Award.” Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.
2.Vesting Schedule.
Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (b) through (f) of Section 3 and the Plan, the RSUs shall vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice of Award and Schedule A below, provided that on the Vesting Date (as defined in Schedule A), the Participant is, and has been at all times since the Award Date, an employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) (an “Eligible Participant”). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant shall continue to be an Eligible Participant upon a change in the employment or service relationship (e.g. a change from employee to a director).
3.Additional Vesting Provisions.
(a)Termination of Relationship with the Company. In the event that the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant for any reason other than those set forth in paragraphs (b) through (f) below before the Vesting Date, the RSUs that have not previously vested shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.
(b)Death or Disability. In the event that the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of death or Disability prior to the end of the Performance Period (as defined in Schedule A), 100% of the Target Award shall vest upon the date of such termination. In the event that such termination occurs on or after the last day of the Performance Period but prior to the Vesting Date, the greater of 100% of the Target Award and the number of RSUs that would vest based on actual performance as set forth in Schedule A shall vest on the Vesting Date.
(c)Discharge without Cause or for Good Reason. In the event that the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant after the last day of the Company’s fiscal quarter in which this Award was granted and prior to the Vesting Date either by the Company without “Cause” (as defined in Section 1.2 of the 2009 Restatement of Executive Severance Agreement between the Company and the Participant dated November 21, 2009, as may be amended from time to time (the “Severance Agreement”)) or by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined in Section 1.4 of the Severance Agreement), and such termination does not entitle the Participant to severance benefits under the Executive Change in Control Retention Agreement between the Company and the
Participant dated November 21, 2009, as may be amended from time to time (the “CIC Agreement”), then a number of the RSUs shall vest immediately upon the date of such cessation in an amount equal to the number of RSUs that would vest based on actual performance as set forth on Schedule A, but defining the Performance Period as the period commencing on January 1, 2026 and ending on the date the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant, prorated (based on the ratio of (x) the number of days that have elapsed in the Performance Period to (y) the total number of days in the original Performance Period as defined on Schedule A), and the remaining RSUs shall be forfeited for no consideration and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect thereto.
(d)Change in Control Event. Upon a Change in Control Event during the Performance Period pursuant to which the RSUs either remain outstanding or are assumed by the acquiring or succeeding entity, the RSUs shall convert into a number of time-vesting restricted stock units (“Time-Vesting RSUs”) equal to the greater of 100% of the Target Award and the number of RSUs that would vest based on actual performance as set forth in Schedule A, but defining the Performance Period as the period commencing on January 1, 2026 and ending on the date immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control Event. Any RSUs that do not convert into Time-Vesting RSUs pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be forfeited for no consideration upon the consummation of the Change in Control Event and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect thereto. The Time-Vesting RSUs shall vest on the Vesting Date, provided that the Participant continues to be an Eligible Participant through such date; provided further however that in the event that the Participant’s ceases to be an Eligible Participant as a result of a termination of his employment by the Company without “Cause” (as defined in Section 1.3 of the CIC Agreement) or by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined in Section 1.4 of the CIC Agreement), then 100% of the Time-Vesting RSUs shall vest immediately upon such termination. Upon a Change in Control Event occurring during the Performance Period pursuant to which the RSUs do not remain outstanding and/or are not assumed or converted by the acquiring or succeeding entity, the greater of 100% of the Target Award and the number of RSUs that would vest based on actual performance as set forth on Schedule A, but defining the Performance Period as the period commencing on January 1, 2026 and ending on the date immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control Event, shall vest immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control Event and any RSUs that do not vest pursuant to this sentence shall be forfeited for no consideration upon the consummation of the Change in Control Event and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect thereto. Upon a Change in Control Event occurring after the end of the Performance Period but before the Vesting Date, the greater of 100% of the Target Award and the number of RSUs that would vest based on actual performance as set forth on Schedule A shall vest on the Vesting Date.
(e)Retirement. If the Participant Retires from the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) after the first anniversary of the Award Date, the Participant shall continue to be eligible to vest in the RSUs or Time-Vesting RSUs, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of Schedule A or Section 4(d) hereof, as the case may be, as if he were still employed through the Vesting Date.
(f)Discharge for Cause. In the event that the Participant is discharged by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) for “Cause” (as defined in Section 1.2 of the Severance Agreement), all unvested RSUs and all vested RSUs that have not been delivered in accordance with Section 4
below shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such discharge. The Participant shall be considered to have been discharged for Cause if the Company determines, within thirty (30) days after the Participant’s resignation, that discharge for Cause was warranted.
4.Delivery of Shares.
(a)Except as provided in (b) below, the Company shall deliver the Shares that become issuable pursuant to the Award within the sixty (60) day period following the date the RSUs vest pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 above, but in no event later than the last day of the period specified in Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(A).
(b)In the event that the Participant Retires under the conditions of Section 3(e) above, the Company shall deliver the Shares that become issuable pursuant to an RSU, to the extent not previously delivered, within the sixty (60) day period following the date such RSUs would have vested had the Participant remained employed with the Company.
(c)The Company shall not be obligated to deliver Shares to the Participant unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and other legal requirements including, without limitation, any applicable federal or state securities laws and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may then be listed.
5.Meaning and Use of Certain Terms.
For purposes of this Agreement,
(a)“Change in Control Event” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Plan.
(b)“Disability” or “Disabled.” A Participant shall be deemed to be disabled at such time as the Participant is receiving disability benefits under the Company’s (or a Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s) long term disability coverage, as then in effect; provided however that the Participant shall not be treated as Disabled unless the disability is described under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

For purposes of this Agreement and for the sake of clarity, subject to execution of a release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company, the Participant may seek to re-characterize any termination of employment initiated by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) that is not a termination for “Cause” (as defined in Section 1.2 of the Severance Agreement) as a voluntary termination by reason of Retirement, in which case the Participant shall not be entitled to receive any severance or other benefits that would have otherwise been provided
by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) to the Participant pursuant to any agreement between the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) and the Participant or any Company policy. Any such determination shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(d)“Subsidiary” or “Affiliate” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Plan, and shall for the avoidance of doubt include any such entity only so long as the Company maintains a controlling interest in such entity.

The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively “transfer”) any RSUs, or any interest therein, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Upon delivery of Shares pursuant to Section 4 above, the Participant for two years thereafter shall not transfer more than 50% of the actual net Shares delivered (after withholding for the payment of taxes); provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to a termination of the Participant’s employment under paragraphs (b), (c), (d), or (e) of Section 3 above. The Participant acknowledges that any stock certificates or other evidence of ownership of RSUs or Shares may bear a restrictive legend evidencing any applicable transfer restrictions.
7.Provisions of the Plan.
This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this Agreement.
8.Dividends; Other Corporate Transactions.
(a)If at any time during the period between the Award Date and the date that Shares are delivered after the RSU vests, the Company pays a dividend or other distribution with respect to its Common Stock, including without limitation a distribution of shares of the Company’s stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise, then on the date the Shares issuable upon vesting of the RSU are delivered, the Company shall pay the Participant, at the time of delivery of Shares pursuant to Section 4, the dividend or other distribution that would have been paid on such Shares if the Participant had owned such Shares during the period beginning on the Award Date and ending on the delivery date. No dividend or other distribution shall be paid with respect to RSUs that are forfeited.
(b)In the event of a Reorganization Event, then the rights of the Company under this Agreement and all other terms of this Agreement (including without limitation vesting provisions) shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor and shall apply to the cash, securities, or other property which the Common Stock was converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such Reorganization Event in the same manner and to the same extent as they applied to the Shares. Such cash, securities, or other property shall be delivered or paid at the time provided in Section 4, except that payments in connection with the liquidation of the Company shall be made only as permitted under Section 409A of the Code.
(c)Except as set forth in Section 8(a) or (b) above and in the Plan, neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant shall be, or have any rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of the Shares issuable pursuant to the RSUs granted hereunder until the Shares have been delivered to the Participant.
9.Withholding Taxes; No Section 83(b) Election.
(a)The Participant expressly acknowledges that the delivery of Shares to the Participant will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding and Participant hereby authorizes the Company to hold back from the Shares to be delivered pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement that number of Shares (which may include fractional shares) calculated to satisfy all such federal, state, local or other applicable taxes required to be withheld in connection with such delivery of Shares; provided, however, that at the Company’s discretion, a Participant who is not subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may provide notice to the Company prior to the delivery of the Shares that the Participant will make payment to the Company on the date of delivery to satisfy all required withholding taxes in lieu of satisfying such obligation through the withholding of Shares.
(b)The Participant acknowledges that no election under Section 83(b) of the Code may be filed with respect to this Award.
10.No Right To Employment or Other Status. The grant of an award of RSUs shall not be construed as giving the Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(i)the Participant has engaged in misuse of the Company’s confidential information and/or conduct in breach of any (A) confidentiality obligation to the Company under any agreement between the Company and the Participant, or any policy or plan of the Company, including but not limited to, the Company’s standard form of Information and Invention Agreement applicable to such Participant, or (B) applicable noncompetition or nonsolicitation obligation to the Company under any applicable agreement between the Company and the Participant, or any policy or plan of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s standard form of Noncompetition Agreement applicable to such Participant;
(ii)the Participant has been discharged by the Company (or a Subsidiary or Affiliate) for “Cause” (as defined in Section 1.2 of the Severance Agreement); or
(iii)during the Participant’s employment or other service, the Participant (A) has rendered services to or otherwise directly or indirectly engaged in or assisted, any organization or business that, in the judgment of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, is against the interest of the Company or one of its affiliates; or (B) has engaged in activities that are materially
prejudicial to or in conflict with the interests of the Company, including any breaches of fiduciary duty or the duty of loyalty.
For purposes of this Section 15, “RSU Benefits” shall mean any and all amounts realized from the acquisition or disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to the RSUs, including any sales proceeds, dividends and/or dividend equivalents.
(b)Prior to the issuance of any Shares upon settlement of vested RSUs pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant shall, if requested in writing by the Company, certify on a form acceptable to the Company that the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and with the obligations contained in the Plan, or any other relevant agreement, plan, or contract listed in Section 15(a).
(c)Within ten (10) calendar days after receiving notice from the Company of any such activity described in Section 15(a) of this Agreement, the Participant shall either deliver to the Company the applicable Shares or make a cash payment to the Company equal to the RSU Benefits. For purposes of the Company’s exercise of its Recapture and/or Reimbursement rights hereunder, the Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Participant’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third-party administrator engaged by the Company to hold Shares and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company.
(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 15, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, choose to refrain from exercising its rights of Termination, Recapture and/or Reimbursement with respect to any particular act of the Participant or with respect to any other participant in the Plan, and its determination to refrain from exercising such rights shall not in any way reduce or eliminate the Company’s authority to exercise its rights of Termination, Recapture and/or Reimbursement with respect to any other act of the Participant. Nothing in this Section 15 shall be construed to impose obligations on the Participant to refrain from engaging in lawful competition with the Company after the termination of employment that does not violate the Conditions, other than any obligations that are part of any applicable separate agreement between the Company and the Participant or that arise under applicable law.
(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company shall not seek to exercise its rights of Termination, Recapture or Reimbursement relating to any RSUs that were vested and settled more than twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Participant’s act or omission set forth in Section 15(a); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all RSUs shall be subject to the Company’s rights of Termination, Recapture and/or Reimbursement to the extent required by applicable law, including but not limited to Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
As a condition to the grant of this Award, the Participant by signing below acknowledges receipt and affirmatively agrees to the Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of the above General Terms and Conditions.
