Any costs or expenses incurred with the foregoing shall constitute SpinCo Assumed Employee Liabilities.

(b)During the period, if any, between the Separation Time and the 401(k) Plan Commencement Date, each SpinCo Participant shall continue to remain eligible to participate in the Parent 401(k) Plan, subject to the terms of such plan. Effective as of the 401(k) Plan Commencement Date, each SpinCo Participant, other than a Former SpinCo Employee, who actively participates in the Parent 401(k) Plan as of immediately prior to such date (i) will cease active participation in the Parent 401(k) Plan and (ii) will become eligible to participate in the SpinCo 401(k) Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) all employee pre-tax deferrals and employer contributions with respect to such active SpinCo Participants will be made to the SpinCo 401(k) Plan on and following such date and (B) any Former SpinCo Employees under the Parent 401(k) Plan as of immediately prior to such date will not become eligible to participate in the SpinCo 401(k) Plan in accordance with this Section 5.01(b) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, will continue participation under the Parent 401(k) Plan, subject to the terms of the Parent 401(k) Plan) unless and to the extent they become a Delayed Transfer Employee.

The transfer of assets will be in cash or in kind (as determined by Parent) and will be made in accordance with applicable Law, including the Code and ERISA.

Instead, on or as soon as reasonably practicable following the applicable Delayed Transfer Date, such Delayed Transfer Employee will be eligible to elect a distribution of his or her account balance under the Parent 401(k) Plan, including a voluntary “rollover distribution” of such Delayed Transfer Employee's eligible account balance under the Parent 401(k) Plan to either the SpinCo 401(k) Plan or an Individual Retirement Account (or, for the avoidance of doubt, such Delayed Transfer Employee may otherwise continue to maintain his or her account under the Parent 401(k) Plan in accordance with the terms of the Parent 401(k) Plan), as determined by each such Delayed Transfer Employee; provided that any portion of such Delayed Transfer Employee's account balance under the Parent 401(k) Plan (including participant loans) to be “rolled over” to the SpinCo 401(k) Plan shall be done in the form of cash (i.e., no in-kind transfers will be permitted) except, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to promissory notes evidencing participant loans. In the event that a Delayed Transfer Employee elects to roll over his or her account balance from the Parent 401(k) Plan to the SpinCo 401(k) Plan, (i) Parent and SpinCo shall cooperate in good faith to take any and all commercially reasonable efforts needed to permit each applicable Delayed Transfer Employee with an outstanding loan balance under the Parent 401(k) Plan as of the applicable Delayed Transfer Date to continue to make scheduled loan payments to the Parent 401(k) Plan after such date, pending the distribution and rollover of the promissory notes evidencing such participant loans from the Parent 401(k) Plan to the SpinCo 401(k) Plan, as provided in this Section 5.01(d), so as to prevent, to the extent reasonably possible, a deemed distribution or loan offset with respect to such outstanding participant loans and (ii) SpinCo agrees to cause the SpinCo 401(k) Plan to accept such rollover (including participant loans), to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(e)For the avoidance of doubt, all Liabilities under the Parent 401(k) Plan relating to Parent Participants and Former SpinCo Employees, including with respect to participant loans, will be retained by Parent and the Parent 401(k) Plan and will constitute Parent Retained Employee Liabilities.

(f)Effective as of the applicable 401(k) Plan Commencement Date, with respect to U.S. SpinCo Participants who become eligible to participate in the SpinCo 401(k) Plan as of the applicable Benefits Commencement Date in accordance with Section 5.01(b), the parties will cooperate in good faith and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the SpinCo 401(k) Plan to recognize and maintain such U.S. SpinCo Participant’s elections (to the extent applicable and reasonable), including payment form elections, beneficiary designations, and the rights of alternate payees under qualified domestic relations orders in effect under the Parent

401(k) Plan as of immediately prior to the 401(k) Plan Commencement Date, subject to the terms of the SpinCo 401(k) Plan and applicable Law.

(h)Prior to the 401(k) Plan Commencement Date, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to determine the allocation (if any) between the Parent 401(k) Plan and the SpinCo 401(k) Plan of the forfeiture account balance under the Parent 401(k) Plan outstanding as of immediately prior to the 401(k) Plan Commencement Date and, to the extent applicable, the mechanics for transferring the applicable allocable portion of such account from the Parent 401(k) Plan to the SpinCo 401(k) Plan.

(a)Each SpinCo Participant participating in any Parent Plan or SpinCo Plan that is a cash bonus or cash incentive plan (including, without limitation, any sales incentive plan) with respect to the 2021 performance year (each, a “2021 Bonus Plan”) will remain eligible to receive a cash bonus in respect of the 2021 performance year (or any applicable 2021 quarterly performance period under any sales incentive or similar plan, as the case may be) (collectively, the “2021 Cash Bonuses”) in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of such applicable 2021 Bonus Plan (including any necessary or appropriate adjustments made to reflect the Separation Time), as determined by the Parent Compensation Committee. Following the end of the 2021 performance year, the Parent Compensation Committee (or its delegate) will certify achievement of the performance goals under the 2021 Bonus Plans in the ordinary course of business (including as to the timing of such certification) and in accordance with the terms of such 2021 Bonus Plans and shall determine the 2021 Cash Bonuses payable to the SpinCo Participants (the date of such certification, the “2021 Bonus Certification Date”). Following the Separation Time, the Company shall pay the 2021 Cash Bonuses to the SpinCo Participants on behalf of Parent in accordance with the terms of the applicable 2021 Bonus Plans (including terms relating to the timing of payment), to the extent not paid prior to the Separation Time, in an amount no less than the 2021 Aggregate Cash Bonus Amount (which shall be communicated by Parent to the Company prior to the Separation Time). For purposes of this Agreement, the “2021 Aggregate Cash Bonus Amount” shall mean an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all such 2021 Cash Bonuses actually payable to SpinCo Participants or, if the Separation Time occurs prior to the 2021 Bonus Certification Date, the 2021 Aggregate Cash Bonus Amount shall be equal to Parent’s good faith estimate as of the Separation Time of the aggregate amount of the 2021 Cash Bonuses that Parent expects will become payable to all SpinCo Participants under the 2021 Bonus Plans, in each case together with the employer portion of any applicable payroll, employment and similar taxes thereon. The 2021 Aggregate Cash Bonus Amount shall constitute a Parent Retained Employee Liability, and shall be fully satisfied by Parent prior to the Separation Time in such manner as reasonably determined by Parent in good faith.

(b)For the 2022 performance year (and, to the extent applicable, any performance years thereafter), (i) SpinCo Participants will not be eligible to participate in any Parent Plan that is a cash bonus or cash incentive plan (including, without limitation, any sales incentive plan) and (ii) SpinCo or another member of the SpinCo Group will establish one or more cash bonus or cash incentive plans for SpinCo Participants (each, a “SpinCo Bonus Plan”). The terms and conditions of the SpinCo Bonus Plans (including the applicable performance metrics) with respect to the 2022 performance year (and any performance year thereafter) will be established by the SpinCo Board (or an applicable committee or delegate thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts payable under any SpinCo Bonus Plans (including with respect to the 2022 performance year) shall constitute SpinCo Assumed Employee Liabilities.

Section 7.02.B+L Separation Bonuses. Each SpinCo Participant who, as of immediately prior to the Separation Time, is eligible to receive a cash bonus award under the Bausch + Lomb Separation Bonus Opportunity program, regardless of when payable (the “Covered Bonus Awards”), will remain eligible to receive his or her Covered Bonus Award following the Separation Time in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, the applicable agreement or program, as applicable; provided that such SpinCo Participant’s continued employment with the SpinCo Group following the Separation Time shall count towards satisfying any continuous employment requirement applicable to any such Covered Bonus Award. Any Covered Bonus Award that becomes payable to SpinCo Participants following the Separation Time will be paid by SpinCo on behalf of Parent in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement or program (including terms relating to the timing of payment); provided, further, that 100% of the aggregate amount of such Covered Bonus Awards payable to SpinCo Participants (and the employer portion of any applicable payroll, employment and similar taxes thereon) shall constitute a Parent Retained Employee Liability.

(iii)with respect to the SpinCo PRSUs issued hereunder, the Parent Board (or the Parent Compensation Committee) shall determine and promptly communicate to SpinCo the extent to which the performance conditions applicable to such SpinCo PRSUs have been satisfied in good faith as of the end of the performance period applicable to such SpinCo RSUs and in the same manner as such determination is made with respect to the performance conditions applicable to the corresponding Parent PRSUs (as set forth in the applicable award agreements as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date), and to the extent that the Parent Board (or the Parent Compensation Committee) approves any positive discretionary adjustments to payout levels with respect to any Annual Measurement Period (as defined in the applicable award agreements) to be applied to the corresponding Parent PRSUs (“Positive Discretionary Adjustments”) such Positive Discretionary Adjustments when applied to the SpinCo PRSUs will not result in a payout level greater than 100% for the Annual Measurement Period. For the avoidance of doubt any Positive Discretionary Adjustments made to any Annual Measurement Period of the Parent PRSUs resulting in achievement over 100% for the Annual Measurement Period which are capped at 100% for the

corresponding Annual Measurement Period of the SpinCo PRSUs pursuant to the preceding sentence shall in no way cap the payout levels applied to any aggregate Annual Measurement Periods (including Adjusted Operating Cash Flow Performance Goal Achievement Percentage (as set forth in the applicable award agreements)) if the performance payout levels with respect to such other or aggregate Annual Measurement Periods is above 100% without applying Positive Discretionary Adjustment. Any Positive Discretionary Adjustments to any total shareholder return performance modifier when applied to any SpinCo PRSUs shall not result in a payout level greater than 100% with respect to SpinCo PRSUs.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the conversion pursuant to this Section 8.02(a) of each applicable Parent RSU, Parent PRSU and Parent Deferred RSU held by an individual that is a resident of Canada for purposes of the ITA, or is held by an individual who is not a resident of Canada for purposes of the ITA and who was granted the Parent Award in respect of, in the course of, or by virtue of duties of any office or employment performed in Canada (each, a “Canadian Participant”) shall be effectuated by (i) such Canadian Participant continuing to hold Parent RSUs, Parent PRSUs and Parent Deferred RSUs with respect to the same target number of Parent Common Shares as such Canadian Participant held immediately prior to the Distribution Date and (ii) such Canadian Participant receiving a “Converted Award” under the SpinCo Equity Plan in the form of SpinCo RSUs or SpinCo PRSUs, as applicable, with respect to a target number of Resulting Entity Common Shares determined by multiplying (x) the target number of the Parent Common Shares subject to the corresponding Parent RSU, Parent PRSU or Parent Deferred RSU, as applicable, immediately prior to the Distribution Date by (y) the Basket Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share (provided that the number of Resulting Entity Common Shares that may ultimately be delivered upon vesting and settlement of the SpinCo PRSUs will in no event exceed the maximum performance payout level applicable to the corresponding Parent PRSUs).

Each such Adjusted Parent RSU or Adjusted Parent PRSU shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and payment schedules and, if applicable, performance-based vesting conditions and deferral elections) as applicable to the corresponding Parent RSU or Parent PRSU as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any Parent PRSUs for which the applicable performance period is not yet complete or deemed complete as of the Distribution Date, the Parent Compensation Committee shall make such equitable adjustments to the applicable performance goals in light of the impact of the Distribution on such performance goals, as determined in the discretion of the Parent Compensation Committee in accordance with the terms of the Parent Equity Plan and the applicable award agreements thereunder.

each such case for purposes of the Parent Equity Plan or the SpinCo Equity Plan for any Adjusted Parent Award or SpinCo Award, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent Parent determines it necessary or desirable, each Parent RSU, Parent PRSU or Parent Option, as the case may be, shall be amended to expressly clarify the same.

Notwithstanding any prior practice between the Groups or anything to the contrary herein, as of the effective date of the amendment, no member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group shall be required to reimburse the other Group for any Tax-Related Obligations incurred by such other Group pursuant to this Section 8.06(f), regardless of whether such Tax-Related Obligations relate to any Adjusted Parent Awards or SpinCo Awards.

The parties will cooperate and communicate in order to facilitate the “sell-to-cover” procedures with the applicable brokerage.

(g)The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate form with respect to the Resulting Entity Common Shares subject to the Parent Awards converted into SpinCo Awards pursuant to this Article VIII and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement covering such SpinCo Awards (and to maintain the current status of the prospectus contained therein) for so long as any such SpinCo Awards remain outstanding.

(h)Prior to the Distribution Time, each party shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Parent Common Shares (including Parent Awards or any other derivative securities with respect to Parent Common Shares) or acquisitions of Resulting Entity Common Shares (including SpinCo Awards or any other derivative securities with respect to Resulting Entity Common Shares) resulting from the Distribution or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Master Separation Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Parent or who are or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. With respect to those individuals, if any, who, subsequent to the Distribution Date, are or become subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, the Company shall administer any Parent Award converted into a SpinCo Award pursuant to this Article VIII in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to the extent such converted Parent Award complied with such rule prior to the Distribution Date.

(i)From and after the Distribution Date, each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the orderly administration of the Adjusted Parent Awards and SpinCo Awards held by Parent Participants, SpinCo Participants, Parent Directors, SpinCo Directors and Dual Directors, as applicable, including, without limitation, the sharing of information relating to such individuals’ employment or service status with the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group, as applicable, as well as other information relating to the vesting and forfeiture of Adjusted Parent Awards or SpinCo Awards, tax withholding and reporting and compliance with applicable Law.

(j)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all adjustments to Parent Awards contemplated by this Article VIII shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Parent Equity Plan and, to the extent applicable, in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and other applicable tax laws (including the ITA).

(k)For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the adjustments described in Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 reflect the adjustments that shall be made to the Parent Awards that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date, as a result of, and after giving effect to, the consummation of all of the transactions, in the aggregate, that collectively constitute the Distribution, as detailed in the Plan of Arrangement and the Master Separation Agreement and (ii) for purposes of the treatment of outstanding equity incentive awards set forth in this Article VIII, an individual’s employment status with respect to the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group, as the case may be, including whether such individual is a current or former employee thereof, shall be determined by reference to such individual’s applicable employment status as of immediately prior to the Distribution.

(l)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, in no event shall the definition of the “Basket Ratio” (or any terms incorporated therein) be amended or in any way altered or modified unless mutually agreed in writing by Parent and SpinCo.

Section 8.07.Effectiveness of Amendment. The amendments to the Prior Agreement that are reflected in Sections 8.02 and 8.03 are subject to the applicable regulatory approvals discussed between the parties prior to the date hereof.

Section 11.07.Fiduciary Matters. Parent and the Company each acknowledge that actions required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to fiduciary duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other applicable Law, and no party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if it fails to comply with any provisions hereof based upon its good faith determination (as supported by advice from counsel experienced in such matters) that to do so would violate such a fiduciary duty or standard.

If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of such third party to consent, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner.
