3. PAYMENTS

3.1 The Employee will receive her salary and contractual benefits as usual up to and including the Termination Date (less applicable tax and employee's National Insurance contributions), together with a payment in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday (if any) as at the Termination Date (less applicable tax and employee's National Insurance contributions).

and it is hereby agreed that with effect from 30 September 2017 all and any subsisting Awards (or any part of any such Awards) with a scheduled vesting date thereafter held by the Employee will lapse with immediate effect.

3.5 In addition, the Company will pay the Employee, without admission of liability, and subject to the deductions provided for in this Agreement, an amount equal to the Employee's current base annual salary (being £292,342.00) as the Compensation Payment. The Compensation Payment will be paid in 12 monthly instalments on or around the last working day of each calendar month commencing within 28 days of the Termination Date.

3.6 The Employee must submit any expenses claims on or before the Termination Date in the case of expenses incurred on or before the Termination Date and on or before the end of the Three Month Period in the case of expenses incurred during the Three Month Period and the Company will reimburse the Employee for any expenses properly incurred in the usual way, subject to compliance with the requirements of the Company's expenses policy. Any expenditure on the Company's credit card that was not properly incurred on the Company's business or for which the Employee cannot produce appropriate receipts may be deducted from the payment referred to in clause 3.4.1 above.

The Employee undertakes immediately to pay to the Company on demand any such Tax Liability other than any part of the Tax Liability already paid by the Employee to HM Revenue & Customs.

4.4 The Company will reimburse the Employee for the reasonable costs incurred by the Employee in obtaining tax planning or preparation services, up to a limit of £15,000 (including VAT, if applicable), provided such services are procured by the Employee by 30 April 2018 and the Employee’s claim for reimbursement is submitted reasonably promptly thereafter in accordance with the Company’s normal expense reimbursement policies.

4.5 The Company will in addition pay such amounts to the Employee as are sufficient to equalise the tax burden on the Employee as a result of share option exercises, in a manner consistent with the manner in which such payments have been made available to the Employee and certain other U.K.-based executives previously.

10. GENERAL

10.1 The parties consider that this Agreement satisfies the conditions regarding compromise agreements and settlement agreements and is a qualifying settlement agreement under the Equality Xxx 0000.

10.2 This Agreement sets out the entire agreement and understanding between the Employee and the Company and supersedes any prior agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that in entering into this Agreement no reliance is placed upon, and no remedy shall be available in respect of, any statement, representation, warranty, understanding, promise or assurance (whether negligently or innocently made) of any person (whether party to this Agreement or not) other than as expressly set out in this Agreement. Nothing in this clause operates to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

10.3 The failure to exercise or any delay in exercising a right or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law does not constitute a waiver of the right or remedy or a waiver of other rights or remedies. A waiver of a breach of any of the terms of this Agreement or a default under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any other breach or default and will not affect the other terms of this Agreement and will not prevent a party from subsequently requiring compliance with the waived obligation.

10.4 The validity, construction and performance of the terms set out in this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales. Each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

10.5 This Agreement, although marked "without prejudice/subject to contract", will upon signature by the parties and upon the Adviser signing the acknowledgement in Schedule 2 be treated (subject to clause 6) as an open document evidencing an agreement binding on the parties.

10.6 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties to it on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same

instrument. If the parties are executing by way of counterparts, the Agreement will not be effective until each party has executed at least one counterpart and it has been received by the other party and the Agreement has been dated by agreement between the representatives of the parties. For the avoidance of doubt, counterparts may be delivered to the other party by facsimile or by email in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).

SCHEDULE 4 OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN CATALENT PHARMA SOLUTIONS LIMITED AND XXXXXX XXXXXXX

Agreed reference

Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx held the position of Senior Vice President, Quality and Regulatory Affairs at Catalent Pharma Solutions from July 2009 to June 2017. During the period March 2015 to Sept 2016 she had the additional responsibility for Product Development. She also served on the Catalent’s Executive Leadership Team, reporting directly to Catalent’s CEO.

Catalent Pharma Solutions is a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation with 30+ sites globally, delivering 70 billion doses to patients and consumers annually for a customer base that includes the majority of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and consumer health companies.

During her tenure, Xxxxxx developed the “One Catalent” Quality Management System, established metrics and operating mechanisms to maintain focus on execution excellence and promoted inspection readiness for the multiple regulatory inspections and customer audits annually.

SCHEDULE 5 OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN CATALENT PHARMA SOLUTIONS LIMITED AND XXXXXX XXXXXXX

Agreed internal announcement

Team,

Six months ago we introduced our new Vision and Mission statements, along with our set of core Values , reflecting who we are, why we come to work, and how we go about our jobs. In many ways, our commitment to Quality is the heartbeat of Patient First.

Since joining the company in 2009, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx has worked tirelessly to transform the Quality culture at Catalent – simultaneously challenging the old ways of working and raising the bar on regulatory compliance and quality excellence among 1,500 professionals across 30 + sites globally. In any given year, we are subject to around 50 regulatory audits, and hundreds of customer and internal audits. Under Sharon’s leadership, our quality and regulatory track record has become a competitive differentiator for Catalent.

It’s therefore with a mix of pride and sadness that I announce Sharon’s decision to resign, allowing her to pursue new challenges in the form of her own personal goals and interests.

Please join me in wishing Xxxxxx the best and in thanking her for all she has done to cement Catalent’s commitment to patient safety.

That said, I’m pleased to share that Xxxxx Xxxxxxx has been promoted to the Executive Leadership Team as Senior Vice President of Quality & Regulatory Affairs, assuming Sharon’s responsibilities in leading the global quality team to ensure the safety of our products.

Xxxxx has worked with Xxxxxx since joining Catalent in 2012 as VP, Quality, most recently within our Drug Delivery Solutions business unit where he oversaw several leadership appointments in the US. He also served as interim VP of Product Development, in addition to his role in quality, while a permanent replacement was sought. As Xxxxx assumes his new leadership role, he will work closely with Xxxxxx through the end of the fiscal year, as well as with the Quality Leadership Team to ensure a smooth transition, continuing to drive quality excellence across our global sites.

Please join me in wishing Xxxxx much success in his new role.

Our customers rely on us to bring life-saving and life-enhancing products to patients who need them. Reflecting on our Values, I’m so proud of how far we’ve come as a company dedicated to patients, customers and our own people, and I’m confident that we are well-positioned to drive this legacy forward in our mission to develop and supply products that help people live better, healthier lives.
