Performance Stock Unit Agreement
Performance Stock Units |
This Agreement evidences an award of Performance Stock Units in the number set forth on the cover sheet and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and the Plan. Subject to satisfaction of the time-based vesting requirement set forth below, the number of shares of Stock, if any, that may be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be calculated based on the attainment, as determined by the Committee, of the performance goals described in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Performance Goals”) over the Performance Period set forth on the cover sheet, which number of shares of Stock may be equal to all or a portion, including none, of the Maximum Number of Performance Stock Units set forth on the cover sheet. If the Performance Goals are not achieved during the Performance Period at a vesting percentage (as described on Exhibit A) in excess of zero, you will forfeit all of your unvested Performance Stock Units as of the end of the Performance Period, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. |
Performance Stock Unit Transferability
|
Prior to the Settlement Date (as defined below), your Performance Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may the Performance Stock Units be made subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. If you attempt to do any of these things, you will immediately and automatically forfeit your Performance Stock Units. |

In the event that the Company or any Affiliate determines that any federal, state, local, or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the Performance Stock Units, or the issuance of shares of Stock with respect to the Performance Stock Units, the Company or any Affiliate will have the right to (i) require you to tender a cash payment, (ii) deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to you, (iii) permit or require you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares of Stock to be delivered in connection with the Performance Stock Units to satisfy withholding obligations and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the withholding obligations directly to the Company or any Affiliate, or (iv) withhold the delivery of vested shares of Stock otherwise deliverable under this Agreement to meet such obligations; provided, however, that (x) the shares of Stock so withheld will have an aggregate Fair Market Value not exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by Applicable Law and (y) in the event that you are subject to any tax withholding on a date prior to the Settlement Date, clauses (iii) and (iv) shall not be available as a means of satisfying such tax withholding obligations. |

This Agreement and the Performance Stock Units evidenced by this Agreement do not give you the right to be retained by the Company or any Affiliate in any capacity. The Company or any Affiliate, as applicable, reserves the right to terminate your Service with the Company or an Affiliate at any time and for any reason. |
Shareholder Rights |
You have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the Performance Stock Units unless and until the Stock relating to the Performance Stock Units has been delivered to you.

Clawback |
The Performance Stock Units are subject to mandatory repayment by you to the Company to the extent you are or in the future become subject to any Company “clawback” or recoupment policy or Applicable Laws that require the repayment by you to the Company of compensation paid by the Company to you in the event that you fail to comply with, or violate, the terms or requirements of such policy or Applicable Laws.

Exhibit A
Performance Stock Unit Agreement
Performance Goals
The Performance Stock Units will vest based on the percentile rank of the common stock of the Company’s Performance Period TSR in relation to the Performance Period TSR of the Index Companies. Such percentile ranking will be determined by ordering the Index Companies (plus the Company if the Company is not one of the Index Companies) from highest to lowest based on Performance Period TSR and counting down from the company with the highest Performance Period TSR (ranked first) to the Company’s position on the list. (If two companies are ranked equally, the ranking of the next company shall account for the tie, so that if one company is ranked first, and two companies are tied for second, the next company is ranked fourth.) After this ranking, the Performance Period TSR percentile ranking will be calculated using the following formula, rounded to the nearest whole percentile by application of regular rounding:
Performance Period TSR percentile ranking = (N-R)/(N-1)*100
“N” represents the number of Index Companies for the Performance Period (plus one if the Company is not one of the Index Companies for the Performance Period).
“R” represents the Company’s ranking among the Index Companies (including the Company if the Company is not one of the Index Companies for the Performance Period).
For example, if there are 100 Index Companies (including the Company), and the Company ranked 40th, the Performance Period TSR percentile ranking would be the 61st percentile (61% = (100 – 40)/(100 – 1) * 100, rounded to the nearest whole percentile by application of regular rounding).
Achieved vesting percentages shall be as follows:
Company’s Performance Period
TSR Percentile RankVesting Percentage
Below 25th Percentile 0%
25th Percentile50% (Threshold)
30th Percentile60%
35th Percentile70%
40th Percentile80%
45th Percentile90%
50th Percentile |
100% (Target) |
55th Percentile |
120% |
60th Percentile |
140% |
65th Percentile |
160% |
70th Percentile |
180% |
75th Percentile or Greater |
200% (Maximum) |
In the event the Company’s Performance Period TSR percentile rank falls between any of the amounts set forth above (to the extent greater than the Threshold and lower than the Maximum), the vesting percentage shall be determined by linear interpolation between such amounts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in no event shall the vesting percentage exceed 100% if the Company’s Performance Period TSR is negative, and (ii) in no event shall the vesting percentage exceed an amount such that the product of the vesting percentage multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on [ ]2 is greater than five times the closing price of the Company’s common stock on [ ]3.
For purposes of this Exhibit A, the following capitalized terms shall mean as follows:
“Beginning Period Average Price” means the average official closing price per share of the respective company over the twenty consecutive trading days ending with and including the first day of the Performance Period.
“Ending Period Average Price” means the average official closing price per share of the respective company over the twenty consecutive trading days ending with and including the last day of the Performance Period.
“Index Companies” means companies that are included in the [ ]4 as of the beginning of the Performance Period, with the following adjustments:
|
i. |
In the event of a merger, acquisition or business combination transaction of an Index Company with or by another Index Company, the surviving entity shall remain an Index Company. |
|
ii. |
In the event of a merger of an Index Company with an entity that is not an Index Company, or the acquisition or business combination transaction by or with an Index Company, or with an entity that is not an Index Company, in each case where the Index Company is the surviving entity and remains publicly traded, the surviving entity shall remain an Index Company. |
|
iii. |
In the event of a merger or acquisition or business combination transaction of an Index Company by or with an entity that is not an Index Company, a “going private” transaction involving an Index Company or the liquidation of an Index Company, where the Index Company is not the surviving entity or is otherwise no longer publicly traded, the company shall no longer be an Index Company. |
|
iv. |
In the event of a bankruptcy of an Index Company, such company shall remain an Index Company (with such Index Company being deemed to have a Performance Period TSR of negative 100%). |
|
2 |
Insert performance period end date. |
3 |
Insert performance period beginning date. |
4 |
For grants made in 2018 or earlier, insert S&P Healthcare Select Index. For grants made in 2019 or later, insert S&P Healthcare Equipment Select Index. |
“Performance Period TSR” means total shareholder return as determined by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the Ending Period Average Price minus the Beginning Period Average Price plus (B) all dividends and other distributions paid on a company’s shares during the Performance Period by (ii) the Beginning Period Average Price. In calculating TSR, all dividends are assumed to have been reinvested in shares when paid. The Committee shall have the authority to make appropriate equitable adjustments to account for extraordinary items affecting a company’s Performance Period TSR.
