Fortrea will be responsible for Liabilities and will cause the Fortrea Group to provide all compensation or benefits (whether statutory, contractual or otherwise) to each Non-U.S. Fortrea Employee arising from or related to the transactions contemplated by this Employee Matters Agreement, the Separation Agreement, or the other Transaction Documents, or the related transfer of the employee to Fortrea or a member of the Fortrea Group.

(c) Any employee who is employed by an entity that is or will, with effect from the Distribution Date, become a member of the Fortrea Group in a non-United States jurisdiction immediately prior to the Distribution, and who is required by applicable Law to transfer to a member of the Labcorp Group in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Employee Matters Agreement, the Separation Agreement or the Transaction Documents, will transfer automatically or by offer and acceptance, as applicable, on or prior to the Distribution Date to Labcorp or a member of the Labcorp Group in accordance with such applicable Law and will be deemed to be a Labcorp Employee and a Non-U.S. Labcorp Employee for the purposes of this Employee Matters Agreement. Substantially the provisions as set forth in Sections 3.02(a) and 3.02(b) between a Non-U.S Fortrea Employee and Fortrea or any member of the Fortrea Group, shall also apply to any Non-U.S. Labcorp Employee, transferred to a member of the Labcorp Group in accordance with this Section 3.02(c), and Labcorp or any member of the Labcorp Group.

LITIGATION AND COMPENSATION

Section 5.01 Employee-Related Litigation.

For the avoidance of doubt, a Pre-Distribution Action will be subject to Article IV of the Separation Agreement.

Section 5.02 Paid Leave. Subject to the terms of any applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement and except to the extent not permitted by applicable Law, Labcorp and Fortrea will cause the Fortrea Group to credit each Fortrea Employee with the amount of accrued and unpaid hours of paid leave, which may include, but is not limited to, vacation, personal days, occasional days, floating holidays and sick leave (together, the “Transferred Leave”) applicable to such Fortrea Employee as of, or prior to, the Distribution Date or the Applicable Transfer Date (as applicable).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any jurisdiction where payment of the value of accrued but unused paid leave to Fortrea Employees or Labcorp Employees is required by applicable Law as of the Distribution Date, Labcorp will pay, or cause to be paid, all Transferred Leave to all Labcorp Employees and Fortrea will pay, or cause to be paid, all Transferred Leave to all Fortrea Employees, in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Distribution Date.

ARTICLE 6
CERTAIN WELFARE BENEFIT PLAN MATTERS

For the avoidance of doubt Articles VI through IX of this Employee Matters Agreement do not apply to any non-U.S. employees unless stated otherwise.

Section 6.01 Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plans.

(a) The Labcorp Group and the Labcorp U.S. Plan that provides retiree welfare benefits to Former Fortrea Employees and Former Labcorp Employees (such plan, the “Labcorp Retiree Welfare Plan”) will retain responsibility, in accordance with the terms of the Labcorp Retiree Welfare Plan, for providing retiree welfare benefits to Former Fortrea Employees who, as of the Distribution Date, are enrolled in the Labcorp Retiree Welfare Plan or are eligible and have elected to participate in the Labcorp Retiree Welfare Plan (“Fortrea Retirees”), and the Labcorp Group and Labcorp Retiree Welfare Plan will remain responsible for all claims incurred by such Fortrea Retirees under the Labcorp Retiree Welfare Plan (whether incurred before, on, or after the Distribution Date). The Labcorp Group will also take action to amend the Labcorp Retiree Welfare Plan as necessary to provide future retiree welfare benefits to Fortrea Employees who would otherwise have been eligible to receive retiree welfare benefits on their future retirement but for the fact that they were not covered under an active Labcorp Group medical plan immediately prior to their retirement. The Labcorp Group and the Labcorp Retiree Welfare Plan will retain responsibility for providing the applicable benefits under the Labcorp Retiree Welfare Plan to Former Labcorp Employees and Labcorp Employees.

(b) Effective as of the U.S. Benefit Transition Date, Fortrea or a member of the Fortrea Group will establish certain plans that are group health or welfare benefit plans (such plans, the “Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plans”), which have terms and features (including benefit coverage options and employer contribution provisions, but excluding retiree welfare benefits) that are, to the greatest extent practicable substantially similar to the corresponding Labcorp Plans (such Labcorp Plans, the “Labcorp Welfare Plans”) such that (for the avoidance of doubt) each Labcorp Welfare Plan is, to the greatest extent practicable, substantially replicated by a corresponding Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plan, other than with respect to retiree welfare benefits. From and after the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date, Fortrea will cause each Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plan to cover those Fortrea Employees and their respective Plan Payees, who immediately prior to the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date were participating in, or entitled to present or future benefits under the corresponding Labcorp Welfare Plan.

-16-

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any severance benefits owed to any Labcorp Employee or Former Labcorp Employee under a U.S. Benefit Plan as a result of a termination of employment occurring on or prior to the Distribution Date, the Labcorp Group and the applicable Labcorp Welfare Plans will be solely responsible for all such severance benefits. With respect to any severance benefits owed to any Fortrea Employee or Former Fortrea Employee under a U.S. Benefit Plan as a result of a termination of employment occurring on or prior to the Distribution Date, Fortrea and the applicable Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plans will be solely responsible for all such severance benefits.

(d) The Fortrea Group and/or the Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plans (as applicable) will be solely responsible for all claims incurred by Fortrea Employees, Former Fortrea Employees and their Plan Payees under the Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plans before, on and after the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date. Except as specifically provided in this Employee Matters Agreement, effective as of the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date, Labcorp will cause Fortrea Employees and their Plan Payees to cease to be covered by the Labcorp Welfare Plans. The Labcorp Group and/or the Labcorp Welfare Plans will remain solely responsible for all claims incurred by Labcorp Employees, Former Labcorp Employees and their Plan Payees under the Labcorp Welfare Plans, whether incurred before, on, or after the Distribution Date.

(e) For purposes of this Section 6.01, a claim will be deemed “incurred” on the date that the event that gives rise to the claim occurs (for purposes of life insurance, severance, sickness, accident and disability programs) or on the date that treatment or services are provided (for purposes of health care programs).

Section 6.02 Continuation of Elections. As of the U.S. Benefit Transition Date, or Applicable Transfer Date, as applicable, Fortrea will cause the Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plans to recognize elections and designations (including, without limitation, all coverage and contribution elections and beneficiary designations, all continuation coverage and conversion elections, and all qualified medical child support orders and other orders issued by courts of competent jurisdiction) in effect with respect to the Fortrea Employees prior to the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or, if later, the Applicable Transfer Date, under the corresponding Labcorp Welfare Plans, to the extent such elections and designations and orders are applicable to such Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plan, and apply and maintain in force comparable elections and designations and orders under the Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plans for the remainder of the period or periods for which such elections or designations are by their original terms effective.

Section 6.03 Deductibles and Preexisting Conditions. As of the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date, Fortrea will cause the Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plans to recognize all amounts applied to deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums with respect to Fortrea Employees under the corresponding Labcorp Welfare Plan during the plan year in which the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or the Applicable Transfer Date (as applicable) occurs, and the Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plans

-17-

will not impose any limitations on coverage for preexisting conditions other than such limitations as were applicable under the corresponding Labcorp Welfare Plan prior to the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or the Applicable Transfer Date (as applicable).

Section 6.04 Workers’ Compensation. As of the U.S. Benefit Transition Date, the Labcorp Group will be solely responsible for all workers’ compensation benefits incurred under a workers’ compensation policy sponsored by the Labcorp Group and the Fortrea Group will be solely responsible for all workers’ compensation benefits incurred under a workers’ compensation policy sponsored by the Fortrea Group.

Section 6.05 Flexible Spending Account Treatment. With respect to the portion of a Labcorp Welfare Plan that consists of health care and dependent care flexible spending accounts (the “Labcorp Flexible Account Plan”), as of the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or the Applicable Transfer Date (as applicable), Fortrea will be solely responsible for all liabilities with respect to Fortrea Employees, and the applicable Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plan (the “Fortrea Flexible Account Plan”) will give effect to the elections of Fortrea Employees that were in effect under the corresponding Labcorp Flexible Account Plan as of the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date (as applicable). As soon as practicable following the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or the Applicable Transfer Date (as applicable), Labcorp will transfer to Fortrea in cash an amount equal to the total amount that Fortrea Employees have contributed to the Labcorp Flexible Account Plan through the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date for the calendar year that includes the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date less all amounts that have been paid from Labcorp Flexible Account Plan through the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date for health care and dependent care claims incurred by the Fortrea Employees in the calendar year that includes the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date (such difference, the “Flex Plan Amount”). If the Flex Plan Amount is less than $0, as soon as practicable after the U.S. Benefit Plan Transition Date or the Applicable Transfer Date (as applicable), Fortrea will transfer to Labcorp in cash an amount equal to all amounts that have been paid from the Labcorp Flexible Account Plan through the U.S. Benefit Plan Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date, as applicable, for health care expenses and dependent care claims incurred by the Fortrea Employees in the calendar year that includes the U.S. Benefit Plan Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date less the total amount that Fortrea Employees have contributed to the Labcorp Flexible Account Plan through the U.S. Benefit Plan Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date for the calendar year that includes the U.S. Benefit Plan Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date. After the U.S. Benefit Plan Transition Date or the Applicable Transfer Date (as applicable), the Fortrea Flexible Account Plan will be responsible for reimbursement of all previously unreimbursed health care expenses and dependent care claims incurred by Fortrea Employees, regardless of when the claims were incurred.

Section 6.06 Health Reimbursement Account Treatment. With respect to the portion of a Labcorp Welfare Plan that consists of health reimbursement arrangement accounts (the “Labcorp HRA Plan”), as of the U.S. Benefit Plan Transition Date or the Applicable Transfer Date (as applicable), Fortrea and the applicable Fortrea Spinoff

-18-

Welfare Plan (the “Fortrea HRA Plan”) will be solely responsible for all liabilities with respect to the accumulated account balances of Fortrea Employees in the Labcorp HRA Plan. As soon as practicable following the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or the Applicable Transfer Date (as applicable), Labcorp will transfer to Fortrea in cash an amount equal to the total unused account balance attributable to each Fortrea Employee in the Labcorp HRA Plan.

Section 6.07 COBRA. Effective as of the U.S. Benefit Plan Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date, Fortrea or a member of the Fortrea Group will assume or will cause the Fortrea Spinoff Welfare Plans to assume sole responsibility for compliance with COBRA after the U.S. Benefit Plan Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date for all Fortrea Employees (other than Fortrea Retirees), and their “qualified beneficiaries” for whom a “qualifying event” occurs after the U.S. Benefit Plan Transition Date or the Applicable Transfer Date; provided, however, that Labcorp or a member of the Labcorp Group will be responsible for furnishing any election notice required under COBRA to any Fortrea Transferee for any qualifying events occurring on or prior to the U.S. Benefit Plan Transition Date or the Applicable Transfer Date. Labcorp, the Labcorp Group, or a Labcorp Welfare Plan will remain solely responsible for compliance with COBRA before, on and after the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or Applicable Transfer Date for all Labcorp Employees, Former Labcorp Employees, Former Fortrea Employees, Fortrea Retirees and their “qualified beneficiaries”; provided, however, that Fortrea or a member of the Fortrea Group will be responsible for furnishing any election notice required under COBRA to any Labcorp Transferee for any qualifying events occurring on or after to the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or the Applicable Transfer Date. The terms “qualified beneficiaries” and “qualifying event” will have the meanings given to them under Code Section 4980B and ERISA Sections 601-608. The Fortrea Group shall reimburse the Labcorp Group for all Liabilities incurred by any member of the Labcorp Group with respect to providing COBRA coverage to any Fortrea Employees, Former Fortrea Employees (other than Fortrea Retirees) and their “qualified beneficiaries” after the Distribution Date, regardless of when the COBRA qualifying event occurred, to the extent such Liabilities are in excess of applicable COBRA premiums and not covered by any Labcorp stop-loss policy. The Labcorp Group shall invoice the Fortrea Group for such Liabilities on a monthly basis and the Fortrea Group shall reimburse the Labcorp Group for such Liabilities on a monthly basis in arrears.

Fortrea or a member of the Fortrea Group will be solely responsible for taking all necessary, reasonable, and appropriate actions (including the submission of the Fortrea Spinoff 401(k) Plan to the Internal Revenue Service for a determination of tax-qualified status, unless the Fortrea Spinoff 401(k) Plan is a preapproved or volume submitter plan) to establish, maintain and administer the Fortrea Spinoff 401(k) Plan so that it is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that the related trust thereunder is exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. The Fortrea Spinoff 401(k) Plan will assume liability for all benefits accrued or earned (whether or not vested) by Fortrea Employees under the Labcorp 401(k) Plan as of immediately prior to the U.S. Benefit Transition Date or the Applicable Transfer Date (as applicable).

Section 9.02 No Distributions on Separation. Labcorp and Fortrea acknowledge that neither the Distribution nor any of the other transactions contemplated by this Employee Matters Agreement, the Separation Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, in and of themselves, will trigger a payment or distribution of compensation under any U.S. Benefit Plan that is a nonqualified retirement plan for any Labcorp Employee, Fortrea Employee, Former Labcorp Employee, Former Fortrea Employee, Labcorp Director or Fortrea Director and, consequently, that the payment or distribution of any compensation to which any Labcorp Employee, Fortrea Employee, Former Labcorp Employee, Former Fortrea Employee, Labcorp Director or Fortrea Director is entitled under any such U.S. Benefit Plan will occur upon such individual’s separation from service from the Labcorp Group or the Fortrea Group, as applicable, or at such other time as specified in the applicable U.S. Benefit Plan.

Section 9.03 Section 409A.

ARTICLE 10
EQUITY PLANS

Section 10.01 Outstanding Labcorp Equity Awards.

-22-

(a) Each Labcorp Equity Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Distribution will be adjusted as described below, so that each Labcorp Equity Award held by a Labcorp Participant will be adjusted to be an Adjusted Labcorp Equity Award, and each Labcorp Equity Award held by a Fortrea Participant will be adjusted and converted into a Fortrea Equity Award, unless otherwise provided in this Section 10.01(a); provided, however, that, effective immediately prior to the Distribution, the CHC Committee (or such other committee of the Labcorp Board authorized by the Labcorp Board or such other delegate as authorized by the CHC Committee or such other committee) may provide for different adjustments with respect to some or all of a holder’s Labcorp Equity Awards. For greater certainty, any adjustments made by the Labcorp Board, the CHC Committee (or such other committee of the Labcorp Board authorized by the Labcorp Board, or such other delegate as authorized by the CHC Committee or such other committee) will be deemed incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth below and will be binding on the parties hereto and their respective Subsidiaries.

(i) With respect to Labcorp RSUs

(A) Labcorp RSUs held by each Labcorp Participant will be adjusted, effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Labcorp Equity Plan, and will be subject to substantially the same terms, vesting conditions and other restrictions, if any, that were applicable to such Labcorp RSUs immediately prior to the Distribution Date (the “Adjusted Labcorp RSUs”). The number of unvested shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to the Adjusted Labcorp RSUs will be equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole share, except where applicable Law requires otherwise) of (1) the number of unvested shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to the Labcorp RSU held by the Labcorp Participant immediately prior to the Distribution Date and (2) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the Pre-Distribution Labcorp Share Price and (y) the denominator of which is the Post-Distribution Labcorp Share Price.

(B) Labcorp RSUs held by each Fortrea Participant will, effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, be adjusted and converted into an award of Fortrea RSUs. Pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Labcorp Equity Plan, the award of Fortrea RSUs will be subject to substantially the same terms, vesting conditions and other restrictions, if any, that were applicable to the Labcorp RSUs immediately prior to the Distribution Date. The number of unvested shares of Fortrea Common Stock subject to such Fortrea RSUs for each such Fortrea Participant will be equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole share, except where applicable Law requires otherwise) of (1) the number of unvested shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to such Labcorp RSUs held by such Fortrea Participant immediately prior to the

-23-

Distribution Date and (2) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the Pre-Distribution Labcorp Share Price and (y) the denominator of which is the Fortrea Share Price.

(ii) Each Labcorp Performance Share Award generally will be adjusted in the manner described below, effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Labcorp Equity Plan, so that immediately following the Distribution each Labcorp Performance Share Award holder who is a Labcorp Participant will hold Adjusted Labcorp Performance Share Awards, and each Labcorp Performance Share Award holder who is a Fortrea Participant will hold Fortrea Performance Share Awards, in each case, in lieu of the Labcorp Performance Share Awards previously held.

(A) The following adjustments will be applied to each outstanding Labcorp Performance Share Award with a performance period relating to fiscal years 2021 to 2023 (any such award, the “Labcorp 2021-2023 Performance Share Award”), effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution:

(1)    The determination of whether any portion of a Labcorp 2021-2023 Performance Share Award held by a Labcorp Participant or by a Fortrea Participant has been earned will be made based upon the achievement of the applicable performance criteria measured prior to or as of the Distribution Date. Such determination will be made by the CHC Committee in accordance with the Labcorp Equity Plan. Any portion of the Labcorp 2021-2023 Performance Share Award that is not earned as of the Distribution Date will be cancelled and forfeited without the payment of any consideration. Any portion of the Labcorp 2021-2023 Performance Share Award that is earned will be adjusted as follows:

(a)    The earned portion of any Labcorp 2021-2023 Performance Share Award held by each Labcorp Participant will, effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Labcorp Equity Plan, be adjusted by converting the award into a time-based vesting restricted stock unit award covering Labcorp Common Stock and subject to substantially the same terms as the Labcorp 2021-2023 Performance Share Award, except that such restricted stock units awards will vest in full on the 30th day following Labcorp’s filing of an annual report with the SEC on Form 10-K that includes or incorporates by reference audited financial statements with respect to the three-year period ending December 31, 2023 (subject to continued employment or service with Labcorp or its subsidiary through such date), will not be subject to the achievement of any additional performance criteria, and will be settled in no event later than December 31, 2024 (such award, an “Adjusted Labcorp 2021-2023 Performance Share

-24-

Award”). The number of shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to each such Adjusted Labcorp 2021-2023 Performance Share Award for each such Labcorp Participant will be equal to the product (which will be rounded up to the nearest whole share, except where applicable Law requires otherwise) of (I) the number of shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to the earned portion of each such Labcorp 2021-2023 Performance Share Award, as determined by the CHC Committee, and (II) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the Pre-Distribution Labcorp Share Price and (y) the denominator of which is the Post-Distribution Labcorp Share Price.

(b) The earned portion of any Labcorp 2021-2023 Performance Share Award held by each Fortrea Participant will, effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Labcorp Equity Plan, be adjusted by converting the award into a time-based vesting restricted stock unit award covering Fortrea Common Stock and subject to substantially the same terms as the underlying Labcorp 2021-2023 Performance Share Award, except that such restricted stock units awards will vest in full on the 30th day following Labcorp’s filing of an annual report with the SEC on Form 10-K that includes or incorporates by reference audited financial statements with respect to the three-year period ending December 31, 2023 (subject to continued employment or service with Fortrea or its subsidiary through such date), will not be subject to the achievement of any additional performance criteria, and will be settled in no event later than December 31, 2024 (the “Fortrea 2021-2023 Performance Share Awards”). The number of shares of Fortrea Common Stock subject to such Fortrea 2021-2023 Performance Share Award for each such Fortrea Participant will be equal to the product (which will be rounded up to the nearest whole share, except where appliable Law requires otherwise) of (I) the number of shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to the earned portion of each such Labcorp 2021-2023 Performance Share Award, as determined by the CHC Committee, and (II) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the Pre-Distribution Labcorp Share Price and (y) the denominator of which is the Fortrea Share Price.

(B) The following adjustments will be applied to each outstanding Labcorp Performance Share Award with a performance period relating to fiscal years 2022 to 2024 (any such award, a “Labcorp 2022-2024 Performance Share Award”), effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution:

(1) Labcorp 2022-2024 Performance Share Awards held by each Labcorp Participant will be adjusted, effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Labcorp Equity Plan, and will be subject to substantially the same terms, vesting conditions and other restrictions, if any, that were applicable to such Labcorp 2022-2024

-25-

Performance Share Award immediately prior to the Distribution Date (the “Adjusted Labcorp 2022-2024 Performance Share Awards”); provided, however, that (x) the number of unvested shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to the Adjusted Labcorp 2022-2024 Performance Share Awards will be equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole share, except where applicable Law requires otherwise) of (a) the number of unvested shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to the Labcorp 2022-2024 Performance Share Award held by the Labcorp Participant immediately prior to the Distribution Date and (b) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Pre-Distribution Labcorp Share Price and (ii) the denominator of which is the Post-Distribution Labcorp Share Price, and (y) the performance goals for the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A of each award agreement pertaining to the Labcorp 2022-2024 Performance Share Awards as they pertain to Labcorp Participants will be adjusted by the CHC Committee in its discretion such that the business units comprising Fortrea will be treated as though they were discontinued operations, for purposes of measuring achievement of the performance criteria.

(2) Labcorp 2022-2024 Performance Share Awards held by each Fortrea Participant will be adjusted, effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Labcorp Equity Plan, as follows (the “Fortrea 2022-2024 Performance Share Awards”):

(x)    As to 50% of the target number of shares subject to the Labcorp 2022-2024 Performance Share Awards (the “First 2022-2024 Tranche”), the determination of whether any portion of the First 2022-2024 Tranche held by a Fortrea Participant has been earned will be made based upon the achievement of the applicable performance criteria measured prior to or as of the Distribution Date. Such determination will be made by the CHC Committee in accordance with the applicable Labcorp Equity Plan. Any portion of the First 2022-2024 Tranche that is not earned as of the Distribution Date will be cancelled and forfeited without the payment of any consideration. Any portion of the First 2022-2024 Tranche that is earned will be adjusted by converting such portion into a time-based vesting restricted stock unit award covering Fortrea Common Stock and subject to substantially the same terms as the underlying Labcorp 2022-2024 Performance Share Award, except that such restricted stock unit awards will vest in full on the 30th day following Labcorp’s filing of an annual report with the SEC on Form 10-K that includes or incorporates by reference audited financial statements with

-26-

respect to the three-year period ending December 31, 2024 (subject to continued employment or service with Fortrea or its subsidiary through such date), will not be subject to the achievement of any additional performance objectives, and will be settled in no event later than December 31, 2025. The number of shares of Fortrea Common Stock subject to the First 2022-2024 Tranche of such Fortrea 2022-2024 Performance Share Award for each such Fortrea Participant will be equal to the product (which will be rounded up to the nearest whole share, except where applicable Law requires otherwise) of (a) the number of shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to the earned portion of the First 2022-2024 Tranche, as determined by the CHC Committee, and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Pre-Distribution Labcorp Share Price and the denominator of which is the Fortrea Share Price.

(y)    As to the remaining 50% of the target number of shares subject to the Labcorp 2022-2024 Performance Award (the “Second 2022-2024 Tranche”), such tranche will, effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, be adjusted and converted into a performance share award over Fortrea Common Stock, and will be subject to substantially the same terms, vesting conditions and other restrictions, if any, that were applicable to such Labcorp 2022-2024 Performance Share Award immediately prior to the Distribution Date; provided, however that (a) the number of unvested shares of Fortrea Common Stock subject to the Second 2022-2024 Tranche for each such Fortrea Participant will be equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole share, except where applicable Law requires otherwise) of (i) the number of unvested shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to the Second 2022-2024 Tranche held by such Fortrea Participant immediately prior to the Distribution Date and (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the Pre-Distribution Labcorp Share Price and (B ) the denominator of which is the Fortrea Share Price, and (b) the performance goals for the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A of each award agreement pertaining to the Labcorp 2022-2024 Performance Share Awards as they pertain to Fortrea Participants will be subject to the satisfaction of performance criteria established by the CHC Committee in its sole discretion prior to the Distribution Date, and subject to further review and modification by Fortrea after the Distribution Date. For purposes of clarification, any performance shares subject to the Second 2022-2024

-27-

Tranche that are earned will be paid to the Fortrea Participant in no event later than December 31, 2025.

(C) The following adjustment will be applied to each outstanding Labcorp Performance Share Award with a performance period relating to fiscal years 2023 to 2025 (any such award, a “Labcorp 2023-2025 Performance Share Award”), effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution:

(1) Labcorp 2023-2025 Performance Share Awards held by each Labcorp Participant will be adjusted, effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Labcorp Equity Plan, and will be subject to substantially the same terms, vesting conditions and other restrictions, if any, that were applicable to such Labcorp 2023-2025 Performance Share Award immediately prior to the Distribution Date (the “Adjusted Labcorp 2023-2025 Performance Share Awards”); provided, however, that (x) the number of unvested shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to the Adjusted Labcorp 2023-2025 Performance Share Awards will be equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole share, except where applicable Law requires otherwise) of (a) the number of unvested shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to the Labcorp 2023-2025 Performance Share Award held by the Labcorp Participant immediately prior to the Distribution Date and (b) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Pre-Distribution Labcorp Share Price and (ii) the denominator of which is the Post-Distribution Labcorp Share Price, and (y) the performance goals for the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A of each award agreement pertaining to the Labcorp 2023-2025 Performance Share Awards as they pertain to Labcorp Participants will be adjusted such that the business units comprising Fortrea will be treated as though they were discontinued operations and all performance goals will be adjusted by the CHC Committee in its discretion, for purposes of measuring achievement of the performance criteria.

(2) Labcorp 2023-2025 Performance Share Awards held by each Fortrea Participant will, effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, be adjusted and converted into Fortrea 2023-2025 Performance Share Awards. Pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Labcorp Equity Plan, the Labcorp 2023-2025 Performance Share Awards will be subject to substantially the same terms, vesting conditions and other restrictions, if any, that were applicable to such Labcorp 2023-2025 Performance Share Awards immediately prior to the Distribution Date; provided, however that (x) the number of unvested shares of Fortrea Common Stock subject to such Fortrea 2023-2025 Performance Share Awards for

-28-

each such Fortrea Participant will be equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole share, except where applicable Law requires otherwise) of (a) the number of unvested shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to such Labcorp 2023-2025 Performance Share Awards held by such Fortrea Participant immediately prior to the Distribution Date and (b) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Pre-Distribution Labcorp Share Price and (ii) the denominator of which is the Fortrea Share Price, and (y) the performance goals for the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A of each award agreement pertaining to the Labcorp 2023-2025 Performance Share Awards as they pertain to Fortrea Participants will be subject to the satisfaction of performance criteria established by the CHC Committee in its sole discretion prior to the Distribution Date, and subject to further review and modification by Fortrea after the Distribution Date. For purposes of clarification, any performance shares subject to the Fortrea 2023-2025 Performance Share Award that are earned will be paid to the Fortrea Participant in no event later than December 31, 2025.

(iii) Each Labcorp Option generally will be adjusted in the manner described below, effective as of the Distribution Date and immediately prior to the Distribution, pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Labcorp Equity Plan, so that immediately following the Distribution each Labcorp Option holder who is a Labcorp Participant will hold Adjusted Labcorp Options, in lieu of the Labcorp Options previously held. For the sake of clarity, there are no Fortrea Participants who hold Labcorp Options. The following procedure will generally be applied to each Labcorp Option held by a Labcorp Participant as of the Distribution Date:

(A) Each Adjusted Labcorp Option will have an exercise price equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest cent) of (1) the applicable Option Exercise Price multiplied by (2) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the Post-Distribution Labcorp Share Price and (y) the denominator of which is the Pre-Distribution Labcorp Share Price. The number of shares of Labcorp Common Stock subject to the Adjusted Labcorp Options will be equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (a) the number of shares subject to the Labcorp Option held by such Labcorp Participant immediately prior to the Distribution Date and (b) a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Pre-Distribution Labcorp Share Price and (ii) the denominator of which is the Post-Distribution Labcorp Share Price. Such Adjusted Labcorp Options will be subject to the same vesting requirements and dates and other terms and conditions as the Labcorp Options to which they relate.

(b) If an Adjusted Labcorp Equity Award or Fortrea Equity Award is subject to accelerated vesting in connection with a change in control or a

-29-

separation from service, a change in control or separation from service will be deemed to have occurred (i) with respect to an Adjusted Labcorp Equity Award, only upon a change in control of, or separation from service with, Labcorp (as defined in the applicable equity incentive plan or award agreement) and (ii) with respect to a Fortrea Equity Award, only upon a change in control of, or separation from service with, Fortrea (as defined in the applicable equity incentive plan or award agreement).

(c) Prior to the Distribution Date, Fortrea will establish the Fortrea Equity Plan, so that upon the Distribution, Fortrea will have in effect an equity compensation plan that allows grants of equity compensation awards subject to substantially the same terms as those that apply to the corresponding Labcorp Equity Awards, as set forth herein. From and after the Distribution Date, each Fortrea Equity Award will be subject to the terms of the Fortrea Equity Plan, the award agreement governing such Fortrea Equity Award and any exhibits thereto, and any Employment Agreement to which the applicable holder is a party (if applicable). From and after the Distribution Date, Fortrea will retain, pay, perform, fulfill and discharge all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the Fortrea Equity Awards and Labcorp will retain, pay, perform, fulfill and discharge all Liabilities arising out of or relating to the Adjusted Labcorp Equity Awards.

(d) In all events, the adjustments provided for in this Section 10.01 will be made in a manner that, as determined by Labcorp, avoids adverse Tax consequences to holders under Code Section 409A.

(e) Labcorp and Fortrea shall determine in good faith the adjustments to the Labcorp Equity Awards that shall apply to each Delayed Transfer Employee, with the intent that the treatment of Labcorp Equity Awards held by Delayed Transfer Employees shall be treated to the greatest extent possible consistent with the terms of this Section 10.01.

(f) Fortrea shall assume the obligation to pay dividend equivalent rights on each Fortrea Equity Award issued in replacement of a Labcorp Equity Award, including with respect to dividend equivalents accrued on shares of Labcorp Common Stock on or before the Distribution Date or Applicable Transfer Date, as applicable.

Section 10.02 Labcorp ESPP.

(a) The last purchase for all eligible Fortrea Employees under the Labcorp ESPP that occurs for calendar year 2023 shall be on May 31, 2023. From and after the Distribution Date, Fortrea Employees shall cease to be eligible to participate in the Labcorp ESPP.

(b) On or prior to the Distribution Date, Fortrea shall adopt the Fortrea ESPP under which options to purchase Fortrea Common Stock may, at the time determined by Fortrea in its sole discretion, be granted to eligible Fortrea

-30-

Employees, which Fortrea ESPP shall have terms that are substantially comparable to those in effect, as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date, under the Labcorp ESPP, to the extent required by applicable Law.

Section 10.03 Conformity with Non-U.S. Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Employee Matters Agreement, (a) to the extent any of the provisions in this Article X (or any equity award described herein) do not conform with applicable non-U.S. Laws (including provisions for the collection of withholding taxes), such provisions shall be modified to the extent necessary to conform with such non-U.S. Laws in such manner as is equitable and to preserve the intent hereof, as determined by the parties in good faith, and (b) the provisions of this Article X may be modified to the extent necessary to avoid undue cost or administrative burden arising out of the application of this Article X to awards subject to non-U.S. Laws.

Section 10.04 Tax Withholding and Reporting.

(a) Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the appropriate member of the Labcorp Group will be responsible for all payroll Taxes, withholding and reporting with respect to Adjusted Labcorp Equity Awards held by Labcorp Participants. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the appropriate member of the Fortrea Group will be responsible for all payroll Taxes, withholding and reporting with respect to Fortrea Equity Awards held by Fortrea Participants.

(b) If Labcorp or Fortrea determines in its reasonable judgment that any action required under this Article X will not achieve the intended Tax, accounting and legal results, including, without limitation, the intended results under Code Section 409A or FASB ASC Topic 718 – Stock Compensation, then at the request of Labcorp or Fortrea, as applicable, Labcorp or Fortrea will mutually cooperate in taking such actions as are necessary or appropriate to achieve such results, or most nearly achieve such results if the originally-intended results are not fully attainable.

Section 10.05 Employment Treatment.

(a) Continuous employment with the Fortrea Group and the Labcorp Group following the Distribution Date will be deemed to be continuing service for purposes of vesting and exercisability for the Fortrea Equity Awards and the Adjusted Labcorp Equity Awards. However, in the event that a Fortrea Employee terminates employment after the Distribution Date and becomes employed by the Labcorp Group, for purposes of Article X, the Fortrea Employee will be deemed terminated and the terms and conditions of the applicable equity incentive plan and equity award agreements under which grants were made will apply. Similarly, in the event that a Labcorp Employee terminates employment after the Distribution Date and becomes employed by the Fortrea Group, for purposes of Article X, the Labcorp Employee will be deemed terminated and the terms and conditions of the equity incentive plan under which grants were made will apply. Notwithstanding

-31-

the foregoing, for purposes of this Article X only, if an individual is a Delayed Transfer Employee, such individual will not be considered to have terminated on his or her Applicable Transfer Date, provided such treatment does not result in adverse Tax consequences under Code Section 409A. In addition, Labcorp Directors will be treated in a similar manner to that described in this Section 10.05(a), as applicable.

(b) If, after the Distribution Date, Labcorp or Fortrea identifies an administrative error in the individuals identified as holding Adjusted Labcorp Equity Awards or Fortrea Equity Awards, the amount of such awards so held, the vesting level of such awards, or any other similar error, Labcorp and Fortrea will mutually cooperate in taking such actions as are necessary or appropriate to place, as nearly as reasonably practicable, the individual and Labcorp or Fortrea in the position in which they would have been had the error not occurred.

Section 10.06 Registration. Fortrea will register the shares of Fortrea Common Stock relating to the Fortrea Equity Awards and make any necessary filings with the appropriate Governmental Authorities as required under United States and foreign securities Laws.
