Section 7.01. Cash Incentive and Cash Bonus Plans.

(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).

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.

(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, Solta 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 (including the Solta 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 Parent, SpinCo or Solta, 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.

Section 8.07. Canadian Participants. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article VIII, it is the intention of the Parties that the adjustments to Parent Awards contemplated by this Article VIII be completed on a tax-neutral basis under the provisions of the ITA, to the extent applicable. This being the case, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.02, a particular Parent Award may be further adjusted in the manner set forth in this Section 8.07 if the Parent Award is (i) subject to the provisions of subsection 7(1) of the ITA, and (ii) 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”). In no event shall the In-the-Money Amount (as defined in the Plan of Arrangement) of an Adjusted Parent Award and/or SpinCo Award, as applicable, provided to a Canadian Participant pursuant to Section 8.02 (as determined immediately following the time of such adjustments described in Sections 8.02) exceed the In-the-Money Amount of the corresponding Parent Award immediately prior to such adjustments, as determined on a Parent Award-by-Parent Award basis. Accordingly, and in furtherance of the foregoing, with respect to any Parent Award held by a Canadian Participant that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Distribution Date, in the event that the aggregate In-the-Money-

Amount of the applicable Adjusted Parent Award and/or SpinCo Award provided to such Canadian Participant pursuant to Section 8.02 (as determined immediately after such adjustments), as applicable, exceeds the aggregate In-the-Money Amount of such corresponding Parent Award (as determined immediately prior to such adjustments), then the Parent Board (or an applicable committee thereof) and the SpinCo Board (or any applicable committee thereof) shall cooperate and agree to a further adjustment in the number of Parent Shares underlying the applicable Adjusted Parent Award and/or the number of Resulting Entity Common Shares underlying the applicable SpinCo Award (or any combination thereof), as applicable, in each case in order to ensure that any such excess in the In-the-Money Amount is reduced to nil, and the Parent Board (or any applicable committee thereof) and/or the SpinCo Board (or any applicable committee thereof), as applicable, shall cause such further adjustments to be made with any such further adjustment deemed to be effective as of the time of the adjustments set forth in Section 8.02.

ARTICLE IX

(c) With respect to SpinCo Employees, the parties shall (i) treat the Company (or the applicable member of the SpinCo Group) as a “successor employer” and Parent (or the applicable member of the Parent Group) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, for purposes of taxes imposed under the U.S. Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the U.S. Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and (ii) cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to implement the alternate procedure described in Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53.

Section 11.03. Vendor Contracts. Prior to the Benefits Commencement Date, Parent and SpinCo will cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable best efforts to (a) negotiate with the current third-party providers to separate and assign to the SpinCo Group (or SpinCo Plans) the applicable rights and obligations under each group insurance policy, health maintenance organization, administrative services contract, third-party administrator agreement, letter of understanding or similar arrangement that pertains to one or more Parent Plans (each, a “Vendor Contract”), to the extent that such rights or obligations pertain to SpinCo Participants, or, in the alternative, to negotiate with the current third-party providers to provide similar services to a SpinCo Plan on similar terms under separate contracts with a member of the SpinCo Group or the SpinCo Plans, as applicable, and (b) to the extent permitted by the applicable third-party provider, obtain and maintain pricing discounts or other preferential terms for the Parent Group and SpinCo Group under the applicable Vendor Contracts.

Section 11.04. Data Privacy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties agree that any applicable data privacy laws and any other obligations of the Parent Group and the SpinCo Group to maintain the confidentiality of any employee information held by any member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group, as applicable, or any information held in connection with any Employee Plans in accordance with applicable Law will govern the disclosure of employee information between the parties under this Agreement. Each of Parent and SpinCo will ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data of the Parent Participants and SpinCo Participants, respectively.

Section 11.05. Notices of Certain Events. Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify and provide copies to the other of: (a) written notice from any Person alleging that the approval or consent of such

Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) any written notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Master Separation Agreement; and (c) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to its knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the SpinCo Group or the Parent Group, as the case may be, that relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Master Separation Agreement; provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 11.05 shall not affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

Section 11.06. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall: (a) create any obligation on the part of any member of the SpinCo Group or any member of the Parent Group to retain the employment or services of any current or former employee, director, independent contractor or other service provider; (b) be construed to create any right, or accelerate entitlement, to any compensation or benefit whatsoever on the part of any future, present, or former employee or service provider of any member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group (or any beneficiary or dependent thereof) under this Agreement, the Master Separation Agreement, any Parent Plan or SpinCo Plan or otherwise; (c) preclude the Company or any SpinCo Group member (or, in each case, any successor thereto), at any time after the Separation Time, from amending, merging, modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing, or otherwise altering in any respect any SpinCo Plan, any benefit under any SpinCo Plan or any trust, insurance policy, or funding vehicle related to any SpinCo Plan (in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable arrangement); (d) preclude Parent or any Parent Group member (or, in each case, any successor thereto), at any time after the Separation Time, from amending, merging, modifying, terminating, eliminating, reducing, or otherwise altering in any respect any Parent Plan, any benefit under any Parent Plan or any trust, insurance policy, or funding vehicle related to any Parent Plan (in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable arrangement); or (e) confer any rights or remedies (including any third-party beneficiary rights) on any current or former employee or service provider of any member of the Parent Group or the SpinCo Group or any beneficiary or dependent thereof or any other Person.

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. Each party shall be responsible for taking such actions as are deemed necessary and appropriate to comply with its own fiduciary responsibilities and shall fully release and indemnify the other party for any Liabilities caused by the failure to satisfy any such responsibility.

Section 11.08. Consent of Third Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is dependent on the consent of any third party (such as a vendor or Governmental Authority), the parties shall cooperate in good faith and use reasonable best efforts obtain such consent, and if such consent is not obtained, to implement the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the full extent practicable. 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. A party’s obligation to use its “reasonable best efforts” shall not require such party to take any action to the extent it would reasonably be expected to (i) jeopardize, or result in the loss or waiver of, any attorney-client or other legal privilege, (ii) contravene any applicable Law or fiduciary duty, (iii) result in the loss of protection of any Intellectual Property or other proprietary information or (iv) incur any non-routine or unreasonable cost or expense.
