NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.Transition and Separation.

(a)The Parties hereby agree that Executive will cease serving as Senior Advisor of the Company, effective as of November 30, 2023 (the “Separation Date”). Through the Separation Date, Executive will continue to receive the same compensation and benefits currently in effect. Effective as of the Separation Date, Executive will resign (and will be deemed to have resigned without any further action by Executive) from all positions Executive held in any capacity as an officer, director, benefit plan trustee or fiduciary or otherwise with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Executive shall promptly execute such additional documents as may be necessary to evidence the foregoing resignations.

(b)From and following the Separation Date through March 1, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined pursuant to this Section 1(b)) (such applicable date, the “Consulting Period End Date,” and such period between the Separation Date through the Consulting Period End Date, the “Consulting Period”), in consideration for the benefits to be provided under this Agreement, Executive shall serve as a non-employee consultant to the Company providing such transition and advisory services to the Company, as may be reasonably requested by the Company from time to time during the Consulting Period (the “Services”). The Consulting Period may be terminated by Executive prior to the Consulting Period End Date upon 60 days prior written notice to the Company. Executive agrees and acknowledges that, subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 7 (Whistleblower Protections) and Section 8 (Defend Trade Secrets Act), Executive shall not use or disclose any Confidential Information (as defined in the Employment Agreement) made available to Executive or to which Executive has access to during the Consulting Period. Executive shall, as a condition to receiving the benefits provided under this Agreement, re-execute and not revoke the Release Agreement (as defined below) on the Consulting Period End Date by signing the ratification in the Release Agreement and returning it to the Company.

(c)It is understood and agreed that Executive shall perform the Services as an independent contractor, and this Agreement is not intended by the parties to establish an employment relationship. Executive may not, at any time, act as a representative for or on behalf of the Company or its affiliates for any purpose or transaction, and may not bind or otherwise obligate the Company or its affiliates in any manner whatsoever without obtaining the prior written approval of the Company therefor. Executive shall be

solely responsible for the payment of any federal, state or local income, withholding or payroll taxes owed by Executive solely due to the receipt of compensation for providing services as a consultant under this Agreement, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from any claims, assessments or liabilities from a taxing authority relating to any such taxes. In his capacity as a consultant, Executive shall not be entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans of the Company or any of its affiliates (provided that Executive may participate in the benefit plans of the Company and its affiliates in his status as a former employee of the Company where applicable).

(d)Subject to Executive’s Continuing Obligations in Section 4 of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 1 shall preclude the Executive from engaging as an employee, independent contractor or consultant to third parties during the Consulting Period.  

Section 2.Accrued Compensation. Upon the Separation Date, Executive shall be entitled to receive the following: (a) any earned but unpaid base salary payments through the Separation Date, which shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the Separation Date (or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law); (b) reimbursement for business expenses incurred and properly submitted by Executive in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy for the period ending on the Separation Date, which shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the Separation Date (or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law); (c) any vested amount or benefit that is payable to Executive under any benefit plan or program of the Company in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of such plan or program; and (d) any accrued but unused vacation pay as of the Separation Date (each of clauses (a) through (d), collectively, the “Accrued Compensation”).

Section 3.Severance Benefits.

(a)Subject to (x) Executive’s execution of the general waiver and release of claims attached hereto as Annex A (the “Release Agreement”) and the Release Agreement becoming effective and irrevocable on the Release Effective Date (as defined in the Release Agreement) and (y) Executive complying with the terms of the Continuing Obligations (as defined below) (each of clauses (x) and (y), collectively, the “Payment Conditions”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive the following additional payments and benefits (the “Severance Benefits”):

(i)a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to $2,203,200 in the aggregate, which represents two (2) times the sum of (A) Executive’s annual base salary and (B) Executive’s target annual cash bonus, in each case as in effect as of immediately prior to the Separation Date, which such amount shall be payable within sixty (60) days following the Separation Date;

(ii)a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the product of (A) the annual cash bonus that Executive would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Company’s 2023 fiscal year based on actual achievement against the applicable performance objectives and (B) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed in the Company’s 2023 fiscal year prior to (and including) the Separation Date and (y) the denominator of which is 365, which such amount shall be payable no later than March 15, 2024 (for the avoidance of doubt, Executive will not be entitled to receive an annual cash bonus in respect of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year);

(iii)a lump sum cash payment of $250,000, which reflects the payment of the unpaid portion of Executive’s Spinoff Bonus Award (as set forth in the Spinoff Bonus Letter), payable within sixty (60) days following the Separation Date;

(iv)subject to Executive’s timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company shall provide Executive with continued coverage through the second anniversary of the Separation Date under any dental or vision program or policy maintained by the Company in which Executive (and his eligible dependents, as applicable) participated in as of the Separation Date, to the extent permitted under applicable law and the terms of such program or policy; provided, however, that Executive shall be solely responsible for any taxes incurred in respect of such coverage; provided, further, that the Company may modify the continuation coverage contemplated by this Section 3(a)(iv) (including by providing, in lieu of such continuation coverage or to the extent that the COBRA continuation period expires, a lump sum cash payment equal to the value for Executive of the continuation coverage provided herein) to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid the imposition of any excise taxes on the Company for failure to comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, and/or the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, as amended (to the extent applicable); and provided further, that in the event Executive obtains other employment that offers group health benefits, such continuation coverage by the Company under this Section 3(a)(iv) shall immediately cease on the date that Executive meets the eligibility requirements of the subsequent employer’s group health benefits plan (and Executive agrees to promptly notify the Company if Executive is offered group health benefits from any subsequent employer following the Separation Date); and provided further that the Company will make a lump-sum payment to Executive of $40,632 which represents the value of continued coverage through the two-year anniversary of the Separation Date under the medical program maintained by the Company, payable within sixty (60) days following the Separation Date, provided he has not revoked the Agreement pursuant to Section 4 of the attached General Waiver and Release Agreement.

(v)the BHC Equity Awards that are outstanding and held by Executive as of immediately prior to the Separation Date (as set forth on Annex B hereto) shall be treated in accordance with the existing terms of the BHC Equity Plan and the applicable Equity Award Documents (including in accordance with any applicable provisions relating to retirement treatment); and

(vi)with respect to the B+L Equity Awards:

(A)the B+L Stock Option Award granted on May 5, 2022 and the B+L RSU Awards granted to Executive on May 5, 2022 and July 25, 2022 that are outstanding and held by Executive as of immediately prior to the Separation Date (as set forth on Annex B hereto) shall cease to vest as of the Separation Date (for the avoidance of doubt, the Separation Date shall constitute a “Termination of Service” for purposes of such awards under the terms of the applicable Equity Award Documents), and such awards shall thereupon be treated in accordance with the existing terms of the B+L Equity Plan, the applicable Equity Award Documents and the Retention Letter (as applicable);

(B)each B+L PSU Award granted to Executive on March 1, 2023 will be forfeited in its entirety as of the Separation Date; and

(C)the B+L RSU Award and B+L Stock Option Award granted to Executive on March 1, 2023 will remain outstanding and eligible to continue vesting in accordance with the existing terms of the B+L Equity Plan and the applicable Equity Award Documents during the Consulting Period based on Executive’s continuous provision of services to the Company; provided, that such B+L RSU Awards and the B+L Stock Option Award shall cease to vest (and Executive shall be deemed to have incurred a “Termination of Service” for purposes of such awards) upon the applicable Consulting Period End Date.

(vii)    The Company will issue payment to Executive’s counsel for the reasonable legal fees incurred in the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and related documents, up to a maximum of $5,000 in the aggregate.

(b)Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Severance Benefits are being provided in full discharge of any and all liabilities and obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates to Executive, monetarily or with respect to Executive’s employment, compensation or benefits. Executive further hereby agrees and acknowledges that, on and following the Separation Date, subject to the terms of this Agreement, Executive will only be entitled to receive the Accrued Compensation and the Severance Benefits (subject to the satisfaction of the Payment Conditions), and Executive will not be entitled to receive, and hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights or entitlements to receive, any other compensation or benefits from the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates arising under the Offer Letter, the Spinoff Bonus Letter, the Retention Letter or under any other plan, agreement or arrangement or otherwise (including, without limitation, any severance payments or benefits, cash bonuses or equity-based compensation).

(c)Each of Executive and the Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the cessation of Executive’s employment constitutes a “Retirement” for all relevant purposes under the Equity Award Agreements; (ii) Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the Release Agreement shall fulfill any release requirements under the Equity Award Agreements and (iii) Executive does not hold any equity incentive awards under the BHC Equity Plan or the B+L Equity Plan other than those awards set forth on Annex B hereto.

Section 4.Continuing Obligations. Executive hereby (a) reaffirms Executive’s obligations under (and acknowledges that Executive will continue to be bound by the terms of) (i) the Equity Award Agreements (including the restrictive covenants set forth under any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any confidentiality, intellectual property, non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement restrictions) and (ii) the written policies of the Company and its affiliates (including the Standards of Business Conduct and the Company’s insider trading and recoupment policies) as may be in effect from time to time, to the extent such policies are applicable to similarly situated former employees of the Company generally for the benefit of the Company’s directors and officers (collectively, the “Continuing Obligations”), the terms of each of which are fully incorporated herein by reference; provided, however, that the non-solicitation period shall be (24) months from the Separation Date, expiring on November 30, 2025 and (b) understands, acknowledges and agrees that such Continuing Obligations shall survive the Separation Date and remain in full force and effect in accordance with all of the terms and conditions thereof.

Section 5.Cooperation. Subject to Section 7 (Whistleblower Protections) and Section 8 (Defend Trade Secrets Act), following the Separation Date, Executive shall make himself reasonably available to cooperate with the Company in matters relating to: (a) requests for information about the services Executive provided to the Company during his employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, (b) the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and as to which Executive has, or would reasonably be expected to have, personal experience, knowledge or information or (c) any investigation or review by any federal, state or local regulatory, quasi-regulatory or self-governing authority (including, without limitation, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission or the SEC) as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Executive’s cooperation shall include: (i) making himself reasonably available to meet and speak with officers or employees of the applicable member of Company, its counsel or any third-parties at the request of such person at times and locations to be determined by the Company reasonably and in good faith (the “Company Cooperation”) and (ii) giving accurate and truthful information at any interviews and accurate and truthful testimony in any legal proceedings or actions (the “Witness Cooperation”). In addition, at the request of the Company, Executive shall be required to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire to facilitate the Company’s preparation and filing of its proxy statement and periodic reports with the SEC, to the extent applicable. Executive shall not be entitled to any additional payments in respect of any Company Cooperation or Witness Cooperation, regardless of when provided. The Company will reimburse Executive for any reasonable, out-of-pocket travel, hotel and meal expenses incurred by Executive in connection with his performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 5 for which Executive has obtained prior approval from the Company.

Section 6.Non-Disparagement. Subject to Section 7 (Whistleblower Protections) and Section 8 (Defend Trade Secrets Act), Executive agrees not to make written or oral statements about the Company, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or their respective employees, directors, or executive officers that are negative or disparaging. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6 shall preclude Executive from making truthful statements that are required by applicable law, regulation or governmental investigation or are pursuant to legal process.

Section 7.Whistleblower Protections. Nothing in this Agreement, the Continuing Obligations or otherwise limits Executive’s ability to communicate directly with and provide information, including documents, not otherwise protected from disclosure by any applicable law or privilege to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agency”) regarding possible legal violations, without disclosure to the Company. Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, and Executive shall not be required to notify the Company that such reports or disclosures have been made. The Company may not retaliate against Executive for any of these activities, and nothing in this Agreement or otherwise requires Executive to waive any monetary award or other payment that Executive might become entitled to from the SEC or any other Government Agency.

Section 8.Defend Trade Secrets Act. Pursuant to Section 7 of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (which added 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b)), Executive acknowledges that

Executive shall not have criminal or civil liability under any federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition and without limiting the preceding sentence, if Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to Executive’s attorney and may use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Executive (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such Section.

Section 9.Publicity. Executive shall not issue, without prior written consent of the Company, any press release or make any public announcement or statement with respect to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 10.Section 409A. The Parties intend for the payments and benefits under this Agreement to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, “Section 409A”) or, if not so exempt, to be paid or provided in a manner which complies with the requirements of such section, and intend that this Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention. For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation. To the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six (6) month period immediately following Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following his termination of employment (or upon his death, if earlier). In no event shall the timing of Executive’ s execution of the Release, directly or indirectly, result in Executive designating the calendar year of payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution of the Release could be made in more than one taxable year, based on timing of the execution of the Release, payment shall be made in the later taxable year. To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, amounts reimbursable to Executive shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to Executive) during one calendar year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent calendar year. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amount or benefit that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” upon or following a termination of employment, unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” In no event whatsoever will the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Section 409A, or for damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.

Section 11.Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all amounts

that are required or authorized to be withheld, including, but not limited to, federal, state, local and foreign taxes required to be withheld by applicable laws or regulations. The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall make all determinations as to whether it is obligated to withhold any taxes hereunder and the amount hereof.

Section 12.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to the application of any choice-oflaw rules that would result in the application of another state’s laws.

Section 13.Judicial Interpretation/Modification; Severability. In the event that any one or more provisions (or portion thereof) of this Agreement is held to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable for any reason, the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision (or portion thereof) shall be construed or modified so as to provide the Company with the maximum protection that is valid, lawful and enforceable, consistent with the intent of the Company and Executive in entering into this Agreement. If such provision (or portion thereof) cannot be construed or modified so as to be valid, lawful and enforceable, that provision (or portion thereof) shall be construed as narrowly as possible and shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement (or provision), and the remainder shall remain in effect and be construed as broadly as possible, as if such invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision (or portion thereof) had never been contained in this Agreement.

Section 14.Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between Executive and the Company concerning the termination of Executive’s employment and supersedes any other written or oral promises concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, including, without limitation, those set forth in the Offer Letter, the Spinoff Bonus Letter and the Retention Letter, in each case except as expressly set forth herein (including, without limitation, the Continuing Obligations, which shall survive the termination of the foregoing and the entry into this Agreement).

Section 15.Amendment and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be altered, amended and/or waived except by a written document signed by both Parties setting forth such alteration, amendment, and/or waiver. The Parties hereto agree that the failure to enforce any provision or obligation under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver thereof or serve as a bar to the subsequent enforcement of such provision or obligation or any other provisions or obligations under this Agreement. No course of dealing between or among any persons having any interest in this Agreement will be deemed effective to modify or amend any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any person under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 16.No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Parties hereto shall have the sole right to enforce the performance of the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended for the benefit of, and is not intended to be relied upon by, any other person and no such person (or any other person acting on its behalf) shall be entitled to the benefit of or to enforce this Agreement.

Section 17.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns and the Parties shall require any successor or assign to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the applicable Party would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place. The Parties may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder except to a successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to

all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Party, as applicable. Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by Executive, Executive’s beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the, laws of descent and distribution.

Section 18.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement. Signatures transmitted via facsimile or PDF will be deemed the equivalent of originals.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.

This GENERAL WAIVER & RELEASE AGREEMENT (“Release Agreement”) dated as of the date executed below (the “Release Date”) is by and between Bausch + Lomb Corporation (the “Company”) and Joseph F. Gordon (“Executive”).

Reference is made in this Release Agreement to the Separation Agreement entered into by and between the Company and Executive dated as of November 6, 2023 (the “Separation Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Separation Agreement.

Documents and the B+L Equity Documents; (iii) any rights to indemnification that may exist from time to time under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or articles; (iv) any rights Executive may have to vested benefits under employee benefit plans of the Company in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, such benefit plans; (v) any rights or claims that may arise under ADEA after the date Executive signs this Release Agreement; or (vi) any rights or claims Executive may have that cannot be waived under applicable law (collectively, the “Excluded Claims”).

For the avoidance of doubt, Executive remains entitled to indemnification after the Separation Date for actions taken in his capacity as an officer of the Company under the by-laws of the Company or its applicable subsidiary (subject to the provisions of the by-laws, which limit indemnity in certain circumstances).

Except as set forth in Section 5 (Protected Rights) of this Release Agreement, Executive represents that Executive has not made assignment or transfer of any right or Claim covered by this Release Agreement and is not aware of any such right or Claim. Executive understands that Executive may later discover claims or facts that may be different than, or in addition to, those which Executive now knows or believes to exist with regards to the subject matter of this Release Agreement, and which, if known at the time of executing this Release Agreement, may have materially affected this Release Agreement or Executive’s decision to enter into the Separation Agreement and this Release Agreement.

4.    Consideration & Revocation Periods; Effective Date. Executive has twenty-one (21) calendar days following the Separation Date (as defined in the Separation Agreement) to consider and sign this Release Agreement (the “Release Consideration Period”), although Executive may sign it prior to the expiration of the Release Consideration Period, but in no event before the Separation Date, with any such execution of this Release Agreement by Executive prior to the end the Release Consideration Period representing Executive’s voluntary choice to waive his entitlement to continue to review and deliberate with respect to this Release Agreement during the remainder of the Release Consideration Period.

In the event that Executive does not sign this Release Agreement before the expiration of the Release Consideration Period, or in the event that Executive revokes this Release Agreement during the Revocation Period, this Release Agreement and the Separation Agreement shall be deemed automatically null and void in their entirety (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any of the Severance Benefits in accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement).

5.    Protected Rights. Nothing in this Release Agreement or otherwise limits Executive’s ability to communicate directly with and provide information, including documents, not otherwise protected from disclosure by any applicable law or privilege to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agency”) regarding possible legal violations, without disclosure to the Company. Executive does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, and Executive shall not be required to notify the Company that such reports or disclosures have been made. The Company may not retaliate against Executive for any of these activities, and nothing in this Release or otherwise requires Executive to waive any monetary award or other payment that Executive might become entitled to from the SEC or any other Government Agency. Pursuant to Section 7 of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (which added 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b)), Executive acknowledges that Executive shall not have criminal or civil liability under any federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition and without limiting the preceding sentence, if Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to Executive’s attorney and may use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Executive (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Release Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such Section.

6. Re-execution of Release and Confirmation of Representations. Executive hereby agrees to re-execute the release and confirm the representations set forth in this Release Agreement on or within the 21-day period following the Consulting Period End Date, but no earlier than the Consulting Period End Date, by signing the second signature line on the signature page hereto.

7.     Governing Law. This Release Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to the application of any choice-oflaw rules that would result in the application of another state’s laws.

8.    Judicial Interpretation/Modification; Severability. In the event that any one or more provisions (or portion thereof) of this Release Agreement is held to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable for any reason, the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision (or portion thereof) shall be construed or modified so as to provide the Company with the maximum protection that is valid, lawful and enforceable, consistent with the intent of the Company and Executive in entering into this Release Agreement. If such provision (or portion thereof) cannot be construed or modified so as to be valid, lawful and enforceable, that provision (or portion thereof) shall be construed as narrowly as possible and shall be severed from the remainder of this Release Agreement (or provision), and the remainder shall remain in effect and be construed as broadly as possible, as if such invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision (or portion thereof) had never been contained in this Release Agreement.

9.    Amendment. No provision of this Release Agreement may be altered, amended and/or waived except by a written document signed by both parties setting forth such alteration, amendment, and/or waiver.

10.    Counterparts. This Release Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement. Signatures transmitted via facsimile or PDF will be deemed the equivalent of originals.

11.    Entire Agreement. Except for the Separation Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Equity Award Agreements and other Continuing Obligations set forth herein or incorporated by reference therein), this Release Agreement, assuming it is executed and not revoked during the Revocation Period, cancels, supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements (written, oral or implied in-fact or in-law) between Executive and the Company regarding the subject matter covered by this Release. This Release Agreement, together with the Separation Agreement, is the full, complete and exclusive agreement between Executive and the Company regarding the subject matter hereof, and neither Executive nor the Company is relying on any representation or promise that is not expressly stated in this Release Agreement or the Separation Agreement.

I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE. I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM GIVING UP IMPORTANT RIGHTS. I AM AWARE OF MY RIGHT TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY OF MY OWN CHOOSING DURING THE CONSIDERATION PERIOD, AND THAT THE COMPANY HAS ADVISED ME TO UNDERTAKE SUCH CONSULTATION BEFORE SIGNING THIS RELEASE. I SIGN THIS RELEASE FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITHOUT DURESS OR COERCION.

The release and representations contained in this General Waiver and Release Agreement above are ratified and confirmed with respect to any and all Claims through and as of the Consulting Period End Date.
