ARTICLE 1
Establishment and Purpose
Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") established the Catalent Pharma Solutions, LLC Deferred Compensation Plan, effective as of April 10, 2007 (the "CPS LLC Plan"). The CPS LLC Plan was subsequently amended on December 29, 2008, July 24, 2009, and December 22, 2009. With the approval of the Committee, the Company amended, restated, and renamed the CPS LLC Plan, hereinafter the Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), effective January 1, 2016. The Company hereby amends and restates the Plan, effective October 1, 2022.
The purpose of this amended and restated Plan is to attract and retain key employees and Directors by providing Participants with an opportunity to defer receipt of a portion of their salary, bonus, and other specified compensation. The Plan is not intended to meet the qualification requirements of Code Section 401(a), but is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, and shall be operated and interpreted consistent with that intent.
The Plan constitutes an unsecured promise by a Participating Employer to pay benefits in the future. Participants in the Plan shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company or the Adopting Employer, as applicable. Each Participating Employer shall be solely responsible for payment of the benefits of its employees and their beneficiaries. The Plan is unfunded for Federal tax purposes and is intended to be an unfunded arrangement for eligible employees who are part of a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Employer within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. Any amounts set aside to defray the liabilities assumed by the Company or an Adopting Employer will remain the general assets of the Company or the Adopting Employer and shall remain subject to the claims of the Company's or the Adopting Employer's creditors until such amounts are distributed to the Participants.

Any election to defer Performance-Based Compensation that is made in accordance with this Section 4.2(c) and that becomes payable as a result of the Participant's death or disability (as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(e)) or upon a Change of Control prior to the satisfaction of the performance criteria will be void unless it would be considered timely under another rule described in this Section 4.2.
(iv)Short-Term Deferrals. The Committee may permit Compensation that may be deemed a "short-term deferral" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) to be deferred in accordance with the rules of Article VII, applied as if the date the Substantial Risk of Forfeiture lapses is the date payments were originally scheduled to commence; provided, however, that the provisions of Article VII shall not apply to payments attributable to a Change of Control.
(v)Certain Forfeitable Rights. With respect to a legally binding right to a payment in a subsequent year that is subject to a forfeiture condition requiring the continued services of the Eligible Employee or non-employee Director for a period of at least 12 months from the date the legally binding right is obtained, the Committee may permit such Eligible Employee or non-employee Director to defer such Compensation by submitting a Compensation Deferral Agreement on or before the 30th day after the legally binding right to the Compensation accrues; provided that the Compensation Deferral Agreement is submitted at least 12 months in advance of the earliest date on which the forfeiture condition could lapse.
A Compensation Deferral Agreement submitted under this Section 4.2(e) is effective immediately upon becoming irrevocable. If the forfeiture condition applicable to the payment lapses before the end of such 12-month period as a result of the Participant's death or disability (as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(4)) or upon a Change of Control, the Compensation Deferral Agreement will be void unless it would be considered timely under another rule described in this Section 4.2.

A Deferral of performance share units or restricted stock units shall be allocated to a PSU Account or RSU Account, as applicable.

DB04/1000249.0002/14083892.2

Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan
all or any portion of his or her vested Accounts. Whether a Participant or Beneficiary is faced with an Unforeseeable Emergency permitting an emergency payment shall be determined by the Committee based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case, but, in any case, a distribution on account of Unforeseeable Emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be reimbursed through insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of Deferrals under this Plan.

(vii)Small Account Balances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, the Committee shall pay the value of the Participant's Accounts upon a Separation from Service in a single lump sum if the balance of such Accounts is not greater than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B), provided the payment represents the complete liquidation of the Participant's interest in the Plan.

For purposes of Article VII, each installment payment will be treated as a separate payment.
(ix)Acceleration of or Delay in Payments. The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to accelerate the time or form of payment of a benefit owed to the Participant hereunder, provided such acceleration is permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4). The Committee may also, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay the time for payment of a benefit owed to the Participant hereunder, to the extent permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(7).

(iv)Filing an Appeal. A request for appeal of a denied claim must be made in writing to the Committee within one hundred and eighty (180) days after receiving notice of denial. The decision on appeal will be made within forty-five (45) days after the Committee’s receipt of a request for appeal, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case the Committee may have an additional forty-five (45) day period to make a decision.

(2)Was not consulted during the initial denial.
(3)Is not a subordinate of the person who made the initial denial.
The Plan will identify the medical or other experts who were consulted when making the benefit determination, regardless of whether the expert’s advice was relied on in making the determination.
Before a benefit denial is issued on appeal, the Claimant will be provided (free of charge) with any new or additional evidence considered, relied on, or generated by the Plan, insurer, or other person making the benefit determination (or at the direction of the Plan, insurer, or other person) regarding the claim. The Claimant will be provided any new or additional evidence as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date the appeal denial notice is due, so that the Claimant has a reasonable opportunity to respond.
Before a benefit denial is issued on appeal, if the denial is issued based on a new or additional rationale, the Claimant will be provided, free of charge, with the rationale.
