SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE Edward Lifesciences Technology SARL Retirement Savings Plan

THIS AMENDMENT adopted this 1st day of January of 2017, by the Administrative and Investment Committee (the “Committee”) of the Plan (herein referred to as the “Administrator”) shall be effective as of the dates provided herein. The following articles are amended as follow:

4.1    Deferral Elections. A Participant may elect to have his Compensation for each pay period reduced by any whole percentage from 1% to 25% not to exceed the maximum before-tax contribution amount permitted under Section 1081.01(d) of the PR Code for the Deferral Limit by filing in the Deferral Election via the IVR, the Web, or by any other method prescribed by the Committee. Such Deferral Election is deemed to be modified by the Deferral Limit, and is subject to the Committee’s right to limit deferrals to avoid discrimination in accordance with Section 5.2 and violations of the limits on annual additions under Section 6.3.

A new Participant may make a Deferral Election as of the pay period coincident with or immediately following the Entry Date upon which such Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. A Participant must make his deferral election via the IVR, the Web, or by any other method prescribed by the Committee. The Deferral Election of a former Participant, who is rehired within 30 days of his termination of employment, will be deemed to continue in effect upon the date he again becomes an active Participant in the Plan, subject to Section 4.2.

The following limits apply with respect to pre-tax contributions made for taxable years beginning after:

January 1, 2011        $10,000

January 1, 2012        $13,000

January 1, 2013        $15,000

7.9    In-Service Withdrawals. Accounts of Participants who have not ceased to be Employees may be withdrawn in accordance with the following rules:

(a) Hardship Withdrawals. A Participant may, by following the procedure designated by the Committee, withdraw all, or part, of the portion of his Salary Deferral Account which is attributable to his Salary Deferrals, not including any earnings thereon. Any withdrawal under this Section 7.9(a) must be on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant and cannot be more than the amount which is necessary to satisfy that need, unless the Participant has attained age 59½. A Participant may obtain no more than two hardship withdrawals in any Plan Year. For purposes of this paragraph:

(i)The following are the only financial needs considered immediate and heavy: expenses incurred or necessary for medical care, as described in __ Section 1033.15 (a)(4)of the PR Code, of the Participant, his spouse or dependents; the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Participant; payment of tuition and related educational fees for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the

Participant, his spouse, children or dependents; or the need to prevent the eviction of the Participant from, or a foreclosure on the mortgage of, his principal residence.

(ii)A distribution will be considered as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of the Participant only if the Participant demonstrates to the Committee’s satisfaction that:

(A)the Participant has obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions;

(B)the Participant agrees, as a condition of the distribution, that he will be suspended from making Salary Deferrals under this and all other plans of the Employer for twelve months after receipt of the distribution;

(D) The distribution is not in excess of the amount of an immediate and heavy financial need (including amounts necessary to pay any federal, state or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution).
