Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement dated August 17, 2023 between Fortrea Holdings Inc. and Thomas Pike

This Agreement and the Notice of Grant evidence an award of Restricted Stock Units in the number of shares of Stock set forth on the Notice of Grant, and subject to the vesting and other conditions described below, in the Plan and on the Notice of Grant (the “Restricted Stock Units”).

The Purchase Price for the shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units is deemed paid by your prior services to the Company.

To the extent not yet vested, your Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, whether by operation of law or otherwise, nor may your Restricted Stock Units be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

Your Restricted Stock Units shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule shown on the Notice of Grant so long as you have not had a Separation from Service prior to the Vesting Dates set forth on the Notice of Grant.

No additional Restricted Stock Units will vest after your Separation from Service for any reason except as set forth in this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth under “Standard Vesting Schedule” above, if you have a Separation from Service, other than a Separation from Service by the Company for Cause, at a time when you have attained age 65 and completed 5 full years of Service (“Retirement at Age 65 Plus 5”) and

a)Your Separation from Service occurs on or after 6 months following the Grant Date but before 9 months following the Grant Date, the Restricted Stock Units that were scheduled to vest in accordance with the Standard Vesting Schedule within 12 months immediately following such Separation from Service will vest upon your Separation from Service; or

b)Your Separation from Service occurs on or after 9 months following the Grant Date, 100% of the Restricted Stock Units that remain unvested on such separation date will vest on the date of your Separation from Service.

For purposes of determining eligibility for Retirement at Age 65 Plus 5, Service means the aggregate of (i) the number of full years during which you are employed by the Company and/or an Affiliate of the Company (but only while the Affiliate is owned, controlled or under common control by or with the Company) and (ii) if applicable, the number of full years during which you were employed by Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, a Delaware corporation (“Labcorp”), and/or an Affiliate of Labcorp immediately prior to the spin-off of the Company from Labcorp (the “Spinoff”), provided that the number of years credited for Labcorp service shall not exceed five (5) years.

Notwithstanding the vesting schedules set forth under “Standard Vesting Schedule” and “Death, Disability, or Specified Terminations Following a Change in Control” above, if, unrelated to a Change in Control, you have either received notice of or have incurred an involuntary Separation from Service without Cause (as defined below), or you have incurred a voluntary Separation from Service for Good Reason (as defined below), in each case, on or after 6 months following the Grant Date, the Restricted Stock Units that were scheduled to vest in accordance with the Standard Vesting Schedule within 12 months immediately following said Separation from Service will vest upon the occurrence of such event. For the avoidance of doubt, if you are given notice of your involuntary Separation from Service prior to 6 months following the Grant Date, you shall not receive any acceleration of vesting pursuant to this section, even if your Separation from Service occurs on or after 6 months following the Grant Date. Similarly, for the avoidance of doubt, if you provide notice of your voluntary Separation from Service for Good Reason prior to 6 months following the Grant Date that ultimately results in your Separation from Service for Good Reason, you shall not receive any continuation of vesting pursuant to this section, even if your Separation from Service occurs on or after 6 months following the Grant Date.

For purposes of this Agreement:

a) “Cause” means the following events: (i) an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, or any other material violation of law in connection with your duties or in the course of your employment with the Company; (ii) your conviction of or entering of a plea of nolo contendere to a felony; (iii) your alcohol intoxication on the job or current illegal drug use; (iv) your intentional wrongful damage to tangible assets of the Company; (v) your intentional wrongful disclosure of material confidential information of the Company and/or material breach of the provisions of the Company’s Confidentiality/Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation Agreement or any other noncompetition or confidentiality provisions covering your activities; (vi) your knowing and intentional breach of any employment policy of the Company; (vii) gross neglect or gross misconduct, disloyalty, dishonesty, or breach of trust, or failure in the performance of your duties that is not corrected to the Company’s satisfaction within 30 days of your receiving notice thereof, provided that a period to cure any issues is reasonable and/or feasible; or (viii) your misconduct that causes reputational harm to the Company.

b) “Good Reason” means, without your consent, (i) a material reduction in your base salary or target bonus as a percentage of your base salary; (ii) relocation to an office location more than 50 miles from your current office; or (iii) a material reduction in job responsibilities and duties or transfer to another job; provided, however, that Good Reason shall only be deemed to have occurred if (x) no later than 30 days after you learn of the circumstances constituting Good Reason, you provide written notice to the Company detailing the events that constitute Good Reason and your decision to terminate your employment with the Company, (y) the Company fails to cure such circumstances within 30 days after receipt of said notice (“Cure Period”), and (z) you actually have a Separation from Service within 30 days after the end of said Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Good Reason” shall not include a reduction in your base salary or target bonus where such reduction is pursuant to a Company-wide reduction of base salaries and/or target bonuses.

Notwithstanding the vesting schedules under “Standard Vesting Schedule” and “Retirement at Age 65 Plus 5” set forth above, if you have a Separation from Service on or after 6 months following the Grant Date, other than a Separation from Service by the Company for Cause, at a time when you have attained age 55 and the sum of your age and full years of Service equals or exceeds 70 (“Retirement at Age 55 (Rule of 70)”), the Restricted Stock Units that were scheduled to vest in accordance with the Standard Vesting Schedule within 12 months immediately following said Separation from Service will vest upon your Separation from Service.

For purposes of determining eligibility for Retirement at Age 55 (Rule of 70), Service means the aggregate of (i) the number of full years during which you are employed by the Company and/or an Affiliate of the Company (but only while the Affiliate is owned, controlled or under common control by or with the Company) and (ii) if applicable, the number of full years during which you were employed by Labcorp and/or an Affiliate of Labcorp immediately prior to the Spinoff, provided that the number of years credited for Labcorp service shall not exceed five (5) years.

If you (a) should take actions in violation or breach of or in conflict with any (i) employment agreement, (ii) non-competition agreement, (iii) agreement prohibiting solicitation of employees or clients of the Company or any Affiliate, (iv) confidentiality obligation with respect to the Company or any Affiliate, (v) Company policy or procedure, or (vi) other agreement, or (b) if you incur a Separation from Service for Cause, the Company has the right to cause an immediate forfeiture of (A) your rights to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, and (B) with respect to the period commencing 36 months prior to your Separation from Service and ending 36 months following such Separation from Service (1) a forfeiture of any gain recognized by you upon the sale of any shares of Stock received as a result of the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units, and (2) a forfeiture of any vested shares of Stock held by you as a result of the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units. For the avoidance of doubt, any Confidentiality/Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation Agreement entered into before or concurrently with this Agreement is covered by this provision as are any other applicable agreements whether executed before or after this Agreement.

Moreover, nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall prohibit you from (a) disclosing any confidential information to a government agency if you are required to produce the information pursuant to a subpoena, court order, administrative order or other legal process, (b) discussing terms and conditions of employment or engaging in other activities protected by the National Labor Relations Act, (c) communicating with the Securities and Exchange Commission about securities law violations, or (d) communicating with any other government entity or agency if such communication is to report a violation of applicable law.

For purposes of this Agreement, you do not have a Separation from Service when you go on a bona fide employee leave of absence that was approved by your employer in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is required by applicable law. However, you will be treated as having a Separation from Service 90 days after you went on employee leave, unless your right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. You will incur a Separation from Service in any event when the approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active employee work.

Your employer determines, in its sole discretion, which leaves count for this purpose, and when you have a Separation from Service for all purposes under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may determine, in its discretion, that a leave counts for this purpose even if your employer does not agree.

The shares of Stock underlying your vested Restricted Stock Units will be issued within 60 days following each Vesting Date; provided, however, that if you incur a Separation from Service on which all or some of your unvested Restricted Stock Units vest as provided in this Agreement, the shares of Stock underlying such vested Restricted Stock Units shall be issued within 60 days of the date of your Separation from Service.

You agree, as a condition of this grant, that you are ultimately responsible for paying any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or the issuance of shares of Stock acquired under this grant. In the event that the Company or any Affiliate determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or the issuance of shares of Stock acquired from this grant, the Company or any Affiliate shall withhold a sufficient number of whole Shares otherwise issuable upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units that have an aggregate fair market value equal to the withholding obligation.

The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference.

This Agreement, the Notice of Grant, and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this grant of Restricted Stock Units. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this grant are superseded; except that any written employment, consulting, confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation, and/or severance agreement between you and the Company or any Affiliate shall supersede this Agreement with respect to its subject matter.

If there is any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, or if there is any ambiguity in this Agreement, any term that is not defined in this Agreement or any matter as to which this Agreement is silent, in any such case, the Plan shall govern, including, without limitation, the provisions thereof pursuant to which the Committee has the power, among others, to (a) interpret the Plan, (b) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan and (c) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

In order to administer the Plan, the Company or any Affiliate may process personal data about you. Such data includes, but is not limited to, information provided in this Agreement and any changes thereto, other appropriate personal and financial data about you such as your home and business addresses and other contact information, payroll information and any other information that might be deemed appropriate by the Company and any Affiliate to facilitate the administration of the Plan.

By accepting this grant, you give explicit consent to the Company and any Affiliate to process any such personal data. You also give explicit consent to the Company and any Affiliate to transfer any such personal data outside the country in which you work or are employed, including, with respect to non-U.S. resident participants, to the United States, to transferees who shall include the Company, any Affiliate and other persons who are designated by the Company to administer the Plan.

It is intended that the Restricted Stock Units comply with Section 409A of the Code and the guidance and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) or an exemption from Section 409A. To the extent that the Company determines that you would be subject to the additional taxes or penalties imposed on certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to Section 409A as a result of any provision of this Agreement, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional taxes or penalties. The nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Agreement during the 6-month period immediately following your Separation from Service will instead be paid on the first payroll date after the 6-month anniversary of your Separation from Service (or your death, if earlier). Each installment of Restricted Stock Units that vests under this Agreement (if there is more than one installment) will be considered one of a series of separate payments for purposes of Section 409A.

“Separation from Service” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 409A which includes when the Company reasonably anticipates that your level of Services will permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of Services you have performed over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or such lesser period of your Service with the Company and its Affiliates), which shall be interpreted consistently with the provisions of Section 409A. It is intended that the Agreement comply with Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Agreement will be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Section 409A.
