Matching Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”) pursuant to the Hologic, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company and the Grantee entered into an Employment Agreement and a Change of Control Agreement, both dated as of December 6, 2013 (the “Employment Agreement” and “Change of Control Agreement”, respectively);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Company agreed to grant the Grantee matching Restricted Stock Units (“Matching RSUs”) in respect of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in connection with the Grantee’s purchase of Purchased Shares (as defined in the Employment Agreement);

WHEREAS, during the immediately preceding calendar month the Grantee has acquired the number of Purchased Shares equal to the number of Matching RSUs set forth in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units to which this Award Agreement is attached (the “Award Notice”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Grantee desire to enter into an agreement whereby the Company will grant the Grantee the number of Matching RSUs equal to the number of Purchased Shares acquired by the Grantee during the immediately preceding calendar month as set forth in the Award Notice.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Grantee agree as follows:

1. Grant of Matching RSUs. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference), the Company hereby grants to the Grantee the number of Matching RSUs as provided in the Award Notice. The shares of Common Stock covered by these Matching RSUs are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “RSU Shares”. The number and class of securities and vesting schedule of the Matching RSUs are subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

2. Restricted Stock Units. Each Matching RSU entitles the Grantee to receive from the Company (i) one share of Common Stock for each RSU Share vested as of a Vesting Date (as defined below) and (ii) the right to receive notional dividend equivalents, if any, each in accordance with the terms of this Award Agreement and the Plan. As soon as practical after a Vesting Date, the Company shall deliver the RSU Shares which have vested on that date.

3. Dividend Equivalents. Until the Vesting Date, whenever dividends are paid or distributed with respect to the Common Stock, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive notional dividend equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) in an amount equal in value to the amount of the dividend or property distributed on a single share of Common Stock, multiplied by the number of Matching RSUs credited to the Grantee’s account as of the record date for such dividend or distribution. Payment of the notional dividend equivalents paid on Matching RSUs will be withheld by the Company and shall be delivered to the Grantee as of the Vesting Date, if and only to the extent that the Matching RSUs have vested as of said date, as set forth in paragraph 4.

4. Vesting. The Matching RSUs granted hereby will vest on the earlier to occur of (i) the Restriction Lapse Dates as provided in the Award Notice with respect to the number of shares as provided in the Award Notice for each such date, (ii) in their entirety on the termination of the Grantee’s Service (as defined below) as a result of the death or Permanent Disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code)

of the Grantee, or (iii) in their entirety, if the Company consummates a Change of Control (as defined in the Change of Control Agreement) and during the Change of Control Period (as defined in the Change of Control Agreement) either (A) the Company terminates the Grantee’s employment other than for Cause (as defined in the Change of Control Agreement) or (B) the Grantee terminates employment with the Company for Good Reason (as defined in the Change of Control Agreement); provided that in each of (i), (ii) and (iii) (x) the Grantee has remained in continuous Service through such date or termination, as applicable (the “Vesting Date”) and (y) the Grantee has not sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (including entering into any contract to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of) any shares of Common Stock that constitute Purchased Shares prior to such Vesting Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Service” shall mean service as a Service Provider to the Company; and the term “Service Provider” shall mean an employee, officer or director of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company or a consultant currently providing services to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. Whether a termination of Service shall have occurred for purposes of this Agreement shall be determined by the Company, which determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. If the Grantee’s Service is terminated prior to the Vesting Date, then the unvested Matching RSUs shall immediately terminate and Grantee shall have no further rights hereunder, including without limitation any rights to receive any Dividend Equivalents as set forth in paragraph 3.

5. Nontransferability. The Matching RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement may not be transferred without the consent of the Company, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

6. No Rights Other Than Those Expressly Created. Neither this Award Agreement, the Matching RSUs, nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as (i) giving the Grantee any right to be retained in the Service of, or continue to be affiliated with, the Company, (ii) giving the Grantee any equity or interest of any kind in any assets of the Company, or (iii) creating a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship of any kind between the Grantee and the Company. As to any claim for any unpaid amounts or distributions under this Award Agreement, any person having a claim for payments shall be an unsecured creditor. The Grantee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any RSU Shares or any Dividend Equivalents until such time as the underlying Matching RSU has been vested and the RSU Shares have been issued.

7. Compliance with Laws.

(a) Withholding of Taxes. Pursuant to applicable federal, state, local or foreign laws, the Company may be required to collect or withhold income or other taxes from Grantee upon the Vesting Date or at some other time. The Company may require, upon the Vesting Date, or demand, at such other time as it may consider appropriate, that the Grantee pay the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company may determine is required to be collected or withheld, and the Grantee shall comply with the requirement or demand of the Company.

(b) Section 280G. In the event that the Grantee shall become entitled to payments and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the “nature of compensation” as a result of a Change of Control (the “Company Payments”), and such Company Payments will be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or similar provision, except as may otherwise be provided in the Change of Control Agreement.

(c) Securities Law Compliance. Upon vesting (or partial vesting) of the Matching RSUs granted hereunder, the Grantee shall make such representations and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company to issue or transfer the RSU Shares in compliance with the provisions of applicable federal or state securities laws. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance and delivery of RSU Shares until completion of such registration or other qualification of such shares under any federal or state laws, or stock exchange listing, as the Company may consider appropriate. In addition, the Company may require that prior to the issuance or transfer of RSU Shares, the Grantee enter into a written agreement to comply with any restrictions on subsequent disposition that the Company deems necessary or advisable under any applicable federal and state securities laws. The RSU Shares issued hereunder may be legended to reflect such restrictions.

(d) General. No RSU Shares shall be issued or Dividend Equivalents distributed upon vesting of a Matching RSU granted hereunder unless and until the Company is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that there has been compliance with all legal requirements applicable to the issuance of such RSU Shares and/or distribution of such Dividend Equivalents.

8. Miscellaneous.

(b) Recoupment/Claw-Back of Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement to the contrary, any Matching RSU granted under this Award Agreement (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received upon any receipt or exercise of any Matching RSU or upon the receipt or resale of any share of Common Stock underlying the Matching RSU) shall be subject to the terms of any compensation recoupment or claw-back policy implemented by the Company, as any such policy may be amended from time to time, and/or subject to recoupment as required by any other provisions of any law (including, without limitation, Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement.

(c) Discretion of the Committee. Unless otherwise explicitly provided herein, the Board of Directors of the Company, or an authorized committee thereof, shall make all determinations required to be made hereunder, including determinations required to be made by the Company, and shall interpret all provisions of this Award Agreement and the underlying Matching RSUs, as it deems necessary or desirable, in its sole and unfettered discretion. Such determinations and interpretations shall be binding on and conclusive to the Company and the Grantee. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company may require Grantee to provide the Company with such information as it may reasonably request to confirm that the Grantee has not sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (including entering into any contract to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of) prior to the Vesting Date any shares of Common Stock that constitute Purchased Shares as a further condition to confirm the vesting of the Matching RSUs granted hereunder.
