 Hologic, Inc. 
 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”). 
 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Grantee desire to enter into an agreement whereby the Company will grant the
Grantee Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) in respect of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), as set forth in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units to which this Award Agreement is
attached (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 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 RSUs as provided in the Award Notice. The shares of Common Stock covered by these RSUs are sometimes hereinafter
referred to as the “RSU Shares”. The number and class of securities and vesting schedule of the 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 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 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 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 RSUs have vested as of said date, as set forth in paragraph 4.
 4. Vesting. The 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, or (ii) in their entirety on the earlier to occur of
(A) the termination of the Grantee’s Service (as defined below) as a result of the death or Permanent Disability (as defined in Section 23(e)(3) of the Code) of the Grantee or (B) the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined
in the Plan); provided that in each such case (referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), above), the Grantee has remained in continuous Service through such date, termination or Change of Control, as applicable (the “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 RSUs shall 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 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 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 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) Securities Law Compliance. Upon vesting (or partial vesting) of the 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. 
 (c) General. No RSU Shares shall be issued or Dividend Equivalents distributed upon
vesting of an 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. 
 (a) 409A Compliance. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay payments hereunder or make such other modifications with respect to the issuance of stock hereunder as it reasonably deems necessary to comply with
Section 409A of the Code and interpretative guidance thereunder. 
 (b) 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 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. 
 (c) Amendment. This Award Agreement may only be modified or amended by a writing signed by both parties.
