1.            History;
Effective Date.


 


WHOLE EARTH BRANDS, INC., a Delaware
corporation (“Whole Earth Brands”), has established the WHOLE EARTH BRANDS, INC. 2020 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE
PLAN, as set forth herein, and as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”). The Plan was adopted
by the Board of Directors of Whole Earth Brands (the “Board”) on June 24, 2020. The Plan shall become and
is effective as of the date that it is approved by the stockholders of Whole Earth Brands (the “Effective Date”).


 


2.            Purposes
of the Plan.


 


The Plan is designed to:


 


(a)           promote
the long-term financial interests and growth of Whole Earth Brands and its Subsidiaries (together, the “Company”)
by attracting and retaining management and other personnel and key service providers with the training, experience and ability
to enable them to make a substantial contribution to the success of the Company’s business;


 


(b)           motivate
management personnel by means of growth-related incentives to achieve long-range goals; and


 


(c)           further
the alignment of interests of Participants with those of the stockholders of Whole Earth Brands through opportunities for increased
stock or stock-based ownership in Whole Earth Brands.


 


Toward these objectives, the Administrator
may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, stock units, performance shares, performance units, and other
stock-based awards to eligible individuals on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan.


 


3.            Terminology.


 


Except as otherwise specifically provided
in an Award Agreement, capitalized words and phrases used in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in
the glossary at Section 17 of the Plan or as defined the first place such word or phrase appears in the Plan.


 


4.            Administration.


 


(a)           Administration
of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator.


 


(b)           Powers
of the Administrator. The Administrator shall, except as otherwise provided under the Plan, have plenary authority, in its
sole and absolute discretion, to grant Awards pursuant to the terms of the Plan to Eligible Individuals and to take all other actions
necessary or desirable to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan. Among other things, the Administrator shall have the authority,
in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan to:


 


(i)             determine
the Eligible Individuals to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards shall be granted;


 


(ii)            determine
the types of Awards to be granted any Eligible Individual;


 


(iii)           determine
the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by or used for reference purposes for each Award or the value to be transferred
pursuant to any Award;


 






    1


     


    

 


(iv)          determine
the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to each Award (which need not be identical) and any shares acquired pursuant
thereto, including, without limitation, (A) the purchase price of any shares of Common Stock, (B) the method of payment
for shares purchased pursuant to any Award, (C) the method for satisfying any tax withholding obligation arising in connection
with any Award, including by the withholding or delivery of shares of Common Stock, (D) subject to Section 7(b), the
timing, terms and conditions of the exercisability, vesting or payout of any Award or any shares acquired pursuant thereto, (E) the
Performance Goals applicable to any Award and the extent to which such Performance Goals have been attained, (F) the time
of the expiration of any Award, (G) the effect of the Participant’s Termination of Service on any of the foregoing,
and (H) all other terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to any Award or shares acquired pursuant thereto as the Administrator
shall consider to be appropriate and not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan;


 


(v)           subject
to Sections 7(f) and 15, modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any Award;


 


(vi)          subject
to Section 7(b), accelerate or otherwise change the time at or during which an Award may be exercised or becomes payable and
waive or accelerate the lapse, in whole or in part, of any restriction, condition or risk of forfeiture with respect to such Award;
provided, however, that, except in connection with death, disability or a Change in Control, no such change, waiver
or acceleration shall be made to any Award that is considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Code if the effect of such action is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code;


 


(vii)         determine
whether an Award will be paid or settled in cash, shares of Common Stock, or in any combination thereof and whether, to what extent
and under what circumstances cash or shares of Common Stock payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred either automatically
or at the election of the Participant;


 


(viii)        for
any purpose, including but not limited to, qualifying for preferred or beneficial tax treatment, accommodating the customs or administrative
challenges or otherwise complying with the tax, accounting or regulatory requirements of one or more jurisdictions, adopt, amend,
modify, administer or terminate sub-plans, appendices, special provisions or supplements applicable to Awards regulated by the
laws of a particular jurisdiction, which sub-plans, appendices, supplements and special provisions may take precedence over other
provisions of the Plan, and prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to such sub-plans, supplements and
special provisions;


 


(ix)           establish
any “blackout” period, during which transactions affecting Awards may not be effectuated, that the Administrator in
its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable;


 


(x)            determine
the Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock or other property for any purpose under the Plan or any Award;


 


(xi)           administer,
construe and interpret the Plan, Award Agreements and all other documents relevant to the Plan and Awards issued thereunder, and
decide all other matters to be determined in connection with an Award;


 


(xii)          establish,
amend, rescind and interpret such administrative rules, regulations, agreements, guidelines, instruments and practices for the
administration of the Plan and for the conduct of its business as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable;


 


(xiii)         correct
any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement in the manner and
to the extent the Administrator shall consider it desirable to carry it into effect; and


 


(xiv)        otherwise
administer the Plan and all Awards granted under the Plan.


 






    2


     


    

 


(c)           Delegation
of Administrative Authority. The Administrator may designate officers or employees of the Company to assist the Administrator
in the administration of the Plan and, to the extent permitted by applicable law and stock exchange rules, the Administrator may
delegate to officers or other employees of the Company the Administrator’s duties and powers under the Plan, subject to such
conditions and limitations as the Administrator shall prescribe, including without limitation the authority to execute agreements
or other documents on behalf of the Administrator; provided, however, that such delegation of authority shall not extend to the
granting of, or exercise of discretion with respect to, Awards to Eligible Individuals who are officers under Section 16 of
the Exchange Act.


 


(d)            Non-Uniform
Determinations. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan (including without limitation, determinations of the
persons to receive Awards, the form, amount and timing of such Awards, the terms and provisions of such Awards and the Award Agreements
evidencing such Awards, and the ramifications of a Change in Control upon outstanding Awards) need not be uniform and may be made
by the Administrator selectively among Awards or persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether
or not such persons are similarly situated.


 


(e)            Limited
Liability; Advisors. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no member of the Administrator shall be liable for any action
taken or decision made in good faith relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder. The Administrator may employ counsel, consultants,
accountants, appraisers, brokers or other persons. The Administrator, Whole Earth Brands, and the officers and directors of Whole
Earth Brands shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons.


 


(f)            Indemnification.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, by Whole Earth Brands’s charter and by-laws, and by any directors’ and officers’
liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time, the members of the Administrator and any agent or delegate
of the Administrator who is a director, officer or employee of Whole Earth Brands or an Affiliate shall be indemnified by Whole
Earth Brands against any and all liabilities and expenses to which they may be subjected by reason of any act or failure to act
with respect to their duties on behalf of the Plan.


 


(g)           Effect
of Administrator’s Decision. All actions taken and determinations made by the Administrator on all matters relating to
the Plan or any Award pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be in the Administrator’s sole and absolute discretion,
unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan, including, without limitation, any determination involving the appropriateness
or equitableness of any action. All determinations made by the Administrator shall be conclusive, final and binding on all parties
concerned, including Whole Earth Brands, its stockholders, any Participants and any other employee, consultant, or director of
Whole Earth Brands and its Affiliates, and their respective successors in interest. No member of the Administrator, nor any director,
officer, employee or representative of Whole Earth Brands shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation
made in good faith with respect to the Plan or Awards.


 


5.            Shares
Issuable Pursuant to Awards.


 


(a)           Initial
Share Pool. As of the Effective Date, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to Awards that may be granted
under the Plan (the “Share Pool”) shall be equal to 9,300,000 shares.


 


(b)            Adjustments
to Share Pool. On and after the Effective Date, the Share Pool shall be adjusted, in addition to any adjustments
to be made pursuant to Section 10 of the Plan, as follows:


 


(i)            The
Share Pool shall be reduced, on the date of grant, by one share for each share of Common Stock made subject to an Award granted
under the Plan;


 


(ii)           The
Share Pool shall be increased, on the relevant date, by the number of unissued shares of Common Stock underlying or used as a reference
measure for any Award or portion of an Award that is cancelled, forfeited, expired, terminated unearned or settled in cash, in
any such case without the issuance of shares;


 






    3


     


    

 


(iii)          The
Share Pool shall be increased, on the forfeiture date, by the number of shares of Common Stock that are forfeited back to Whole
Earth Brands after issuance due to a failure to meet an Award contingency or condition with respect to any Award or portion of
an Award;


 


For the avoidance of doubt, the Share Pool
shall not be increased by (A) shares of Common Stock used as a reference measure for any Award granted under this Plan that
are not issued upon settlement of such Award due to a net settlement, (B) shares of Common Stock withheld by or surrendered
(either actually or through attestation) to Whole Earth Brands in payment of the exercise price of any Award, (C) shares of
Common Stock withheld by or surrendered (either actually or through attestation) to Whole Earth Brands in payment of the Tax Withholding
Obligation that arises in connection with any Award, or (D) shares of Common Stock have been reacquired by the Company in
the open market using the proceeds of amounts received upon the exercise of stock options.


 


(c)           ISO
Limit. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 10 of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may
be issued pursuant to stock options granted under the Plan that are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options within the meaning
of Section 422 of the Code shall be equal to the number of shares in the Share Pool as of the Effective Date of the Plan.


 


(d)           Source
of Shares. The shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan shall be shares authorized for
issuance under Whole Earth Brand’s charter but unissued, or issued and reacquired, including without limitation shares purchased
in the open market or in private transactions.


 


6.            Participation.


 


Participation in the Plan shall be open
to all Eligible Individuals, as may be selected by the Administrator from time to time. The Administrator may also grant Awards
to Eligible Individuals in connection with hiring, recruiting or otherwise, prior to the date the individual first performs services
for Whole Earth Brands or a Subsidiary; provided, however, that such Awards shall not become vested or exercisable,
and no shares shall be issued to such individual, prior to the date the individual first commences performance of such services.


 


7.            Awards.


 


(a)            Awards, In
General. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall establish the terms of all Awards granted under the Plan consistent
with the terms of the Plan. Awards may be granted individually or in tandem with other types of Awards, concurrently with or with
respect to outstanding Awards. All Awards are subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Award Agreement, which shall
be delivered to the Participant receiving such Award upon, or as promptly as is reasonably practicable following, the grant of
such Award. Unless otherwise specified by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, or otherwise provided in the Award Agreement,
an Award shall not be effective unless the Award Agreement is signed or otherwise accepted by Whole Earth Brands and the Participant
receiving the Award (including by electronic delivery and/or electronic signature).


 






    4


     


    

 


(b)            Minimum
Restriction Period for Awards. Except as provided below and notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, each
Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to a minimum Restriction Period of 12 months from the date of grant if vesting of
or lapse of restrictions on such Award is based on the Participant’s satisfaction of specified service requirements with
the Company or performance conditions. Except as provided below and notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
the Administrator shall not have discretionary authority to waive the minimum Restriction Period applicable to an Award, except
in the case of death, disability, retirement, termination of employment, or a Change in Control. Notwithstanding any provision
of the Plan to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 7(b) shall not apply and/or may be waived, in the Administrator’s
discretion, with respect to up to the number of Awards that is equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate Share Pool as of the
Effective Date.


 


(c)            Stock
Options.


 


(i)            Grants.
A stock option means a right to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock from Whole Earth Brands at a specified price
during a specified period of time. The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards of Incentive Stock
Options or Nonqualified Options; provided, however, that Awards of Incentive Stock Options shall be limited to employees
of Whole Earth Brands or of any current or hereafter existing “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation,”
as defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code, respectively, of Whole Earth Brands, and any other Eligible Individuals
who are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. No stock option shall
be an Incentive Stock Option unless so designated by the Administrator at the time of grant or in the applicable Award Agreement.


 


(ii)           Exercise.
Stock options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the
Administrator; provided, however, that Awards of stock options may not have a term in excess of ten years’ duration
unless required otherwise by applicable law. The exercise price per share subject to a stock option granted under the Plan shall
not be less than the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the stock option, except as provided
under applicable law or with respect to stock options that are granted in substitution of similar types of awards of a company
acquired by Whole Earth Brands or a Subsidiary or with which Whole Earth Brands or a Subsidiary combines (whether in connection
with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, combination, consolidation or acquisition of property or stock, or otherwise) to
preserve the intrinsic value of such awards.


 


(iii)          Termination
of Service. Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise determined by the Administrator, to the extent
stock options are not vested and exercisable, a Participant’s stock options shall be forfeited upon his or her Termination
of Service.


 


(iv)          Additional
Terms and Conditions. The Administrator may, by way of the Award Agreement or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions,
restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, of any Award of stock options, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan.


 


(d)           Limitation
on Reload Options. The Administrator shall not grant stock options under this Plan that contain a reload or replenishment feature
pursuant to which a new stock option would be granted automatically upon receipt of delivery of Common Stock to Whole Earth Brands
in payment of the exercise price or any tax withholding obligation under any other stock option.


 






    5


     


    

 


(e)           Stock
Appreciation Rights.


 


(i)            Grants.
 The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards of stock appreciation rights. A stock appreciation
right entitles the Participant to receive, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement, a payment having an aggregate
value equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of Common
Stock over (B) the base price per share specified in the Award Agreement, times (ii) the number of shares specified by
the stock appreciation right, or portion thereof, which is exercised. The base price per share specified in the Award Agreement
shall not be less than the lower of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant or the exercise price of any tandem stock option
to which the stock appreciation right is related, or with respect to stock appreciation rights that are granted in substitution
of similar types of awards of a company acquired by Whole Earth Brands or a Subsidiary or with which Whole Earth Brands or a Subsidiary
combines (whether in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, combination, consolidation or acquisition of property
or stock, or otherwise) such base price as is necessary to preserve the intrinsic value of such awards.


 


(ii)           Exercise.
Stock appreciation rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined
by the Administrator; provided, however, that stock appreciation rights granted under the Plan may not have a term in excess
of ten years’ duration unless required otherwise by applicable law. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify whether
payment by Whole Earth Brands of the amount receivable upon any exercise of a stock appreciation right is to be made in cash or
shares of Common Stock or a combination of both, or shall reserve to the Administrator or the Participant the right to make that
determination prior to or upon the exercise of the stock appreciation right. If upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right
a Participant is to receive a portion of such payment in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing
such portion by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date. No fractional shares shall be used for such
payment and the Administrator shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional
shares shall be eliminated.


 


(iii)          Termination
of Service. Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise determined by the Administrator, to the extent
stock appreciation rights are not vested and exercisable, a Participant’s stock appreciation rights shall be forfeited upon
his or her Termination of Service.


 


(iv)          Additional
Terms and Conditions. The Administrator may, by way of the Award Agreement or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions,
restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, of any Award of stock appreciation rights, provided they are not inconsistent
with the Plan.


 


(f)            Repricing.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except in connection with a corporate transaction involving Whole Earth Brands
(including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), the terms of options and stock appreciation rights
granted under the Plan may not be amended, after the date of grant, to reduce the exercise price of such options or stock appreciation
rights, nor may outstanding options or stock appreciation rights be canceled in exchange for (i) cash, (ii) options or
stock appreciation rights with an exercise price or base price that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original
outstanding options or stock appreciation rights, or (iii) other Awards, unless such action is approved by Whole Earth Brand’s
stockholders.


 


(g)           Stock
Awards.


 


(i)            Grants.
The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards of unrestricted Common Stock or Restricted Stock (collectively,
 “Stock Awards”) on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such
minimum consideration as may be required by law, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 7(b). Stock Awards shall be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may deem appropriate, including via book-entry
registration.


 


(ii)           Vesting.
Restricted Stock shall be subject to such vesting, restrictions on transferability and other restrictions, if any, and/or risk
of forfeiture as the Administrator may impose at the date of grant or thereafter. The Restriction Period to which such vesting,
restrictions and/or risk of forfeiture apply may lapse under such circumstances, including without limitation upon the attainment
of Performance Goals, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Administrator may determine. Subject to the provisions of the
Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, during the Restriction Period, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign,
transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber shares of Restricted Stock.


 






    6


     


    

 


(iii)          Rights
of a Stockholder; Dividends. Except to the extent restricted under the Award Agreement relating to the Restricted Stock, a
Participant granted Restricted Stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of Common Stock including, without limitation,
the right to vote Restricted Stock. Cash dividends declared payable on Common Stock shall be paid, with respect to outstanding
Restricted Stock, either as soon as practicable following the dividend payment date or deferred for payment to such later date
as determined by the Administrator, and shall be paid in cash or as unrestricted shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value
equal to the amount of such dividends or may be reinvested in additional shares of Restricted Stock as determined by the Administrator;
provided, however, that dividends declared payable on Restricted Stock that is granted as a Performance Award shall
be held by Whole Earth Brands and made subject to forfeiture at least until achievement of the applicable Performance Goal related
to such shares of Restricted Stock. Stock distributed in connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and other property distributed
as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect
to which such Common Stock or other property has been distributed. As soon as is practicable following the date on which restrictions
on any shares of Restricted Stock lapse, Whole Earth Brands shall deliver to the Participant the certificates for such shares or
shall cause the shares to be registered in the Participant’s name in book-entry form, in either case with the restrictions
removed, provided that the Participant shall have complied with all conditions for delivery of such shares contained in the Award
Agreement or otherwise reasonably required by Whole Earth Brands.


 


(iv)          Termination
of Service. Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, upon Termination of Service during the applicable Restriction
Period, Restricted Stock and any accrued but unpaid dividends that are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited;
provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7(b), the Administrator may provide, by rule or
regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating
to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Administrator
may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Stock.


 


(v)           Additional
Terms and Conditions. The Administrator may, by way of the Award Agreement or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions,
restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, of any Award of Restricted Stock, provided they are not inconsistent with the
Plan.


 


(h)           Stock
Units.


 


(i)            Grants.
The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards of unrestricted stock Units or Restricted Stock Units
on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required
by law, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7(b). Restricted Stock Units
represent a contractual obligation by Whole Earth Brands to deliver a number of shares of Common Stock, an amount in cash equal
to the Fair Market Value of the specified number of shares subject to the Award, or a combination of shares of Common Stock and
cash, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement.


 


(ii)           Vesting
and Payment. Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such vesting, risk of forfeiture and/or payment provisions as the Administrator
may impose at the date of grant. The Restriction Period to which such vesting and/or risk of forfeiture apply may lapse under such
circumstances, including without limitation upon the attainment of Performance Goals, in such installments, or otherwise, as the
Administrator may determine. Shares of Common Stock, cash or a combination of shares of Common Stock and cash, as applicable, payable
in settlement of Restricted Stock Units shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable, but no later
than 30 days, after the date on which payment is due under the terms of the Award Agreement provided that the Participant
shall have complied with all conditions for delivery of such shares or payment contained in the Award Agreement or otherwise reasonably
required by Whole Earth Brands, or in accordance with an election of the Participant, if the Administrator so permits, that meets
the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.


 






    7


     


    

 


(iii)          No
Rights of a Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents. Until shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant in settlement of
stock Units, the Participant shall not have any rights of a stockholder of Whole Earth Brands with respect to the stock Units or
the shares issuable thereunder. The Administrator may grant to the Participant the right to receive Dividend Equivalents on stock
Units, on a current, reinvested and/or restricted basis, subject to such terms as the Administrator may determine provided,
however, that Dividend Equivalents payable on stock Units that are granted as a Performance Award shall, rather than be
paid on a current basis, be accrued and made subject to forfeiture at least until achievement of the applicable Performance Goal
related to such stock Units.


 


(iv)          Termination
of Service. Upon Termination of Service during the applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture conditions
apply, or upon failure to satisfy any other conditions precedent to the delivery of shares of Common Stock or cash to which such
Restricted Stock Units relate, all Restricted Stock Units and any accrued but unpaid Dividend Equivalents with respect to such
Restricted Stock Units that are then subject to deferral or restriction shall be forfeited; provided that, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 7(b), the Administrator may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement,
or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock Units will be
waived in whole or in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes, and the Administrator may in other cases
waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units.


 


(v)           Additional
Terms and Conditions. The Administrator may, by way of the Award Agreement or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions,
restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, of any Award of stock Units, provided they are not inconsistent with the Plan.


 


(i)            Performance
Shares and Performance Units.


 


(i)            Grants.
The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards in the form of Performance Shares and Performance
Units. Performance Shares, as that term is used in this Plan, shall refer to shares of Common Stock or Units that are expressed
in terms of Common Stock, the issuance, vesting, lapse of restrictions on or payment of which is contingent on performance as measured
against predetermined objectives over a specified Performance Period. Performance Units, as that term is used in this Plan, shall
refer to dollar-denominated Units valued by reference to designated criteria established by the Administrator, other than Common
Stock, the issuance, vesting, lapse of restrictions on or payment of which is contingent on performance as measured against predetermined
objectives over a specified Performance Period. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify whether Performance Shares and Performance
Units will be settled or paid in cash or shares of Common Stock or a combination of both, or shall reserve to the Administrator
or the Participant the right to make that determination prior to or at the payment or settlement date.


 






    8


     


    

 


(ii)           Performance
Criteria. The Administrator shall, prior to or at the time of grant, condition the grant, vesting or payment of, or lapse of
restrictions on, an Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units upon (A) the attainment of Performance Goals during a
Performance Period or (B) the attainment of Performance Goals and the continued service of the Participant. The length of
the Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be achieved during the Performance Period, and the measure of whether and to what
degree such Performance Goals have been attained shall be conclusively determined by the Administrator in the exercise of its absolute
discretion. Performance Goals may include minimum, maximum and target levels of performance, with the size of the Award or payout
of Performance Shares or Performance Units or the vesting or lapse of restrictions with respect thereto based on the level attained.
Performance Goals may be applied on a per share or absolute basis and relative to one or more Performance Metrics, or any combination
thereof, and may be measured pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), non-GAAP or
other objective standards in a manner consistent with Whole Earth Brands’ or its Subsidiary’s established accounting
policies, all as the Administrator shall determine at the time the Performance Goals for a Performance Period are established.
The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide that one or more objectively determinable adjustments shall be made to the
manner in which one or more of the Performance Goals is to be calculated or measured to take into account, or ignore, one or more
of the following: (1) items related to a change in accounting principle; (2) items relating to financing activities;
(3) expenses for restructuring or productivity initiatives; (4) other non-operating items; (5) items related to
acquisitions; (6) items attributable to the business operations of any entity acquired by the Company during the Performance
Period; (7) items related to the sale or disposition of a business or segment of a business; (8) items related to discontinued
operations that do not qualify as a segment of a business under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; (9) items attributable
to any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of stock occurring during the Performance Period; (10) any other
items of significant income or expense which are determined to be appropriate adjustments; (11) items relating to unusual
or extraordinary corporate transactions, events or developments, (12) items related to amortization of acquired intangible
assets; (13) items that are outside the scope of the Company’s core, on-going business activities; (14) changes
in foreign currency exchange rates; (15) items relating to changes in tax laws; (16) certain identified expenses (including,
but not limited to, cash bonus expenses, incentive expenses and acquisition-related transaction and integration expenses); (17) items
relating to asset impairment charges; (18) items relating to gains or unusual or nonrecurring events or changes in applicable
law, accounting principles or business conditions; or (19) other adjustment as determined by the Administrator. An Award of Performance
Shares or Performance Units shall be settled as and when the Award vests or at a later time specified in the Award Agreement or
in accordance with an election of the Participant, if the Administrator so permits, that meets the requirements of Section 409A
of the Code.


 


(iii)          Additional
Terms and Conditions. The Administrator may, by way of the Award Agreement or otherwise, determine such other terms, conditions,
restrictions, and/or limitations, if any, of any Award of Performance Shares or Performance Units, provided they are not
inconsistent with the Plan.


 


(j)            Other
Stock-Based Awards. The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards in the form of Other Stock-Based
Awards. Other Stock-Based Awards in the form of Dividend Equivalents may be (A) awarded on a free-standing basis or in connection
with another Award other than a stock option or stock appreciation right, (B) paid currently or credited to an account for
the Participant, including the reinvestment of such credited amounts in Common Stock equivalents, to be paid on a deferred basis,
and (C) settled in cash or Common Stock as determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that Dividend
Equivalents payable on Other Stock-Based Awards that are granted as a Performance Award shall, rather than be paid on a current
basis, be accrued and made subject to forfeiture at least until achievement of the applicable Performance Goal related to such
Other Stock-Based Awards. Any such settlements, and any such crediting of Dividend Equivalents, may be subject to such conditions,
restrictions and contingencies as the Administrator shall establish.


 


(k)           Awards
to Participants Outside the United States. The Administrator may grant Awards to Eligible Individuals who are foreign nationals,
who are located outside the United States or who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are
otherwise subject to (or could cause Whole Earth Brands or a Subsidiary to be subject to) tax, legal or regulatory provisions of
countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as
may, in the judgment of the Administrator, be necessary or desirable in order that any such Award shall conform to laws, regulations,
and customs of the country or jurisdiction in which the Participant is then resident or primarily employed or to foster and promote
achievement of the purposes of the Plan.


 


(l)            Limitation
on Dividend Reinvestment and Dividend Equivalents. Reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of
any dividend payment, and the payment of shares of Common Stock with respect to dividends to Participants holding Awards of stock
Units, shall only be permissible if sufficient shares are available under the Share Pool for such reinvestment or payment (taking
into account then outstanding Awards). In the event that sufficient shares are not available under the Share Pool for such reinvestment
or payment, such reinvestment or payment shall be made in the form of a grant of stock Units equal in number to the shares of Common
Stock that would have been obtained by such payment or reinvestment, the terms of which stock Units shall provide for settlement
in cash and for Dividend Equivalent reinvestment in further stock Units on the terms contemplated by this Section 7(j).


 






    9


     


    

 


8.            Withholding
of Taxes.


 


Participants and holders of Awards shall
pay to Whole Earth Brands or its Affiliate, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any Tax Withholding
Obligation in respect of Awards granted under the Plan no later than the date of the event creating the tax or social insurance
contribution liability. The obligations of Whole Earth Brands under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements.
Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Tax Withholding Obligations may be settled in whole or in part with shares of
Common Stock, including unrestricted outstanding shares surrendered to Whole Earth Brands and unrestricted shares that are part
of the Award that gives rise to the Tax Withholding Obligation, having a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or withholding
equal to the statutory minimum amount required, (or such greater amount permitted under FASB Accounting Standards Codification
Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, for equity-classified awards) to be withheld for tax or social insurance contribution
purposes, all in accordance with such procedures as the Administrator establishes. Whole Earth Brands or its Affiliate may deduct,
to the extent permitted by law, any such Tax Withholding Obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant
or holder of an Award.


 


9.            Transferability
of Awards.


 


(a)           General Nontransferability Absent
Administrator Permission. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, and in any event in the case of an Incentive
Stock Option or a tandem stock appreciation right granted with respect to an Incentive Stock Option, no Award granted under the
Plan shall be transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Administrator shall
not permit any transfer of an Award for value. An Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant
or, during the period the Participant is under a legal disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative,
unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. Awards granted under the Plan shall not be subject in any manner to alienation,
anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator; provided,
however, that the restrictions in this sentence shall not apply to the shares of Common Stock received in connection with an
Award after the date that the restrictions on transferability of such shares set forth in the applicable Award Agreement have lapsed.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted or construed as overriding the terms of any Whole Earth Brands stock ownership or
retention policy, now or hereafter existing, that may apply to the Participant or shares of Common Stock received under an Award.


 


(b)           Administrator Discretion to
Permit Transfers Other Than For Value. Except as otherwise restricted by applicable law, the Administrator may, but need not,
permit an Award, other than an Incentive Stock Option or a tandem stock appreciation right granted with respect to an Incentive
Stock Option, to be transferred to a Participant’s Family Member (as defined below) as a gift or pursuant to a domestic relations
order in settlement of marital property rights. The Administrator shall not permit any transfer of an Award for value. For purposes
of this Section 9, “Family Member” means any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse,
former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law,
including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust
in which these persons have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the Participant)
control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty percent
(50%) of the voting interests. The following transactions are not prohibited transfers for value: (i) a transfer under a domestic
relations order in settlement of marital property rights; and (ii) a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent
of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Participant) in exchange for an interest in that entity.


 






    10


     


    

 


10.          Adjustments
for Corporate Transactions and Other Events.


 


(a)           Mandatory
Adjustments. In the event of a merger, consolidation, stock rights offering, statutory share exchange or similar event affecting
Whole Earth Brands (each, a “Corporate Event”) or a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, separation,
spinoff, reorganization, extraordinary dividend of cash or other property, share combination or subdivision, or recapitalization
or similar event affecting the capital structure of Whole Earth Brands (each, a “Share Change”) that occurs
at any time after adoption of this Plan by the Board (including any such Corporate Event or Share Change that occurs after such
adoption and coincident with or prior to the Effective Date), the Administrator shall make equitable and appropriate substitutions
or proportionate adjustments to (i) the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock or other securities on which Awards
under the Plan may be granted to Eligible Individuals, (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock or other securities
that may be issued with respect to Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan, (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock
or other securities covered by each outstanding Award and the exercise price, base price or other price per share, if any, and
other relevant terms of each outstanding Award, and (iv) all other numerical limitations relating to Awards, whether contained
in this Plan or in Award Agreements; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from any such adjustment
shall be eliminated.


 


(b)           Discretionary
Adjustments. In the case of Corporate Events, the Administrator may make such other adjustments to outstanding Awards as it
determines to be appropriate and desirable, which adjustments may include, without limitation, (i) the cancellation of outstanding
Awards in exchange for payments of cash, securities or other property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal
to the value of such Awards, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion (it being understood that in the case of
a Corporate Event with respect to which stockholders of Whole Earth Brands receive consideration other than publicly traded equity
securities of the ultimate surviving entity, any such determination by the Administrator that the value of a stock option or stock
appreciation right shall for this purpose be deemed to equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration being paid for
each share of Common Stock pursuant to such Corporate Event over the exercise price or base price of such stock option or stock
appreciation right shall conclusively be deemed valid and that any stock option or stock appreciation right may be cancelled for
no consideration upon a Corporate Event if its exercise price or base price equals or exceeds the value of the consideration being
paid for each share of Common Stock pursuant to such Corporate Event), (ii) the substitution of securities or other property
(including, without limitation, cash or other securities of Whole Earth Brands and securities of entities other than Whole Earth
Brands) for the shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the substitution of equivalent awards, as
determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, of the surviving or successor entity or a parent thereof (“Substitute
Awards”).


 


(c)            Adjustments
to Performance Goals. The Administrator may, in its discretion, adjust the Performance Goals applicable to any Awards to reflect
any unusual or non-recurring events and other extraordinary items, impact of charges for restructurings, discontinued operations
and the cumulative effects of accounting or tax changes, each as defined by generally accepted accounting principles or as identified
in Whole Earth Brand’s consolidated financial statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements, management’s
discussion and analysis or other Whole Earth Brands filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If the Administrator determines
that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of Whole Earth Brands or the applicable subsidiary,
business segment or other operational unit of Whole Earth Brands or any such entity or segment, or the manner in which any of the
foregoing conducts its business, or other events or circumstances, render the Performance Goals to be unsuitable, the Administrator
may modify such Performance Goals or the related minimum acceptable level of achievement, in whole or in part, as the Administrator
deems appropriate and equitable.


 






    11


     


    

 


(d)            Statutory
Requirements Affecting Adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 10
to Awards that are considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be
made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; (B) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 10
to Awards that are not considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in
such a manner as to ensure that after such adjustment, the Awards either (1) continue not to be subject to Section 409A
of the Code or (2) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; (C) in any event, the Administrator
shall not have the authority to make any adjustments pursuant to Section 10 to the extent the existence of such authority
would cause an Award that is not intended to be subject to Section 409A of the Code at the date of grant to be subject thereto;
and (D) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 10 to Awards that are Incentive Stock Options shall be made in compliance
with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.


 


(e)            Dissolution
or Liquidation. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, all Awards outstanding under the Plan shall terminate upon the
dissolution or liquidation of Whole Earth Brands.


 


11.          Change
in Control Provisions.


 


(a)            Termination
of Awards. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11(b), in the event that any transaction resulting in a Change in
Control occurs, outstanding Awards will terminate upon the effective time of such Change in Control unless provision is made in
connection with the transaction for the continuation or assumption of such Awards by, or for the issuance therefor of Substitute
Awards of, the surviving or successor entity or a parent thereof. Solely with respect to Awards that will terminate as a result
of the immediately preceding sentence and except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement:


 


(i)            the
outstanding Awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights that will terminate upon the effective time of the Change in
Control shall, immediately before the effective time of the Change in Control, become fully exercisable and the holders of such
Awards will be permitted, immediately before the Change in Control, to exercise the Awards;


 


(ii)           the
outstanding shares of Restricted Stock the vesting or restrictions on which are then solely time-based and not subject to achievement
of Performance Goals shall, immediately before the effective time of the Change in Control, become fully vested, free of all transfer
and lapse restrictions and free of all risks of forfeiture;


 


(iii)          the
outstanding shares of Restricted Stock the vesting or restrictions on which are then subject to and pending achievement of Performance
Goals shall, immediately before the effective time of the Change in Control and unless the Award Agreement provides for vesting
or lapsing of restrictions in a greater amount upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, become vested, free of transfer and
lapse restrictions and risks of forfeiture in such amounts as if the applicable Performance Goals for the unexpired Performance
Period had been achieved at the target level set forth in the applicable Award Agreement;


 


(iv)          the
outstanding Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units the vesting, earning or settlement of which is then
solely time-based and not subject to or pending achievement of Performance Goals shall, immediately before the effective time of
the Change in Control, become fully earned and vested and shall be settled in cash or shares of Common Stock (consistent with the
terms of the Award Agreement after taking into account the effect of the Change in Control transaction on the shares) as promptly
as is practicable, subject to any applicable limitations imposed thereon by Section 409A of the Code; and


 


(v)           the
outstanding Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units the vesting, earning or settlement of which is then
subject to and pending achievement of Performance Goals shall, immediately before the effective time of the Change in Control and
unless the Award Agreement provides for vesting, earning or settlement in a greater amount upon the occurrence of a Change in Control,
become vested and earned in such amounts as if the applicable Performance Goals for the unexpired Performance Period had been achieved
at the target level set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and shall be settled in cash or shares of Common Stock (consistent
with the terms of the Award Agreement after taking into account the effect of the Change in Control transaction on the shares)
as promptly as is practicable, subject to any applicable limitations imposed thereon by Section 409A of the Code.


 






    12


     


    

 


Implementation of the provisions of this
Section 11(a) shall be conditioned upon consummation of the Change in Control.


 


(b)           Continuation,
Assumption or Substitution of Awards. The administrator may specify, on or after the date of grant, in an award agreement or
amendment thereto, the consequences of a Participant’s Termination of Service that occurs coincident with or following the
occurrence of a Change in Control, if a Change in Control occurs under which provision is made in connection with the transaction
for the continuation or assumption of outstanding Awards by, or for the issuance therefor of Substitute Awards of, the surviving
or successor entity or a parent thereof.


 


(c)           Other
Permitted Actions. In the event that any transaction resulting in a Change in Control occurs, the Administrator may take any
of the actions set forth in Section 10 with respect to any or all Awards granted under the Plan.


 


(d)           Section 409A
Savings Clause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Award is considered to be a “nonqualified deferred compensation
plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, this Section 11 shall apply to such Award only to the extent
that its application would not result in the imposition of any tax or interest or the inclusion of any amount in income under Section 409A
of the Code.


 


12.          Substitution
of Awards in Mergers and Acquisitions.


 


Awards may be granted under the Plan from
time to time in substitution for assumed awards held by employees, officers, consultants or directors of entities who become employees,
officers, consultants or directors of Whole Earth Brands or a Subsidiary as the result of a merger or consolidation of the entity
for which they perform services with Whole Earth Brands or a Subsidiary, or the acquisition by Whole Earth Brands of the assets
or stock of the such entity. The terms and conditions of any Awards so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth
herein to the extent that the Administrator deems appropriate at the time of grant to conform the Awards to the provisions of the
assumed awards for which they are substituted and to preserve their intrinsic value as of the date of the merger, consolidation
or acquisition transaction. To the extent permitted by applicable law and marketplace or listing rules of the primary securities
market or exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading, any available shares under a stockholder-approved
plan of an acquired company (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for Awards granted pursuant to this
Section 12 and, upon such grant, shall not reduce the Share Pool.


 


13.          Compliance
with Securities Laws; Listing and Registration.


 


(a)           The
obligation of Whole Earth Brands to sell or deliver Common Stock with respect to any Award granted under the Plan shall be subject
to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal, state securities laws, and the obtaining
of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If at any time the
Administrator determines that the delivery of Common Stock under the Plan is or may be unlawful under the laws of any applicable
jurisdiction, or Federal, state or foreign (non-United States) securities laws, the right to exercise an Award or receive shares
of Common Stock pursuant to an Award shall be suspended until the Administrator determines that such delivery is lawful. If at
any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Common Stock under the Plan would or may violate the rules of any
exchange on which Whole Earth Brand’s securities are then listed for trade, the right to exercise an Award or receive shares
of Common Stock pursuant to an Award shall be suspended until the Administrator determines that such delivery would not violate
such rules. If the Administrator determines that the exercise or nonforfeitability of, or delivery of benefits pursuant to, any
Award would violate any applicable provision of securities laws or the listing requirements of any stock exchange upon which any
of Whole Earth Brand’s equity securities are listed, then the Administrator may postpone any such exercise, nonforfeitability
or delivery, as applicable, but Whole Earth Brands shall use all reasonable efforts to cause such exercise, nonforfeitability or
delivery to comply with all such provisions at the earliest practicable date.


 






    13


     


    

 


(b)           Each
Award is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Administrator determines, in its absolute discretion, that the listing,
registration or qualification of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any
state, federal or foreign (non-United States) law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary
or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of an Award or the issuance of Common Stock, no such Award shall
be granted or payment made or Common Stock issued, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or
approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Administrator.


 


(c)           In
the event that the disposition of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and is not otherwise exempt from such registration,
such Common Stock shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act or regulations thereunder,
and the Administrator may require a person receiving Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of
such Common Stock, to represent to Whole Earth Brands in writing that the Common Stock acquired by such person is acquired for
investment only and not with a view to distribution and that such person will not dispose of the Common Stock so acquired in violation
of Federal, state or foreign securities laws and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be
appropriate to permit the Company to issue the Common Stock in compliance with applicable Federal, state or foreign securities
laws.


 


14.          Section 409A
Compliance.


 


It is the intention of Whole Earth Brands
that any Award that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Code shall comply in all respects with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the imposition of any
tax or interest or the inclusion of any amount in income pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, and the terms of each such
Award shall be construed, administered and deemed amended, if applicable, in a manner consistent with this intention. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither Whole Earth Brands nor any of its Affiliates nor any of its or their directors, officers, employees, agents
or other service providers will be liable for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on any Participant or other person with
respect to any amounts paid or payable (whether in cash, shares of Common Stock or other property) under any Award, including any
taxes, penalties or interest imposed under or as a result of Section 409A of the Code. Any payments described in an Award
that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated
as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. For purposes of any Award, each amount to be paid or benefit
to be provided to a Participant that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be construed
as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code,
the payment of Dividend Equivalents under any Award shall be construed as earnings and the time and form of payment of such Dividend
Equivalents shall be treated separately from the time and form of payment of the underlying Award. Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, any payments (whether in cash, shares of Common Stock or other property) to
be made with respect to the Award that become payable on account of the Participant’s separation from service, within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code, while the Participant is a “specified employee” (as determined in accordance
with the uniform policy adopted by the Administrator with respect to all of the arrangements subject to Section 409A of the
Code maintained by Whole Earth Brands and its Affiliates) and which would otherwise be paid within six months after the Participant’s
separation from service shall be accumulated (without interest) and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s
separation from service or, if earlier, within 15 days after the appointment of the personal representative or executor of the
Participant’s estate following the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or an Award Agreement
to the contrary, in no event shall the Administrator exercise its discretion to accelerate the payment or settlement of an Award
where such payment or settlement constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Code section 409A unless, and solely
to the extent that, such accelerated payment or settlement is permissible under Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(j)(4).


 






    14


     


    

 


15.          Plan
Duration; Amendment and Discontinuance.


 


(a)           Plan
Duration. The Plan shall remain in effect, subject to the right of the Board or the Compensation Committee to amend or terminate
the Plan at any time, until the earlier of (a) the earliest date as of which all Awards granted under the Plan have been satisfied
in full or terminated and no shares of Common Stock approved for issuance under the Plan remain available to be granted under new
Awards or (b) June 24, 2030. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after such termination date. Subject to other
applicable provisions of the Plan, all Awards made under the Plan on or before June 24, 2030, or such earlier termination
of the Plan, shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the Plan and the terms
of such Awards.


 


(b)           Amendment
and Discontinuance of the Plan. The Board or the Compensation Committee may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment,
alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would materially impair the rights of a Participant with respect to a previously
granted Award without such Participant’s consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law or rule of
any securities exchange or market on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading or to prevent adverse tax or accounting
consequences to Whole Earth Brands or the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment shall be made without the
approval of Whole Earth Brand’s stockholders to the extent such amendment would (A) materially increase the benefits
accruing to Participants under the Plan, (B) materially increase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued
under the Plan or to a Participant, (C) materially expand the eligibility for participation in the Plan, (D) eliminate
or modify the prohibition set forth in Section 7(f) on repricing of stock options and stock appreciation rights, (E) lengthen
the maximum term or lower the minimum exercise price or base price permitted for stock options and stock appreciation rights, or
(F) modify the prohibition on the issuance of reload or replenishment options. Except as otherwise determined by the Board
or Compensation Committee, termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted
to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.


 


(c)           Amendment
of Awards. Subject to Section 7(f), the Administrator may unilaterally amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted,
but no such amendment shall materially impair the rights of any Participant with respect to an Award without the Participant’s
consent, except such an amendment made to cause the Plan or Award to comply with applicable law, applicable rule of any securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading, or to prevent adverse tax or accounting consequences for
the Participant or the Company or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, an amendment to an Award that
results in a change in the tax consequences of the Award to the Participant shall not be considered to be a material impairment
of the rights of the Participant and shall not require the Participant’s consent.


 


16.          General
Provisions.


 


(a)           Non-Guarantee
of Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award Agreement thereunder shall confer any right on an individual
to continue in the service of Whole Earth Brands or any Affiliate or shall interfere in any way with the right of Whole Earth Brands
or any Affiliate to terminate such service at any time with or without cause or notice and whether or not such termination results
in (i) the failure of any Award to vest or become payable; (ii) the forfeiture of any unvested or vested portion of any
Award; and/or (iii) any other adverse effect on the individual’s interests under any Award or the Plan. No person, even
though deemed an Eligible Individual, shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected
again as a Participant. To the extent that an Eligible Individual who is an employee of a Subsidiary receives an Award under the
Plan, that Award shall in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that Whole Earth Brands is the Participant’s employer
or that the Participant has an employment relationship with Whole Earth Brands.


 






    15


     


    

 


(b)           No
Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any
kind or a fiduciary relationship between Whole Earth Brands and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any Participant
or other person acquires a right to receive payments from Whole Earth Brands pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater
than the right of any unsecured general creditor of Whole Earth Brands.


 


(c)           Status
of Awards. Awards shall be special incentive payments to the Participant and shall not be taken into account in computing the
amount of salary or compensation of the Participant for purposes of determining any pension, retirement, death, severance or other
benefit under (a) any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, insurance, severance or other employee benefit plan of Whole
Earth Brands or any Affiliate now or hereafter in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level
of compensation or (b) any agreement between (i) Whole Earth Brands or any Affiliate and (ii) the Participant, except
as such plan or agreement shall otherwise expressly provide.


 


(d)           Subsidiary
Employees. In the case of a grant of an Award to an Eligible Individual who provides services to any Subsidiary, Whole Earth
Brands may, if the Administrator so directs, issue or transfer the shares of Common Stock, if any, covered by the Award to the
Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Administrator may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary
will transfer the shares of Common Stock to the Eligible Individual in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the
Administrator pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. All shares of Common Stock underlying Awards that are forfeited or canceled
after such issue or transfer of shares to the Subsidiary shall revert to Whole Earth Brands.


 


(e)           Governing
Law and Interpretation. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of Award Agreements entered into pursuant to the
Plan, and of any rules, regulations, determinations or decisions made by the Administrator relating to the Plan or such Award Agreements,
and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest therein or thereunder, shall be determined exclusively
in accordance with applicable United States federal laws and the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of
laws principles. The captions of the Plan are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. Except where
the context otherwise requires: (i) the singular includes the plural and vice versa; (ii) a reference to one gender includes
other genders; (iii) a reference to a person includes a natural person, partnership, corporation, association, governmental
or local authority or agency or other entity; and (iv) a reference to a statute, ordinance, code or other law includes regulations
and other instruments under it and consolidations, amendments, re-enactments or replacements of any of them.


 


(f)            Use
of English Language. The Plan, each Award Agreement, and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given
or instituted pursuant to an Award shall be written in English, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. If a Participant
receives an Award Agreement, a copy of the Plan or any other documents related to an Award translated into a language other than
English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version shall control.


 


(g)           Recovery
of Amounts Paid. Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator, Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to any and
all policies, guidelines, codes of conduct, or other agreement or arrangement adopted by the Board or Compensation Committee with
respect to the recoupment, recovery or clawback of compensation (collectively, the “Recoupment Policy”) and/or to any
provisions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement under which Whole Earth Brands may recover from current and former Participants
any amounts paid or shares of Common Stock issued under an Award and any proceeds therefrom under such circumstances as the Administrator
determines appropriate. The Administrator may apply the Recoupment Policy to Awards granted before the policy is adopted to the
extent required by applicable law or rule of any securities exchange or market on which shares of Common Stock are listed
or admitted for trading, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

entity, whether now or hereafter existing, which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Whole Earth Brands

more of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting securities issued by such entity, or the possession, directly
or indirectly, of the power to direct the management and policies of such entity, by contract or otherwise.


 


“Award” means any stock
option, stock appreciation right, stock award, stock unit, Performance Share, Performance Unit, and/or Other Stock-Based Award,
whether granted under this Plan.


 


“Award Agreement” means
the written document(s), including an electronic writing acceptable to the Administrator, and any notice, addendum or supplement
thereto, memorializing the terms and conditions of an Award granted pursuant to the Plan and which shall incorporate the terms
of the Plan.


 


“Board” means the Board
of Directors of Whole Earth Brands.


 


“Cause” means, with respect
to a Participant, except as otherwise provided in the relevant Award Agreement (i) the Participant’s plea of guilty
or nolo contendere to, or conviction of, (A) a felony (or its equivalent in a non-United States jurisdiction) or (B) other
conduct of a criminal nature that has or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the reputation or standing in the community
of Whole Earth Brands, any of its Affiliates or a successor to Whole Earth Brands or an Affiliate, as determined by the Administrator
in its sole discretion, or that legally prohibits the Participant from working for Whole Earth Brands, any of its Subsidiaries
or a successor to Whole Earth Brands or a Subsidiary; (ii) a breach by the Participant of a regulatory rule that adversely
affects the Participant’s ability to perform the Participant’s employment duties to Whole Earth Brands, any of its

policies of Whole Earth Brands, or of its Subsidiaries, or a successor to Whole Earth Brands or a Subsidiary, or (C)  comply
with covenants contained in any contract or Award Agreement to which the Participant is a party; provided, however, that

to a breach described in this clause (iii) and the Participant shall have 30 days following receipt of such written notice
(the “Cure Period”) during which the Participant may remedy the condition and, if so remedied, no Cause for
Termination of Service shall exist.


 


“Change in Control” means
the first of the following to occur: (i) a Change in Ownership of Whole Earth Brands, (ii) a Change in Effective Control
of Whole Earth Brands, or (iii) a Change in the Ownership of Assets of Whole Earth Brands, as described herein and construed
in accordance with Code section 409A.


 






    17


     


    

 


(i)            A
 “Change in Ownership of Whole Earth Brands” shall occur on the date that any one Person acquires, or Persons Acting
as a Group acquire, ownership of the capital stock of Whole Earth Brands that, together with the stock held by such Person or Group,
constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of Whole Earth Brands. However,
if any one Person is, or Persons Acting as a Group are, considered to own more than 50%, on a fully diluted basis, of the total
fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of Whole Earth Brands, the acquisition of additional stock by the
same Person or Persons Acting as a Group is not considered to cause a Change in Ownership of Whole Earth Brands or to cause a Change
in Effective Control of Whole Earth Brands (as described below). An increase in the percentage of capital stock owned by any one
Person, or Persons Acting as a Group, as a result of a transaction in which Whole Earth Brands acquires its stock in exchange for
property will be treated as an acquisition of stock.


 


(ii)           A
 “Change in Effective Control of Whole Earth Brands” shall occur on the date either (A) a majority of members of
Whole Earth Brand’s Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed
by a majority of the members of Whole Earth Brand’s Board before the date of the appointment or election, or (B) any
one Person, or Persons Acting as a Group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent
acquisition by such Person or Persons) ownership of stock of Whole Earth Brands possessing 50% or more of the total voting power
of the stock of Whole Earth Brands.


 


(iii)          A
 “Change in the Ownership of Assets of Whole Earth Brands” shall occur on the date that any one Person acquires, or
Persons Acting as a Group acquire (or has or have acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition
by such Person or Persons), assets from Whole Earth Brands that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50%
of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of Whole Earth Brands immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions.
For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of Whole Earth Brands, or the value of the assets being
disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.


 


The following rules of construction
apply in interpreting the definition of Change in Control:


 


(A)          A
 “Person” means any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Whole Earth Brands
and by entities controlled by Whole Earth Brands or an underwriter, initial purchaser or placement agent temporarily holding the
capital stock of Whole Earth Brands pursuant to a registered public offering.


 


(B)           Persons
will be considered to be Persons Acting as a Group (or Group) if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation,
purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the corporation. If a Person owns stock in both corporations
that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered
to be acting as a Group with other shareholders only with respect to the ownership in that corporation before the transaction giving
rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. Persons will not be considered to be
acting as a Group solely because they purchase assets of the same corporation at the same time or purchase or own stock of the
same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.


 


(C)          A
Change in Control shall not include a transfer to a related person as described in Code section 409A or a public offering of capital
stock of Whole Earth Brands.


 






    18


     


    

 


(D)          For
purposes of the definition of Change in Control, Section 318(a) of the Code applies to determine stock ownership. Stock
underlying a vested option is considered owned by the individual who holds the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested
option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option). For purposes of the preceding sentence, however,
if a vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury Regulation §1.83-3(b) and
(j)), the stock underlying the option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option.


 


“Code” means the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and any successor thereto, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other relevant
interpretive guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or the Treasury Department. Reference to any specific section of the
Code shall be deemed to include such regulations and guidance, as well as any successor section, regulations and guidance.


 


“Common Stock” means
shares of common stock of Whole Earth Brands, par value $0.0001 per share, and any capital securities into which they are converted.

for Whole Earth Brands’s securities, and (ii) prospective officers, employees and service providers who have accepted
offers of employment or other service relationship from Whole Earth Brands or a Subsidiary.


 


“Exchange Act” means
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time, and any successor thereto. Reference to any specific section
of the Exchange Act shall be deemed to include such regulations and guidance issued thereunder, as well as any successor section,
regulations and guidance.


 


“Fair Market Value” means,
on a per share basis as of any date, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator:


 


(i)            if
the principal market for the Common Stock (as determined by the Administrator if the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading
on more than one exchange or market) is a national securities exchange or an established securities market, the official closing
price per share of Common Stock for the regular market session on that date on the principal exchange or market on which the Common
Stock is then listed or admitted to trading or, if no sale is reported for that date, on the last preceding day on which a sale
was reported, all as reported by such source as the Administrator may select;


 


(ii)           if
the principal market for the Common Stock is not a national securities exchange or an established securities market, but the Common
Stock is quoted by a national quotation system, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock on
that date as reported on a national quotation system or, if no prices are reported for that date, on the last preceding day on
which prices were reported, all as reported by such source as the Administrator may select; or

the Common Stock is neither listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange or an established securities market,
nor quoted by a national quotation system, the value determined by the Administrator in good faith by the reasonable application
of a reasonable valuation method, which method may, but need not, include taking into account an appraisal of the fair market value
of the Common Stock conducted by a nationally recognized appraisal firm selected by the Administrator.


 


Notwithstanding the preceding, for foreign,
federal, state and local income tax reporting purposes and for such other purposes as the Administrator deems appropriate, the
Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Administrator in accordance with uniform and nondiscriminatory standards adopted by
it from time to time.


 


“Full Value Award” means
an Award that results in Whole Earth Brands transferring the full value of a share of Common Stock under the Award, whether or
not an actual share of stock is issued. Full Value Awards shall include, but are not limited to, stock awards, stock units, Performance
Shares, Performance Units that are payable in Common Stock, and Other Stock-Based Awards for which Whole Earth Brands transfers
the full value of a share of Common Stock under the Award, but shall not include Dividend Equivalents.

physical or mental impairment that can be expected to last until the Participant’s death or result in death. The Administrator
