On April 24, 2026, Kevin Conroy was named to the Abbott Laboratories' ("Abbott") Board of Directors.

On April 24, 2026, Abbott shareholders approved the adoption of the Abbott Laboratories 2026 Incentive Stock Program (the "2026 Program") at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The 2026 Program was adopted by Abbott's Board of Directors on February 20, 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The 2026 Program replaces the Abbott Laboratories 2017 Incentive Stock Program, as amended and restated (the "2017 Program"), under which Abbott makes all of its equity-related incentive compensation awards.

The 2026 Program, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of Abbott's Board of Directors, permits Abbott to grant nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other share-based awards (including stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and recognition awards) to non-employee directors and employees of Abbott and its subsidiaries. Subject to adjustment in the event of changes in capitalization, the maximum number of Abbott common shares that may be issued under the 2026 Program is 140,000,000, plus the number of shares that cease to be subject to awards under the 2017 Program due to forfeiture, expiration, cancellation, or cash settlement and shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations under outstanding 2017 Program full value awards; and less the number of shares subject to awards granted under the 2017 Program between March 1, 2026 and April 23, 2026, with each full value award share being counted as three shares against the 2017 Program's share reserve. The 2026 Program has a term of ten years.

For a more detailed description of the 2026 Program, see pages 79 through 86 of Abbott's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2026. The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the 2026 Program, which was included as Exhibit A to the proxy statement and is incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.

## Exhibit 3.1

**Exhibit 3.1**

 **BY-LAWS OF<br> ABBOTT LABORATORIES**

Adopted by the Board of Directors of<br> Abbott Laboratories at the Annual Meeting, April 11, 1963<br> as amended and restated, effective April 24, 2026

**Article I**

**OFFICES**

The principal office of the Corporation in the State of Illinois shall be located at the intersection of State Routes 43 and 137 in the County of Lake. The Corporation may have such other offices either within or without the State of Illinois as the business of the Corporation may require from time to time.

The registered office of the Corporation may be, but need not be, identical with the principal office in the State of Illinois. The address of the registered office may be changed from time to time by the Board of Directors.

**Article II**

**SHAREHOLDERS**

SECTION 1 <u>ANNUAL MEETING; TRANSACTION OF BUSINESS, NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS</u>. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held at such place (if applicable), on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. The meeting shall be held for the purpose of electing Directors and for the transaction of such other business as is brought properly before the meeting in accordance with these By- Laws. If the election of Directors shall not be held on the day designated for any annual meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a meeting of the shareholders as soon thereafter as conveniently may be.

At any annual meeting of the shareholders, only such nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors shall be made, and only such other business shall be conducted or considered, as shall have been brought properly before the meeting. For nominations to be made properly at an annual meeting, and proposals of other business to be brought properly before an annual meeting, nominations and proposals of other business must be: (a) specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise brought properly before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise requested properly to be brought before the annual meeting by a shareholder who (i) is a shareholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 1 through the date of such annual meeting and (ii) complies with the notice requirements set forth in this Section 1. For the avoidance of doubt, compliance with the foregoing clause (c) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations, or to propose any other business (other than a proposal included in the Corporation's proxy materials pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Exchange Act")), at an annual meeting of shareholders.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for nominations to be made properly at an annual meeting by a shareholder, and proposals of other business to be brought properly before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a shareholder's notice to the Secretary must be delivered to and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day, or earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the anniversary date of the preceding annual meeting of shareholders; <u>provided, however,</u> that if the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than thirty (30) days prior to or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder must be so delivered and received not earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and (ii) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement (as defined below) was made. In no event shall the adjournment, recess, postponement, judicial stay or rescheduling of an annual meeting, or the public announcement thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice pursuant to the preceding sentence.

In addition to being timely, a shareholder's notice must be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct (A) as of the record date for the meeting and (B) as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting (or any postponement, rescheduling or adjournment thereof), and such update and supplement shall (I) be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (x) not later than the close of business five (5) business days after the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of such meeting (in the case of an update required to be made under clause (A)) and (y) not later than the close of business seven (7) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any postponement, rescheduling or adjournment thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been postponed, rescheduled or adjourned) (in the case of an update required to be made pursuant to clause (B)), (II) be made only to the extent that information has changed since prior submission of such notice, and (III) clearly identify the information that has changed since such prior submission of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to update and supplement such information shall not permit any shareholder or other person to change or add any proposed nominee for Director or other proposed business or be deemed to cure any defects or inaccuracies in any prior submissions or limit the remedies (including under these By- Laws) available to the Corporation relating to any defect or inaccuracy.

A shareholder's notice to the Secretary (whether given pursuant to this Section 1 or Section 2 of Article II) shall include the following, as applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) As to any shareholder of record giving notice under this Section 1 (each, a "Noticing Party") and any Shareholder Associated Person (as defined below), notice must set forth:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the name and address of such Noticing Party and each Shareholder Associated Person (including, as applicable, as they appear on the Corporation's books and records);

The Corporation may require any Noticing Party to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility or suitability of any Proposed Nominee to serve as Director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable shareholder's understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such a Proposed Nominee under the listing standards of each securities exchange upon which the Corporation's securities are listed, any applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board in selecting nominees for election as a Director and for determining and disclosing the independence of the Corporation's Directors, including those applicable to a Director's service on any of the committees of the Board, or the requirements of any other laws or regulations applicable to the Corporation.

In addition, the Board may require any Proposed Nominee to submit to interviews with the Board or any committee thereof, and such Proposed Nominee shall make himself or herself available for any such interviews within ten (10) days following any reasonable request therefor from the Board or any committee thereof.

No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. The number of nominees a shareholder may nominate for election at a meeting may not exceed the number of Directors to be elected at such meeting, and for the avoidance of doubt, no shareholder shall be entitled to make additional or substitute nominations following the expiration of the time periods set forth in this Section 1. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Chair of a meeting shall have the power and the duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting has been made in accordance with the procedures set forth in these By-Laws, and, if the Chair of the meeting determines that any proposed nomination or business was not properly brought before the meeting, the Chair of the meeting shall declare to the meeting that such nomination shall be disregarded or such business shall not be transacted, and no vote shall be taken with respect to such nomination or proposed business, in each case, notwithstanding that proxies with respect to such vote may have been received by the Corporation.

If any information submitted pursuant to this Section 1 by any Noticing Party proposing individuals to nominate for election or reelection as a Director or business for consideration at a shareholder meeting shall be inaccurate in any material respect (as determined by the Board or a committee thereof), such information shall be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 1. Any such Noticing Party shall notify the Secretary in writing at the principal executive offices of the Corporation of any inaccuracy or change in any information submitted pursuant to this Section 1 (including if any Noticing Party or any Shareholder Associated Person no longer intends to solicit proxies in accordance with the representation made pursuant to subsection 4(D) above within two (2) business days after becoming aware of such inaccuracy or change, and any such notification shall clearly identify the inaccuracy or change, it being understood that no such notification may cure any deficiencies or inaccuracies with respect to any prior submission by such Noticing Party. Upon written request of the Secretary on behalf of the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof), any such Noticing Party shall provide, within seven (7) business days after delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request), (A) written verification, reasonably satisfactory to the Board, any committee thereof or any authorized officer of the Corporation, to demonstrate the accuracy of any information submitted by such Noticing Party pursuant to this Section 1 and (B) a written affirmation of any information submitted by such Noticing Party pursuant to this Section 1 as of an earlier date. If a Noticing Party fails to provide such written verification or affirmation within such period, the information as to which written verification or affirmation was requested may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 1.

If (A) any Noticing Party or any Shareholder Associated Person provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act with respect to any Proposed Nominee and (B) (1) such Noticing Party or Shareholder Associated Person subsequently either (x) notifies the Corporation that such Noticing Party or Shareholder Associated Person no longer intends to solicit proxies in support of the election of such Proposed Nominee in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act or (y) fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act and (2) no other Noticing Party or Shareholder Associated Person that has provided notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Proposed Nominee has complied with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act, then any proxies or votes for such Proposed Nominee shall be disregarded. Upon request by the Corporation, if any Noticing Party or any Shareholder Associated Person provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act, such Noticing Party shall deliver to the Secretary, no later than five business days prior to the applicable meeting date, reasonable evidence that the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act have been satisfied.

For purposes of Sections 1 and 2 of these By-Laws: (A) "affiliate" and "associate" each shall have the respective meanings set forth in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act; (B) "beneficial owner," "beneficial ownership," or "beneficially owned" shall have the meaning set forth for such terms in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act; (C) "public announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (D) "Qualified Representative" of a Noticing Party means (I) a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such Noticing Party or (II) a person authorized by a writing executed by such Noticing Party (or a reliable reproduction or electronic transmission of the writing) delivered by such Noticing Party to the Corporation prior to the making of any nomination or proposal at a shareholder meeting stating that such person is authorized to act for such Noticing Party as proxy at the meeting of shareholders, which writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, must be produced at the meeting of shareholders; and (E) "Shareholder Associated Person" shall mean, with respect to a Noticing Party, (I) any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Noticing Party, (II) any member of the immediate family of such Noticing Party sharing the same household, (III) any person who is a member of a "group" (as such term is used in Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision at law)) with, or is otherwise known by such Noticing Party or other Shareholder Associated Person to be acting in concert with, such Noticing Party or any other Shareholder Associated Person with respect to the stock of the Corporation, (IV) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record by such Noticing Party or any other Shareholder Associated Person (other than a shareholder that is a depositary), (V) any affiliate or associate of such Noticing Party or any other Shareholder Associated Person, (VI) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii) (vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such Noticing Party or any other Shareholder Associated Person with respect to any proposed business or nominations, as applicable, and (VII) any Proposed Nominee.

Notwithstanding the provisions of these By-Laws, a shareholder shall also comply with state law and all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1 and Section 2 of Article II of these By-Laws; provided, however, that any references in these By-Laws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 1 and Section 2 of Article II of these By-Laws. Nothing in these By-Laws shall be deemed to affect any rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Subject to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, nothing in these By-Laws shall be construed to permit any shareholder, or give any shareholder the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Corporation's proxy statement any nomination of Director or Directors or any other business proposal.

Any written notice, supplement, update or other information required to be delivered by a shareholder to the Corporation pursuant to Section 1 must be given by personal delivery, by overnight courier or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary at the Corporation's principal executive offices.

SECTION 2 <u>SPECIAL MEETINGS</u>.

Subject to compliance with this Section 2, special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, any President, the Board of Directors or by a shareholder (or shareholders) beneficially owning not less than one-fifth of all the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter for which the meeting is called (the "<u>Requisite Threshold</u>").

At any special meeting of the shareholders, only such nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors shall be made, and only such other business shall be conducted or considered, as shall have been brought properly before the meeting. For nominations to be made properly at a special meeting, and proposals of other business to be brought properly before the special meeting, nominations and proposals of other business must be: (a) specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise brought properly before the special meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise requested properly to be brought before the special meeting by a shareholder (or shareholders) of the Corporation beneficially owning not less than the Requisite Threshold and (i) being shareholder(s) of record on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such special meeting, on the date such shareholder(s) provide(s) timely notice to the Corporation as provided herein and on the date of the special meeting, and (ii) complying with the notice requirements set forth in this Section 2 (including the provisions of Article II, Section 1 which are incorporated by reference into this Section 2).

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be brought properly by a shareholder before a special meeting the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, in the case of a special meeting of shareholders, not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90<sup>th</sup>) day and not earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120<sup>th</sup>) day prior to the date of the special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than one hundred days prior to the date of such special meeting, the close of business on the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed or such public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made, whichever first occurs. In no event shall the adjournment, recess, postponement, judicial stay or rescheduling of a special meeting, or the public announcement thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice pursuant to the preceding sentence.

In addition to being timely, a shareholder's notice must be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of (A) the record date for the special meeting and (B) as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the special meeting (or any postponement, rescheduling or adjournment thereof), and such update and supplement shall (I) be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (x) not later than the close of business five (5) business days after the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of such meeting (in the case of an update required to be made under clause (A)) and (y) not later than the close of business seven (7) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any postponement, rescheduling or adjournment thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been postponed, rescheduled or adjourned) (in the case of an update required to be made pursuant to clause (B)), (II) be made only to the extent that information has changed since prior submission of such notice, and (III) clearly identify the information that has changed since such prior submission of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to update and supplement such information shall not permit any shareholder or other person to change or add any proposed nominee for Director or other proposed business or be deemed to cure any defects or limit the remedies (including under these By-Laws) available to the Corporation relating to any defect.

A shareholder's notice to the Secretary shall include (a) all of the information set forth in, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Article II, Section 1 of these By-Laws, as applicable; (b) an agreement by such shareholder to notify the Corporation promptly in the event of (1) any disposition prior to the time of the special meeting of any shares included within such shareholder's beneficial ownership of shares of the Corporation as of the date on which the special meeting request was delivered to the Corporation and (2) any other change prior to the time of the special meeting in such shareholder's beneficial ownership of shares of the Corporation; and (c) documentary evidence that the shareholder had beneficial ownership of at least the Requisite Threshold as of the date of delivery of the special meeting request to Corporation.

Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no nominations of Directors shall be made, and no other business shall be conducted, at a special meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2, and any such business must be a proper matter for shareholder action. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. The Chair of the special meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made or a proposal for business was not brought properly in accordance with the foregoing procedures, and if the Chair of the meeting should so determine, the Chair of the meeting may so declare to the special meeting and the defective nomination or business proposal shall be disregarded.

A failure by shareholder(s) who are requesting a special meeting to deliver such information as required by this Section 2 shall constitute a revocation of the applicable special meeting request by such requesting shareholder(s).

A special meeting request made by shareholders shall not be valid, and a special meeting requested by shareholders shall not be held, if (A) the special meeting request does not comply with this Section 2; or (B) the special meeting request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for shareholder action under applicable law. If none of the requesting shareholders appears or sends a duly authorized agent to present the business specified in the special meeting request to be presented for consideration, the Corporation need not present such business for a vote at the special meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such business may have been received by the Corporation.

The requesting shareholders (or any of them) may revoke a special meeting request by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at any time prior to the special meeting. If following such revocation or any deemed revocation, there are unrevoked requests from requesting shareholders beneficially owning in the aggregate less than the Requisite Thresholds (or there are no unrevoked requests at all), the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may cancel the special meeting.

The Board of Directors may submit its own proposal or proposals for consideration at a special meeting called at the request of one or more shareholders.

The date and time of any special meeting shall be fixed by the Board of Directors; <u>provided</u>, that the date of any such special meeting shall not be more than 120 days after the date on which a valid special meeting request is received by the Corporation.

SECTION 3 <u>PLACE OF MEETING</u>. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Illinois, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting, or may designate that any annual meeting or special meeting shall not be held at any place and shall instead be held solely by means of remote communication. If no designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation in the State of Illinois.

SECTION 4 <u>NOTICE OF MEETINGS</u>. Written notice stating the place (if applicable), day and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, or in the cases of a merger, consolidation, share exchange, dissolution or sale, lease or exchange of assets not less than twenty (20) nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, any President, or the Secretary or the persons calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

SECTION 5 <u>FIXING RECORD DATE</u>. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than sixty (60) days and, for a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten (10) days, or in the case of a merger, consolidation, share exchange, dissolution or sale, lease or exchange of assets not less than twenty (20) days, immediately preceding such meeting.

SECTION 6 <u>VOTING LISTS</u>. The Secretary shall make, or cause to have made, within twenty (20) days after the record date for a meeting of shareholders or ten (10) days before such meeting, whichever is earlier, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each, which list, for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on file at the registered office of the Corporation and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder and to copying at the shareholder's expense, at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place (if applicable) of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting. The original share ledger or transfer book, or a duplicate thereof kept in the State of Illinois, shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list or share ledger or transfer book or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

SECTION 7 <u>QUORUM</u>. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote on a matter, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for consideration of such matter at a meeting of shareholders. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on a matter shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by the Illinois Business Corporation Act of 1983 (as amended from time to time, the "BCA") or the Articles of Incorporation, as in effect on the date of such determination. If a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of shareholders, the Chair of the meeting, or if so requested by the Chair, the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than the announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. In addition, the Chair of any meeting or the Board of Directors shall have the power to adjourn, postpone, reschedule or cancel any meeting of shareholders previously called by any of them.

SECTION 8 <u>PROXIES</u>. A shareholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the shareholder by delivering a valid appointment to the person so appointed or such person's agent; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, no shareholder may name more than two persons as proxies to attend and to vote the shareholder's shares at any meeting of shareholders. Without limiting the manner in which a shareholder may appoint such a proxy pursuant to these By-Laws, the following shall constitute valid means by which a shareholder may make such an appointment:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) A shareholder may sign a proxy appointment form. The shareholder's signature may be affixed by any reasonable means, including by facsimile signature.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) A shareholder may transmit or authorize the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission; provided that any such transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram, or other electronic transmission was authorized by the shareholder. If it is determined that the telegram, cablegram, or other electronic transmission is valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination shall specify the information upon which they relied.

No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Each proxy continues in full force and effect until revoked by the person appointing the proxy prior to the vote pursuant thereto, except as otherwise provided by law. Such revocation may be effected by a writing delivered to the Secretary stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent delivery of a valid proxy by, or by the attendance at the meeting and voting in person by the person appointing the proxy. The dates of the proxy shall presumptively determine the order of appointment.

SECTION 9 <u>VOTING OF SHARES</u>. Each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote in each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders and, in all elections for Directors, every shareholder shall have the right to vote the number of shares owned by such shareholder for as many persons as there are Directors to be elected, or to cumulate such votes and give one candidate as many votes as shall equal the number of Directors multiplied by the number of such shares or to distribute such cumulative votes in any proportion among any number of candidates; provided that, vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled as provided in Section 9, Article III of these By-Laws. A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy.

SECTION 10 <u>VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS</u>. Shares of this Corporation held by the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to vote at any given time.

Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by any officer, agent, proxy or other legal representative authorized to vote such shares under the law of incorporation of such corporation.

Shares registered in the name of a deceased person, a minor ward or a person under legal disability may be voted by his or her administrator, executor, or court appointed guardian, either in person or by proxy without a transfer of such shares into the name of such administrator, executor, or court appointed guardian. Shares registered in the name of a trustee may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy.

Shares registered in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his or her name if authority so to do is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.

A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

SECTION 11 <u>VOTING BY BALLOT</u>. Voting on any question or in any election may be viva voce unless the Board of Directors or the Chair of the applicable meeting shall order that voting be by ballot.

SECTION 12 <u>INSPECTORS OF ELECTION</u>. The Board of Directors in advance of any meeting of shareholders may appoint inspectors to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, the person acting as Chair at any such meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder or his proxy, shall make such appointment. In case any person appointed as inspector shall fail to appear or to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board of Directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person acting as Chair.

Such inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of shares represented at the meeting, based upon their determination of the validity and effect of proxies; count all votes and report the results; and do such other acts as are proper to conduct the election and voting with impartiality and fairness to all the shareholders.

Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by him or her or by a majority of them if there be more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

SECTION 13 <u>SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT</u>. In the case of action to be taken by a shareholder or shareholders by written consent, the shareholder or shareholders proposing to take such action shall give notice of the proposed action, which notice shall be in writing and delivered to and received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation, a reasonable period (but not less than thirty-five (35) days) before the proposed effective date of such action. To the extent relevant, such notice shall include the information referred to in Article II, Section 1 of these By-Laws.

In the case of action to be taken by a shareholder or shareholders by written consent, no written consent shall be effective to take the action referred to therein unless written consents signed by a sufficient number of shareholders to take such action are delivered to and received by the Corporation in accordance with this Section within sixty days of the record date for taking such action by written consent, or if no such record date has been set, the date the earliest dated written consent was received by the Corporation in accordance with this Section.

Every written consent shall be signed by one or more persons who as of the record date are shareholders of record on such record date, shall bear the date of signature of each such shareholder, and shall set forth the name and address, as they appear in the Corporation's books, of each shareholder signing such consent and the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned of record and beneficially by each such shareholder and shall be delivered to and received by the Secretary at the Corporation's principal office by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

SECTION 14 <u>RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT</u>. In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days (or if such tenth day is a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is not open for trading, the next day following such tenth day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading), or in the case of any proposed action by written consent of a shareholder or shareholders with respect to a merger, consolidation, share exchange, dissolution or sale, lease or exchange of assets, not more than twenty (20) days, after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors (or such later date if the shareholder requests and the Board sets such later date as the record date). Any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but no later than ten days (or if such tenth day is a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is not open for trading, the next day following such tenth day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading) after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. Delivery of such request shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested to the Secretary at the Corporation's principal office. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within ten (10) days (or if such tenth day is a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is not open for trading, the next day following such tenth day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading) after the date on which such request is received, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to and received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation. Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested to the Secretary at the Corporation's principal office. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

SECTION 15 <u>INCLUSION OF SHAREHOLDER DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS IN THE CORPORATION'S PROXY MATERIALS</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these By-Laws, the Corporation shall include in its proxy materials for an annual meeting of shareholders the name, together with the Required Information, of any person nominated for election (the "<u>Shareholder Nominee</u>") to the Board of Directors by one shareholder or group of shareholders that satisfy the requirements of this Section 15, including qualifying as an Eligible Shareholder, and that expressly elects at the time of providing the written notice required by this Section 15 (a "Proxy Access Notice") to have its nominee included in the Corporation's proxy materials pursuant to this Section 15. For the purposes of this Section 15:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) "<u>Voting Shares</u>" shall mean outstanding shares of capital share of the Corporation entitled to vote generally for the election of Directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) "<u>Constituent Holder</u>" shall mean any shareholder, collective investment fund included within a Qualifying Fund (as defined below) or beneficial holder whose share ownership is counted for the purposes of qualifying as holding the Proxy Access Request Required Shares (as defined below) or qualifying as an Eligible Shareholder (as defined below);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) "affiliate" and "associate" shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Rule 405 under the Exchange Act; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the term "partner" as used in the definition of "associate" shall not include any limited partner that is not involved in the management of the relevant partnership; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) a shareholder (including any Constituent Holder) shall be deemed to "own" only those outstanding Voting Shares as to which the shareholder itself (or any such Constituent Holder itself) possesses both (a) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (b) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares. The number of shares calculated in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall be deemed not to include (and to the extent any of the following arrangements have been entered into by affiliates of the shareholder (or of any Constituent Holder), shall be reduced by) any shares (x) sold by such shareholder or Constituent Holder (or any of either's affiliates) in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, including any short sale, (y) borrowed by such shareholder or Constituent Holder (or any of either's affiliates) for any purposes or purchased by such shareholder or Constituent Holder (or any of either's affiliates) pursuant to an agreement to resell or (z) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such shareholder or Constituent Holder (or any of either's affiliates), whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of Voting Shares, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, or if exercised by either party thereto would have, the purpose or effect of (i) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such shareholder's or Constituent Holder's (or either's affiliate's) full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (ii) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such shareholder or Constituent Holder (or either's affiliate), other than any such arrangements solely involving an exchange listed multi- industry market index fund in which Voting Share represents at the time of entry into such arrangement less than 10 percent of the proportionate value of such index. A shareholder (including any Constituent Holder) shall "own" shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the shareholder itself (or such Constituent Holder itself) retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of Directors and the right to direct the disposition thereof and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. A shareholder's (including any Constituent Holder's) ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which such person has loaned such shares or delegated any voting power over such shares by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement which in all such cases is revocable at any time by the shareholder. The terms "owned," "owning", "ownership" and other variations of the word "own" shall have correlative meanings.

For purposes of this Section 15, the "<u>Required Information</u>" that the Corporation will include in its proxy statement is (1) the information concerning the Shareholder Nominee and the Eligible Shareholder that the Corporation determines is required to be disclosed in the Corporation's proxy statement by the regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act; and (2) if the Eligible Shareholder so elects, a Statement. The Corporation shall also include the name of the Shareholder Nominee in its proxy card. For the avoidance of doubt, and any other provision of these By-Laws notwithstanding, the Corporation may in its sole discretion solicit against, and include in the proxy statement its own statements or other information relating to, any Eligible Shareholder and/or Shareholder Nominee, including any information provided to the Corporation with respect to the foregoing.

To be timely, a shareholder's Proxy Access Notice must be delivered to the principal executive offices of the Corporation within the time periods applicable to shareholder notices of nominations pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of these By-Laws. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting, the date of which has been announced by the Corporation, commence a new time period for the giving of a Proxy Access Notice.

The number of Shareholder Nominees (including Shareholder Nominees that were submitted by an Eligible Shareholder for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy materials pursuant to this Section 15 but either are subsequently withdrawn or that the Board of Directors decides to nominate as Board of Directors' nominees) appearing in the Corporation's proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders shall not exceed the greater of (x) one and (y) the largest whole number that does not exceed 20 percent of the number of Directors in office as of the last day on which a Proxy Access Notice may be delivered in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 15 (such greater number, the "<u>Permitted Number</u>"); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Permitted Number shall be reduced by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the number of such Director candidates for which the Corporation shall have received one or more valid shareholder notices nominating Director candidates pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of these By-Laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the number of Directors in office or Director candidates that in either case will be included in the Corporation's proxy materials with respect to such annual meeting as an unopposed (by the Corporation) nominee pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or other understanding with any shareholder or group of shareholders (other than any such agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with an acquisition of Voting Shares, by such shareholder or group of shareholders, from the Corporation), other than any such Director referred to in this clause (2) who at the time of such annual meeting will have served as a Director continuously, as a nominee of the Board of Directors, for at least two annual terms, but only to the extent the Permitted Number after such reduction with respect to this clause (2) equals or exceeds one; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the number of Directors in office that will be included in the Corporation's proxy materials with respect to such annual meeting for whom access to the Corporation's proxy materials was previously provided pursuant to this Section 15, other than any such Director referred to in this clause (3) who at the time of such annual meeting will have served as a Director continuously, as a nominee of the Board of Directors, for at least two annual terms;

<u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that in the event the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board of Directors effective on or prior to the date of the annual meeting, the Permitted Number shall be calculated based on the number of Directors in office as so reduced. In the event that the number of Shareholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Section 15 exceeds the Permitted Number, each Eligible Shareholder will select one Shareholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy materials until the Permitted Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of Voting Shares each Eligible Shareholder disclosed as owned in its Proxy Access Notice submitted to the Corporation. If the Permitted Number is not reached after each Eligible Shareholder has selected one Shareholder Nominee, this selection process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Permitted Number is reached.

An "<u>Eligible Shareholder</u>" is one or more shareholders of record who own and have owned, or are acting on behalf of one or more beneficial owners who own and have owned (in each case as defined above), in each case continuously for at least three years as of both the date that the Proxy Access Notice is received by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 15, and as of the record date for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the annual meeting, at least 3 percent of the aggregate voting power of the Voting Share (the "<u>Proxy Access Request Required Shares</u>"), and who continue to own the Proxy Access Request Required Shares at all times between the date such Proxy Access Notice is received by the Corporation and the date of the applicable annual meeting, provided that the aggregate number of shareholders, and, if and to the extent that a shareholder is acting on behalf of one or more beneficial owners, of such beneficial owners, whose share ownership is counted for the purpose of satisfying the foregoing ownership requirement shall not exceed twenty. Two or more collective investment funds that are part of the same family of funds or sponsored by the same employer (a "<u>Qualifying Fund</u>") shall be treated as one shareholder for the purpose of determining the aggregate number of shareholders in this paragraph, provided that each fund included within a Qualifying Fund otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Section 15. No shares may be attributed to more than one group constituting an Eligible Shareholder under this Section 15 (it being understood that no shareholder may be a member of more than one group constituting an Eligible Shareholder). A record holder acting on behalf of one or more beneficial owners will not be counted separately as a shareholder with respect to the shares owned by beneficial owners on whose behalf such record holder has been directed in writing to act, but each such beneficial owner will be counted separately, subject to the other provisions of this paragraph, for purposes of determining the number of shareholders whose holdings may be considered as part of an Eligible Shareholder's holdings. Proxy Access Request Required Shares will qualify as such if and only if the beneficial owner of such shares as of the date of the Proxy Access Notice has itself individually beneficially owned such shares continuously for the three-year period ending on that date and through the other applicable dates referred to above (in addition to the other applicable requirements being met).

No later than the final date when a nomination pursuant to this Section 15 may be delivered to the Corporation, an Eligible Shareholder (including each Constituent Holder) must provide the following information in writing to the Secretary: (1) all information that would be required to be included in a shareholder notice nominating Director candidates pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of these By-Laws if the Eligible Shareholder (including each Constituent Holder) were a "Noticing Party" that had nominated the Eligible Shareholder's Shareholder Nominee pursuant to such Section; (2) one or more written statements from the record holder of the shares (and from each intermediary through which the shares are or have been held during the requisite three-year holding period) verifying that, as of a date within seven calendar days prior to the date the Proxy Access Notice is delivered to the Corporation, such person owns, and has owned continuously for the preceding three years, the Proxy Access Request Required Shares, and such person's agreement to provide, within ten days after the record date for the annual meeting, written statements from the record holder and intermediaries verifying such person's continuous ownership of the Proxy Access Request Required Shares through the record date, together with any additional information reasonably requested to verify such person's ownership of the Proxy Access Request Required Shares, and to provide immediate notice if the Eligible Shareholder ceases to own any of the Proxy Access Request Required Shares prior to the date of the applicable annual meeting of shareholders; (3) a representation that such person: (a) acquired the Proxy Access Request Required Shares in the ordinary course of business and not with the intent to change or influence control of the Corporation, and does not presently have such intent, (b) has not nominated and will not nominate for election to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting any person other than the Shareholder Nominee(s) being nominated pursuant to this Section 15, (c) has not engaged and will not engage in, and has not and will not be a "participant" in another person's, "solicitation" within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the Exchange Act in support of the election of any individual as a Director at the annual meeting other than its Shareholder Nominee(s) or a nominee of the Board of Directors, (d) will not distribute to any shareholder any form of proxy for the annual meeting other than the form distributed by the Corporation, and (e) will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the Corporation and its shareholders that are and will be true and correct in all material respects and do not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will otherwise comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with any actions taken pursuant to this Section 15; (4) in the case of a nomination by a group of shareholders that together is such an Eligible Shareholder, the designation by all group members of one group member that is authorized to act on behalf of all members of the nominating shareholder group with respect to the nomination and matters related thereto, including withdrawal of the nomination; and (5) an undertaking that such person agrees to assume all liability stemming from, and indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and each of its Directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors individually against any liability, loss or damages in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative or investigative, against the Corporation or any of its Directors, officers or employees arising out of any legal or regulatory violation arising out of the Eligible Shareholder's communications with the shareholders of the Corporation or out of the information that the Eligible Shareholder (including such person) provided to the Corporation, and that such person will file with the Commission any solicitation by the Eligible Shareholder of shareholders of the Corporation relating to the annual meeting at which the Shareholder Nominee will be nominated.

In addition, no later than the final date on which a Proxy Access Notice may be submitted under this Section 15, a Qualifying Fund whose share ownership is counted for purposes of qualifying as an Eligible Shareholder must provide to the Secretary documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Directors that demonstrates that the funds included within the Qualifying Fund are either part of the same family of funds or sponsored by the same employer. In order to be considered timely, any information required by this Section 15 to be provided to the Corporation must be supplemented (by delivery to the Secretary) (1) no later than ten days following the record date for the applicable annual meeting, to disclose the foregoing information as of such record date, and (2) no later than the fifth day before the annual meeting, to disclose the foregoing information as of the date that is no earlier than ten days prior to such annual meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to update and supplement such information shall not permit any Eligible Shareholder or other person to change or add any proposed Shareholder Nominee or be deemed to cure any defects or limit the remedies (including under these By-Laws) available to the Corporation relating to any defect.

The Eligible Shareholder may provide to the Secretary, at the time the information required by this Section 15 is originally provided, a written statement for inclusion in the Corporation's proxy statement for the annual meeting, not to exceed five hundred words, in support of the candidacy of such Eligible Shareholder's Shareholder Nominee (the "<u>Statement</u>"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 15, the Corporation may omit from its proxy materials any information or Statement that it, in good faith, believes is materially false or misleading, omits to state any material fact, or would violate any applicable law or regulation.

No later than the final date when a nomination pursuant to this Section 15 may be delivered to the Corporation, each Shareholder Nominee must: (1) provide an executed agreement, in a form deemed satisfactory by the Board of Directors or its designee (which form shall be provided by the Corporation reasonably promptly upon written request of a shareholder), that such Shareholder Nominee (a) consents to being named in any proxy statement and associated form of proxy card pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act as a nominee and to serving as a Director of the Corporation for the full term if elected, (b) agrees, if elected, to adhere to the Corporation's Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Conduct and any other publicly available Corporation policies and guidelines applicable to Directors and (c) is not and will not become a party to any compensatory, payment or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity in connection with his or her nomination, service or action as a Director of the Corporation, or any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity as to how the Shareholder Nominee would vote or act on any issue or question as a Director, in each case that has not been disclosed to the Corporation; (2) complete, sign and submit all questionnaires, representations and agreements required by these By-Laws or of the Corporation's Directors generally; and (3) provide such additional information as necessary to permit the Board of Directors to determine if such Shareholder Nominee (a) is independent under the listing standards of each principal U.S. exchange upon which the common shares of the Corporation are listed, any applicable rules of the Commission and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board of Directors in determining and disclosing the independence of the Corporation's Directors, (b) has any direct or indirect relationship with the Corporation other than those relationships that have been deemed categorically immaterial pursuant to the Corporation's Corporate Governance Guidelines, (c) would not, by serving on the Board of Directors, violate or cause the Corporation to be in violation of these By-Laws, the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, the rules and listing standards of the principal U.S. exchange upon which the common share of the Corporation is listed or any applicable law, rule or regulation and (d) is or has been subject to any event specified in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K (or successor rule) of the Commission.

In the event that any information or communications provided by the Eligible Shareholder (or any Constituent Holder) or the Shareholder Nominee to the Corporation or its shareholders ceases to be true and correct in all material respects or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, each Eligible Shareholder or Shareholder Nominee, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Secretary of any defect in such previously provided information and of the information that is required to correct any such defect; it being understood that providing any such notification shall not be deemed to cure any such defect or limit the remedies (including under these By-Laws) available to the Corporation relating to any such defect.

Any Shareholder Nominee who is included in the Corporation's proxy materials for a particular annual meeting of shareholders but either (1) withdraws from or becomes ineligible or unavailable for election at that annual meeting (other than by reason of such Shareholder Nominee's disability or other health reason), or (2) does not receive votes cast in favor of the Shareholder Nominee's election of at least 25 percent of the shares entitled to vote on the matter, represented in person or by proxy at the annual meeting, will be ineligible to be a Shareholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 15 for the next two annual meetings, and in the case of clause (2), the Eligible Shareholder (including each Constituent Holder) that nominated such Shareholder Nominee will not be eligible to nominate or participate in the nomination of any Shareholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 15 for the following annual meeting of shareholders. Any Shareholder Nominee who is included in the Corporation's proxy statement for a particular annual meeting of shareholders, but subsequently is determined not to satisfy the eligibility requirements of this Section 15 or any other provision of these By-Laws, the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or other applicable regulation any time before the annual meeting of shareholders, will not be eligible for election at the relevant annual meeting of shareholders. Any Eligible Shareholder (including each Constituent Holder) whose Shareholder Nominee is elected as a Director at the annual meeting of shareholders will not be eligible to nominate or participate in the nomination of a Shareholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 15 for the following two annual meetings of shareholders, other than the nomination of such previously elected Shareholder Nominee.

The Corporation shall not be required to include, pursuant to this Section 15, a Shareholder Nominee in its proxy materials for any annual meeting of shareholders, or, if the proxy statement already has been filed, to allow the nomination of a Shareholder Nominee, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation: (1) who is not independent under the listing standards of the principal U.S. exchange upon which the common shares of the Corporation are listed, any applicable rules of the Commission and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board of Directors in determining and disclosing independence of the Corporation's Directors, in each case as determined by the Board of Directors; (2) whose service as a member of the Board of Directors would violate or cause the Corporation to be in violation of these By-Laws, the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, the rules and listing standards of the principal U.S. exchange upon which the common share of the Corporation is traded, or any applicable law, rule or regulation; (3) if the Eligible Shareholder (or any Constituent Holder) or applicable Shareholder Nominee otherwise breaches or fails to comply in any material respect with its obligations pursuant to this Section 15 or any agreement, representation or undertaking required by this Section; (4) who is or has been, within the past three years, an officer or director of a competitor, as defined in Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914; (5) who is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) or has been convicted in such a criminal proceeding within the past ten years; (6) who is subject to any order of the type specified in Rule 506(d) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; or (7) if the Eligible Shareholder ceases to be an Eligible Shareholder for any reason, including not owning the Proxy Access Request Required Shares through the date of the applicable annual meeting.

For the purposes of the preceding paragraph, clauses (1) and (2) and, to the extent related to a breach or failure by the Shareholder Nominee, clause (3) will result in the exclusion from the proxy materials pursuant to this Section 15 of the specific Shareholder Nominee to whom the ineligibility applies, or, if the proxy statement already has been filed, the ineligibility of such Shareholder Nominee to be nominated; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that clause (4) and, to the extent related to a breach or failure by an Eligible Shareholder (or any Constituent Holder), clause (3) will result in the Voting Share owned by such Eligible Shareholder (or Constituent Holder) being excluded from the Proxy Access Request Required Shares (and, if as a result the Proxy Access Notice shall no longer have been filed by an Eligible Shareholder, the exclusion from the proxy materials pursuant to this Section 15 of all of the applicable shareholder's Shareholder Nominees from the applicable annual meeting of shareholders or, if the proxy statement has already been filed, the ineligibility of all of such shareholder's Shareholder Nominees to be nominated).

This Section 15 provides the exclusive method for a shareholder to include nominees for election to the Board of Directors in the Corporation's proxy materials (including any proxy card or written ballot), other than with respect to Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act to the extent applicable with respect to form of proxies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) *Termination: A severance of employment for any reason (including Retirement) from the Company and all Subsidiaries.* 

2. **Delivery Dates and Shareholder Rights**. The Delivery Dates for Shares underlying the Units are the respective dates on which
the Shares are payable to the Employee pursuant to Section 4 below. Prior to the Delivery Date(s):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Employee shall not be treated as a shareholder as to those Shares underlying the Units, and shall have only a contractual right
to receive Shares, unsecured by any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Employee shall not be permitted to vote the Shares underlying the Units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Employee's right to receive such Shares will be subject to the adjustment provisions relating to mergers, reorganizations,
and similar events set forth in the Program.

The Employee shall receive cash payments equal to the dividends and distributions paid on Shares underlying the Units (the "Dividend Equivalents") (other than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to its Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization) to the same extent and on the same date (or as soon as practicable thereafter) as if each Unit were a Share; provided, however, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Employee with respect to dividends or distributions the record date for which occurs on or after the date the Employee has forfeited the Units, or the date the Units are settled. For purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the specified date for payment of any Dividend Equivalents to which the Employee is entitled under this Section 2 is the calendar year during the term of this Agreement in which the associated dividends or distributions are paid on Shares underlying the Units. The Employee shall have no right to determine the year in which Dividend Equivalents will be paid.

3. **Restrictions.** The Units are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 5 and 6 below. The Units are not earned and may
not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the "Restrictions") until the
Units are settled.

4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. Subject to Sections 5 and 6 below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **During Employment**. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Restrictions on one-third of the
Units will lapse on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Grant Date (each, a "Delivery Date") until, on the
third anniversary of the Grant Date, 100% of the Units are no longer subject to the Restrictions. Units for which Restrictions have lapsed
shall be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s). Unless indicated otherwise, Shares shall be delivered in an equal number
(subject to rounding) as of each Delivery Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Retirement**. If the Employee's Termination occurs due to Retirement, then any Units not previously settled shall be settled
in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above occurring after the date of such Retirement
as if the Employee had remained employed on such dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Employee's death after
his or her Termination due to Retirement, for any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date, the restrictions shall lapse on the
Employee's date of death and the Units will be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective
as of, the date of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Death**. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Termination due to death, and any Units not previously
settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled (for the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws
of descent or distribution) in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Disability**. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Disability, and any Units not previously settled
on a Delivery Date shall be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of
Disability.

5. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. Any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion
and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes Cause, whether or not the Employee
experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.

6. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effect of Termination.** In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than Retirement, death or Disability,
any Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall be forfeited without consideration to
the Employee or the Employee's Representative. In the event that the Employee is terminated by the Company other than for Cause,
the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause Restrictions on some or all of the Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date to lapse
and be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Dates set forth in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed
on such dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 6(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

7. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Units back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Units and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Units that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

8. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

9. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Awards or other Program
Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and
the Employee. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

10. **No Right to Compensation**. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated with the Award is an item
of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed part of the Employee's
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, pension, retirement, or any other employee benefits, or similar
payments under plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

11. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [For California residents] In the course of administering the Program,
 the Company collects Employee Data that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of
 being associated with a particular Employee and does not sell or share Employee Data with
 third parties for monetary value or cross contextual behavioral advertising. The Company's
 Privacy Notice to California Employees can be found at: <u>California_Employee_Use_of_Personal_Information.pdf</u>.

12. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Units, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

13. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding
the Award and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the
Award. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified,
or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by
a duly authorized Company officer.

14. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

15. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant
to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements
or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's
Shares are listed. Furthermore, if the Employee relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternative terms and
conditions as necessary or advisable to comply with local law, facilitate the administration of the Program and/or accommodate the Employee's
relocation.

16. **Code Section 409A**. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with
the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted
in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A
and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and
without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from
Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Employee shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Employee has incurred a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Employee's Termination (including Retirement) shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Employee's Termination (or upon the Employee's death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable: (i) all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (ii) the term "as soon as administratively possible" means a period of time that is within 60 days after the Termination due to death or Disability (as applicable); and (iii) the date of the Employee's Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

17. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

18. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

19. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

20. **Venue**. For any legal action relating to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the federal courts of the Northern District of Illinois, USA, and, if there is no jurisdiction in federal court, to the exclusive

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) For purposes of calculating service under this Section 1(i), except as otherwise provided by the Committee or its delegate, service
is earned only if performed for a member of the Controlled Group while that Controlled Group member is a part of the Controlled Group.
Program administrative rules apply in determining Retirement eligibility and credited service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) If an Employee has a Termination and (A) as of the date of that Termination met the definition of Retirement, and (B) is
subsequently rehired by a member of the Controlled Group, then for purposes of this Agreement that Employee will continue to be treated
as meeting the definition of Retirement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) *Termination*: A severance of employment for any reason (including Retirement) from the Company and all Subsidiaries. Any Termination
shall be effective on the last day the Employee performs services for or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiary, and employment shall
not be extended by any statutory or common law notice of termination period.

2. **Delivery Dates and Shareholder Rights**. The Delivery Dates for Shares underlying the Units are the respective dates on which
the Shares are payable to the Employee pursuant to Section 4 below. Prior to the Delivery Date(s):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Employee shall not be treated as a shareholder as to those Shares underlying the Units, and shall have only a contractual right
to receive Shares, unsecured by any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Employee shall not be permitted to vote the Shares underlying the Units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Employee's right to receive such Shares will be subject to the adjustment provisions relating to mergers, reorganizations,
and similar events set forth in the Program.

Subject to the requirements of local law, the Employee shall receive cash payments equal to the dividends and distributions paid on Shares underlying the Units (the "Dividend Equivalents") (other than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to its Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization) to the same extent and on the same date (or as soon as practicable thereafter) as if each Unit were a Share; provided, however, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Employee with respect to dividends or distributions the record date for which occurs on or after the date the Employee has forfeited the Units, or the date the Units are settled. For purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the specified date for payment of any Dividend Equivalents to which the Employee is entitled under this Section 2 is the calendar year during the term of this Agreement in which the associated dividends or distributions are paid on Shares underlying the Units. The Employee shall have no right to determine the year in which Dividend Equivalents will be paid.

3. **Restrictions**. The Units are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 5 and 6 below. The Units are not earned and may
not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the "Restrictions") until the
Units are settled.

4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. Subject to Sections 5 and 6 below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment*. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Restrictions on one-third of the
Units will lapse on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Grant Date (each, a "Delivery Date") until, on the
third anniversary of the Grant Date, 100% of the Units are no longer subject to the Restrictions. Units for which Restrictions have lapsed
shall be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s). Unless indicated otherwise, Shares shall be delivered in an equal number
(subject to rounding) as of each Delivery Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Retirement*. If the Employee's Termination occurs due to Retirement, then any Units not previously settled shall be settled
in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above occurring after the date of such Retirement
as if the Employee had remained employed on such dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Employee's death after
his or her Termination due to Retirement, for any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date, the restrictions shall lapse on the
Employee's date of death and the Units will be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective
as of, the date of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Death*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Termination due to death, and any Units not previously
settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled (for the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws
of descent or distribution) in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Disability*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Disability, and any Units not previously settled
on a Delivery Date shall be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of
Disability.

5. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. Any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion
and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes Cause, whether or not the Employee
experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.

6. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Effect of Termination*. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than Retirement, death or Disability,
any Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall be forfeited without consideration to
the Employee or the Employee's Representative. In the event that the Employee is terminated by the Company other than for Cause,
the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause Restrictions on some or all of the Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date to lapse
and be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Dates set forth in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed
on such dates. In accepting this Award, the Employee acknowledges that in the event of Termination (whether or not in breach of local
labor laws), except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Employee's right to vest in the Units,
if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice
period mandated under local law (*e.g.*, active employment would not include a period of "garden leave" or similar period
pursuant to local law) and that the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively
employed for purposes of this Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Recoupment*. Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 6(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

7. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Units back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Units and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Units that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

8. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

9. **Nature of Grant**. In accepting this grant of Units, the Employee acknowledges that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Program is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or
terminated by the Company at any time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Units, benefits in
lieu of Units, or other Program Benefits in the future, even if Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All decisions with respect to future Unit grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be made by the Committee, in its sole
discretion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and the
Employee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Employee is voluntarily participating in the Program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Units and Shares subject to the Units are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its Subsidiaries,
and are outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) not part of the Employee's normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating
any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement
or welfare benefits, or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services
for the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The future value of the Shares underlying the Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the Units resulting from (i) Termination
(for any reason whatsoever) and/or (ii) the application of Sections 5 and/or 6 above and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company
and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen,
then, by signing or electronically accepting this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Employee's
entitlement to pursue such claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Units and the Benefits under the Program, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger,
take-over or transfer of liability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the Units, the amount realized upon settlement
of the Units or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, resulting from any fluctuation
of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate.

10. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon request of the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable), the Employee agrees to provide an executed
data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required), as deemed necessary by the Company or the Subsidiary
that employs the Employee (if applicable) for the purpose of administering the Employee's participation in the Program in compliance
with the data privacy laws in the Employee's country, either now or in the future. If the Employee fails to provide any such consent
or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) and the Committee or its delegate
determines that the collection, processing and/or transfer of Data without such consent or agreement would violate the laws in the Employee's
country, the Employee understands and agrees that the Employee will not be able to participate in the Program and the Award will be null
and void.

11. **Form of Payment**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of a cash payment
to the extent settlement in Shares: (i) is prohibited under local law; (ii) would require the Employee, the Company and/or its
Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Employee's country; (iii) would result
in adverse tax consequences for the Employee or the Company; or (iv) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company may,
in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of Shares but require the Employee to sell such Shares immediately
or within a specified period of time following the Employee's Termination (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company
the authority to issue sales instructions on the Employee's behalf).

12. **Private Placement**. The grant of this Unit is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Employee's country.
The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise
required under local law), and this grant of Units is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

13. **Exchange Controls**. As a condition to this grant of Units, the Employee agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange
rules and regulations.

14. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with
the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Shares are listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee's participation in the Program and legally applicable to the
Employee or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if technically due by the Company
or its Subsidiaries ("Tax-Related Items"), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items
is and remains the Employee's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The
Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, lapse of Restrictions
or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon payment of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such
issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation
to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee's liability for Tax-Related Items
or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one (1) jurisdiction between
the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be
required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one (1) jurisdiction.

15. **Code Section 409A**. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with
the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted
in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A
and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and
without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from
Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Employee shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Employee has incurred a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Employee's Termination (including Retirement) shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Employee's Termination (or upon the Employee's death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable: (i) all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (ii) the term "as soon as administratively possible" means a period of time that is within 60 days after the Termination due to death or Disability (as applicable); and (iii) the date of the Employee's Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

16. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Units, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

17. **Imposition of Other Requirements**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee's participation
in the Program, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Program, to the extent the Company or its Subsidiaries determines it
is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program, and to require the Employee
to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Employee agrees to take any and
all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and

***EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM***

<u>Data Privacy</u>. The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety:

Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, Abbott and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (the "Employer") hereby notifies the Employee of the following in relation to the Employee's Personal Data (defined below) and the collection, processing and transfer in electronic or other form of such Personal Data in relation to the administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program. The collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's Personal Data is necessary for the legitimate purpose of Abbott and the Employer's administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Employee's denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of Personal Data may affect the Employee's participation in the Program. As such, by accepting the Units, the Employee acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of Personal Data as described herein.

Abbott and the Employer hold certain personally identifiable information about the Employee, specifically, the Employee's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in Abbott, details of all Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee's favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Program ("Personal Data"). The Personal Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties. Abbott or the Employer each act as controllers of the Personal Data and will process the Personal Data in this context for the exclusive legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program and meeting related legal obligations associated with these actions.

The processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures correlated to the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations. Personal Data will be accessible within Abbott's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and other aspects of the employment relationship and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

Abbott and the Employer will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and Abbott and the Employer may each further transfer Personal Data to third parties assisting Abbott or the Employer in the implementation, administration and management of the Program, including UBS Financial Services Inc. or any successor or other third party that Abbott, the Employer or UBS Financial Services Inc. (or its successor) may engage to assist with the administration of the Program from time to time. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. By participating in the Program, the Employee understands that these recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Personal Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program. The Employee further understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Employee's Personal Data by contacting the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources Department. When transferring Personal Data to these potential recipients, Abbott and the Employer provide appropriate safeguards in accordance with EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally binding and permissible arrangements. The Employee may request a copy of such safeguards from the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

To the extent provided by law, the Employee may, at any time, have the right to request: access to Personal Data, rectification of Personal Data, erasure of Personal Data, restriction of processing of Personal Data, and portability of Personal Data. The Employee may also have the right to object, on grounds related to a particular situation, to the processing of Personal Data, as well as opt-out of the Program herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee's human resources manager. The Employee's provision of Personal Data is a contractual requirement. The Employee understands, however, that the only consequence of refusing to provide Personal Data is that Abbott and the Employer may not be able to let the Employee participate in the Program, or grant other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. For more information on the consequences of the Employee's refusal to provide Personal Data, the Employee understands that the Employee may contact his or her local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

When Abbott and the Employer no longer need to use Personal Data for the purposes above or do not need to retain it for compliance with any legal or regulatory purpose, each will take reasonable steps to remove Personal Data from their systems and/or records containing the Personal Data and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that the Employee can no longer be identified from it.

***AUSTRALIA***

1. <u>Breach of Law</u>.

The Employee further authorizes the Company and any of its Subsidiaries to disclose and discuss the Program with their advisors. The Employee further authorizes the Company and any of its Subsidiaries to record such information and to keep such information in the Employee's employee file. The Employee acknowledges that the Company and other parties involved in the administration of the Program may use technology to collect and use information to assess certain characteristics, for example, for the purpose of evaluating the Employee's work performance, which may have an impact on the Employee or the administration of the Program.

4. <u>French Language Documents</u>. If the Employee works or resides in Quebec, the following provision replaces Section 24 of the Agreement in its entirety:

A French translation of the Agreement and the Program will be made available to the Employee . The Employee understands that, from time to time, additional information related to the offering of the Program might be provided in English and such information may not be immediately available in French. However, upon request, the Company will translate into French documents related to the offering of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, and unless the Employee indicates otherwise, the French translation of the Agreement and the Program will govern the Award.

*<u>Documents en français</u>. Si l'Employé travaille ou réside au Québec, la disposition suivante remplace l'article 24 de la Convention dans son intégralité:*

*Une traduction française de la présente Convention et du Programme sera mise à la disposition de l'Employé .

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) *La oferta versa sobre valores no inscritos en el registro de valores o en el registro de valores extranjeros que lleva la Comisión para el Mercado Financiero de Chile, por lo que tales valores no están sujetos a la fiscalización de ésta;*

***CHINA***

*The following provisions shall apply to individuals who are subject to the People's Republic of China ("China") exchange control requirements, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:*

1. <u>Treatment of Units upon Retirement</u>. Provided that the Employee is not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, if the Employee experiences a Termination due to Retirement, Restrictions on the Units shall lapse on the date of the Termination, and any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of Termination.

2. <u>Foreign Exchange Control Laws</u>. The Employee agrees to hold the Shares received upon settlement of the Units and any and all previously granted restricted stock units with the Company's designated broker. If the Company changes its designated broker, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may transfer any Shares issued under the Program to the new designated broker if necessary for legal or administrative reasons. The Employee agrees to sign any documentation necessary to facilitate the transfer. Upon a Termination, the Employee shall be required to sell all Shares issued pursuant to the Units within 90 days (or such shorter period as may be required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange) of the Termination date and repatriate the sales proceeds to China in the manner designated by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, the Company shall establish procedures for effectuating the forced sale of the Shares (including procedures whereby the Company may issue sell instructions on behalf of the Employee), and the Employee hereby agrees to comply with such procedures and take any and all actions as the Company determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable for purposes of complying with local laws, rules and regulations in China.

The Employee understands and agrees that the repatriation of dividends and sales proceeds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that sales proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Program may be transferred to such account by the Company on the Employee's behalf prior to being delivered to the Employee. The sales proceeds may be paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company's discretion. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars, the Employee understands that the Employee will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in local currency, the Employee acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the dividends and proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. The Employee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold and the net proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to the Employee. The Employee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in China in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. The Employee agrees to be subject to these restrictions even after Termination.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any costs, fees, lost interest or dividends or other losses the Employee may incur or suffer resulting from the enforcement of the terms of this Addendum or otherwise from the Company's operation and enforcement of the Program, the Agreement and the Units in accordance with Chinese law including, without limitation, any applicable State Administration of Foreign Exchange rules, regulations and requirements.

However, if the provisions in the Agreement or the Program governing the treatment of the Units upon a Termination are more favorable, the provisions of the Agreement or the Program will govern.

***FINLAND***

<u>Withholding of Tax-Related Items</u>.

4. <u>Wages</u>. The Units and Shares subject to the Units do not form part of the Employee's wages for the purposes of calculating any statutory or contractual payments under Hong Kong law.

5. <u>Nature of the Program</u>. The Company specifically intends that the Program will not be treated as an occupational retirement scheme for purposes of the Occupational Retirement Schemes Ordinance ("ORSO"). To the extent any court, tribunal or legal/regulatory body in Hong Kong determines that the Program constitutes an occupational retirement scheme for the purposes of ORSO, the grant of the Units shall be null and void.

***INDIA***

3. <u>Indemnification for Tax Liabilities</u>.

***MEXICO***

1. <u>Commercial Relationship</u>. The Employee expressly acknowledges that the Employee's participation in the Program and the Company's grant of the Award does not constitute an employment relationship between the Employee and the Company. The Employee has been granted the Award as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee, and the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico is the Employee's sole employer. Based on the foregoing: (a) the Employee expressly acknowledges that the Program and the benefits derived from participation in the Program do not establish any rights between the Employee and the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee; (b) the Program and the benefits derived from participation in the Program are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee; and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Program or benefits granted thereunder by the Company, or a termination of the Program by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Employee's employment with the Subsidiary in Mexico.

2. <u>Extraordinary Item of Compensation</u>. The Employee expressly recognizes and acknowledges that the Employee's participation in the Program is a result of the discretionary and unilateral decision of the Company, as well as the Employee's free and voluntary decision to participate in the Program in accord with the terms and conditions of the Program, the Employee's Agreement and this Addendum. As such, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend and/or discontinue the Employee's participation in the Program at any time and without any liability. The value of the Units is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any. The Units are not part of the Employee's regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee.

***MOROCCO***

***NEW ZEALAND***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>.

**Warning**

This is an offer of Units which, upon vesting and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Program and the Agreement, will be converted into Shares. Shares give you a stake in the ownership of Abbott Laboratories. You may receive a return if dividends are paid.

If Abbott Laboratories runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.

Prior to the vesting and settlement of the Units, you will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting rights) with respect to the underlying Shares.

No interest in any Units may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.

The Shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. This means that if you acquire Shares under the Program, you may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.

You also are hereby notified that the documents listed below are available for review on sites at the web addresses listed below:

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from the Employee's failure to comply with applicable laws.

2. <u>Exchange Control Obligations</u>. To the extent applicable, the Employee is required to comply with certain consent and reporting requirements to the State Bank of Pakistan (Pakistan's central bank) under the exchange control laws of Pakistan.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from the Employee's failure to comply with applicable laws.

***PANAMA***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>. Neither the Units nor the Shares that the Employee may acquire under the Program constitute a public offering of securities, as they are available only to eligible employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

***PHILIPPINES***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>. As the offer of Shares under the Program is exempt from the securities registration requirement under Section 10.2 of the Philippine Securities Regulation Code ("SRC"), the Shares have not been registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission under the SRC.

The Employee should be aware of the risks of participating in the Program, including, but not limited to, the risk of fluctuation in the price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange and the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the Employee's local currency.

The Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Units under the Program to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that (i) any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis, other than as set forth in the Agreement; (ii) the Units and the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever; and (iii) the Employee's participation in the Program will cease as of the date of Termination, as detailed below. In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made to the Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Employee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason the Award shall be null and void.

The Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Award, unless otherwise provided in Section 4 of the Agreement, any unvested Units as of the date the Employee ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of Termination by reason of, but not limited to, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with Cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without Cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without Cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers' Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers' Statue, Article 50 of the Workers' Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Subsidiary that employs the Employee and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a Termination on the Units.

3. <u>Securities Law Notice</u>. No "offer of securities to the public," as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory under the Program. The Program, the Award, the Agreement, this Addendum and all other materials the Employee may receive regarding the Employee's participation in the Program have not been nor will they be registered with the *Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores* (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and they do not constitute a public offering prospectus.

***UNITED KINGDOM***

1. <u>Withholding Taxes</u>. The following provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement.

The Employee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Subsidiary in the United Kingdom that employs the Employee (the "Employer") or by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Employee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Employee's behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), he or she would not be eligible to have the Company or the Employer cover any income tax liability on his or her behalf. In this case, any income tax not collected from or paid by the Employee within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax liability occurred (or such other period specified in U.K. law) will constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") will be payable. The Employee will be responsible for paying and reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Employee by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of the Agreement.

2. <u>Exclusion of Claim</u>. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Employee's ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Units, whether or not as a result of Termination (whether the Termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Units. Upon the grant of the Award, the Employee shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.

payable to the Employee pursuant to Section 4 below. Prior to the Delivery Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Employee shall not be treated as a shareholder as to those Shares underlying the Units, and shall have only a contractual right

For purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the specified date for payment of any Dividend Equivalents to which the Employee is entitled under this Section 2 is the calendar year during the term of this Agreement in which the associated dividends or distributions are paid on Shares underlying the Units. The Employee shall have no right to determine the year in which Dividend Equivalents will be paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Restrictions**. The Units are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 5 and 6 below. The Units are not earned and may

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment.* While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Restrictions on 100% of the Units
will lapse on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the "Delivery Date"). Units for which Restrictions have lapsed shall

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Death.* The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Termination due to death, and the Units shall be settled
(for the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution) in the form of Shares
as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Disability.* The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Disability, and the Units shall be settled in
the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of Disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. Any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion
and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes Cause, whether or not the Employee
experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effect of Termination**. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than death or Disability, any
Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall be forfeited without consideration to the
Employee or the Employee's Representative. In the event that the Employee is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the
Company may, in its sole discretion, cause Restrictions on some or all of the Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date to lapse
and be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date set forth in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed
on such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 6(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Units back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Units and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Units that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Awards or other Program
Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and
the Employee. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **No Right to Compensation**. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated with the Award is an item
of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed part of the Employee's
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, pension, retirement, or any other employee benefits, or similar
payments under plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Units, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding
the Award and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the
Award. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified,
or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by
a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant
to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements
or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's
Shares are listed. Furthermore, if the Employee relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternative terms and
conditions as necessary or advisable to comply with local law, facilitate the administration of the Program, and/or accommodate the Employee's
relocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Code Section 409A**. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with
the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted
in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A
and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and
without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from
Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Employee shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Employee has incurred a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Employee's Termination (including retirement) shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Employee's Termination (or upon the Employee's death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable: (i) all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (ii) the term "as soon as administratively possible" means a period of time that is within 60 days after the Termination due to death or Disability (as applicable); and (iii) the date of the Employee's Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Venue**. For any legal action relating to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the federal courts of the Northern District of Illinois, USA, and, if there is no jurisdiction in federal court, to the exclusive

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Delivery Date and Shareholder Rights**. The Delivery Date for Shares underlying the Units is the date on which the Shares are
payable to the Employee pursuant to Section 4 below. Prior to the Delivery Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Employee shall not be treated as a shareholder as to those Shares underlying the Units, and shall have only a contractual right
to receive Shares, unsecured by any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Employee shall not be permitted to vote the Shares underlying the Units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Employee's right to receive such Shares will be subject to the adjustment provisions relating to mergers, reorganizations,
and similar events set forth in the Program.

Subject to the requirements of local law, the Employee shall receive cash payments equal to the dividends and distributions paid on Shares underlying the Units (the "Dividend Equivalents") (other than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to its Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization) to the same extent and on the same date (or as soon as practicable thereafter) as if each Unit were a Share; provided, however, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Employee with respect to dividends or distributions the record date for which occurs on or after the date the Employee has forfeited the Units, or the date the Units are settled. For purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the specified date for payment of any Dividend Equivalents to which the Employee is entitled under this Section 2 is the calendar year during the term of this Agreement in which the associated dividends or distributions are paid on Shares underlying the Units. The Employee shall have no right to determine the year in which Dividend Equivalents will be paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Restrictions**. The Units are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 5 and 6 below. The Units are not earned and may
not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the "Restrictions") until the
Units are settled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. Subject to Sections 5 and 6 below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment*. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Restrictions on 100% of the Units
will lapse on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the "Delivery Date"). Units for which Restrictions have lapsed shall
be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Death*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Termination due to death, and the Units shall be settled
(for the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution) in the form of Shares
as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Disability*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Disability, and the Units shall be settled in
the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of Disability  *.*** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. Any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion
and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes Cause, whether or not the Employee
experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effect of Termination**. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than death or Disability, any
Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall be forfeited without consideration to the
Employee or the Employee's Representative. In the event that the Employee is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the
Company may, in its sole discretion, cause Restrictions on some or all of the Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date to lapse
and be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date set forth in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed
on such date. In accepting this Award, the Employee acknowledges that in the event of Termination (whether or not in breach of local labor
laws), except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Employee's right to vest in the Units,
if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice
period mandated under local law (*e.g.*, active employment would not include a period of "garden leave" or similar period
pursuant to local law) and that the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively
employed for purposes of this Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 6(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Units back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Units and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Units that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement*.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **Nature of Grant**. In accepting this grant of Units, the Employee acknowledges that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Program is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or
terminated by the Company at any time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Units, benefits in
lieu of Units, or other Program Benefits in the future, even if Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All decisions with respect to future Unit grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be made by the Committee, in its sole
discretion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and the
Employee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Employee is voluntarily participating in the Program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Units and Shares subject to the Units are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its Subsidiaries,
and are outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) not part of the Employee's normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating
any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement
or welfare benefits, or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services
for the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The future value of the Shares underlying the Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the Units resulting from (i) Termination
(for any reason whatsoever) and/or (ii) the application of Sections 5 and/or 6 above and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company
and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen,
then, by signing or electronically accepting this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Employee's
entitlement to pursue such claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Units and the Benefits under the Program, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger,
take-over or transfer of liability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the Units, the amount realized upon settlement
of the Units or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, resulting from any fluctuation
of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon request of the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable), the Employee agrees to provide an executed
data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required), as deemed necessary by the Company or the Subsidiary
that employs the Employee (if applicable) for the purpose of administering the Employee's participation in the Program in compliance
with the data privacy laws in the Employee's country, either now or in the future. If the Employee fails to provide any such consent
or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) and the Committee or its delegate
determines that the collection, processing and/or transfer of Data without such consent or agreement would violate the laws in the Employee's
country, the Employee understands and agrees that the Employee will not be able to participate in the Program and the Award will be null
and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Form of Payment**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of a cash payment
to the extent settlement in Shares: (i) is prohibited under local law; (ii) would require the Employee, the Company and/or its
Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Employee's country; (iii) would result
in adverse tax consequences for the Employee or the Company; or (iv) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company may,
in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of Shares but require the Employee to sell such Shares immediately
or within a specified period of time following the Employee's Termination (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company
the authority to issue sales instructions on the Employee's behalf).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Private Placement**. The grant of this Unit is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Employee's country.
The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise
required under local law), and this grant of Units is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Exchange Controls**. As a condition to this grant of Units, the Employee agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange
rules and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with
the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Shares are listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee's participation in the Program and legally applicable to the
Employee or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if technically due by the Company
or its Subsidiaries ("Tax-Related Items"), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items
is and remains the Employee's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The
Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, lapse of Restrictions
or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon payment of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such
issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation
to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee's liability for Tax-Related Items
or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one (1) jurisdiction between
the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be
required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one (1) jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Code Section 409A**. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with
the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted
in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A
and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and
without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from
Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Employee shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Employee has incurred a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Employee's Termination (including retirement) shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Employee's Termination (or upon the Employee's death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable: (i) all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (ii) the term "as soon as administratively possible" means a period of time that is within 60 days after the Termination due to death or Disability (as applicable); and (iii) the date of the Employee's Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Units, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **Imposition of Other Requirements**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee's participation
in the Program, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Program, to the extent the Company or its Subsidiaries determines it
is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program, and to require the Employee
to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Employee agrees to take any and
all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and
its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Employee's country. In addition, the Employee agrees
to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Employee's personal obligations under local laws, rules and
regulations in the Employee's country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Electronic Delivery**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future
participation in the Program by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees
to participate in the Program through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated
by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Addendum**. This grant of Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement
for the Employee's country. Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms
and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and
conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program (or the Company
may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's relocation). The Addendum
constitutes part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding
the Award and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the
Award. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified,
or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by
a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. **Language**. If the Employee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Program translated into a language
other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. **Venue**. For any legal action relating to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the federal courts of the Northern District of Illinois, USA, and, if there is no jurisdiction in federal court, to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of the state courts in Lake County, Illinois, USA.

In addition to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Award is subject to the following terms and conditions. All defined terms contained in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Program. If the Employee is employed in a country identified in the Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply. If the Employee transfers residence and/or employment to or otherwise becomes subject to the local laws, rules, and/or regulations in a country identified in the Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable to comply with local law or to facilitate administration of the Program (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's transfer).

***EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM***

<u>Data Privacy</u>. The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety:

Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, Abbott and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (the "Employer") hereby notifies the Employee of the following in relation to the Employee's Personal Data (defined below) and the collection, processing and transfer in electronic or other form of such Personal Data in relation to the administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program. The collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's Personal Data is necessary for the legitimate purpose of Abbott and the Employer's administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Employee's denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of Personal Data may affect the Employee's participation in the Program. As such, by accepting the Units, the Employee acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of Personal Data as described herein.

Abbott and the Employer hold certain personally identifiable information about the Employee, specifically, the Employee's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in Abbott, details of all Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee's favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Program ("Personal Data"). The Personal Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties. Abbott or the Employer each act as controllers of the Personal Data and will process the Personal Data in this context for the exclusive legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program and meeting related legal obligations associated with these actions.

The processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures correlated to the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations. Personal Data will be accessible within Abbott's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and other aspects of the employment relationship and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

Abbott and the Employer will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and Abbott and the Employer may each further transfer Personal Data to third parties assisting Abbott or the Employer in the implementation, administration and management of the Program, including UBS Financial Services Inc. or any successor or other third party that Abbott, the Employer or UBS Financial Services Inc. (or its successor) may engage to assist with the administration of the Program from time to time. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. By participating in the Program, the Employee understands that these recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Personal Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program. The Employee further understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Employee's Personal Data by contacting the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources Department. When transferring Personal Data to these potential recipients, Abbott and the Employer provide appropriate safeguards in accordance with EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally binding and permissible arrangements. The Employee may request a copy of such safeguards from the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

To the extent provided by law, the Employee may, at any time, have the right to request: access to Personal Data, rectification of Personal Data, erasure of Personal Data, restriction of processing of Personal Data, and portability of Personal Data. The Employee may also have the right to object, on grounds related to a particular situation, to the processing of Personal Data, as well as opt-out of the Program herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee's human resources manager. The Employee's provision of Personal Data is a contractual requirement. The Employee understands, however, that the only consequence of refusing to provide Personal Data is that Abbott and the Employer may not be able to let the Employee participate in the Program, or grant other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. For more information on the consequences of the Employee's refusal to provide Personal Data, the Employee understands that the Employee may contact his or her local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

When Abbott and the Employer no longer need to use Personal Data for the purposes above or do not need to retain it for compliance with any legal or regulatory purpose, each will take reasonable steps to remove Personal Data from their systems and/or records containing the Personal Data and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that the Employee can no longer be identified from it.

***AUSTRALIA***

1. <u>Breach of Law</u>.

The Employee further authorizes the Company and any of its Subsidiaries to disclose and discuss the Program with their advisors. The Employee further authorizes the Company and any of its Subsidiaries to record such information and to keep such information in the Employee's employee file. The Employee acknowledges that the Company and other parties involved in the administration of the Program may use technology to collect and use information to assess certain characteristics, for example, for the purpose of evaluating the Employee's work performance, which may have an impact on the Employee or the administration of the Program.

4. <u>French Language Documents</u>. If the Employee works or resides in Quebec, the following provision replaces Section 24 of the Agreement in its entirety:

A French translation of the Agreement and the Program will be made available to the Employee.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, and unless the Employee indicates otherwise, the French translation of the Agreement and the Program will govern the Award.

The grant of the Units hereunder is not intended to be a public offering of securities in Chile but instead is intended to be a private placement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) The starting date of the offer will be the Grant Date (as defined in the Agreement), and this offer conforms to General Ruling no.
336 of the Chilean Commission for the Financial Market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) The offer deals with securities not registered in the registry of securities or in the registry of foreign securities of the Chilean

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) *Esos valores no podrán ser objeto de oferta pública mientras no sean inscritos en el registro de valores correspondiente.* 

***CHINA***

*The following provisions shall apply to individuals who are subject to the People's Republic of China ("China") exchange control requirements, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:*

<u>Foreign Exchange Control Laws</u>. The Employee agrees to hold the Shares received upon settlement of the Units and any and all previously granted restricted stock units with the Company's designated broker. If the Company changes its designated broker, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may transfer any Shares issued under the Program to the new designated broker if necessary for legal or administrative reasons. The Employee agrees to sign any documentation necessary to facilitate the transfer. Upon a Termination, the Employee shall be required to sell all Shares issued pursuant to the Units within 90 days (or such shorter period as may be required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange) of the Termination date and repatriate the sales proceeds to China in the manner designated by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, the Company shall establish procedures for effectuating the forced sale of the Shares (including procedures whereby the Company may issue sell instructions on behalf of the Employee), and the Employee hereby agrees to comply with such procedures and take any and all actions as the Company determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable for purposes of complying with local laws, rules and regulations in China.

The Employee understands and agrees that the repatriation of dividends and sales proceeds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that sales proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Program may be transferred to such account by the Company on the Employee's behalf prior to being delivered to the Employee. The sales proceeds may be paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company's discretion. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars, the Employee understands that the Employee will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in local currency, the Employee acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the dividends and proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. The Employee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold and the net proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to the Employee. The Employee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in China in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. The Employee agrees to be subject to these restrictions even after Termination.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any costs, fees, lost interest or dividends or other losses the Employee may incur or suffer resulting from the enforcement of the terms of this Addendum or otherwise from the Company's operation and enforcement of the Program, the Agreement and the Units in accordance with Chinese law including, without limitation, any applicable State Administration of Foreign Exchange rules, regulations and requirements.

As such, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend and/or discontinue the Employee's participation in the Program at any time and without any liability. The value of the Units is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any. The Units are not part of the Employee's regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee.

***NEW ZEALAND***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>.

**Warning**

This is an offer of Units which, upon vesting and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Program and the Agreement, will be converted into Shares. Shares give you a stake in the ownership of Abbott Laboratories. You may receive a return if dividends are paid.

If Abbott Laboratories runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.

Prior to the vesting and settlement of the Units, you will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting rights) with respect to the underlying Shares.

No interest in any Units may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.

The Shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. This means that if you acquire Shares under the Program, you may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.

You also are hereby notified that the documents listed below are available for review on sites at the web addresses listed below:

The Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Units under the Program to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that (i) any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis, other than as set forth in the Agreement; (ii) the Units and the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever; and (iii) the Employee's participation in the Program will cease as of the date of Termination, as detailed below. In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made to the Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Employee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason the Award shall be null and void.

The Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Award, unless otherwise provided in Section 4 of the Agreement, any unvested Units as of the date the Employee ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of Termination by reason of, but not limited to, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with Cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without Cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without Cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers' Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers' Statue, Article 50 of the Workers' Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Subsidiary that employs the Employee and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a Termination on the Units.

2. <u>Termination for Cause</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Program or the Agreement, "Cause" shall be as defined as set forth in the Agreement, regardless of whether the Termination is considered a fair termination (i.e., "despido procedente") under Spanish legislation.

3. <u>Securities Law Notice</u>. No "offer of securities to the public," as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory under the Program. The Program, the Award, the Agreement, this Addendum and all other materials the Employee may receive regarding the Employee's participation in the Program have not been nor will they be registered with the *Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores* (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and they do not constitute a public offering prospectus.

***UNITED KINGDOM***

1. <u>Withholding Taxes</u>. The following provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement.

The Employee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Subsidiary in the United Kingdom that employs the Employee (the "Employer") or by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Employee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Employee's behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), he or she would not be eligible to have the Company or the Employer cover any income tax liability on his or her behalf. In this case, any income tax not collected from or paid by the Employee within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax liability occurred (or such other period specified in U.K. law) will constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") will be payable. The Employee will be responsible for paying and reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Employee by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of the Agreement.

2. <u>Exclusion of Claim</u>. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Employee's ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Units, whether or not as a result of Termination (whether the Termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Units. Upon the grant of the Award, the Employee shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.

as meeting the definition of Retirement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) *Termination*: A severance of employment for any reason (including Retirement) from the Company and all Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Shareholder Rights**. Subject to the conditions below, the Employee shall have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to
the Shares (and any securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to the Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination,
stock dividend or recapitalization, which securities shall be deemed to be "Shares" hereunder) including the right to vote
and to receive all cash dividends or other cash distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares regardless of whether the Restrictions
described below are in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Restrictions**. The Shares are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 5 and 6 below. The Shares are not earned and
may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the "Restrictions") until
an event or combination of events described in subsections 4(a), (b), (c) or (d) occurs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment*. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Restrictions on one-third of the Shares will lapse on the last business day of February 20__, provided the Company's
prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Restrictions on an additional one-third of the total number of Shares will lapse on the last business day of February 20__,
provided the Company's prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Restrictions on an additional one-third of the total number of Shares will lapse on the last business day of February 20__,
provided the Company's prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent.

If the Restrictions do not lapse on the respective date set forth in subsection 4(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) above, such Restrictions shall not lapse at a later date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Retirement*. The Restrictions shall continue to apply in the event of the Employee's Termination due to Retirement, but
may lapse thereafter in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of the Employee's death after his or her Termination due to Retirement, the restrictions shall lapse
on the date of the Employee's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Death*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Termination due to death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Disability*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date the Employee incurs 12 consecutive months of Disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts.** Any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed shall be cancelled and forfeited
immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes
Cause, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Effect of Termination*. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any
reason other than Retirement, death or Disability, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination
shall be forfeited without consideration to the Employee or the Employee's Representative. In the event that the Employee is terminated
by the Company other than for Cause, the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause Restrictions on some or all of the Shares to lapse
on the dates set forth in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed on such dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Recoupment.* Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 6(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Award back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Award and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Award that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Award, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Awards or other Program
Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and
the Employee. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **No Right to Compensation**. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated with the Award is an item
of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed part of the Employee's
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, pension, retirement, or any other employee benefits, or similar
payments under plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [For California residents] In the course of administering the Program,
 the Company collects Employee Data that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of
 being associated with a particular Employee and does not sell or share Employee Data with
 third parties for monetary value or cross contextual behavioral advertising. The Company's
 Privacy Notice to California Employees can be found at: <u>California_Employee_Use_of_Personal_Information.pdf</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Award, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding
the Award and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the
Award. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified,
or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by
a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant
to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements
or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's
Shares are listed. Furthermore, if the Employee relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternative terms and
conditions as necessary or advisable to comply with local law, facilitate the administration of the Program and/or accommodate the Employee's
relocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Code Section 409A**. The Award is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Program and
this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that the Award
is subject to Code Section 409A and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the
Company's sole discretion, and without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A
or otherwise be exempt from Code Section 409A.

Although this Agreement and the Benefits provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the Benefits provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) *Termination*: A severance of employment for any reason (including Retirement) from the Company and all Subsidiaries. Any Termination
shall be effective on the last day the Employee performs services for or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiary, and employment shall
not be extended by any statutory or common law notice of termination period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Delivery Dates and Shareholder Rights**. The Delivery Dates for Shares underlying the Units are the respective dates on which
the Shares are payable to the Employee pursuant to Section 4 below. Prior to the Delivery Date(s):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Employee shall not be treated as a shareholder as to those Shares underlying the Units, and shall have only a contractual right
to receive Shares, unsecured by any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Employee shall not be permitted to vote the Shares underlying the Units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Employee's right to receive such Shares will be subject to the adjustment provisions relating to mergers, reorganizations,
and similar events set forth in the Program.

Subject to the requirements of local law, the Employee shall receive cash payments equal to the dividends and distributions paid on Shares underlying the Units (the "*Dividend Equivalents*") (other than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to its Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization) to the same extent and on the same date (or as soon as practicable thereafter) as if each Unit were a Share; provided, however, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Employee with respect to dividends or distributions the record date for which occurs on or after the date the Employee has forfeited the Units, or the date the Units are settled. For purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the specified date for payment of any Dividend Equivalents to which the Employee is entitled under this Section 2 is the calendar year during the term of this Agreement in which the associated dividends or distributions are paid on Shares underlying the Units. The Employee shall have no right to determine the year in which Dividend Equivalents will be paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Restrictions**. The Units are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 5 and 6 below. The Units are not earned and may
not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the "Restrictions") until the
Units are settled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. Subject to Sections 5 and 6 below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment*. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Restrictions on one-third of the total number of Units will lapse on the last business day of February 20__, provided the
Company's prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Restrictions on an additional one-third of the total number of Units will lapse on the last business day of February 20__,
provided the Company's prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Restrictions on an additional one-third of the total number of Units will lapse on the last business day of February 20__,
provided the Company's prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent.

If the Restrictions do not lapse on the respective date set forth in subsection 4(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) above, such Restrictions shall not lapse at a later date.

Units for which Restrictions have lapsed, as described in this subsection 4(a), shall be settled in the form of Shares on the date(s) on which such Restrictions lapse (each, a "Delivery Date"). Unless indicated otherwise, Shares shall be delivered in an equal number (subject to rounding) as of each Delivery Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Retirement*. The Restrictions shall continue to apply in the event of the Employee's Termination due to Retirement, but
may lapse thereafter in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a), in which case any Units not previously settled shall be settled
in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above occurring after the date of such Retirement
as if the Employee had remained employed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Employee's death after his or her Termination
due to Retirement, for any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date, the restrictions shall lapse on the Employee's date
of death and the Units will be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date
of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Death*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Termination due to death, and any Units not previously
settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled (for the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws
of descent or distribution) in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Disability*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Disability, and any Units not previously settled
on a Delivery Date shall be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of
Disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. Any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion
and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes Cause, whether or not the Employee
experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Effect of Termination*. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than Retirement, death or Disability,
any Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall be forfeited without consideration to
the Employee or the Employee's Representative. In the event that the Employee is terminated by the Company other than for Cause,
the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all of the Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date to continue to be subject
to the Restrictions, provided such Restrictions may lapse thereafter in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a), in which case
such Units shall be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above occurring after
the date of such Termination. In accepting this Award, the Employee acknowledges that in the event of Termination (whether or not in breach
of local labor laws), except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Employee's right to vest
in the Units, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended
by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of "garden leave" or similar
period pursuant to local law) and that the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively
employed for purposes of this Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Recoupment*. Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 6(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Units back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Units and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Units that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **Nature of Grant**. In accepting this grant of Units, the Employee acknowledges that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Program is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified,
amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Units, benefits in
lieu of Units, or other Program Benefits in the future, even if Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All decisions with respect to future Unit grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be made by the Committee, in its sole
discretion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and the
Employee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Employee is voluntarily participating in the Program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Units and Shares subject to the Units are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its Subsidiaries,
and are outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) not part of the Employee's normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating
any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement
or welfare benefits, or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services
for the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The future value of the Shares underlying the Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the Units resulting from (i) Termination
(for any reason whatsoever) and/or (ii) the application of Sections 5 and/or 6 above and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company
and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen,
then, by signing or electronically accepting this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Employee's
entitlement to pursue such claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Units and the Benefits under the Program, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger,
take-over or transfer of liability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the Units, the amount realized upon settlement
of the Units or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, resulting from any fluctuation
of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon request of the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable), the Employee agrees to provide an executed
data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required), as deemed necessary by the Company or the Subsidiary
that employs the Employee (if applicable) for the purpose of administering the Employee's participation in the Program in compliance
with the data privacy laws in the Employee's country, either now or in the future. If the Employee fails to provide any such consent
or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) and the Committee or its delegate
determines that the collection, processing and/or transfer of Data without such consent or agreement would violate the laws in the Employee's
country, the Employee understands and agrees that the Employee will not be able to participate in the Program and the Award will be null
and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Form of Payment**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of a cash payment
to the extent settlement in Shares: (i) is prohibited under local law; (ii) would require the Employee, the Company and/or its
Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Employee's country; (iii) would result
in adverse tax consequences for the Employee or the Company; or (iv) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company may,
in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of Shares but require the Employee to sell such Shares immediately
or within a specified period of time following the Employee's Termination (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company
the authority to issue sales instructions on the Employee's behalf).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Private Placement**. The grant of this Unit is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Employee's country.
The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise
required under local law), and this grant of Units is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Exchange Controls**. As a condition to this grant of Units, the Employee agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange
rules and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with
the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Shares are listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee's participation in the Program and legally applicable to the
Employee or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if technically due by the Company
or its Subsidiaries ("Tax-Related Items"), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items
is and remains the Employee's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The
Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, lapse of Restrictions
or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon payment of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such
issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation
to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee's liability for Tax-Related Items
or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one (1) jurisdiction between
the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be
required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one (1) jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Code Section 409A**. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with
the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted
in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A
and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and
without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from
Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Employee shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Employee has incurred a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Employee's Termination (including Retirement) shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Employee's Termination (or upon the Employee's death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable: (i) all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (ii) the term "as soon as administratively possible" means a period of time that is within 60 days after the Termination due to death or Disability (as applicable); and (iii) the date of the Employee's Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Units, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **Imposition of Other Requirements**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee's participation
in the Program, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Program, to the extent the Company or its Subsidiaries determines it
is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program, and to require the Employee
to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Employee agrees to take any and
all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and
its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Employee's country. In addition, the Employee agrees
to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Employee's personal obligations under local laws, rules and
regulations in the Employee's country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Electronic Delivery**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future
participation in the Program by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees
to participate in the Program through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated
by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Addendum**. This grant of Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement
for the Employee's country. Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms
and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and
conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program (or the Company
may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's relocation). The Addendum
constitutes part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding
the Award and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the
Award. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified,
or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by
a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,

***EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM***

<u>Data Privacy</u>. The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety:

Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, Abbott and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (the "Employer") hereby notifies the Employee of the following in relation to the Employee's Personal Data (defined below) and the collection, processing and transfer in electronic or other form of such Personal Data in relation to the administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program. The collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's Personal Data is necessary for the legitimate purpose of Abbott and the Employer's administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Employee's denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of Personal Data may affect the Employee's participation in the Program. As such, by accepting the Units, the Employee acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of Personal Data as described herein.

Abbott and the Employer hold certain personally identifiable information about the Employee, specifically, the Employee's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in Abbott, details of all Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee's favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Program ("Personal Data"). The Personal Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties. Abbott or the Employer each act as controllers of the Personal Data and will process the Personal Data in this context for the exclusive legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program and meeting related legal obligations associated with these actions.

The processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures correlated to the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations. Personal Data will be accessible within Abbott's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and other aspects of the employment relationship and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

Abbott and the Employer will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and Abbott and the Employer may each further transfer Personal Data to third parties assisting Abbott or the Employer in the implementation, administration and management of the Program, including UBS Financial Services Inc. or any successor or other third party that Abbott, the Employer or UBS Financial Services Inc. (or its successor) may engage to assist with the administration of the Program from time to time. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. By participating in the Program, the Employee understands that these recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Personal Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program. The Employee further understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Employee's Personal Data by contacting the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources Department. When transferring Personal Data to these potential recipients, Abbott and the Employer provide appropriate safeguards in accordance with EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally binding and permissible arrangements. The Employee may request a copy of such safeguards from the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

To the extent provided by law, the Employee may, at any time, have the right to request: access to Personal Data, rectification of Personal Data, erasure of Personal Data, restriction of processing of Personal Data, and portability of Personal Data. The Employee may also have the right to object, on grounds related to a particular situation, to the processing of Personal Data, as well as opt-out of the Program herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee's human resources manager. The Employee's provision of Personal Data is a contractual requirement. The Employee understands, however, that the only consequence of refusing to provide Personal Data is that Abbott and the Employer may not be able to let the Employee participate in the Program, or grant other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. For more information on the consequences of the Employee's refusal to provide Personal Data, the Employee understands that the Employee may contact his or her local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

When Abbott and the Employer no longer need to use Personal Data for the purposes above or do not need to retain it for compliance with any legal or regulatory purpose, each will take reasonable steps to remove Personal Data from their systems and/or records containing the Personal Data and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that the Employee can no longer be identified from it.

***CHINA***

*The following provisions shall apply to individuals who are subject to the People's Republic of China ("China") exchange control requirements, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:*

1. <u>Treatment of Units upon Retirement</u>. Provided that the Employee is not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, if the Employee experiences a Termination due to Retirement, Restrictions on the Units shall lapse on the date of the Termination, and any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of Termination.

2. <u>Foreign Exchange Control Laws</u>. The Employee agrees to hold the Shares received upon settlement of the Units and any and all previously granted restricted stock units with the Company's designated broker. If the Company changes its designated broker, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may transfer any Shares issued under the Program to the new designated broker if necessary for legal or administrative reasons. The Employee agrees to sign any documentation necessary to facilitate the transfer. Upon a Termination, the Employee shall be required to sell all Shares issued pursuant to the Units within 90 days (or such shorter period as may be required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange) of the Termination date and repatriate the sales proceeds to China in the manner designated by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, the Company shall establish procedures for effectuating the forced sale of the Shares (including procedures whereby the Company may issue sell instructions on behalf of the Employee), and the Employee hereby agrees to comply with such procedures and take any and all actions as the Company determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable for purposes of complying with local laws, rules and regulations in China.

The Employee understands and agrees that the repatriation of dividends and sales proceeds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that sales proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Program may be transferred to such account by the Company on the Employee's behalf prior to being delivered to the Employee. The sales proceeds may be paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company's discretion. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars, the Employee understands that the Employee will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in local currency, the Employee acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the dividends and proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. The Employee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold and the net proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to the Employee. The Employee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in China in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. The Employee agrees to be subject to these restrictions even after Termination.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any costs, fees, lost interest or dividends or other losses the Employee may incur or suffer resulting from the enforcement of the terms of this Addendum or otherwise from the Company's operation and enforcement of the Program, the Agreement and the Units in accordance with Chinese law including, without limitation, any applicable State Administration of Foreign Exchange rules, regulations and requirements.

5. <u>Nature of the Program</u>.

***MEXICO***

1. <u>Commercial Relationship</u>. The Employee expressly acknowledges that the Employee's participation in the Program and the Company's grant of the Award does not constitute an employment relationship between the Employee and the Company. The Employee has been granted the Award as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee, and the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico is the Employee's sole employer. Based on the foregoing: (a) the Employee expressly acknowledges that the Program and the benefits derived from participation in the Program do not establish any rights between the Employee and the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee; (b) the Program and the benefits derived from participation in the Program are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee; and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Program or benefits granted thereunder by the Company, or a termination of the Program by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Employee's employment with the Subsidiary in Mexico.

As such, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend and/or discontinue the Employee's participation in the Program at any time and without any liability. The value of the Units is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any. The Units are not part of the Employee's regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee.

***NEW ZEALAND***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>.

**Warning**

This is an offer of Units which, upon vesting and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Program and the Agreement, will be converted into Shares. Shares give you a stake in the ownership of Abbott Laboratories. You may receive a return if dividends are paid.

If Abbott Laboratories runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.

Prior to the vesting and settlement of the Units, you will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting rights) with respect to the underlying Shares.

No interest in any Units may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.

The Shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. This means that if you acquire Shares under the Program, you may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.

You also are hereby notified that the documents listed below are available for review on sites at the web addresses listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Abbott Laboratories' most recent Annual Report (Form 10-K): <u>https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=abt&owner=exclude&action=getcompany&Find=Search</u>

2. <u>Exchange Control Obligations</u>. To the extent applicable, the Employee is required to comply with certain consent and reporting requirements to the State Bank of Pakistan (Pakistan's central bank) under the exchange control laws of Pakistan.

***PHILIPPINES***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>. As the offer of Shares under the Program is exempt from the securities registration requirement under Section 10.2 of the Philippine Securities Regulation Code ("SRC"), the Shares have not been registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission under the SRC.

The Employee should be aware of the risks of participating in the Program, including, but not limited to, the risk of fluctuation in the price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange and the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the Employee's local currency. In this regard, the Employee should be aware that the value of any Shares acquired under the Program may decrease after the Shares are issued and fluctuations in currency exchange rates between the Employee's local currency and the U.S. Dollar may affect the value of the any amounts due to the Employee upon vesting and settlement of the Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired under the Program. The Company is not making any representations, projections or assurances regarding the value of the Shares now or in the future.

Further information on risk factors impacting the Company's business that may affect the value of the Shares may be found in the discussion in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and available online at www.sec.gov as well as on the Company's website at www.abbott.com/investors.html.

The Employee understands that the Employee is permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Program through the designated Program broker appointed by the Company (or such other broker to whom the Employee may transfer the Shares), provided that such sale takes place outside of the Philippines through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange, on which the Shares are listed*.*

By accepting the Award, the Employee consents to participation in the Program and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Program.

The Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Units under the Program to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that (i) any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis, other than as set forth in the Agreement; (ii) the Units and the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever; and (iii) the Employee's participation in the Program will cease as of the date of Termination, as detailed below. In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made to the Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Employee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason the Award shall be null and void.

The Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Award, unless otherwise provided in Section 4 of the Agreement, any unvested Units as of the date the Employee ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of Termination by reason of, but not limited to, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with Cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without Cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without Cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers' Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers' Statue, Article 50 of the Workers' Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Subsidiary that employs the Employee and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a Termination on the Units.

2. <u>Termination for Cause</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Program or the Agreement, "Cause" shall be as defined as set forth in the Agreement, regardless of whether the Termination is considered a fair termination (i.e., "despido procedente") under Spanish legislation.

3. <u>Securities Law Notice</u>. No "offer of securities to the public," as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory under the Program. The Program, the Award, the Agreement, this Addendum and all other materials the Employee may receive regarding the Employee's participation in the Program have not been nor will they be registered with the *Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores* (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and they do not constitute a public offering prospectus.

1. <u>Withholding Taxes</u>. The following provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement.

The Employee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Subsidiary in the United Kingdom that employs the Employee (the "Employer") or by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Employee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Employee's behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), he or she would not be eligible to have the Company or the Employer cover any income tax liability on his or her behalf. In this case, any income tax not collected from or paid by the Employee within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax liability occurred (or such other period specified in U.K. law) will constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") will be payable. The Employee will be responsible for paying and reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Employee by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of the Agreement.

2. <u>Exclusion of Claim</u>. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Employee's ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Units, whether or not as a result of Termination (whether the Termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Units. Upon the grant of the Award, the Employee shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts.** Any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed shall be cancelled and forfeited
immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes
Cause, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Effect of Termination*. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any
reason other than Retirement, death, or Disability, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination
shall be forfeited without consideration to the Employee or the Employee's Representative. In the event that the Employee is terminated
by the Company other than for Cause, the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause Restrictions on some or all of the Shares to lapse
on the dates set forth in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed on such dates.

the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 6(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Award and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Award that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Award, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Awards or other Program
Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and
the Employee. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **No Right to Compensation**. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated with the Award is an item
of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed part of the Employee's
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, pension, retirement, or any other employee benefits, or similar
payments under plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's

Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other

strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable

administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [For California residents] In the course of administering the Program,
 the Company collects Employee Data that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of
 being associated with a particular Employee and does not sell or share Employee Data with
 third parties for monetary value or cross contextual behavioral advertising. The Company's

and similar events set forth in the Program.

Subject to the requirements of local law, the Employee shall receive cash payments equal to the dividends and distributions paid on Shares underlying the Units (the "*Dividend Equivalents*") (other than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to its Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization) to the same extent and on the same date (or as soon as practicable thereafter) as if each Unit were a Share; provided, however, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Employee with respect to dividends or distributions the record date for which occurs on or after the date the Employee has forfeited the Units, or the date the Units are settled. For purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the specified date for payment of any Dividend Equivalents to which the Employee is entitled under this Section 2 is the calendar year during the term of this Agreement in which the associated dividends or distributions are paid on Shares underlying the Units. The Employee shall have no right to determine the year in which Dividend Equivalents will be paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Restrictions**. The Units are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 5 and 6 below. The Units are not earned and may
not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the "Restrictions") until the
Units are settled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. Subject to Sections 5 and 6 below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment*. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Restrictions on one-third of the total number of Units will lapse on **«M_1st_yr_vest»**, provided the Company's
prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Restrictions on an additional one-third of the total number of Units will lapse on **«M_2nd_yr_vest»**, provided
the Company's prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Restrictions on an additional one-third of the total number of Units will lapse on **«M_3rd_yr_vest»**, provided
the Company's prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent.

If the Restrictions do not lapse on the respective date set forth in subsection 4(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) above, such Restrictions shall not lapse at a later date.

Units for which Restrictions have lapsed, as described in this subsection 4(a), shall be settled in the form of Shares on the date(s) on which such Restrictions lapse (each, a "Delivery Date"). Unless indicated otherwise, Shares shall be delivered in an equal number (subject to rounding) as of each Delivery Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Retirement*. The Restrictions shall continue to apply in the event of the Employee's Termination due to Retirement, but
may lapse thereafter in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a), in which case any Units not previously settled shall be settled
in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above occurring after the date of such Retirement
as if the Employee had remained employed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Employee's death after his or her Termination
due to Retirement, for any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date, the restrictions shall lapse on the Employee's date
of death and the Units will be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date
of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Death*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Termination due to death, and any Units not previously
settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled (for the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws
of descent or distribution) in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Disability*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Disability, and any Units not previously settled
on a Delivery Date shall be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of
Disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. Any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion
and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes Cause, whether or not the Employee
experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effect of Termination**. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than Retirement, death or Disability,
any Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall be forfeited without consideration to
the Employee or the Employee's Representative. In the event that the Employee is terminated by the Company other than for Cause,
the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all of the Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date to continue to be subject
to the Restrictions, provided such Restrictions may lapse thereafter in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a), in which case
such Units shall be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above occurring after
the date of such Termination. In accepting this Award, the Employee acknowledges that in the event of Termination (whether or not in breach
of local labor laws), except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or determined by the Company, the Employee's right to vest
in the Units, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended
by any notice period mandated under local law (*e.g.*, active employment would not include a period of "garden leave"
or similar period pursuant to local law) and that the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is
no longer actively employed for purposes of this Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 6(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Units back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Units and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Units that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **Nature of Grant**. In accepting this grant of Units, the Employee acknowledges that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Program is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or
terminated by the Company at any time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Units, benefits in
lieu of Units, or other Program Benefits in the future, even if Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All decisions with respect to future Unit grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be made by the Committee, in its sole
discretion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and the
Employee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Employee is voluntarily participating in the Program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Units and Shares subject to the Units are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its Subsidiaries,
and are outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) not part of the Employee's normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating
any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement
or welfare benefits, or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services
for the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The future value of the Shares underlying the Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the Units resulting from (i) Termination
(for any reason whatsoever) and/or (ii) the application of Sections 5 and/or 6 above and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company
and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen,
then, by signing or electronically accepting this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Employee's
entitlement to pursue such claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Units and the Benefits under the Program, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger,
take-over or transfer of liability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the Units, the amount realized upon settlement
of the Units or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, resulting from any fluctuation
of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon request of the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable), the Employee agrees to provide an executed
data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required), as deemed necessary by the Company or the Subsidiary
that employs the Employee (if applicable) for the purpose of administering the Employee's participation in the Program in compliance
with the data privacy laws in the Employee's country, either now or in the future. If the Employee fails to provide any such consent
or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) and the Committee or its delegate
determines that the collection, processing and/or transfer of Data without such consent or agreement would violate the laws in the Employee's
country, the Employee understands and agrees that the Employee will not be able to participate in the Program and the Award will be null
and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Form of Payment**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of a cash payment
to the extent settlement in Shares: (i) is prohibited under local law; (ii) would require the Employee, the Company and/or its
Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Employee's country; (iii) would result
in adverse tax consequences for the Employee or the Company; or (iv) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company may,
in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of Shares but require the Employee to sell such Shares immediately
or within a specified period of time following the Employee's Termination (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company
the authority to issue sales instructions on the Employee's behalf).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Private Placement**. The grant of this Unit is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Employee's country.
The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise
required under local law), and this grant of Units is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Exchange Controls**. As a condition to this grant of Units, the Employee agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange
rules and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with
the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Shares are listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee's participation in the Program and legally applicable to the
Employee or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if technically due by the Company
or its Subsidiaries ()"*Tax-Related Items* "), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related
Items is and remains the Employee's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries.
The Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding
the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, lapse of
Restrictions or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon payment of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant
to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation
to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee's liability for Tax-Related Items
or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one (1) jurisdiction between
the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be
required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one (1) jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Code Section 409A**. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with
the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted
in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A
and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and
without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from
Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Employee shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Employee has incurred a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Employee's Termination (including Retirement) shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Employee's Termination (or upon the Employee's death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable: (i) all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (ii) the term "as soon as administratively possible" means a period of time that is within 60 days after the Termination due to death or Disability (as applicable); and (iii) the date of the Employee's Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Units, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **Imposition of Other Requirements**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee's participation
in the Program, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Program, to the extent the Company or its Subsidiaries determines it
is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program, and to require the Employee
to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Employee agrees to take any and
all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and
its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Employee's country. In addition, the Employee agrees
to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Employee's personal obligations under local laws, rules and
regulations in the Employee's country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Electronic Delivery**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future
participation in the Program by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees
to participate in the Program through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated
by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Addendum**. This grant of Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement
for the Employee's country. Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms
and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and
conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program (or the Company
may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's relocation). The Addendum
constitutes part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding
the Award and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the
Award. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified,
or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by
a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. **Language**. If the Employee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Program translated into a language
other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. **Venue**. For any legal action relating to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the federal courts of the Northern District of Illinois, USA, and, if there is no jurisdiction in federal court, to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of the state courts in Lake County, Illinois, USA.

All defined terms contained in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Program. If the Employee is employed in a country identified in the Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply.

***EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM***

<u>Data Privacy</u>. The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety:

Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, Abbott and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (the "Employer") hereby notifies the Employee of the following in relation to the Employee's Personal Data (defined below) and the collection, processing and transfer in electronic or other form of such Personal Data in relation to the administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program. The collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's Personal Data is necessary for the legitimate purpose of Abbott and the Employer's administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Employee's denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of Personal Data may affect the Employee's participation in the Program. As such, by accepting the Units, the Employee acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of Personal Data as described herein.

Abbott and the Employer hold certain personally identifiable information about the Employee, specifically, the Employee's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in Abbott, details of all Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee's favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Program ("Personal Data"). The Personal Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties. Abbott or the Employer each act as controllers of the Personal Data and will process the Personal Data in this context for the exclusive legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program and meeting related legal obligations associated with these actions.

The processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures correlated to the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations. Personal Data will be accessible within Abbott's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and other aspects of the employment relationship and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

Abbott and the Employer will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and Abbott and the Employer may each further transfer Personal Data to third parties assisting Abbott or the Employer in the implementation, administration and management of the Program, including UBS Financial Services Inc. or any successor or other third party that Abbott, the Employer or UBS Financial Services Inc. (or its successor) may engage to assist with the administration of the Program from time to time. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. By participating in the Program, the Employee understands that these recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Personal Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program. The Employee further understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Employee's Personal Data by contacting the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources Department. When transferring Personal Data to these potential recipients, Abbott and the Employer provide appropriate safeguards in accordance with EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally binding and permissible arrangements. The Employee may request a copy of such safeguards from the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

To the extent provided by law, the Employee may, at any time, have the right to request: access to Personal Data, rectification of Personal Data, erasure of Personal Data, restriction of processing of Personal Data, and portability of Personal Data. The Employee may also have the right to object, on grounds related to a particular situation, to the processing of Personal Data, as well as opt-out of the Program herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee's human resources manager. The Employee's provision of Personal Data is a contractual requirement. The Employee understands, however, that the only consequence of refusing to provide Personal Data is that Abbott and the Employer may not be able to let the Employee participate in the Program, or grant other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. For more information on the consequences of the Employee's refusal to provide Personal Data, the Employee understands that the Employee may contact his or her local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

When Abbott and the Employer no longer need to use Personal Data for the purposes above or do not need to retain it for compliance with any legal or regulatory purpose, each will take reasonable steps to remove Personal Data from their systems and/or records containing the Personal Data and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that the Employee can no longer be identified from it.

The Employee further authorizes the Company and any of its Subsidiaries to disclose and discuss the Program with their advisors. The Employee further authorizes the Company and any of its Subsidiaries to record such information and to keep such information in the Employee's employee file. The Employee acknowledges that the Company and other parties involved in the administration of the Program may use technology to collect and use information to assess certain characteristics, for example, for the purpose of evaluating the Employee's work performance, which may have an impact on the Employee or the administration of the Program.

***CHINA***

*The following provisions shall apply to individuals who are subject to the People's Republic of China ("China") exchange control requirements, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:*

1. <u>Treatment of Units upon Retirement</u>. Provided that the Employee is not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, if the Employee experiences a Termination due to Retirement, Restrictions on the Units shall lapse on the date of the Termination, and any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of Termination.

2. <u>Foreign Exchange Control Laws</u>. The Employee agrees to hold the Shares received upon settlement of the Units and any and all previously granted restricted stock units with the Company's designated broker. If the Company changes its designated broker, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may transfer any Shares issued under the Program to the new designated broker if necessary for legal or administrative reasons. The Employee agrees to sign any documentation necessary to facilitate the transfer. Upon a Termination, the Employee shall be required to sell all Shares issued pursuant to the Units within 90 days (or such shorter period as may be required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange) of the Termination date and repatriate the sales proceeds to China in the manner designated by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, the Company shall establish procedures for effectuating the forced sale of the Shares (including procedures whereby the Company may issue sell instructions on behalf of the Employee), and the Employee hereby agrees to comply with such procedures and take any and all actions as the Company determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable for purposes of complying with local laws, rules and regulations in China.

The Employee understands and agrees that the repatriation of dividends and sales proceeds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that sales proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Program may be transferred to such account by the Company on the Employee's behalf prior to being delivered to the Employee. The sales proceeds may be paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company's discretion. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars, the Employee understands that the Employee will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in local currency, the Employee acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the dividends and proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. The Employee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold and the net proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to the Employee. The Employee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in China in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. The Employee agrees to be subject to these restrictions even after Termination.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any costs, fees, lost interest or dividends or other losses the Employee may incur or suffer resulting from the enforcement of the terms of this Addendum or otherwise from the Company's operation and enforcement of the Program, the Agreement and the Units in accordance with Chinese law including, without limitation, any applicable State Administration of Foreign Exchange rules, regulations and requirements.

1. <u>Commercial Relationship</u>. The Employee expressly acknowledges that the Employee's participation in the Program and the Company's grant of the Award does not constitute an employment relationship between the Employee and the Company.

As such, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend and/or discontinue the Employee's participation in the Program at any time and without any liability. The value of the Units is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any. The Units are not part of the Employee's regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee.

***NEW ZEALAND***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>.

**Warning**

This is an offer of Units which, upon vesting and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Program and the Agreement, will be converted into Shares. Shares give you a stake in the ownership of Abbott Laboratories. You may receive a return if dividends are paid.

If Abbott Laboratories runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.

Prior to the vesting and settlement of the Units, you will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting rights) with respect to the underlying Shares.

No interest in any Units may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.

The Shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. This means that if you acquire Shares under the Program, you may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.

You also are hereby notified that the documents listed below are available for review on sites at the web addresses listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Abbott Laboratories' most recent Annual Report (Form 10-K): <u>https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=abt&owner=exclude&action=getcompany&Find=Search</u>

The Employee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Units under the Program to individuals who may be employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that (i) any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on an ongoing basis, other than as set forth in the Agreement; (ii) the Units and the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever; and (iii) the Employee's participation in the Program will cease as of the date of Termination, as detailed below. In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made to the Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Employee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason the Award shall be null and void.

The Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Award, unless otherwise provided in Section 4 of the Agreement, any unvested Units as of the date the Employee ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of Termination by reason of, but not limited to, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with Cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without Cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without Cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers' Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers' Statue, Article 50 of the Workers' Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Subsidiary that employs the Employee and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a Termination on the Units.

2. <u>Termination for Cause</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Program or the Agreement, "Cause" shall be as defined as set forth in the Agreement, regardless of whether the Termination is considered a fair termination (i.e., "despido procedente") under Spanish legislation.

3. <u>Securities Law Notice</u>. No "offer of securities to the public," as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory under the Program. The Program, the Award, the Agreement, this Addendum and all other materials the Employee may receive regarding the Employee's participation in the Program have not been nor will they be registered with the *Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores* (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and they do not constitute a public offering prospectus.

***SWITZERLAND***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>. Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Units (i) constitutes a prospectus according to articles 35 et seq. of the Swiss Federal Act on Financial Services ("FinSA"), (ii) may be publicly distributed nor otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland to any person other than an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary or (iii) has been filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss reviewing body according to article 51 FinSA or any Swiss regulatory authority, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).

***UNITED KINGDOM***

1. <u>Withholding Taxes</u>. The following provision supplements Section 7 of the Agreement.

The Employee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Subsidiary in the United Kingdom that employs the Employee (the "Employer") or by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Employee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Employee's behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), he or she would not be eligible to have the Company or the Employer cover any income tax liability on his or her behalf. In this case, any income tax not collected from or paid by the Employee within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax liability occurred (or such other period specified in U.K. law) will constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") will be payable. The Employee will be responsible for paying and reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Employee by any of the means referred to in Section 7 of the Agreement.

2. <u>Exclusion of Claim</u>. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Employee's ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Units, whether or not as a result of Termination (whether the Termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Units. Upon the grant of the Award, the Employee shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.

the Shares (and any securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to the Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination,
stock dividend or recapitalization, which securities shall be deemed to be "Shares" hereunder) including the right to vote
and to receive all cash dividends or other cash distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares regardless of whether the Restrictions
described below are in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Restrictions**. The Shares are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 5 and 6 below. The Shares are not earned and
may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the "Restrictions") until
an event or combination of events described in subsections 4(a), (b), (c) or (d) occurs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment*. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Restrictions on one-third of the
Shares will lapse on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Grant Date until, on the third anniversary of the Grant Date,
100% of the Shares are no longer subject to the Restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Retirement*. If the Employee's Termination occurs due to Retirement, then any Restrictions remaining after the date of
such Retirement shall continue to lapse on the anniversaries of the Grant Date as set forth in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee
had remained employed on such dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Employee's death after his or her Termination
due to Retirement, the restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Death*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Termination due to death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Disability*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date the Employee incurs 12 consecutive months of Disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. Any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed shall be cancelled and forfeited
immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes
Cause, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Effect of Termination*. In the event of the Employee's Termination
 for any reason other than Retirement, death, or Disability, any Shares with respect to which
 Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall be forfeited without consideration
 to the Employee or the Employee's Representative. In the event that the Employee is
 terminated by the Company other than for Cause, the Company may, in its sole discretion,
 cause Restrictions on some or all of the Shares to lapse on the dates set forth in subsection
 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed on such dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Recoupment*. Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 6(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Award back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Award and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Award that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Award, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Awards or other Program
Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and
the Employee. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **No Right to Compensation**. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated with the Award is an item
of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed part of the Employee's
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, pension, retirement, or any other employee benefits, or similar
payments under plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [For California residents] In the course of administering the Program, the Company collects Employee Data that identifies, relates
to, describes or is capable of being associated with a particular Employee and does not sell or share Employee Data with third parties
for monetary value or cross contextual behavioral advertising. The Company's Privacy Notice to California Employees can be found
at: <u>California_Employee_Use_of_Personal_Information.pdf</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Award, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding
the Award and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the
Award. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified,
or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by
a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant
to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements
or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's
Shares are listed. Furthermore, if the Employee relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternative terms and
conditions as necessary or advisable to comply with local law, facilitate the administration of the Program, and/or accommodate the Employee's
relocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Code Section 409A**. The Award is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Program and
this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that the Award
is subject to Code Section 409A and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the
Company's sole discretion, and without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A
or otherwise be exempt from Code Section 409A.

Although this Agreement and the Benefits provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the Benefits provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Award that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Award, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Awards or other Program
Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and
the Employee. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **No Right to Compensation**. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated with the Award is an item
of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed part of the Employee's
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, pension, retirement, or any other employee benefits, or similar
payments under plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [For California residents] In the course of administering the Program, the Company collects Employee Data that identifies, relates
to, describes or is capable of being associated with a particular Employee and does not sell or share Employee Data with third parties
for monetary value or cross contextual behavioral advertising. The Company's Privacy Notice to California Employees can be found
at: <u>California_Employee_Use_of_Personal_Information.pdf.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Award, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding
the Award and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the
Award. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified,
or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by
a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant
to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements
or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's
Shares are listed. Furthermore, if the Employee relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternative terms and
conditions as necessary or advisable to comply with local law, facilitate the administration of the Program, and/or accommodate the Employee's
relocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Code Section 409A**. The Award is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Program and
this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that the Award
is subject to Code Section 409A and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the
Company's sole discretion, and without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A
or otherwise be exempt from Code Section 409A.

Although this Agreement and the Benefits provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the Benefits provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law.

Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) General Rule - Exercise by Employee Only. During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option may be exercised only by the Employee
or the Employee's Representative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Death Exception. If the Employee dies, then the Option may be exercised only by the executor or administrator of the estate of the
Employee or the person or persons to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution. Such person(s) shall
furnish the appropriate tax clearances, proof of the right of such person(s) to exercise the Option, and other pertinent data as
the Company may deem necessary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Transferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee or its delegate, the Option is not transferable other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution. It may not be assigned, transferred (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution),
pledged or hypothecated in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar
process. Any attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof,
and the levy of any attachment or similar process upon such Option, shall be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Method of Exercise*. The Option may be exercised only by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) delivery to the designated employee or agent of the Company of a written, electronic, or telephonic notice of exercise, specifying
the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is then being exercised, and payment of the full Exercise Price of the Shares being
purchased in cash or with other Shares held by the Employee having a then Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) delivery of a properly-executed exercise notice together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to
the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Exercise Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) a combination of (i) and (ii) above; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) any other manner approved by the Committee from time to time.

Each method of exercise requires payment of the full amount of any federal, state, local or other applicable taxes which the Company believes are required to be withheld and paid with respect to such exercise, as described below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Payment of Taxes*. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local, and
other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising in
connection with the receipt or exercise of the Option by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) tendering Shares received in connection with the Option back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Option and having the Company withhold from the proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Option, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Effect of Termination or Death on the Option**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Termination due to Retirement*. Subject to Sections 6 and 7 below, in the event of Termination due to Retirement, then (regardless
of any subsequent death of the Employee) the Option will continue to vest pursuant to Section 3, and the last date on which the Option
may be exercised is the day prior to the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Termination due to Disability*. Subject to Sections 6 and 7 below, in the event of Termination due to Disability, then (regardless
of any subsequent death of the Employee) the Option will continue to vest pursuant to Section 3, and the last date on which the Option
may be exercised is the day prior to the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Termination due to Death of the Employee*. In the event of the death of the Employee during employment, the Option will continue

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Termination for Reason Other than Retirement, Disability or Death*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Options Granted Within Nine (9) Months of Termination. Any Option granted less than nine (9) months prior to a Termination

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Options Granted Nine (9) Months or More Prior to Termination. Subject to Sections 6 and 7 below, an Option granted nine (9) months
or more prior to a Termination for any reason other than Retirement, Disability or death, will continue to vest and shall be exercisable
to the extent permitted by Section 3 for a three-month period after the Employee's effective date of Termination, but in no
event shall such Option be exercised on or after the Expiration Date. In the event of the death of the Employee during the three-month
period after the Employee's effective date of Termination, the Option shall continue to vest and be exercisable for a three-month
period measured from the date of death, but in no event shall such Option be exercised on or after the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts.** The Option shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion
of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) commits a material breach of the terms and conditions of the Employee's employment, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) material breach by the Employee of the Code of Business Conduct;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) material breach by the Employee of the Employee's Employee Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) commission by the Employee of an act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with the Employee's duties or in the course
of the Employee's employment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) wrongful disclosure by the Employee of secret processes or confidential information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) failure by the Employee to substantially perform the duties of the Employee's employment (other than any such failure resulting
from the Employee's Disability); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, engagement by the Employee, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Employee or
others, in any activity, employment or business which is competitive with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 7
will be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Contract as of Right**. The grant of an Option under the Program does not create any contractual or other right to receive
additional Options or other Program Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual
obligations between the Company and the Employee. Future Option grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion
of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **No Right to Compensation**. Neither this Option, Shares issued upon its exercise, any excess of market value over Exercise Price,
nor any other rights, benefits, values or interest resulting from the granting of the Option shall be considered as compensation for purposes
of any pension or retirement plan, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, or any other employee benefit plan of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated with the Option is an item of compensation
outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed part of the Employee's normal or
expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service
awards, pension or retirement benefits, or similar payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [For California residents] In the course of administering the Program,
 the Company collects Employee Data that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of
 being associated with a particular Employee and does not sell or share Employee Data with
 third parties for monetary value or cross contextual behavioral advertising. The Company's
 Privacy Notice to California Employees can be found at: <u>California_Employee_Use_of_Personal_Information.pdf</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Option, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying
Shares. The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding
the Option and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the
Option. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified,
or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by
a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant
to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements
or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's
Shares are listed. Furthermore, if the Employee relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternative terms and
conditions as necessary or advisable to comply with local law, facilitate the administration of the Program and/or accommodate the Employee's
relocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Code Section 409A**. The Option is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Program and
this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that the Option
is subject to Code Section 409A and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the
Company's sole discretion, and without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A
or otherwise be exempt from Code Section 409A.

Although this Agreement and the Benefits provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the Benefits provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Venue.** For any legal action relating to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the federal courts of the Northern District of Illinois, USA, and, if there is no jurisdiction in federal court, to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of the state courts in Lake County, Illinois, USA.

shall be effective on the last day the Employee performs services for or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiary, and employment shall
not be extended by any statutory or common law notice of termination period.

2. **Term of Option**. Subject to Sections 5, 6 and 7, the Employee may exercise all or a portion of the vested Option at any time
prior to the 10<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Grant Date (the "Expiration Date"); provided that the Option may be exercised
with respect to whole Shares only. In no event shall the Option be exercisable on or after the Expiration Date. To the extent the Option
is not exercised prior to the Expiration Date (or any earlier expiration of the Option pursuant to Sections 5, 6 and 7), it shall be canceled
and forfeited.

3. **Vesting**. Subject to Sections 6 and 7, the Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, one-third of the total number of Shares may be purchased;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, two-thirds of the total number of Shares may be purchased; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the Option may be exercised in full.

The Option is not earned and the Employee has no right to purchase the underlying Shares until an event described above occurs. The vesting described above is cumulative, so that at each vesting date an additional amount of Shares is available for purchase and remains available until the Option's Expiration Date or such earlier date determined pursuant to Section 5, 6 or 7 below.

4. **Exercise of the Option**. To the extent vested, the Option may be exercised in whole or in part as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Who May Hold/Exercise the Option*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) General Rule - Exercise by Employee Only. During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option may be exercised only by the Employee
or the Employee's Representative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Death Exception. If the Employee dies, then the Option may be exercised only by the executor or administrator of the estate of the
Employee or the person or persons to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution. Such person(s) shall
furnish the appropriate tax clearances, proof of the right of such person(s) to exercise the Option, and other pertinent data as
the Company may deem necessary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Transferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee or its delegate, the Option is not transferable other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution. It may not be assigned, transferred (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution),
pledged or hypothecated in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar
process. Any attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof,
and the levy of any attachment or similar process upon such Option, shall be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Method of Exercise*. Subject to the requirements of local law, the Option may be exercised only by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) delivery to the designated employee or agent of the Company of a written, electronic, or telephonic notice of exercise, specifying
the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is then being exercised, and payment of the full Exercise Price of the Shares being
purchased in cash or with other Shares held by the Employee having a then Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) delivery of a properly-executed exercise notice together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to
the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Exercise Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) a combination of (i) and (ii) above; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) any other manner approved by the Committee from time to time.

Each method of exercise requires payment of the full amount of any federal, state, local or other applicable taxes which the Company believes are required to be withheld and paid with respect to such exercise, as described below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Payment of Taxes*. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local, and
other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising in
connection with the receipt or exercise of the Option by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) tendering Shares received in connection with the Option back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Option and having the Company withhold from the proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Option.

5. **Effect of Termination or Death on the Option**. By accepting this Option grant, the Employee acknowledges that, except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, in the event of Termination (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee's right to
vest in the Option under the Program, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed
and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (*e.g.*, active employment would not include a period of "garden
leave" or similar period pursuant to local law) and that the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the
Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Option grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Termination due to Retirement*. Subject to Sections 6 and 7 below, in the event of Termination due to Retirement, then (regardless
of any subsequent death of the Employee) the Option will continue to vest pursuant to Section 3, and the last date on which the Option
may be exercised is the day prior to the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Termination due to Disability*. Subject to Sections 6 and 7 below, in the event of Termination due to Disability, then (regardless
of any subsequent death of the Employee) the Option will continue to vest pursuant to Section 3, and the last date on which the Option
may be exercised is the day prior to the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Termination due to Death of the Employee*. In the event of the death of the Employee during employment, the Option will continue
to vest pursuant to Section 3, and the last date on which the Option may be exercised is the day prior to the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Termination for Reason Other than Retirement, Disability or Death*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Options Granted Within Nine (9) Months of Termination. Any Option granted less than nine (9) months prior to a Termination
other than for Retirement, Disability or death shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately upon such Termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Options Granted Nine (9) Months or More Prior to Termination. Subject to Sections 6 and 7 below, an Option granted nine (9) months
or more prior to a Termination for any reason other than Retirement, Disability or death, will continue to vest and shall be exercisable
to the extent permitted by Section 3 for a three-month period after the Employee's effective date of Termination, but in no
event shall such Option be exercised on or after the Expiration Date. In the event of the death of the Employee during the three-month
period after the Employee's effective date of Termination, the Option shall continue to vest and be exercisable for a three-month
period measured from the date of death, but in no event shall such Option be exercised on or after the Expiration Date.

6. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. The Option shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion
of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) commits a material breach of the terms and conditions of the Employee's employment, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) material breach by the Employee of the Code of Business Conduct;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) material breach by the Employee of the Employee's employment contract, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) commission by the Employee of an act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with the Employee's duties or in the course
of the Employee's employment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) wrongful disclosure by the Employee of secret processes or confidential information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) failure by the Employee to substantially perform the duties of the Employee's employment (other than any such failure resulting
from the Employee's Disability); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, engagement by the Employee, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Employee or
others, in any activity, employment or business which is competitive with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

7. **Recoupment**. Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 7
will be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

8. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

9. **Nature of Grant**. In accepting this Option grant, the Employee acknowledges that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Program is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified,
amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Option award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, benefits
in lieu of Options, or other Program benefits in the future, even if Options have been granted repeatedly in the past;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All decisions with respect to future Option grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be made by the Committee, in its
sole discretion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and the
Employee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Employee is voluntarily participating in the Program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Option and Shares subject to the Option are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its Subsidiaries,
and are outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) not part of the Employee's normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating
any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement
or welfare benefits, or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services
for the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The future value of the Shares underlying the Option is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In consideration of this Option award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the Option resulting from
(i) Termination (for any reason whatsoever) and/or (ii) the application of Sections 6 and/or 7 above and the Employee irrevocably
releases the Company and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction
to have arisen, then, by signing or electronically accepting this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the
Employee's entitlement to pursue such claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Option and the Benefits under the Program, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger,
take-over or transfer of liability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the Option, the amount realized upon exercise
of the Option or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, resulting from any fluctuation
of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate.

10. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon request of the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable), the Employee
agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required), as deemed necessary
by the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) for the purpose of administering the Employee's participation
in the Program in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Employee's country, either now or in the future. If the Employee
fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable)
and the Committee or its delegate determines that the collection, processing and/or transfer of Data without such consent or agreement
would violate the laws in the Employee's country, the Employee understands and agrees that the Employee will not be able to participate
in the Program and the Option will be null and void.

11. **Private Placement**. This Option grant is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Employee's country.
The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise
required under local law), and this Option grant is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

12. **Exchange Controls**. As a condition to this Option grant, the Employee agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange
rules and regulations.

13. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with
the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Shares are listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee's participation in the Program and legally applicable to the
Employee or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if technically due by the Company
or its Subsidiaries ("Tax-Related Items"), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items
is and remains the Employee's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The
Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise
of the Option, the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and
the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect
of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Employee's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further,
if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one (1) jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant
taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related
Items in more than one (1) jurisdiction.

14. **Code Section 409A**. The Option is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Program and
this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that the Option
is subject to Code Section 409A and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the
Company's sole discretion, and without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A
or otherwise be exempt from Code Section 409A.

Although this Agreement and the Benefits provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the Benefits provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

15. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Option, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying
Shares. The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

16. **Imposition of Other Requirements**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee's participation
in the Program, on the Option and on any Shares acquired under the Program, to the extent the Company or its Subsidiaries determines it
is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program, and to require the Employee
to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Employee agrees to take any and
all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and
its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Employee's country. In addition, the Employee agrees
to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Employee's personal obligations under local laws, rules and
regulations in the Employee's country.

17. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

18. **Electronic Delivery**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future
participation in the Program by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees
to participate in the Program through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated
by the Company.

19. **Addendum**. This Option grant shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement
for the Employee's country. Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms
and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and
conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program (or the Company
may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's relocation). The Addendum
constitutes part of this Agreement.

20. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

21. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding
the Option and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the
Option. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified,
or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by
a duly authorized Company officer.

22. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

23. **Language**. If the Employee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Program translated into a language
other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

24. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

25. **Venue**. For any legal action relating to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the federal courts of the Northern District of Illinois, USA, and, if there is no jurisdiction in federal court, to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of the state courts in Lake County, Illinois, USA.

**Addendum to the Abbott Laboratories<br> Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement**

In addition to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Option is subject to the following terms and conditions. All defined terms contained in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Program. If the Employee is employed in a country identified in the Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply. If the Employee transfers residence and/or employment to or otherwise becomes subject to the local laws, rules, and/or regulations in a country identified in the Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable to comply with local law or to facilitate administration of the Program (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's transfer).

***EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM***

<u>Data Privacy</u>. The following provision replaces Section 10 of the Agreement in its entirety:

Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, Abbott and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (the "Employer") hereby notifies the Employee of the following in relation to the Employee's Personal Data (defined below) and the collection, processing and transfer in electronic or other form of such Personal Data in relation to the administration of the Option and the Employee's participation in the Program. The collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's Personal Data is necessary for the legitimate purpose of Abbott and the Employer's administration of the Option and the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Employee's denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of Personal Data may affect the Employee's participation in the Program. As such, by accepting the Option, the Employee acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of Personal Data as described herein.

Abbott and the Employer hold certain personally identifiable information about the Employee, specifically, the Employee's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in Abbott, details of all Options or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee's favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Program ("Personal Data"). The Personal Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties. Abbott or the Employer each act as controllers of the Personal Data and will process the Personal Data in this context for the exclusive legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program and meeting related legal obligations associated with these actions.

The processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures correlated to the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations. Personal Data will be accessible within Abbott's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and other aspects of the employment relationship and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

Abbott and the Employer will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and Abbott and the Employer may each further transfer Personal Data to third parties assisting Abbott or the Employer in the implementation, administration and management of the Program, including UBS Financial Services Inc. or any successor or other third party that Abbott, the Employer or UBS Financial Services Inc. (or its successor) may engage to assist with the administration of the Program from time to time. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. By participating in the Program, the Employee understands that these recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Personal Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program. The Employee further understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Employee's Personal Data by contacting the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources Department. When transferring Personal Data to these potential recipients, Abbott and the Employer provide appropriate safeguards in accordance with EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally binding and permissible arrangements. The Employee may request a copy of such safeguards from the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

To the extent provided by law, the Employee may, at any time, have the right to request: access to Personal Data, rectification of Personal Data, erasure of Personal Data, restriction of processing of Personal Data, and portability of Personal Data. The Employee may also have the right to object, on grounds related to a particular situation, to the processing of Personal Data, as well as opt-out of the Program herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee's human resources manager. The Employee's provision of Personal Data is a contractual requirement. The Employee understands, however, that the only consequence of refusing to provide Personal Data is that Abbott and the Employer may not be able to let the Employee participate in the Program, or grant other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. For more information on the consequences of the Employee's refusal to provide Personal Data, the Employee understands that the Employee may contact his or her local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

When Abbott and the Employer no longer need to use Personal Data for the purposes above or do not need to retain it for compliance with any legal or regulatory purpose, each will take reasonable steps to remove Personal Data from their systems and/or records containing the Personal Data and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that the Employee can no longer be identified from it.

If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars, the Employee understands that the Employee will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in local currency, the Employee acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the dividends and proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions.

***NEW ZEALAND***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>.

**Warning**

This is an offer of an Option which, upon exercise and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Program and the Agreement, will be converted into Shares. Shares give you a stake in the ownership of Abbott Laboratories. You may receive a return if dividends are paid.

If Abbott Laboratories runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.

Prior to the exercise and settlement of the Option, you will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting or dividend rights) with respect to the underlying Shares.

No interest in any Option may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.

The Shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. This means that if you acquire Shares under the Program, you may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.

You also are hereby notified that the documents listed below are available for review on sites at the web addresses listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Abbott Laboratories' most recent Annual Report (Form 10-K): https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=abt&owner=exclude&action=getcompany&Find=Search

The Employee should be aware of the risks of participating in the Program, including, but not limited to, the risk of fluctuation in the price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange and the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the Employee's local currency. In this regard, the Employee should be aware that the value of any Shares acquired under the Program may decrease after the Shares are issued and fluctuations in currency exchange rates between the Employee's local currency and the U.S. Dollar may affect the value of the any amounts due to the Employee upon exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired under the Program.

In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made to the Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Employee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, the Option grant shall be null and void.

The Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Option grant, unless otherwise provided in Section 5 of the Agreement, any unvested Option as of the date the Employee ceases active employment, and any vested portion of the Option not exercised within the post-termination exercise period set out in the Agreement, will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of Termination by reason of, but not limited to, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers' Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers' Statue, Article 50 of the Workers' Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Subsidiary that employs the Employee and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a Termination on the Option.

1. <u>Payment of Taxes</u>. The following provision supplements Section 4(c) of the Agreement.

The Employee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Employee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Employee's behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), he or she would not be eligible to have the Company or the Employer cover any income tax liability on his or her behalf. In this case, any income tax not collected from or paid by the Employee within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax liability occurred (or such other period specified in U.K. law) will constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") will be payable. The Employee will be responsible for paying and reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Employee by any of the means referred to in Section 4(c) of the Agreement.

2. <u>Exclusion of Claim</u>. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Employee's ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to exercise the Option, whether or not as a result of Termination (whether the Termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Option. Upon the grant of the Option, the Employee shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.

to, those plans and policies providing pension, life insurance, medical, health and accident, disability, vacation, Employee automobile,
Employee tax or financial advice benefits or club dues;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) the relocation of the Company's principal Employee offices to a location more than 35 miles from the location of such offices

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Delivery Date and Shareholder Rights**. The Delivery Date for Shares underlying the Units is the date on which the Shares are
payable to the Employee pursuant to Section 4 below. Prior to the Delivery Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Employee shall not be treated as a shareholder as to those Shares underlying the Units, and shall have only a contractual right
to receive Shares, unsecured by any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Employee shall not be permitted to vote the Shares underlying the Units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Employee's right to receive such Shares will be subject to the adjustment provisions relating to mergers, reorganizations,
and similar events set forth in the Program.

The Employee shall receive cash payments equal to the dividends and distributions paid on Shares underlying the Units (the "Dividend Equivalents") (other than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to its Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization) to the same extent and on the same date (or as soon as practicable thereafter) as if each Unit were a Share; provided, however, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Employee with respect to dividends or distributions the record date for which occurs on or after the date the Employee has forfeited the Units, or the date the Units are settled. For purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the specified date for payment of any Dividend Equivalents to which the Employee is entitled under this Section 2 is the calendar year during the term of this Agreement in which the associated dividends or distributions are paid on Shares underlying the Units. The Employee shall have no right to determine the year in which Dividend Equivalents will be paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Restrictions**. The Units are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 6 and 7 below. The Units are not earned and may
not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the "Restrictions") until the
Units are settled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. Subject to Sections 5, 6 and 7 below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment.* While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Restrictions on 100% of the Units
will lapse on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the "Delivery Date"). Units for which Restrictions have lapsed shall
be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Death*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Termination due to death, and the Units shall be settled
(for the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution) in the form of Shares
as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Disability*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Disability, and the Units shall be settled in
the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of Disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Change in Control**. In the event of a Change in Control, the entity surviving such Change in Control or the ultimate parent
thereof (referred to herein as the "Surviving Entity") may assume, convert or replace this Award with an award of at least
equal value (determined using the same value for purchasing Company shares as used for purchasing Company shares not subject to this Agreement
on the date of the Change in Control) with terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement,
in which case the new award will vest according to the terms of the applicable award agreement. If the Surviving Entity does not assume,
convert or replace this Award, the Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Change in Control. If the Surviving Entity does assume,
convert or replace this Award, then in the event the Employee's Termination (i) occurs within the time period beginning six
(6) months immediately before a Change in Control and ending two (2) years immediately following such Change in Control, and
(ii) was initiated by the Company (or the Surviving Entity) for a reason other than Change in Control Cause or was initiated by the
Employee for Change in Control Good Reason, the Restrictions shall lapse on the later of the date of the Change in Control and the date
of the Employee's Termination. The provisions of this Section 5 shall supersede Section 13(a)(iv) of the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. If Section 5 does not apply, any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited
immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes
Cause, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary. If Section 5 does
apply, any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Board,
the Employee engages in an activity that constitutes Change in Control Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effect of Termination**. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than those set forth in subsection
4(b), (c) or Section 5, any Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall be
forfeited without consideration to the Employee or the Employee's Representative. If the Company terminates the Employee other than
for Cause and such termination is not covered by Section 5, the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause Restrictions on some or
all of the Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date to lapse and be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date set forth
in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed on such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 7(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Units back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Units and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Units that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Awards or other Program
Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and
the Employee. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **No Right to Compensation**. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated with the Award is an item
of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed part of the Employee's
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, pension, retirement, or any other employee benefits, or similar
payments under plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [For California residents] In the course of administering the Program,
 the Company collects Employee Data that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of
 being associated with a particular Employee and does not sell or share Employee Data with
 third parties for monetary value or cross contextual behavioral advertising. The Company's

in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement, the Program, the Program prospectus, the Program administrative rules, and any applicable
Company policies constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding the Award and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the Award. Except as expressly set forth
herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified, or interpreted by the parties, except

to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements
or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's
Shares are listed. Furthermore, if the Employee relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternative terms and

the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted
in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A

without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from
Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Employee shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Employee has incurred a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Employee's Termination (including retirement) shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Employee's Termination (or upon the Employee's death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable: (i) all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 13(a) of the Program, upon the lapse of Restrictions pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of the Change in Control or the date of the Employee's Termination (as applicable); (iii) the term "as soon as administratively possible" means a period of time that is within 60 days after the Termination, Disability or Change in Control (as applicable); and (iv) the date of the Employee's Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Delivery Date and Shareholder Rights**. The Delivery Date for Shares underlying the Units is the date on which the Shares are
payable to the Employee pursuant to Section 4 below. Prior to the Delivery Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Employee shall not be treated as a shareholder as to those Shares underlying the Units, and shall have only a contractual right
to receive Shares, unsecured by any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Employee shall not be permitted to vote the Shares underlying the Units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Employee's right to receive such Shares will be subject to the adjustment provisions relating to mergers, reorganizations,
and similar events set forth in the Program.

Subject to the requirements of local law, the Employee shall receive cash payments equal to the dividends and distributions paid on Shares underlying the Units (the "Dividend Equivalents") (other than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to its Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization) to the same extent and on the same date (or as soon as practicable thereafter) as if each Unit were a Share; provided, however, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Employee with respect to dividends or distributions the record date for which occurs on or after the date the Employee has forfeited the Units, or the date the Units are settled. For purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the specified date for payment of any Dividend Equivalents to which the Employee is entitled under this Section 2 is the calendar year during the term of this Agreement in which the associated dividends or distributions are paid on Shares underlying the Units. The Employee shall have no right to determine the year in which Dividend Equivalents will be paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Restrictions**. The Units are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 6 and 7 below. The Units are not earned and may
not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the "Restrictions") until the
Units are settled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. Subject to Sections 5, 6 and 7 below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment*. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Restrictions on 100% of the Units
will lapse on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the "Delivery Date"). Units for which Restrictions have lapsed shall
be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Death*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Termination due to death, and the Units shall be settled
(for the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution) in the form of Shares
as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Disability*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Disability, and the Units shall be settled in
the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of Disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Change in Control**. In the event of a Change in Control, the entity surviving such Change in Control or the ultimate parent
thereof (referred to herein as the "Surviving Entity") may assume, convert or replace this Award with an award of at least
equal value (determined using the same value for purchasing Company shares as used for purchasing Company shares not subject to this Agreement
on the date of the Change in Control) with terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement,
in which case the new award will vest according to the terms of the applicable award agreement. If the Surviving Entity does not assume,
convert or replace this Award, the Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Change in Control. If the Surviving Entity does assume,
convert or replace this Award, then in the event the Employee's Termination (i) occurs within the time period beginning six
(6) months immediately before a Change in Control and ending two (2) years immediately following such Change in Control, and
(ii) was initiated by the Company (or the Surviving Entity) for a reason other than Change in Control Cause or was initiated by the
Employee for Change in Control Good Reason, the Restrictions shall lapse on the later of the date of the Change in Control and the date
of the Employee's Termination. The provisions of this Section 5 shall supersede Section 13(a)(iv) of the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. If Section 5 does not apply, any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited
immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes
Cause, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary. If Section 5 does
apply, any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Board,
the Employee engages in an activity that constitutes Change in Control Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effect of Termination**. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than those set forth in subsections
4(b), (c) or Section 5, any Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall be
forfeited without consideration to the Employee or the Employee's Representative. If the Company terminates the Employee other than
for Cause and such termination is not covered by Section 5, the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause Restrictions on some or
all of the Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date to lapse and be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date set forth
in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed on such date. In accepting this Award, the Employee acknowledges
that in the event of Termination (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or determined
by the Company, the Employee's right to vest in the Units, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is
no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not
include a period of "garden leave" or similar period pursuant to local law) and that the Committee shall have the exclusive
discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 7(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Units back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Units and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Units that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Nature of Grant**. In accepting this grant of Units, the Employee acknowledges that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Program is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or
terminated by the Company at any time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Units, benefits in
lieu of Units, or other Program Benefits in the future, even if Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All decisions with respect to future Unit grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be made by the Committee, in its sole
discretion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and the
Employee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Employee is voluntarily participating in the Program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Units and Shares subject to the Units are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its Subsidiaries,
and are outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) not part of the Employee's normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating
any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement
or welfare benefits, or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services
for the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The future value of the Shares underlying the Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the Units resulting from (i) Termination
(for any reason whatsoever) and/or (ii) the application of Sections 6 and/or 7 above and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company
and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen,
then, by signing or electronically accepting this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Employee's
entitlement to pursue such claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Units and the Benefits under the Program, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger,
take-over or transfer of liability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the Units, the amount realized upon settlement
of the Units or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, resulting from any fluctuation
of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon request of the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable), the Employee agrees to provide an executed
data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required), as deemed necessary by the Company or the Subsidiary
that employs the Employee (if applicable) for the purpose of administering the Employee's participation in the Program in compliance
with the data privacy laws in the Employee's country, either now or in the future. If the Employee fails to provide any such consent
or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) and the Committee or its delegate
determines that the collection, processing and/or transfer of Data without such consent or agreement would violate the laws in the Employee's
country, the Employee understands and agrees that the Employee will not be able to participate in the Program and the Award will be null
and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Form of Payment**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of a cash payment
to the extent settlement in Shares: (i) is prohibited under local law; (ii) would require the Employee, the Company and/or its
Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Employee's country; (iii) would result
in adverse tax consequences for the Employee or the Company; or (iv) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company may,
in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of Shares but require the Employee to sell such Shares immediately
or within a specified period of time following the Employee's Termination (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company
the authority to issue sales instructions on the Employee's behalf).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Private Placement**. The grant of this Unit is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Employee's country.
The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise
required under local law), and this grant of Units is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Exchange Controls**. As a condition to this grant of Units, the Employee agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange
rules and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with
the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Shares are listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee's participation in the Program and legally applicable to the
Employee or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if technically due by the Company
or its Subsidiaries ("Tax-Related Items"), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items
is and remains the Employee's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The
Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, lapse of Restrictions
or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon payment of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such
issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation
to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee's liability for Tax-Related Items
or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one (1) jurisdiction between
the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be
required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one (1) jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Code Section 409A**. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with
the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted
in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A
and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and
without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from
Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Employee shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Employee has incurred a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Employee's Termination (including retirement) shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Employee's Termination (or upon the Employee's death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable: (i) all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 13(a) of the Program, upon the lapse of Restrictions pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, any Units not previously settled on the Delivery Date shall be settled as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of the Change in Control or the date of the Employee's Termination (as applicable); (iii) the term "as soon as administratively possible" means a period of time that is within 60 days after the Termination, Disability or Change in Control (as applicable); and (iv) the date of the Employee's Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Units, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Imposition of Other Requirements**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee's participation
in the Program, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Program, to the extent the Company or its Subsidiaries determines it
is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program, and to require the Employee
to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Employee agrees to take any and
all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and
its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Employee's country. In addition, the Employee agrees
to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Employee's personal obligations under local laws, rules and
regulations in the Employee's country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Electronic Delivery**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future
participation in the Program by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees
to participate in the Program through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated
by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **Addendum**. This grant of Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement
for the Employee's country. Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms
and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and
conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program (or the Company
may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's relocation). The Addendum
constitutes part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement, the Program, the Program prospectus, the Program administrative rules and any applicable
Company policies constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding the Award and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the Award. Except as expressly set forth
herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified, or interpreted by the parties, except
in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. **Language**. If the Employee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Program translated into a language
other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27. **Venue**. For any legal action relating to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the federal courts of the Northern District of Illinois, USA, and, if there is no jurisdiction in federal court, to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of the state courts in Lake County, Illinois, USA.

**Addendum to the Abbott Laboratories<br> RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT Agreement**

In addition to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Award is subject to the following terms and conditions. All defined terms contained in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Program. If the Employee is employed in a country identified in the Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply. If the Employee transfers residence and/or employment to or otherwise becomes subject to the local laws, rules, and/or regulations in a country identified in the Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable to comply with local law or to facilitate administration of the Program (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's transfer).

***EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM***

<u>Data Privacy</u>. The following provision replaces Section 11 of the Agreement in its entirety:

Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, Abbott and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (the "Employer") hereby notifies the Employee of the following in relation to the Employee's Personal Data (defined below) and the collection, processing and transfer in electronic or other form of such Personal Data in relation to the administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program. The collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's Personal Data is necessary for the legitimate purpose of Abbott and the Employer's administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Employee's denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of Personal Data may affect the Employee's participation in the Program. As such, by accepting the Units, the Employee acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of Personal Data as described herein.

Abbott and the Employer hold certain personally identifiable information about the Employee, specifically, the Employee's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in Abbott, details of all Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee's favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Program ("Personal Data"). The Personal Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties. Abbott or the Employer each act as controllers of the Personal Data and will process the Personal Data in this context for the exclusive legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program and meeting related legal obligations associated with these actions.

The processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures correlated to the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations. Personal Data will be accessible within Abbott's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and other aspects of the employment relationship and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

Abbott and the Employer will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and Abbott and the Employer may each further transfer Personal Data to third parties assisting Abbott or the Employer in the implementation, administration and management of the Program, including UBS Financial Services Inc. or any successor or other third party that Abbott, the Employer or UBS Financial Services Inc. (or its successor) may engage to assist with the administration of the Program from time to time. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. By participating in the Program, the Employee understands that these recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Personal Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program. The Employee further understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Employee's Personal Data by contacting the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources Department. When transferring Personal Data to these potential recipients, Abbott and the Employer provide appropriate safeguards in accordance with EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally binding and permissible arrangements. The Employee may request a copy of such safeguards from the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

To the extent provided by law, the Employee may, at any time, have the right to request: access to Personal Data, rectification of Personal Data, erasure of Personal Data, restriction of processing of Personal Data, and portability of Personal Data. The Employee may also have the right to object, on grounds related to a particular situation, to the processing of Personal Data, as well as opt-out of the Program herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee's human resources manager. The Employee's provision of Personal Data is a contractual requirement. The Employee understands, however, that the only consequence of refusing to provide Personal Data is that Abbott and the Employer may not be able to let the Employee participate in the Program, or grant other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. For more information on the consequences of the Employee's refusal to provide Personal Data, the Employee understands that the Employee may contact his or her local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

When Abbott and the Employer no longer need to use Personal Data for the purposes above or do not need to retain it for compliance with any legal or regulatory purpose, each will take reasonable steps to remove Personal Data from their systems and/or records containing the Personal Data and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that the Employee can no longer be identified from it.

***ALGERIA***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>. The Units and the underlying Shares have not been and will not be publicly issued, placed, distributed, offered, or registered in the Argentine capital markets, and, as a result, have not been and will not be registered with the Argentine Securities Commission (*Comisión Nacional de Valores*). Neither this Agreement nor any other offering material related to the Units nor the underlying Shares may be utilized in connection with any general offering to the public within Argentina. Any Argentine resident who acquires the Shares will do so under their own responsibility under the terms of a private offering to them from outside of Argentina. Any Argentine resident who acquires Shares shall not transfer such Shares to any other person within six (6) months of acquiring the Shares, unless the transaction is conducted outside Argentina.

***AUSTRALIA***

1. <u>Breach of Law</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the Program, the Employee will not be entitled to, and shall not claim any benefit (including without limitation a legal right) under the Program if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), any other provision of that Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits.

2. <u>Securities Law Notice</u>. The offer of Units is being made under Division 1A Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If the Employee offers Shares acquired under the Program for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, the Employee's offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law. The Employee should obtain legal advice on any disclosure obligations prior to making any such offer.

***BOLIVIA***

If the Company changes its designated broker, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may transfer any Shares issued under the Program to the new designated broker if necessary for legal or administrative reasons. The Employee agrees to sign any documentation necessary to facilitate the transfer. Upon a Termination, the Employee shall be required to sell all Shares issued pursuant to the Units within 90 days (or such shorter period as may be required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange) of the Termination date and repatriate the sales proceeds to China in the manner designated by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, the Company shall establish procedures for effectuating the forced sale of the Shares (including procedures whereby the Company may issue sell instructions on behalf of the Employee), and the Employee hereby agrees to comply with such procedures and take any and all actions as the Company determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable for purposes of complying with local laws, rules and regulations in China.

The Employee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in China in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. The Employee agrees to be subject to these restrictions even after Termination.

As such, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend and/or discontinue the Employee's participation in the Program at any time and without any liability. The value of the Units is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any.

***NEW ZEALAND***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>.

**Warning**

This is an offer of Units which, upon vesting and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Program and the Agreement, will be converted into Shares. Shares give you a stake in the ownership of Abbott Laboratories. You may receive a return if dividends are paid.

If Abbott Laboratories runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.

Prior to the vesting and settlement of the Units, you will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting rights) with respect to the underlying Shares.

No interest in any Units may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.

The Shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. This means that if you acquire Shares under the Program, you may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.

You also are hereby notified that the documents listed below are available for review on sites at the web addresses listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Abbott Laboratories' most recent Annual Report (Form 10-K): <u>https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=abt&owner=exclude&action=getcompany&Find=Search</u>

In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made to the Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Employee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason the Award shall be null and void.

The Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Award, unless otherwise provided in Sections 4 or 5 of the Agreement, any unvested Units as of the date the Employee ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of Termination by reason of, but not limited to, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with Cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without Cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without Cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers' Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers' Statue, Article 50 of the Workers' Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Subsidiary that employs the Employee and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a Termination on the Units.

2. <u>Termination for Cause</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Program or the Agreement, "Cause" shall be as defined as set forth in the Agreement, regardless of whether the Termination is considered a fair termination (i.e., "despido procedente") under Spanish legislation.

3. <u>Securities Law Notice</u>. No "offer of securities to the public," as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory under the Program. The Program, the Award, the Agreement, this Addendum and all other materials the Employee may receive regarding the Employee's participation in the Program have not been nor will they be registered with the *Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores* (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and they do not constitute a public offering prospectus.

***SWITZERLAND***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>. Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Units (i) constitutes a prospectus according to articles 35 et seq. of the Swiss Federal Act on Financial Services ("<u>FinSA</u>"), (ii) may be publicly distributed nor otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland to any person other than an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary or (iii) has been filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss reviewing body according to article 51 FinSA or any Swiss regulatory authority, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (<u>FINMA</u>).

***UNITED KINGDOM***

1. <u>Withholding Taxes</u>. The following provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement.

The Employee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Subsidiary in the United Kingdom that employs the Employee (the "Employer") or by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Employee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Employee's behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), he or she would not be eligible to have the Company or the Employer cover any income tax liability on his or her behalf. In this case, any income tax not collected from or paid by the Employee within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax liability occurred (or such other period specified in U.K. law) will constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") will be payable. The Employee will be responsible for paying and reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Employee by any of the means referred to in Section 8 of the Agreement.

2. <u>Exclusion of Claim</u>. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Employee's ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Units, whether or not as a result of Termination (whether the Termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Units. Upon the grant of the Award, the Employee shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.

stock dividend or recapitalization, which securities shall be deemed to be "Shares" hereunder) including the right to vote
and to receive all cash dividends or other cash distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares regardless of whether the Restrictions
described below are in effect.

3. **Restrictions**. The Shares are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 6 and 7 below. The Shares are not earned and
may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the "Restrictions") until
an event or combination of events described in subsections 4(a), (b), (c), (d) or Section 5 occurs.

4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 7 below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment*. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Restrictions on one-third of the Shares will lapse on the last business day of February 20__, provided the Company's
prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Restrictions on an additional one-third of the total number of Shares will lapse on the last business day of February 20__,

provided the Company's prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent.

If the Restrictions do not lapse on the respective date set forth in subsection 4(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) above, such Restrictions shall not lapse at a later date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Retirement.* The Restrictions shall continue to apply in the event of the Employee's Termination due to Retirement, but

on the date of the Employee's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Disability*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date the Employee incurs 12 consecutive months of Disability.

5. **Change in Control**. In the event of a Change in Control, the entity surviving such Change in Control or the ultimate parent
thereof (referred to herein as the "Surviving Entity") may assume, convert or replace this Award with an award of at least
equal value (determined using the same value for purchasing Company shares as used for purchasing Company shares not subject to this Agreement
on the date of the Change in Control) with terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement,
in which case the new award will vest according to the terms of the applicable award agreement. If the Surviving Entity does not assume,
convert or replace this Award, the Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Change in Control. If the Surviving Entity does assume,
convert or replace this Award, then in the event the Employee's Termination (i) occurs within the time period beginning six
(6) months immediately before a Change in Control and ending two (2) years immediately following such Change in Control, and
(ii) was initiated by the Company (or the Surviving Entity) for a reason other than Change in Control Cause or was initiated by the
Employee for Change in Control Good Reason, the Restrictions shall lapse on the later of the date of the Change in Control and the date
of the Employee's Termination. The provisions of this Section 5 shall supersede Section 13(a)(iii) and (v) of
the Program.

6. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts.** If Section 5 does not apply, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed
shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages
in activity that constitutes Cause, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.
If Section 5 does apply, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately
if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Board, the Employee engages in an activity that constitutes Change in Control Cause.

7. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effect of Termination**. In the event of the Employee's
 Termination for any reason other than those set forth in subsections 4 (b), (c), (d) or
 Section 5, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date
 of Termination shall be forfeited without consideration to the Employee or the Employee's
 Representative. If the Company terminates the Employee for any reason other than for Cause
 and such termination is not covered by Section 5, the Company may, in its sole discretion,
 cause Restrictions on some or all of the Shares to lapse on the dates set forth in subsection
 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed on such dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 7(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

8. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Award back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Award and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Award that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Award, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

9. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

10. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Awards or other Program
Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and
the Employee. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

11. **No Right to Compensation**. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated with the Award is an item
of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed part of the Employee's
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, pension, retirement, or any other employee benefits, or similar
payments under plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

12. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be

third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of
the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary
or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [For California residents] In the course of administering the Program,
 the Company collects Employee Data that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of
 being associated with a particular Employee and does not sell or share Employee Data with
 third parties for monetary value or cross contextual behavioral advertising. The Company's
 Privacy Notice to California Employees can be found at: <u>California_Employee_Use_of_Personal_Information.pdf.</u>

Shares are listed. Furthermore, if the Employee relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternative terms and
conditions as necessary or advisable to comply with local law, facilitate the administration of the Program, and/or accommodate the Employee's
relocation.

17. **Code Section 409A**. The Award is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Program and

permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment*. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Restrictions on one-third of the Shares will lapse on **«M_1st_yr_vest»**, provided the Company's prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Restrictions on an additional one-third of the total number of Shares will lapse on **«M_2nd_yr_vest»**,

provided the Company's prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent.

If the Restrictions do not lapse on the respective date set forth in subsection 4(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) above, such Restrictions shall not lapse at a later date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Retirement*. The Restrictions shall continue to apply in the event of the Employee's Termination
due to Retirement, but may lapse thereafter in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained

Disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Change in Control**. In the event of a Change in Control, the entity surviving such Change in Control
or the ultimate parent thereof (referred to herein as the "Surviving Entity") may assume, convert or replace this Award with
an award of at least equal value (determined using the same value for purchasing Company shares as used for purchasing Company shares
not subject to this Agreement on the date of the Change in Control) with terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions
provided in this Agreement, in which case the new award will vest according to the terms of the applicable award agreement. If the Surviving
Entity does not assume, convert or replace this Award, the Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Change in Control. If the Surviving
Entity does assume, convert or replace this Award, then in the event the Employee's Termination (i) occurs within the time period
beginning six (6) months immediately before a Change in Control and ending two (2) years immediately following such Change in Control,
and (ii) was initiated by the Company (or the Surviving Entity) for a reason other than Change in Control Cause or was initiated by the
Employee for Change in Control Good Reason, the Restrictions shall lapse on the later of the date of the Change in Control and the date
of the Employee's Termination. The provisions of this Section 5 shall supersede Section 13(a)(iii) and (v) of the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. If Section 5 does not apply, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions
have not lapsed shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate,
the Employee engages in activity that constitutes Cause, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with
the Company or a Subsidiary. If Section 5 does apply, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed shall be cancelled
and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Board, the Employee engages in an activity that constitutes Change
in Control Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effect of Termination**. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than
those set forth in subsections 4(b), (c), (d) or Section 5, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date
of Termination shall be forfeited without consideration to the Employee or the Employee's Representative. If the Company terminates
the Employee other than for Cause and such termination is not covered by Section 5, the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause Restrictions
on some or all of the Shares to lapse on the dates set forth in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed on such
dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions
of the Abbott Laboratories Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies,
including any predecessor and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies,"
and each individually, the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment
or clawback that is required under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation
as described in this Section 7(b) will be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or
 "constructive termination" (or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any
federal, state, local, and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare
withholding taxes arising from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement
by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Award back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount
to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Award and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of
such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee;
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's
behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Award that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Award, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program
is not and shall not be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment
at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional
Awards or other Program Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations
between the Company and the Employee. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **No Right to Compensation**. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated
with the Award is an item of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed
part of the Employee's normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service
payments, bonuses, long-service awards, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, pension, retirement, or any other employee
benefits, or similar payments under plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's
personal Data is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.
The Employee's denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability
to participate in the Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal
Data as described herein; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other
form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite
transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's
behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and
the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering
and managing the Employee's participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic
means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality
and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing
operations will be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing

as if the Employee had remained employed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Employee's death after his or her Termination
due to Retirement, for any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date, the restrictions shall lapse on the Employee's date

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Change in Control**. In the event of a Change in Control, the entity surviving such Change in Control or the ultimate parent
thereof (referred to herein as the "Surviving Entity") may assume, convert or replace this Award with an award of at least
equal value (determined using the same value for purchasing Company shares as used for purchasing Company shares not subject to this Agreement
on the date of the Change in Control) with terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement,
in which case the new award will vest according to the terms of the applicable award agreement. If the Surviving Entity does not assume,
convert or replace this Award, the Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Change in Control. If the Surviving Entity does assume,
convert or replace this Award, then in the event the Employee's Termination (i) occurs within the time period beginning six
(6) months immediately before a Change in Control and ending two (2) years immediately following such Change in Control, and
(ii) was initiated by the Company (or the Surviving Entity) for a reason other than Change in Control Cause or was initiated by the
Employee for Change in Control Good Reason, the Restrictions shall lapse on the later of the date of the Change in Control and the date
of the Employee's Termination. The provisions of this Section 5 shall supersede Section 13(a)(iv) and (v) of
the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. If Section 5 does not apply, any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited
immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes
Cause, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary. If Section 5 does
apply, any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Board,
the Employee engages in an activity that constitutes Change in Control Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effect of Termination**. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than those set forth in subsections
4(b), (c), (d) or Section 5, any Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall
be forfeited without consideration to the Employee or the Employee's Representative. If the Company terminates the Employee other
than for Cause and such termination is not covered by Section 5, the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all of the
Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date to continue to be subject to the Restrictions, provided such Restrictions may lapse thereafter
in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a), in which case such Units shall be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery
Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above occurring after the date of such Termination. In accepting this Award, the Employee
acknowledges that in the event of Termination (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement
or determined by the Company, the Employee's right to vest in the Units, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the
Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment
would not include a period of "garden leave" or similar period pursuant to local law) and that the Committee shall have the
exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 7(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Units back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Units and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Units that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Nature of Grant**. In accepting this grant of Units, the Employee acknowledges that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Program is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or
terminated by the Company at any time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Units, benefits in
lieu of Units, or other Program Benefits in the future, even if Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All decisions with respect to future Unit grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be made by the Committee, in its sole
discretion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and the
Employee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Employee is voluntarily participating in the Program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Units and Shares subject to the Units are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its Subsidiaries,
and are outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) not part of the Employee's normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating
any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement
or welfare benefits, or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services
for the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The future value of the Shares underlying the Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the Units resulting from (i) Termination
(for any reason whatsoever) and/or (ii) the application of Sections 6 and/or 7 above and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company
and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen,
then, by signing or electronically accepting this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Employee's
entitlement to pursue such claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Units and the Benefits under the Program, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger,
take-over or transfer of liability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the Units, the amount realized upon settlement
of the Units or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, resulting from any fluctuation
of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon request of the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable), the Employee agrees to provide an executed
data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required), as deemed necessary by the Company or the Subsidiary
that employs the Employee (if applicable) for the purpose of administering the Employee's participation in the Program in compliance
with the data privacy laws in the Employee's country, either now or in the future. If the Employee fails to provide any such consent
or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) and the Committee or its delegate
determines that the collection, processing and/or transfer of Data without such consent or agreement would violate the laws in the Employee's
country, the Employee understands and agrees that the Employee will not be able to participate in the Program and the Award will be null
and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Form of Payment**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of a cash payment
to the extent settlement in Shares: (i) is prohibited under local law; (ii) would require the Employee, the Company and/or its
Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Employee's country; (iii) would result
in adverse tax consequences for the Employee or the Company; or (iv) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company may,
in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of Shares but require the Employee to sell such Shares immediately
or within a specified period of time following the Employee's Termination (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company
the authority to issue sales instructions on the Employee's behalf).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Private Placement**. The grant of this Unit is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Employee's country.
The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise
required under local law), and this grant of Units is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Exchange Controls**. As a condition to this grant of Units, the Employee agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange
rules and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with
the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Shares are listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee's participation in the Program and legally applicable to the
Employee or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if technically due by the Company
or its Subsidiaries ("Tax-Related Items"), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items
is and remains the Employee's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The
Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, lapse of Restrictions
or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon payment of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such
issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation
to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee's liability for Tax-Related Items
or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one (1) jurisdiction between
the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be
required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one (1) jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Code Section 409A**. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with
the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted
in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A
and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and
without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from
Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Employee shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Employee has incurred a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Employee's Termination (including Retirement) shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Employee's Termination (or upon the Employee's death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable: (i) all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 13(a) of the Program, upon the lapse of Restrictions pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of the Change in Control or the date of the Employee's Termination (as applicable); (iii) the term "as soon as administratively possible" means a period of time that is within 60 days after the Termination, Disability or Change in Control (as applicable); and (iv) the date of the Employee's Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Units, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Imposition of Other Requirements**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee's participation
in the Program, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Program, to the extent the Company or its Subsidiaries determines it
is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program, and to require the Employee
to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Employee agrees to take any and
all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and
its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Employee's country. In addition, the Employee agrees
to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Employee's personal obligations under local laws, rules and
regulations in the Employee's country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Electronic Delivery**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future
participation in the Program by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees
to participate in the Program through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated
by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **Addendum**. This grant of Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement
for the Employee's country. Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms
and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and
conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program (or the Company
may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's relocation). The Addendum
constitutes part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. **Entire Agreement.** This Agreement, the Program, the Program prospectus, the Program administrative rules, and any applicable
Company policies constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding the Award and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the Award. Except as expressly set forth
herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified, or interpreted by the parties, except
in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. **Language**. If the Employee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Program translated into a language
other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27. **Venue**. For any legal action relating to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement consent
to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal courts of the Northern District of Illinois, USA, and, if there is no jurisdiction
in federal court, to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state courts in Lake County, Illinois, USA.

\* \* \*

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of the grant date above set forth.

**Addendum to the Abbott Laboratories<br> PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT Agreement**

In addition to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Award is subject to the following terms and conditions. All defined terms contained in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Program. If the Employee is employed in a country identified in the Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply. If the Employee transfers residence and/or employment to or otherwise becomes subject to the local laws, rules, and/or regulations in a country identified in the Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable to comply with local law or to facilitate administration of the Program (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's transfer).

***EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM***

<u>Data Privacy</u>. The following provision replaces Section 11 of the Agreement in its entirety:

Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, Abbott and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (the "Employer") hereby notifies the Employee of the following in relation to the Employee's Personal Data (defined below) and the collection, processing and transfer in electronic or other form of such Personal Data in relation to the administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program. The collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's Personal Data is necessary for the legitimate purpose of Abbott and the Employer's administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Employee's denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of Personal Data may affect the Employee's participation in the Program. As such, by accepting the Units, the Employee acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of Personal Data as described herein.

Abbott and the Employer hold certain personally identifiable information about the Employee, specifically, the Employee's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in Abbott, details of all Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee's favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Program ("Personal Data"). The Personal Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties. Abbott or the Employer each act as controllers of the Personal Data and will process the Personal Data in this context for the exclusive legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program and meeting related legal obligations associated with these actions.

The processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures correlated to the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations. Personal Data will be accessible within Abbott's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and other aspects of the employment relationship and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

Abbott and the Employer will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and Abbott and the Employer may each further transfer Personal Data to third parties assisting Abbott or the Employer in the implementation, administration and management of the Program, including UBS Financial Services Inc. or any successor or other third party that Abbott, the Employer or UBS Financial Services Inc. (or its successor) may engage to assist with the administration of the Program from time to time. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. By participating in the Program, the Employee understands that these recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Personal Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program. The Employee further understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Employee's Personal Data by contacting the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources Department. When transferring Personal Data to these potential recipients, Abbott and the Employer provide appropriate safeguards in accordance with EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally binding and permissible arrangements. The Employee may request a copy of such safeguards from the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

To the extent provided by law, the Employee may, at any time, have the right to request: access to Personal Data, rectification of Personal Data, erasure of Personal Data, restriction of processing of Personal Data, and portability of Personal Data. The Employee may also have the right to object, on grounds related to a particular situation, to the processing of Personal Data, as well as opt-out of the Program herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee's human resources manager. The Employee's provision of Personal Data is a contractual requirement. The Employee understands, however, that the only consequence of refusing to provide Personal Data is that Abbott and the Employer may not be able to let the Employee participate in the Program, or grant other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. For more information on the consequences of the Employee's refusal to provide Personal Data, the Employee understands that the Employee may contact his or her local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

When Abbott and the Employer no longer need to use Personal Data for the purposes above or do not need to retain it for compliance with any legal or regulatory purpose, each will take reasonable steps to remove Personal Data from their systems and/or records containing the Personal Data and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that the Employee can no longer be identified from it.

***CHINA***

*The following provisions shall apply to individuals who are subject to the People's Republic of China ("China") exchange control requirements, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion:*

1. <u>Treatment of Units upon Retirement</u>. Provided that the Employee is not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, if the Employee experiences a Termination due to Retirement, Restrictions on the Units shall lapse on the date of the Termination, and any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of Termination.

2. <u>Foreign Exchange Control Laws</u>. The Employee agrees to hold the Shares received upon settlement of the Units and any and all previously granted restricted stock units with the Company's designated broker. If the Company changes its designated broker, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may transfer any Shares issued under the Program to the new designated broker if necessary for legal or administrative reasons. The Employee agrees to sign any documentation necessary to facilitate the transfer. Upon a Termination, the Employee shall be required to sell all Shares issued pursuant to the Units within 90 days (or such shorter period as may be required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange) of the Termination date and repatriate the sales proceeds to China in the manner designated by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, the Company shall establish procedures for effectuating the forced sale of the Shares (including procedures whereby the Company may issue sell instructions on behalf of the Employee), and the Employee hereby agrees to comply with such procedures and take any and all actions as the Company determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable for purposes of complying with local laws, rules and regulations in China.

The Employee understands and agrees that the repatriation of dividends and sales proceeds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that sales proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Program may be transferred to such account by the Company on the Employee's behalf prior to being delivered to the Employee. The sales proceeds may be paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company's discretion. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars, the Employee understands that the Employee will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in local currency, the Employee acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the dividends and proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. The Employee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold and the net proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to the Employee. The Employee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in China in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. The Employee agrees to be subject to these restrictions even after Termination.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any costs, fees, lost interest or dividends or other losses the Employee may incur or suffer resulting from the enforcement of the terms of this Addendum or otherwise from the Company's operation and enforcement of the Program, the Agreement and the Units in accordance with Chinese law including, without limitation, any applicable State Administration of Foreign Exchange rules, regulations and requirements.

1. <u>Commercial Relationship</u>. The Employee expressly acknowledges that the Employee's participation in the Program and the Company's grant of the Award does not constitute an employment relationship between the Employee and the Company.

Based on the foregoing: (a) the Employee expressly acknowledges that the Program and the benefits derived from participation in the Program do not establish any rights between the Employee and the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee; (b) the Program and the benefits derived from participation in the Program are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee; and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Program or benefits granted thereunder by the Company, or a termination of the Program by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Employee's employment with the Subsidiary in Mexico.

As such, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend and/or discontinue the Employee's participation in the Program at any time and without any liability. The value of the Units is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any. The Units are not part of the Employee's regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee.

***NEW ZEALAND***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>.

**Warning**

This is an offer of Units which, upon vesting and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Program and the Agreement, will be converted into Shares. Shares give you a stake in the ownership of Abbott Laboratories. You may receive a return if dividends are paid.

If Abbott Laboratories runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.

Prior to the vesting and settlement of the Units, you will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting rights) with respect to the underlying Shares.

No interest in any Units may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.

The Shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. This means that if you acquire Shares under the Program, you may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.

You also are hereby notified that the documents listed below are available for review on sites at the web addresses listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Abbott Laboratories' most recent Annual Report (Form 10-K): <u>https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=abt&owner=exclude&action=getcompany&Find=Search</u>

The Employee should be aware of the risks of participating in the Program, including, but not limited to, the risk of fluctuation in the price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange and the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the Employee's local currency. In this regard, the Employee should be aware that the value of any Shares acquired under the Program may decrease after the Shares are issued and fluctuations in currency exchange rates between the Employee's local currency and the U.S. Dollar may affect the value of the any amounts due to the Employee upon vesting and settlement of the Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired under the Program. The Company is not making any representations, projections or assurances regarding the value of the Shares now or in the future.

Further information on risk factors impacting the Company's business that may affect the value of the Shares may be found in the discussion in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and available online at www.sec.gov as well as on the Company's website at www.abbott.com/investors.html.

In addition, the Employee understands that this grant would not be made to the Employee but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Employee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason the Award shall be null and void.

The Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Award, unless otherwise provided in Sections 4 or 5 of the Agreement, any unvested Units as of the date the Employee ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of Termination by reason of, but not limited to, disciplinary dismissal adjudged to be with Cause, disciplinary dismissal adjudged or recognized to be without Cause, individual or collective dismissal on objective grounds, whether adjudged or recognized to be with or without Cause, material modification of the terms of employment under Article 41 of the Workers' Statute, relocation under Article 40 of the Workers' Statue, Article 50 of the Workers' Statute, unilateral withdrawal by the Subsidiary that employs the Employee and under Article 10.3 of the Royal Decree 1382/1985. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a Termination on the Units.

2. <u>Termination for Cause</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Program or the Agreement, "Cause" shall be as defined as set forth in the Agreement, regardless of whether the Termination is considered a fair termination (i.e., "despido procedente") under Spanish legislation.

3. <u>Securities Law Notice</u>. No "offer of securities to the public," as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory under the Program. The Program, the Award, the Agreement, this Addendum and all other materials the Employee may receive regarding the Employee's participation in the Program have not been nor will they be registered with the *Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores* (Spanish Securities Exchange Commission), and they do not constitute a public offering prospectus.

1. <u>Withholding Taxes</u>. The following provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement.

The Employee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Subsidiary in the United Kingdom that employs the Employee (the "Employer") or by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Employee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Employee's behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), he or she would not be eligible to have the Company or the Employer cover any income tax liability on his or her behalf. In this case, any income tax not collected from or paid by the Employee within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax liability occurred (or such other period specified in U.K. law) will constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") will be payable. The Employee will be responsible for paying and reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Employee by any of the means referred to in Section 8 of the Agreement.

2. <u>Exclusion of Claim</u>. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Employee's ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Units, whether or not as a result of Termination (whether the Termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Units. Upon the grant of the Award, the Employee shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.

Subject to the requirements of local law, the Employee shall receive cash payments equal to the dividends and distributions paid on Shares underlying the Units (the "Dividend Equivalents") (other than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to its Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization) to the same extent and on the same date (or as soon as practicable thereafter) as if each Unit were a Share; provided, however, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Employee with respect to dividends or distributions the record date for which occurs on or after the date the Employee has forfeited the Units, or the date the Units are settled. For purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the specified date for payment of any Dividend Equivalents to which the Employee is entitled under this Section 2 is the calendar year during the term of this Agreement in which the associated dividends or distributions are paid on Shares underlying the Units. The Employee shall have no right to determine the year in which Dividend Equivalents will be paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Restrictions**. The Units are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 6 and 7 below. The Units are not earned and may

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment*. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Restrictions on one-third of the total number of Units will lapse on **«M_1st_yr_vest»**, provided the Company's
prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Restrictions on an additional one-third of the total number of Units will lapse on **«M_2nd_yr_vest»**, provided
the Company's prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Restrictions on an additional one-third of the total number of Units will lapse on **«M_3rd_yr_vest»**, provided
the Company's prior year return on equity is a minimum of __ percent.

If the Restrictions do not lapse on the respective date set forth in subsection 4(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) above, such Restrictions shall not lapse at a later date.

Units for which Restrictions have lapsed, as described in this subsection 4(a), shall be settled in the form of Shares on the date(s) on which such Restrictions lapse (each, a "Delivery Date"). Unless indicated otherwise, Shares shall be delivered in an equal number (subject to rounding) as of each Delivery Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Retirement*. The Restrictions shall continue to apply in the event of the Employee's Termination due to Retirement, but
may lapse thereafter in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a), in which case any Units not previously settled shall be settled
in the form of Shares on the Delivery Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above occurring after the date of such Retirement
as if the Employee had remained employed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Employee's death after his or her Termination
due to Retirement, for any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date, the restrictions shall lapse on the Employee's date
of death and the Units will be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date
of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Death*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Termination due to death, and any Units not previously
settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled (for the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws
of descent or distribution) in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Disability*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Disability, and any Units not previously settled
on a Delivery Date shall be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of
Disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Change in Control**. In the event of a Change in Control, the entity surviving such Change in Control or the ultimate parent
thereof (referred to herein as the "Surviving Entity") may assume, convert or replace this Award with an award of at least
equal value (determined using the same value for purchasing Company shares as used for purchasing Company shares not subject to this Agreement
on the date of the Change in Control) with terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement,
in which case the new award will vest according to the terms of the applicable award agreement. If the Surviving Entity does not assume,
convert or replace this Award, the Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Change in Control. If the Surviving Entity does assume,
convert or replace this Award, then in the event the Employee's Termination (i) occurs within the time period beginning six
(6) months immediately before a Change in Control and ending two (2) years immediately following such Change in Control, and
(ii) was initiated by the Company (or the Surviving Entity) for a reason other than Change in Control Cause or was initiated by the
Employee for Change in Control Good Reason, the Restrictions shall lapse on the later of the date of the Change in Control and the date
of the Employee's Termination. The provisions of this Section 5 shall supersede Section 13(a)(iv) and (v) of
the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. If Section 5 does not apply, any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited
immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages in activity that constitutes
Cause, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary. If Section 5 does
apply, any Units not previously settled shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Board,
the Employee engages in an activity that constitutes Change in Control Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effect of Termination**. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than those set forth in subsections
4 (b), (c), (d) or Section 5, any Units with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall
be forfeited without consideration to the Employee or the Employee's Representative. If the Company terminates the Employee other
than for Cause and such termination is not covered by Section 5, the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all of the
Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date to continue to be subject to the Restrictions, provided such Restrictions may lapse thereafter
in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4(a), in which case such Units shall be settled in the form of Shares on the Delivery
Date(s) set forth in subsection 4(a) above occurring after the date of such Termination. In accepting this Award, the Employee
acknowledges that in the event of Termination (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement
or determined by the Company, the Employee's right to vest in the Units, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the
Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment
would not include a period of "garden leave" or similar period pursuant to local law) and that the Committee shall have the
exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 7(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Units back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Units and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Units that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Nature of Grant**. In accepting this grant of Units, the Employee acknowledges that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Program is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or
terminated by the Company at any time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Units, benefits in
lieu of Units, or other Program Benefits in the future, even if Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All decisions with respect to future Unit grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be made by the Committee, in its sole
discretion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and the
Employee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Employee is voluntarily participating in the Program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Units and Shares subject to the Units are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its Subsidiaries,
and are outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) not part of the Employee's normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating
any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement
or welfare benefits, or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services
for the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The future value of the Shares underlying the Units is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the Units resulting from (i) Termination
(for any reason whatsoever) and/or (ii) the application of Sections 6 and/or 7 above and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company
and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen,
then, by signing or electronically accepting this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the Employee's
entitlement to pursue such claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Units and the Benefits under the Program, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger,
take-over or transfer of liability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the Units, the amount realized upon settlement
of the Units or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Units, resulting from any fluctuation
of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon request of the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable), the Employee agrees to provide an executed
data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required), as deemed necessary by the Company or the Subsidiary
that employs the Employee (if applicable) for the purpose of administering the Employee's participation in the Program in compliance
with the data privacy laws in the Employee's country, either now or in the future. If the Employee fails to provide any such consent
or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) and the Committee or its delegate
determines that the collection, processing and/or transfer of Data without such consent or agreement would violate the laws in the Employee's
country, the Employee understands and agrees that the Employee will not be able to participate in the Program and the Award will be null
and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Form of Payment**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of a cash payment
to the extent settlement in Shares: (i) is prohibited under local law; (ii) would require the Employee, the Company and/or its
Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Employee's country; (iii) would result
in adverse tax consequences for the Employee or the Company; or (iv) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company may,
in its sole discretion, settle the Employee's Units in the form of Shares but require the Employee to sell such Shares immediately
or within a specified period of time following the Employee's Termination (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company
the authority to issue sales instructions on the Employee's behalf).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Private Placement**. The grant of this Unit is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Employee's country.
The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise
required under local law), and this grant of Units is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Exchange Controls**. As a condition to this grant of Units, the Employee agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange
rules and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with
the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Shares are listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee's participation in the Program and legally applicable to the
Employee or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if technically due by the Company
or its Subsidiaries ("Tax-Related Items"), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items
is and remains the Employee's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The
Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, lapse of Restrictions
or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon payment of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such
issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation
to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee's liability for Tax-Related Items
or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one (1) jurisdiction between
the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be
required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one (1) jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Code Section 409A**. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with
the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted
in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A
and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and
without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from
Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Employee shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Employee has incurred a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Employee's Termination (including Retirement) shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Employee's Termination (or upon the Employee's death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable: (i) all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment; (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 13(a) of the Program, upon the lapse of Restrictions pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of the Change in Control or the date of the Employee's Termination (as applicable); (iii) the term "as soon as administratively possible" means a period of time that is within 60 days after the Termination, Disability or Change in Control (as applicable); and (iv) the date of the Employee's Disability shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Units, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Imposition of Other Requirements**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee's participation
in the Program, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Program, to the extent the Company or its Subsidiaries determines it
is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program, and to require the Employee
to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Employee agrees to take any and
all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and
its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Employee's country. In addition, the Employee agrees
to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Employee's personal obligations under local laws, rules and
regulations in the Employee's country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Electronic Delivery**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future
participation in the Program by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees
to participate in the Program through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated
by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **Addendum**. This grant of Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement
for the Employee's country. Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms
and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and
conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program (or the Company
may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's relocation). The Addendum
constitutes part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement, the Program, the Program prospectus, the Program administrative rules and any applicable
Company policies constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding the Award and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the Award. Except as expressly set forth
herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified, or interpreted by the parties, except
in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. **Language**. If the Employee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Program translated into a language
other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27. **Venue**. For any legal action relating to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the federal courts of the Northern District of Illinois, USA, and, if there is no jurisdiction in federal court, to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of the state courts in Lake County, Illinois, USA.

**Addendum to the Abbott Laboratories<br> performance RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT Agreement**

In addition to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Award is subject to the following terms and conditions. All defined terms contained in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Program. If the Employee is employed in a country identified in the Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply. If the Employee transfers residence and/or employment to or otherwise becomes subject to the local laws, rules, and/or regulations in a country identified in the Addendum, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable to comply with local law or to facilitate administration of the Program (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's transfer).

***EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM***

<u>Data Privacy</u>. The following provision replaces Section 11 of the Agreement in its entirety:

Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, Abbott and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (the "Employer") hereby notifies the Employee of the following in relation to the Employee's Personal Data (defined below) and the collection, processing and transfer in electronic or other form of such Personal Data in relation to the administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program. The collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's Personal Data is necessary for the legitimate purpose of Abbott and the Employer's administration of the Units and the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Employee's denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of Personal Data may affect the Employee's participation in the Program. As such, by accepting the Units, the Employee acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of Personal Data as described herein.

Abbott and the Employer hold certain personally identifiable information about the Employee, specifically, the Employee's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in Abbott, details of all Units or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee's favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Program ("Personal Data"). The Personal Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties. Abbott or the Employer each act as controllers of the Personal Data and will process the Personal Data in this context for the exclusive legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program and meeting related legal obligations associated with these actions.

The processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures correlated to the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations. Personal Data will be accessible within Abbott's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and other aspects of the employment relationship and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

Abbott and the Employer will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and Abbott and the Employer may each further transfer Personal Data to third parties assisting Abbott or the Employer in the implementation, administration and management of the Program, including UBS Financial Services Inc. or any successor or other third party that Abbott, the Employer or UBS Financial Services Inc. (or its successor) may engage to assist with the administration of the Program from time to time. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. By participating in the Program, the Employee understands that these recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Personal Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program. The Employee further understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Employee's Personal Data by contacting the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources Department. When transferring Personal Data to these potential recipients, Abbott and the Employer provide appropriate safeguards in accordance with EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally binding and permissible arrangements. The Employee may request a copy of such safeguards from the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

To the extent provided by law, the Employee may, at any time, have the right to request: access to Personal Data, rectification of Personal Data, erasure of Personal Data, restriction of processing of Personal Data, and portability of Personal Data. The Employee may also have the right to object, on grounds related to a particular situation, to the processing of Personal Data, as well as opt-out of the Program herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee's human resources manager. The Employee's provision of Personal Data is a contractual requirement. The Employee understands, however, that the only consequence of refusing to provide Personal Data is that Abbott and the Employer may not be able to let the Employee participate in the Program, or grant other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. For more information on the consequences of the Employee's refusal to provide Personal Data, the Employee understands that the Employee may contact his or her local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

When Abbott and the Employer no longer need to use Personal Data for the purposes above or do not need to retain it for compliance with any legal or regulatory purpose, each will take reasonable steps to remove Personal Data from their systems and/or records containing the Personal Data and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that the Employee can no longer be identified from it.

1. <u>Treatment of Units upon Retirement</u>. Provided that the Employee is not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, if the Employee experiences a Termination due to Retirement, Restrictions on the Units shall lapse on the date of the Termination, and any Units not previously settled on a Delivery Date shall be settled in the form of Shares as soon as administratively possible after, and effective as of, the date of Termination.

2. <u>Foreign Exchange Control Laws</u>. The Employee agrees to hold the Shares received upon settlement of the Units and any and all previously granted restricted stock units with the Company's designated broker. If the Company changes its designated broker, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may transfer any Shares issued under the Program to the new designated broker if necessary for legal or administrative reasons. The Employee agrees to sign any documentation necessary to facilitate the transfer. Upon a Termination, the Employee shall be required to sell all Shares issued pursuant to the Units within 90 days (or such shorter period as may be required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange) of the Termination date and repatriate the sales proceeds to China in the manner designated by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, the Company shall establish procedures for effectuating the forced sale of the Shares (including procedures whereby the Company may issue sell instructions on behalf of the Employee), and the Employee hereby agrees to comply with such procedures and take any and all actions as the Company determines, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable for purposes of complying with local laws, rules and regulations in China.

The Employee understands and agrees that the repatriation of dividends and sales proceeds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that sales proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Program may be transferred to such account by the Company on the Employee's behalf prior to being delivered to the Employee. The sales proceeds may be paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company's discretion. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars, the Employee understands that the Employee will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in local currency, the Employee acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the dividends and proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. The Employee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold and the net proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to the Employee. The Employee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in China in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. The Employee agrees to be subject to these restrictions even after Termination.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any costs, fees, lost interest or dividends or other losses the Employee may incur or suffer resulting from the enforcement of the terms of this Addendum or otherwise from the Company's operation and enforcement of the Program, the Agreement and the Units in accordance with Chinese law including, without limitation, any applicable State Administration of Foreign Exchange rules, regulations and requirements.

As such, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend and/or discontinue the Employee's participation in the Program at any time and without any liability. The value of the Units is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any. The Units are not part of the Employee's regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee.

***NEW ZEALAND***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>.

**Warning**

This is an offer of Units which, upon vesting and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Program and the Agreement, will be converted into Shares. Shares give you a stake in the ownership of Abbott Laboratories. You may receive a return if dividends are paid.

If Abbott Laboratories runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.

Prior to the vesting and settlement of the Units, you will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting rights) with respect to the underlying Shares.

No interest in any Units may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.

The Shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. This means that if you acquire Shares under the Program, you may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.

You also are hereby notified that the documents listed below are available for review on sites at the web addresses listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Abbott Laboratories' most recent Annual Report (Form 10-K): <u>https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=abt&owner=exclude&action=getcompany&Find=Search</u>

The Employee should be aware of the risks of participating in the Program, including, but not limited to, the risk of fluctuation in the price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange and the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the Employee's local currency. In this regard, the Employee should be aware that the value of any Shares acquired under the Program may decrease after the Shares are issued and fluctuations in currency exchange rates between the Employee's local currency and the U.S. Dollar may affect the value of the any amounts due to the Employee upon vesting and settlement of the Units or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired under the Program.

Further information on risk factors impacting the Company's business that may affect the value of the Shares may be found in the discussion in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and available online at www.sec.gov as well as on the Company's website at www.abbott.com/investors.html.

1. <u>Withholding Taxes</u>. The following provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement.

The Employee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Subsidiary in the United Kingdom that employs the Employee (the "Employer") or by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Employee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Employee's behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), he or she would not be eligible to have the Company or the Employer cover any income tax liability on his or her behalf. In this case, any income tax not collected from or paid by the Employee within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax liability occurred (or such other period specified in U.K. law) will constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") will be payable. The Employee will be responsible for paying and reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Employee by any of the means referred to in Section 8 of the Agreement.

2. <u>Exclusion of Claim</u>. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Employee's ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to the Units, whether or not as a result of Termination (whether the Termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Units. Upon the grant of the Award, the Employee shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.

the Shares (and any securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to the Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination,
stock dividend or recapitalization, which securities shall be deemed to be "Shares" hereunder) including the right to vote
and to receive all cash dividends or other cash distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares regardless of whether the Restrictions
described below are in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Restrictions**. The Shares are subject to the forfeiture provisions in Sections 6 and 7 below. The Shares are not earned and
may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of (collectively, the "Restrictions") until

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 7 below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment*. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Restrictions on one-third of the
Shares will lapse on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Grant Date until, on the third anniversary of the Grant Date,
100% of the Shares are no longer subject to the Restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Retirement*. If the Employee's Termination occurs due to Retirement, then any Restrictions remaining after the date of
such Retirement shall continue to lapse on the anniversaries of the Grant Date as set forth in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee
had remained employed on such dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Employee's death after his or her Termination
due to Retirement, the restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Death*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Employee's Termination due to death.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Disability*. The Restrictions shall lapse on the date the Employee incurs 12 consecutive months of Disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Change in Control**. In the event of a Change in Control, the entity surviving such Change in Control or the ultimate parent
thereof (referred to herein as the "Surviving Entity") may assume, convert or replace this Award with an award of at least
equal value (determined using the same value for purchasing Company shares as used for purchasing Company shares not subject to this Agreement
on the date of the Change in Control) with terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement,
in which case the new award will vest according to the terms of the applicable award agreement. If the Surviving Entity does not assume,
convert or replace this Award, the Restrictions shall lapse on the date of the Change in Control. If the Surviving Entity does assume,
convert or replace this Award, then in the event the Employee's Termination (i) occurs within the time period beginning six
(6) months immediately before a Change in Control and ending two (2) years immediately following such Change in Control, and
(ii) was initiated by the Company (or the Surviving Entity) for a reason other than Change in Control Cause or was initiated by the
Employee for Change in Control Good Reason, the Restrictions shall lapse on the later of the date of the Change in Control and the date
of the Employee's Termination. The provisions of this Section 5 shall supersede Section 13(a)(iii) of the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. If Section 5 does not apply, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed
shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages
in activity that constitutes Cause, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.
If Section 5 does apply, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately
if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Board, the Employee engages in an activity that constitutes Change in Control Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effect of Termination**. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than those set forth in subsections
4(b), (c), (d) or Section 5, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of Termination shall
be forfeited without consideration to the Employee or the Employee's Representative. If the Company terminates the Employee other
than for Cause and such termination is not covered by Section 5, the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause Restrictions on some
or all of the Shares to lapse on the dates set forth in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained employed on such dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 7(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Award back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Award and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Award that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Award, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Awards or other Program
Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and
the Employee. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **No Right to Compensation**. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated with the Award is an item
of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed part of the Employee's
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, pension, retirement, or any other employee benefits, or similar
payments under plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 7 below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *During Employment*. While the Employee is employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Restrictions on 100% of the Shares

(ii) was initiated by the Company (or the Surviving Entity) for a reason other than Change in Control Cause or was initiated by the
Employee for Change in Control Good Reason, the Restrictions shall lapse on the later of the date of the Change in Control and the date

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. If Section 5 does not apply, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed
shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Committee or its delegate, the Employee engages
in activity that constitutes Cause, whether or not the Employee experiences a Termination or remains employed with the Company or a Subsidiary.
If Section 5 does apply, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately
if, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Board, the Employee engages in an activity that constitutes Change in Control Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Effect of Termination; Recoupment.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effect of Termination**. In the event of the Employee's Termination for any reason other than
those set forth in subsections 4(b), (c) or Section 5, any Shares with respect to which Restrictions have not lapsed as of the
date of Termination shall be forfeited without consideration to the Employee or the Employee's Representative. If the Company terminates
the Employee other than for Cause and such termination is not covered by Section 5, the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause
Restrictions on some or all of the Shares to lapse on the date set forth in subsection 4(a) above as if the Employee had remained
employed on such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Recoupment.** Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 7(b) will
be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Award back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Award and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Award that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Award, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Awards or other Program
Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and
the Employee. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **No Right to Compensation**. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated with the Award is an item
of compensation outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed part of the Employee's
normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses,
long-service awards, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, pension, retirement, or any other employee benefits, or similar
payments under plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's
behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Effect of Termination or Death on the Option**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Termination due to Retirement*. Subject to Sections 7 and 8 below, in the event of Termination due to Retirement, then (regardless
of any subsequent death of the Employee) the Option will continue to vest pursuant to Section 3, and the last date on which the Option
may be exercised is the day prior to the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Termination due to Disability*. Subject to Sections 7 and 8 below, in the event of Termination due to Disability, then (regardless
of any subsequent death of the Employee) the Option will continue to vest pursuant to Section 3, and the last date on which the Option
may be exercised is the day prior to the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Termination due to Death of the Employee*. In the event of the death of the Employee during employment, the Option will continue
to vest pursuant to Section 3, and the last date on which the Option may be exercised is the day prior to the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Termination for Reason Other than under Subsection 5(a), (b), (c) or Section 6*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Options Granted Within Nine (9) Months of Termination. Any Option granted less than nine (9) months prior to a Termination for any
reason other than for those set forth in subsections 5(a), (b), (c) or Section 6 shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately upon such
Termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Options Granted Nine (9) Months or More Prior to Termination. Subject to Sections 7 and 8 below, an Option granted nine (9) months
or more prior to a Termination for any reason other than those set forth in subsections 5(a), (b), (c) or Section 6, will continue to
vest and shall be exercisable to the extent permitted by Section 3 for a three-month period after the Employee's effective date
of Termination, but in no event shall such Option be exercised on or after the Expiration Date. In the event of the death of the Employee
during the three-month period after the Employee's effective date of Termination, the Option shall continue to vest and be exercisable
for a three-month period measured from the date of death, but in no event shall such Option be exercised on or after the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Change in Control.** In the event of a Change in Control, the entity surviving such Change in Control or the ultimate parent
thereof (referred to herein as the "Surviving Entity") may assume, convert or replace this Option with options of at least
equal value (determined using the same value for purchasing Company shares as used for purchasing Company shares not subject to this Agreement
on the date of the Change in Control) with terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement,
in which case the new option will vest according to the terms of the applicable award agreement. If the Surviving Entity does not assume,
convert or replace this Option, this Option will be fully vested on the date of the Change in Control. If the Surviving Entity does assume,
convert or replace this Option, then in the event the Employee's Termination (i) occurs within the time period beginning six (6)
months immediately before a Change in Control and ending two (2) years immediately following such Change in Control, and (ii) was initiated
by the Company (or the Surviving Entity) for a reason other than Change in Control Cause or was initiated by the Employee for Change in
Control Good Reason, this Option shall become fully vested on the later of the date of the Change in Control and the date of the Employee's
Termination. The provisions of this Section 6 shall supersede Section 13(a)(i)of the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Recoupment**. Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section
7 will be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. The Option shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion
of the Committee or its delegate with respect to (a) and (b), or, the sole opinion and discretion of the Board with respect to (c), the
Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if Section 6 does not apply, commits a material breach of the terms and conditions of the Employee's employment, including,
but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) material breach by the Employee of the Code of Business Conduct;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) material breach by the Employee of the Employee's Employee Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) commission by the Employee of an act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with the Employee's duties or in the course
of the Employee's employment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) wrongful disclosure by the Employee of secret processes or confidential information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) failure by the Employee to substantially perform the duties of the Employee's employment (other than any such failure resulting
from the Employee's Disability); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if Section 6, does not apply, to the extent permitted by applicable law, engagement by the Employee, directly or indirectly, for the
benefit of the Employee or others, in any activity, employment or business which is competitive with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if Section 6 does apply, the Employee engages in an activity that is deemed to constitute Change in Control Cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Right to Continued Employment**. This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **No Contract as of Right**. The grant of an Option under the Program does not create any contractual or other right to receive
additional Options or other Program Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual
obligations between the Company and the Employee. Future Option grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion
of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **No Right to Compensation**. Neither this Option, Shares issued upon its exercise, any excess of market value over Exercise Price,
nor any other rights, benefits, values or interest resulting from the granting of the Option shall be considered as compensation for purposes
of any pension or retirement plan, insurance plan, investment or stock purchase plan, or any other employee benefit plan of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries. Unless expressly provided by the Company in writing, any value associated with the Option is an item of compensation
outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any, and shall not be deemed part of the Employee's normal or
expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, or end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service
awards, pension or retirement benefits, or similar payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [For California residents] In the course of administering the Program,
 the Company collects Employee Data that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of
 being associated with a particular Employee and does not sell or share Employee Data with
 third parties for monetary value or cross contextual behavioral advertising. The Company's
 Privacy Notice to California Employees can be found at: <u>California_Employee_Use_of_Personal_Information.pdf</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Option, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying
Shares. The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement, the Program, the Program prospectus, the Program administrative rules, and any applicable
Company policies constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding the Option and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the Option. Except as expressly set forth
herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified, or interpreted by the parties, except
in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant
to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements
or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Shares
are listed. Furthermore, if the Employee relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternative terms and conditions
as necessary or advisable to comply with local law, facilitate the administration of the Program, and/or accommodate the Employee's
relocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **Code Section 409A**. The Option is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Program and this Agreement
shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that the Option is subject to
Code Section 409A and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the Company's sole
discretion, and without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be
exempt from Code Section 409A.

Although this Agreement and the Benefits provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the Benefits provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) For participants in the Abbott Laboratories Pension Plan for Former BASF and Former Solvay Employees, Retirement means any of the
following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· age 55 with 10 years of service; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· age 65 with at least three (3) years of service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) For purposes of calculating service under this Section 1(l), except as otherwise provided by the Committee or its delegate, service
is earned only if performed for a member of the Controlled Group while that Controlled Group member is a part of the Controlled Group.
Program administrative rules apply in determining Retirement eligibility and credited service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) If an Employee has a Termination and (A) as of the date of that Termination met the definition of Retirement, and (B) is
subsequently rehired by a member of the Controlled Group, then for purposes of this Agreement that Employee will continue to be treated
as meeting the definition of Retirement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) *Termination*: A severance of employment for any reason (including Retirement) from the Company and all Subsidiaries. Any Termination
shall be effective on the last day the Employee performs services for or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiary, and employment shall
not be extended by any statutory or common law notice of termination period.

2. **Term of Option**. Subject to Sections 5, 6 and 7, the Employee may exercise all or a portion of the vested Option at any time
prior to the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date (the "Expiration Date"); provided that the Option may be exercised with respect
to whole Shares only. In no event shall the Option be exercisable on or after the Expiration Date. To the extent the Option is not exercised
prior to the Expiration Date (or any earlier expiration of the Option pursuant to Sections 5, 6 and 7), it shall be canceled and forfeited.

3. **Vesting**. Subject to Sections 6 and 7, the Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, one-third of the total number of Shares may be purchased;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, two-thirds of the total number of Shares may be purchased; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, the Option may be exercised in full.

The Option is not earned and the Employee has no right to purchase the underlying Shares until an event described above occurs. The vesting described above is cumulative, so that at each vesting date an additional amount of Shares is available for purchase and remains available until the Option's Expiration Date or such earlier date determined pursuant to Section 5, 6 or 7 below.

4. **Exercise of the Option**. To the extent vested, the Option may be exercised in whole or in part as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Who May Hold/Exercise the Option*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) General Rule - Exercise by Employee Only. During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option may be exercised only by the Employee
or the Employee's Representative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Death Exception. If the Employee dies, then the Option may be exercised only by the executor or administrator of the estate of the
Employee or the person or persons to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution. Such person(s) shall
furnish the appropriate tax clearances, proof of the right of such person(s) to exercise the Option, and other pertinent data as
the Company may deem necessary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Transferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee or its delegate, the Option is not transferable other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution. It may not be assigned, transferred (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution),
pledged or hypothecated in any way, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar
process. Any attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof,
and the levy of any attachment or similar process upon such Option, shall be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Method of Exercise.* Subject to the requirements of local law, the Option may be exercised only by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) delivery to the designated employee or agent of the Company of a written, electronic, or telephonic notice of exercise, specifying
the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is then being exercised, and payment of the full Exercise Price of the Shares being
purchased in cash or with other Shares held by the Employee having a then Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) delivery of a properly-executed exercise notice together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to
the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Exercise Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) a combination of (i) and (ii) above; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) any other manner approved by the Committee from time to time.

Each method of exercise requires payment of the full amount of any federal, state, local or other applicable taxes which the Company believes are required to be withheld and paid with respect to such exercise, as described below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Payment of Taxes*. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Employee to remit, any federal, state, local, and
other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising in
connection with the receipt or exercise of the Option by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) tendering Shares received in connection with the Option back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Option and having the Company withhold from the proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Employee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) requiring the Employee to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Employee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Employee, the Employee shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Option.

5. **Effect of Termination or Death on the Option**. By accepting this Option grant, the Employee acknowledges that, except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, in the event of Termination (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee's right to
vest in the Option under the Program, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed
and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of "garden
leave" or similar period pursuant to local law) and that the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the
Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Option grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Termination due to Retirement*. Subject to Sections 7 and 8 below, in the event of Termination due to Retirement, then (regardless
of any subsequent death of the Employee) the Option will continue to vest pursuant to Section 3, and the last date on which the Option
may be exercised is the day prior to the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Termination due to Disability*. Subject to Sections 7 and 8 below, in the event of Termination due to Disability, then (regardless
of any subsequent death of the Employee) the Option will continue to vest pursuant to Section 3, and the last date on which the Option
may be exercised is the day prior to the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Termination due to Death of the Employee*. In the event of the death of the Employee during employment, the Option will continue
to vest pursuant to Section 3, and the last date on which the Option may be exercised is the day prior to the Expiration Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Termination for Reason Other than under Subsection 5(a), (b), (c) or Section 6*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Options Granted Within Nine (9) Months of Termination. Any Option granted less than nine (9) months prior to a Termination
for any reason other than those set forth in subsections 5(a), (b), (c) or Section 6 shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately
upon such Termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Options Granted Nine (9) Months or More Prior to Termination. Subject to Sections 7 and 8 below, an Option granted nine (9) months
or more prior to a Termination for any reason other than those set forth in subsections 5(a), (b), (c) or Section 6, will continue
to vest and shall be exercisable to the extent permitted by Section 3 for a three-month period after the Employee's effective
date of Termination, but in no event shall such Option be exercised on or after the Expiration Date. In the event of the death of the
Employee during the three-month period after the Employee's effective date of Termination, the Option shall continue to vest and
be exercisable for a three-month period measured from the date of death, but in no event shall such Option be exercised on or after the
Expiration Date.

6. **Change in Control**. In the event of a Change in Control, the entity surviving such Change in Control or the ultimate parent
thereof (referred to herein as the "Surviving Entity") may assume, convert or replace this Option with options of at least
equal value (determined using the same value for purchasing Company shares as used for purchasing Company shares not subject to this Agreement
on the date of the Change in Control) with terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement,
in which case the new option will vest according to the terms of the applicable award agreement. If the Surviving Entity does not assume,
convert or replace this Option, this Option will be fully vested on the date of the Change in Control. If the Surviving Entity does assume,
convert or replace this Option, then in the event the Employee's Termination (i) occurs within the time period beginning six
(6) months immediately before a Change in Control and ending two (2) years immediately following such Change in Control, and
(ii) was initiated by the Company (or the Surviving Entity) for a reason other than Change in Control Cause or was initiated by the
Employee for Change in Control Good Reason, this Option shall become fully vested on the later of the date of the Change in Control and
the date of the Employee's Termination. The provisions of this Section 6 shall supersede Section 13(a)(i) of the
Program.

7. **Recoupment**. Any Benefit granted pursuant to this Program is subject to the terms and conditions of the Abbott Laboratories
Recoupment Policy, the Abbott Laboratories Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, and any other similar Company policies, including any predecessor
and successor policies, each as may be amended and restated from time to time (collectively, the "Policies," and each individually,
the "Policy"). Any Benefit (including Benefits that have vested) shall be subject to any recoupment or clawback that is required
under applicable laws, rules, regulations or stock exchange listing standards. No recovery of compensation as described in this Section 7
will be an event giving rise to the Employee's right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination"
(or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company, a Subsidiary and/or the Employee **.** 

8. **Effect of Certain Bad Acts**. The Option shall be cancelled and forfeited immediately if, in the sole opinion and discretion
of the Committee or its delegate with respect to (a) and (b) or, in the sole opinion and discretion of the Board with respect
to (c), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if Section 6 does not apply, commits a material breach of the terms and conditions of the Employee's employment, including,
but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) material breach by the Employee of the Code of Business Conduct;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) material breach by the Employee of the Employee's employment contract, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) commission by the Employee of an act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with the Employee's duties or in the course
of the Employee's employment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) wrongful disclosure by the Employee of secret processes or confidential information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) failure by the Employee to substantially perform the duties of the Employee's employment (other than any such failure resulting
from the Employee's Disability); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if Section 6 does not apply, to the extent permitted by applicable law, engagement by the Employee, directly or indirectly, for
the benefit of the Employee or others, in any activity, employment or business which is competitive with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if Section 6 does apply, the Employee engages in an activity that is deemed to constitute Change in Control Cause.

9. **No Right to Continued Employment.** This Agreement and the Employee's participation in the Program is not and shall not
be interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Employee's employment at any time.

10. **Nature of Grant**. In accepting this Option grant, the Employee acknowledges that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Program is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or
terminated by the Company at any time;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Option award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, benefits
in lieu of Options, or other Program benefits in the future, even if Options have been granted repeatedly in the past;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All decisions with respect to future Option grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be made by the Committee, in its
sole discretion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and the
Employee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Employee is voluntarily participating in the Program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Option and Shares subject to the Option are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or its Subsidiaries,
and are outside the scope of the Employee's employment contract, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) not part of the Employee's normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating
any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement
or welfare benefits, or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services
for the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The future value of the Shares underlying the Option is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In consideration of this Option award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the Option resulting from
(i) Termination (for any reason whatsoever) and/or (ii) the application of Sections 7 and/or 8 above and the Employee irrevocably
releases the Company and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise; if any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction
to have arisen, then, by signing or electronically accepting this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived the
Employee's entitlement to pursue such claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Option and the Benefits under the Program, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger,
take-over or transfer of liability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the Option, the amount realized upon exercise
of the Option or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, resulting from any fluctuation
of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate.

11. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program. The Employee's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Employee:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs
the Employee (if applicable) will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's
participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures
strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable
laws and regulations in the Employee's country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible
within the Company's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and
operation of the Program and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation,
administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that employs the
Employee (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and
management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Employee may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Employee's participation in the Program.

The Employee may seek to exercise these rights by contacting his or her local human resources manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon request of the Company or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable), the Employee agrees to provide an executed
data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required), as deemed necessary by the Company or the Subsidiary
that employs the Employee (if applicable) for the purpose of administering the Employee's participation in the Program in compliance
with the data privacy laws in the Employee's country, either now or in the future. If the Employee fails to provide any such consent
or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (if applicable) and the Committee or its delegate
determines that the collection, processing and/or transfer of Data without such consent or agreement would violate the laws in the Employee's
country, the Employee understands and agrees that the Employee will not be able to participate in the Program and the Option will be null
and void.

12. **Private Placement.** This Option grant is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Employee's country.
The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise
required under local law), and this Option grant is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

13. **Exchange Controls**. As a condition to this Option grant, the Employee agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange
rules and regulations.

14. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with
the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Shares are listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee's participation in the Program and legally applicable to the
Employee or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Employee even if technically due by the Company
or its Subsidiaries ("Tax-Related Items"), the Employee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items
is and remains the Employee's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The
Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise
of the Option, the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and
the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect
of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Employee's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further,
if the Employee has become subject to tax in more than one (1) jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant
taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related
Items in more than one (1) jurisdiction.

15. **Code Section 409A**. The Option is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Program and
this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that the Option
is subject to Code Section 409A and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the
Company's sole discretion, and without the Employee's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A
or otherwise be exempt from Code Section 409A.

Although this Agreement and the Benefits provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the Benefits provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Employee (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Employee) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Employee may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Employee from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

16. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Option, the Employee's participation in the Program or the Employee's acquisition or sale of the underlying
Shares. The Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

17. **Imposition of Other Requirements**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee's participation
in the Program, on the Option and on any Shares acquired under the Program, to the extent the Company or its Subsidiaries determines it
is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program, and to require the Employee
to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Employee agrees to take any and
all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and
its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Employee's country. In addition, the Employee agrees
to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Employee's personal obligations under local laws, rules and
regulations in the Employee's country.

18. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Employee, the Employee's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

19. **Electronic Delivery**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future
participation in the Program by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees
to participate in the Program through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated
by the Company.

20. **Addendum**. This Option grant shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement
for the Employee's country. Moreover, if the Employee relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms
and conditions for such country will apply to the Employee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and
conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program (or the Company
may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Employee's relocation). The Addendum
constitutes part of this Agreement.

21. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

22. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement, the Program, the Program prospectus, the Program administrative rules, and any applicable
Company policies constitute the entire agreement between the Employee and the Company regarding the Option and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the Option. Except as expressly set forth

***EUROPEAN UNION / EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED KINGDOM***

<u>Data Privacy</u>. The following provision replaces Section 11 of the Agreement in its entirety:

Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, Abbott and the Subsidiary that employs the Employee (the "Employer") hereby notifies the Employee of the following in relation to the Employee's Personal Data (defined below) and the collection, processing and transfer in electronic or other form of such Personal Data in relation to the administration of the Option and the Employee's participation in the Program. The collection, processing and transfer of the Employee's Personal Data is necessary for the legitimate purpose of Abbott and the Employer's administration of the Option and the Employee's participation in the Program, and the Employee's denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of Personal Data may affect the Employee's participation in the Program. As such, by accepting the Option, the Employee acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of Personal Data as described herein.

Abbott and the Employer hold certain personally identifiable information about the Employee, specifically, the Employee's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in Abbott, details of all Options or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee's favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Program ("Personal Data"). The Personal Data may be provided by the Employee or collected, where lawful, from third parties. Abbott or the Employer each act as controllers of the Personal Data and will process the Personal Data in this context for the exclusive legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program and meeting related legal obligations associated with these actions.

The processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures correlated to the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations. Personal Data will be accessible within Abbott's organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and other aspects of the employment relationship and for the Employee's participation in the Program.

Abbott and the Employer will transfer Personal Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Employee's participation in the Program, and Abbott and the Employer may each further transfer Personal Data to third parties assisting Abbott or the Employer in the implementation, administration and management of the Program, including UBS Financial Services Inc. or any successor or other third party that Abbott, the Employer or UBS Financial Services Inc. (or its successor) may engage to assist with the administration of the Program from time to time. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. By participating in the Program, the Employee understands that these recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Personal Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Employee's behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program. The Employee further understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Employee's Personal Data by contacting the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources Department. When transferring Personal Data to these potential recipients, Abbott and the Employer provide appropriate safeguards in accordance with EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally binding and permissible arrangements. The Employee may request a copy of such safeguards from the Employee's local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

To the extent provided by law, the Employee may, at any time, have the right to request: access to Personal Data, rectification of Personal Data, erasure of Personal Data, restriction of processing of Personal Data, and portability of Personal Data. The Employee may also have the right to object, on grounds related to a particular situation, to the processing of Personal Data, as well as opt-out of the Program herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee's human resources manager. The Employee's provision of Personal Data is a contractual requirement. The Employee understands, however, that the only consequence of refusing to provide Personal Data is that Abbott and the Employer may not be able to let the Employee participate in the Program, or grant other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. For more information on the consequences of the Employee's refusal to provide Personal Data, the Employee understands that the Employee may contact his or her local human resources manager or Abbott's human resources department.

When Abbott and the Employer no longer need to use Personal Data for the purposes above or do not need to retain it for compliance with any legal or regulatory purpose, each will take reasonable steps to remove Personal Data from their systems and/or records containing the Personal Data and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that the Employee can no longer be identified from it.

***CHINA***

*The following provisions shall apply to individuals who are subject to the People's Republic of China ("China") exchange control requirements, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion*:

1. <u>Mandatory Full Cashless Exercise</u>. Notwithstanding Section 4 of the Agreement or any other provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the Option may be exercised only by using the cashless method, except as otherwise determined by the Committee. Only full cashless exercise (net proceeds remitted to the Employee in cash) will be permitted. Cash, cashless sell-to-cover, or stock swap methods of exercise are prohibited.

2. <u>Foreign Exchange Control Laws</u>. As a condition of the Option, the Employee understands and agrees that, due to the exchange control laws in China, the Employee will be required to immediately repatriate the cash proceeds resulting from the cashless exercise of the Option to China.

The Employee understands and agrees that the repatriation of dividends and sales proceeds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and the Employee hereby consents and agrees that sales proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired under the Program may be transferred to such account by the Company on the Employee's behalf prior to being delivered to the Employee. The sales proceeds may be paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company's discretion. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in U.S. dollars, the Employee understands that the Employee will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the sales proceeds are paid to the Employee in local currency, the Employee acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the dividends and proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. The Employee agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold and the net proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to the Employee. The Employee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in China in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China. The Employee agrees to be subject to these restrictions even after Termination.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Program or the Agreement, in the event of an Employee's Termination other than due to Retirement, the Employee shall be required to exercise the Option (to the extent outstanding, vested and otherwise permitted under the Agreement) and/or sell all Shares issued pursuant to the Program no later than 90 days after the date of Termination (or such other period as may be required by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE")), and repatriate the sales proceeds to China in the manner designated by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Employee's Termination by reason of Retirement, the Employee shall be required to exercise the Option (to the extent outstanding, vested and otherwise permitted under the Agreement) and/or sell all Shares issued pursuant to the Program no later than 180 days after the date of such Retirement (or such other period as may be required by the SAFE), and repatriate the sales proceeds to China in the manner designated by the Company.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any costs, fees, lost interest or dividends or other losses the Employee may incur or suffer resulting from the enforcement of the terms of this Addendum or otherwise from the Company's operation and enforcement of the Program, the Agreement and the Option in accordance with Chinese law including, without limitation, any applicable SAFE rules, regulations and requirements.

***MEXICO***

1. <u>Commercial Relationship</u>.

The Employee has been granted the Option as a consequence of the commercial relationship between the Company and the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee, and the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico is the Employee's sole employer. Based on the foregoing: (a) the Employee expressly acknowledges that the Program and the benefits derived from participation in the Program do not establish any rights between the Employee and the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee; (b) the Program and the benefits derived from participation in the Program are not part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee; and (c) any modifications or amendments of the Program or benefits granted thereunder by the Company, or a termination of the Program by the Company, shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Employee's employment with the Subsidiary in Mexico.

2. <u>Extraordinary Item of Compensation</u>. The Employee expressly recognizes and acknowledges that the Employee's participation in the Program is a result of the discretionary and unilateral decision of the Company, as well as the Employee's free and voluntary decision to participate in the Program in accord with the terms and conditions of the Program, the Agreement and this Addendum. As such, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend and/or discontinue the Employee's participation in the Program at any time and without any liability.

The Option is not part of the Employee's regular or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits, or any similar payments, which are the exclusive obligations of the Company's Subsidiary in Mexico that employs the Employee.

***NEW ZEALAND***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>.

**Warning**

This is an offer of an Option which, upon exercise and settlement in accordance with the terms of the Program and the Agreement, will be converted into Shares. Shares give you a stake in the ownership of Abbott Laboratories. You may receive a return if dividends are paid.

If Abbott Laboratories runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, you will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares have been paid. You may lose some or all of your investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share purchase scheme. As a result, you may not be given all the information usually required. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.

Prior to the exercise and settlement of the Option, you will not have any rights of ownership (e.g., voting or dividend rights) with respect to the underlying Shares.

No interest in any Option may be transferred (legally or beneficially), assigned, mortgaged, charged or encumbered.

The Shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. This means that if you acquire Shares under the Program, you may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. You may get less than you invested. The price will depend on the demand for the Shares.

You also are hereby notified that the documents listed below are available for review on sites at the web addresses listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Abbott Laboratories' most recent Annual Report (Form 10-K): <u>https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=abt&owner=exclude&action=getcompany&Find=Search</u>

Only full cashless exercise (net proceeds remitted to the Employee in cash) will be permitted. Cash, cashless sell-to-cover, or stock swap methods of exercise are prohibited.

2. <u>Repatriation Requirements</u>.

3. <u>Exchange Control Obligations</u>. To the extent applicable, the Employee is required to comply with certain consent and reporting requirements to the State Bank of Pakistan (Pakistan's central bank) under the exchange control laws of Pakistan. As the exchange control regulations can change frequently and at times, without notice, the Employee should consult his or her legal advisor prior to exercising an Option or selling Shares under the Program to ensure compliance with current regulations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from the Employee's failure to comply with applicable laws.

***PANAMA***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>. Neither the Option nor the Shares that the Employee may acquire under the Program constitute a public offering of securities, as they are available only to eligible employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

***PHILIPPINES***

<u>Securities Law Notice</u>. As the offer of Shares under the Program is exempt from the securities registration requirement under Section 10.2 of the Philippine Securities Regulation Code ("SRC"), the Shares have not been registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission under the SRC.

The Employee should be aware of the risks of participating in the Program, including, but not limited to, the risk of fluctuation in the price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange and the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the Employee's local currency. In this regard, the Employee should be aware that the value of any Shares acquired under the Program may decrease after the Shares are issued and fluctuations in currency exchange rates between the Employee's local currency and the U.S. Dollar may affect the value of the any amounts due to the Employee upon exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired under the Program. The Company is not making any representations, projections or assurances regarding the value of the Shares now or in the future.

Further information on risk factors impacting the Company's business that may affect the value of the Shares may be found in the discussion in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and available online at www.sec.gov as well as on the Company's website at www.abbott.com/investors.html.

The Employee understands that the Employee is permitted to sell Shares acquired under the Program through the designated Program broker appointed by the Company (or such other broker to whom the Employee may transfer the Shares), provided that such sale takes place outside of the Philippines through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange, on which the Shares are listed*.*

Accordingly, statutory liability under the SFA in relation to the content of the prospectuses would not apply. The Employee should note that, as a result, the Option is subject to section 257 of the SFA and the Employee will not be able to make: (a) any subsequent sale of the Shares in Singapore; or (b) any offer of such subsequent sale of the Shares subject to the Option in Singapore, unless such sale or offer is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division 1 Subdivision (4) (other

than section 280) of the SFA.

***UNITED KINGDOM***

1. <u>Payment of Taxes</u>. The following provision supplements Section 4(c) of the Agreement.

The Employee agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Employee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay on the Employee's behalf to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), he or she would not be eligible to have the Company or the Employer cover any income tax liability on his or her behalf. In this case, any income tax not collected from or paid by the Employee within 90 days after the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax liability occurred (or such other period specified in U.K. law) will constitute a benefit to the Employee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") will be payable. The Employee will be responsible for paying and reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or the Employer (as applicable) the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Employee by any of the means referred to in Section 4(c) of the Agreement.

2. <u>Exclusion of Claim</u>. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Employee will have no entitlement to compensation or damages insofar as such entitlement arises or may arise from the Employee's ceasing to have rights under or to be entitled to exercise the Option, whether or not as a result of Termination (whether the Termination is in breach of contract or otherwise), or from the loss or diminution in value of the Option. Upon the grant of the Option, the Employee shall be deemed to have waived irrevocably any such entitlement.

The Award is granted under the Program and is subject to the provisions of the Program, the Program prospectus, the Program administrative rules, applicable Company policies, and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency among the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Program, the Program prospectus, and the Program administrative rules, the Program shall control.

The terms and conditions of the Award are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **Definitions**. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Agreement*: This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Data*: Certain personal information about the Director held by the Company and the Subsidiary for which the Director provides

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Delivery Date and Shareholder Rights**. The "Delivery Date" for Shares underlying the Units is the date on which
the Shares are payable to the Director pursuant to Section 4 below. Prior to the Delivery Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Director shall not be treated as a shareholder as to those Shares underlying the Units, and shall have only a contractual right
to receive Shares, unsecured by any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Director shall not be permitted to vote the Shares underlying the Units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Director's right to receive such Shares will be subject to the adjustment provisions relating to mergers, reorganizations,

The Director shall receive cash payments equal to the dividends and distributions paid on Shares underlying the Units (the "Dividend Equivalents") (other than dividends or distributions of securities of the Company which may be issued with respect to its Shares by virtue of any stock split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization) to the same extent and on the same date (or as soon as practicable thereafter) as if each Unit were a Share; provided, however, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Director with respect to dividends or distributions the record date for which occurs on or after the date the Director has forfeited the Units, or the date the Units are settled. For purposes of compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, the specified date for payment of any Dividend Equivalents to which the Director is entitled under this Section 2 is the calendar year during the term of this Agreement in which the associated dividends or distributions are paid on Shares underlying the Units. The Director shall have no right to determine the year in which Dividend Equivalents will be paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Restrictions**. The Units shall be fully vested as of the Grant Date; provided, however, that the Units will be subject to subsections
(3)(a), (b), and (c) below (collectively, the "Restrictions") until the Units are settled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Units may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any additional Shares or other securities or property issued with respect to Shares covered by the Units as a result of any stock
split, combination, stock dividend or recapitalization, shall be subject to the Restrictions and other provisions of the Program and this
Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Director shall not be entitled to receive any Shares prior to completion of all actions deemed appropriate by the Company to comply
with federal, state or other applicable securities laws and stock exchange requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Lapse of Restrictions**. The Restrictions shall lapse and have no further force or effect and Shares underlying the Units shall
be settled upon the earlier of the following events (each, a "Delivery Date"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Termination Event*. The date of the Director's Termination; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Change in Control*. The date of occurrence of a Change in Control; provided that the event constituting a Change in Control
is a "change in control event" as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Director to remit, any federal, state, local,
and other applicable taxes (in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions), including income, social security and Medicare withholding taxes arising
from the grant of the Award, the lapse of Restrictions or the delivery of Shares pursuant to this Agreement by, without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Units back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Units and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Director; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) requiring the Director to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Director's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Director is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Units that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Director, the Director shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **No Right to Continued Service**. This Agreement and the Director's participation in the Program is not and shall not be
interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form a contractual or other relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Director any right to continue in the service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Director's service at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Awards or other Program
Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and
the Director. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Director's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Director's participation in the Program. The Director's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Director:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Director's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Director's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Director may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Director or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company will process the Data for the
exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Director's participation in the Program. Data processing will
take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which
the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Director's
country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such operations
are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible within the Company's organization only by those
persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and for the Director's
participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Director's
participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that served by the Director (if applicable) may further transfer Data
to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Program. These recipients may be
located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Director may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Director's participation in the Program.

The Director may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the Company's corporate human resources department.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [For California residents]
 In the course of administering the Program, the Company collects Director Data that identifies,
 relates to, describes or is capable of being associated with a particular Director and does
 not sell or share Director Data with third parties for monetary value or cross contextual
 behavioral advertising. The Company's Privacy Notice to California residents can be
 found at: <u>https://www.abbott.com/privacy-policy.html</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Units, the Director's participation in the Program or the Director's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Director is hereby advised to consult with the Director's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Director and the Company regarding
the Award and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the
Award. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified,
or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by
a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Director, the Director's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant
to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements
or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's
Shares are listed. Furthermore, if the Director relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternative terms and
conditions as necessary or advisable to comply with local law, facilitate the administration of the Program, and/or accommodate the Director's
relocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Code Section 409A**. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with
the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted
in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A
and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and
without the Director's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from
Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Director shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Director has incurred a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Director's Termination shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Director's Termination (or upon the Director's death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Director is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Director (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Director) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Director may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Director from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Director, the Director's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **Venue**. For any legal action relating to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the federal courts of the Northern District of Illinois, USA, and, if there is no jurisdiction in federal court, to the exclusive

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any additional Shares or other securities or property issued with respect to Shares covered by the Units as a result of any stock

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Termination Event*. The date of the Director's Termination; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Change in Control*. The date of occurrence of a Change in Control; provided that the event constituting a Change in Control
is a "change in control event" as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Withholding Taxes**. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Director to remit, any federal, state, local,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) tendering Shares received in connection with the Units back to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) delivering other previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value approximately equal to the amount to be withheld;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Units and having the Company withhold from proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Director; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) requiring the Director to repay the Company or Subsidiary, in cash or in Shares, for taxes paid on the Director's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Director is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Units that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Director, the Director shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Units, subject to the Restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **No Right to Continued Service**. This Agreement and the Director's participation in the Program is not and shall not be

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Director any right to continue in the service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Director's service at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **No Contract as of Right**. The Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional Awards or other Program
Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company and
the Director. Future Awards, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Director's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Director's participation in the Program. The Director's
denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the
Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Director:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing,
administering and managing the Director's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be
required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Director's behalf to a broker or other
third party with whom the Director may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Data may be provided by the Director or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company will process the Data for the
exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Director's participation in the Program. Data processing will
take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which
the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Director's
country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such operations
are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible within the Company's organization only by those
persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and for the Director's
participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Director's
participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that served by the Director (if applicable) may further transfer Data
to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Program. These recipients may be
located throughout the world.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Director may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Director's participation in the Program.

The Director may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the Company's corporate human resources department.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon request of the Company or the Subsidiary that the Director provides services for (if applicable), the Director agrees to provide
an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required), as deemed necessary by the Company or
the Subsidiary that that the Director provides services for (if applicable) for the purpose of administering the Director's participation
in the Program in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Director's country, either now or in the future. If the Director
fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Subsidiary that the Director provides services for
(if applicable) and the Committee or its delegate determines that the collection, processing and/or transfer of Data without such consent
or agreement would violate the laws in the Director's country, the Director understands and agrees that the Director will not be
able to participate in the Program and the Award will be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **Form of Payment**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the Director's Units in the form of a cash payment
to the extent settlement in Shares: (i) is prohibited under local law; (ii) would require the Director, the Company and/or its
Subsidiaries to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Director's country; (iii) would result
in adverse tax consequences for the Director or the Company; or (iv) is administratively burdensome. Alternatively, the Company may,
in its sole discretion, settle the Director's Units in the form of Shares but require the Director to sell such Shares immediately
or within a specified period of time following the Director's Termination (in which case, this Agreement shall give the Company
the authority to issue sales instructions on the Director's behalf).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Private Placement**. The grant of this Unit is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Director's country.
The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise
required under local law), and this grant of Units is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Exchange Controls**. As a condition to this grant of Units, the Director agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange
rules and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Exchange Rate Fluctuations**. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the
Units, the amount realized upon settlement of the Units or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement
of the Units, resulting from any fluctuation of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with
the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Shares are listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Director's participation in the Program and legally applicable to the
Director or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Director even if technically due by the Company
or its Subsidiaries ("Tax-Related Items"), the Director acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items
is and remains the Director's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The
Director further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, lapse of Restrictions
or settlement of the Units, the issuance of Shares upon payment of the Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such
issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation
to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate the Director's liability for Tax-Related Items
or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Director has become subject to tax in more than one (1) jurisdiction between
the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Director acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be
required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one (1) jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Code Section 409A**. Payments made pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with
the provisions of Code Section 409A to the extent applicable. The Program and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted
in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that any payments under this Agreement are subject to Code Section 409A
and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the Company's sole discretion, and
without the Director's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise be exempt from
Code Section 409A.

To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A and applicable guidance issued thereunder, the Director shall not be deemed to have had a Termination unless the Director has incurred a "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h), and amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Director's Termination shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Director's Termination (or upon the Director's death, if earlier). For purposes of Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable, all payments provided hereunder shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and each separately identified amount to which the Director is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment.

Although this Agreement and the payments provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the payments provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Director (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Director) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Director may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Director from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Units, the Director's participation in the Program or the Director's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.
The Director is hereby advised to consult with the Director's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Imposition of Other Requirements**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Director's participation
in the Program, on the Units and on any Shares acquired under the Program, to the extent the Company or its Subsidiaries determines it
is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program, and to require the Director
to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Director agrees to take any and
all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and
its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Director's country. In addition, the Director agrees
to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Director's personal obligations under local laws, rules and
regulations in the Director's country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Director, the Director's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Award have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Electronic Delivery**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future
participation in the Program by electronic means. The Director hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees
to participate in the Program through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated
by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Addendum**. This grant of Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement
for the Director's country. Moreover, if the Director relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum (if any), the special
terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Director, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms
and conditions is necessary or advisable to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program (or the Company may
establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Director's relocation). Any such
Addendum shall constitute part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Director and the Company regarding

not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. Any attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition
of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any attachment or similar process upon such Option, shall be null and
void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Method of Exercise*. The Option may be exercised only by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) delivery to the designated employee or agent of the Company of a written, electronic, or telephonic notice of exercise, specifying
the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is then being exercised, and payment of the full Exercise Price of the Shares being
purchased in cash or with other Shares held by the Director having a then Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) delivery of a properly-executed exercise notice together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to
the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Exercise Price;

Each method of exercise requires payment of the full amount of any federal, state, local or other applicable taxes which the Company believes are required to be withheld and paid with respect to such exercise, as described below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Payment of Taxes*. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or require the Director to remit, any federal, state, local, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) having the Company withhold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) selling Shares issued pursuant to the Option and having the Company withhold from the proceeds of the sale of such Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) having the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, withhold from any cash compensation payable to the Director; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Director is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated thereunder, any tax withholding obligations shall be satisfied by having the Company withhold a number of Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Option that is sufficient to satisfy such obligations consistent with the Company's withholding practices.

If, to satisfy tax withholding obligations, the Company withholds Shares otherwise issuable to the Director, the Director shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares underlying the Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **No Right to Continued Service**. This Agreement and the Director's participation in the Program is not and shall not be
interpreted to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) form a contractual relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) confer upon the Director any right to continue in the service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) interfere with the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the Director's service at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **No Contract as of Right**. The grant of an Option under the Program does not create any contractual or other right to receive
additional Options or other Program Benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual
obligations between the Company and the Director. Future Option grants, if any, and their terms and conditions, will be at the sole discretion
of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Data Privacy**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Director's personal Data
is necessary for the Company's administration of the Program and the Director's participation in the Program. The Director's

Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Director:

administering and managing the Director's participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be

exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Director's participation in the Program. Data processing will
take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which
the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Director's
country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such operations
are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible within the Company's organization only by those
persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and for the Director's
participation in the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Director's
participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that served by the Director (if applicable) may further transfer Data
to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Program. These recipients may be

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Director may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include
the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Director's participation in the Program.

The Director may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the Company's corporate human resources department.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [For California residents]

to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements
or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's
Shares are listed. Furthermore, if the Director relocates to another country, the Company may establish special or alternative terms and
conditions as necessary or advisable to comply with local law, facilitate the administration of the Program, and/or accommodate the Director's

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation,
administration and/or operation of the Program and the Director's participation in the Program.

The Director may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the Company's corporate human resources department.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon request of the Company or the Subsidiary that the Director provides services for (if applicable), the Director agrees to provide
an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents that may be required), as deemed necessary by the Company or
the Subsidiary that that the Director provides services for (if applicable) for the purpose of administering the Director's participation
in the Program in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Director's country, either now or in the future. If the Director
fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Subsidiary that the Director provides services for
(if applicable) and the Committee or its delegate determines that the collection, processing and/or transfer of Data without such consent
or agreement would violate the laws in the Director's country, the Director understands and agrees that the Director will not be
able to participate in the Program and the Option will be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Private Placement**. This Option grant is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Director's country.
The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise
required under local law), and this Option grant is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **Exchange Controls**. As a condition to this Option grant, the Director agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange
rules and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Exchange Rate Fluctuations**. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the
Option, the amount realized upon exercise of the Option or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon exercise
of the Option, resulting from any fluctuation of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities and other laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with
the rules and practices of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Shares are listed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Regardless of any action the Company or its Subsidiaries take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Director's participation in the Program and legally applicable to the
Director or deemed by the Company or its Subsidiaries to be an appropriate charge to the Director even if technically due by the Company
or its Subsidiaries ("Tax-Related Items"), the Director acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items
is and remains the Director's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The
Director further acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries: (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise
of the Option, the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and
the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect
of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Director's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further,
if the Director has become subject to tax in more than one (1) jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant
taxable event, the Director acknowledges that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related
Items in more than one (1) jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Code Section 409A**. The Option is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Program and
this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that the Option
is subject to Code Section 409A and this Agreement fails to comply with that section's requirements, the Company may, at the
Company's sole discretion, and without the Director's consent, amend this Agreement to cause it to comply with Code Section 409A
or otherwise be exempt from Code Section 409A.

Although this Agreement and the Benefits provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement or the Benefits provided hereunder will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to the Director (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Director) for any tax, interest, or penalties the Director may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect the Director from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **No Advice Regarding Grant**. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations
regarding the Option, the Director's participation in the Program or the Director's acquisition or sale of the underlying
Shares. The Director is hereby advised to consult with the Director's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation
in the Program before taking any action related to the Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Imposition of Other Requirements**. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Director's participation
in the Program, on the Option and on any Shares acquired under the Program, to the extent the Company or its Subsidiaries determines it
is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Program, and to require the Director
to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. The Director agrees to take any and
all actions, and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as may be required to allow the Company and
its Subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Director's country. In addition, the Director agrees
to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Director's personal obligations under local laws, rules and
regulations in the Director's country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Determinations**. Each decision, determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement by the Company, the Committee or any delegate of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon
all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the Director, the Director's Representative, and the person or persons
to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. **Electronic Delivery**. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future
participation in the Program by electronic means. The Director hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees
to participate in the Program through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated
by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. **Addendum**. This Option grant shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Addendum to this Agreement
for the Director's country. Any such Addendum shall constitute part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. **Severability**. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent
permitted by law. To the extent a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such
provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement and the Program constitute the entire agreement between the Director and the Company regarding
the Option and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties regarding the
Option. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (and any provision of this Agreement) may not be modified, changed, clarified,
or interpreted by the parties, except in a writing specifying the modification, change, clarification, or interpretation, and signed by
a duly authorized Company officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **Succession**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and operate for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns,
and the Director, the Director's Representative, and the person or persons to whom rights under the Option have passed by will or
the laws of descent or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. **Language**. If the Director has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Program translated into a language
other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. State of Illinois
without giving effect to any state's conflict of laws principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. **Venue.** For any legal action relating to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the federal courts of the Northern District of Illinois, USA, and, if there is no jurisdiction in federal court, to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of the state courts in Lake County, Illinois, USA.
