 NOW, THEREFORE, as required by the Note Purchase
Agreement and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor does hereby covenant and agree, jointly and severally, intending to be legally
bound as follows: 
  

	SECTION 1.	DEFINITIONS. 

 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in
the Note Purchase Agreement unless herein defined or the context shall otherwise require. 
  

	SECTION 2.	GUARANTY OF NOTES AND NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT. 

(a)    Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2(b) hereof and to the provisions of
Section 13 hereof, each Guarantor jointly and severally does hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantee unto the Holders: (1) the full and prompt payment of the principal of,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, Net Loss, if any, and interest, taking into account Net Gain, if any, on the Notes from time to time outstanding, as and when such payments shall become due and payable whether by
lapse of time, upon redemption or prepayment, by extension or by acceleration or declaration or otherwise (including (to the extent legally enforceable) interest due on overdue payments of principal,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, Net Loss, if any, and interest, taking into account Net Gain, if any, or interest at the rate set forth in the Notes and interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the
Notes after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) in the applicable currency as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, (2) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Company of each and all of
the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or owed by the Company under the terms of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement and (3) the full and prompt payment, upon demand by any Holder, of all reasonable actual out
of pocket costs and expenses, legal or otherwise (including attorneys’ fees), if any, as shall have been expended or incurred in the protection or enforcement of any rights, privileges or liabilities in favor of the Holders under or in respect
of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or under this Guaranty or in any consultation or action in connection therewith or herewith and in each and every case irrespective of the validity, regularity, or enforcement of any of the Notes or the Note
Purchase Agreement or any of the terms thereof or any other like circumstance or circumstances, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement. 

(b)    The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not exceed an amount equal to a maximum amount as will,
after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other 

  
 2 

 
liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, result in the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder not constituting a fraudulent transfer, obligation or conveyance. 

 

	SECTION 3.	GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. 

This is a guaranty of payment and performance and each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to require
that any action on or in respect of any Note or the Note Purchase Agreement be brought against the Company or any other Person or that resort be had to any direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. Any
Holder may, at its option, proceed hereunder against any Guarantor in the first instance to collect monies when due, the payment of which is guaranteed hereby, without first proceeding against the Company or any other Person and without first
resorting to any direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected or impaired by any acceptance by any Holder of any direct or indirect security
for, or other guaranties of, any Debt, liability or obligation of the Company or any other Person to any Holder or by any failure, delay, neglect or omission by any Holder to realize upon or protect any such guaranties, Debt, liability or obligation
or any notes or other instruments evidencing the same or any direct or indirect security therefor or by any approval, consent, waiver, or other action taken, or omitted to be taken by any such Holder. 

The covenants and agreements on the part of the Guarantors herein contained shall take effect as joint and several covenants and agreements,
and references to the Guarantors shall take effect as references to each of them and none of them shall be released from liability hereunder by reason of the guaranty ceasing to be binding as a continuing security on any other of them. 

 

	SECTION 4.	GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE GUARANTY. 

(a)    Each Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that any Holder or Holders from time to time, with or without any further
notice to or assent from any other Guarantor may, without in any manner affecting the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and upon such terms and conditions as any such Holder or Holders may deem advisable: 

(1)    extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise), modify, change, compromise, release or extend
the duration of the time for the performance or payment of any Debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any Debt, liability or obligations of the Company on the Notes, or waive any
Default with respect thereto, or waive, modify, amend or change any provision of any other agreement or this Guaranty; or 

(2)    sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange or substitute any and all property, of any nature
and from whomsoever received, held by, or for the benefit of, any such Holder as direct or indirect security for the payment or performance of any Debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable
for any Debt, liability or obligation of the Company on the Notes; or 

  
 3 

 (3)    settle, adjust or compromise any claim of the Company
against any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any Debt, liability or obligation of the Company on the Notes. 
 Each
Guarantor hereby ratifies and confirms any such extension, renewal, change, sale, release, waiver, surrender, exchange, modification, amendment, impairment, substitution, settlement, adjustment or compromise and that the same shall be binding upon
it, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which it might or could have by reason thereof, it being understood that such Guarantor shall at all times be bound by this Guaranty and
remain liable hereunder. 
 (b)    Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law: 

(1)    notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Holders or of the creation, renewal or accrual of any
liability of the Company, present or future, or of the reliance of such Holders upon this Guaranty (it being understood that every Debt, liability and obligation described in Section 2 hereof shall conclusively be presumed
to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon the execution of this Guaranty); 

(2)    demand of payment by any Holder from the Company or any other Person indebted in any manner on or
for any of the Debt, liabilities or obligations hereby guaranteed; and 
 (3)    presentment for the
payment by any Holder or any other Person of the Notes or any other instrument, protest thereof and notice of its dishonor to any party thereto and to such Guarantor. 

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty and the rights of any Holder to enforce such obligations by any proceedings, whether by
action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination (other than by payment in full of the Notes and the obligations of the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement), whether by
reason of any claim of any character whatsoever or otherwise and shall not be subject to any defense, set-off, counterclaim (other than any compulsory counterclaim), recoupment or termination whatsoever. 

(c)    Subject to Section 13 hereof, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be
binding upon the Guarantors and their successors and assigns, and shall remain in full force and effect until the entire principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, Net Loss, if any, and interest, taking into
account Net Gain, if any, on the Notes and all other sums due pursuant to Section 2 shall have been paid and such obligations shall not be affected, modified or impaired upon the happening from time to time of any event,
including without limitation any of the following, whether or not with notice to or the consent of the Guarantors: 

(1)    the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or
any other agreement or any of the terms of any thereof, the continuance of any obligation on the part of the Company, any other Guarantors or any

other Person on or in respect of the Notes or under the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or the power or authority or the lack of power or authority of the Company to issue the
Notes or the Company to execute and deliver the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or of any other Guarantors to execute and deliver this Guaranty or any other agreement or to perform any of its obligations hereunder or the existence or
continuance of the Company or any other Person as a legal entity; or 
 (2)    any default, failure or
delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance by the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person of any obligations of any kind or character whatsoever under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement; or

 (3)    any creditors’ rights, bankruptcy, receivership or other insolvency proceeding of the
Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or in respect of the property of the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any merger, consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, the sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of or winding up of the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or 

(4)    impossibility or illegality of performance on the part of the Company, any other Guarantor or any
other Person of its obligations under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreements; or 

(5)    in respect of the Company, any other Guarantors or any other Person, any change of circumstances,
whether or not foreseen or foreseeable, whether or not imputable to the Company, any other Guarantors or any other Person, or other impossibility of performance through fire, explosion, accident, labor disturbance, floods, droughts, embargoes, wars
(whether or not declared), civil commotion, acts of God or the public enemy, delays or failure of suppliers or carriers, inability to obtain materials, action of any Federal or state regulatory body or agency, change of law or any other causes
affecting performance, or any other force majeure, whether or not beyond the control of the Company, any other Guarantors or any other Person and whether or not of the kind hereinbefore specified; or 

(6)    any attachment, claim, demand, charge, Lien, order, process, encumbrance or any other happening or
event or reason, similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, or any withholding or diminution at the source, by reason of any taxes, assessments, expenses, Debt, obligations or liabilities of any character, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not
valid, incurred by or against the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person or any claims, demands, charges or Liens of any nature, foreseen or unforeseen, incurred by the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person, or against any sums payable in
respect of the Notes or under the Note Purchase Agreement or this Guaranty, so that such sums would be rendered inadequate or would be unavailable to make the payments herein provided; or 

(7)    any order, judgment, decree, ruling or regulation (whether or not valid) of any court of any nation
or of any political subdivision thereof or any body, agency, 

  
 5 

 
department, official or administrative or regulatory agency of any thereof or any other action, happening, event or reason whatsoever which shall delay, interfere with, hinder or prevent, or in
any way adversely affect, the performance by the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person of its respective obligations under or in respect of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement; or 

(8)    the failure of any Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its execution, delivery
and performance of this Guaranty; or 
 (9)    any failure or lack of diligence in collection or
protection, failure in presentment or demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of default and of nonpayment, any failure to give notice to any Guarantor of failure of the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person to keep and perform
any obligation, covenant or agreement under the terms of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement or failure to resort for payment to the Company, any other Guarantor or to any other Person or to any other
guaranty or to any property, security, Liens or other rights or remedies; or 
 (10)    the acceptance of
any additional security or other guaranty, the advance of additional money to the Company or any other Person, the renewal or extension of the Notes or amendments, modifications, consents or waivers with respect to the Notes, the Note Purchase
Agreement or any other agreement, or the sale, release, substitution or exchange of any security for the Notes; or 

(11)    any merger or consolidation of the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person into or with
any other Person or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any of the assets of the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person to any other Person, or any change in the ownership of any shares of the Company, any other Guarantor or
any other Person; or 
 (12)    any defense whatsoever that: (i) the Company or any other Person
might have to the payment of the Notes (principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, Net Loss, if any, and interest, taking into account Net Gain, if any), other than payment thereof in Federal or other immediately
available funds, or (ii) the Company or any other Person might have to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement, whether through the satisfaction or purported
satisfaction by the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person of its debts due to any cause such as bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, merger, consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation,
winding-up or otherwise, other than the defense of indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Notes; or 

(13)    any act or failure to act with regard to the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or
any other agreement or anything which might vary the risk of any Guarantor or any other Person; or 

  
 6 

 (14)    any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the obligations of any Guarantor or other Person under this Guaranty or any other agreement, other than the defense of indefeasible payment in full
in cash of the Notes; 
 provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or
omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Guaranty and the parties hereto that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except pursuant to Section 13 hereof and by the payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, Net Loss, if
any, and interest, taking into account Net Gain, if any, on the Notes in accordance with their respective terms whenever the same shall become due and payable as in the Notes provided and all other sums due and payable under the Note Purchase
Agreement, at the place specified in and all in the manner and with the effect provided in the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement, as each may be amended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that
repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Company shall default under or in respect of the terms of the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement and that notwithstanding recovery
hereunder for or in respect of any given default or defaults by the Company under the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent default. 

(d)    All rights of any Holder may be transferred or assigned at any time and shall be considered to be transferred or
assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of such Note in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement whether with or without the consent of or notice to the Guarantors under this Guaranty or to the Company. 

(e)    To the extent of any payments made under this Guaranty, the Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the
Holder or Holders upon whose Notes such payment was made, but each Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior indefeasible final payment in cash in full of all
amounts due and owing by the Company with respect to the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement and by the Guarantors under this Guaranty, and the Guarantors shall not take any action to enforce such right of subrogation, and the Guarantors shall not
accept any payment in respect of such right of subrogation, until all amounts due and owing by the Company under or in respect of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement and all amounts due and owing by the Guarantors hereunder have indefeasibly
been finally paid in cash in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the indefeasible payment in cash in full (or other satisfaction agreed to by the Holders) of the Notes and
all other amounts payable under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement and this Guaranty, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders and shall, except to the extent the Holders have received payment, promptly be paid to the
Holders to be credited and applied to the amounts due or to become due with respect to the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Note Purchase Agreement and this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has
received direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements 

  
 7 

 
contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this paragraph (e) is knowingly made as a result of the receipt of such benefits. 

(f)    To the extent of any payments made under this Guaranty, each Guarantor making such payment shall have a right of
contribution from the other Guarantors, but such Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of contribution shall be subordinate in right of payment to the rights of the Holders for which full payment has not been made or provided for and, to
that end, such Guarantor agrees not to claim or enforce any such right of contribution unless and until all of the Notes and all other sums due and payable under the Note Purchase Agreement have been fully and irrevocably paid and discharged. 

(g)    Each Guarantor agrees that to the extent the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person makes any payment on
any Note, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered, rescinded, or otherwise defeased or is required to be retained by or repaid to a trustee, receiver, or
any other Person under any bankruptcy code, common law, or equitable cause, then and to the extent of such payment, the obligation or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect with respect to
the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, as if said payment had not been made. The liability of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced or discharged, in whole or in part, by any payment to any Holder from any source that is thereafter
paid, returned or refunded in whole or in part by reason of the assertion of a claim of any kind relating thereto, including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty, preference, illegality, invalidity, or fraud
asserted by any account debtor or by any other Person. 
 (h)    No Holder shall be under any obligation: (1) to
marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantors or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Company under or in respect of the Notes or the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder or (2) to pursue any other remedy that the Guarantors
may or may not be able to pursue themselves and that may lighten the Guarantors’ burden, any right to which each Guarantor hereby expressly waives. 

(i)    The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty rank pari passu in right of payment with all
other Debt of such Guarantor which is not secured or which is not expressly subordinated in right of payment to any other unsecured Debt of such Guarantor. 
  

	SECTION 5.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE GUARANTORS. 

Each Guarantor represents and warrants to each Purchaser that: 

(a)    Such Guarantor is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (if
applicable) under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, except as would not reasonably be expected to materially affect the Consolidated Group as a whole, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on (1) the business, 

  
 8 

 operations, affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, (2) the ability of such Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty, or (3) the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty. Such Guarantor has the power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it
purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform the provisions hereof, except as would not reasonably be expected to materially affect the
Consolidated Group as a whole. 
 (b)    This Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of
such Guarantor, and upon execution and delivery of this Guaranty and of the Note Purchase Agreement and receipt of consideration for the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes, this Guaranty will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of
such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (1) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and (2) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

(c)    The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty will not (1) contravene, result in
any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of such Guarantor under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter, memorandum
of association, articles of association or by-laws, or any other Material agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor is bound or by which such Guarantor or any of its properties may be bound or affected,
(2) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or (3) violate any provision of
any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor. 
 (d)    No
consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority by the Guarantor is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty. 

(e)    Such Guarantor on a consolidated basis has capital not unreasonably small in relation to its business or any
contemplated or undertaken transaction and has assets having a value both at fair valuation and at present fair salable value greater than the amount required to pay its debts as they become due and greater than the amount that will be required to
pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured. Such Guarantor does not intend to incur or believe that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due. Such Guarantor will not be
rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligations under, this Guaranty. Such Guarantor does not intend to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors by or through the execution and delivery of, or performance of its
obligations under, this Guaranty. 

  
 9 

	SECTION 6.	GUARANTOR COVENANTS. 

 From and after the date hereof and
continuing so long as any amount on the Notes remains unpaid each Guarantor agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5 of the Note Purchase Agreement, insofar as
such provisions apply to such Guarantor, as if such provisions referred to such Guarantor. 
  

	SECTION 7.	PAYMENTS FREE AND CLEAR OF TAXES. 

(a)    All payments under this Guaranty will be made by each Guarantor in lawful currency of the United States of America,
Euros, or Pounds Sterling, as applicable, free and clear of, and without liability for withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction other than the
United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from or through which payments are made (hereinafter a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the withholding or deduction of such tax is compelled
by law. 
 (b)    If any deduction or withholding for any tax of a Taxing Jurisdiction shall at any time be required by
law in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Guarantors under this Guaranty, the Guarantors will pay to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction the full amount required to be withheld, deducted or otherwise paid before penalties attach thereto or
interest accrues thereon and will pay to each Holder such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty after such deduction, withholding or payment (including any
required deduction or withholding of tax on or with respect to such additional amount), shall be not less than the amounts then due and payable to such Holder under the terms of this Guaranty before the assessment of such tax, provided that
no payment of any additional amounts shall be required to be made for or on account of: 
 (i)    any tax
that would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member of, shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate,
trust, partnership or corporation or any Person other than the Holder to whom the Notes or any amount payable thereon is attributable for the purposes of such tax) and the Taxing Jurisdiction, other than the mere holding of the relevant Note or the
receipt of payments thereunder or in respect thereof or the exercise of remedies in respect thereof, including such Holder (or such other Person described in the above parenthetical) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof, or being or
having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had an establishment, office, fixed base or branch therein, provided that this exclusion shall not apply with respect to a tax that would not have been imposed
but for a Guarantor, after the date of this Agreement, opening an office in, moving an office to, reincorporating in, or changing the Taxing Jurisdiction from or through which payments on account of this Guaranty are made to the Taxing Jurisdiction
imposing the relevant tax; 
 (ii)    any estate, inheritance, gift, transfer, sales, excise, personal
property, wealth, personal property or similar taxes imposed with respect to the Notes; 

  
 10 

 (iii)    any tax imposed otherwise than by withholding from
payments under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes or this Guaranty; 
 (iv)    any tax that would not
have been imposed but for the delay or failure by such Holder in delivering to the Company in a timely manner (following a written request by the Company) and, if applicable, in the filing with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in a timely manner
such properly completed Forms (as defined below) as are required or permitted to be so delivered or filed by such Holder to avoid or reduce such taxes (including for such purpose any refilings or resubmissions or renewals of filings or submissions
that may from time to time be required by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction), provided that the filing of such Forms would not result in any confidential and proprietary income tax return information being revealed, either directly or
indirectly, to any Person and such delay or failure could have been lawfully avoided by such Holder, and provided further that such Holder shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this clause (b)(iv) upon the proper
completion and submission of such Forms (including refiling or renewals of filings) as may be specified in a written request of the Company no later than 60 days after receipt by such Holder of such written request; 

(v)    any taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA; or 

(vi)    any combination of clauses (i) through (v) above; 

provided further that in no event shall a Guarantor be obligated to pay such additional amounts to any Holder (i) not resident in the
United States of America in excess of the amounts that the Guarantor would be obligated to pay if such Holder had been a resident of the United States of America for purposes of, and eligible for the benefits of, any double taxation treaty from time
to time in effect between the United States of America and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (ii) registered in the name of a nominee if under the law of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (or the current regulatory interpretation of such law)
securities held in the name of a nominee do not qualify for an exemption from the relevant tax and the Guarantor shall have given timely notice of such law or interpretation to such Holder. 

(c)    By acceptance of any Note, the Holder agrees, subject to the limitations of clause (b) above, that it will
from time to time with reasonable promptness (x) duly complete and deliver in a timely manner to or as reasonably directed by the Company all such forms, certificates, documents, declarations, identification and returns (collectively,
“Forms”) required or permitted to be filed or submitted by or on behalf of such Holder in order to avoid or reduce any such tax pursuant to the provisions of an applicable statute, regulation or administrative practice
of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or to claim the benefit of an applicable tax treaty or (y) provide the Company with such information with respect to such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in order to complete any such Forms,
provided that nothing in this Section 6(c) shall require any Holder to provide information with respect to any such Form or otherwise if such Form or disclosure of information would involve the disclosure of confidential and
proprietary income tax return information of such Holder, and provided further that each such Holder shall be deemed to have complied with its obligation under this paragraph with respect to any Form if such Form shall have been duly
completed and delivered by such Holder 

  
 11 

 
to the Company or mailed to the appropriate taxing authority (which in the case of a United Kingdom HM Revenue and Customs Form US-Company 2002 or any
similar Form shall be deemed to occur when such Form is submitted to the United States Internal Revenue Service in accordance with the instructions contained in such Form), whichever is applicable, within 60 days following a written request of the
Company; provided, further, that this Agreement shall be deemed to be such written request of the Company. 

(d)    On or before the date of the Closing, the Company will furnish each Purchaser with copies of the appropriate Form
(and English translation if required as aforesaid) currently required to be filed in the United Kingdom pursuant to Section 7(b)(ii), if any, and in connection with the transfer of any Note the Company will furnish the transferee of
such Note with copies of any such Form and English translation then required. 
 (e)    If a Guarantor pays an
additional amount under this Section 7 to or for the account of any Holder and such Holder is entitled to a refund of the tax to which such payment is attributable upon the making of a filing, then such Holder shall use reasonable
efforts to complete and deliver such refund forms to or as directed by such Guarantor. If such Holder in its reasonable discretion determines that it has received or been granted a refund of such taxes, such Holder shall, to the extent that it can
do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, reimburse to such Guarantor such amount as such Holder shall, in its reasonable discretion, determine to be attributable to the relevant taxes or deduction or withholding.
Nothing in this Section 7(e) shall (i) interfere with the right of the Holder of any Note to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no Holder of any Note shall be under any obligation to claim
relief from its corporate profits or similar tax liability in respect of such tax in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it or (ii) oblige any Holder of any Note to disclose any confidential and proprietary
income tax return information of such Holder. 
 (f)    The Company will furnish the Holders, promptly and in any event
within 60 days after the date of any payment by any Guarantor of any tax in respect of any amounts paid under this Guaranty, the original tax receipt issued by the relevant taxation or other authorities involved for all amounts paid as aforesaid (or
if such original tax receipt is not available or must legally be kept in the possession of such Guarantor, a duly certified copy of the original tax receipt or any other reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment), together with such other
documentary evidence with respect to such payments as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any Holder. 

(g)    If a Guarantor is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of the taxation or other authority of
any relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, to make any deduction or withholding of any tax in respect of which such Guarantor would be required to pay any additional amount under this Section 7, but for any reason does not make such
deduction or withholding with the result that a liability in respect of such tax is assessed by the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction directly against the Holder, and such Holder pays such liability, then such Guarantor will promptly reimburse such
Holder for such payment (including any related interest or penalties to the extent such interest or penalties arise by virtue of a default or delay by such 

  
 12 

 
Guarantor) upon demand by such Holder accompanied by an official receipt (or a duly certified copy thereof) issued by the taxation or other authority of the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction. 

(h)    [reserved]. 

(i)    The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 7 shall survive the payment or transfer of
any Note and the provisions of this Section 7 shall also apply to successive transferees of the Notes. 

(j)    By acceptance of any Note, the Holder of such Note agrees that such Holder will with reasonable promptness duly
complete and deliver to the Company, or to such other Person as may be reasonably requested by the Company, from time to time (i) in the case of any such Holder that is a United States person for federal income tax purposes, such Holder’s
United States tax identification number or other properly completed Forms (including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9) reasonably requested by the Company as may be necessary or appropriate to establish such
Holder’s status as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) in the case of any such Holder that is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such other documentation or properly completed Forms (including an appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as applicable) as
may be necessary or appropriate for the Company or such other Person (x) to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Holder has complied with such Holder’s obligations under FATCA, (y) to determine the amount
(if any) to deduct and withhold from any such payment made to such Holder or (z) to establish such Holder’s status as not a United States person for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Nothing in this Section 7 shall
require any Holder to provide information with respect to any Form or otherwise if such information is confidential or proprietary to such Holder (in which case, for the absence of doubt, no payment of additional amounts under this
Section 7 shall be required to the extent the relevant tax would not have been imposed, or would have been imposed at a reduced rate, had the Holder provided such information in a timely and proper manner) unless the Company is
required to obtain such information under FATCA and, in such event, the Company shall treat any such information it receives as confidential (subject to any disclosure requirements required pursuant to FATCA). 

(k)    HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme. Any Purchaser (or Holder) who holds a passport
under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall include an indication to that effect by providing its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence as follows: (a) in the
case of each Purchaser, providing such information in Schedule A at the date hereof in the Note Purchase Agreement or in a Supplemental Note Purchase Agreement, and (b) in the case of any transferee of a Note, providing such
information in the materials provided by the Holder to the Company in writing at the time of transfer. 
 Where a Purchaser (or transferee
of a Note) has provided its HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in Schedule A at the date hereof in the Note Purchase Agreement or in a Supplemental Note Purchase Agreement or in a written
notice delivered to the Company prior to the relevant Closing (or in the information provided by 

  
 13 

 the Holder to the Company in writing upon transfer) as provided above, the Company shall file a duly completed
form DTTP2 in respect of such Purchaser (or transferee of a Note) with HMRC within 30 days of the date of the relevant Closing (or, in the case of any transferee of a Note, within 30 days of completion of the transfer thereof) and shall provide such
Purchaser (or, in the case of any transferee of a Note, such Holder) with a copy of that filing if so requested by such Purchaser or transferee. 

(l)    Qualifying Private Placement Certificate. Any Purchaser or other Holder may deliver a
QPP Certificate to the Company and provided that such QPP Certificate has not become a withdrawn certificate or a cancelled certificate (within the meaning of regulations 6 and 7 respectively of the Income Tax (Qualifying Private Placement
Regulations) 2015 (SI 2015/2002) (the “QPP Regulations”) (unless such withdrawal or cancellation is as a consequence of the failure of the Company to comply with its obligations under regulation 7 of the QPP Regulations other
than where regulation 7(4)(b) applies as a consequence of a Purchaser or other Holder of the Note failing to provide accurate information) such Purchaser or Holder shall not be required to file any other Form seeking relief in respect of United
Kingdom withholding tax pursuant to the applicable double taxation agreement or to provide its HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme reference number (and so be non-compliant with the provisions of this
Section 7) unless it has failed to file such Form in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7 within the period of 30 days following it being notified of the QPP Certificate becoming a withdrawn or
cancelled certificate and receiving a written request to do so from the Company or its legal counsel.

(m)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, additional amounts otherwise payable by a Guarantor pursuant to
this Section 7 shall be payable only to the extent that the net amount that would otherwise be received by a Holder with respect to a payment by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, after such Guarantor has deducted or
withheld any tax of a Taxing Jurisdiction as required by law, is not more than the net amount such Holder would have received had such payment been made by the Company on the applicable Notes. 

 

	SECTION 8.	GOVERNING LAW. 

 (a)    THIS
GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE THEREIN. 

(b)    Each Guarantor hereby (1) irrevocably submits and consents to the jurisdiction of the federal court located
within the County of New York, State of New York (or if such court lacks jurisdiction, the State courts located therein), and irrevocably agrees that all actions or proceedings relating to this Guaranty may be litigated in such courts, and
(2) waives any objection which it may have based on improper venue or forum non conveniens to the conduct of any proceeding in any such court and waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and (3) consents
that all such service of process be made by delivery to it at the address of such Person set forth in Section 11 below or to its agent referred to below at such agent’s address set forth below (with a courtesy copy to such
Guarantor at the address set forth in Section 11) and that service so made shall be deemed to be completed upon actual receipt. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Company, as its agent for the purpose of receiving
service of any 

  
 14 

 
process. In the event the Company (or any successor thereto) shall in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement be organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than any state
of the United States or the District of Columbia, each Guarantor agrees it shall irrevocably appoint C T Corporation System, as its agent for the purpose of receiving service of any process within the State of New York. Nothing contained in this
section shall affect the right of any Holder to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring any action or proceeding in the courts of any jurisdiction against a Guarantor or to enforce a judgment obtained in the courts of
any other jurisdiction. 
 (c)    The parties hereto waive any right to have a jury participate in resolving any
dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, between them arising out of, connected with, related to or incidental to the relationship established between them in connection with this Guaranty, any financing agreement, any loan party
document or any other instrument, document or agreement executed or delivered in connection herewith or the transactions related hereto. The parties hereto hereby agree and consent that any such claim, demand, action or cause of action shall be
decided by court trial without a jury and that any of them may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Guaranty with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury. 

 

	SECTION 9.	CURRENCY OF PAYMENTS, INDEMNIFICATION. 

(a)    Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder or under the Notes in Dollars which is made to or for
the account of any Holder in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation of any Guarantor, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of such
Guarantor under this Guaranty only to the extent of the amount of Dollars which such Holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in London, England, with the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the
rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount of Dollars that could be so purchased is less than the amount of Dollars originally due to such Holder, the Company agrees
to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such Holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute an
obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Guaranty, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such Holder from time to time and shall
continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order. If the amount of Dollars that could be so purchased is more than the amount of Dollars
originally due to such holder, then such holder agrees to promptly remit such excess to such Guarantor. 
 (b)    Any
payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder or under the Notes in Euros which is made to or for the account of any Holder in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the realization
of any security or the liquidation of any Guarantor, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of such Guarantor under this Guaranty only to the extent of the amount of Euros which such Holder could purchase 

  
 15 

 
in the foreign exchange markets in London, England, with the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking
Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount of Euros that could be so purchased is less than the amount of Euros originally due to such Holder, such Guarantor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to
indemnify and save harmless such Holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute an obligation separate and independent from the
other obligations contained in this Guaranty, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such Holder from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order. If the amount of Euros that could be so purchased is more than the amount of Euros originally due to such holder, then
such holder agrees to promptly remit such excess to such Guarantor. 
 (c)    Any payment on account of an amount that
is payable hereunder or under the Notes in Sterling which is made to or for the account of any Holder in any other currency, whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the
liquidation of any Guarantor, shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of such Guarantor under this Guaranty only to the extent of the amount of Sterling which such Holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in London, England, with
the amount of such other currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the London Banking Day following receipt of the payment first referred to above. If the amount of Sterling that could be so
purchased is less than the amount of Sterling originally due to such Holder, such Guarantor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such Holder from and against all loss or damage arising out of or as a result
of such deficiency. This indemnity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Guaranty, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action,
shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such Holder from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under any judgment or
order. If the amount of Sterling that could be so purchased is more than the amount of Sterling originally due to such holder, then such holder agrees to promptly remit such excess to such Guarantor. 

 

	SECTION 10.	AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS. 

(a)    This Guaranty may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or
prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of each Guarantor and the Required Holders; provided, that without the written consent of all of the Holders, no such waiver, modification, alteration or amendment shall be effective
which will reduce the scope of the guaranty set forth in this Guaranty, amend any of the terms or provisions of Section 2 or 6 hereof or amend this Section 10. No such amendment or modification
shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly amended or modified or impair any right consequent thereon. 

  
 16 

 (b)    The Guarantors will provide each Holder (irrespective of the amount of
Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in
respect of any of the provisions hereof. The Guarantors will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10 to each Holder promptly
following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Holders. 

(c)    The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of fee or
otherwise, or grant any security, to any Holder as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any Holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or
security is concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to each Holder even if such Holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 

(d)    Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 10 applies equally to
all Holders and is binding upon them and upon each future Holder and upon the Guarantors. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent
thereon. No course of dealing between the Guarantors and any Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder. As used herein, the term “this Guaranty” and references thereto
shall mean this Guaranty as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented. 
 (e)    Solely for the purpose of
determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Guaranty, Notes directly or indirectly owned by
any Guarantor, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding. 
  

	SECTION 11.	NOTICES. 

 All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in
writing and sent (a) electronically (including by telefacsimile if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or e-mail)
or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent: 

(1)    if to a Holder listed on Schedule A of the Note Purchase Agreement or such Holder’s nominee, to
such Holder or such Holder’s nominee at the address specified for such communications on Schedule A, or at such other address as such Holder or such Holder’s nominee shall have specified to any Guarantor or the Company in writing, 

(2)    if to any other Holder, to such Holder at such address as such Holder shall have specified to any
Guarantor or the Company in writing, or 

  
 17 

 (3)    if to any Guarantor, to such Guarantor c/o the Company
at its address set forth at the beginning of the Note Purchase Agreement to the attention of Corporate Treasurer, or at such other address as such Guarantor shall have specified to the Holders in writing. 

Notices under this Section 11 will be deemed given only when actually received. Notices and other communications sent electronically
shall be deemed received on the day such notices or other communications are sent unless such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, in which case such notice or communication shall be deemed to
have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day. 
  

	SECTION 12.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

 (a)    No remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to any Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof but any such right or
power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle any Holder to exercise any remedy reserved to it under the Guaranty, it shall not be necessary for such Holder to physically produce its Note in
any proceedings instituted by it or to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required. 

(b)    The Guarantors will pay all sums becoming due under this Guaranty by the method and at the address specified in the
Note Purchase Agreement, or by such other method or at such other address as any Holder shall have from time to time specified to the Guarantors in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Guaranty or any Note. 

(c)    Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 (d)    If the whole or any part of this
Guaranty shall be now or hereafter become unenforceable against any one or more of the Guarantors for any reason whatsoever or if it is not executed by any one or more of the Guarantors, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be and remain fully binding
upon and enforceable against each other Guarantor as if it had been made and delivered only by such other Guarantors. 

(e)    This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
each Holder and its successors and assigns so long as its Notes remain outstanding and unpaid. 

  
 18 

 (f)    This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. 

 

	SECTION 13.	RELEASE. 

 Notwithstanding anything that may be contained herein to the contrary,
the Holders agree that, in accordance with, and pursuant to the requirements of, Section 2.2(e) of the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty shall be automatically released and discharged without the necessity of further action on the part of
the Holders if, and to the extent, (a) the corresponding guaranty given pursuant to the terms of each Material Credit Facility is released and discharged, (b) such Guarantor is no longer, if applicable, a borrower or issuer under any
Material Credit Facility and (c) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing or result therefrom (or should any Default or Event of Default then exist or result, at such later time as any such Default or Event of
Default shall cease to exist or result therefrom); provided that in the event the Guarantor shall again become obligated under or with respect to the previously discharged Guaranty or Material Credit Facility pursuant to the terms and
provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement, then the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be reinstated and any release thereof previously given shall be deemed null and void, and such Guaranty shall again benefit the Holders on an
equal and pro rata basis. Any release by the Holders shall be deemed to have occurred concurrently with the release and discharge under the Material Credit Facilities. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders of any release of an
Affiliate Guaranty pursuant to this Section 13 and shall deliver evidence of any release or discharge of a guaranty or Lien in customary form. 

[Intentionally Blank]

 Exhibit 10.3 

STERIS plc 
 Senior
Executive Severance Plan, 
 As Amended and Restated Effective 

January 25, 2017 

 STERIS plc 

Senior Executive Severance Plan, 

As Amended and Restated Effective January 25, 2017 

Background 
 A.
STERIS plc established this severance plan, effective as of November 2, 2015 to provide severance benefits to specified executives of STERIS and its Affiliates upon termination of employment. 

B. The Plan was adopted by STERIS because it considered the establishment and maintenance of a sound management to be essential to protecting
and enhancing the best interests of STERIS and its shareholders, and STERIS recognized in this connection that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a Change in Control or a termination of an Executive’s
employment may arise and that such possibilities, and the uncertainty and questions which they may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of STERIS and its shareholders. 

C. Accordingly, the Committee has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and
dedication of the management of the Company (as hereinafter defined) to their assigned duties without distraction in circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) of STERIS or a termination of an
Executive’s employment, and adopted the Plan. 
 D. The Committee desires to amend and restate the Plan to effect certain
clarifications and other changes. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is amended and restated in its entirety to provide as follows: 

Article 1. Term of Plan and Change in Control 

1.1 Term. This Plan shall continue in effect until terminated by STERIS. STERIS may terminate this Plan entirely or terminate any
individual Executive’s participation in the Plan at any time by: (a) giving all Executives at least twelve (12) months prior written notice of Plan termination if terminating the Plan in its entirety or (b) giving the affected
Executive at least twelve (12) months prior written notice if terminating the affected Executive’s participation in the Plan. Any notice provided pursuant to the preceding sentence shall specify the date (in compliance with the preceding
termination sentence) as of which such termination shall be effective. Following delivery of such notice by STERIS, this Plan or the Executive’s participation in the Plan, as the case may be, along with all corresponding Plan rights, duties,
and covenants, other than those contained in Articles 5 and 6 and in Sections 7.3, 9.2, 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 shall terminate on the date indicated in such notice, except that any right to Severance Benefits that shall have accrued to Executive prior
to the effective date specified in such notice shall not be affected by such termination and such Severance Benefits shall be provided as if such notice had not been given. 

 1.2 Change in Control and Plan Term.
Notwithstanding Section 1.1, in the event of a Change in Control during the term of the Plan, STERIS may not terminate the Plan or the participation of any individual Executive who is a participant at the time the Change in Control occurs

 Article 3. Severance Eligibility/Conditions. 

3.1 Qualifying Termination. STERIS shall pay Severance Benefits and other benefits to an Executive, as such Severance
Benefits and other benefits are described in Section 4.2, upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (a “Qualifying Termination”): 

(a)      Within twelve (12) calendar months following a Change in Control and prior to termination of the Plan
or termination of the Executive’s participation therein pursuant to Section 1.2, the Executive incurs a Separation from Service other than: 

(i)      By the Company for Cause; or 

(ii)     By the Executive without Good Reason. 

(b)      At any time other than as described in Section 3.1(a) and prior to the termination of the Plan or
termination of the Executive’s participation therein pursuant to Section 1.2, the Executive incurs a Separation from Service other than: 

(i)     By the Company for Cause; or 

(ii)     By the Executive without Good Reason. 

A “Separation from Service” shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the level of bona fide services reasonably anticipated to be
performed by the Executive is twenty percent (20%) or less (including zero) of the average level of bona fide services performed by such Executive during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month
period (or the full period of services if the Executive has been providing services for less than thirty-six (36) months). For the avoidance of doubt, a complete termination of Executive’s employment
and other service relationships with STERIS and all Affiliates constituting the Company shall be a Separation from Service. A Separation from Service by an Executive shall be treated as having occurred with Good Reason only if the Executive
terminates his employment and all other service 

  
 5 

 
relationships with STERIS and all such Affiliates within thirty (30) days after the end of the Company’s cure period described in Section 2(p). 

3.2 Severance Benefits. The Executive shall not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits if the Executive’s
employment with Company ends for reasons other than a Qualifying Termination. 
 3.3 General Release and
Other Agreements. As a condition to receiving Severance Benefits under this Plan, prior to the 60 th day following the date of the Executive’s Qualifying Termination, the
Executive shall have executed (i) a general release of claims in favor of STERIS, its current and former Affiliates and shareholders, and the current and former directors, officers, employees, and agents thereof, in the form prescribed by
STERIS (a “General Release”) and under procedures determined by STERIS in its discretion to be adequate, to effectively waive all claims under applicable law, and any period for revocation of such General Release shall have expired and
(ii) at STERIS’s option, the Executive shall have executed a written affirmation in such form as STERIS may require of Executive’s obligations under Articles 5 and 6 hereof and under all nondisclosure and non-competition agreements and similar agreements to which Executive is party, including the Other Agreements. 

3.4 Notice of Termination. Any Separation from Service (including a termination of employment of Executive) by the
Company or by the Executive shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party. In the event an Executive provides written notice to STERIS of an alleged Good Reason event and subsequently terminates his/her employment pursuant to
Section 2(o) and Section 3.1, then such notice shall constitute a Notice of Termination. 
 3.5 Disability.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if an Executive becomes Disabled after the date of the Executive’s Qualifying Termination, such Executive shall not be entitled to benefits under any short-term or long-term disability
plan of Company. 
 Article 4. Severance Benefits and Other Benefits. 

4.1 General Conditions for Severance Benefits. Subject to Section 3.3 and the other provisions
hereof, the Company shall pay the Executive the benefits, including the Severance Benefits, as described in Section 4.2, if the Executive receives or delivers a Notice of Termination in respect of a Qualifying Termination of the
Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 3.1. 
 4.2 Benefits. Severance Benefits to be provided to the Executive
pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be the following: 
 (a)      An amount equal to the Executive’s
unpaid Base Salary, unreimbursed business expenses, and all other items earned by and owed to the Executive through and including the date of the Qualifying Termination shall be paid in cash to the Executive within thirty days after the date of his
or her Effective Date of Termination. Such payment shall constitute full satisfaction for these amounts owed to the Executive. 

  
 6 

 (b)      Any amount payable to the Executive under the applicable
management incentive compensation plan then in effect in respect of the most recently completed fiscal year, to the extent not theretofore paid, shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum at the applicable time provided in such
plan. Such payment shall constitute full satisfaction for such amount owed to the Executive in respect of such fiscal year. 

(c)    An amount equal to one (1) times the Executive’s annual rate of Base Salary in effect immediately prior
to the date of his or her Qualifying Termination; provided, however, in the case of an Executive (x) whose Qualifying Termination occurs under the circumstances described in 3.1(a) or (y) whose Qualifying Termination is a Separation from
Service by the Company without Cause that occurs within twelve (12) months prior to a Change in Control and such Separation from Service occurs at the request of any party involved in the Change in Control transaction, then in either case the
amount payable under this Section 4.2(c) to the Executive shall be two (2) times the Executive’s annual rate of Base Salary in effect upon the date of the Qualifying Termination or, if greater, the Executive’s annual rate of Base
Salary in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control. Subject to Section 9.2 and the following sentence, such amount shall be paid in equal monthly installments or more frequent installments as determined by STERIS over
a twelve (12) month period commencing upon the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service, payable on the same schedule that would have existed had the Executive remained in the employ of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the first payment shall be made on the 61st day after the Executive’s Separation from Service and shall include all amounts that would have been paid prior to such first payment date but for
this sentence.
 (d)    An amount equal to the annual bonus the Executive would have earned under the applicable
management incentive compensation plan for the fiscal year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs, determined based on (i) the applicable targets and thresholds and STERIS’s financial performance, at the attainment percentage approved
by the Board (and treating individual performance as having achieved expectations) under such incentive compensation plan for such fiscal year and (ii) adjusted on a pro rata basis based on the number of months the Executive was actually
employed during such fiscal year (full credit shall be given for partial months of employment), which amount shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum at the applicable time provided in such plan. Such payment shall constitute full
satisfaction for such amount owed to the Executive under such plan for such fiscal year. 
 (e)      The Company
shall allow Executive, at Executive’s expense, to continue to participate in the Company’s medical and dental insurance coverages as are in effect from time to time for Company employees until the earlier of (x) Executive’s
eligibility under another employer’s medical or dental plan, or (y) expiration of the Executive’s eligibility to participate in such coverages pursuant to COBRA, and shall reimburse the Executive for the monthly cost thereof incurred
by Executive during the first twelve (12) months subsequent to the date of the Executive’s Qualifying Termination. Subject to Section 9.2, each such reimbursement shall be made within ten (10) days after the end of the month for
which such reimbursement is made, provided that the first reimbursement payment shall be made on the 61st day after the Executive’s Separation from Service and shall include all reimbursement
amounts that would have been paid 

  
 7 

 
prior to such first payment date but for this proviso. Executive agrees that the period of medical and dental coverage under the Company’s plans under this Section shall count against the
obligation to provide continuation coverage under COBRA and ERISA. 
 (f)    Any exercise or other rights of Executive
with respect to Executive’s interests in STERIS stock, restricted stock, stock options, stock appreciation, or other equity related interests shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Equity Plans and/or
predecessor plans, as applicable, and the Executive’s applicable Evidence(s) of Award and/or evidences of award under predecessor plans, as applicable, which shall remain in full force and effect, in accordance with their respective terms
including without limitation the requirements of “Good Standing”, confidentiality and non-competition. 

(g)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the payment of any amount of Severance Benefits to the Executive before the date
which is six months after the date of Executive’s Separation from Service would cause all or any portion of the Severance Benefits to be subject to inclusion in the Executive’s gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section
409A(a)(i)(A) of the Code, then the payment of any such amount shall be delayed until the first business day after such date (or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death). 

Article 5. Protective Covenants. Executive agrees that the Other Agreements shall apply to Executive and remain in full force and effect subject
to their terms, excluding any severance policy, benefits, or other post termination obligation of the Company, except as specified in Section 4.2 of this Plan or except for any Other Severance Arrangement. This Plan shall be in addition to and
not in substitution for such Other Agreements, provided that any material breach, default or violation by Executive under this Plan or the Other Agreements or any Other Severance Arrangement, shall constitute a breach of each and every Other
Agreement and any Other Severance Arrangement between STERIS and Executive, if so determined by STERIS. This Plan and the Other Agreements are separate and distinct obligations and are intended to supplement, not conflict with, each other. However,
in the event of any conflict between the terms of those Other Agreements and this Plan, such conflict shall be governed by the terms of this Plan. Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) adequate consideration has been provided for this Plan
and the Other Agreements and each is binding on Executive, and (ii) both during and after employment with the Company, Executive will freely assist and cooperate with the Company concerning matters in his or her knowledge or arising from or
relating to responsibilities in respect of the Company. 
 Article 6. Confidentiality. As used in this Plan, Confidential Information
means any information concerning STERIS or any Affiliate of STERIS or otherwise concerning the Company that is not ordinarily provided to Persons who are not employees of the Company except pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, provided that any
information that is or becomes publicly known, other than as a result of a breach of this provision by Executive, shall not be or shall cease to be Confidential Information. Executive shall not disclose Confidential Information to any Person other
than: (a) an officer, director or employee of STERIS or any Affiliate who needs to know such information in his or her capacity as such, (b) an attorney who has been retained by and represents STERIS or an Affiliate with respect to matters
relating to the Company and in accordance with attorney/client privilege. Executive shall not use Confidential 

  
 8 

 
Information for any purpose unrelated to duties as an officer, director or employee of STERIS or any Affiliate. Nothing in this Plan will prohibit Executive from disclosing Confidential
Information as necessary to comply with valid legal process or investigations or to fulfill a legal duty of Executive. 
 Article 7. Contractual Rights
and Legal Remedies. 
 7.1 Payment Obligations Absolute. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.3
below, and subject to satisfaction of the conditions herein contained. STERIS’s obligation to make the payments and the arrangements provided for herein shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any offset,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right which STERIS or any Affiliate may have against the Executive or anyone else. All amounts payable by STERIS hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand. The Executive shall not be obligated to
seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Plan, and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event effect any reduction of STERIS’s obligations to make the payments
and arrangements required to be made under this Plan, except to the extent provided in Section 4.2(e). 
 7.2 Contractual
Rights to Benefits. This Plan establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the benefits to which he or she is entitled hereunder, subject to the other provisions hereof. However, nothing herein contained shall
require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to prohibit, STERIS to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets, in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be made or required hereunder. 

7.3 Return of Severance Benefits. If at any time the Executive breaches any provision of (i) the
General Release or (ii) Section 5 or 6 hereof (or the Other Agreements), or any obligations of the Executive affirmed under Section 3.3(ii), each as executed by the Executive in accordance with Section 3.4 or pursuant to or as
specified in the other provisions of this Plan, then in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it in law or equity, STERIS may cease to provide any further Severance Benefits and other benefits under this Plan, and upon STERIS’s
written demand, the Executive shall repay to STERIS the Severance Benefits and any other amount previously received under this Plan which Executive would have not been entitled to receive absent the Plan. Any amount to be repaid pursuant to this
Section 7.3 shall be (A) determined by STERIS in its sole and absolute discretion, (B) held by the Executive in constructive trust for the benefit of STERIS and (C) paid by the Executive to STERIS within ten (10) days of the
Executive’s receipt of written notice from STERIS. STERIS shall have the right to offset such amount against any amounts otherwise owed to the Executive by STERIS. In addition, in the event of any such breach by Executive, Executive also shall
pay expenses and costs incurred by Company as a result of the breach (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees). 
 Article 8.
Successors 
 8.1 Successors to STERIS. STERIS shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, reorganization, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, liquidation, 

  
 9 

 
or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the business or assets of STERIS by agreement, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that
STERIS would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. Regardless of whether such agreement is executed, this Plan shall be binding upon any successor in accordance with the operation of law and such successor shall be deemed
“STERIS” for purposes of this Plan. 
 8.2 Assignment by the Executive. This Plan shall inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. If the Executive dies while any amount would still be payable to him
under Section 4.2(c) and/or 4.2(d) had he continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, due under 4.2(c) and 4.2(d) shall continue to be paid, on the same schedule and in the same amounts as such payments would have
otherwise been made to the Executive had he or she continued to live, to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to the Executive’s estate, provided that such devisee, legatee, other designee
or estate shall not have the right to designate the payment date. 
 Article 9. Miscellaneous. 

9.1 Employment Status. This Plan is not, and nothing herein shall be deemed to create, an employment contract between the
Executive and STERIS or any Affiliate or any other Person constituting part of the Company. The Executive acknowledges that the rights of his or her employer remain wholly intact to change or reduce at any time and from time to time his or her
compensation, title, responsibilities, location, and all other aspects of the employment relationship, or to discharge the Executive (subject to Section 3.1). 

9.2 Entire Plan. This Plan, as amended and restated hereby, contains the entire understanding of STERIS and the Executive
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces the Plan as in effect immediately prior to the amendment and restatement hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Executive is entitled to the
payments provided for under this Plan in the event of the Executive’s termination of employment or other Separation from Service with or from Company and under (i) any other employment, retention, severance, or similar agreement or
arrangement with STERIS or any other Affiliate to which the Executive is a party or (ii) any severance pay plan or program of STERIS or any other Affiliate in which the Executive is a participant (each of (i) and (ii) an “Other
Severance Arrangement”), the Executive will be entitled to severance benefits under either this Plan or the Other Severance Arrangement, whichever provides for greater benefits, but will not be entitled to benefits under both this Plan and the
Other Severance Arrangement, provided that the time and form of payment of severance benefits to the Executive shall be structured so as to avoid amounts being included in the Executive’s gross income for federal income tax purposes under
Section 409A(a)(i)(A) of the Code. No representation, agreement, understanding, or promise purporting to alter or modify the terms and conditions hereof shall have any force or effect unless the same is in writing and validly executed by STERIS and
Executive or is part of a formal STERIS or Company benefit plan. 

  
 10 

 9.3 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder
shall be sufficient if in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand or if sent by registered or certified mail or recognized overnight carrier service to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in
writing with STERIS or, in the case of STERIS, at its principal offices. 
 9.4 Includable Compensation. Severance
Benefits provided hereunder shall not be considered “includable compensation” for purposes of determining the Executive’s benefits under any other plan or program of STERIS or an Affiliate unless otherwise provided by such other plan
or program. 
 9.5 Tax Withholding. STERIS shall withhold or cause to be withheld from any amounts payable under this
Plan all federal, state, city, or other taxes as legally required to be withheld. 
 9.6 Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A. This Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent. References to Code
Section 409A shall include any proposed, temporary or final regulation, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such section by the U.S. Department of Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service. Each payment and each provision of
Severance Benefits pursuant to Article 4 shall be considered a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Code Section 409A. In addition, the Executive shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction
of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on the Executive in connection with this Plan (including any taxes and penalties under Code Section 409A), and neither STERIS nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or
otherwise hold the Executive harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties. 
 9.7 Severability. In the event any
provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been
included. Further, the captions of this Plan are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force and effect. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, neither STERIS nor any Affiliate shall have any obligation
to make any payment to the Executive hereunder to the extent, but only to the extent, that such payment is prohibited by the terms of any final order of a federal or state court or regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction; provided,
however, that such an order shall not affect, impair, or invalidate any provision of this Plan not expressly subject to such order. 

9.8 Modification. The provisions of this Plan may be modified or waived by STERIS without the Executive’s consent at any
time by the giving of at least twelve (12) months prior written notice thereof to the Executive, except that any change that reduces the benefits of an Executive who is already receiving Severance Benefits or is then entitled to receive
Severance Benefits shall require the Executive’s consent; provided, however , that during the period beginning on the date of a Change in Control and ending on the first anniversary of such Change in Control, no provision of this
Plan may be modified or waived unless such modification or waiver is agreed to in writing and signed by the affected Executives then covered by the Plan and by a member of the Committee, as applicable, or by the respective parties’ legal
representatives 

  
 11 

 
or successors; and provided, further, that the foregoing restrictions on modifications and waivers shall not prevent STERIS from making Plan modifications or waivers with respect to any Executive
so long as the same do not have a material adverse effect on the Executive’s obligations, benefits or rights under the Plan. Modifications or waivers agreed to in writing may affect only those Executives who have signed such modification or
waiver. 
 9.9 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used
herein shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 9.10
Arbitration. Any disputes arising out of this Plan including the circumstances relating to Executive’s Separation from Service that remain outstanding after the completion of the procedures described in Section 9.14 shall be
submitted by Executive and STERIS to arbitration in Cleveland, Ohio. The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association or another arbitration body mutually agreed upon by the parties under the mutually agreed rules or absent
agreement, the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules. The determination of the arbitrator shall be final and absolute. Notwithstanding this or any other arbitration provision, STERIS shall be entitled to apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for temporary or permanent injunctive relief or other equitable relief to enforce the terms of Sections 5 or 6 hereof or the Other Agreements. The decision of the arbitrator may be entered as a judgment in any court of
competent jurisdiction. The non-prevailing party in the arbitration or court proceeding shall pay the reasonable legal fees of the other party in enforcing this Plan. 

9.11 Remedies. If STERIS breaches it obligations to Executive under this Plan, STERIS shall pay the Executive’s expenses
and costs incurred to remedy the breach including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. 
 9.12 Section
280G. The amounts payable to the Executive under Article 4 may be adjusted as set forth in this Section 9.12 if the sum (the “combined amount”) of the amounts payable under Article 4 and all other payments or benefits
which the Executive has received or has the right to receive from the Company which are defined in Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code, would, but for the application of this Section 9.12, constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined
in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code). In such event, the combined amount shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary (but in no event to less than zero) so that no portion of any such payment or benefit, as so reduced, constitutes a parachute
payment; provided, however, that the foregoing reduction shall be made only if and to the extent that such reduction would result in an increase in the aggregate payments and benefits to be provided to the Executive, determined on an after-tax basis (taking into account the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, any tax imposed by any comparable provision of state law, and any applicable
federal, state and local income taxes). To the extent the reduction referred to in the second sentence of this Section 9.12 applies, such reduction shall be made to the combined amount by reduction of the payments described in Sections 4.2(c)
and 4.2(d) of this Plan and, to the extent further reductions are required, in such payments due to the Executive as the Company may determine. Any determinations required to be made under this Section 9.12 shall be made by the Company’s
independent accountants, which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the date of termination or such earlier time as is requested by the Company, and shall be made at the,

  
 12 

 
expense of the Company. The fact that the Executive’s right to payments or benefits may be reduced by reason of the limitations contained in this Section 9.12 shall not of itself limit
or otherwise affect any other rights of the Executive or constitute Good Reason under this Plan. 
 9.13 Administration. The
Plan shall be administered by the Committee, as plan administrator (the “Plan Administrator”). The Plan Administrator shall have the sole and absolute discretion to interpret where necessary all provisions of the Plan (including, without
limitation, by supplying omissions from, correcting deficiencies in, or resolving inconsistencies or ambiguities in, the language of the Plan), to make factual findings with respect to any issue arising under the Plan, to determine the rights and
status under the Plan of Plan participants or other persons, to resolve questions (including factual questions) or disputes arising under the Plan and to make any determinations with respect to the benefits payable under the Plan and the persons
entitled thereto as may be necessary for the purposes of the Plan. The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its administrative duties, including, without limitation, duties with respect to the processing, review, investigation, approval and
payment of benefits, to a named administrator or administrators. 
 9.14 Claims Procedures. (a) The Committee, as
Plan Administrator, shall determine the rights of any person to any benefit under the Plan. Any person who believes that he or she has not received the benefit to which he or she is entitled under the Plan must file a claim in writing with the Plan
Administrator specifying the basis for his or her claim and the facts upon which he or she relies in making such a claim. 

(b)    The Plan Administrator will notify the claimant of its decision regarding his or her claim within a reasonable
period of time, but not later than 90 days following the date on which the claim is filed, unless special circumstances require a longer period for adjudication and the claimant is notified in writing of the reasons for an extension of time prior to
the end of the initial 90-day period and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to make the final decision. In no event will the Plan Administrator be given an extension for processing the claim
beyond 180 days after the date on which the claim is first filed with the Plan Administrator. 
 (c)    If such a claim
is denied, the Plan Administrator’s notice will be in writing, will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and will contain the following information: 

(i)    The specific reason(s) for the denial; 

(ii)    A specific reference to the pertinent Plan provision(s) on which the denial is based; 

(iii)    A description of additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim, if
any, and an explanation of why such information or material is necessary; and 
 (iv)    An explanation of the
Plan’s claim review procedure and the applicable time limits under such procedure and a statement as to the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA after all of the Plan’s review procedures have been satisfied.
