HOSPIRA 401(k) SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN

 

SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION

 

1-1.                             HISTORY
AND PURPOSE.  Pursuant to a
Separation and Distribution Agreement by and between Abbott Laboratories
(“Abbott”) and Hospira, Inc. 
(“Hospira”) dated as of April 12, 2004, Abbott distributed as a
dividend to its shareholders all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of Hospira, together with the associated preferred stock
purchase rights, owned by Abbott (the “Distribution”).  In connection with the Distribution, Hospira
established the Hospira 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) and
certain assets and liabilities were transferred from the Abbott Laboratories
Stock Retirement Plan (the “Abbott SRP”) to the 401(k) Plan with respect to
certain persons who were transferred from employment with Abbott to employment
with Hospira in connection or contemporaneously with the Distribution
(“Transferred Employees”).  In
connection with the Distribution, Abbott retained all liabilities with respect
to the Abbott Laboratories 401(k) Supplemental Plan (the “Abbott KSP”).  This Hospira 401(k) Supplemental Plan (the
“Plan”) is being established by Hospira to provide Transferred Employees a
limited opportunity to continue to accumulate capital for their retirement or
other termination of employment in excess of the contributions allowed under
the 401(k) Plan.

 

1-2.                             EFFECTIVE DATE AND AUTOMATIC
TERMINATION.  The Plan shall be
effective as of May 1, 2004.  The Plan
shall immediately terminate as of December 31, 2004 without any further
action of any person.

 

1-3.                             ADMINISTRATION. 
The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the
“Committee”) appointed by the Board of Directors of Hospira (the “Board of
Directors”).

 

SECTION 2

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

 

2-1.                             PERSONS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE.  Participation in the Plan shall be limited
to employees who are Transferred Employees and who, immediately prior to the
Distribution, were participants in the Abbott KSP.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event
shall a participant be permitted to make pre-tax contributions under the Plan
unless and until the participant has made contributions under the 401(k) Plan
equal to the maximum elective deferrals permitted under section 402(g) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or the maximum
elective contributions permitted under the terms of the 401(k) Plan.

 

2-2.                             PARTICIPANT.  An
eligible employee may elect to participate in the Plan by electing to have contributions
made on the employee’s behalf as provided in Section 5.

 

 

SECTION 3

EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS

 

3-1.                             ALLOWABLE CONTRIBUTIONS.  An eligible employee may elect to have his
employer make “pre-tax contributions” on his behalf in an amount not greater
than 18% in total of his compensation in any calendar year for services
rendered to his employer.  A pre-tax
contribution made by an employer on behalf of a participant shall reduce the
participant’s compensation at the time of payment of such compensation.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan, each election hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be in multiples of
1% of compensation.  For purposes of
determining whether the limitations of this subsection 3-1 are satisfied
for 2004, pre-tax contributions made under the Abbott KSP prior to the
Distribution shall be treated as made under the Plan.

 

3-2.                             COMPENSATION.  A
participant’s “compensation” shall have the same meaning as that term is used
in section 15.13 of the 401(k) Plan.

 

3-3.                             MAXIMUM EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS.  In no event shall the sum of:

 

(a)                                  the
participant’s total contributions and pre-tax contributions made under the
401(k) Plan (“401(k) plan contributions”); plus

 

(b)                                 the
participant’s total pre-tax contributions made under the Plan;

 

for any calendar year,
exceed 18% of the employee’s compensation for such year.  In the event the limitation described in
this subsection 3-3 would be exceeded for any participant, the
participant’s pre-tax contributions made under this Plan shall be reduced until
the limit is not exceeded.  For purposes
of determining  the limitation described
in this subsection 3-3 for 2004, total contributions and pre-tax contributions
made under the Abbott SRP prior to the Distribution shall be treated as made under
the 401(k) Plan and pre-tax contributions made under the Abbott KSP prior to
the Distribution shall be treated as made under the Plan.

 

SECTION 4

EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS

 

For the 2004 calendar
year, Hospira shall make a contribution on behalf of each participant in the
Plan who makes pre-tax contributions under the Plan during such year at the
rate of two percent (2%) of compensation in excess of the limit in effect for
such year under Code Section 401(a)(17). 
Such employer contribution shall be in an amount equal to the
contribution the participant would have received under section 3.6 of the
401(k) Plan with respect to such pre-tax contributions had such pre-tax
contributions been made under section 3.2 of the 401(k) Plan.  A participant who suspends his pre-tax
contributions to the Plan during any calendar year shall receive an employer
contribution under this Section 4 based on the basic contributions made by
the participant during such year.  For
purposes of determining whether a participant’s compensation exceeds the limit
of Code Section 401(a)(17) for the 2004 calendar year, compensation paid
to the participant by Abbott prior to the Distribution shall be taken into
account and aggregated with compensation paid to the participant by Hospira
after the Distribution.

SECTION 5

ELECTIONS

 

5-1.                             ELECTIONS PROCEDURES.  Except as provided in subsection 5-2, a participant’s
election with respect to pre-tax contributions in effect under the Abbott KSP immediately
prior to the Distribution shall continue in effect under this Plan from and
after the effective date hereof as though made hereunder and the participant
shall not be permitted to revoke such election.

 

5-2.                             LIMITED CHANGES. 
A participant who  has
an election in effect under subsection 5-1 may increase or decrease such
pre-tax contributions during 2004 by filing a written election with the
Committee.  A participant may make no
more than two such elections under this subsection 5-2 during such calendar
year and any such elections made under the Abbott KSP prior to the Distribution
shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this subsection 5-2.  Any election filed under this
subsection 5-2 shall become effective for compensation earned no earlier then
the first payroll period commencing after receipt of the election by the
Committee.  Any election filed under
this subsection 5-2 shall remain in effect for compensation earned during
the remainder of such calendar year unless changed by a subsequent election
under this subsection 5-2.

 

SECTION 6

FUNDING EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS

 

Each participant’s pre-tax contributions and employer contributions
shall be retained by Hospira and shall be credited to a Deferred Account
established under subsection 7-1.

 

SECTION 7

ACCOUNTING

 

7-1.                             SEPARATE ACCOUNTS. 
The Committee shall maintain a bookkeeping account (a “Deferred
Account”) in the name of each participant which shall be comprised of any
pre-tax contributions made on behalf of the participant under
subsection 3-1 and any employer contributions made on behalf of the
participant under Section 4.

 

7-2.                             DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES.  Subject to the conditions and limitations
set forth below, each participant, and after a participant’s death, each primary
beneficiary designated by a participant in accordance with the provisions of
this subsection 7-2, shall have the right from time to time to designate a
primary beneficiary or beneficiaries and, successive or contingent beneficiary
or beneficiaries to receive unpaid amounts from the participant’s Deferred
Account under the Plan.  Beneficiaries
may be a natural person or persons or a fiduciary, such as a trustee of a trust
or the legal representative of an estate. 
Any such designation shall take effect upon the death of the participant
or such beneficiary, as the case may be, or in the case of any fiduciary
beneficiary, upon the termination of all of its duties (other than the duty to
dispose of the right to receive amounts remaining to be paid under the Plan).  The conditions and limitations relating to
the designation of beneficiaries are as follows:

 

3

 

(a)                                  A
nonfiduciary beneficiary shall have the right to designate a further
beneficiary or beneficiaries only if the original participant or the next
preceding primary beneficiary, as the case may be, shall have expressly so
provided in writing; and

 

(b)                                 A
fiduciary beneficiary shall designate as a further beneficiary or beneficiaries
only those persons or other fiduciaries who are entitled to receive the amounts
payable from the participant’s account under the trust or estate of which it is
a fiduciary.

 

Any beneficiary
designation or grant of any power to any beneficiary under this
subsection may be exercised only by an instrument in writing, executed by
the person making the designation or granting such power and filed with the
Secretary of Hospira during such person’s lifetime or prior to the termination
of a fiduciary’s duties.  If a deceased
participant or a deceased nonfiduciary beneficiary who had the right to
designate a beneficiary as provided above dies without having designated a
further beneficiary, or if no beneficiary designated as provided above is
living or qualified and acting, the Committee, in its discretion, may direct
distribution of the amount remaining from time to time to either:

 

(i)                                     any
one or more or all of the next of kin (including the surviving spouse) of the
participant or the deceased beneficiary, as the case may be, and in such proportions
as the Committee determines; or

 

(ii)                                  the
legal representative of the estate of the deceased participant or deceased
beneficiary as the case may be.

 

Any beneficiary designation in effect with respect to a participant
under the Abbott KSP immediately prior to the effective date shall remain in
effect under the Plan as though made hereunder until changed by the participant
in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 7.4.

 

7-3.                             NON-ASSIGNABILITY AND FACILITY OF
PAYMENT.  Amounts payable to
participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan are not in any way subject
to their debts and other obligations, and may not be voluntarily or
involuntarily sold, transferred or assigned; provided that the preceding
provisions of this section shall not be construed as restricting in any
way a designation right granted to a beneficiary pursuant to the terms of
subsection 7-2.  When a participant
or the beneficiary of a participant is under legal disability, or in the
Committee’s opinion is in any way incapacitated so as to be unable to manage
his or her financial affairs, the Committee may direct that payments shall be
made to the participant’s or beneficiary’s legal representative, or to a
relative or friend of the participant or beneficiary for the benefit of the
participant or beneficiary, or the Committee may direct the payment or
distribution for the benefit of the participant or beneficiary in any manner
that the Committee determines.

 

7-4.                             PAYER OF AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO
PARTICIPANTS.  Any employer contribution
made on behalf of a participant in the Plan and any interest credited thereto
(and to other contributions) will be paid by the employer (or such employer’s
successor) by whom the participant was employed during the calendar year for
which any amount was allocated, and for that purpose, if a participant shall
have been employed by two or more employers during any calendar year the amount
allocated under this Plan for that year shall be an obligation of each of

 

4

 

the respective
employers in proportion to the respective amounts of compensation paid by each
of them in that calendar year.

 

7-5.                             MANNER OF PAYMENT. 
All pre-tax contributions and employer contributions, less the
approximate aggregate federal, state and local individual income taxes
(determined as set forth below), shall be paid to Abbott by Hospira as soon as
practicable after the last complete payroll period of the calendar quarter in
which the contributions were made. 
Abbott will contribute such amount to a Grantor Trust established by the
applicable participant in accordance with the Abbott KSP.  Hospira shall pay to the participant an
amount equal to the approximate aggregate federal, state and local individual
income taxes (determined as set forth below). 
Upon Hospira’s payment of the foregoing amounts, Hospira’s obligations
under and with respect to participants and all other persons with respect to
such contributions  shall be satisfied
in full.  For purposes of determining
the approximate federal, state and local individual income taxes for a
participant for purposes of this subsection 7-5, the participant’s federal
income tax rate shall be deemed to be the highest marginal rate of federal
individual income tax in effect in the calendar year in which a calculation
under this subsection 7-5 is to be made, and state and local tax rates
shall be deemed to be the highest marginal rates of individual income tax in
effect in the state and locality of the participant’s residence on the date
such a calculation is made, net of any federal tax benefits.

 

SECTION 8

MISCELLANEOUS

 

8-1.                             RULES.  The Committee
may establish such rules and regulations as it may consider necessary or
desirable for the effective and efficient administration of the Plan.

 

8-2.                             TAXES.  Any employer
shall be entitled, if necessary or desirable, to pay, or withhold the amount of
any federal, state or local tax, attributable to any amounts payable by it
under the Plan after giving the person entitled to receive such amount notice
as far in advance as practicable, and may defer making payment of any amount
with respect to which any such tax question may be pending unless and until
indemnified to its satisfaction.

 

8-3.                             RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS.  Employment rights of participants with Hospira and its
subsidiaries shall not be enlarged or affected by reason of establishment of or
inclusion as a participant in the Plan. 
Nothing contained in the Plan shall require Hospira or any subsidiary to
segregate or earmark any assets, funds or property for the purpose of payment
of any amounts which may have been deferred. 
The Deferred Accounts established pursuant to subsection 7-1 are
for the convenience of the administration of the Plan and no trust relationship
with respect to such Accounts is intended or should be implied.  Participant’s rights shall be limited to
payment to them at the time or times and in such amounts as are contemplated by
the Plan.  Any decision made by the
Committee which is within its sole and uncontrolled discretion, shall be
conclusive and binding upon all persons whomsoever.

 

8-4.                             GENDER.  For purposes of
the Plan, words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter
genders, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the
singular.

 

5

 

8-5.                             MANNER OF ACTION BY COMMITTEE.  A majority of the members of the Committee
qualified to act on any particular question may act by meeting or by writing
signed without meeting, and may execute any instrument or document required or
delegate to one of its members authority to sign.  The Committee from time to time may delegate the performance of
certain ministerial functions in connection with the Plan, such as the keeping
of records, to such person or persons as the Committee may select.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in
the Plan, the costs of administration of the Plan will be paid by Hospira.  Any notice required to be given to, or any
document required to be filed with the Committee, will be properly given or
filed if mailed or delivered in writing to the Secretary of Hospira.

 

8-6.                             RELIANCE UPON ADVICE.  The Board of Directors and the Committee may rely upon any
information or advice furnished to it by any Officer of Hospira or by Hospira’s
independent auditors, or other consultants, and shall be fully protected in
relying upon such information or advice. 
No member of the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be liable for
any act or failure to act on their part, excepting only any acts done or
omitted to be done in bad faith, nor shall they be liable for any act or
failure to act of any other member.

 

SECTION 9

AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND CHANGE OF

CONDITIONS RELATING TO PAYMENTS

 

The Plan will be
effective from its effective date until December 31, 2004.  The Board of Directors reserves the right to
amend the Plan from time to time and to terminate the Plan at any time.  No such amendment or any termination of the
Plan shall reduce any fixed or contingent obligations which shall have arisen
under the Plan prior to the date of such amendment or termination.

AGREEMENT REGARDING

CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), is made and entered into as of the    
day of April, 2004 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Hospira, Inc. (the
“Company”) and                 
(the “Executive”);

 

WITNESSETH THAT:

 

WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential to the best interests of
its shareholders to foster the continuous employment of key management
personnel, and the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes
that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, a change in control
might occur and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which
it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of
management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be
taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of
members of the Company’s management, including the Executive, to their assigned
duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances
arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Company;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the
Company and in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth
herein, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by and between the parties as follows:

 

1.   AGREEMENT
TERM. THE INITIAL “AGREEMENT TERM” SHALL BEGIN ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE AND SHALL
CONTINUE THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2007. 
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2004, AND AS OF EACH DECEMBER 31
THEREAFTER, THE AGREEMENT TERM SHALL EXTEND AUTOMATICALLY TO THE THIRD
ANNIVERSARY THEREOF UNLESS THE COMPANY GIVES NOTICE TO THE EXECUTIVE PRIOR TO
THE DATE OF SUCH EXTENSION THAT THE AGREEMENT TERM WILL NOT BE EXTENDED. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, IF A CHANGE IN CONTROL (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 7 BELOW),
OCCURS DURING THE AGREEMENT TERM, THE AGREEMENT TERM SHALL CONTINUE THROUGH AND
TERMINATE ON THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE DATE ON WHICH THE CHANGE IN CONTROL
OCCURS.

 

2.   ENTITLEMENT
TO CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS. The Executive shall be entitled to the Change in
Control Benefits described in Section 3 hereof if the Executive’s
employment by the Company is terminated during the Agreement Term but after a
Change in Control (i) by the Company for any reason other than Permanent
Disability or Cause, (ii) by the Executive for Good Reason or (iii) by the

 

1

 

Executive for any reason during the 30-day
period commencing on the first date which is six months after the date of the
Change in Control.  For purposes of this
Agreement:

 

(a)                                  A
termination of the Executive’s employment shall be treated as a termination by
reason of “Permanent Disability” only if, due to a mental or physical
disability, the Executive is absent from the full time performance of duties
with the Company for a period of at least twelve consecutive months and fails
to return to the full time performance of duties within 30 days after receipt
of a demand by the Company to do so.

 

(b)                                 The
term “Cause” shall mean the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal
conduct or gross misconduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to
the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on the
Executive’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done,
by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the
Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be deemed to have been
terminated for Cause unless and until the Company delivers to the Executive a
copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than
three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board
called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Executive and
an opportunity for the Executive, together with counsel, to be heard before the
Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was
guilty of conduct set forth above and specifying the particulars thereof in
detail.

 

(c)                                  The
term “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following
circumstances without the Executive’s express written consent:

 

(i)                                     a
significant adverse change in the nature, scope or status of the Executive’s
position, authorities or duties from those in effect immediately prior to the
Change in Control, including, without limitation, if the Executive was,
immediately prior to the Change in Control, an executive officer of a public
company, the Executive ceasing to be an executive officer of a public company;

 

2

 

(ii)                                  the
failure by the Company to pay the Executive any portion of the Executive’s
current compensation;

 

(iii)                               a
reduction in the Executive’s annual base salary (or a material change in the
frequency of payment) as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control
as the same may be increased from time to time;

 

(iv)                              the
failure by the Company to award the Executive an annual bonus in any year which
is at least equal to the annual bonus, awarded to the Executive under the
annual bonus plan of the Company for the year immediately preceding the year of
the Change in Control;

 

(v)                                 the
failure by the Company to award the Executive equity-based incentive
compensation (such as stock options, shares of restricted stock, or other
equity-based compensation) on a periodic basis consistent with the Company’s
practices with respect to timing, value and terms prior to the Change in
Control;

 

(vi)                              the
failure by the Company to continue to provide the Executive with the welfare
benefits, fringe benefits and perquisites enjoyed by the Executive immediately
prior to the Change in Control under any of the Company’s plans or policies,
including, but not limited to, those plans and policies providing pension, life
insurance, medical, dental, prescription, health and accident, disability,
vacation, and other executive perquisites;

 

(vii)                           the
relocation of the Company’s principal executive offices to a location more than
thirty-five miles from the location of such offices immediately prior to the
Change in Control or the Company requiring the Executive to be based anywhere
other than the Company’s principal executive offices except for required travel
to the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the
Executive’s business travel obligations immediately prior to the Change in
Control; or

 

(viii)                        the
failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to
the Company to

 

3

 

assume and agree to perform
this Agreement as contemplated by Section 16.

 

For purposes of any
determination regarding the existence of Good Reason, any good faith
determination by the Executive that Good Reason exists shall be conclusive.

 

3.   CHANGE IN
CONTROL BENEFITS. In the event of a termination of employment entitling the
Executive to benefits in accordance with Section 2, the Executive shall
receive the following:

 

(a)                                  The
Executive shall be entitled to receive the following employee welfare benefits:
medical, health and accident, dental, prescription, disability, and life
insurance coverage for the Executive (and, where applicable under the Company’s
welfare benefit plans, the Executive’s family) through the third anniversary of
the Executive’s date of termination of employment, or, if earlier, the date on
which the Executive becomes employed by another employer. The benefits provided
by the Company shall be no less favorable in terms of coverage and cost to the
Executive than those provided under the Company’s welfare benefit plans
applicable to the Executive (and, where applicable, the Executive’s family)
prior to the Change in Control, determined as if the Executive remained in the
employ of the Company through such third anniversary.

 

(b)                                 If
the Executive’s date of termination occurs after the end of a performance
period applicable to an annual incentive (bonus) award, and prior to the
payment of the award for the period, the Executive shall be entitled to a lump
sum payment in cash no later than twenty (20) business days after the date of
termination equal to the greatest of (i) the Executive’s annual incentive
(bonus) award for that period, as determined under the terms of that incentive
award arrangement, (ii) the Executive’s annual incentive (bonus) award for that
period, with the determination of the amount of such award based on an
assumption that the target level of performance had been achieved or (iii) the
Executive’s average annual incentive (bonus) award for the three annual
performance periods preceding that period (provided that if the Executive was
not a participant in the incentive award arrangement for any of those three
prior years, the averaging period shall be reduced from three years to the
number of years during the three year period in which the Executive was a
participant; and further provided that if the Executive’s award for any such
year was reduced because

 

4

 

the Executive was not a
participant for the full year, such amount shall be annualized for purposes of
the computation in this clause (iii)).

 

(c)                                  For
any annual incentive (bonus) plan or arrangement in which the Executive participates
for the performance period in which the Executive’s termination of employment
occurs, the Executive shall be entitled to a lump sum payment in cash no later
than twenty (20) business days after the date of termination equal to the
greater of (i) the Executive’s annual incentive (bonus) award for the
performance period that includes the date of termination, with the
determination of the amount of such award based on an assumption that the
target level of performance has been achieved or (ii) the Executive’s average
annual incentive (bonus) award for the three annual performance periods
preceding the performance period that includes the date of termination  (provided that if the Executive was not a
participant in the incentive award arrangement for any of those three prior
years, the averaging period shall be reduced from three years to the number of
years during the three year period in which the Executive was a participant;
and further provided that if the Executive’s award for any such year was reduced
because the Executive was not a participant for the full year, such amount
shall be annualized for purposes of the computation in this clause (ii));
provided that such payment shall be subject to a pro-rata reduction to reflect
the number of days in the performance period following the date of termination.
The amount payable under this paragraph (c) shall be in lieu of any amounts
that may otherwise be due to the Executive with respect to any annual incentive
(bonus) plan or arrangement in which the Executive participates for the
performance period in which the Executive’s date of termination occurs.

 

(d)                                 The
Executive shall be entitled to a lump sum payment in cash no later than twenty
(20) business days after the Executive’s date of termination equal to the sum
of:

 

(i)                                     an
amount equal to 2.99 times the Executive’s annual salary rate in effect on the
date of the Change in Control or, if greater, as in effect immediately prior to
the date of termination; plus

 

(ii)                                  an
amount equal to 2.99 times the greater of (x) the Executive’s annual incentive
(bonus) award for the

 

5

 

performance period that
includes the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, with the
determination of the amount of such award based on an assumption that the
target level of performance has been achieved or (y) the Executive’s average
annual incentive (bonus) award for the three annual performance periods
preceding the performance period that includes the date of termination (provided
that if the Executive was not a participant in the incentive award arrangement
for any of those three prior years, the averaging period shall be reduced from
three years to the number of years during the three year period in which the
Executive was a participant; and further provided that if the Executive’s award
for any such year was reduced because the Executive was not a participant for
the full year, such amount shall be annualized for purposes of the computation
in this clause (y).

 

The amount payable
under this paragraph (d) shall be inclusive of the amounts, if any, to which
the Executive would otherwise be entitled as severance pay under any severance
pay plan, or by law and shall be in addition to (and not inclusive of) any
amount payable under any written agreement(s) directly between the Executive
and the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

(e)                                  The
Executive shall be entitled to benefits under the Hospira Supplemental Pension
Plan (the “Supplemental Plan”) which shall be determined as if the Executive
had been credited for benefit accrual purposes with three additional years of
service and three additional years of eligible earnings at the higher of the
Executive’s eligible earnings on the date of termination or the Executive’s
eligible earnings on the date of the Change in Control and, for purposes of
determining the Executive’s eligibility for subsidized early retirement
benefits, determined as if the Executive were three years older than the
Executive’s actual age on the date of termination. For purposes of this
paragraph (e), “eligible earnings” shall include salary, annual incentive
(bonus) awards and all other forms of compensation used to calculate benefits
under the Supplemental Plan. The amounts of the annual incentive (bonus) awards
shall be calculated in accordance with this paragraph (e) and, to the extent
applicable, paragraphs (b) and (c) above. The Executive’s benefits under the
Supplemental Plan shall be determined, paid and

 

6

 

administered without regard to
any termination or amendment (including any amendment affecting actuarial
factors) of such plan or of any other plan, which is adopted on or after a
Change in Control or in contemplation of a Change in Control and, subject to paragraph
(f) below, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of that plan and the
Executive’s elections under that plan. Within twenty (20) days of Executive’s
date of termination, the Company shall provide the Executive with all forms,
elections and materials required in connection with the payment of the
Executive’s benefits under that plan. Within twenty (20) days of the Company’s
receipt of properly executed and completed forms, elections and other required
materials from the Executive, the Company shall pay the additional benefits to
the extent provided by the terms of such plan.

 

(f)                                    The
Company shall provide the Executive with outplacement services and tax and
financial counseling suitable to the Executive’s position through the third
anniversary of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, or, if
earlier, the date on which the Executive becomes employed by another employer.

 

If the
Executive is a participant in the Hospira Performance Incentive Plan or any
successor thereto, the Executive’s annual incentive (bonus) award for the
performance period which includes the date of termination under paragraphs (c)
and (d)(ii) above and, if applicable, for the period preceding the date of
termination under paragraph (b) shall, be determined under the bonus levels
communicated in writing to the Executive by the Company for such year.

 

4.   MITIGATION.
The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. Except
as set forth in paragraph 3(a) with respect to benefits, the Company shall not
be entitled to set off against the amounts payable to the Executive under this
Agreement any amounts owed to the Company by the Executive, any amounts earned
by the Executive in other employment after the Executive’s termination of
employment with the Company, or any amounts which might have been earned by the
Executive in other employment had the Executive sought such other employment.

 

5.   MAKE-WHOLE
PAYMENTS. If any payment or benefit to which the Executive (or any person on
account of the Executive) is entitled, whether under this Agreement or
otherwise, in connection with a Change in Control or the Executive’s
termination of employment (a “Payment”) constitutes a “parachute payment”
within the meaning of section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”), and as a result thereof the Executive is subject to a
tax under section 4999 of the Code, or any successor thereto, (an “Excise
Tax”), the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the
“Make-Whole Amount”) which is intended to make

 

7

 

the Executive whole for such Excise Tax. The
Make-Whole Amount shall be equal to (i) the amount of the Excise Tax, plus (ii)
the aggregate amount of any interest, penalties, fines or additions to any tax
which are imposed in connection with the imposition of such Excise Tax, plus
(iii) all income, excise and other applicable taxes imposed on the Executive
under the laws of any Federal, state or local government or taxing authority by
reason of the payments required under clauses (i) and (ii) and this clause
(iii).

 

(a)                                  For
purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the Executive shall be deemed to
be taxed at the highest marginal rate under all applicable local, state,
federal and foreign income tax laws for the year in which the Make-Whole Amount
is paid. The Make-Whole Amount payable with respect to an Excise Tax shall be
paid by the Company coincident with the Payment with respect to which such
Excise Tax relates.

 

(b)                                 All
calculations under this Section 5 shall be made initially by the Company
and the Company shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the Executive to
enable the Executive to timely file all applicable tax returns. Upon request of
the Executive, the Company shall provide the Executive with sufficient tax and
compensation data to enable the Executive or the Executive’s tax advisor to
independently make the calculations described in subparagraph (a) above and the
Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable fees and expenses incurred
for any such verification.

 

(c)                                  If
the Executive gives written notice to the Company of any objection to the
results of the Company’s calculations within 60 days of the Executive’s receipt
of written notice thereof, the dispute shall be referred for determination to
independent tax counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to
the Executive (“Tax Counsel”). The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of
such Tax Counsel. Pending such determination by Tax Counsel, the Company shall
pay the Executive the Make-Whole Amount as determined by it in good faith. The
Company shall pay the Executive any additional amount determined by Tax Counsel
to be due under this Section 5 (together with interest thereon at a rate
equal to 120% of the Federal short-term rate determined under
section 1274(d) of the Code) promptly after such determination.

 

(d)                                 The
determination by Tax Counsel shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties
unless the Internal Revenue Service, a court of competent jurisdiction, or such
other

 

8

 

duly empowered governmental
body or agency  (a “Tax Authority”)
determines that the Executive owes a greater or lesser amount of Excise Tax
with respect to any Payment than the amount determined by Tax Counsel.

 

(e)                                  If
a Taxing Authority makes a claim against the Executive which, if successful,
would require the Company to make a payment under this Section 5, the
Executive agrees to contest the claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, on request of the Company subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)                                     The
Executive shall notify the Company of any such claim within 10 days of becoming
aware thereof. In the event that the Company desires the claim to be contested,
it shall promptly (but in no event more than 30 days after the notice from the
Executive or such shorter time as the Taxing Authority may specify for
responding to such claim) request the Executive to contest the claim. The
Executive shall not make any payment of any tax which is the subject of the
claim before the Executive has given the notice or during the 30-day period
thereafter unless the Executive receives written instructions from the Company
to make such payment together with an advance of funds sufficient to make the
requested payment plus any amounts payable under this Section 5 determined
as if such advance were an Excise Tax, in which case the Executive will act
promptly in accordance with such instructions.

 

(ii)                                  If
the Company so requests, the Executive will contest the claim by either paying
the tax claimed and suing for a refund in the appropriate court or contesting
the claim in the United States Tax Court or other appropriate court, as
directed by the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any request by the Company for
the Executive to pay the tax shall be accompanied by an advance from the
Company to the Executive of funds sufficient to make the requested payment plus
any amounts payable under this Section 5 determined as if such advance
were an Excise Tax. If directed by the Company in writing the Executive will
take all action necessary to compromise or settle the claim, but in no event
will the Executive compromise or

 

9

 

settle the claim or cease to
contest the claim without the written consent of the Company; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Executive may take any such action if the Executive waives in
writing the Executive’s right to a payment under this Section 5 for any
amounts payable in connection with such claim. The Executive agrees to
cooperate in good faith with the Company in contesting the claim and to comply
with any reasonable request from the Company concerning the contest of the
claim, including the pursuit of administrative remedies, the appropriate forum
for any judicial proceedings, and the legal basis for contesting the claim.
Upon request of the Company, the Executive shall take appropriate appeals of
any judgment or decision that would require the Company to make a payment under
this Section 5. Provided that the Executive is in compliance with the
provisions of this section, the Company shall be liable for and indemnify the
Executive against any loss in connection with, and all costs and expenses,
including attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred as a result of, contesting the
claim, and shall provide to the Executive within 30 days after each written
request therefor by the Executive cash advances or reimbursement for all such
costs and expenses actually incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by
the Executive as a result of contesting the claim.

 

(f)                                    Should
a Tax Authority finally determine that an additional Excise Tax is owed, then
the Company shall pay an additional Make-Whole Amount to the Executive in a
manner consistent with this Section 5 with respect to any additional
Excise Tax and any assessed interest, fines, or penalties. If any Excise Tax as
calculated by the Company or Tax Counsel, as the case may be, is finally
determined by a Tax Authority to exceed the amount required to be paid under
applicable law, then the Executive shall repay such excess to the Company
within 30 days of such determination; provided that such repayment shall be
reduced by the amount of any taxes paid by the Executive on such excess which
is not offset by the tax benefit attributable to the repayment.

 

6.   TERMINATION
DURING POTENTIAL CHANGE IN CONTROL. If a Potential Change in Control (as
defined in Section 8) occurs during the Agreement Term, and the Company
terminates the Executive’s employment for reasons other than

 

10

 

Permanent Disability or Cause during such
Potential Change in Control, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the
benefits that the Executive would have received under Section 3, such
benefits to be calculated based upon the Executive’s compensation prior to the
actual termination of employment but paid within 20 business days of the date
of such termination.

 

7.   CHANGE IN
CONTROL. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed
to have occurred on the earliest of the following dates:

 

(a)                                  the
date any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned
by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its
Affiliates) representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the
Company’s then outstanding securities, excluding any Person who becomes such a
Beneficial Owner in connection with a transaction described in clause (i) of
paragraph (c) below; or

 

(b)                                 the
date on which the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a
majority of the number of directors then serving: individuals who, on the date
hereof, constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director whose
initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened
election contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating
to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by
the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved
or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then
still in office who either were directors on the date hereof or whose
appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or
recommended; or;

 

(c)                                  the
date on which there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or
any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation or
other entity, other than (i) a merger or consolidation (A) immediately
following which the individuals who comprise the Board immediately prior thereto
constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the Company, the
entity surviving such merger or consolidation or, if the Company or the entity
surviving such merger or consolidation is then a subsidiary, the ultimate
parent thereof and (B) which results in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to
represent (either by remaining

 

11

 

outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent
thereof), in combination with the ownership of any trustee or other fiduciary
holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the
securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (ii) a merger or
consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar
transaction) in which no Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities

Company or its Affiliates) representing 20% or more of the combined voting
power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

 

(d)                                 the
date on which the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated an agreement
for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, at least 50% of the
combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by
shareholders of the Company, in combination with the ownership of any trustee
or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company, in substantially the same proportions
as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the
consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions
immediately following which the record holders of the common stock of the
Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions
continue to have  substantially the
same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series
of transactions.

Section 12 of the Exchange Act; “Beneficial Owner” shall have the meaning
set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; “Exchange Act” shall

 

12

 

mean the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended from time to time; and “Person” shall have the meaning
given in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act, as modified and used in
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, except that such term shall not include (i)
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) a trustee or other fiduciary
holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its
Affiliates, (iii) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an
offering of such securities, or (iv) a corporation owned, directly or
indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company.

 

8.   POTENTIAL
CHANGE IN CONTROL. A “Potential Change in Control” shall exist during any
period in which the circumstances described in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d),
below, exist (provided, however, that a Potential Change in Control shall cease
to exist not later than the occurrence of a Change in Control):

 

(a)                                  The
Company enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in the
occurrence of a Change in Control, provided that a Potential Change in Control
described in this paragraph (a) shall cease to exist upon the expiration or
other termination of all such agreements;

 

(b)                                 Any
Person (without regard to the exclusions set forth in subsections (i) through
(iv) of such definition) publicly announces an intention to take or to consider
taking actions the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control;
provided that a Potential Change in Control described in this paragraph (b)
shall cease to exist upon the withdrawal of such intention, or upon a
determination by the Board that there is no reasonable chance that such actions
would be consummated;

 

(c)                                  Any
Person becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of
the Company representing 10% or more of either the then outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding securities (not including in the securities beneficially owned by
such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its
Affiliates);

 

(d)                                 The
Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this Agreement, a
Potential Change in Control exists; provided that a Potential Change in Control
described in this paragraph (d) shall cease to exist upon a determination by
the Board that the reasons that gave rise

 

13

 

to the resolution providing for
the existence of a Potential Change in Control have expired or no longer exist.

 

9.   STOCK AND
OPTION AWARDS. With respect to any award granted to the Executive under any of
the Company’s stock incentive plans, including the Company’s 2004 Long-Term
Stock Incentive Plan (the “Program”) or any successor program, the following
shall apply:

 

(a)                                  if
the award (other than Conversion Awards, [as defined in the Program] that are
incentive stock options granted pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code (each a “Converted Incentive Stock Option”) prior to the first
date on which the agreement regarding Change in Control, dated as of the 1st
day of January, 2000, by and between Abbott Laboratories and the Executive
(“Original Agreement”), was executed)includes a provision substantially similar
to the provision contained in the first paragraph in Appendix A, then after a
Change in Control no forfeiture shall be effected pursuant to such provision
unless the Executive shall have been terminated for “Cause” within the meaning
of paragraph 2(b) above;

 

(b)                                 if
the award (other than a Converted Incentive Stock Option granted prior to
June 20, 2003) includes a provision substantially similar to the provision
contained in the second paragraph in Appendix A, then after a Change in Control
no forfeiture shall be effected pursuant to such provision unless the Executive
shall have been terminated for “Cause” within the meaning of paragraph 2(b)
above; and

 

(c)                                  if
the Executive becomes entitled to Change in Control Benefits under
Section 2 above, then in determining the Executive’s rights with respect
to that award, other than Converted Incentive Stock Options granted prior to
the first date on which the Original Agreement was executed, the Executive
shall be treated as having incurred a termination of employment due to
retirement.

 

10.   WITHHOLDING.
All payments to the Executive under this Agreement will be subject to
withholding of applicable taxes. The Company shall withhold the applicable
taxes in an amount calculated at the minimum statutory rate and shall pay the
amount so withheld to the appropriate tax authority.

 

11.   NONALIENATION.
The interests of the Executive under this Agreement are not subject in any
manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,

 

14

 

assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment,
or garnishment by creditors of the Executive or the Executive’s beneficiary.

 

12.   AMENDMENT.
This Agreement may be amended or canceled only by mutual agreement of the
parties in writing without the consent of any other person. So long as the
Executive lives, no person, other than the parties hereto, shall have any
rights under or interest in this Agreement or the subject matter hereof.

 

13.   APPLICABLE
LAW. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to the conflict of law provisions
of any state.

 

14.   SEVERABILITY.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement,
and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable
provision were omitted (but only to the extent that such provision cannot be
appropriately reformed or modified).

 

15.   WAIVER OF
BREACH. No waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement by any other party, or of compliance with any condition or provision
of this Agreement to be performed by such other party, will operate or be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other party of any similar
or dissimilar provisions and conditions at the same or any prior or subsequent
time. The failure of any party hereto to take any action by reason of such
breach will not deprive such party of the right to take action at any time
while such breach continues.

 

16.   SUCCESSORS,
ASSUMPTION OF CONTRACT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Company and any successor of the Company. The Company will
require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement
in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to
perform it if no succession had taken place. This Agreement is personal to the
Executive and may not be assigned by the Executive without the written consent
of the Company. However, to the extent that rights or benefits under this
Agreement otherwise survive the Executive’s death, the Executive’s heirs and
estate shall succeed to such rights and benefits pursuant to the Executive’s
will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided that the Executive shall
have the right at any time and from time to time, by notice delivered to the
Company, to designate or to change the beneficiary or beneficiaries with
respect to such benefits.
