entity, and any Director of the Company whether compensated for such services or not. 
 (g) “Employee” shall mean any person
employed by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. The payment of a Director’s fee by the Company shall not be sufficient to constitute “employment” by the Company. 
 (h) “Grant” means the grant of Shares pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (i) “Shares” means Shares of restricted Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement. 
 2.
Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee that number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant to which this Agreement is attached, subject in all respects to the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the terms,
definitions and provisions of the Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. 2005 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) adopted by the Company, which is incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the
same defined meanings in this Agreement. 
 3. Shares Held in Escrow. Unless and until the Shares have vested in the manner set forth
in Sections 4 or 5, such Shares will be issued in the name of the Grantee and held by the Secretary of the Company as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), and will not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, and will not be pledged or
otherwise hypothecated. The Company may instruct the transfer agent for its Common Stock to place a legend on the certificates representing the Shares or otherwise note in its records as to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement.
The certificate or certificates representing the Shares will not be delivered by the Escrow Agent to the Grantee unless and until such Shares have vested and all other terms and conditions in this Agreement have been satisfied. 
 4. Vesting Schedule. Except as provided in Section 5, and subject to Section 6, all Shares subject to this Agreement will vest as set
forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant to which this Agreement is attached. Vesting will occur only if the Grantee remains an Employee or Consultant through the applicable vesting date. 
 5. Accelerated Vesting. 
 (a) In the
event of a termination of the employment, consultancy or directorship of Grantee as a result of his or her death or disability, all Shares subject to this Agreement shall immediately vest. 
 (b) In the event of a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Plan), all Shares subject to this Agreement shall immediately vest. 

 (c) The Board or Committee, in its discretion, shall have the right to accelerate the vesting of the
balance, or some portion of the balance, of the unvested Shares at any time. If so accelerated, such Shares will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Board or Committee. 
 6. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the balance of the Shares that have not vested pursuant to Sections 4 or
5 will thereupon be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company upon the date the Grantee ceases to be an Employee or Consultant. The Grantee hereby appoints the Escrow Agent with full power of
substitution, as the Grantee’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with irrevocable power and authority in the name and on behalf of the Grantee to take any action and execute all documents and instruments, including, without limitation, stock
powers which may be necessary to transfer the certificate or certificates evidencing such unvested Shares to the Company upon forfeiture. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the Grantee’s status as an Employee or Consult shall not be considered interrupted in the case of sick leave, military leave or any other leave of absence approved by the Board or Committee; provided
that such leave is for a period of not more than 90 days or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute. For purposes of this Agreement, a change in status from Employee to Consultant or from Consultant to
Employee will not constitute a termination of employment. 
 7. Withholding of Taxes. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares may be released from the escrow established pursuant
to Section 3 unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) will have been made by the Grantee with respect to the payment of income and employment taxes in respect of the amount that is considered compensation
includable in such person’s gross income, which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such Shares, pursuant to Section 3402(a) of the Code and any applicable state statute or regulation. 
 (b) At the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee, the Grantee may pay all or any part of the total estimated federal and state income tax
liability arising out of the receipt of such Shares, (a “Tax Event”) by tendering already-owned Shares or by directing the Company to withhold Shares otherwise to be transferred to the holder of such Shares as a result of the exercise or
receipt thereof in an amount equal to the estimated federal and state income tax liability arising out of such event, provided that no more shares may be withheld than are necessary to satisfy the holder’s actual minimum withholding obligation
with respect to the exercise of the Grant. In such event, the holder of such Shares must, however, notify the Committee of his or her desire to pay all or any part of the total estimated federal and state income tax liability arising out of a Tax
Event by tendering already-owned Shares or having Shares withheld prior to the date that the amount of federal or state income tax to be withheld is to be determined. For purposes of this Section, Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value
(as such term is defined in the Plan) on the date that the amount of the tax withholdings is to be determined. 
 8. Tax
Consequences. The Grantee has reviewed with the Grantee’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Grantee is relying solely on such advisors
and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Grantee understands that the Grantee (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Grantee’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Grantee understands that Section 83 of the Code taxes as ordinary income the difference between the purchase price for the Shares, which shall be $0.00 for the Grant of shares hereunder, and
the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. The Grantee understands that the Grantee may elect to be taxed as ordinary income the difference between the purchase price for the Shares, which shall be
$0.00 for the Grant of shares hereunder, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date hereof, at the time the Shares are received rather than when the restrictions on the Shares lapse by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the
Code with the I.R.S. within thirty (30) days from the date of grant. THE FORM FOR MAKING THIS ELECTION IS ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT A-1 HERETO.
 THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE GRANTEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) IF GRANTEE WANTS TO MAKE THAT ELECTION, EVEN IF THE GRANTEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS
REPRESENTATIVES, INCLUDING THE COMPANY’S LEGAL COUNSEL, TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE GRANTEE’S BEHALF. 

 9. Rights as Stockholder. Neither the Grantee nor any person claiming under or through the Grantee
will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its
transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Grantee or the Escrow Agent. 
 10. No Effect on Employment. The Grantee’s
employment with the Company is on an at-will basis only. Accordingly, the terms of the Grantee’s employment with the Company will be determined from time to time by the Company, and the Company will have the right, which is hereby expressly
reserved, to terminate or change the terms of the employment of the Grantee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause. For the purposes of this Section, employment shall also refer to consultancy or directorships. 

11. Adjustments. In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, stock dividend,
stock split, combination of shares, rights offering, divestiture or extraordinary dividend (including a spin-off or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company), the Shares shall be adjusted or replaced with the number and
kind of securities determined on the same basis as for all other issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. 
 12. Grant is Not
Transferable. This Grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment
or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this Grant
and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void. Shares that have vested in accordance with Section 4 and/or Section 5 hereof may be transferred in compliance with applicable securities laws.

 13. Additional Conditions to Release from Escrow. If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing,
registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the release of such Shares
from the escrow established pursuant to Section 3, such release will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the
Company. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority. 
 14. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Grantee and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

 15. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by Grantee or by the Company
forthwith to the Company’s Board of Directors or the Committee that administers the Plan, which shall timely review such dispute. Grantee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Board or
Committee upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Grant. 
 16. Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina excluding that body of law pertaining to conflicts of law. Should any provision of this Agreement be determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable,
the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable. 
 17. Further Instruments. The parties agree
to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. 
 18. 2005 Stock Plan. Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that Grantee is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Grant subject to all of the terms
and provisions thereof. Grantee has reviewed the Plan and this Grant in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Grant and fully understands all provisions of the Grant.
