1. Support of Baxter; Waiver of Appraisal Rights. 

(a) Baxter hereby consents to the inclusion of a statement, attributed to its chief executive officer, expressing its support for the Merger
in the form attached hereto as Annex I (the “Baxter Support Statement”) in any Baxalta or Parent press release announcing the entry into the Merger Agreement. Each of Parent and Baxalta agrees that, except as required by applicable law or
in the discharge of its obligations hereunder, it will not make any public statement (other than the Baxter Support Statement) of non-public information regarding Baxter’s support for the Merger or any statement regarding Baxter’s plans
with respect to, or the 

 
anticipated timing or sizing of, any Retained Shares Transaction (as defined below), in each case, without Baxter’s prior consent; provided that, Parent and Baxalta may publish, make, repeat
or otherwise use the Baxter Support Statement unless and until Baxter objects in writing to the use thereof. 
 (b) Baxter hereby waives,
and agrees not to exercise or assert, any appraisal rights under applicable law, including Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in connection with the Merger. 

2. Opinion Matters. 
 (a)
Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger (the “Merger Closing”), Baxter shall execute and deliver representation letters (the “Baxter Closing Representation Letters”) to Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP and KPMG LLP
substantially in the form of the representation letters (the “Baxter Signing Representation Letters”) executed and delivered by Baxter on the date immediately prior to the date that the Merger Agreement is entered into by Parent and
Baxalta (the “Merger Signing Date”) with such changes as are necessary to reflect any changes in facts prior to the Merger Closing. 

(b) Immediately prior to the Merger Closing, Parent shall execute and deliver representation letters (the “Parent Closing Representation
Letters”) to Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP and KPMG LLP substantially in the form of the representation letters (the “Parent Signing Representation Letters”) executed and delivered by Parent on the date immediately prior to the
Merger Signing Date with such changes as are necessary to reflect any changes in facts prior to the Merger Closing. 
 (c) Immediately prior
to the Merger Closing, Baxalta shall execute and deliver representation letters (the “Baxalta Closing Representation Letters” and, together with the Baxter Closing Representation Letters and the Parent Closing Representation Letters, the
“Closing Representation Letters”) to Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP and KPMG LLP substantially in the form of the representation letters (together with the Baxter Signing Representation Letters and Parent Signing Representation
Letters, the “Signing Representation Letters” and together with the Closing Representation Letters, the “Representation Letters”) executed and delivered by Baxalta on the date immediately prior to the Merger Signing Date with
such changes as are necessary to reflect any changes in facts prior to the Merger Closing. 
 (d) Baxter hereby represents and warrants that
the Baxter Signing Opinion (as defined below) has been furnished to Baxter, such that the condition set forth in Section 2(g)(ii)(A) is satisfied. Baxter shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to cause KPMG LLP to deliver the Baxter
Closing Opinion (as defined below) immediately prior to the Merger Closing, such that the condition set forth below in Section 2(g)(ii)(B) is satisfied and (ii) certify in writing to Parent and Baxalta immediately upon receipt of such
opinion that such opinion has been furnished. As of the date immediately prior to the Merger Signing Date, Baxter knows of no reason (x) why it would not be able to deliver the Baxter Closing Representation Letters, or (y) why it would not
be able to obtain the Baxter Closing Opinion. 

  
 2 

 (e) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP to
deliver the Parent Closing Opinion (as defined below) immediately prior to the Merger Closing, such that the condition set forth below in Section 2(g)(i)(B) is satisfied. As of the date immediately prior to the Merger Signing Date, Parent knows
of no reason (i) why it would not be able to deliver the Parent Closing Representation Letters or (ii) why it would not be able to obtain the Parent Closing Opinion. 

(f) As of the date immediately prior to the Merger Signing Date, Baxalta knows of no reason why it would not be able to deliver the Baxalta
Closing Representation Letters. 
 (g) Section 4.02(c) of the Tax Matters Agreement shall be waived with respect to the Merger Closing
if: 
 (i) (A) A tax opinion of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP is furnished to Parent, and a true, correct and complete copy of
such opinion is provided to Baxter and Baxalta, on the date immediately prior to the Merger Signing Date, and (B) Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP furnishes a tax opinion to Parent immediately prior to the Merger Closing that is a tax
opinion substantially the same in form and substance as the opinion referenced in clause (i)(A) (the “Parent Closing Opinion”), a true, correct and complete copy of which shall be provided by Parent to Baxter and Baxalta. In each case,
such opinion may rely on the applicable Representation Letters. 
 (ii) (A) A tax opinion of KPMG LLP is furnished to Baxter on the
date immediately prior to the Merger Signing Date (the “Baxter Signing Opinion”), and (B) KPMG LLP furnishes a tax opinion to Baxter immediately prior to the Merger Closing that is a tax opinion substantially the same in form and
substance as the opinion referenced in clause (ii)(A) above (the “Baxter Closing Opinion”). In each case, such opinion may rely on the applicable Representation Letters. Neither Baxalta nor Parent shall (in writing or otherwise) publicly
refer to or describe non-public information regarding the Baxter Signing Opinion or the Baxter Closing Opinion without the prior written consent of KPMG LLP or Baxter, except that the parties may disclose this Letter Agreement and describe its terms
in any Form 8-K, registration statement, proxy statement or circular relating to the Merger Agreement or the Merger.
 (h) Prior to the
earlier of (i) the Merger Closing and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement, each of Parent, Baxalta, and Baxter shall cooperate in good faith with the reasonable requests of the other parties in connection with matters related to
the opinions referred to in this Section 2 (including the preparation of materials by Parent, Baxalta, Baxter and their respective agents documenting diligence and other matters related to the Retained Shares Transactions). From and after the
execution of this Letter Agreement, at such time or times as may be reasonably requested by Baxter, each of Baxalta and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to execute certificates reasonably requested by Baxter containing appropriate
representations that Baxalta or Parent, as applicable, is, in good faith, able to make at such time, in connection with KPMG LLP’s delivery to Baxter of a tax opinion or opinions rendered in connection with the initial distribution of Baxalta
Common Stock on July 1, 2015, one or more Debt-for-Equity Exchanges, one or more Exchange Offers (as defined in the 

  
 3 

 
Registration Rights Agreement), one or more contributions of Retained Shares to Baxter’s U.S. pension fund or any dividend of Retained Shares to Baxter’s shareholders. Upon
Baxter’s reasonable request, Baxalta (or, after the Merger Closing, Parent) shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any person who is at the time of such request an executive officer of such party and who was an executive officer of Baxter
prior to the initial distribution of Baxalta Common Stock on July 1, 2015 to assist Baxter in confirming such facts as are within the knowledge of such executive officer. Each party shall make any such requests for cooperation with reasonable
advance notice and under reasonable circumstances so as to minimize any disruption to or impairment of the applicable party’s business. 

(i) Baxter acknowledges and agrees that Section 4.02(c) of the Tax Matters Agreement has been waived with respect to the execution of the
Merger Agreement. 
 3. Indemnification and Guarantee. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Tax Matters Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Distribution Agreement to the contrary, 

(i) Baxalta agrees that from and after the Merger Closing, subject to Section 3(b) hereof and clause (ii) below, Baxalta shall
indemnify and hold harmless Baxter and each of its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of any Tax-Related Losses attributable to or resulting from (in whole or
in part) the Merger; and 
 (ii) Baxalta shall not be obligated to indemnify Baxter for any Tax-Related Losses attributable to or resulting
from (in whole or in part) any disposition of Baxalta Common Stock by Baxter (including through Debt-for Equity Exchanges and Subsequent Distributions) other than: 

(A) the initial distribution of Baxalta Common Stock on July 1, 2015; 

(B) the transactions described in Section 4 (which for the avoidance of doubt include one or more Debt-for-Equity Exchanges, one or more
Exchange Offers, one or more contributions of Retained Shares to Baxter’s U.S. pension fund and any dividend of Retained Shares to Baxter’s shareholders) that in each case conclude prior to any Parent or Baxalta shareholder vote with
respect to the Merger; or 
 (C) the conversion at the Merger Closing of any Retained Shares held by Baxter into the right to receive Parent
American Depositary Shares and cash (it being understood that any Taxes imposed on Baxter with respect to the receipt of Parent American Depositary Shares and cash upon the Merger Closing do not constitute Tax Related Losses subject to
indemnification under Section 3(a)(i)). 

  
 4 

 Parent also agrees that, from and after the Merger Closing, Parent will guarantee the payment and
performance by Baxalta of its obligations and agreements under this Letter Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Distribution Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Distribution Agreement).  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything in the Tax Matters Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the
Distribution Agreement, or this Letter Agreement to the contrary, if Baxter intentionally misrepresents any fact in either the Baxter Signing Representation Letters or the Baxter Closing Representation Letters, the indemnification obligation of
Baxalta under Section 3(a) hereof and the indemnification obligation of Baxalta under Section 4.05 of the Tax Matters Agreement shall not apply to the extent any Tax-Related Losses are attributable to or resulting from any such intentional
misrepresentations. 
 (c) From and after the Merger Closing, Parent shall be afforded the same rights and have the same obligations as
Baxalta under Section 3.04 of the Tax Matters Agreement. 
 4. Retained Shares Transactions. Each of Parent and Baxalta
understands and acknowledges that Baxter (a) intends to effectuate (or cause to be effectuated) two Debt-for-Equity Exchanges (and related Underwritten Offerings (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)), one Exchange Offer and a
contribution of Retained Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) to Baxter’s U.S. pension fund, and (b) may potentially effectuate a dividend of Retained Shares to Baxter’s shareholders, in each case, in connection
with the offer, sale, exchange, placement, transfer, distribution or other disposition of Baxter’s 131,902,719 Retained Shares by Baxter or the then holders of such shares (each such Debt-for-Equity Exchange and Exchange Offer (but not, for the
avoidance of doubt, any U.S. pension fund contribution or any dividend of Retained Shares to Baxter’s shareholders), a “Retained Shares Transaction”), in each case, prior to any Parent or Baxalta shareholder vote with respect to the
Merger. Baxter shall use its reasonable best efforts to complete all Retained Shares Transactions prior to any Parent or Baxalta shareholder vote with respect to the Merger. 

5. Cooperation and Support of Parent and Baxalta. 

(a) Parent shall cooperate with and support Baxter and Baxalta to enable Baxalta to comply with the terms of, and fulfill Baxalta’s
obligations under, the Registration Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, Baxalta’s obligation to use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file Registration Statements (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) on an
appropriate form with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as expeditiously as possible upon receipt of a Demand Registration (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), it being acknowledged and agreed that Baxter delivered
notice of a Demand Registration on August 10, 2015 and, as of the date hereof, no Retained Shares have been registered or sold in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Registration Rights
Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.01(b) thereof), Baxter shall be entitled to make at least three additional Demand Registrations in connection with the Retained Shares Transactions contemplated hereby. 

  
 5

Baxalta, Baxter and such underwriter(s) or dealer manager(s), as applicable; and

Parent, Baxter and such underwriter(s) or dealer manager(s), as applicable. 
 6. Marketing Periods. For each Underwritten Offering
or Exchange Offer in connection with a Retained Shares Transaction, Baxter, the underwriter(s) or dealer manager(s), as applicable, and the applicable selling shareholders shall be afforded a period of time (each, a “Marketing Period”) to
publicly offer, sell, exchange, place, transfer or otherwise dispose of Retained Shares in connection with which the following conditions (the “Marketing Period Conditions”) shall have been satisfied: 

(a) all of the Baxalta Marketing Period Deliverables and, to the extent required, the Parent Marketing Period Deliverables, in each case, that
have been requested with reasonable advance notice have been completed and/or delivered, as applicable, prior to the commencement of the Marketing Period as set forth in Section 5(e) hereof and to the extent applicable, executed prior to or
during (as applicable) the Marketing Period; 
 (b) the applicable Registration Statement has been, or could be (without an amendment
thereto, as applicable), declared effective under the Securities Act (“SEC Clearance”) prior to the commencement of the Marketing Period (with the exception of a Marketing Period with respect to an Exchange Offer, with respect to which the
Registration Statement must have been declared effective prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer), and if declared effective, such Registration Statement continues to be effective for the remainder of the Marketing Period; 

(c) the Required Management Participation has been provided or made available as set forth in Section 5(d) above; 

  
 10 

 (d) each of Parent and Baxalta has complied with Section 8 hereof, with respect to any
Underwritten Offering in connection with a Debt-for-Equity Exchange, and no Restricted Period (as defined below) relating to a prior Debt-for-Equity Exchange, if any, shall be in effect; 

(e) in the case of an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Debt-for-Equity Exchange in connection with which a tender offer is not being
made for outstanding notes of Baxter, such period continues for at least four consecutive Business Days; 
 (f) in the case of an
Underwritten Offering in connection with a Debt-for-Equity Exchange in connection with which a tender offer is made for outstanding notes of Baxter, such period continues until the later of four consecutive Business Days following (i) SEC
Clearance and (ii) 14 calendar days after the early settlement date for such tender offer; and 
 (g) in the case of an Exchange Offer,
such period continues until such Exchange Offer has been held open for the greater of (i) at least 20 consecutive Business Days and (ii) up to 40 consecutive calendar days, as directed by Baxter in consultation with Parent, Baxalta and the
dealer manager(s) for such Exchange Offer. 
 If a lead managing underwriter(s) or dealer manager(s), as applicable, in consultation with
Baxter, Parent and Baxalta, reasonably determines that the occurrence of any calamity or crisis or change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere has caused a market disruption such that the public offer,
sale, exchange or placement, as applicable, of Retained Shares at such time is impracticable or inadvisable, the respective periods described in clauses (e), (f) and (g) above shall be tolled during such period. 

In addition, each of Parent and Baxalta shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause one Marketing Period with respect to a Debt-for-Equity
Exchange not involving a tender offer to be completed in full by no later than February 8, 2016; provided, that, if such Marketing Period is not completed in full by February 8, 2016, then each of Parent and Baxalta shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause such Marketing Period to be completed in full by no later than March 23, 2016, provided that no Pro Forma Financial Information is required or requested in connection therewith. In addition, Parent and Baxalta
shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause one Marketing Period with respect to all of the Marketing Period Conditions to be separately satisfied with respect to two Debt-for-Equity Exchanges (whether only one Registration Statement
is filed in connection therewith or otherwise) and one Exchange Offer prior to the Early Outside Date (as defined below) or the Outside Date (as defined below), as applicable. 

The parties hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause one Marketing Period for a Debt-for-Equity Exchange not
involving a tender offer to be completed prior to February 8, 2016. If one Debt-for-Equity Exchange Marketing Period is completed prior to February 8, 2016, (a) Baxter shall demand that a Registration Statement for an Underwritten
Offering in connection with a Debt-for-Equity Exchange be filed by no later than as promptly as practicable after the Second PFFI Deadline, (b) the parties purchasing notes in the related tender offer shall use their reasonable best efforts to
commence such tender offer for outstanding notes 

  
 11 

 
of Baxter by no later than the Second PFFI Deadline and (c) each party shall use reasonable best efforts to cause SEC Clearance for such Registration Statement to occur prior to or as
promptly as practicable after the date that is 14 calendar days after the early settlement date for such tender offer, which early settlement date shall occur no later than 13 Business Days after the commencement of such tender offer. 

If one Debt-for-Equity Exchange Marketing Period is not completed prior to February 8, 2016, (a) Baxter shall demand that an amended
Registration Statement for an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Debt-for-Equity Exchange not involving a tender offer be filed as promptly as practicable after the Second PFFI Deadline and (b) the parties hereto shall use their
respective reasonable best efforts to cause the associated Marketing Period to begin by no later than the date of SEC Clearance of the associated Registration Statement. Thereafter, (i) Baxter shall demand that another Registration Statement
for an Underwritten Offering in connection with a second Debt-for-Equity Exchange be filed by no later than as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to the preceding Debt-for-Equity Exchange (or, if the
offering is not completed, as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Marketing Period), (ii) the parties purchasing notes in the related tender offer for outstanding notes of Baxter shall use their reasonable best efforts to commence
such tender offer by no later than as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to the preceding Debt-for-Equity Exchange and (iii) each party shall use reasonable best efforts to cause SEC Clearance for
such Registration Statement to occur prior to or as promptly as practicable after the date that is 14 calendar days after the early settlement date for such tender offer, which early settlement date shall occur no later than 13 Business Days after
the commencement of such tender offer. 
 Thereafter, (a) Baxter shall demand that a Registration Statement for an Exchange Offer be
filed by no later than as promptly as practicable following fifteen calendar days after the public offering date set forth on the final prospectus with respect to the second Debt-for-Equity Exchange transaction (or, if the offering is not completed,
as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Marketing Period) and (b) the parties hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to commence such Exchange Offer as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the Restricted
Period with respect to the preceding Debt-for-Equity Exchange. 
 7. Standstill. Neither Baxalta nor Parent will conduct any
shareholder vote with respect to, or consummate, the Merger (the “Standstill”) until the earliest to occur of the following: (a) the date that all of the Marketing Period Conditions have been separately satisfied with respect to two
Debt-for-Equity Exchanges (whether only one Registration Statement is filed in connection therewith or otherwise) and one Exchange Offer, (b) the date that Baxter has disposed of all its Retained Shares and (c) May 26, 2016, as such
date may be extended as set forth below (the “Early Outside Date”), or, if one Marketing Period with respect to a Debt-for-Equity Exchange not involving a tender offer has not been completed in full by February 8, 2016 and Baxter has
complied with its obligation to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such completion, June 17, 2016, as such date may be extended as set forth below (the “Outside Date”). 

  
 12 

 Each of the Early Outside Date and the Outside Date, as applicable, shall be extended (in the
case of each clause below but without duplication) by the time periods indicated below: 
 (i) the number of days that the Baxalta 2015 10-K
is filed with the SEC after the Baxalta 10-K Deadline; 
 (ii) the number of days that the Baxalta 2016 Q1 10-Q is filed with the SEC after
the Baxalta Q1 10-Q Deadline; 
 (iii) the number of days that any requested or required (in accordance with Section 5(b)) Pro Forma
Financial Information is delivered after the Second PFFI Deadline or the Third PFFI Deadline, as applicable, if Pro Forma Financial Information is required or requested to be included in any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 5(b)
hereof; 
 (iv) (A) if Pro Forma Financial Information is not required or requested to be included in any Registration Statement
pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof, the number of days that the Baxalta 2015 ECD is delivered after the Baxalta 10-K Deadline or (B) if Pro Forma Financial Information is required or requested to be included in any Registration Statement
pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof, the number of days that the Baxalta 2015 ECD is delivered after March 18, 2016; 
 (v) the number
of days for which Parent or Baxalta determines that maintaining the effectiveness of any Registration Statement in connection with an Underwritten Offering or Exchange Offer or filing an amendment or supplement to any Registration Statement (or, if
a Registration Statement has not yet been filed, filing such a Registration Statement) would require the public disclosure of material nonpublic information and refuses to maintain such effectiveness or make any filing of such amendment, supplement
or Registration Statement, if each of the Marketing Period Conditions could otherwise have been satisfied during such period and any failure to satisfy such conditions is not due to Parent’s or Baxalta’s failure to comply with its
respective obligations hereunder; and 
 (vi) solely in the case of the Early Outside Date, if less than two Marketing Periods have been
completed as of the Early Outside Date (as it may be extended pursuant to clauses (i)-(v) above), and Baxter has complied with its obligations hereunder with respect to such Marketing Periods, the number of days until the completion of two
Marketing Periods; provided that the Early Outside Date (as it may be extended pursuant to clauses (i)-(v) above) shall not be extended by more than 30 days pursuant to this clause (vi). 

8. Clear Market; Lock-Up. 

(a) During each Marketing Period described in Section 6(e) above and each additional period of time for which Baxter agrees (with the
lead underwriter in connection with any Underwritten Offering) to similar restrictions with respect to the Retained Shares in connection with any Underwritten Offering contemplated hereby not to exceed (x) 30 days or
(y)

  
 13 

 
such shorter period as is appropriate for such offering as determined in the good faith judgment of the lead underwriter after consultation with Baxalta’s and Parent’s advisors (each
such period, a “Restricted Period”), Baxalta agrees that it will not, and it will cause its executive officers and directors not to, directly or indirectly, (i) pledge, issue, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, Baxalta Common Stock or any other equity or equity-linked securities of, or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any equity or equity-linked securities of, Baxalta (collectively, the “Baxalta Subject Securities”), (ii) subject to Section 1(a) hereof, publicly disclose or engage
in discussions concerning the intention to make any issuance, sale, pledge, disposition or registration with respect to the Baxalta Subject Securities, (iii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of the Baxalta Subject Securities or (iv) file with the SEC or cause to become effective any registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, or make any demand for or exercise any right with
respect to the registration with the SEC of, any Baxalta Subject Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above is to be settled by delivery of any Baxalta Subject Securities, in cash or
otherwise, without Baxter’s prior written consent, which may be given, conditioned or withheld in Baxter’s sole discretion. Baxalta shall enter into an agreement evidencing the restrictions in this Section 8 in customary form, which
form is reasonably satisfactory to Baxalta and Baxter and a single lead underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; provided that such restrictions may be included in the applicable underwriting agreement; provided, further, that any of the foregoing
restrictions may be waived by a single lead underwriter. 
 The restrictions contained in the preceding paragraph shall not apply to: 

(i) the filing of any Registration Statement contemplated by this Letter Agreement in connection with a Retained Shares Transaction
(including, without limitation, pursuant to a demand made by Baxter in accordance with Section 6 hereof) and any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Baxalta Subject Securities in connection with any Retained Shares Transaction; 

(ii) subject to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, Sections 2 and 7 hereof), the consummation of the Merger; 

(iii) the issuance by Baxalta of any Baxalta Subject Securities upon the exercise of any option or warrant or the conversion of any Baxalta
Subject Security, in each case, outstanding on the date hereof, or the vesting of any previously issued Baxalta Subject Security, including, without limitation, any restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance stock units; 

(iv) the grant of stock options, stock, restricted stock units or performance stock units pursuant to employee benefit plans in effect on the
date hereof; 

  
 14 

 (v) the filing of one or more registration statements on Form S-8 with the SEC with respect to
any Baxalta Subject Securities issued or issuable under any equity compensation plan in effect on the date hereof; 
 (vi) the sale or
forfeiture of any Baxalta Subject Security to satisfy any income, employment or social tax withholding and remittance obligations of an officer, a director or Baxalta in connection with any options of such officer or director that are expiring
within 90 days or any restricted stock units or performance share units that vest during any Restricted Period; or 
 (vii) the filing of
the registration statement required to be filed by Baxalta pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2015, by and among Baxalta, Baxter and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC and UBS Securities LLC as representatives of the initial purchasers. 
 (b) During each Marketing Period described in
Section 6(e) above and each Restricted Period, Parent agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, (i) pledge, issue, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any
option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, Parent American Depositary Shares or any other equity or equity-linked securities of, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for any equity or equity-linked securities of, Parent (collectively, the “Parent Subject Securities”), (ii) subject to Section 1(a) hereof, publicly disclose or engage in discussions concerning the intention to make
any issuance, sale, pledge, disposition or registration with respect to the Parent Subject Securities, (iii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Parent
Subject Securities or (iv) file with the SEC or cause to become effective any registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, or make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration with the SEC of, any Parent
Subject Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above is to be settled by delivery of any Parent Subject Securities, in cash or otherwise, without Baxter’s prior written consent, which may
be given, conditioned or withheld in Baxter’s sole discretion. Parent shall enter into an agreement evidencing the restrictions in this Section 8 in customary form, which form is reasonably satisfactory to Parent and Baxter and a single
lead underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; provided that such restrictions may be included in the applicable underwriting agreement; provided, further, that any of the foregoing restrictions may be waived by a single lead underwriter. 

The restrictions contained in the preceding paragraph shall not apply to: 

(i) subject to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, Sections 2 and 7 hereof), the filing of the Registration Statement on Form S-4
with respect to the Merger and the consummation of the Merger; 

  
 15 

 (ii) the issuance by Parent of any equity awards or of any Parent Subject Securities upon the
exercise or settlement of equity awards of Parent; or 
 (iii) the filing of one or more registration statements on Form S-8 with the SEC
with respect to any Parent Subject Securities issued or issuable under any equity compensation plan in effect on the date hereof.

 12. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not
part of this Letter Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Letter Agreement. 

13. Counterparts. This Letter Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which counterparts shall be considered one
and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. This Letter Agreement may be executed by facsimile or PDF signature and a facsimile or PDF signature
shall constitute an original signature for all purposes. 
 14. Governing Law. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, irrespective of the choice of laws and principles of the State of Delaware, as to all matters, including, without limitation, matters of validity, construction, effect,
enforceability, performance and remedies. 
 15. Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”),
the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware, in respect of all matters arising out of or relating to this Letter Agreement, the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Letter Agreement, and of
the documents referred to in this Letter Agreement, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any Proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that (i) it is not subject thereto,
(ii) such Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts, (iii) the venue thereof may not be appropriate or (iv) this Letter Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and each of the
parties hereto irrevocably agrees that all claims with respect to such Proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in such courts. The parties hereto irrevocably consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts in respect of
the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Letter Agreement. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any controversy that may arise under this Letter Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and
therefore each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Letter Agreement. 

16. Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the
provisions of this Letter Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the
parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Letter Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Letter
Agreement in any court referred to in the preceding paragraph, without proof of damages or otherwise (and each party hereto hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in 

  
 19 

 
connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party hereto may be entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the
right to specific enforcement is an integral part of this Letter Agreement and without such right, none of the parties hereto would have entered into this Letter Agreement. The parties hereto further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific
enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy.
