 QUINTILES IMS HOLDINGS, INC.

 2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 

AWARD AGREEMENT 

(Awarding Performance Shares) 

THIS AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Quintiles IMS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and the participant named above (the “Participant”) pursuant to the provisions of the Quintiles IMS Holdings, Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference.
Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control. 

WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the
Participant is providing, or has agreed to provide, services to the Company, or Affiliate or a Subsidiary of the Company, as an Employee, Director or Third Party Service Provider; and 

WHEREAS, the Company considers it desirable and in its best interests that the Participant be given a personal stake in the Company’s
growth, development and financial success through the grant of performance shares (the “Performance Shares”) providing an opportunity to earn shares of the $.01 par value common stock of the Company (“Shares”) subject to the
vesting and other terms and conditions set forth herein. Each Performance Share represents an unfunded and unsecured right to receive one Share, although the number of Shares issued will be determined in accordance with Exhibit A. Performance
Shares are not property or Shares prior to settlement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set
forth herein, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Performance Shares. Effective as of [insert AWARD DATE] (the
“Date of Grant”), the Company hereby grants to the Participant an award (the “Award”) of Performance Shares providing an opportunity to earn [insert TOTAL PERFORMANCE SHARES GRANTED] Shares if designated performance goals
are achieved at target levels, an opportunity to earn 50% of such target number of Shares if designated performance goals are achieved at threshold levels and an opportunity to earn 200% of the target number of Shares if designated performance goals
are achieved at or above the maximum levels, subject in all cases to vesting, forfeiture and other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Exhibit A). For the avoidance of doubt, the total number of Performance Shares
subject to the Award and the performance goals set forth herein are subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.4 

 
of the Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, “Employer” shall mean the Affiliate or Subsidiary that employs the Participant (to the extent the Participant is not directly employed by
the Company). 
 No rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Performance Shares as a result of the mere grant of the
Performance Shares. Such rights shall exist only after issuance of the Shares in accordance with Section 4 hereof and Exhibit A. The Participant shall not be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, any dividends or
payments (i.e., “dividend equivalents”) equivalent to cash, stock or other property paid by the Company as dividends on the Company’s Shares prior to the vesting of the Performance Shares. 

2. Earning and Vesting. The Performance Shares are subject to forfeiture until they vest. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement and the Plan, and unless earlier terminated or forfeited, the Performance Shares will be earned and vest in accordance with the terms of Exhibit A. Further, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the
contrary, in no event will any Performance Shares that are not vested immediately prior to the time of a Sale of the Company become vested because of such event. 

3. Termination of the Award. If the Participant’s employment by, or other service to, the Company or any of its Affiliates or
Subsidiaries (“Employment”) ceases for any reason prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Performance Shares will be forfeited immediately, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. 

Any outstanding Performance Shares that do not vest in accordance with the terms set forth in Exhibit A will terminate on the
Determination Date, without any consideration due to the Participant, subject to earlier termination as provided for above. 
 Other
provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, including Sections 8 and 9 of the Agreement, may result in the termination of the Award prior to the end of the Performance Period or the Determination Date, as applicable. 

4. Settlement. 
 (a) Not
later than thirty (30) days following the Determination Date (as defined in Exhibit A), but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the end of the Performance
Period, the Company shall deliver to the Participant the number of Shares that become earned and that vest on the Determination Date, determined in accordance with Exhibit A. Payment may be made by issuance of Shares in the name of the
Participant and delivery of such Shares to the Participant or, in the discretion of the Company, by issuance and delivery of such Shares to a financial institution for the account of the Participant, or in any other commercially reasonable
manner as may be determined by the Company. 
 (b) The Participant’s sales or other dispositions of Shares acquired upon settlement of
the Performance Shares will be subject to applicable restrictions under Company policies applicable to the Participant, including those covering insider trading by employees. 

 (c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole
discretion, settle the Participant’s Performance Shares in the form of (1) a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares (i) is prohibited under local law, (ii) would require the Participant, the Company and/or the Employer
to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Participant’s country of residence (and/or country of employment, if different), or (iii) is administratively burdensome; or (2) Shares, but require the
Participant to immediately sell such Shares (in which case, as a condition to the grant of this Award, the Participant hereby expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue sales instructions, on the Participant’s behalf) to any
brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold your Shares and other amounts acquired under the Plan. 
 5.

of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws:

 6. Non-Transferability of
Performance Shares. Except as may be otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the Performance Shares are non-assignable and are not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or

restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the Performance Shares as it deems advisable, including without limitation, minimum holding period requirements, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any

(b) By accepting the Performance Shares, the Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that his or her rights, and those of any permitted
transferee of the Performance Shares, with respect to the Performance Shares, including to any Shares acquired upon settlement of the Performance Shares or proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to Section 11.3 and 20.9 of the Plan
(including any successor provision). Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed as limiting the general application of Section 16(e) of this Agreement. 

(c) To the extent the Participant is covered by the Quintiles IMS Holdings, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan (the “Severance
Plan”), adopted on November 5, 2015: Upon a termination of the Participant’s employment or service with the Company, the effects of such termination of employment or service on the Award shall be as set forth in this Agreement, and by
accepting this Award, the Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the treatment of equity awards upon a termination of employment or service set forth in Section 5.01 of the Severance Plan, shall not in any respect apply to the Award
granted hereunder. 
 9. Other Undertakings. To protect the interests of the Company and its direct and indirect Affiliates and
Subsidiaries (individually, a “QuintilesIMS Company” and collectively, the “QuintilesIMS Companies”), including the confidential information of the QuintilesIMS Companies and the confidential information of their respective
customers, data suppliers, prospective customers and other companies with which the QuintilesIMS Companies have a business relationship, and in consideration of the covenants and promises and other valuable consideration described in this Agreement,
the Company and the Participant agree as follows: 
 (a) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she is bound by the
confidentiality and other covenants contained in one or more restrictive covenant and confidentiality agreements that he or she has executed with a QuintilesIMS Company, which covenants and agreements are incorporated herein by reference and shall
survive any settlement, expiration, forfeiture or other termination of this Agreement or the Performance Shares issuable hereunder. The Participant also acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be an affiliate for purposes of such restrictive
covenant and confidentiality agreements. 

 (b) The Participant acknowledges that the opportunity to participate in the Plan and the
financial benefits that may accrue from such participation is good, valuable and sufficient consideration for the following: 
  

	 	(i)	The Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she is and will remain bound by the non-competition, non-solicitation and other
covenants contained in the restrictive covenant and confidentiality agreement(s) that he or she has executed with any of the QuintilesIMS Companies to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

 

	 	(ii)	The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the period during which the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in any such
agreement(s) will apply following a termination of Employment shall be extended from twelve (12) months to eighteen (18) months; provided, however, that the remedies available for breach of any
non-competition or non-solicitation covenants during such extended six-month period shall be limited to the following:
(x) to the extent then outstanding, the forfeiture of the Performance Shares for no consideration, and (y) to the extent the Performance Shares have been settled on or after the date that is eighteen (18) months before the
Participant’s cessation of Employment, with respect to the Shares issued upon such settlement (including Shares withheld for taxes), the Participant shall pay to the Company an amount equal to (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value of such
Shares as of the date of settlement, plus (B) the excess, if any, of the aggregate proceeds of all sales of such Shares over the amount described under subsection (A) above. (For this purpose, the Participant’s earliest sales of
Shares following such settlement will be deemed sales of the Shares acquired upon such settlement.) The Company shall also be entitled to the foregoing remedies in the event of a material breach of any confidentiality,
non-disclosure or other similar covenant contained in the restrictive covenant and confidentiality agreement(s) that the Participant has executed with a QuintilesIMS Company. 

 

	 	(iii)	The Participant further acknowledges and agrees to the Company’s application, implementation and enforcement of (a) such policy set forth in Section 9(b)(ii) of this Agreement and (b) Section 20.19
of the Plan and any provision of applicable law, stock exchange rule or Company policy relating to cancellation, recoupment, rescission or payback of compensation and expressly agrees that the Company may take such actions as are necessary to
effectuate such policy (as applicable to the Participant) or applicable law or stock exchange rule without further consent or action being required by the Participant. For purposes of the foregoing, the Participant expressly and explicitly
authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Participant’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold Participant’s Shares and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement and such policy conflict, the terms of such policy, applicable law or stock
exchange rule shall prevail. 

  

	 	(iv)	By accepting the Performance Shares, the Participant consents to one or more deductions from any amounts any QuintilesIMS Company owes the Participant from time to time in an aggregate amount equal to all amounts
described in subsection (ii) above, to the extent such deductions are permitted by applicable law. Any such deduction from an amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A may only take place at the time the amount
would otherwise be payable to the Participant, except to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A. 

 10. 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, the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement shall be
binding upon the Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, subject to Section 6 of this Agreement. 

11. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by the Participant or by the Company
forthwith to the Committee, which shall review such dispute at its next regular meeting. The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties. 

12. Tax Consequences. The delivery of Shares and the subsequent disposition of those Shares may cause the Participant to be subject to
federal, state and/or foreign taxation. The Participant should consult a tax advisor regarding the tax implications of receiving and disposing of Shares. 

Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local
taxes or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefit, payment on account or other tax-related withholding
(“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the
Participant’s responsibility and that the Company and the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the
Award, including the grant of the Performance Shares, the vesting of the Performance Shares, the subsequent issuance or sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the Performance Shares and the receipt of any dividends, and (b) do not commit to
structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Performance Shares to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items. 

Prior to the delivery of Shares upon the vesting of the Participant’s Performance Shares, if the Participant’s country of residence
(and/or the country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company shall withhold a sufficient number of whole Shares otherwise issuable upon the vesting of the Performance
Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares delivered upon such vesting of the Performance Shares. The cash
equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items. In the event that withholding in shares is prohibited or problematic under applicable law or otherwise
may trigged adverse consequences to the Company or the 

 
Employer, the Company and/or the Employer may withhold the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares in cash from the
Participant’s regular salary and/or wages or any other amounts payable to the Participant. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares by the Company or through the Participant’s regular
salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to the Participant, no Shares will be issued to the Participant (or the Participant’s estate) upon vesting of the Performance Shares unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the
Committee) have been made by the Participant with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect
to such Performance Shares. By accepting this grant of Performance Shares, the Participant expressly consents and agrees to the withholding of Shares and/or withholding from the Participant’s regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable
to the Participant as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the Performance Shares and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the Participant’s sole responsibility. 

13. Participant Data Privacy. As a condition of the grant of these Performance Shares, the Participant consents to the
collection, use and transfer of personal data as described in this paragraph. The Participant understands that the Company and its Affiliates or Subsidiaries hold certain personal information about the Participant, including but not limited to the
Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, shares of common stock or directorships held in the Company,
details of all Performance Shares or other entitlement to shares of common stock awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan
(“Data”). The Participant further understands that the Company and/or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purposes of implementation, administration and management of the
Participant’s participation in the Plan, and that the Company and/or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the
Plan. The Participant understands that these recipients may be located in the Participant’s country of residence or elsewhere. The Participant authorizes them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for
the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding shares of
common stock on the Participant’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Shares acquired on settlement may be deposited. 

The Participant understands that the Participant may, at any time, view Data, request information about the storage and processing of Data,
require any amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consent herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consent herein
on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Participant’s employment status or service with the Employer will be unaffected; the only consequence of
refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would be unable to administer or maintain the Awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent

 
may affect his or her ability to receive Awards and participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the
Participant understand that the Participant may contact his or her local human resources representative. 
 14. Confidentiality. The
Participant agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to anyone other than the members of the Participant’s immediate family or the Participant’s counsel or financial advisors and agrees to advise such persons of the confidential
nature of this offer. 
 15. Governing Law. This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to
the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the
domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. 
 Any legal proceeding arising out of this Plan or this Agreement shall be brought
exclusively in the Federal or State courts located in the State of Delaware. The Participant agrees to submit to personal jurisdiction and to venue in those courts. The Participant further agrees to waive all legal challenges and defenses to the
appropriateness of Delaware as the site of any such legal proceeding and to the application of the laws of the State of Delaware and any applicable Federal laws. 

16. Miscellaneous. 
 (a)
Notice hereunder shall be given to the Company at its principal place of business, and shall be given to the Participant at the last address shown in the Company’s records, or in either case at such other address as one party may subsequently
furnish to the other party in writing. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Award shall be subject
to any special terms and conditions for the Participant’s country of residence (and/or country of employment, if different) set forth in the addendum to this Agreement (the “Addendum”). Further, if the Participant transfers residency
and/or employment to another country reflected in the Addendum, at the time of transfer, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the
application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Award and the Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms
and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Participant’s transfer). In all circumstances, any applicable addendum shall constitute part of this Agreement. 

(c) The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Award, any Shares acquired pursuant to the Performance Shares and the
Participant’s participation in the Plan to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the
operation and administration of the Award and the Plan. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring the Participant to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. 

 (d) The issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Performance Shares will be contingent upon the
Company’s receipt of any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company and/or the Committee may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Shares pursuant to the settlement of the Performance Shares and any subsequent resale of
the Shares will be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Participant. The Participant shall
not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any rights with respect to dividends or other rights of a holder with respect to, any Shares underlying the Performance Shares unless and until the Company shall have issued and delivered the Shares to
the Participant in accordance with Section 4 and Exhibit A of this Agreement, and the Participant’s name shall have been entered as the shareholder of record on the books of the Company (if an alternative method of delivery is
elected by the Company under Section 4, Participant will be required to take appropriate steps to cause any nominee to transfer Shares into the name of the Participant in order for Participant to become a record holder of the Shares).
Thereupon, the Participant shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such Shares. 
 (e) This Agreement is
subject in its entirety to the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant has been furnished to the Participant. Accepting the Award, the Participant agrees to be bound by
the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. 
 (f) The Agreement, Exhibit A, the Addendum (if applicable) and the Plan
constitute the entire understanding between the Participant and the Company regarding the Performance Shares, and any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Performance Shares are superseded. This Agreement may not be modified
adversely to the Participant’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Participant. 
 (g) Any provision of
this Agreement, Exhibit A or the Addendum that is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction and subject to this Section, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions thereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provisions of this Agreement, Exhibit A and the Addendum invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any
other jurisdiction. If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to
render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable. No waiver of any provision or violation of the Agreement or the Addendum by the Company shall be implied by the Company’s forbearance or failure to take action. 

(h) The Performance Shares are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Plan and this Agreement shall be
administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that this Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and that it has failed to comply with the requirements of that Section, the Company may, at the
Company’s sole discretion and without Participant consent, amend the Agreement to cause the terms and conditions of the Agreement to comply with Code Section 409A 

 
or be exempt from Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be
incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code. 
 17.
Acknowledgement and Acceptance. 
 (a) In accepting the Performance Shares, the Participant acknowledges and agrees
(i) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (ii) that the grant of Performance Shares does not create any contractual or other right to receive
future grants of Performance Shares or any right to continue an employment or other relationship with the Company (for the vesting period or otherwise); (iii) that the Participant remains subject to discharge from such relationship to the same
extent as if the Performance Shares had not been granted; (iv) that all determinations with respect to any such future grants, including, but not limited to, when and on what terms they shall be made, will be at the sole discretion of the
Committee; (v) that participation in the Plan is voluntary; (vi) that the value of the Performance Shares is an extraordinary item of compensation that is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract if any; and
(vii) that the Performance Shares are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or
similar benefits. 
 (b) If the Participant does not want to accept the Performance Shares on the terms and conditions set out in this
Agreement, the Plan and/or any related documents, the Participant may choose the “Decline” button found [insert site/location]. The Performance Shares will then be cancelled and no other benefit will be due to the Participant in lieu
thereof. If Participant does not “Decline” the Performance Shares within thirty (30) days from the Grant Date, the Participant shall be deemed to have accepted the Performance Shares and shall be deemed to have agreed to the terms and
conditions set out in this Agreement, the Plan, Exhibit A, the Addendum (as applicable) and/or any related documents. 
 (c) All
questions arising under the Agreement, Exhibit A, the Addendum (if applicable) and the Plan shall be decided by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

(d) Neither the grant of the Performance Shares, nor the issuance of Shares in settlement of the Performance Shares, will give the Participant
any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affect the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to discharge (as may otherwise be permitted under local law) or discipline the Participant at
any time, or affect any right of the Participant to terminate his or her Employment at any time. 
 (e) The grant of the Performance Shares
under the Plan is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive Performance Shares or benefits in lieu of Performance Shares in the future. The terms of future Performance
Shares, if any, will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of such Award, the number of Shares subject to the Performance Shares, and the vesting provisions applicable to the
Performance Shares. 

 (f) The headings preceding the text of the sections hereof are inserted solely for convenience of
reference, and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect. 
 (g) The grant of
Performance Shares is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings
with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the grant of the Performance Shares is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities. 

(h) It is the Participant’s express intent that this Agreement, Exhibit A, the Addendum, the Plan and all other documents,
notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the Award, be drawn up in English. If the Participant has received this Agreement, Exhibit A, the Addendum, the Plan or any other documents related to the
Award translated into a language other than English, and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version shall control. 

(i) As a condition to the Performance Shares, the Participant agrees to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash
acquired under the Plan in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). In addition, the Participant also agrees to take any and all actions,
and consents to any and all actions taken by the Company and any affiliate or subsidiary, as may be required to allow the Company and any affiliates of subsidiaries to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant’s country
of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Participant’s personal obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in the
Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different). 
 By choosing the “Accept” button provided
[insert site/location], the Participant accepts the Performance Shares as described above and the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement, Exhibit A, the Addendum (as applicable), the Plan and any related documents. Copies of the Plan

 Exhibit A 

Performance Shares – Terms and Conditions 

1. EPS Shares and TSR Shares. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the Performance Shares are designated as “EPS Shares” and
twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Shares are designated as “TSR Shares”. 
 2. Definitions. The terms set forth
below, as used in this Exhibit A, shall have the following meanings: 
 (a) “Adjusted Diluted EPS” means, with
respect to each fiscal year during the Performance Period, Earnings Per Share, as adjusted to reflect the same adjustments as are made to Adjusted Net Income with respect to such fiscal year (as reported with respect to the relevant fiscal year in
the Company’s financial statements), divided by the weighted-average Shares outstanding as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, calculated on a diluted basis and reported in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
The performance goal for Adjusted Diluted EPS shall be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain corporate events in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Plan and may be subject to such other adjustments for material or non-recurring events occurring during the relevant fiscal year as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

(b) “Base Year” means the fiscal year immediately preceding the beginning of the Performance Period. 

(c) “Comparator Group” shall mean the companies listed in the S&P 500. 

A company listed in the S&P 500 that ceases to be publicly traded during the first two years of the Performance Period will not be treated
as part of the Comparator Group. A company listed in the S&P 500 that ceases to be publicly traded in the final year of the Performance Period will be included in the Comparator Group and its Total Shareholder Return will be determined by
treating the last day of public trading of the company’s shares as the valuation date for that company, with no further adjustment to that company’s Total Shareholder Return for the remainder of the Performance Period. 

(d) “Determination Date” shall mean the date on which the Committee determines the number of Shares that have been earned with
respect to the EPS Shares and the TSR Shares, which date shall occur not later than sixty (60) days after the close of the Performance Period. 

(e) “Earnings Per Share” shall mean, with respect to each fiscal year during the Performance Period, the Company’s earnings per
share, fully diluted, as reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). 
 (f) “EPS
Growth” shall mean the compound annual growth rate, expressed as a percentage, of Adjusted Diluted EPS during the Performance Period, which shall be measured by comparing the Adjusted Diluted EPS in the final year of the Performance Period to
Adjusted Diluted EPS in the Base Year. 

 (g) “Performance Period” shall mean the period beginning on January 1, 2017 and
ending on December 31, 2019. 
 (h) “Total Shareholder Return” shall mean the change in the value expressed as a percentage
of a given dollar amount invested in a company’s most widely publicly traded stock over the Performance Period, taking into account both stock price appreciation (or depreciation) and the reinvestment of dividends (including the cash value of non-cash dividends) in such stock of the company. The ten (10) trading-day average closing value of the Company’s Shares and the stock of the Comparator Group
companies, as applicable (i.e., average closing values over the period of ten (10) trading days ending on the day prior to the beginning of the Performance Period and the final ten (10) trading days ending on the final day of the
Performance Period) will be used to value the Company’s Shares and the stock of the Comparator Group companies, as applicable. Dividend reinvestment will be calculated using the closing price of the Shares or the stock of the applicable
Comparator Group company, as applicable, on the dividend payment date or, if no trades were reported on such date, the latest preceding date for which a trade was reported. 

(i) “TSR Measurement Date” means the last day of the Performance Period, except as otherwise provided in the definition of
“Comparator Group” or as determined by the Committee. 
 (j) “TSR Percentile Rank” shall mean the percentage of Total
Shareholder Return values among the Comparator Group companies at the TSR Measurement Date that are equal to or lower than the Company’s Total Shareholder Return at the TSR Measurement Date, provided that if the Company’s Total Shareholder
Return falls between the Total Shareholder Return of two companies in the Comparator Group, the TSR Percentile Rank shall be adjusted by interpolating the Company’s Total Shareholder Return on a straight line basis between the Total Shareholder
Return of the two Comparator Group companies that are closest to the Company’s. For example, if there were ten Comparator Group companies and the Company’s Total Shareholder Return falls at the point that is equal to 75% of the difference
between the 5th highest Total Shareholder Return and the 6th highest Total Shareholder Return of the Comparator Group companies at the TSR
Measurement Date, the TSR Percentile Rank would be deemed to be 57.5%. For purposes of the TSR Percentile Rank calculation, the Company will be excluded from the group of Comparator Group companies. 

3. Earning of EPS Shares. No EPS Shares shall vest unless they have become earned in accordance with this Section 3 of Exhibit
A. No portion of the EPS Shares shall become earned unless EPS Growth is equal to or greater than [threshold%]. If the EPS Growth performance condition described in the previous sentence has been met, the number of Shares that may be
earned with respect to the EPS Shares shall be equal to the target number of EPS Shares multiplied by the “Applicable Percentage” set forth in the table below. In the event that the EPS Growth falls between the amounts listed in the table
below, the Applicable Percentage shall be interpolated on a straight line basis and the percentage of the target number of EPS Shares earned shall be based on such interpolated percentage. If EPS Growth is greater than [Maximum%], the Applicable
Percentage shall be 200%.

 4. Earning of TSR Shares. No TSR Shares shall vest unless they have become earned in
accordance with this Section 4 of Exhibit A. No portion of the TSR Shares shall become earned unless the TSR Percentile Rank is at or above the 25th percentile. If the TSR
Percentile Rank performance condition described in the previous sentence has been met, the number of Shares that may be earned with respect to the TSR Shares shall be equal to the target number of TSR Shares multiplied by the “Applicable
Percentage” set forth in the table below. In the event that TSR Percentile Rank falls between two of the percentiles listed in the table below, the Applicable Percentage shall be interpolated on a straight line basis and the percentage of the
target number of TSR Shares earned shall be based on such interpolated percentage. If TSR Percentile Rank is above the 75th percentile, the Applicable Percentage shall be 200%. 

 

							
	 	  	TSR Percentile Rank	  	Applicable Percentage

 5. Vesting of Performance Shares. Subject to Section 12 of the Agreement, the Participant shall
become vested in the number of EPS Shares and/or TSR Shares that are earned under Section 3 or Section 4, as applicable, of this Exhibit A on the Determination Date. The number of Shares issuable in respect of the vested EPS Shares
and the vested TSR Shares shall be settled in accordance with Section 4 of the Agreement.

 QUINTILES IMS HOLDINGS INC. 

2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
 AWARD
AGREEMENT 
 (Awarding Restricted Stock) 

THIS AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Quintiles IMS Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and the participant named above (the “Participant”) pursuant to the provisions of the Quintiles IMS Holdings Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by
reference. Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control. 

WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the
Participant is providing, or has agreed to provide, services to the Company, or Affiliate or a Subsidiary of the Company, as an Employee, Director or Third Party Service Provider; 

WHEREAS, the Company considers it desirable and in its best interests that the Participant be given a personal stake in the Company’s
growth, development and financial success through the grant of an Award of Restricted Stock providing an opportunity to earn shares of the $.01 par value common stock of the Company (“Shares”) on the terms and conditions and subject
to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
set forth herein, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Restricted Stock. Effective as of [DATE] (the “Grant
Date”), the Company hereby grants to the Participant on the Grant Date an Award of Restricted Stock consisting of, in the aggregate, [Number of shares] Shares (the “Restricted Stock”), subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, the period during which the Restricted Stock remains subject to the transfer restrictions set forth herein shall be called the “Restricted Period”. For the avoidance of
doubt, the total number of shares of Restricted Stock subject to the award is subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 4.4 of the Plan. 

2. Vesting Schedule. The Restricted Stock will vest as to 25% of the Shares on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, 25% of the
Shares on the third anniversary of the Grant Date and as to the remaining 50% of the shares on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date provided that, on the applicable vesting date, the Participant is and has been at all times since the Grant Date,
either employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or in service to the Company as a director; provided however, that the Restricted Stock is subject to accelerated vesting in accordance with Section 3(b) below. Prior to vesting, the Company
may retain in its possession the share certificate or other evidence of ownership (but Participant will be and remains the owner of the Shares). 
  

 3. Treatment of Restricted Stock upon Termination of Employment. 

(a) Forfeiture of Restricted Stock upon Termination. In the event that the Participant’s employment by and service as a director
of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (“Employment”) ceases for any reason prior to the lapsing of the Restricted Period, such unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited immediately unless otherwise determined by the
Committee and subject to 3(b) below. Other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, including Sections 8 and 9, may result in the termination and forfeiture of the Restricted Stock or portions thereof prior to vesting. 

[(b) Notwithstanding Article 15 of the Plan, in the event there occurs a Sale of the Company following the Grant Date in which there is no
assumption, continuation, substitution or cash-out of all or a portion of this Award (the “Terminating Restricted Stock”), the Terminating Restricted Stock will vest immediately before the
consummation of the Sale of the Company that would cause the Common Stock to cease to be outstanding. In the case of a Sale of the Company following the Grant Date in which the Restricted Stock will be assumed, continued, or substituted (the
“Continuing Restricted Stock”), in the event that, at or within 24 months after such Sale of the Company, (i) the Company terminates the Participant’s employment without Cause or (ii) the Participant
terminates his employment for Good Reason, or (iii) and Expiration Termination occurs, the Continuing Restricted Stock will become fully vested immediately before such termination. For this purpose, the terms “Cause,”
“Expiration Termination” and “Good Reason” have the meanings as defined in the Employment Agreement between the Participant and the Company, as in effect at the Grant Date.] 

4. Dividends and Adjustments. In the event that the Company declares and pays regular cash dividends on Stock, any such dividends on
the Restricted Stock payable prior to vesting will be retained by the Company and not paid to Participant (or, if delivered to the Participant, immediately will be returned by Participant to the Company). Dividends other than regular cash dividends
will result in an adjustment to the Restricted Stock under Article 4.4 of the Plan (in which case the adjustment will be in lieu of payment of any such dividend). Shares or other property that directly or indirectly result from adjustments to a
share of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture, restriction on transferability and other terms and conditions as apply to such granted share of Restricted Stock. 

5. Income Tax and Social Insurance Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax
(including U.S. federal, state and local taxes or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefit, payment on account or other tax-related withholding
(“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains
the Participant’s responsibility and that the Company (a) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award,
including the grant of the Restricted Stock, the vesting of the Restricted Stock, the subsequent sale of any Shares resulting from the Award and the receipt of any dividends or other amounts resulting

  
 2 

 
from any adjustment to the Award, and (b) does not commit to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items. Participant is hereby advised that he is permitted under United States federal income tax law to elect (by filing a “Section 83(b)” election with the Internal Revenue Service) to be
taxed on the compensation value of the Restricted Stock at the Grant Date, and agrees that if he makes such an election he will notify the Company immediately. Unless the Participant has, in advance of the vesting of the Restricted Stock, made other
arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy withholding obligations, if the Participant’s country of residence (and/or the country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related
Items, the Company will withhold a sufficient number of whole Shares that become vested having an aggregate fair market value sufficient to pay the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with
respect to the vesting of the Restricted Stock. The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items. Alternatively, the Company may withhold the
minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares in cash from the Participant’s regular salary and/or wages or any other amounts payable to the Participant. In the event the
withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares by the Company or through the Participant’s regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to the Participant, no Shares will be released to the Participant (or
the Participant’s estate) upon vesting of the Restricted Stock unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by the Participant with respect to the payment of any
Tax-Related Items that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such Restricted Stock. By accepting this grant of Restricted Stock, the Participant
expressly consents and agrees to the withholding of Shares and/or withholding from the Participant’s regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to the Participant as provided for hereunder. All other
Tax-Related Items related to the Restricted Stock are the Participant’s sole responsibility. 

6. Restrictive Legends; Delivery Upon Vesting. 

(a) As an award of Restricted Stock, the Shares will be issued to the Participant as of the Grant Date. Any stock certificate or other
evidence of ownership of the Restricted Stock will be in the name of the Participant but will be held by the Company until the lapse of the Restricted Period. The Participant understands and agrees that the Company may cause the legends set forth
below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) or book-entry notations evidencing ownership of the Restricted Stock or Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by the
provisions of any applicable laws, including state or federal securities laws: 
 “The shares of Common Stock evidenced hereby are
subject to the terms and conditions of an Award Agreement dated [DATE] between the registered owner and Quintiles IMS Holdings, Inc. and the Quintiles IMS Holdings, Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as such plan may be amended from time to time; such
shares are subject to forfeiture under the terms of such Agreement and the Plan; and such shares shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated except pursuant to the provisions of such Agreement
and the Plan. Copies of such Agreement and Plan are available from Quintiles IMS Holdings, Inc. upon request.” 

  
 3 

 Participant will have voting rights with regard to the Restricted Stock. 

(b) Participant agrees that, upon request of the Company, he will deliver to the Company stock powers or other instruments of transfer or
assignment, duly endorsed in blank with signature guaranteed, corresponding to each certificate for Restricted Stock or distributions thereon. If Participant shall fail to provide the Company with any such stock power or other instrument of transfer
or assignment, Participant hereby irrevocably appoints the Secretary of the Company as his attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such power or other instrument
which may be necessary to effectuate the transfer of the Restricted Stock (or assignment of distributions thereon) on the books and records of the Company. 

(c) Upon the lapse of the Restricted Period, the risk of forfeiture will lapse and evidence of ownership of the shares immediately will be
delivered to the Participant free of the restrictions on transferability otherwise imposed under this Agreement and free of such risk of forfeiture (except for any applicable recoupment or clawback policy of the Company or as required by applicable
law or stock exchange regulation). The method of delivery will be in the discretion of the Company, either by delivery of one or more share certificates to the Participant, delivery of the Shares to a financial institution for the account of the
Participant or delivery in any other commercially reasonable manner as may be determined by the Company. 
 (d) The Participant’s sales
or other dispositions of Shares following the lapse of the Restricted Period will be subject to applicable restrictions under Company policies applicable to the Participant, including those covering insider trading by employees. 

7. Restrictions on Shares; Non-transferability during Restricted Period. 

(a) This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or
stock exchange as may be required. The Participant agrees to take all steps the Committee determines are necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of federal and state securities law in exercising his or her rights under this Agreement.

 (b) During the Restricted Period, the Restricted Stock is not assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, and it may not, directly
or indirectly, be offered, transferred, sold, pledged, assigned, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (including, but not limited to, by gift, operation of law or otherwise) other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution to the estate of the Participant upon the Participant’s death or with the Company’s consent (in which case the Restricted Stock shall remain subject to the vesting and other restrictions as set forth herein). Any purported
transfer in violation of this Section 7 shall be void ab initio. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Participant may not sell the Shares unless such shares are registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or, if such Shares are not then so registered, such sale would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The sale, pledge or transfer of the Shares must also comply
with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Shares, and the Committee may impose restrictions upon the sale, 

  
 4 

 
pledge, or other transfer of such shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates, the imposition of minimum holding period requirements or stop transfer orders or
other restrictions under applicable federal securities laws or under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed or traded, or under any blue sky or state securities laws as may be applicable to such
Shares) if, in the judgment of the Committee, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the provisions of the Act, the securities laws of any state, or any other applicable law. 

8. Forfeiture; Recovery of Compensation. 

(a) The Committee may determine that the Restricted Stock will be forfeited or that release of the evidence of ownership of the Shares will be
delayed if the Participant is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Plan (including, but not limited to, Section 11.3 and Section 20.19 of the Plan and Sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement). 

(b) By accepting this Award, the Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that his rights, and those of any permitted transferee, with
respect to the Restricted Stock, including to shares following vesting and proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to Article 11.3 and Section 20.19 of the Plan (including any successor provisions). Nothing in the preceding sentence
shall be construed as limiting the general application of Section 14(a) of this Agreement. 
 9. Other Undertakings. To protect the
interests of the Company and its direct and indirect affiliates and subsidiaries (individually, a “QuintilesIMS Company” and collectively, the “QuintilesIMS Companies”), including the confidential information of the
QuintilesIMS Companies and the confidential information of their respective customers, data suppliers, prospective customers and other companies with which the QuintilesIMS Companies have a business relationship, and in consideration of the
covenants and promises and other valuable consideration described in this Agreement, the Company and the Participant agree as follows: 

(a) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that he is bound by the confidentiality and other covenants contained in one or more restrictive
covenant and confidentiality agreements that he has executed with a QuintilesIMS Company, which covenants and agreements are incorporated herein by reference and shall survive any exercise, expiration, forfeiture or other termination of this
Agreement or the Restricted Stock issued hereunder. The Participant also acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be an affiliate for purposes of such restrictive covenant and confidentiality agreements. 

(b) The Participant acknowledges that the opportunity to participate in the Plan and the financial benefits that may accrue from such
participation is good, valuable and sufficient consideration for the following: 
  

	 	(i)	The Participant acknowledges and agrees that he is and will remain bound by the non-competition, non-solicitation and other covenants
contained in the restrictive covenant and confidentiality agreement(s) that he has executed with any of the QuintilesIMS Companies to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

  
 5 

	 	(ii)	The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the period during which the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in such
agreement(s) will apply following a termination of Employment shall be extended from twelve (12) months to eighteen (18) months; provided, however, that the remedies available for breach of any
non-competition or non-solicitation covenants during such extended six-month period shall be limited to the following:
(x) to the extent then outstanding, the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock for no consideration, and (y) to the extent the Restricted Stock has vested on or after the date that is eighteen (18) months before the Participant’s
cessation of Employment, with respect to the shares of Stock that became vested (including Shares withheld for taxes), the Participant shall pay to the Company an amount equal to (A) the aggregate fair market value of such shares of Stock as of
the date of vesting, plus (B) the excess, if any, of the aggregate proceeds of all sales of such shares of Stock over the amount described under subsection (A) above. (For this purpose, the Participant’s earliest sales of shares
following vesting will be deemed sales of the vested shares of Restricted Stock.) The Company shall also be entitled to the foregoing remedies in the event of a material breach of any confidentiality,
non-disclosure or other similar covenant contained in the restrictive covenant and confidentiality agreement(s) that the Participant has executed with a QuintilesIMS Company. 

 

	 	(iii)	The Participant further acknowledges and agrees to the Company’s application, implementation and enforcement of (a) such policy set forth in Section 9(b)(ii) of this Agreement and (b) any provision of
applicable law or Company policy relating to cancellation, recoupment, rescission or payback of compensation and expressly agrees that the Company may take such actions as are necessary to effectuate such policy (as applicable to the Participant) or
applicable law without further consent or action being required by the Participant. For purposes of the foregoing, the Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Participant’s behalf, to any
brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold Participant’s shares of Stock and other amounts acquired under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such
shares of Stock and/or other amounts to the Company. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement and such policy conflict, the terms of such policy shall prevail. 

 

	 	(iv)	By accepting the Restricted Stock, the Participant consents to one or more deductions from any amounts any QuintilesIMS Company owes the Participant from time to time in an aggregate amount equal to all amounts
described in subsection (ii) above, to the extent such deductions are permitted by applicable law. Any such deduction from an amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A may only take place at the time the amount
would otherwise be payable to the Participant, except to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A. 

 10. 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, the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. 

  
 6 

 11. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be
submitted by the Participant or by the Company forthwith to the Committee, which shall review such dispute at its next regular meeting. The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on all parties. 

12. Acknowledgements and Acceptance. In accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be provided
under the terms of any employment agreement between the Participant and the Company: that the Participant will have no claim or entitlement (i) to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of Employment for any reason whatsoever
and whether or not in breach of contract, insofar as such claim or entitlement arises or may arise from his ceasing to have any rights under the Plan or this Agreement; (ii) to vesting of the Restricted Stock as a result of such termination of
Employment, except as expressly provided in this Agreement; or (iii) from the loss or diminution in value of the Restricted Stock or Share following the vesting of the Restricted Stock (including due to any delay in delivery of evidence of
ownership following vesting); and, upon the grant of the Award and in partial consideration for his participation in the Plan and this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any such claim or entitlement, and
(iv) all questions arising under this Agreement and the Plan shall be decided by the Committee in its sole discretion; (v) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
(vi) that the grant of the Restricted Stock does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock or other Awards or any right to continue an employment or other relationship with the Company (for the
vesting period or otherwise); (vii) that the Participant remains subject to discharge from such relationship to the same extent as if the Restricted Stock had not been granted; (viii) that all determinations with respect to any such future
grants, including, but not limited to, when and on what terms they shall be made, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee; (ix) that participation in the Plan is voluntary; (x) that the value of the Restricted Stock is an
extraordinary item of compensation; and (xi) that the Restricted Stock is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards,
pension or retirement benefits or similar benefits. 
 13. Employee Data Privacy. The Company hereby notifies the Participant of the
following in relation to the Participant’s personal data and the collection, processing and transfer of such data in relation to the Award and the Participant’s participation in the Plan pursuant to applicable personal data protection
laws. The collection, processing and transfer of the Participant’s personal data is necessary for the Company’s administration of the Plan and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Participant’s denial and/or
objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal data may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. As such, the Participant voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees (where required under applicable law)
to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described herein. The Participant understands that the Company and its Affiliates hold certain personal information about the Participant, including but not limited to the
Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number, salary, nationality, job title, shares of common stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all

  
 7 

 
Restricted Stock or other entitlement to Shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor for the purpose of managing and administering the
Plan (“Data”). The Data may be provided by the Participant or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the
Participant’s participation in the Plan. The data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which
the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Participant’s country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed in a manner that minimizes the use of
personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible within the Company’s organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation,
administration and operation of the Plan and for the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant further understands that the Company and/or its Affiliates will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purposes of
implementation, administration and management of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and that the Company and/or any of its Affiliates may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation,
administration and management of the Plans. The Participant understands that these recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, the United States or elsewhere throughout the world. The Participant authorizes (where required under
applicable law) them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of
such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding Shares on the Participant’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Shares may be deposited. The Participant may, at any time, exercise
the Participant’s rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to (a) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data, (b) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data,
(c) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion, or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data, and (d) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data that is not necessary or required for
the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Plan and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative. 

14. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. 

(a) The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings, agreements, commitment and negotiations of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the
Participant’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Participant. 
 (b) This Agreement and all claims arising
out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws
provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. 

  
 8 

 (c) Any legal proceeding arising out of this Plan or this Agreement shall be brought exclusively
in the Federal or State courts located in the State of Delaware. The Participant agrees to submit to personal jurisdiction and to venue in those courts. The Participant further agrees to waive all legal challenges and defenses to the appropriateness
of Delaware as the site of any such legal proceeding and to the application of the laws of the State of Delaware and any applicable Federal laws. 

15. Miscellaneous. 
 (a)
Notice hereunder shall be given to the Company at its principal place of business, and shall be given to the Participant at the last address shown in the Company’s records, or in either case at such other address as one party may subsequently
furnish to the other party in writing. 
 (b) The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Award, any Shares of Stock
issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock and the Participant’s participation in the Plan to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law,
rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Award and the Plan. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring the Participant to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to
accomplish the foregoing. 
 (c) The delivery of evidence of ownership of shares upon vesting of the Restricted Stock will be contingent
upon the Company’s receipt of any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company and/or the Committee may require to satisfy itself that such delivery pursuant to this Agreement and any subsequent resale of the Shares will be in
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Participant. If the Company elects a method of delivery
other than delivery of a share certificate to Participant, Participant will be required to take appropriate steps to cause any nominee to transfer Shares into the name of the Participant in order for Participant to become a record holder of the
Shares upon such delivery. 
 (d) This Agreement is subject in its entirety to the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by
reference. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the Grant Date has been furnished to the Participant. Accepting the Award, the Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. 

(e) Any provision of this Agreement that is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction and
subject to this Section, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions thereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provisions of this Agreement
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced
only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable. No waiver of any provision or violation of this Agreement or the Addendum by the Company shall be implied by the Company’s forbearance or failure
to take action. 

  
 9 

 (f) The Restricted Stock is intended to be subject to Code Section 83 and therefore be
exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A. The Plan and this Agreement shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. If the Company determines that this Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and that it
has failed to comply with the requirements of that Section, the Company may, at the Company’s sole discretion and without Participant consent, amend the Agreement to cause the terms and conditions of the Agreement to comply with Code Section
409A or be exempt from Code Section 409A.
