The Employment Agreement generally provides for the continued employment of Mr.Maletta on substantially similar terms and conditions as his existing employment agreement, which would have otherwise expired on April28, 2018.

The term of the Employment Agreement begins on the Agreement Commencement Date and ends on the third anniversary of the Agreement Commencement Date, unless earlier terminated. Under the Employment Agreement, Mr.Maletta is entitled to a base salary of $575,000 and he is eligible to receive a target annual cash bonus of 60% of salary.
During the term of the Employment Agreement, Mr.Maletta is also eligible to receive equity-based compensation to be awarded in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of Endo’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), which may be subject to the achievement of certain performance targets established by the Committee. Beginning with grants made in 2018, Mr.Maletta is eligible to receive equity-based compensation with a targeted grant date fair market value equal to 300% of his base salary, subject to any increase in the Committee’s sole discretion.
