(b) Relative TSR Adjustment
(i) Step No. 1. Calculate the Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) of the Company relative to the Russell 3000 Medical Equipment and Services Sector Index for the Performance Period. For purposes of calculating the TSR:
    (a) The applicable composition of the Russell 3000 Medical Equipment and Services Sector Index shall be the companies included in such index at the beginning of the Performance Period (the “TSR Index”) adjusted pursuant to subsection (b), below.
    (b) Changes in the composition of the Russell 3000 Medical Equipment and Services Sector Index during the Performance Period will be accounted for as follows: those companies acquired, taken private, or de-listed, if any, will be removed

from the TSR Index; those companies filing bankruptcy, if any, will remain at the bottom of the TSR Index.
    (c) The share price used for calculation of the TSR performance will be an average of the share price for the 20 trading days preceding the beginning of the Performance Period and the end of the Performance Period.
    (d) Dividends will be considered as reinvested at the ex-dividend date.
(ii) Step No. 2. Multiply the Initial Aggregate Adjusted EPS Payout Percentage by the Relative TSR Modifier to obtain the Total Payout Percent. For purposes of determining the level of achievement between Threshold and Target or between Target and Maximum, as the case may be, the level of performance will be determined based on a straight-line interpolation of the achievement levels between Threshold and Target and Target and Maximum, as applicable (rounded down to the nearest hundredth of a percent).

In the event the Participant’s employment terminates before the Measurement Date due to permanent and total disability, the number of PSUs earned by the Participant shall equal the number determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction shall be the number of whole months that the Participant was employed by, or providing services to, the Company or an Affiliate during the 36-month Performance Period (including any period that the Participant was absent from work for illness, injury or short-term disability, with Company or Affiliate approval, prior to termination of employment) and the denominator shall be 36.

(e)Change in Control. The Participant will earn the number of PSUs equal to Target Shares if there is a Change in Control before the Measurement Date.
(f)Adjustment for Strategic Transactions. In the event that the Company completes an acquisition, merger, divestiture or other strategic transaction (each a “Strategic Transaction”) during the Performance Period that the Committee believes in its sole discretion may have a material impact on the Company’s Adjusted EPS or Company’s TSR for the Performance Period, the Committee may, in its sole discretion without the consent or agreement of the Participant, (i) amend this Agreement to increase or decrease the Aggregated Adjusted EPS goal, change the Relative TSR Modifier or amend any other term or provision of this Agreement to take into account the expected impact of the Strategic Transaction, or (ii) cancel in its entirety this Agreement and reissue this award with modified terms and conditions to take into account the Strategic Transaction.

(c)Earned PSUs. As soon as practicable after the Committee’s certification under subparagraph (b) (but no later than March 15, 2025), the PSUs will be adjusted to reflect the number of PSUs earned by the Participant. The earned PSUs shall be promptly settled in shares of Common Stock that are not subject to further restrictions. If the PSUs are earned pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(e), the number of shares of such PSUs to be issued under Section 2(e) shall be settled in shares of Common Stock that are not subject to further restrictions and shall be issued to the Participant on the Control Change Date.
4.Recoupment Policy. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the PSUs and any dividends related to either granted under this Agreement are subject to recoupment by the Company in accordance with the Company’s Policy on Recoupment of Executive Incentive Compensation in effect on the date of this Agreement, as such policy is interpreted and applied by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Stock received as a dividend on, or in connection with a stock split of any shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the earned PSUs shall be subject to the same vesting restrictions as the earned PSUs. The Participant’s right to receive any extraordinary dividends or distributions with respect to earned PSUs shall be at the sole discretion of the Committee, but in the event of any such extraordinary event, the Committee shall take action appropriate to preserve the value of, and to prevent the unintended enhancement of value in, such earned PSUs.
8.Withholding. The Participant may be required to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, any applicable withholding taxes in respect of the PSUs, their grant or vesting or any payment or transfer with respect to the PSUs and to take such action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. Any withholding tax obligations required hereunder shall be satisfied by withholding or reducing the number of PSUs, as determined by the Company, otherwise issuable to Participant upon the settlement of the PSUs (i.e., “Net Shares” election).

9.No Right to Continued Employment. The award and settlement of the PSUs does not give Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or an Affiliate, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate his or her employment at any time.

10.Change in Capital Structure. The number of PSUs and the performance criteria in Section 2 (or, after any settlement of the PSUs) shall be adjusted as the Committee determines is equitably required in the event the Company effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups subdivisions or consolidations of shares, other similar changes in capitalization or such other events as are described in the Plan.
11.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
12.Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. All references herein to the Plan shall mean the plan as in effect on the Date of Grant.

15.    Dividend Equivalents.

No dividends will be paid on the PSUs if the PSUs were not earned and issued hereunder.
