Re: Registration Statement of Bausch Health Companies Inc. on Form S-8

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

We have acted as Canadian counsel to Bausch Health Companies Inc. (the Corporation), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia, in connection with (i) certain amendments to the Corporation’s 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective as of May 14, 2024 (the Plan) and (ii) the registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the Registration Statement), filed on or about the date hereof with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), of an additional 20,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Corporation (the Common Shares) which are issuable by the Corporation to Eligible Recipients pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this opinion have the meanings given to them in the Plan.

As counsel, we have made such investigations and examined the originals, or duplicate, certified, conformed, telecopied or photostatic copies of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments and have made such other investigations as we have considered necessary or relevant for the purposes of this opinion, including: (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Plan; (iii) the articles, as amended, and the notice of articles of the Corporation; (iv) certain resolutions of the Corporation’s board of directors and committees thereof; and (v) a Certificate of Good Standing dated July 31, 2024.

With respect to the accuracy of factual matters material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents and representations of public officials and of officers of the Corporation and have not performed any independent check or verification of such factual matters.

In giving this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates, certified, conformed, telecopied or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents, and that all facts set forth in the certificates supplied by officers of the Corporation are complete, true and accurate as of the date hereof. We have also assumed that the Certificate of Good Standing referred to above will continue to be accurate as at the date of issuance of any Common Shares under the Registration Statement.

The opinion set forth below is limited to the laws of the province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, in each case in effect on the date hereof, and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. Our opinion is rendered as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you of changes in law or fact (or the effect thereof on the opinions expressed herein) that hereafter may come to our attention.

policy considerations that may limit the rights of the parties to obtain further remedies; (iv) we express no opinion as to whether the Registration Statement contains full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the Plan or the Common Shares issuable thereunder or any other matters for the purposes of the Securities Act (British Columbia); and (v) where our opinion below refers to the Common Shares as being “fully paid and non-assessable,” such opinion assumes that all required consideration (in whatever form) has been or will be paid or provided, and we express no opinion with respect to the adequacy of any consideration received.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that upon issuance and delivery of and payment for such Common Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, such Common Shares being issued by the Corporation will be outstanding as validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares in the share capital of the Corporation.

“Substitute Award” means an Award granted in connection with a transaction between the Company (or a Subsidiary) and another entity or business acquired by the Company (or a Subsidiary), or with which the Company or a Subsidiary combines, in substitution or exchange for, or conversion, adjustment, assumption or replacement of, awards previously granted by such other entity or business.

“Termination of Service” means, unless as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the case of a Participant who is an Employee, cessation of the employment relationship such that the Participant is no longer an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, or, in the case of a Participant who is a Consultant or non-employee Director, the date the performance of services for the Company or any Subsidiary has ended; provided, however, that in the case of a Participant who is an Employee, the transfer of employment from the Company to a Subsidiary, from a Subsidiary to the Company, from one Subsidiary to another Subsidiary or, unless the Committee determines otherwise, the cessation of employee status but the continuation of the performance of services for the Company or a Subsidiary as a Director or Consultant shall not be deemed a cessation of service that would constitute a Termination of Service; provided, further, that a Termination of Service shall be deemed to occur for a Participant employed by, or performing services for, a Subsidiary when such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary unless such Participant’s employment or service continues with the Company or another Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Award subject to Section 409A of the Code (and not exempt therefrom), a Termination of Service occurs when a Participant experiences a Separation of Service.

(a)

Committee Authority. Subject to applicable law, the Committee shall have full and exclusive power to administer and interpret the Plan, to grant Awards and to adopt such administrative rules, regulations, procedures and guidelines governing the Plan and the Awards as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, from time to time. The Committee’s authority shall include, but not be limited to, the authority to (i) determine the type of Awards (including Substitute Awards) to be granted under the Plan; (ii) select Award recipients and determine the extent of their participation; (iii) determine Performance Criteria; (iv) establish all other terms, conditions, and limitations applicable to Awards, Award programs and, if applicable, the Common Shares issued pursuant thereto; (v) determine whether, to what extent, under what circumstances and by which methods Awards may be settled or exercised in cash, Common Shares, other Awards, other property, net settlement (including broker- assisted cashless exercise), or any combination thereof, or canceled, forfeited or suspended; and (vi) establish, amend, suspend or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents, trustees, brokers, depositories and advisors and determine such terms of their engagement as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan and due compliance with applicable law, stock market or exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations. The Committee may accelerate or defer the vesting or payment of Awards, cancel or modify outstanding Awards, waive any conditions or restrictions imposed with respect to Awards or the Common Shares issued pursuant to Awards and make any and all other determinations that it deems appropriate with respect to the administration of the Plan, subject to the limitations contained in Sections 6(d) and 19 of the Plan and applicable law and listing rules with respect to all Participants.

(b)

Administration of the Plan. The administration of the Plan shall be managed by the Committee. All determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members either present in person or participating by conference telephone at a meeting or by written consent. The Committee shall have the power to prescribe and modify the forms of Award Agreement, correct any defect, supply any omission or clarify any inconsistency in the Plan and/or in any Award Agreement and take such actions and make such administrative determinations that the Committee deems appropriate in its sole discretion. Any decision of the Committee in the administration of the Plan, as described herein, shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties concerned, including the Company, its shareholders and Subsidiaries and all Participants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards or administer the Plan. In any such case, the Board shall have all of the authority and responsibility granted to the Committee herein.

(c)

Delegation of Authority. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may at any time delegate to one or more officers or Directors of the Company some or all of its authority over the administration of the Plan (including the authority to grant Awards under the Plan), with respect to individuals who are not Section 16(a) Insiders.

(d)

Indemnification. No member of the Committee or any other Person to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has been delegated shall be personally liable for any action or determination made with respect to the Plan, except for his or her own willful misconduct or as expressly provided by statute. The members of the Committee and its delegates, including any employee with responsibilities relating to the administration of the Plan, shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement from the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the by-laws and policies of the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by the law, in the performance of its functions under the Plan, the Committee (and each member of the Committee and its delegates) shall be entitled to rely upon information and advice furnished by the Company’s officers, accountants, counsel and any other party they deem appropriate, and neither the Committee nor any such Person shall be liable for any action taken or not taken in reliance upon any such advice.

5.	Participation

(a)

Eligible Recipients. Subject to applicable law and Section 7 hereof, the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, which Eligible Recipients shall be granted Awards under the Plan. Holders of equity compensation awards granted by an entity or business that is acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary (or whose business is acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary) or with which the Company or a Subsidiary combines are eligible for grants of Substitute Awards under the Plan to the extent permitted under applicable law and the applicable regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company is then listed.

(b)

Participation outside of the United States. In order to facilitate the granting of Awards to Employees who are foreign nationals or who are employed outside of the U.S., the Committee may provide for such special terms and conditions, including, without limitation, substitutes for Awards, as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. The Committee may approve any supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, this Plan (including sub-plans) as it may consider necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this Section 5(b) without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose, and the appropriate officer of the Company may certify any such documents as having been approved and adopted pursuant to properly delegated authority; provided, that no such supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions shall include any provisions that are inconsistent with the intent and purpose of this Plan, as then in effect; further provided that any such action taken with respect to an Employee who is subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be taken in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

6.	Available Shares of Common Shares

(a)

Shares Subject to the Plan. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 6, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued to Participants pursuant to Awards (all of which may be granted as ISOs) shall be equal to the sum of (i) 62,768,825 Common Shares, (ii) 20,000,000 Common Shares and (iii) the number of Common Shares becoming available for reuse after awards are terminated, forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered following the Effective Date under the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Transferred Shares”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred Shares shall no longer be available under the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Common Shares issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan may be shares that have been authorized but unissued, or have been purchased in open market transactions or otherwise. (b) Forfeited and Expired Awards. If any shares subject to an Award (other than a Substitute Award) are forfeited, canceled, exchanged or surrendered, or if an Award (other than a Substitute Award) terminates or expires without a distribution of Common Shares to the Participant, the Common Shares with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Common Shares surrendered or withheld as payment of either the exercise price of an Option (including shares otherwise underlying an Award of a SAR that are retained by the Company to account for the exercise price of such SAR) and/or withholding taxes in respect of an Award shall no longer be available for Awards under the Plan and (ii) any Common Shares subject to any Substitute Award that is (A) forfeited, cancelled, exchanged, surrendered, cancelled or otherwise terminates or expires without a distribution of Common Shares or (B) surrendered or withheld as payment of either the exercise price of a Substitute Award and/or withholding taxes in respect of a Substitute Award, in each case, will not again become available for distribution in connection with Awards under the Plan.

(c)

Other Items Not Included in Allocation. The maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan as set forth in Section 6(a) shall not be affected by (i) the payment in cash of dividends or dividend equivalents in connection with outstanding Awards to the extent such cash dividends or dividend equivalents are permitted in accordance with Section 8; (ii) the granting or payment of share- denominated Awards that by their terms may be settled only in cash, (iii) the granting of Cash Awards; or (iv) the grant of, or issuance of Common Shares pursuant to, Substitute Awards. For the avoidance of doubt, Common Shares underlying Substitute Awards and Common Shares remaining available for grant under a plan of an acquired company or of a company with which the Company or a Subsidiary combines (whether by way of amalgamation, merger, sale and purchase of shares or other securities or otherwise), appropriately adjusted to reflect the acquisition or combination transaction, shall not reduce the number of Common Shares remaining available for grant hereunder.

(d)

ISO Limit. Subject to Section 6(f), the maximum number of Common Shares available for issuance with respect to ISOs shall be 82,768,825.

(e)

Other Limitations on Shares that May be Granted under the Plan. Subject to Section 6(f), (i) the number of Common Shares issuable to Insiders, at any time, under all security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, cannot exceed 10% of issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company; (ii) the number of Common Shares issued to Insiders, within any one year period, under all security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, cannot exceed 10% of issued and outstanding securities; and (iii) the number of Common Shares issuable to non-employee members of the Board, at any time, under all security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, cannot exceed 1% of issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company.

(f)

Adjustments. In the event of any change in the Company’s capital structure, including, but not limited to, a change in the number of Common Shares outstanding, on account of (i) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or any similar equity restructuring or (ii) any combination or exchange of equity securities, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization, or divesture or any other similar event affecting the Company’s capital structure, or change in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, to reflect such change in the Company’s capital structure, the Committee shall make appropriate equitable adjustments to the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan as set forth in Section 6(a) and the limits set forth in Section 6(d) and Section 6(e). In the event of any extraordinary dividend, divestiture or other distribution (other than ordinary cash dividends) of assets to shareholders, or any transaction or event described above, to the extent necessary to prevent the enlargement or diminution of the rights of Participants, the Committee shall make appropriate equitable adjustments to the number or kind of shares subject to an outstanding Award (including the identity of the issuer), the exercise or hurdle price applicable to an outstanding Award, and/or any measure of performance that relates to an outstanding Award, including any applicable Performance Criteria. Any adjustment to ISOs under this Section 6(f) shall be made only to the extent not constituting a “modification” within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code. With respect to Awards subject to Section 409A of the Code, any adjustments under this Section 6(f) shall conform to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the Committee may, in its discretion, decline to adjust any Award made to a Participant, if it determines that such adjustment would violate applicable law or result in adverse tax consequences to the Participant or to the Company. If, as a result of any adjustment under this section 6(f), a Participant would become entitled to a fractional Common Share, the Participant has the right to acquire only the adjusted number of full Common Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional Common Shares so disregarded. Adjustments under this Section 6(f) are subject to any applicable regulatory approvals.

(g)

Non-Employee Director Limitations. In any calendar year, no Participant who is a non-employee Director shall be granted Options, SARs, Share Units, Share Awards, Cash Awards or any other compensation with an aggregate fair market value as of the grant date (as determined in accordance with applicable accounting standards) or payment date, as applicable, in excess of $750,000.

7.	Awards Under The Plan

Awards under the Plan may be granted in the form of Options, SARs, Share Units, Share Awards or Cash Awards as described below. Awards may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

(a)

Options. Options granted under the Plan shall be designated as Nonqualified Stock Options or ISOs. Options shall expire after such period, not to exceed a maximum of ten years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “Original Term”). If an Option is exercisable in installments, such installments or portions thereof that become exercisable shall remain exercisable until the Option expires or is otherwise canceled pursuant to its terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(a), except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code (including Section 1.409A-1(v)(C)(1) of the Treasury Regulations), if the Original Term of an Option held by a Participant expires during a Blackout Period, the term of such Option shall be extended until the tenth Business Day following the end of the Blackout Period, at which time any unexercised portion of the Option shall expire; provided, however, that in no event shall such extension pursuant to this provision result in the term of such Option being extended beyond the latest date which would not result in an extension within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(v)(C)(1) of the Treasury Regulations. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7(a), Options shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions, and limitations determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time.

(i)

Exercise Price. The Committee shall determine the exercise price per share for each Option, which, except with respect to Substitute Awards, shall not be less than 100% of the Market Price (as of the date of grant) of the Common Shares subject to the Option.

(ii)

Exercise of Options. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions relating to vesting and exercisability, as determined by the Committee, and upon provision for the payment in full of the exercise price and applicable taxes due, the Participant shall be entitled to exercise the Option and receive the number of Common Shares issuable in connection with the Option exercise. The Common Shares issued in connection with the Option exercise may be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Committee may determine, from time to time. The exercise price of an Option and applicable withholding taxes relating to an Option exercise may be paid by methods permitted by the Committee from time to time including, but not limited to, (1) a cash payment; (2) tendering (either actually or by attestation) Common Shares owned by the Participant (for any minimum period of time that the Committee, in its discretion, may specify), valued at the Market Price at the time of exercise; (3) arranging to have the appropriate number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of an Option withheld or sold (including pursuant to a “sell-to-cover” method) pursuant to such procedures as determined by the Committee in its discretion; or (4) any combination of the above. Additionally, the Committee may provide that an Option may be “net exercised,” meaning that upon the exercise of an Option or any portion thereof, the Company shall deliver the number of whole Common Shares equal to (A) the difference between (x) the aggregate Market Price of the Common Shares subject to the Option (or the portion of such Option then being exercised) and (y) the aggregate exercise price for all such Common Shares under the Option (or the portion thereof then being exercised) plus (to the extent it would not give rise to adverse accounting consequences pursuant to applicable accounting principles or to adverse tax consequences to the Participants under Canadian federal, provincial or territorial tax laws) the amount of withholding tax due upon exercise divided by (B) the Market Price of a Common Share on the date of exercise. Any fractional share that would result from such equation shall be canceled.

(iii)

ISOs. The terms and conditions of ISOs granted hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 422 of the Code and the terms, conditions, limitations and administrative procedures established by the Committee from time to time in accordance with the Plan. At the discretion of the Committee, ISOs may be granted only to an employee of the Company, its “parent corporation” (as such term is defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or a Subsidiary.

(1)

ISO Grants to 10% Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(a), if an ISO is granted to a Participant who owns shares representing more than ten percent of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company, its “parent corporation” (as such term is defined in Section 424 (e) of the Code) or a Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall not exceed five years from the time of grant of such Option and the exercise price shall be at least 110 percent of the Market Price (as of the date of grant) of the Common Shares subject to the Option.

(2)

$100,000 Per Year Limitation for ISOs. To the extent the aggregate Market Price (determined as of the date of grant) of the Common Shares for which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess ISOs shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.

(3)

Disqualifying Dispositions. Each Participant awarded an ISO under the Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date he or she makes a “disqualifying disposition” of any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such ISO. A “disqualifying disposition” is any disposition (including any sale) of such Common Shares before the later of (i) two years after the date of grant of the ISO and (ii) one year after the date the Participant acquired the Common Shares by exercising the ISO. The Company may, if determined by the Committee and in accordance with procedures established by it, retain possession of any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO as agent for the applicable Participant until the end of the period described in the preceding sentence, subject to complying with any instructions from such Participant as to the sale of such shares.

(iv)

No Dividends or Dividend Equivalents. No Option will be eligible for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents.

(v)

Subject to applicable laws and Company policies, the Committee may provide in any applicable Award Agreement that, if, as of the last day of the Original Term of the Option, (i) the Market Price of the Common Shares subject to the Option exceeds the aggregate exercise price of the Option and (ii) the Participant has not previously exercised such Option, then the Option shall be deemed to have been automatically exercised by the Participant on such date (the “Automatic Exercise Date”), which such automatic exercise shall be made on a “net exercise” basis (pursuant to such terms and procedures as determined by the Committee) to cover the applicable exercise price applicable to such Option and any applicable tax withholding obligations; provided that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Section 7(a)(v) shall not apply to any Option held by a Participant who has incurred a Termination of Service on or before the Automatic Exercise Date.

(b)

Share Appreciation Rights. A SAR represents the right to receive a payment in cash, Common Shares, or a combination thereof, in an amount equal to the product of (1) the excess of the Market Price per Common Share on the date the SAR is exercised over the exercise price per Common Share of such SAR (which exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Market Price of the Common Shares subject to the SAR as of the date the SAR was granted, except in the case of Substitute Awards) and (2) the number of Common Shares subject to the portion of the SAR being exercised. If a SAR is paid in Common Shares, the number of Common Shares to be delivered will equal the amount determined to be payable in accordance with the prior sentence divided by the Market Price of a Common Share at the time of payment. The Committee shall establish the Original Term of a SAR, which shall not exceed a maximum of ten years. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(b), except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code (including Section 1.409A-1(v)(C)(1) of the Treasury Regulations) if the Original Term of a SAR held by the Participant expires during a Blackout Period, the term of such SAR shall be extended until the tenth Business Day following the end of the Blackout Period, at which time any unexercised portion of the SAR shall expire; provided, however, that in no event shall such extension pursuant to this provision result in the term of such SAR being extended beyond the latest date which would not result in an extension within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(v)(C)(1) of the Treasury Regulations. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7(b), SARs shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time. A SAR may only be granted to an Eligible Recipient to whom an Option could be granted under the Plan. No SAR will be eligible for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents.

(c)

Share Units. A Share Unit is an Award that represents the right to receive a Common Share or a cash payment equal to the Market Price of a Common Share. Share Units shall be subject to such terms and conditions (including, without limitation, service-based and/or performance-based vesting conditions, including Performance Criteria), restrictions and limitations as the Committee may determine to be applicable to such Share Units, in its sole discretion, from time to time and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(i)

Blackout Period. In the event that any Share Unit is scheduled by its terms to be settled in Common Shares (the “Original Distribution Date”) during a Blackout Period, then, if the Participant is restricted from selling Common Shares during the Blackout Period, the Committee, in its discretion, may determine that such Common Shares subject to the Share Unit shall not be delivered on such Original Distribution Date and shall instead be delivered as soon as practicable following the expiration of the Blackout Period; provided, however, that in no event shall the delivery of the Common Shares be delayed pursuant to this provision beyond the latest date on which such delivery could be made without violating Section 409A of the Code.

(d)

Share Awards.

(i)

Form of Awards. The Committee may grant Awards that are payable in Common Shares or denominated in units equivalent in value to Common Shares or are otherwise based on or related to Common Shares (“Share Awards”), including, but not limited to, Share Payments, Restricted Shares and Deferred Shares. Share Awards shall be subject to such terms, conditions (including, without limitation, service-based and performance-based vesting conditions, including Performance Criteria), restrictions and limitations as the Committee may determine to be applicable to such Share Awards, in its sole discretion, from time to time.

(ii)

Share Payment. If not prohibited by applicable law, the Committee may issue unrestricted Common Shares in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall from time to time in its sole discretion determine. A Share Payment may (but need not) be granted as, or in payment of, a bonus, or to provide incentives or recognize special achievements or contributions.

(iii)

Restricted Shares. Restricted Shares shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions, and limitations determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time. The number of Restricted Shares allocable to an Award under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(iv)

Deferred Shares. Subject to Section 409A of the Code (to the extent applicable), Deferred Shares shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time. A Participant who receives an Award of Deferred Shares shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares allocable to his or her Award, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, from time to time, at the end of a specified deferral period determined by the Committee. Awards of Deferred Shares represent only an unfunded, unsecured promise to deliver shares in the future and shall not give Participants any greater rights than those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

(e)

Cash Awards. The Committee may grant Awards that are payable to Participants solely in cash, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7(e), such Cash Awards shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions, and limitations determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time. Awards granted pursuant to this Section 7(e) may be granted with value and payment contingent upon the achievement of Performance Criteria. Payments earned hereunder may be decreased or increased in the sole discretion of the Committee based on such factors as it deems appropriate.

(f)

Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise or the Committee determines otherwise, (i) vesting with respect to an Award will cease upon a Termination of Service, and unvested Awards shall be forfeited upon such termination and (ii) in the case of a Termination of Service for Cause, vested Awards shall also be forfeited.

8.	Dividends and Dividend Equivalents

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that Share Units and/or Share Awards shall earn dividends or dividend equivalents, as applicable. Such dividends or dividend equivalents may be credited to an account maintained on the books of the Company. Any payment or crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents will be subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations as the Committee may establish, from time to time, in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, reinvestment in additional Common Shares or common share equivalents; provided, however, if the payment or crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents is in respect of a Share Unit or Share Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, then the payment or crediting of such dividends or dividend equivalents shall conform to the requirements of Code Section 409A of the Code and such requirements shall be specified in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends or dividend equivalents (i) shall have the same vesting dates and shall be paid in accordance with the same terms as the Award to which they relate and (ii) with respect to any Award subject to the achievement of Performance Criteria, shall not be paid unless and until the relevant Performance Criteria have been satisfied, and then only to the extent determined by the Committee, as specified in the Award Agreement.

9.	Nontransferability

Except as may be permitted by the Committee or as specifically provided in an Award Agreement, Awards granted under the Plan, and during any period of restriction on transferability, Common Shares issued in connection with the exercise of an Option or a SAR, may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated, assigned, margined or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until the shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed or have been waived by the Committee. No Award or interest or right therein shall be subject to the debts, contracts or engagements of a Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law, by judgment, lien, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy and divorce), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void, of no effect, and not binding on the Company in any way. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit (on such terms, conditions and limitations as it may establish) Nonqualified Stock Options and/or shares issued in connection with an Option or a SAR exercise that are subject to restrictions on transferability, to be transferred to a member of a Participant’s immediate family or to a trust or similar vehicle for the benefit of a Participant’s immediate family members. During the lifetime of a Participant, all rights with respect to Awards shall be exercisable only by such Participant or, if applicable pursuant to the preceding sentence, a permitted transferee.

10.

Effect of a Termination of Service

(a)

The Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any applicable Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, the circumstances in which, and the extent to which, an Award may be exercised, settled, vested, paid or forfeited in the event of a Participant’s Termination of Service.

(b)

Subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may determine, in its discretion, whether, and the extent to which, (i) an Award will vest during a leave of absence, (ii) a reduction in service level (for example, from full-time to part-time employment) will cause a reduction, or other change, to an Award and (iii) a leave of absence or reduction in service will be deemed a Termination of Service.

11.

Change of Control

(a)

Unless otherwise determined in an Award Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control:

(i)

With respect to each outstanding Award that is assumed or substituted in connection with a Change of Control, in the event of a Termination of Service without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason during the 12-month period following such Change of Control (i) such Award shall become fully vested and exercisable, (ii) the restrictions, payment conditions, and forfeiture conditions applicable to any such Award granted shall lapse, and (iii) any performance conditions (including any Performance Criteria) imposed with respect to Awards shall be deemed to be achieved at target performance levels or at such other level as determined by the Committee in its discretion or specified in the applicable Award Agreement or the definitive transaction documentation in connection with such Change of Control.

(ii)

With respect to each outstanding Award that is not assumed or substituted in connection with a Change of Control immediately upon the occurrence of the Change of Control, (x) such Award (including both time-based and performance-based Awards) shall become fully vested and exercisable based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between the grant date and the date of the Change of Control and the denominator of which is the number of days during the period beginning on the grant date of the Award and ending on the date of vesting of the Award or such other period determined by the Committee in its discretion or as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, (y) the restrictions, payment conditions, and forfeiture conditions applicable to any such Award granted shall lapse, and (z) any performance conditions (including any Performance Criteria) imposed with respect to performance-based Awards shall be deemed to be achieved at target performance levels (for the avoidance of doubt, prorated in accordance with clause (x)) or at such other level as determined by the Committee in its discretion or specified in the applicable Award Agreement or the definitive transaction documentation in connection with such Change of Control.

(iii)

For purposes of this Section 10, an Award shall be considered assumed or substituted for if, following the Change of Control, the Award remains subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Award immediately prior to the Change of Control except that, if the Award related to Common Shares, the Award instead confers the right to receive common shares of the acquiring entity (or its parent).

(iv)

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee (a) may, in its discretion provide that each Option and each SAR which may, by its terms, only be settled in shares shall, immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, be deemed to have been exercised on a “net exercise” basis; and (b) may, in its discretion, except as would otherwise result in adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A, provide that each Award, other than Options and SARs which may, by their terms, only be settled in shares, shall, immediately upon

the occurrence of a Change of Control, be cancelled in exchange for a payment in cash or securities in an amount equal to (i) the excess of the consideration paid per Common Share in the Change of Control over the exercise or purchase price (if any) per Common Share subject to the Award multiplied by (ii) the number of Common Shares then outstanding under the Award; provided that, if the Intrinsic Value of an Option or SAR is equal to or less than zero, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for the cancellation of such Award without payment of any consideration therefor (for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate any Option or SAR for which the exercise or purchase price is equal to or exceeds the per Common Share value of the consideration to be paid in the Change of Control transaction without payment of consideration therefor).

(b)

For purposes of this Agreement and, except to the extent as would result in a violation of Code Section 409A, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to occur if and when the first of the following occurs:

(i)

the acquisition (other than from the Company), by any person (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d) thereof) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities;

(ii)

the individuals who, as of the date hereof, are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, unless the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Board, and such new director shall be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board;

(iii)

the closing of an amalgamation or similar business combination (each, an “Amalgamation”) involving the Company if (i) the shareholders of the Company, immediately before such Amalgamation, do not, as a result of such Amalgamation, own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the entity resulting from such Amalgamation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately before such Amalgamation or (ii) immediately following the Amalgamation, the individuals who comprised the Board immediately prior thereto do not constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the entity resulting from such Amalgamation (or, if the entity resulting from such Amalgamation is then a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof);

(iv)

a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the consummation of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any corporation which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in the same proportion as their ownership of shares in the Company immediately prior to such acquisition. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, solely to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred only if a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company shall also be deemed to have occurred under Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

12.

Clawback

The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that a Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include any Termination of Service, violation of material policies, breach of non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants, or requirements to comply with minimum share ownership requirements, that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. The Committee shall have full authority to implement any policies and procedures necessary to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated thereunder and any other regulatory regimes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Awards granted under the Plan (including any amounts or benefits arising from such Awards) shall be subject to any clawback or recoupment arrangements or policies the Company has in place from time to time, and the Committee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law and stock exchange rules or by any applicable Company policy or arrangement, and shall, to the extent required, cancel or require reimbursement of any Awards granted to the Participant or any Common Shares issued or cash received upon vesting, exercise or settlement of any such Awards or sale of Common Shares underlying such Awards. All Awards are subject to the Bausch Health Companies Inc. Compensation Recoupment Policy and the Bausch Health Companies Inc. Clawback Policy, in each case as in effect from time to time.

13.

Award Agreements

Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (as such may be amended from time to time) that sets forth the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations applicable to the Award, including, but not limited to, the provisions governing vesting, exercisability, payment, forfeiture, and Termination of Service, all or some of which may be incorporated by reference into one or more other documents delivered or otherwise made available to a Participant in connection with an Award.

14.

Tax Withholding

Participants shall be solely responsible for any applicable taxes (including, without limitation, income, payroll and excise taxes) and penalties, and any interest that accrues thereon, which they incur in connection with the receipt, vesting or exercise of an Award. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall have the right to require payment of, or may deduct from any payment made under the Plan or otherwise to a Participant, or may permit shares to be tendered or sold, including Common Shares delivered or vested in connection with an Award, in an amount sufficient to cover withholding of any federal, state, provincial, territorial, local, foreign or other governmental taxes or charges required by law or such greater amount of withholding as the Committee shall determine from time to time and to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy any such withholding obligations. It shall be a condition to the obligation of the Company to issue Common Shares upon the exercise of an Option, or SAR, or upon settlement of a Share Award, that the Participant pay to the Company, on demand, such amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of satisfying any tax withholding liability. If the amount is not paid, the Company may refuse to issue shares.

15.

Other Benefit and Compensation Programs

Awards received by Participants under the Plan shall not be deemed a part of a Participant’s regular, recurring compensation for purposes of calculating payments or benefits from any Company benefit plan or severance program unless specifically provided for under the plan or program. Unless specifically set forth in an Award Agreement, Awards under the Plan are not intended as payment for compensation that otherwise would have been delivered in cash, and even if so intended, such Awards shall be subject to such vesting requirements and other terms, conditions and restrictions as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

16.

Unfunded Plan

The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. The Plan shall not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or other Person. To the extent any Participant holds any rights by virtue of an Award granted under the Plan, such rights shall constitute general unsecured liabilities of the Company and shall not confer upon any Participant or any other Person any right, title, or interest in any assets of the Company.

17.

Rights as a Shareholder

Unless the Committee determines otherwise, a Participant shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to Common Shares covered by an Award until the date the Participant becomes the holder of record with respect to such Common Shares. No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to such date, except as provided in Section 8.

18.

Future Rights

No Eligible Recipient shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan. There shall be no obligation of uniformity of treatment of Eligible Recipients under the Plan. Further, the Company and its Subsidiaries may adopt other compensation programs, plans or arrangements as deemed appropriate or necessary. The adoption of the Plan, or grant of an Award, shall not confer upon any Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment or service in any particular position or at any particular rate of compensation, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of Eligible Recipients at any time, free from any claim or liability under the Plan.

19.

Amendment and Termination

(a)

The Plan and any Award may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time by the Board, provided that no amendment shall be made without shareholder approval if such shareholder approval is required in order to comply with applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the rules of the TSX, or any other securities exchange on which the Common Shares are traded or quoted. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11(a), no termination, suspension or amendment of the Plan or any Award shall materially adversely affect the right of any Participant with respect to any Award theretofore granted, as determined by the Committee, without such Participant’s written consent.

(b)

Notwithstanding Section 19(a), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval for: (i) except as provided in Section 6(f), a reduction in the exercise price or purchase price of an Award (or the cancellation and re-grant of an Award resulting in a lower exercise price or purchase price); (ii) the extension of the Original Term of an Option; (iii) any amendment to the ISO limits described in Section 6(d); (iv) any amendment to remove or to exceed the participation limits described in Section 6(e), including but not limited to those applicable to Insiders; (v) an increase to the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Plan pursuant to Section 6(a) (other than adjustments in accordance with Section 6(f)); (vi) amendments to this Section 19 other than amendments of a clerical nature; and (vii) any amendment that permits Awards to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes or for other purposes not involving the receipt of monetary consideration.

20.

Option and SAR Repricing

Except as provided in Section 6(f) and without limiting Section 19(b)(i), the Committee may not, without shareholder approval, seek to effect any re-pricing of any previously granted “underwater” Option or SAR by: (i) amending or modifying the terms of the Option or SAR to lower the exercise price; (ii) cancelling the underwater Option or SAR and granting either (A) replacement Options or SARs having a lower exercise price or (B) Restricted Shares, Share Units, or Other Share Awards in exchange; or (iii) cancelling or repurchasing the underwater Options or SARs for cash or other securities. An Option or SAR will be deemed to be “underwater” at any time when the Market Value of the Common Shares covered by such Award is less than the exercise price of the Award.

21.

Successors and Assigns

The Plan and any applicable Award Agreement shall be binding on all successors and assigns of a Participant, including, without limitation, the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors.

22.

Severability

If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any Participant or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award Agreement, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Participant or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

23.

Governing Law

The Plan and all agreements entered into under the Plan shall be governed, construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

24.

Interpretation

The Plan is designed and intended, to the extent applicable, to provide for grants and other transactions which are exempt under Rule 16b-3, and all provisions hereof shall be construed in a manner to so comply. Awards under the Plan are also intended to be exempt from, or otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and the Plan and all Awards shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the effective date of the Plan. If any provision of the Plan or any term or condition of any Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision, term or condition shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, no payment or distribution under this Plan that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and becomes payable by reason of a Participant’s Termination of Service with the Company shall be made to such Participant until such Participant’s Termination of Service constitutes a Separation from Service. For purposes of this Plan and any Award granted hereunder, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. If a participant is a Specified Employee, then to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Code, such Participant shall not be entitled to any payments upon a termination of his or her employment or service until the earlier of: (i) the

expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of such Participant’s death. Upon the expiration of the applicable waiting period set forth in the preceding sentence, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 24 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid to such Participant in a lump sum as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days, following such expired period, and any remaining payments due under this Plan will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein or the terms of the applicable Award. If an Award includes a “series of installment payments” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations), a Participant’s right to such series of installment payments shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment, and if an Award includes “dividend equivalents” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(e) of the Treasury Regulations), a Participant’s right to such dividend equivalents shall be treated separately from the right to other amounts under the Award. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or any affiliate be liable to a Participant on account of an Award’s failure to (i) qualify for favorable U.S. or foreign tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment under U.S. or foreign law, including, without limitation, Section 409A, 4999 or 457A of the Code.

25.

Data Protection

In connection with the Plan, the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, may need to process personal data (as such term, “personal information,” “personally identifiable information,” or any other term of comparable intent, is defined under applicable laws or regulations, in each case to the extent applicable) provided by the Participant to, or otherwise obtained by, the Company or its Subsidiaries, their respective third party service providers or others acting on the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ behalf. Examples of such personal data may include, without limitation, the Participant’s name, account information, social security number, tax number and contact information. The Company or its Subsidiaries may process such personal data for the performance of the contract with the Participant in connection with the Plan and in its legitimate business interests for all purposes relating to the operation and performance of the Plan, including but not limited to:

•

administering and maintaining Participant records;

•

providing the services described in the Plan;

•

providing information to future purchasers or merger partners of the Company or any Subsidiary, or the business in which such Participant works; and

•

responding to public authorities, court orders and legal investigations and complying with law, as applicable.

The Company or its Subsidiaries may share the Participant’s personal data with (i) Subsidiaries, (ii) trustees of any employee benefit trust, (iii) registrars, (iv) brokers, (v) third party administrators of the Plan, (vi) third party service providers acting on the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ behalf to provide the services described above, (vii) future purchasers or merger partners (as described above) or (viii) regulators and others, as required by law or in order to provide the services described in the Plan.

If necessary, the Company or its Subsidiaries may transfer the Participant’s personal data to any of the parties mentioned above in a country or territory that may not provide the same protection for the information as the Participant’s home country. Any transfer of the Participant’s personal data to recipients in a third country will be made subject to appropriate safeguards or applicable derogations provided for, and to the extent required, under applicable law. Further information on those safeguards or derogations can be obtained through, and other questions regarding this Section 25 may be directed to, the contact set forth in the applicable employee privacy notice or other privacy policy that previously has been made available by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary to the Participant (as applicable, and as updated from time to time by the Company or its applicable Subsidiary upon notice to the Participant, the “Employee Privacy Notice”). The terms set forth in this Section 25 are supplementary to the terms set forth in the Employee Privacy Notice (which, among other things, further describes the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ processing activities, and the rights of the Participant, with respect to the Participant’s personal data); provided that, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 25 and the terms of the Employee Privacy Notice, the terms of this Section 25 shall govern and control in relation to the processing of such personal data in connection with the Plan.

The Company and its Subsidiaries will keep personal data collected in connection with the Plan for as long as necessary to operate the Plan or as necessary to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements and in accordance with the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ backup and archival policies and procedures.

Certain Participants may have a right, as further described in the Employee Privacy Notice, to (i) request access to and rectification or erasure of the personal data provided, (ii) request the restriction of the processing of his or her personal data, (iii) object to the processing of his or her personal data, (iv) receive the personal data provided to the Company or its Subsidiaries and transmit such data to another party, and (v) to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
