RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Syneos Health, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended and/or amended and restated from time to time, the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement, and capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Committee has authorized and approved the grant of an Award to the Participant of Restricted Stock Units payable in shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Participant’s jurisdiction that likely would result in the favorable treatment that applies to the RSUs if the Participant attains the conditions set forth in this Section 2(c) being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the provisions above regarding the treatment of the RSUs shall not be applicable to the Participant.

US-DOCS\112623669.1

As used in this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence, without the Participant’s express written consent, of any of the following events: (i) a material reduction in the Participant’s annual base salary; (ii) a material adverse change to the Participant’s title compared to the Participant’s title immediately prior to the Change in Control; (iii) a requirement that the Participant relocate to a principal place of employment more than fifty (50) miles from the Participant’s assigned principal office location as of immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control; or (iv) if the Participant has an effective employment agreement, service agreement, or other similar agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary, a material breach of such agreement, provided, that, any event described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above shall constitute Good Reason only if the Participant provides the Company with written notice of the basis for the Participant’s Good Reason within forty-five (45) days of the initial actions or inactions of the Company or any Subsidiary giving rise to such Good Reason and the Company or applicable Subsidiary has not cured the identified actions or inactions within sixty (60) days of such notice, and provided further that the Participant terminates his or her Service within thirty (30) days following the Company’s or applicable Subsidiary’s failure to cure within the 60-day cure period.

US-DOCS\112623669.1

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including the maximum applicable rates in the Participant’s jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Common Stock) from the Company or the Employer.  In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, the Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer, including through withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation payable to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

In addition, to the extent that any U.S. Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax withholding obligations arise in connection with the RSUs prior to the applicable vesting or settlement date, the vesting of the Award shall be accelerated with respect to a number of RSUs sufficient to satisfy (but not in excess of) such tax withholding obligations and any other tax withholding obligations associated with any such acceleration, and the withholding obligations shall be satisfied pursuant to the tax withholding method noted in alternative (4) above.

The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other RSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

7

US-DOCS\112623669.1

The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may 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, passport, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSUs, Performance RSUs or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC or any other broker selected by the Company, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Syneos Health, Inc. Human Resources Department (HRSupportServicesAmerica@SyneosHealth.com). The Participant authorizes the Company, Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC or any other broker selected by the Company and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that the Participant may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Syneos Health, Inc. Human Resources Department (HRSupportServicesAmerica@SyneosHealth.com). Further, the Participant understands that the Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke the Participant’s consent, the Participant’s Service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant RSUs or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that the Participant may contact the Syneos Health, Inc. Privacy Office (data.privacy@syneoshealth.com).

Finally, upon request by the Company or the Employer, the Participant agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from the Participant for the purpose of administering the Participant’s participation in the Plan in compliance

8

US-DOCS\112623669.1

with the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country, either now or in the future. The Participant understands and agrees that the Participant will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.

The Company and the Employer hereby notify the Participant of the following in relation to the Participant’s Data (as defined below) and the collection, processing and transfer in electronic or other form of such Data in relation to the grant of RSUs and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The collection, processing and transfer of the Participant’s Data is necessary for the legitimate purpose of 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 Data may affect the Participant’s participation in the Plan. As such, by participating in the Plan, the Participant acknowledges the collection, use, processing and transfer of Data and with respect to the limited transfer to the third party administrator Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC, consents to the transfer of Data as described herein.

The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer will hold certain personal information about the Participant to administer the Plan. This personal information may include, the Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, passport, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all RSUs, Performance RSUs or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

The Company and the Employer will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Plan, and the Company and the Employer may each further transfer Data to third parties assisting the Company or the Employer in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC or any other broker selected by the Company, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Syneos Health, Inc. Human Resources Department (HRSupportServicesAmerica@SyneosHealth.com). For any intragroup transfers of Data outside the EEA or the UK, the transfer will be under the European Commission’s model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries  (i.e., the standard contractual clauses) (the “Model Clauses”), or any equivalent contracts issued by the relevant competent authority of the UK (as applicable),

9

US-DOCS\112623669.1

unless the data transfer is to a country that has been determined by the European Commission or the relevant UK authorities (as applicable) to provide an adequate level of protection for individuals’ rights and freedoms for their personal data. Please contact the Syneos Health Privacy Office (data.privacy@syneoshealth.com) should you wish to receive a copy of the relevant Model Clauses.  

Where provided by applicable law, the Participant may have the right to exercise certain rights with respect to their Data, which may be subject to certain limitations and exclusions. For example, these rights may include the right to know what Data is processed, access to Data, rectification of Data, erasure of Data, restriction of processing of Data (including, where applicable, the restriction on the sale of Data), and portability of Data. The Participant may also have the right to object to the processing of Data, as well as to opt-out of the Plan, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Syneos Health, Inc. Human Resources Department. The Participant understands, however, that the Participant's participation in the Plan may be limited and the Company and the Employer may not be able to grant the Participant RSUs or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards if the Participant refuses to provide Data. The Participant agrees to provide full cooperation in executing data privacy consent forms, agreements or any related documentation that the Company and/or the Employer deem necessary for the purpose of administering the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country, either now or in the future.

When the Company and the Employer no longer need to use Data for the purposes above or do not need to retain it for compliance with any legal or regulatory purpose, each will take reasonable steps to remove Data from their systems and/or records containing the Data and/or take steps to properly anonymize it so that the Participant can no longer be identified from it. Further information concerning the Company’s data retention practices can be found in the Company’s Records Management Policy.

US-DOCS\112623669.1

Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Participant is responsible for complying with any applicable restrictions and should speak with a personal legal advisor on this matter.

US-DOCS\112623669.1

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, RSUs that are non‑qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that vest as a result of the Participant’s termination of employment under Section 2(b), 2(c), or 2(d) hereof shall be settled within 60 days of the date the Participant experiences a “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (“Separation from Service”). If the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code as of the date of the Separation from Service (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the Date of Termination), any RSUs that are non-qualified deferred compensation that are payable upon a Separation from Service shall instead be settled on the first business day that is after the earlier of (i) the date

that is six months following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of the Participant’s death, to the extent such delayed payment is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code, or any successor provision thereto.

(ii)be involved in creating, developing, modifying, accessing, utilizing or relying upon confidential information that is similar or relevant to that Confidential Information to which Participant created, developed, modified, accessed, utilized or relied upon during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

4.Business Opportunities. The Participant, while he or she is employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries, agrees to offer or otherwise make known or available to the Company or any Subsidiary, as directed by the Company and without additional compensation or consideration, any business prospects, contracts or other business opportunities that he or she may discover, find, develop or otherwise have available to him or her in any field in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is engaged, and further agrees that any such prospects, contracts or other business opportunities shall be the property of the Company.

5.Confidentiality.

(a)The Participant acknowledges that during his or her employment with the Company, he or she has and will necessarily become informed of, and have access to, the Confidential Information of the Company, and that the Confidential Information, even though it may be contributed, developed or acquired in whole or in part by the Participant is the Company’s exclusive property to be held by the Participant in trust and solely for the Company’s benefit.

A-4

US-DOCS\112623669.1

Accordingly, except as required by law, the Participant shall not, at any time, either during or subsequent to his or her employment, as applicable, use, reveal, report, publish, copy, transcribe, transfer or otherwise disclose to any person, corporation or other entity, any of the Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Company, except to responsible officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and other responsible persons who are in a contractual or fiduciary relationship with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and except for information that legally and legitimately is or becomes of general public knowledge from authorized sources other than the Participant.

(b)This RCA shall not prevent Participant from (i) reporting, without prior approval from the Company, possible violations of federal securities laws or regulations to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation; (ii) filing a charge of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission; (iii) cooperating with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in an investigation of alleged discrimination; (iv) revealing evidence of criminal wrongdoing to law enforcement; (v) testifying in any cause of action when required to do so by law, or (vi) divulging Confidential Information pursuant to an order of court or agency of competent jurisdiction. However, with respect to (v) and (vi) only, Participant must promptly inform the Company of any such situations and shall take such reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of the Company’s Confidential Information until the Company has been informed of such requested disclosure and the Company has had an opportunity to respond to the court or agency.

Further, 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) states: “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that—(A) is made—(i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.” Accordingly, the parties to this RCA have the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. The parties also have the right to disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure. Nothing in this RCA is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).

6.Prior Restrictive Covenants. The restrictive covenants contained in this RCA are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other restrictive covenants between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all of the Participant’s restrictive covenants agreed to prior to entering into this RCA (“Prior Restrictive Covenants”) will survive and supersede the restrictive covenants set forth in this RCA to the extent that any Prior Restrictive Covenant is for a longer period of time or is more restrictive in scope or location than the restrictive covenants set forth in this RCA. A breach of any such Prior Restrictive Covenant will also constitute a breach of this RCA.

A-5

US-DOCS\112623669.1

7.Injunctive Relief and Tolling. Participant acknowledges and agrees that if Participant breaches any of the provisions of Sections 2 through 6 hereof, it will cause irreparable damage to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries for which monetary damages alone will not constitute an adequate remedy. In the event of such breach or threatened breach, the Company shall be entitled as a matter of right (without being required to prove damages or furnish any bond or other security) to obtain a restraining order or an injunction to preserve or restore the status quo and will additionally be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with securing any relief hereunder. Such right to equitable or extraordinary relief shall not be exclusive but shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to recover monetary damages for the breach by Participant of any of the provisions of this RCA. Further, Participant understands that if Participant breaches any of the provisions in Sections 2 through 6 of this RCA, the applicable restricted period will be extended for a period of time equal to the period of time Participant spent in breach of this RCA. If the Company is required to seek injunctive relief from such breach, then the applicable restricted period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency of such proceedings, including all appeals.

8.Termination. Participant may terminate the employment relationship for any reason at any time upon giving the Company thirty (30) days prior written notice, as applicable law permits. In the case of a termination by the Company other than a termination for Cause (as defined in the Plan), the Company will provide thirty (30) days prior written notice of termination, as applicable law permits. In each case, the Company may, in its discretion, relieve the Participant of some or all of his/her duties during all or a part of such notice period. Subject to the forgoing notice obligation, the Participant’s employment with the Company shall remain at will, as applicable law permits.

9.Return of Company Property. By no later than the Termination Date, the Participant shall promptly deliver to the Company all property and possessions of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including all drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, copies, deliverables containing Confidential Information and all other materials relating to the Company and any of its Subsidiaries’ business that are in the Participant’s possession or control.

10.Governing Law, Forum.

This Appendix B includes additional terms and conditions that govern the RSUs granted to the Participant if the Participant resides and/or works in a country listed below.

This Appendix B also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to the Participant’s situation.

Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently residing and/or working (or if the Participant is considered as such for local law purposes), the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant in the same manner.
