Under the 401(k) Restoration Plan the participant may defer the amount of base salary and bonus that would have been deferrable under the Endo 401(k) Plan (up to 50% of salary and bonus) if not for the qualified plan statutory limits on deferrals and contributions.

The purpose of this plan is to provide non-employee directors the opportunity to have some, or all of their retainer fees delivered in the form of Endo ordinary shares.
