1.                                      Vesting Provisions

(a)                                 General.  Subject to your continued employment or other service with the Company or its subsidiaries through March 4, 2018 (the “Vesting Date”) (except as otherwise provided herein), the Award shall become vested based upon the Company’s “Relative Total Shareholder Return” in terms of percentile ranking as compared to the Peer Group (as defined in Exhibit A) over the period beginning January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017 (the “Measurement Period”) in accordance with the schedule below:

In the event of a payout percentage level above 100%, you will be awarded additional PSUs so that the total number of PSUs which vest as of the Vesting Date (excluding dividend equivalent PSUs if applicable) equals the original PSU award amount multiplied by the payout percentage level. For each percentile ranking above the 50th percentile, the payout percentage will be increased by four percent. For each percentile ranking below the 50th percentile, the payout percentage will be reduced by two percent. In the event of a payout percentage level below 100%, your PSUs awarded under Section 1 will be forfeited to the extent necessary to provide that the total number of PSUs which vest as of the Vesting Date (excluding dividend equivalent PSUs if applicable) equals the original PSU award amount multiplied by the payout percentage level.

(b)                                 Payout Limits.  In no event shall the value of your PSU award as of the Vesting Date exceed 200% of the Target PSU Award amount on the Grant Date.

(c)                                  Target PSU Award. The Target PSU Award amount on the Grant Date is defined as the product of your base salary (as of December 31 of the prior year to the award) the portion of your total long-term incentive (LTI) designated in PSUs (25 percent) and your target LTI multiple.

Exhibit A — Calculation of Relative Total Shareholder Return

·                  “Relative Total Shareholder Return” means the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of the Peer Companies. Relative TSR will be determined by ranking the Company and the Peer Companies from highest to lowest according to their respective TSRs. After this ranking, the percentile performance of the Company relative to the Peer Companies will be determined as follows:

where:  “P” represents the percentile performance which will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole percentile by application of regular rounding.

“N” represents the remaining number of Peer Companies, plus the Company.

“R” represents the Company’s ranking among the Peer Companies.

Example: If there are 24 Peer Companies, and the Company ranked 7th, the performance would be at the 75th percentile: 1 — ((7-1)/(25-1)).

Relative TSR shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company based on the terms set forth in this Exhibit A and in the Compensation Committee’s sole and absolute discretion, provided that in no event shall the Compensation Committee take any action that would constitute “positive discretion” with respect to awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

·                  “TSR” means, for each of the Company and the Peer Companies, the company’s total shareholder return, expressed as a percentage, which will be calculated by dividing (i) the Closing Average Share Value by (ii) the Opening Average Share Value and subtracting one from the quotient.

·                  “Opening Average Share Value” means the average, over the trading days in the Opening Average Period, of the closing price of a company’s stock multiplied by the Accumulated Shares for each trading day during the Opening Average Period.

·                  “Opening Average Period” means the 30 trading days beginning as of January 1, 2015.

·                  “Accumulated Shares” means, for a given trading day, the sum of (i) one (1) share and (ii) a cumulative number of shares of the company’s common stock purchased with dividends declared on a company’s common stock, assuming same day reinvestment of the dividends in the common stock of a company at the closing price on the ex-dividend date, for ex-dividend dates during the Opening Average Period or between the Grant Date and the Vesting Date, as applicable.

·                  “Closing Average Share Value” means the average, over the trading days in the Closing Average Period, of the closing price of the company’s stock multiplied by the Accumulated Shares for each trading day during the Closing Average Period.

·                  “Closing Average Period” means the 30 trading days immediately preceding January 1, 2018.

5

·                  “Peer Companies” means the S&P Health Care Services Industry Index as of February 20, 2015 which includes the following companies:

The Peer Companies may be changed as follows:

(i)        In the event of a merger, acquisition or business combination transaction of a Peer Company with or by another Peer Company, the surviving entity shall remain a Peer Company.

(ii)       In the event of a merger of a Peer Company with an entity that is not a Peer Company, or the acquisition or business combination transaction by or with a Peer Company, or with an entity that is not a Peer Company, in each case where the Peer Company is the surviving entity and remains publicly traded, the surviving entity shall remain a Peer Company.

(iii)     In the event of a merger or acquisition or business combination transaction of a Peer Company by or with an entity that is not a Peer Company, a “going private” transaction involving a Peer Company or the liquidation of a Peer Company, where the Peer Company is not the surviving entity or is otherwise no longer publicly traded, the company shall no longer be a Peer Company.

(iv)      In the event of a bankruptcy of a Peer Company, such company shall remain a Peer Company.

(v)       In the event of a stock distribution from a Peer Company consisting of the shares of a new publicly-traded company (a “spin-off”), the Peer Company shall remain a Peer Company and the stock distribution shall be treated as a dividend from the Peer Company based on the closing price of the shares of the spun-off company on its first day of trading.  The performance of the shares of the spun-off company shall not thereafter be tracked for purposes of calculating TSR.

·                  For purposes of calculating TSR, the value of any Peer Company shares traded on a foreign exchange will be converted to U.S. dollars
