Summary
This agreement is between Occupational Health + Rehabilitation Inc., certain stockholders, and investors.

Board of Directors. (a) Election of Directors. Each of the parties hereto agrees to vote all of the Stock (as hereinafter defined) of the Company now owned or hereafter acquired by such party (and attend, in person or by proxy, all meetings of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors), and the Company agrees to take all actions (including, but not limited to the nomination of specified persons) to cause and maintain the election to the Board of Directors of the Company, to the extent permitted pursuant to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, as set forth below: (i) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who initially is John C.

Each of the parties further covenants and agrees to vote, to the extent possible, all shares of Stock of the Company now owned or hereafter acquired by such party so that the Company's Board of Directors shall consist of no more than seven (7) members.

In the absence of any designation from the persons or groups so designating directors as specified above, the director previously designated by them and then serving shall be reelected if still eligible to serve as provided herein. No party hereto shall vote to remove any member of the Board of Directors designated in accordance with the aforesaid procedure unless the persons or groups so designating directors as specified above so vote, and, if such persons or groups so vote then the non-designating party or parties shall likewise so vote. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors created by the resignation, removal, incapacity or death of any person designated under this Section 1 shall be filled by another person designated in a manner so as to preserve the constituency of the Board as provided above. If any party to this Agreement shall fail to vote such party's Stock as provided in this Agreement, without further action by such party, the President of the Company shall be, and hereby is, irrevocably constituted the attorney-in-fact and proxy of such party for the purpose of voting the shares of such Stock and shall vote the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and is hereby authorized to revoke any proxy providing for any other vote of such shares with respect to the election of directors. (b) Committees of the Board of Directors. The membership of each committee of the Board of Directors shall at all times include one of the Cahill Directors. 2. Termination.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 11.
