WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to amend and restate Employee’s prior Employment Agreement with the Company, dated as of April 18, 2013 (the “Prior Agreement”), as reflected in this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, based upon these premises, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree upon the terms and conditions of Employee’s employment with the Company that are set forth herein,

provided, however, that no event described under clauses (b) or (e) above shall constitute “Cause” unless the Company first notifies Employee of such event and the event, if capable of being cured, remains uncured for more than ten (10) days following the date of such notice.

6.3    Termination Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Employee’s employment without Cause immediately at any time upon written notice to Employee. In the event that the Company terminates Employee’s employment without Cause, Company will pay to Employee the amount of any unpaid Base Salary owed through the date of termination, and shall reimburse Employee for any un-reimbursed expenses pursuant to Section 5 for expenses incurred in the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder prior to termination.

Upon Employee’s termination of employment for Good Reason, Company will pay to Employee the amount of any unpaid Base Salary owed through the date of termination, and shall reimburse Employee for any un-reimbursed expenses pursuant to Section 5 for expenses incurred in the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder prior to termination.

These payments shall be made by Company to Employee regardless of the COBRA continuation coverage actually in effect or the premiums actually paid for such coverage, and shall be payable in bi-weekly installments, beginning on the date of termination. Employee understands and acknowledges that the payments specified by this Section 6.5(a)(iii) shall be made subject to all income, withholding and other employment taxes and Employee is solely responsible for all income, employment and other taxes that may be imposed thereon.

(iv)    Employee will receive any unpaid Bonus earned for all prior completed Performance Periods. Additionally, Employee will receive a pro rata Bonus for the Performance Period in which Employee’s termination occurred, based on actual performance for the full Performance Period (and any exercise of negative discretion applied in a manner consistent with such negative discretion applied to other senior executives) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days Employee was employed during the Performance Period through the date of termination and the denominator of which is 365, and paid to Employee when such bonuses are paid to other senior executives.

7.    Restricted Activities.

7.1    Preliminary Statement. Employee acknowledges that by virtue of Employee’s duties under this Agreement, Employee shall become aware of various sensitive and confidential information, and shall develop contacts and relationships which Employee otherwise would not have had access to or developed. Employee further acknowledges that such information and relationships would give Employee an unfair competitive advantage should Employee compete with the Company. Employee further acknowledges that the Company has certain subsidiaries and business divisions (collectively, the “Related Companies”) and that Employee may also become aware of certain confidential information relating to the Related Companies and will develop certain contacts and relationships with clients or customers of the Related Companies which would give Employee an unfair competitive advantage if Employee should compete with the Related Companies. Accordingly, Employee agrees that Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, whether alone or as a partner, officer, director, investor, employee, agent, member or shareholder of any other entity or corporation, without

the prior written consent of the Company, violate any of the covenants (the “Covenants”) set forth in this Section 7. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “business division” shall mean any person or entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company or a Related Company.

7.2    Covenant Not to Divulge Confidential Information. During the term of Employee’s employment with the Company, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and after termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee shall not (i) use any Confidential Information of or concerning the Company or the Related Companies except for the Company’s benefit or (ii) disclose or divulge to any third party any Confidential Information relating to the Company or the Related Companies, except as otherwise required by law. “Confidential Information” shall mean information concerning the Company or any Related Company, whether written or oral, which Employee is or becomes aware of and which has not been publicly disclosed. Information shall not be deemed “publicly disclosed” if disclosed by Employee in violation of this Agreement or as a result of such information being disclosed to employees or agents of the Company or any Related Company.

7.3.    Covenant Not to Compete or Interfere with Business Relationships. During the term of Employee’s employment with the Company, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and continuing for a period of two (2) years after termination of Employee’s employment with the Company Employee shall not engage in any activity competitive with or adverse to the Company or any Related Company described in this Section 7.3.

(a)    Employee shall not solicit or hire (for Employee or on behalf of a third party) any person who is then, or during the term of this Agreement was, an employee or contractor (including, without limitation, any contract physicians) of the Company or any Related Company. Contract physicians shall include those physicians with whom the Company or any Related Company then has a contract, or which have actively been recruited by the Company or any Related Company within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to termination of this Agreement.

(b)    Employee shall not induce or attempt to induce any person or entity doing business with the Company or any Related Company, to terminate such relationship, or engage in any other activity detrimental to any Related Company. Specifically, Employee shall not solicit or contract with (a) any then current client of the Company or any Related Company, (b) any client with which the Company or any Related Company previously did business during the one (1) year period immediately prior to termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, or (c) any prospective client of the Company or any Related Company which the Company or a Related Company was “actively seeking” to do business with within the one (1) year period immediately before termination of Employee’s employment with the Company. (For purposes of this Agreement, the Company or a Related Company will be deemed to have been “actively seeking” to do business with a prospective client if the Company or a Related Company did any of the following: (A) met with the administration of such prospective client, (B) submitted a response to a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) or other formal proposal from such prospective client, or (C) made any other written response to a request, solicitation, or initial discussion by or with such prospective client.)

(c)    Employee shall not be employed by nor have any financial relationship with any entity which directly or indirectly performs any competitive activity which Employee is individually prohibited from performing under the terms of this Agreement.

(d)    Notwithstanding the restrictions specified in this Section 7, nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit Employee from: (i) owning, solely as a passive investment, the securities of an entity which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market or investing through a private equity fund in securities of an entity that is not publicly traded, provided that Employee (A) is not a controlling person or, or a member of a group which controls, such entity and (B) does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such entity; or (ii) owning, solely as a passive investment, the securities of an entity which are not publicly traded provided that such entity is not engaged in a principal business of providing emergency room services to hospitals.

Except as specifically provided herein, Employee is free to engage in any business activity, not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement, in any geographic location.

7.4    Construction. For purposes of this Section 7, the term “then” shall mean at the time of Employee’s engagement in the applicable conduct. The Covenants are essential elements of this Agreement, and but for Employee’s agreement to comply with the Covenants, the Company would not have entered into this Agreement. The Covenant shall be construed as independent of any other provisions in this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 7.6 below, the existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the Company or any Related Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of the Covenants. The period of time during which Employee is prohibited from engaging in the business practices described in the Covenants shall be extended by any length of time during which Employee is in breach of the Covenants. The Company and Employee agree that the Covenants are appropriate and reasonable when considered in light of the nature and extent of the business conducted by the Company. However, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any portion of the Covenants, including without limitation, the specific time period, scope or geographical area, is unreasonable or against public policy, then such Covenants shall be considered divisible as to time, scope, and geographical area and the maximum time period, scope or geographical area which is determined to be reasonable and not against public policy shall be enforced.

7.5    Remedies. The parties agree that if Employee breaches any Covenant, the Company or the Related Companies, as applicable, will suffer irreparable damages and Employee will receive a benefit for which Employee had not paid. Employee agrees that (i) damages at law will be difficult to measure and an insufficient remedy to the Company or a Related Company in the event that Employee violates the terms of this Section 7 and (ii) the Company and the Related Companies shall be entitled, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, to obtain injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 7 without the necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damages, which injunctive relief shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Company or the Related Companies. No remedy shall be exclusive of any other, and neither application for nor obtaining injunctive or other relief shall preclude any other remedy available, including money damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Employee agrees to pay the Company or the Related Companies all costs and expenses incurred by the Company or the Related Companies relating to the enforcement of the terms of this Section 7, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, both at trial and in appellate proceedings. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Related Companies are intended beneficiaries of the Covenants and shall have the same rights and remedies as the Company to enforce the Covenants.

7.6    Limitation on Enforcement. In the event the Company materially breaches this Agreement by failing to meet a payment obligation hereunder (as defined below), and Employee is not in breach of this Agreement, then Employee shall no longer be bound by the Covenants. For purposes of this Agreement, “materially breaches this Agreement by failing to meet a payment obligation

hereunder” shall mean (i) the Company has failed to meet a payment obligation hereunder (and likewise failed to cure such nonpayment within thirty (30) days following notice from Employee) and (ii) the Company did not have a good faith basis to not pay the disputed payment to Employee. If the Company has a good faith dispute regarding the amount owed to Employee, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 20 herein. If a good faith dispute does exist regarding any payment obligation, the Company shall only be deemed to have materially breached this Agreement by failing to meet a payment obligation hereunder if, after the amount to be paid is determined by an arbitrator, the Company does not pay such amount awarded by the arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the arbitrator’s decision.

8.    Inventions and Intellectual Property. Employee acknowledges that all developments, including, without limitation, inventions, patentable or otherwise, discoveries, improvements, patents, trade secrets, designs, reports, computer software, flow charts and diagrams, procedures, data, documentation, ideas and writings and applications thereof relating to the present or planned business of the Company or any Related Company that, alone or jointly with others, Employee may conceive, create, make, develop, reduce to practice or acquire during the term of this Agreement (collectively, the “Developments”) are works made for hire and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and Employee hereby assigns to the Company all of Employee’s right, title and interest in and to all such Developments. All related items, including, but not limited to, memoranda, notes, lists, charts, drawings, records, files, computer software, programs, source and programming narratives and other documentation (and all copies thereof) made or compiled by Employee, or made available to Employee, concerning the business or planned business of the Company or any Related Company shall be the property of the Company and shall be delivered to the Company promptly upon the termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.    Key Man Insurance. The Company shall have the option to purchase a key man disability and/or life insurance policy regarding Employee which names the Company or its designee as beneficiary. Employee agrees to cooperate with the Company in obtaining such policies including, without limitation, submitting to a reasonably requested medical examination.

10.    Death. If Employee dies before the date on which all amounts owing to the Employee hereunder are paid in full, the Company and Holdings, as the case may be, shall pay to Employee’s estate (or such other recipient as designated from time to time by Employee in writing) such remaining amounts when and as such amounts were otherwise payable to Employee. After receiving the payments provided under this Section 10, Employee and Employee’s estate shall have no further rights against the Company for compensation under this Agreement.

11.    Assignment and Binding Effect. Employee may not sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise convey any of Employee’s rights or delegate any of Employee’s duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company. Otherwise, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure, to the benefit of the parties and their successors, assigns, heirs, representatives and beneficiaries.

12.    Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersedes all existing agreements between them concerning such subject matter, and may be modified only by a written instrument duly executed by both parties.

13.    Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasion shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. Any waiver must be in

writing. Any waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement.

14.    Governing Law and Venue and Limitations Period. Tennessee law shall govern the rights and obligations under this Agreement, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that would require application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. In the event litigation is necessary, such legal action shall be commenced only in a court, of competent jurisdiction in Knox County, Tennessee; litigation commenced other than in Knox County, Tennessee shall be subject to being dismissed, stayed or having venue transferred to Knox County at the option of the party not commencing said litigation. The parties further waive all objections and defenses to litigation being conducted in Knox County, Tennessee, based upon venue or under the doctrine of forum non conveniens. Legal proceedings for breach of this Agreement shall be commenced within twelve (12) months of any alleged breach or thereafter be barred.

15.    Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or first class mail, to the addresses below, or hand-delivered to the party to whom it is to be given. Any party may change such address by written notice to the other party. Any notice or other communication given by certified mail or first class mail shall be deemed given two (2) days after mailing thereof, except for a notice changing a party’s address which shall be deemed given at the time of receipt thereof.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if actual written notice is received, regardless, of the means of transmittal, such notice shall be deemed to be acceptable and effective as proper notice under this Section 15.

16.    Severability. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4, in the event that any provision in this Agreement shall be found by a court, arbitrator, referee or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be construed and enforced as if it had been narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be effected or impaired thereby, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.

17.    Headings. The headings in this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall be given no effect in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

18.    Confidentiality. Subject to any requirements to publicly disclose this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, Employee shall not disclose any terms or information pertaining to any provision of this Agreement to any person or entity without the prior written consent of the Company, with the exception of Employee’s tax, legal or accounting advisors for legitimate business purposes of Employee, or as otherwise required by law.

19.    Enforcement Costs. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.5 herein, if any legal action or other proceeding is brought, for the enforcement of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, or default, in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party the costs it incurred in such action including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including costs and fees incurred on appeal), in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

20.    Survival. Termination of this Agreement shall not terminate any continuing obligation(s) of the parties under this Agreement, and the parties hereby agree that such obligation(s) shall survive termination, unless the context of the obligation(s) requires otherwise.

21.    Name or Ownership Change. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in the event of a change in the name or ownership of the Company.

22.    Compliance with other Agreements. Employee represents and warrants that the execution of this Agreement and Employee’s performance of Employee’s obligations hereunder will not conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or result in the termination of, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which Employee is a party or by which Employee is or may be bound.

23.    No Rule of Construction. This Agreement shall be construed to be neither against nor in favor of any party hereto based upon any party’s role in drafting this Agreement, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning hereof.

24.    Indemnification.

24.1    General. The Company agrees that if Employee is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that Employee is or was a trustee, director, officer, member, shareholder, partner, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Related Companies or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its business divisions as a trustee, director, officer, member, shareholder, partner, employee or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other entity, including without limitation, service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis for such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a trustee, director, officer, member, shareholder, partner, employee, agent or otherwise, Employee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all Expenses (as defined herein) incurred or suffered by Employee in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to Employee even if he has ceased to be a trustee, director, officer, member, shareholder, partner or agent of, or is no longer employed by, the Company or any of its Related Companies and shall inure to the benefit of Employee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification under this Agreement, the

Company shall indemnify Employee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Employee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of Expenses where the undertaking required pursuant to this Agreement, if any, has been tendered to the Company) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Tennessee General Corporation Act for the Company to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed but the burden of such defense shall be on the Company.

24.2    Expenses. As used in this Section 24, “Expenses” shall include, without limitation, damages, losses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, excise taxes, settlements, costs, attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, disbursements and costs of attachment or similar bonds, costs of investigations, and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under this Agreement.

24.3    Enforcement. If a claim or request under this Section 24 is not paid by the Company, or on its behalf, within thirty (30) days after a written claim or request has been received by the Company, Employee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or request and, if successful in whole or in part, Employee shall also be entitled to be paid the costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, or prosecuting such suit, together with prejudgment interest.

24.4    Partial Indemnification. If Employee is entitled to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Employee for the portion of such Expenses to which Employee is entitled.

24.5    Advances of Expenses. Expenses incurred by Employee in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance upon Employee’s request that the Company pay such Expenses, but only in the event that Employee shall have delivered in writing to the Company (i) an undertaking to reimburse the Company for Expenses with respect to which Employee is not entitled to indemnification, and (ii) a statement of Employee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company has been met.

24.6    Notice of Claim. Employee shall give the Company notice of any claim made against Employee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. In addition, Employee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Employee’s power and at such times and places as are convenient for Employee.

24.7    Defense of Claim. With respect to any Proceeding (except any criminal or regulatory Proceeding) as to which Employee notifies the Company of the commencement thereof: (i) the Company will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding at its own expense; (ii) except as otherwise provided below, to the extent it so desires, the Company will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to Employee, which in the Company’s discretion may be regular counsel to the Company and may be counsel to other officers and directors of the Company or any subsidiary thereof (Employee also shall have the right to employ Employee’s own counsel in such action, suit or Proceeding if Employee reasonably concludes that failure to do so would involve a conflict of interest between the Company and Employee, and under such circumstances the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.); and (iii) the Company shall not be liable to indemnify Employee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall not settle any action or claim in any manner that would impose any penalty that would not be paid directly or

indirectly by the Company or result in any limitation on, or reporting requirements to third parties by, Employee without Employee’s prior written consent. Neither the Company nor Employee will unreasonably withhold or delay their respective consent to any proposed settlement. A party from which consent to settle is requested shall respond to such request no later than five (5) days, unless for good cause, but in no event less than thirty (30) days. A party’s response shall either consent or set forth in reasonable detail the basis on which consent is withheld. A party failing to timely respond as provided herein shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed settlement.

24.8    Non-Exclusivity. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section 24 shall not be exclusive of any right that Employee may have or hereafter may acquire under any statute or certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or trustees or otherwise.

25. Compliance With IRC 409A.

25.1    Application of Section 409A. To the extent of any compliance issues or ambiguous terms, this Agreement shall be construed in such a manner so as to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and the rules set forth in this Section 25.1 shall apply with respect to any payments that may be subject to Section 409A of the Code notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.

25.2    Timing of Payments. Notwithstanding the applicable provisions of this Agreement regarding the timing of payments, any payment due hereunder which is contingent upon receipt of the Release described in Section 6.5 shall be made, if at all, in accordance with this Section 25.2, and only if Employee has delivered to the Company a properly executed Release for which all legally mandated revocation rights of the Employee have expired prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination. Any such payment shall be made after receipt of such executed and irrevocable Release within such sixty (60) period, unless otherwise scheduled to be made after such period pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, if the sixty (60) day period for such payments begins in one taxable year of Employee and ends in a second taxable year of Employee, any payments otherwise payable within such sixty (60) day period will be made in the second taxable year. Any payments due after such sixty (60) period shall be payable in accordance with their regularly scheduled payment date. All payments hereunder are subject to any required delay pursuant to Section 25.3, if applicable. If the Company does not receive a properly executed Release, for which all rights of revocation have lapsed, prior to the time specified in this Section 25.2, Employee shall forfeit all rights to any payments under Section 6.5 of this Agreement which are contingent on such Release.

25.3    “Specified Employee” Delay in Payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if at the time of Employee’s termination of employment with the Company Employee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Employee) until the date that is six months following Employee’s termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code) and (ii) if any other payments of money or other benefits due to Employee hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such

payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Board, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. The Company shall consult with Employee in good faith regarding the implementation of the provisions of this Section 25; provided that neither the Company nor any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability to Employee with respect to thereto. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and references herein to Employee’s termination of employment shall refer to Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of the default provisions of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h).

25.4    Expenses; In-Kind Benefits. To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute nonqualified deferred compensation, (i) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Employee, (ii) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (ii) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.

26.    Effect of Termination. Any termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company shall automatically be deemed to be a simultaneous resignation of all other positions and titles the Employee holds with the Company, Holdings or any of their business divisions, whether as an officer, director, fiduciary, administrator or otherwise.

27.    Section 280G. In the event that part or all of the consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to Employee under this Agreement together with the aggregate present value of payments, consideration, compensation and benefits under all other plans, arrangements and agreements applicable to Employee (collectively, the “Total Payments”) constitute “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G(b) of the Code subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, then the Total Payments to be made to Employee shall be reduced, but only to the extent Employee would retain a greater amount on an after-tax basis than he would retain absent such reduction, such that the value of the Total Payments that Employee is entitled to receive shall be $1 less than the maximum amount which Employee may receive without becoming subject to the excise tax or resulting in a disallowance of a deduction of the payment of such amount by the Company under Section 280G. For purposes of this Section 27, the determination of whichever amount is greater on an after-tax basis shall be (i) based on maximum federal, state and local income and employment tax rates and the tax that would be imposed on Employee pursuant to Section 4999 and (ii) made at Company expense by independent accountants selected by the Company. If the determination made pursuant to this Section 27 results in a reduction of the payments that would otherwise be paid to Employee, such reduction in payments due under this Agreement shall be first applied to reduce any cash severance payments that Employee would otherwise be entitled to receive hereunder and shall thereafter be applied to reduce other payments and benefits in a manner that would not result in subjecting Employee to additional taxation under Section 409A of the Code.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.

During each fiscal year of the Company (each a “Performance Period”), Employee shall be entitled to participate in an Annual Management Incentive Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) determined from time to time by the Board or designated Compensation Committee of the Board (“the Committee”), referred hereinafter as the “Administrator” of the Bonus Plan.

For purposes of the Bonus Plan, commencing with Performance Periods in 2015 and beyond, Employee’s Target Annual Bonus opportunity for each Performance Period will be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of Employee’s Base Salary at the time the performance goals for the relevant Performance Period are set. In respect of the Annual Bonus for 2014, the regular Target Annual Bonus opportunity will be equal to seventy percent (70%) of Employee’s Base Salary as in effect at the time the performance goals for 2014 were initially set. Employee will be eligible to receive an additional bonus in respect of the period from the Effective Date of this Agreement through December 31, 2014 (reflecting the portion of the year for which Employee served as Chief Executive Officer), with a target amount equal to $270,000, based on such performance goals as the Board or the Committee may establish. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, or except as specifically provided in Section 6.5 (“Severance Compensation”) of this Employment Agreement, Employee shall not be entitled to the payment of any bonuses under the Bonus Plan with respect to a Performance Period in the event of the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason prior to the last day of the applicable Performance Period. Bonus payments, if earned, shall be paid to Employee no later than two and one-half (2.5) months following the Performance Period to which such bonus relates, or at such time as similar bonuses are paid to other similarly situated employees of Company.
