6. Effect of Termination, Retirement, Death or Disability. Without limiting the vesting and payment requirements set forth in Sections 4 and 5 and the Committee Certification requirement in Section 3(d) of this Award Notice, if your employment with all Employers terminates prior to March 1 of the Fifth Grant Year, or if you are otherwise not an Eligible Person on March 1 of the Fifth Grant Year, any and all unvested and unpaid portions of the Award will be forfeited and will not vest nor be paid, unless Section 6(a) or 6(b) applies.

 

  a. Retirement. If your employment with all Employers terminates because of your voluntary termination of employment from all Employers and such termination occurs on or after your 62nd birthday, then:

 

  i. the Deferred Stock Award Service Vesting Component; and

 

  ii. the portions, if any, of the Performance Components that were deemed the Earned Performance Award, pursuant to Section 5 of this Award Notice, prior to the date of your retirement,

will continue to vest and be paid in the manner and on the dates described in this Award Notice.

 

  b. Death or Disability. If your employment with all Employers terminates because of your death or total and permanent disability, then:

 

  i. the Deferred Stock Award Service Vesting Component; and

 

  ii.

the portions, if any, of the Performance Components that would have been deemed the Earned Performance Award, pursuant to Section 5 of this Award Notice, but for your termination because of your death or total and permanent disability,

 

Page 6 of 13


  will continue to vest and be paid in the manner and on the dates described in this Award Notice. The foregoing notwithstanding, any portion of the Award that will not have vested by the third anniversary of the date of your termination because of your death or total and permanent disability will be forfeited.

 

7. Effect of Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change In Control of Health Management that also qualifies as a change in the ownership or effective control of Health Management or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of Health Management within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), your rights will be determined in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan. Upon such Change in Control , the Section 162(m) Performance Requirement will be deemed to have been met and Health Management will be deemed to have achieved 100% of its Targeted Adjusted EBITDA and to have achieved the Quality Requirement.

 

8. Nature of Shares of Deferred Stock. The shares of deferred stock represent book-keeping entries only, and constitute Health Management’s unfunded and unsecured promise to distribute shares of the Company’s Common Stock to you on a future date.

Health Management will, provided that the conditions to vesting specified in this Award Notice are satisfied, distribute the shares of Common Stock representing the vested portion of the Deferred Stock Award, and pay the vested portion of the Performance Cash Award, as promptly as practicable following each vesting date, but in no event later than 30 days thereafter. The shares of Common Stock may be distributed during your lifetime only to you, or after your death to your Beneficiary, or, in the absence of such Beneficiary, to your duly qualified personal representative.

 

10. Deferred Stock Award – Tax Withholding. You acknowledge that Health Management is required to withhold taxes upon the occurrence of certain events in connection with the Deferred Stock Award (a “Withholding Obligation”). You agree that, upon any event that triggers a Withholding Obligation (such as vesting of shares underlying the Deferred Stock Award), Health Management may, in its sole discretion, satisfy all or any portion of the Withholding Obligation by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (A) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock distributable to you; (B) withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by Health Management; or (C) requiring you to tender a cash payment.

 

11. Rights as a Stockholder. Prior to the distribution of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 9 of this Award Notice, you will not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the Deferred Stock Award, including, but not limited to, the right to receive cash dividends, if any, as may be declared on such shares of Common Stock from time to time or the right to vote (in person or by proxy) such shares of Common Stock at any meeting of stockholders of Health Management.

12. Restrictions on Distribution of Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Notice, if at any time Health Management determines that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Deferred Stock Award upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the approval of any governmental agency, is necessary or advisable as a condition to the distribution of any vested shares of Common Stock under this Award Notice, such distribution may not be made in whole or in part unless and until such listing, registration, qualification or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to Health Management.

 

13. Effect of Breach of Restrictive Covenants. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Notice, the unvested or unpaid portion of the Award will be forfeited on the day on which you breach any provision of Section 14 of this Award Notice.

Page 8 of 13


  otherwise), solicit, induce, entice, hire, employ or attempt to employ any individual who was employed by an Employer on the date of the termination of your employment or who was employed by an Employer at any time during the 12-month period ending on the date of termination of your employment.

 

  c. Employer Interests. You will not, during your employment, nor for 12 months after the termination of your employment, directly or indirectly, take any action that is intended to, or that reasonably may be expected to, adversely affect an Employer, an Employer’s business or reputation or its relationships with any of its current or prospective patients, current or prospective payors, regulators, physicians, current or prospective employees, the news media, current or prospective investors, boards of directors or advisory boards of directors, industry analysts, competitors, current or prospective strategic partners, current or prospective vendors, current or prospective business partners, communities or any individual or entity with which an Employer has a current or prospective business relationship.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not, directly or indirectly, take, publish, use or disclose any of an Employer’s Confidential Information during or after your employment, unless such taking, publication, use or disclosure is:

 

  i. necessary to your performance of your duties for an Employer; or

 

  ii. required by law.

If you become aware that you may be legally compelled to disclose an Employer’s Confidential Information, you will immediately give written notice to the General Counsel of Health Management.

  e. The term “Confidential Information” means verbal or written confidential, privileged, protected, proprietary, or non-public information that is related in any way to an Employer’s operations, including but not limited to, reports, opinions, documents, statements, allegations, conversations, presentations, analyses, formulas, patterns, devices, inventions, methods, techniques, processes, acquisition and development data, trade secrets, notes, compilations, studies, surveys, survey responses, research, development, marketing, pricing, customers, clients and prospective customers and clients, suppliers and potential suppliers, business methods, strategies, financial condition, personnel, plans, policies, contract forms, interpretations and any other information, regardless of the form in which it is transmitted or maintained, or who prepared, transmitted or maintained it.

  f. Damages. You acknowledge that damages to an Employer resulting from any breach of this Section 14 will be substantial but difficult to ascertain. You therefore agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Employer and its directors, stockholders, and affiliated companies from and against any and all claims, suits, obligations, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or relating to any breach or nonperformance of the covenants and obligations set forth in this Section 14. You further agree that this provision for damages will not limit or impair in any way an Employer’s right to obtain other remedies, or injunctive or other equitable relief, as specified herein.

 

  g. Enforcement. You acknowledge that without limiting the provisions of Section 14(f) of this Award Notice, if you violate this Section 14, an Employer may suffer irreparable harm and have no adequate remedy at law. You therefore consent to enforcement of your obligations under this Award Notice by means of a temporary injunction or other appropriate equitable relief in any competent court, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages, which will be in addition to any other remedies an Employer may have under this Award Notice or otherwise. You hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of Florida for the purpose of such enforcement. You hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any such action or proceeding, any claim that you were not subject thereto or that venue is improper for lack of residence, inconvenient forum or otherwise. You agree that service of process may be made upon you by certified mail at your address last known to an Employer, and you waive your right to a jury trial.

 

  h. Survival. The provisions of this Section 14 and your obligations hereunder will survive any forfeiture of the Award or any other termination of this Award.

 

15. Miscellaneous.

 

  a. Binding Agreement. This Award Notice is binding on and enforceable by and against the parties, their successors, legal representatives and assigns.

  i. The Award will not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or subject to any lien, obligation or liability to any party (other than an Employer), or assigned or transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or to a Beneficiary upon your death. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Award or any right or privilege conferred thereby contrary to the provisions of this Award Notice, or upon the sale or levy or attachment or similar process upon the rights and privileges conferred thereby, the Award will immediately become null and void.

 

  ii.

Page 11 of 13


  h. Severability. If any provision of this Award Notice will be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will: (i) be deemed limited to the extent that such court of competent jurisdiction deems it lawful, valid and/or enforceable and as so limited will remain in full force and effect; and (ii) not affect any other provision of this Award Notice or part thereof, each of which will remain in full force and effect. If the making of any payment or the provision of any other benefit required under this Award Notice will be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability will not prevent any other payment or benefit from being made or provided under this Award Notice, and if the making of any payment in full or the provision of any other benefit required under this Award Notice in full would be unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, then such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability will not prevent such payment or benefit from being made or provided in part, to the extent that it would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, and the maximum payment or benefit that would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable will be made or provided under this Award Notice.

 

  i. Waiver. A party’s failure to insist on compliance or enforcement of any provision of this Award Notice will not affect its validity or enforceability or constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that provision or of any other provision of this Award Notice.

 

  j. Rights of Employer. This Award Notice does not affect the right of any Employer to take any corporate action whatsoever, including without limitation, its right to recapitalize, reorganize or make other changes in its capital structure or business, merge or consolidate, issue bonds, notes, shares of common stock or other securities, including preferred stock, or options therefor, dissolve or liquidate, or sell or transfer any part of its assets or business.

 

  k. Rules of Construction.
