        The Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings 2008 Stock Incentive Plan
(the “Plan”) is hereby amended as set forth below, effective as of the date of
adoption of this Amendment by the Board of Directors of Laboratory Corporation
of America Holdings (the “Corporation”), as provided below:

1.     Section 8(f) of the Plan is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

  Termination of Employment. Except as provided in this Section 8(f) and in
Section 8(g) hereof, an Option may not be exercised unless the Participant is
then in the employ or service of (1) the Company, (2) an Affiliate Corporation
or (3) a corporation issuing or assuming the Option in a transaction to which
Section 424 of the Code applies or a parent corporation or subsidiary
corporation of the corporation described in this Clause 3, and unless the
Participant has remained continuously so employed since the date of grant of the
Option. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, in the
event that the employment or service of a Participant shall terminate (other
than by reason of death, Disability or Retirement), all Options of such
Participant that are exercisable at the time of such termination may, unless
earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised within three (3)
months after such termination. Nothing in this Plan or in any Option or Right
granted pursuant hereto shall confer upon an individual any right to continue in
the employ or service of the Company or any of its Affiliate Corporations or
interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any such Affiliate
Corporation to terminate such employment or service at any time.

Except as amended above, the Plan shall remain unchanged in all other respects.
