receive the cash to which his Award Opportunity entitles him as soon as
practicable after the end of the Performance Period with respect to that Award
Opportunity; provided, however, that:

(A) Except as may otherwise be provided in an individual’s employment agreement,

all respects, and no cash shall be delivered or paid to the Participant thereof,
in the event that:

whatsoever (subject to the provisions of Article VI hereof) prior to the end of
the Performance Period for that Award Opportunity; or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) The employment status of the Participant has changed prior to the end of the
Performance Period for that Award Opportunity so that the Participant is no
longer an Eligible Executive.

(B) The Committee shall establish, for each Performance Period, the goals based

consideration given to the economic conditions existing at the time said goals
are established. The Committee shall deliver to each Participant written notice
of the goals established for the Performance Period to which said Award

Opportunity. The Committee may not increase the amount of an Award Opportunity
that would otherwise be paid.

(C) A portion, or all, of each Award Opportunity shall be forfeited and canceled

(D) Nothing contained in this Article V or elsewhere in this Plan shall
eliminate, impair or otherwise affect the right of the Employer to terminate or
change the employment of any Eligible Executive at any time, and the grant of an
Award Opportunity to any such Eligible Executive shall not be deemed to, and
shall not, result in any agreement, expressed or implied, by the Employer to
retain such person in any specific position or in its employ for the duration of
the Performance Period with respect to such Award Opportunity or for any other
period.

ARTICLE VI

Death or Disability of Eligible Executive

or Change in Control of the Company

6.01 In the event of the termination of employment with the Employer during any
Performance Period of any Participant by reason of death, each Participant (or
such Participant’s estate) shall be entitled to receive an Award Opportunity in
cash equivalent to a pro rata portion of the amount which said Participant would
have received, if the employment

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of such Participant had continued through the Performance Period for such Award
Opportunity, based upon the level of actual achievement of the Performance Goal
for the fiscal year in which the Participant’s death occurred. This pro rata
portion shall be computed as follows:

 

Year in the Performance Period

In Which Participant’s Death Occurs

   % of Award Opportunity Paid

Year One

   33%

Year Two

   67%

Year Three

   100%

Any such payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the close of the
fiscal year in which such Participant’s death occurred.

6.02 In the event of the termination of employment with the Employer during any
Performance Period of any Participant by reason of the Disability of such
Participant, the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, waive the
continuation of the employment requirement set forth in section 5.01(A)(1)
above. In the event that such requirement is waived, such Participant will be
entitled to receive an Award Opportunity in cash equivalent to a pro rata
portion of the amount which said Participant would have received, if the
employment of such Participant had continued through the Performance Period for
such Award Opportunity. This pro rata portion shall be computed as follows:

The cash Award Opportunity which would have been earned based on the level of
actual achievement of the Performance Goal at the end of the Performance Period
will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
full calendar months during the Performance Period prior to the Participant’s
death, Disability or retirement, and the denominator of which shall be the
number of full calendar months contained in the complete Performance Period.

Any such payment shall be made as soon as practicable following the close of the
fiscal year in which such Participant’s Separation from Service occurred;
provided, however, that to the extent required under Section 409A of the Code,
no such payment shall be made to any Participant who is a “specified individual”
(as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)) before the date which is six (6) months
following such Separation from Service.

6.03 In the event of the termination of employment with the Employer of any
Participant after completing a Performance Period, but before distribution of
his Award Opportunity is made, such Participant or his estate, as the case may
be, will be entitled to receive the Award Opportunity to the same extent, in the
same manner and at the same time as if the employment of such Participant had
not terminated, except that if the Participant has directly or indirectly
engaged in any activity that is harmful to the Company or the Employer, as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion (including without limitation
the disclosure or misuse of any confidential information or trade secrets of the
Company or the Employer), or has violated the terms of any non-compete,
non-disclosure or non-solicitation agreement, the Participant shall forfeit any
entitlement to such Award Opportunity.

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.04 If there is a “Change in Control” of the Company, as hereinafter defined,
during any Performance Period, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan to the contrary, any Participant holding any Award Opportunity shall be
irrevocably entitled to receive a payout in cash of the amount of the Award
Opportunity under the following schedule:

 

Year in which Change in Control Occurs

   % of Award Opportunity Paid

Year One

   33%

Year Two

   67%

Year Three

   100%

Such payment will be made upon the effective date of a Change in Control of the
Company.

6.05 For purposes of this Article VI, a “Change in Control” of the Company shall
be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(A) Any sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by
way of merger or consolidation) in one or a series of related transactions, of
all or substantially all of the assets of Pediatric Services of America, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“PSA”) and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any

transactions in which the Voting Stock of the Company, PSA or PSA-Capital is
converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than
any transaction where (1) the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company, PSA or
PSA-Capital is converted into or exchanged for Voting Stock of the surviving or
transferee corporation and (2) either (a) the “beneficial owners” ( as defined
in Rule 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) of the outstanding Voting Stock
of the Company, PSA or PSA-Capital immediately prior to such transaction own
beneficially, directly or indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries, not less
than a majority of the total outstanding Voting Stock of the surviving or
transferee corporation immediately after such transaction, or (b) if immediately
prior to such transaction the Company (except with respect to PSA or
PSA-Capital), PSA-Capital or PSA is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of any other
Person (each such other Person, the “Holding Company”), the “beneficial owners”
(as defined above) of the outstanding Voting Stock of such Holding Company
immediately prior to such transaction own beneficially, directly or indirectly
through one or more Subsidiaries, not less than a majority of the outstanding
Voting Stock of the surviving or transferee corporation immediately after such
transaction; or

(D) The consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions

becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined above) of more than 50% of the voting
power of the Voting Stock of the Company, PSA-Capital or PSA.

Notwithstanding the foregoing definition of “Change in Control,” however, in no
event shall a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred if any of the above

controlled group that is publicly traded on an established securities market or
otherwise, so long as none of the Participants has their employment status
changed as a result of such events.

amendments, or successor statutes of similar intent.
