DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK 

AWARD AGREEMENT 
 Quorum
Health Corporation 
 2016 Stock Award Plan 

THIS AGREEMENT between you and Quorum Health Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) governs an Award of the
Company’s Restricted Stock in the amount and on the date specified in your Award notification (the “Date of Grant”). 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Quorum Health Corporation 2016 Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”) in order to provide
additional incentive to certain employees and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company’s Board of
Directors (the “Board”) and the Compensation Committee of the Board (collectively, the “Committee”) have determined to grant to you this Award of Restricted Stock as provided herein to encourage your efforts toward
the continuing success of the Company. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Grant of Restricted Stock. 
 1.1 The
Company hereby grants to you this Award of Shares of Restricted Stock in the number set out in an electronic notification by the Company’s stock plan administrator, as may be appointed from time to time (the “Plan
Administrator”). The Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Award shall be issued in the form of a book entry of Shares in your name as soon as reasonably practicable after the Date of Grant and shall be subject to your (or
your estate’s, if applicable) acknowledgement and acceptance of this Agreement by electronic means to the Plan Administrator as provided in Section 9 hereof, or as you have been otherwise instructed. 

1.2 This Agreement shall be construed in accordance and consistent with, and subject to, the provisions of the Plan (the provisions of which
are hereby incorporated by reference) and, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Plan. 

2. Restrictions on Transfer. 
 The Shares
of Restricted Stock issued under this Agreement may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and may not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated until all restrictions on such Restricted Stock shall have lapsed in the manner provided in
Section 3, 4 or 5 hereof. 
 3. Lapse of Restrictions Generally. 

Except as provided in Sections 4, 5 and 6 hereof, one hundred percent (100%) of the number of Shares of Restricted Stock issued hereunder
shall vest, and the restrictions with respect to such Restricted Stock shall lapse, on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant. 







 4. Effect of Certain Separations from Service. 

If your service with the Board terminates as a result of your death or Disability, in each case if such termination occurs on or after the
Date of Grant, all Shares of Restricted Stock which have not become vested in accordance with Section 3 or 5 hereof shall vest, and the restrictions thereon shall lapse as of the date of such termination. If your service is terminated by the Board
for any reason other than for Cause, then the restrictions on the entire Award shall lapse on the date of your separation from service. 
 5. Effect of
Change in Control. 
 In the event of a Change in Control of the Company at any time on or after the Date of Grant, the terms of the
Plan shall control the vesting of any Shares of Restricted Stock which have not become vested in accordance with Section 3 or 4 hereof. 
 6. Forfeiture
of Restricted Stock. 
 Upon your voluntary separation from service on the Board for any reason other than those set forth in Section 4
hereof prior to such vesting, in addition to the circumstance described in Section 9(a) hereof, any and all Shares of Restricted Stock which have not become vested in accordance with Section 3, 4 or 5 hereof shall be forfeited and shall revert to
the Company. 
 7. Delivery of Restricted Stock. 

7.1 Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.2 hereof, evidence of the book entry of Shares or, if requested by you prior to such lapse of
restrictions, a stock certificate with respect to the Shares of Restricted Stock for which the restrictions have lapsed pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 5 hereof, shall be delivered to you as soon as practicable following the date on which the
restrictions on such Shares of Restricted Stock have lapsed, free of all restrictions hereunder. 
 7.2 Evidence of the book entry of Shares
with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock in respect of which the restrictions have lapsed upon your death pursuant to Section 4 hereof or, if requested by the executors or administrators of your estate upon such lapse of restrictions, a stock
certificate with respect to such Shares of Restricted Stock, shall be delivered to the executors or administrators of your estate as soon as practicable following the Company’s receipt of notification of your death, free of all restrictions
hereunder. In the event of your death, all references herein to “you” shall also include your executors, administrators, heirs or assigns. 
 8.
Dividends and Voting Rights. 
 Subject to Section 9(a) hereof, upon issuance of the Shares of Restricted Stock, you shall have all
of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote the Shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect thereto; provided, however, that dividends or
distributions declared or paid on the Restricted Stock by the Company shall be deferred and reinvested in Shares of Restricted Stock based on the Fair Market Value of a Share of the Company’s common stock on the date such dividend or
distribution is paid or made (provided that no fractional Shares will be issued), and the additional Shares of Restricted Stock thus acquired shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeiture and the same vesting schedule as the
Restricted Stock in respect of which such dividends or distributions were made.
