EXECUTION COPY

AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT made and entered into in Plano, Texas, by and between LCI Holding Company, Inc. (the Company), a Delaware corporation, LifeCare
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Principal Subsidiary) with its principal place of business at 5560 Tennyson Parkway, Plano, TX 75024, and Wayne McAlister, of Dallas, Texas (the Executive), effective as of the 14th
day of January, 2008 (the Effective Date).

WHEREAS, the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are a complex matter
requiring direction and leadership in a variety of arenas, including financial, strategic planning, regulatory, community relations and others;

WHEREAS, the Executive is possessed of certain experience and expertise that qualify him to provide the direction and leadership required by the Company and its subsidiaries; and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company therefore wishes to employ the Executive as its President and Chief
Executive Officer and the Executive wishes to accept such employment;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual promises, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree:

1. Employment. Subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby offers and the Executive hereby accepts employment.

2.
Term. Subject to earlier termination as hereafter provided, the Executives employment hereunder shall be for a term of two (2) years, commencing on the Effective Date, and shall automatically renew thereafter for successive terms
of one year each unless either party gives notice to the other not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the initial or any renewal term that this Agreement shall not renew, in which event this Agreement shall expire at the end
of the then-current term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, however, in the event of a Change of Control, as hereafter defined, the then-current term hereof shall be automatically extended as required in order that the
remainder of said term shall not be less than twelve (12) months from the date of the Change of Control. The term of this Agreement, as from time to time extended or renewed, is hereafter referred to as the term of this Agreement or
the term hereof. Any notice of nonrenewal given pursuant to this Section 2 shall be treated for all purposes hereunder, if given by the Company, as a termination other than for Cause or, if given by the Executive, as a termination
for other than Good Reason.

3. Capacity and Performance.

(a) During the term hereof, the Executive shall serve the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, and without
further compensation, the Executive shall serve as a director and/or officer of one or more of the Companys subsidiaries (including the Principal Subsidiary) if so elected or appointed from time to time.

(b) During the term hereof, the Executive shall be employed by the Company on a full-time basis and shall perform such duties and
responsibilities on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors of the



---

Company (the Board) or by its designees. During the term hereof and thereafter, the Company will indemnify the Executive to the maximum extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law in respect of any action, suit, proceeding or claim (other than any such action, suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim initiated by or on behalf of the Executive) to which the Executive is or is
threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that the Executive is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Company currently has in effect a directors and officers insurance policy covering each
of the Companys directors and executive officers and will maintain, during the term of this Agreement, a directors and officers insurance policy having coverage and other terms as determined by the Board. During the term of this
Agreement, the Executive will be covered under the Companys directors and officers insurance policy as then in effect, in accordance with the terms of such policy, to the same extent as other directors and officers of the Company.

(c) During the term hereof, the Executive shall devote his full business time and his best efforts, business judgment,
skill and knowledge exclusively to the advancement of the business and interests of the Company and its subsidiaries and to the discharge of his duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Executive shall not engage in any other business activity or
serve in any industry, trade, professional, governmental or academic position during the term of this Agreement, except as may be expressly approved in advance by the Board in writing; provided, that the Executive may manage his personal investments
and his farming and oil and gas investments and may devote reasonable time to activities involving charitable, educational and religious organizations, but only to the extent that such management and activities, in the aggregate, do not require
substantial amounts of Executives time during the working day and do not interfere with or prohibit the performance of Executives duties under this Agreement or conflict in any way with the business of the Company.

(d) The Company agrees to propose to the shareholders of the Company at each appropriate Annual Meeting of such shareholders during the
term hereof the election or reelection of the Executive as a member of the Board, provided that the Executive is otherwise eligible for such election.

4. Compensation and Benefits. As compensation for all services performed by the Executive under and during the term hereof and subject to performance of the Executives duties and of the obligations of the
Executive to the Company and its subsidiaries, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise:

(a) Base Salary. During the
term hereof, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary at the rate of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) per annum, payable in accordance with the payroll practices of the Company for its executives and subject to upward adjustment
from time to time by the Board, in its sole discretion. Such base salary, as from time to time adjusted, is hereafter referred to as the Base Salary.

(b) Incentive and Bonus Compensation. During each fiscal year completed during the term hereof, the Executive shall be eligible to
earn an annual bonus (the Annual Bonus). The amount of any Annual Bonus earned hereunder shall be determined by the Board based on the achievement of performance objectives by the Executive and/or the Company for



-2-



---

that year, as established by the Board after consultation with the Executive and shall be payable not later than two and one half months following the end of
the fiscal year for which the bonus was earned. The target amount of the Annual Bonus is 60% of Base Salary and the maximum amount of the Annual Bonus is 100% of Base Salary. Any compensation paid to the Executive as an Annual Bonus shall be in
addition to the Base Salary, but shall be in lieu of participation in any other plan or compensation program, whether cash or equity, that is intended to offer the opportunity for any incentive, bonus or commission compensation, but excluding for
the avoidance of doubt the Executives equity participation in accordance with Section 4(c) hereof. In addition to the Annual Bonus, the Executive shall be eligible to earn a one-time bonus (the Change of Control Bonus) based
upon the Transaction Proceeds (as defined below) received by Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and CP IV Coinvestment, L.P. in such Change of Control transaction and shall be payable not later than two and one half months following the end of the fiscal
year in which the Change of Control occurs. Transaction Proceeds means the cumulative total of all consideration (whether cash or securities) actually received by Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and CP IV Coinvestment, L.P. (whether received
before, on or after the closing date of such Change of Control transaction) in respect of their total cash investment in the Company, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, customary and reasonable management or similar fees paid to affiliates of
Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and CP IV Coinvestment, L.P. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive acknowledges and agrees that any management or similar fees payable (or that become payable) pursuant to the Management Agreement dated as of
August 11, 2005 by and among the Company, TC Group IV, L.L.C. and the other parties thereto, as in effect on the Effective Date, are customary and reasonable. Any securities included in Transaction Proceeds shall be deemed to have the value
attributed to such securities in the Change of Control transaction. The amount of any Change of Control Bonus (and whether it is payable in cash or in securities) shall be determined in accordance with the schedule set forth on Exhibit A and
any amount of such Change of Control Bonus earned in respect of Transaction Proceeds that are received after the closing date of a Change of Control transaction shall become payable by the Company to Executive only upon receipt by Carlyle Partners
IV, L.P. and CP IV Coinvestment, L.P. of such Transaction Proceeds.

(c) Equity Awards. Promptly following the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall grant to the Executive, pursuant to the Companys equity incentive plan, as from time to time in effect, an option to purchase a total of 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common
stock (the Common Stock) at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board, and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such
equity incentive plan, the form of stock option agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B and as determined by the Board (such option award together with any subsequently granted option awards, the Option Awards). In addition, the
Company shall grant to the Executive a restricted stock award if the Company achieves certain fiscal year 2008 EBITDA levels (as determined by the Board). The EBITDA target levels and the corresponding number of shares of Common Stock to be subject
to such restricted stock award are set forth on Exhibit C. Such restricted stock award, if granted, will be on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such equity incentive plan, the form of restricted stock award attached hereto
as Exhibit D and as determined by the Board (such restricted stock award together with any subsequently granted restricted stock awards, the Restricted Stock Awards). Prior to issuing a Restricted Stock Award, an Option Award or
any



-3-



---

shares thereunder to the Executive, the Company may require that the Executive provide such representations regarding the Executives sophistication and
investment intent and other such matters as the Company shall determine to be legally required or otherwise appropriate. None of the Companys securities will be registered under applicable securities laws for the indefinite future and there
will be substantial restrictions on resale imposed by the Companys corporate charter, the stockholders agreement and applicable law. Restricted Stock Awards, Option Awards and any shares issued upon exercise of Option Awards shall be subject
to the terms of a stockholders agreement, as from time to time in effect (the Stockholders Agreement).

(d)
Vacations. During the term hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of vacation per year, to be taken at such times and intervals as shall be determined by the Executive, subject to the reasonable business needs of the
Company and such scheduling procedure as the Company may from time to time require. Vacation shall otherwise be governed by the policies of the Company, as in effect from time to time.

(e) Employee Benefit Plans. During the term hereof and subject to any contribution therefor generally required of executives of the
Company, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any and all Employee Benefit Plans from time to time in effect for executives of the Company generally, except to the extent such plans are duplicative of benefits otherwise provided to the
Executive under this Agreement (e.g., severance pay). Such participation shall be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable Company policies. The Company may alter, modify, add to or delete its Employee
Benefit Plans at any time as it, in its sole judgment, determines to be appropriate, without recourse by the Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, Employee Benefit Plan shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in
Section 3(3) of ERISA, as amended from time to time.

(f) Business Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse
the Executive for all reasonable, customary and necessary business expenses incurred or paid by the Executive in the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder, subject to any maximum annual limit and other restrictions on such
expenses set by the Board and to such reasonable substantiation and documentation as may be specified by the Company from time to time.

5.
Termination of Employment and Severance Benefits. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 hereof, the Executives employment hereunder shall terminate prior to the expiration of the term hereof under the following circumstances:

(a) Death. In the event of the Executives death during the term hereof, the Executives employment
hereunder shall immediately and automatically terminate. In such event, the Company shall pay to the beneficiary designated by the Executive in writing or, if no beneficiary has been so designated by the Executive, to his estate, (i) the Base
Salary earned but not paid through the date of termination, (ii) pay for any vacation time earned but not used through the date of termination, (iii) any bonus compensation awarded for the fiscal year preceding that in which termination
occurs, but unpaid on the date of termination and (iv) any business expenses incurred by the Executive but un-reimbursed on the date of termination, provided that such expenses and required substantiation and documentation are submitted within
sixty (60) days of termination and that such expenses are reimbursable under Company policy



-4-



---

(all of the foregoing, Final Compensation). In addition, the Company shall pay to the Executives beneficiary designated by the Executive in
writing or, if no beneficiary has been so designated by the Executive, to his estate an annual bonus for the fiscal year in which termination occurs, determined by multiplying the target Annual Bonus the Executive would have been eligible to receive
had he continued employment through the last day of the fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days he was employed during the fiscal year, through the date of termination, and the denominator of which is 365 (a
Pro-Rated Annual Bonus). Such Pro-Rated Annual Bonus will be payable at the time annual bonuses are paid to Company executives generally under its executive incentive plan. Further, the Board shall cause any portion of any Option Awards
and Restricted Stock Awards granted to Executive by the Company in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise that remains unvested on the date of termination hereunder to vest on the date the Executives employment terminates (together, the
Accelerated Awards). Such Accelerated Awards shall be granted to the Executives beneficiary designated by the Executive in writing or, if no beneficiary has been so designated by the Executive, to his estate and shall otherwise be
governed by the terms of the applicable award and plan documents. In the event of termination hereunder, payment by the Company of any amounts that may be due the Executive under this Section 5(a) shall constitute the entire obligation of the
Company to the Executive.

(b) Disability.

(i) The Company may terminate the Executives employment hereunder, upon
notice to the Executive, in the event that the Executive becomes disabled through any illness, injury, accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature and, as a result, is unable to perform substantially all of his duties and
responsibilities hereunder, notwithstanding the provision of any reasonable accommodation, for ninety (90) days during any period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) consecutive calendar days. In the event of such termination, the
Company shall pay the Executive all Final Compensation. In addition, the Company will pay to the Executive a Pro-Rated Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which termination occurs, payable at the time annual bonuses are paid to Company executives
generally under its executive incentive plan or, if later, on the tenth (10th) business day following the later of the effective date of the
release of claims in the form attached hereto as Appendix A (the Employee Release) or the date it is received by Karen H. Bechtel on behalf of the Company. Further, the Board shall cause any portion of any Option Award granted to
Executive by the Company in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise that remains unvested on the date of termination hereunder (the Accelerated Option) to vest on the date the Executives employment terminates, and the Executive
may exercise the Accelerated Option as of the date immediately following the later of (i) the effective date of the Employee Release or (ii) the date that Karen H. Bechtel receives the Employee Release, signed by the Executive. In
addition, on the later of the effective date of the Employee Release or the date Karen H. Bechtel receives the Employee Release, signed by the Executive, the Company shall cause any outstanding portion of any Restricted Stock Award that remains
unvested to vest (the Accelerated Stock Award). The Accelerated Option and the Accelerated Stock Award shall otherwise be governed by the terms of the applicable award and plan documents. Except for the payment of Final



-5-



---

Compensation, any obligation of the Company to the Executive hereunder, however, is conditioned upon the Executive signing a timely and effective Employee
Release following termination of the Executives employment hereunder. In the event of termination hereunder, payment by the Company of any amounts that may be due the Executive under this Section 5(b) shall constitute the entire
obligation of the Company to the Executive.

(ii) The Board may designate another employee to act in the Executives
place during any period of the Executives disability. Notwithstanding any such designation, the Executive shall continue to receive the Base Salary in accordance with Section 4(a) and benefits in accordance with Section 4(e), to the
extent permitted by the then-current terms of the applicable benefit plans, until the Executive becomes eligible for disability income benefits under the Companys disability income plan or until the termination of his employment, whichever
shall first occur.

(iii) While receiving disability income payments under the Companys disability income plan, the
Executive shall not be entitled to receive any Base Salary under Section 4(a) hereof, but shall continue to participate in Company benefit plans in accordance with Section 4(e) and the terms of such plans, until the termination of his
employment.

(iv) If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Executive is disabled through any illness,
injury, accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature so as to be unable to perform substantially all of his duties and responsibilities hereunder, the Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to a medical
examination by a physician selected by the Company to whom the Executive or his duly appointed guardian, if any, has no reasonable objection to determine whether the Executive is so disabled and such determination shall for the purposes of this
Agreement be conclusive of the issue. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit to such medical examination, the Companys determination of the issue shall be binding on the Executive.

(c) By the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executives employment hereunder for Cause at any time upon
written notice to the Executive setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Cause. The following, as determined by the Board in its reasonable judgment, shall constitute Cause for termination:

(i) fraud, embezzlement or other material dishonesty with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates;

(ii) the Executives breach of Section 3(c), 7, 8, 9, 10 or 12 hereof or of any fiduciary duty of loyalty owed to the Company or
any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that with respect to a breach of Section 3(c) hereof, Cause shall not exist until the Company delivers to Executive written notice of such breach, specifying the nature of the breach, and
Executive fails to cure such breach within thirty days of delivery of such written notice; or



-6-



---

(iii) commission of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude.

Upon the giving of notice of termination of the Executives employment hereunder for Cause, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive, other
than for Final Compensation.

(d) By the Company Other than for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executives
employment hereunder other than for Cause at any time upon notice to the Executive. In the event of such termination, in addition to Final Compensation, then until the conclusion of the period of twenty-four (24) months following the date of
termination (the Severance Pay Period), the Company shall pay the Executive the Base Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination and, subject to any employee contribution applicable to the Executive on the date of
termination, shall continue to contribute to the premium cost of the Executives participation in the Companys group medical and dental plans, provided that the Executive is entitled to continue such participation under applicable law and
plan terms. In addition, the Company shall pay the Executive a bonus (the Termination Bonus) equal to two times the lesser of (i) 60% of the Executives Base Salary in effect on the date of termination, or (ii) the Annual
Bonus paid to the Executive in respect of the immediately preceding fiscal year (or if no such Annual Bonus was paid to the Executive in respect of the preceding fiscal year, $0). The Termination Bonus shall be payable in two equal installments at
the time each year during the Severance Pay Period that annual bonuses are paid to Company executives generally under its executive incentive plan, provided, however, that no Termination Bonus payment shall be made until the later of the effective
date of the Employee Release or the date the Employee Release, signed by the Executive, is received by Karen H. Bechtel. The Base Salary payment to which the Executive is entitled hereunder shall be payable in accordance with the normal payroll
practices of the Company and will begin at the Companys next regular payroll period which is at least five business days following the later of the effective date of the Employee Release or the date the Employee Release, signed by the
Executive, is received by Karen H. Bechtel, but shall be retroactive to the next business day following the date of termination. In the event of termination hereunder, payment by the Company of any amounts that may be due the Executive under this
Section 5(d) shall constitute the entire obligation of the Company to the Executive and any obligation of the Company to the Executive hereunder is conditioned upon the Executive signing a timely and effective Employee Release following
termination of the Executives employment hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with a termination of Executives employment hereunder by the Company other than for Cause, Executive shall not, pursuant to this Agreement,
forfeit any vested equity securities of the Company then owned by the Executive or forfeit the right to exercise any vested stock options that are intended to remain exercisable by the Executive, in accordance with their terms, following
the date of termination of Executives employment hereunder, but all such equity securities (including any such vested stock options) shall remain subject to the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, any expiration
provisions, repurchase rights or other provisions providing for the repurchase, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such equity securities) of any applicable award document, plan document, stockholder agreement or other document or
arrangement then in effect relating to such equity securities.

(e) By the Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment
hereunder for Good Reason if (1) the Executive provides written notice to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the condition giving rise to the Good Reason not later than 60 days following the date on which the Executive first obtains
knowledge of the occurrence of the condition, (2) the Company fails to remedy such condition within 30 days (or ten business days in the case of an inadvertent failure as contemplated by clause (ii) below) of receipt of such written
notice, and (3) such termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason occurs within 30 days of the expiration of the 30 day period referred to in clause (2) above. The following conditions arising without the Executives
prior written consent shall constitute Good Reason for termination by the Executive:

(i) material diminution, without his
consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), in the nature or scope of the Executives responsibilities, duties or authority attendant to the Executives position (including failure of the Company to continue the Executive in the position of
President and Chief Executive Officer and failure of the shareholders of the Company to elect at each appropriate Annual Meeting of such shareholders during the term hereof the Executive as a member of the Board, provided that the Executive is
otherwise eligible for such election); provided, however, that the Companys failure to continue the Executives appointment or election as a director or officer of any of its subsidiaries, a change in reporting relationships resulting
from a Change of Control, any diminution of the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any sale or transfer of equity, property or other assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall not constitute Good Reason; or

(ii) material failure of the Company to provide the Executive the Base Salary in accordance with the terms of
Section 4(a) hereof, excluding an inadvertent failure which is cured within ten business days following notice from the Executive specifying in detail the nature of such failure; or

(iii) Executive is required to relocate his business office to a place more than 30 miles from both Dallas, Texas and the Companys
existing office in Plano, Texas.

In the event of termination in accordance with this Section 5(e), then the Executive will be entitled to the same
pay and benefits he would have been entitled to receive had the Executive been terminated by the Company other than for Cause in accordance with Section 5(d) above; provided that the Executive satisfies all conditions to such entitlement,
including without limitation signing and return of a timely and effective Employee Release. In the event of termination hereunder, payment by the Company of any amounts that may be due the Executive under this Section 5(e) shall constitute the
entire obligation of the Company to the Executive and any obligation of the Company to the Executive hereunder is conditioned upon the Executive signing a timely and effective Employee Release following termination of the Executives employment
hereunder.



-8-



---

(f) By the Executive Other than for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his
employment hereunder at any time upon ninety (90) days notice to the Company. In the event of termination of the Executive pursuant to this Section 5(f), the Board may elect to waive the period of notice, or any portion thereof, and,
if the Board so elects, the Company will pay the Executive his Base Salary for the first ninety (90) days of the notice period (or for any remaining portion of that period). The Company shall have no further obligation to the Executive, other
than for any Final Compensation due to him.

(g) Upon a Change of Control.

(i) If a Change of Control occurs hereafter and within twelve months following such Change of Control, the Company terminates the
Executives employment other than for Cause or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, then, in lieu of any payments to or on behalf of the Executive under Section 5(d) or Section 5(e) hereof, and provided that the
Executive signs a timely and effective Employee Release following termination of employment, within ten business days following the later of the effective date of the Employee Release or the date the Employee Release, signed by the Executive, is
received by Karen H. Bechtel, the Company shall pay (A) all Final Compensation; (B) a lump sum payment to the Executive equal to two times the current annual Base Salary; (C) the full cost of the Executives continued
participation in the Companys group health and dental insurance plans for so long as the Executive remains entitled to continue such participation under applicable law, to a maximum of twenty-four (24) months; and (D) a lump sum
amount to the Executive equal to the Termination Bonus. In addition, the Board shall cause the Accelerated Option to vest on the date the Executives employment terminates, and the Executive may exercise the Accelerated Option as of the date
immediately following the later of (i) the effective date of the Employee Release or (ii) the date that Karen H. Bechtel receives the Employee Release, signed by the Executive. Further, on the later of the effective date of the Employee
Release or the date Karen H. Bechtel receives the Employee Release, signed by the Executive, the Company shall provide for the accelerated vesting of the Accelerated Stock Award. In the event of termination hereunder, payment by the Company of any
amounts that may be due the Executive under this Section 5(g) shall constitute the entire obligation of the Company to the Executive and any obligation of the Company to the Executive hereunder is conditioned upon the Executive signing a timely
and effective Employee Release following termination of the Executives employment hereunder.

(ii) The Company and the
Executive agree that in the event any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive in connection with a Change of Control or Executives termination from employment under this Section 5(g) (the Change of
Control Payments) might be characterized as parachute payments under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), as amended (Section 280G), the parties shall timely take reasonable steps to avoid
the tax liability under Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code to the extent permitted by law. Accordingly, the Executive agrees to cooperate fully in procuring a shareholder vote (including, but not limited to, providing any required
consents or waivers) to approve the Change of Control Payments in satisfaction of the shareholder approval requirements described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.280G-1, Q&A-7, to the extent applicable. If the shareholder approval



-9-



---

required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.280G-1, Q&A-7 cannot be obtained and it is determined that any of the Change of Control Payments received or to be
received by the Executive would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax (the Excise Tax), then the Company will, prior to the
date, on which any amount of the Excise Tax must be paid or withheld, make an additional lump sum payment (the gross up payment) to the Executive. The gross up payment will be sufficient, after giving effect to all federal, state, and
other taxes and charges (including interest and penalties, if any) with respect to the gross up payment, to make the Executive whole for all taxes (including withholding taxes) and any associated interest and penalties, imposed under or as a result
of Section 4999. Determinations under this Section 5(g)(ii) will be made by the Company s independent auditors unless the Executive has reasonable objections to the use of that firm, in which case the determinations will be made by a
comparable firm chosen by the Executive after consultation with the Company (the firm making the determinations to be referred to as the Firm). The determinations of the Firm will be binding upon the Company and the Executive except as
the determinations are established in resolution (including by settlement) of a controversy with the Internal Revenue Service to have been incorrect. All fees and expenses of the Firm will be paid by the Company. If the Internal Revenue Service
asserts a claim that, if successful, would require the Company to make a gross up payment or an additional gross up payment, the Company and the Executive will cooperate fully in resolving the controversy with the Internal Revenue Service. The
Company will make or advance such gross up payments as are necessary to prevent the Executive from having to bear the cost of the payments to the Internal Revenue Service in the course of, or as a result of, the controversy. The Firm will determine
the amount of such gross up payments or advances and will determine after resolution of the controversy whether any advances must be returned by the Executive to the Company. The Company will bear all fees and expenses of the controversy (including
fees and expenses incurred by the Executive with the prior written approval of the Company) and will gross the Executive up for any additional taxes that may be imposed upon the Executive as a result of its payment of such expenses. If all or a
portion of such fees and expenses are initially paid by the Executive with the prior written approval of the Company, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the amount of such fees and expenses within thirty (30) days of receipt from the
Executive of a statement therefor in reasonable detail and evidencing payment thereof by the Executive. Any personal income tax information of the Executive that is required to be provided to the Company by the Executive under this Section 5(g)
shall be treated as confidential information by the Company and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, rule or regulation (or in connection with any proceeding or other communication with the Internal Revenue Service), shall not be
disclosed by the Company to any person, other than the Companys employees, officers, directors and professional advisors, without the Executives prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Companys representatives may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and
all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, all as contemplated by Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(3)(iii).

(a) Payment by the Company of any amounts that may be due the Executive, including any
contribution to the premium cost of the Executives participation in the Companys group medical and dental plans to the extent applicable, in each case under the applicable termination provision of Section 5 shall constitute the
entire obligation of the Company to the Executive. The Executive shall promptly give the Company notice of all facts necessary for the Company to determine the amount and duration of its obligations in connection with any termination pursuant to
Section 5(d), 5(e) or 5(g) hereof.

(b) Except for any right the Executive has to continue participation in the
Companys medical and dental plans pursuant to COBRA or any successor law, benefits shall terminate pursuant to the terms of the applicable benefit plans based on the date of termination of the Executives employment without regard to any
continuation of Base Salary or other payment to the Executive following such date of termination.

(c) Provisions of this
Agreement shall survive any termination if so provided herein or if necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of other surviving provisions, including without limitation the obligations of the Executive under Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof. The
obligation of the Company to make payments to or on behalf of the Executive under Section 5(b), 5(d), 5(e) or 5(g) hereof is expressly conditioned upon the Executives continued full performance of obligations under Sections 7, 8 and 9
hereof. The Executive recognizes that, except as expressly provided in Section 5(b), 5(d), 5(e) or 5(g), no compensation is earned after termination of employment.

7. Confidential Information.

(a) The Executive acknowledges that the Company and its
subsidiaries continually develop Confidential Information and that the Executive may develop Confidential Information for the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries promise to provide the Executive with Confidential
Information to enable the Executive to perform his duties and responsibilities hereunder during the course of his employment. The Executive acknowledges that the disclosure of such Confidential Information would be harmful to the Company and its
subsidiaries, including without limitation if such Confidential Information were made known to any Person or entity engaged in business activities that are in competition with the Company and/or its subsidiaries. The Executive will comply with the
policies and procedures of the Company for protecting Confidential Information and shall not disclose to any Person or use, other than as required by applicable law or for the proper performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company and
its subsidiaries, any Confidential Information obtained by the Executive incident to his employment or other association with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Executive understands that this restriction shall continue to apply after his
employment terminates, regardless of the reason for such termination.

(b) All documents, records, tapes and other media of
every kind and description relating to the business, present or otherwise, of the Company or its subsidiaries and any copies, in whole or in part, thereof (the Documents), whether or not prepared by the Executive, shall be the sole and
exclusive property of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Executive shall safeguard all Documents and shall surrender to the Company at the time his employment terminates, or at such earlier time or times as the Board or its designee may specify,
all Documents then in the Executives possession or control.

8. Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property. The Executive shall promptly and fully disclose
all Intellectual Property to the Company. The Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company (or as otherwise directed by the Company) the Executives full right, title and interest in and to all Intellectual Property. The
Executive agrees to execute any and all applications for domestic and foreign patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights and to do such other acts (including without limitation the execution and delivery of instruments of further assurance or
confirmation) requested by the Company to assign the Intellectual Property to the Company and to permit the Company to enforce any patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights to the Intellectual Property. The Executive will not charge the
Company for time spent in complying with these obligations. All copyrightable works that the Executive creates shall be considered work made for hire.

9. Restricted Activities. The Executive acknowledges the highly competitive nature of the industry in which the Company and its subsidiaries are involved, and agrees that during his employment with the Company,
he will have access to the Confidential Information of the Company and its subsidiaries, will benefit from the Companys goodwill and will obtain a competitive advantage as to the Company, its subsidiaries, customers and prospective customers
and employees. The Company agrees, in consideration of the Executives acceptance of the restrictions set forth below, to grant the Executive access to trade secrets and other Confidential Information of the Company and its Affiliates and to
the Companys valuable business relationships and goodwill. The Executive agrees that some restrictions on his activities during and after his employment therefore are necessary to protect the goodwill, Confidential Information and other
legitimate interests of the Company and its subsidiaries.

(a) While the Executive is employed by the Company and during the
twenty-four (24) months immediately following termination thereof (in the aggregate, the Non-Competition Period), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee,
co-venturer or otherwise, engage in any business that owns or operates, directly or indirectly, any long-term acute care hospital, including without limitation any facility that meets or intends to meet the requirements in 42 C.F.R. §412.23(e)
(or any successor law, rule or regulation relating to long-term acute care hospitals) to qualify as a long-term care hospital (any such hospital or facility, a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital), or undertake any planning for any such
business. Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, the Executive agrees not to engage in any manner in any activity that is directly or indirectly competitive or potentially competitive with the business of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries as conducted at any time during the Executives employment. Restricted activity includes without limitation accepting employment or a consulting position with any Person who is, or at any time within twelve (12) months prior
to termination of the Executives employment has been, an affiliated hospital, a service provider, or a supplier to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. For the purposes of this Section 9, the business of the Company and its
subsidiaries shall include all Services and the Executives undertaking shall encompass all items, products and services that may be used in substitution for Services. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this
Section 9(a) shall not prevent the Executive from accepting employment, following termination of the Executives employment with the Company, with an acute care hospital or acute care hospital company that is not a Long-Term Acute Care
Hospital or a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital company.

(b) The Executive agrees that, during his employment with the Company, he will not
undertake any outside activity, whether or not competitive with the business of the Company or its subsidiaries, that could reasonably give rise to a conflict of interest or otherwise interfere with his duties and obligations to the Company or any
of its subsidiaries.

(c) The Executive further agrees that during the Non-Competition Period, the Executive will not
(i) hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who has served as an executive officer, corporate officer, hospital administrator, chief clinical officer or chief nursing officer of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or any person who has served in any position to whom any of the foregoing persons report (directly or indirectly) or knowingly hire or knowingly attempt to hire any other employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
(ii) assist in such hiring by any Person, (iii) encourage any such employee to terminate his or her relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iv) solicit or encourage any customer or vendor of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries to terminate or diminish its relationship with them, or, in the case of a customer, to conduct with any Person any business or activity which such customer conducts or could conduct with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

10. Notification Requirement. Until ninety (90) days after the conclusion of the Non-Competition Period, the Executive shall
give notice to the Company of each new business activity he plans to undertake that could reasonably be expected to be competitive with the Company or conflict with the Executives obligations under Section 9, at least thirty
(30) days prior to beginning any such activity. Such notice shall state the name and address of the Person for whom such activity is undertaken and the nature of the Executives business relationship(s) and position(s) with such Person.
The Executive shall provide the Company with such other pertinent information concerning such business activity as the Company may reasonably request in order to determine the Executives continued compliance with his obligations under Sections
7, 8 and 9 hereof.

11. Enforcement of Covenants. The Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read and considered all the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon him pursuant to Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof. The Executive agrees that said restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company and its subsidiaries
and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area. The Executive further acknowledges that, were he to breach any of the covenants contained in Section 7, 8 or 9 hereof,
the damage to the Company and its subsidiaries would be irreparable. The Executive therefore agrees that the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against any
breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any of said covenants, without having to post bond. The parties further agree that, in the event that any provision of Section 7, 8 or 9 hereof shall be determined by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent
permitted by law.

12. Conflicting Agreements. The Executive hereby represents and warrants that the execution of
this Agreement and the performance of his obligations hereunder will not breach or be in conflict with any other agreement to which the Executive is a party or is bound and that the Executive is not now subject to any covenants against competition
or similar covenants or any court order or other legal obligation that would affect the performance of his obligations hereunder. The Executive will not disclose to or use on behalf of the Company any proprietary information of a third party without
such partys consent.

13. Certain Expenses. In the event that the Executive brings any Claim against the Company in an action,
suit or other proceeding in law or in equity to enforce a right granted to him under this Agreement, and prevails on any such Claim, resulting in the award of judgment in favor of the Executive on the Claim, the Company, upon demand of the
Executive, shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) of the Executive in pursuing such Claim. In the event the Executive fails to obtain a judgment in his favor on any Claim, all expenses (including reasonable
attorneys fees) of the Executive in pursuing such Claim shall be paid by the Executive. For the purposes of this Section 13, Claim shall refer to any single claim or count in law or in equity.

(1) any stock of the Company is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise; and (2) any amounts are payable under this Agreement due to a termination of employment which is considered to be a separation from

specified employee (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i), as in effect from time to time), then any amounts that constitute deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A and that would (but for this

this Agreement does not qualify for an exemption and is contrary to or fails to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and related treasury regulations, this Agreement shall be construed and administered as necessary to comply with
such requirements to the extent allowed under applicable treasury regulations until this Agreement is appropriately amended to comply with such requirements, to the extent allowed under applicable treasury regulations.
