agreement between the Company or any of its Affiliates and the Participant or,

Affiliate of any employment or consulting agreement to which the Participant is

the Company to pay or cause to be paid the Participant’s base salary or annual
bonus when due or (y) any substantial and sustained diminution in the
Participant’s authority or responsibilities materially inconsistent with the
Participant’s position; provided that either of the events described in clauses
(x) and (y) will constitute Good Reason only if the Company fails to
cure such event within 30 days after receipt from the Participant of written
notice of the event which constitutes Good Reason; provided, further, that “Good
Reason” will cease to exist for an event on the sixtieth (60th) day following
the later of its occurrence or the Participant’s  knowledge thereof, unless the Participant has
given the Company written notice of his or her termination of employment for
Good Reason prior to such date.


 


(e)                                  “Plan” means the Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. 2008
Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended, supplemented or
modified from time to time.


 

















 


(f)                                    “Retirement” means a termination of employment by the
Participant at Participant’s election (i) following the attainment of age

retirement program of the Company or any Affiliate in which the Participant
elects to participate.


 


(g)                                 “Vested Portion” means, at any time, the portion of an Option
which has become vested, as described in Section 3 of this Agreement.


 


2.                                       Grant of Option. The Company
hereby grants to the Participant the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase, on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, the number of Shares set forth on the Notice of Grant of
Stock Option (the “Notice”),
subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan. 
The purchase price of the Shares subject to the Option (the “Option Price”) shall be as set forth on the Notice.  The Option is intended to be a non-qualified
stock option, and as such is not intended to be treated as an option that
complies with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.


 


3.                                       Vesting of the
Option.


 


(a)                                  In General.  Subject to Sections 3(b) and 3(c), the
Option shall vest and become exercisable at such times as are set forth in the
Notice.


 


(b)                                 Change in
Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control,
the Committee, in its discretion, may elect to accelerate the vesting of any or
all unvested Options as of the date of such Change in Control, to the extent
not previously cancelled or forfeited, so that such unvested Options will
become vested and exercisable either upon the earlier of (i) the first
anniversary of the Change in Control or (ii) the termination of the
Participant’s Employment (A) by the Company other than for Cause (unless
such termination is due to death or Disability) or (B) by the Participant
for Good Reason, or on such other terms established by the Committee.


 


(c)                                  Termination of
Employment.  If the
Participant’s Employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates for any
reason (including, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant’s
change in status from an employee to a non-employee (other than director of the
Company or any Affiliate)), the Option, to the extent not then vested, shall be
immediately canceled by the Company without consideration; provided, however,
that if the Participant’s Employment terminates due to death, Disability or
Retirement, the unvested portion of the Option, to the extent not previously
cancelled or forfeited, shall immediately become vested and exercisable.  The Vested Portion of the Option shall remain
exercisable for the period set forth in Section 4(a) of this
Agreement.  If the Participant is absent
from work with the Company or with an Affiliate because of a temporary
disability (any disability other than a Disability), or on an approved leave of
absence for any purpose, the Participant shall not, during the period of any such
absence, be deemed, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated
Employment, except to the extent that the Committee so determines.

4.                                       Exercise of
Option.


 


(a)                                  Period of
Exercise. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this
Agreement, and the terms of any employment agreement entered into by the
Participant and the Company or a Affiliate that provides for treatment of
Options that is more favorable to the Participant than clauses (i) - (vii) of
this Section 4(a), the Participant may exercise all or any part of the
Vested Portion of the Option at any time prior to the Expiration Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Participant’s Employment terminates prior to the Expiration Date, the Vested
Portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for the period set forth
below.  If the last day on which the
Option may be exercised, whether the Expiration Date or due to a termination of
the Optionee’s Employment prior to the Expiration Date, is a Saturday, Sunday
or other day that is not a trading day on the American Stock Exchange (the “AMEX”) or, if the Company’s Shares are not then listed on
AMEX, such other stock exchange or trading system that is the primary exchange
on which the Company’s Shares are then traded, then the last day on which the
Option may be exercised shall be the preceding trading day on AMEX or such
other stock exchange or trading system. If the Shares are not publicly traded,
the next business day (when U.S. government offices and federal courts are open
for business) following a Saturday, Sunday or national holiday shall be the
last day on which the Option may be exercised.


 


(i)                                     Death or
Disability. If the Participant’s Employment with the Company
or any Affiliate terminates due to the Participant’s death or Disability, the

(180) days following the date of such termination and (B) the Expiration
Date;

Participant’s Employment with the Company or any Affiliate terminates due to
the Participant’s Retirement, the Participant may exercise the Vested Portion
of the Option for a period ending on the earlier of (A) ninety (90) days
following the date of such termination and (B) the Expiration Date;
provided, that if the Company or any Affiliate has given the Participant notice
that the Participant’s Employment is being terminated for Cause prior to the
Participant’s election to terminate due to the Participant’s Retirement, then
the provisions of Section 4(a)(v) shall control;


 


(iii)                               Unsatisfactory
Performance; Voluntary Termination without Good Reason.
If the Participant’s Employment with the Company or any Affiliate is terminated
by the Company or the Affiliate (other than after a Change in Control as set
forth in Section 4(a)(vi)) for unsatisfactory performance, but not for
Cause (as determined in its sole discretion by the Company or the Affiliate),
or the Participant voluntarily terminates Employment at any time without Good
Reason, the Participant may exercise the Vested Portion of the Option for
a period ending on the earlier of (A) ninety (90) days following the date
of such termination and (B) the Expiration Date; provided, that if the
Company or any Affiliate has given the Participant notice that the Participant’s
Employment is being terminated for Cause 
prior to the Participant’s election to voluntarily terminate
Employment  without Good Reason, then the
provisions of Section 4(a)(v) shall control;


 


(iv)                              Termination
other than for Cause. Subject to the provision of Section 4(a)(vi),
if the Participant’s Employment with the Company or any Affiliate is 


 


3

















 


terminated by the Company or the Affiliate for any reason other than by
the Company or the Affiliate for Cause, unsatisfactory performance or due to
the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise the
Vested  Portion of the Option for a period
ending on the earlier of (A) one year following the date of such
termination and (B) the Expiration Date;


 


(v)                                 Termination by
the Company for Cause. If the Participant’s Employment with the
Company or any Affiliate is terminated by the Company or the Affiliate for
Cause, the Vested Portion of the Option shall immediately terminate in full and
cease to be exercisable; and


 


(vi)                              After a Change
in Control. If the Participant’s Employment with the Company
or any Affiliate terminates after a Change in Control due to a termination by
the Company other than for Cause or due to the Participant’s resignation for
Good Reason, the Participant may exercise the Vested Portion of the Option for
a period ending on the earlier of (A) one year following the date of such
termination and (B) the Expiration Date.


 


(b)                                 Method of
Exercise.


 


(i)                                     Subject to Section 4(a) of
this Agreement, the Vested Portion of an Option may be exercised by delivering
to the Company at its principal office written notice of intent to so exercise;
provided that the Option may be exercised with respect to whole Shares only.
Such notice shall specify the number of Shares for which the Option is being
exercised, shall be signed (whether or not in electronic form) by the person
exercising the Option and shall make provision for the payment of the Option
Price. Payment of the aggregate Option Price shall be paid to the Company, at
the election of the Committee, pursuant to one or more of the following
methods: (A) in cash, or its equivalent; (B) by transferring Shares
having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares
being purchased to the Company and satisfying such other requirements as may be
imposed by the Committee; provided that such Shares have been held by the Participant
for no less than six (6) months (or such other period as established from
time to time by the Committee or generally accepted accounting principles); (C) partly
in cash and partly in Shares; or (D) if there is a public market for the
Shares at such time, subject to such rules as may be established by the
Committee, through delivery of irrevocable 
instructions to a broker to sell the Shares otherwise deliverable upon
the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount
equal to the aggregate Option Price. No Participant shall have any rights to
dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject
to the Option until the issuance of the Shares.


 


(ii)                                  Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, absent an
available exemption to registration or qualification, the Option may not be
exercised prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the
Option or the Shares under applicable state and federal securities or other
laws, or under any ruling or regulation of any governmental body or national
securities exchange that the Committee shall in its sole reasonable discretion
determine to be necessary or advisable.


 


(iii)                               Upon the
Company’s determination that the Option has been validly exercised as to any of
the Shares, the Company shall issue certificates in the Participant’s name for
such Shares. However, the Company shall not be liable to the Participant for
damages relating to any delays in issuing the certificates to the Participant,
any loss by the Participant of 


 


4

















 


the certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the
certificates or in the certificates themselves.


 


(iv)                              In the event of
the Participant’s death, the Vested Portion of an Option shall remain vested
and exercisable by the Participant’s executor or administrator, or the person
or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under this Agreement shall pass by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution as the case may be, to the
extent set forth in Section 4(a) of this Agreement. Any heir or
legatee of the Participant shall take rights herein granted subject to the
terms and conditions hereof.


 


5.                                       No Right to
Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall be
construed as giving the Participant the right to be retained in the Employment
of the Company or any Affiliate. 
Further, the Company or a Affiliate may at any time dismiss the Participant
or discontinue any other relationship, free from any liability or any claim
under the Plan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein.


 


6.                                       Legend on
Certificates. The certificates representing the Shares purchased
by exercise of an Option shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and
other restrictions as the Committee may deem reasonably advisable under the
Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, AMEX or any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed,
any applicable federal or state laws and the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be
put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
restrictions.


 


7.                                       Transferability. Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, an Option may not be assigned,
alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by
the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge,
attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable
against the Company or any Affiliate.


 


8.                                       Withholding. The
Participant may be required to pay to the Company or an Affiliate and the
Company or the Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to
withhold from any payment due or transfer made under the Option or under the
Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount
(in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property) of any
applicable withholding taxes in respect of the Option, its exercise, or any
payment or transfer under the Option or under the Plan and to take such action
as may be necessary in the option of the Company to satisfy all obligations for
the payment of such taxes.


 


9.                                       Securities Laws. Upon the
acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option, the
Participant will make or enter into such written representations, warranties
and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with
applicable securities laws or with this Agreement.


 


10.                                 Notices. Any notice
under this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Corporate
Secretary at the principal executive office of the Company, with a copy to the
Director, Human Resources, at the principal executive office of the Company,
and to the Participant at the address appearing in the personnel records of the

Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws, and any and all

jurisdiction sitting in Wilmington, Delaware and the Participant and the
Company and any Affiliate hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any
such court and irrevocably agree that venue for any such action shall be only

Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Notice and the
Plan, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties

Notice; provided, that this Agreement and the Notice shall be subject to and
governed by the Plan, and in the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of this Agreement or the Notice and the provisions of the Plan, the

provisions of this Agreement and the Notice may be waived, or consent for the

any other terms or provisions of this Agreement or the Notice, whether or not
similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which it was given, and shall not constitute a
continuing waiver or consent.

If any provision of this Agreement or the Notice (including any provision of
the Plan that is incorporated herein by reference) shall hereafter be held to
be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction
under any circumstances for any reason, (i) such provision shall be
reformed to the minimum extent necessary to cause such provision to be valid,
enforceable and legal while preserving the intent of the parties as expressed
in, and the benefits of the parties provided by, this Agreement, the Notice and
the Plan or (ii) if such provision cannot be so reformed, such provision
shall be severed from this Agreement or the Notice and an equitable adjustment
shall be made to this Agreement or the Notice (including, without limitation,
addition of necessary further provisions) so as to give effect to the intent as
so expressed and the benefits so provided. Such holding shall not affect or
impair the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other
