(“Effective Date”) between IASIS Healthcare Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and Kirk Gorman (“Director”). 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) desires to continue to retain the services of Director as an independent
member of the Board and to retain his additional services as a member of the Board’s Audit Committee; 
 WHEREAS, Director desires to
continue to serve as an independent member of the Company’s Board and as a member of the Board’s Audit Committee; 
 WHEREAS, the
Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide the Director with an appropriate incentive to encourage him to continue his services as a director of the Company and to improve the growth and

 2. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. 

(a) The Company hereby agrees to grant to Grantee, as more specifically set forth in Section 2(b) below and pursuant to appropriate award
agreements, awards (collectively, the “Award”), of a number of Restricted Stock Units, all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “RSUs”). 

(b) During the Term, the Award will be granted as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	On the date hereof, the Company hereby grants Grantee an award of 11,111 shares of RSUs (it being acknowledged and agreed by the Company and the Grantee that the Fair Market Value (as defined below) on the date hereof
is $13.50) (the “Initial Grant”). 

  

	 	(ii)	On the first anniversary hereof, and subject to the Grantee’s continued service on the Board as of such date, the Company shall grant a number of shares of RSUs equal to (x) $150,000, divided by (y) the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on such date (the “First Anniversary Grant”) 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
the number of RSU’s that Grantee will be granted in any year as determined pursuant to the calculation above is a fractional amount, such fractional amount will be rounded to the nearest whole number for purposes of determining the number of
RSU’s that Grantee will be granted for such year. 
 (c) For purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Market Value” means, as of any
date: 
  

	 	(i)	prior to the existence of a Public Market (as defined in Section 2(d) below) for the Common Stock, the value per share of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of
Directors; or 

  

	 	(ii)	on which a Public Market for the Common Stock exists, (x) the closing price on such day of a share of Common Stock as reported on the principal securities exchange on which shares of Common Stock are then listed or
admitted to trading or (y) if not so reported, the average of the closing bid and ask prices on such day as reported on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System or (z) if not so reported, as furnished by
any member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) selected by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Fair Market Value as of any such date on which the applicable exchange or inter-dealer quotation system
through which trading in the Common Stock regularly occurs is closed shall be the Fair Market Value determined pursuant to the preceding sentence as of the immediately preceding date on which the Common Stock is traded, a bid and ask price is
reported or a trading price is reported by any member of NASD selected by the Board of Directors. In the event that the price of a share of Common Stock shall not be so reported or furnished, the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Board of
Directors in good faith to reflect the fair market value of a share of Common Stock.

 (d) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Public Market” for the Common Stock shall be

inter-dealer quotation systems in the United States (within the meaning of Section 902(n) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”)) or any designated offshore securities market (within the meaning of Rule 902(a) of the
