WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Vanguard Health Systems, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan,
as amended (the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of
this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in
the Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company
and its shareholders to grant the restricted stock units provided for herein (the “RSUs”)
to the Participant pursuant to the Plan and the terms set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties
agree as follows:

1. Grant of the RSUs. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, an aggregate of
 _____ 

RSUs, subject to adjustment as set forth
in the Plan.

2. Vesting/Form and Timing of Issuance or Transfer.

(a) Subject to the Participant’s continued Employment with the Company, on each of the
first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Date of Grant (each a “Scheduled
Vesting Date”) the RSUs shall vest with respect to a number of Shares equal to 25% of
the RSUs initially granted to the Participant under this Agreement.

(b) If the Participant’s Employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the
RSUs shall, to the extent not then vested, be canceled by the Company without consideration
and no further Shares shall be delivered hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event of a Change in Control the RSUs shall, to the extent not then vested and not
previously canceled, immediately become fully vested (a “Change of Control Vesting
Date”).

 

 

 

(d) On each Scheduled Vesting Date or on the Change of Control Vesting Date (each a
“Vesting Date”), as applicable, the Company shall issue or cause there to be
transferred to the Participant, a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs which became
vested on such date; provided that, upon the issuance or transfer of Shares to the
Participant, in lieu of a fractional Share, the Participant shall receive a cash payment
equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share.

(e) Upon each issuance or transfer of Shares in accordance with Section 2(d) of this
Agreement, a number of RSUs equal to the number of Shares issued or transferred to the
Participant (including fractional shares settled in cash) shall be extinguished.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant’s entitlement to Shares hereunder
upon the occurrence of Vesting Date shall be conditioned upon the Participant’s having
become a party to the Company’s Stockholders Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2004, as
amended (the “Stockholders Agreement”) prior to such Vesting Date.

3. No Right to Continued Employment. The granting of the RSUs evidenced hereby and
this Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the
Employment of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s or its Affiliate’s right
to terminate the Employment of such Participant.

4. No Rights of a Shareholder. The Participant shall not have any rights as a
shareholder of the Company (including any rights to accrual or payment of dividends declared on
Shares) until, and accruing only from and after, the Shares in question have been registered in the
Company’s register of shareholders effective on the applicable Vesting Date.

5. Certificates. Upon transfer of Shares underlying RSUs to the Participant hereunder,
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 him or her, any loss of the certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance
of the certificates themselves. The certificates representing the Shares received by the
Participant in connection with the settlement of any RSUs hereunder shall be subject to the rules,
regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange
upon which such Shares are listed, and any applicable Federal or state laws, and the Committee may
cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect to recognize the Participant’s
ownership through uncertificated book entry.

6. Transferability. The RSUs 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;
provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation,
pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. No such permitted transfer of the RSUs to heirs
or legatees of the Participant shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall
have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance
by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof.

7. Withholding. The Participant may be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate
and the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any payment due or
transfer made under the RSUs 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 RSUs, its settlement or any payment or transfer
under or with respect to the RSUs or the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in
the opinion of the Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes.

agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with applicable securities
laws or with this Agreement.

the other. Any such notice shall be deemed effective upon receipt thereof by the addressee.

10. Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE

option (the “Option”) to purchase, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, all
or any part of an aggregate of
 _____

reflecting the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the Date of Grant. The Option is intended to be a

Section 422 of the Code.

2. Vesting.

(a) Subject to the Participant’s continued Employment with the Company, the Option shall vest
and become exercisable with respect to 331/3% of the Shares initially covered by the Option on each
of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Date of Grant.

At any time, the portion of the Option which has become vested and exercisable as described
above (or pursuant to Section 2(c) below) is hereinafter referred to as the “Vested Portion”.

(b) If the Participant’s Employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Option
shall, to the extent not then vested, be canceled by the Company without consideration and the
Vested Portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for the period set forth in Section 3(a).

 

 

 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a
Change in Control the Option shall, to the extent not then vested and not previously canceled,
immediately become fully vested and exercisable.

3. Exercise of Option.

(a) Period of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the

Committee, partly in such Shares, (iv) if there is a public market for the Shares at such
time, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell Shares obtained
upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount out of the
proceeds of such Sale equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased or
(v) to the extent permitted by the Committee, by “net settlement” in Shares. No Participant
shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares

heir or legatee of the Participant shall take rights herein granted subject to the terms and
conditions hereof.

party thereto) become a party to the Company’s Stockholders Agreement, dated as of November
