Page 2 of 8

EXHIBIT 10.3

The deferral period shall be no less than four (4) years and five (5) days from the Grant Date.  Such deferral election shall be made within 30 days of the Grant Date.  The deferral of RSUs shall be subject to the NQDC Plan and the applicable deferral election.
(b)    Shares of Stock underlying the RSUs shall be issued and delivered to the Grantee in accordance with paragraph (a) and upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan.  The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Grantee.  The shares of Stock delivered to the Grantee pursuant to this Section 4 shall be free and clear of all liens, fully paid and non-assessable. In no event shall fractional shares of Stock be issued.

(d)    The Grantee may be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any shares of Stock or other property deliverable under the RSU or from any compensation or other amounts owing to the Grantee the amount (in cash, Stock or other property) of any required tax withholding and payroll taxes in respect of an RSU vesting or settlement and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.
(e)    Without limiting the generality of clause (d) above, in the Committee’s sole discretion the Grantee may satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by having the Company withhold from the number of shares of Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the settlement of the RSU a number of shares with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability.
5.    Dividend Equivalents.  If on any date the Company shall pay any cash dividend on shares of Stock of the Company, the number of RSUs credited to the Grantee shall, as of such date, be increased by an amount determined by the following formula:
W = (X multiplied by Y) divided by Z, where:

Page 3 of 8

EXHIBIT 10.3

W = the number of additional RSUs to be credited to the Grantee on such dividend payment date;
X = the aggregate number of RSUs (whether vested or unvested) credited to the Grantee as of the record date of the dividend;
Y = the cash dividend per share amount; and 
Z = the Fair Market Value per share of Stock (as determined under the Plan) on the dividend payment date.
6.    Termination of Employment.
(a)    If, prior to the Settlement Date, the Grantee shall undergo (other than by reason of death or becoming Disabled) a termination of full-time employment (and also termination of Service if a director), (i) the RSUs that are vested at the time of such termination shall be determined in accordance with Section 3, and (ii) the RSUs that are not vested at the date of such termination shall be cancelled on such date.  
(b)    On the date of the Grantee’s death or upon determination by the Committee in its sole discretion that the Grantee has become Disabled (in each case, after the Grant Date and prior to third anniversary of the Grant Date), 100% of the RSUs shall become immediately vested and, regardless of the Grantee’s deferral election, the Company as soon as reasonably practicable shall issue shares of Stock to the Grantee (or the Grantee’s designated beneficiary or estate executor in the event of the Grantee’s death) with respect to the RSUs that have vested hereunder but for which shares of Stock had not yet been issued to the Grantee.  
7.    Company; Grantee.
(a)    The term “Company” as used in this Agreement with reference to employment shall include the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates, as appropriate.
(b)    Whenever the word “Grantee” is used in any provision of this Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to the beneficiaries, the executors, the administrators, or the person or persons to whom the RSUs may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, the word “Grantee” shall be deemed to include such person or persons.
8.    Non-Transferability.  The RSUs granted herein are not transferable by the Grantee other than to a designated beneficiary upon death, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, to a trust solely for the benefit of the Grantee or his/her immediate family or, in the case of the RSUs being held by such a trust, by the trustee.
9.    Forfeiture for Violation of Restrictive Covenants. 
(a)    Non-Compete.  The Grantee agrees that during the term of the Grantee’s employment and for a period of two years thereafter (the “Coverage Period”) the

(b)    Non-Solicit.  The Grantee agrees that during the Coverage Period, the Grantee shall not solicit, attempt to solicit or endeavor to entice away from the Company any person who, at any time during the term of the Grantee’s employment was a healthcare professional (including a healthcare executive) of the Company, or an employee, customer, permanent placement candidate, client or supplier of the Company.
(c)    Confidential and Proprietary Information.  The Grantee agrees that the Grantee will not, at any time make use of or divulge to any other person, firm or corporation any confidential or proprietary information concerning the business or policies of the Company (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, any and all of its divisions, Affiliates or Subsidiaries).  For purposes of this Agreement, any confidential information shall constitute any information designated as confidential or proprietary by the Company or otherwise known by the Grantee to be confidential or proprietary information including, without limitation, customer information.  The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that for purposes of this Agreement, “customer information” includes without limitation, customer lists, all lists of professional personnel, names, addresses, phone numbers, contact persons, preferences, pricing arrangements, requirements and practices.  The Grantee’s obligation under this Section 9(c) shall not apply to any information that (i) is known publicly; (ii) is in the public domain or hereafter enters the public domain without the fault of the Grantee; or (iii) is hereafter disclosed to the Grantee by a third party not under an obligation of confidence to the Company.  The Grantee agrees not to remove from the premises of the Company, except as an employee of the Company in pursuit of the business of the Company or except as specifically permitted in writing by the Company, any document or other object containing or reflecting any such confidential or proprietary information.  The Grantee recognizes that all such information, whether developed by the Grantee or by someone else, will be the sole exclusive property of the Company.  Upon termination of employment, the Grantee shall forthwith deliver to the Company all such confidential or proprietary information, including without limitation all lists of customers, pricing methods, financial structures, correspondence, accounts, records and any other documents, computer disks, computer programs, software, laptops, modems or property made or held by the Grantee or under the Grantee’s control in relation to the business or affairs of the Company, and no copy of any such confidential or proprietary information shall be retained by the Grantee.

11.     Effect of Change in Control.

(b)    The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company.  The Company agrees that it will make appropriate provisions for the preservation of the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement in any agreement or plan that it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger, consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets.
12.    Notice.  Every notice or other communication relating to this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by it in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided, provided that, unless and until some other address be so designated, all notices or communications by the Grantee to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, and all notices or communications by the Company to the Grantee may be given to the Grantee personally or may be mailed to the Grantee at the Grantee’s address as recorded in the records of the Company.

Grantee or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
