        1.           PURPOSE  

        

        

        The purpose of the Viemed, Inc. Annual Discretionary Cash Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) as adopted by Viemed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) is
            to attract, motivate and retain executive management, officers and other employees by providing a financial incentive for employment with the Company and its Divisions and Subsidiaries and rewarding them for performance in line with increasing
            the value of the Company and its Divisions and Subsidiaries based on a review of objective standards and subjective elements determined by the Committee (as defined below).

        

        

        2.           DEFINITIONS  

        

        

        “Actual Awarded Amount” means the total annual cash bonus actually awarded to a Participant as calculated and determined by the Committee in writing
            after the end of the applicable Plan Year and paid to a Participant for such Plan Year.

            within the Company or its Divisions and Subsidiaries.  The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine a Participant’s level and percentage on Exhibit A.

                A may be amended by the Committee at any time in writing at its sole discretion for a particular Plan Year.  A Bonus Amount for one Plan Year does not entitle an employee to a Bonus Amount in a subsequent Plan Year without

        (d)          one person (or more than one person acting as a

            has ceased and the Participant is able to resume duties, then at the request of either party such dispute shall be referred to a licensed physician that is reasonably satisfactory to both the Committee and the Participant.  The Participant
            shall submit to such examinations and provide such consent and information as such physician may request, and the determination of such physician as to the Participant’s physical or mental condition shall be binding and conclusive on the
            parties.  The Company shall pay the cost of any such physician and examination.

            voluntarily or involuntarily) during the applicable Plan Year prior to the determination and payment of the Actual Awarded Amount will not be entitled to a Bonus Amount for that Plan Year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Participant who is
            terminated due to the Participant’s death or Disability during a Plan Year shall receive a pro rata portion of any Bonus Amount for the Plan Year that is determined to be payable by the Committee and the Participant (or the Participant’s
            estate) shall be paid at the same time the Actual Awarded Amounts are paid to other Participants for that Plan Year pursuant to Section 7 hereof.  If a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company or one of its Divisions or
            Subsidiaries or any successor thereto, on or after the date of a Change in Control and prior to payment of the Bonus Amount for the Plan Year in which a Change in Control occurs without Cause or the Participant terminates employment on or after
            the date of the Change in Control and prior to the payment of the Bonus Amount for the Plan Year in which a Change in Control occurs for Good Reason, the Participant shall be entitled to a Bonus Amount equal to the pro rata portion of a target
            bonus determined as if all measures for a target Bonus Amount have been achieved, such amount to be paid within 30 days after the Participant’s termination of employment.  If a Participant remains employed by the Company or one of its Divisions
            or Subsidiaries or their successor after a Change in Control through the end of the Plan Year in which the Change in Control occurs, the Participant shall be entitled to receive the greater of:  (a) a target bonus assuming all measures for a
            target Bonus Amount have been achieved for the Plan Year or (b) the maximum Bonus Amount if the measures for the maximum Bonus Amount can be determined and if such measures are achieved for the Plan Year.  In addition, on or after a Change in
            Control, Participants who are employed on the date of a Change in Control shall be entitled to receive any unpaid Bonus Amount that has been determined payable by the Committee for any prior Plan Year to be paid pursuant to Section 7 below.

        5.           BONUS AMOUNTS, CRITERIA AND ANNUAL REVIEWS

        

        

        The Participants and the percentages on Exhibit A for target and maximum
            Bonus Amounts under the Plan will be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion in writing for each Plan Year and expressed on Exhibit A.  Such determination
            shall be made prior to or within 90 days of the beginning of the Plan Year or within 60 days of hire for a newly hired Participant.

        

        

        Exhibit B lists the criteria, the weight to be given to each criterion,
            the minimum and maximum thresholds, if any, and other factors utilized by the Committee in determining whether Participants will be eligible to receive Bonus Amounts that are target and maximum or any amount in-between based on the annual
            performance of the Company as specified in Exhibit B.  The Committee may use any criteria it determines in its sole discretion for a Plan Year for Exhibit B and may include, without limitation, performance of Parent and/or its divisions and/or subsidiaries, Company performance or the performance of any of its
            Divisions or Subsidiaries or the individual Participant’s performance and/or contributions to the Company and/or its Divisions or Subsidiaries.  Cash bonuses are awarded, in large part, when performance meets or exceeds certain objective
            benchmarks, but reserving to the Committee the ability to determine Bonus Amounts based on discretionary, subjective factors as well.  The Committee shall make all determinations as to the criteria of Exhibit B attained for a Plan Year.  The Committee will determine the Actual Awarded Amount for each Participant after taking into consideration the foregoing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee
            shall have the sole discretion to determine the amount of the Actual Awarded Amounts, and its determination shall be final and binding on the Participant’s and all other persons.

        

        

        6.           ACTUAL AWARDED AMOUNTS  

        

        

        While the Company intends to award the Bonus Amounts for a Plan Year as determined by the Committee, the Bonus Amounts payable under this Plan are
            discretionary and no amounts shall be deemed to be awarded until the Committee has determined the Actual Awarded Amount and paid such amount in accordance with this Plan.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein in with respect to a
            Change in Control, no Bonus Amount will be vested and payable pursuant to this Plan until the Committee has determined the Actual Awarded Amounts and actually pays such amounts to Participants.  Furthermore, notwithstanding the achievement of
            the criteria on Exhibit B, except after a Change in Control as provided herein, the Committee may determine in its sole discretion to pay only a portion or pay no
            Bonus Amount for a Plan Year, including, but not limited to, if, in the sole discretion of the Committee, the financial health of the Company and/or Parent or business conditions do not warrant the payment of any Bonus Amounts.

        7.           PAYMENT

        

        

        Actual Awarded Amounts will be paid in a cash lump sum as soon as possible after such awards are determined by the Committee after the end of the Plan
            Year but not later than 2-1/2 months after the end of the applicable Plan Year.

        

        

        8.           MISCELLANEOUS PLAN PROVISIONS  

        

        

        The Plan is a discretionary cash incentive bonus arrangement and is, therefore, not intended to be subject to the reporting requirements of the
            Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the Code for certain employee benefit plans. The Plan is a discretionary plan and does not require annual distributions.

        

        

        The Company reserves the right to amend, revise, modify, revoke or terminate the Plan at any time in its sole discretion, without prior notice to or
            consent of Participants and hereby delegates this authority to the Committee; provided that upon a Change in Control the Plan may not be terminated until 2 1⁄2  months after the end of the Plan Year in which the Change in Control occurs if there
            are awarded Bonus Amounts for such Plan Year without the affected Participant’s written consent.  No contractual right to any benefit or payment described herein is created or is intended to be created by this document or any related action of
            the Board, the Committee, or any officer or employee of the Parent, Company or any of its Divisions or Subsidiaries, and none should be inferred from the descriptions of this Plan.  No officer or other employee of the Company or any of its
            Divisions or Subsidiaries is automatically entitled to an award of any Bonus Amount under the Plan.

        

        

        All payments under this Plan are subject to all applicable federal, state local taxes and withholding requirements, and the Company shall have the
            right to deduct all required withholding for tax purposes from the Actual Awarded Amount for a Participant.

        

        

        The Plan shall be binding on any successor to the Company or Parent.

        

        

        All amounts payable under this Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Company and shall remain subject to the creditors of the Company.  All
            administrative expenses of the Plan will be borne by the Company.  Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the making of Bonus Amounts hereunder shall be deemed to create a trust. No individual shall have any security or other interest in any
            of the assets of the Company, in shares of stock of the Company or otherwise.  The Participant may not transfer, assign or otherwise encumber any of Participant’s rights or Bonus Amount under this Plan.

        

        

        
          6

          
            

        

        Nothing in the adoption of the Plan nor the making of Bonus Amounts hereunder shall confer on any individual the right to continued employment by the
            Company or any of its Divisions or Subsidiaries or affect in any way the right of the Company or its Divisions or Subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment at any time.

        

        

        All provisions of the Plan and all amounts paid or payable hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of Louisiana, and
            the venue for any proceeding or claim related to this Plan shall be held in Lafayette, Louisiana.
