CONSULTING AGREEMENT

 

This CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)
is made and entered into as of January 1, 2020 (“Effective Date”), by and between LHC Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“LHC” or the “Company”) and Donald D. Stelly (“Consultant”),
each a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties.”

 

WHEREAS, Consultant previously served as LHC’s
President and Chief Operating Officer pursuant to an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of June 1, 2019 (the “Employment
Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, Consultant resigned from his employment
with LHC pursuant to a Confidential Separation Agreement dated as of December 31, 2019 (the “Separation Agreement”);
and

 

WHEREAS, LHC desires to retain the services
of Consultant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Consultant is willing to serve as such in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises
and covenants contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.        Nature
of Relationship and Services. LHC hereby engages Consultant as an independent contractor to serve as Special Advisor to LHC’s
Chief Executive Officer and provide mutually-agreed upon consulting services on behalf of LHC (collectively, the “Consulting
Services”). Consultant expressly agrees that he is an independent contractor, not an employee or agent of LHC. This Agreement
is non-exclusive and does not constitute a guarantee of hours or amount of work.

 

2.        Term
and Termination.

 

		(a)	Initial Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall begin as of the Effective Date and
shall remain in effect through December 31, 2021 (the “Initial Term”).

 

		(b)	Renewal Option. LHC shall have the option to renew the term of this Agreement for successive
twenty-four month periods (each a “Renewal Term”). LHC may exercise its option by delivering notice to Consultant
at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term. The Initial Term along with any Renewal
Term(s) are referred to herein as the “Term.”

 

		(c)	On or after January 1, 2021, LHC may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Consultant. Consultant may only terminate this Agreement (i) for cause in the event of a breach by LHC
of any material term hereof and the failure of LHC to institute reasonable action to cure such breach within sixty (60) days following
the receipt of written notice of such breach from Consultant or, (ii) if LHC exercises its renewal option described in Section
2(b) above, by written notice to LHC after receipt of notice of such exercise at least 15 days prior to the commencement of the
Renewal Term. Any termination described in Section 2(c)(ii) will be effective on the final day of the then-current Term.

3.        Independent
Contractor. LHC shall file an Internal Revenue Service Form 1099-MISC (or equivalent form for independent contractor payments)
with respect to Consultant that shall report the amount of compensation paid by LHC to Consultant for the Consulting Services rendered
hereunder. Consultant shall be responsible for filing any and all other required state or federal income and self-employment tax
returns and for paying all taxes with respect to such compensation. Consultant understands and agrees that because he is a self-employed
independent contractor, LHC will make no deduction from payments to Consultant for federal or state tax withholdings, social security,
unemployment, workers’ compensation or disability insurance and will make no payments from such items on his behalf. Consultant
further agrees and acknowledges that he shall have no power to enter into any contracts or commitments in the name of, or on behalf
of, LHC, or to bind LHC in any respect whatsoever, and Consultant shall not act in a manner that suggests such authority or capacity
in Consultant.

 

4.       Compensation.
Consultant agrees to provide the Consulting Services described in this Agreement in exchange for payment of fees and charges set
forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (“Consulting Fees”).

 

5.       Expense
Reimbursement. LHC will reimburse Consultant for reasonable business expenses directly related to Consultant’s performance
of the Consulting Services hereunder (including coach travel expenses and mileage reimbursement at the applicable Federal mileage
rate), provided that (a) LHC approves such expenses in advance; and (b) Consultant submits accurate reports and receipts documenting
such expenses. During the Term, LHC will provide, at LHC’s expense and consistent with the Company’s polices for its
executives, Consultant with a cellular telephone and home computer along with reasonable IT/IS support services.

 

6.        Right
to Materials and Return of Materials. All records, files, software, memoranda, reports, customer lists, drawings, plans, sketches,
documents, technical information and the like (together with all copies of such documents and things) relating to the business
of LHC (including without limitation the Company), which Consultant shall use or prepare or come in contact with in the course
of or as a result of its engagement under this Agreement, shall remain the sole property of LHC and shall be returned to LHC upon
the expiration of this Agreement.

 

7.        Restrictions
on Conduct of Consultant.

 

(a)       General.
Consultant and the Company understand and agree that the purpose of the provisions of this Section 7 is to protect legitimate business
interests of the Company, as more fully described below, and is not intended to impair or infringe upon Consultant’s right
to work, earn a living, or acquire and possess property from the fruits of his labor. Consultant hereby acknowledges that Consultant
has received good and valuable consideration for the restrictions set forth in this Section 7 in the form of the compensation and
benefits provided for herein. Consultant hereby further acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7 are reasonable

the Parties acknowledge that: (A) Consultant’s services under this Agreement require unique expertise and talent in the provision
of Competitive Services; (B) pursuant to this Agreement, Consultant will be placed in a position of trust and responsibility and
he will have access to a substantial amount of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets and that the Company is placing him in
such position and giving him access to such information in reliance upon his agreement to abide by the covenants set forth in this
Section 7; (C) due to Consultant’s unique experience and talent, the loss of Consultant’s services to the Company under
this Agreement cannot reasonably or adequately be compensated solely by damages in an action at law; (D) Consultant is capable
of competing with the Company; and (E) Consultant is capable of obtaining gainful, lucrative and desirable employment that does
not violate the restrictions contained in this Agreement.

(c)       Restrictive
Covenants.

 

(i)       Restriction
on Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. Consultant understands and agrees that the Confidential
Information and Trade Secrets constitute valuable assets of the Company and its affiliated entities, and may not be converted to
Consultant’s own use. Accordingly, Consultant hereby agrees that Consultant shall not, directly or indirectly, reveal, divulge,
or disclose to any Person not expressly authorized by the Company any Confidential Information, and Consultant shall not, directly
or indirectly, use or make use of any Confidential Information in connection with any business activity other than that of the
Company. Throughout the Term and at all times after the date that this Agreement terminates for any reason, Consultant shall not
directly or indirectly transmit or disclose any Trade Secret of the Company to any Person, and shall not make use of any such Trade
Secret, directly or indirectly, for himself or for others, without the prior written consent of the Company. The Parties acknowledge
and agree that this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, alter either the Company’s rights or Consultant’s obligations
under any state or federal statutory or common law regarding trade secrets and unfair trade practices.

 

Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, Consultant shall not be restricted from disclosing Confidential Information or any Trade Secret that is required
to be disclosed by law, court order or other legal process; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required
by law, court order or other legal process, Consultant shall provide the Company with prompt notice of such requirement so that
the Company may seek an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure by Consultant.

 

Consultant acknowledges that any and all
Confidential Information is the exclusive property of the Company and agrees to deliver to the Company on the Determination Date,
or at any other time the Company may request in writing, any and all Confidential Information which he may then possess or have
under his control in whatever form same may exist, including, but not by way of limitation, hard copy files, soft copy files, computer
disks, and all copies thereof.

 

    Page 4 of 20

     

    

(ii)       Nonsolicitation
of Protected Employees. Consultant understands and agrees that the relationship between the Company and each of its Protected
Employees constitutes a valuable asset of the Company and may not be converted to Consultant’s own use. Accordingly, Consultant
hereby agrees that during the Restricted Period, Consultant shall not directly or indirectly on Consultant’s own behalf or
as a Principal or Representative of any Person or otherwise solicit or induce any Protected Employee to terminate his employment
relationship with the Company or to enter into employment with any other Person.

 

(iii)       Restriction
on Relationships with Protected Customers. Consultant understands and agrees that the relationship between the Company and
each of its Protected Customers constitutes a valuable asset of the Company and may not be converted to Consultant’s own
use. Accordingly, Consultant hereby agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Consultant shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, on Consultant’s own behalf or as a Principal or Representative of any Person,
solicit, divert, take away or attempt to solicit, divert or take away a Protected Customer located in the Restricted Territory
for the purpose of providing or selling Competitive Services; provided, however, that the prohibition of this covenant shall
not apply to the conduct of general advertising activities.

 

(iv)       Noncompetition
with the Company. In consideration of the compensation and benefits being paid and to be paid by the Company to Consultant
hereunder, Consultant understands and agrees that, during the Restricted Period and within the Restricted Territory, he shall not,
directly or indirectly, carry on or engage in Competitive Services on his own or on behalf of any Person, or any Principal or Representative
of any Person; provided, however, that the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to prohibit the ownership by
Consultant of any securities of the Company or its affiliated entities or not more than five percent (5%) of any class of securities
of any corporation having a class of securities registered pursuant to the Exchange Act. Consultant acknowledges that the Restricted
Territory is reasonable because the Company carries on and engages in Competitive Services throughout the Restricted Territory
and that in the performance of his duties for the Company he is charged with operating on the Company’s behalf throughout
the Restricted Territory.

 

(v)       Ownership
of Work Product. Consultant acknowledges that the Work Product belongs to the Company or its affiliates and Consultant hereby
assigns, and agrees to assign, all of the Work Product to the Company or its affiliates. Any copyrightable work prepared in whole
or in part by Consultant in the course of his work for any of the foregoing entities shall be deemed a “work made for hire”
under the copyright laws, and the Company or such affiliate shall own all rights therein. To the extent that any such copyrightable
work is not a “work made for hire,” Consultant hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company or such affiliate
all right, title, and interest, including without limitation, copyright in and to such copyrightable work. Consultant shall promptly
disclose such Work Product and copyrightable work to the General Counsel of the Company and perform all actions reasonably requested
by the Board (whether during or after the Term) to establish and confirm the Company’s or such affiliate’s ownership
(including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney, and other instruments).

 

(vi)       Third
Party Information. Consultant understands that the Company and its affiliates will receive Third Party Information. During
the Term and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 7(c)(i) above, Consultant will hold Third Party
Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel of the Company or its affiliates
who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company or its affiliates) or use, except in connection
with his work for the Company or its affiliates, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by a member of the Board of
Directors in writing.

 

    Page 5 of 20

     

    

(vii)       Intellectual
Property Protection. Consultant shall not institute or actively participate, directly or indirectly, as an adverse party in,
or otherwise provide material support to, any legal action or administrative proceeding to invalidate or limit the scope of any
intellectual property claim, including any trade secret, trademark copyright or patent claim, owned by Company or obtain a ruling
that any such claim is invalid, unenforceable or not patentable. Consultant's failure to comply with this provision will constitute
a material breach of this Agreement.

 

(d)       Enforcement
of Restrictive Covenants.

 

(i)       Rights
and Remedies Upon Breach. In the event Consultant breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of the
Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall have the right and remedy to enjoin, preliminarily and permanently, Consultant from violating
or threatening to violate the Restrictive Covenants and to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court or
tribunal of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause
irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. Such right and remedy
shall be independent of any others and severally enforceable, and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights
and remedies available to the Company at law or in equity.

 

(ii)       Severability
of Covenants. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and valid in time and scope
and in all other respects. The covenants set forth in this Section 7 shall be considered and construed as separate and independent
covenants. Should any part or provision of any covenant be held invalid, void or unenforceable, such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability
shall not render invalid, void or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement. If any portion of the foregoing
provisions is found to be invalid or unenforceable because its duration, the territory, the definition of activities or the definition
of information covered is considered to be invalid or unreasonable in scope, the invalid or unreasonable term shall be redefined,
or a new enforceable term provided, such that the intent of the Company and Consultant in agreeing to the provisions of this Agreement
will not be impaired and the provision in question shall be enforceable to the fullest extent of the applicable laws.

 

(iii)       Reformation.
The Parties hereunder agree that it is their intention that the Restrictive Covenants be enforced in accordance with their terms
to the maximum extent possible under applicable law. The Parties further agree that, in the event any tribunal of competent jurisdiction
shall find that any provision hereof is not enforceable in accordance with its terms, the tribunal shall reform the Restrictive
Covenants such that they shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permissible at law.

 

8.        Modification.
No waiver or modification of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition or limitation contained herein shall be valid unless
in writing signed by both Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, specifications of services to be rendered by Consultant permitted
pursuant to Section 2 herein shall not constitute a modification of the Agreement.

 

9.        Construction
of the Agreement and Binding Effect. Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto,
the parties expressly agree that all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the laws of
the State of Louisiana.

 

    Page 6 of 20

     

    

10.       HIPAA
Requirements. To the extent this Agreement involves Protected Health Information, as defined in the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations, Consultant shall agree to the obligations set forth in the Business
Associate Agreement set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

11.       Entire
Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement contains the complete understanding concerning the consulting arrangement between the
parties. The obligations and rights set forth in this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their respective legal representatives, executors, heirs, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that
Consultant shall have no right to delegate Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

12.        Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.
