Re: Employment
Separation Agreement and General Release 

Dear Woody: 

I am writing on behalf of Laboratory
Corporation of America Holdings and/or its subsidiaries (“LabCorp” or the
“Company”) to offer you (the “Employee”) the following Employment
Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”). The terms and conditions of this
Agreement are as follows: 

1.0  Separation Pay 

	  	1.1 	  	
Effective October 31, 2007, the Employee’s employment with the Company will be
terminated. In consideration for the covenants, promises and agreements herein and in
particular the Employee’s covenants not to solicit, not to compete and not to
disclose confidential information, LabCorp will pay the Employee a severance in the total
amount of $1,181,432.00, representing a payment of two times the sum of Employee’s
current base salary of $337,552.00 plus the Employee’s target MIB Bonus of
$253,164.00. LabCorp will remit a payment of $450,000.00, within 30 days following the
effective date of this Agreement, a second payment of $140,716.00 within 10 days after 6
months after the effective date of this and a final payment of $590,716.00 within 30 days
following the one-year anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, subject to,
and net of, any applicable federal, state or municipal deductions. For purposes of this
Agreement, “MIB Bonus” shall mean a payment as defined under the LabCorp
Management Incentive Bonus Plan. LabCorp shall not be responsible for making any payment
under this paragraph if the Employee has not complied in all material respects with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. Employee further understands and agrees that if he
applies for, and accepts, another position with LabCorp during the twenty four (24) months
represented by the Separation Pay, he will repay to LabCorp the pro-rata amount of
Separation Pay representing the number of months he is re-employed. 

	  	1.2 	  	
In addition to the compensation payable under Paragraph 1.1 of the Agreement, the Employee
shall receive an additional payment equal to the pro rated portion of his earned MIB Bonus
payment for Fiscal Year 2007, less applicable taxes and withholdings, and payable
commensurate with payments made by the Company under the LabCorp Management Incentive
Bonus Plan. The Employee shall also receive a payment of $387,600, less any applicable
taxes and withholdings, half payable within 30 days after the one year anniversary of the
execution of this Agreement and half payable within 30 days after the second year
anniversary of the execution of this Agreement. 

2.0  Continuation of
Benefits  

	  	2.1 	  	
Employee, his/her spouse, and his/her other dependent(s) may be eligible to elect
continued health care coverage under the group medical and dental plans sponsored by the
Company, as provided in the applicable provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), which provides generally that
certain employees and their dependents may elect to continue coverage under
employer-sponsored group health plans for a period of at least eighteen (18) months under
certain conditions, including payment by Employee of the “Applicable Premium” as
defined in Section 604 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
29 U.S.C. §§ 1001 et seq. (“ERISA”). In the event the Employee
elects continuation of coverage under COBRA for himself and his spouse and dependents, the
Company will pay the applicable premium for such coverage for the first eighteen (18)
months thereof. 

3.0  Compromise 

	  	3.1 	  	
This Agreement shall never be construed as an admission by LabCorp of any liability,
wrongdoing or responsibility on its part or on the part of any other person or entity
described in Paragraph 4.1 of this Agreement. The Company expressly denies any such
liability, wrongdoing or responsibility.

	  	6.2

This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between, and contains all of the
