 REVERSE OF NOTE 

This Note is one of the Notes of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class D(2009-1) DiscoverSeries Notes
(herein called the “Class D(2009-1) Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of July 26, 2007 (such Indenture, as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time,
is herein called the “Indenture”), as supplemented by an Indenture Supplement dated as of July 26, 2007 (such Indenture Supplement, as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from
time to time, is herein called the “Indenture Supplement”), between the Issuer and Indenture Trustee, to which Indenture and Indenture Supplement reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations
thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class D(2009-1) Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document. All terms used in this Class D(2009-1) Note that are
defined in the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document. 

The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes of the DiscoverSeries and other tranches of Class D Notes of the
DiscoverSeries, if any, will also be issued under the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement. 
 The Class D(2009-1) Notes are
and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement. 

The Class D(2009-1) Notes are subordinated in right of payment of principal to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the
Class C Notes and provide loss protection to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes of the DiscoverSeries, to the extent set forth in the Indenture Supplement. The Class D(2009-1) Notes will not bear interest. Principal
Amounts allocable to the Class D(2009-1) Notes may be applied to pay the Class A Interest Allocation , Class B Interest Allocation and Class C Interest Allocation or the Series Servicing Fees of the DiscoverSeries, to the extent set forth in
the Indenture Supplement. 
 Principal of the Class D(2009-1) Notes will be payable on any Distribution Date which is an
Expected Maturity Date for any Tranche of any Class A Notes, Class B Notes or Class C Notes of DiscoverSeries (“Expected Principal Payment Date”). For each Expected Principal Payment Date, the amount of principal due with
respect to the Class D(2009-1) Notes shall be an amount, if positive, equal to the amount derived from the formula provided in Section 2.02 of the Terms Document. 

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class D(2009-1) Note shall be due and payable on the Legal Maturity Date,
or, if such date is extended pursuant to Section 2.08 of the Terms Document, the Legal Maturity Date as so extended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Class D(2009-1) Notes shall be due and payable on the
date on which an Event of Default relating to the Class D(2009-1) Notes shall have occurred and be continuing and, except in the event of an insolvency related default, the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Holders of the applicable Series, Class or
Tranche of Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes have declared the Class D(2009-1) Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 702 of the Indenture; provided, however,
such acceleration of the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes may be rescinded by the Majority Holders of such applicable Series, Class or Tranche of Notes. 

 

 6 

 On any day occurring on or after the date on which the aggregate Nominal Liquidation Amount
of any Tranche of Notes is reduced to less than 5% of its highest Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem such Tranche of Notes in whole but not in part, pursuant
to Section 1202 of the Indenture. The redemption price will be an amount equal to the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Tranche, plus accrued, unpaid and additional interest or principal accreted and unpaid on such Tranche to
but excluding the date of redemption. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Beneficiary, on behalf of the
Note Issuance Trust, may from time to time issue, or direct the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Note Issuance Trust, to issue, one or more Series, Classes or Tranches of Notes. 

On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Holder of Class D(2009-1) Notes of record on the related Record Date
(except for the final distribution with respect to these Class D(2009-1) Notes) the pro rata share for such Holder of Class D(2009-1) Notes of the amounts held by the Paying Agent that are allocated and available on such Payment Date to pay
principal on the Class D Notes. 
 Payments of principal made on any Payment Date, if any, to the extent not in full
payment of this Class D(2009-1) Note, shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Class D(2009-1) Note on the Note Register as of the close of business on each
Record Date. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class D(2009-1) Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class D(2009-1) Note and of any
Class D(2009-1) Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then
remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class D(2009-1) Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding
such Payment Date by notice mailed within five days of such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Class D(2009-1) Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust
Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in the City of New York. On any payment of principal being made, details of such payment shall be entered by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Issuer in Schedule A hereto. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and as set
forth in the first legend on the face hereof, the transfer of this Class D(2009-1) Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Class D(2009-1) Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer
pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature
guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located, or having a correspondent located, in the City of New York or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located, or a member firm of a national securities exchange, and such other
documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Class D(2009-1) Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge
will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class D(2009-1) Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such
registration of transfer or exchange. 
  

 7

acceptance of a Class D(2009-1) Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class D(2009-1) Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that it will not at any time institute against the Issuer,
any Master Trust or any special purpose entity that acts as a depositor with respect to any Master Trust or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Issuer, any Master Trust or any special purpose entity that acts as a depositor with
respect to any Master Trust or the Issuer of, any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating
to the Notes, the Indenture, any Derivative Agreement, any Supplemental Credit Enhancement Agreement and any Supplemental Liquidity Agreement. 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Class D(2009-1) Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent
of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Class D(2009-1) Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
whether or not this Class D(2009-1) Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the
rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing not less than
66 2/3% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount
of each adversely affected Series, Class or Tranche of Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders
of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Class D(2009-1) Note shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class D(2009-1) Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Class D(2009-1) Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

 The term “Issuer” as used in this Class D(2009-1) Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the
Indenture. 
  

 8 

 The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or
consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture. 
 The Class D(2009-1)
Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth. 

THIS CLASS D(2009-1) NOTE AND THE INDENTURE WILL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class D(2009-1) Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of this Class D(2009-1) Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. 

No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer on the Notes or under the Indenture or
any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or any successor or assign of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly
agreed (it being understood that the Owner Trustee has no such obligations in its individual capacity). The Holder of this Class D(2009-1) Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Indenture and the Indenture
Supplement in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken
to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class D(2009-1) Note.

 Exhibit 10.1 

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This Executive Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of June 9, 2010, by and
between
 M. Bryan Gibson (“Executive”), an individual, and Rural/Metro Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). 

The Company desires to employ Executive on a full-time basis and the Executive desires to be so employed, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Executive agree as follows: 
 1. Employment; Duties and
Responsibilities. The Company will employ Executive as its Executive Vice President (“EVP”) and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), reporting to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
(“CEO”), and Executive accepts employment to serve in such capacity, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Executive shall have such duties and responsibilities as are consistent with Executive’s
position as EVP and COO, as determined by the CEO.. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change or modify Executive’s position, title and duties during the term of this Agreement, subject to Executive’s rights under
Section 9(c). 
 2. Term. Executive will commence his employment as EVP and COO of the Company under
the terms of this Agreement starting on July 1, 2010 (the “Commencement Date”). Executive will be employed under this Agreement until June 30, 2013 (the “Initial Term”), unless Executive’s employment
is terminated earlier pursuant to Section 8. Thereafter, the Agreement will automatically renew for additional periods of one year (“Renewal Term(s)”), unless on or before March 31, 2013 (or March 31 of any
Renewal Term), either Executive or the Company notifies the other in writing that it wishes to terminate employment under this Agreement at the end of the term then in effect; provided, however, that for purposes of
Section 9 of this Agreement, the Company’s decision to provide notice of non-renewal shall be treated as a termination without “Cause” (as defined below) pursuant to Section 8(d) herein. The Initial
Term and any Renewal Terms shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Term.” 
 3. Sign-on
Bonus. Executive will receive a one-time sign-on bonus in the amount of $100,000, payable in a lump sum upon the Company’s first payroll date following the Commencement Date (provided that Executive has not given notice of termination
of employment or received notice of termination for Cause (as defined in Executive’s current employment agreement) prior to the Commencement Date). 

4. Location. The location of Executive’s principal place of employment shall be in the Company’s principal
executive offices in Scottsdale, Arizona; provided, however, that Executive shall travel and perform services outside of this area as reasonably required for the proper performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement. Executive hereby
agrees that he will relocate with his family from his current residence to the Scottsdale, Arizona metropolitan area no later than September 30, 2010. 

 5. Base Salary. The Company will pay Executive a base salary (“Base
Salary”) at the annual rate of $425,000 per year. The Base Salary will be payable in accordance with the payroll practices of the Company in effect from time to time, but no less than monthly. Executive’s Base Salary will be reviewed
at least annually in accordance with the Company’s executive compensation review policies and practices. 
 6.
Incentive Compensation. 
 (a) Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to earn annual incentive
compensation based on the achievement of certain goals and performance criteria established by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), pursuant to the Company’s Management Incentive Plan as in effect from time to
time or any successor incentive compensation program maintained by the Company from time to time (the “MIP”). The Company agrees that Executive’s target bonus under the MIP for fiscal 2011 will be 70% of the Base Salary, with a
maximum payout of 90%. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive acknowledges the discretionary nature of the MIP. 

(b) Equity Incentive. 

(1) Initial Grant. Subject to Board approval as required pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Company’s 2008 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”), Executive will receive an equity grant in the annual cycle of key employee grants scheduled to be made in September 2010. The equity grant, which shall be made pursuant to and
governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan, shall have an aggregate target value equal to $275,000, which grant value shall be equally divided between Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”).
The number of RSUs and SARs shall be determined according to the Company’s customary practice for valuing equity grants. 

(2) Subsequent Participation. The target annual value of subsequent grants is currently expected to be
$275,000; but the awarding of future grants, their values, and their vesting conditions are subject to Board approval. 
 7.
Executive Benefits. 
 (a) Fringe Benefits; Vacation. The Company will provide Executive with such
fringe benefits and other executive benefits on the same terms and conditions as generally applicable to senior management from time to time (e.g., health and long-term disability insurance, etc.); provided, however, that nothing herein shall
preclude the Company from amending or terminating any employee or general executive benefit plans or programs in a manner generally applicable to all of the Company’s senior executives. Executive is entitled to paid vacation during each
calendar year, with the amount and scheduling of such vacation to continue to be determined in accordance with the Company’s vacation policies as in effect from time to time. If Executive does not take the full vacation available in any year,
the unused vacation may not be carried over to the next calendar year, and Executive will not be compensated for it. 
  

 2 

 (b) Reimbursement of Expenses. Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement
for reasonable business expenses incurred in the performance of his duties hereunder and in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies as they exist from time to time or as otherwise approved by the Board. 

(c) Relocation Benefits. Executive will be entitled to relocation benefits in accordance with “Level One” as set
forth in the Company’s relocation policy (the “Relocation Policy”); provided, however, notwithstanding the Relocation Policy, the Company will provide Executive, or reimburse Executive for expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with, as the case may be, (i) packing, shipping, temporary storage and transportations of household goods, (ii) shipping of personal vehicles, (iii) one-way airfare for Executive, his spouse and children to Scottsdale, AZ,
(iv) temporary housing from July 1 through August 31, 2010, (v) airfare and lodging for two house-hunting trips for Executive, his spouse and children, and (vi) an additional payment equal to one month’s Base Salary to
defray incidental expenses incurred. Other exceptions to the Relocation Policy will be reviewed by the Compensation Committee of the Board. In addition, the Company shall provide a guaranteed buyout program for Executive’s residence through
Cartus Relocation Services by entering into the Relocation Management Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

8. Termination. Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate: 

(a) Resignation by Executive without Good Reason. Upon the date that is 30 days after Executive gives written notice
to the Company stating that Executive is resigning from his employment with the Company for any reason other than “Good Reason” (as defined below) unless such notice period is waived by the Company in whole or in part (in which case
such termination shall be effective as of the date of such waiver); 
 (b) Resignation by Executive with Good
Reason. Upon the effective date (if any) of Executive’s resignation for “Good Reason” as determined pursuant to Section 8(g)(3); 

(c) Termination by the Company for Cause. Immediately upon written notice by the Company to Executive for Cause;

 (d) Termination by the Company without Cause. Upon the date that is 10 days after the Company gives
written notice to Executive stating that Executive’s employment is being terminated without Cause; 
 (e)
Death. Immediately upon the death of Executive; or 
 (f) Disability. Upon the date that is
10 days after the Company gives written notice to Executive stating that Executive’s employment is being terminated on account of Executive’s “Disability” (as defined below). 

 

 3 

 (g) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement: 

(1) “Affiliate” means any subsidiary or parent of the Company that is: (i) a member of a
“controlled group of corporations” (within the meaning of Section 414(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) as modified by Section 415(h) of the Code) that includes the Company as a member
of the group; and (ii) a member of a group of trades or businesses under common control (within the meaning of Section 414(c) of the Code as modified by Section 415(h) of the Code) that includes the Company as a member of the group.
In applying Section 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) of the Code for purposes of determining the members of a controlled group of corporations under Section 414(b) of the Code, the language “at least 50 percent” shall be used
instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Section 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) and in applying Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(c)-2 for purposes of determining the members of a group of trades or businesses
(whether or not incorporated) that are under common control for purposes of Section 414(c) of the Code, the language “at least 50 percent” shall be used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.414(c)-2. 
 (2) “Cause” will exist if the Company determines that
Executive (i) willfully or through gross negligence acted or failed to act in a manner that materially damages the Company, any Affiliate, its stockholders or the Company’s or any Affiliate’s financial condition or reputation or
involves fraud; (ii) materially violated the Company’s published policies or codes, including but not limited to the Company’s ethics policies and codes as in effect from time to time if such violation has not been cured within 15
days after notice by the Company reasonably identifying such failure or breach; provided that no notice and cure opportunity need be provided if Executive had knowledge of the policy or code at the time of the violation and the violation is not
reasonably curable as determined by the Board; (iii) impeded, interfered, or failed to reasonably cooperate with an investigation authorized by the Board or willfully failed to follow a legal and proper Board directive; (iv) misrepresented
or concealed a material fact for purposes of securing employment with the Company or this Agreement; (v) abused alcohol and/or drugs in a manner that materially impacts his ability to successfully perform his duties under this Agreement; or
(vi) willfully failed to perform duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise breached Executive’s duties or obligations under this Agreement, if such failure or breach has not been cured within 15 days after notice by the
Company reasonably identifying such failure or breach; provided that no notice and cure opportunity need be provided if the failure or breach relates to any matter included in subparts (i), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this
Section 8(g)(2) or is otherwise not reasonably curable as determined by the Board. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8(g)(2) to the contrary, the failure of the Company or any Affiliate to achieve budgeted or projected
financial or similar performance objectives shall not, in and of itself, be considered a breach of any obligation under this Agreement or to otherwise constitute “Cause” as defined herein. 

(3) “Good Reason” means (i) any material diminution of Executive’s position, authority and
duties under this Agreement; (ii) Executive is required to relocate to an employment location that is more than 50 miles from Executive’s current employment location (which the parties agree is the Company’s present Scottsdale
headquarters); (iii) Executive’s Base Salary rate is reduced to a level that is less than the rate paid to Executive during the immediately prior calendar year, unless Executive has agreed to said reduction or unless the Company makes an
across-the-board reduction that applies to all executives; or (iv) the Company materially breaches any of its obligations 

 

 4 

 
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above provisions, a condition shall not be considered “Good Reason” unless (i) Executive gives the Company written notice of such
condition within 30 days after the material facts regarding such condition become known to Executive; (ii) the Company fails to cure such condition within 20 days after receiving Executive’s written notice; and (iii) Executive
terminates his employment within 20 days after the expiration of the Company’s cure period. 
 (4)
“Disability” shall be deemed to exist if Executive is unable, despite reasonable accommodation, to perform the essential functions of his current position due to physical or mental illness, injury or other medical condition for a
period of not less than six (6) full months in any 12-month period. 
 (5) “Separation from
Service” means, either (a) termination of Executive’s employment with Company and all Affiliates, or (b) a permanent reduction in the level of bona fide services Executive provides to Company and all Affiliates to an amount
that is 20% or less of the average level of bona fide services Executive provided to Company in the immediately preceding 36 months, with the level of bona fide service calculated in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.409A-1(h)(1)(ii). Solely for purposes of determining whether Executive has a “Separation from Service,” Executive’s employment relationship is treated as continuing while Executive is on military leave, sick leave, or
other bona fide leave of absence (if the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as Executive’s right to reemployment with Company or an Affiliate is provided either by statute or contract). If Executive’s
period of leave exceeds six months and Executive’s right to reemployment is not provided either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first day immediately following the expiration of such
six-month period. Whether a termination of employment has occurred will be determined based on all of the facts and circumstances and in accordance with regulations issued by the United States Treasury Department pursuant to Section 409A of the
Code. 
 (h) Leave of Absence. At the Company’s sole discretion, Executive may be placed on a paid administrative
leave of absence for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 30 days unless otherwise reasonably required to resolve matters under investigation) should the Board believe it necessary for any reason, including, but not limited to confirm that
reasonable grounds exist for a termination for Cause, for example, pending the outcome of any internal or other investigation or any criminal charges. During this leave, the Company may bar Executive’s access to the Company’s or any
Affiliate’s offices or facilities or may provide Executive with access subject to terms and conditions as the Company chooses to impose. The Company’s decision to place Executive on a paid leave of absence shall not constitute grounds for
Executive to terminate his employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 8(b) and receive any severance pursuant to Section 9(c). 

9. Compensation in the Event of Termination. 

(a) Cause or Resignation without Good Reason. If Executive’s employment terminates under Section 8(a) or
8(c), Executive shall receive (i) payment of any earned but unpaid Base Salary earned up to and including the date of termination; and (ii) reimbursement of any unreimbursed business expenses incurred up to and including the date of
termination (together, the “Accrued Obligations”). 
  

 5 

 (b) Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment terminates under
Section 8(e) or 8(f), Executive, or Executive’s surviving spouse, if applicable, shall receive the Accrued Obligations and any vested benefits that Executive, or Executive’s estate, may be entitled to receive under any Company
disability or insurance plan or other applicable employee benefit plan. 
 (c) Without Cause or for Good Reason.
If Executive’s employment terminates under Section 8(b) or 8(d), Executive shall receive (subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 9(d) and
Section 19): (i) the Accrued Obligations; (ii) the continuation of Executive’s then Base Salary for 24 months, less lawfully required withholdings, paid in accordance with the Company’s generally-applicable payroll
practices; (iii) payment of any incentive compensation or bonus pursuant to the MIP (less lawfully required withholdings, and payable at the time payments are made to MIP participants generally), which was earned in or payable with respect to
performance during the plan year immediately prior to the plan year in which the termination occurs and which has not been paid as of the date of termination (so long as Executive (x) was employed through the final day of the plan year in which
the incentive compensation or bonus was earned; and (y) had not given notice of termination without Good Reason or received notice of termination for Cause, in either case prior to the final day of the plan year); and (iv) a portion of the
Executive’s COBRA coverage premiums for 24 months (or such shorter time if such coverage terminates under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code), provided that Executive shall continue to pay the same amount toward the cost of such
premiums as paid immediately prior to the last day of Executive’s active employment and shall comply with applicable election and eligibility requirements. 

(d) Release Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no payment shall be made or benefit furnished under
Section 9(c) unless Executive executes (and does not revoke) a legal release (“Release Agreement”), in the form and substance reasonably requested by the Company, in which Executive releases the Company, Affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, agents and others affiliated with the Company from any and all claims arising through the date of the Release Agreement, including claims relating to Executive’s employment with the Company and the termination of
Executive’s employment; provided, however, that Executive will not be required to release any claim under the Indemnity Agreement entered into between Executive and the Company. The Release Agreement must be executed and
returned to the Company within the 21 or 45 day (as applicable) period described in the Release Agreement and it must not be revoked by Executive within the seven-day revocation period described in the Release Agreement. 

(e) Compliance with Code Section 409A. Any payment under this Section 9 shall be subject to the provisions of
this Section 9(e) (except for a payment pursuant to death under Section 9(b)). If Executive is a “Specified Employee” of the Company for purposes of Code Section 409A at the time of a payment event set forth in Sections
8(b), (d) or (f) and if no exception from Code Section 409A applies in whole or in part, then the severance or other payments pursuant to this Section 9 (or the portion of such payments with respect to which no exemption from
Code Section 409A applies) shall be made to Executive by the Company on the 
  

 6 

 
first day of the seventh month following the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service (the “409A Payment Date”), should this Section 9(e) result in a delay of payments
to Executive, the Company shall begin to make such payments as described in this Section 9, provided that any amounts that would have been payable earlier but for the application of this Section 9, shall be paid in lump-sum on the 409A
Payment Date along with accrued interest at the rate of interest announced by the Company’s primary bank from time to time as its prime rate from the date that payments to you should have been made under this Agreement. The balance of such
severance payments shall be payable in accordance with regular payroll timing in effect on the date of Executive’s Separation from Service and the COBRA premiums shall be paid monthly. For purposes of this provision, the term Specified Employee
shall have the meaning set forth in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), or any successor provision and the treasury regulations and rulings issued hereunder. 

10. Confidentiality; Non-Disclosure; Ownership of Work. 

(a) Confidentiality; Non-Disclosure. During the course of Executive’s employment, Executive will become exposed to a
substantial amount of confidential and proprietary information of the Company and/or Affiliates, including, but not limited to, financial information, annual reports, audited and unaudited financial reports, operational budgets and strategies,
methods of operation, customer lists, strategic plans, business plans, marketing plans and strategies, new business strategies, merger and acquisition strategies, management systems programs, computer systems, personnel and compensation information
and payroll data, and other such reports, documents or information of the Company and/or Affiliates (collectively the “Confidential and Proprietary Information”). Due to Executive’s senior position with the Company and its
Affiliates, Executive acknowledges that Executive regularly receives Confidential and Proprietary Information with respect to the Company and/or its Affiliates; for the avoidance of doubt, all such information is expressly included in the defined
term “Confidential and Proprietary Information.” In the event Executive’s employment is terminated by either party for any reason, Executive promises that Executive will not, retain, take with Executive or make any copies of such
Confidential and Proprietary Information in any form, format, or manner whatsoever (including paper, digital or other storage in any form) nor will Executive disclose the same in whole or in part to any person or entity, in any manner either
directly or indirectly. Excluded from this Agreement is information that (i) is or becomes publicly known through no violation of this Agreement, (ii) is lawfully received by the Executive from any third party without restriction on
disclosure or use, (iii) is required to be disclosed by law, or (iv) is expressly approved in writing by the Company for release or other use by the Executive. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. 
 (b) Ownership of Work, Materials and Documents. All records, reports, notes, compilations, software,
programs, designs and/or other recorded or created matters, copies thereof or reproductions, in whatever media form and whether stored on devices owned by the Company or owned by Executive, relating to the Company’s and its Affiliates’
trade secrets, operations, activities, or business, made or received by Executive during any past, present or future employment with the Company and its Affiliates are and shall be works made for hire and are, or shall become the exclusive property
of the Company. Immediately upon the Company’s request at any time during or following the term of this Agreement, Executive shall return to the Company any and all Confidential and Proprietary Information and any other property of the Company
or any Affiliate then within Executive’s possession, custody and/or control. Failure to return this property, whether during the term of this Agreement or after its termination, shall be a breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this
paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  

 7 

 11. Covenant-Not-To-Compete. 

(a) Interests to be Protected. The parties acknowledge that during the term of Executive’s employment, Executive will
perform essential services for the Company and its Affiliates, employees and shareholders, and for municipalities and other persons or entities with which the Company or one or more of its Affiliates contracts or to or through which the Company or
one or more of its Affiliates provides services (collectively, “clients”) of the Company. For purposes of this Section 11, reference to the Company shall include reference to the Company and its Affiliates. Therefore, Executive will
be given an opportunity to meet, work with and develop close working relationships with the Company’s clients on a first-hand basis, and Executive will gain valuable insight as to the clients’ operations, personnel and need for services.
In addition, Executive will be exposed to, have access to, and be required to work with, a considerable amount of the Confidential and Proprietary Information. The parties also expressly recognize and acknowledge that the personnel of the Company
have been trained by, and are valuable to the Company, and that if the Company must hire new personnel or retrain existing personnel to fill vacancies it will incur substantial expense in recruiting and training such personnel. The parties expressly
recognize that should Executive compete with the Company in any manner whatsoever, it could seriously impair the goodwill and diminish the value of the Company’s business. The parties acknowledge that these covenants set forth throughout this
Section 11 have an extended duration; however, they agree that these covenants are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company. For these and other reasons, and the fact that there are
many other employment opportunities available to Executive if Executive’s employment with the Company should terminate (including opportunities in industries or lines of business in which the Company does not participate), the parties are in
full and complete agreement that the following restrictive covenants (which together are referred to as the “Covenant-Not-To-Compete”) are fair and reasonable and are freely, voluntarily and knowingly entered into. Further, each
party has been given the opportunity to consult with legal counsel before entering into this Agreement. 
 (b) Devotion to
Employment. Executive shall devote substantially all Executive’s business time and efforts to the performance of Executive’s duties on behalf of the Company. During Executive’s term of employment, Executive shall not at any
time or place or to any extent whatsoever, either directly or indirectly, without the express written consent of the Company, engage in any outside employment, or in any activity competitive with or adverse to the Company’s business, practice
or affairs, whether alone or as partner, manager, officer, director, employee, shareholder of any corporation or as a trustee, fiduciary, consultant or other representative. This is not intended to prohibit Executive from engaging in nonprofessional
activities such as personal investments or conducting to a reasonable extent private business affairs which may include other boards of directors’ activity, as long as they do not conflict with the Company and, in the case of positions on
boards of directors or similar bodies, receive the prior written approval of the Board. Participation to a reasonable extent in civic, social or community activities is encouraged. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any non-Company
activities shall be conducted in compliance with the Company’s corporate governance policies and other policies and procedures as in effect from time to time. 

 

 8 

 (c) Non-Solicitation of Clients. During the term of Executive’s
employment with the Company and for a period, after the termination of employment with the Company, equal to two years (the “Non-Compete Period”), regardless of who initiates the termination and for whatever reason, Executive shall
not directly or indirectly, for Executive, or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person(s), company, partnership, corporation, or governmental entity, in any manner whatsoever, call upon, contact, encourage, handle, accept or solicit
client(s) or prospective clients of the Company with whom (i) Executive worked as an employee of the Company at any time prior to termination, or at the time of termination; or (ii) about whom Executive possessed or had access to
Confidential and Proprietary Information at any time prior to termination, or at the time of termination, for the purpose of soliciting, providing or selling such client(s) or prospective client(s) services that are the same, similar, or related to
the services that the Company provides, or has prepared or offered to provide, to such client(s) or prospective client(s). 

(d) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the term of Executive’s employment with the Company and for the Non-Compete
Period, regardless of who initiates the termination and for any reason, Executive shall not knowingly, directly or indirectly, for Executive, or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person(s), company, partnership, corporation, or
governmental entity, seek to hire any Company employees for the purpose of having such employee engage in services that are the same, similar or related to the services that such employee provided for the Company. For the purposes of this
Section 11(d), “Company employee” shall mean any individual who (i) is employed by or who works as a contractor for the Company at any time during the 12-month period preceding the termination of this Agreement, or
(ii) is employed by or who works as a contractor for the Company at any time during the Non-Compete Period. 
 (e)
Competing Business. During the term of this Agreement and for the Non-Compete Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for Executive, or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person(s), company, partnership,
corporation, or governmental entity, in any manner whatsoever, engage in the same or similar business as the Company, which would be in competition with any Company line of business of the Company, in any geographical service area where the Company
is engaged in business, or was considering engaging in business at any time prior to the termination or at the time of the termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or any other aspect of this Covenant-not-to-Compete, Executive
further specifically acknowledges and agrees that the limitations set forth in this Section 11(e) expressly preclude competitive activity of any nature in any geographical service area by Executive for or on behalf of American Medical
Response (AMR) or any of AMR’s, Affiliates, successors or assigns. If the geographical service areas described above in this Section 11(e) should be found by a court to be unreasonable in scope, then the geographical service areas
applicable herein shall be the geographical service areas in which Executive performed Executive’s duties pursuant to this Agreement. For the purposes of this provision, the term “competition” shall mean directly or indirectly
engaging in or having a substantial interest in a business or operation which is, or will be, performing the same or similar services as those provided by the Company. 
  

 9 

 (f) Extension of Period. Executive agrees that the Non-Compete Period referred
to in Sections 11(c), (d) and (e) shall be extended for a period of time equal to the duration of any breach thereof by Executive. 

(g) Judicial Amendment. If the scope of any provision of Sections 10 or 11 of this Agreement is found by a court to
be too broad to permit enforcement to its full extent, then such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. The parties agree that the scope of any provision of this Agreement may be modified by a judge in any proceeding to
enforce Sections 10 or 11 of this Agreement, so that such provision can be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it shall not affect the
validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 
 (h) Injunctive Relief, Damages and Forfeiture. Due to
the nature of Executive’s position with the Company, and with full realization that a violation of Sections 10 and 11 will cause immediate and irreparable injury and damage, which is not readily measurable, and to protect the
Company’s interests, Executive understands and agrees that in addition to instituting arbitration proceedings to recover damages resulting from a breach of this Agreement, the Company may seek to enforce this Agreement with a court action for
injunctive relief in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in Maricopa County, Arizona, to cease or prevent any actual or threatened violation of this Agreement on the part of Executive. In any action brought pursuant to this
Section 11(h), the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees and costs. 
 (i)
Survival. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 12.
Cooperation; No Disparagement. During the Non-Compete Period, Executive agrees to provide reasonable assistance to the Company (including assistance with litigation matters), upon the Company’s request, concerning the
Executive’s previous employment responsibilities and functions with the Company. Additionally, at all times after the Executive’s employment with the Company has terminated, Company and Executive agree to refrain from making any
disparaging or derogatory remarks, statements and/or publications regarding the other, its employees or its services. In consideration for such cooperation, but only if the Executive is not receiving severance pursuant to Section 9, Company
shall compensate Executive for the time Executive spends on such cooperative efforts (at an hourly rate based on Executive’s Base Salary during the year preceding the date of termination) and, whether or not Executive is receiving severance,
Company shall reimburse Executive for his reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cooperative efforts. 

13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any applicable
law, then such provision will be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, and if no such modification will make the provision legal, valid and enforceable, then this Agreement will be construed as if
not containing the provision held to be invalid, and the rights and obligations of the parties will be construed and enforced accordingly. 
  

 10 

 14. Assignment by Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the
Company from consolidating or merging into or with, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation or entity that assumes this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings hereunder. Upon such consolidation, merger
or transfer of assets and assumption, the term “Company” as used herein shall mean such other corporation or entity, as appropriate, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 

15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any agreements concerning equity compensation or other benefits, embody the
complete agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior written, or prior or contemporaneous oral, understandings or agreements between the parties that may have related in any way to the subject
matter hereof, including but not limited to the Term Sheet presented to Executive. This Agreement may be amended only in writing executed by the Company and Executive. 

16. Governing Law; Exclusive Venue. Because the Company has its principal place of business located in Scottsdale, Arizona,
and because it is mutually agreed that it is in the best interests of the Company and all of its employees that a uniform body of law consistently interpreted be applied to the employment agreements to which the Company is a party, this Agreement
shall be deemed entered into by the Company and Executive in Scottsdale, Arizona. The law of the State of Arizona shall govern the interpretation and application of all of the provisions of this Agreement. The parties expressly agree to submit to
the exclusive jurisdiction and exclusive venue of the courts in Maricopa County, Arizona in connection with any litigation which may be brought with respect to a dispute between the parties, regardless of where Executive resides or where the
services required by this Agreement are performed. Executive irrevocably waives Executive’s right, if any, to have any disputes between Executive and the Company decided in any jurisdiction or venue other than a court in the State of Arizona.

 17. Notice. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have
been given when delivered personally or by overnight courier service or three days after being sent by mail, postage prepaid, at the address indicated below or to such changed address as such person may subsequently give such notice of:

 11 

 18. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy, or claim, whether
contractual or non-contractual, including without limitation any federal or state statutory claim, common law or tort claim, or claim for attorneys fees, between the parties hereto arising directly or indirectly out of or connected with this
Agreement and/or the parties’ employment relationship, unless mutually settled by the parties hereto, shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and in accordance with the Employment Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The parties agree that before proceeding to arbitration that they will mediate their disputes before a mutually selected mediator. If the parties are unable to mutually
select a mediator, then the parties shall jointly request that the AAA appoint a mediator. Any arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitrator mutually selected by the parties. If the parties are unable to mutually select an arbitrator, the parties
shall jointly request that the AAA appoint an arbitrator. All such disputes, controversies or claims shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, unless the parties mutually agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three
arbitrators. The resolution of the dispute by the arbitrator(s) shall be final, binding, nonappealable, and fully enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator(s) may award damages to the
prevailing party. The arbitration award shall be in writing and shall include a statement of the reasons for the award. The arbitration shall be held in the Phoenix/Scottsdale metropolitan area. The Company shall initially pay all AAA, mediation,
and arbitrator’s fees and costs. The arbitrator(s) may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and/or costs to the prevailing party. 

19. Withholding; Release; No Duplication of Benefits. All of Executive’s compensation under this Agreement will be
subject to deduction and withholding authorized or required by applicable law. The Company’s obligation to make any post-termination payments hereunder (other than salary payments and expense reimbursements through a date of termination), shall
be subject to receipt by the Company from Executive of a release consistent with Section 9(d) of this Agreement, and compliance by Executive with the covenants set forth in Sections 10 and 11 hereof. If there is any conflict
between the provisions of the CIC Agreement and this Agreement, such conflict shall be resolved so as to provide the greater benefit to Executive. However, in order to avoid duplication of any monetary benefits, any payments or benefits due under
Executive’s CIC Agreement or under any employee severance plan to the extent such a plan exists or is subsequently implemented by the Company, will be reduced by any payments or benefits provided hereunder. 

20. Non-Waiver; Construction; Counterparts. The failure in any one or more instances of a party to insist upon performance
of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, to exercise any right or privilege conferred in this Agreement, or the waiver by said party of any breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, shall not be
construed as a subsequent waiver of any such terms, covenants, conditions, rights or privileges, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect as if no such forbearance or waiver had occurred. No waiver shall be effective unless it
is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. This Agreement shall be construed fairly as to both parties and not in favor of or against either party, regardless of which party prepared the Agreement. This Agreement
may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute but one instrument. 
  

 12 

 21. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the
parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and legatees. Nothing herein shall be construed to provide any right to any other entity or individual. 

22. Executive Representations. Executive hereby represents that he is not subject to any contract or other restriction that
would prevent, or in any way interfere with, his accepting employment with the Company and performing any or all of Executive’s duties contemplated pursuant to this Agreement. Executive further acknowledges that the Company has directed him to
not misappropriate any confidential information or trade secrets from any prior employer or third party for use in the performance of his duties with the Company.
