(g) In addition, during the Employment Period (but not the
Consulting Period), Employee shall be entitled to participate in any stock

plans as other executive officers, with potential annual bonuses of up to 42%
of the Employee's annual salary paid in such year. For the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1997, Employee shall participate in the Executive and Key Manager
Compensation Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A, with 50% of Employee's bonus
subject to the Corporate Bonus and 50% of Employee's bonus subject to the
Divisional Bonus for the Company's managed care division.
(b) Special Sales Bonus:
(i) The Employee shall be eligible for a bonus in the first
calendar year ending during the Employment Period (but not the Consulting
Period) in which Employee Revenue exceeds Base Revenue by $15 million, as
follows:
In the first calendar year that Employee Revenue exceeds Base Revenue
by $15 million, Employee will become eligible for one of the following
bonuses, depending on the year in which Employee Revenue first exceeds
Base Revenue by $15 million, as follows:
3
4
Year Employee Revenue
Employee First Exceeds Base Revenue By $15 Million
Revenue -----------------------------------------
Threshold 1998 1999 2000
--------- ---- ---- ----
Base Revenue
plus $15 million $150,000 $ 50,000 --
Base Revenue
plus $25 million $375,000 $200,000 $ 50,000
Base Revenue
plus $35 million $600,000 $400,000 $200,000
A Special Sales Bonus is payable only for the first calendar year during the
Employment Period that Employee Revenue exceeds Base Revenue by at least $15
million and not for any calendar year thereafter.
(ii) "Base Revenue" is equal to managed care revenues generated
from Existing Accounts during the 1997 calendar year which are recorded as
revenue for financial accounting purposes during 1997 and managed care revenues
generated from New Programs initiated during the 1997 calendar year which are
recorded as revenue for financial accounting purposes during 1997, annualized
as if they had been in effect for the entire year; provided that if any
Existing Account, listed on Attachment A, or any New Program initiated during
the 1997 calendar year, generated no managed care revenues during the 1997
calendar year, then an estimated amount of annual managed care revenue expected
to be generated from such program shall be included in Base Revenue, as
determined by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the
Company. "Employee Revenue" is equal to managed care revenues generated from
Existing Accounts and New Programs during a single calendar year, except for
managed care revenues from any Existing Account or New Program which resulted
in a net profit percentage (after allocation of corporate overhead and
administration expenses) ("Profit Percentage") in such calendar year of less
than ten (10%) percent (the "Excluded Employee Revenue"); provided that no
managed care revenue generated from an Existing Account or new Program shall be
included in Employee Revenue if, at the Payment Date (as defined below), such
Existing Account or New Program is not generating managed care revenues at the
same or a greater level than in the calendar year for which Employee Revenue is
being calculated. Excluded Employee Revenue may be included in Employee
Revenue, if the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the
Company approve in writing of the inclusion of Excluded Employee Revenue in
Employee Revenue, but only to the following extent: the Excluded Employee
Revenue multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the Profit
Percentage on such revenues in such calendar year and the denominator of which
is ten (10%) percent. For example, if a New Program which started in 1998
produces $1,000,000 of managed care revenues in 1998, and the net profit on
such revenue to USMC is $40,000, the Profit Percentage from such revenue is
four (4%) percent and, if approved by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief
Financial Officer, the Employee Revenue in 1998 from such New Program is
$400,000 ($1,000,000 X 4%/10%). The
4
5
pricing of all managed care programs is subject to the prior written approval of
the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
(iii) Employee Revenue in excess of a RevenueThreshold level,
but between two Revenue Threshold levels set forth above, shall be payable at
the lower of the two levels.
(iv) Any bonus for which Employee becomes eligible under this
Section 4(b) is payable in twelve equal monthly payments, with the first such
payment due within five (5) business days of the release of the Company's
earnings to the public for the year in which the bonus is earned. In order to
receive bonus payments under this Section 4(b)(iv), Employee must be a full
time regular employee of the Company on the date of payment of each such bonus
payment. If the Employee's employment is terminated before all payments of
this bonus for which Employee becomes eligible under Section 4(b) are paid, any
unpaid bonus payments shall not be paid.
SECTION 5. Term; Termination.
(a) The Employment Period shall be for a period, commencing on the
date of this Agreement and ending on December 31, 2000 or, if earlier, (i) the
beginning of the Consulting Period, (ii) termination of Employee's employment
with Company for Cause (as defined below), (iii) termination of Employee's
employment with the Company without Cause (as defined below), (iv) termination
by the Employee's of his employment with the Company ("resignation"), (v)
Employee's death or (vi) Employee's physical or mental disability which
prevents him from performing his obligations hereunder for a period of ninety
(90) consecutive days. This Agreement shall terminate at the end of the
Employment Period, or, if later, the end of the Consulting Period. Any such
termination of this Agreement shall not affect the Company's obligation to pay
Salary or consulting fees to Employee accrued through the effective date of
such termination or severance payments required to be paid pursuant to Section
7 of the Agreement.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, "for Cause", shall mean (i) the
Employee's personal dishonesty directly affecting the Company or its
affiliates; (ii) gross incompetence as demonstrated by the Employee's inability
to perform and carry out the functions required of Employee in a manner
consistent and equal to the standards of other employees with similar
responsibilities in the industry; (iii) willful or reckless misconduct of
Employee; (iv) breach by Employee of fiduciary duty to the Company or its
affiliates, whether or not involving person profit; (v) Employee's indictment
for any violation of the Medicare or Medicaid laws or other similar laws or
regulations or Employee's plea of nolo contenders or conviction under any laws
or regulations relating to the Medicare or Medicaid programs or conviction for
violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or
other minor misdemeanor offenses); (vi) the issuance by any regulatory
authority to which the business of the Company or its affiliates is subject of
a final and nonappealable order against Employee imposing sanctions against
Employee which adversely affect the business and operations of the Company or
its affiliates; (vii) repeated and intentional failure of Employee to perform
duties required under this Agreement or a material breach of any provision of
this Agreement; or (viii) Employee's violation of the Company's Code of Ethics;
provided, however, that with respect to
5
6
clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (vii) and (viii) above, such events, occurrences,
violations or problems shall constitute "Cause" only if Employee fails to cure
such event, occurrence, violation or problem within five (5) days following the
date on which written notice specifically identifying such event, occurrence,
violation or problem is delivered to Employee. For purposes of this Agreement,
"without Cause" shall mean termination of Employee's employment for any reason
other than Employee's death or disability, termination of employment by the
Employee or termination of the Employee's employment for Cause.
(c) Employee hereby understands and agrees that, in the event of the
termination of his employment for Cause or due to death, disability or
resignation, no severance or other compensation shall be payable to Employee by
the Company or its affiliates, and Employee hereby waives any and all claims
for severance or other compensation in event of any for Cause termination, or
Employee's death, disability or resignation. All compensation and other
benefits shall cease to accrue upon the Employee's death, disability,
resignation or termination of the Employee's employment for Cause.
SECTION 6. Suspension. In the event Employee is indicted for any
violation of the Medicare or Medicaid laws or other similar laws or regulations,
the Company may suspend Employee and Employee shall cease all of his duties for
the Company or its affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. During
any period of suspension, the Company may cease all payments of all compensation
and any other benefits to which Employee may be entitled, in which case the
Company shall have no obligation to pay such amounts in respect of such period
of suspension or to provide such benefits at any future time.
SECTION 7. Severance. In the event that Employee is terminated by the
Company or any successor of the Company without Cause during the Employment
Period, the Company shall pay to Employee, as a severance package, his Salary
for up to nine (9) months from the date of termination, reduced by any amount
that Employee earns during the nine month period following his termination from
any subsequent employment or otherwise. In the event that Employee is
terminated without Cause during the last nine months of the Employment Period,
the maximum severance pay to which Employee shall be entitled shall be limited
to Employee's salary for the remaining term of the Employment Period. Any
severance compensation paid to Employee pursuant to this Section shall be paid
in the same manner as Salary would have been paid to Employee during the
Employment Period.
SECTION 8. Non-Competition.
(a) As consideration for Employee's covenant not to compete with the
Company or any of its affiliates in accordance with this Section 8 of this
Agreement, Company shall pay to Employee an amount equal to $125,000 pursuant

to perform such conflicting duty or responsibility.
SECTION 14. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Michigan,
without giving effect to any choice of law or
9
10
conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Michigan or any
other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Michigan.
(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but when taken
together shall constitute but one instrument.
(c) Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any rights
or obligations hereunder may be assigned by Employee. The Company may freely
assign this Agreement and all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any
affiliate or to any person or entity in connection with a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or a sale of 50% or more of the
capital stock of the Company. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.
(d) Delegation. The Company may perform its obligations under the
Agreement directly or may delegate all or a portion of its responsibility for
the same to a professional employer organization ("PEO") through which the
Employee's services are made available to the Company. The institution of a
professional employer arrangement with respect to the Employee's services for
the Company does not constitute the termination of the Employee's engagement
with the Company for purposes of the Agreement, nor does the transfer of the
Employee's from one PEO to another PEO constitute such a termination, so long
as his or her services for the Company continue uninterrupted. In the event of
the institution of a professional employer arrangement with respect to the
Employee's services for the Company, a termination of the engagement of the
Employee shall be deemed to have occurred under the Agreement only in the event
that the Employee is no longer rendering services to the Company as
contemplated by the Agreement. In the event of the institution of a
professional employer arrangement with respect to the Employee's services for
the Company, Employee acknowledges that (i) the PEO, under the terms of its
agreement with the Company, has the right to immediately terminate the
Employee's employment without prior notice and without payment of any
post-termination compensation to the Employee and (ii) the PEO shall have no
liability under the Agreement except to make compensation payments to the
Employee as directed by the Company. In the event of the institution of a
professional employer arrangement with respect to the Employee's services for
the Company, if the Company desires to terminate continued service from the
Employee as contemplated by the Agreement, the Company agrees to either cause
the PEO to terminate Employee's employment in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement and to pay all amounts due to Employee under the Agreement resulting
from such termination or to pay directly to the Employee all amounts that would
be due to Employee under the Agreement upon such termination.
(e) Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings contained in
this Agreement are for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this
Agreement.
10
11
(f) Invalidity. In the event that one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement.
(g) Waiver. No failure on the part of either party to exercise, and
no delay in exercising or course of dealing with respect to, any right, power
or privilege under this Agreement (or breach of any obligation under any other
agreement) shall operate as a waiver thereof , nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any other
agreement (or breach of any obligation under any other agreement) preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or hereunder, or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
(h) Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or
abrogated except in writing executed by each of the parties hereto.
(i) Entirety. All negotiations and agreements between the parties
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement are merged into this Agreement
and there are no representations, covenants or agreements of either party other
than those expressly set forth herein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement
as of the date first written above.
