2.1.27 Separation from Service. Separation from Service means the termination of a Participant s employment with the Employer whether on account of death, retirement, Disability, or otherwise. The Employer will determine whether a Participant has terminated employment based on the facts and circumstances described in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h)(1)(ii). A Participant incurs a Separation form Service if the parties reasonably anticipate, based on the facts and circumstances, that the Participant will not perform any additional services after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services (whether performed as an Employee or an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36 month period (or, if less, the period the Participant has rendered service to the Employer). A Participant is presumed to have a Separation form Service if the Participant s service level decreases to 20% or less than the average prior service and is presumed to not have incurred a Separation form Service if the Participant s service level continues at a rate which is 50% or more of the average prior service. 2.1.28 Substantial Risk of Forfeiture.

The Employer will determine whether an Unforeseeable Emergency has occurred based on the facts and circumstances and in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(i)(3) or other applicable {W6390438.1} 5

guidance, but in any case, the Plan may not make payment to the extent that the Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be relieved: (i) through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise; (ii) by liquidation of the Participant s assets to the extent such liquidation of assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship; or (iii) by the Participant s cessation of Elective Deferrals. The Plan will limit the amount of any payment based on Unforeseeable Emergency to the amount that is reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need, which may include amounts necessary to pay any applicable taxes reasonably anticipated to result from the payment. The Employer in making the determination as to the amount of payment will take into account any additional Compensation available to the Participant upon cancellation of an Elective Deferral election under this Plan, but may disregard amounts available as a hardship distribution or loan from another qualified or nonqualified plan. Any requests for payment for an Unforeseeable Emergency will be made on a form the Employer provides to the Participant for this purpose. 2.1.30 Valuation Date.

The Employer shall maintain a list of the classification(s) and/or name(s) of Employees who are Key Employees eligible to participate in this Plan. Any individual who is a Key Employee eligible to participate for a Plan Year shall remain eligible for subsequent Plan Years so long as he/she continues to meet the definition of an {W6390438.1} 6

eligible Key Employee, unless the Employer, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise. A Key Employee becomes a Participant in the Plan only upon receiving notice from the Employer. Each determination of eligibility for the Plan by the Employer is final and binding. 3.2 Elective Deferral Account. AHS has established an unfunded, bookkeeping Elective Deferred Account in the name of each Participant to which is credited the amount determined in accordance with this Section 3.2. 3.2.1 The Elective Deferral Account is hypothetical in nature and is maintained for bookkeeping purposes only. The Elective Deferral Account shall not hold or be required to hold any actual funds or assets. 3.2.2 A Participant must make his/her Elective Deferral Election via the Participation Agreement. The Participant must make the election no later than 20 calendar days prior to the end of the Plan Year which immediately precedes the Plan Year in which services will be performed by the Participant for the Employer. As to a Plan Year in which an Employee first becomes a Participant, the Participant must make and deliver an Elective Deferral election via the Participant Agreement for that Plan Year not later than 30 days after the Employee becomes a Participant. For any Plan Year, the minimum Elective Deferral amount is $1,000.00 and the maximum Elective Deferral amount is $24,000.00. 3.2.3 A Participant s Elective Deferral election remains in effect for the duration of the Plan Year for which the Participant makes the election. A Participant may make a new election, or may revoke or modify an existing election effective no earlier than for the next Plan Year, provided that a Participant may cancel an existing and otherwise irrevocable election at any time following the Participant s receipt of an Unforeseeable Emergency distribution. 3.2.4 For as long as an Elective Deferral election is in effect for a Participant, AHS shall credit the Participant s Elective Deferral Account from time to time with the Elective Deferral amount. In the event a Participation Agreement is effective on a date other than January 1, the amount due for the initial Plan Year will be prorated accordingly. {W6390438.1} 7

3.3 Matching Contribution Account. In the event an Employer elects to make Matching Contributions for one or more Participants, AHS will establish and maintain an unfunded, bookkeeping Matching Contribution Account in the name of each Participant to which is credited the amount determined in accordance with this Section 3.3. 3.3.1 The Matching Contribution Account is hypothetical in nature and is maintained for bookkeeping purposes only. The Matching Contribution Account shall not hold or be required to hold any actual funds or assets. 3.4 Nonelective Contribution Account. In the event an Employer elects to make Nonelective Contributions for one or more Participants, AHS will establish and maintain an unfunded, bookkeeping Nonelective Contribution Account in the name of each Participant to which is credited the amount determined in accordance with this Section 3.4. 3.4.1 The Nonelective Contribution Account is hypothetical in nature and is maintained for bookkeeping purposes only. The Nonelective Contribution Account shall not hold or be required to hold any actual funds or assets. ARTICLE IV ACCOUNT MAINTENENCE 4.1 Adjustment of Account. Each unfunded, bookkeeping Account shall be adjusted each Valuation Date for which the value of Account is required to be determined and at least as of the last business day of each Plan Year. 4.2 Value of Account. As of the Valuation Date for which the current value is determined (the Current Valuation Date ), the value of the amount credited to an Account determined as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date for which the value was determined shall be increased (or decreased) by the Earning Adjustments on the hypothetical investments as selected by each Participant. 4.2.1 Contributions. For each Participant, (i) the value of the Elective Deferral Account shall be increased by the amount of Elective Deferrals; (ii) if applicable, the value {W6390438.1} 8

of the Matching Contribution Account shall be increased by the amount of Matching Contributions, if any; and (iii) if applicable, the Nonelective Contribution Account shall be increased by the amount of Nonelective Contributions, if any. 4.2.2 Distribution Subtraction. The values (as adjusted above) shall be reduced by the amount distributed with respect to an Account. ARTICLE V FORFEITURE 5.1 Vesting. Participants are 100% vested at all times with respect to their entire Accrued Benefit. ARTICLE VI DISTRIBUTION 6.1 Payment Events. The Plan permissible payment events are the following payment events affecting a Participant: (i) Separation from Service (not due to death or Disability); (ii) death; (iii) Disability; or (iv) Unforeseeable Emergency. As to payment events (i), (ii), and (iii), the Plan will pay to the Participant the Vested Accrued Benefit held in the Participant s Account on a date which is 90 days following the first to occur of such payment events. If that 90-day period spans more than one taxable year of the Participant, the Participant will not have any discretion over the taxable Year of payment. The Plan will make payment in the form of a lump-sum (a single payment) or installments (annually in equal installments between two and 10 years) as elected by the Participant. 6.1.1 Participant Election. A Participant must make an election as to the form of payment at the time of the Participant s Elective Deferral election. No subsequent changes to time and form of payments are permitted under the Plan. 6.2 Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant at any time may request payment based on {W6390438.1} 9

Unforeseeable Emergency by submitting to the Employer a form the Employer provides for this purpose. The Plan will make payment to the Participant within 90 days following the Employer s acceptance of the Participant s Unforeseeable Emergency payment request. If that 90-day period spans more than one taxable year of the Participant, the Participant will not have any discretion over the taxable Year of payment. 6.3 Time and Form of Default Payments. If the Participant fails for any reason to elect the form of payment, the Plan will pay the affected Participant s Vested Accrued Benefit in a lump-sum cash payment on a date which is 90 days following the payment event permitting payment of the Participant s Account under Section 6.1. If that 90-day period spans more than one taxable year of the Participant, the Participant (or his or her estate, as the case may be) will not have any discretion over the taxable Year of payment. 6.4 Installment Payments. A series of installment payments will be treated as a single payment. 6.5 Disputed Payments. In the event of a dispute between the Employer and a Participant as to whether Deferred Compensation is payable to the Participant or as to the amount thereof, or any other failure to pay, payment is treated as paid on the designated payment date if such payment is made in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(g). 6.6 Designation of Beneficiaries. 6.6.1 Right to Designate. The Participant may designate, in the format provided by Fidelity via its online platform, one or more primary Beneficiaries or alternative Beneficiaries to receive all or a specified portion of the amount which may be payable with respect to the Participant under the Plan in the event of such Participant s death. The Participant may change or revoke any such designation from time to time without notice to or consent from any Beneficiary. No such designation, change or revocation shall be effective unless executed by the Participant and received and accepted by AHS during the Participant s lifetime. {W6390438.1} 10

6.6.2 Failure of Designation. If a Participant: (a) (b) fails to designate a Beneficiary, designates a Beneficiary and thereafter revokes such designation without naming another Beneficiary, or (c) designates one or more Beneficiaries and all such Beneficiaries so designated fail to survive the Participant, or (d) designates a spouse as beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved then the value of the amount which may be payable with respect to the Participant under the Plan, or the part thereof as to which such Participant s designation fails, as the case may be, shall be payable to the personal representative of Participant s estate. 6.6.3 No Beneficiary Rights. Prior to the death of the Participant, no person designated to be a Beneficiary shall have any rights or interest in the amount credited under this Plan including, but not limited to, the right to be the sole Beneficiary or to consent to the designation of Beneficiaries (or the changing of designated Beneficiaries) by the Participant. 6.7 Death Prior to Full Distribution. If, at the death of the Participant, the amount payable to the Participant was due or otherwise distributable but not actually paid, the amount of such payment shall be included in the Deferred Compensation Account which is payable to the Beneficiary (and shall not be paid to the Participant s estate). ARTICLE VII STATUS OF PLAN; TRUST 7.1 Unfunded and Unsecured Plan. The Plan and the Deferred Compensation Account shall at all times be considered entirely unfunded both for tax purposes and for purposes of ERISA and no provision shall at any time be made with respect to segregating assets of AHS for the payment of the value of the amount under the Plan. Any funds invested under the Plan shall continue for all {W6390438.1} 11

purposes to be part of the general assets of AHS and available to the general creditors of AHS in the event of a bankruptcy (involvement in a pending proceeding, voluntary or otherwise (including an involuntary petition) as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code) or insolvency (generally not paying debts as such debts become due (taking into account any period of time during which past due payments of such debts may be cured) unless such debts are the subject of a bona fide dispute, as interpreted and applied by United States Bankruptcy Courts) of AHS. A Participant has no rights to any particular assets held by the Plan. All references to accounts, accruals, gains, losses, income, expenses, payments, custodial funds and the like are included merely for the purpose of measuring the obligation of AHS to the Participant in this Plan and shall not be construed to impose on AHS the obligation to create any separate fund for purposes of this Plan. The Plan constitutes a mere promise by AHS to pay the value of the amount to or with respect to the Participant in the future if the requirements of the Plan are satisfied. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guaranty by AHS or any other person or entity that any funds in any trust or the assets of AHS will be sufficient to pay the value of the amount under the Plan. The Participant shall not have any right to a benefit under the Plan except in accordance with the terms of the Plan. 7.2 Corporate Obligation. The officers of AHS shall not in any way secure or guarantee the payment of the value of the amount which may become due and payable hereunder to or with respect to the Participant or Beneficiary. The Participant and other person entitled at any time to payment hereunder shall look solely to the assets of AHS from which the value of the amount may be payable and only as an unsecured, general creditor. After benefits shall have been paid to or with respect to the Participant and such payment purports to cover in full the value of the amount hereunder, such former Participant or other person or persons, as the case may be, shall have no further right or interest in the other assets of AHS in connection with this Plan. No person shall be under any liability or responsibility for failure to effect any of the objectives or purposes of this Plan by reason of the insolvency of AHS. 7.3 The Trust. In order to provide assets from which to fulfill the obligations to the Participant and the Participant s Beneficiary under the Plan, AHS may establish a trust by a trust agreement {W6390438.1} 12

with a third party, the trustee, to which AHS may, in its discretion, contribute cash or other property to provide for the payment of the amount credited to the Deferred Compensation Account under the Plan. The trustee for the trust will have the duty to invest the trust assets and funds in accordance with the terms of such trust. AHS shall be entitled at any time, and from time to time, in its sole discretion, to substitute assets of at least equal fair market value for any assets held in the trust established by AHS. All rights associated with the assets of the trust will be exercised by the trustee of the Trust or the person designated by such trustee, and will in no event be exercisable by or rest with the Participant or the Participant s Beneficiaries. The trust shall provide that in the event of the insolvency of AHS, the trustee shall hold the assets for the benefit of the general creditors of AHS. ARTICLE VIII CLAIMS PROCEDURE 8.1 Determinations. AHS shall make such determinations as may be required from time to time in the operation and administration of this Plan. AHS shall have the sole discretion, authority and responsibility to interpret and construe the Plan document and to determine all factual and legal questions under this Plan, including but not limited to the entitlement of the Participant and Beneficiaries to any amount which may be payable under the Plan, and the amount of their respective interests. The value of the amount which may be payable under this Plan will be paid only if AHS decides in its discretion that the applicant is entitled to it. AHS shall have discretionary authority to grant or deny benefits under this Plan. AHS may, in its sole discretion, delegate authority with respect to the administration of the Plan to such other committee, person or persons as it deems necessary or appropriate for the administration and operation of the Plan. Each interested party may act and rely upon all information reported to them hereunder and need not inquire into the accuracy thereof, nor be charged with any notice to the contrary. 8.2 Rules and Regulations. Any rule not in conflict or at variance with the provisions hereof may be adopted by AHS. 8.3 Method of Executing Instruments. Information to be supplied or written notices to be {W6390438.1} 13

made or consents to be given by AHS pursuant to any provision of the Plan document may be signed in the name of AHS by any officer who has been authorized to make such certification or to give such notices or consents. 8.4 Operation of Plan and Claims Procedures. AHS shall be responsible for the general operation and administration of the Plan and for carrying out the provisions thereof. AHS shall be responsible for the expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan. AHS shall also be responsible for determining eligibility for the payment of the value of the amount payable pursuant to the Plan. AHS shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon all tables, valuations, certificates, opinions and reports furnished by any actuary, accountant, controller, counsel or other person employed or engaged by AHS with respect to the Plan. The procedures for filing claims for payments under the Plan are described below. For claims procedures purposes, the Claims Manager shall be AHS. 8.4.1 Claims Forms. It is the intent of AHS that benefits payable under the Plan shall be payable without the Participant having to complete or submit any claims forms. However, if the Participant believes the Participant is entitled to a payment under the Plan they may submit a claim for payment in writing to AHS. Any claim for payments under the Plan must be made by the Participant or the Participant s Beneficiary in writing and state the claimant s name and the nature of the benefit payable under the Plan on a form acceptable to AHS. If for any reason a claim for payment under the Plan is denied by AHS, the Claims Manager shall deliver to the claimant a written explanation setting forth the specific reasons for the denial, specific references to the pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based, a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, and information on the procedures to be followed by the claimant in obtaining a review of the claim, all written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant. For this purpose: (a) the claimant s claim shall be deemed to be filed when presented in writing to {W6390438.1} 14

the Claims Manager; (b) the Claims Manager s explanation shall be in writing delivered to the claimant within ninety (90) days of the date the claim is filed. 8.4.2 Review. The claimant shall have sixty (60) days following the claimant s receipt of the denial of the claim to file with the Claims Manager a written request for review of the denial. For such review, the claimant or the claimant s representative may review pertinent documents and submit written issues and comments. 8.4.3 Decision on Review. The Claims Manager shall decide the issue on review and furnish the claimant with a copy within sixty (60) days of receipt of the claimant s request for review of the claimant s claim. The decision on review shall be in writing and shall include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, as well as specific references to the pertinent provisions in the Plan on which the decision is based. If a copy of the decision is not so furnished to the claimant within such sixty (60) days, the claim shall be deemed denied on review. In no event may a claimant commence legal action for benefits the claimant believes are due the claimant until the claimant has exhausted all of the remedies and procedures afforded the claimant by this Section 9.4. 8.4.4 General Rules. No inquiry or question shall be deemed to be a claim or a request for a review of a denied claim unless made in accordance with the claims procedure. The Claims Manager may require that any claim for a benefit and any request for a review of a denied claim be filed on forms to be furnished by the Claims Manager upon request. The Claims Manager may, in its discretion, hold one or more hearings on a claim or a request for a review of a denied claim. Claimants may be represented by a lawyer or other representative at their own expense, but the Claims Manager reserves the right to require the claimant to furnish written authorization. A claimant s representative shall be entitled to copies of all notices given to the claimant. 8.4.5 Deadline to File Claim. To be considered timely under the Plan s claim and {W6390438.1} 15

review procedure, a claim must be filed with AHS within one (1) year after the claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the principal facts upon which the claim is based. 8.4.6 Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies. The exhaustion of the claim and review procedure is mandatory for resolving every claim and dispute arising under this Plan. As to such claims and disputes: (a) no claimant shall be permitted to commence any legal action to recover the Plan benefit or to enforce or clarify rights under the Plan under section 502 or section 510 of ERISA or under any other provision of law, whether or not statutory, until the claim and review procedure set forth herein have been exhausted in their entirety; and (b) in any such legal action all explicit and all implicit determinations by AHS (including, but not limited to, determinations as to whether the claim, or a request for a review of a denied claim, was timely filed) shall be afforded the maximum deference permitted by law. 8.4.7 Deadline to File Legal Action. No legal action to recover Plan benefits or to enforce or clarify rights under the Plan under section 502 or section 510 of ERISA or under any other provision of law, whether or not statutory, may be brought by any claimant on any matter pertaining to this Plan unless the legal action is commenced in the proper forum before the earlier of: (a) thirty (30) months after the claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the principal facts on which the claim is based, or (b) procedure. six (6) months after the claimant has exhausted the claim and review 8.4.8 Knowledge of Facts by Participant Imputed to Beneficiary. Knowledge of all facts that a Participant knew or reasonably should have known shall be imputed to every claimant who is or claims to be a beneficiary of the Participant or otherwise claims to derive an entitlement by {W6390438.1} 16

reference to the Participant for the purpose of applying the previously specified periods. 8.5 Participant s Address. The Participant shall keep AHS informed of the Participant s current address and the current address of the Participant s beneficiary. ARTICLE IX ADMINISTRATION 9.1 Administrator. AHS shall be the Plan administrator. 9.2 Service of Process.

All expenses of administering this Plan shall be borne by AHS. 9.4 Spendthrift Provision. No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any interest in the Deferred Compensation Account which can be transferred nor shall the Participant or Beneficiary have any power to anticipate, alienate, dispose of, pledge or encumber the same while in the possession or control of AHS, nor shall AHS recognize any assignment thereof, either in whole or in part, nor shall the Deferred Compensation Account be subject to attachment, garnishment, execution following judgment or other legal process before the amount credited to the Deferred Compensation Account is distributed to the Participant or Beneficiary. The power to designate Beneficiaries to receive any benefits payable to or with respect to the Participant under the Plan in the event of the Participant s death shall not permit or be construed to permit such power or right to be exercised by the Participant so as thereby to anticipate, pledge, mortgage or encumber such benefits or any part thereof and any attempt of the Participant to so exercise said power in violation of this provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be disregarded by AHS. 9.5 Tax Withholding. AHS shall have the authority and power to withhold the amount of any applicable tax required to be withheld by AHS under applicable law with respect to any amount payable under this Plan. To the extent deferral of vested amounts must be taken into account as {W6390438.1} 17

wages for Social Security and Medicare (FICA) tax purposes, the Participant shall be obligated pay the employee share of any tax withholding, if any, while AHS shall be obligated to pay the employer share, if any, as well as report and remit all tax withholdings. 9.6 Certifications. Information to be supplied or written notices to be made or consents to be given by AHS pursuant to any provision of this Plan may be signed in the name of AHS by any officer who has been authorized to make such certification or to give such notices or consents. 9.7 Errors in Computations. AHS shall not be liable or responsible for any error in the computation of the Deferred Compensation Account or the determination of the benefit payable to or with respect to the Participant resulting from any misstatement of fact made by the Participant or by or on behalf of any survivor to whom such benefit shall be payable, directly or indirectly, to AHS and used by AHS in determining the benefit. AHS shall not be obligated or required to increase the benefit payable to or with respect to the Participant which, on discovery of the misstatement, is found to be understated as a result of such misstatement of the Participant. However, the benefit of the Participant which is overstated by reason of any such misstatement or any other reason shall be reduced to the amount appropriate in view of the truth (and to recover any prior overpayment). 9.8 Participant Should Consult Advisors. Neither AHS nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees or agents makes any representation or warranty with respect to any applicable tax, financial, estate planning, or other legal implications of participation in the Plan. The Participant should consult with the Participant s own tax, financial and legal advisors with respect to the Participant s participation in the Plan. ARTICLE X MISCELLANEOUS 10.1 Amendment and Termination. AHS reserves the power and authority to alter, amend or terminate this Plan in accordance with ERISA and the Code with regard to any person expecting to {W6390438.1} 18

receive benefits under the Plan and the interest of the Participant and Beneficiary is subject to the powers so reserved. 10.2 No Oral Amendments.
