Phantom Stock Unit Grant Agreement
(Non-US Grantees)

Award Granted to (“Grantee”):		Grant Date:		Number of Units (“Units”):

          THIS PHANTOM STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) including any country-specific appendix hereto, is made as of the Grant Date by and between ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Medical Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Company”) and Grantee pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Medical Group, Inc. 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”) and which is hereby incorporated by reference.

          WHEREAS, Grantee is associated with the Company or its affiliate as an employee; and

          WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) has authorized that Grantee be granted Phantom Stock Units (“Units”) that upon vesting will be converted to shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Stock”) subject to the restrictions stated below;

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.		Grant of Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants Units to Grantee.
2.		Vesting Schedule. The Units shall vest as to one-fourth (1/4) of the Units on the first anniversary of the <grant date>, and as to an additional one-fourth (1/4) on each succeeding anniversary thereof. Provided, however, that Grantee’s ability to vest in any Units is specifically conditioned upon Grantee’s continued active service in any capacity for the Company or any controlled group member of the Company (within the contemplation of U.S. Internal Revenue Code section 414(b) or (c)) until the vesting event. Notwithstanding the foregoing conditional annual vesting schedule, the interest of Grantee in the Units shall vest as to:

	2.1.		100% of the then unvested Units upon a Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean the first to occur on or after the Grant Date of any of the following:
			(a) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more (on a fully diluted basis) of either (A) the then outstanding shares of Stock, taking into account as outstanding for this purpose such Stock issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants, the conversion of convertible stock or debt, and the exercise of any similar right to acquire such Stock (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (x) any acquisition by the Company or any “affiliate” of the Company, within the meaning of 17 U.S. C.F.R. § 230.405 (an “Affiliate”), (y) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Affiliate, (z) any acquisition by any corporation or business entity pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (A) and (B) of subsection (a) of this Section 2.1 (persons and entities described in clauses (x), (y), and (z) being referred to herein as “Permitted Holders”);

			(b) The consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any Permitted Holder) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more (on a fully diluted basis) of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination, taking into account as outstanding for this purpose such common stock issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants, the conversion of convertible stock or debt, and the exercise of any similar right to acquire such common stock, or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination;
			(c) The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company;
			(d) The sale of at least 80% of the assets of the Company to an unrelated party, or completion of a transaction having a similar effect; or
			(e) The individuals who on the date of this Agreement constitute the Company’s Board of Directors thereafter cease to constitute at least a majority thereof; provided that any person becoming a member of the Board of Directors subsequent to the date of this Agreement and whose election or nomination was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors who then comprised the Board of Directors immediately prior to such vote shall be considered a member of the Board of Directors on the date of this Agreement.

2.2.

100% of the unvested Units upon Grantee’s death.

3.

Conversion into Stock.

	3.1		Subject to Sections 3.6 and 4 below, shares of Stock will be issued and become free of restrictions as soon as practicable following vesting of the Units, provided that Grantee has satisfied all Tax-Related Items as defined in Section 5 of this Agreement and Grantee has completed, signed and returned any documents and taken any additional action that the Company deems appropriate to enable it to accomplish the delivery of the shares of Stock. In no event shall the Company issue the shares of Stock later than March 15 of the calendar year which begins after the calendar year in which the vesting event occurs, unless Grantee fails to satisfy the foregoing conditions for delivery not fewer than seven (7) days before such date, in which event all such shares of Stock shall be forfeited.
	3.2		The shares of Stock will be issued (i) in the event of Grantee’s death, in the name of Grantee’s estate, (ii) a legally designated guardian or representative if Grantee is legally incompetent, or (iii) otherwise, to Grantee, and may be effected by recording shares on the stock records of the

Company or by crediting shares in an account established on Grantee’s behalf with a brokerage firm or other custodian, in each case determined by the Company in its discretion.

	3.3		Each Unit will be converted into one (1) share of Stock.
	3.4		In no event shall the Company be obligated to issue fractional shares.
	3.5		In no event shall the Company settle the conversion of Units with cash, nor shall any dividend equivalents or interest thereon be credited with respect to the Units.
	3.6		Not withstanding the foregoing,
			(a) the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock during any period the Company determines that the conversion of a Unit or the delivery of shares hereunder would violate any laws of the United States or Grantee’s country of residence or employment and/or may issue shares subject to any restrictive legends that, as determined by the Company’s counsel, is necessary to comply with securities or other regulatory requirements, and
			(b) the date on which the shares are issued may include a delay in order to provide the Company such time as it determines appropriate to address Tax-Related Items and other administrative matters.
	3.7		Grantee will have rights of a stockholder of Stock only after the shares of Stock have been issued to Grantee following vesting of his Units and satisfaction of all other conditions to the issuance of those shares as set forth in the Agreement. Units shall not entitle Grantee to any rights of a stockholder of Stock and there are no voting or dividend rights with respect to the Units. Units shall remain terminable pursuant to this Agreement at all times until they vest and convert to shares of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, or other change in the Stock, the number of shares of Stock that each unvested Unit is convertible into shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be.

4.

Restrictions.

	4.1.		The Units granted hereunder may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in any way whether by operation of law or otherwise, and may not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempt to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Units other than as permitted above, shall be void and unenforceable.
	4.2.		Units that have not yet vested at the time Grantee ceases providing substantial active services in any capacity for the Company or any such controlled group member, as described in U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 414(b) or (c), shall be forfeited by Grantee.
	4.3.		By accepting the Units, Grantee represents and agrees for himself and his transferees (whether by will or the laws of descent and distribution) that:
			(a) For the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the first anniversary of the termination of Grantee’s active employment (such period is hereinafter referred to as the “Covenant Period”), with respect to any Country in which the Company is engaged in business during Grantee’s employment with the Company, Grantee shall not participate or engage, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person, partnership, corporation or other entity, whether as an employee, agent, officer, director, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, investor or otherwise, in any business activities if such activity consists of any activity undertaken or expressly planned to be undertaken by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by Grantee at any time during Grantee’s employment.
			(b) Except with the Company’s prior written approval or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, Grantee shall not disclose any material or information which is confidential to the Company or its subsidiaries and not in the public domain or generally

known in the industry, whether tangible or intangible, made available, disclosed or otherwise known to Grantee as a result of his employment with the Company.

(c) During the Covenant Period, Grantee shall not attempt to influence, persuade or induce, or assist any other person in so persuading or inducing, any employee of the Company or its subsidiaries to give up, or to not commence, employment or a business relationship with the Company.

4.4.

The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase and acquire from Grantee any or all of the Stock (the “Repurchased Stock”) received pursuant to any vested Units if the Committee reasonably determines that Grantee has violated the covenants set forth in this Agreement or Grantee’s active employment is terminated or could have been terminated for Cause (as defined in the Plan). The Company may exercise the right granted to it under this Section 4.4 by delivering written notice to Grantee stating that the Company is exercising the repurchase right granted to it under this Section 4.4. The delivery of such notice by the Company to Grantee shall constitute a binding commitment of the Company to purchase and acquire all of the Repurchased Stock. The total purchase price for the Repurchased Stock shall be delivered to the Grantee against delivery by Grantee of certificates evidencing the Repurchased Stock no later than 30 days after the delivery of the election notice by the Company. The price per share of the Repurchased Stock shall be the lesser of (1) the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Repurchased Stock on the date of the Company’s delivery of its written notice to Grantee or (2) the Fair Market Value of the Repurchased Stock on the date that the Units related to the Repurchased Stock vested to the Grantee.

4.5.

The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cancel any or all of the unvested Units if the Committee reasonably determines that Grantee has violated the covenants set forth in this Agreement. The Company may exercise the right granted to it under this Section 4.5 by delivering a written notice to Grantee stating that the Company is exercising the cancellation right granted to it under this Section 4.5.

4.6.

The parties intend the restrictions in Section 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 to be completely severable and independent, and any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more such restrictions shall not render invalid or unenforceable any one or more restrictions.

5.		Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company or Grantee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Grantee or deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to Grantee even if technically due by the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or conversion of the Units, the issuance of shares of Stock upon conversion of the Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Stock issued or to be issued upon conversion of the Units and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Units to reduce or eliminate Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
		Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related

Items. In this regard, Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

			(a) withholding from Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Grantee by the Company and/or the Employer; or
			(b) selling and withholding from proceeds of the sale such number of shares of Stock to be issued to Grantee upon conversion of the Units necessary to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items and any broker’s commission related to the sale, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or
			(c) withholding of shares of Stock to be issued to Grantee upon conversion of the Units.

		To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the vested Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of Grantee’s participation in the Plan.
		Grantee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock, if Grantee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
		Finally, Grantee represents to the Company that, as of the date hereof, he or she is not aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company or the shares of Stock. Grantee and the Company have structured this Agreement to constitute a “binding contract” relating to the sale of shares of Stock pursuant to this Section, consistent with the affirmative defense to liability under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act of 1934 under Rule 10b5-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.

Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, Grantee acknowledges that:

			(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
			(b) the grant of the Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Units, or benefits in lieu of Units, even if Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;
			(c) all decisions with respect to future grants of Units, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
			(d) Grantee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate Grantee’s employment relationship at any time;
			(e) Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

			(f) the Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Units are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of Grantee’s employment contract, if any;
			(g) the Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
			(h) the Units and the shares of Stock subject to the Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;
			(i) the grant of Units and Grantee’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company;
			(j) the future value of the underlying shares of Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
			(k) in consideration of the grant of the Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Units resulting from termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) or a violation of the covenants and Grantee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim;
			(l) in the event of termination of Grantee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Grantee’s right to vest in the Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Grantee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Grantee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Units; and
			(m) the Units and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability.

7.

The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Grantee’s participation in the Plan, or Grantee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Stock. Grantee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Grantee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

If Grantee is uncertain whether the insider-trading rules apply to Grantee, Grantee should consult Grantee’s personal legal advisor.

UNITED KINGDOM

Terms and Conditions

Responsibility for Taxes. The following provisions supplement paragraph 5 of the Agreement:

Grantee agrees that if Grantee does not pay or the Employer or the Company does not withhold from Grantee the full amount of Tax-Related Items that Grantee owes due to the vesting of the Units, or the release or assignment of the Units for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the Units (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by Grantee to the Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. Grantee agrees that the loan will bear interest at the HM Revenue and Custom’s official rate and will be immediately due and repayable by Grantee, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to Grantee by the Employer, by withholding in Stock issued upon vesting and settlement of the Units or from the cash proceeds from the sale of Stock or by demanding cash or a cheque from Grantee. Grantee also authorizes the Company to delay the issuance of any Stock to Grantee unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that Grantee is an officer or executive director and Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by Grantee within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to Grantee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions may be payable. Grantee acknowledges that the Company or the Employer may recover any such additional income tax and national insurance contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in paragraph 5 of the Agreement.
