RETIREE MEDICAL PROGRAM

9.1 Retiree Medical Program.  No member of the Company Group shall assume any Liability with respect to the Retiree Medical Program.  Following the IPO, no Company Employee shall accrue any additional benefits under the Retiree Medical Program, except as contemplated in this Section 9.1.  HC shall provide or cause to be provided to each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) who was eligible to retire on or immediately prior to the IPO and, upon such retirement, would have satisfied the eligibility requirements for retiree coverage set forth in the Retiree Medical Program, with retiree benefits and coverage following such Company Employee’s retirement from the Company Group, with such benefits to be provided under the Retiree Medical Program, as the Retiree Medical Program may be amended from time to time following the IPO, as if such Company Employee had remained employed with HC through the applicable retirement date. In addition, HC or another member of the HC Group shall amend the Retiree Medical Program to provide that until the Company Employee’s termination of employment, Company Employees shall be given credit for service with members

13

of the Company Group for purposes of eligibility for participation in the Retiree Medical Program.  The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall not be construed to require any member of the HC Group to maintain the Retiree Medical Program or to prevent the amendment in any manner of the Retiree Medical Program.  The participation by any Company Employee in the Retiree Medical Program shall be subject to such right of amendment or termination.

EQUITY COMPENSATION

11.1 HC Equity.  As of or prior to the IPO, HC shall take such actions and/or modify any applicable terms of the Phantom Stock Units held by Company Employees as it deems appropriate to ensure that such awards are treated as though such Company Employees are deemed “good leavers” in connection with the IPO, subject, in each case, to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the terms of a HC Stock Plan and applicable award agreements.

Article XIV

CERTAIN PAYROLL AND TAX MATTERS

14.1 Payroll and Withholding.

(a) Accrued Payroll.  HC shall retain all Liabilities related to payroll with respect to the Company Employees other than the Company Employees of the UK Company, which shall remain the obligation of the UK Company, to the extent such Liabilities relate to service prior to the IPO, and shall pay such amounts on or after the IPO in accordance with its standard payroll practices.  Effective as of the IPO, the Company Group shall establish its own payroll system for Company Employees.

(b) Income Reporting, Withholding.  HC and the Company shall, to the extent practicable, (i) treat the Company (or a member of the Company Group designated by the Company) as a “successor employer” and HC (or the appropriate HC Group member) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, with respect to Company Employees for purposes of taxes imposed under the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and (ii) cooperate with each other to avoid, to the extent possible, the filing of the more than one IRS Form W-2 with respect to each Company Employee for the year in which the IPO occurs. Without limiting in any manner the obligations and Liabilities of the parties under the Tax Matters Agreement, HC, each HC Group member, the Company and each Company Group member shall each bear its responsibility for payroll tax obligations and for the proper reporting to the appropriate governmental authorities of compensation earned by their respective employees after the IPO, including compensation related to the vesting of Phantom Stock Units, subject to Section 11.2 hereof.

(c) Delivery of, and Access to, Documents and Other Information.  On or before the IPO, HC shall cause to be delivered to the Company the employee information set forth on

all withholding certificates executed by Company Employees as of the date of such delivery.  For such period as HC and the Company may mutually agree in writing, HC shall make reasonably available to the Company all forms, documents or information, no matter in what format stored, relating to compensation or payments made to any Company Employee.  Such information may include, but is not limited to, information concerning employee payroll deductions, payroll adjustments, records of time worked, tax records (e.g., Forms W-2, 1099, W-4, 940 and 941 and applicable counterparts in other jurisdictions), and information concerning garnishment of wages or other payments.

(d) Consistency of Tax Positions; Duplication.  HC and the Company shall individually and collectively make commercially reasonable best efforts to avoid unnecessarily duplicated federal, state or local payroll taxes, insurance or workers’ compensation contributions, or unemployment contributions arising on or after the IPO.  HC and the Company shall cooperate with a view toward taking consistent reporting and withholding positions with respect to any such taxes or contributions.

14.2 Personnel and Pay Records.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Separation Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the original of all records created prior to the IPO (or such later date of transfer of employment, as applicable) set forth in the personnel files of the Company Employees (including, but not limited to, information regarding such employee’s ranking or promotions, the existence and nature of garnishment orders or other judicial or administrative actions or orders affecting the employee’s compensation, and performance evaluations) shall be transferred to the applicable member of the Company Group on or before the IPO.  The originals of all personnel records of all Business Retirees shall remain with the applicable member of the HC Group; provided that HC shall permit the Company or its Affiliates or successors or their authorized representatives to have full access to all such personnel records to the extent reasonably necessary in order for the members of the Company Group or its successors to respond to a subpoena, court order, audit, investigation or otherwise as required by applicable Law or in connection with any pending or threatened lawsuits, actions, arbitrations, claims, complaints, investigations or other proceedings.  The Company or its Affiliates (or their respective successors) shall retain the personnel records for a period of at least ten (10) years following the IPO.  The members of the Company Group shall permit HC and its authorized representatives to have full access upon reasonable notice during normal business hours to all the personnel records during the ten (10) year retention period in order for the members of the HC Group to respond to a subpoena, court order, audit or investigation, to obtain data for pension or other benefits, or otherwise as required by applicable Law, and the members of the Company Group shall provide HC, upon the reasonable request of HC and at the expense of HC, with copies of such personnel records.

15.4 Fiduciary Matters.  HC and the Company each acknowledge that actions contemplated to be taken pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to fiduciary duties or standards of conduct under ERISA or other applicable Law, and no party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if such party fails to comply with any provisions hereof based upon such party’s good faith determination that to do so would violate such a fiduciary duty or standard.

15.5 Consent of Third Parties.  If any provision of this Agreement is dependent on the consent of any third party (such as a vendor) and such consent is withheld, HC and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to implement the applicable provision.  If any provision of this Agreement cannot be implemented due to the failure of such third party to consent, HC and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to implement the provision in a mutually satisfactory manner.
