Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the terms of a Labor Agreement or applicable Law require that any Assets or Liabilities be retained or assumed by, or transferred to, a Party in a manner that is different than what is set forth in this Agreement, such retention, assumption or transfer shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Labor Agreement and applicable Law and shall not be made as otherwise set forth in this Agreement; provided that, in such case, the Parties shall take all necessary action to preserve the economic terms of the allocation of Assets and Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply in respect of all jurisdictions.

(a) Acceptance and Assumption of Enhabit Liabilities. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, on or prior to the Effective Time, but in any case prior to the Distribution, Enhabit and the applicable Enhabit Designees shall accept, assume and agree faithfully to perform, discharge and fulfill all of the following Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms (each of which shall be considered an Enhabit Liability), regardless of when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to, at or subsequent to the Effective Time, regardless of where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined (including any Liabilities arising out of claims made by Encompass’s or Enhabit’s respective directors, officers, Employees, Former Employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates against any member of the Encompass Group or the Enhabit Group) or whether asserted or determined prior to the date hereof, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of Law, fraud or misrepresentation by any member of the Encompass Group or the Enhabit Group, or any of their respective directors, officers, Employees, Former Employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates:

(i) any and all wages, salaries, incentive compensation, equity compensation, commissions, bonuses and any other employee compensation or benefits payable to or on behalf of any Enhabit Group Employees and Former Enhabit Group Employees after the Effective Time, without regard to when such wages, salaries, incentive compensation, equity compensation, commissions, bonuses or other employee compensation or benefits are or may have been awarded or earned;

(ii) any and all Liabilities whatsoever with respect to claims under an Enhabit Benefit Plan;

(iii) any and all Liabilities arising out of, relating to or resulting from the employment, or termination of employment of all Enhabit Group Employees and Former Enhabit Group Employees; and

(iv) any and all Liabilities expressly assumed or retained by any member of the Enhabit Group pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Acceptance and Assumption of Encompass Liabilities. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, on or prior to the Effective Time, but in any case prior to the Distribution, Encompass and certain members of the Encompass Group designated by Encompass shall accept, assume and agree faithfully to perform, discharge and fulfill all of the following Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms (each of which shall be considered an Encompass Liability), regardless of when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to, at or subsequent to the Effective Time, regardless of where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined (including any Liabilities arising out of claims made by Encompass’s or Enhabit’s respective directors, officers, Employees, Former Employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates against any member of the Encompass Group or the Enhabit Group) or whether asserted or determined prior to the date hereof, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of Law, fraud or misrepresentation by any member of the Encompass Group or the Enhabit Group, or any of their respective directors, officers, Employees, Former Employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates:

(i) any and all wages, salaries, incentive compensation, equity compensation, commissions, bonuses and any other employee compensation or benefits payable to or on behalf of any Encompass Group Employees and Former Encompass Group Employees after the Effective Time, without regard to when such wages, salaries, incentive compensation, equity compensation, commissions, bonuses or other employee compensation or benefits are or may have been awarded or earned;

(c) Unaddressed Liabilities. To the extent that this Agreement does not address particular Liabilities under any Benefit Plan and the Parties later determine that they should be allocated in connection with the Distribution, the Parties shall agree in good faith on the allocation, taking into account the handling of comparable Liabilities under this Agreement.

(d) Employment Litigation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Liabilities arising out of litigation involving Employees and Former Employee with respect to the termination of employment or violation of restrictive covenants shall be governed by the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 2.02. Service Credit Recognized by Enhabit and Enhabit Benefit Plans.

(a) Service Credit Generally. As of the Effective Time, the Enhabit Benefit Plans shall, and Enhabit shall cause each member of the Enhabit Group to, recognize each Enhabit Group Employee’s and each Former Enhabit Group Employee’s full service with Encompass or any of its Subsidiaries or predecessor entities at or prior to the Effective Time, to the same extent that such service was recognized by Encompass for similar purposes prior to the Effective Time as if such full service had been performed for a member of the Enhabit Group, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and determination of level of benefits under any Enhabit Benefit Plans.

(b) No Duplication or Acceleration of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, no participant in any Benefit Plan shall receive service credit or benefits or recognition of compensation or other factors to the extent that receipt of such service credit or benefits or recognition of compensation or other factors would result in duplication of benefits provided to such participant by the corresponding Benefit Plan or any other plan, program or arrangement sponsored or maintained by a member of the Group that sponsors the corresponding Benefit Plan. Furthermore, unless expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Separation and Distribution Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement or required by applicable Law, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to (i) create any right to accelerate vesting distributions or entitlements under any Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by a member of the Encompass Group or member of the Enhabit Group on the part of any Employee or Former Employee or (ii) limit the ability of a member of the Encompass Group or Enhabit Group to amend, merge, modify, eliminate, reduce or otherwise alter in any respect any benefit under any Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by a member of the Encompass Group or Enhabit Group, respectively, or any trust, insurance policy or funding vehicle related thereto.

(c) Beneficiaries. References to Encompass Group Employees, Former Encompass Group Employees, Enhabit Group Employees, Former Enhabit Group Employees, and current and former nonemployee directors of either Encompass or Enhabit shall be deemed to refer to their beneficiaries, dependents, survivors and alternate payees, as applicable.

(d) Not a Change in Control.

To the extent necessary, Encompass shall assign, or cause an applicable member of the Encompass Group to assign, to Enhabit or another member of the Enhabit Group, as designated by Enhabit, all Individual Agreements (other than any provision relating to restrictive covenants), with such assignment to be effective as of no later than the Effective Time; provided, however, that to the extent that assignment of any such Individual Agreement is not permitted by the terms of such agreement or by applicable Law, effective as of the Effective Time, each member of the Enhabit Group shall be considered to be a successor to each member of the Encompass Group for purposes of, and a third-party beneficiary with respect to, such Individual Agreement, such that each member of the Enhabit Group shall enjoy all the rights and benefits under such agreement (including rights and benefits as a third-party beneficiary); provided, further, that in no event shall Encompass be permitted to enforce any Individual Agreement (including any agreement containing noncompetition or nonsolicitation covenants) against an Enhabit Group Employee or Former Enhabit Group Employee for action taken in such individual’s capacity as an Enhabit Group Employee or Former Enhabit Group Employee.

(b) Assumption by Enhabit. Effective as of the Effective Time, Enhabit shall, or shall cause the members of the Enhabit Group to, assume and honor any Individual Agreement to the extent assigned, including any obligations thereunder to which any Enhabit Group Employee or Former Enhabit Group Employee is a party with any member of the Encompass Group.

(B) the per share exercise price of such Enhabit Option Award, rounded up to the nearest cent, shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the per share exercise price of the corresponding Encompass Option Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (2) the Enhabit Ratio.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.02(a), the exercise price, the number of Encompass Shares and Enhabit Shares subject to each Post-Separation Encompass Option Award and Enhabit Option Award, and the terms and conditions of exercise of such options, shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

(ii) If the holder is an Enhabit Group Employee, such award shall be converted, as of the Effective Time, into an Enhabit Restricted Stock Award, and shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.02, be subject to the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) after the Effective Time as were applicable to such Encompass Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time, the number of Enhabit Shares subject to such Enhabit Restricted Stock Award shall be equal to the sum of all the Enhabit Shares subject to all tranches of the Award where the number of Enhabit Shares subject to each tranche is equal to the product, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares for each such tranche, obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Encompass Shares subject to such tranche of the corresponding Encompass Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Enhabit Ratio.

(c) Performance Stock Unit Awards. Each Encompass Performance Stock Unit Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as follows:

(i) If the holder is an Encompass Group Employee or Former Employee, such award shall be converted, as of the Effective Time, into a Post-Separation Encompass Performance Stock Unit Award, and shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.02(c), be subject to the same terms and conditions (including with respect to time-based vesting) after the Effective Time as were applicable to such Encompass Performance Stock Unit Award immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time, the number of Encompass Shares subject to such Post-Separation Encompass Performance Share Unit Award shall be equal to the sum of all the Encompass Shares subject to all tranches of the Award where the number of Encompass Shares subject to each tranche is equal to the product, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares for each such tranche, obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Encompass Shares subject to such tranche of the corresponding Encompass Performance-Based RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Encompass Ratio. The applicable performance-based vesting conditions may be modified in a manner determined by the Encompass Compensation Committee prior to the Effective Time.

(ii) If the holder is an Enhabit Group Employee, such award shall be converted, as of the Effective Time, into an Enhabit Restricted Stock Award, and shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.02(c), be subject to the same terms and conditions (including with respect to time-based vesting) after the Effective Time as were applicable to such Encompass Performance Stock Unit Award immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Encompass Compensation Committee shall determine the number of Encompass Shares earned under such award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time based on the Encompass Compensation Committee’s determination of the level of achievement of the applicable performance objectives; and provided, further, that the number of Enhabit Shares subject to such Enhabit Restricted Stock Award shall be equal to the sum of all the Enhabit Shares subject to each tranche of the Award where the number of Shares subject to each tranche is equal to the product, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares for each such tranche, obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Encompass Shares subject to such tranche of the corresponding Encompass Performance Share Unit Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Enhabit Ratio.
