duties as are usually performed by a Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of a
business similar in size and scope as the Company and such other reasonable
additional duties as may be prescribed from time to time by the Company's board
of directors which are reasonable and consistent with the Company's operations,
taking into account BORNE's expertise and job responsibilities. This Agreement
shall survive any job title or responsibility change agreed to by BORNE. BORNE
shall report directly to the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, of
the Company regarding implementation of all policy matters. All actions of BORNE
shall be subject and subordinate to the review and approval of the Board of
Directors. No other person or group shall be given authority to supervise or
direct BORNE in the performance of his duties. The Board of Directors shall be
the final and exclusive arbiter of all policy decisions relative to Company's
Business.

2.2. Board Membership. During the term of this
Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to nominate and cause the
election of BORNE to the Company's Board of Directors and its Executive
Committee, if one is constituted. Except as may otherwise be provided or
prohibited in accordance with appropriate law, the Company shall use its best
efforts to amend its Article of Incorporation and Bylaws to provide that

Agreement for BORNE to (i) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or

activities have been conducted by BORNE prior to the Commencement Date, the

Company.

either the then outstanding shares of the Company's common stock or the combined
voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors, provided, however, the purchase by
underwriters in a firm commitment public offering of the Company's securities
shall not constitute a Change of Control; or
(b) If the individuals who serve on the Company
Board of Directors as of the Commencement Date (the "Incumbent Board") cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors;
provided, however, any person who becomes a director subsequent to the

surviving entity's then outstanding voting securities; or (ii) liquidation or
dissolution of the Company; or (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the

expiration of the initial or such extended term, respectively. In the event the
Company terminates this Agreement or fails to renew this Agreement or does not
permit the automatic extension to occur at the end of any term hereof, BORNE
shall be entitled to receive his Deferred Compensation under Section 4.9 hereof.
4. COMPENSATION.
4.1. Salary. In consideration for the services to be
provided by BORNE pursuant to this Agreement, Company shall pay to BORNE a base

in accordance with Section 4.2 below on January 1 of each year thereafter.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have the
discretion at any time and from time to time to increase the Base Salary. The

Base Salary shall be payable in installments consistent with the Company's
normal payroll schedule in effect from time to time, subject to applicable
withholding and other taxes.

4.2. Cost of Living Increase. Commencing January 1,
2000, BORNE's Base Salary shall be automatically increased on January 1 of each
year during the term hereof (the "Yearly Cash Increase") by the greater of: (i)
six (6%) percent; (ii) the percentage increase, if any, of the consumer price
index for Urban Wage Earning and Clerical Workers (Greater Metropolitan Baton
Rouge Area, all items) issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S.
Department of Labor using the year 1967 as a base of 100 (the "Index"); or (iii)
$25,000. In the event the Index ceases to be published during the term of this
Agreement or any extension thereof, the parties shall use a mutually acceptable
comparable statistical index on the cost of living in the United States as shall
then be computed and published by an agency of the United States. The Company's
Board of Directors shall have the discretion to grant Yearly Cash Increases of
Base Salary in excess of the amount provided herein. The automatic increase
based on the greater of the percentage described above or changes in the
consumer price index is called for purposes of this Agreement a "COLA
Adjustment".
4.3. Stock Issuance. On January 1, 1999 and January 1 of
each year thereafter, the Company shall cause to be issued to BORNE, that number
of shares of Company common stock ("Yearly Stock Increase") which have a Market
Value equal to fifty (50%) percent of the Yearly Cash Increase. The Market Value
of each such Yearly Stock Increase shall be cumulative, and added to Base
Salary. Each year thereafter common stock which represents an accumulation of
all previous Yearly Stock Increases shall be issued by the Company to BORNE for
that portion of Base Salary on the first business day of each year. Market Value
of the Company's common stock issued in connection with Yearly Stock Increases
shall be calculated based upon the average closing price per share for the five
(5) trading days before such date, excluding any trades where are not bona fide,
arms length transactions, on the principal stock exchange on which such common
stock is then listed or admitted to trading or if no sale of such common stock
takes place during such five (5) day trading period on such exchange, the
average closing bid and asked price of such common stock as officially reported
on such exchange for such five (5) preceding trading days or if the common stock
is not listed or admitted for trading on any stock exchange, the lowest closing
sales price of Company's common stock as quoted on the National Market System of
the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System
("NMS/NASDAQ") for the five (5) preceding trading days prior to issuance, or if
not traded on the NMS/NASDAQ, the lowest average last bid and asked price for
such common stock on the five preceding trading days in the over-the-counter
market as reported on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotation System ("NASDAQ") or if the common stock is not then included in
NASDAQ, as furnished by the National Quotation Bureau or such other firm engaged
in such similar business. If the common stock is not traded publicly, then the
Market Value shall be the gross proceeds per share the Company received from the
average of the last five (5) separate sales of its Common Stock prior to the
issuance to BORNE. If no public market or if the Company were private and a
dispute arises, the business will be valued by independent appraiser(s) similar
to the real estate appraisal format as authorized in Section 2.4. If in any
year, any Yearly Stock Increase issuance herein might cause BORNE to violate
Section 16(b) of the Securities Xxxxxxxx Xxx 0000, as amended, the Yearly Stock
Increase shall be delayed until six (6) months and one day after BORNE's last
sale of Company securities, and Market Value shall be calculated based on the
sale price at the time of issuance. The Yearly Cash Increase will not be delayed
in any event. All shares of common stock so received shall be "restricted
securities" as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act") and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. BORNE hereby
represents that any such shares of common stock will be acquired for investment
purposes and not with a view to any resale, redistributions except in accordance
with the Act.

4.4. Bonus. At the end of each fiscal year of the
Company during the term hereof, the Company shall pay to BORNE a bonus equal to
100% of his Base Salary in effect at the time the bonus is paid, if the Company
attains or exceeds the operating income (loss) as presented in the budget
approved by the Company's Board of Directors for that fiscal year. For the
purpose of this Section 4.4 operating income shall be before taxes, interest and
amortization and depreciation expense (EBITDA), as determined in generally
accepted accounting principles. The bonus, if any, shall be paid in cash within
120 days after the Company's fiscal year end. Operating Income as shown on the
Company's consolidated financial statements audited by the independent certified
public accountants engaged to audit the financial statements shall be conclusive
proof of operating income for that year. Prior to the commencement of each
fiscal year, the Board of Directors shall consider and approve a budget
containing a proposed operating income (loss) for that fiscal year as determined
by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. In all cases, operating income
(loss) in the budget shall be determined after an accrual for all bonuses which
may be payable to the Company's officers and employees is recorded for that
fiscal year. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Board of
Directors may pay a bonus in excess of the amount earned pursuant to this
Section 4.4 herein.
4.5. Tax Bonus Payments. In any year in which the
Company issues a Yearly Stock Increase, stock grants or stock options is paid to
BORNE, the Company shall, concurrently therewith, pay to BORNE an additional
cash bonus sufficient for BORNE to pay any Federal and state income tax incurred
as a result of the receipt of the Yearly Stock Increase, stock grants or stock
options. Such additional cash bonus shall include sufficient cash to cover any
taxes incurred on the additional cash bonus paid pursuant to this Section 4.5.
4.6. Automatic Stock Options.
(a) Grant. On January 1 of each year during the
term hereof, the Company shall cause to be granted to BORNE, pursuant to a stock
option plan duly adopted by the Company or otherwise, options to purchase such

(1 1/2%) percent of the number of shares of Company common stock issued by the
Company during the preceding fiscal year; or (ii) 30,000 shares. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, BORNE shall not be entitled to the grant of
options during the Deferred Compensation Period (as defined in Section 4.9(b)
herein).
(b) Vesting. All such options granted pursuant
to this Section 4.6 shall vest in BORNE 100% at the time of grant, shall be

trading days, as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3
herein. To the extent that such options are incentive stock options pursuant to
Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, such incentive
stock options shall terminate ninety (90) days following termination of BORNE's
employment. All non-incentive stock options shall terminate one (1) year
following termination of BORNE's employment. All such other terms of the options
granted hereunder shall have terms substantially similar to the terms of such
options granted to BORNE pursuant to that certain Stock Option Agreement by and
between the Company and BORNE of even date herewith.
4.7. Registration Rights. If, at any time after the
issuance of any common stock pursuant to this Agreement, the Company files a
registration statement registering its common stock with the SEC under the Act
(an "Offering") on any form (other than on a registration
-6-
10
statement on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor form), the Company will give
written notice to BORNE at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of a
registration statement of its intention to file same. If BORNE notifies the
Company within twenty (20) days of receipt of such notice that he desires to
include any common stock he then owns in such proposed registration statement,
the Company will afford BORNE the opportunity to include same. The Company shall
pay all costs and expenses associated with the registration statement, exclusive
of any fees and expenses of counsel retained by BORNE or discounts and
commissions incurred by BORNE in connection with the sale thereof. However, the
Company will not be required to include any shares of common stock owned by
BORNE if the Offering is an underwritten public offering, and (i) BORNE does not
agree to sell his common stock on the same terms and conditions as to which
other common stock is being sold in the Offering by the Company, (ii) the
managing underwriter determines and advises the Company in writing that the
inclusion of such shares of common stock owned by BORNE would jeopardize the
success of the Offering, and (iii) in each case, all shares of Common Stock
owned by BORNE which are not included in the Offering will be withheld from the
market for no longer than three (3) months after the effective date of the
registration statement.
4.8. Stock Options. In addition to any options granted
pursuant to Section 4.6 herein, in the event that the Company adopts a stock
option plan, BORNE shall be eligible to receive grants of stock options under
such plan in such amount as determined by the Board of Directors or any
committee thereof. All Options granted to BORNE shall have a term of ten (10)
years or such lesser term as determined by the specific stock option plan under
which Options are granted. All Options so granted shall vest thirty-three and
one-third percent (33 1/3%) as of the date of grant and thirty-three and
one-third percent (33 1/3%) at the end of each year thereafter, so long as BORNE
remains employed by Company and shall continue to vest during any Deferred
Compensation Period. Vesting of Options shall immediately accelerate upon a
Change of Control as defined in Section 3.5 herein. BORNE shall have the right
to exercise vested incentive stock options for up to ninety (90) days after
termination of the Deferred Compensation Period and non-statutory stock options
for up to twelve (12) months after termination of the Deferred Compensation
Period. All other terms of the Options shall be subject to and determined by the
stock option plan. The parties acknowledge that they intend to incorporate a
reload feature in any plan so adopted by the Company.

maintained by the Company for the benefit of BORNE. Health related expenses
include medical bills, diagnostic testing, physician charges, pharmaceuticals,
laboratory charges, eye care expenses, (including office visits and eye glass
prescriptions and contact lenses) surgical costs and expenses, nursing services,
and hospital charges of all kinds. The Company shall not make any changes in any
employee benefit plans or arrangements now in effect or hereafter adopted in
which BORNE now or hereafter may participate, which would adversely affect
BORNE's rights or benefits thereunder, unless the change is approved in advance
by BORNE.
(e) Life Insurance Benefits. The Company shall
pay the premium directly, or shall reimburse BORNE in his discretion, on a
"whole life" insurance policy on the life of BORNE with a face value to be
determined in the sole discretion of BORNE, which premium shall not exceed
$25,000 per year, increased in each year by the greater of (i) six (6%) percent
or (ii) the percentage increase in the Index. Such obligation to pay the premium
shall continue during the term hereof and any Deferred Compensation Period. The
amount of the premium shall be adjusted on January 1 of each year by the same
percentage increase as Base Salary in accordance with Section 4.2 herein. BORNE
shall have the right to designate the beneficiaries of such policies and shall
be the owner thereof. Company shall pay all premiums on such life insurance at
least five (5) days before the end of any grace period, and on demand provide
BORNE due proof of such pay ment. The insurance companies issuing such policies
shall be authorized to give BORNE, upon his request, any information regarding
the status of any such policy. Any dividend declared upon such policy shall be
applied to the premium. The Company issuing the insurance must be at least "AA"
in the "Best" ratings and be duly licensed to issue such policies.
(f) Memberships. During the term of this
Agreement and any Deferred Compensation Period, the Company shall pay all
initial membership fees and monthly dues on behalf of BORNE for BORNE's
membership in one country club (at a fee not to exceed $15,000 per year,
including any initiation fee and annual dues, increased by the greater of (i)
six (6%) percent or (ii) the percentage increase in the Index), two (2) business
luncheon clubs, airline clubs, and one personal credit card all at BORNE's
selection and sole discretion. BORNE shall pay all expenses for such club use
that is not otherwise reimbursable as a Company Business expense.
(g) Penalties. In the event the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service or any other federal, state or local governmental authority, due
to any change in tax laws or regulations shall impose a penalty or charge for
anything connected with this Agreement (except for Base Salary and bonuses), the
Company will pay to BORNE a "grossed up" amount which will allow BORNE a net
cash payment sufficient to satisfy such penalty or charge. The Company and BORNE
will then mutually agree on alternative benefits that will not cause BORNE any
financial disadvantage. It is the express intent of this Agreement that BORNE
not bear any additional cost or lose any benefits as a result of this Agreement
due to any change in the tax laws or regulations.

(h) Tax Preparation. The Company will reimburse
BORNE for the cost of tax and financial preparation and planning, including
services that may be requested by BORNE from time to time pertaining to this
Agreement, which shall be limited to $1,500 per year, increased by the greater
of (i) six (6%) percent or (ii) the percentage increase in the Index.
(i) Additional Benefits. BORNE shall receive any
such additional benefits that any other executive officer may receive during the
term of this Agreement at the reasonable discretion of the board of directors.

regardless of whether AMEDISYS is a 100% owner, sponsored by the Company and its
Affiliates (an "Affiliate" is any person controlling, under common control with
or controlled by the Company) to own, lease or operate health care services
("Business Combination") which either opens for business, or as to which the
funds necessary to open for business are raised, during the term of this
Agreement. The Interest shall entitle BORNE to compensation in an amount equal
to distributions of operating profits made by each of the Business Combinations
to which a one (1%) percent owner is entitled. Such distributions shall be paid
to BORNE at the same time that distributions are made to the other partners or
shareholders of the Business Combination. The Interest is permanent and BORNE
shall receive such distributions whether or not he is then still employed by the
Company and in the event of his death, BORNE's estate or his designated heirs
shall receive such distributions.
4.12. Most Favored Status. The Company and BORNE intend
that BORNE receive the benefit of any new or additional compensation programs
developed by the Company hereafter. Accordingly, at such times as the Board of
Directors approves any new or additional compensations concepts or programs for
any officer of the Company (other than compensation based on sales or other
commissions), than such new or additional concept or program shall also apply to
BORNE and this Agreement shall be amended by the Company and BORNE upon demand
by BORNE to incorporate such new or additional concept or program.
5. DISABILITY.
5.1. Disability. In the event that BORNE shall become
mentally or physically Disabled (as hereinafter defined) so as to be unable to
fully perform his duties herein, BORNE shall continue to receive his monthly
Base Salary as then in effect for each of the first six (6) months or any part
thereof of any continuous Disability, less any amounts received by him under any
disability insurance paid for by Company. If upon the expiration of six (6)
months of continuous Disability, BORNE remains incapacitated (hereinafter
"Permanent Disability"), the Company shall have the right to immediately
terminate this Agreement. Upon termination, BORNE shall continue to receive his
monthly Base Salary for an additional six (6) month period and thereafter BORNE
shall receive the Deferred Compensation as provided in Section 4.9 herein,
reduced by any amounts received by him under any disability insurance paid for
by Company. Thereafter, BORNE will only be entitled to receive disability
insurance proceeds for the term of such disability. The amount of disability
payments will be the maximum amount allowed by law, but in any event, the
Company shall insure that BORNE's net income will be at least seventy-five (75%)
percent of his highest compensation for the last five (5) years, in accordance
with Section 4.9(b). BORNE may at his sole discretion carry the policy in his
name, and the Company shall pay all premiums connected with the policy for life,

violation, of a patient, supplier or employee, shall constitute absolute and
conclusive evidence that BORNE has substantially and materially breached the
provisions of this Agreement.

essential elements of this Agreement, and that, but for the agreement of BORNE
to comply with such covenants, the Company would not have entered into this
Agreement. Such covenants by BORNE shall be construed as agreements independent
of any other provision of this Agreement and the existence of any claim or cause
of action BORNE may have against the Company whether predicated on this
Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by
Company of these covenants.
8.6. Default on Severance Payments.
(a) Company Breach. If the Company breaches any
requirement of Section 4.9 herein, in addition to any other remedy to which
BORNE may be entitled, Company shall not be entitled to enforce the provisions

right to monetary damages.

phrases, sentences, clauses, sections, subdivisions, or subparagraphs contained
in this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining portions
of this Agreement or any part thereof, all of which are inserted conditionally
on their being legally valid. In the event that one or more of the words,
phrases, sentences, clauses, sections, subdivisions, subparagraphs, or articles
are determined to be unenforceable and if such invalidity shall be caused by the
length of any period of time or the size of any area set forth in any part
hereof, such period of time or such area, or both, shall be considered to be
reduced to a period or area which would cure such invalidity.
11. INDEMNIFICATION. Company agrees to indemnify BORNE for any
