THIS EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of February 21, 2008, by and among RADIATION THERAPY SERVICES HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), RADIATION THERAPY SERVICES, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and XXXXXX XXXXXX (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the business of providing radiation therapy services to cancer patients;

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Radiation Therapy Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Holdings and RTS MergerCo, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Merger Sub”), dated as of October 19, 2007, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings;

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to assure itself of the services of the Executive for the period provided in this Agreement and the Executive is willing to serve in the employ of the Company for such period upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. EMPLOYMENT. The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive upon the terms and conditions herein contained, and the Executive hereby agrees to accept such employment for the term described below. The Executive agrees to serve as the Company’s Executive Vice President and General Counsel during the term of this Agreement. In such capacity, the Executive shall have the authorities, functions, powers, duties and responsibilities that are customarily associated with such position and as the Chief Executive Officer or the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) may reasonably assign to him from time to time consistent with such position. It is expressly agreed and understood that Executive shall be based in New York and shall travel to the Company’s headquarters in Fort Xxxxx, Florida and other Company locations on a periodic basis, at the Company’s expense, as necessary. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Executive may continue to serve as “of counsel” to the law firm of Garfunkel, Wild & Xxxxxx, P.C. (“GWT”) with the express understanding that (x) such “of counsel” arrangement shall include only minimal services related to transition and (y) Executive shall not receive any compensation or ongoing financial or other interest in the law firm (other than any vested retirement benefit interest).

Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall devote his best efforts and substantially all of his business time and services to the business and affairs of the Company. The Executive currently serves on the board of directors of the entities set forth on the attached Exhibit A. Nothing herein shall preclude Executive from (i) serving or continuing to serve on the board of directors of entities that do not compete with the Company and to the extent such service does not materially interfere with Executive’s performance under this Agreement; provided that Executive will not agree to serve or actually serve on the board of directors of any

entity for which he has not previously served without first notifying the Board or (iii) serving or continuing to serve on the boards or advisory committees of medical, charitable or other similar organizations to the extent such service does not materially interfere with Executive’s performance under this Agreement. As periodically requested by the Board, Executive shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Board in determining whether Executive’s membership on the board of directors or any other involvement with any entity could reasonably be expected to result in health care compliance issues or liability for the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates and/or joint ventures and to take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Board to remedy and/or mitigate any such issues or liability identified by the Board.

2. TERM OF AGREEMENT. The initial five (5) year term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence as of the date of closing of the Merger (the “Effective Date”). After the expiration of such initial 5 year employment period, the term of the Executive’s employment hereunder shall automatically be extended without further action by the parties for successive two (2) year renewal terms, provided that if either party gives the other party at least one hundred twenty (120) days advance written notice of its intention to not renew this Agreement for an additional term, the Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the current term.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately before the end of the initial term or any renewal term, subject to a continuing obligation to make the payments, if any, required under Section 5 below, if the Executive (i) becomes Disabled (as defined in Section 5(c) below), (ii) is terminated by the Company for Cause or without Cause or (iii) voluntarily terminates his employment for Good Reason or for any other reason or no reason before the then current term of this Agreement expires.

3. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

(a) Annual Base Salary. The Executive shall receive an annual base salary during the term of this Agreement at a rate of not less than Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000) (as increased from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, the “Base Salary”), payable in installments consistent with the Company’s normal payroll schedule. The Board or its Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) shall review this Base Salary at annual intervals, and may, but shall not be obligated to, increase the Base Salary from time to time as the Board or the Compensation Committee deems to be appropriate.

(b) Performance Incentive Bonus. The Executive shall also be entitled to receive an annual performance-based incentive bonus from the Company during the term of this Agreement with a target bonus amount not less than $300,000 per annum (as the Board may, but shall not be obligated to adjust from time to time, the “Target Bonus”), the actual amount of the bonus to be determined by the Board, in good faith, on an annual basis pursuant to a bonus plan based on factors including, without limitation, the Company’s achievement of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and net debt targets (the “Bonus Plan”). The bonus amount to be paid to the Executive in

any given year pursuant to the Bonus Plan shall be referred to as the Executive’s “Bonus.” The Bonus shall be paid to the Executive within thirty (30) days following the availability of the Company’s annual financial statements and shall be payable in cash.

4. ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. The Executive shall receive the following additional compensation and welfare and fringe benefits:

(a) Participation in Benefit Plans. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans and programs maintained by the Company from time to time for its executives, or for its employees generally, including without limitation any life, medical, dental, accidental and disability insurance and profit sharing, pension, retirement, savings, stock option, incentive stock and deferred compensation plans, in accordance with the terms and conditions as in effect from time to time.

(b) Vacation. The Executive shall be entitled to no less than four (4) weeks of vacation (or such greater vacation benefits as may be provided in the future by the Board or Compensation Committee) during each year during the term of this Agreement and any extensions thereof, prorated for partial years.

(c) Business Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses he incurs, in accordance with the Company’s then-current policies, in promoting the Company’s business, including expenses for travel, entertainment of business associates, service and usage charges for business use of cellular phones and similar items, continuing legal education and full time secretarial support, upon presentation by the Executive from time to time of an itemized account of such expenditures.

(d) Other. In addition to the benefits provided pursuant Sections 4(a), 4(b) and 4(c), the Executive shall be eligible to participate in such other executive compensation and retirement plans of the Company as are available generally to other officers, and in such welfare benefit plans, programs, practices and policies of the Company as are generally applicable to other key employees, including any deferred compensation plan made generally available to the senior officers of the Company. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain on behalf of Executive long-term disability insurance coverage during the term of the Agreement on such terms and conditions as are standard in the industry.

5. PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION.

(a) Involuntary Termination. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company during the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to receive his Base Salary accrued and unpaid through the date of termination (the “Termination Date”) and his earned and unpaid Bonus, if any, for the fiscal year ending prior to the Termination Date. The Executive shall also receive any nonforfeitable benefits already earned and payable to him under the terms of any deferred compensation, incentive or other benefit plan maintained by the Company, payable in accordance with the terms of

the applicable plan. The payments and benefits that the Executive shall be entitled to pursuant to this Section 5(a) are collectively referred to as the Executive’s “Accrued Compensation”.

(b) Severance Payments. If the Executive’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause or (ii) by the Executive for Good Reason, in addition to payment of the Accrued Compensation, the Company shall also be obligated to make a series of monthly payments to the Executive for a period of thirty-six (36) months immediately following the Termination Date provided, however, in the event the Executive is terminated after the second anniversary of the Effective Date, such thirty-six month period shall be reduced to twenty four (24) months. Each monthly payment shall be equal to one-twelfth (l/12th) of the sum of (x) the Executive’s annual Base Salary, as in effect on the Termination Date, plus (y) the Executive’s Bonus for the year immediately prior to the year during which termination occurs; provided that for purposes of this Section 5(b), Executive’s 2007 Bonus shall be deemed to be $300,000.

(c) Disability. The Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement, if the Board determines that the Executive has been unable to attend to his duties for at least one-hundred and twenty (120) days out of any three hundred and sixty (360) day period because of a medically diagnosable physical or mental condition, and has received a written opinion from a physician acceptable to the Board that such condition prevents the Executive from resuming full performance of his duties at such time and during the succeeding 120 days or is likely to continue for an indefinite period (any such condition, a “Disability”). If the Company terminates this Agreement due to Executive’s Disability, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Compensation and any disability benefits payable pursuant to any long-term disability plan or other disability program or insurance policies maintained or provided by the Company.

(d) Termination for Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the amount the Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company shall be limited to the Accrued Compensation.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall be limited to (i) any action by the Executive involving willful disloyalty to the Company, such as embezzlement, fraud, misappropriation of corporate assets or a breach of the covenants set forth in Sections 8 and 9 below; (ii) the Executive being convicted of or entering a plea of guilty or no contest or similar plea with respect to, a felony; (iii) the Executive being convicted of or entering a plea of guilty or no contest or similar plea with respect to, any lesser crime or offense (x) committed in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder, (y) involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude or (z) that causes the Company or any of its subsidiaries a substantial and material financial detriment; (iv) substantial neglect or willful misconduct in carrying out Executive’s material duties (other than resulting from the Executive’s Disability) or violations of policies of the Company and/or its subsidiaries resulting in material harm to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (v) substantial and repeated failure, refusal or inability (except where due to illness or Disability) to perform Executive’s duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, no termination pursuant to subsection (iv) or (v) shall be treated as termination for Cause unless the Board has provided the Executive with written notice specifying in reasonable detail the alleged Cause for termination and the Cause is not cured within 30 days after the date of such notice.

(e) Voluntary Termination by the Executive. If the Executive resigns or otherwise voluntarily terminates his employment and the termination is not for Good Reason, the Executive shall only be entitled to the Accrued Compensation upon such termination.

For purposes of this Agreement, a termination by the Executive shall be for “Good Reason” if the Executive resigns during the period of three months after the date the Executive is (i) assigned to a position other than Executive Vice President and General Counsel of the Company (other than any such assignment for Cause or by reason of Disability) without the Executive’s consent, (ii) assigned duties materially inconsistent with such position (other than any such assignment for Cause or by reason of Disability) without the Executive’s consent, and such assignment is not rectified within 15 business days after written notice to the Company, (iii) transferred to a geographic location of employment more than 30 miles from the current location of employment without the Executive’s consent, (iv) directed to report to anyone other than the Chief Executive Officer, without the Executive’s consent or (v) the Company materially breaches any material term of this Agreement; provided that no breach of this Agreement by the Company shall be deemed to constitute “Good Reason” unless the Executive provides the Board with written notice specifying in reasonable detail the alleged breach and such breach is not cured within 30 days after the date of such notice.

(f) Release. In order to receive the payment(s) provided for in this Section 5, Executive must execute and deliver to the Company a release substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

6. DEATH. If the Executive dies during the term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Executive’s estate a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) the Executive’s Accrued Compensation, plus (ii) the product of (x) the Board’s good faith estimated annual Bonus for the fiscal year during which the death occurs based on the performance of the Company at the time of death and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole and partial months in the fiscal year in which the death occurs through the date of death, and the denominator of which is 12. In addition, the death benefits payable by reason of the Executive’s death under any retirement, deferred compensation or other employee benefit plan maintained by the Company shall be paid to the beneficiary designated by the Executive in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan or plans.

7. WITHHOLDING. The Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to withhold and deduct from any payment hereunder any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any such payment.

8. PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Executive agrees that he will keep all confidential and proprietary information of the Company or relating to its

business (including, but not limited to, information regarding the Company’s customers, pricing policies, methods of operation, proprietary computer programs and trade secrets) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) confidential, and that he will not (except with the Company’s prior written consent), while in the employ of the Company or at any time thereafter, disclose any such confidential information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity, other than in furtherance of his duties hereunder, and then only to those with a “need to know.” The Executive shall not make use of any such Confidential Information for his own purposes or for the benefit of any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity (except the Company) under any circumstances during or at any time after the term of his employment. The foregoing shall not apply to any information which is already in the public domain, or is generally disclosed by the Company or is otherwise in the public domain at the time of disclosure, except if such information is in the public domain as a result of the Executive’s actions in contravention of this Section 8.

In the event that the Executive is requested or required by judicial, legislative or regulatory process to disclose any Confidential Information, the Executive will provide the Company with commercially reasonable notice of any such request or requirement so that the Company may seek a protective order, seek to narrow the scope of the disclosure sought or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this agreement. The Executive agrees to provide commercially reasonable assistance to the Company at the Company’s sole expense in seeking a protective order or other remedy, if requested by the Company. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained and, based on the advice of counsel, Executive determines disclosure is required, the Executive may make such disclosure without liability under this Agreement provided that the Executive may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required, and to a commercially reasonable extent, the Executive shall give the Company notice of the information to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as practicable and, the Executive shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that confidential treatment will be accorded to all such disclosed information.

The Executive recognizes that because his work for the Company will bring him into contact with confidential and proprietary information of the Company, the restrictions of this Section 8 are required for the reasonable protection of the Company and its investments and for the Company’s reliance on and confidence in the Executive.

9. PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN ACTIVITIES. In consideration of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Executive hereby covenants and agrees that he will not, for a period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending three (3) years (the “Restricted Period”) after such Executive’s Termination Date, except in the event that the Executive’s Termination Date occurs after the second anniversary of the date hereof, in which case, the Restricted Period shall end two (years) after such Executive’s Termination Date, (i) engage in any business activities for himself or on behalf of any enterprise in any capacity or own any interest in any entity which compete or are competitive with the Company in the business of organizing, establishing, developing, providing or managing radiation therapy services or services ancillary thereto, in any state in which the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and/or any of its joint ventures then operate or has plans to operate as of the Executive’s Termination Date, (ii) interfere or disrupt or

attempt to interfere or disrupt, the relationships between the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and/or joint ventures and any patient, referral source or supplier or other person having business relationships with the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and/or joint ventures, (iii) solicit, induce or hire, or attempt to solicit, induce or hire, any employee of the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and/or joint ventures or (iv) publish or make any disparaging statements about the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or any of their directors, officers or employees, under circumstances where it is reasonably foreseeable that the statements will be made public (the activities described in clauses (i) through (iv) above, collectively, “Prohibited Activities”), Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9 will be of no force and effect for the period (the “Toll Period”) during which the Company fails to make the payments, if any, required under Section 5(b) and such payments are in fact due and payable pursuant to Section 5(b), provided that the Toll Period shall not take effect unless the Executive provides the Board with written notice that such payments are due and payable and the Company does not make such payments within 30 days after the date of such notice. The Executive will be deemed to be engaged in Prohibited Activities if he engages or participates in any entity that engages in Prohibited Activities or becomes affiliated with any person who engages in Prohibited Activities as an employee, officer, director, consultant, advisor, legal counsel, agent, partner, proprietor or other participant; provided, that the ownership of no more than 2 percent of the stock of a publicly traded corporation shall not be deemed participation in or affiliation with an entity or person so long as the Executive has no other connection or relationship with such entity or person.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the termination of this Agreement, the following shall not be deemed Prohibited Activities under clause (i) above: working for a hospital or healthcare system; provided that and only for so long as (i) less than 10% of such hospital or health care system’s revenues relate to radiation therapy services, (ii) such hospital or health care system’s (in addition to any other entity affiliated with such hospital or healthcare system for which such entity and such hospital or health care system’s financial statements are eligible for consolidation) revenues related to the provision of radiation therapy services or services ancillary thereto, in the aggregate, do not exceed $20 million in any fiscal year and (iii) such hospital or healthcare system is not located within 50 miles of a then existing or planned Company radiation treatment center, except for any hospital or health care system located in the Xxx Xxxx Xxxx xxxx xx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx for which the 50 mile restriction shall be reduced to 10 miles.

10. INJUCTIVE RELIEF. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that it would be difficult to fully compensate the Company for damages resulting from the breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in Sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement and accordingly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to temporary and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, to enforce such provisions in any action or proceeding instituted in the United States District Court for the Western District of Florida or in any court in the State of Florida having subject matter jurisdiction. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the Company’s right to claim and recover damages.

It is expressly understood and agreed that although the parties consider the restrictions contained in this Agreement to be reasonable, if a court determines that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction on the activities of the Executive, no such provision of this Agreement shall be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable.

The Executive acknowledges and confirms that (a) the restrictive covenants contained in Sections 8 and 9 hereof are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company, and Holdings’ interests as the purchaser of the Company for substantial consideration and (b) the restrictions contained in Sections 8 and 9 hereof (including without limitation the length of the term of the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof) are not overbroad, overlong, or unfair and are not the result of overreaching, duress or coercion of any kind. The Executive further acknowledges and confirms that his full and faithful observance of each of the covenants contained in Sections 8 and 9 hereof will not cause him any undue hardship, financial or otherwise, and that enforcement of each of the covenants contained herein will not impair his ability to obtain employment commensurate with his abilities and on terms fully acceptable to him or otherwise to obtain income required for the comfortable support of him and his family and the satisfaction of the needs of his creditors. The Executive acknowledges and confirms that his special knowledge of the business of the Company is such as would cause the Company serious injury or loss if he were to use such ability and knowledge to the benefit of a competitor or were to compete with the Company in violation of the terms of Sections 8 and 9 hereof. The Executive further acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 8 and 9 hereof are intended to be, and shall be, for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the Company’s successors and assigns.

If the Executive shall be in violation of any provision of Sections 8 and 9, then each time limitation set forth in the applicable section shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period of time during which such violation or violations occur. If the Company seeks injunctive relief from such violation in any court, then the covenants set forth in Sections 8 and 9 shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency of such proceeding including all appeals by the Executive.

Sections 7 through 17 of this Agreement shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

11. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, sent by telecopy or facsimile (with confirmation of receipt), one day after deposit with a reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) and three days after deposit in the U.S. Mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) to the address set forth below or such other address as the recipient party has previously delivered notice to the sending party.
