Myriad (acting directly or through its Affiliates) shall be responsible for administering compliance with any certificate of creditable coverage requirements of HIPAA or Medicare applicable to the Myriad Welfare Plans with respect to MPI Participants. The Parties hereto agree that neither the Distribution nor any transfers of employment that occur as of the Distribution Date shall constitute a COBRA qualifying event for purposes of COBRA; provided, that, in all events, MPI (acting directly or through its Affiliates) shall assume, or shall have caused the MPI Welfare Plans to assume, responsibility for compliance with the health care continuation coverage requirements of COBRA with respect to those individuals whose employment is transferred directly from the Myriad Group to the MPI Group, as of the Effective Time, to the extent such individual was, as of such transfer of employment, covered under a Myriad Welfare Plan or becomes covered under an MPI Welfare Plan.

STOCK OPTIONS

Section 5.1 Treatment of Outstanding Myriad Options.

(a) Each Myriad Option that is outstanding on the Distribution Date shall, as of the Distribution Date, be converted into an MPI Option and an adjusted Myriad Option (a “Post-Distribution Myriad Option”) in accordance with the succeeding paragraphs of this Section 5.1.

(b) The number of shares subject to the MPI Option shall be equal to the number of shares of MPI Common Stock to which the option holder would be entitled in the Distribution had the shares subject to the Myriad Option represented outstanding shares of Myriad Common Stock as of the Record Date, the resulting number of shares subject to the MPI Option being rounded down to the nearest whole share. The per share exercise price of the MPI Option shall be equal to the product of (1) the per share exercise price of the Myriad Option immediately prior to the Distribution Date (the “Pre-Distribution Myriad Option Price”) multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Initial MPI Stock Price and the denominator of which shall be the Pre-Distribution Myriad Stock Price. The number of shares subject to the Post-Distribution Myriad Option shall be equal to the number of shares subject to the Myriad Option immediately prior to the Distribution Date. The per share exercise price of the Post-Distribution Myriad Option shall be equal to the product of (1) the Pre-Distribution Myriad Option Price multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Post-Distribution Myriad Stock Price and the denominator of which shall be the Pre-Distribution Myriad Stock Price. With respect to each Post-Distribution Myriad Option and MPI Option, the aggregate spread of such option shall not exceed the aggregate spread of the relevant Myriad Option from which it was converted, and the ratio of the exercise price to the fair market value of the shares subject to the Post-Distribution Myriad Option or MPI Option, as the case may be, immediately after the conversion shall not be greater than the ratio of the exercise price to the fair market value of the shares subject to the relevant Myriad Option immediately before the conversion and all other requirements of Section 409A shall be met in order to ensure that no modification is deemed to occur under Section 409A with respect to any Post-Distribution Myriad Option or MPI Option.

(c) Prior to the Distribution Date, Myriad shall take all actions necessary to provide that, effective as of the Distribution Date, for purposes of the Post-Distribution Myriad Options (including in determining exercisability and the post-termination exercise period), an MPI Employee’s continuous service with the MPI Group (including applicable successors) following the Distribution Date shall be deemed continuous service with Myriad. MPI shall issue each MPI Option under the MPI Stock Plan with terms such that, except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and conditions applicable to the MPI Options shall be substantially similar to the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Myriad Option, including the terms and conditions relating to vesting and the

post-termination exercise period and including a provision to the effect that, for purposes of the MPI Options, continuous service with the Myriad Group or MPI Group (in each case, including applicable successors) from and after the Distribution Date shall be deemed to constitute service with MPI.

(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, the MPI Options and the Post-Distribution Myriad Options shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the underlying Myriad Options as in effect immediately prior to the Distribution Date (taking into account changes in the identity of the employer, including for purposes of determining whether a change in control has occurred).

(e) Upon the exercise of an MPI Option, regardless of the holder thereof, the exercise price shall be paid to (or otherwise satisfied to the satisfaction of) MPI in accordance with the terms of the MPI Option, and MPI shall be solely responsible for the issuance of MPI Common Stock, for ensuring the collection of the employee portion of all applicable withholding tax on behalf of the employing entity of such holder, and for ensuring the remittance of such withholding taxes to the employing entity of such holder. Upon the exercise of a Post-Distribution Myriad Option, regardless of the holder thereof, the exercise price shall be paid to (or otherwise satisfied to the satisfaction of) Myriad in accordance with the terms of the Post-Distribution Myriad Option, and Myriad shall be solely responsible for the issuance of Myriad Common Stock, for ensuring the collection of the employee portion of all applicable withholding tax on behalf of the employing entity of such holder and for ensuring the remittance of such withholding taxes to the employing entity of such holder.

Section 5.2 Cooperation and Special Award Terms. Each of the Parties shall establish an appropriate administration system in order to handle in an orderly manner exercises of Post Distribution Myriad Options and MPI Options. Each of the Parties will work together to unify and consolidate all indicative data and payroll and employment information on regular timetables and make certain that each applicable entity’s data and records in respect of such awards are correct and updated on a timely basis. The foregoing shall include employment status and information required for tax withholding/remittance, compliance with trading windows and compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws. Each of the parties shall honor the terms of any agreement entered into on or before the Distribution Date with any employee of another party insofar as such agreement provides for accelerated vesting or the extension of the term of any Myriad Options.

Section 5.3 SEC Registration. The Parties mutually agree to use reasonable best efforts to maintain effective registration statements with the SEC with respect to the Post Distribution Myriad Options and MPI Options.

Following the Distribution Date, Myriad and MPI shall, or shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, make available to each other those of their employees who may reasonably be needed in order to defend or prosecute any legal or administrative action (other than a legal action between or among any of the Parties) to which any employee, director or Benefit Plan of the Myriad Group or MPI Group is a party and which relates to their respective Benefit Plans prior to the Distribution. The Party to whom an employee is made available in accordance with this Section 8.6 shall pay or reimburse the other Party for all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such employee in connection therewith, including all reasonable travel, lodging, and meal expenses, but excluding any amount for such employee’s time spent in connection herewith.

Section 8.7 Beneficiary Designation/Release of Information/Right to Reimbursement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, including, without limitation, the privacy and security requirements of HIPAA, and except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, all beneficiary designations, authorizations for the release of information and rights to reimbursement made by or relating to MPI Participants under Myriad Benefit Plans shall be transferred to and be in full force and effect under the corresponding MPI Benefit Plans and Myriad Benefit Plans until such beneficiary designations, authorizations or rights are replaced or revoked by, or no longer apply, to the relevant MPI Participant.
