(e)   Emergency Medical Services Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan

 

On June 24, 2010, the Board of Directors of Emergency Medical Services Corporation (the “Company”) adopted the Emergency Medical Services Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).

 

The Plan is unfunded and is intended to be a nonqualifed deferred compensation plan maintained for a select group of management or key employees.

 

The Plan permits eligible employees of the Company to defer a portion of their annual base salary, all or a portion of their incentive compensation and any refunds of their contributions to the Company’s 401(k) retirement savings plan, on a tax deferred basis. The Plan administrator will be the Deferred Compensation Plan Committee, appointed from time to time by the Company.  In addition to contributions made to accounts by the participants, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Company may award a credit under the Plan to participants’ accounts.

 

Upon voluntary enrollment, each eligible employee will elect the amount of compensation to be deferred, the investment options (to index earnings on the deferred amount), and the time and method of distribution of that employee’s deferred compensation account balance in accordance with the distribution options available under the Plan.  The foregoing summary of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
