Chief Operating Officer Appointment
AdaptHealth
Corp. (the “Company”) announced today that Toby Scott Barnhart, age 56, has been appointed to serve as the Chief Operating
Officer of the Company, effective as of September
23, 2024 (the “Start Date”).
Since September 2022, Mr. Barnhart has served as the Chief Operating
Officer of Qurate Retail Group (“Qurate”), a world leader in video commerce across linear TV, ecommerce sites, digital streaming
and social platforms. Prior to Qurate, Mr. Barnhart served as president of Global Medical Products & Supply Chain at Cardinal Health
from July of 2018 to December of 2021 and as President, Global Supply Chain & Group Purchasing Organizations at Aramark from April
of 2014 to July of 2018. Mr. Barnhart also held senior supply chain positions at Conagra Brands and Diageo from September 2002 to April
2014. Early in his career, Mr. Barnhart advised other global companies as a consultant at PwC and E&Y. Mr. Barnhart serves on the
Board of Directors of Common Threads. Scott earned his bachelor’s degree from Purdue University and his MBA from the Kellogg School
of Management at Northwestern University. Mr. Barnhart has significant international business leadership experience in global supply chain,
manufacturing, procurement, customer service and product portfolio management at multiple Fortune 500 brands and similarly sized corporations.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Barnhart and
any other person pursuant to which Mr. Barnhart was selected as an officer, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Barnhart
and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. Mr. Barnhart does not have any direct or indirect material interest in
any transaction or proposed transaction required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
On August
1, 2024, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Barnhart (the “COO Employment Agreement”) that will
govern the terms of his employment as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company from and after the Start Date. Pursuant to the terms
of the COO Employment Agreement, Mr. Barnhart is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $600,000 and, commencing with the Company’s
2025 fiscal year, is eligible to receive a target annual incentive bonus equal to 100% of his base salary, with the actual bonus ranging
from 0-200% of the target annual incentive bonus based on the achievement of annual company and individual performance objectives for
such fiscal year. For the Company’s 2024 fiscal year, Mr. Barnhart will be eligible for a target annual incentive bonus (the “2024
Target Bonus Amount”) equal to the product of (i) $600,000 multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
days elapsed during the 2024 fiscal year from and after the Start Date and the denominator of which is 366, with the actual bonus payable
in respect of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year determined based upon the achievement of the annual company performance objectives
for such fiscal year as previously approved by the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”);
provided, that such actual bonus payable in respect of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year shall not be less than the Target 2024 Bonus
Amount.
As an inducement for Mr. Barnhart to join the Company, effective as
of the Start Date, the Company will grant Mr. Barnhart restricted stock units (“RSUs”) covering a number of shares of the
Company’s common stock with a value of $1,000,000 (determined in a manner consistent with the Company’s historic practices
(the “Inducement RSUs”)), which will vest in equal installments annually over three years, subject to continued employment.
Mr. Barnhart will also be eligible for additional equity awards commencing in 2025 covering a number of shares of the Company’s
common stock with a value of $1,300,000 (determined in a manner consistent with the Company’s historic practices).
Pursuant to the COO Employment Agreement, if Mr. Barnhart’s employment
is terminated (x) by the Company without “cause” or (y) by Mr. Barnhart for “good reason” (as such terms
are defined in the COO Employment Agreement) (either such termination, a “qualifying termination”), subject to his execution
and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and compliance with certain restrictive covenants
(described below), Mr. Barnhart will be entitled to (i) any earned but unpaid annual bonus in respect of any completed fiscal year
that has ended prior to the date of such termination, (ii) continued payment of base salary for a period of 18 months following such
date of termination, (iii) an amount equal to 1.5 times his then-current target annual bonus, payable in substantially equal installments
during the 18-month period following such date of termination in accordance with regular payroll practices, (iv) to the extent then-unvested,
continued vesting of the Inducement RSUs during the 18-month period following termination without regard to a continued employment requirement,
and (v) 18 months’ continuation of health insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA at the same rate which applies for active employees.
If Mr. Barnhart’s employment is terminated by the Company without
cause within the 24-month period following a “change in control” (as such term defined in the COO Employment Agreement), all
then-outstanding and unvested equity awards held by Mr. Barnhart will vest as of the date of such termination, with awards subject to
performance-vesting conditions vesting based on actual performance through the termination date (or, at target performance if not determinable),
subject to his execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and compliance with
certain restrictive covenants.
In connection with the COO Employment Agreement, Mr. Barnhart also
entered into a restrictive covenant agreement, which includes a non-compete covenant that applies during employment and for 18 months
thereafter, non-solicit covenants that apply during employment and for 24 months thereafter, and indefinite confidentiality, non-disparagement,
publicity, and invention assignment covenants.
The foregoing description of the COO Employment Agreement is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of the COO Employment Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated
by reference herein.
Shaw Rietkerk Transition Agreement
As
previously disclosed, on August 19, 2024, the Company announced that Shaw Rietkerk will transition to a new position as the Company’s
Chief Business Officer effective on or before September 23, 2024 (the “Transition
Date”), following which Mr. Rietkerk will no longer serve as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. The Company and Mr. Rietkerk
have agreed that Mr. Rietkerk will serve as Chief Business Officer of the Company from the Transition Date until March 31, 2025 (the “Scheduled
Separation Date”) or such earlier date on which Mr. Rietkerk’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause
(as defined in the Offer Letter (as defined below)) (the “Separation Date,” and the period from the Transition Date through
the date on which Mr. Rietkerk’s employment is terminated, the “Transition Period”).
In connection with foregoing, the Company entered
into a transition agreement with Mr. Rietkerk, dated August 21, 2024 (the “Transition Agreement”), pursuant to which
Mr. Rietkerk will continue to provide services and his expertise to the Company during the Transition Period. Pursuant to the Transition
Agreement, Mr. Rietkerk agreed to waive his right to receive the 2024 target annual cash bonus opportunity and the contractual severance
set forth in his Offer Letter with the Company, dated August 3, 2020 (as amended on September 22, 2023 and December 18, 2023) (the “Offer
Letter”). In consideration of the foregoing, provided that Mr. Rietkerk performs his duties in good faith during the Transition
Period, does not voluntarily resign and is not terminated by the Company for cause prior to the Scheduled Separation Date, as of the Separation
Date, Mr. Rietkerk is entitled to (i) an amount equal to $750,000, (ii) subsidized COBRA coverage at the active employee rate for the
twelve (12) month period following the Separation Date, and (iii) continued vesting in his then-outstanding equity awards granted pursuant
to the Plan (as defined below) through the Scheduled Separation Date. Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, provided that Mr. Rietkerk
does not voluntarily resign and is not terminated by the Company for cause prior to the Scheduled Separation Date, the parties further
agreed to treat Mr. Rietkerk’s separation as a termination by the Company without “cause” as of the Separation Date
for purposes of any outstanding equity awards granted pursuant to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Incentive
Plan or any predecessor thereof (the “Plan”) and that his then-outstanding equity awards will be treated in accordance with
the terms of the Plan. Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, Mr. Rietkerk has provided the Company with a general release of claims (subject
to customary exceptions, including for rights to indemnification protection, vested benefits and benefits pursuant to the Transition Agreement)
which will be reaffirmed on or following the Separation Date and has reaffirmed the restrictive covenants set forth in the Restrictive
Covenant Agreement that he executed on August 3, 2020 in favor of the Company and its affiliates.
The foregoing description of the Transition Agreement
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transition Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto
and incorporated by reference herein.

benefit plan providing for severance or similar benefits), in accordance with the terms contained therein.
(c)

course of Executive’s employment hereunder, (ii) failure or refusal by Executive to perform in any material respect Executive’s
duties or responsibilities, (iii) misappropriation (or attempted misappropriation) by Executive of any assets or business opportunities

expected to have, an adverse impact on the performance of Executive’s duties to the Company or any other member of the Company
Group or otherwise result in material injury to the reputation or business of the Company or any other member of the Company Group, (vi) any
material violation by Executive of the policies of the Company or any other member of the Company Group, including but not limited to
those relating to sexual harassment or business conduct, and those otherwise set forth in the manuals or statements of policy of the

covenant agreement between Executive and a member of the Company Group (including the Restrictive Covenant Agreement), (viii) an
act or omission of Executive that is intended to result in material injury to the business, property, operations, financial conditions
or reputation of the Company or any other member of the Company Group, or (ix) Executive’s failure to reasonably cooperate,
if requested by the Company, with any investigation or inquiry into Executive’s or the Company’s business practices (in each

be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.
Acceptance and Term.
The

the actual employer of record with all governmental agencies and may be responsible for fulfilling all or any portion of the Company’s
payroll and benefit obligations under this Agreement. The Term shall commence on the Start Date and shall continue until terminated as
provided in Section 8 hereof.
Section 3.
Position, Duties, and Responsibilities; Place of Performance.
(a)
Position, Duties, and Responsibilities. During the Term, Executive shall be employed and serve as the Chief Operating Officer
of the Company (together with such other position or positions consistent with Executive’s title as the Board shall specify from
time to time), shall have such duties and responsibilities commensurate with such title, and shall report to the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive’s position is considered “exempt” for purposes of the Fair Labor
Standards Act. Executive also agrees to serve as an officer and/or director of the Company and/or any other member of the Company Group,
in each case without additional compensation, if requested at any time during the Term.
(b)
Performance. Executive shall devote Executive’s full business time, attention, skill, and best efforts to the performance
of Executive’s duties under this Agreement and shall not engage in any other business or occupation during the Term, including,
without limitation, any activity that (x) conflicts with the interests of the Company or any other member of the Company Group,
(y) interferes with the proper and efficient performance of Executive’s duties for the Company, or (z) interferes with
Executive’s exercise of judgment in the Company’s best interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude
Executive from (i) serving as a member of the boards of directors of up to one non-competing publicly-traded businesses and up to
three privately-held businesses; provided, that Executive’s service does not create a conflict of interest, (ii) engaging
in charitable activities and community affairs, and (iii) managing Executive’s personal investments and affairs; provided,
however, that the activities set out in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) shall be limited by Executive so as not to materially interfere,
individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder. Executive will be
subject to all rules, policies, procedures and handbooks applicable to employees at the Company generally or at Executive’s level
or in Executive’s position. The Company reserves the right to amend, modify, reduce, discontinue, or terminate any or all policies
and benefits.
(c)
Principal Place of Employment. Executive’s principal place of employment shall be remotely at Executive’s primary
residence in Miami, Florida, although Executive will be expected to work from current and future office locations of the Company Group
from time to time (and in no event shall the requirement to work from any Company Group locations consistent with this expectation result
in Executive having Good Reason hereunder). Executive understands and agrees that Executive may also be required to travel from time
to time for business reasons.
Section 4.
Compensation.
During the Term, Executive
shall be entitled to the following compensation:
(a)
Base Salary. Executive shall be paid an annualized Base Salary, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices
of the Company, of not less than $600,000, with increases, if any, as may be approved in writing by the Compensation Committee.
(b)
Annual Bonus. Executive shall be eligible for an annual incentive bonus award determined by the Compensation Committee
in respect of each fiscal year during the Term (the “Annual Bonus”). For the Company’s 2024 fiscal
year, Executive will be eligible for an Annual Bonus in an amount (the “Target 2024 Bonus Amount”) equal to
the product of (i) $600,000 multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed during the 2024
fiscal year from and after the Start Date and the denominator of which is 366, with the actual Annual Bonus payable in respect of the
Company’s 2024 fiscal year determined based upon the achievement of the annual Company performance objectives for such fiscal year
as previously approved by the Compensation Committee; provided, that such actual Annual Bonus payable in respect of the Company’s
2024 fiscal year shall not be less than the Target 2024 Bonus Amount. The target Annual Bonus for each fiscal year (commencing with the
Company’s 2025 fiscal year) shall be one hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s Base Salary for the fiscal year in which the
Annual Bonus is attributed to (the “Target Annual Bonus”), with the actual Annual Bonus payable in respect
of any fiscal year ranging from zero percent (0%) to two hundred percent (200%) of the Target Annual Bonus based upon the level of achievement
of annual Company Group and individual performance objectives for such fiscal year, as determined by the Compensation Committee and communicated
to Executive. The Annual Bonus shall be paid to Executive at the same time as annual bonuses are generally payable to other senior executives
of the Company subject to Executive’s continuous employment through the payment date except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement.
(c)
Inducement Equity Award. As an inducement for Executive to enter into employment with the Company, Executive shall, as
of the Start Date, be granted restricted stock units (the “Inducement RSUs”) covering a number of shares of
the Company’s common stock with a value on the date of grant of $1,000,000 (determined using the twenty (20)-trading day volume
weighted average price as of the date immediately prior to the Start Date consistent with the Company’s historic practices). The
Inducement RSUs will be granted pursuant to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and/or
restated from time to time (the “Equity Plan”) (or, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, outside
of the Equity Plan in reliance on Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) but subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Plan as if they were
granted thereunder) and an award agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Compensation Committee. The Inducement RSUs will vest
in three (3) substantially equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the Start Date subject to Executive’s
continuous employment through the applicable vesting date (except as otherwise provided below).
(d)
Future Equity Plan Eligibility. Executive shall be eligible to receive additional grants pursuant to the Equity Plan or
any successor thereto commencing in 2025. Any such grants shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the current intent of the Compensation Committee is to provide Executive with annual grants
covering a number of shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of $1,300,000, with the number of shares subject to each
such award being determined using the twenty (20)-trading day volume weighted average price as of the date immediately prior to the applicable
date of grant, but nothing herein shall entitle Executive to any specific award or any specific terms or conditions in any year. If Executive’s
employment is terminated by the Company (or any successor thereof) without Cause in connection with, or within two (2) years following,
the consummation of a Change in Control all then-outstanding and unvested equity awards granted to Executive prior to the consummation
of such Change in Control (including the Inducement RSUs) will vest in connection with such termination (with any awards that vested
based on the achievement of specified performance objectives vesting based on actual performance through the date of termination, as
determined by the Compensation Committee, or, if not determinable, at target performance), subject to Executive’s execution of
a separation agreement that includes an irrevocable general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Company, that becomes effective within sixty (60) days following such termination and Executive’s continued compliance
with the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.
Section 5.
Employee Benefits.
During
the Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in health, insurance, retirement, and other benefits provided generally to similarly
situated executive employees of the Company. Executive shall also be entitled to the same number of holidays, vacation days, and
sick days, as well as any other benefits, in each case as are generally allowed to similarly situated executive employees of the Company
in accordance with the Company policy as in effect from time to time. Executive will also participate in the Company’s Results-Driven
Time-Off Program pursuant to which senior executives of the Company are permitted to schedule and use time off as needed, subject to
business requirements, without any limitation as to the number of days. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit the Company’s
ability to amend, suspend, or terminate any employee benefit plan or policy at any time without providing Executive notice, and the right
to do so is expressly reserved.
Section 6.
Key-Man Insurance.
At any time during the Term,
the Company shall have the right to insure the life of Executive for the sole benefit of the Company, in such amounts, and with such
terms, as it may determine. All premiums payable thereon shall be the obligation of the Company. Executive shall have no interest in
any such policy, but agrees to cooperate with the Company in procuring such insurance by submitting to physical examinations, supplying
all information required by the insurance company, and executing all necessary documents, provided that no financial obligation is imposed
on Executive by any such documents.
Section 7.
Reimbursement of Business Expenses.
During the Term, the Company
shall pay (or promptly reimburse Executive) for documented, out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Executive in the course of
performing Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, which are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect
from time to time with respect to business expenses, subject to the Company’s requirements with respect to reporting of such expenses.
Section 8.
Termination of Employment.
(a)
General. The Term shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) Executive’s death, (ii) a termination
by reason of a Disability, (iii) a termination by the Company with or without Cause, and (iv) a termination by Executive with
or without Good Reason. Upon any termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, except as may otherwise be requested by
the Company in writing and agreed upon in writing by Executive, Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from any and all directorships,
committee memberships, and any other positions Executive holds with the Company or any other member of the Company Group and hereby agrees
to execute any documents that the Company (or any member of the Company Group) determines necessary to effectuate such resignations.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment (or commencement of a series of payments) hereunder of any “nonqualified
deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) upon a termination of employment shall be delayed
until such time as Executive has also undergone a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h), at
which time such nonqualified deferred compensation (calculated as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder)
shall be paid (or commence to be paid) to Executive on the schedule set forth in this Section 8 as if Executive had undergone such
termination of employment (under the same circumstances) on the date of Executive’s ultimate “separation from service.”
(b)
Termination Due to Death or Disability. Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s
death. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment immediately upon the occurrence of a Disability, such termination to be
effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice of such termination. Upon Executive’s death or in the event that Executive’s
employment is terminated due to Executive’s Disability, Executive or Executive’s estate or Executive’s beneficiaries,
as the case may be, shall be entitled to:
(i)
The Accrued Obligations; and
(ii)
Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect of any completed fiscal year that has ended prior to the date of such termination, which amount
shall be paid at such time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, but in no event later than the date that
is two and one-half (2½) months following the last day of the fiscal year in which such termination occurred.
Following
Executive’s death or a termination of Executive’s employment by reason of a Disability, except as set forth in this Section 8(b),
Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.
(c)
Termination by the Company with Cause.
(i)
The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time with Cause, effective upon Executive’s receipt of written
notice of such termination; provided, however, that with respect to any Cause termination relying on clause (ii) or (vi)
of the definition of Cause set forth in Section 1(g) hereof, to the extent that such act or acts or failure or failures to act are
curable, Executive shall be given not less than twenty (20) days’ written notice by the Board of the Company’s intention
to terminate Executive with Cause, such notice to state in detail the particular act or acts or failure or failures to act that constitute
the grounds on which the proposed termination with Cause is based, and such termination shall be effective at the expiration of such
twenty (20) day notice period, unless Executive has, in the Board’s reasonable and good faith determination, fully cured such act
or acts or failure or failures to act that give rise to Cause during such period.
(ii)
In the event that the Company terminates Executive’s employment with Cause, Executive shall be entitled only to the Accrued
Obligations. Following such termination of Executive’s employment with Cause, except as set forth in this Section 8(c)(ii),
Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.
(d)
Termination by the Company without Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time without Cause,
effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice of such termination. In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated
by the Company without Cause (other than due to death or Disability), Executive shall be entitled to:
(i)
The Accrued Obligations;
(ii)
Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect of any completed fiscal year that has ended prior to the date of such termination, which amount
shall be paid at such time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, but in no event later than the date that
is two and one-half (2½) months following the last day of the fiscal year in which such termination occurred;
(iii)
Continued payment of the Base Salary during the Severance Term, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll
practices;
(iv)
An amount equal to one and a half (1.5) times Executive’s then-Target Annual Bonus, payable in substantially equal installments
on each regularly scheduled payroll date of the Company during the Severance Term;
(v)
If such termination occurs prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Start Date, continued vesting in the Inducement
RSUs during the Severance Term without regard to any continued employment requirement (it being understood and agreed that all other
unvested equity awards will be forfeited upon such termination except as provided pursuant to clause (vi) below); and
(vi)
To the extent permitted by applicable law without any penalty to Executive or any member of the Company Group and subject to Executive’s
timely election of COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plan, on the first regularly scheduled payroll
date of each month of the Severance Term, the Company will pay directly to or on behalf of Executive an amount equal to the “applicable
percentage” of the monthly COBRA premium cost. For purposes hereof, the “applicable percentage” shall
be the percentage of the health care premium costs covered by the Company for active executive officers determined as of the date of
Executive’s termination of employment.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the payments and benefits described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), and (vi) above shall immediately terminate, and
the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive with respect thereto, in the event that Executive breaches any provision of
the Restrictive Covenant Agreement. Following such termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause, except as
set forth in this Section 8(d), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive’s sole and exclusive remedy upon a termination of employment by the Company without
Cause shall be receipt of the Severance Benefits.
(e)
Termination by Executive with Good Reason. Executive may terminate Executive’s employment with Good Reason by providing
the Company twenty (20) days’ written notice setting forth in reasonable specificity the event that constitutes Good Reason, which
written notice, to be effective, must be provided to the Company within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such event. During such
twenty (20) day notice period, the Company shall have a cure right (if curable), and if not cured within such period, Executive’s
termination will be effective upon the expiration of such cure period, and Executive shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits
as provided in Section 8(d) hereof for a termination by the Company without Cause, subject to the same conditions on payment and
benefits as described in Section 8(d) hereof. Following such termination of Executive’s employment by Executive with Good
Reason, except as set forth in this Section 8(e), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits
under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive’s sole and exclusive remedy upon a termination of employment with Good
Reason shall be receipt of the Severance Benefits.
(f)
Termination by Executive without Good Reason. Executive may terminate Executive’s employment without Good Reason
by providing the Company thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination. In the event of a termination of employment by Executive
under this Section 8(f), Executive shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. In the event of termination of Executive’s
employment under this Section 8(f), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice accelerate such date
of termination without changing the characterization of such termination as a termination by Executive without Good Reason. Following
such termination of Executive’s employment by Executive without Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 8(f), Executive
shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.
(g)
Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the payment of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant
to subsection (b), (d), or (e) of this Section 8 (other than the Accrued Obligations) (collectively, the “Severance
Benefits”) shall be conditioned upon Executive’s execution, delivery to the Company, and non-revocation of the Release
of Claims (and the expiration of any revocation period contained in such Release of Claims) within sixty (60) days following the date
of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder. If Executive fails to execute the Release of Claims in such a timely manner
so as to permit any revocation period to expire prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period, or timely revokes Executive’s acceptance
of such release following its execution, Executive shall not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits. Further, (i) to the extent
that any of the Severance Benefits constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of
the Code, any payment of any amount or provision of any benefit otherwise scheduled to occur prior to the sixtieth (60th)
day following the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder, but for the condition on executing the Release of Claims
as set forth herein, shall not be made until the first regularly scheduled payroll date following such sixtieth (60th) day
and (ii) to the extent that any of the Severance Benefits do not constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for
purposes of Section 409A of the Code, any payment of any amount or provision of any benefit otherwise scheduled to occur following
the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder, but for the condition on executing the Release of Claims as set forth
herein, shall not be made until the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the date the Release of Claims is timely executed
and the applicable revocation period has ended, after which, in each case, any remaining Severance Benefits shall thereafter be provided
to Executive according to the applicable schedule set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a termination due to
Executive’s death or Disability, Executive’s obligations herein to execute and not revoke the Release of Claims may be satisfied
on Executive’s behalf by Executive’s estate or a person having legal power of attorney over Executive’s affairs.
Section 9.
Restrictive Covenant Agreement.
As
a condition of, and prior to commencement of, Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall have executed and delivered
to the Company the Restrictive Covenant Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the Restrictive
Covenant Agreement shall be considered separate contracts, and the Restrictive Covenant Agreement will survive the termination of this
Agreement for any reason.
Section 10.
Representations and Warranties of Executive.
Executive
represents and warrants to the Company that —
(a)
Executive is entering into this Agreement voluntarily and that Executive’s employment hereunder and compliance with the
terms and conditions hereof will not conflict with or result in the breach by Executive of any agreement to which Executive is a party
or by which Executive may be bound;
(b)
Executive has not (i) violated, and in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company will not violate, any
non-solicitation, non-competition, notice or other similar covenant or agreement (whether written or oral) of a prior employer by which
Executive is or may be bound, or (ii) engaged in any conduct or made any representations that could result in a court of competent
jurisdiction granting a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order against Executive commencing, or continuing, Executive’s
employment with the Company;
(c)
Executive has not retained, and has returned, all confidential or proprietary information Executive may have obtained in connection
with employment with any prior employer and, in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company (and service to the Company
Group), Executive will not use any confidential or proprietary information Executive may have obtained in connection with employment
with any prior employer;
(d)
Executive (i) is not aware of any reason why Executive’s hiring by, or work for, the Company could cause any damage to the
Company’s reputation, (ii) is not subject to any disciplinary action while employed by (or providing services to) any former employer
(or other entity) that could reasonably be expected to cause any damage to the Company’s reputation, and (iii) is not aware of
any on-going investigation or cause of action by any regulatory, self-regulatory or other governmental authority involving acts or omissions
of Executive or any of Executive’s direct reports at any former employer (or other entity); and
(e)
Executive has not engaged in any illegal conduct (including, without limitation, violations of any regulatory or self-regulatory
agency rules or regulations) during the course of Executive’s employment with (or provision of services to) any former employer
(or other entity).
Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the representations and warranties contained in this Section 10 are fundamental to the Company
agreeing to employ Executive, and that the Company (and/or other members of the Company Group) would reasonably be expected to suffer
grave damage should any of Executive’s representations or warranties herein ever prove to have been inaccurate when made.
Section 11.
Taxes; Modified 280G Cutback.
(a) The
Company may withhold from any payments made under this Agreement all applicable taxes, including but not limited to income, employment,
and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law. Executive acknowledges and represents that the Company has not provided any
tax advice to Executive in connection with this Agreement and that Executive has been advised by the Company to seek tax advice from
Executive’s own tax advisors regarding this Agreement and payments that may be made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, including
specifically, the application of the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to such payments.
(b) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any payment that is either received by Executive or paid by
the Company Group on Executive’s behalf or any property, or any other benefit provided to Executive under this Agreement or under
any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company Group or any other person whose payments or benefits are treated as contingent
on a change of ownership or control of the Company (or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company) or any
person affiliated with the Company or such person (but only if such payment or other benefit is in connection with Executive’s
employment by the Company Group) (collectively the “Company Payments”), will be subject to the tax imposed
by Section 4999 of the Code (and any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority), then Executive will be entitled
to receive either (i) the full amount of the Company Payments, or (ii) a portion of the Company Payments having a value equal to $1 less
than three (3) times Executive’s “base amount” (as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(3)(A) of the Code),
whichever of clauses (i) and (ii), after taking into account applicable federal, state, and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed
by Section 4999 of the Code, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest portion of the Company Payments.
Any determination required under this Section 11(b) shall be made in writing by the independent public accountant of the Company (the
“Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes upon the Company and Executive.
The Accountants shall conduct (or have conducted), and take into account, a “reasonable compensation” (within the meaning
of Q&A-9 and Q&A-40 to Q&A-44 of the final regulations under Section 280G of the Code) analysis of the value of services
provided or to be provided by Executive, including any agreement by Executive (if applicable) to refrain from performing services pursuant
to a covenant not to compete or similar covenant applicable to Executive that may then be in effect (including, without limitation, the
covenants set forth in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement). The Company will pay for the analysis and determination of the application
of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. If there is a reduction of the Company Payments pursuant to this Section 11(b), such reduction
shall occur in the following order: (A) any cash severance payable by reference to Executive’s Base Salary or Annual Bonus,
(B) any other cash amount payable to Executive, (C) any employee benefit valued as a “parachute payment,” and (D)
acceleration of vesting of any outstanding equity award.
Section 12.
Set Off; Mitigation; Clawback.
(a)
The Company’s obligation to pay Executive the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall be
subject to set-off, counterclaim, or recoupment of amounts owed by Executive to the Company or its affiliates; provided, however,
that to the extent any amount so subject to set-off, counterclaim, or recoupment is payable in installments hereunder, such set-off,
counterclaim, or recoupment shall not modify the applicable payment date of any installment, and to the extent an obligation cannot be
satisfied by reduction of a single installment payment, any portion not satisfied shall remain an outstanding obligation of Executive
and shall be applied to the next installment only at such time the installment is otherwise payable pursuant to the specified payment
schedule.
(b)
Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement by seeking
other employment or otherwise, and the amount of any payment or benefit provided for pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced
by any compensation earned as a result of Executive’s other employment or otherwise.
(c)
Any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement are subject to recoupment in accordance with the Company’s Policy for the
Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, any other clawback policy adopted by the Company and any compensation recovery policy otherwise
required by applicable law. The Company will make any determinations for clawback or recovery in its sole discretion and in accordance
with any applicable law or regulation.
Section 13.
Additional Section 409A Provisions.
Notwithstanding any provision
in this Agreement to the contrary—
(a)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit provided to Executive in connection with
a termination of employment is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Code and Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i) of the Code,
then such payment or benefit shall not be paid until the first payroll date to occur following the six-month anniversary of Executive’s
termination date (the “Specified Employee Payment Date”) or, if earlier, on the date of Executive’s death.
The aggregate of any payments that would otherwise have been paid before the Specified Employee Payment Date shall be paid to Executive
in a lump sum on the Specified Employee Payment Date and thereafter, any remaining payments shall be paid without delay in accordance
with their original schedule.
(b)
Each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the
Code.
(c)
To the extent that any right to reimbursement of expenses or payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes nonqualified
deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by the
Company no later than the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Executive, (ii)
the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) the amount
of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year; provided, that the foregoing clause shall not be violated
with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject
to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect.
(d)
While the payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the implication of any penalty
taxes under Section 409A of the Code, in no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for any additional
tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on Executive as a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing
to comply with Section 409A of the Code (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if
any, under Section 409A of the Code).
Section 14.
Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
(a)
The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its respective successors and assigns. Neither
this Agreement nor any of the rights, obligations, or interests arising hereunder may be assigned by the Company to a Person (other than
another member of the Company Group, or its or their respective successors) without Executive’s prior written consent (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned); provided, however, that in the event of a sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company or any direct or indirect division or subsidiary thereof to which Executive’s employment primarily
relates, the Company may provide that this Agreement will be assigned to, and assumed by, the acquiror of such assets, it being agreed
that in such circumstances, Executive’s consent will not be required in connection therewith.
(b)
Executive. Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be transferable by Executive by assignment
or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that if Executive shall die, all amounts
then payable to Executive hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee,
or other designee, or if there be no such designee, to Executive’s estate.
(c)
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8(b) or Section 14(b) hereof, nothing
expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Company, the other members of the Company
Group, and Executive any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this
Agreement.
Section 15.
Waiver and Amendments.
Any waiver, alteration, amendment,
or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto;
provided, however, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification must be consented to on the Company’s
behalf by the Board. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with
respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as
a continuing waiver.

Severability.
If any covenants or such
other provisions of this Agreement are found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction,
(a) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, and (b) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof

Exhibit A
RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AGREEMENT
As a condition of my becoming
employed by AdaptHealth Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and in consideration of my employment
with the Company and my receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me by the Company, I agree to the following:
Section 1.
Confidential Information.
a)
Company Group Information. I acknowledge that, during the period of my employment with the Company and its direct and indirect
parents, subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) I will have access to information
about the Company Group and that my employment with the Company Group shall bring me into close contact with confidential and proprietary
information of the Company Group. In recognition of the foregoing, I agree, at all times during the period of my employment with the
Company Group (the “Employment Period”) and thereafter, to hold in confidence, and not to use, except for the
benefit of the Company Group, or to disclose to any Person (as defined in Section 6(c)(vi) below) without prior written authorization
of the Company, any Confidential Information that I obtain or create. I further agree not to make copies of such Confidential Information
except as authorized by the Company. I understand that “Confidential Information” means information that the
Company Group has developed, acquired, created, compiled, discovered, or owned or will develop, acquire, create, compile, discover, or
own, that has value in or to the business of the Company Group. I understand that Confidential Information includes, but is not limited
to, any and all non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business and/or products, research, or development of
the Company Group, or to the Company Group’s technical data, trade secrets, or know-how, including, but not limited to, research,
product plans, or other information regarding the Company Group’s products or services and markets, customer lists, and customers
(including, but not limited to, customers of the Company Group on whom I called or with whom I may become acquainted during the Employment
Period), software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration
information, marketing, finances, and other business information disclosed by the Company Group either directly or indirectly in writing,
orally, or by drawings or inspection of premises, parts, equipment, or other Company Group property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential
Information shall not include (i) any of the foregoing items that have become publicly and widely known through no unauthorized disclosure
by me or others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved or (ii) any information that I am required
to disclose to, or by, any governmental or judicial authority, or pursuant to compulsory legal process; provided, however,
that in such event, whenever legally permissible I will give the Company prompt written notice thereof so that the Company Group may
seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive in writing compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Restrictive Covenant
Agreement (this “Agreement”).
b)
Former Employer Information. I represent that my performance of all of the terms of this Agreement as an employee of the
Company Group has not breached and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge, or data acquired
by me in confidence or trust prior or subsequent to the commencement of my employment with the Company Group, and I will not disclose
to any member of the Company Group, or induce any member of the Company Group to use, any developments, or confidential or proprietary
information or material I may have obtained in connection with employment with any prior employer in violation of a confidentiality agreement,
nondisclosure agreement, or similar agreement with such prior employer. During the Employment Period, I will not improperly make use
of, or disclose, any developments, or confidential or proprietary information or material of any prior employer or other third party,
nor will I bring onto the premises of the Company Group or use any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any prior employer
or other third party, in violation of any lawful agreements with that prior employer or third party. I will use in the performance of
my duties only information that is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to my own, is common knowledge
in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or is otherwise provided or developed by the Company Group.
c)
Third Party Information. I understand that the Company Group has received and in the future may receive from third parties
confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on the Company Group’s
part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. In recognition of the foregoing,
I agree, at all times during the Employment Period and thereafter, to hold in confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than
Company Group personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company Group), and not to use, except
for the benefit of the Company Group, Third Party Information without the express prior written consent of an officer of the Company
and otherwise treat Third Party Information as Confidential Information.
d)
Whistleblower; Defend Trade Secrets Act Disclosure.
i.
In addition, I understand that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit me from (A) filing a charge or complaint
with, participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by, or reporting possible violations of law or regulation to any federal,
state or local government agency, (B) truthfully responding to or complying with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or
(C) exercising any rights I may have under applicable labor laws to engage in concerted activity with other employees.
ii.
Under the U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) (the “Act”), persons who disclose
trade secrets in connection with lawsuits or other proceedings under seal (including lawsuits alleging retaliation), or in confidence
to a federal, state or local government official, or attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation
of law, enjoy immunity from civil and criminal liability under state and federal trade secrets laws for such disclosure. I acknowledge
that I have hereby received adequate notice of this immunity, such that the Company is entitled to all remedies available for violations
of the Act, including exemplary damages and attorney fees. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with the Act or create
liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by the Act.
iii.
Notice. “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or state trade secret law for
the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a Federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely
for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable
under any Federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed
in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer
for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information
in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and does not disclose the trade
secret, except pursuant to court order.”
Section 2.
Inventions.
a)
No Prior Developments. By signing below, I represent that there are no developments, inventions, concepts, know-how, original
works of authorship, improvements, trade secrets, methodology, algorithms, software, processes, formulas, designs, drawings and other
technological advancements and implementations that I can demonstrate were created or owned by me prior to the commencement of the Employment
Period, which belong solely to me or belong to me jointly with another, that relate in any way to any of the actual or proposed businesses,
products, or research and development of any member of the Company Group and which are not assigned to the Company hereunder.
b)
Assignment of Inventions. Without additional compensation, I agree to assign, and hereby do assign, to the Company all
rights, title and interest throughout the world in and to all Inventions (as defined below) which I may solely or jointly conceive, create,
invent, develop, modify, compile or reduce to practice, at any time during any period during which I perform or performed services for
the Company Group both before or after the date hereof (the “Assignment Period”), whether as an officer, employee,
director, independent contractor, consultant, or agent, or in any other capacity, whether or not during regular working hours, provided
they either (i) relate at the time of conception, development or reduction to practice to the business of any member of the Company
Group, or the actual or anticipated research or development of any member of the Company Group; (ii) result from or relate to any
work performed for any member of the Company Group; or (iii) are developed through the use of equipment, supplies, or facilities
of any member of the Company Group, or any Confidential Information, or in consultation with personnel of any member of the Company Group
(collectively referred to as “Company IP Rights”). I understand that “Inventions” means inventions,
concepts, know-how, developments, original works of authorship, improvements, trade secrets, methodology, algorithms, software, processes,
formulas, designs, drawings and other technological advancements and implementations. I agree that I will promptly make full written
disclosure to the Company of any Company IP Rights I participate in conceiving, creating, inventing, developing, modifying, compiling
or reducing to practice during the Assignment Period. I further acknowledge that, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law,
all Company IP Rights made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the Assignment Period are “works
made for hire” for which I am, in part, compensated by my salary, unless regulated otherwise by law. If any Company IP Rights cannot
be assigned, I hereby grant to the Company Group an exclusive, assignable, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, sublicenseable (through
one or multiple tiers), royalty-free, unlimited license to use, make, modify, sell, offer for sale, reproduce, distribute, create derivative
works of, publicly perform, publicly display and digitally perform and display such work in any media now known or hereafter known. Outside
the scope of my service, whether during or after the Employment Period, I agree not to (i) modify, adapt, alter, translate, or create
derivative works from any such work of authorship or (ii) merge any such work of authorship with other Company IP Rights. To the
extent rights related to paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal (collectively, “Moral Rights”) may
not be assignable under applicable law and to the extent the following is allowed by the laws in the various countries where Moral Rights
exist, I hereby irrevocably waive such Moral Rights and consent to any action of the Company Group that would violate such Moral Rights
in the absence of such consent.
c)
Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Company IP Rights made
by me (solely or jointly with others) during the Assignment Period. The records may be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, flow
charts, electronic data or recordings, and any other format. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company
Group at all times. I agree not to remove such records from the Company’s place of business except as expressly permitted by Company
Group policy, which may, from time to time, be revised at the sole election of the Company Group for the purpose of furthering the business
of the Company Group.
d)
Intellectual Property Rights. I hereby agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in
every way to secure the rights of the Company Group in the Company IP Rights and any copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks,
database rights, domain names, mask work rights, moral rights, and other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all
countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications,
specifications, oaths, assignments, recordations, and all other instruments that the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for,
obtain, maintain, and transfer such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company Group the sole and exclusive right, title,
and interest in and to such Company IP Rights, and any intellectual property and other proprietary rights relating thereto. I further
agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue
after the Assignment Period until the expiration of the last such intellectual property right to expire in any country of the world;
provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse me for my reasonable expenses incurred in connection with carrying
out the foregoing obligation. If the Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or unavailability for any other reason
to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations
covering Company IP Rights or original works of authorship assigned to the Company as above, then I hereby irrevocably designate and
appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact to act for and in my behalf and stead
to execute and file any such applications or records and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the application for, prosecution,
issuance, maintenance, and transfer of letters patent or registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if originally
executed by me. I hereby waive and irrevocably quitclaim to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, that I now or hereafter
have for past, present, or future infringement of any and all proprietary rights assigned to the Company.
e)
State Non-assignable Invention Exemptions. Solely to the extent that I (i) was or am an employee of the Company and
(ii) was or am based in California, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Washington or any other state that has enacted laws concerning
employee non-assignability of inventions or otherwise entitled to the benefits of the state statutes of California, Illinois, Kansas,
Minnesota, Washington or any other state that has enacted laws concerning employee non-assignability of inventions, during the Employment
Period, then, to the extent the assignment of Company IP Rights to the Company in this Section 2 can be construed to cover inventions
excluded under the appropriate state statutes (including, but not limited to, California Labor Code Sec. 2870, Illinois Employee Patent
Act, 765 ILCS 1060, Kansas Statute K.S.A. § 44-130, Minn. Stat. § 181.78, and Sec. 2, Revised Code of Washington
Section 49.44.140(1), the full terms of each are incorporated herein by reference), this Section 2 shall not apply to such
inventions.
Section 3.
Returning Company Group Documents.
I agree that, at the time
of termination of my employment with the Company Group for any reason, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my possession,
recreate, or deliver to anyone else) any and all Confidential Information, Third Party Information and all other documents, materials,
information, and property developed by me pursuant to my employment or otherwise belonging to the Company Group and, if so requested,
will certify in writing that I have fully complied with the foregoing obligation. I agree further that I will not copy, delete, or alter
any information contained upon my Company Group computer or Company Group equipment before I return it to the Company. In addition, if
I have used any personal computer, server, or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare or transmit any Company Group information,
including but not limited to, Confidential Information, I agree to provide the Company with a computer-useable copy of all such Company
Group information and then permanently delete and expunge such Company information from those systems; and I agree to provide the Company
access to my system as reasonably requested to verify that the necessary copying and/or deletion is completed. I agree further that any
property situated on the Company Group’s premises and owned by the Company (or any other member of the Company Group), including
disks and other storage media, filing cabinets, and other work areas, is subject to inspection by personnel of any member of the Company
Group at any time with or without notice.
Section 4.
Disclosure of Agreement.
As long as it remains in
effect, I will disclose the existence of this Agreement to any prospective employer, partner, co-venturer, investor, or lender prior
to entering into an employment, partnership, or other business relationship with such person or entity. I also consent to the notification
of my prospective employer, partner, co-venturer, investor, or lender of my rights and obligations under this Agreement, by the Company
providing a copy of this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 5.
Publicity.
I hereby consent to any and
all uses and displays by the Company Group of my name, voice, likeness, image, appearance and biographical information (my “Likeness”)
in or in connection with any printed, electronic or digital materials, including, without limitation, any pictures, audio or video recordings,
digital images, websites, television programs, advertising, sales or marketing brochures, printed materials and computer media, throughout
the world and at any time during the Employment Period for all legitimate business purposes of the Company Group (the “Permitted
Use”) (and for a reasonable period (not to exceed ninety (90) days following the Employment Period) as may be necessary
for the Company Group to produce reasonably acceptable replacement materials that do not contain my Likeness (such reasonable period
being the “Transition Period”)). I hereby forever release the Company Group and each of their respective current
or former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, representatives and agents from any and all claims, actions, damages, losses,
costs, expenses and liability of any kind arising under any legal or equitable theory whatsoever at any time during the Employment Period
and the Transition Period in connection with any Permitted Use. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company Group shall not use my Likeness
in or in connection with any printed, electronic or digital materials provided to unaffiliated third-parties following the end of the
Transition Period without my written consent or as may be required by applicable law.
Section 6.
Restrictive Covenants.
a)
Non-Competition. During the Non-Compete Period, I shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any person,
company, enterprise, or entity, or as a sole proprietor, partner, shareholder, director, officer, principal, agent, employee or executive,
or in any other capacity or relationship, engage in any Competitive Activities, within the United States or any other jurisdiction in
which the Company Group is actively engaged in business.
b)
Non-Interference. During the Non-Interference Period, I shall not, directly or indirectly for my own account or for the
account of any other individual or entity, engage in Interfering Activities.

I transacted business, or whose identity became known to me in connection with my relationship with or employment by the Company.
(ii)

business and any other business activity that is competitive with the then-current or demonstrably planned business activities of the
Company Group.

to encourage, solicit, or induce, any Person employed by, or providing consulting services to, any member of the Company Group and who
is or is likely to be in possession of Confidential Information to terminate such Person’s employment or services (or in the case
of a consultant, materially reducing such services) with the Company Group; (B) hiring any individual who was employed by the Company
Group within the six (6) month period prior to the date of such hiring; or (C) encouraging, soliciting, or inducing, or in any manner

of the Company Group.

(18) month anniversary of the date on which the Employment Period terminates.

or defamatory comments regarding any member of the Company Group or its respective current or former directors, officers, employees or
shareholders in any respect or make any comments concerning any aspect of my relationship with any member of the Company Group or any
conduct or events which precipitated any termination of my employment from the Company Group. However, my obligations under this subsection
(d) shall not apply to disclosures required by applicable law, regulation, or order of a court or governmental agency. Further, nothing
in this Agreement prohibits me from speaking with law enforcement, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, any state or local division
of human rights or fair employment agency, or my attorney. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent me from having good faith,
candid business conversations within the Company regarding any aspect of the Company’s business, operations, performance, or personnel
during the Employment Period.
Section 7.
Reasonableness of Restrictions.
I acknowledge and recognize
the highly competitive nature of the Company Group’s business, that access to Confidential Information renders me special and unique
within the Company Group’s industry, and that I will have the opportunity to develop substantial relationships with existing and
prospective clients, accounts, customers, consultants, contractors, investors, and strategic partners of the Company Group during the
course of and as a result of my employment with the Company Group. In light of the foregoing, I recognize and acknowledge that the restrictions
and limitations set forth in this Agreement are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects and
are essential to protect the value of the business and assets of the Company Group. I acknowledge further that the restrictions and limitations
set forth in this Agreement will not materially interfere with my ability to earn a living following the termination of the Employment
Period and that my ability to earn a livelihood without violating such restrictions is a material condition to my employment with the
Company Group.
Section 8.
Independence; Severability; Blue Pencil.
Each of the rights enumerated
in this Agreement shall be independent of the others and shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available
to the Company Group at law or in equity. If any of the provisions of this Agreement or any part of any of them is hereafter construed
or adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement, which shall be given full effect
without regard to the invalid portions. If any of the covenants contained herein are held to be invalid or unenforceable because of the
duration of such provisions or the area or scope covered thereby, I agree that the court making such determination shall have the power
to reduce the duration, scope, and/or area of such provision to the maximum and/or broadest duration, scope, and/or area permissible
by law, and in its reduced form said provision shall then be enforceable.
Section 9.
Injunctive Relief.
I
expressly acknowledge that, because my services are personal and unique and because I will have access to Confidential Information, any
breach or threatened breach of any of the terms and/or conditions set forth in this Agreement may result in substantial, continuing,
and irreparable injury to the members of the Company Group for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, I hereby
agree that, in addition to any other right or remedy that may be available to the Company in law or in equity, any member of the Company
Group shall be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief by a court of appropriate jurisdiction
in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the terms of this Agreement without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury
as a result of such breach or threatened breach or posting a bond and without liability should relief be denied, modified or vacated.
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, I acknowledge and agree that the Non-Compete Period and the Non-Interference Period
shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of the covenants in Section 6 hereof and during any other period required
for litigation during which the Company or any other member of the Company Group seeks to enforce such covenants against me if it is
ultimately determined that I was in breach of such covenants. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9 shall be construed
as a waiver by me of any defense available to me under applicable law with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement.
Section 10.
Cooperation.
I agree that, following any
termination of my employment, I will continue to provide reasonable cooperation to the Company and/or any other member of the Company
Group and its or their respective counsel in connection with any investigation, administrative proceeding, or litigation relating to
any matter that occurred during the Employment Period in which I was involved or of which I have knowledge. As a condition of such cooperation,
the Company shall reimburse me for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred at the request of the Company with respect to my compliance
with this Section. I also agree that, in the event that I am subpoenaed by any person or entity (including, but not limited to, any government
agency) to give testimony or provide documents (in a deposition, court proceeding, or otherwise) that in any way relates to my employment
by the Company and/or any other member of the Company Group that if legally permissible, I will give prompt notice of such request to
the Company and will make no disclosure until the Company and/or the other member of the Company Group has had a reasonable opportunity
to contest the right of the requesting person or entity to such disclosure.
Section 11.
General Provisions.
a)

PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND IS TO BE CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE
AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES. FURTHER, I HEREBY CONSENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION

in my duties, obligations, rights, or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.
c)

employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause, is specifically reserved.
d)
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, and other legal representatives

all of the assets or stock of the Company or of any business or division of the Company for which I provide services, whether by purchase,

TRANSITION, SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
This Transition, Separation
and Release Agreement (this “Agreement”), delivered on August 15, 2024 (the “Offer Date”),
confirms the following understandings and agreements between AdaptHealth Corp. (the “Company”) and Shaw
Rietkerk (hereinafter referred to as “you” or “your”).
WHEREAS, the parties entered
into that certain Offer Letter, dated August 3, 2020 (as amended on September 22, 2023 and December 18, 2023, the “Offer
Letter”), pursuant to which you currently serve as the Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) of the
Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, with the Company, the “Company Group”);
WHEREAS, you agree to resign
from your role as COO, effective on the date determined by the Company which shall occur on or prior to September 30, 2024 (the effective
date of such resignation being, the “Transition Date”), but remain employed by the Company in the new role of
Chief Business Officer (“CBO”) commencing on the Transition Date until your separation date, effective as of
the close of business on March 31, 2025 (the “Scheduled Separation Date”), or such earlier date as contemplated
by this Agreement (the date on which your employment terminates, whether on the Scheduled Separation Date or earlier, is referred to herein
as the “Separation Date”); and
WHEREAS, the parties agree
that, on your Separation Date, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2(d) of this Agreement, the circumstances of your termination
of employment with the Company will be deemed a termination by the Company without “Cause” for purposes of any outstanding
equity awards granted pursuant to the AdaptHealth Corp. Second Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Incentive Plan or any predecessor thereto
(the “Plan”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are mutually acknowledged, you and the Company hereby agree as follows:
1. Opportunity for Review; Acceptance.
(a) You
have until September 5, 2024 (the “Review Period”), to review and consider this Agreement. To accept this
Agreement, and the terms and conditions contained herein, prior to the expiration of the Review Period, you must execute and date this
Agreement where indicated below and return the executed copy of this Agreement to Jonathan Bush, General Counsel (the “Company
Representative”) by email at jonathan.bush@adapthealth.com. You acknowledge that, to the extent that there are changes
made to the terms of this Agreement, whether they are material or immaterial, the Review Period will not recommence.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement will not become effective or enforceable for a period of seven (7) calendar
days following the date of your execution of this Agreement (the “Revocation Period”), during which time
you may revoke your acceptance of this Agreement by notifying the Company Representative, in writing, as specified above. To be effective,
such revocation must be received by the Company Representative no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the seventh (7th) calendar
day following your execution of this Agreement. Provided that this Agreement is executed during the Review Period and you do not revoke
it during the Revocation Period, the eighth (8th) day following the date on which this Agreement is executed and delivered
to the Company Representative shall be its effective date (the “Effective Date”). If you fail to execute
and deliver this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Review Period, you revoke this Agreement during the Revocation Period, you
fail to timely execute and deliver the Reaffirmation, or you revoke the Reaffirmation prior to the seventh (7th) calendar
day following its execution, this Agreement will be null and void and of no effect, and neither the Company nor any other member of the
Company Group will have any obligations hereunder, provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Restrictive Covenants (as defined
below) to which you are bound will continue to remain in full force and effect.
2. Employment Status; Transition Period; Transition Period Compensation.
(a) Employment Status through the Separation Date. You acknowledge and agree that you will no longer serve in the role of COO,
effective as of the Transition Date. You further acknowledge and agree that your employment with the Company Group will terminate effective
as of the close of business on the Separation Date. You will not represent yourself as being an employee, officer, agent, or representative
of any member of the Company Group after the Separation Date. During the period between the Transition Date and the Separation Date (the
“Transition Period”), you will continue to be paid your annual base salary at the current rate of $500,000 per
annum in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, and continue to participate in all employee benefit plans and
other programs or arrangements sponsored by or through the Company and any other member of the Company Group in which you are eligible
to participate (the “Benefit Plans”); provided, that, in exchange for your right to receive the
Consideration and the Equity Treatment (each as defined below), you agree to waive your right to receive payment of your target annual
cash bonus opportunity in respect of the 2024 fiscal year (the “2024 Target Bonus”). During the Transition Period,
you will (i) serve as the Company’s Chief Business Officer, reporting directly to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer,
and have such duties and responsibilities typically associated with such position, (ii) devote your full business time, attention,
skill and best efforts to the performance of your duties in a manner consistent with past practices, (iii) not engage in any other
business activities or occupations, and (iv) not engage in any conduct that would give rise to Cause (as defined in the Offer Letter).
You hereby confirm your resignations from all offices, directorships, trusteeships, committee memberships and fiduciary and other capacities
held with, or on behalf of, the Company Group effective as of the Separation Date and your execution of this Agreement will be deemed
the grant by you to the officers of the Company of a limited power of attorney to sign in your name and on your behalf any such documentation
as may be required to be executed solely for the limited purposes of effectuating such resignations. You agree that within five (5) business
days following the Separation Date, you will update your accounts or profiles on any social media platform (including, but not limited
to, Facebook, X (f/k/a Twitter, and LinkedIn)) to reflect that you are no longer actively employed by the Company.
(b) Accrued
Benefits. You will be paid for (i) all of your earned but unpaid salary through the Separation Date on or prior to the Company’s
next regularly scheduled payroll date on or following the Separation, or earlier to the extent otherwise required by applicable law,
(ii) your accrued but unused vacation as of the Separation Date to the extent required by the Company’s policies, and (iii) any
business expenses incurred prior to the Separation Date and properly submitted in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures
within ten (10) days following the Separation Date (the “Accrued Benefits”).
(c)
Separation Benefits. In consideration of your release and waiver of claims set forth in Section 3 below and in the reaffirmation
of this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Reaffirmation”), and subject to
your execution, delivery and non-revocation of this Agreement and continued compliance with this Agreement, including but not limited
to Sections 2(a), 11, 12, and 13 hereof, and in lieu of your right to receive the 2024 Target Bonus and the severance benefits to
which you would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the Offer Letter, provided that your employment is not terminated by you
or by the Company for Cause prior to the Scheduled Separation Date and you perform your duties during the Transition Period in good faith,
you will be entitled to the following separation benefits (the “Consideration”):
(i)
payment of an amount equal to $750,000, payable in a single lump sum on the first regular payroll date following the Reaffirmation
Effective Date (as defined in Exhibit A);
(ii) subject
to your timely election of COBRA continuation coverage after the Separation Date and payment of your premiums associated with such COBRA
continuation coverage, payment of a subsidy by the Company on your behalf to the Company Group’s health plans (the “COBRA
Subsidy”), during the twelve-month period following the Separation Date (the “COBRA Severance Term”),
so that, after giving effect to the COBRA Subsidy, you shall receive COBRA continuation coverage at the same rate that active, eligible
employees pay for such coverage during the COBRA Severance Term; subject to the same coverage limits, deductibles, co-insurance provisions,
and other terms and conditions applicable to you as of the Separation Date, with your contribution to such plan to be paid by you in
the same period (e.g., monthly, bi-weekly, etc.) as all other employees of the Company Group; and
(iii) all of your then-outstanding equity awards will remain outstanding and continue to vest through the Scheduled Separation Date.
(d) Treatment
of Equity Awards. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any of your outstanding equity award agreements to the contrary, provided
that your employment is not terminated by you or by the Company for Cause prior to the Scheduled Separation Date and you perform your
duties during the Transition Period in good faith, and subject to your execution, delivery and non-revocation of the Reaffirmation, you
will be deemed to have experienced a Termination (as defined in the Plan) by the Company without Cause as of the Separation Date for
all purposes under the Plan and any then-outstanding equity awards (the “Equity Treatment”).
(e) Deferral
of Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any amount would otherwise have
been payable as a result of Section 2(c) above following the Separation Date but prior to the Reaffirmation Effective Date, such amount
shall not be paid until the first regular payroll date following the Reaffirmation Effective Date.
(f)
Full Discharge. You acknowledge and agree that you have agreed to waive your right to receive any severance benefits set forth
in the Offer Letter and your 2024 Target Bonus in exchange for the Consideration and the Equity Treatment and that the payments and other
benefits provided pursuant to this Section 2 are in full discharge of any and all liabilities and obligations of the Company or any other
member of the Company Group to you, monetarily or with respect to employee benefits or otherwise, including but not limited to any and
all obligations arising under the Offer Letter, any other alleged written or oral employment agreement, policy, plan or procedure of the
Company or any other member of the Company Group and/or any alleged understanding or arrangement between you and the Company or any other
member of the Company Group (other than claims for accrued and vested benefits under an employee benefit, insurance, or pension plan of
the Company or any other member of the Company Group (excluding any severance or similar plan or policy), subject to the terms and conditions
of such plan(s)). You further hereby acknowledge that if you voluntarily terminate your employment or your employment is terminated by
the Company for Cause during the Transition Period, you will forfeit your right to any payments, other than the Accrued Benefits, as set
forth in this Section 2.
(g)
Taxes. All amounts provided hereunder, including without limitation, the payment of the Consideration, are subject to withholding
for all applicable taxes, including but not limited to income, employment, and social security taxes, as shall be required by applicable
law.

undertakings, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, debts, accounts, attorneys’ fees, judgments, losses, and liabilities,

terminate the employment of employees. You intend the release contained herein to be a general release of any and all claims to the fullest
extent permissible by law and for the provisions regarding the release of claims against the Company Parties to be construed as broadly
as possible, and hereby incorporate in this release similar federal, state, or other laws, all of which you also hereby expressly waive.

an interest and such other records and documents reasonably necessary for tax-preparation purposes or as may be expressly approved by
