THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AND NON-COMPETITION

AGREEMENT

This THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is effective as of March 10, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Addus HealthCare, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the “Company”), and R. Dirk Allison, an individual domiciled in the State of Texas (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, the Company, its parent and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Addus HealthCare Group”) provide home care, home health and hospice services.

WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Employment and Non-Competition Agreement dated November 5, 2018, which amended an Amended and Restated Employment and Non-Competition Agreement dated April 25, 2017, which amended the Executive’s original Employment and Non-Competition Agreement dated February 29, 2016 (the “Original Date”) (the “Original Agreement”), and the parties hereto desire to enter this Agreement to secure the Executive’s continued employment, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

WHEREAS, by virtue of the Executive’s employment by the Company pursuant to the terms hereof, the Executive will obtain and become familiar with certain valuable confidential and proprietary information relating to the Addus HealthCare Group, its customers and employees.

WHEREAS, the Company desires to protect the goodwill and all proprietary rights and information of the Addus HealthCare Group.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.

Effectiveness; Term of Employment.

 

  (a)

This Agreement shall automatically become effective on the Effective Date.

 

  (b)

The Company hereby employs the Executive, and the Executive hereby accepts employment by the Company, for the period commencing as of the Original Date and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date, or on such earlier date as provided pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Present Employment Term”). At the end of the Present Employment Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms (each, as may be earlier terminated pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, an “Additional Employment Term” and, together with the Present Employment Term, as may be earlier terminated pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the “Employment Term”), unless either party provides notice to the other of its or his intention not to renew this Agreement at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Present Employment Term or any Additional Employment Term (a “Non-Renewal”). During the Employment Term, the Executive shall (i) devote substantially all of his professional time, loyalty and efforts to discharge his duties hereunder on a timely basis; (ii) use his best efforts to loyally and diligently serve the business and affairs of the Addus HealthCare Group; and (iii) endeavor in all respects to promote, advance and further the Addus HealthCare Group’s interests in all matters. The parties agree that the provision should not be construed as limiting Executive’s right to serve on boards of, or otherwise engage in activities on behalf of, charitable and civic organizations or other entities that do not compete with the business of the Company and that do not interfere with Executive’s duties hereunder in any material respect.

2.

Employment Duties.

During the Employment Term, the Company will employ the Executive as its President and Chief Executive Officer, a senior executive position that reports directly to the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Addus HomeCare Corporation (“Addus HomeCare”). The Executive’s principal duties and responsibilities shall be to oversee and direct the operations of the Addus HealthCare Group including the management, marketing and delivery of home care and hospice services and the performance of such other executive duties and responsibilities as may be assigned to him by the Board of Directors and are consistent with the Executive’s position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 

3.

Compensation.

The Company will pay the Executive as follows during the Employment Term:

 

  (a)

Base Salary. The Company shall pay the Executive a base salary at the annual rate of One Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,100,000), which shall be paid in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company and shall be subject to applicable withholdings and deductions. Thereafter, the Executive’s base salary shall be subject to review and adjustment upward by the compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors on or about each anniversary of the Effective Date for each year during the Employment Term (as adjusted from time-to-time, the “Base Salary”).

 

  (b)

Incentive Plans. The Executive, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, shall be eligible (but not entitled) to receive an annual bonus in accordance with Exhibit A hereto. The Compensation Committee, at its sole discretion, may determine the amount of the annual bonus, if any, to which the Executive may become entitled based on the quantitative and qualitative factors described on Exhibit A or any other factors the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate from time to time. All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3(b), if any, shall be paid within no more than thirty (30) days after completion of Addus HomeCare’s audited financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year, but in all events, in the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the performance occurred, and shall be subject to applicable withholdings and deductions. Bonus is not salary and is earned on the day it is paid. To be eligible to receive any cash based or equity based bonus, the Executive must be actively employed and must not have given notice of termination on or prior to such date of payment, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

 

  (c)

Incentive Equity Awards. On the Effective Date, the Executive shall receive an award of 63,500 shares of Restricted Stock (as defined in the Addus HomeCare Corporation Amended & Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan), which shares shall vest one-hundred percent (100%) on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to provisions for early vesting set forth in the grant agreement for such shares of Restricted Stock.

4.

Expenses.

It is recognized that the Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder will be required to expend sums for travel (e.g., airfare, automobile rental, etc.), entertainment and lodging. During the Employment Term, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable business expenses incurred by him during the Employment Term in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder conditioned upon and subject to the Company’s established policies and procedures, including written receipt from the Executive of an itemized accounting in accordance with the Company’s regular business expense verification practices. Such policies shall also be in effect for frequent travel by the Executive to the Company’s Corporate Center which it is agreed shall be as needed and commensurate with the Executive’s duties and responsibilities during his employment hereunder; such time spent onsite at the Corporate Center may vary from time to time depending on the Executive’s tenure and the results of the Company.

 

5.

Benefits.

During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to benefits under such plans, programs or arrangements as the Board of Directors may establish or maintain from time to time for similarly-situated employees, and in accordance with its policies, which may change at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. Benefits as of the Effective Date are:

 

  (a)

Four (4) weeks paid vacation during each year of employment. Subject to the Company’s established policies and procedures, vacation may be carried over to a subsequent year of employment, not to exceed eight (8) weeks during any calendar year of employment.

  (e)

Short-term and long-term disability insurance beginning on the Original Date to the same extent and according to the same terms as the Company’s other similarly-situated executives are covered, which may change, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, from time to time.

 

  (f)

Tuition reimbursement shall be available for courses relevant to the Executive’s position and taken at an accredited institution, subject to prior approval by the Board of Directors.

 

  (g)

6.

  (i)

A material breach or omission by the Executive of any of his duties or obligations under this Agreement (except due to Disability, as defined below) that the Executive shall fail to cure after receipt of written notice of such breach or omission from the Board of Directors, which notice shall designate a reasonable period of time, if curable at all, of not less than ten (10) days within which the breach or omission must be cured to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors in order to prevent a termination for Reasonable Cause; provided, however, that the Executive shall only be permitted the opportunity to cure such breaches or omissions a total of two times in any twelve (12)-month rolling period;

The Executive shall fail to perform any material duty in a timely and effective manner and shall fail to cure any such performance deficiency after receipt of written notice of the deficiency from the Board of Directors, which notice shall designate a reasonable period of time, if curable at all, of not less than ten (10) days within which the performance deficiency must be cured to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors, as applicable, in order to prevent a termination for reasonable cause; provided, however, that the Executive shall only be permitted the opportunity to cure performance deficiencies a total of two times in any twelve (12)-month rolling period.

  (b)

The Executive’s employment hereunder shall be terminated in the event of his death, and the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder if the Executive suffers a physical or mental disability (a “Disability”) so that the Executive is or, in the opinion of an independent physician retained by the Company for purposes of this determination will be, unable to perform his duties in a manner satisfactory to the Company for a period of ninety (90) days out of any one hundred eighty (180) consecutive-day period (in which event the Executive shall be deemed to have suffered a permanent Disability).

 

  (c)

The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time for any other reason, or for no reason.

 

  (d)

Termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason shall terminate the Employment Term but shall not affect the Executive’s obligations pursuant to Section 9 hereof, which obligations shall remain in effect for the period therein provided.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Base Cash Compensation” shall mean the highest annual Base Salary in effect for the Executive.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 6(c) or by the Executive pursuant to Section 7(a) or as a result of Non-Renewal by the Company, in each case within six (6) months prior to, or one (1) year following, a Change in Control (as defined below), the Executive shall be entitled to, in lieu of the payments to be made pursuant to Section 8(b)(iv), (A) an amount equal to thirty six (36) months of the Executive’s Annual Cash Compensation (as defined below) (subject to applicable withholdings and deductions), less any payment already received pursuant to Section 8(b)(iv) (“Change of Control Severance Pay” and, together with Base Severance Pay, “Severance Pay”), which shall be payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company in equal installments on the Company’s regular pay dates over the twenty-four (24) month period following the date of the termination of the Executive’s employment, (B) any unpaid bonus for a completed performance period that the Executive would have earned had he remained employed through date of payment, as determined by the Company and paid at the same time bonuses are paid to other senior executives based upon the actual performance of the Company, and (C) the Executive shall be eligible to receive after-tax cash payments equal to the difference between the premiums for COBRA continuation coverage that would be available to Executive and the amount of premiums paid by similarly-situated active employees of the Company under the Company’s health, dental and/or vision insurance plans (calculated as of the first calendar month following Executive’s termination and then multiplied by 36 months), payable in equal installments on the Company’s regular pay dates (subject to applicable tax withholdings and deductions) until two (2) years following the termination of the Executive’s employment.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Annual Cash Compensation” shall mean the sum of (a) the highest annual Base Salary in effect for the Executive and (b) the greater of (i) the Executive’s bonus for the most recently-completed year (excluding any special bonuses awarded for performance after the conclusion of the performance period), if any, or (ii) the annualized amount of the Executive’s target bonus for the then current year.

 

  (d)

The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s obligations to make payments pursuant to Sections 8(b)(iv) and 8(c) above are expressly conditioned on the Executive timely executing, delivering and not revoking a customary general release in form and substance satisfactory to the Company within the period that is sixty (60) days following the date of the Executive’s termination of employment or service with the Company. To the extent that such sixty (60) day period spans two (2) calendar years, no payment of any severance amount or benefit that is (i) considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Code §409A”) and (ii) conditioned upon the release, shall be made before the first day of the second calendar year, regardless of when the release is actually executed and returned to the Company.

 

  (e)

If the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason, the Executive shall, at the Company’s request, immediately resign from all officer and director positions with each member of the Addus HealthCare Group, including from the Board of Directors.

  (c)

Non-Disclosure. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that he will have access to certain confidential and proprietary information of Addus HealthCare Group, including, but not limited to, Trade Secrets (as defined below) and other proprietary commercial information, and that such information constitutes valuable, special and unique property of Addus HealthCare Group. The Executive agrees that he will not, for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except in the performance of his duties hereunder, or as required by law, disclose any of such confidential information to any person, entity or governmental authority without express authorization of the Company. The Executive further agrees that he shall not, at any time during the Employment Term or thereafter, without the express prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever, either on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity that he manages, controls, participates in, consults with, renders services for or is employed by or associated with, disclose or use, except when necessary to further the interests of the Business, any Trade Secret of the Addus HealthCare Group,

  whether such Trade Secret is in the Executive’s memory or embodied in writing or other physical form. For purposes of this Agreement, “Trade Secret” means any information, not generally known to, and not readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use and is the subject of efforts to maintain its secrecy that are reasonable under the circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) trade secrets; (ii) information concerning the business or affairs of the Addus HealthCare Group, including its products or services, fees, costs, and pricing structures, charts, manuals and documentation, databases, accounting and business models, designs, analyses, drawings, photographs and reports, computer software, copyrightable works, inventions, devices, new developments, methods and processes, whether patentable or unpatentable and whether or not reduced to practice, sales records and other proprietary commercial information; (iii) information concerning actual and prospective clients and customers of the Addus HealthCare Group, including client and customer lists and other compilations; and (iv) information concerning employees, contractors and vendors of the Addus HealthCare Group, including personal information and information concerning the compensation or other terms of employment of such individuals. “Trade Secret,” however, shall not include general “know-how” information acquired by the Executive during the course of his employment that could have been obtained by him from public sources without the expenditure of significant time, effort and expense. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9(c) to the contrary, nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from making a good-faith, truthful report to a government agency with oversight responsibility of the Company.

 

  (d)

Covenant Regarding Confidential and Proprietary Information. The Executive will promptly disclose in writing to the Company each improvement, discovery, idea, invention, and each proposed publication of any kind whatsoever, relating to the Business made or conceived by the Executive either alone or in conjunction with others while employed hereunder if such improvement, discovery, idea, invention or publication results from or was suggested by such employment (whether or not patentable and whether or not made or conceived at the request of or upon the suggestion of the Company, and whether or not during his usual hours of work, whether in or about the premises of the Addus HealthCare Group and whether prior or subsequent to the execution hereof). The Executive will not disclose any such improvement, discovery, idea, invention or publication to any person, entity or governmental authority, except to the Company. Each such improvement, discovery, idea, invention and publication shall be the sole and exclusive property of, and is hereby assigned by the Executive to, the Company, and at the request of the Company, the Executive will assist and cooperate with the Company and any person or entity from time to time designated by the Company to obtain for the Company or its designee the grant of any letters patent in the United States of America and/or such other country or countries as may be designated by the Company, covering any such improvement, discovery, idea, invention or publication and will in connection therewith execute such applications, statements, assignments or other documents, furnish such information and data and take all such other action (including, without limitation, the giving of testimony) as the

  Company may from time to time reasonably request. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9(d) shall not apply to any improvement, discovery, idea, invention of publication for which no equipment, supplies, facilities or confidential and proprietary information of Addus HealthCare Group was used and that was developed entirely on the Executive’s own time, unless (x) the improvement, discovery, idea, invention or publication relates to the Business or the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Business, or (y) the improvement, discovery, idea, invention or publication results from any work performed by the Executive for the Addus HealthCare Group.

 

  (e)

Non-Disparagement. The Executive agrees that, during the Employment Term and the Restrictive Period, he will not make any statement, either in writing or orally, that is communicated publicly or is reasonably likely to be communicated publicly and that is reasonably likely to disparage or otherwise harm the business or reputation of the Addus HealthCare Group, or the reputation of any of its current or former directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

 

  (f)

Return of Documents and Other Property. Upon termination of employment, the Executive shall return all originals and copies of books, records, documents, customer lists, sales materials, tapes, keys, credit cards and other tangible property of Addus HealthCare Group within the Executive’s possession or under his control.

 

  (g)

Remedies for Breach. In the event of a breach or threat of a breach of the provisions of this Section 9, the Executive hereby acknowledges that such breach or threat of a breach will cause the Company to suffer irreparable harm and that the Company shall be entitled to request an injunction restraining the Executive from breaching such provisions; but the foregoing shall not be construed as prohibiting the Company from having available to it to any other remedy, either at law or in equity, for such breach or threatened breach, including, but not limited to, the cessation of employment and any remaining Severance Pay and benefits pursuant to Section 8 and the recovery of damages from the Executive and the notification of any employer or prospective employer of the Executive as to the terms and conditions hereof (without limiting or affecting the Executive’s obligations under the other paragraphs of this Section 9).

 

  (h)

Acknowledgment. The Executive acknowledges that he will be directly and materially involved as a senior executive in all important policy and operational decisions of Addus HealthCare Group. The Executive further acknowledges that the scope of the foregoing restrictions has been specifically bargained between the Company and the Executive, each being fully informed of all relevant facts. Accordingly, the Executive acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions of this Section 9 are fair and reasonable, are minimally necessary to protect Addus HealthCare Group, its stockholders and the public from the unfair competition of the Executive who, as a result of his employment with the Company, will have had access to the most confidential and important information of Addus HealthCare Group, its Business and future plans. The Executive furthermore acknowledges that no unreasonable harm or injury will be suffered by him from enforcement of the covenants contained herein and that he will be able to earn a reasonable livelihood following termination of his employment notwithstanding enforcement of the covenants contained herein.

10.

Prior Agreement.

15.

Invalidity of Any Provision.

The provisions of this Agreement are severable, it being the intention of the parties hereto that should any provision hereof be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or enforceability of any provisions shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, but the same shall remain in full force and effect as if such invalid or unenforceable provision or provisions were omitted.

 

16.

409A Compliance.

This Agreement is intended to comply with or be exempt from Code §409A, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance with or exempt from Code §409A. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, a termination of employment with the Company shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of “deferred compensation” (as such term is defined in §409A) upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Code §409A and Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations and, for purposes of any such provision of this agreement, references to a “separation,” “termination,” “termination of employment or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” If the Executive is a specified employee within the meaning of that term under Code §409A, then with regard to any payment that is considered non-qualified deferred compensation under Code §409A and payable on account of a separation from service, such payment shall be made on the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such separation from service, and (ii) the date of the Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”) to the extent required under Code §409A. Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum, and all remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided for in accordance with the normal payment dates specified herein. To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute non-qualified deferred compensation for purposes of Code §409A, (i) all

such expenses or other reimbursements under this Agreement shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by the Executive, (ii) any right to such reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and (iii) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year. For purposes of Code §409A, the Executive’s right to receive any installment payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. In no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes non-qualified deferred compensation for purposes of Code §409A be subject to offset, counterclaim or recoupment by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Code §409A.

 

17.

Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas as applied to agreements entirely entered into and performed in Texas by Texas residents exclusive of the conflict of laws provisions of any other state.

 

18.

Arbitration.

Except as set forth below, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as to arbitrability and any disputes with respect to the Executive’s employment with the Company or the termination of such employment), or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect as of the date of filing of the arbitration administered by a person authorized to practice law in the State of Texas and mutually selected by the Company and the Executive (the “Arbitrator”). If the Company and the Executive are unable to agree upon the Arbitrator within fifteen (15) days, they shall each select an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days, and the arbitrators selected by the Company and the Executive shall appoint a third arbitrator to act as the Arbitrator within fifteen (15) days (at which point the Arbitrator alone shall judge the controversy or claim). The arbitration hearing shall commence within ninety (90) calendar days after the Arbitrator is selected, unless the Company and the Executive mutually agree to extend this time period. The arbitration shall take place in Dallas, Texas. The Arbitrator will have full power to give directions and make such orders as the Arbitrator deems just. Nonetheless, the Arbitrator explicitly shall not have the authority, power, or right to alter, change, amend, modify, add, or subtract from any provision of this Agreement except pursuant to Section 15. The Arbitrator shall issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which the Arbitrator’s award or decision is based within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing. The agreement to arbitrate will be specifically enforceable. The award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final and binding (absent fraud or manifest error), and any arbitration award may be enforced by judgment entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Company and the Executive shall each pay one-half (1/2) of the fees of the Arbitrator. Notwithstanding anything set forth above to the contrary, in the event that the Company seeks injunctive relief and/or specific performance to remedy a breach, evasion, violation or threatened violation of this Agreement, the Executive irrevocably waives his right, if any, to have any such dispute decided by arbitration or in any jurisdiction or venue other than a state or federal court in the State of Texas. For any such action, the Executive further irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Texas.

19.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASSIGNEE, SUCCESSOR, HEIR OR PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF A PARTY SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM, OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS OR THE DEALINGS OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES. NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION, IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED, WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 19 HAVE BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY THE PARTIES HERETO, AND THESE PROVISIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS.
