copyright registrations covering Inventions assigned to the Company, then Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers as Employee’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in Employee’s behalf to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the application for, prosecution, issuance, maintenance or transfer of letters patent or copyright registrations with the same legal force and effect as if originally executed by Employee.

(f)Limitations. Employee’s assignment of inventions under this Section 4.10 does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on the Employee’s own time, unless:

(i)The invention relates to (1) the business of the Company, or (2) the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or

(ii)The invention results from any work performed by the Employee for the Company.

4.11Enforcement; Remedies: Employee acknowledges that Employee’s expertise in the Business is of a special and unique character which gives this expertise a particular value, and that a breach of Sections 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 or 4.10 by Employee will cause serious and potentially irreparable harm to the Company. Employee therefore acknowledges that a breach of Sections 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 or 4.10 by Employee cannot be adequately compensated in an action for damages at law, and equitable relief would be necessary to protect the Company from a violation of this Agreement and from the harm which this Agreement is intended to prevent. By reason thereof, Employee acknowledges that the Company is entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of this Agreement. Employee acknowledges, however, that no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy may be construed as a waiver of or prohibition against the Company pursuing other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Employee. Employee’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a breach of this Agreement by the Company shall be payment of the severance payments and benefits under Section 4.4. For purposes of Sections 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 or 4.10, “Company” shall specifically include ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. and its direct and indirect parent entities, subsidiaries, successors and assigns.

4.12Prior Agreements. Employee represents and warrants that Employee is not a party to any non-competition agreement or other contractual limitation that would interfere with or hinder Employee’s ability to undertake the obligations and expectations of employment with the Company. Employee represents that Employee’s performance of all of the terms of this Agreement as an employee of the Company has not breached and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge, or data acquired by Employee in confidence or trust prior to the commencement of Employee’s employment with the Company, and Employee will not disclose to the Company, or induce the Company to use, any developments, or confidential information or material Employee 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.

5.0COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. For Employee’s services, the Company agrees to pay Employee compensation following the Effective Date as follows:

5.1Salary: During the Term, compensation equal to an annual salary rate of $490,000 to be paid according to the Company’s general payroll practices as same may exist

-11-

from time to time. For annual periods thereafter, the Compensation Committee shall review and may increase but not decrease Employee’s base compensation.

5.2Annual Incentive Compensation Program: During the Term, Employee shall be eligible for an annual discretionary performance-based bonus of 75% of base compensation at target level of achievement (the “Target Bonus”). This bonus shall be based upon achievement of such objectives established by the Compensation Committee, which may include financial, operational, strategic and personal objectives. Except as expressly provided in Sections 4.3 and 4.4, Employee shall not be entitled to any bonus or other incentive compensation with respect to the calendar year in which Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason.

5.3Long Term Incentive Compensation. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date and in accordance with the Company’s regular schedule, Employee shall be granted a long-term incentive award for 2022 with a grant-date fair market value of $166,666.67, as determined by the Compensation Committee (the “2022 LTIP Award”). The 2022 LTIP Award shall be comprised of a combination of 50% stock options on Company common shares and/or 50% restricted stock units with respect to Company common shares (with the split between stock options and restricted stock units, if any, determined based on the grant date fair market value of such awards, not the number of stock options or restricted stock units granted). Such stock options will vest in three equal tranches on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, and such restricted stock units will vest in three equal tranches on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. The 2022 LTIP Award and all terms and conditions thereof shall be subject to the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and equity award agreements thereunder. Additionally, the Compensation Committee shall grant Employee a long-term incentive award for 2023 with a grant date fair market value of $500,000, with such grant being comprised of a combination of 50% stock options on Company common shares and/or 50% restricted stock units with respect to Company common shares (with the split between stock options and restricted stock units, if any, determined based on the grant date fair market value of such awards, not the number of stock options or restricted stock units granted), subject to vesting conditions determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion after consultation with a compensation consultant. With respect to each year of the Term following 2023, Employee shall be eligible to receive long-term incentive awards on terms and conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion after consultation with a compensation consultant.

5.4Reimbursement of Expenses: During the Term, the Company shall reimburse Employee for any reasonable business expenses incurred by Employee in the ordinary course of the Company’s business in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policies then in effect. All such expenses shall be substantiated by invoices and receipts, to be submitted by Employee within thirty (30) days after incurrence. In addition, Employee shall receive a cell phone allotment in accordance with the Company’s policies then in effect or shall be provided with a Company cell phone, in the Company’s sole discretion, and shall be provided with a Company laptop computer (which shall remain the property of the Company) for use with respect to Company business.

5.5Benefits: During the Term, Employee shall be entitled to receive all benefits of employment generally available to the Company’s other executive employees when and as such benefits, if any, become available and Employee becomes eligible for them, including any vacation and sick leave, medical, dental, life and disability insurance benefits, long term incentive plan, pension plan and/or profit-sharing plan. Additionally, the Company hereby agrees to provide Employee with annual executive physicals and an annual tax planning benefit.

5.6Paid Time Off: During the Term, Employee shall be entitled to paid time off accrued at a level consistent with other employees within your classification, currently .0961

-12-

per hour up to a maximum of 200 hours per year. Employee will use Employee’s reasonable efforts to schedule vacation periods to minimize disruption of the Company’s business. Paid time off that is not utilized within the calendar year does not carry over and is not paid out. The Company will not reimburse Employee for any unused vacation.

5.7Withholding: Employee authorizes the Company to make any and all applicable withholdings of federal and state taxes and other items the Company may be required to deduct, as such items may exist under this Agreement or otherwise from time to time.

6.0CONSIDERATION: Employee acknowledges and agrees that (a) Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) is being paid as specific consideration for this Agreement, to supplement and not replace or eliminate the value and sufficiency of the remaining consideration described herein; (b) the incentive benefits provided to Employee by the Company, including, but not limited to, Employee’s incentive bonus and equity eligibility (Employee’s eligibility and/or receipt of which is conditioned upon Employee executing this Agreement); and (c) the Company’s giving Employee access to its Confidential Information (which Employee will not be provided in the absence of Employee executing this Agreement); together with the other mutual promises and representations of the parties made herein, constitutes valuable consideration paid for the covenants under Section 4.9 which Employee otherwise is not entitled.

7.0SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee, the Company and their respective heirs, successors and assigns, except that Employee shall not have any right to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement, or any of Employee’s rights, duties or any other interest herein to any party without the prior written consent of the Company, and any such purported assignment shall be null and void.

-13-

though such invalid, unenforceable or inoperative part, clause or condition had not been made. In the event that any restrictive covenant under this Agreement shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be taxable currently to Employee under Section 409A(a)(1)(A) of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Company and Employee shall cooperate in good faith to (i) adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that they mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement, and to avoid less-favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Company, and/or (ii) take such other actions as mutually determined to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Code Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder; provided, however, that this Section 24.1 does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to modify this Agreement and does not guarantee that the amounts payable hereunder will not be subject to interest or penalties under Code Section 409A, and 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 Employee as a result of Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

24.2A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Employee’s right to receive installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

24.3If Employee is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at 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” of Employee, and (ii) the date of Employee’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 24.3 (whether they

-16-

would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed on the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period to Employee in a lump sum,and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

24.4With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Code Section 409A, to the extent that any such reimbursements or in-kind benefits constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A, (x) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (y) 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 this clause (y) shall not be violated with regard to any medical expenses subject to a limit as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv)(B), and (z) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred.

The Employee further waives any claims the Employee may have for employment by the Company and agrees not to seek such employment or reemployment by the Company in the future.

Except for obligations created by this Mutual Release and the Employment Agreement, the Company hereby covenants not to sue and fully releases Employee and Employee’s successors and assigns (the “Employee Releasees”), with respect to and from all actions, and claims of any kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which the Company may now
