ENHABIT, INC.

EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN

Enhabit, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has adopted the Enhabit, Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”), to be effective as of the date on which the Company becomes a separate publicly traded company in connection with its separation from Encompass Health Corporation, for the benefit of certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated.

The Plan is intended to help retain qualified employees and provide financial security to certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries whose employment with the Company and its subsidiaries may be terminated under circumstances entitling them to severance benefits as provided herein.  The Plan is intended to be a plan that “is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Plan is not intended to provide for any “deferral of compensation,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and authoritative Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder (including the Proposed Treasury Regulations issued June 22, 2016, to the extent the application of such proposed regulations facilitates the administration of this Plan in accordance with the intentions set forth in this paragraph). Instead, payments and benefits under the Plan are intended to fall within the exemptions for “short-term deferrals,” as set forth in Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-1(b)(4), and “separation pay due to involuntary separation from service or participation in a window program,” as set forth in Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), and it is further intended that each Participant’s benefits shall be payable only upon a Participant’s “separation from service” under Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-1(h). For purposes of Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii), the right to each payment under the Plan shall be treated as the right to a separate payment. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with these intentions.

(C)         a Pro-rated Portion of any unvested options and stock appreciation rights held by the Participant to purchase Company stock will become automatically vested and exercisable and shall continue to be exercisable for such time as otherwise vested options and stock appreciation rights are exercisable under the related plan and award agreement;

The Participant must execute and deliver a Release Agreement, and such Release Agreement must become effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms, no later than sixty (60) days following such Participant’s Termination Date. If this requirement is not satisfied, the Participant shall forfeit the right to receive any benefits under Section 3.01(a) and shall instead be entitled to benefits only under Section 3.01(b). In the event such Participant’s receipt of any or all of the payment or benefits under Section 3.01(a) is subject to Section 409A and such 60-day period extends into a new calendar year, the Company shall deliver such portion of the payments and benefits to the Participant on the later of the first business day of that new year or the effective date of such Release Agreement.

(b)         Any amounts payable under the Plan shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any other severance or termination payment under any other plan or agreement with the Company or any of its current or former affiliates.  As a condition to receipt of any payment under the Plan, the Participant shall waive any entitlement to any other severance or termination payment by the Company or any of its current or former affiliates, including any severance or termination payment set forth in any employment agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  In the event a Participant is entitled to benefits under the Company’s Change of Control Plan (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time), the Participant shall not be entitled to any benefits hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.03(b) shall abridge the Participant’s rights with respect to vested benefits under any Benefit Plan.

Section 3.04        Plan Unfunded; Participant’s Rights Unsecured.  The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or make any other segregation of funds or assets to assure the payment of any benefit hereunder.  The right of any Participant to receive the benefits provided for herein shall be an unsecured obligation against the general assets of the Company.

In the event the claimant disputes the decision of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, the claimant may not bring suit in court with respect to such dispute under the Plan later than one hundred eighty (180) days after receiving the Compensation and Human Capital Committee’s written notice of its decision.

(c)          Any act permitted or required to be taken by a Participant or beneficiary under this Section 4.01 may be taken for and on behalf of such Participant or beneficiary by such Participant’s or beneficiary’s duly authorized representative.  Any claim, notice, application or other writing permitted or required to be filed with or given to a party by this Article shall be deemed to have been filed or given when deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, and properly addressed to the party to whom it is to be given or with whom it is to be filed.  Any such claim, notice, application, or other writing deemed filed or given pursuant to the next foregoing sentence shall in the absence of clear and convincing evidence to the contrary, be deemed to have been received on the fifth (5th) business day following the date upon which it was filed or given.  Any such notice, application, or other writing directed to a Participant or beneficiary shall be deemed properly addressed if directed to the address set forth in the written claim filed by such Participant or beneficiary.
