Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Based on its review of EMSC’s performance, on March 13, 2008, the Compensation Committee of EMSC’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) recommended, and EMSC’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved base salaries for EMSC’s named executive officers in the following amounts: William A. Sanger, Chief Executive Officer — $947,232; Randel G. Owen, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer — $410,727; Todd G. Zimmerman, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary — $382,875; Dighton C. Packard, M.D., Chief Medical Officer — $288,961.

Pursuant to the previously disclosed employment agreements for EMSC’s named executive officers and based upon the attainment of performance targets previously established by the Committee under EMSC’s Executive Officer Evaluation and Compensation Plan (the “EIP”), on March 14, 2008, EMSC paid annual cash bonus awards to the following officers in accordance with the terms of the EIP: William A. Sanger, Chief Executive Officer — $1,400,894; Randel G. Owen, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer — $334,091; and Todd G. Zimmerman, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary — $311,436. Dighton C. Packard, M.D., EMSC’s Chief Medical Officer, is not subject to the EIP, and was awarded $ 147,259 under a different bonus plan.

In addition, on March 14, 2008, pursuant to Committee recommendation and Board approval, EMSC paid Don S. Harvey a cash bonus award of 617,866 for his services rendered in 2007. Mr. Harvey, EMSC’s Chief of Special Projects, served as EMSC’s President and Chief Operating Officer for the entirety of 2007. Mr. Harvey will not be eligible for future payments under the EIP.

The Committee also recommended, and the Board approved, internal earnings thresholds, adjustable upon certain corporate events, before any payments would be made under the EIP for Fiscal Year 2008. The determination of bonus awards under the EIP is described further in EMSC’s Proxy Statement, filed on Form DEF 14A on April 16, 2007. The Board also increased the annual short-term incentive award targets for each of Mr. Owen and Mr. Zimmerman from their previous target of 55% of annual base salary to 70% of annual base salary. These targets are used to determine the pro rata distribution of EIP payments between Messrs. Sanger, Owen and Zimmerman provided that threshold earnings are met for Fiscal Year 2008.
