On May 26, 2016, inVentiv Health, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (the “Amendment”) with Jeffrey McMullen, our Vice Chairman and Director and Chairman of inVentiv Health Clinical. The Amendment extended Mr. McMullen’s existing employment agreement by two years until May 23, 2018. The Amendment reduces the base salary Mr. McMullen receives from the Company during each year of the extension as he transitions from an executive to board role. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

As compensation for his service as a director, Mr. Southwell will receive an annual fee of $75,000, with an additional $20,000 for so long as he serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee.
