<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U>Amendment
  and Restatement of Employment Contract</U>. On July 31, 2006, Quest Diagnostics
  Incorporated (&#147;Quest Diagnostics&#148;) and Dr. Mohapatra, Quest Diagnostics&#146;
  President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of its Board of Directors, entered
  into an amendment and restatement of Dr. Mohapatra&#146;s employment contract
  dated as of November 9, 2003. The amended and restated contract is effective
  August 1, 2006 (&#147;Employment Contract&#148;). The Employment Contract remains
  substantially unchanged from the prior contract except that (1) its term is
  extended for 5 years, until December 31, 2011, (2) effective commencing January
  1, 2007, Dr. Mohapatra&#146;s target bonus percentage will be 150% of base salary,
  (3) until 2015, Dr. Mohapatra will be entitled to receive severance if Quest
  Diagnostics fails to renew the contract, and (4) the contract provisions relating
  to the reimbursement of expenses for post change in control disputes and compliance
  with new deferred compensation tax rules are conformed to those of Quest Diagnostics&#146;
  Executive Officer Severance Plan. The foregoing description of the Employment
  Contract does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
  reference to such Contract, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto
  and is incorporated by reference.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
part of entering into the Employment Contract, Quest Diagnostics also agreed to
pay Dr. Mohapatra a special $100,000 cash bonus and to amend the Quest
Diagnostics Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan implemented for Dr.
Mohapatra, as described below.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U>Amendment to Quest Diagnostics Incorporated Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan</U>. The Quest Diagnostics Incorporated Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (&#147;Plan&#148;) provides supplemental retirement income to Dr.
Mohapatra. The Plan provides an annual benefit to Dr. Mohapatra equal to 1.5%
times his final average pay times his years of credited service (all as defined
in the Plan). This formula is amended effective August 1, 2006 in three
respects: (1) for periods of service after July 31, 2006 the percentage is
increased to 2.2%, (2) final average pay is determined using Dr. Mohapatra&#146;s
salary and bonus for the highest three complete consecutive calendar years in
the last five complete calendar years prior to his termination (previously,
this was determined using his salary for his last 36 months of employment and
his last three annual bonuses) and (3), if Dr. Mohapatra&#146;s employment is
terminated by Quest Diagnostics without Cause or if he terminates employment
for Good Reason (as those terms are defined in the Employment Contract) after
he attains age 60 but before 62, his years of credited service will be
increased by 2 (3 in the event of a change in control) less the service he
accumulates between ages 60 and 62. A copy of the amendment to the Plan is
filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated by reference.</FONT></P>

  During such period described in Section 1 as the Executive acts as Chairman,

  severance (Base Salary and Target Bonus) and benefit continuation period
  shall be three years, (2) a Pro-Rata Target Bonus (as defined herein) for the
  year in which termination for Disability occurs, payable in a lump-sum within
  30 days following the Date of Termination, and any earned and unpaid bonus
  relating to services performed by the Executive in the year preceding his

  federal, state, and local income tax and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up
  Payment, shall be equal to the Payment. The determination of whether an
  Excise Tax is due in respect to any payment, benefit, distribution or
  entitlement, the amount of the Excise Tax and the amount of the Gross-Up
  Payment shall be made by an independent auditor (the &#147;Auditor&#148;) jointly selected
  by the Company and the Executive and paid by the Company. If the Executive
  and the Company cannot agree on the firm to serve as the Auditor, then the
  Executive and the Company shall each select one nationally recognized
  accounting firm and those two firms shall jointly select one nationally
  recognized accounting firm to serve as the Auditor. Notwithstanding the
  Payment, (i) any other payments, benefits, distributions or entitlements
  received or to be received by the Executive in connection with a Change in
  Control or the Executive&#146;s termination of employment (whether pursuant to the
  terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement with the
  Company, any person whose actions result in a Change in Control or any person
  affiliated with the Company or such person) shall be treated as &#147;parachute
  payments&#148; within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all
  &#147;excess parachute payments&#148; within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code
  shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of the
  tax counsel selected by the Auditor, such other payments or benefits (in
  whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, or are otherwise not
  subject to the Excise Tax, and (ii) the Executive shall be deemed to pay
  federal income tax at the highest marginal rate applicable in the calendar
  year in which the Gross-Up Payment is made, and state and local income taxes
  at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the
  Executive&#146;s residence on the date the Gross-Up Payment is made, net of the
  maximum reduction in federal income tax which could be obtained from
  deduction of such state and local taxes. In the event the actual Excise Tax
  or such income tax is more or less than the amount used to calculate the Gross-Up
  Payment, the Executive or the Company, as the case may be, shall pay to the
  other an amount reflecting the actual Excise Tax or such income tax.</FONT></P>

  the covenants contained in this Section 12 may result in material irreparable
  injury to the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries for which there is no
  adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for
  such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat

  from engaging in activities prohibited by this Section 12 or such other
  relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the covenants in
  this Section 12. The Executive hereby agrees that the Company shall not be

  equitable relief. Without intending to limit the remedies available to the
  Executive, the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of
  the Company&#146;s obligations under this Agreement. </FONT></P>

  In the event of any difference of opinion or dispute between the Executive
  and the Company with respect to the construction or interpretation of this
  Agreement or the alleged breach thereof (including the SERP), which cannot be
  settled amicably by agreement of the parties, then such dispute shall be
  submitted to and determined by arbitration by a single arbitrator in the city
  of New York, New York in accordance with the rules then in effect of the
  Commercial Arbitration Panel of the American Arbitration Association (the
  &#147;AAA&#148;), and judgment upon the award rendered shall be final, binding and conclusive
  upon the parties and may be entered in the highest court, state or federal,
  having jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses of the
  arbitration, including its own attorneys&#146; fees, and its allocable share of
  the costs and expenses of the arbitrator; provided, however, that following a
  Change in Control, the Executive shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the
  Company for his costs and expenses in connection with any dispute relating to
  this Agreement (including the SERP) to the same extent a participant would be
  reimbursed pursuant to Section 9 of the Executive Officer Severance Plan as
  in effect from time to time. </FONT></P>
