Article IV.

FISCAL MATTERS

4.1. Manager Consideration.

(a) In consideration of the services to be provided by Manager under this Agreement, Company agrees to pay to Manager a fee as follows:

All amounts above collectively shall be referred to as “Manager Consideration.” On an annual basis, the Parties shall in good faith review the methodology for calculating the Manager Consideration and shall make any adjustments deemed necessary by mutual agreement of Manager and the Company to ensure that the Company is paying fair market value for the Management Services the Company is receiving from Manager. The payment of the Management Consideration shall be subject to the priority of payments from the Operating Account as set forth in Section 4.3 below.

(b) Manager shall calculate the Manager Consideration on a monthly or quarterly basis, as applicable, and provide a reasonably detailed accounting thereof to the Company. Company shall pay the Manager Consideration within five (5) days after receipt of such invoice.

4.2. Clinic Expenses. Manager shall pay when due all reasonable and ordinary expenses associated with the delivery of the Pathology Services, including but not limited to employee expenses, office and medical supplies, billing and collection, space and equipment expenses, insurance, communications, and other usual and customary expenses associated with supporting the practice of medicine (collectively “Clinic Expenses”).

4.3. Priority of Payments. Each month, Manager shall apply funds that are in the Operations Account in the following order of priority:

(a) Physician Expenses;

(b) Clinic Expenses;

(c) Manager Fee;

(d) On a quarterly basis, the Manager Performance Bonus.

4.4. Reconciliation. The obligation to make the payments outlined above in Section 4.1 and 4.3 is dependent on the Company having adequate funds in the Operating Account in an applicable month. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.4, Manager shall, on a quarterly basis, within thirty (30) days after each calendar quarter, determine if any disbursement listed in Section 4.3 was due, but unpaid, in a given month within that quarter due to a shortfall in funds available in the Operating Account, and in such a case, Manager shall receive, as applicable, any unpaid portion of the disbursements listed in Section 4.3. Such reconciliation shall also take into account any amounts due to Manager to repay any loans or advances to Company. If any amounts remain which are owed and not paid by Company to Manager following this quarterly true-up (“Rollover Charges”), then such Rollover Charges shall remain payable and shall be paid by Company to Manager in the immediately-succeeding month (together with the Manager Fee due in such succeeding month), but again only to the extent Company has sufficient resources to pay it in such month, or, in the event previously not paid pursuant hereto, at such time as Company has sufficient resources to pay it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company and Manager shall perform an annual review of Company’s financial statements and future projections to assess the possibility of any Rollover Charges being uncollectible by Manager. Rollover Charges shall be deemed uncollectible if per such annual review of Company’s financial statements and future projections, the anticipated future cashflows are less than adequate to settle outstanding Manager Consideration aged over 360 days. In the event Manager determines that such Rollover Charges would be uncollectible, then Manager may institute debt forgiveness for such uncollectible Rollover Charges, on terms and timing to be agreed by the parties.

4.5. Performance Bonus. Following each such quarterly reconciliation under Section 4.4, to the extent that funds are available in the Operating Account after such reconciliation, Manager shall pay itself any such balance, less any appropriate amounts reserved as working capital, (the “Manager Performance Bonus.”)

4.6. Management Consideration. Payment of the Manager Consideration is not intended to be and shall not be interpreted or implied as permitting Manager to share in Company’s fees for Professional Services, but is acknowledged as the Parties’ negotiated agreement as to the reasonable fair market value of the services furnished by Manager to Practice pursuant to this Agreement, considering the risks undertaken and assumed by Manager. The Parties acknowledge that Manager will incur substantial costs and business risks in providing services to Company pursuant to this Agreement. The Parties also acknowledge that such costs and business risks can vary to a considerable degree according to the extent of Company’s business and services. The Parties agree that the Manager Consideration has been determined in arm’s-length bargaining, and is consistent with fair market value in arm’s-length transactions. Manager and Company acknowledge and agree that (a) Manager’s administrative expertise will contribute great value to Company’s performance, and (b) Manager has incurred and will continue to incur substantial costs and business risks in arranging for Company’s use of facilities and services that are the subject matter of this Agreement.

In the course of providing and receiving the Management Services, the Company and the Manager and their officers, directors, equity holders and employees will have access to the most sensitive and most valuable trade secrets, proprietary information of the other Party, and other confidential information, including management reports, marketing studies, marketing plans, business plans, financial statements, feasibility studies, financial, accounting and statistical data, price and cost information, customer lists, contracts, policies and procedures, internal memoranda, reports and other materials or records of a proprietary or confidential nature (collectively, “Confidential Information”), which constitute valuable business assets of the Company and the Manager and their respective Affiliates, and the use, application or disclosure of such Confidential Information will cause substantial and possibly irreparable damage to the business and asset value of the receiving Party. Therefore, as an inducement for the Parties to enter into this Agreement and to protect the Confidential Information and other business interests of the Parties, the Parties agree to be bound by the restrictive covenants contained in this Article VI.

6.2. Disclosure of Confidential Information.

(a) During the Term and thereafter, the Parties will, and will cause each of their respective Affiliates, directors, managers, officers, equity holders, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (“Associated Persons”) to, keep confidential and not disclose to any other Person or use for their own benefit or the benefit of any other Person any Confidential Information relating to the other Party; provided, however, that the obligations under this Section 6.2 will not apply to Confidential Information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of the commitments contemplated by this Section 6.2, (ii) was available to a Party or its Associated Persons on a non-confidential basis before the date of this Agreement or (iii) is required to be disclosed by any Law or Order; provided that as soon as practicable before such disclosure, the Party intending to make such disclosure gives the other Party prompt written notice of such disclosure to enable the non-disclosing Party, at the non-disclosing party’s sole cost and expense, to have the opportunity to seek a protective order or otherwise preserve the confidentiality of such information. Promptly after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the disclosing Party will, and will cause each of its Associated Persons to (i) either return to the other Party or destroy, delete or erase (with written certification of such destruction, deletion or erasure provided to the other Party) all written, electronic or other tangible forms of Confidential Information, or to the extent it is not reasonably possible or practicable to return, destroy, delete or erase Confidential Information, and (ii) keep such Confidential Information confidential at all times. After the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Company and the Manager will not, and will cause their Associated Persons not to, retain any copies, summaries, analyses, compilations, reports, extracts or other materials containing or derived from any Confidential Information of the other Party; provided that this provision shall not apply to any copies saved in a Party’s archival or back up system. Notwithstanding such return, destruction, deletion or erasure, all oral Confidential Information and the information embodied in all written Confidential Information will continue to be held confidential pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.2.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree that the Manager will need to use and disclose Confidential Information of the Company in connection with the Management Services, and in certain circumstances use and disclose, Confidential Information of the Company to its agents, subcontractors and other representatives as well as other affiliated medical practices participating in the Manager’s network of medical practices in furtherance of its activities to assist such practices in achieving performance goals and to enable such practices to provide industry leading medical and related health care services (collectively “Covered Uses and Disclosures”). These Covered Uses and Disclosures shall specifically include, but are not limited to, disclosure to the Manager’s practice network of (i) performance metrics and scorecards of the Company’s performance, (ii) the Company’s clinical and operational protocols, policies and procedures and (iii) other Company know how. However, no Covered Uses and Disclosures of Company Confidential Information shall be considered a breach of the terms of this Section 6.2; provided, that the Manager obtains from any of its representatives and affiliated medical practices written assurances that any such Confidential Information will be kept confidential by any such persons with at least the same degree of care as is required under this Section 6.2.

(c) The Manager shall additionally be permitted to de-identify and aggregate Confidential Information of the Company, including Protected Health Information as defined under HIPAA, and use and disclose such de-identified and/or aggregated information for Covered Uses and Disclosures to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(d) The Company shall at all times give the Manager unrestricted access to its operational and financial information in order for Manager to meet its obligations hereunder and, upon request by the Manager, the Company shall execute directives to any third party having a commercial relationship with the Company to cause such third party to share the Company’s information with the Manager to the same extent shared with the Company. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to amend any third-party agreement that it believes restricts full information-sharing with the Manager to allow such information-sharing, or else will terminate such agreement, if possible, without financial penalty. Further, the Company will not enter into, or allow to renew, any agreement that it believes restricts full information-sharing with the Manager.

6.3. Covenant Not to Solicit. Until the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date, Company will not, directly or indirectly on its own behalf or in conjunction with any person or firm, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, association or business of any kind, as a principal, shareholder, stockholder, officer, partner, member, manager, employee, independent contractor, agent or in any other manner whatsoever:

(a) solicit or induce or attempt to solicit or induce (including by recruiting, interviewing or identifying or targeting as a candidate for recruitment) any member, director, limited liability company manager, officer, employee, independent contractor or other agent of the Manager or any of its Affiliates (including any other professional practice groups to which the Manager or any of its Affiliates provides business, administrative and back office services) (an “Affiliated Person”) to terminate, restrict or hinder such Affiliated Person’s association with the other Party or any of its Affiliates or interfere in any way with the relationship between the Affiliated Person and the other Party or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, general solicitations published in a journal, newspaper or other publication or posted on an internet job site and not specifically directed toward Affiliated Persons will not constitute a breach of the covenants in this Section 6.3(a);

(b) induce or attempt to influence any hospital, licensed health facility, health care organization, physician or other business, entity or professional with a relationship with the Manager to terminate or modify that relationship; and/or

(c) interfere with the relationship between any entity and any Person who is a supplier, lessor, lessee, dealer, distributor, licensor, licensee, proprietor, partner, joint venturer, investor, lender, consultant, agent, customer, patient, referral source, third party payer or any other Person having a business relationship with the other Party or its Affiliates (including laboratories or physicians affiliated with other practice groups or entities managed by the Manager or its Affiliates), or attempt or assist anyone else to do so.

6.4. Covenant Not to Compete. Until the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date, within the United States, the Company shall not, without the prior written approval of the Manager, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control or participate in any manner in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or serve as a partner, employee, principal, agent, consultant or otherwise contract with, or have any financial interest in, or aid or assist any other person or entity that operates an independent laboratory or an enterprise that provides or promotes management or administrative services or any product or services substantially similar to those provided by the Manager. This Section 6.4 shall not be construed to restrict: (i) the Company and/or any of its physicians, from providing professional medical services or otherwise engaging in the practice of medicine within the United States; or (ii) the Company and/or any of its physicians from providing medical director services to any hospital, medical group and/or any other healthcare facility.

6.5. Non-Disparagement. After the date of this Agreement, neither Party will, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to require its Associated Persons not to, directly or indirectly, make any disparaging, derogatory, negative or knowingly false statement about the other Party, any of its Associated Persons, or any of their respective businesses, operations, financial condition or prospects, except as required by any applicable Law or Order.

6.6. Scope of Covenants; Equitable Relief. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the restrictive covenants contained in this Article VI and the territorial, time, activity and other limitations set forth herein are commercially reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and legitimate business interests of the Manager, (ii) any breach of the restrictive covenants in this Article VI will cause irreparable injury to the Manager and that actual damages may be difficult to ascertain and would be inadequate, (iii) if any breach of any such covenant occurs, then the Manager will be entitled to seek injunctive relief in addition to such other legal and equitable remedies that may be available (without limiting the availability of legal or equitable, including injunctive, remedies under any other provisions of this Agreement), and (iv) Company hereby waives the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists for such a breach.

6.7. Equitable Tolling. If Company breaches any covenant in this Article VI, then the duration of such covenant will be tolled for a period of time equal to the time of such breach and, if the Manager seeks injunctive relief or other remedies for any such breach, then the duration of such covenant will be tolled for a period of time equal to the pendency of such proceedings (including all appeals).

Article VII.

(a) The Company will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Manager, its Affiliates and their respective directors, managers, officers, equity holders, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Manager Indemnified Parties”) from and against all losses, liabilities, demands, claims, actions or causes of action (including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’, investigators’ and experts’ fees and expenses) (“Damages”) arising from or related to the joint employment status of clinical laboratory personnel, based upon, caused by, or arising out of or in connection with illegal activity, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or material breach of this Agreement (including the breach of any representations or warranties of the Company contained herein) by the Company or any of its employees, contractors or agents.

(b) The Manager will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and their respective directors, managers, officers, equity holders, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Damages arising from or related to the joint employment status of clinical personnel, based upon, caused by, or arising out of or in connection with illegal activity, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or material breach of this Agreement (including the breach of any representations or warranties of the Manager contained herein) by the Manager or any of its employees, contractors or agents.

7.2. Controversy, Dispute or Claim.

Such arbitration shall occur in San Antonio, Texas, unless the Parties mutually agree to have such proceeding in some other locale. The arbitrator shall apply Texas substantive law, but not its conflicts of laws provisions. Civil discovery for use in such arbitration may be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Texas law, and the arbitrator selected shall have the power to enforce the rights, remedies, duties, liabilities and obligations of discovery by the imposition of the same terms, conditions and penalties as can be imposed in like circumstances in a civil action by a court of competent jurisdiction of the State of Texas. The provisions of Texas law concerning the right to discovery and the use of depositions in arbitration are incorporated herein by reference and made applicable to this Agreement.

7.3. Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant all legal and equitable remedies and award compensatory damages provided by Texas law, except that punitive damages shall not be awarded. The arbitrator shall prepare in writing and provide to the parties an award including factual findings and the legal reasons on which the award is based. The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning.

7.4. Request Injunctive Relief or Temporary Restraining Order.

The decision of the court with respect to the requested injunctive relief or temporary restraining order shall be subject to appeal only as allowed under Texas law. However, the courts shall not have the authority to review or grant any request or demand for damages.

Article VIII.

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1. Rights Cumulative. The various rights and remedies herein provided for shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies the Parties may be entitled to pursue under the law. The exercise of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not prejudice the rights or remedies of any Party to exercise any other right or remedy at law or in equity or pursuant to this Agreement.

8.2. Changes in Applicable Law.

To the extent that any act or service required by Manager in this Agreement should be construed or deemed, by any governmental authority, agency or court to constitute the practice of medicine, the performance of said act or service by Manager shall be deemed waived and thereafter unenforceable and the provisions of this Section 8.2 shall apply.

Furthermore, in lieu of such invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in its terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

The Parties also acknowledge and agree that no benefit to be received by any Party under this Agreement, or any other agreement between or among the Parties or any of their Affiliates, is in exchange for, will require, or is intended, in any manner that is contrary to applicable laws, to induce any Party (a) to refer any person to the other Party for the furnishing, or arranging for the furnishing, of any item or service or (b) to purchase, lease, order, or arrange for or recommend purchasing, leasing, or ordering any good, facility, service, or item from any other Party.
