consideration of the mutual promises and covenants in this Agreement, the
Employee and the Employer contract as follows:

1.    Cessation of Employment. The Employee acknowledges that the Employee’s

until the Employee returns a signed copy of this Agreement, without proposing
any changes to the Agreement, to the Employer and the revocation period under
Section 8 has expired.

coverages under the Employer’s medical/health insurance plan for the life of the
Consultancy Agreement if desired by the Employee. (See Consultancy Agreement

Agreement, the Employee acknowledges having been paid all monies owed to and/or
earned by the Employee based upon employment with the Employer.

of the following events:

(a)    as of the date of the Employee’s re-employment with the Released Parties

behavior that are adverse to the business interests or reputation of the
Released Parties (defined in Section 7 below); and the remainder of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

“Released Parties” (defined in Section 7) of any liability or any legal
violation.

the Claims but excluding Claims under the FLSA (as defined below). The Employee

that would serve as the basis for any of the Claims or legal violations.
Regardless, the Employee does not waive any rights or claims under the ADEA that

attorney before signing this Agreement. The Employee has up to 21 days to
consider this offer of Agreement. By signing below, the Employee acknowledges

(3) calendar days from the Employee’s signing of this Agreement, the Employee
will return to the Employer any and all property and information, including
originals and/or copies of documents relating to the business of the Released
Parties; provided, however, Employee may retain his laptop computer and cell
phone furnished by the Employer so long as such property is used solely for the
benefit of the Employer or Released Parties. The Employee shall not directly or
indirectly disclose to anyone, or use for the Employee’s own benefit or the
benefit of anyone other than the Employer, any “confidential information”
received through the Employee’s employment. Employer confidential information
includes its business plans and files; management information; patient data; and
any other related proprietary information.    The Employee may use the
Employee’s general knowledge of the industry for the Employee’s own benefit and
occupation and may fully and fairly compete with the Employer, except as
otherwise provided in the Consultancy Agreement. If it appears that the Employee
will be compelled by law or judicial process to disclose any such confidential
information, the Employee shall immediately notify the Employer in writing upon
the Employee’s receipt of a subpoena or other legal process. The Employer agrees
to provide the Employee with up to $5,000 (direct billed to the Employer) in
outplacement services provided by Wiederhold and Associates; provided,
outplacement services shall only be reimbursed if billed directly to the
Employer.

11.    Compliance Disclosure.    In connection with the separation of the
Employee’s employment, and pursuant to the Compliance Program and Code of
Conduct, the Employee represents and warrants to the Released Parties that the
Employee has complied with the Compliance Program and the Code of Conduct at all
times, and that the Employee has disclosed in writing to the Corporate
Compliance Officer any and all instances of known or suspected violations of
laws, rules, regulations, or corporate policy by the Released Parties. The
Employee agrees to cooperate with the Released Parties on any questions relating
to the Employee’s employment and compliance. Further, the Employee represents
and warrants that the Employee has not brought and has no intention to bring any
whistleblower or similar suits or claims (which terms shall include, but not be
limited to, a qui tam action under the Federal False Claims Act and similar
federal and state and local laws, rules and regulations) or disclosures to any
governmental agency that would subject the Released Parties to any liability as
a result of any violations of any laws, rules, or regulations. The Employee also
represents and warrants that Employee knows of no facts that would give rise to
any such whistleblower or similar lawsuits, claims, or disclosures to any
governmental agency; provided that the foregoing is not intended and shall not
be construed as limiting the right of the Employee to bring whistleblower or
similar lawsuits or claims or to make such disclosures to any governmental
agency. In the event the representations and warranties contained herein become
inaccurate or untrue after the effective date of this Agreement, the Employee
agrees to notify the Corporate Compliance Officer, in writing, of the necessary
corrections to make the representations and warranties accurate and true, prior
to initiating any whistleblower or similar lawsuits, claims, or disclosures to
any governmental agency. The Employee also agrees to indemnify the Released
Parties against and hold the Released Parties harmless from any loss, cost,
damage, or penalty incurred by the Released Parties as a result of any
inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties, or agreements
contained herein within the control of the Employee.

rights, and title throughout the world in the Employer IP, including, without
limitation, execution of documents, assistance or cooperation in the
registration and enforcement of applicable patents and copyrights or other legal
proceedings. If the Employer is unable to secure Employee’s signature to any
document required to apply for or execute any patent, copyright or other
applications related to its IP (including improvements, renewals, extensions,
continuations, divisions and continuations in part), Employee permanently
appoints Employer and its authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agents
and attorneys-in-fact to execute and file said applications and to do all other
lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents,
copyrights or other rights thereon with the same legal effect as if executed by
Employee.

Agreement that the Employee cooperate with the Employer, Parent and all Released

which the Employee may be a witness. Such cooperation includes meeting with the
Parent representatives and counsel to disclose such facts as the Employee may
know; preparing with the Employer’s counsel for any deposition, trial, hearing,
or other proceeding; attending any deposition, trial, hearing or other
proceeding to provide truthful testimony; and providing other assistance to the
Parent and its counsel in the defense or prosecution of litigation as may, in

reimburse the Employee for reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses,
including the hourly rate as identified in the Consultancy Agreement, incurred
by the Employee in the course of complying with this obligation, in each case
that are pre-authorized by the Employer or Parent. Nothing in this Section 13
should be construed in any way as prohibiting or discouraging the Employee from
testifying truthfully under oath as part of, or in connection with, any such
proceeding.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14.    Indemnification. To the full extent permitted by law, Parent and Employer
shall continue to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Employee pursuant to their

expenses and/or other losses that have arisen due to his employment with

15.    Miscellaneous Provisions. This Agreement is executed and delivered in the
State of the Employer’s principal location. The laws of such State apply, except
for any rule of construction under which a contract may be construed against the
drafter. Venue for any lawsuit arising out of or related to this Agreement will
lie in the jurisdiction in which the principal offices of the Employer are

either party relied upon in entering into this Agreement. Both parties have read
and fully understand this Agreement and voluntarily enter into it.

competent jurisdiction, except Section 7 in its entirety, then such part shall
be severed from the Agreement and the rest of the Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect. As to any unenforceable part, except Section 6 in its
entirety, such court shall have the power to add or delete in its discretion any
language necessary to make such provision enforceable to the maximum extent
permitted by law, in which case such provision or part thereof shall not be
