ARTICLE II

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

2.1 The Companys Proprietary, Confidential and Trade Secret Information.Employee may have access to or otherwise obtain knowledge of
confidential information of the Company and/or its affiliates (whether such affiliation is through a management agreement between the Company and/or another entity or otherwise) (Affiliates), including, without limitation, the
Companys and Affiliates selling and servicing methods and business techniques, software programs, policies and procedures, business records, training, service and business manuals, promotional materials, training courses and other
training and instructional materials, vendor and product information, customer and prospective customer lists, other customer and prospective customer information, information concerning the Companys and Affiliates current or any future
or proposed work, services, or products, the facts that any such work, services, or products are planned, under consideration, or in production, as well as any descriptions thereof, and other business information (Confidential
Information). Confidential Information shall not include information that Employee can demonstrate: (i) was publicly available at the time of disclosure, or later became publicly available through no act or omission of the Employee;
(ii) was rightfully in Employees possession prior to Employees date of employment by the Company; or (iii) was rightfully received by Employee from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality.

Employee acknowledges that (a) all such Confidential Information, whether reduced to writing, maintained on any form of electronic media, or maintained in the mind
or memory of Employee and whether compiled by the Company, its Affiliates and/or Employee, derives independent economic value from not being readily known to or ascertainable by proper means by others who can obtain economic value from its
disclosure or use; (b) reasonable efforts have been made by the Company and its Affiliates to maintain the secrecy of such information; (c) all Confidential Information and materials have and will be made available to Employee only for the
limited purpose of the performance of Employees duties as an employee; (d) all Confidential Information of the Company and its Affiliates has been developed or compiled by the Company and its Affiliates through substantial expenditures of
time, effort and money and constitutes valuable and unique property of the Company and its Affiliates; and (e) all Confidential Information and materials are the sole property of the Company or its Affiliates. Any retention and use of such
information by Employee during Employees employment with the Company (except in the course of performing Employees duties and obligations hereunder) or after the



4



---

termination of Employees employment shall constitute a misappropriation of the Companys trade secrets and Confidential Information and unfair
competition.

The Companys and its Affiliates business is the development and implementation of programs for the management of comprehensive
hospital-based care for patients within structural in-patient programs, the provision of hospitalist and associated services throughout the United States and the development and utilization of automated and electronic work tools and processes for
hospital-based healthcare providers. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the development of relationships between the Company or its Affiliates and its customers and clients entails great expense and difficulty and requires frequent personal
contact with such customers and clients, that the development of the Companys and its Affiliates staff and employees entails great difficulty and expense and extensive training and supervision of such staff and employees, and that but
for Employees employment by the Company, Employee would have no contact with or knowledge of the identities, addresses and other contact information pertaining to the Companys or its Affiliates customers, clients, staff, or other
employees, all of which constitute part of the Companys and its Affiliates Confidential Information.

Accordingly, and without diminishing in
any way the rights and remedies of the Company under any applicable law and regulation, Employee will keep in strict confidence, and will not, directly or indirectly, at any time during or after Employees employment with the Company, disclose,
furnish, disseminate, make available or, except in the course of performing Employees duties of employment, use any Confidential Information or other trade secrets or confidential business and technical information of the Company or its
Affiliates.

Employee expressly authorizes the Company to notify any person, firm, entity, hospital, medical group, medical provider or corporation
employing Employee in the future, or evidencing an intent to employ Employee in the future, of the existence and provisions of this Agreement.

Employee
acknowledges that Employees use of Confidential Information regarding the Companys accounts, clients, customers, staff and/or employees by Employee during or after the Term of Employees exclusive and non-exclusive employment by the
Company or consultation with the Company, except as is necessary in the course and scope of performing Employees job duties for the Company, will materially and adversely affect the Company, and all of its shareholders, economically and
otherwise, and constitutes unfair competition. Accordingly, as an additional inducement to the Company to enter into the Agreement with the Employee, Employee agrees that:

2.1.1 Use of Trade Secrets and Confidential Information. During and after the Term of Employees exclusive or non-exclusive employment
by the Company or consultation with the Company, except as is necessary in the course and scope of performing Employees job duties for the Company, Employee will not use the Companys trade secrets or Confidential Information, directly or
indirectly, alone or in concert with any person or entity, for Employees own account or for, or on behalf of, any other person or entity, to solicit any business from accounts, clients or customers of the Company or its Affiliates who have
dealt with the Company or its Affiliates at any time during the Term. Nothing in this Section 2.1.1 shall be deemed to prohibit Employee from accepting as a patient anyone to whom



5



---

Employee provided medical services during the Term who affirmatively requests that Employee continue to provide such medical services.

2.1.2 Non-Solicit.During the Term and for a period of two (2) years following expiration or termination of the Term, regardless of
the reason for the termination, Employee will not directly or indirectly solicit or induce or attempt to solicit or induce any officer, director, employee, sales representative, agent or consultant of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate or
adversely alter their employment, representation or other association with the Company or its Affiliates. In addition, at no time after Employee leaves employment with the Company will Employee seek to obtain or misappropriate any of the
Companys trade secrets or Confidential Information from any current or former Company employee or consultant.

2.1.3
Disclosure.In the event that Employee is requested or required in any proceeding to disclose any Confidential Information, Employee shall: (i) provide the Company with prompt written notice of such request(s) and the documents or
information requested so that the Company or its Affiliates may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive Employees compliance with the provisions of this Article II; and (ii) consult with the Company or its Affiliates as
to the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request. It is further agreed that, if in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a written waiver from the Company or its Affiliates, the Employee is
nonetheless, in the opinion of his legal counsel, compelled to disclose any of the Confidential Information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, Employee agrees to disclose to such tribunal only such Confidential
Information as is legally required, which disclosure shall be without liability hereunder; provided, however, that Employee shall give the Company written notice of the Confidential Information to be so disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure
as is practicable and Employee shall request, from the parties to whom the Confidential Information is disclosed, assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the
Company or its Affiliates designates.

2.2 Return Of Property. Employee agrees that upon termination of Employees
employment with the Company, for any reason, Employee shall promptly return to the Company, in good condition, all property of the Company or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, the originals and all copies of any materials which contain,
reflect, summarize, describe, analyze or refer or relate to any Confidential Information. In the event that such items are not so returned, the Company or its Affiliates will have the right to charge Employee for all reasonable damages, costs,
attorneys fees and other expenses incurred in taking, removing and/or recovering such property.

2.3 Assignment Of
Inventions. Employee hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company, its Affiliates, successors, assigns or nominees, all of Employees right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions, which include any
and all discoveries, developments, designs, inventions, improvements, processes, techniques, business records, software programs, training, service and business manuals, promotional materials, training courses and other results and proceeds of
Employees services, regardless of whether subject to patent, registration, trade mark or copyright protection or protection under similar statutes, made, conceived, suggested, either solely or jointly with others, by Employee while in the
Companys employ, whether in the course of employment with the use of the Companys time, material or facilities or that is in any



6



---

way within or related to the existing or contemplated scope of the Companys or its Affiliates business or result from the use of property owned,
leased or contracted for by the Company. Inventions shall also include anything that derives actual or potential economic value from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or
use. Any Inventions directly derivative of the Companys or its Affiliates planned or existing products or services, developed or under development during Employees employment and made, conceived or suggested by Employee, either
solely or jointly with others, within one (1) year following termination of Employees employment under the Agreement, or any successor agreement shall be irrebuttably presumed to have been so made, conceived or suggested in the course of
such employment with the use of the Companys time, materials and/or facilities. All work papers, reports, documentation, drawing, photographs, negatives, tapes and masters therefor, prototypes, other tangible items and materials, and all other
results and proceeds of Employees services hereunder, made, conceived, or suggested, either solely or jointly with others, by Employee while in the Companys employ, whether in the course of employment with the use of the Companys
time, material or facilities or in any way within or related to the existing or contemplated scope of the Companys or its Affiliates business, including, without limitation, and such results and proceeds directly derivative of the
Companys or its Affiliates planned or existing products or services, developed or under development during Employees employment and made, conceived or suggested by Employee, either solely or jointly with others, within one
(1) year following termination of Employees employment under the Agreement or any successor agreements, and including, without limitation, any and all such items generated and maintained on any form of electronic media, constitute
specially commissioned works made for hire as defined in the United States Copyright Act, which works and the copyrights therein and thereto shall be the property of the Company or its Affiliates as the author thereof. To the extent that California
law applies to this Agreement, this paragraph does not apply to any invention that qualifies fully under the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code, the text of which is reproduced in Section 2.6, and Employee
agrees and acknowledges that Employee will bear the full burden of proving to the Company that an Invention qualifies fully under Section 2870.

Upon
request by the Company with respect to any such Inventions, Employee agrees to execute and deliver to the Company, at any time during or after Employees employment, such further documents as the Company may require in connection with the
rights, privileges and property granted to the Company or its Affiliates in the preceding paragraph (the Rights), when so requested, at the expense of the Company, but without further or additional consideration. In the event the
Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure Employees signature on any document(s) required in accordance with the provisions of this Article II, Employee irrevocably designates the Company or its Affiliates, or their nominee,
as Employees agent or attorney-in-fact to act on Employees behalf, with the right, but not the obligation, to execute and deliver all such further documents for the purposes aforesaid. Employee also irrevocably designates the Company or
its Affiliates, or their nominee, as Employees agent or attorney-in-fact, with the right but not the obligation, for the sole benefit of the Company or its Affiliates, and at the Companys or its Affiliates expense, to bring,
prosecute, defend and appear in suits, actions, and proceedings of any nature under or concerning all such Rights; and to take such action as the Company or its Affiliates may deem advisable to enforce, protect, and/or defend any of the Rights; and
to litigate, collect and receive all damages arising from any infringement of any such Rights. Any such action may be taken by the Company or its Affiliates in the name of Employee



7



---

or otherwise, and the Company or its Affiliates may join Employee as a plaintiff or defendant in any such suit, action or proceeding.

Employee further acknowledges that the foregoing assignment of rights is made in consideration of, and is adequately supported by good, valuable and sufficient
consideration including but not limited to the agreement of the Company to employ Employee.

2.4 Remedies. Employee
acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Article II are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate professional and business interests of the Company and its Affiliates and that any breach or violation hereof would result
in irreparable damage and injury to the Company or its Affiliates with the extent and the amount of the damages and injury being difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. Employee acknowledges and agrees that such damages and injury cannot be
adequately compensated with monetary damages, and Employee further agrees that the Company or its Affiliates may seek and obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Article II and/or
specific enforcement of such provisions in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which may be available and that are not inconsistent with the Dispute Resolution Procedure in Section 5.1, Employee agrees to waive any
requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Should litigation be instituted to enforce any provision of this Article II, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover all costs incurred in
connection with such action, including without limitation reasonable legal fees, cost of investigation and cost of settlement; provided, however, that in the case of recovery by the Employee, such recovery shall only be allowed for
amounts incurred during the life time of the Employee, the amount of such recovery provided during one taxable year shall not affect the amount of recovery during any other taxable year, such recovery may not be liquidated, exchanged or substituted
for other forms of compensation to Employee, and any amounts paid with respect to such recovery will be paid no later than the last day of the Employees taxable year following the taxable year in which he incurred the expense giving rise to
such recovery.

2.5 Reasonableness of Obligations. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employees obligations
under this Article II are reasonable in the context of the nature of the Companys and its Affiliates business and the competitive injuries likely to be sustained by the Company or its Affiliates if Employee were to violate such
obligations. Employee further acknowledges that the Agreement is made in consideration of, among other things, this Article II and is adequately supported by good, valuable and sufficient consideration, including but not limited to the
agreement of the Company to employ Employee. Employee specifically agrees that the provisions of this Article II shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement.

2.6 California Labor Code Section 2870.

2.6.1 Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the
employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employers equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:



8



---

(a) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employers
business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer.

(b) Result from any work performed by the
employee for the employer.

2.6.2 To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an
invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under Section 2.6.1, the provision is against the public policy of California and is unenforceable.

ARTICLE III

Welfare Benefits Payment, as set forth in Section 3.5.4(b); (c) medical and dental benefits to Employee and his covered dependents (to the
extent applicable) upon the same terms and conditions as if Employee continued to remain an active employee of the Company (in all events below determined without regard for any diminution of such coverage constituting Good Reason for his
resignation hereunder) for the Severance Period; and (d) the payment of Annual Bonus specified in Section 4.2. Further, Employee shall be entitled to continued participation in certain welfare plans as described in
Section 4.3. In addition, Employee shall continue to be bound by any provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

3.5.4 Severance and Welfare Benefits Payment. In the event that Employee is eligible to receive the Severance Payment pursuant to Section 3.5.3 above, Employee shall be entitled to the
following: (a) a payment in amount equal to the product of the Base Salary (as in effect immediately before such termination, without taking into account any diminution in Base Salary constituting Good Reason for his resignation hereunder)
multiplied by 1.5 (the Severance Payment) and (b) a lump sum cash payment, payable sixty (60) days following the Employees termination of employment, equal to the present value of the cost to the Company for
providing life and disability insurance benefits to Employee, based upon the cost immediately preceding such termination, for a period of eighteen (18) months (the Welfare Benefits Payment). The Severance Payment shall be
divided into substantially equal monthly cash payments, which shall be payable in monthly installments and in accordance with the Companys standard payroll practices, subject to Section 3.6 and subject to Employees execution
of the release as provided in Section 3.5.3 for the duration of the eighteen (18) month severance period. The Company will pay all applicable payroll taxes related to such payments and shall withhold the Employees payroll
taxes.

3.5.5 Good Reason Definition. Good Reason shall mean the occurrence, without Employees
express written consent, of any of the following events, provided that Employee shall have given the Company written notice that circumstances that Employee believes potentially constitute one of the following Good Reason events exist no later than
ninety (90) days after the date that such circumstances come into existence, with specific explanation of the circumstances and the provision of this definition under which Good Reason has arisen:

(a) a substantial reduction in Employees status, title, position or authority at the Company such that Employee is no longer the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. Chief Executive Officer shall mean an executive who has responsibility to and is accountable only to either the Board or Chairman for the direction and management of the executive and operational offices of
the Company;

(b) a reduction in the Base Salary or the target amount of any Annual Bonus which represents or will represent, in any
12-month period following such reduction, a reduction of $20,000 in either Base Salary, target Annual Bonus, or the aggregate of Base Salary and target Annual Bonus;

(c) a requirement that Employee render services at a location outside of Los Angeles County, California or the relocation of the Companys headquarters outside of Los Angeles County, California; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not apply as to reasonable business travel commensurate with Employees position; or



12



---

(d) any material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement;

provided, however, that Good Reason shall not exist unless, following receipt by the Company of Employees notice under this Section 3.5.5, the
Company is provided with thirty (30) days to remedy the circumstances that would constitute Good Reason (or the additional period provided under Section 3.5.1). After receipt of Employees notice under this
Section 3.5.5, Employees continued employment shall not, subject to the requirements under this Section 3.5.5, constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any event or condition constituting Good
Reason. Any termination of a Employees employment for Good Reason as a result of such event or condition must occur no later than the second anniversary of the date that such condition initially arose. At any time after such notice has been
given and Good Reason exists (and has not been cured), the Company may not terminate Employees employment due to Permanent Disability under Section 3.3.

3.5.6 Relationship to Change in Control Plan. It is intended that, if Employee qualifies for payments under both this Section 3.5 and under the separate Executive Change in Control Plan or a
successor plan or arrangement thereto, he will be entitled to the greater of the payment and benefits provided either by this Agreement or such other plan or arrangement, but without duplication.

3.6 Rules for Compliance with Code Section 409A. This Section 3.6 serves to ensure compliance with applicable requirements
of Section 409A. Certain provisions of this Section 3.6 modify other provisions of this Agreement. If the terms of this Section 3.6 conflict with other terms of the Agreement, the terms of this Section 3.6
control.

3.6.1 Special Rules for Separate Payments.

(a) Separate Welfare Benefits Payments. If payable, the Welfare Benefits Payments shall be payable as a lump sum on the 60thday following termination of employment, to the maximum extent possible, under
the short-term deferral rule set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) and, to the extent such amounts are not payable as a short-term deferral, such amounts shall be payable instead under the two-years/two-times exclusion
from Section 409A under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), up to the applicable limits of that exclusion and, to the extent such payment is not covered by the two-years/two-times exclusion, such amounts shall be deemed
to be deferred compensation under Section 409A and shall be subject to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 3.6.2, if applicable.

(b) Separate Severance Payments. If payable, the Severance Payments under Section 3.5 and the salary continuation payments under Section 3.3 shall be deemed to be separate payments for
purposes of Section 409A as follows:



| | (i) | Each monthly installment payable in the first three months following termination of employment shall be a separate payment, payable, to the maximum extent
permissible, under the short-term deferral rule set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4). If the monthly installment payable in the third month following
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



13



---

| | termination would be payable in March, such installment shall be paid no later than March 15. The first two of these monthly installments shall not be
paid until the date after Employee has executed the release required under Section 3.5.3 or Section 3.3.1, as applicable, and may no longer revoke such release (this date varies but in no event is later than 52 days after
termination of employment). If these payments are not payable as a short-term deferral, they shall be payable instead under the two-years/two-times exclusion from Section 409A under Treasury Regulation
§ 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), up to the applicable limits of that exclusion (after applying the exclusion under Section 3.6.1(a)). To the extent these payments do not qualify as short-term deferrals or under the
two-year/two-times exclusion, such amounts shall be deemed to be deferred compensation under Section 409A and shall be subject to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 3.6.2, if applicable.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Each months installment payable in the fourth, fifth and sixth months following Employees termination of employment shall be a separate payment payable, to the maximum
extent permissible, under the two-years/two-times exclusion from Section 409A under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), up to the applicable limits of that exclusion (after applying the exclusion under
Section 3.6.1(a)). To the extent these payments do not qualify under the two-year/two-times exclusion, such amounts shall be deemed to be deferred compensation under Section 409A and shall be subject to the six-month
delay rule set forth in Section 3.6.2, if applicable.
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Each months installment payable from the seventh through the 18thmonth following Employees termination of employment shall be deemed to include two separate payments, one of which is a
payment equal to one-twelfth of the amount of the two-years/two-times exclusion under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) not applicable to payments prior to the seventh month after termination under the rules set forth above
and under the Executive Change in Control Plan or any other plan or arrangement providing for severance payments to Employee before the seventh month after termination (the Excluded Portion) and the other separate payment for each
month being the remaining amount of such Severance Payment, if any (i.e., the total monthly Severance Payment minus the Excluded Portion), shall be deemed to be deferred compensation subject to Section 409A and shall be subject to the six-month
delay rule set forth in Section 3.6.2, if applicable.
| | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.6.2 Six-Month Delay Rule.

(a) General Rule. The six-month delay rule will apply to certain payments and benefits under the Agreement if all of the following
conditions are met:



| | (i) | Employee is a key employee (as defined in Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) on the date of the Employees
termination of employment. The Company will determine status of key employees annually,
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



14



---

| | under administrative procedures applicable to all Section 409A plans and arrangements and applied in accordance with Treasury Regulation
§ 1.409A-1(i).
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | The Companys stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise.
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | The payment or benefit in question is a deferral of compensation and not excepted, exempted or excluded from being such by the short-term deferral rule, or the
two-years/two-times rule in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), or any other exception, exemption or exclusion; provided, however, that the exclusion under Treasury Regulation
§ 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(D) shall apply only if and to the extent that it is not necessary to apply such exclusion to any other payment or benefit payable within six months after the Employees termination of employment.
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Effect of Rule. If it applies, the six-month delay rule will delay a payment or benefit which otherwise
would be payable under this Agreement within six months after Employees Separation from Service.



| | (i) | Any delayed payment or benefit shall be paid on the date six months after Employees Separation from Service.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | During the six-month delay period, accelerated payment will occur in the event of the Employees death but not for any other reason (including no acceleration upon a Change in
Control), except for accelerations expressly permitted under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1  A-6.
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Any payment that is not triggered by a termination of employment, or is triggered by a termination of employment but would be made more than six months after the termination of
employment (without applying this six-month delay rule), or is triggered by Employees death shall be unaffected by the six-month delay rule.
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Limit to Application of Six-Month Delay Rule. If the terms of this Agreement or other plan or arrangement or document relating to this Agreement or payments hereunder impose this six-month delay rule
in circumstances in which it is not required for compliance with Section 409A, those terms shall not be given effect.

3.6.3
Certain Benefits. With respect to benefits provided following Employees termination of employment, the provision of each such benefit (whether provided in-kind by the Company, provided by third parties but to be paid for by the
Company, or reimbursed to Employee by the Company) in each calendar year shall be deemed a separate payment by the Company, and each component separately covered by clauses (i)  (v) below shall be deemed a separate payment. The
following payment rules apply to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that provision of these benefits does not result in Section 409A penalties to Employee:



15



---

| | (i) | Payments that are non-taxable to Employee are intended to be not subject to Section 409A.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Certain payments, including but not limited to business expense reimbursements, are excluded from being deemed deferrals of compensation under Treasury Regulation §
1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A), (B) and (C); such payments may be incurred or provided during the period from termination of employment until the last day of Employees second taxable year following the taxable year of Employees termination of
employment, provided that reimbursements must be paid no later than the Employees third taxable year following the year of Employees termination of employment (or any greater or lesser period applicable to medical expenses under Treasury
Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(B)).
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Payments shall be excluded under other applicable provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1  A-6 (including Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) and
(10)  (12)).
| | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | Any such payments incurred during the lifetime of the Employee and not covered under the foregoing rules shall be payable to the greatest extent permissible as a reimbursement to
Employee or as an in-kind benefit to Employee meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). For this purpose, the amount of any such payment in any one of Employees taxable years shall not affect the eligible
amount of a related payment in any other of Employees taxable years (excluding medical expenses to the extent provided in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv)(B)), and any payment in reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made
no later than the last day of Employees taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. A payment subject to this clause (iv) may not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (v) | Any payment not excluded from being a deferral of compensation and not otherwise covered by clauses (i)  (iv) above shall nevertheless be payable as a separate
payment under this Agreement.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.6.4 Other Provisions.

(a) Separation from Service. References to termination of employment hereunder and references to Separation from
Service mean Employees separation from service from the Company as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h) and other applicable guidance under Section 409A.

(b) No Influence on Year of Payment. In the case of any payment under the Agreement payable during a specified period of time following a
termination of employment or other event, if such permitted payment period begins in one calendar year and ends in a subsequent calendar year, Employee shall have no right to elect in which year the



16



---

payment will be made, and the Companys determination of when to make the payment shall not be influenced in any way by Employee.

(c) Good Reason. The definition of Good Reason in Section 3.5.5 is intended to meet requirements so that a
termination for Good Reason will constitute an involuntary separation within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2)(i), and shall be so construed and interpreted.

(d) Non-transferability.No right to any payment or benefit under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by Employees creditors or of any of Employees beneficiaries.

(e) No Acceleration.The timing of payments and benefits under the Agreement may not be accelerated to occur before the time specified for payment hereunder, except to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulation
§ 1.409A-3(j)(4) or as otherwise permitted under Code Section 409A without Employee incurring a tax penalty.

ARTICLE IV

OTHER PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS

4.1 Malpractice Insurance. The Company shall maintain and continue Employees current professional liability insurance. Upon termination of Employees employment under this Agreement for any reason, the Company
agrees to purchase extended period reporting (tail) professional liability insurance for Employee, which shall provide the same coverage as was provided Employee at the time of termination of employment, for claims occurring any time
that Employee was employed by the Company including before and during the Term and reported as claims either during the Term or after termination.

4.2 Annual Bonus Payable Following Certain Terminations.In the event of a termination of Employees employment due to death, Permanent Disability, or in circumstances triggering Severance Payments under
Section 3.5, Employee (or his beneficiaries following his death) shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of his Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in progress at the date of termination of employment, based on the actual
performance achieved for the full fiscal year determined in good faith by the Committee and consistent with its determinations for senior executives who remain in service to the Company at the time of such determination. The pro rata portion shall
be equal to the number of calendar days in the fiscal year through the applicable termination date divided by 365 (or 366 in a leap year). Payment of any Annual Bonus so earned shall be made by March 15 of the year following the year of
Employees termination. For any partial Contract Year which ends with the non-renewal of this Agreement, the Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in progress at the end of such Contract Year shall be payable on a pro rata basis in the same way,
treating such non-renewal as a qualifying termination for purposes of this Section 4.2.



17



---

4.3 Commitment Regarding Continued Participation in Welfare Plans. In the event of a
termination of Employees employment following age 55 and five years of employment with the Company due to death, Permanent Disability, or in circumstances triggering Severance Payments under Section 3.5, the Company will in good
faith use its best efforts to permit Employee (or his dependents, in the case of Employees death) to continue to participate in the Companys employee and dependent group medical and dental benefit programs, with Employee (or his
dependents) upon the same terms and conditions as if Employee continued to remain an active employee of the Company, for a period until both Employee and his spouse at the time of termination become eligible for Medicare coverage.

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

5.1 Dispute Resolution Procedure.

5.1.1 Arbitration.The parties agree that any dispute arising out of or related to the employment relationship between them, including the termination of that relationship, shall be resolved by binding
arbitration, except where the law specifically forbids the use of arbitration as a final and binding remedy.

5.1.2 Statement of
Grievance.The party claiming to be aggrieved shall furnish to the other party a written statement of the grievance identifying any witnesses or documents then reasonably known to that party that support the grievance and the relief
requested or proposed.

5.1.3 Mediation.If within thirty (30) days after the written statement of grievance the other
party does not agree to furnish the relief requested or proposed, or otherwise does not satisfy the demand of the party claiming to be aggrieved, the other party shall provide a statement of reasons, identifying witnesses or documents then
reasonably known to that party in support of its position. Either party may then submit the dispute to nonbinding mediation before a mediator to be jointly selected by the parties within fourteen (14) business days thereafter. The Company will
pay the cost of the mediation. Such mediation shall be completed within sixty (60) days of the submission of the dispute to a mediator.

5.1.4 Arbitration Proceeding.If the mediation does not produce a resolution of the dispute, or if the parties fail to cooperate with such mediation, the Company and Employee agree that final and binding arbitration will be
the exclusive remedy for any employment related dispute between them which is based on a legally protected right, including without limitation, any common law claims such as breach of contract or commission of a tort, and any claims arising under
the federal, state or local civil rights laws, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, 42 U.S.C. §
1981, the Worker Adjustment or Retraining Notification Act, the California Fair Employment & Housing Act, the California Family Rights Act, Californias Pregnancy Disability Leave law, and all other federal, state or local employment
related statutes, ordinances and common law. Employee acknowledges that Employee waives the right to litigate the foregoing employment related legal claims in a judicial forum before a judge or jury.



18



---

This arbitration provision does not apply to any Employee claim for workers compensation benefits
(with the exception of claims pursuant to California Labor Code section 132a), claims under the National Labor Relations Act, unemployment compensation benefits or denial of benefits pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended (ERISA), or to the filing of Employee charges with government agencies.

5.1.5 Claim Initiation/Time Limits.A
party must notify the other party in writing at the addresses indicated below of a request to arbitrate a dispute within the same statute of limitations applicable to the legal claim asserted. The written request for arbitration must specify:
(i) the factual basis on which the claim is made; (ii) the statutory provision or legal theory under which the claim is made; and (iii) the nature and extent of any relief or remedy sought.

5.1.6 Procedures.Arbitration will be before a single arbitrator in Los Angeles, California, unless the parties mutually agree to hold the
arbitration in a different location. The arbitration will be administered in accordance with the Employment Dispute Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), a copy of which is available upon request to the
Company. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then the AAA rules will govern selection. The Company will pay the fees of the AAA and the arbitrator. However, in the event Employee requests an arbitration, Employee will be required to
contribute an amount equal to the fee required to file a complaint of the same type in the state court which is geographically closest to the site of the arbitration. Employee and the Company may be represented by counsel of their choosing at their
own expense. However, the arbitrator may award attorneys fees and costs to a prevailing party if authorized by the statute or common law under which the claim is made.

5.1.7 Responsibilities of Arbitrator.The arbitrator will act as the impartial decision maker of any claims that come within the scope of
this arbitration provision. The arbitrator will have the powers and authorities provided by the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA and the statute or common law under which the claim is made. For example, the arbitrator will have
the power and authority to include all remedies in the award available under the statute or common law under which the claim is made including, without limitation, the issuance of an injunction. The arbitrator will apply the elements and burdens of
proof, mitigation duty, interim earnings offsets and other legal rules or requirements under the statutory provision or common law under which such claim is made. The arbitrator will permit reasonable pre-hearing discovery. The arbitrator will have
the power to issue subpoenas. The arbitrator will have the authority to issue a summary disposition if there are no material factual issues in dispute requiring a hearing and the Company or Employee is entitled to an award in its or his favor. The
arbitrator will issue a signed written opinion and award that will include findings of fact and conclusions of law. If any monetary award is made, the arbitrator will specify the elements and factual basis for calculating the amount. The
arbitrators award will be enforceable, and a judgment may be entered thereon, in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding; provided, however, limited judicial
review may be obtained in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) on any ground referred to in the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.; (ii) where the findings of fact are not supported by substantial evidence; or
(iii) where the arbitrators conclusions of law are erroneous.

subject to the proviso in the succeeding sentence) which the Company may



20



---

have against Employee or others, other than any action the Company may need to take pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In no
event shall Employee be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Employee under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Employee
obtains other employment; provided that the Companys obligation under Sections 3.3.1, 3.5.3 and 4.3 with respect to medical and dental benefits shall be limited to the extent that Employee obtains any such medical or
dental benefits from another employer during the benefit continuation period provided thereunder, in which case the Company may reduce the coverage of any medical and dental benefits it is required to provide Employee under Sections 3.3.1,
3.5.3 and 4.3 as long as the aggregate coverages of the combined benefits provided by the Company and such other employer are comparable to the benefits to be provided to Employee by the Company under Sections 3.3.1, 3.5.3 and
4.3. The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason.

5.6 Assignability. The Company may assign its interest in this Agreement to any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and the
provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Employee may not assign or transfer this Agreement, it being deemed personal to Employee only; provided, however, upon
Employees death, Employees heirs, executors and/or administrators may seek collection of any sums that may have been due Employee as of Employees death. Subject to the above, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

5.7 Deductions.
The Company shall deduct from any payment to Employee hereunder such social security insurance, federal, state and other taxes, state disability insurance and other withholdings as may be required by law.

be found to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement and any application thereof shall, nevertheless, continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

5.9 Waiver.No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances,
shall be deemed to be or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or as a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement.

5.10 Headings. The headings herein used are for convenience purposes only and shall not be used to construe the meaning of this Agreement
in any respect.

all other matters related to the Agreement, shall be interpreted and governed by the laws of the State of California.

documents, provide declarations or statements to the Company, meet with attorneys or other representatives of the Company, prepare for and give depositions or testimony, render consulting services and/or otherwise cooperate in the investigation,
defense or prosecution of any or all such matters. Separate from any compensation provided pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, the Company agrees that if the provision of such services is more than minimal in nature, it shall promptly
compensate Employee at the rate of $500 per hour, and will reimburse Employee for reasonable out of pocket expenses. Any reimbursement payable pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall be paid as soon as administratively feasible upon request,
but in all cases, such reimbursement shall be paid no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the expense is incurred. This Section 5.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. In order to ensure that
Employees termination of employment pursuant to Article III constitutes a Separation from Service, the services to be performed by Employee pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall not be more than insignificant services for the
Company as provided under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(ii).
