exclusive authority and control over the healthcare aspects of Practice and its practice to the extent they constitute the practice of a licensed profession, including all diagnosis, treatment and ethical determinations with respect to patients
which are required by law to be decided by a licensed professional. Any delegation of authority by Practice to Manager that would require or permit Manager to engage in the practice of a profession shall be prohibited and deemed ineffective, and
Practice shall have the sole authority with respect to such matters. Manager shall not be required or permitted to engage in, and Practice shall not request Manager to engage in, activities that constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or
another similar profession in the states in which Practice operates. Manager shall not direct, control, attempt to control, influence, restrict or interfere with Practice’s or any of the physicians’ or Practitioners’ exercise of
independent clinical, medical or professional judgment in providing healthcare or medical related services. 
 3.2 Relationship of the
Parties. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating a partnership, trustee, fiduciary joint venture or employment relationship between Manager and Practice. In performing all services required hereunder, Manager shall be in the
relation of an independent contractor to Practice, providing services to the Facilities operated by Practice. 
 3.3 No Patient
Referrals. Manager shall neither have nor exercise any control or direction over the number, type or recipient of patient referrals and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as directing or influencing such referrals. Nothing in this
Agreement is to be construed to restrict the professional judgment of Practice or any Practitioner to use any medical 

  
 4 








 
practice or facility where necessary or desirable in order to provide proper and appropriate treatment or care to a patient or to comply with the wishes of the patient. No part of this Agreement
shall be construed to induce, encourage, solicit or reimburse the referral of any patients or business, including any patient or business funded in whole or in part by federal or state government programs (i.e., Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, etc.).
The parties acknowledge that there is no requirement under this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties that either refer patients to the other or any of their respective affiliates. No payment made under this Agreement shall be in
return for the referral of patients or business, including those paid in whole or in part by federal or state government programs. 
 3.4
Compliance with Corporate Practice of Medicine. The parties hereto have made all reasonable efforts to ensure that this Agreement complies with the corporate practice of medicine prohibitions in the states in which it operates. The parties
hereto understand and acknowledge that such laws may change, be amended, have guidance or have a different interpretation and the parties intend to comply with such laws in the event of such occurrences. Under this Agreement, Practice and its
Practitioners shall have the exclusive authority and control over the medical aspects of Practice to the extent they constitute the practice of medicine, while Manager shall have the sole authority to manage the business aspects of Practice as more
fully described in Article 2 of this Agreement. Manager shall not direct, control, attempt to control, influence, restrict or interfere with Practice’s or any of its Practitioners’ exercise of independent clinical, medical or professional
judgment in providing healthcare or medical related services.

practitioners to the general public in a manner similar to the medically assisted addiction therapy clinic operated by the Facilities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) in direct competition with Manager engage in or participate in the
management of medically assisted addiction therapy clinics or facilities staffed by physicians, physician 

  
 13 








 
assistants or nurse practitioners and providing the services of physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners to the general public in a manner similar to the Facilities pursuant to
this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, “Restricted Territory” shall mean any location within 25 miles of a Facility or other addiction therapy or behavioral health facility owned, operated, or managed by Manager or one of
Manager’s affiliates. 
 9.2 During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years after the termination or
expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Practice and each Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly without Manager’s prior written consent: 

9.2.1 Solicit, hire or engage any individual working for, or previously working for, Manager, the Facilities, or Practice as an
employee, independent contractor, consultant, agent or representative; 
 9.2.2 Induce or attempt to influence any employee
or contractor of Manager, the Facilities, Practice to terminate his, her, or its employment or engagement with Manager, the Facilities or Practice; or 

9.2.3 Restrict, limit, interfere, induce or influence any physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, nurse, laboratory
technician, medical assistant or provider of health professional services that has provided services at the Facilities from becoming an employee or independent contractor of Manager (if permitted by applicable law) or of another practice or
professional corporation that is managed by Manager. Practice further agrees to release any such physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, nurse, laboratory technician, medical assistant or provider from any non-compete or other similar
restrictive covenant so that such individuals can be employed or engaged by Manager (if permitted by applicable law) or by another practice or professional corporation managed by Manager. 

9.3 Practice shall ensure that any and all agreements between Practice and any Practitioner contain non-competition agreements and restrictive
covenants satisfactory to Manager. Practice and each Shareholder shall take any and all steps necessary to enforce such restrictive covenants with such Practitioners to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

9.4 Practice and each Shareholder understands and acknowledges that the foregoing provisions in this Section are designed to preserve the
goodwill of Manager and its affiliates, the trade secrets of Manager, and the workforce of Manager and its owned, operated, or managed clinics. 

9.5 Practice and each Shareholder understands and acknowledges that violation of this Section 9 will cause irreparable harm to Manager,
the exact amount of which will be impossible to ascertain, and for that reason Practice and each Shareholder agrees that Manager shall be entitled to seek, without the necessity of showing any actual damage or posting a bond (unless required by
law), from any court of competent jurisdiction temporary or permanent injunctive relief and/ or specific performance of this Agreement restraining Practice from any act prohibited by this Section 9. 

  
 14 








 9.6 Nothing in this paragraph shall limit Manager’s right to recover any other damages or
remedies to which it is entitled as a result of Practice’s or any Shareholder’s breach. If any one or more of the provisions of this Section 9 or any word, phrase, clause, sentence or other portion of this Section 9 (including
without limitation the geographical, duration or scope of activity restrictions contained in this Section 9) shall be held to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, such provision or portion of provision shall be modified or deleted in
such a manner so as to make this Section 9, as modified, legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. 

9.7 The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE 10 
 GENERAL

 10.1 Indemnification. Each of Practice and Manager hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other, its
officers, directors, owners, members, employees, agents, affiliates and subcontractors, from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, diminution in value, losses, liabilities, actions, lawsuits and other proceedings, judgments, fines,
assessments, penalties, awards, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), whether or not covered by insurance, arising directly out of (a) any material breach of any provision, warranty or representation contained in this
Agreement or (b) any acts or omissions by such indemnifying party, its owners, employees, agents or subcontractors. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. A party seeking
indemnification shall immediately notify the other of any lawsuits or actions, or any threat thereof, that are known or become known to it that might adversely affect any interest of Practice or Manager whatsoever. 

10.2 Arbitration. All disputes relative to interpretation of the provisions of this Agreement or any other dispute arising among the
parties shall be resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining. Arbitration proceedings shall be held in Nashville, Tennessee. The parties may, if they are able to do so, agree upon one
arbitrator; otherwise, there shall be three (3) arbitrators selected to resolve disputes pursuant to this Section 10.2, one named in writing by each party within fifteen (15) days after notice of arbitration is served upon a party by
the other party, and a third arbitrator selected by the two (2) arbitrators selected by the parties within fifteen (15) days thereafter. If one party does not choose an arbitrator within such fifteen (15) days, the other party shall
request that the American Arbitration Association name such other arbitrator. No one shall serve as arbitrator who is in any way financially interested in this Agreement or in the affairs of either party or its affiliates. Each party shall pay its
own expenses of arbitration and one-half of the expenses of the arbitrators. If any position by any party hereunder, or any defense or objection thereto, is deemed by the arbitrators to have been unreasonable, the arbitrators shall assess, as part
of their award against the unreasonable party or reduce the award to the unreasonable party, all or part of the arbitration expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the other party and of the arbitrators.

 10.15 Limited Renegotiation. This Agreement shall be

decision, guidance or interpretation that has any material effect on any Term of this Agreement, then the applicable term(s) of this Agreement shall be subject to renegotiation and either party may request renegotiation of the affected term or terms
of this Agreement, upon written notice to the other party, to remedy such condition. 

  
 17 








 The parties expressly recognize that upon request for renegotiation, each party has a duty and
obligation to the other only to renegotiate the affected term(s) in good faith and, further, each party expressly agrees that its consent to proposals submitted by the other party during renegotiation efforts shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

Should the parties be unable to renegotiate the term or terms so affected so as to bring it/them into compliance with the statute, regulation
or judicial opinion, guidance or interpretation that rendered it/them unlawful or unenforceable within ninety (90) days of the date on which notice of a desired renegotiation is given, then either party shall be entitled, after the expiration
of said ninety (90) day period, to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) additional days written notice to the other party.

 ADDENDUM A 

HIPAA BUSINESS ASSOCIATE ADDENDUM 

This Business Associate Addendum (“Addendum”) amends and is made part of that certain Management Services Agreement between
                             (“Entity”) and American Addiction Centers, Inc.
(“Associate”). 
 Entity and Associate agree that the parties incorporate this Addendum into the Agreement in order to comply with
the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”) and their implementing regulations set forth at 45
C.F.R. Parts 160 and Part 164 (the “HIPAA Rules”). To the extent Associate is acting as a Business Associate of Entity pursuant to the Agreement, the provisions of this Addendum shall apply, and Associate shall be subject to the penalty
provisions of HIPAA as specified in 45 CFR Part 160. 
 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Addendum
shall have the meaning set forth in the HIPAA Rules. References to “PHI” mean Protected Health Information maintained, created, received or transmitted by Associate from Entity or on Entity’s behalf. 

2. Uses or Disclosures. Associate will neither use nor disclose PHI except as permitted or required by this Addendum or as Required By
Law. To the extent Associate is to carry out an obligation of a Covered Entity under 45 CFR Part 164, Subparts A and E, Associate shall comply with the requirements of 45 CFR Part 164, Subparts A and E that apply to such Covered Entity in the
performance of such obligation. Associate is permitted to use and disclose PHI: 
 (a) to perform any and all obligations of Associate as
described in the Agreement, provided that such use or disclosure would not violate the HIPAA Rules, if done by Entity directly; 
 (b) as
otherwise permitted by law, provided that such use or disclosure would not violate the HIPAA Rules, if done by Entity directly and provided that Entity gives its prior written consent; 

(c) to perform Data Aggregation services relating to Entity’s health care operations; 

(d) to report violations of the law to federal or state authorities consistent with 45 CFR § 164.502(j)(1); 

(e) as necessary for Associate’s proper management and administration and to carry out Associate’s legal responsibilities
(collectively “Associate’s Operations”), provided that Associate may only disclose PHI for Associate’s Operations if the disclosure is Required By Law or Associate obtains reasonable assurance, evidenced by a written contract,
from the recipient that the recipient will: (1) hold such PHI in confidence and use or further disclose it only for the purpose for which it was disclosed or as Required By Law; and (2) notify Associate of any instance of which the
recipient becomes aware in which the confidentiality of such PHI was breached; 

  
 20 








 (f) to create de-identified information in accordance with 45 CFR § 164.514(b), provided
that such de-identified information may be used and disclosed only consistent with applicable law; 
 (g) to create a limited data set as
defined at 45 CFR §164.514(e)(2), provided that Associate will only use and disclose such limited data set for purposes of research, public health or health care operations and will comply with the data use agreement requirements of 45 CFR
§164.514(e)(4), including that Associate will not identify the information or contact the individuals. 
 In the event Entity notifies
Associate of a restriction request that would restrict a use or disclosure otherwise permitted by this Addendum, Associate shall comply with the terms of the restriction request. 

3. Safeguards. Associate will use appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to prevent the use or disclosure of PHI
other than as permitted by this Addendum. Associate will also comply with the applicable provisions of 45 CFR Part 164, Subpart C with respect to electronic PHI to prevent any use or disclosure of such information other than as provided by this
Addendum. 
 4. Subcontractors. In accordance with 45 CFR §§ 164.308(b)(2) and 164.502(e)(1)(ii), Associate will ensure
that all of its subcontractors that create, receive, maintain or transmit PHI on behalf of Associate agree by written contract to comply with the same restrictions and conditions that apply to Associate with respect to such PHI, including but not
limited to the obligation to comply with applicable provisions of 45 CFR Part 164, Subpart C. 
 5. Minimum Necessary. Associate
represents that the PHI requested, used or disclosed by Associate shall be the minimum amount necessary to carry out the purposes of the Agreement. Associate will limit its uses and disclosures of, and requests for, PHI (i) when practical, to
the information making up a Limited Data Set; and (ii) in all other cases subject to the requirements of 45 CFR § 164.502(b), to the minimum amount of PHI necessary to accomplish the intended purpose of the use, disclosure or request. 

6. Entity Obligations. Entity shall notify Associate of (i) any limitations in its notice of privacy practices, (ii) any
changes in, or revocation of, permission by an individual to use or disclose PHI, and (iii) any confidential communication request or restriction on the use or disclosure of PHI that Entity has agreed to or with which Entity is required to
comply, to the extent any of the foregoing affect Associate’s use or disclosure of PHI. Entity shall not request Associate to use or disclose PHI in a manner not permitted by the HIPAA Rules and shall obtain any permissions or authorizations,
if any, required to disclose PHI to Associate pursuant to the Agreement. 
 7. Access and Amendment. In accordance with 45 CFR §
164.524, Associate shall permit Entity or, at Entity’s request, an individual (or the individual’s designee) to inspect and obtain copies of any PHI about the individual that is in Associate’s custody or control and that is


  
 21 








 
maintained in a Designated Record Set. If the requested PHI is maintained electronically, Associate must provide a copy of the PHI in the electronic form and format requested by the individual,
if it is readily producible, or, if not, in a readable electronic form and format as agreed to by Entity and the individual. Associate will, upon receipt of notice from Entity, promptly amend or permit Entity access to amend PHI so that Entity may
meet its amendment obligations under 45 CFR § 164.526. 
 8. Accounting. Except for disclosures excluded from the accounting
obligation by the HIPAA Rules and regulations issued pursuant to HITECH, Associate will record for each disclosure that Associate makes of PHI the information necessary for Entity to make an accounting of disclosures pursuant to the HIPAA Rules. In
the event the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) finalizes regulations requiring Covered Entities to provide access reports, Associate shall also record such information with respect to electronic PHI held by Associate as
would be required under the regulations for Covered Entities beginning on the effective date of such regulations. Associate will make information required to be recorded pursuant to this Section available to Entity promptly upon Entity’s
request for the period requested, but for no longer than required by the HIPAA Rules (except Associate need not have any information for disclosures occurring before the effective date of this Addendum). 

9. Inspection of Books and Records. Associate will make its internal practices, books, and records, relating to its use and disclosure
of PHI, available upon request to HHS to determine compliance with the HIPAA Rules. 
 10. Reporting. To the extent Associate becomes
aware or discovers any use or disclosure of PHI not permitted by this Addendum, any Security Incident involving electronic PHI or any Breach of Unsecured Protected Health Information, Associate shall promptly report such use, disclosure, Security
Incident or Breach to Entity. Associate shall mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect known to it of a Security Incident, Breach or use or disclosure of PHI by Associate not permitted by this Addendum. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the parties acknowledge and agree that this section constitutes notice by Associate to Entity of the ongoing existence and occurrence of attempted but Unsuccessful Security Incidents (as defined below) for which no additional notice to Entity shall
be required. “Unsuccessful Security Incidents” shall include, but not be limited to, pings and other broadcast attacks on Associate’s firewall, port scans, unsuccessful log-on attempts, denials of service and any combination of the
above, so long as no such incident results in unauthorized access, use or disclosure of electronic PHI. All reports of Breaches shall be made in compliance with 45 CFR § 164.410. 

11. Term. This Addendum shall be effective as of the effective date of the Agreement and shall remain in effect until termination of
the Agreement. Either party may terminate this Addendum and the Agreement effective immediately if it determines that the other party has breached a material provision of this Addendum and failed to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of
being notified by the other party of the breach. If the non-breaching party determines that cure is not possible, such party may terminate this Addendum and the Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to other party. 

  
 22 








 Upon termination of this Addendum for any reason, Associate will, if feasible, return to Entity
or destroy all PHI maintained by Associate in any form or medium, including all copies of such PHI. Further, Associate shall recover any PHI in the possession of its agents and subcontractors and return to Entity or securely destroy all such PHI. In
the event that Associate determines that returning or destroying any PHI is infeasible, Associate may maintain such PHI but shall continue to abide by the terms and conditions of this Addendum with respect to such PHI and shall limit its further use
or disclosure of such PHI to those purposes that make return or destruction of the PHI infeasible. Upon termination of this Addendum for any reason, all of Associate’s obligations under this Addendum shall survive termination and remain in
effect (a) until Associate has completed the return or destruction of PHI as required by this Section and (b) to the extent Associate retains any PHI pursuant to this Section. 

12. General Provisions. In the event that any final regulation or amendment to final regulations is promulgated by HHS or other
government regulatory authority with respect to PHI, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Addendum to remain in compliance with such regulations. Any ambiguity in this Addendum shall be resolved to permit Entity and Associate to
comply with the HIPAA Rules. Nothing in this Addendum shall be construed to create any rights or remedies in any third parties or any agency relationship between the parties. A reference in this Addendum to a section in the HIPAA Rules means the
section as in effect or as amended. The terms and conditions of this Addendum override and control any conflicting term or condition of the Agreement and replace and supersede any prior business associate agreements in place between the parties. All
non-conflicting terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.
