this Agreement by such indemnifying party, or any of its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors; provided, however, that neither party shall be liable to the other party hereunder for any claim covered by insurance, except to the extent
that the liability of such party exceeds the amount of such insurance coverage. 
 Section 7. General Provisions 
 7.1 Access to Records. To the extent required by Section 1861(v)(1)(1) of the Social Security Act, as amended, and by valid regulation
which is directly applicable to that Section, Corporation agrees to make available upon valid written request from the Secretary of HHS, the Comptroller General, or any other duly authorized representatives, this Agreement and the books, documents
and records of Corporation to the extent that such books, documents and records are necessary to certify the nature and extent of Genoptix’ costs for services provided by Corporation. 







 Corporation shall also make available such subcontract and the books, documents, and records of any
subcontractor if that subcontractor performs any of the Corporation or Medical Director’s duties under this Agreement at a cost of $10,000 or more over a twelve-month period, and if that subcontractor is organizationally related to Corporation.

 Such books, documents, and records shall be preserved and available for four (4) years after the furnishing of services by
Corporation pursuant to this Agreement. If Corporation is requested to disclose books, documents or records pursuant to this subsection for purposes of an audit, Corporation shall notify Genoptix of the nature and scope of such request and
Corporation shall make available, upon written request of Genoptix, all such books, documents or records. Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless Genoptix in the event that any amount of reimbursement is denied or disallowed because of the
failure of Corporation or any subcontractor to comply with its obligations to maintain and make available books, documents, or records pursuant to this subsection. Such indemnity shall include, but not be limited to, the amount of reimbursement
denied, plus any interest, penalties and legal costs. 
 This section is intended to assure compliance with Section 1861 of the Social
Security Act, as amended, and regulations directly pertinent to that Act. The obligations of Corporation under this section are strictly limited to compliance with those provisions, and shall be given effect only to the extent necessary to insure
compliance with those provisions. In the event that the requirements of those provisions are reduced or eliminated, the obligations of the parties under this section shall likewise be reduced or eliminated. 
 7.2 Covenant Not to Compete. During the term of this Agreement, neither Corporation nor Medical Director shall consult, manage or provide
any services similar to those required to be performed under this Agreement for any other clinical laboratory within Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego Counties in California, without the prior written consent of Genoptix, which consent may be
withheld in Genoptix’ sole discretion. Corporation and Medical Director acknowledge that a breach of this Section 7.2 by either Corporation or Medical Director shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and will result in
irreparable injury to Genoptix, the precise amount of which is not readily ascertainable in monetary damages. Genoptix, in addition to any other remedies, shall be entitled to injunctive relief. 
 7.3 Nonsolicitation. During the term of this Agreement and for a twelve- (12) month period commencing on the date of the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement, neither Corporation nor Medical Director shall, without the prior written consent of Genoptix, employ or contract with, or solicit for employment or contract, any employee or independent contractor of Genoptix
to provide services similar to those provided in this Agreement. It is hereby agreed by all parties that in the event that Corporation or Medical Director employs or retains any employee or independent contractor of Genoptix, Corporation and/or
Medical Director shall pay to Genoptix, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, a sum equal to one- (1) year’s salary of the person so employed or retained by Corporation and/or Medical Director. This sum represents the reasonable
endeavor by the parties hereto to estimate a fair compensation for the foreseeable and unforeseeable losses that might result from any such violation of this Section 7.3 by Corporation. 







 7.4 Confidential Information. Corporation and Medical Director recognize and understand
that, during the terms of this Agreement, Corporation and Medical Director shall receive, have access to or otherwise, become acquainted with various trade secrets, materials and other proprietary information related to Genoptix which is of a secret
or confidential nature (“Confidential Information”). During and after the term of this Agreement, Corporation and Medical Director shall not use the Confidential Information for any purposes other than the performance of this Agreement,
and shall not disclose such Confidential Information for any purposes other than the performance of this Agreement, and shall not disclose such Confidential Information received by Corporation or Medical Director to any third party, without prior
written consent of Genoptix. Upon the termination of this Agreement, Corporation and Medical Director shall promptly deliver to Genoptix all documents and material of any kind pertaining to Genoptix, and neither Corporation nor Medical Director will
take any documents, materials or copies thereof, whether on paper, magnetic or optical media or any other median, containing any Confidential Information. Corporation and Medical Director acknowledge that a breach of this Section 7.4 will
result in irreparable injury to Genoptix, the precise amount of which is not readily ascertainable in monetary damages. Genoptix, in addition to any other remedies, shall be entitled to injunctive relief. 
 7.5 Authorization for Agreement. The execution and performance of this Agreement by Corporation and Genoptix have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action, and is not in violation of: (a) any law, rule or regulation of any governmental entity having jurisdiction over either Genoptix or Corporation; or (b) the articles or bylaws of the parties hereto. This
Agreement constitutes the valid obligation of Genoptix and Corporation, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
 7.6 Force
Majeure. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, Genoptix shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder for failing to perform any of the obligations to be performed by Genoptix pursuant to this Agreement if such failure
is the result of any labor dispute, act of God, inability to obtain labor or materials, governmental restrictions or any other cause without fault beyond the reasonable control of Genoptix. In addition, under no circumstances shall Genoptix be
liable for consequential damages or otherwise, for any failure or interruption of any utility or building service at the Laboratory. Genoptix shall not be liable for injury to Corporation’s business or medical practice or for any loss of income
or for damage to the goods, wares or other property of Corporation caused by any such failure or interruption under this Section 7.6. 
 7.7 No Third Party Beneficiary. None of the provisions herein contained are intended by the parties, nor shall they be deemed, to confer any benefit on any person not a party to this Agreement. 
 7.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and governed by and under the laws of the State of California, as such laws are
applicable to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California between residents of California, without regard to conflict of law principles.
