such notice. Such termination shall occur immediately following expiration of the cure period to the extent such event remains uncured. 

5.5 Termination by Mutual Consent. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, if at any time during the
course of this Agreement the parties by mutual consent decide to terminate Executive’s employment, they may do so by separate agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of such termination.

“Severance Notice”) to Executive stating (a) the obligations and restrictions set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement no longer apply to Executive and (b) the final end date of the Restricted Period. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that no Severance Benefits will be paid by the Company to Executive following delivery of a Severance Notice to Executive.

subsequently revoke, within sixty (60) days following the termination of his employment a release in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company of all claims arising out of his employment or the termination thereof. After the first anniversary
of the Termination Date, Severance Benefits, if any, may also be offset by any earnings of Executive after the first anniversary of the Termination Date from other employment. While receiving Severance Benefits, Executive shall notify the Company
upon obtaining other employment and provide evidence of base salary and/or bonus and incentive payments that Executive may receive from new employment while receiving Severance Benefits. 












 5.8 Cooperation with Company after Termination of Employment. Following termination
of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in all matters relating to the winding up of his pending work on behalf of the Company including, but not limited to, any litigation in which the
Company is involved and the orderly transfer of any such pending work to other employees of the Company as may be designated by the Company. The Company shall reasonably compensate Executive for services rendered pursuant to this Section 5.8 at
a rate to be determined by the parties. In addition, the Company shall reimburse Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses he incurs in performing any work on
behalf of the Company following the termination of his employment. 
 6.
NON-SOLICITATION & NON-COMPETITION 
 6.1
Non-Compete. Executive agrees that during the Term and for three (3) years following the Termination Date (the “Restricted Period”), Executive shall not, anywhere in the
areas where the Company conducts business (or has expanded resources or time to plan the conduct of business) during the Term, including, but not limited to the United States (the “Restricted Territory”), directly or indirectly,
own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be an officer or an employee of any business or organization that, directly or indirectly (i) provides medical or health care services
of any type to Medicare beneficiaries, or (ii) offers or manages any plan contracting with the Medicare Advantage program or with any dual Medicare/Medicaid program or provides administrative or other services to such plan (each, a
“Restricted Business”). The foregoing shall not restrict Executive from owning up to 1% of any class of securities of any person engaged in a Restricted Business if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities
exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as long as such securities are held solely as a passive investment and not with a view to influencing, controlling or directing the affairs
of such person. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Restricted Period may be for a period less than three (3) years following the Termination Date if (and only if) the Company delivers a Severance Notice pursuant to Section 5.6 but
in no event shall such period be for a period less than one year following the Termination Date. 
 6.2 Non-Solicitation. Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, (i) solicit, induce,
attempt to solicit or induce, or hire or attempt to hire any person that is an employee of the Company or was within twelve (12) months prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, this Section 6.2 shall not be breached
by a solicitation to the general public or through general advertising and Executive may solicit for employment any person who at the Termination Date had not been an. employee of the Company at any time within six (6) months preceding such
date or whose employment with the Company had terminated more than six (6) months prior to Executive’s solicitation of such person or (ii) solicit, advise or encourage any person, firm, government agency or corporation (a
“Customer”) (including without limitation any potential customer of the Company that is engaged in discussion with the Company to do business with the Company), to withdraw, curtail or cancel its business (or potential business)
with the Company. 












 6.3 Non-Disparagement. During the Term
and thereafter, Executive agrees that he will not, at any time, make, directly or indirectly, any oral or written statements that are disparaging of the Company, its business, its products or services, or any of its present or former officers,
directors, members, stockholders, managers or employees. 
 6.4 Reasonable Limitation and Severability. The parties agree that the
above restrictions on competition are (i) appropriate and reasonable given Executive’s role with and knowledge of the Company, and are necessary to protect the interests of the Company and (ii) completely severable and independent
agreements supported by good and valuable consideration and, as such, shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. Executive acknowledges that Executive has carefully considered the terms of this Agreement, including
the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6, and acknowledges that if this Agreement is enforced according to its terms, Executive will be able to earn a reasonable living in commercial activities unrelated to the business of the
Company in locations satisfactory to Executive. Executive also acknowledges that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6 are a vital part of and are intrinsic to the ongoing operations of the Company, in light of the nature of the
business of the Company and the unique position, skills and knowledge of Executive with the Company. The parties further agree that any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions on competition shall not rentier invalid
or unenforceable any remaining restrictions on competition. Additionally, should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Section 6 is too broad to be enforced as written, the parties hereby authorize
the court to reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable and the parties intend that the affected provision be enforced as so amended. Executive acknowledges and agrees that to the extent Executive
has breached or is in breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 6.1 or 6.2, the Restricted Period shall be extended by an amount of time equal to the duration of such breach. 

6.5 Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the customers, business connections, customer lists,
procedures, operations, techniques and other aspects of and information about the business of the Company (the “Confidential Information”) are established at great expense and protected as confidential information and provide the
Company with a substantial competitive advantage in conducting its business. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that by virtue of his employment with the Company, he has had access to and will have access to, and has been entrusted with and
will be entrusted with Confidential Information, and that the Company would suffer great loss and injury if Executive would disclose this information or use it in a manner not specifically authorized by the Company. Therefore, Executive agrees that
during the Term, and at all times thereafter, he will not, directly or indirectly, either individually or as an employee, agent, partner, shareholder, owner trustee, beneficiary, co-venturer distributor,
consultant or in any other capacity, use or disclose or cause to be used or disclosed any Confidential Information, unless and to the extent that any such information becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a
result of Executive’s acts or omissions. Executive shall deliver to the Company at the termination of the Term, or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer discs, flash drives, printouts
and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) in any media form relating to the Confidential Information, Work Product (as defined below) or the business of the Company which he may then possess or have under his control. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that all inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) that relate to the Company’s actual or
anticipated business research and development or existing or future products or services and that are conceived, developed or made by the Executive while employed by the Company (“Work Product”) belong to the Company.

 7.13 Taxes & IRC Section 409A Matters.
The Company may withhold from any payment hereunder such state, federal or local income, employment or other taxes and other legally mandated withholdings as it reasonably deems appropriate. The Company makes no representation about the tax
treatment or impact of any payment(s) hereunder. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code, as amended (“Section 409A”), to the extent
subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) if at the time of Executive’s
termination of employment with the Company, Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of
employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or
benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) until the date that is six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A); (ii) if any
other payments of money or other benefits due to Executive hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or
other benefits compliant under Section 409A, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner determined by the Company that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax;
(iii) to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement and no payment
shall be due to Executive under this Agreement until Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A; and (iv) each amount to be paid or benefit to be
provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, which constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A. To the extent required to avoid an
accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, amounts reimbursable to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of
expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to Executive) during any one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year. Neither the Company nor any of its
employees or representatives shall have any liability to Executive with respect to Section 409A. 
 7.14 Survival. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all covenants, representations and warranties, express or implied, in addition to the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement, shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 












 7.15 Review by Counsel. Executive has been advised that Executive should consult with
his own legal advisor prior to executing this Agreement, and Executive acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to consult with and review the terms of this Agreement with counsel prior to execution of this Agreement.
