      a
      condition and mutual inducement to the Acquisition, the Transaction Documents

      Non-Competition Agreement effective on the Effective Date.

     

    AGREEMENT

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, Purchaser and
      the Obligor hereby agree as follows:

     

    1. Covenant
      Not to Compete or Solicit.
      Obligor
      recognizes that entering into a competitive practice with the Purchaser would
      deprive the Purchaser of some or all of its practice sources to the substantial
      detriment of the Purchaser’s ongoing practice and Obligor acknowledges that the
      Purchaser has a substantial interest in protecting itself from unfair
      competition, including the improper use of Proprietary Information. In
      consideration of the substantial compensation paid to Obligor by the Purchaser,
      and the other benefits received by Obligor hereunder, Obligor agrees with the
      Purchaser that the following restrictive covenants are reasonably designed
      to
      protect the legitimate interests of the Purchaser:

     

    1.1 Covenant
      Not to Compete.
      Obligor
      agrees that for so long as Obligor is employed by Purchaser or its assigns
      and
      for one year thereafter (“Restricted
      Period”),
      Obligor shall not, directly or indirectly, as an employee, employer, contractor,
      consultant, agent, principal, shareholder, corporate officer, director, or
      in
      any other individual or representative capacity, engage or participate in any
      business or practice within the Practice Territory (as defined herein) that
      is
      in competition in any manner whatsoever with the practice of the Purchaser,
      the
      New PA, and the New Clinics. The parties mutually acknowledge and agree as
      follows:

     

    (a) If
      Obligor should set up an office and practice medicine within the Practice
      Territory in competition with the practice of the Purchaser, it would cause
      economic harm and loss of goodwill to the Purchaser resulting in immediate
      and
      irreparable loss, injuries, and damage to the Purchaser.

     

    (b) Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary in this Section 1.1, physician is not prohibited from
      owning less than five percent (5%) of the equity of any publicly-traded
      entity.

     

    (c) Neither
      the public in general nor any patients will be adversely affected by the
      enforcement of the non-competition covenant, in that other similar providers
      of
      professional medical services are readily available within the restricted
      area.

     

    1.2 Practice
      Territory.
      The
      Purchaser is actively engaged in the practice of general
      family and urgent care and ancillary medical services such as rehabilitation
      and
      physical medicine
      in
      various locations within the Dallas and Fort Worth metropolitan areas, and
      it is
      therefore agreed that the term of “Practice
      Territory”
shall
      mean: a ten (10) mile radius of either Clinic. In the event that the provisions
      of this Section 1.2 are deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed
      the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then
      such
      provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope
      limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    1.3 Remedies.
      Without
      limiting other possible remedies to Purchaser for breach of this covenant,
      Obligor agrees that injunctive or other equitable relief will be available
      to
      enforce the covenants of this provision, such relief to be without the necessity
      of posting a bond, cash or otherwise. In any action to enforce any provision
      of
      this Section, the court may award reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and
      expenses to the prevailing party. 

     

    1.4 Limitations
      On Covenants.
      Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 1 or anywhere else in this
      Agreement: 

     

    (a) Under
      no
      circumstance shall any provision of this Agreement be deemed to deny Obligor
      access to a list of patients whom Obligor had seen or treated prior to or within
      two (2) years after the closing of the Acquisition. 

     

    (b) After
      closing of the Acquisition, the Purchaser (at its expense) shall provide Obligor
      reasonably convenient and ready access to medical records of any or all of
      the
      Obligor’s patients upon authorization of such patient or patients and shall
      provide copies of any such medical records for a reasonable fee as established
      by the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners under Section 165.5 of Title
      22,
      Part 9, Chapter 165, of the Texas Administrative Code and Section 5.08(o) of
      the
      Texas Medical Practice Act.

     

    (c) Any
      access by Obligor to a list of patients or to patients’ medical records after
      closing of the Acquisition shall not require that such list or records be
      provided in a format different from that by which such records are maintained,
      except by mutual consent of the Purchaser and Obligor.

     

    (d) In
      no
      event shall Obligor be prohibited by this Agreement from providing continuing
      care and treatment to a specific patient or patients (whom the Obligor treated
      prior to the closing of the Acquisition) during the course of an acute illness
      even after Obligor’s consulting relationship with the Purchaser has
      terminated.

     

    (e) The
      covenants contained in this Agreement shall not apply to Obligor’s ownership,
      management or other interest in (either directly or indirectly) those entities
      listed on Exhibit
      “A”
      attached
      hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes.

     

    1.6 Proprietary
      Information.
      For
      purposes of this Agreement, “Proprietary Information” means any and all
      information and material disclosed by the Purchaser to the Obligor, or obtained
      by Obligor through inspection or observation of Purchaser’s property or
      facilities, including but not limited to intellectual property rights obtained
      by Purchaser under the Asset Purchase Agreement (whether any of the foregoing
      is
      in writing, or in oral, graphic, electronic or any other form). Proprietary
      Information, includes, without limitation, any (a) trade secret, know-how,
      idea,
      invention, process, protocol, procedure, technique, algorithm, program,
      hardware, device, design, schematic, drawing, formula, data, plan, strategy
      and
      forecast of, and (b) technical, engineering, manufacturing, product, marketing,
      servicing, financial, personnel and other information and materials of,
      Purchaser and its employees, consultants (other than Obligor), investors,
      affiliates, licensors, suppliers, vendors, customers, clients and other persons
      and entities.

    2. Covenant
      Not to Solicit.
      For so
      long as Obligor is employed by Purchaser or its assigns and for one year
      thereafter, Obligor shall not request or advise, solicit or attempt to solicit
      for the benefit of Obligor or any other person or entity any present or future
      employee of the Purchaser, the New PA, or the New Clinics, to terminate
      employment with such parties or to become an employee of Obligor or any other
      person or entity. 

     

    3.
       Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)  Governing
      Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction.
      

    

    (i)  This
      Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without reference
      to rules of conflicts of law. Obligor and Purchaser each hereby consent to
      the
      personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Texas for
      any
      action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement or relating
      to
      any arbitration in which the parties are participants. 

     

    (ii)
       Any
      claim, dispute or other controversy having a monetary amount of $100,000 or
      less
      (a “Controversy”)
      relating to this Agreement shall be settled and resolved by binding arbitration
      in Dallas, Texas before a single arbitrator under the rules of the American
      Arbitration Association (“AAA”)
      in
      effect at the time a demand for arbitration is made. If there is any conflict
      between the AAA rules and this arbitration clause, this arbitration clause
      will
      govern and determine the rights of the parties. The parties to this Agreement
      (the “Parties”)
      shall
      be entitled to full discovery regarding the Controversy as permitted by
      applicable codes of civil procedure. The arbitrator’s decision on the
      Controversy shall be a final and binding determination of the Controversy and
      shall be fully enforceable as an arbitration award in any court having
      jurisdiction and venue over the Parties. The arbitrator shall also award the
      prevailing Party any reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses the
      prevailing Party incurs in connection with the arbitration, and the
      non-prevailing Party shall pay the arbitrator’s fees and expenses. The
      arbitrator shall determine who is the prevailing Party. Each Party also agrees
      to accept service of process for all arbitration proceedings in accordance
      with
      AAA’s rules. 

     

    (iii)  The
      obligation to arbitrate shall not be binding upon either party with respect
      to a
      controversy exceeding a monetary amount of $100,000, requests for temporary
      restraining orders, preliminary injunctions or other procedures in a court
      of
      competent jurisdiction to obtain interim relief when deemed necessary by such
      court to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable injury pending
      resolution by arbitration of the actual dispute between the
      Parties.

     

    (iv)  The
      provisions of this Section shall be construed as independent of any other
      covenant or provision of this Agreement; provided that, if a court of competent
      jurisdiction determines that any such provisions are unlawful in any way, such
      court shall modify or interpret such provisions to the minimum extent necessary
      to have them comply with the law.

     

    (v)  This
      arbitration provision shall be deemed to be self-executing and shall remain
      in
      full force and effect after expiration or termination of this Agreement. In
      the
      event either party fails to appear at any properly noticed arbitration
      proceeding, an award may be entered against such party by default or otherwise
      notwithstanding said failure to appear.

    (b)  Severability.
      If any
      portion of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
      conflict with any federal, state or local law, or to be otherwise invalid or
      unenforceable, such portion of this Agreement shall be of no force or effect
      and
      this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and be construed
      as if such portion had not been included in this Agreement.

     

    (c)  No
      Assignment.
      Because
      the nature of the Agreement is specific to the actions of Obligor, Obligor
      may
      not assign this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
      Purchaser and its successors and assigns.

     

    (d)  Notices. 
      All notices, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing
      and
      shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally, on the next
      business day when sent overnight by Federal Express or other nationally

      and
      Purchase, as seller (the “Basic Health Acquisition”).

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    G.
      Basic
      Health intends to develop, establish, operate and manage additional work
      hardening and other clinics (the “New
      Clinics”)
      at one
      or more locations to be determined by Basic
      Health.

     

    H. As
      a
      condition and mutual inducement to the Acquisition, the Transaction Documents
      contemplate, among other things, that the Obligor shall enter into this
      Non-Competition Agreement effective on the Effective Date.

     

    AGREEMENT

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, Purchaser and
      the Obligor hereby agree as follows:

     

    1. Covenant
      Not to Compete or Solicit.
      Obligor
      recognizes that entering into a competitive practice with the Purchaser would
      deprive the Purchaser of some or all of its practice sources to the substantial
      detriment of the Purchaser’s ongoing practice and Obligor acknowledges that the
      Purchaser has a substantial interest in protecting itself from unfair
      competition, including the improper use of Proprietary Information. In
      consideration of the substantial compensation paid to Obligor by the Purchaser,
      and the other benefits received by Obligor hereunder, Obligor agrees with the
      Purchaser that the following restrictive covenants are reasonably designed
      to
      protect the legitimate interests of the Purchaser:

     

    1.1 Covenant
      Not to Compete.
      Obligor
      agrees that for so long as Obligor is employed by Purchaser or its assigns
      and
      for one year thereafter (“Restricted
      Period”),
      Obligor shall not, directly or indirectly, as an employee, employer, contractor,
      consultant, agent, principal, shareholder, corporate officer, director, or
      in
      any other individual or representative capacity, engage or participate in any
      business or practice within the Practice Territory (as defined herein) that
      is
      in competition in any manner whatsoever with the practice of the Purchaser,
      the
      New PA, and the New Clinics. The parties mutually acknowledge and agree as
      follows:

     

    (a) If
      Obligor should set up an office and practice medicine within the Practice
      Territory in competition with the practice of the Purchaser, it would cause
      economic harm and loss of goodwill to the Purchaser resulting in immediate
      and
      irreparable loss, injuries, and damage to the Purchaser.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (b) Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary in this Section 1.1, physician is not prohibited from
      owning less than five percent (5%) of the equity of any publicly-traded
      entity.

     

    (c) Neither
      the public in general nor any patients will be adversely affected by the
      enforcement of the non-competition covenant, in that other similar providers
      of
      professional medical services are readily available within the restricted
      area.

     

    1.2 Practice
      Territory.
      The
      Purchaser is actively engaged in the practice of general
      family and urgent care and ancillary medical services such as rehabilitation
      and
      physical medicine
      in
      various locations within the Dallas and Fort Worth metropolitan areas, and
      it is
      therefore agreed that the term of “Practice
      Territory”
shall
      mean: a ten (10) mile radius of either Clinic. In the event that the provisions
      of this Section 1.2 are deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed
      the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then
      such
      provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope
      limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws.

     

    1.3 Remedies.
      Without
      limiting other possible remedies to Purchaser for breach of this covenant,
      Obligor agrees that injunctive or other equitable relief will be available
      to
      enforce the covenants of this provision, such relief to be without the necessity
      of posting a bond, cash or otherwise. In any action to enforce any provision
      of
      this Section, the court may award reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and
      expenses to the prevailing party. 

     

    1.4 Limitations
      On Covenants.
      Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 1 or anywhere else in this
      Agreement: 

     

    (a) Under
      no
      circumstance shall any provision of this Agreement be deemed to deny Obligor
      access to a list of patients whom Obligor had seen or treated prior to or within
      two (2) years after the closing of the Acquisition. 

     

    (b) After
      closing of the Acquisition, the Purchaser (at its expense) shall provide Obligor
      reasonably convenient and ready access to medical records of any or all of
      the
      Obligor’s patients upon authorization of such patient or patients and shall
      provide copies of any such medical records for a reasonable fee as established
      by the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners under Section 165.5 of Title
      22,
      Part 9, Chapter 165, of the Texas Administrative Code and Section 5.08(o) of
      the
      Texas Medical Practice Act.

     

    (c) Any
      access by Obligor to a list of patients or to patients’ medical records after
      closing of the Acquisition shall not require that such list or records be
      provided in a format different from that by which such records are maintained,
      except by mutual consent of the Purchaser and Obligor.

     

    (d) In
      no
      event shall Obligor be prohibited by this Agreement from providing continuing
      care and treatment to a specific patient or patients (whom the Obligor treated
      prior to the closing of the Acquisition) during the course of an acute illness
      even after Obligor’s consulting relationship with the Purchaser has
      terminated.

     

    (e) The
      covenants contained in this Agreement shall not apply to Obligor’s ownership,
      management or other interest in (either directly or indirectly) those entities
      listed on Exhibit
      “A”
      attached
      hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    1.6 Proprietary
      Information.
      For
      purposes of this Agreement, “Proprietary Information” means any and all
      information and material disclosed by the Purchaser to the Obligor, or obtained
      by Obligor through inspection or observation of Purchaser’s property or
      facilities, including but not limited to intellectual property rights obtained
      by Purchaser under the Asset Purchase Agreement (whether any of the foregoing
      is
      in writing, or in oral, graphic, electronic or any other form). Proprietary
      Information, includes, without limitation, any (a) trade secret, know-how,
      idea,
      invention, process, protocol, procedure, technique, algorithm, program,
      hardware, device, design, schematic, drawing, formula, data, plan, strategy
      and
      forecast of, and (b) technical, engineering, manufacturing, product, marketing,
      servicing, financial, personnel and other information and materials of,
      Purchaser and its employees, consultants (other than Obligor), investors,
      affiliates, licensors, suppliers, vendors, customers, clients and other persons
      and entities. 

     

    2. Covenant
      Not to Solicit.
      For so
      long as Obligor is employed by Purchaser or its assigns and for one year
      thereafter, Obligor shall not request or advise, solicit or attempt to solicit
      for the benefit of Obligor or any other person or entity any present or future
      employee of the Purchaser, the New PA, or the New Clinics, to terminate
      employment with such parties or to become an employee of Obligor or any other
      person or entity. 

     

    3.
       Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)  Governing
      Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction.
      

     

    (i)  This
      Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without reference
      to rules of conflicts of law. Obligor and Purchaser each hereby consent to
      the
      personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Texas for
      any
      action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement or relating
      to
      any arbitration in which the parties are participants. 

     

    (ii)
       Any
      claim, dispute or other controversy having a monetary amount of $100,000 or
      less
      (a “Controversy”)
      relating to this Agreement shall be settled and resolved by binding arbitration
      in Dallas, Texas before a single arbitrator under the rules of the American
      Arbitration Association (“AAA”)
      in
      effect at the time a demand for arbitration is made. If there is any conflict
      between the AAA rules and this arbitration clause, this arbitration clause
      will
      govern and determine the rights of the parties. The parties to this Agreement
      (the “Parties”)
      shall
      be entitled to full discovery regarding the Controversy as permitted by
      applicable codes of civil procedure. The arbitrator’s decision on the
      Controversy shall be a final and binding determination of the Controversy and
      shall be fully enforceable as an arbitration award in any court having
      jurisdiction and venue over the Parties. The arbitrator shall also award the
      prevailing Party any reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses the
      prevailing Party incurs in connection with the arbitration, and the
      non-prevailing Party shall pay the arbitrator’s fees and expenses. The
      arbitrator shall determine who is the prevailing Party. Each Party also agrees
      to accept service of process for all arbitration proceedings in accordance
      with
      AAA’s rules. 

     

    (iii)  The
      obligation to arbitrate shall not be binding upon either party with respect
      to a
      controversy exceeding a monetary amount of $100,000, requests for temporary
      restraining orders, preliminary injunctions or other procedures in a court
      of
      competent jurisdiction to obtain interim relief when deemed necessary by such
      court to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable injury pending
      resolution by arbitration of the actual dispute between the
      Parties.

     

    (iv)  The
      provisions of this Section shall be construed as independent of any other
      covenant or provision of this Agreement; provided that, if a court of competent
      jurisdiction determines that any such provisions are unlawful in any way, such
      court shall modify or interpret such provisions to the minimum extent necessary
      to have them comply with the law.

     

    (v)  This
      arbitration provision shall be deemed to be self-executing and shall remain
      in
      full force and effect after expiration or termination of this Agreement. In
      the
      event either party fails to appear at any properly noticed arbitration
      proceeding, an award may be entered against such party by default or otherwise
      notwithstanding said failure to appear.

    (b)  Severability.
      If any
      portion of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
      conflict with any federal, state or local law, or to be otherwise invalid or
      unenforceable, such portion of this Agreement shall be of no force or effect
      and
      this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and be construed
      as if such portion had not been included in this Agreement.

     

    (c)  No
      Assignment.
      Because
      the nature of the Agreement is specific to the actions of Obligor, Obligor
      may
      not assign this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
      Purchaser and its successors and assigns.

     

    (d)  Notices. 
      All notices, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing
      and
      shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally, on the next
      business day when sent overnight by Federal Express or other nationally
