government or
legislative body or any private agencies, or (2) Medical Group or Genoptix shall receive notice of an actual or threatened decision, finding or action by any governmental or private agency,

        If

in accordance with Section 16 below. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that any act or omission by Physician that jeopardizes the quality of care provided by Physician shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement 

        6.3   Immediate Termination.

        Additionally,
this Agreement may be terminated immediately by Medical Group upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 

	(a)
	Upon Physician ceasing to be duly licensed to practice medicine under the laws of the State of California or ceasing to be in good

	Upon the dissolution of Medical Group;

	(d)

this Agreement;

	(e)

immediately terminate this Agreement, unless Physician pays the excess premium;

	(g)
	Upon Physician's election to work less than the required work schedule, as determined in the reasonable discretion of Medical Group; or 

16

 

	(h)
	Upon Physician soliciting or providing professional medical services to any third-party payor or patient of Medical Group for his or
her own benefit or for the benefit of any person or entity other than Medical Group. 

        6.4   Payment on Termination.

        In
the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 or Section 6.3, the Physician shall not be entitled to any compensation or
benefits from the Medical Group, under this Agreement or otherwise, except for the following: (i) the base salary earned but not yet paid under Section 4.1 of this Agreement through the
date of termination; (ii) the reasonable business expenses incurred but not yet reimbursed through the date of such termination; and (iii) such benefits, if any, as may be required to be

responsibility of Physician). The foregoing sentence does not limit any rights that the Physician may have to vested benefits under any plan governed by the Employment Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 ("ERISA") or with respect to any equity awards the Physician may have outstanding.

property of Genoptix, Inc.; provided, however, that Physician shall have the continuing right to inspect and copy all records pertaining to a particular patient in the event a malpractice claim
is asserted against Physician as a result of medical activities conducted at the Medical Group.

shall be solely liable for any damages for bodily injury, personal injury, or medical malpractice including death at any time resulting therefrom, sustained by a person or
persons, arising out of or in consequence of Physician's performance of services under this Agreement to the extent that such injuries or damages are due to the gross negligence or the intentional
misconduct of Physician. The Physician's obligation under this Section 8.1 shall be secondary to any professional liability insurance including tail coverage. Physician shall not be required to
pay any malpractice liabilities or defense costs representing the deductible paid by Medical Group, unless such liabilities or costs arose from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of
Physician. 

        8.2   Cooperation in Legal Proceedings.

        Upon
the request of Medical Group, Physician shall cooperate fully with Medical Group in the prosecution or defense of any threatened or initiated claims, investigations, hearings or
legal proceedings of any nature involving or potentially involving Medical Group. 

17

        During the term of this Agreement, Physician shall have access to and become acquainted with various trade secrets, consisting of business accounts, confidential
financial information and other records of Medical Group and Genoptix (some of which may be developed in part by Physician under this Agreement), which items are owned exclusively by Medical Group or
Genoptix and used in operation of their respective businesses (the "Trade Secrets"). Physician acknowledges that the Trade Secrets are secret, confidential and proprietary to Medical Group or Genoptix
and have been or will be disclosed to and/or obtained by Physician in confidence and trust, for the sole purpose of using the same for the sole benefit of Medical Group or Genoptix. During and after
the term of this Agreement (other than in the performance of this Agreement), without the prior written consent of Medical Group or, when applicable, Genoptix, Physician shall not divulge any of the
Trade Secrets to any other person or entity or use the Trade Secrets for his or her own benefit or for the benefit of any other person or entity. Failure to abide by the terms of this Section 9
shall subject Physician to immediate termination pursuant to Section 6.3 of this Agreement. 

10.   SOLICITING PERSONS AFTER TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT  

        Physician shall not, for a period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following the termination of this Agreement, directly or indirectly,
call on, solicit, employ, contract with or take away, or attempt to call on, solicit, employ, contract with or take away any "Prohibited Employee" with whom Physician becomes acquainted or of whom
Physician becomes aware because of his or her employment under the terms of this Agreement, either for himself or herself or for any other person or entity. A "Prohibited Employee" is a person who
was, at the time of the termination of this Agreement, or during the six (6) months immediately prior to the termination of this Agreement, an employee of, or under contract with, Medical
Group. It is hereby agreed by both parties that in the event Physician employs or retains a Prohibited Employee, Physician shall pay Medical Group as liquidated damages and not as a penalty a sum
equal to one (1) year's salary of the Prohibited Employee so employed or retained by Physician. This sum represents the reasonable endeavor by the parties hereto to estimate a fair compensation
for the foreseeable losses that might result from any such violation of this Section 10 by Physician. 

11.   NONCOMPETITION.  

        Physician agrees and acknowledges that during the term of this Agreement, Physician shall devote his or her full time, attention, and energies to the performance
of his or her duties pursuant to this Agreement, as may be required to properly discharge the medical duties and the administrative supervisory duties assigned by Medical Group. Pursuant to this
Agreement, Physician shall render professional services exclusively for and on behalf of Medical Group. Further, during the term of Physician's employment with Medical Group, Physician shall not
directly or indirectly own, manage, join, control, consult with, engage with, be employed by, act in the capacity as officer, director, trustee, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, member, employee
or participate in any manner in the ownership, management, operation or control of any medical practice of healthcare service within San Diego or Orange Counties, in California, similar to that
conducted by Medical Group. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11 to the contrary, Physician shall be permitted to invest in any securities which are listed on a national stock
exchange or publicly traded in a recognized over-the-counter market. 

12.   COMPLIANCE WITH PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT  

        Medical Group and Genoptix, Inc. have entered into that certain Professional Services Agreement dated December 31, 2005 ("PSA"). Pursuant to the
terms of the PSA, Medical Group is obligated to provide certain professional services as required by Genoptix, Inc.. Physician acknowledges that the PSA creates obligations for Physician in the
fulfillment of Medical Group's PSA obligations. Physician 

18

 

hereby
agrees to comply with all PSA obligations that apply to Physician and the provision of services under this Agreement and, in turn, the PSA. Failure to abide by the terms of this
Section 12 shall subject Physician to immediate termination pursuant to Section 6.3 of this Agreement. 

13.   INDEMNIFICATION  

        In addition to the Physician's obligations under Section 8 of this Agreement, the Physician hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Medical Group
and Genoptix, Inc., their respective officers, directors and stockholders from and against any losses, liabilities, damages or costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of a
breach, or claimed breach, of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of Physician set forth in this Agreement. 

14.   ARBITRATION; ATTORNEY'S FEES.  

        All disputes, controversies or differences which may arise between the parties out of or in relation to the validity, construction or enforceability of this
Agreement, or the breach of termination thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules (the employment dispute resolution rules) of the American
Arbitration Association (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). The arbitration shall be held in the County of San Diego, California or such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by
the parties. The parties waive the right to institute a court action, except for requests of injunctive relief pending arbitration and understand that they are giving up their right to a jury trial.
The arbitrator's award and opinion shall be in writing and in the form typically rendered in labor and employment arbitrations. 

        The
Medical Group shall pay any filing fee and the fees and costs of the arbitrator, unless Physician initiates the claim, in which case Physician only will be required to contribute an
amount equal to the filing fee for a claim initiated in a court of general jurisdiction in California. Each party shall be responsible for his, her, or its own attorneys' fees and costs; however, the
arbitrator may award attorneys' fees to the prevailing party if permitted by applicable law. The arbitration agreement does not prohibit the parties from filing a claim with an administrative agency
(e.g., EEOC), nor does it apply to claims for workers' compensation or unemployment benefits, or claims for benefits under an employee welfare or pension plan that specifies a different dispute
resolution procedure.. 

15.   ASSIGNMENT.  

        Physician shall not assign any rights or delegate any duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Medical Group. 

16.   NOTICES.  

        Any and all notices, requests, payments, demands and other communications, required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the respective parties in writing,
