1.20 (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (k), and (l) shall be in the Budget or approved by the Practice Advisory Council, and where reasonably determinable, are intended to be reasonable and customary based upon similar relationships generally
existing between national practice management companies and practices they manage. The Practice’s pro-rata portion of expenses related to individuals who are consultants of or employed by Professional Business Manager and who provide services
benefiting more than one practice shall be based upon the actual time expended by the individuals in performing such services as compared to the time spent by such individuals with other practices managed by the Professional Business Manager, or, if

managed by the Professional Business Manager which are benefiting from such individual’s services. Likewise, other benefits provided by the Professional Business Manager to several Practices shall be split pro-rata based upon the use or benefit

 4.7 Non-Competition. The Practice hereby recognizes, acknowledges, and avers that Professional Business Manager will incur substantial costs in
providing the equipment, support services, personnel, management, administration, and other items and services that are the subject matter of this Professional Business Management Agreement and that in the process of providing services under this
Professional Business Management Agreement, the Practice will be privy to financial and Confidential Information, to which the Practice would not otherwise be exposed. The Parties also recognize that the services to be provided by Professional
Business Manager will be feasible only if the Practice operates an active practice to which the Professionals associated with the Practice devote their full time and attention. The Practice agrees, acknowledges, and avers that the non-competition
covenants described hereunder are necessary for the protection of Professional Business Manager, and that Professional Business Manager would not have entered into this Professional Business Management Agreement without the following covenants.

  
 (a) Except as specifically agreed to by Professional Business
Manager in writing, the Practice covenants and agrees that during the Term of this Professional Business Management Agreement and for a period of one (1) year from the date this Professional Business Management Agreement is terminated other than if
terminated by the Practice for cause, or expires, the Practice shall not directly or indirectly own (excluding ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the equity of any publicly traded entity and excluding ownership of the common stock of
Professional Business Manager), manage, operate, control, contract with, lend funds to, lend its name to, maintain any interest whatsoever in, or be employed by, any enterprise (i) having to do with the provision, distribution, promotion, or
advertising of any type of management or administrative services or products to third parties in competition with Professional Business Manager, within a 10 mile radius of any Office; and/or (ii) offering any type of service(s) or product(s) to
third parties substantially similar to those offered by Professional Business Manager to the Practice in Competition with Professional Business Manager within a 10 mile radius of any Office. Notwithstanding the above restriction, nothing herein
shall prohibit (i) the Practice or any of its Shareholders from providing management and administrative services to this or their own optometry practice after the termination of this Professional Business Management Agreement; (ii) the Practice or
its Shareholders from contracting with a third-party manager to provide administrative or management services for its or their professional eye care practices after termination of this Professional Business Management Agreement; (iii) any of the
Practice’s Shareholders from providing management and administrative services to their own optometry practices after the termination of their employment relationship with the Practice, and (iv) such Shareholders from contracting with a
third-party manager to provide administrative or management services for their professional eye care practices after the termination of their employment relationship with the Practice. 

 (b) Restrictive Covenants by Optometrists. Under the Restrictive Covenant, the non-Shareholder
Professionals shall agree not to practice optometry and/or therapeutic optometry or provide Optical Services within a certain radius, as set forth in Exhibit 4.7A, of the Office location at which such non-Shareholder Professionals performed services
on a regular basis for sixteen (16) or more hours per week or one thousand (1,000) hours during the last twelve (12) months of such Professionals’ employment with the Practice. The Restrictive Covenant shall be effective for a period of one (1)
year following termination of employment with the Practice and may be subject to a liquidated damages provision as authorized hereafter. A list of non-Shareholder Professionals the Practice has required to execute Employment Agreements as of the
effective date of this Professional Business Management Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.7B. 
  
 (c) Liquidated Damages. The Practice represents, warrants, and covenants that the Restrictive Covenant described above contains a liquidated
damages provision, consistent with the laws of the Commonwealth, mandating the payment of $25,000.00 in liquidated damages. Any liquidated damage amount collected by the Practice through enforcement of the Restrictive Covenant shall be delivered
immediately to Professional Business Manager for deposit in the Account and included in the Adjusted Gross Revenue. The Practice hereby stipulates and agrees that Professional Business Manager will suffer severe harm if the Practice fails or refuses
to obtain and enforce the Restrictive Covenant, including the aforesaid liquidated damages provision. The Practice further stipulate and agree that the parties may be unable to quantify such severe harm, and, accordingly, the Practice shall pay to
Professional Business Manager the amount of $25,000.00, as agreed upon stipulated damages in the event of such failure or refusal to obtain and enforce the Restrictive Covenant. Any liquidated damage amount collected from the Practice as a result of
its failure or refusal to enforce the Restrictive Covenant, shall be immediately paid to Professional Business Manager, and shall not be included in the Adjusted Gross Revenue for the Practice. 
  
 (d) The Practice understands and acknowledges that Professional Business
Manager shall suffer severe harm in the event that the foregoing non-competition covenants in Section 4.7 are violated, and accordingly, if the Practice breaches any obligation of Section 4.7, in addition to any other remedies available under this
Professional Business Management Agreement, at law or in equity, Professional Business Manager shall be entitled to enforce this Professional Business Management Agreement by injunctive relief and by specific performance of the Professional Business
Management Agreement, such relief to be without the necessity of posting a bond, cash or otherwise. Additionally, nothing in this Section 4.7(d) shall limit Professional Business Manager’s right to recover any other damages to which it is
entitled as a result of the Practice’s breach. The time period for which the non-competition covenant is effective shall be extended day for day for the time period the Practice is in violation of the non-competition covenant. If any provision
of the covenants is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable due to an excessive time period, geographic area, or restricted activity, the covenant shall be reformed to comply with such time period, geographic area, or
restricted activity that would be held enforceable. Following termination of this Professional Business Management Agreement 

 
pursuant to Section 6.2(b) hereof, the Practice shall not amend, alter or otherwise change any term or provision of the Restrictive Covenants or liquidated
damages provisions of the Employment Agreements or the President’s Employment Agreement with the Professionals. Following termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(a) hereof, the Practice and the Professionals shall be relieved of
the restrictions imposed by this Section 4.7.

Trademark. The Practice represents and warrants that on and after sixty (60) days from the effective day of this Professional Business Management Agreement, the Practice shall conduct its professional practice under the name of, and only under
the name of “Hour Eyes Optometrists, P. C.” and that such name is duly registered, qualified, or licensed under the laws of the Commonwealth, and that, to the Practice’s knowledge, the Practice is the sole and absolute owner of the

and other charges and reimbursement claims pursuant to Section 3.9, and the Practice shall use its best efforts to procure consents to assignments and other approvals and documents necessary to enable the Professional Business Manager to obtain
payment or reimbursement from third parties for such fees, other charges and claims.

 ARTICLE V 
  
 BUSINESS MANAGER’S COMPENSATION. 
  
 5.1 Base Management Fee. The Practice and Professional Business Manager agree to the compensation set forth herein as
being paid to Professional Business Manager in consideration of a substantial commitment made by Professional Business Manager hereunder and that such fees are fair and reasonable. Each month Professional Business Manager shall be paid that
percentage set forth in Exhibit 5.1 of Adjusted Gross Revenue. 

 5.2 Adjustments to Management Fees for New Offices. Notwithstanding anything in this Professional
Business Management Agreement to the contrary, in calculating the Base Management Fee pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, the following provisions shall govern: 
  
 (i) The calculation of the Base Management Fee shall not include the revenues and expenses associated with any New Office during its first twelve (12)
months of operation (the “Initial Period”) if the Net Earnings associated with such New Office during such Initial Period is less than or equal to zero. 
  
 (ii) In the event that Net Earnings for such New Office exceeds zero, the Base Management Fee to be paid to Professional
Business Manager with respect to such New Office shall be equal to such Net Earnings but shall not exceed the Base Management Fee as applied to the New Office and as calculated pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Agreement. 
  
 5.3 Reasonable Value. Payment of the Management Fee is not intended to
be and shall not be interpreted or applied as permitting Professional Business Manager to share in the Practice’s fees for Professional Eye Care Services or any other services, but is acknowledged as the Parties’ negotiated agreement as to
the reasonable fair market value of Professional Business Manager’s commitment to pay all Office Expenses and the fair market value of the equipment, contract analysis and support, other support services, purchasing, personnel, management,
administration, strategic management and other items and services furnished by Professional Business Manager pursuant to the Professional Business Management Agreement, considering the nature and volume of the services required and the risks assumed
by Professional Business Manager. The Practice and Professional Business Manager recognize and acknowledge that Professional Business Manager will incur substantial costs and business risks in undertaking to pay all Office Expenses and in providing
the support services, personnel, marketing, management, administration, and other items and services that are the subject matter of this Professional Business Management Agreement. It is the intent of the Parties that the Management Fee reasonably
compensate Professional Business Manager for the value to the Practice of Professional Business Manager’s administrative expertise, given the considerable business risk to Professional Business Manager in providing the Management Services that
are the subject of this Professional Business Management Agreement. 
  
 5.4 Payment of Management Fee. To facilitate the payment of the Management Fee as provided in Section 5.1 hereof, the Practice hereby expressly authorizes Professional Business Manager to make withdrawals of the Management Fee from
the Professional Practice Account as such fee becomes due and payable during the Term in accordance with Section 3.10(a) and after termination as provided in Section 6.3. Professional Business Manager shall deliver to the Practice an invoice for the
Management Fee accompanied by a reasonably detailed statement of the information upon which the Management Fee calculation is based. 

 5.5 Disputes Regarding Fees. 
  
 (a) It is the Parties’ intent that any disputes regarding performance standards of the Professional Business Manager be
resolved to the extent possible by good faith negotiation. To that end, the Parties agree that if the Practice in good faith believes that Professional Business Manager has failed to perform its obligations, and that as a result of such failure, the
Practice is entitled to a set-off or reduction in its Management Fees, the Practice shall give Professional Business Manager notice of the perceived failure and request in the notice a set-off or reduction in Management Fees. Professional Business
Manager and the Practice shall then negotiate the dispute in good faith, and if an agreement is reached, the Parties shall implement the resolution without further action. At the request of Professional Business Manager or the Practice, the Practice
Advisory Council shall make recommendations to Professional Business Manager with respect to any dispute concerning a set off or reduction in Management Fees. 
  

(b) If the Parties cannot reach a resolution within a reasonable time, the Parties shall submit the dispute to mediation to be conducted in accordance
with the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Mediation Rules. 
  
 (c) If the mediation process fails to resolve the dispute, the dispute shall be submitted by either Party to binding arbitration under Section 8.7.

unenforceable, or which would be reasonably likely to subject either Party to this Professional Business Management Agreement, or any member, shareholder, officer, director, employee, agent or affiliated organization to any civil or criminal

 (a) If the Practice or Professional Business Manager receives notice or
acquires knowledge of any matter which may give rise to a claim by another person and which may then result in a claim for indemnification under this Professional Business Management Agreement, then: (i) if such notice or knowledge is received or
acquired by the Practice, the Practice shall promptly notify Professional Business Manager; and (ii) if such notice or knowledge is received or acquired by Professional Business Manager, the Professional Business Manager shall promptly notify the
Practice; except that no delay in giving such notice shall diminish any obligation under this Professional Business Management Agreement to provide indemnification unless (and then solely to the extent) the Party from whom such indemnification is
sought is prejudiced. 
  
 (b) Any Party from whom such
indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) is sought shall have the right to defend the Party seeking such indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) against such claim by another person (the “Third Party Claim”) with
counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as: (i) within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party, the
Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against all adverse consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer caused by, resulting from, arising out of or relating to
such Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources necessary to defend against the Third Party
Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations; (iii) the Third Party Claim seeks money damages; (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim (other than an optometric malpractice claim) is not, in the good
faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party; and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim
actively and diligently. 
  
 (c) So long as the Indemnifying Party
is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.4(b): (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnified
Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party. 
  
 (d) If any of the conditions specified in Section 7.4(b) is not satisfied, however; (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it may deem advisable (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith);
(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses); and (iii) the

 
Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible for any adverse consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer caused by, resulting from, arising out of or
relating to such Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Professional Business Management Agreement. 
  
 7.5 Settlement. Except as permitted by Section 7.4, a Party shall not compromise or settle any claim for which the other Party is obligated to
indemnify it without the written consent of such Party. 
  
 7.6
Cooperation. The Indemnified Party shall make available all information and assistance that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in conjunction with assessing, defending and settling said claim. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 8.1 Administrative Services Only. Nothing in this Professional Business Management Agreement is intended or shall be construed to allow
Professional Business Manager to exercise control, authority or direction over the manner or method by which the Practice and its Professionals perform Professional Eye Care Services or other professional health care services. The rendition of all
Professional Eye Care Services, including, but not limited to, the prescription or administration of medicine and drugs, shall be the sole responsibility of the Practice and its Professionals, and Professional Business Manager shall not interfere in
any manner or to any extent therewith. Nothing contained in this Professional Business Management Agreement shall be construed to permit Professional Business Manager to engage in the practice of optometry, it being the sole intention of the Parties
hereto that the services to be rendered to the Practice by Professional Business Manager are solely for the purpose of providing non-optometric management and administrative services to the Practice so as to enable the Practice to devote its full
time and energies to the professional conduct of its professional eye care practice and provision of Professional Eye Care Services to its patients. 
  
 8.2 Status of Independent Contractor. The Practice and Professional Business Manager and their shareholders are not, and shall not be deemed to be
by virtue of this Professional Business Management Agreement, joint venturers, partners, employees or agents of each other (except as expressly provided in this Professional Business Management Agreement). Except as may be expressly provided herein,
neither Party shall have any authority to bind the other without the other’s express written consent; and then only to the extent of the authority conferred by such express written consent. Each Party is an independent contractor, and each
Party shall remain professionally and economically independent of the other. In the course of the business relationship contemplated in this Professional Business Management Agreement only the Practice and its Professionals shall practice optometry
and/or therapeutic optometry, and they shall do so as independent professionals with no employment relationship to Professional Business Manager. Professional Business Manager and the Practice agree that the Practice shall 

 
retain absolute authority to direct the optometric, professional, and ethical aspects of its optometric and/or therapeutic optometric practice, any authority
granted herein to Professional Business Manager concerning the business and administrative aspects of such practice notwithstanding. Each party shall be solely responsible for and shall comply with all state and federal laws applicable to that party
pertaining to employment taxes, income tax withholding, unemployment compensation contributions, and other employment related matters.

 8.4 Governing Law. This Professional Business Management Agreement shall in all respects be governed, interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth without giving effect to
principles of comity or conflicts of laws thereof. 
  
 8.5
Jurisdiction and Venue. Professional Business Manager and the Practice hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in the judicial circuit where the Practice has its principal corporate office, and do
hereby waive all questions of personal jurisdiction and venue, including, without limitation, the claim or defense that such courts constitute an inconvenient forum. 

 8.6 Assignment. Except as may be herein specifically provided to the contrary, this Professional
Business Management Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns; provided, however, that the Practice may not assign this Professional Business
Management Agreement without the prior written consent of Professional Business Manager, which consent may be withheld. Professional Business Manager may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this Professional Business Management
Agreement only in the following situations: (a) pursuant to a merger of Professional Business Manager into another entity or the sale of substantially all of the assets of Professional Business Manager; (b) pursuant to the sale and/or assignment of
all of this Professional Business Management Agreement with the Practice’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; (c) pursuant to a transfer or assignment of this Professional Business Management Agreement to one of Professional
Business Manager’s subsidiaries; or (d) pursuant to any transfer or assignment to or by any financial lender of the Professional Business Manager, and this Professional Business Management Agreement is subordinate to the rights of such lender.
After such assignment and transfer, the Practice agrees to look solely to such assignee or transferee for performance of this Professional Business Management Agreement. 
  
 8.7 Arbitration. Any and every dispute of any nature whatsoever that may arise between the Parties, whether sounding
in contract, statute, tort, fraud, misrepresentation, discrimination or any other legal theory, including, but not limited to, disputes relating to or involving the construction, performance or breach of this Agreement or any other agreement between
the Parties, whether entered into prior to, on, or subsequent to the date of this Agreement, or those arising under any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance, shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the
then—current commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the provisions of this paragraph. If the amount in controversy in the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000), exclusive of interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators. Otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The
Parties shall endeavor to select neutral arbitrators by mutual agreement. If such agreement cannot be reached within thirty (30) calendar days after a dispute has arisen which is to be decided by arbitration, any Party or the Parties jointly shall
request the American Arbitration Association to submit to each Party an identical panel of fifteen (15) persons. Alternate strikes shall be made to the panel, commencing with the Party bringing the claim, until the names of three (3) persons remain,
or one (1) person if the case is to be heard by a single arbitrator. The Parties may, however, by mutual agreement, request the American Arbitration Association to submit additional panels of possible arbitrators. The person(s) thus remaining shall
be the arbitrator(s) for such arbitration. If three (3) arbitrators are selected, the arbitrators shall elect a chairperson to preside at all meetings and hearings. The arbitrator(s), or a majority of them, shall have the power to determine all
matters incident to the conduct of the arbitration, including without limitation all procedural and evidentiary matters and the scheduling of any hearing. The award made by a majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties
thereto and the subject matter. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The arbitrators shall have 

 
no authority to award punitive or exemplary damages or any statutory multiple damages, and shall only have the authority to award compensatory damages,
arbitration costs, attorney’s fees declaratory relief, and permanent injunctive relief, if applicable. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitration shall be held in Atlanta, Georgia. This Section 8.7 shall not prevent either Party
from seeking a temporary restraining order or temporary or preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to protect its rights under this Agreement. In the event a Party seeks such injunctive relief pursuant to this
Agreement, such action shall not constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section 8.7, which shall continue to govern any and every dispute between the Parties, including without limitation the right to damages, permanent injunctive relief and
any other remedy, at law or in equity. 
  
 8.8 Waiver of Jury
Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN THEM, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE DISPUTES RELATING TO, OR INVOLVING IN ANY WAY, THE
CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, THE PROVISIONS OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAW, REGULATION OR ORDINANCE NOTWITHSTANDING. By execution of this Agreement, each of the parties
hereto acknowledges and agrees that it has had an opportunity to consult with legal counsel and that he/she it knowingly and voluntarily waives any right to a trial by jury of any dispute pertaining to or relating in any way to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the provisions of any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance notwithstanding. 
  
 8.9 Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either Party of a breach or violation of any provision of this Professional Business Management Agreement shall
not operate as, or be construed to constitute, a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or another provision hereof. 
  
 8.10 Enforcement. In the event either Party resorts to legal action to enforce or interpret any provision of this Professional Business Management
Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover the costs and expenses of such action so incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. 
  
 8.11 Gender and Number. Whenever the context of this Professional Business Management Agreement requires, the gender
of all words herein shall include the masculine, feminine, and neuter, and the number of all words herein shall include the singular and plural. 
  
 8.12 Additional Assurances. Except as may be herein specifically provided to the contrary, the provisions of this Professional Business Management
Agreement shall be self-operative and shall not require further agreement by the Parties; provided, however, at the request of either Party, the other Party shall execute such additional instruments and take such additional acts as are reasonable
and as the requesting Party may deem necessary to effectuate this Professional Business Management Agreement. 

 8.13 Consents, Approvals, and Exercise of Discretion. Whenever this Professional Business
Management Agreement requires any consent or approval to be given by either Party, or either Party must or may exercise discretion, and except where specifically set forth to the contrary, the Parties agree that such consent or approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, and that such discretion shall be reasonably exercised. 
  
 8.14 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable or deemed to be in default for any delay or failure in performance under this Professional Business Management Agreement or other interruption of service deemed
to result, directly or indirectly, from acts of God, civil or military authority, acts of public enemy, war accidents, fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, failure of transportation, strikes or other work interruptions by either Party’s
employees, or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of either Party unless such delay or failure in performance is expressly addressed elsewhere in this Professional Business Management Agreement. Notwithstanding the same, the
Parties hereto agree to continue this Professional Business Management Agreement to the best degree they can so long as reasonably possible and the Practice shall not be excused from its obligations under Sections 4.1, 6.4 and 6.5 pursuant to this
Section 8.14. 
  
 8.15 Severability. The Parties hereto
have negotiated and prepared the terms of this Professional Business Management Agreement in good faith with the intent that each and every one of the terms, covenants and conditions herein be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective
Parties. Accordingly, if any one or more of the terms, provisions, promises, covenants or conditions of this Professional Business Management Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be adjudged or rendered to any
extent invalid, unenforceable, void or voidable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction, an arbitration tribunal, a regulatory agency, or statute such provision shall be reformed, construed and enforced as if such
unenforceable provision had not been contained herein, and each and all of the remaining terms, provisions, promises, covenants and conditions of this Professional Business Management Agreement or their application to other persons or circumstances
shall not be affected thereby and shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent this Professional Business Management Agreement is in violation of applicable law, then the Parties agree to negotiate in good
faith to amend the Professional Business Management Agreement, to the extent possible consistent with its purposes, to conform to law. 
  
 8.16 Press Releases and Public Announcements. Except as otherwise required by law or by applicable rules of any securities exchange or association
of securities dealers, neither the Practice nor the Professional Business Manager shall issue any press release, make any public announcement or otherwise disclose any information for the purpose of publication by any print, broadcast or other
public media, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without the prior approval of the other Party. 
  
 8.17 Divisions and Headings. The division of this Professional Business Management Agreement into articles, sections, and subsections and the use

supervise the duties, the responsibilities and the means, manner and time of performing such duties shall be exercised by Employer, provided, however, that Employer shall not impose duties or constraints which would require Employee to infringe the
ethics of Employee’s profession, or violate any federal, state or municipal laws, regulations or ordinances. Employee agrees to follow and abide by the ethics of Employee’s profession, and all applicable federal, state and municipal laws,
regulations and ordinances. 
  
 6. OPTOMETRIC RECORDS. Employee
shall, in accordance with Employer’s policies, cause to be properly prepared and filed reports of all examinations, procedures and other professional services performed by Employee. It being understood and agreed that all reports, records and

so to do) to render a true accounting of all transactions relating to Employee’s practice during the course of Employee’s employment.

participate in those health, accident and other benefit plans or programs from time to time in effect for other similarly situated employees or classes of employees, and shall be entitled to the specific benefits and perquisites set forth in Exhibit
“B”. 
  
 12. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate
and the employment relationship between Employee and Employer automatically and immediately shall be severed upon the death of Employee, in which event Employer shall pay to the estate of Employee the compensation which otherwise would be payable to
Employee up to the end of the month in which Employee’s death occurs. Additionally, at any time during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated and the employment relationship between Employee and
Employer automatically and immediately severed upon written notice by Employer to Employee following the occurrence of any of the following: 
  
 (a) Upon the disability of Employee, such being Employee’s inability to perform one or more of the essential functions of Employee’s position as
required by this Agreement, due to an illness, injury or incapacity exceeding a period of ninety (90) days within a period of twelve consecutive months, provided such termination shall be in accordance with federal, state and local laws to the
extent applicable to the employment of Employee; 
  
 (b) The
suspension, revocation or cancellation of Employee’s right to practice optometry in any state, district or commonwealth; 
  
 (c) The imposition of any restrictions or limitations by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over Employee or Employer to such an extent that
Employee cannot engage in the professional practice for which he or she was employed; 
  
 (d) Upon a material breach by Employee of this Agreement, provided such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after the Employer provides written notice of the breach to the Employee and within three (3) days
after such notice if such breach has been the subject of a written notice within two (2) years prior to notice of breach hereunder. “Material breach” shall include, but be not limited to, the following: 
  

	 	(i)	Employee fails or refuses, in the determination of Employer, to faithfully and diligently perform the usual customary duties of Employee’s employment or adhere to the
provisions of this Agreement, including those duties, responsibilities and conditions of employment set forth in Exhibit “A”; or 

  

	 	(ii)	Employee fails or refuses, in the determination of Employer, to comply with such policies, standards and regulations of Employer which from time to time may be reasonably
established by Employer; 

  

 3 

 (e) Employee breaches any fiduciary duty owed to Employer, or engages in unprofessional, unethical,
immoral, illegal or fraudulent conduct, or is found guilty of unprofessional, illegal or unethical conduct by court, any board, institution, organization or professional society having any privilege or right to pass upon the conduct of Employee, or
Employee’s conduct discredits Employer or is detrimental to the reputation, character and standing of Employer; or 
  
 (f) Such other event as is specifically set forth in Exhibit “B” hereto. 
  
 13. EARLY TERMINATION. Employee recognizes that failure to complete the Initial Term or any Renewal Term and to provide
appropriate notice to Employer will cause substantial harm to Employer in terms of loss of business, damage to business reputation, ability to obtain licensed optometrists to replace Employee, inconvenience to other employees of Employer, and the
costs associated with finding a replacement. If Employee should terminate this Agreement and cease to perform hereunder (i) without providing to Employer the required non-renewal notice or (ii) prior to the end of the term of this Agreement,
Employee shall pay to Employer the sum of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000), as reimbursement to Employer of the costs to Employer associated with said early termination. Employee and Employer agree that it is impossible to determine with any
reasonable accuracy the amount of prospective damages to Employer upon breach by Employee of the provisions of this paragraph. Employee and Employer agree that the payment set forth above is reasonable, and not a penalty, based upon the facts and
circumstances of the parties at the time of entering this Agreement, and with due regard to future expectations. 
  
 14. CONFIDENTIALITY AND COMPETITIVE ACTIVITIES. Employee specifically agrees to the covenants and provisions governing Confidentiality and Competitive
Activities set forth in Exhibit “B”. 
  
 15. PATIENT
CARE UPON TERMINATION. Upon any termination of this employment relationship, Employer shall provide duly licensed optometrists to assume the care and treatment of all patients previously assigned to Employee. 
  
 16. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES. The parties recognize that the Board of
Directors shall manage the business affairs of Employer and that the relationship between the parties hereto shall be that of an employer and an employee. Employee shall be entitled to participate in any plans, arrangements or distribution of and by
Employer pertaining to or in connection with any pension, profit-sharing, or similar benefits and group life, health, accident and disability insurance or benefits, or similar fringe benefits for the employees of Employer, to the extent of and in
accordance with the terms and provisions of any plan, arrangement or distribution, which may be in effect from time to time during the term of this Agreement. Employee stipulates and agrees that any and all such fringe benefits may be changed,
altered, amended, discontinued, decreased or increased in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of Employer. 
  

 4 

 17. REMEDIES AND WAIVER OF BREACH. The waiver by any party hereto of any of the terms and conditions
hereof or any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a general waiver of any such terms and conditions or permit a subsequent breach by any party. Additionally, in the event of any violation of paragraph 14
hereof by Employee, the parties hereby recognize and acknowledge that a remedy at law will be inadequate and Employer may suffer irreparable injury. Accordingly, Employee consents to injunctive relief upon the institution of proceedings therefor by
Employer in order to protect Employer’s rights under such paragraph 14. If any covenant referred to in paragraph 14 or any portion thereof is hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the
covenant or covenants contained therein, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions, and any court having jurisdiction shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such covenant and, in its reduced form,
such covenant shall then be enforceable. No delay or omission by Employer in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or at law or in equity, and no payment to Employee of amounts owing him or her subsequent to the breach of any provision hereof or
after the termination hereof, shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies which Employer may have hereunder and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of the exercise of any other right
or remedy. Nothing in this paragraph 17 shall constitute a waiver of any of Employer’s rights under paragraph 24 of this Agreement. 
  
 18. ASSIGNMENT. Employee agrees that this Agreement and the rights, interests and benefits hereunder shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or
hypothecated in any way by Employee. This Agreement shall not be assignable by Employer except pursuant to a merger, to an affiliate of Employer or to a party which succeeds to the ownership of all or substantially all of the business and assets of
Employer. 
  
 19. NOTICES. Any notice given under this Agreement
shall be sufficient if in writing and mailed by either registered or certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to Employer at its permanent address and to Employee at Employee’s residence address last known to Employer.
Any such notice shall be effective upon the earlier of actual receipt or five (5) days after mailing in accordance with the preceding sentence. 
  
 20. INVALID PROVISION. The invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and
this Agreement shall be construed in all aspects as if such unenforceable or invalid provisions were omitted.

or past employees of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company unless such person shall have ceased to be employed by the Company (or its subsidiary or affiliate, as the case may be) and such cessation of employment shall have
occurred at least twelve (12) months prior thereto; provided this prohibition shall not apply to general advertisements in newspaper or other widely distributed publications, media, or mail, whether electronic or otherwise. 
  
 7. REMEDIES FOR BREACH. In addition to the rights and remedies provided in
Section 16, and without waiving the same if Executive breaches, or threatens to breach, any of the provisions of Section 6, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to any others, each of which shall be independent of
the other and severally enforceable: 
  
 (i) The
right and remedy to have such provisions specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction together with an accounting for any benefit or gain by Executive in connection with any such breach. Executive specifically acknowledges and

  

 5 

 
agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of Section 6 will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not
provide an adequate remedy to the Company. Such injunction shall be available without the posting of any bond or other security. 
  
 (ii) The right and remedy to require Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals,
increments or other benefits (hereinafter collectively the “Benefits”) derived or received, directly or indirectly, by Executive as a result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the provisions of Section 6, Executive hereby
agreeing to account for and pay over the Benefits to the Company. 
  
 (iii) The right to terminate Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 8(c). 
  
 (iv) Upon discovery by the Company of a breach or threatened breach of Section 6, the right to immediately suspend payments to Executive
under Section 8, pending a resolution of the dispute. 
  
 If any
covenant contained in Section 6 or any portion thereof is hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants contained therein, which shall be given full effect, without regard to
the invalid portions, and any court having jurisdiction shall reform the covenant to the extent necessary to cause the limitations contained therein as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained to be reasonable and to impose
a restraint that is not greater than necessary to protect the goodwill and other business interest of the Company and to enforce the covenant as reformed. The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained
in Section 6 upon the courts of any state or other jurisdiction in which any alleged breach of any such covenant occurs. If the courts of any of one or more of such states or other jurisdictions shall hold such covenants not wholly enforceable by
reason of the scope thereof or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect the Company’s right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other states or jurisdictions as to
breaches of such covenants in such other respective states or jurisdictions, and the above covenants as they relate to each state or jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants. If any court determines that
such covenants are unenforceable, the Company shall be relieved of all obligations under this Agreement and Executive shall not be entitled to any payments which are suspended pursuant to Section 7(iv). 
  
 8. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.

question as to the existence of the Disability of Executive as to which Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to Executive and the Company. If the Executive and

the Company, (vi) current alcohol or drug abuse by Executive, (vii) the suspension, revocation or cancellation of Employee’s right to practice optometry in any state or the District of Columbia; or (viii) Executive ceases to be a shareholder of
the Company. In the event of termination of Executive’s employment for Cause, Executive shall be entitled to receive only the Base Salary set forth in Section 4 accrued through the date of termination and he shall not be entitled to any bonus
payments or other benefits (except as provided by law).

the prior year; (ii) the increase or decrease from the prior year in the Consumer Price Index—Health/Medical Services for the relevant region; and (iii) the proportionate increase or decrease in mutually agreed upon personnel costs as measured
by the increase or decrease in full-time-equivalent personnel. The Practice Advisory Council may revise or modify the Budget from time to time during the applicable fiscal year to reflect changing circumstances affecting the Practice. Additionally,
notwithstanding the above, no change in an adopted Budget shall be contrary to the terms and spirit of this Agreement nor shall it have any effect on the Management Fee expressly agreed to herein, unless approved in advance in writing by the Parties
hereto.

and shall receive the proceeds. The Practice shall cause its Professionals to submit to a medical examination necessary to obtain such insurance.

Manager to other persons without Retail Business Manager’s express written authorization, such Confidential Information shall not be used in any way detrimental to Retail Business Manager, and the Practice will keep such Confidential
Information confidential and will ensure that its affiliates and advisors who have access to such Confidential Information comply with these nondisclosure obligations; provided, however, that the Practice may disclose Confidential Information to

nature of the Confidential Information, will agree to be bound by this Section, and will be directed by the Practice not to disclose to any other person any Confidential Information. 
  
 4.6 Non-Competition. The Practice hereby recognizes, acknowledges, and avers that Retail Business Manager will incur
substantial costs in providing the equipment, support services, personnel, management, administration, and other items and services that are the subject matter of this Retail Business Management Agreement and that in the process of providing

non-competition covenants described hereunder are necessary for the protection of Retail Business Manager, and that Retail Business Manager would not have entered into this Retail Business Management Agreement without the following covenants.

  

 -21- 

 (a) Except as specifically agreed to by Retail Business Manager in writing, the Practice covenants and
agrees that during the Term of this Retail Business Management Agreement and for a period of one (1) year from the date this Retail Business Management Agreement is terminated, other than if terminated by the Practice for cause, or expires the
Practice shall not directly or indirectly own (excluding ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the equity of any publicly traded entity and excluding ownership of the common stock of Retail Business Manager), manage, operate, control, contract
with, lend funds to, lend its name to, maintain any interest whatsoever in, or be employed by, any enterprise (i) having to do with the provision, distribution, promotion, or advertising of any type of management or administrative services or
products to third parties in competition with Retail Business Manager, within a 10 mile radius of any Dispensary of the Practice; and/or (ii) offering any type of service(s) or product(s) to third parties substantially similar to those offered by
Retail Business Manager to the Practice in competition with Retail Business Manager within a 10 mile radius of any Dispensary of the Practice; and/or (iii) providing Optical Services in competition with Retail Manager within a ten (10) mile radius
of any Dispensary of the Practice. 
  
 (b) Restrictive
Covenants by Optometrists. Under the Restrictive Covenant, to the extent then required by the Retail Business Manager, the non-shareholder Professionals agree not to practice optometry and/or therapeutic optometry or provide Optical Services
within a certain radius, as set forth in Exhibit 4.6A, of any Dispensary location at which such Professionals performed services on a regular basis for sixteen (16) or more hours per week or one thousand (1,000) hours during the last twelve months
of such non-Shareholder Professionals’ employment with the Practice. The Restrictive Covenant shall be effective for a period of one (1) year following termination of employment with the Practice and may be subject to a liquidated damages
provision as authorized hereafter. 
  
 (c) Liquidated
Damages. The Practice represents, warrants and covenants that the Restrictive Covenant described above, if then required by the Retail Business Manager, contains a liquidated damages provision, consistent with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky, mandating the payment of $25,000.00 in liquidated damages. Any liquidated damage amount collected by the Practice through enforcement of the Restrictive Covenant shall be delivered immediately to Retail Business Manager for deposit in the
Account and included in the Adjusted Gross Revenue. The Practice hereby stipulates and agrees that Retail Business Manager will suffer severe harm if the Practice fails or refuses to obtain and enforce the Restrictive Covenant, including the
aforesaid liquidated damages provision. The Practice further stipulates and agrees that the parties may be unable to quantify such severe harm, and, accordingly, the Practice shall pay to Retail Business Manager the amount of $25,000.00, as agreed
upon stipulated damages in the event of such failure or refusal to obtain and enforce the Restrictive Covenant. Any liquidated damage amount collected from the Practice as a result of its failure or refusal to enforce the Restrictive Covenant shall
be immediately paid to Retail Business Manager and shall not be included in the Adjusted Gross Revenue for the Practice. 
  
 (d) The Practice understands and acknowledges that Retail Business Manager shall suffer severe harm in the event that the foregoing non-competition
covenants in Section 4.6 are violated, and accordingly, if the Practice breaches any obligation of Section 4.6, in addition to any other remedies available under this Retail Business Management Agreement, at law or in equity, Retail Business Manager
shall be entitled to enforce this Retail Business Management Agreement by injunctive relief and by specific performance of the Retail Business Management Agreement, such relief to be without the necessity of posting a bond, cash or otherwise.
Additionally, nothing in this Section 4.6(d) shall limit Retail Business Manager’s right to recover any other damages to which it is entitled as a result of the Practice’s breach. The time period for which the non-competition covenant is
effective shall be extended day for day for the time period the Practice is in violation of the non-competition covenant. If any provision of the covenants is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable due to an excessive time
period, geographic area, or restricted activity, the covenant shall be reformed to comply with such time period, geographic area, or 

  

 -22- 

 
restricted activity that would be held enforceable. Following termination of this Retail Business Management Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(b) hereof, the
Practice shall not amend, alter or otherwise change any term or provision of the Restrictive Covenants or liquidated damages provisions of the Employment Agreements or the President’s Employment Agreement with the Professionals. Following
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(a) hereof, the Practice and the Professionals shall be relieved of the restrictions imposed by this Section 4.6.

Surgery Center and that such names are duly registered, qualified, or licensed under the laws of the Practice Areas in which they are being used, and that, to the Practice’s knowledge, the Practice is the sole and absolute owner of the names in
the Practice Areas. The Practice covenants and promises that, without the prior written consent of the Retail Business Manager, the Practice will not:

 (b) fail to take any reasonably necessary action that will maintain the
registration, qualification, or licensure current;

license, sell, give, or otherwise transfer the name or the right to use the name to any optometry practice, Optometrist, professional corporation, optical dispensary or any other entity; or

name. 
  
 4.8 Billing Information and Assignments;
Establishment of Fees. The Practice shall promptly provide the Retail Business Manager with all billing and other information reasonably requested by the Retail Business Manager to enable it to bill and collect the Dispensary’s fees and
other charges and reimbursement claims pursuant to Section 3.9, and the Practice shall use its best efforts to procure consents to assignments and other approvals and documents necessary to enable the Retail Business Manager to obtain payment or
reimbursement from third parties for such fees, other charges and claims. 
  
 4.9 Provider Agreements. The Practice shall have ultimate authority with regard to all contractual arrangements with third parties for the Practice’s provision of Optical Services, and the Practice may at

 RETAIL MANAGER’S COMPENSATION. 
  
 5.1 Base Management Fee. The Practice and Retail Business Manager
agree to the compensation set forth herein as being paid to Retail Business Manager in consideration of a substantial commitment made by Retail Business Manager hereunder and that such fees are fair and reasonable. Each month Retail Business Manager
shall be paid that percentage set forth in Exhibit 5.1 of Adjusted Gross Revenue. 
  
 5.2 Supplemental Management Fee. In consideration of the improved efficiencies expected to be effected by Retail Business Manager, as an incentive to Retail Business Manager to effect those efficiencies, and as
additional compensation for the services provided by Retail Business Manager, Retail Business Manager shall be paid each month, during the Term of this Retail Business Management Agreement, that percentage set forth in Exhibit 5.2 of Adjusted Net
Revenue. Adjusted Net Revenue shall be calculated as the amount remaining after subtracting from Adjusted Gross Revenue (i) Dispensary Expenses, (ii) Office Expenses, (iii) Practice Expenses, and (iv) the following Shareholder Expenses: (A)
Shareholder’s salary not to exceed One Hundred Ninety Thousand And No/100 Dollars ($190,000.00) on an annualized basis; (B) the amount of the Bonus with respect to such period as set forth in the President’s Employment Agreement not to

 5.3
Reasonable Value. Payment of the Management Fee is not intended to be and shall not be interpreted or applied as permitting Retail Business Manager to share in the Practice’s fees for Professional 

  

 -24- 

 
Eye Care Services and Optical Services or any other services, but is acknowledged as the Parties’ negotiated agreement as to the reasonable fair market
value of Retail Business Manager’s commitment to pay all Dispensary Expenses and the fair market value of the equipment, contract analysis and support, other support services, purchasing, personnel, management, administration, strategic
management and other items and services furnished by Retail Business Manager pursuant to the Retail Business Management Agreement, considering the nature and volume of the services required and the risks assumed by Retail Business Manager. The
Practice and Retail Business Manager recognize and acknowledge that Retail Business Manager will incur substantial costs and business risks in undertaking to pay all Dispensary Expenses and in providing the support services, personnel, marketing,
management, administration, and other items and services that are the subject matter of this Retail Business Management Agreement. It is the intent of the Parties that the Management Fee reasonably compensate Retail Business Manager for the value to
the Practice of Retail Business Manager’s administrative expertise, given the considerable business risk to Retail Business Manager in providing the Management Services that are the subject of this Retail Business Management Agreement.

  
 5.4 Payment of Management Fee. To facilitate the
payment of the Management Fee as provided in Section 5.1 hereof, the Practice hereby expressly authorizes Retail Business Manager to make withdrawals of the Management Fee from the Account as such fee becomes due and payable during the Term in
accordance with Section 3.10(a) and after termination as provided in Section 6.3. Retail Business Manager shall deliver to the Practice an invoice for the Management Fee accompanied by a reasonably detailed statement of the information upon which
the Management Fee calculation is based. 
  
 5.5 Disputes
Regarding Fees. 
  
 (a) It is the Parties’ intent that
any disputes regarding performance standards of the Retail Business Manager be resolved to the extent possible by good faith negotiation. To that end, the Parties agree that if the Practice in good faith believes that Retail Business Manager has
failed to perform its obligations, and that as a result of such failure, the Practice is entitled to a set-off or reduction in its Management Fees, the Practice shall give Retail Business Manager notice of the perceived failure and request in the
notice a set-off or reduction in Management Fees. Retail Business Manager and the Practice shall then negotiate the dispute in good faith, and if an agreement is reached, the Parties shall implement the resolution without further action. At the
request of Retail Business Manager or the Practice, the Practice Advisory Council shall make recommendations to Retail Business Manager with respect to any dispute concerning a set off or reduction in Management Fees. 
  
 (b) If the Parties cannot reach a resolution within a reasonable time, the
Parties shall submit the dispute to mediation to be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Mediation Rules. 
  
 (c) If the mediation process fails to resolve the dispute, the dispute shall be submitted by either Party to binding arbitration under Section 8.7.

principles of comity or conflicts of laws thereof. 
  
 8.5
Jurisdiction and Venue. Retail Business Manager and the Practice hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in the judicial circuit where the Practice has its principal corporate office, and do
hereby waive all questions of personal jurisdiction and venue, including, without limitation, the claim or defense that such courts constitute an inconvenient forum. 
  
 8.6 Assignment. Except as may be herein specifically provided to the contrary, this Retail Business Management
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns; provided, however, that the Practice may not assign this Retail Business Management Agreement without

pursuant 

  

 -32-

the Practice agrees to look solely to such assignee or transferee for performance of this Retail Business Management Agreement. 
  
 8.7 Arbitration. Any and every dispute of any nature whatsoever that may arise between the Parties, whether sounding in contract, statute, tort,
fraud, misrepresentation, discrimination or any other legal theory, including, but not limited to, disputes relating to or involving the construction, performance or breach of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, whether
entered into prior to, on, or subsequent to the date of this Agreement, or those arising under any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance, shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the then—current commercial
arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the provisions of this paragraph. If the amount in controversy in the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000),
exclusive of interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators. Otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The Parties shall endeavor to select
neutral arbitrators by mutual agreement. If such agreement cannot be reached within thirty (30) calendar days after a dispute has arisen which is to be decided by arbitration, any Party or the Parties jointly shall request the American Arbitration
Association to submit to each Party an identical panel of fifteen (15) persons. Alternate strikes shall be made to the panel, commencing with the Party bringing the claim, until the names of three (3) persons remain, or one (1) person if the case is
to be heard by a single arbitrator. The Parties may, however, by mutual agreement, request the American Arbitration Association to submit additional panels of possible arbitrators. The person(s) thus remaining shall be the arbitrator(s) for such
arbitration. If three (3) arbitrators are selected, the arbitrators shall elect a chairperson to preside at all meetings and hearings. The arbitrator(s), or a majority of them, shall have the power to determine all matters incident to the conduct of
the arbitration, including without limitation all procedural and evidentiary matters and the scheduling of any hearing. The award made by a majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties thereto and the subject matter
thereof. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrators shall
have no authority to award punitive or exemplary damages or any statutory multiple damages, and shall only have the authority to award compensatory damages, arbitration costs, attorney’s fees, declaratory relief, and permanent injunctive
relief, if applicable. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitration shall be held in Louisville, Kentucky. This Section 8.7 shall not prevent either Party from seeking a temporary restraining order or temporary or preliminary injunctive
relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to protect its rights under this Agreement. In the event a Party seeks such injunctive relief pursuant to this Agreement, such action shall not constitute a waiver of the provisions of this
Section 8.7, which shall continue to govern any and every dispute between the Parties, including without limitation the right to damages, permanent injunctive relief and any other remedy, at law or in equity. 
  
 8.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN THEM, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE DISPUTES RELATING TO, OR INVOLVING IN ANY WAY, THE CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, THE PROVISIONS OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAW, REGULATION OR ORDINANCE NOTWITHSTANDING. By execution of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto 

  

 -33- 

 
acknowledges and agrees that it has had an opportunity to consult with legal counsel and that he/she/it knowingly and voluntarily waives any right to a trial
by jury of any dispute pertaining to or relating in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the provisions of any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance notwithstanding. 
  
 8.9 Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either Party of a breach or
violation of any provision of this Retail Business Management Agreement shall not operate as, or be construed to constitute, a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or another provision hereof. 
  
 8.10 Enforcement. In the event either Party resorts to legal action to
enforce or interpret any provision of this Retail Business Management Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover the costs and expenses of such action so incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Retail Business Management Agreement requires, the gender of all words herein shall include the masculine, feminine, and neuter, and the number of all words herein shall include the singular and plural.

“B”. 
  
 12. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate
and the employment relationship between Employee and Employer automatically and immediately shall be severed upon the death of Employee, in which event Employer shall pay to the estate of Employee the compensation which otherwise would be payable to

Employer automatically and immediately severed upon written notice by Employer to Employee following the occurrence of any of the following: 
  
 (a) Upon the disability of Employee, such being Employee’s inability to perform one or more of the essential functions of Employee’s position as
required by this Agreement, due to an illness, injury or incapacity exceeding a period of ninety (90) days within a period of twelve consecutive months, provided such termination shall be in accordance with federal, state and local laws to the
extent applicable to the employment of Employee; 
  
 (b) The
suspension, revocation or cancellation of Employee’s right to practice optometry in any state, district or commonwealth; 
  
 (c) The imposition of any restrictions or limitations by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over Employee or Employer to such an extent that
Employee cannot engage in the professional practice for which he or she was employed; 
  
 (d) Upon a material breach by Employee of this Agreement, provided such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after the Employer provides written notice of the breach to the Employee and within three (3) days
after such notice if such breach has been the subject of a written notice within two (2) years prior to notice of breach hereunder. “Material breach” shall include, but be not limited to, the following: 
  
 (i) Employee fails or refuses, in the determination of Employer, to
faithfully and diligently perform the usual customary duties of Employee’s employment or adhere to the provisions of this Agreement, including those duties, responsibilities and conditions of employment set forth in Exhibit “A”; (ii)
Employee fails or refuses, in the determination of Employer, to comply with such policies, standards and regulations of Employer which from time to time may be reasonably established by Employer; 
  
 (e) Employee breaches any fiduciary duty owed to Employer, or engages in
unprofessional, unethical, immoral, illegal or fraudulent conduct, or is found guilty of unprofessional, illegal or unethical conduct by court, any board, 
  

 3 

 
institution, organization or professional society having any privilege or right to pass upon the conduct of Employee, or Employee’s conduct discredits
Employer or is detrimental to the reputation, character and standing of Employer; or 
  
 (f) Such other event as is specifically set forth in Exhibit “B” hereto. 
  
 13. EARLY TERMINATION. Employee recognizes that failure to complete the Initial Term or any Renewal Term and to provide appropriate notice to Employer
will cause substantial harm to Employer in terms of loss of business, damage to business reputation, ability to obtain licensed optometrists to replace Employee, inconvenience to other employees of Employer, and the costs associated with finding a
replacement. If Employee should terminate this Agreement and cease to perform hereunder (i) without providing to Employer the required non-renewal notice or (ii) prior to the end of the term of this Agreement, Employee shall pay to Employer the sum
of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000), as reimbursement to Employer of the costs to Employer associated with said early termination. Employee and Employer agree that it is impossible to determine with any reasonable accuracy the amount of prospective
damages to Employer upon breach by Employee of the provisions of this paragraph. Employee and Employer agree that the payment set forth above is reasonable, and not a penalty, based upon the facts and circumstances of the parties at the time of
entering this Agreement, and with due regard to future expectations. 
  
 14. CONFIDENTIALITY AND COMPETITIVE ACTIVITIES. Employee specifically agrees to the covenants and provisions governing Confidentiality and Competitive Activities set forth in Exhibit “B”. 
  
 15. PATIENT CARE UPON TERMINATION. Upon any termination of this employment
relationship, Employer shall provide duly licensed optometrists to assume the care and treatment of all patients previously assigned to Employee. 
  
 16. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES. The parties recognize that the Board of Directors shall manage the business affairs of Employer and that the
relationship between the parties hereto shall be that of an employer and an employee. Employee shall be entitled to participate in any plans, arrangements or distribution of and by Employer pertaining to or in connection with any pension,
profit-sharing, or similar benefits and group life, health, accident and disability insurance or benefits, or similar fringe benefits for the employees of Employer, to the extent of and in accordance with the terms and provisions of any plan,
arrangement or distribution, which may be in effect from time to time during the term of this Agreement. Employee stipulates and agrees that any and all such fringe benefits may be changed, altered, amended, discontinued, decreased or increased in
the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of Employer. 
  
 17.
REMEDIES AND WAIVER OF BREACH. The waiver by any party hereto of any of the terms and conditions hereof or any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a general waiver of any such terms and conditions or permit
a subsequent breach by any party. Additionally, in the event of any violation of paragraph 14 hereof by Employee, the parties hereby recognize and acknowledge that a remedy at law will be inadequate and 

  

 4 

 
Employer may suffer irreparable injury. Accordingly, Employee consents to injunctive relief upon the institution of proceedings therefor by Employer in order
to protect Employer’s rights under such paragraph 14. If any covenant referred to in paragraph 14 or any portion thereof is hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants
contained therein, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions, and any court having jurisdiction shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such covenant and, in its reduced form, such covenant shall
then be enforceable. No delay or omission by Employer in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or at law or in equity, and no payment to Employee of amounts owing him or her subsequent to the breach of any provision hereof or after the
termination hereof, shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies which Employer may have hereunder and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of the exercise of any other right or remedy.
Nothing in this paragraph 17 shall constitute a waiver of any of Employer’s rights under paragraph 25 of this Agreement. 
  
 18. ASSIGNMENT. Employee agrees that this Agreement and the rights, interests and benefits hereunder shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or
hypothecated in any way by Employee. This Agreement shall not be assignable by Employer except pursuant to a merger, to an affiliate of Employer or to a party which succeeds to the ownership of all or substantially all of the business and assets of
Employer. 
  
 19. NOTICES. Any notice given under this Agreement
shall be sufficient if in writing and mailed by either registered or certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to Employer at its permanent address and to Employee at Employee’s residence address last known to Employer.
Any such notice shall be effective upon the earlier of actual receipt or five (5) days after mailing in accordance with the preceding sentence. 
  
 20. INVALID PROVISION. The invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and
this Agreement shall be construed in all aspects as if such unenforceable or invalid provisions were omitted. 
  
 21. CONSTRUCTION, VENUE AND BINDING EFFECT. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED, EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY, AND SHALL IN ALL
RESPECTS BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED, AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY. Subject to the arbitration provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving the same, the exclusive venue for
any dispute between the parties hereto arising under this Agreement shall be in the federal and state courts sitting in Commonwealth of Kentucky. The captions used herein as headings of the various paragraphs hereof are for convenience only and are
not to be used in determining or construing the intent or context of this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties, their spouses, heirs, executors, personal representatives, and permitted assigns.

Parties, whether sounding in contract, statute, tort, fraud, misrepresentation, discrimination or any other legal theory, including, but not limited to, disputes relating to or involving the construction, performance or breach of this Agreement or
any other agreement between the Parties, whether entered into prior to, on, or subsequent to the date of this Agreement, or those arising under any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance, shall be determined by binding arbitration in
accordance with the then-current commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the provisions of this paragraph. If the amount in controversy in the arbitration exceeds Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), exclusive of interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators. Otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral
arbitrator. The Parties shall endeavor to select neutral arbitrators by mutual agreement. If such agreement cannot be reached within thirty (30) calendar days after a dispute has arisen which is to be decided by arbitration, any Party or the Parties
jointly shall request the American Arbitration Association to submit to each Party an identical panel of fifteen (15) persons. Alternate strikes shall be made to the panel, commencing with the Party bringing the claim, until the names of three (3)
persons remain, or one (1) person if the case is to be heard by a single arbitrator. The Parties may, however, by mutual agreement, request the American Arbitration Association to submit additional panels of possible arbitrators. The person(s) thus
remaining shall be the arbitrators for such arbitration. If three (3) arbitrators are selected, the arbitrators shall elect a chairperson to preside at all. meetings and hearings. The arbitrators, or a majority of them, shall have the power to
determine all matters incident to the conduct of the arbitration, including without limitation all procedural and evidentiary matters and the scheduling of any hearing. The award made by a majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon
the Parties thereto and the subject matter. The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1- 16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction
thereof. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or exemplary damages or any statutory multiple damages, and shall only have the authority to award compensatory damages, arbitration costs, attorney’s fees declaratory relief,
and permanent injunctive relief, if applicable. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitration shall be held in Louisville, Kentucky. This Paragraph 22 shall not prevent either Party from seeking a temporary restraining order or temporary
or preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to protect its rights under this Agreement. In the event a Party seeks such injunctive relief pursuant to this Agreement, such action shall not constitute a waiver of
the provisions of this Paragraph 22, which shall continue to govern any and every dispute between the Parties, including without limitation the right to damages, permanent injunctive relief and any other remedy, at law or in equity. 
  

 6 

 23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
DISPUTE OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN THEM, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE DISPUTES RELATING TO OR INVOLVING, IN ANY WAY THE CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES,
THE PROVISIONS OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAW, REGULATION OR ORDINANCE NOTWITHSTANDING. By execution of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that it has had an opportunity to consult with legal counsel and that
he/she knowingly and voluntarily waives any right to a trial by jury of any dispute pertaining to or relating in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the provisions of any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance
notwithstanding.

 (Attached to and incorporated into the foregoing
Employment Agreement) 
  
 QUALIFICATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

  
 Employee is an optometrist who is qualified by training and experience to
perform the duties of an optometrist with the available facilities, equipment and supporting technology provided by Employer. Employee is also expected to perform a number of other administrative and business development duties which further the
goals of Employer. Many of these other items require additional time, effort, and dedication to long-term goals and objectives of Employer. 
  
 At all times during the term of this Agreement, Employee shall, as directed by Employer from time to time: 
  

	1.	Work a minimum of              (    ) hours each week.

 EXHIBIT “B” 
  
 (Attached to and incorporated into the foregoing Employment Agreement)

  
 COMPENSATION, BENEFITS, PERQUISITES 
 AND OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT 
  

	A.	COMPENSATION. For all services rendered by Employee under this Agreement (and in addition to other monetary or other benefits referred to in this Agreement), compensation shall be
paid by Employer to Employee as follows: 

  

 8 

	 	(1)	Employer shall pay Employee, during the Initial Term of this Agreement, a regular salary in the annualized amount of
                             Dollars
($            .00), payable in equal periodic installments in accordance with Employer’s payroll practices and policies in effect from time to time. The regular salary of
Employee shall be adjusted at the beginning of a renewal term by an amount equal to the sum total obtained by multiplying the then current regular annual salary by the CPI Adjustment Factor (defined below). As used herein, the term “CPI
Adjustment Factor” shall mean the amount derived by dividing the CPI (as herein defined) most recently published as of the first day of the calendar year of the beginning of the subsequent term by the CPI most recently published as of the first
day of the calendar year of the beginning of the current term. For purposes hereof “CPI” means the Consumer Price Index of Urban Consumers—For All Urban Consumers (all items 1982—1984 = 100), published by the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (the “Bureau”). If the CPI should ever cease to be published by the Bureau during the term of this Agreement, the CPl Adjustment Factor shall be computed by using an economic index selected
by Employer, of generally recognized standing, that reflects the increase or decrease of the purchasing power of the dollar. 

  

	 	(2)	In addition to the regular salary, Employee may receive a bonus pursuant to a bonus program established by Employer. The amount and time of payment of such bonus and requirements to
obtain such bonus shall be as set forth on Attachment B-1.

	 	 	14 days if employed 6 months or more in the 1st calendar year
		
	In the 3rd calendar year and thereafter	 	17 days

  

 9 

 The scheduling of time off shall be subject to the prior approval of Employer. Paid time off is to include time absent
from work (i) for vacation, (ii) due to illness or injury or (iii) for the purpose of attending continuing education conferences and meetings. Once Employee has used all paid time off for a calendar year, any additional time taken off by Employee
during the same calendar year shall be without pay. Paid time-off not used in one Calendar Year may not be accrued and used in the subsequent Calendar Year. All unused paid time-off at the time of termination of employment shall be forfeited. If
Employee is currently employed by Employer a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Employer at the time of the execution of this Agreement, when determining the number of years of employment for purposes of this section, Employee shall be given credit
for all years of employment during Employee’s current period of employment by Employer.

	C.	DISABILITY. If Employee is unable to perform Employee’s duties by reason of illness, injury, or any other disability, Employee shall be entitled to receive compensation during
the period of such inability as follows: 

  

	 	(1)	If Employee is unable to perform Employee’s duties by reason of a disability, including illness, injury, or other incapacity (including pregnancy), then for the period of such
disability up to a period of forty-five (45) days, including the use of any and all accrued and unused paid time-off, Employee shall be entitled to receive Employee’s regular salary as specified in this Agreement but in no event shall Employee
be entitled to receive compensation under such circumstances for more than forty-five (45) continuous days, or any forty-five (45) days during a period of one (1) year, including the use of any and all accrued and unused paid time off, provided that
the compensation under this section C shall cease the date Employee is first eligible to receive payment of disability benefits under any disability insurance coverage provided by Employer. 

  

	 	(2)	While Employee is receiving compensation pursuant to this section C, Employee shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefits provided by Employer to the extent allowed
under each of the benefit programs. 

  

	 	(3)	All accrued and unused used paid time-off of Employee for the current calendar year shall first be used in connection with time-off for a disability and shall be deducted from
Employee’s forty-five (45) days of paid disability pursuant to this section C. 

  

	 	(4)	 If a controversy shall arise concerning the existence, cause, 

  

 10 

	 	 
duration, or extent of disability claimed by Employee, the matter shall be resolved by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to Employee and
Employer, who will make his determination in writing. If the parties can not agree as to a qualified independent physician, Employer shall appoint one physician and Employee shall appoint one physician, and the two physicians shall appoint a
qualified independent physician who shall make a determination in writing. The determination of disability pursuant to this section C shall be final and binding on the parties.

relating to, or by reason of, acts and/or omissions of Employee in the course of employment pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that such liability, damage, cost, or expense is the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of

 6. Confidentiality and Competitive Activities.

  
 (a) Confidentiality. Executive acknowledges that during
his employment with the Company, the Company has and will continue to disclose to him the confidential affairs and proprietary information of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates which is developed by and 

  

 2 

 
belongs to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including matters of a business nature such as information about costs, profits, markets, sales,
trade secrets, potential patents and other business ideas, customer lists, supplier and vendor lists, plans for future developments and/or acquisitions, and information of any other kind not known within the optical retail industry or the optometric
profession generally (collectively, “Confidential Matters”). Executive further acknowledges that the Company would not hire Executive or disclose these Confidential Matters to Executive without the promises made by Executive in this
Section 6. In light of the foregoing, Executive agrees: 
  
 (i) To keep secret all Confidential Matters of the Company and of any affiliates of the Company, and of any third party to whom the Company is bound by a confidentiality agreement, and not to disclose them to anyone
outside of the Company or its affiliates, or otherwise use them or use his knowledge of them for his own benefit or for the benefit of any third party, including, without limitation, use of the trade secrets, trade names or trademarks of the
Company, either during or after the Term, except with the Company’s prior written consent; and 
  
 (ii) To deliver promptly to the Company at the termination of the Term, or at any time the Company may request, all memoranda, notices,
records, reports and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, including, but not limited to, Confidential Matters, which he may then possess or have under his control.

  
 Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the term
“Confidential Matters” does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of any disclosure by Executive or (ii) Executive is compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative
process; provided, that in the case of any such requirement or purported requirement Executive shall provide written notice to the Company prior to producing such information, which notice shall be given at least ten (10) days prior to the producing

 (b) Competitive Activities. Executive expressly recognizes and acknowledges that the terms and condition of this Section 6(b) are reasonable as to
time, area and scope of restricted activity, necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and are not unduly burdensome to Executive. The parties contemplate and agree that the following restrictions in this Section 6(b) shall only
be applicable after the term hereof if the Option (as defined in the Right Agreement, of even date herewith (the “Option Agreement”), by and among Eye Care Holdings, Inc. and Executive) is exercised, and then the duration of the
non-competition provisions to be based upon the Exercise Price ( as defined in the Right Agreement) and the date of the exercise of the Option. During the term hereof, and for the period, if any, after the date hereof under the caption
“Duration of the Non-compete Covenant” set forth on Exhibit A attached to the Right Agreement following the effective date of a termination of Executive’s employment (for any reason whatsoever), Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise), alone or as officer, director, stockholder (excepting not more than 1% stockholdings for investment purposes in securities of publicly held and traded companies), partner, associate, employee,
agent, principal, creditor, guarantor, trustee, salesman, consultant, or in any other capacity, take any action in or participate with or become interested in or associated with any person, firm, partnership, corporation or other entity whatsoever

regional or local optical retailer or (ii) is, or is affiliated with, a national, regional or local optical retailer and is engaged in the business, directly or indirectly, of managing or providing management services to a Person engaged in the
business of the

engaged in such activity in any of the geographic areas consisting of each county or parish and each county or parish contiguous thereto, in which a store is located that is owned, operated or managed by the Company as of the date of termination of
his employment (such activities are hereinafter referred to as the “Competitive Activities” and the restricted areas are hereinafter referred to as the “Restricted Areas”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be
permitted to be employed by a national, regional or local optical retailer, provided that (i) Executive does not disclose the management structure between the Company and Visionary MSO, Inc., Visionary Retail Management, Inc. and Visionary
Properties, Inc. or disclose any other operating information relating thereto, or provide any advise or counsel with respect to structuring arrangements similar to such management structure, and (ii) Executive’s duties do not include or
otherwise involve supervising or directing management services provided by such employer to the practices of independent optometrists or opthalmologist. The foregoing exception to the prohibitions against Competitive Activities shall not release
Executive, or waive any rights of the Company with respect to, any of Executive’s other covenants, obligations or duties hereunder including without limitation, the provisions of Section 6(a), 6(c) and 6(d). For purposes hereof, a
“Person” shall mean any individual, firm, partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity. 
  
 (c) Antisolicitation. Executive agrees that for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending two (2) years after the termination date of his
employment, he will not influence or attempt to influence customers (including customers with respect to managed care plans), vendors or suppliers of the Company, ECCA, Visionary Retail Management, Inc., Visionary MSO, Inc. or any of their
respective present or future direct or indirect subsidiaries or affiliates, either directly or indirectly, to divert their business to any individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity then engaged in Competitive Activities;
provided, however, that this prohibition shall not apply to general advertisements in newspapers or other widely distributed publications, media, or mail, whether electronic or otherwise. 
  
 (d) Soliciting Employees. Executive agrees that for a period
commencing on the date hereof and ending two (2) years after the termination date of his employment, he will not directly or indirectly contact or solicit to employ, or employ, any of the then-current or past employees of the Company, ECCA,
Visionary Retail Management, Inc., Visionary MSO, Inc. or any of their respective direct or indirect subsidiaries or affiliates unless such person shall have ceased to be employed by such entity and such cessation of employment shall have occurred
at least twelve (12) months prior thereto; provided, however, general advertisements in newspapers or other widely distributed publications, media, or mail, whether electronic or otherwise shall not by itself be deemed as soliciting
employees. 
  
 7. Remedies for Breach. In addition
to the rights and remedies provided in Section 16, and without waiving the same, if Executive breaches, or threatens to breach, any of the provisions of Section 6, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to any others,
each of which shall be independent of the other and severally enforceable: 
  
 (i) The right and remedy to have such provisions specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction together with an accounting for any benefit or gain by Executive in connection with any such breach.
Executive specifically acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of Section 6 will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. Such
injunction shall be available without the posting of any bond or other security. 
  

 4 

 (ii) The right and remedy to require Executive to account for and pay over to the Company
all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits (hereinafter collectively the “Benefits”) derived or received, directly or indirectly, by Executive as a result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of
the provisions of Section 6, Executive hereby agreeing to account for and pay over the Benefits to the Company. 
  
 (iii) The right to terminate Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 8(c). 
  
 (iv) Upon discovery by the Company of a breach or threatened
breach of Section 6, the right to immediately suspend payments to Executive under Section 8, pending a resolution of the dispute. 
  
 If any covenant contained in Section 6 or any portion thereof is hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the
remainder of the covenant or covenants contained therein, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions, and any court having jurisdiction shall reform the covenant to the extent necessary to cause the limitations
contained therein as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained to be reasonable and to impose a restraint that is not greater than necessary to protect the goodwill and other business interest of the Company and shall enforce
the covenant as reformed. The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in Section 6 upon the courts of any state or other jurisdiction in which any alleged breach of any such covenant occurs. If the
courts of one or more of such states or other jurisdictions shall hold such covenants not wholly enforceable by reason of the scope thereof or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect
the Company’s right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other states or jurisdictions as to breaches of such covenants in such other states or jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each state or jurisdiction being,
for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants. If any court determines that such covenants are unenforceable, the Company shall be relieved of all obligations under this Agreement and Executive shall not be entitled to any
payments which are suspended pursuant to Section 7(iv). 
  
 8.
Termination of Agreement. 
  
 (a) Death. This
Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the death of Executive. If Executive’s employment is terminated due to his death during the Term, Executive’s estate shall be entitled to receive the Base Salary set forth in Section 4 accrued
through the end of the month in which the death occurs; provided, however, Executive’s estate shall not be entitled to any Bonus payments or any other benefits (except as provided by law). 
  
 (b) Disability. If Executive is unable to perform his services by
reason of mental or physical Disability (as herein defined), the Company may terminate this Agreement at any time. Upon termination of Executive’s employment due to Disability, Executive shall be entitled to receive the Base Salary set forth in

period of more than three (3) consecutive months where no reasonable accommodation is available or where a reasonable accommodation would create an undue burden on 

  

 5 

 
the Company. Any question as to the existence of the Disability of Executive as to which Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in
writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to Executive and the Company. If the Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall
select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of the Agreement. 
  
 (c) Termination For Cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement at
any time for “Cause” in accordance with the procedures provided below. Termination of this Agreement for “Cause” shall mean termination upon (i) the breach of any material provision of this Agreement by Executive; (ii) conviction

of the Executive) from time to time by the Company; (vi) current alcohol or drug abuse by Executive as confirmed by an independent physician mutually agreed upon by the parties (Executive hereby agreeing to undergo an examination by such physician);
(vii) suspension, revocation or cancellation of Employee’s right to practice optometry in any state; or (viii) Executive ceases to be a shareholder of the Company. In the event of termination of Executive’s employment for Cause as defined
herein, Executive shall be entitled to receive only the Base Salary set forth in Section 4 accrued through the date of termination and he shall not be entitled to any Bonus payments or other benefits (except as provided by law). 
  
 (d) Other Termination by the Company. The Company may terminate this
Agreement at any time without “Cause” by providing thirty (30) days prior written notice to Executive. If the Company terminates this Agreement at any time without Cause (i.e., other than pursuant to Section 8(b) or 8(c) above), or the
Company elects not to renew the Term as provided in Section 2 hereof, the Company shall be obligated to pay Executive, and Executive shall be entitled to receive only, the Base Salary set forth in Section 4 accrued through the date of termination
and he shall not be entitled to any Bonus payments or other benefits (except as provided by law). 
  
 (e) Termination by Executive. Executive may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company; provided, however,

effective date of termination and the Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to payment of Base Salary, Bonus or any similar compensation or benefits. Notwithstanding the notice provided by
Executive, the Company, in its sole discretion, may choose to accept Executive’s resignation immediately. In that event, the Company’s only obligation to Executive will be to pay the Base Salary Executive would have received during the
notice period. 
  
 9. Effect of Termination. Upon the
termination of this Agreement, whether by the expiration of the Term specified in Section 2 or pursuant to Section 8, the rights of Executive which shall have accrued prior to the date of such termination shall not be affected in any way. Except as

  

 6 

 
otherwise provided in Section 8, Executive shall not have any rights which have not previously accrued upon termination of this Agreement.
