 7.
Radiologix’s Release. Radiologix hereby unconditionally releases and discharges Linehan from any and all Claims that Radiologix has as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that Radiologix does not release him from any Claim

Section 5.2(c) of the Employment Agreement remain in full force and effect, and the one-year period referred to therein shall begin on the Effective Date. The parties agree that these obligations were included in the Employment Agreement because of
the Confidential Information Radiologix promised to provide Linehan and that he received from Radiologix during his employment. If any court of competent jurisdiction holds that any of the obligations or restrictions in Section 5.2(c) of the
Employment Agreement are unreasonable or unenforceable as written, the court may reform the

 obligations or restrictions to make them enforceable, and the obligations and restrictions shall remain in full force and
