(a)

	
Vesting.

5.2           The Executive will, upon reasonable notice, during or after the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, furnish information as may be in his possession and cooperate with the Company as may reasonably be requested in connection with any claims or legal actions in which the Company is or may become a party.  The Executive shall receive reasonable compensation for the time expended by him pursuant to this Section 5.2 after termination of employment hereunder.

 

5.3           The Executive acknowledges that certain information pertaining to the business and operations of the Company, such as strategic plans, product development, financial costs, pricing terms, sales data or new or developing business opportunities (“Confidential Information”) is confidential and is a unique and valuable asset of the Company.  Access to and knowledge of this Confidential Information are essential to the performance of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement.  The Executive will not during the term of this Agreement or following termination of his employment, except to the extent reasonably necessary in the performance of his duties under this Agreement, give to any person, firm, association, corporation or governmental agency any Confidential Information except as required by law.  The Executive will not make use of this Confidential Information for his own purposes or for the benefit of any person or organization other than the Company.  The Executive will also use his best efforts to prevent the disclosure of this Confidential Information by others.  All records, memoranda, etc. relating to the business of the Company whether made by the Executive or otherwise coming into his possession will remain the property of the Company.

 

5.4           The Executive will not Compete with the Company (as hereinafter defined) at any time while he is employed by the Company.

In the event of a termination after a Change in Control that gives rise to payments to the Executive under Section 4.2, the Executive will not Compete with the Company for one (1) year from the date of termination. In the event of a Voluntary Termination in which the Executive only receives payment as defined under Section 4.3, or which follows a Company non-extension notice delivered pursuant to Section 1.1, there will be no restriction on the Executive’s right to Compete with the Company after the date his employment terminates. For the purposes of this Section 5.4, the term “Compete with the Company” means action by the Executive, direct or indirect, either as an officer, director, stockholder, owner, partner, employee or in any other capacity, resulting in the Executive having any legal or equitable ownership or other financial or non-financial interest in or employment with, any HMO, managed care, workers’ compensation or health insurance business in any state where the Company conducts such business at the date of a termination of the Executive’s employment; provided, however, that the term “Compete with the Company” shall not include ownership (without any more extensive relationship) of a less than a five percent (5%) interest in any publicly-held corporation or other business entity. The Executive acknowledges that the covenants contained herein are reasonable as to geographic and temporal scope. The Executive acknowledges that his breach or threatened or attempted breach of any provision of this Section 5.4 may cause irreparable harm to the Company not compensable in monetary damages and that the Company may be entitled, in addition to all other applicable remedies, to a temporary and permanent injunction and a decree for specific performance of the terms of this Section 5.4.

 

5.5           The Executive agrees that, following his termination of employment, he shall not, in any communications with the press or other media or in any communications with any potential or actual stockholder, lender, investor, customer, client or supplier of the Company of any of its affiliates, criticize, ridicule or make any statement that disparages or is derogatory of the Company or any of its affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers or employees. The foregoing will not apply to any non-public oral statements made by the Executive to the Company or to any of the Company’s representatives or  any compelled testimony or production, either by legal process, subpoena or otherwise; provided, however, in the event that the Executive is requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law, regulation, or legal process to testify or otherwise respond to a request for information from any governmental authority, the Executive will notify the Company promptly (to the extent allowed by any such law, regulation or legal process) so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.

 

5.6           The Executive agrees that for a period of one (1) year following the Employee’s termination of employment (whether voluntary or involuntary), he shall not, directly or indirectly, personally or as an employee, officer, director, partner, member, owner or consultant, induce, select, recruit or hire any employee of the Company or otherwise interfere with the employment relationship of any person employed by the Company.

 

  

  

  

 

6.           INDEMNIFICATION OF EXECUTIVE

 

The Company shall indemnify the Executive and shall reimburse the Executive’s expenses under the circumstances described, and to the maximum extent provided under the mandatory and the permissive indemnification and expense reimbursement provisions of Delaware law.  The provisions of this Section 7.1 shall continue in full force and effect after Executive ceases to serve as an officer, director, employee or in any other capacity with the Company or any of its affiliates and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors or administrators.

 

7.           MISCELLANEOUS

 

7.1           This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter and supersedes any prior employment or severance agreements between the Company and its affiliates and the Executive.

 

7.2           This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing signed by the parties.  No term or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to have been waived except in writing by the party charged with waiver.  A waiver shall operate only as to a specific term or condition waived and will not constitute a waiver for the future or act on anything other than that which is specifically waived.

 

7.3           Any payments to be made by the Company to the Executive hereunder shall be made less any applicable tax withholdings.

 

7.4           This Agreement shall be deemed to conform to all requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all requirements of the Code, including but not limited to Sections 280G and 409A of the Code.  It is intended that (i) each payment or installment of payments provided under this Agreement is a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and (ii) that the payments satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of  Section 409A of the Code, including those provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4) (regarding short-term deferrals), 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (regarding the two-times, two year exception), and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v) (regarding reimbursements and other separation pay).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company determines (i) that on the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(h)) or at such other time that the Company determines to be relevant, the Executive is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(i)(1)) of the Company and (ii) that any payments to be provided to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement are or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A of the Code (the “Section 409A Taxes”) if provided at the time otherwise required under this Agreement, then such payments shall be delayed until the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Executive’s separation from service with the Company, or such shorter period that, as determined by the Company, is sufficient to avoid the imposition of Section 409A Taxes. Any payments delayed pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be made in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service, or such earlier date that, as determined by the Company, is sufficient to avoid the imposition of any Section 409A Taxes.

 

7.5           Should any part of this Agreement be declared invalid for any reason, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion hereof and such remaining portion shall continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been originally executed without including the invalid part.  Should any covenant of this Agreement be unenforceable because of its geographic scope or term, its geographic scope or term shall be modified to such extent as may be necessary to render such covenant enforceable.

 

7.6           Titles and captions in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement nor the intent of any provision thereof.

 

7.7           This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

7.8           This Agreement has been executed and delivered in the State of Maryland and its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement shall be governed by the laws of that state.  Any dispute among the parties hereto shall be settled by arbitration in Bethesda, Maryland, in accordance with the rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  All provisions hereof are for the protection and are intended to be for the benefit of the parties hereto and enforceable directly by each party.  Each party hereto agrees that the remedy at law of the other party for any actual or threatened breach of this Employment Agreement would be inadequate and that the other party shall be entitled to specific performance hereof or injunctive relief or both, by temporary or permanent injunction or such other appropriate judicial remedy, writ or orders as may be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction in addition to any damages which the complaining party may be legally entitled to recover.

 

  

  

  

 

7.9           All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been made when delivered or mailed first-class postage prepaid by registered mail, return receipt requested, or when delivered if by hand, overnight delivery service or confirmed facsimile transmission to the following:

 

(i)             If to the Company, at 6705 Rockledge Drive, Suite 900, Bethesda, Maryland, 20817, Attention: Chairman of the Compensation Committee, or at such other address as may have been furnished to the Executive by the Company in writing; or

7.10           This Agreement shall be binding on the parties’ successors, heirs and assigns.

 

7.11           The terms of this Agreement were developed consistent with current applicable tax laws and regulations.
