right to take any and all actions as Executive shall deem appropriate with regard to said options and/or rights, including without limitation the immediate right to receive unissued, but accrued stock options, exercise stock options and/or transfer
or sell stock. Employer shall take all actions necessary to immediately issue any stock options which have accrued, but have not yet been issued. 
  
 11.3  If Executive elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11, then Executive shall further be entitled, in lieu of the receipt of shares of Common Stock of the Employer
issuable upon exercise of Executive’s stock options, whether such options arose under this Agreement or otherwise, to receive from Employer an amount in cash or Common Stock of the Employer (or any combination thereof) as Executive shall in his
sole discretion designate (hereinafter “like-kind election”) equal to the excess of the fair market value (hereinafter defined) as of the Change-in-Control Date of each share of Common Stock over the exercise price(s) of each share
represented by Executive’s options, times the number of shares of Common Stock represented by such options. The “fair market value” of each share of the Common Stock shall be equal to the highest of (i) the value as determined by the
Board of Directors of the Employer if there is no organized trading market for the shares at the time such determination is made, or (ii) the closing price per share as of the date of the like-kind election (or the average of the bid and asked
prices if no closing price is available) on any nationally recognized securities exchange or association on which the Employer’s shares may be quoted or listed, or (iii) the highest per share price actually paid for Common Stock in connection
with any change in control of the Employer, or (iv) the fair market value of the shares of the Common Stock as determined by Sheshunoff or Keefe, Bruyette and Woods or similarly qualified entity or (v) the price being paid for each share of Common
Stock as part of the Change-in-Control. The payment provided for in this Section 11.2 shall be paid in full not later than ten (10) days after the date of the Change-in-Control Notice by Executive under this Section 11 or on the Change-

 

 5 

 of-Control Date, whichever is later. 
  
 11.4  For purposes of this Section 11, “change in control” of the employer shall mean the first to occur of any one or more of the
following: 
  
 (i)  any transaction, whether by merger, consolidation, asset sale,
recapitalization, reorganization, combination, stock purchase, tender offer, reverse stock split, or otherwise, which results in the acquisition of, or beneficial ownership (as such term is defined under rules and regulations promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by, any person or entity or any group of persons or entities acting in concert, of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the Employer; or 
  
 (ii)  the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Employer; or 
  
 (iii)  the liquidation of the Employer or a material amount of Employer’s assets; or 

 
 (iv)  the takeover or control of all of substantially all of the operations of Employer through any
of the means specified in 11.4 (I) above; or 
  
 (v)  the approval by the Board of
Directors and the holders of a majority of the Common Shares then outstanding of any of the events or transactions listed in 11.4(I)—(iv) above. 
  
 12.  Return of Materials.    Upon the termination of his employment with Employer, Executive shall deliver to Employer all memoranda, notes,
records, manuals or other documents, including all copies of such materials, pertaining to the performance of executive’s services hereunder or containing Trade Secrets or Confidential Information, whether made or compiled by Executive or
furnished to him from any source by virtue of his employment with Employer. 
  
 13.  Severability.    Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in Sections 9 through 12 of this Agreement shall be construed as covenants independent of
one another and distinct from the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement, and severable from every other contract and course of business between Employer and Executive, and that the existence of any claim, suit of action by Executive
against Employer, whether predicted upon this or any other agreement shall not constitute a defense to Employer’s enforcement of any covenant contained in Sections 9 through 12 of this Agreement. Likewise, the existence of any 

 6 

 claim, suit and/or action by Employer against Executive, whether predicated on this or any other agreement, shall not act as, constitute or
permit a setoff or defense to Employer’s obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 14.  Specific Performance.    Executive acknowledges and agrees that except as otherwise stated, the covenants contained in Section 9 and 12 of this Agreement shall survive
any termination of employment, as applicable, with or without Cause, at the instigation or upon the initiative of either party. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the ascertainment of damages in the event of Executive’s breach of
any covenant contained in Section 9 and 12 of this Agreement would be difficult, if at all possible. Executive therefore acknowledges and agrees that Employer shall be entitled in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights, remedies, or
damages available to Employer in arbitration, at law or in equity, upon submitting whatever affidavit the law may require, and posting any necessary bond, to have a court of competent jurisdiction enjoin Executive from committing any such breach of
the covenants stated in paragraphs 9 and 12. 
  
 15.  Termination 

 
 15.1.1  For Cause.    This Agreement may be terminated for any of
the following reasons by the Board of Directors of the Employer “for cause”, but only after giving Executive written notice of the Board’s intent to terminate Executive setting forth all matters constituting “cause” and
further giving thirty (30) days, (or, if cure is not able to be completed in thirty (30) days after the exercise of due diligence, such longer period as is reasonable necessary) to cure the matters giving rise to the “for cause”
termination: 
  
 (i)  gross negligence or willful misconduct of executive materially
damaging to the business of the Employer during the term of this Agreement, or at any time while he was employed by the Employer prior to the term of this Agreement, if not disclosed to the Employer prior to the commencement of the term of this
Agreement; or (ii) conviction of Executive during the term of this Agreement of a crime involving breach of trust or moral turpitude. In the event that the Employer discharges Executive alleging “cause” under this Section 15.1 and it is
subsequently determined judicially that the determination was “without cause”, then such discharge shall be deemed a discharge without cause subject to the provisions of Section 15.2 hereof. In the event that Executive fails to cure those
matters giving rise to the “for cause” termination, then upon Employer’s discharge of Executive for “cause” under this 
 

 7 

  
 Section 15.1, such notice of discharge shall be accompanied by a written and
specific description of the circumstances constituting such “cause” (hereinafter “Notice of Discharge.”) Upon termination for cause, Executive shall be paid not later than the thirtieth day following the date of the Notice of
Discharge, without setoff or deduction, all accrued but unpaid Base Salary and Performance Bonuses, and Executive shall further have those rights stated in Section 15.3 below. 
  
 15.2  Without Cause.  
  
 (i)  The Employer may, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice (“Notice of Termination”) to Executive, terminate this Agreement without cause at any time during the term of this Agreement upon the
condition that Executive shall be paid without setoff or deduction (a) all Base Salary and Performance Bonuses accrued, but not yet paid, plus (b) as liquidated damages in lieu of any claim by Executive for damages arising out of early termination
an amount equal to the Change-in-Control Payment provided in Paragraph J of Exhibit “A” hereof, and Executive shall have the right to a like-kind election as described in 11.2 above; provided, however, that for purposes of determining the
fair market value of common stock, such fair market value shall be determined as of the date of Notice of Termination without cause of this Agreement given by the Employer to Executive. Additionally, in the event of a without cause termination,
Executive shall have all of the rights and benefits provided for in Section 15.3 below. The payment provided for in this Section 15.2 shall be made to Executive not later than the thirtieth (30) day following the date of the Notice of Termination of
employment of Executive. In the event of termination by Employer without cause, Employer shall have no right to enforce the terms and conditions of the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in Section 17 hereof and such provisions shall not
be binding upon Executive. 
  
 (ii)  Executive may upon thirty (30) days’ written
notice (“Notice of Termination”) to Employer terminate this Agreement without cause at any time during the term of this Agreement. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Executive, then Executive shall have all of the same rights
that Executive would have had if Employer had terminated without cause, except that the Employer shall have no obligation to pay to Executive an amount equal to the Change-in-Control Payment. However, Employer shall be obligated to pay, within (30)
days of Executive’s Notice of Termination without cause all Base Salary and Performance 
 

 8 

  
 Bonuses accrued, but not yet paid to Executive, and the Employer shall be
entitled to enforcement of the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in Section 17 hereof. Additionally, Executive shall have and retain those rights specified in Section 15.3 below. 
  
 15.3  In the event this Agreement is terminated with or without cause, and, if without cause whether by Executive or by the
Employer, all of Executive’s stock options including any options which have accrued, but not yet been issued to Executive (“Accrued Options”) and any unexercised portion of Stock Options, granted pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise, whether or not vested on the date of termination, may be exercised by Executive within thirty (30) days from the date of termination, at which time all such options that have not been so exercised shall expire; provided, however, that in
the case of Accrued Options, Executive shall have (30) days from the date of issuance of the options to exercise the same, and should Executive fail to exercise such right within thirty (30) days, the right to exercise shall expire. 

 
 16.  Death or Disability.    In the event of Executive’s
disability or death, Executive shall have all of the same rights as if he had been terminated “without cause” and in the case of disability Employer shall pay to Executive or in the case of death, Executive’s designated beneficiary,
or, if Executive has failed to designate a beneficiary to his estate, those amounts specified under Section 15.2 (a) and (b) above for a “without cause” termination, and Executive shall also have all of the benefits provided under 15.3
except that in the case of disability of death, all unvested option shall immediately vest, and the time for exercising the options shall be within three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of disability (as defined below) or death. In the
event of a change in control of the Employer after Executive’s death or disability as defined herein, Executive or Executive’s designated beneficiary or his estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the rights, payments and benefits
of Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 hereof. Employer may maintain insurance on Employer’s behalf to satisfy in whole or in part the obligations of Employer under this Section 16. 
  
 16.1  DISABILITY—means: 
  
 (i)  Solely due to injury of Sickness and for a consecutive period of ninety (90) days; 
 

 9 

  
 (a)  your ability to work is restricted, resulting in
the Loss of Earnings; or 
  
 (b)  you are unable to perform the substantial and material
duties of your regular occupation in which you were engaged just prior to the Disability; or 
  
 (c)  your state licensing board has restricted your ability to perform your occupation as a health care practitioner as a result of testing positive on a human immunodeficiency virus test; and 
  
 (d)  your Loss of Earnings is 20% or more of your Prior Earnings. 
  
 (ii)  You are receiving care from a Doctor which is appropriate for the condition causing your Disability. We
will waive this requirement when continued care would be of no benefit to you. If a disability is caused by more than one injury or Sickness, we will pay benefits as if the disability were caused by only one injury or sickness. 

 
 16.2  DOCTOR—means a medical practitioner who is legally licensed to practice under state law, and not
yourself, the Owner, or the Loss Payee. 
  
 16.3  EARNINGS—means income you earn for
labor or services performed. This includes salary, wages, fees, draws, commissions, and other compensation (excluding Stock Options) you receive. If you are self-employed, this is not income after deducting your normal or customary business
expenses. These expenses must be reasonable and must not exceed expenses before Disability began. They must be deductible for Federal Income Tax purposes. 
  
 16.4  Identifiable contributions for you to any tax qualified retirement, annuity, salary reduction, or deferred compensation plan, whether employer sponsored or individually owned, or to any
non-qualified deferred compensation plan are considered Earnings if they are: 
  
 (i)  Made
either by you or on your behalf; and 
  
 (ii)  Not waived by contract during your
Disability. 
  
 16.5  During any period Earnings: 
  

(i)  Will include all income for services performed during that period, whether or not received; but 
  
 (ii)  Will not include income for services performed prior to that period, regardless of when received.

 

 10 

  
  17.  Non-Competition and
