WHEREAS, on the Closing Date, the Sellers desire to transfer and sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from the Sellers, an aggregate 50.1% membership interest in the Company, upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties are entering into this Agreement in connection those certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreements, each dated as of the Signing Date, which contemplate the closing of certain other transactions on the Closing Date, by and among (i) Buyer, Parent, the “Physicians’ Representatives” identified therein, and the other Persons identified as “Sellers” therein with respect to membership interests in Elite Hospital Management LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“EHM”) (the “EHM MIPA”), (ii) Buyer, Parent, the “Physicians’ Representatives” identified therein, and the other Persons identified as “Sellers” therein with respect to membership interests in Houston Metro Ortho and Spine Surgery Center LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Metro”) (the “Metro MIPA”), and (iii) Buyer, Parent, the “Physicians’ Representatives” identified therein, and the other Persons identified as “Sellers” therein with respect to membership interests in Elite Sinus Spine and Ortho LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“River Oaks,” and together with the Company, EHM, and Metro, the “Management Companies”) (the “River Oaks MIPA,” and together with this Agreement, the EHM MIPA, and the Metro MIPA, the “Management Company MIPAs”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE, SALE, AND TRANSFER

1.1 Purchase, Sale, and Transfer of the Transferred Interests. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, each Seller shall transfer, sell, convey, and deliver to Buyer, free and clear of all liens, pledges, security interests, rights of first refusal, options, restrictions, encumbrances, and liabilities of any kind whatsoever (other than Permitted Liens), the Units (as defined in the Company Agreement) of each respective Seller set forth opposite such Seller’s name under the column titled “Transferred Interests” on Exhibit A, including all governance and financial rights associated with such Units (collectively, the “Transferred Interests”), which Transferred Interests collectively represent 50.1% of the profits, losses, and voting rights of the Company (except as otherwise provided in the Company Agreement), and Buyer shall, at the Closing, purchase and accept such Transferred Interests.

1.2 Purchase Price.

(a) Purchase Price. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall pay to the Sellers, in full consideration for the Transferred Interests, an aggregate amount, in cash, equal to $14,939,250.77 (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.2(b).

(b) Holdback.

(i) On the Closing Date, Buyer shall retain a portion of the Purchase Price equal to $621,226.33 (the “Holdback Amount”), to be held by Buyer in escrow to satisfy, at least in part, any amounts payable to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.3(e) or Section 10.1. Buyer shall hold the Holdback Amount in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.2(b). If Sellers become obligated (whether through mutual agreement with Buyer or otherwise finally determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) to provide an adjustment payment, indemnification, or another payment pursuant to, or in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement, Buyer, Elite Ambulatory Surgery Centers, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Elite”), and the Physicians’ Representatives shall execute a joint written acknowledgement, pursuant to which Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives confirm the amount in question and Buyer’s disbursement of the appropriate amounts from the Holdback Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) On the date that is one year after the Closing Date, Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives shall execute a joint written acknowledgement, pursuant to which Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives (A) confirm the balance of the Holdback Amount, (B) the aggregate amount of all Losses specified in any then-unresolved good faith claims for indemnification made by Buyer prior to such date in accordance with this Agreement (each, an “Unresolved Claim”), and (C) instruct Buyer to disburse as directed by Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives (for pro rata distribution to the Sellers in accordance with the Sellers’ Pro Rata Percentages) the balance of the Holdback Amount less the aggregate amount of all Unresolved Claims, which Unresolved Claims amount shall remain with the Buyer to be held in escrow pending resolution of such Unresolved Claims. If at any time any such Unresolved Claim shall be resolved, either by mutual agreement of Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives or pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives shall execute a joint written acknowledgement, pursuant to which Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives (1) confirm the amount being held in respect of such Unresolved Claim and (2) instruct Buyer to disburse the funds being held in respect of such Unresolved Claim in accordance with such agreement or court order (as applicable).

(i) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Compass Bank (the “Escrow Agent”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds $125,736.20 (the “Escrow Amount”) to be held and distributed pursuant to the terms of that certain Escrow Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date and in the form attached as Exhibit F, by and among Buyer, Elite, the Physicians’ Representatives, and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”). The amount held from time-to-time by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement is referred to in this Agreement as the “Escrow Fund.”

(ii) On the date that is one year after the Closing Date, Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse as directed by Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives (for pro rata distribution to the Sellers in accordance with the Sellers’ Pro Rata Percentages) the balance of the Escrow Fund then-remaining on deposit with the Escrow Agent less the Unresolved Claim Excess Amount, which Unresolved Claim Excess Amount shall remain on deposit with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. If at any time any Unresolved Claim shall be resolved, either by mutual agreement of Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives or pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse the funds being held in respect of such Unresolved Claim in accordance with such agreement or court order (as applicable). For purposes of this Section 1.2(c)(ii), “Unresolved Claim Excess Amount” means the amount (if any) by which the aggregate amount of all Losses specified in any Unresolved Claim exceeds the balance of the Holdback Amount.

1.3 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Promptly following Closing, Elite shall grant Buyer reasonable access to all books, records, and documents of Elite solely related to the Company’s operations prior to the Closing Date that Buyer may reasonably require in order to provide the Working Capital Statement under this Section 1.3(a) and to independently confirm the Closing Date Working Capital (including a reconciliation of the Company’s general ledger and bank statements and any other information and documents reasonably necessary for Buyer to calculate the Closing Date Working Capital). Buyer shall, within 90 days following Closing, prepare and deliver to the Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives a proposed final calculation (the “Working Capital Statement”) of the Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Working Capital”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Working Capital” means an amount equal to (x) the sum of the current assets of the Company (excluding cash but including net accounts receivable and prepaid expenses) minus (y) the sum of the current liabilities of the Company (including accrued employee benefits (e.g., paid time off and related Taxes), accounts payable, and accrued expenses), in each case calculated in the manner and on the basis consistent with the calculation of working capital in Schedule 1.3(a). FOR THE SAKE OF CLARIFICATION, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE COMPANY’S INVENTORIES, SUPPLIES, CURRENT PORTION OF LONG-TERM DEBT AND CURRENT PORTION OF CAPITAL LEASES SHALL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE CALCULATION OF WORKING CAPITAL.

(b) Upon request, Buyer shall promptly provide Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives with, and grant Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives reasonable access to, all books, records, and documents of the Company and Buyer that Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives may reasonably require in order to independently confirm the Closing Date Working Capital. If either Elite or the Physicians’ Representatives disagree with Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital, Elite or the Physicians’ Representatives shall, within 60 days after receipt of the Working Capital Statement, deliver a written notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Buyer setting forth Elite’s and the Physicians’

Representatives’ objections, in reasonable detail, to the Closing Date Working Capital. If an Objection Notice is not delivered within such time period, then the Closing Date Working Capital set forth in the Working Capital Statement delivered by Buyer shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

(c) If an Objection Notice is delivered within such 60-day period, Buyer, on the one hand, and Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives, on the other hand, shall, during the 30 days immediately following the receipt by Buyer of such Objection Notice, use reasonable efforts to reach agreement on all disputed items or amounts in order to determine the Closing Date Working Capital.

(i) If Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives do not obtain a final resolution within such 30-day period (or such longer period as Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives may mutually agree), Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives shall jointly retain an independent certified public accounting firm (which is not then-serving, nor has at any time within the prior 24-month period served, as an accountant, consultant, or advisor to the Company, Buyer, or any Seller (or any of Buyer’s or any Seller’s respective Affiliates)) mutually acceptable to Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to resolve any remaining disagreements (the “Disputed Items”). Buyer, Elite, and the Physicians’ Representatives shall direct the Independent Accounting Firm to render a determination as promptly as possible but in no event later than 60 days following retention of the Independent Accounting Firm, and the Parties and the Parties’ respective employees shall cooperate with the Independent Accounting Firm during the Independent Accounting Firm’s engagement.

(ii) Within 30 days immediately following the retention of the Independent Accounting Firm (the “Submission Period”), each of Elite, the Physicians’ Representatives, and Buyer shall submit to the Independent Accounting Firm Elite’s and the Physicians’ Representatives’, on one hand, and Buyer’s, on the other hand, respective positions with regard to the Disputed Items. During the 30-day period immediately following the Submission Period (the “Presentation Period”), Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives, on one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each be afforded an opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any materials relating to the determination of the Disputed Items and to discuss such matters with the Independent Accounting Firm. During the Submission Period and the Presentation Period, each of Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives, on one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall promptly provide each other and the Independent Accounting Firm with, and grant the Independent Accounting Firm and each other prompt access to, all personnel, books, records, and documents of the Company, Elite, or the Buyer that the Independent Accounting Firm may request to resolve the Disputed Items or as reasonably necessary to evidence or support Elite’s and the Physicians’ Representatives’, on one hand, and Buyer’s, on the other hand (as applicable) position regarding the Disputed Items, respectively.

(iii) In resolving any Disputed Item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any Disputed Item greater than the maximum value for such Disputed Item claimed by either Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives, on one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, or less than the minimum value of such Disputed Item claimed by either Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives, on one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

(iv) The Closing Date Working Capital, as deemed conclusive and binding pursuant to Section 1.3(b) or this Section 1.3(c) (in either case, the “Final Closing Date Working Capital”), shall be final and binding on the Parties, and the date on which such final determination occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Working Capital Determination Date.” The fees, costs, and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm engaged pursuant to this Section 1.3(c) shall be borne by (1) Buyer in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the Disputed Items resolved in favor of Elite and the Physicians’

Representatives (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all such Disputed Items so-submitted and (2) the Sellers in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the Disputed Items resolved in favor of Buyer (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all such Disputed Items so-submitted.

(d) If the Final Closing Date Working Capital is greater than $811,169 (the “Target Working Capital”), then, within 10 days following the Working Capital Determination Date, Buyer shall pay (not from the Holdback Amount but as a separate payment) as directed by Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives (for pro rata distribution to the Sellers in accordance with the Sellers’ Pro Rata Percentages) an amount equal to 50.1% of the amount by which the Final Closing Date Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives.

(e) If the Final Closing Date Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, the Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable for an amount equal to 50.1% of the amount by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Final Closing Date Working Capital, and such amount shall be deducted from the Holdback Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holdback Amount shall be the sole source of payment for any such difference.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.3(d) or Section 1.3(e), neither Buyer nor the Sellers shall have any obligation to pay any amounts to any other Party pursuant to Section 1.3(d) or Section 1.3(e) if the amount otherwise payable by either Buyer or the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.3(d) or Section 1.3(e) does not exceed $90,000 (the “Working Capital Basket”); provided, however, that, for the purposes of clarity, if the amount otherwise payable by either Buyer or the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.3(d) or Section 1.3(e) does exceed the Working Capital Basket, Buyer or the Sellers (as applicable) shall be obligated to pay the other Party or Parties (as applicable) the entire amount otherwise payable pursuant thereto, including the full amount of the Working Capital Basket.

(g) For the purposes of this Agreement, the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 1.2(a) shall be (i) increased by the amount, if any, payable by Buyer to Sellers pursuant to Section 1.3(d) and (ii) decreased by the amount, if any, payable by the Sellers to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.3(e).

Each of Buyer and Parent has timely filed all reports, returns, data, and other information required by all governmental authorities that control, directly or indirectly, any of Buyer’s or Parent’s (as applicable) activities. No such report or return has been materially inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading.

Buyer has been advised by and, other than with respect to Seller’s representations and warranties in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV, Buyer has relied solely on, Buyer’s own expertise and legal, Tax, environmental, and other professional counsel concerning this Agreement, each of the other documents contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and not on any comments, statements, projections, or other material made or given by Sellers, the Company, any of the Sellers’ or the Company’s respective Affiliates, or any representative, consultant, or advisor of the Company, the Sellers, or any of the Company’s or the Seller’s respective Affiliates. Buyer acknowledges and affirms that on or prior to Closing, Buyer shall have completed Buyer’s independent investigation, verification, analysis, and evaluation of the Company and made all such reviews and inspections

of the Company as Buyer has deemed necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder; provided, however, any such investigation, verification, analysis or evaluation (or absence thereof) shall not reduce, modify, release, or waive any of Sellers’ obligations for any Losses hereunder.

5.9 No Other Representations or Warranties. The express representations of Buyer set forth in this Agreement are exclusive and in lieu of any and all other representations or warranties, express, statutory or implied.

ARTICLE VI
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

6.1 Covenant Not to Compete.

(a) Other than with respect to those certain projects listed on Exhibit B, each Extended Seller Party agrees that, for a period of two years following the Closing Date with respect to the covenants set forth in clause (i) and clause (ii) below and for a period of one year following the Closing Date with respect to the covenants set forth in clause (iii) below (the “Restricted Period”), neither such Extended Seller Party nor any Affiliate of such Extended Seller Party shall (i) serve as an officer, director, or employee or consultant of, or hold or acquire any direct or indirect ownership interest in, or manage, lease, develop, or otherwise have any financial interest (directly or indirectly, including through a corporation, partnership, trust, or other entity in which such Extended Seller Party owns or has a beneficial interest, or through such Extended Seller Party’s spouse or children under the age of 25) in any Person that develops, owns, manages, leases, or provides property to a Person that performs outpatient surgery, including an ambulatory surgery center, hospital, or physician practice that provides outpatient surgery services at such Person’s offices or any practice entity affiliated with a Competing Business (defined below) (e.g., a “friendly PC” or a practice organized under Section 5.01(a) of the Texas Medical Practices Act, Section 162 of the Texas Occupations Code, or any equivalent, predecessor, or successor statute or rule) (a “Competing Business”), within the Restricted Area; (ii) directly or indirectly solicit the members of any Management Company, to, directly or indirectly, invest in, manage, become employed by, recruit, lend money to, or act as an agent or consultant to, any Competing Business within the Restricted Area; or (iii) directly or indirectly solicit any individuals who are or were employed by any Management Company during the six-month period prior to the Closing Date to become employed by any Competing Business; provided, however, that no Extended Seller Party shall be prevented from (A) maintaining staff privileges at any healthcare facility, (B) providing professional surgical services and earning a professional fee thereon (but not acting as an owner or having a compensation or financial relationship) in any other ambulatory surgical center or hospital, (C) performing any in-office procedures under local anesthesia that does not require the presence of an anesthesiologist or a certified registered nurse anesthetist, or (D) owning less than 1% of the voting stock of a publicly-held company that owns or operates one or more healthcare facilities. This restriction shall not prohibit an Extended Seller Party from hiring any employee of any Management Company if the employee of such Management Company responds to an advertisement to the general public or is approached by a third-party employee-search firm (so long as the employee-search firm was not directed to do so by a Seller). A breach of the covenants in this Section 6.1 might result in material damages to the Company and Buyer and shall entitle Buyer to recover damages in addition to the other remedies and rights provided in this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.1, “Restricted Area” means (x) with respect to each Seller other than Elite, within seven miles of the real

property premises leased, as of the Closing Date, to the Company and (y) with respect to Elite, within five miles of the real property premises leased, as of the Closing Date, to the Company.

(b) Each Extended Seller Party acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Section 6.1(a) are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and that any violation of such restrictions might result in irreparable injury to the Company and Buyer. In addition to any other remedy or remedies to which Buyer may be entitled in law or in equity, Buyer shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief for a violation or threatened violation of Section 6.1(a) without having to prove actual damages or to post a bond, and Buyer shall also be entitled to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such violation. Each Extended Seller Party hereby waives any objections on the grounds of improper jurisdiction or venue to the commencement of an action in the state of Texas and agrees that effective service of process may be made upon such Extended Seller Party by mail under the provisions of Section 11.6.

(c) If a court should hold that the restrictions set forth in Section 6.1(a) are unenforceable because they are unreasonable, then to the extent permitted by law, the court may prescribe the longest duration for the Restricted Period or the largest radius or area for the Restricted Area that is reasonable and the Parties shall accept such determination subject to the Parties’ respective rights of appeal. Nothing in this Section 6.1(c) shall be construed as prohibiting Buyer from pursuing any other remedy or remedies available for such breach or threatened breach, including recovery of damages from a breaching Seller, or injunctive relief.

(d) If an Extended Seller Party is in violation of Section 6.1(a) at any time, then the Restricted Period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period during which said violation or violations occurred. If Buyer seeks injunctive relief from said violation in court, then the running of the Restricted Period shall be suspended during the pendency of said proceeding, including all appeals; provided Buyer ultimately prevails in such court as to such violation. This suspension shall cease upon the entry of a final judgment in the matter, not subject to further appeal.

(e) For purposes of this Section 6.1, “Extended Seller Party” means (i) each Seller, (ii) with respect to each Seller that is an entity, each equity owner of such Seller, and (iii) with respect to The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. 2016 Irrevocable Trust, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, M.D. and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, M.D.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Buyer breaches any of Buyer’s material obligations under the Elite Note (as defined in the Metro MIPA), Section 6.4, or Section 6.4 of any of the Management Company MIPAs, Elite shall automatically be released from, and cease to have any obligations under, this Section 6.1. For clarity and the avoidance of doubt, non-payment of amounts due and owing or failure to convert with respect to the Elite Note, Section 6.4, or Section 6.4 of any of the Management Company MIPAs shall be a breach of a material obligation (although the foregoing are illustrative only and are not intended to be an exhaustive list of breaches of material obligations).

6.2 Waiver pursuant to Company Agreement. Each Seller hereby waives all rights of first refusal, preemptive rights, and similar rights of the Sellers (including those set forth in the Company Agreement) that would prevent the transfer of the Transferred Interests from Sellers to Buyer.

6.3 Cooperation Regarding Commenced Proceedings. Buyer agrees to use its reasonable commercial efforts to cooperate with Sellers in any Commenced Proceeding with respect to Buyer’s determination of the Purchase Price.

6.4 Purchase, Sale, and Transfer of the Remaining Elite Units.

(a) On or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Remaining Elite Units Closing Date”), Elite shall transfer, sell, convey, and deliver to Buyer, free and clear of all liens, pledges, security interests, rights of first refusal, options, restrictions, encumbrances, and liabilities of any kind whatsoever (other than Permitted Liens), 2.4750 Units (as defined in the Company Agreement), including all governance and financial rights associated with such Units (collectively, the “Remaining Elite Units”), and Buyer shall, on the Remaining Elite Units Closing Date, purchase and accept the Remaining Elite Units.

(b) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by, and described in, this Section 6.4 (the “Remaining Elite Units Closing”) shall take place at such location as may be mutually agreed-to by Buyer and Elite (or remotely via signed counterparts) at 10:00 a.m. on the Remaining Elite Units Closing Date. The Remaining Elite Units Closing shall be effective as of 11:59:59 p.m., on the Remaining Elite Units Closing Date, and Buyer and Elite agree to acknowledge and use such effective time for all purposes, including for accounting and Tax reporting purposes.

(c) At the Remaining Elite Units Closing, (i) Buyer shall pay to Elite, in full consideration for the Remaining Elite Units, an aggregate amount (the “Remaining Elite Units Purchase Price”), in cash or in the form of Parent Capital Stock (as set forth in Section 6.4(f)), equal to the product of (x) 2.4750 multiplied by (y) the Per Unit Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Elite and (ii) Elite shall deliver to Buyer a Transferred Interest Assignment for the Remaining Elite Units, dated as of the Remaining Elite Units Closing Date, duly executed by Elite.

(d) For purposes of this Section 6.4, “Per Unit Purchase Price” means the quotient of (x) the product of (i) the Purchase Price (as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.3(g)) multiplied by (ii) Elite’s Pro Rata Percentage, divided by (y) the aggregate number of Elite’s Units sold at the Closing. For clarity and purely as an example, if the Purchase Price is not adjusted pursuant Section 1.3(g), the Per Unit Purchase Price would be calculated as follows: The quotient of (x) the product of (i) $14,939,250.77 multiplied by (ii) 25%, divided by (y) 12.5250, which would result in Per Unit Purchase Price of $298,188.64 and an aggregate purchase price payable at the Remaining Elite Units Closing of $738,016.88.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to the Remaining Elite Units Closing Date Parent consummates any transaction in which Parent issues and sells shares of Parent’s capital stock in exchange for gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 (a “Qualified Financing Transaction”), the Remaining Elite Units Closing shall occur simultaneous with the closing of the Qualified Financing Transaction.

(f) At the Remaining Elite Units Closing, Buyer shall have the option, exercisable in Buyer’s discretion, to elect to pay the Remaining Elite Units Purchase Price in cash or in the form of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Qualifying Common Stock. Upon such election, the number of shares of Qualifying Common Stock to be issued to Elite at the Remaining Elite Units Closing shall be the quotient of (x) the Remaining Elite Units Purchase Price divided by (y) the then current Common Stock Share Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Elite, in no event shall Elite be issued shares of Qualifying Common Stock pursuant to this Section 6.4 if such shares of Qualifying Common Stock, when added to the sum of (i) the number of shares of Qualifying Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Act) by Elite plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to Elite upon an event of default under the Elite Note (based on the then-current Common Stock Share Price), would exceed 4.99% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Remaining Elite Units Closing Date, as determined

in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the 1934 Act. If, due to the foregoing, Buyer is unable to satisfy the entire amount of the Elite Remaining Units Purchase Price by the delivery of shares of Qualifying Common Stock, Buyer shall pay the balance of the Elite Remaining Units Purchase Price in cash.

(g) For purposes of this Section 6.4:

(i) “Common Stock” means Parent’s common stock, having no par value.

(ii) “Common Stock Share Price” means the lesser of (A) the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Remaining Elite Units Closing Date or (B) the average closing bid price of the Common Stock over the ten-Trading Day period immediately prior to the Remaining Elite Units Closing Date.

(iii) “Qualifying Common Stock” means Common Stock that is (A) subject to an effective initial registration statement under the Securities Act to permit the public resale of such shares of Common Stock from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 of the Securities Act (or any similar provision adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission then in effect) and (B) otherwise without volume, manner-of-sale, or other similar transfer or sale restrictions.

(iv) “Trading Day” means (A) any day on which shares of Common Stock are listed or quoted and traded on its primary trading market, (B) if shares of Common Stock are not then listed or quoted and traded on any trading market, then a day on which trading occurs on The New York Stock Exchange LLC (or any successor thereto), or (C) if trading ceases to occur on The New York Stock Exchange LLC (or any successor thereto), any Business Day.

6.5 Acknowledgement of Declared Distribution. Buyer acknowledges that, prior to the Closing, the Company declared a cash distribution to the Company’s then-current Members (as defined in the Company Agreement) in an aggregate amount equal to $678,447.84 (the “Pre-Closing Distribution”). Buyer shall cause the Company to effect the Pre-Closing Distribution in accordance with that certain Written Consent of the Managers, dated as of November 15, 2017.

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

10.1 Indemnification by the Sellers; Limitation of Liability. From and after the Closing:

(a) Each Seller shall individually (not jointly) indemnify, defend, and hold Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates (including the Company) and Buyer’s and Buyer’s Affiliates’ respective successors and assigns harmless from and against any claim, demand, cause of action, judgment, loss, liability, cost, or other expense whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (each such claim, demand, cause of action, judgment, loss, liability, cost, or other expense is referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Loss” and collectively as “Losses”) arising out of, or relating to, (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by such Seller in ARTICLE III or (ii) any breach of any covenant to be performed or observed by such Seller under this Agreement;

(b) The Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend, and hold Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates (including the Company) and Buyer’s and Buyer’s Affiliates’ respective successors and assigns harmless from and against any Loss arising out of, or relating to, (i) any breach of any representation

or warranty made by the Sellers in ARTICLE IV, (ii) any Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities, and (iii) any Closing Date Company Debt, in each case except to the extent such liability is reflected in the Final Closing Date Working Capital.

10.2 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold each Seller harmless from and against any Loss arising out of, or relating to, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or (b) any breach of any covenant to be performed or observed by Buyer under this Agreement.

10.3 Certification of Losses.

(a) If a Person that has the right to be indemnified, defended, or held harmless pursuant to this ARTICLE X (the “Determining Party”) is of the opinion that any Loss has occurred (a “Claim”), the Determining Party shall, by written notice (a “Claim Notice”), promptly notify the Party that has agreed to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless such Determining Party pursuant to this ARTICLE X (in the case of notice to the Sellers, other than Elite or the Physicians’ Representatives) (the “Indemnifying Party”), and each such Claim Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the circumstances and amount, if known, of such asserted Loss. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Seller shall be liable with respect to any claim pursuant to Section 10.1 and Buyer shall not be liable with respect to any claim pursuant to Section 10.2 unless a Claim Notice is delivered to Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives or Buyer, as the case may be, within the applicable survival periods set forth in Section 10.6.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party objects to any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice of such objection to the Determining Party within 60 days after the date of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the applicable Claim Notice and shall state the basis for such objection and (if reasonably practicable) indicate the specific amount of such Claim that is in dispute (such notice, if timely given, should be referred to as a “Counter Notice”). If no Counter Notice is received by the Determining Party within such 60-day period, (i) such Claim shall be allowed and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly disburse to the Determining Party the amount of such Claim, to the extent that the Determining Party is entitled to be indemnified under this ARTICLE X.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party delivers a Counter Notice, the Determining Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt to resolve the dispute and, if such parties are able to do so and agree that any part of the Claim should be paid, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly disburse to the Determining Party the agreed upon amount of such Claim, to the extent that the Determining Party is entitled to be indemnified under this ARTICLE X.

(d) If the Determining Party and the Indemnifying Party are unable informally to resolve a disputed Claim within 20 days after the date of the Determining Party’s receipt of a Counter Notice regarding such disputed Claim (or a later date specified by the Determining Party and the Indemnifying Party in writing if the Determining Party and the Indemnifying Party so choose to extend such 20-day period) (such actual period, the “Negotiation Period”), then the following shall apply:

(i) Within five Business Days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Determining Party the amount of such Claim, if any, that the Parties agree in writing is not in dispute.

(ii) If the Determining Party and the Indemnifying Party agree in writing within 15 days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period (or a later date specified by the Determining Party

and the Indemnifying Party in writing if the Determining Party and the Indemnifying Party so choose to extend such 15-day period), that the dispute involves financial matters, such Claim shall be referred to, and determined by, an Independent Accounting Firm mutually acceptable to the Determining Party and the Indemnifying Party. The resolution of such disputed Claim by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the Determining Party and the Indemnifying Party as to financial matters but shall not extend to any non-financial interpretation of such Claim unless the Determining Party and the Indemnifying Party shall mutually agree in writing to the contrary.

(iii) If the disputed Claim does not involve financial matters, or if the Determining Party and the Indemnifying Party are unable to agree in writing whether such disputed Claim involves financial matters or to what extent such disputed Claim involves financial matters within 15 days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period (or a later date specified by the Determining Party and the Indemnifying Party in writing if the Determining Party and the Indemnifying Party so choose to extend such 15-day period), then such disputed Claim shall be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.13.

(iv) During the entire dispute resolution process described in this Section 10.3 (commencing with the delivery of the Claim Notice and until the final determination or award is rendered), Buyer shall (and shall cause the Company to) promptly provide Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives with, and grant prompt access to, all personnel, books, records, and documents of the Company that Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives may request as reasonably necessary to (A) investigate the Claim and (B) evidence or support the Sellers’ position regarding the Claim and any Counter Notice.

10.4 Third Party Claims.

(a) In the event any claim is made, suit is brought, or Tax audit or other proceeding is instituted by a third party against a Party or a Person that has a right to be indemnified, defended, or held harmless under this ARTICLE X (the “Recipient Party”) that involves or appears reasonably likely to involve a Loss (a “Third Party Claim”), the Recipient Party shall promptly after receipt of notice of any such Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim. The failure of the Recipient Party to promptly provide notice to the Indemnifying Party of a Third Party Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this ARTICLE X with respect to such Third Party Claim unless, and only to the extent, that the failure by the Recipient Party to provide such notice to the Indemnifying Party materially adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right (at the Indemnifying Party’s expense) to defend the Recipient Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Recipient Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Recipient Party in writing within 30 days after the Recipient Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party shall, to the fullest extent required by this ARTICLE X indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Recipient Party from and against any Loss which the Recipient Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, or relating to, the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Recipient Party with an officer’s or other certificate as evidence reasonably acceptable to the Recipient Party that the Indemnifying Party shall have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this this ARTICLE X, and (iii) the Third Party Claim does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impact the Recipient Party or the Recipient Party’s Affiliates.

(c) The Recipient Party shall cooperate, to the extent reasonable, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim as requested by the Indemnifying Party, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention and the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and (ii) the making available of employees or others within the reasonable control of the Recipient Party on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explaining any material provided under this Section 10.4(c).

(d) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 10.4, (i) the Recipient Party may retain separate counsel at the Recipient Party’s sole cost and expense to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Recipient 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 written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, 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 written consent of the Recipient Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) unless such judgment or settlement provides solely for payment of money that is paid by the Indemnifying Party and a complete release of the Recipient Party from the Third Party Claim is obtained.

(e) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend or fails to properly defend the Recipient Party against a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 10.4, (i) the Recipient 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 the Recipient Party may deem reasonably appropriate (provided that, notwithstanding clause (ii) below, the Recipient Party shall not, except at the Recipient Party’s own cost, make any settlement with respect to any such Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible for any Loss that the Recipient Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by, the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent required by this ARTICLE X.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in Sections 10.4(a) or 10.4(b) to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Sellers are deemed to have notice of all Third Party Claims included as part of any Proceedings set forth on Schedule 10.4(f) (the “Commenced Proceedings”), and (ii) the Sellers shall, to the fullest extent required by this ARTICLE X, jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any Loss which the Buyer Indemnified Parties may suffer resulting from, arising out of or relating to the Commenced Proceedings; provided, however, that no Seller shall have any indemnification obligation under this Section 10.4(f) for any Loss which the Buyer Indemnified Parties (other than the Company) may suffer resulting from, arising out of or relating to the Commenced Proceedings to the extent such Loss is incurred by Buyer prior to the Closing or is otherwise caused by Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates’ (other than the Company) pre-Closing actions. Without limiting the foregoing, (x) the Sellers shall have the sole and exclusive right (at the Sellers’ expense) to prosecute and defend the Commenced Proceedings with counsel of the Sellers’ choice and to make all decisions with respect the Commenced Proceedings and (y) Buyer agrees not to make any claim or bring any suit, audit, or other proceeding against any Seller or the Physicians’ Representatives in relation to the prosecution, defense, or outcome of the Commenced Proceedings except in the event of gross negligence attributable to actions or omissions on or after the Closing Date, fraud, or willful misconduct by the Seller or the Physicians’ Representatives, respectively. Buyer shall cooperate, to the extent reasonable, in the defense or prosecution of any Commenced Proceeding as requested by the Sellers, with such cooperation to include (1) the retention and the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any Commenced Proceeding and (2) the making available of employees or others within the reasonable control of Buyer or the Company

on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explaining any material reasonably related to such Commenced Proceedings. While Buyer shall not be entitled to any information regarding the Commenced Proceedings (except to the extent reasonably necessary for Buyer to comply with the foregoing sentence or applicable law), if Buyer becomes aware of any information regarding the Commenced Proceedings, then Buyer shall treat such information as confidential information of the Sellers and shall not use such information in any manner nor disclose such information to any Person. In addition, the Parties further agree that, to the extent there is any payment made to the Company (of any kind, including payments for accounts receivable or settlement payments) in connection with any Commenced Proceeding, such payment shall be to the sole and exclusive benefit of the Sellers, and Buyer shall not be entitled to share in any such payment amount. Upon receipt by the Company, the Company shall promptly distribute all such payment amounts as directed by Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives (for pro rata distribution to the Sellers in accordance with the percentages set forth on Schedule 10.4(f)).

10.5 Limitation of Damages.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE X, no Seller shall have any indemnification obligation under Section 10.1(a) or Section 10.1(b)(i) until all Losses exceed, in the aggregate, $74,696 (the “Threshold Amount”), after which time the entire amount of such Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount shall be indemnifiable as provided by this ARTICLE X; provided, however, that Losses arising from, or related to, breaches of the Fundamental Representations shall not be subject to the Threshold Amount.

(b) The liability of Sellers for Losses for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1(a) or Section 10.1(b)(i) shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to $1,493,925 (the “Indemnity Cap”), and individually with respect to a Seller, shall not exceed an amount equal to such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the applicable Losses; provided, however, that Losses arising from, or related to, breaches of the (i) Fundamental Representations or (ii) representations that are not Fundamental Representations but where the breach is attributable, or related, to Fraud shall not be subject to the Indemnity Cap or other limitations set forth in this Section 10.5(b).

(c) The liability of a Seller for Losses for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1(a) that are attributable to a breach of the (i) Fundamental Representations or (ii) representations that are not Fundamental Representations but where the breach is attributable, or related, to such Seller’s Fraud, shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (x) such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Purchase Price plus (y) the cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, actually incurred by Buyer in enforcing such indemnity provisions against such Seller (“Enforcement Costs”).

(d) The liability of Sellers for Losses for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1(b)(i) that are attributable to a breach of the (i) Fundamental Representations or (ii) representations that are not Fundamental Representations but where the breach is attributable, or related, to Fraud, shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (x) the Purchase Price plus (y) Enforcement Costs, and individually with respect to a Seller, shall not exceed an amount equal to such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the applicable Losses and Enforcement Costs.

(e) The liability of each Seller for Losses for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1(b)(ii), Section 10.1(b)(iii), or Section 11.14 shall not exceed an amount equal to such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage of the applicable Losses. The liability of each Seller for Losses for which Buyer is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.4(f) shall not exceed an amount equal to such Seller’s pro rata share (in accordance with the percentages set forth on Schedule 10.4(f)) of the applicable Losses.

(f) In calculating amounts payable to any Party under this ARTICLE X the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be determined (i) without duplication of any other Losses for which an indemnification claim has been made under any other representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement, (ii) net of any amounts actually recovered by such Party (or any of such Party’s Affiliates) under insurance policies or under any third-party contracts (“Collateral Sources”) with respect to such Losses (net of any increases in premiums resulting therefrom), and (iii) net of any Tax benefit arising from the incurrence or payment of such Loss.

(g) If any Indemnifying Party makes an indemnification payment with respect to any Loss in accordance with this this ARTICLE X, then such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all related rights and remedies of the indemnified Party against or with respect to any third parties (including any Person threatening or filing any cause of action) or under any Collateral Source against or with respect to such Loss, except to the extent such subrogation is not permitted under the terms of such Collateral Source or under applicable law. Promptly following such Indemnifying Party’s request, the applicable indemnified Party shall use such Party’s commercially reasonable efforts to take all reasonably necessary, proper, or desirable actions (including the execution and delivery of any document reasonably requested) to accomplish the foregoing; provided, however, that in no event shall an indemnified Party be required to incur material costs or expenses in order to do so.

(h) Each Party seeking indemnification pursuant to this shall take, and Buyer shall (as applicable) cause the Company to take, commercially reasonable steps to mitigate Losses after becoming aware of a Loss that is indemnifiable pursuant to this ARTICLE X.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the term “Losses” shall not include, and no Indemnifying Party shall incur, any liability or obligation to any other Party pursuant to this ARTICLE X for any punitive, special, exemplary, or consequential damages (except to the extent awarded to a third party pursuant to a Third Party Claim).

(j) The Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer pursuant to this ARTICLE X for breaches of representations and warranties (including Fundamental Representations) to the extent the subject matter of which was resolved pursuant to Section 1.3.

(k) In calculating amounts payable to any Party under this ARTICLE X, the amount of any indemnified Losses resulting from an inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement shall be determined without regard to any materiality, material adverse effect, or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

10.6 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and any investigation made by, or on behalf of, any Party for a period of 12 months from the Closing, except that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 (Authority), 3.2 (Binding Effect), 3.3 (Title to Membership Interests), 3.4 (No Violations), 3.6 (No Brokers), 3.7 (Ownership of Elite), 4.2 (Organization and Ownership of the Company), 5.1 (Organization, Corporate Power and Qualification), 5.2 (Corporate Authority), 5.3 (Binding Effect), 5.4 No Violations), 5.5 (No Brokers), 5.6 (Investment Representations), and 5.8 (Independent Evaluation) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive until the date that is 60 days following the expiration of the longest applicable statute of limitations.

10.7 Offset Against Future Distributions. Buyer and the Sellers hereby acknowledge and agree that, to the extent any Party fails to satisfy such Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement,

the Company shall (following five Business Days’ written notice and opportunity to cure) offset such Party’s cash distributions from the Company, as contemplated under the terms of the Amended and Restated Company Agreement, and pay the amount so offset to the Party entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE X.

10.8 Recoupment from the Holdback Amount and the Escrow Fund; Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Any indemnification to which Buyer is entitled under this Agreement shall be satisfied first by recouping all such Loss first from the then-remaining balance of the Holdback Amount and second from the then remaining balance of the Escrow Fund, each in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (as applicable).

(b) Other than in the case of Fraud, recovery pursuant to this ARTICLE X shall constitute the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy and recourse for Losses relating to, or arising out of, (directly or indirectly) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, and each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any and all rights, claims, and causes of action such Party may have against another Party relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement arising under, or based upon, any applicable law; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to deny any Party equitable remedies (including injunctive relief or specific performance) when any such remedy is otherwise available under this Agreement.

11.14 Tax Matters.

(a) For any taxable period of the Company that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), Buyer shall timely prepare and file with the appropriate U.S. or non U.S. federal, national, state, provincial, county, or municipal or other local government, any subdivision, agency, commission, or authority thereof, or any quasi-governmental body exercising any taxing authority or any other authority exercising Tax regulatory authority (each, a “Tax Authority”) all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company, and such Tax Returns shall be prepared reasonably consistently with past practices

of the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable Tax law. For any taxable period of the Company that ends on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), Elite shall timely prepare reasonably consistent with past practices of the Company, unless otherwise required by applicable Tax law, and provide to the Company (after review and consent of the Physician’s Representative) for filing with the appropriate Tax Authority all Tax Returns required to be filed on or after the Closing Date.

(b) The Sellers shall be solely responsible, jointly and severally, for all of the following Taxes (“Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities”): the excess of (i) the sum of (a) all Taxes imposed upon the Company with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and (b) with respect to Straddle Periods, all Taxes imposed upon the Company which are allocable, pursuant to Section 11.14(c), to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, over (ii) the aggregate amount of Taxes described in clauses (a) and (b) of this sentence that are reflected in the Final Closing Date Working Capital. The Sellers shall pay to Buyer on or before the date which is three Business Days before the due date of each applicable Tax Return (after giving effect to any valid extensions), the amount of the Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities for which the Sellers are responsible as determined herein, which funds Buyer shall timely remit to the appropriate Tax Authority.

(i) The Company shall be solely responsible for all Taxes of, or payable by, the Company that do not constitute Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities, including, in the case of Taxes with respect to a Straddle Period, all Taxes which are allocable, pursuant to Section 11.14(c), to the portion of such taxable year or period commencing after the Closing Date.

(ii) At least 30 days prior to the date on which each such Tax Return described in Section 11.14(a) is to be filed, including extensions obtained (or, in the case of a non-income or non-franchise Tax Return, a reasonable number of days before the filing due date), (i) Elite shall submit a copy of each Tax Return described in the second sentence of this Section 11.14(a) to Buyer and the Physicians’ Representatives for Buyer’s and the Physicians’ Representatives review and consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) Buyer shall submit a copy of each Tax Return described in the first sentence of Section 11.14(a) to Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives for Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives’ review and consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each Party responsible for filing Tax Returns under Section 11.14(a) shall properly file such Tax Return with the applicable Taxing Authority, and promptly provide a copy of the final Tax Return to the other Parties.

(c) If the Company is permitted but not required under applicable law to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, Buyer and the Sellers shall so treat the Closing Date. Where such treatment is not permitted, then in the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period of the Company, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall:

(i) In the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income, receipts, employment, or withholding or (B) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable year ended on the Closing Date based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date (except that (x) solely for purposes of determining the marginal Tax rate applicable to income or receipts during such period in a jurisdiction in which such Tax rate depends upon the amount or level of income or receipts, annualized income, or receipts may be taken into account if appropriate for an equitable sharing of such Taxes and (y) exemptions, allowances, and deductions that are otherwise calculated on an annual basis shall be apportioned on a daily basis); and

(ii) In the case of Taxes not described in Section 11.14(c)(i) that are imposed on a periodic basis and measured by the amount, value or level of any item, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.

(d) The Sellers, the Physicians’ Representatives, the Company, and Buyer shall fully cooperate to the extent reasonably requested, and shall cause the Parties’ respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors, and other representatives to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns, including maintaining and making available to each other all records reasonably necessary in connection with Taxes and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods relating to Taxes. Buyer and the Sellers recognize that the Sellers, Buyer, and their respective Affiliates shall need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information with respect to the Company to the extent such records and information pertain to events occurring prior to the Closing Date; therefore, the Sellers and Buyer shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company to, (i) use their best efforts to retain and maintain such records for a period of seven years from the Closing Date and to give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, the Sellers or the Company, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records, and (ii) to allow the Sellers, Buyer, and their respective agents and other representatives (and agents or other representatives of any of their respective Affiliates), at times and dates mutually acceptable to the Parties, to inspect, review and make copies of such records as the requesting Party may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate from time to time, such activities to be conducted during normal business hours and at the requesting party’s expense. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, neither of Buyer nor the Company (nor any transferee) shall file or amend or cause the filing or amendment of, a Tax Return of the Company, change an annual accounting period, adopt or change any accounting method, or file or amend any Tax election concerning the Company, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, or otherwise take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax Liability or reducing Tax refunds or similar Tax benefits of the Company or a Seller in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) Except to the extent reflected in the Final Closing Date Working Capital, the amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits, or offsets of Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or that portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Sellers. Buyer shall permit Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives to control the prosecution of any such claim relating solely to one or more Pre-Closing Tax Periods and shall cause the Company to cooperate as reasonably necessary for the Sellers to prosecute such refund claim. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of the Company for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date or that portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Company’s post-Closing members. Each Party shall forward, and shall cause its Affiliates to forward, to the Party entitled pursuant to this Section 11.14(e) to receive the amount or economic benefit of a refund, credit or offset to Tax, the amount of such refund, or the economic benefit of such credit or offset to Tax, within 15 days after such refund is received or after such credit or offset is allowed or applied against other Tax liability, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the control of the prosecution of a claim for refund of Taxes paid pursuant to a deficiency assessed subsequent to the Closing Date as a result of an audit shall be governed by the provisions of Section 11.14(f).

(f) If any Tax Authority asserts a claim, makes an assessment, or otherwise disputes or affects the Tax reporting position of the Company for any Tax Return for a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or that portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, Buyer shall, within 20 days following receipt by Buyer or the Company of notice thereof, provide written notice thereof to the Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives. Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives shall have the right to represent and control the interests of the Company in any Tax audit or administrative or court action, suit, claim, investigation, review or other judicial or administrative proceeding, at law or in equity, before or by any governmental entity or arbitration panel (a “Tax Contest”) relating to taxable periods of the Company that begin before the Closing Date and end on or before the Closing Date and to employ counsel of Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives’ choice; provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s own expense, to participate in and consult with Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives regarding any such Tax Contest. Buyer shall have the right to represent and control the interests of the Company in any Tax Contest relating to a Straddle Period and to employ counsel of Buyer’s choice; provided, however, that (i) Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives shall have the right, at Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives’ own expense, to participate in and consult with Buyer regarding any such Tax Contest and (ii) any settlement or other disposition of any such Tax Contest may only be with the prior written consent of the Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(g) Elite (with the consent of the Physicians’ Representatives) shall be responsible for preparing and filing any amended Tax Returns for taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing Date, that are required as a result of examination adjustments made by Tax Authorities for such taxable years as finally determined. For those jurisdictions in which separate Tax Returns are filed by the Company, any required copies of any such amended Tax Return shall be furnished to Buyer for review, comment and filing at least 30 days prior to filing such Tax Returns.

(h) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Parties agree that the transaction shall be treated as a sale of partnership interests under the Code. Buyer shall provide Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives with an allocation of the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, plus any other items that are required for federal income Tax purposes to be treated as consideration for the purchase of the Company’s assets among the undivided 50.1% of the assets of the Company for purposes of Section 751 of the Code based upon the relative fair market values thereof in accordance with the methodology set forth on Exhibit C and the statement required to be filed under Section 1.751-1(a)(3) U.S. Treasury Regulations and for purposes of Section 755 of the Code (the “Allocation”). Within 30 days following the Working Capital Determination Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives for Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives’ prompt review and comment, the draft Allocation and all supporting schedules for such Allocation. The Physicians’ Representatives shall have 30 days after the receipt of the draft Allocation to propose in good faith any changes to Buyer’s draft. If Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives do not object to the draft Allocation, such draft Allocation shall become final. Buyer, Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives shall reasonably cooperate to promptly resolve any disputes with respect to the draft Allocation and, upon Buyer, Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives finalizing the draft Allocation in accordance with the foregoing, the draft Allocation shall constitute the “Final Allocation Schedule.” Buyer, Elite and the Physicians’ Representatives shall update the Final Allocation Schedule to reflect any adjustment to the consideration paid for the Transferred Interests pursuant to this Agreement.

Neither the Physicians’ Representatives nor any agent employed by the Physicians’ Representatives shall incur any liability to any Physician Seller relating to the performance of its duties as authorized under this Agreement except for actions or omissions constituting fraud of the Physicians’ Representatives in connection therewith. The Physicians’ Representatives shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Seller, except in respect of amounts actually received by the Physicians’ Representatives on behalf of the Physician Sellers. The Physicians’ Representatives shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. The Physician Sellers shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Physicians’ Representatives in connection with this Agreement, and Buyer shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by and decisions of the Physicians’ Representatives pursuant to this Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Physician Sellers. Notices or communications to or from the Physicians’ Representatives shall constitute notice to or from each Physician Seller.

(d) In dealing with this Agreement and any instruments, agreements or documents relating to this Agreement, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Physicians’ Representatives under this Agreement or under such other instruments, agreements or documents, the Physician Sellers agree that: (i) the Physicians’ Representatives shall not assume any, and shall incur no, liability whatsoever to any of the Physician Sellers because of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted under this Agreement or in connection with this Agreement including by reason of the negligence of the Physicians’ Representatives, (ii) the Physicians’ Representatives shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, certified public accountants or other experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Physicians’ Representatives pursuant to such advice shall not subject the Physicians’ Representatives to any liability to the Physician Sellers, (iii) in taking any action whatsoever under this Agreement, the Physicians’ Representatives shall be protected in relying upon any notice, paper or other document reasonably believed by the Physicians’ Representatives to be genuine, or upon any evidence reasonably deemed by the Physicians’ Representatives to be sufficient, and (iv) the Physician Sellers agree, individually (and not jointly and severally), (A) to indemnify the Physicians’ Representatives for, and to hold the Physicians’ Representatives harmless against, any Loss incurred, arising out of or in connection with the Physicians’ Representatives carrying out their duties under this Section 11.17, including costs and expenses of successfully defending the Physicians’ Representatives against any claim of liability with respect thereto, (B) to promptly advance any funds requested by the Physicians’ Representatives to cover the reasonable costs and expenses relating to the defense of any such claim, penalty, liability or other matter covered by the foregoing indemnity, and (C) that the Physicians’ Representatives shall have the right to control the defense in any such proceeding. The foregoing indemnification shall not apply in the event of any action or proceeding that finally adjudicates the liability of the Physicians’ Representatives under this Agreement for willful misconduct. If such indemnification provided for in this Section 11.17(d) is not permitted by applicable law with respect to any Physician Seller, then such Physician Seller, in lieu of indemnifying the Physicians’ Representatives, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Physicians’ Representatives as a result of any such Losses incurred by the Physicians’ Representatives in proportion to such Physician Seller’s Physician Pro Rata Percentage. The indemnity obligations of this Section 11.17(d) shall survive the resignation, replacement, or removal of the Physicians’ Representatives.

(e) In the event that a Physicians’ Representative becomes unable or unwilling to perform the responsibilities of Physician’s Representative due to death, resignation or incapacity, a successor shall be appointed by the Physician Sellers holding a majority of the Physician Pro Rata Percentages within the 30-day period immediately following the date of such death, resignation or incapacity, and such successor shall either be (i) a Physician Seller or (ii) any other Person reasonably acceptable to the Physician Sellers who shall agree in writing to accept such appointment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The resignation of any Physicians’ Representative shall not be effective until a successor Physicians’ Representative has been appointed and has accepted such appointment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.17(e). The selection of a successor Physicians’ Representative appointed in any manner permitted in this Section 11.17(e) shall be final and binding upon all of the Physician Sellers and written notice of such selection and appointment shall be promptly provided to Buyer, and such substituted representative shall (x) be deemed to be a Physicians’ Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and (y) exercise the rights and powers of, and be entitled to the indemnity, reimbursement and other benefits of, a Physicians’ Representative.

(f) The appointment of the Physicians’ Representatives pursuant to this Section 11.17(f) shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and shall survive the death, incompetency, incapacity, bankruptcy, or liquidation of any Physician Seller and the Closing, unless all of the Physician Sellers otherwise agree to remove any Physicians’ Representative, in which case all the Physician Sellers

shall immediately appoint a replacement Physicians’ Representative who shall, as a condition precedent to the removal of any existing Physicians’ Representative, agree in writing to be bound by, and comply with, all provisions in this Agreement relating to the Physicians’ Representatives.

(g) The Physicians’ Representatives shall not be entitled to any fee, commission or other compensation for the performance of its services under this Agreement, unless approved in writing by all of the Physician Sellers and payable solely by the Physician Sellers or the Physician Sellers’ respective Affiliates; provided, however, that the Physicians’ Representatives shall be entitled to the payment of all expenses incurred as the Physicians’ Representatives, which amounts the Physician Sellers agree to promptly pay to the Physicians’ Representatives in proportion to their respective Physician Pro Rata Percentages upon request of the Physicians’ Representatives (which amounts may be in excess of the reserve account established above). The reserve account established pursuant to Section 11.17(a)(vii) may be disbursed to the Physician Sellers, in accordance with their Physician Pro Rata Percentages at the instruction of the Physicians’ Representatives at such times and in such amounts as the Physicians’ Representatives may determine in their sole discretion.
