F. This Agreement is entered into by the parties hereto as a condition of Closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Consultant agree as follows: AGREEMENT 1. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date of Closing and shall continue until December 31, 2010, or until this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 5 below. 2. Duties of Consultant. 2.1. Consultant shall, to the best of its ability, render the services set forth in Section 2.2 below (the “Services”), in a timely and professional manner in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, the manner and means by which Consultant chooses to complete the Services are in Consultant’s sole discretion and control. If, in the sole and reasonable discretion of the Consultant, any services, functions or responsibilities not specifically described in this Agreement are required for the proper performance and provision of the Services, they shall be deemed to be included within the scope of Services to the same extent as if specifically described in this Agreement. Further, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to agree upon and implement such further services and agreements as may be requested by Company relating to the Services. In performing the Services, Consultant agrees to provide its own personnel, equipment, tools and other materials at its own expense. Company shall make its facilities and equipment available to Consultant as reasonably necessary in connection with the Services. Consultant may not subcontract or otherwise delegate its obligations under this Agreement without Company’s prior written consent. For any work performed on Company’s premises, Consultant shall comply with all security, confidentiality, safety and health policies of Company. 2.2 The Services under this Agreement shall include: (a) Development of New Clinics. The Company shall prepare a written development plan for one or more new clinics, which shall include a commitment to provide up to $300,000 of initial capital for the development of each new clinic (each, a “New Clinic” and collectively, the “New Clinics”). The Consultant shall advise the Company with respect to the development plan, including revisions thereto, and generally assist the Company in the development, establishment and promotion of each New Clinic.

During the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall advise the Company regarding all aspects of the operation and management of HPMS, which shall include management of the existing P.C.s pursuant to the Management Agreements. 2.3 Duties of Xxxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxx agrees to take primary responsibility for the Consultant’s rendering of Services under this Agreement, and to devote sufficient personal time and effort as may be necessary to discharge Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to the Services being provided under this Agreement, Xxxxxxxx is also responsible for providing similar services on behalf of certain other consulting entities under three (3) additional consulting agreements to which the Company is a party. Accordingly, Xxxxxxxx shall allocate his time in such a manner as he may deem reasonably necessary in order to fulfill his duties under all such consulting agreements. 3. Compensation. 3.1 Fixed Compensation. The Company shall pay to the Consultant, as fixed base compensation (“Base Compensation”) for the Services under Section 2.2(b), (c) and (d), Two Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($275,000) per annum during the term of this Agreement, payable in twelve (12) equal consecutive monthly installments and pro rated daily for any partial period of service. 3.2 Profit-Based Compensation for New Clinics. The Company shall pay to the Consultant, as compensation for the Services involving the development of new clinics set forth in Section 2.2(a), thirty percent (30%) of New Clinic Profits calculated on an annual basis, beginning with the twelve month period ending December 31, 2006. For purposes of this Agreement, “New Clinic Profits” shall mean a positive dollar amount equal to the annual Adjusted EBITDA of the Company derived from the New Clinics, in the aggregate. “Adjusted EBITDA” for purposes of this Section 3.2 shall mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, determined in accordance with GAAP on an accrual basis by the same independent accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and Consultant, adjusted as follows: (a) neither the proceeds from nor any dividends or refunds with respect to, nor any increases in the cash surrender value of, any life insurance policy under which the Company or any of the New Clinics is the named beneficiary or is otherwise entitled to recovery, shall be included as income, and the premium expense related to any such life insurance policy shall not be treated as an expense; (b) the Employee Bonus Amount (as such term is defined in the Membership Purchase Agreement) shall not be treated as an expense and thus shall be added back to Adjusted EBITDA; (c) any extraordinary or unusual gains or losses and any gains or losses from the sale of any capital assets used by the Company or the New Clinics in their operations during the applicable year (as opposed to assets acquired in the ordinary course of the business of the New Clinics for resale or other disposition) shall be excluded from income; and 3 (d) an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the gross revenue of the Company received from the New Clinics during each applicable year shall be considered as corporate overhead expense, and shall be treated as an expense. 3.3 Incentive Compensation for Management of the P.C.s. The Company shall pay to the Consultant, as additional incentive compensation for the Services involving management of the existing P.C.s as set forth in Section 2.2(d), twenty percent (20%) of Annual Incremental Profits derived under the Company’s Management Agreements with the P.C.s, calculated on an annual basis. For purposes of this Agreement, “Annual Incremental Profits” with respect to a period shall mean the aggregate excess Adjusted EBITDA of the Company derived under the Management Agreements (if any), for the six (6) month period ending December 31, 2006, and for each of the calendar years ending December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively (each, a “Measuring Period”), over Adjusted EBITDA of the Company derived under the Management Agreements for the calendar year ending December 31, 2006 (except that the six month period ending December 31, 2006 shall be compared against the same six month period ending December 31, 2005). “Adjusted EBITDA” for purposes of this Section 3.3 shall mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, determined on an accrual basis by the same independent accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and Consultant, adjusted as follows: (a) neither the proceeds from nor any dividends or refunds with respect to, nor any increases in the cash surrender value of, any life insurance policy under which the Company or the P.C.s is the named beneficiary or is otherwise entitled to recovery, shall be included as income, and the premium expense related to any such life insurance policy shall not be treated as an expense; (b) the Employee Bonus Amount (as such term is defined in the Membership Purchase Agreement) shall not be treated as an expense and thus shall be added back to Adjusted EBITDA; and (c) any extraordinary or unusual gains or losses and any gains or losses from the sale of any capital assets used by the Company or the P.C.s or any subsidiary thereof in its operations during the applicable Measuring Period (as opposed to assets acquired in the ordinary course of the business of the P.C.s and their subsidiaries for resale or other disposition) shall be excluded from income. 3.4 Payment Terms. The Company shall pay Consultant the amounts set forth in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 as follows: (a) The Company shall pay the amounts due under Section 3.2 and 3.3 hereof based upon the Company’s confidential good faith estimate of New Clinic Profits and Annual Incremental Profits, within thirty (30) days after end of each calendar year beginning with the year ended December 31, 2006. 4 (b) Within 10 days after the release of the Report of Accountants with respect to each calendar year, the Company shall pay to the Consultant any deficiency, or the Consultant shall pay to the Company any excess (as the case may be), in the amount paid to Consultant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) based upon a reconciliation of the Company’s estimated New Clinic Profits and Annual Incremental Profits on the one hand, and New Clinic Profits and Annual Incremental Profits as determined by the Accountants (defined below) on the other hand. The Company may at its sole discretion, with respect to any excess or deficiency in Consultant’s compensation resulting from a reconciliation pursuant to this Section 3.4(b), credit the Consultant for any such deficiency or offset any of Consultant’s compensation hereunder for any such excess, and apply such credit or offset (as applicable) in the following calendar year. (c) The payment terms in this Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement until all payments due to Consultant under this Section 3 are calculated and paid; provided, however, that Consultant’s compensation hereunder shall be pro rated for any partial calendar year of service. (d) The Consultant hereby agrees that any good faith estimate determined by the Company pursuant to this Section shall constitute Confidential Information (as defined below), and shall not be released to any party without the prior consent of the Company. 3.5 Accounting Procedures. The compensation to be paid pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure: (e) The Company’s independent auditors (the “Accountants”) shall prepare in accordance with GAAP, and deliver to the Company, a report containing a computation of Adjusted EBITDA under Sections 3.2 and 3.3, respectively, within 90 days following the completion of each calendar year (“Report of Accountants”). The Company shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, a copy of each such computation of each applicable Adjusted EBITDA to the Consultant or its representatives. (f) Either party shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the Report of Accountants to dispute any computations made therein, by delivery of a written notice to the other party hereto, which notice shall include an explanation of the basis for such dispute. If after such thirty day period neither party receives written notice of a dispute, the Report of Accountants shall thereupon be deemed final and binding on the parties. (g) If the Company and the Consultant reconcile their differences, the applicable Adjusted EBITDA for the relevant time period shall be adjusted accordingly and shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon agreement in writing by the parties, and shall be enforceable in a court of law. If the Company and the Consultant are unable to reconcile their differences in writing within 20 days after written notice is delivered to the other party (the “Reconciliation Period”), the items in dispute shall be submitted to a mutually acceptable accounting firm (other than the Accountants) (the “Independent Auditors”) for final determination, and the calculation of applicable Adjusted EBITDA for the relevant time period shall be deemed adjusted in accordance with the determination of the Independent Auditors and shall become binding, final and conclusive upon all of the parties hereto and enforceable in a court of law. The Independent Auditors shall consider only the items in dispute and shall be instructed to act within 20 days (or such longer period as the parties hereto may agree) to resolve all items in dispute. In the event the parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable accounting firm within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the Reconciliation Period, the matter shall be submitted to the courts of the State of New York, County of Nassau, which the parties agree shall have the exclusive right to appoint the accounting firm on behalf of the parties. 5 (h) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company to restate its audited financial statements. The Company may at its sole discretion, with respect to any excess or deficiency in Consultant’s compensation resulting from a dispute resolved pursuant to this Section 3.5, credit the Consultant for any such deficiency or offset any of Consultant’s compensation hereunder for any such excess, and apply such credit or offset (as applicable) in the following calendar year, provided however that any credit shall be paid to Consultant within 30 days of final determination under this Section that such credit is owed. 4. Nondisclosure and Noninterference. 4.1 Access to Confidential Information. The Consultant and Xxxxxxxx agree that during the term of the business relationship between the Consultant and the Company, the Consultant and Xxxxxxxx will have access to and become acquainted with confidential proprietary information (“Confidential Information”) which is owned by the Company and is regularly used in the operation of the Company’s business. The Consultant and Xxxxxxxx agree that the term “Confidential Information” as used in this Agreement is to be broadly interpreted and includes (i) information that has, or could have, commercial value for the business in which the Company is engaged, or in which the Company may engage at a later time, and (ii) information that, if disclosed without authorization, could be detrimental to the economic interests of the Company. The Consultant and Xxxxxxxx agree that the term “Confidential Information” includes, without limitation, any proprietary or otherwise undisclosed information about present and future patents, patent applications, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, service marks, service names, “know-how,” negative “know-how,” trade secrets, customer and supplier identities, characteristics and terms of agreement, details of customer or consultant contracts, pricing policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, product development techniques or plans, business acquisitions plans, science or technical information, ideas, discoveries, designs, computer programs (including source codes), financial forecasts, unpublished financial information, budgets, processes, procedures, formulae, improvements or other proprietary or intellectual property of the Company, whether or not in written or tangible form, and whether or not registered, and including all memoranda, notes, summaries, plans, reports, records, documents and other evidence thereof. The Consultant and Xxxxxxxx acknowledge that all Confidential Information, whether prepared by the Consultant or otherwise acquired by the Consultant and Xxxxxxxx in any other way, shall, as between the Company and the Consultant and/or Xxxxxxxx (as applicable), remain the exclusive property of the Company. 6 4.2 No Disclosure by Consultant. The Consultant and Xxxxxxxx promise and agree that the Consultant (which shall include the Consultant’s employees and contractors) shall not misuse, misappropriate, or disclose in any way to any person or entity any of the Company’s Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, nor will the Consultant or Xxxxxxxx use the Confidential Information in any way or at any time except as required in the course of the Consultant’s or Xxxxxxxx’x business relationship with the Company. Consultant and Xxxxxxxx agree that, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, they shall (a) hold Confidential Information in trust and confidence; (b) use Confidential Information only for the benefit of Company (and not for the benefit of Consultant or Xxxxxxxx or any third party), (c) not use Confidential Information in any manner or for any purpose not expressly set forth in this Agreement; (d) reproduce such Confidential Information only to the extent reasonably required to fulfill Consultant’s or Xxxxxxxx’x obligations hereunder; and (e) not disclose, deliver, provide, disseminate or otherwise make available to any third party, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information without first obtaining the Company’s express written consent on a case-by-case basis. Consultant or Xxxxxxxx may disclose Confidential Information only to Consultant’s employees and agents who have a need to know such Confidential Information. Consultant and Xxxxxxxx shall take at least the same degree of care that they use to protect their own confidential and proprietary information of similar nature and importance (but in no event less than reasonable care) to protect the confidentiality and avoid the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication or dissemination of Confidential Information. 4.3 Termination of Confidentiality Obligation. Confidential Information ceases to be confidential and subject to the terms of this Agreement if (a) such information becomes generally known to the public through no fault of the Consultant or Xxxxxxxx; (b) the Company conveys such information to a third party without designating it as confidential; and/or (c) the Consultant or Xxxxxxxx learn of such information from a third party who did not breach any obligation of confidentiality. Additionally, the Consultant and Xxxxxxxx shall have the right to disclose Confidential Information if required to do so by court order, provided that prior to so disclosing, the Consultant and/or Xxxxxxxx (as applicable) shall inform the Company of the court order and give the Company an opportunity to seek a protective order respecting such Confidential Information. 4.4 Noninterference. Consultant and Xxxxxxxx acknowledge that Company’s relationships with its employees, agents, suppliers, customers and vendors are valuable business assets. Accordingly, Consultant and Xxxxxxxx agree that, during the period of this Agreement Consultant and Xxxxxxxx shall not (for itself or for any third party) divert or attempt to divert from Company any business, employee, agent, supplier, client, customer or vendor, through solicitation or otherwise. 4.5 Obligations Survive Agreement. The obligations of Consultant and Xxxxxxxx under this section 4 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 5. Termination. 5.1 Termination on Default. Should either party default in the performance of this Agreement or materially breach any of its provisions, which default or breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice specifying the nature of such default or breach (as applicable) by the non-breaching party to the breaching party, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon expiration of such thirty (30) day period. Termination shall be effective upon two days notice (which notice shall be given in accordance with Section 8 below). For purposes of this section, material breaches of this Agreement shall include, but not be limited to any of the following: 7 (a) the failure by the Company to pay the compensation set forth in section 3 above when due, or the Company’s default under the Promissory Note between the Company, as Maker, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, as Payee; (b) either party’s material breach or refusal to perform any of such party’s material obligations under this Agreement; (c) the material failure, on more than one occasion, to perform material duties which are required to be performed under the terms of this Agreement on the part of the Consultant; (d) the commission of an act of fraud or misrepresentation by the Consultant or Xxxxxxxx; (e) the material failure by the Consultant to conform to all material laws and regulations governing the Consultant’s duties under this Agreement; (f) the commission by the Consultant of any act that has a direct material adverse effect on the reputation of the Company; (g) the disassociation, departure, separation or termination of Xxxxxxxx by or from the Company, except due to death or Disability; (h) the repeated failure of Xxxxxxxx to be reasonably available during normal business hours for consultation as required by this Agreement, except in the case of his death or Disability (hereinafter defined); (i) the cessation of Continuous Service (hereinafter defined) under this Agreement by Xxxxxxxx, except in the case of death or Disability; “Continuous Service” means that the provision of Services to the Company under this Agreement (as a member of the Consultant) is not materially interrupted or terminated; provided that Continuous Service shall not be considered materially interrupted in the case of a leave of absence of up to one month during any twelve month period, unless approved by the Company; (j) the breach by Consultant or the Company of any material term of the Transaction Documents to which they are a party; (k) the Company shall (A) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, administrator, manager or custodian of the Company or of all or a substantial part of its property, (B) be unable, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, (C) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (D) become insolvent (as such term may be defined or interpreted under any applicable statute), (E) commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization, administration or other relief with respect to its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession of the Company’s property in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against the Company, or (F) take any action for the purpose of effectuating any of the forgoing. 8 For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months. 5.2 Automatic Termination. This Agreement will terminate without any further action on the part of either party upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) a mutual agreement by the parties to terminate, as contemplated by section 1 above, or (b) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution or winding up of the Consultant. 5.3 Return of Company Property. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Consultant shall immediately transfer to the Company all files (including, but not limited to, electronic files), records, documents, drawings, specifications, equipment and similar items in its possession relating to the business of the Company or its Confidential Information (including the work product of the Consultant created pursuant to this Agreement) and the Company shall immediately transfer to the Consultant all files (including, but not limited to, electronic files) records, documents, drawings, specifications, equipment and similar items in its possession belonging to the Consultant, so long as such property does not include or encompass Confidential Information belonging to the Company. If property otherwise belonging to the Consultant includes or encompasses Confidential Information belonging to the Company, then such Confidential Information shall be removed from the property, if possible, but if it is not possible to remove the Confidential Information then the Company and the Consultant will negotiate in good faith to find a mutual solution to the disposition of the property. 5.4 Remedies for Breach. Consultant recognizes that the covenants contained in Section 4 hereof are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Company, that Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such covenants, and that Consultant’s breach or threatened breach of such covenants shall cause Company irreparable harm and significant injury, the amount of which shall be extremely difficult to estimate and ascertain, thus, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Therefore, Consultant agrees that Company shall be entitled, without the necessity of posting of any bond or security, to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of such covenants and for any other relief such court deems appropriate. This right shall be in addition to any other remedy available to Company at law or in equity. 6. Status of Consultant.

ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED AS TO SECTIONS 2.3 AND 4 By: _________________________ Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx 13 EXHIBIT G Non-Competition Agreement NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT THIS NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of ____________ __, 2005 by and between Basic Care Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (“Obligor”). The Closing Date (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreements (as defined below)) shall be the “Effective Date” of this Agreement. RECITALS A. Grand Central Management Services, LLC (“Grand Central”), United Healthcare Management LLC (“United”) and Park Slope Management Associates, LLC (“Park Slope”) (each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”) are engaged in the business of providing management and administrative services to healthcare providers (the “Business”) in the State of New York. Purchaser is a Delaware corporation also engaged in the Business. B. The undersigned Obligor is a beneficial owner of each of the Sellers. C. This Non-Competition Agreement is being entered into between the Purchaser and Obligor as a condition of closing pursuant to certain Asset Purchase Agreements dated an even date herewith by and between the Purchaser and each of the respective Sellers (each, an “Asset Purchase Agreement” and collectively, the “Asset Purchase Agreements”), pursuant to which the Purchaser shall acquire substantially all of the assets (“Acquired Assets”) of the Sellers. D. Each of the Sellers (Grand Central, United and Park Slope, respectively) act as management companies who provide management and administrative services to the following clinics, respectively: (i) Midtown Medical Practice, P.C., a New York professional corporation located at 00 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 (“Midtown”), (ii) Alliance Medical Office, P.C., a New York professional corporation located at 0000-0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (“Alliance”) located at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000, and (iii) Synergy Medical Practice, P.C., a New York professional corporation located at 0000 0xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (“Synergy”). For purposes of this Agreement, Midtown, Alliance and Synergy are collectively referred to as the “Clinics.” E. Purchaser will pay the Sellers consideration for the Acquired Assets acquired in the Acquisition, which consideration may be assigned, transferred or otherwise distributed to the members of the Seller. The Seller and Obligor acknowledge that key among the Acquired Assets are the respective Turnkey License and Management Agreements between each of Grand Central, United and Park Slope and the respective Clinics. F. The Sellers and the Obligor have valuable knowledge, relationships, experience and expertise in connection with the Business, and as a condition to closing of the Acquisition, the Purchaser and each Seller shall concurrently enter into a consulting agreement pursuant to which each Seller (including the Obligor as a member of the Seller) will provide consulting services to the Purchaser (the “Consulting Agreements”). G. Additionally, the Purchaser is entering into a separate consulting agreement with Obligor, who shall assist the Purchaser in the development, establishment, operation and management of additional medical clinics (the “New Clinics”) at one or more locations. H. As a condition and mutual inducement to the Acquisition, and to preserve the value of the Acquired Assets being acquired by Purchaser after the Acquisition, the Asset Purchase Agreement contemplates, among other things, that the Obligor shall enter into this Non-Competition Agreement effective on the Effective Date. I. All capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the same respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Asset Purchase Agreements. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, Purchaser and the Obligor hereby agree as follows: 1. Covenant Not to Compete or Solicit. (a) Beginning on the Effective Date and ending eighteen (18) months after the termination or expiration of the Consulting Agreement (the “Non-Competition Period”), Obligor shall not, other than on behalf of Purchaser, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Purchaser: (i) engage in a Competing Business Activity (as defined below) anywhere within a seven (7) mile radius of any Clinic or New Clinic (the “Restricted Area”), whether as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, proprietor, partner, officer, director or otherwise, or have any ownership interest in (except for ownership of three percent (3%) or less of any publicly-held entity), or participate in or facilitate the financing, operation, management or control of, any firm, partnership, corporation, entity or business that engages or participates in a Competing Business Activity; or (ii) interfere with the business of Purchaser or approach, contact or solicit patients, employees, contractors, physicians, shareholders or other affiliates of the Clinics or New Clinics, or employees or contractors of the Purchaser, in connection with a Competing Business Activity. For purposes of this Agreement, “Competing Business Activity” shall mean any business or activity involving or relating to providing physician management and administrative services to clinics or practices which are engaged in the same or substantially similar lines of business as any of the Clinics or New Clinics within the State of New York. (b) Beginning on the Effective Date and ending eighteen (18) months after the date of termination or expiration of the Consulting Agreements (the “Non-Solicitation Period”), Obligor shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, solicit, encourage or take any other action which is intended to induce or encourage, or has the effect of inducing or encouraging, any employee of the Purchaser, the Clinics, the New Clinics, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the foregoing, to (i) terminate his or her employment with the Purchaser, the Clinics, the New Clinics, or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or (ii) engage in any action in which Obligor would, under the provisions of Section 1(a) hereof, be prohibited from engaging. 2 (c) The covenants contained in Section 1(a) hereof shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each seven (7) mile radius comprising the Restricted Area. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in Section 1(a) hereof. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of this Section 1 are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws. (d) Obligor acknowledges that (i) the goodwill associated with the existing business, customers and assets of the Sellers and Clinics prior to the Acquisition, including but not limited to the Turnkey License and Management Agreements by and among Grand Central, United, Park Slope, and the respective Clinics, is an integral component of the value of the Acquired Assets to Purchaser, and (ii) Obligor’s agreement as set forth herein is necessary to preserve the value of the Acquired Assets following the Acquisition. Obligor also acknowledges that the limitations of time, geography and scope of activity agreed to in this Agreement are reasonable because, among other things: (A) the Sellers and Purchaser are engaged in a highly competitive industry, (B) Obligor has unique access to, and will continue to have access to, the trade secrets and know-how of the Sellers and Purchaser, including, without limitation, the plans and strategy (and, in particular, the competitive strategy) of the Purchaser, (C) Obligor is receiving significant consideration in connection with the Acquisition, (D) in the event of the termination of the Consulting Agreements between the Purchaser and Sellers (of which Obligor is an employee and beneficial owner), Obligor would be able to obtain suitable and satisfactory employment or engagement without violation of this Agreement. (e) Obligor’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain in effect for a period of eighteen (18) months if the Consulting Agreements between the Purchaser and Sellers are terminated for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect ten (10) days after Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx provides written notice to the Company that an Event of Default has occurred under the Promissory Note between Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, as Payee, and the Company, as Maker, dated of even date herewith. 2. Miscellaneous. (a) Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to rules of conflicts of law. Obligor hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Nassau County, New York for any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement or relating to any arbitration in which the parties are participants. (b) Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to conflict with any federal, state or local law, or to be otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such portion of this Agreement shall be of no force or effect and this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and be construed as if such portion had not been included in this Agreement. 3 (c) No Assignment. Because the nature of the Agreement is specific to the actions of Obligor, Obligor may not assign this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser and its successors and assigns. (d) Notices. All notices, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally, on the next business day when sent overnight by Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight courier service, or five (5) days after being mailed if mailed by first-class, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to Obligor, at 000 Xxxxxxx Xx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx; or at such other address or addresses as Obligor shall have furnished to the Purchaser in writing, or (b) if to the Purchaser, at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxx Xxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other address as the Purchaser shall have furnished to Obligor in writing. A copy of all notices sent to Purchaser shall also be sent to Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Facsimile (000) 000-0000.

This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be changed or modified, except by an agreement in writing executed by Purchaser and Obligor. (f) Waiver of Breach. The waiver of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement, which must be in writing, shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other previous or subsequent breach of this Agreement. (g) Headings. All captions and section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not form a part of this Agreement. (h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart shall have the same force and effect as an original and shall constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned. (i) Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no force and effect eighteen (18) months after the termination or expiration of each of the Consulting Agreements between the Purchaser and the Sellers.
