NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance on the foregoing representations, incorporated herein by this reference, CFO and Physician, intending to be legally bound, and in consideration for the mutual promises set forth herein, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. NATURE OF RELATIONSHIP. CFO will assist Physician in locating Clients in need of the Services and will further provide such administrative, support and related non-medical services necessary or required for the Physician to perform the Services, including, without limitation, coordinating the Clients in need of the Services with Physician and in scheduling Physician to provide the Services to those Clients who request CFO to assign or schedule a physician to perform the Services on such client’s behalf, and Physician agrees to accept such engagements with Clients as CFO shall make available to Physician, except such opportunities as Physician specifically declines in accordance with section 4 of this Agreement. The Physician shall be compensated in accordance with the fees set forth in Schedule A attached hereto for Services actually and professionally performed by Physician, which fees are net of CFO’s compensation for its services and which are subject to reduction because of Physician’s failure to fulfill the Service Requirements set forth on Schedule B attached hereto. No treatment of any type shall be rendered (nor, for example, shall prescriptions be written or medication dispensed by Physician) under the terms of this Agreement. Physician shall not assign to any other physician his/her/its obligation to render services to an Examinee, without the prior written approval of CFO.

2. CONFLICT. If Physician or anyone in his/her Group is or has already been the treating physician of the Examinee or otherwise previously had a physician-patient relationship with the Examinee, Physician agrees that a conflict may exist potentially disqualifying Physician from performing the Services; and Physician will so notify CFO within forty-eight (48) hours of being requested to perform the proposed Examination and before performing any of the Services on the Examinee as scheduled by CFO. Upon receiving notice of such conflict, CFO, upon its sole discretion, may reschedule the Examination with another physician.

3. GOOD STANDING. Physician agrees that he or she is qualified to perform the Services and is duly licensed, board-certified, and in good standing in the jurisdiction where, and at the time, the Services are being rendered by Physician.

4. WORKLOAD/AVAILABILITY. (a) Except as set forth in Section 5(d) below, Physician understands that CFO makes no representation or guarantee concerning the total number of Examinations or amount of Services that Physician may be scheduled to perform pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to Physician being requested to perform an Examination, CFO will contact Physician and determine Physician’s availability to perform such Examination and to render a report within the time in which the Client wishes the Services provided. If Physician is available, CFO may schedule the Physician to perform the Services on the Examinee. Upon receipt of a request by CFO to perform an Evaluation, Physician may either accept, or, upon as much notice to CFO as is possible (but not less than fourteen (14) calendar days notice, absent an extreme emergency), reject the request. In the absence of a timely written rejection, it will be assumed that the request has been accepted.

IC Initials_____________

CONFIDENTIAL

(b) Once the request has been accepted by Physician, CFO will then coordinate the appointment. Should Physician become unavailable, Physician will immediately provide CFO with notice of his/her unavailability. The minimum notice required of Physician to CFO under these circumstances is fourteen (14) calendar days unless the Client has given CFO less than this amount of time to perform an Examination, in which case the maximum possible notice of Physician’s unavailability shall be provided by Physician to CFO. Cancellations on shorter notice will be permitted in the case of an extreme emergency. Cancellations without adequate notice or explanation may disqualify Physician from being scheduled to perform future Examinations, other than “Addendum” or other follow-up services relating to Examinations previously performed, and the cancellation of this Agreement by CFO.

(c) Physician will promptly notify CFO of any problems with (i) Examinee compliance, (ii) Examinee ‘no-shows’, or (iii) Physician’s non-receipt of necessary records. Following the scheduled appointment, Physician shall forward to CFO a completed “Appointment Result Form” which will be supplied to Physician prior to the Examination.

(d) Notwithstanding the above, if Physician has performed an Examination, or provided other Services, Physician shall make himself/herself available, as requested by Client(s), for ‘Addendums’, depositions, court appearances and such other Services as may be requested by the Client. This subparagraph 4(d) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement in perpetuity.

5. FEES. (a) CFO shall xxxx to and collect from Clients for the services rendered to them and will remit to the Physician the amount set forth on the attached Schedule A for each such Service provided by Physician to the Client, as such fees may be reduced as a result of Physician’s failure to meet the Service Requirements set forth in Schedule B attached hereto. Physician shall submit such documentation to CFO as is necessary for CFO to xxxx the Clients for Services performed by the Physician.

(b) As CFO is the party authorized to xxxx the Clients for Services rendered by the Physician under this Agreement, Physician shall not, under any circumstance, request, accept or collect payment from the Client or the Examinee(s). A violation of this subparagraph 5(b) shall be deemed a material breach for purposes of Paragraph 23(c)(iii).

(c) Physician shall be exclusively responsible for the payment of his/her employees, subcontractors, and for any overhead costs incurred in connection with the provision of the Services, and shall indemnify and hold CFO harmless for any claims of any type by any of his/hers employees or subcontractors relating to or arising from this Agreement in any way, directly or indirectly.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, subject to the availability of Physician as determined in accordance with Section 4 above, during each Term Year (as defined below) CFO agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assign to Physician, and Physician agrees to accept, such number of Services as to enable Physician to generate fees to be disbursed to Physician by CFO equal to not less than the Target Fee Amount (as defined below). The parties agree and acknowledge that the fees to be disbursed to Physician during each Term Year shall be not less than [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION] percent ([CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION]%) of the standard fees invoiced to CFO’s Clients for legal work (such legal work to include, but not be limited to, phone consultations, court appearances, attorney conferences, video testimony, discovery depositions, arbitrations, and physician preparation time related to the foregoing) performed by Physician and not less than [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION] percent ([CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION]%) of the standard fees invoiced to CFO’s Clients for non-legal work performed by Physician (each such percentage, a “Minimum Fee Percentage”), in each case as further described on Schedule A attached hereto. For purposes of this Section 5(d), “Target Fee Amount” shall mean [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION] Dollars ($[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION]), which shall be equal to [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION] percent ([CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL REDACTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION]%) of the annual average of the standard fees invoiced to CFO’s Clients for services rendered by Physician during the two calendar years ended December 31, 2007. Amounts with respect to Services performed by Physician shall be disbursed by CFO to Physician on a monthly basis.

6. MODIFICATION OF SCHEDULES. Schedules A and B attached hereto may be changed by from time to time by mutual agreement of the parties. In no event, however, shall the fees disbursable to Physician during each Term Year under Section 5(d) for legal work and non-legal work performed by Physician be less than the applicable Minimum Fee Percentage. Changes to Schedules A and B shall not apply to any Services which Physician has begun to perform but which Physician has not yet completed.

7. COSTS OF PERFORMANCE. (a) Physician shall be responsible for all costs associated with the performance of the Services (e.g., professional liability insurance, office space,) other than those items and services which CFO is obligated to provide under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Physician shall utilize, without cost or charge to CFO or any other party, Physician’s own designated office space, medical or other equipment (including without limitation medical equipment needed for the Examinations), medical or office supplies, and clerical and medical staff, in support of Physician’s obligations under this Agreement.

(b) For the Services performed by Physician at facilities provided by CFO as a convenience, CFO will not charge Physician for basic office space, equipment, and clerical and medical staff support that is present in any event. Unless otherwise specified, Physician is responsible for all of its own expenses incurred in providing Services at facilities provided by CFO; including, but not limited to, the expense of traveling to and from said facilities to accomplish the Services designated under this Agreement.

(c) Unless authorized by the Client in advance of, during or following an Examination, which Physician must confirm with CFO, (i) CFO will not reimburse Physician for any third-party charges of any type; and (ii) any third-party charges incurred for or arising out of Physician’s Services hereunder, or for tests ordered by Physician, will be Physician’s sole financial responsibility. To obtain such authorization, Physician must promptly communicate with CFO, which in turn will seek Client’s authorization.

8. REQUIRED INSURANCE. Physician shall throughout the duration of this Agreement, (a) maintain, and provide to CFO proof of, insurance equal to the greater of [1] the insurance required to be maintained by Physician under applicable laws and regulations and [2] (i) malpractice insurance of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and annual aggregate of not less than $3,000,000; (ii) commercial liability insurance naming CFO as an additional insured of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and annual aggregate of not less than $3,000,000; and (iii) workers’ compensation insurance ([1] and [2], as applicable, are referred to herein as the “Insurance”); and (b) deliver to CFO upon demand, certificates of insurance evidencing that the Insurance is maintained in full force and effect. Any failure by Physician to maintain and provide proof of the Insurance in accordance with this Paragraph 8 and/or to deliver the aforesaid certificates of insurance shall be deemed to constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

9. INDEMNIFICATION/REMEDIES. Physician covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold -harmless CFO, Clients, and all officers, directors, shareholders, members, employees, agents and representatives of CFO and the Clients (collectively, the “CFO Group”), from any against all liabilities, losses, claims, damages, causes of action, costs and expenses of any kind (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and related expenses) which result from, relate to, or arise in any way from (directly or indirectly) (i) negligent acts or omissions in connection with Physician’s performance under this Agreement, (ii) any breach by Physician of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and/or (iii) any negligence, intentional wrongdoing or bad faith on the part of Physician and/or any individual providing services under this Agreement on behalf of Physician, whether such individual is an employee of Physician or independent contractor. In the event any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any member of the CFO Group and Physician is required to provide indemnification pursuant to and in accordance with this paragraph 9, then Physician shall, at the option of Physician, either (i) engage attorneys approved by CFO or its insurance carrier to defend such member or members, as the case may be, of the CFO Group, or (ii) reimburse such member or members, as the case may be, of the CFO Group for the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel engaged directly by such member or members, as the case may be, of the CFO Group. In the event that any penalties are imposed on any member of the CFO Group by an appropriate regulatory body as the result of the negligence, wrongdoing or bad faith of Physician, Physician shall indemnity the CFO Group for any penalties imposed on any member or members, as the case may be, of the CFO Group. Physician acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate CFO for any breach or threatened breach by Physician of its covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, Physician further acknowledges and agrees that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to CFO and that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law, in equity or otherwise, CFO shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief, including without limitation, a preliminary injunction and/or temporary restraining order, against the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement or the continuation of any such breach,

Prior to providing Services to Examinee, Physician must secure from the Examinee an Authorization, in the form of Schedule C attached hereto, permitting Physician and CFO to release Physician’s Report to the Client.
