Re: LETTER OF AGREEMENT
Dear Xx. Xxxxxxxx,
This letter is intended to set forth an agreement by and between HealthStream,
Inc. ("HealthStream"), a Tennessee corporation, and the Medical Association of
Georgia ("MAG"), a Georgia, not-for-profit corporation.
1) Overall Structure. This letter of agreement establishes a joint marketing
agreement to cooperatively distribute continuing medical education (CME)
for physicians.
2) Purpose. The purpose of this venture is to jointly market and distribute
online CME using the combined resources of MAG and HealthStream.
Specifically the parties intend to:
a) Market the availability of online CME courses to MAG's medical
staff using marketing means consistent with current means of
reaching MAG physicians (i.e. newsletters, education catalog,
Grand Round announcements, direct mail, etc.).
b) Distribute HealthStream's CME Web Courses through a link to MAG's
web page(s)
3) Price and Payment. The pricing and payment for the online CME courses shall
be on the following terms:
a) Due to the relationship between HealthStream and MAG, HealthStream
shall provide those physicians identifying themselves as MAG
physicians using either a) an event code provided by HealthStream
unique to MAG, or b) upon registering for a course by completing a
demographic field indicating MAG as their sponsoring organization,
with a * discount off of the retail prices listed for the online
courses on the HealthStream Web site (xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx)
b) Physicians shall bear the total cost for their CME courses less
any discounts extended to them by HealthStream as a result of this
agreement. MAG shall not be obligated to pay for any online CME
course or part of any online CME for their physicians at any time.
c) MAG shall be responsible for the link provided on their Web
site(s) for the CME course at their cost. HealthStream will
provide link graphics at no charge to MAG at their request.
4) Exclusivity. There is no overt or implied exclusivity by either party in
this agreement.
5) Confidentiality of Negotiations. The parties shall use reasonable efforts
to maintain at all times as confidential information the terms of this
letter and the content of any negotiations between us except that both
parties may (i) inform advisors, counsel and employees with a need to know
as each party deems necessary, and (ii) make appropriate disclosures if
required by applicable securities laws. The parties will work together to
determine the timing and content of releases of information to the press
and other media entities.
6) Governing Law. This letter shall be governed by the substantive laws of the
State of Tennessee.
7) Entirety. This letter constitutes the entire understanding and agreement
between the parties hereto and their affiliates with respect to its subject
matter and supercedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
representations, warranties, and understandings of such parties (whether
oral or written). No promise, inducement, representation or agreement,
other than as expressly set forth herein, has

been made to or by the parties hereto. This letter may be amended only by
written agreement, signed by the parties to be bound by the amendment.
8) Construction. This letter shall be construed according to its fair meaning
and not strictly for or against either party. This letter does not, and is
not intended to, impose any binding obligations on the parties.
If the terms and conditions of this letter are acceptable, please sign and
return to us a copy of this letter so that we can proceed with this effort.
