6.4. Third Party Claims.

(a) Promptly after receipt by a person or entity entitled to indemnity under Article VI (an “Indemnified Person”) of notice of the assertion of a claim from any person or entity that is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”) against it, the Indemnified Person shall give notice to the person obligated to indemnify under Article VI (an “Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of the Third-Party Claim, provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of the Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give notice.

(b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 6.4(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a person or entity against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend the Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to the Third-Party Claim or (iii) the Third-Party Claim seeks to impose liability on the Indemnified Person other than money damages or (iv) the Third-Party Claim relates to the Indemnified Person’s relationship with any customer, supplier or employee), to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts the defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article VI for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of the Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (i) the assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, and (ii) no compromise or settlement of the Third-Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any federal, state, local, municipal, foreign, international or other constitution, law, ordinance, principle of common law, code, regulation, statute or treaty (“Legal Requirement”) or any violation of the rights of any person or entity; (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person; (C) the Indemnified Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of the Third-Party Claims effected without its Consent and (D) the compromise or settlement includes as an unconditional term a release by all claimants and plaintiffs of all liability of the Indemnified Person with respect to such claim. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in the Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it, or as the case may be, its shareholders, officers, and directors and their respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle the Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its Consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, Seller and MCH hereby consent to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought against any Purchaser Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that a Purchaser Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to the proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agree that process may be served on Seller and MCH with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

(e) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VI: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other person or entity fully informed of the status of the Third-Party Claim and any related proceedings at all stages thereof where the person or entity is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree (at the Indemnifying Person’s expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

(f) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VI, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense avoid production of confidential information and trade secrets (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

6.5 Other claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought and shall be paid promptly after the notice.

COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE, CONFIDENTIALITY, AND OTHERS

12.1 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. Seller and MCH (each a “Seller Party” and collectively the “Seller Parties”) each acknowledge that (i) the Business is conducted primarily in the United States; (ii) the Seller Parties have intimate and valuable knowledge of the Business, as well as technical, financial, customer, supplier and other confidential information related to the Business, which, if exploited by the Seller Parties in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, would seriously, adversely and irreparably affect the ability of the Purchaser to continue to conduct the Business previously conducted by the Seller Parties; (iii) the agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement, as they relate to the Business and otherwise, have been determined by the Purchaser to be essential to protect the Business and its related goodwill; and (iv) the Purchaser would not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement but for such agreements and covenants. Accordingly, the Seller Parties each covenant and agree as follows:

(a) Non-Compete. For a period of five (5) years following the Closing (the “Restricted Period”), no Seller Party shall, directly or indirectly, (A) engage in the Business for such Seller Party’s own account; (B) except as agreed to in writing by the Purchaser, render any services to any Person engaged in such activities; or (C) become interested in any such Person in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, principal, agent, trustee or consultant.

(b) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Restricted Period, no Seller Party shall, either directly or indirectly, hire, solicit or encourage any employee to leave the employment of the Purchaser or any affiliate thereof (each, a “Protected Party” and collectively, the “Protected Parties”).

(c) Discontinuation of Business Relationships. During the Restricted Period, no Seller Party shall, directly or indirectly, seek to induce or otherwise cause any customer, supplier, licensee or any other Person with whom any of the Protected Parties has a business relationship, whether by contract or otherwise, to discontinue or alter in a manner adverse to any Protected Party, such business relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prohibit MCH from continuing to utilizing, attorneys, accountants and other professionals with the ongoing operations of MCH whether or not these professionals choose to continue any business relationship with the Purchaser.

(d) Confidential Information. Each Seller Party shall keep confidential and shall not, without the prior express written consent of the Purchaser, use, disclose or provide access to, any confidential information relating to the Business of any Protected Party, including customer lists and other information, except: (A) any information required to be disclosed by law or court order; and (B) any information that is otherwise available to the public or in the public domain, other than as a result of a disclosure by any Seller Party, in violation of confidentiality obligations under any agreement with a Protected Party.

12.2 Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. If any Seller Party breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section (the “Restrictive Covenants”), the Protected Parties shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Protected Parties under law or in equity: (i) the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Protected Parties and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Protected Parties; and (ii) the right and remedy to require the Seller Parties to pay to the Protected Parties all damages, losses, costs or expenses incurred by any Protected Party as the result of any action constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants. The Seller Parties shall be obligated to pay the costs of enforcement of this Agreement by any Protected Party in connection with either such remedy, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees and court costs.

12.3 Severability of Covenants. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable as to such Seller, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect as to such Seller Party, without regard to the invalid portions.

12.4 Blue-Penciling. It is expressly understood and agreed that although each Seller Party considers the Restrictive Covenants to be reasonable, if a judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against such Seller Party, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein.

12.5 Enforceability in Jurisdictions. The Purchaser and the Seller Parties intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of the Restrictive Covenants. If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive Covenants unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the Purchaser and the Seller Parties that such determination not bar or in any way affect the Purchaser’s right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of the Restrictive Covenants, as to breaches of the Restrictive Covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the Restrictive Covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

12.6 Change of Name. Within two days after the Closing Date, Seller shall file with the appropriate Secretaries of State to change its corporate name to one mutually agreed upon by the parties and Seller agrees that, from and after the Closing, Purchaser has the exclusive right to conduct business under the name “Medical Connections”, and Seller shall not use or seek to register in connection with any business, product or service such name or trademark, or any other trademark confusingly similar thereto.

12.9 Guaranty. MCH unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to Purchaser the full and prompt performance and any payment when due of any and all obligation or liability of it subsidiary the Seller owed to Purchaser arising under this Agreement or any ancillary agreements delivered in connection with this Agreement. This guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until all of Seller’s obligations have been performed or paid in full. MCH is directly and primarily liable to Purchaser independent of the obligations of Seller and the liability of MCH shall survive discharge or compromise of any obligation of Seller in bankruptcy or otherwise. Purchaser may from time to time modify, waive change or amend the terms of this Agreement and any modification, waiver, change or amendment will not affect the guaranty of MCH. MCH hereby waives notice of any and all modifications, waivers, changes or amendments of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement.
