(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
26
counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(e) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Selling Stockholders, jointly and severally, and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company, the Selling Stockholders and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Selling Stockholders, jointly and severally, and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by each of them, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the
27
Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company or the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (e), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (e).
(f) The liability of each Selling Stockholder under such Selling Stockholder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 1 hereof and under the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 shall be limited to an amount equal to the initial public offering price of the Securities sold by such Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters. The Company and the Selling Stockholders may agree, as among themselves and without limiting the rights of the Underwriters under this Agreement, as to the respective amounts of such liability for which they each shall be responsible.
9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Selling Stockholders or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9,
28
the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company, the Selling Stockholders and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the Nasdaq Global Market or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on either of such exchanges, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption has occurred in securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers, of each Selling Stockholder and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any Selling Stockholder or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the Citigroup Global Markets Inc. General Counsel (fax no.: (000) 000-0000) and confirmed to the General Counsel, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000, Attention: General Counsel; or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to CardioNet, Inc.

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof and their respective successors. No other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
29
14. No fiduciary duty. The Company and the Selling Stockholders hereby acknowledge that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other, (b) the Underwriters are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company or the Selling Stockholders and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company and the Selling Stockholders agree that they are solely responsible for making their own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company or any Selling Stockholder on related or other matters). The Company and the Selling Stockholders agree that they will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or any of the Selling Stockholders, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
15. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
16. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.
17. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company and the Selling Stockholders hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

This letter is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among CardioNet, Inc.

In order to induce you and the other Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned or any person in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for such capital stock, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period (the “Lock-Up Period”) beginning on the date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending on, and including, the date that is 180 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement.
If (i) the Company issues an earnings release or material news, or a material event relating to the Company occurs, during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that
it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the restrictions imposed by this agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, unless Citigroup Global Markets Inc. waives, in writing, such extension. The undersigned hereby acknowledges that the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to provide written notice of any event that would result in an extension of the Lock-Up Period and agrees that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have given to, and received by, the undersigned.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this agreement, the undersigned may transfer Common Stock (i) in the Offering as a selling stockholder, (ii) acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, (iii) to a family member or trust, (iv) by bona fide gift, will or intestacy, or (v) to partners, members, stockholders or affiliates of the undersigned; provided that in connection with the transactions listed in (ii)-(v) above, no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than a filing made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period) and provided further that in connection with the transactions listed in (iii)-(v) above, the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this agreement prior to such transfer. In addition, the undersigned may establish a written plan for trading securities pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided that such plan does not provide for the disposition, during the Lock-Up Period, of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for such capital stock. Furthermore, no provision in this agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the exercise or exchange by the undersigned of any option or warrant to acquire shares of Common Stock, or securities exchangeable or exerciseable for or convertible into Common Stock, provided that the undersigned does not transfer the Common Stock acquired on such exercise or exchange during the Lock-Up Period, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of this agreement.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that (i) at any time subsequent to the execution of this Lock-up Agreement the undersigned is not required to make any filings under Section 16 or Sections 13(d) or (g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to any shares of Common Stock, and (ii) the undersigned has entered into or will enter into an agreement similar to this Lock-up Agreement (a) in connection with a bona fide issuer directed share program relating to the underwritten public offering of Common Stock (a “DSP Program”) with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be purchased in such DSP Program (the “DSP Shares”) and (b) with any member of the underwriting syndicate or any affiliate of such member who is acting as administrator of such DSP Program, the terms of such other similar lock-up agreement and not of this Lock-up Agreement shall govern the undersigned’s rights with respect to such DSP Shares.

Exhibit B
OPINION XXXXXX GODWARD KRONISH LLP
1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with requisite corporate power to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and Prospectus. PDSHeart has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with requisite corporate power to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and Prospectus. PDS LLC has been duly formed and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with requisite limited liability company power to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and Prospectus.
2. The Company, PDSHeart and PDS LLC are each duly qualified to do business as a foreign business entity and in good standing under the laws of the states identified on Exhibit B hereof.
3. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, as of the date set forth under the caption “Capitalization” in the Disclosure Package and Prospectus, was as set forth therein; as of the Closing, the Company’s authorized capital stock consists of shares of Common Stock, of which shares are issued and outstanding, and shares of Preferred Stock, none of which are issued or outstanding; the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, as of the date specified under the caption “Capitalization” in the Disclosure Package and Prospectus and as of the Closing have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. All of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of PDSHeart have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are held of record by the Company directly. All of the outstanding membership interests of PDS LLC have been duly and validly authorized and issued, and are held of record by the Company directly.
4. The Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
5. The holders of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are not entitled to preemptive rights under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or to rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for the Securities under any contract or agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or Prospectus. Except as set forth in the section captioned “Capitalization” in the Disclosure Package and Prospectus as of the date stated therein, to our knowledge, as of such date, there were no options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire any shares of capital stock of the
Company. As of the Closing, there are no options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire any shares of the capital stock of the Company other than warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock and options to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Company’s 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, as of the Closing there are shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance to key employees and consultants of the Company under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan and 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.
6. To our knowledge, there is (i) no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or other governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator pending or overtly threatened to which the Company, PDSHeart, PSD LLC or their respective properties is a party of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, Disclosure Package or Prospectus that is not disclosed in the Registration Statement, Disclosure Package or Prospectus as required by the Act and the rules thereunder, and (ii) no indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan or other agreement or instrument of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, which is not filed as required by the Act and the rules thereunder.
7. The statements in the Disclosure Package and Prospectus under the headings “Description of Capital Stock,” and “Shares Eligible for Future Sale,” and in the Registration Statement in Item 14, insofar as such statements purport to summarize legal matters, agreements or documents discussed therein, fairly present, to the extent required by the Act and the rules thereunder, in all material respects, such legal matters, agreements or documents. The statements in the Prospectus under the heading “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders,” to the extent that they constitute matters of U.S. federal income tax laws and legal conclusions with respect thereto, are accurate in all material respects.
8. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or overtly threatened. Any required filing of the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b). Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule III to the Agreement required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, has been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433(d).
9. The Registration Statement, Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and notes thereto or other financial or statistical data derived therefrom, as to which we express no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the rules thereunder.
10. The Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.
11. The Company is not, and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Registration
5
Statement, Disclosure Package and Prospectus, will not be, an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
12. No consent, approval, authorization or filing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and no consent, approval, authorization or filing with or order of any U.S. Federal, California or New York court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company is required for the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, except such as have been obtained under the Act and except such as may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters the manner contemplated by the Agreement and in the Registration Statement, Disclosure Package and Prospectus, or under the bylaws, rules and regulations of the FINRA.
13. The issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant to the Agreement will not result in a breach or violation of (i) the charter or bylaws of the Company or PDSHeart or the certificate of formation or operating agreement of PDSHeart, PSD LLC, (ii) the terms of any Material Contract; or (iii) any statute, law, rule, or regulation which, in our experience is typically applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Agreement and is applicable to the Company, PDSHeart or PDSHeart, PSD LLC, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, or award that has been entered against the Company, PDSHeart or PDSHeart, PSD LLC and of which we are aware, in the case of clause (ii) the breach or violation of which would materially and adversely affect the Company.
14. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the Registration Statement, Disclosure Package or Prospectus, no holders of securities of the Company have rights to require the registration under the Act of resales of such securities.
***********************
We have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and with its independent registered public accounting firm, as well as with representatives of the Underwriters and their counsel. At such conferences, the contents of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed. We have not independently verified, and accordingly we are not confirming and assume no responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (except as set forth in paragraphs 3 and 7 above). On the basis of the foregoing, nothing has come to our attention that has caused us to believe (i) that the Registration Statement (except as to financial statements and schedules, related notes and other financial and statistical data derived therefrom, as to which we express no comment), at the date and time the Registration Statement became effective, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) that the Disclosure Package (except as to financial statements and schedules, related notes and other financial and statistical data derived therefrom, as to which we express no
6
comment), as of the Time of Sale contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) that the Prospectus (except as to financial statements and schedules, related notes and other financial and statistical data derived therefrom, as to which we express no comment) as of its date or dates as amended or supplemented, if applicable, and as of the Closing contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

To our knowledge: (i) the Company is not infringing or otherwise violating, and, upon the commercialization and sale of the Company’s products or services described in the Registration Statement as under development, would not infringe or otherwise violate, any patents, trade secrets, trademarks or other proprietary rights, information or materials of others, and we are unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for a claim of any such infringement or violation; and (ii) there are no infringements by others of any of the Intellectual Property, trade secrets or other proprietary rights, information or materials of the Company which in our judgment would materially adversely affect the Company, and we are unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for a claim of any such infringement. |

We have no knowledge of any facts that would preclude the Company from having ownership of (and a right to practice or use) the subject matter described in the Intellectual Property described in the Registration Statement as owned by the Company; to our knowledge, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, there are no rights of third parties to such Intellectual Property; we have no knowledge that the Company lacks or will be unable to obtain any rights or licenses to use all patents and other material intangible property and assets that are necessary to conduct the business now conducted or proposed to be conducted by the Company as described in the Intellectual Property Sections of the Registration Statement, except as disclosed therein; and we are unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for a finding of unenforceability or invalidity of any of the Intellectual Property and other material intellectual property and assets of the Company, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement: “For example, with respect to one of [the Company’s] U.S. patents, [the Company has] a corresponding foreign patent, the claims of which were amended substantially more so than in the U.S., to overcome art that was of record in |
|
|
|
the U.S. patent.”
While we have not participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company to discuss the contents of the Registration Statement and related matters (although in the course of our representation of the Company we have reviewed the Intellectual Property Sections and had general discussions regarding certain of the matters discussed therein) and while we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, subject to and on the basis of the limitations contained herein, no facts have come to our attention that causes us to believe that (i) the Intellectual Property Sections included in the Registration Statement, at the Effective Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Intellectual Property Sections included in the Disclosure Package, as of [6:00] P.M., New York City time, on , 2008, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) the Intellectual Property Sections included in the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus and as of the date hereof, included or include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Exhibit D
OPINION OF XXXXXX XXXXX & XXXX LLP
1. To our current actual knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending relating to patent rights, trade secrets or other intellectual property of the Company (other than the Pending Litigation and normal processing of the Company’s patent and trademark applications before applicable authorities), and except for the Disclosed Third Party Notices, we have no current actual knowledge that any such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or others.
2. Except for the Disclosed Third Party Notices, we have no current actual knowledge of any assertions that the Company is infringing or otherwise violating the valid claim of any issued patents or other intellectual property rights of any third party.

Exhibit E
OPINION OF ARENT FOX LLP
The information in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus under the headings (a) “Risk Factors — Risks related to our business and industry — We and the physicians with whom we work are dependent upon reimbursement for the fees associated with our services; the absence or inadequacy of reimbursement would cause our revenues to fail to grow or decrease”; (b) “Risk Factors — Risks related to our business and industry — Reimbursement by Medicare is highly regulated and subject to change; our failure to comply with applicable regulations, could decrease our revenues and may subject us to penalties or have an adverse impact on our business”; (c) “Risk Factors — Risks related to our business and industry — Reimbursement for the CardioNet System by Medicare and other commercial payors is complicated by the lack of a specific Current Procedural Terminology, or CPT, code, which may result in lower prescription rates or varying reimbursement rates”; (d) “Risk Factors — Risks related to our business and industry — We may be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal and state health care fraud and abuse laws and regulations and, if we are unable to fully comply with such laws, could face substantial penalties”; (e) “Risk Factors — Risks related to our business and industry — The operation of our call centers and monitoring facilities is subject to rules and regulations governing Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities; failure to comply with these rules could prevent us from receiving reimbursement from Medicare and some commercial payors”; (f) “Risk Factors — Risks related to our business and industry — We may be subject to federal and state false claims laws which impose substantial penalties”; (g) “Business — Reimbursement — CardioNet System”; (h) “Business — Government Regulation — Health Care Fraud and Abuse”; and (i) “Business — Government Regulation — Medicare and Medicaid,” insofar as such statements constitute a summary of matters of law relating to the Regulatory Issues (collectively, the “Regulatory Information”), at the time the Registration Statement became effective, as of the date of the Prospectus and on the date hereof, were and are accurate in all material respects and presented and present fairly the information referred to therein in all material respects.
Nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Regulatory Information (except for financial or statistical data included therein or omitted therefrom as to which we express no opinion) included in the Registration Statement, as of the Effective Date or as of the Closing Date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Regulatory Information (except for financial or statistical data included therein or omitted therefrom as to which we express no opinion) included in the Prospectus (as of its date or as of the Closing Date), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or that the Regulatory Information (except for financial or statistical data included therein or omitted therefrom as to which we express no opinion) contained in the Disclosure Package (at the Execution Time) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
