          This letter agreement sets forth the commitment of Xxxxxx Xxxx (“Investor”), subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, to purchase certain equity interests of India Investment Company, a Delaware corporation (“Investment Co.”) and debt securities of Ayelet Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”). It is contemplated that, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) to be entered into among Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Parent and Ayelet Merger Subsidiary, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

          1. Commitment. Investor hereby commits, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, that, simultaneous with the Closing, he shall (i) purchase, or cause the purchase of, equity interests of Investment Co. for an aggregate amount equal to $3,250,000.00 million (the “Cash Portion”), (ii) purchase, or cause the purchase of, 12.5% unsecured subordinated notes of Parent for an aggregate amount equal to $1,880,000.00 (the “Debt Portion”) and (iii) contribute, or cause the contribution of, to Parent $839,800 of equity, comprised of 218,130 shares of common stock in the Company beneficially owned by Investor as of the date hereof (the “Rollover Portion”, and together with the Cash Portion and the Debt Portion, collectively, the “Commitment”), solely for the purpose of funding a portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, together with related expenses. The amount of the Commitment to be funded under this letter agreement may be reduced in an amount specified by Investment Co. but only to the extent that
