ARTICLE V

FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS AND DISBURSEMENTS

5.1. Accounts Receivable. WellQuest shall purchase the accounts receivable of Practice on a monthly basis. The consideration for the purchase shall be the actual collections from the accounts receivable, but WellQuest shall make a monthly deposit toward the purchase of the accounts receivable by depositing, by the 10th day of each month, an amount equal to the expected Practice Revenues for the previous month’s services into the Practice Account. All collections in respect of such accounts receivable shall be deposited in the Practice’s Lockbox Account, which will be subject to a lockbox agreement, in form and substance as that required by the Medicare reassignment rules, instructing that the accounts be swept daily into WellQuest’s bank account with a qualified bank in Arkansas. To the extent Practice comes into possession of any payments in respect of such accounts receivable, Practice shall direct such payments to WellQuest for deposit in WellQuest’s bank account.

5.2. Flow of Funds.

(a) There shall be three (3) bank accounts set up for the Practice: the Practice Account, the Practice Payroll Account, and the Practice Lockbox Account.

(b) In order to ensure a sufficient flow of revenue into the Practice and to minimize the lag time between the Practice’s provision of medical services and its payment for those services, WellQuest agrees to purchase the Practice’s accounts receivable on a monthly basis, as set forth above in Section 5.1. WellQuest’s purchase price deposit for the previous month’s accounts receivable shall be made into the Practice Account. Since WellQuest will have already made the purchase price deposit into the Practice Account, any monies collected for the Practice from patients and third party payors shall be deposited into the Practice Lockbox Account, which shall be subject to a “sweep” order instructing that all funds be swept daily into WellQuest’s bank account. Actual collections shall be reconciled against WellQuest’s purchase price deposit on an on-going monthly basis.

(c) The Practice Account, which shall be funded by the purchase by WellQuest of the Practice’s accounts receivable, shall be in the Practice’s name, but WellQuest shall have signatory authority and shall make all disbursements therefrom. WellQuest shall account for all monies so disbursed from the Practice Account. From the funds in the Practice Account, WellQuest shall pay the following:

(i) $30,000 by the 15th day of each month following the month of services into the Practice Payroll Account; and

(ii) the Practice Expenses.

(d) In the event that WellQuest shall determine that the balance in the Practice Account will, at any time, be insufficient to fund the $30,000 monthly deposit into the Practice Payroll Account or to cover current Practice Expenses, then in such event:

(i) WellQuest shall fund the shortfall for the $30,000 Practice Payroll Account monthly deposit and/or shall pay such Practice Expenses (the “Physician Advances”). Physician Advances shall accrue interest until repaid at the rate of one percent (1%) in excess of the “U.S. Prime Rate” published in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal as determined on the first business day of each calendar month during the time of the indebtedness; and

(ii) WellQuest’s management fee, bonuses, and expenses paid by WellQuest shall accrue, and Practice shall pay such accrued but unpaid management fees, bonuses and expenses as the Practice’s cash flow improves.

(e) Physician Advances, any interest thereon, and accrued management fees and Practice Operating Expenses paid by WellQuest shall be repaid in succeeding months by an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of Practice Operating Profit for each such month until repaid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Practice remains obligated to repay all such Physician Advances and to reimburse all amounts owed to WellQuest regardless of whether there is a Practice Operating Profit.

5.3. Management Fees: WellQuest shall be compensated for its services as follows:

(a) a base management fee equal to 7.5% of the Practice Net Revenues; and

(b) a performance bonus for efficient management to be calculated as follows:

(i) a performance ratio (the “Performance Ratio”) will be calculated by dividing the Practice Operating Profit by the remainder of the Practice Net Revenue less Physician Advances and base management fee.

(ii) Practice shall receive all proceeds of the Practice Operating Profit up to a Performance Ratio of 1%.

(iii) WellQuest shall receive a performance bonus equal to $15,000 for each 1% increase in the Performance Ratio above the initial 1%, prorated for any partial percentage increases.

(iv) Practice shall receive the remaining amounts in the Practice Operating Profit after payment of the performance bonus to WellQuest.

ARTICLE VI

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

The parties recognize that the services to be provided by WellQuest shall be feasible only if Practice operates an active medical practice to which the physicians associated with Practice devote their full time and attention. To that end:

6.1. Restrictive Covenants by Practice. During the term of this Agreement and for a period up to twelve (12) months thereafter, neither Practice nor Physician Shareholder shall establish, operate or provide physician services at any medical office, practice or other health care facility providing services substantially similar to those provided by Practice pursuant to this Agreement anywhere within 25 miles of a WellQuest Center in northwestern Arkansas at which Practice provided services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (wherever located at such time). Practice and Physician Shareholder jointly and severally agree that in the event of a breach of this Section 6.1, among any and all other remedies that WellQuest may pursue as a result of such breach, Practice shall pay WellQuest an amount equal to the sum of the prior twelve (12) months’ compensation and benefits paid to its employees, as compensation for the investment of time and capital that WellQuest has made in connection with the provision of exclusive management services to the Practice and in recognition of the value of the trade secrets, confidential business information, and patient contacts provided by WellQuest to Practice and Physician Shareholder pursuant to the relationship created by this Agreement. Physician Shareholder joins this Agreement for purpose of agreeing to this Section 6.1.

6.2. Restrictive Covenants By Current Physician Shareholder and Physician Employees. Practice shall obtain and enforce formal agreements from its current Physician Shareholder and any current or future physician employees, other than Allied Health Professionals, pursuant to which the Physician Shareholder and physician employees agree not to establish, operate or provide physician services at any medical office, practice or outpatient and/or ambulatory treatment or diagnostic facility providing services substantially similar to those provided by Practice within 25 miles of the any WellQuest Center in northwestern Arkansas at which Practice provided services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (wherever located at such time) during the term of their employment and for a period of 12 months after any termination of employment with Practice. In the event of a breach of this Section 6.2, among any and all other remedies that WellQuest may pursue as a result of such breach, the Physician Shareholder or the breaching physician employee, as the case may be, shall pay to WellQuest an amount equal to the prior twelve (12) months’ compensation and benefits paid to such Physician Shareholder or physician employees, as applicable, as compensation for the investment of time and capital that WellQuest has made in connection with the provision of exclusive management services to the Practice, and in recognition of the value of the trade secrets, confidential business information, and patient contacts provided by WellQuest to Practice and the Physician Employees pursuant to the relationship created by this Agreement. WellQuest shall be a third party beneficiary of any restrictive covenants contained in the employment contracts between Practice and Physician Employees.

6.4. Enforcement. WellQuest and Practice acknowledge and agree that since a remedy at law for any breach or attempted breach of the provisions of this Article VI shall be inadequate, either party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in case of any such breach or attempted breach, in addition to whatever other remedies may exist by law. All parties hereto also waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief. If any provision of Article VI relating to the restrictive period, scope of activity restricted and/or the territory described therein shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period, scope of activity restricted or geographical area such court deems reasonable and enforceable under applicable law, the time period, scope of activity restricted and/or area of restriction held reasonable and enforceable by the court shall thereafter be the restrictive period, scope of activity restricted and/or the territory applicable to the restrictive covenant provisions in this Article VI. The invalidity or non-enforceability of this Article VI in any respect shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Article VI or of any other provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

7.1. Insurance to be Maintained by Practice. Throughout the term of this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Article IV providing for malpractice premiums and deductibles to be a Practice Operating Expense, Practice shall maintain comprehensive professional liability insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per claim and with aggregate policy limits of not less than $3,000,000 per physician and a separate limit for Practice. Practice shall be responsible for all such liabilities in excess of the limits of such policies. WellQuest shall have the option of providing such professional liability insurance through an alternative program, provided such program meets the requirements of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Arkansas. WellQuest shall reimburse Practice for any unearned professional liability insurance premiums paid by Practice to the extent not reimbursed or reimbursable by Practice’s insurance carrier if Practice’s existing professional liability insurance program is cancelled and replaced by a comparable professional liability insurance program initiated by WellQuest.

7.2. Insurance to be Maintained by WellQuest. Throughout the term of this Agreement, WellQuest will use reasonable efforts to provide and maintain, as a Practice Operating Expense, (a) comprehensive professional liability insurance for all professional employees of WellQuest with limits as determined reasonable by WellQuest in its national program and (b) comprehensive general liability and property insurance covering the Practice premises and operations.

7.3. Tail Insurance Coverage. Practice will cause each individual physician who associates with Practice after the date hereof to enter into an agreement with Practice that upon termination of such physician’s relationship with Practice, for any reason, tail insurance coverage will be purchased by the individual physician. Such provisions may be contained in employment agreements, restrictive covenant agreements or other agreements entered into by Practice and the individual physicians, and Practice hereby covenants with WellQuest to enforce such provisions relating to the tail insurance coverage or to provide such coverage at the expense of Practice. The cost of tail insurance coverage for physicians who are currently associated with Practice shall be a Practice Operating Expense; provided, that the cost of tail insurance coverage for any physician who is an employee of Practice and is serving as a Medical Director under a written contract with WellQuest at the time of termination of this Agreement shall be shared equally by WellQuest and the physician if such termination was pursuant to Section 8.3(c) of this Agreement.

7.4. Indemnification. Practice shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend WellQuest, its officers, directors, shareholders and employees, from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claim, causes of action, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), whether or not covered by insurance, caused or asserted to have been caused, directly or indirectly, by or as a result of the performance of medical services or any other acts or omissions by Practice and/or its shareholders, agents, employees and/or subcontractors (other than WellQuest) during the term hereof. WellQuest shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Practice, its officers, directors, shareholders and employees, from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claim, causes of action, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), caused or asserted to have been caused, directly or indirectly, by or as a result of the performance of any intentional acts, negligent acts or omissions by WellQuest and/or its shareholders, agents, employees and/or subcontractors (other than Practice) during the term of this Agreement.

b. Medical Information. This Sublease does not give Practice, WellQuest or Owner any right to inspect, copy or use another’s Protected Health Information. In exercising its inspection rights, WellQuest and Owner shall give due regard to the legitimate privacy rights of Practice patients who are on the Premises when the inspection occurs.

21. Insurance.

a. Through the entire Term, Practice shall maintain, at its sole cost and expense, the following types of insurance in the amounts specified and in the form hereinafter provided for:

1. General Liability. Commercial general liability insurance covering Practice and all physicians who use the Premises, against claims for personal injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Premises, Land or Building. Such insurance shall have limits of not less than $1,000,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence for personal injury to or death of any number of persons arising out of any one occurrence, and $1,000,000 (for physicians, but $3,000,000 for Practice) for property damage arising out of any one occurrence. Practice’s insurance coverage required under this Subsection shall include coverage for liability hazards as defined in the policy forms and endorsements for premises and operations liability, personal injury liability, terrorism, products and completed operations liability, broad property damage liability and contractual liability, which shall extend to any liability of Practice arising out of the indemnities granted under this Lease.

2. Casualty. Throughout the entire Term, Practice shall maintain “All Risk” or “Fire and Extended Coverage” property insurance covering Practice’s trade fixtures and personal property, and the trade fixtures and personal property of all physicians that are located on or about the Premises, and all leasehold improvements to the Premises which Practice is required to maintain or repair. Such insurance shall be carried at the replacement cost of the insured property, and shall provide protection against perils that are covered under standard insurance industry practices within the classification of “All Risk” or “Fire and Extended Coverage” property insurance, including but not limited to, loss or damage from fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, civil commotion, aircraft, vehicles, smoke, water damage, collapse, sprinkler leakage, vandalism, malicious mischief, terrorism, earthquake and flood.

3. Worker Compensation. If Practice has employees or leased employees, worker compensation insurance.

b. All such insurance policies shall be maintained on an “Occurrence,” not “Claims Made,” basis with financially responsible insurance companies that are acceptable to WellQuest and that are authorized to insure risks in the State of Arkansas. Such insurance shall be issued in the name of Practice or the applicable physician, with WellQuest and Owner named as additional insureds on all such policies. Practice shall promptly deliver to WellQuest a certificate or certificates (i) listing the insurers and policy numbers, for all of the insurance required to be maintained under this Sublease, (ii) warranting that said insurance is in full force and effect and that such insurance and the policies evidencing the same comply with the requirements of this Sublease; and (iii) containing an endorsement that the insurer will not cancel, amend or fail to renew the policy without notifying WellQuest and Practice by certified or registered mail at least thirty (30) days in advance of such cancellation or amendment. If Practice fails to procure any insurance required hereunder, or fails to maintain the insurance in force continuously during the term, WellQuest has the option, but not the obligation, to procure such insurance for Practice, and Practice shall immediately reimburse WellQuest for the cost of such insurance on written demand.

22. Untenantability. If the Premises or the Building are, in whole or in part, made untenantable by fire or other casualty, WellQuest may elect:

a. To terminate this Sublease as of the date of the fire or casualty by notice to Practice within 60 days after the occurrence; or

b. To commence repair or reconstruction of the Building or the Premises at WellQuest's expense within 90 days after WellQuest is enabled to take possession of and to commence such repairs or reconstruction of the damaged Building or Premises, in which case the Lease shall not terminate but rent shall be abated on a per diem basis while a substantial part of the Premises is untenantable. If, however, Practice occupies part of the Premises during such repairs or reconstruction, Practice shall pay rent for the part of the Premises that it occupies. If WellQuest elects so to repair or reconstruct the Building or the Premises and does not substantially complete the work within 180 days after such repairs or reconstruction is commenced, either party may terminate this Sublease as of the date of the fire or casualty by notice to the other party not later than 210 days after such repairs or reconstruction begins.

In the event of termination of the Sublease pursuant to this Section, Rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and paid to the date of the fire or casualty. In no event shall WellQuest be liable any damages to any Practice Person resulting from any fire or casualty to the Building or the Premises, or from any repair or reconstruction of the Premises.

23. Eminent Domain. If the whole or any substantial part of the Premises is taken or condemned for any public use or purpose, the Term shall end when, and not before, the possession of the part so taken is taken by the authority that takes the property. Rent for the month in which the taking occurs shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If part but not all of the Premises is taken or condemned, so that Practice may continue to occupy the Premises not taken, the Base Rent and Practice’s Share shall be reduced pro rata based on the net rentable area of the Premises so taken. The entire condemnation award shall be the property of WellQuest without apportionment to Practice. Practice shall not claim or have any right to compensation for the condemnation of Practice’s leasehold, but may claim a right to compensation for the condemnation of Practice’s movable tangible personal property.

24. Surrender of Premises. At the end of the Term, Practice immediately shall surrender peaceable possession of the Premises and deliver the Premises to WellQuest in as good repair and condition as at the commencement of Practice's occupancy, reasonable wear and tear and damage or destruction by fire or other casualty (that is not caused by a Practice Person) excepted. Practice shall deliver all keys and access cards to the Premises to WellQuest. If possession is not immediately surrendered, WellQuest may take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Practice and any other person occupying all or a portion of the Premises by force if necessary, without having civil or criminal liability.

25. Brokers. Neither party was represented by a broker in connection with this transaction. Each party shall indemnify and defend the other party against all claims for a commission arising out of this Sublease.

26. Right to Enforce. To the extent that any of WellQuest’s obligations are required to be performed by Owner, Practice shall rely on and look solely to Owner for the performance thereof. WellQuest may, in its option and sole discretion (but shall not have any liability for failing to do so):

a. Perform any duty of Owner. In such event, WellQuest shall have the full right to receive the performance of such duty, or payment therefor, either from Owner or (if permitted by the Base Lease) Practice;

b. Perform any duty of Practice under this Sublease or under the Base Lease and for that purpose WellQuest or its contractors may enter the Premises at any time. If WellQuest performs any Practice duty, Practice shall pay to WellQuest as Additional Rent (i) the entire direct cost of such performance, (ii) WellQuest’s reasonable attorney and management fees and (iii) interest on the sum of (i and ii) at 15% per annum. Neither WellQuest nor Owner shall be liable for any damage to the Premises or to any property, or for any loss of use of Premises, relating to any action described in this Subsection (b); or

c. Assign any right described in this Sublease to Owner, and in such event WellQuest shall have no liability for any action or inaction of Owner.

27. Default. Each of the following events is an Event of Default under this Sublease:

a. Practice fails to pay any installment of Rent exactly as and when due.

b. Either party fails to comply with any material non-payment term of this Sublease other than the payment of Rent and does not cure such failure within 30 days after written notice thereof to that party.

c. Either party fails to comply with any material term of the Base Lease with respect to the Premises, and does not cure such failure within any notice period described in the Base Lease.

d. Practice becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in fraud of creditors, ceases paying its obligations generally or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

e. Practice files a petition under any section or chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended.

f. An order, judgment or decree is entered by any court of competent jurisdiction on the application of a creditor adjudicating Practice bankrupt or insolvent, or approving a petition seeking Practice’s reorganization or appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of Practice, or of substantially all of Practice's assets, and such order, judgment or decree continues unstayed and in effect for any period of thirty (30) consecutive days.

g. A receiver or trustee is appointed for all or substantially all of Practice’s assets.

h. A levy, execution or attachment is made on Practice or any of Practice's property, and is not vacated or removed by court order, bonding or otherwise within a period of thirty (30) days after it is made.

i. Practice abandons or vacates any substantial portion of the Premises for a period of ten (10) days.

j. Practice does or permits to be done anything which creates a lien upon the Premises.

k. Practice states, in writing, that any part of this Sublease is invalid, is unenforceable or is not the Parties’ agreement.

l. An Event of Default by Practice occurs under the Management and Medical Services Agreement, the Medical Director Services Agreement or a material default occurs under any other agreement between the Parties.

WellQuest shall not be in default under this Sublease unless Practice gives WellQuest a notice specifying WellQuest’s failure to perform this Sublease and, within 30 days thereafter, WellQuest does not take reasonable steps to cure the breach.

28. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default by one party, the other party shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any notice or demand whatsoever:

a. Declare all future Rent for the remainder of the Term to be accelerated and to be payable immediately.

b. Terminate this Sublease, in which event Practice xxxXx immediately surrender the Premises to WellQuest. If Practice fails to surrender the Premises after the Sublease is terminated, WellQuest may enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Practice and any other person who may be occupying any part of the Premises, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages as a result of such actoin. Practice shall pay to WellQuest on demand the full amount of all loss and damage which WellQuest may suffer by reason of such termination and removal, whether through inability to relet the Premises on satisfactory terms or otherwise.

c. After entering upon and take possession of the Premises and expeling or removing Practice and any other person who may be occupying any part of the Premises, attempt to relet the Premises on such terms as WellQuest may deem advisable and receive the rent therefor; and Practice agrees to pay to WellQuest on demand any deficiency in Rent for the remainder of the Term that may arise by reason of such reletting (after deducting all make-ready, alteration and renovation costs, broker fees, interest and other amounts incurred by WellQuest to cause the Premises to be relet).

d. Exercise any right or remedy of the lessor under the Base Lease.

e. WellQuest may xxx for and collect Rent, or damages from Practice’s breach, without terminating the Sublease.

f. If, on account of any breach or default by Practice in its obligations hereunder, WellQuest employs an attorney to enforce or defend any of WellQuest’s rights or remedies hereunder, Practice shall pay, as additional Rent, all reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred by WellQuest in such connection.

g. Practice shall pay to WellQuest, as Additional Rent, interest at the rate of 15% per annum on all Rent due WellQuest that is not paid within five (5) days after such Rent becomes due and payable, such interest to accrue from the date such payment is due and payable. (Interest on interest is not, however, payable to WellQuest by Practice.)

h. WellQuest may recover from Practice, as Additional Rent, all damages owing to Owner as a direct or indirect result of Practice’s breach.

i. WellQuest may exercise any or all other rights or remedies which it may have for possession, rent, arrearages in rent, damages, other remedies under this Sublease or under the Base Lease, in law, by statute or at equity.

All remedies are cumulative and may be taken in any order selected by WellQuest. If WellQuest elects to re-enter or take possession of the Premises, Practice waives notice of such re-entry or repossession and of WellQuest’s intent to re-enter or retake possession. The pursuit of any remedy shall not constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any Rent due to WellQuest or of any damages accruing to WellQuest by reason of any breach of any of this Sublease. WellQuest’s waiver of or forbearance to enforce one or more of its remedies for an Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of such Event of Default or of a waiver or forbearance with respect to any other remedy. The loss or damage which WellQuest may suffer by reason of termination of this Sublease or the deficiency arising by reason of any reletting by WellQuest shall include the expense of repossession and any repairs or remodeling undertaken by WellQuest following repossession and until the end of the Regular Term. No reentry of the Premises by WellQuest shall constitute an election by WellQuest to terminate this Sublease unless WellQuest specifically notifies Practice in writing that the Sublease has been terminated. Practice, for the purposes of this Sublease, waives any and all stay and homestead laws of the State of Arkansas.

29. WellQuest’s Security Interest.

x. Xxxxx. In addition to the statutory Landlord’s lien, but subject to the lien of any source of purchase money financing procured at any time by Practice for the acquisition of equipment, fixtures, inventory or supplies, (which purchase money security interest must be properly and timely perfected to be superior to WellQuest’s lien), Practice grants to WellQuest a continuing security interest in all of Practice’s Accounts, Inventory, Equipment, Supplies, Contract Rights, General Intangibles, Contract Rights, Tenant Improvements, Fixtures, proceeds and products of any such collateral, and all such collateral now existing or hereafter acquired. All of such items of property (including, without limitation, proceeds and products) are referenced as the “Collateral.”

b. Secured Indebtedness. The Collateral secures payment of all Rent and secures payment of all damages or losses that WellQuest may suffer by reason of any breach by Practice of this Sublease. None of the Collateral shall be removed from the Premises without WellQuest’s consent until Practice has paid all arrearages in Rent and has performed all the terms of this Sublease.

c. Remedies. After any Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies that either party has, WellQuest may, at its option:

1. Have and exercise all of the rights of a secured party under the Arkansas Uniform Commercial Code;

2. Enter upon the Premises and take possession of all Collateral without liability for trespass or conversion; and

3. Sell the Collateral at one or more commercially reasonable public sales, in one or several lots, with or without having such property at the sale, after giving Practice reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale is to be made. At any such sale, WellQuest or its assigns may purchase Collateral unless otherwise prohibited by law. Unless otherwise required by law, and without intending to exclude any other manner of giving Practice reasonable notice, the requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given in the manner prescribed in this Sublease for other notices at least 10 days before the time of sale.

d. Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds from any such sale, less all expenses connected with the taking of possession of, holding and selling the Collateral (including reasonable attorney fees and other expenses), shall be applied as a credit against the secured indebtedness. Any surplus shall be paid to Practice or as otherwise required by law. Practice shall pay all deficiencies immediately as Additional Rent.

e. Financing Statement. Upon request by WellQuest, Practice shall execute and deliver to WellQuest financing statements in a form sufficient to perfect WellQuest’s security interests under the provisions of the Arkansas Uniform Commercial Code. A photocopy of this Sublease may be filed as a financing statement.

f. Statutory Lien. WellQuest's statutory lien for rent is not waived. The security interest granted in this Section is in addition to such statutory lien.

30. Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) days after WellQuest requests a statement described in this Section, Practice shall execute and deliver to WellQuest a statement, in writing and in form and substance satisfactory to WellQuest, certifying (a) that this Sublease is in full force and effect, (b) the ending date of the Term, (c) that all Rent is paid currently without any offset or defense, except as noted therein (d) the amount of Rent, if any, paid in advance, (e) any amendments to this Sublease, (f) that there are no uncured defaults by Owner or WellQuest or stating in reasonable detail those defaults claimed by Practice, and (g) such other matters as may be reasonably requested by WellQuest.

31. No Required Referrals. This Lease is not based on the value or volume of referrals, or the promise or anticipation of any referrals, from one party to the other. Neither Party is required to make any referral to the other party at any time.

32. Notices. All notices required under this Sublease shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be properly served if delivered personally or if sent by Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested to WellQuest at the address stated below in the signature section of this Sublease with a simultaneous copy to the last address where rent was paid, or to Practice at the address of the Premises, until such time as either Party shall advise the other in writing as to a different mailing address. The effective date of mailed notices shall be the date stamped on the envelope by the United States Post Office Department. The Parties shall not refuse to accept delivery of said notices.

33. Holding Over Does Not Extend Sublease.

a. Holding Over. If Practice remains in possession of any part of the Premises after the end of the Term without the execution of a new Lease by WellQuest, Practice shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a holdover tenant subject to all of the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Sublease, EXCEPT that the amount of monthly rental to be paid during each month or partial month of the holdover shall be two times the amount of the monthly Rent installment payable for the last full calendar month immediately preceding the expiration of the Term and Practice hereby indemnifies WellQuest and HQ from any and all losses, liabilities, costs, fees (including attorney’s fees), damages, judgments or expenses WellQuest or HQ may incur as a consequence of the holdover. In no event shall this Subsection be deemed to authorize any holding over by Practice. WellQuest may require Practice to leave the Premises immediately upon the end of the Term or at any time thereafter.

b. Money Received After Termination. No receipt of money by WellQuest from Practice after the termination of this Lease (however such termination may occur), service of any notice, commencement of any suit or final judgment for possession, shall reinstate, continue or extend the term of this Lease, affect any such notice, demand, suit or judgment, or extend Practice's right of possession to any part of the Premises.

34. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance by the parties of each term, covenant and condition of this Sublease.

35. Binding Effect. This Sublease shall inure to the benefit of and shall bind the successors and assigns of the parties. Practice shall, however, not have any right to assign, mortgage or otherwise encumber the Premises or this Sublease or to further sublease the Premises except as expressly permitted in advance in writing by WellQuest.

36. Severability. Should any clause or provision of this Sublease be held invalid or void for any reason, such invalid or void clause or provision shall be enforced to maximum extent allowed by law and the deletion of the invalid or void portion of this Sublease shall not affect the remaining terms of this Sublease, but the balance of the provisions of this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect.

37. Interpretation. This Sublease shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, Arkansas law. Captions are inserted for ease of reference and are not to be used to interpret the text.

38. Entire Agreement. This Sublease states the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the all elements of the sublease by Practice of the Premises. There are no “side deals,” and there are no terms or conditions relative to the sublease which are not stated in this document. All attached Exhibits are incorporated into this Sublease by reference.

Wherefore, the parties have executed this Sublease on the day and year first above written.

BACKGROUND:

The parties hereto have entered into that certain Management and Medical Services Agreement as of the date hereof pursuant to which, among other matters, the parties agreed to enter into this Agreement, because Practice desires to contract with WellQuest, and WellQuest wishes to contract with Practice, for the provision of employees and services incidental to employee payroll, benefits, supervision and management;

6. Conduct of Practice. Practice covenants and agrees to obey all federal, state and local statutes regarding treatment of employees in a business situation. While the parties hereto recognize and affirm that the employees leased to Practice are the employees of WellQuest, Practice covenants and agrees not to conduct itself in any manner such as to make WellQuest liable for, or subject to any racial or sexual discrimination charges, wage and hour violations or any such other offenses for which WellQuest may be liable for damages or fines, or subject to criminal prosecution, without WellQuest’s knowledge or consent.

7. Indemnification by Practice. Practice agrees to indemnify and hold WellQuest harmless for any and all expenses, including all reasonable attorney's fees and the costs of defense of any actions brought against WellQuest by any party as a result of any actions, whether intentional or negligent, or any failure to act on the part of Practice, or for any actions, whether intentional or negligent, or any failure to act on the part of any or all employees of WellQuest if such actions or failures to act result in legal or regulatory action being brought against WellQuest. Practice hereby agrees to indemnify and hold WellQuest harmless for all of the above related expenses, and also for any judgment or fine which might be levied or adjudged against WellQuest as a result of Practice's actions or failures to act, or as a result of WellQuest’s employees' actions or failures to act.

11. Breach. In the event that Practice fails to make any payments due to be paid to WellQuest hereunder or fails to comply with any other terms of this Agreement, and it becomes necessary for WellQuest to retain the services of any attorney to enforce the terms of this Agreement, then Practice shall be liable to WellQuest for all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in enforcing the terms of this Agreement together with all costs incident thereto.

12. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors, heirs and assigns of the parties hereto.

13. Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that WellQuest may assign this Agreement to any of its affiliates without the prior written consent of Practice.
