The services to be rendered to the Practice by the Manager are solely for the purpose of providing non-medical management and administrative services to the Practice, so as to enable the Practice to devote its full time and energies to the professional conduct of its medical practice and provision of Medical Services to its patients and not to administration or practice management.

Section 6.2 Status of the Parties. It is expressly acknowledged that the parties hereto are “independent contractors.” Nothing herein is intended, and nothing shall be construed, to create an employer/employee, partnership or joint venture relationship between the Manager and the Practice, or to allow either to exercise control or direction over the manner or method by which the other performs the services that are the subject matter of this Agreement. The services to be provided hereunder, however, shall be furnished in a manner consistent with the standards governing such services and the provisions hereof. The Manager and the Practice understand and agree that (i) the other will not be treated as an employee for federal tax purposes, (ii) neither will withhold on behalf of the other any sums for income tax, unemployment insurance, social security, or any other withholding pursuant to any law or requirement of any governmental body or make available any of the benefits afforded to its employees, (iii) all of such payments, withholdings, and benefits, if any, are the sole responsibility of the party incurring the liability, and (iv) each will indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all loss or liability arising with respect to such payments, withholdings, and benefits, if any.

Section 6.4 Governing Law; Forum Selection. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Subject to Section 6.6 hereof, the federal and state courts located in San Francisco, California, shall be the exclusive venue for any arbitration, litigation, special proceeding, or other proceeding between the parties that may arise out of, or be brought in connection with or by reason of, this Agreement.

Section 6.5 Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

Any Dispute that has not been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties within thirty (30) days following written notice of the Dispute (or such additional time to which the parties may agree in writing) shall be resolved through arbitration administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) in San Francisco, California. The arbitration shall be held before a sole arbitrator and shall be conducted pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect (“JAMS Rules”) and under the authority of the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator shall have the power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of this arbitration provision or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. This arbitration provision shall be treated as an agreement independent of the other terms of the Agreement. The

arbitrator shall have the power to determine the validity of this Agreement. A decision by the arbitrator that this Agreement, or any part thereof, is null and void shall not for that reason alone render this Section 6.6 invalid. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on all parties to the Dispute, with no right of appeal. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. The costs of the arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fees, shall be borne equally by the parties. The arbitrator shall make a final award of legal costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and damages, if applicable, to the prevailing party.

Section 6.7 Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of a breach or violation of any provision hereof shall not operate as, or be construed to constitute, a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or another provision hereof.

Section 6.8 Enforcement. In the event either party resorts to legal action to enforce or interpret any provision hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover the costs and expenses of such action so incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Section 6.9 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is entered into by and between the parties hereto and for their benefit. Except as otherwise provided herein, there is no intent by either party to create or establish a third party beneficiary status or rights in any person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no such third party shall have any right to enforce or any right to enjoy any benefit created or established under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall be a third party beneficiary with respect to the Practice’s operations and any contracts (written or oral) or other arrangements to which the Practice is a party, to the extent reasonably required for, or relating to, Manager’s exercise and/or enforcement of its rights, responsibilities and authority under this Agreement.

Section 6.12 Consents, Approvals, and Exercise of Discretion. Whenever this Agreement requires any consent or approval to be given by either party, or either party must or may exercise discretion, and except where specifically set forth to the contrary, the parties agree that such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and that such discretion shall be reasonably exercised.

Section 6.13 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable or deemed to be in default for any delay or failure in performance hereunder or other interruption of service deemed to result, directly or indirectly, from acts of God, civil or military authority, acts of public enemy, war,

Section 6.14 Severability. The parties hereto have negotiated and prepared the terms hereof in good faith with the intent that each and every one of the terms, covenants and conditions herein be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective parties. Accordingly, if any one or more of the terms, provisions, promises, covenants or conditions hereof or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be adjudged to any extent invalid, unenforceable, void or voidable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitration tribunal, such provision shall be as narrowly construed as possible, and each and all of the remaining terms, provisions, promises, covenants and conditions hereof or their application to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent this Agreement is in violation of applicable law, then the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement, to the extent possible consistent with its purposes, to conform to law.
