(a)            Upon Company's delivery of a Quarterly Revenue Report showing Quarterly Revenue greater than or equal to $25,000,000, Purchaser shall be entitled to submit an individual (such person, the "Board Candidate") for consideration as a candidate for appointment or nomination for election to the Company Board in accordance with this Section 7.  Purchaser's submission of the Board Candidate shall be in writing, and Purchaser shall provide such information about the Board Candidate as Company reasonably requests consistent with its customary director candidacy review process, including all information relating to such Board Candidate that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, and including such Board Candidate's written consent to serve as a director if appointed or elected and such Board Candidate's agreement, enforceable by and in a form acceptable to Company, to resign timely from the Company Board if requested by Purchaser at the direction of Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c).  Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7, Company shall cause the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company Board (the "Nominating Committee") to review and consider the Board Candidate and, if such Board Candidate is approved by the Nominating Committee in its reasonable discretion in accordance with Company's director candidacy review process, to recommend the Board Candidate to the Company Board for service on the Company Board.

 

(b)            If the Board Candidate is approved for service on the Company Board by the Nominating Committee and the Company Board pursuant to Section 7.2 four or more months before Company's next scheduled annual meeting of stockholders, the Company Board shall appoint the Board Candidate to the Company Board for service until that annual meeting.  The Board Candidate shall subsequently be subject to the normal Company Board and Nominating Committee process for nomination for election (and re-election) at that annual meeting and for each annual meeting thereafter so long as Purchaser is entitled to submit an individual for appointment or nomination for election to the Company Board.  If the Board Candidate is approved for service on the Company Board by the Nominating Committee and the Company Board pursuant to Section 7.2 less than four months before the next annual meeting, the Board Candidate shall be nominated for election at that annual meeting to the extent the Nominating Committee and the Company Board's approval occurs by a date that would permit the Board Candidate to be included in Company's proxy statement, and otherwise will be appointed to the Company Board after that annual meeting and then be subject to the normal Nominating Committee and Company Board process for nomination for election at the subsequent annual meeting.

 

(c)            If at any time while the Board Candidate serves on the Company Board Quarterly Revenue for any Quarter falls below $25,000,000, then Purchaser shall, upon 15 days' prior written notice from Company, cause the Board Candidate to resign from the Company Board.

 

(d)            If the Board Candidate is appointed or elected to the Company Board, Company agrees to enter into an indemnification agreement with the Board Candidate substantially similar in form to the Company's form of Indemnification Agreement with its directors that is filed with the SEC, which agreement shall be effective as of the Board Candidate's appointment or election to the Company Board.

 

(e)            For so long as any Board Candidate serves on the Company Board, Purchaser shall, and shall cause any of its Affiliates to, vote all shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company it holds that are entitled to vote on matters put to a vote of Company's securityholders for approval at any meeting, or in connection with any written consent of securityholders in lieu of a meeting, (i) with respect to elections of members of the Company Board, for the Company Board's nominees to the Company Board, and (ii) with respect to all other matters to be voted on by the Company's securityholders, either, in the sole discretion of Purchaser, (x) in accordance with the recommendation of the Company Board or (y) in proportion to the votes cast with respect to the Common Stock or other voting securities of Company not owned by Purchaser or its Affiliates, in each case, with respect to any such matters unless the Board Candidate has voted against such proposal in his capacity as a member of the Company Board.

 

7.2  Eligible Individuals.   The Board Candidate shall be subject to Company's standard director candidacy review process as described in the SEC Documents and as conducted by the Nominating Committee and the Company Board.  If for any reason, the Nominating Committee or the Company Board determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the individual proposed by Purchaser to be the Board Candidate is not suitable for service on the Company Board in accordance with such review process, Purchaser shall be entitled to propose another individual to be the Board Candidate, subject to the review, appointment and nomination process provided for in this Section 7.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not require the Board Candidate to be an independent director within the meaning of the rules and regulations of NASDAQ or of the charter of the Nominating Committee or of any Company policy.  Company and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that any senior executive of Purchaser submitted by Purchaser as the Board Candidate shall not be determined by the Nominating Committee or the Company Board to be unsuitable for service on the Company Board on account of the Board Candidate's status as an employee or officer of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

---

 

7.3  Vacancies.   In the event that the Board Candidate ceases to serve as a member of the Company Board during such individual's term of office for any reason, and at such time Purchaser has the right to submit a Board Candidate, Purchaser shall have the right to submit a replacement Board Candidate subject to the review, appointment and nomination process provided for in this Section 7.

 

 

8.1  Restrictions on Transfer.   Purchaser shall not sell, lease, assign or otherwise transfer (voluntarily or by entering into a transaction resulting in a transfer by operation of law) ("Transfer") any of the Securities during the period beginning on the Note Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Note Closing Date ("Restricted Period"); provided, however, that, during such period, Purchaser may Transfer any of the Securities to an Affiliate of Purchaser as long as such Affiliate agrees with Company to be subject to the obligations of Purchaser pursuant to Sections 6.11 and 7.1(e) and this Section 8; and provided, further, that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control prior to the first anniversary of the Note Closing Date (a "Restricted Period Termination Event"), the Restricted Period shall terminate upon the date of such Restricted Period Termination Event.  Any permitted Transfer of the Securities to an Affiliate of Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall not release Purchaser from any of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

8.2  Compliance with Laws.   Purchaser shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates shall, observe and comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and all other requirements of applicable Law in connection with any permitted Transfer of the Securities, including all requirements of applicable Law relating to the use of insider information or the trading of securities while in the possession of nonpublic information.

(c)            no suit, claim, investigation, action or other proceeding shall be pending or, to the knowledge of Company or Purchaser, respectively, threatened against Purchaser or Company or any Subsidiary before any Governmental Entity which reasonably could be expected to result in the restraint or prohibition of any such party, or the obtaining of damages or other relief from any such party, in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(a)            Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates, and their respective directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses  (including reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees, disbursements and expenses, as incurred) (collectively, "Losses") incurred by such Person entitled to indemnification hereunder arising out of or based upon any breach of a representation or warranty or breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Company contained in this Agreement, provided, however, that the foregoing obligation of Company to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser shall not apply with respect to any matters arising out of or relating to the Commercial Agreements.

 

(b)            Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Company, its directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against all Losses incurred by such Person entitled to indemnification hereunder arising out of or based upon any breach of a representation or warranty or breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, provided, however, that the foregoing obligation of Purchaser to indemnify and hold harmless Company shall not apply with respect to any matters arising out of or relating to the Commercial Agreements.

 

11.3  Method of Asserting Indemnification for Third Party Claims.  Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by such indemnified party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may claim indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the obligations of the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 11 except to the extent that the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party, based on the written opinion of counsel, a conflict of interest is likely to exist between the indemnifying party and such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all indemnified parties selected by such parties (which selection shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party), in each case in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party, based on the written opinion of counsel, a conflict of interest is likely to exist between the indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel. No indemnifying party, in defense of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or entry into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such action, suit, proceeding or investigation to the extent such liability is covered by the indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 11.2. No indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or entry into any settlement without the consent of each indemnifying party.

---

 

11.4  Method of Asserting Indemnification for Other Claims.   In the event any indemnified party should have a claim under Section 11.2 against the indemnifying party that does not involve a third party claim, the indemnified party shall deliver a written notification of a claim for indemnity under Section 11.2 specifying the nature of and basis for such claim, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such claim (an "Indemnity Notice") with reasonable promptness to the indemnifying party. The failure by any indemnified party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party's rights under Section 11.2 except to the extent that the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. If the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party that it does not dispute the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the indemnified party within 45 calendar days after receipt of the Indemnity Notice whether the indemnifying party disputes the claim or the amount of the claim described in the Indemnity Notice, the Losses in the amount specified in the Indemnity Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying party under Section 11.2 and the indemnifying party shall pay the amount of such Losses to the indemnified party on demand.

 

11.5  Limitations on Indemnification.   Neither Company nor Purchaser shall have any obligation under this Section 11 to indemnify any Person for lost profits or for incidental, punitive or exemplary damages.  The indemnification provided in this Section 11 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages available to Company and Purchaser for matters for which indemnification is provided under this Section 11.

 

 

12.1  Fees and Expenses.   Each party shall pay its owns expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and each Transaction Document and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

 

12.2  Independent Contractors.   Each party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give either party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other party in any way.  Nothing herein shall be construed to create the relationship of partners, principal and agent, or joint-venture partners between the parties.

 

12.3  Specific Enforcement.   The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific intent or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled by law or equity.

 

12.4  Successors and Assigns.   This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assigned, delegated, or otherwise transferred (whether by operation of law, by contract, or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party hereto; provided, however, that Purchaser may, without obtaining the prior written consent of Company, assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of Purchaser; provided further, however, that no such assignment, delegation or transfer to an Affiliate of Purchaser will release Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder.  Company shall execute such acknowledgements of such assignments in such form as Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request.  Any attempted assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section 12.4 shall be void and of no force or effect.

 

12.5  Entire Agreement.   This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements or understandings between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, including the Agreement, dated September 18, 2012, between Company and Purchaser.

(b)	Company's provision of services in support of CareFirst's Patient-Centered Medical Home Program ("PCMH") whether within the CareFirst service area or in conjunction with a CareFirst PCMH licensee outside the CareFirst service area, or

(c)

a high level Introduction to a CareFirst customer with whom Company did not have a prior business relationship.  In an effort to avoid disputes over whether such an Introduction or referral resulted in Indirect Quarterly Revenue, the parties shall endeavor to adhere to the following process, which shall be indicative but not dispositive as to whether an Introduction resulted in Indirect Quarterly Revenue: (i) Purchaser shall provide to Company, from time to time no less frequently than once every Quarter, a list of such potential Customers to which Purchaser proposes to make such Introductions; (ii) Purchaser and Company shall then work in good faith to finalize a mutually agreed list of such prospective Customers to which Purchaser shall make such Introductions, along with the proposed schedule for doing so; provided that neither party shall unreasonably object to the inclusion of any prospective Customer in such agreed list; and (iii) Purchaser shall keep Company reasonably informed on the outcome of each such attempted Introduction.  If the Introduction does not result in a legally binding agreement between Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the applicable Customer within 24 months following such Introduction, it will be presumed not to have resulted in Indirect Quarterly Revenue.

(1)	If the Cumulative Quarterly Target for a Quarter is met, the Coverage Factor of 2.75% applies.  If the Cumulative Quarterly Target for a Quarter is not met, the Coverage Factor of 0.8% applies.

(2)	Neither the Cumulative Quarterly Target nor the Cumulative Quarterly Minimum for this Quarter is met, and thus no Warrant is issued.

(3)	Because the number of Gross Warrant Shares for this Quarter is not more than the number of Warrant Shares previously issued in the current Eligible Year, the number of Net Warrant Shares for such Quarter is deemed to be zero under the formula for calculating the number of Net Warrant Shares.

(4)	For this Quarter, the calculation of Net Warrant Shares uses the Cumulative Quarterly Warrant Cap (instead of the larger number of Gross Warrant Shares) and subtracts from it the number of Warrant Shares previously issued in the current Eligible Year.
