5.Trademark License.

A.Manager hereby grants to Practice a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, revocable and non-transferable right and license to use the logos, trademarks, trade names, service marks and related manuals and proprietary documentation (the “Trademarks”) developed by or for or used by Manager in connection with Manager’s provision of the Practice Management Services and the Practice’s professional clinical operations.

B.Practice acknowledges that Manager is the owner of all proprietary rights, title, and interest in the Trademarks. Practice acknowledges that all use of the Trademarks by the Practice shall inure to the benefit of Manager, and all such rights, title, and interest shall remain with Manager. Neither the license granted under this Section 5 nor the use by Practice and its agents of the Trademarks creates any interest or right, express or implied, in the Trademarks with respect to Practice beyond such limited license and right to use.

C.Practice shall never (i) seek to register, anywhere in the world, any of the Trademarks or any marks confusingly similar thereto (“Related Marks”), (ii) dispute Manager’s ownership of the Trademarks or any Related Marks, (iii) oppose Manager’s application(s) or registration(s) for the Trademarks or any Related Marks in any jurisdiction, or (iv) make any claim or take any action adverse to Manager’s ownership of the Trademarks.

D.Practice may not develop or use any Related Marks without the prior review and approval of Manager. All Related Marks approved by Manager for use by Practice shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as if they were one of the Trademarks.

E.Practice (i) shall use its best efforts to prevent and investigate any unauthorized use of or challenge to the Trademarks; and (ii) agrees to immediately notify Manager in writing if Practice has knowledge of: any use of, or any application or registration for, a trademark or service mark that conflicts with any of the Trademarks; any act of infringement or unfair competition involving the Trademarks; or any claim or action, whether or not made in a lawsuit, that the use of the Trademarks by Manager or Practice infringes any other rights of any other person or entity.

F.Manager shall take commercially reasonable steps to protect, maintain and defend the Trademarks at its sole cost and expense. Manager or Practice shall each have the right, but not the obligation, to sue for infringement of, or assert defense of the Trademarks. Furthermore, Manager and Practice shall cooperate as may be necessary and appropriate, in any legal action brought by any party against third party infringers, including being joined as party plaintiff, in any claim or lawsuit brought to enforce the Trademarks. Should Manager choose to take any action with respect to the Trademarks, Practice shall comply, at Manager’s sole cost and expense, with

all requests for assistance in connection therewith, including but not limited to being joined as a party in any action. Any recovery as a result of such action shall belong solely to Manager.

G.Practice shall cooperate with Manager in obtaining registrations of, maintaining, renewing and protecting the Trademarks, which shall include supplying specimens and other evidence of use, and complying with the requests of Manager’s attorneys.

H.The Practice shall take reasonable steps in the negotiation, execution, and delivery of agreements with third parties (including but not limited to agreements related to advertising and marketing materials) and in any other circumstances that might otherwise suggest erroneously that the Trademarks are the property of Practice; and to represent that the Trademarks are the property of Manager.

I.The Practice acknowledges and agrees that under the non-exclusive license granted to them by Manager, Manager will always enjoy the direct or indirect right to control the character and quality of the use of the Trademarks, and the Practice will always co-operate fully with the Manager in facilitating its exercise of such control.

J.Practice shall:

1.use its best efforts, skill and diligence to ensure at all times that the quality of all services sold and/or rendered under or in connection with the Trademarks is not less than the standard of quality as has been customary for such services;

2.conduct its business and use the Trademarks in accordance with all applicable Laws;

3.agree to use the Trademarks in the form and manner and with appropriate legends as may be deemed reasonably necessary by Manager to preserve and protect their rights in the Trademarks;

6.provide to Manager, upon request, samples of signage, marketing collateral or promotional materials using the Trademark for inspection as to character and quality; and

If any such services are performed by way of subcontract with another organization and the value or cost of such subcontracted services is Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) or more over a twelve (12) month period, such subcontract shall contain and the respective party shall enforce a clause to the same effect as this Section 16(A). The availability of the parties’ books, documents and records shall be subject at all times to all applicable legal requirements, including without limitation, such criteria and procedures for seeking and obtaining access that may be promulgated by the Secretary by regulation. The provisions of this Section 16(A) shall survive expiration or other termination of this Agreement, regardless of the cause of such termination.

B.Compliance With State and Federal Laws. In all matters under this Agreement, the parties shall abide by and comply with all applicable laws, standards, rules and regulations of those federal, state, and local agencies having jurisdiction over or in connection with the parties’ operations.

obligation of Practice to refer patients or other healthcare items or services to Manager or any affiliate of Manager.

This Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with compliance with such statutes and regulations, and the parties hereto agree to take such actions necessary to construe and administer this Agreement accordingly. If any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction determines that this Agreement violates any of such statutes or regulations, then the parties agree to take such actions in good faith as necessary to amend this Agreement to comply with the applicable statutes or regulations, as provided herein.

28.Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or unenforceability of any other term(s) or provision(s). In the event a provision of this Agreement is rendered invalid or unenforceable and its removal has the effect of materially altering the obligations of either party in such manner as, in the sole judgment of the affected party, will cause serious and material financial hardship to such party, the party so affected shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party.

29.Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees to do all acts and things and to make, execute and deliver such written instruments that shall, from time to time, be reasonably required to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
