The Parties further agree that if workload demand requires Medical Group to work more than 225 full business days in a year, the Medical Group's minimum number of business days worked for the subsequent year shall be reduced by one full business day for each full business day worked more than the annual requirement in the previous year.

Medical Group also agrees that it will work in good faith to have each of its physicians providing Services hereunder meet the NeoGenomics quality and performance standards that it has established for pathologists.

NeoGenomics agrees that Physician or such other physician employed by or under arrangement with Medical Group to provide Services under this Agreement will not be expected to provide Services on any legal holidays formally recognized by NeoGenomics unless mutually agreed to with Medical Group on behalf of Physician or other Medical Group physician as part of the NeoGenomics pathologist rotation schedule.

Medical Group shall be eligible to receive up to 200% of the Target Bonus in the event that NeoGenomics' and/or Medical Group's performance exceeds the thresholds set for the Target Bonus. Except as otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, Medical Group must be engaged hereunder on the last day of a fiscal year in order to be eligible for a bonus for such fiscal year.

(iii) Medical Group's Physician will be eligible for stock option grants and grants of restricted stock for Executives of the Company on an annual basis as a part of the Compensation Committee of the NeoGenomics Board of Directors annual compensation review process. The grant of such options and restricted stock will be made pursuant to the NeoGenomics equity incentive plan then in effect and will be evidenced by a separate Stock Option and/or Restricted Stock Agreement, which NeoGenomics will execute with Physician in accordance with the Company's annual compensation review process.

(b) Medical Group hereby appoints NeoGenomics as its billing agent and NeoGenomics agrees to bill and collect for all Professional Component Services provided by Physician or other Medical Group physician on behalf of Medical Group during the term of this Agreement.

It is expressly understood that the extent to which NeoGenomics will endeavor to collect fees, the methods of collecting, the settling of disputes with respect to charges and the writing off of fees that may be or appear to be uncollectible shall at all times be at the reasonable discretion of NeoGenomics. NeoGenomics does not guarantee the extent any fees billed will be collected. Medical Group shall have the right at all reasonable times and upon the giving of reasonable notice to examine, inspect and copy the records of NeoGenomics pertaining to such fees, charges, billings, costs and expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Medical Group and Physician agree to cooperate as necessary to facilitate NeoGenomics' entry into or maintenance of any arrangements with third party payors (e.g., entities that are authorized to contract for healthcare services under public or private health and/or hospital programs) during the term of this Agreement.

(i) Upon any termination of this Agreement, NeoGenomics shall continue to bill and collect for all Professional Component Services rendered by the Physician or other Medical Group physician to the date of termination.

Such insurance will cover only the Services provided by Physician or other Medical Group physicians for NeoGenomics under this Agreement. If Physician or other Medical Group physician desires additional insurance coverage, it will be Medical Group’s and/or the Physician’s or other Medical Group physician’s responsibility to obtain and pay for such coverage. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, NeoGenomics will continue to insure the incurred, but not reported incidents that arise out of Services performed by Physician or other Medical Group physician under this Agreement as part of its ongoing claims made policy.

5.RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES: NeoGenomics, on the one hand, and Medical Group, on the other hand, shall act at all times under this Agreement as independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or be deemed to create a relationship of employer and employee or principal and agent or any relationship other than that of independent Parties contracting with each other solely for the purpose of carrying out the purposes expressed in this Agreement.

6.NO CONNECTION TO REFERRALS: The Parties agree and acknowledge that the respective services to be rendered by the Parties as contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute valuable and necessary services to the other Party, and that the amounts payable under Section 3 of this Agreement represent the fair market value of the items and services to be rendered by each Party. The Parties further acknowledge that it is their intention that compensation payable under this Agreement shall be for actual services rendered and shall not represent, and is not intended to represent remuneration, direct or indirect, in consideration for the referral of patients or business generated between the Parties, if any.

(i) NeoGenomics may terminate this Agreement at any time for “Cause” (as hereinafter defined), effective immediately upon written notice to Medical Group. As used herein, the term “Cause” shall mean: (A) commission of a material breach of this Agreement, which breach is curable, in the judgment of NeoGenomics, and continues 30 days after receipt of notice which states with particularity the nature of the breach; (B) Medical Group, Physician, or any Medical Group physician is charged with a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; (C) Medical Group, Physician or other Medical Group physician commits an act or omission that could subject Medical Group, Physician, other Medical Group physician or NeoGenomics to administrative sanctions, civil or criminal penalties, fines; or assessments; (D) termination, restriction, suspension, exclusion or debarment of Medical Group’s, Physician’s, or other Medical Group physician’s participation in the Medicare, Medi-Cal, Medicaid, or any other private, state or federal health benefit program; (E) Medical Group, Physician, or other Medical Group physician is charged with a violation of any law pertaining to the performance or rendition of health care goods or services, health care fraud or abuse, or insurance fraud; (F) revocation, restriction, suspension or other non-voluntary loss of Physician’s or other Medical Group physician’s license to practice medicine in any jurisdiction, or (G) any repeated behavior of Physician or other Medical Group physician at any of the Laboratories that in the good faith judgment of the Chief Executive Officer of NeoGenomics violates the policies and procedures of NeoGenomics relating to discrimination, harassment or work place violence.

If NeoGenomics terminates the MSA without Cause, and for any reason or no reason, at any time of its intention to terminate to the Medical Group and Physician, as long as the Medical Group and Physician execute a general waiver and release of all claims which the Medical Group and Physician may have against NeoGenomics, which form of the general waiver and release will be determined in the sole discretion of NeoGenomics, then NeoGenomics agrees that, as severance, it will pay to the Medical Group the Base Compensation for a period of twelve (12) months from

the termination date (the “Severance Payments”) payable in equal installments at such times as is consistent with normal NeoGenomics payroll policy. In the event that Physician obtains employment outside of the Medical Group during any period where Severance Payments are being made, Medical Group and Physician will promptly notify NeoGenomics of the nature of the new employment.

Other than the Severance Payments, NeoGenomics shall have no further obligation to the Medical Group or to Physician after the date of such termination; provided, however, that Medical Group shall only be entitled to continuation of the Severance Payments as long as Physician is in compliance with the provisions of the Confidentiality and Non-Solicit Agreement, which is part of the MSA.
