The Seller Parties shall not make, or permit any Representative or Affiliate of theirs to make, any public statements or otherwise communicate with any news media, including the issuance of any press releases, with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Contemplated Transactions without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless otherwise required by applicable Law, in which case the Seller Parties shall allow Buyer reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. Buyer and the Seller Parties acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, Buyer, in its sole discretion, may make a customary public announcement regarding consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.2 Restrictive Covenants. As a condition and material inducement to Buyer’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and purchase the Shares hereunder, and to protect the value and goodwill of the Business and the substantial investment made by Buyer, each of the Seller Parties hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire. Except with respect to soliciting business from customers and vendors of Synergy Medical Laboratory as of the date hereof, for a period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following the Closing Date, no Seller Party will, and each Seller Party will cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) solicit the business of any Person who is a customer of the Company, Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the Business;

(ii) cause or induce, or attempt to cause or induce, any customer, supplier, vendor, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, contractor, consultant, or other business relation of Buyer or any of its Affiliates to cease doing business with such Person or to deal with any competitor of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or in any way interfere with Buyer’s or any of its Affiliates’ relationship with any such Person;

-23-

(iii) cause or induce, or attempt to cause or induce, any customer, supplier, vendor, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, contractor, consultant, or other business relation of the Company as of, or at any time during the twelve (12)-month period immediately preceding, the Closing Date, to cease doing business with the Company, Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates or to deal with any competitor of the Company, Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the Company’s, Buyer’s, or any of their respective Affiliates’ relationship with any such Person; or

(iv) solicit, induce, hire, retain, or attempt to hire or retain any employee or independent contractor of the Company, Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates (including any former employee or independent contractor if such Person was an employee or independent contractor of the Company, Buyer, or any of its Affiliates within the twelve (12)-month period prior to such solicitation, inducement, hiring, retention, or attempt to hire or retain), or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company, Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates and any of such Person’s employees or independent contractors.

(b) Confidentiality. From and after the Closing Date, each of the Seller Parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and, as applicable, their respective Representatives to, keep confidential and not disclose or use any Confidential Information, other than to disclose Confidential Information to Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Seller Party or any of its Affiliates or, as applicable, any of their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Disclosing Party”) is requested or required by Law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party will provide Buyer with notice of such request or requirement as promptly as practicable (unless prohibited by Law) so that Buyer may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2(b). The Disclosing Party will cooperate reasonably with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s efforts to seek such an order or remedy. If Buyer does not obtain such an order or other remedy, or waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.2(b), the Disclosing Party will furnish only that portion of the applicable Confidential Information that is legally required, and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such disclosed information.

(c) Equitable Remedies. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) Buyer and its Affiliates would suffer irreparable and ongoing damages (including a significant loss of the value and goodwill of the Shares and of the Business purchased by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement) in the event that any provision of this Section 7.2 were not performed in accordance with its terms or otherwise were breached; and (ii) monetary damages, even if available, alone would not be an adequate remedy for any such non-performance or breach. Accordingly, each Seller Party agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Section 7.2, Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies that it may have existing in its favor at law, in equity, or otherwise, to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief (including a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, and a final injunction) to prevent any such breach or threatened breach and to enforce such provisions specifically, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security or of proving actual damages. The prevailing party in any action commenced under this Section 7.2(c) (whether through a monetary judgment, injunctive relief, or otherwise) also shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred in connection with such action.

-24-

(d) General Acknowledgements. Each Seller Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the covenants applicable to such Seller Party set forth in this Section 7.2 constitute a material inducement to Buyer’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Contemplated Transactions and are an integral part of the Contemplated Transactions; (ii) but for these covenants, Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement or agreed to acquire the Shares; (iii) in view of the highly competitive nature of the Business, the business objectives of Buyer in acquiring the Shares, and the consideration paid for the Shares, each of the covenants set forth in this Section 7.2 is reasonable with respect to its scope, geographic area, and duration and is necessary to protect Buyer’s legitimate business interests (including the value and goodwill of the Business and the Shares purchased by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement), and (iv) the Business, and the business engaged in by Buyer and its Affiliates, both have a nationwide geographic scope.

Section 7.3 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time following the Closing, at the request of any party hereto and without further consideration, each party hereto shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, such further actions as any other party hereto may reasonably request or as otherwise may be necessary or desirable to evidence and make effective the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 7.4 Release of Claims.

(a) Release. For good and valuable consideration, effective upon the Closing, each of the Seller Parties, on behalf of itself, himself, or herself and its, his, or her heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Releasors”), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases, and forever discharges Buyer, the Company, their respective Affiliates and subsidiaries, each of their respective predecessors, successors, and assigns, and each of their respective current and former equityholders, partners, members, directors, managers, officers, employees, agents and other Representatives (collectively, the “Releasees”) of and from any and all claims, demands, charges, complaints, obligations, causes of action, suits, liabilities, indebtedness, sums of money, covenants, agreements, instruments, contracts (written or oral, express or implied), controversies, promises, fees, expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses), damages, and judgments, at law or in equity, in contract or tort, in United States, state, foreign, or other judicial, administrative, arbitration, or other proceedings, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, previously, now or hereafter arising (collectively, the “Claims”), that the Releasors ever had, now have, or hereafter shall or may have for or by reason of, or in any way arising out of or relating to, any cause, matter, act, omission, or thing whatsoever from the beginning of time through and including the Closing Date, including any Claims arising out of or relating to any Seller Party’s ownership of any Shares or service as a director, officer, employee, agent, or other Representative of the Company. Except as expressly set forth in Section 7.4(b), each of the Seller Parties acknowledges and understands that the foregoing is a full and final release of all Claims that could have been asserted in any legal or equitable proceeding against the Releasees, including any right to recover against the Releasees for any indemnification or contribution claims made against or paid by the Seller Parties pursuant to ARTICLE VIII.

-25-

(b) Exceptions. Nothing in Section 7.4(a) shall constitute a release of any rights or obligations arising under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

(c) No Commencement of Released Claims. Each Releasor further covenants and agrees, effective upon the Closing Date and to the fullest extent permitted by Law, not to commence, join, assist, or aid in any manner whatsoever the making of any claim or the bringing of any Action against the Releasees based upon any of the Claims that are released pursuant to Section 7.4(a).

(d) No Assignment. Each of the Seller Parties, on behalf of itself, himself, or herself and any Person claiming through such Seller Party, (i) represents and warrants that neither such Seller Party nor any of such Persons has assigned and (ii) covenants that neither such Seller Party nor any of such Persons will assign, to any other Person any Claim or potential Claim released by Section 7.4(a).

Section 7.5 Tax Matters.

(a) Computation of Liabilities. Whenever it is necessary to determine the Liability for Taxes for a Straddle Period relating to:

(i) Taxes of the Company imposed on a periodic basis (such as real property Taxes or other ad valorem Taxes), the determination of the Taxes of the Company for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning and ending after, the Closing Date shall be calculated by allocating to the periods before and after the Closing Date pro rata, based on the number of days of the Straddle Period in the period before and ending on the Closing Date, on the one hand, and the number of days in the Straddle Period in the period after the Closing Date, on the other hand; and

(ii) Taxes of the Company not described in Section 7.5(a)(i) (such as (A) Taxes based on the income or receipts of the Company for a Straddle Period, (B) Taxes imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (including all sales and use Taxes) for a Straddle Period, and (C) withholding and employment Taxes relating to a Straddle Period), the determination of the Taxes of the Company for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning and ending after, the Closing Date shall be calculated by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two (2) taxable periods, one (1) which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date and items of income, gain, deduction, loss, or credit of the Company for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two (2) taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the Company were closed at the close of the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time).

(g) Adjustments to Purchase Price. The parties hereto agree to treat any amounts payable after the Closing Date by any Seller Party to Buyer (or by Buyer to any Seller Party) pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the purchase price payable hereunder, unless otherwise required by Law or the good faith resolution of an audit.

Consistent with Code Section 1060 and the regulations thereunder, the Buyer shall prepare the Allocation and shall submit the Allocation to the Seller Party Representative for review, comment and approval if the Buyer is contemplating making the Code Section 338(h)(10) Election. If the Seller Party Representative notifies the Buyer in writing that the Seller Party Representative is disputing the Allocation within twenty (20) days following the Seller Party Representative’s receipt of the Allocation, then the Seller Party Representative and the Buyer shall mutually negotiate the Allocation in good faith. If the Seller Party Representative fails to notify the Buyer in writing that the Seller Party Representative is disputing the Allocation within such twenty (20)-day period, then the Seller Party Representative and the Seller Parties shall be deemed to have accepted the Allocation as prepared by the Buyer and such Allocation shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto.

Section 8.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any third party shall notify any party hereto (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification against any other party hereto (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party (or the Seller Party Representative in the case of an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 8.2) prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend or resolve such claim is materially and adversely affected thereby. Such written notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe in reasonable detail (based on information then available to the Indemnified Party) the Third Party Claim and the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(b) Direct Claims. If an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party (or the Seller Party Representative in the case of an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 8.2) prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend or resolve such Direct Claim is materially and adversely affected thereby. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe in reasonable detail (based on information then available to the Indemnified Party) the Direct Claim and the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party (the “Claimed Amount”). Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice, the Indemnifying Party (or the Seller Party Representative in the case of an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 8.2) shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party (or the Seller Party Representative in the case of an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 8.2) shall (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party of the Claimed Amount), (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case such response shall be accompanied by payment by the Indemnifying Party of the Agreed Amount), or (iii) in good faith dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Indemnifying Party (or the Seller Party Representative in the case of an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 8.2) timely disputes the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, then the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party may assert all rights available to such party hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within the applicable time period set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim and shall pay the Claimed Amount in full.

-33-

Section 8.5 Exclusive Remedy. Except for (a) the remedies of specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief or (b) claims for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, the indemnification rights set forth in this ARTICLE VIII shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the parties hereto for any claim arising out of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions.
