Physician acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that HealthTap is obligated to refund a HealthTap patient for Medical Services provided by the Physician via video, audio or text chat, HealthTap can offset and reduce Physician's subsequent compensation payable pursuant to or as referenced by Exhibit B in an amount equal to the patient refund provided by HealthTap. The Physician shall be paid in accordance with HealthTap's normal payment practices and payment guidelines. The foregoing compensation will constitute the entire compensation payable hereunder.

  4. The Physician expressly and irrevocably transfers, assigns, or otherwise conveys to HealthTap any and all rights, privileges, or other basis Physician has or may not have to collect or account for fees, whether in cash, goods or other items of value resulting from or incident to the Physician's performance of services under this Agreement. The Physician hereby agrees to execute such additional documentation as may be necessary, in the opinion of HealthTap or its counsel, to effectuate or evidence such assignment. The Physician acknowledges that HealthTap or its agent will submit any bills for services furnished pursuant to this Agreement in HealthTap's Name, and that Physician is hereby precluded from billing any third-party payer for Physician's professional services hereunder.

  3. The Receiving Party shall hold and maintain the Confidential Information in the strictest confidence and in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Disclosing Party. Moreover, the Receiving Party shall not, without the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party, use for its own benefit, publish or otherwise disclose to others, or permit the use by others for their benefit or to the detriment of the Disclosing Party, any of the Confidential Information.
  4. The Receiving Party shall return to the Disclosing Party any and all records, notes and other written, printed or tangible materials pertaining to the Confidential Information immediately on the written request of the Disclosing Party.
  5. The Disclosing Party makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to any of its Confidential Information. The Disclosing Party will not be liable for any damages arising out of use of the Confidential Information.

These covenants contained in this section of the Agreement entitled "Confidentiality and Non- Solicitation" shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action either Party has or may have against the other Party, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute any defense to enforcement of these covenants. The Receiving Party agrees that Disclosing Party's remedies at law are inadequate and agrees to the entry of an injunction against Receiving Party enforcing the terms of these restrictive covenants in the event of breach by Receiving Party. The Parties acknowledge and agree that these restrictions are fair and reasonable, both as to time and scope of goodwill, employees, contractors, agents, customers, confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets, and other business interests of Disclosing Party and are ancillary to and a part of an otherwise enforceable agreement at the time this Agreement is made. The Parties acknowledge that the foregoing provisions are designed to prevent unfair trade practices and are, therefore, not rendered void by any statute, case, or provision of California law.

In no event shall Limited Liability Parties limited liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement exceed the amounts paid by HealthTap to Physician under this agreement for the services or deliverables giving rise to such liability. THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CONSULTING SERVICES, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE FEES PAID TO PHYSICIAN PRIOR TO THE FIRST EVENT OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY. THE PARTIES HAVE RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT. IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH LIABILITY LIMITATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, EACH PARTY'S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

12. Arbitration and Equitable Relief.

  1. In consideration of Physician's consulting relationship with HealthTap, its promise to arbitrate all disputes related to Physician's consulting relationship with HealthTap and Physician's receipt of compensation from HealthTap, at present and in the future, Physician agrees that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes with anyone (including Company and any employee, officer, director, shareholder or benefit plan of the Company in their capacity as such or otherwise), whether brought on an individual, group, or class basis, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from Physician's consulting relationship with HealthTap or the termination of Physician's consulting relationship with the HealthTap, including any breach of this Agreement, shall be subject to binding arbitration under the Arbitration Rules set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1280 through 1294.2, including Section 1281.8 (the "ACT") and pursuant to California law. The Federal Arbitration Act shall continue to apply with full force and effect notwithstanding the application of the procedural rules set forth in the Act. Disputes which Physician agrees to arbitrate, and thereby agrees to waive any right to a trial by jury, including any statutory claims under local, state, or federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, state fair employment acts, family medical leave acts, state labor codes, claims of harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination and any statutory or common law claims. Physician further understands that this Agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the HealthTap may have with Physician.
  2. Physician and HealthTap agree that each Party may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as part of any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join either Party's claim with another person's or Party's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of consolidated, representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may only award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) in favor of the individual Party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that Party's individual claims and any relief awarded cannot affect other Physicians.
  3. Before filing an arbitration claim, the Parties agree to make good faith efforts to resolve any disputes between them over a period of at least 30 days. Physician agrees that any arbitration will be administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the "JAMS Rules") before a single arbitrator. Physician agrees that the arbitrator shall have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication and motions to dismiss and demurrers, prior to any arbitration hearing. Physician agrees that the arbitrator shall issue a written decision on the merits. Physician also agrees that the arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies available under applicable law. Physician also agrees that the arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies available under applicable law. Physician agrees that the decree or award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered as a final and binding judgment in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Physician agrees that the arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with California Law, including the California Code of Civil Procedure, and that the arbitrator shall apply substantive and procedural California law to any dispute or claim, without reference to rules of conflict of law. To the extent that the JAMS Rules conflict with California law, California law shall take precedence. Physician further agrees that any arbitration under this agreement shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California.
  4. Except as provided by the Act and this Agreement, arbitration shall be the sole, exclusive, and final remedy for any dispute between Physician and the Company. Accordingly, except as provided for by the Act and this agreement, neither Physician nor the Company will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration.
  5. In accordance with Rule 1281.8 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, the Parties agree that any party may also petition the court for injunctive relief where either party alleges or claims a violation of any agreement regarding intellectual property, confidential information or noninterference. In the event either party seeks injunctive relief, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorneys' fees.
  6. Physician understands that except as permitted by law this Agreement does not prohibit Physician from pursuing certain administrative claims with local, state or federal administrative bodies or agencies. This agreement does, however, preclude Physician from bringing any alleged wage claims with the Department of Labor Standards Enforcement. Likewise, this Agreement does preclude Physician from pursuing court action regarding any administrative claims, except as permitted by law.
  7. Physician acknowledges and agrees that he/she is executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by the Company or anyone else. Physician further acknowledges and agrees that he/she has carefully read this Agreement and that Physician has asked any questions needed for Physician to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Agreement and fully understand it, including that Physician is waiving his/her right to a jury trial. Finally, Physician agrees that he/she has been provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of Physician's choice before signing this Agreement.
