NON- COMPETITION AGREEMENT

10.1 The Physician-Employee agrees that if Physician-Employee resigns or is terminated at any time, regardless of the reason of termination, or if this Agreement expires without a successor agreement being executed by the parties, then for a period of two (2)years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Physician-Employee:

(i) shall not solicit any of the Employer's patients nor shall Physician-Employee make known to any person or firm directly or indirectly, the names or addresses or other identifying information, of any such patients. For purpose of the preceding sentence, the Employer's patients shall mean any person who was a patient of the Employer at the time of Physician-Employee's termination or expiration of employment with the Employer or was such a patient within the 12 months immediately proceeding such termination or expiration.

(ii) shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in the business of providing DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY services or any incidental or related services provided by the Employer at any time during the Term hereof, whether on a direct and/or consulting basis or engage in any business which is in competition with the Employer within an area Consisting of Monroe County, Florida from mile marker 105 to 35 ("Restricted Area"). In addition, Physician-Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in the business of providing DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY services or any incidental or related services provided by the Employer at any time during the Term hereof, whether on a direct and/or consulting basis or engage in any business which is in competition with the Employer at any hospital located in the Restricted Area.

(iv) shall not induce or attempt to influence any employee of Employer or other entity involved in the provision of RADIOLOGIC SERVICES to terminate his/her relationship with the Employer or entity.

10.2 If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any portion of the covenants set forth in this Article X is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then such covenants shall be considered divisible both as to time, geographic area and hospital privileges affected. The parties agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that the specified time period, the specified geographic area, or the specified restrictions as to hospital privileges applicable to Article X to be unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser time period or geographical area or fewer restrictions which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be reasonable, non-arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the Physician-Employee.

10.3 The Physician-Employee and the Employer each acknowledge that: (i) services Physician-Employee will render under this Agreement are special and unique and cannot be readily replaced by the Employer; (ii) the breach by the Physician-Employee of the provisions of Articles IX or X will cause the Employer irreparable harm; and, (iii) monetary damages in an action at law would not provide an adequate remedy in the event of a breach. Accordingly, the Physician-Employee agrees that the covenants contained in Articles IX and X of this Agreement are a reasonable necessary protection of the legitimate interest of the Employer and that, in addition to any other remedies (legal, equitable or otherwise) available to the Employer, the Employer may seek and obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach by Physician-Employee of the provisions of Articles IX and/or X as well as any other rights or remedies available at law and equity. The Employer shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of posting a cash bond.

Nothing contained in this Section 10.3 shall be construed as prohibiting the Employer from pursuing all other remedies available (if available) to it for a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of Articles IX and/or X. The restrictions of Physician-Employee in Articles IX and/or X shall be deemed independent undertakings of Physician-Employee herein, for the enforcement thereof.

10.4 Should Physician-Employee breach this covenant, damages shall accrue in an amount of $2000 per day for the first year and $1000 per day for the second year, regardless of the reason and effect of such breach, unless a court of competent juridiction should rule otherwise.

10.5 This entire section shall be void whenever Sections 8.4 and 5.7 shall apply.
