Section 2.  Primary Indemnification.  The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law, and shall advance expenses therefor, to any executive who was or is a party to a proceeding against any liability incurred in such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, unless a court of competent jurisdiction establishes by judgment or other final adjudication that his actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute: (a) a violation of the criminal law, unless the executive had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; (b) a transaction from which the executive derived an improper personal benefit; (c) in a case of director, a circumstance under which the liability provisions of Section 607.0834; Florida Statutes, or any successor provision, are applicable; or (d) willful misconduct or conscious disregard for the best interests of the Corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.  Notwithstanding the failure to satisfy conditions (a) through (d) of this Section, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify an executive pursuant to Sections 4 or 5 hereof unless a determination is reasonably and promptly made pursuant to Section 3 hereof that the executive did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 4 or 5 of this Article.
 
Section 3.  Determination of Right of Indemnification in Certain Cases.  Any indemnification under Sections 4 or 5 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation unless a determination is reasonably and promptly made that the executive did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 4 or 5 of this Article.  Such determination shall be made by: (a) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such proceeding; (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which directors who are parties may participate) consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; (c) by independent counsel (i) selected by the Board of Directors prescribed in subparagraph (a) or the committee prescribed in subparagraph (b), or (ii) if a quorum of the directors cannot be obtained under subparagraph (a), and the committee cannot be designated under subparagraph (b), selected by majority vote of the full Board of Directors (in which directors who are parties may participate); or (d) by the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of shareholders who are not parties to such proceeding, or if no such quorum is attainable, by a majority vote of the shareholders who were not parties to such proceeding.  If the determination of the permissibility of indemnification is made by independent legal counsel as set forth in subparagraph (c) above, the other persons specified in this Section 3 shall evaluate the reasonableness of expenses.

Section 5.  Proceeding By Or In The Right Of The Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any executive who was or is' a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if such person acted in good faith and in manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this Section 5 in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
 
Section 6.  Indemnification Against Expenses of Successful Party.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, to the extent that an executive is successful on the merits or otherwise, including the dismissal of an action without prejudice or the settlement of an action without admission of liability, in defense of any proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify such executive against all expenses incurred in connection with such defense.

Section 8.  Right of Executive to Indemnification Upon Application; Procedures Upon Application.  Any indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section shall be made promptly upon the written request of the executive, unless, with respect to a request under Section 4 or 5, a determination is reasonably and promptly made under Section 3 of this Article that such executive did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 4 or 5 of this Article.  The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Section shall be enforceable by the executive in any court of competent jurisdiction, if the claim is improperly denied, in whole or in part, or if no disposition of such claim is made promptly.  The executive's expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, under this Section shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

 

 

Section 9.  Court Ordered Indemnification.  Notwithstanding the failure of the Corporation to provide indemnification due to a failure to satisfy the conditions of Section 2 of this Article, and despite any contrary determination by the Corporation in the specific case under Sections 4 or 5 of this Article, an executive of the Corporation who is or was a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification or advancement of expenses, or both, to the court conducting the proceeding, to the circuit court, or to another court of competent jurisdiction, and such court may order indemnification and advancement of expenses, including expenses incurred in seeking court ordered indemnification or advancement of expenses, if the court determines that:
 
(a)  The executive is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses, or both, under this Section; or

Section 11.  Other Rights and Remedies.  Indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Section: (a) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an executive seeking indemnification may be entitled under any statute, Bylaw, agreement, vote of Shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding such office; (b) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an executive; and (c) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.  It is the intent of these Bylaws to provide the maximum indemnification possible under applicable law.  To the extent applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as in effect on the date hereof or at any time in the future, permit greater indemnification than is provided for in these Bylaws, the executive shall enjoy by these Bylaws the greater benefits so afforded by such law or provision of the Articles of Incorporation, and these Bylaws and the exceptions to indemnification set forth herein, to the extent applicable, shall be deemed amended without any further action by the Corporation to grant such greater benefits.  All rights to indemnification under this Section shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Corporation and the executive who serves in such capacity at any time while these Bylaws and other relevant provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act and other applicable law, if any, are in effect.  Any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing.
 
Section 12. Insurance.  By resolution passed by the Board of Directors, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an executive against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this Section.

Section 14.  Notification to Shareholders.  If any expenses or other amounts are paid by way of indemnification other than by court order or action by the Shareholders or by an insurance carrier pursuant to insurance maintained by the Corporation, the Corporation shall, not later than the time of delivery to the shareholders of written notice of the next annual meeting of shareholders, unless such meeting is held within three (3) months from the date of such payment, and, in any event, within fifteen (15) months from the date of such payment, deliver either personally or by mail to each shareholder of record at the time entitled to vote for the election of directors a statement specifying the persons paid, the amounts paid, and the nature and status at the time of such payment of the litigation or threatened litigation.

Section 16.  Savings Clause.  If this Section or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each executive as to liability with respect to any proceeding, whether internal or external, including a grand jury proceeding or an action or suit brought by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section that shall not have been invalidated, or by any applicable provision of Florida law.

Each shall state the name of the record holder of the shares represented thereby; its number and date of issuance; the number of shares for which it is issued; the par value; a statement of the rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions, if any; a statement as to rights of redemption or conversion, if any; and a statement of liens or restrictions upon transfer or voting, if any, or, alternatively, a statement that certificates specifying such matters may be obtained from the Secretary of the Corporation.

(c)  Every certificate for shares must be signed by the Chief Executive Officer or the President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or must be authenticated by facsimiles of the signatures of the Chief Executive Officer or the President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Before it becomes effective, every certificate for shares authenticated by a facsimile or a signature must be countersigned by a transfer agent or transfer clerk, and must be registered by an incorporated bank or trust company, either domestic or foreign, as registrar of transfers.

(d)  Even though an officer who signed, or whose facsimile signature has been written, printed, or stamped on a certificate for shares ceases, by death, resignation, retirement or otherwise, to be an officer of the Corporation before the certificate is delivered by the Corporation, the certificate shall be as valid as though signed by a duly elected, qualified and authorized officer if it is countersigned by the signature or facsimile signature of a transfer clerk or transfer agent and registered by an incorporated bank or trust company, as registrar of transfers.

(e)  Even though a person whose facsimile signature as, or on behalf of, the transfer agent or transfer clerk has been written, printed or stamped on a certificate for shares ceases, by death, resignation, or otherwise, to be a person authorized to so sign such certificate before the certificate is delivered by the Corporation, the certificate shall be deemed countersigned by the facsimile signature of a transfer agent or transfer clerk for purposes of meeting the requirements of this section.

Section 7.2  Transfer on the Books.

Upon surrender to the Secretary or transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation or its transfer agent to issue a new certificate, if requested by the transferee, to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.

Section 7.3  Lost or Destroyed Certificates.

The Board may direct, or may authorize the Secretary to direct, a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon the Secretary's receipt of an affidavit of that fact by the person requesting the replacement certificate for shares so lost or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board or Secretary may, in its or the Secretary's discretion, and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or such owner's legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

Section 7.4  Transfer Agents and Registrars.

The Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the Secretary may appoint one or more transfer agents or transfer clerks, and one or more registrars, who may be the same person, and may be the Secretary of the Corporation, an incorporated bank or trust company or any other person or entity, either domestic or foreign.

Section 7.5  Fixing Record Date for Dividends, Etc.

The Board may fix a time, not exceeding fifty (50) days preceding the date fixed for the payment of any dividend or distribution, or for the allotment of rights, or when any change or conversion or exchange of shares shall go into effect, as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive any such dividend or distribution, or any such allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect to any such change, conversion, or exchange of shares, and, in such case, only stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, or allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Corporation after any record date fixed as aforesaid.

Section 7.6  Record Ownership.

The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered as such on the books of the Corporation as the owner of shares of the Corporation's stock to receive dividends or other distributions and to vote as such owner, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person, whether or not the Corporation shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law.

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 9.1  Indemnification in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than those by or in the Right of the Corporation.

Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (except an action by or in the right of the Corporation) (a "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding (collectively, "Costs"). The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful.

Section 9.2   Indemnification in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation.

The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against Costs incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit.  Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

Section 9.3  Indemnification by a Court.

If a claim under Sections 9.1 or 9.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Costs incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has failed to meet a standard of conduct which makes it permissible under Nevada law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board, independent legal counsel, or the stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is permissible in the circumstances because such claimant has met such standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board, independent legal counsel, or the stockholders) that the claimant has not met such standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has failed to meet such standard of conduct.

 
19

 

Section 9.4  Expenses Payable in Advance.

The Corporation shall pay the Costs incurred by any person entitled to indemnification in defending a Proceeding as such Costs are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding; provided, however, that the Corporation shall pay the Costs of such person only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.

Section 9.5  Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

The right to indemnification and advancement of Costs authorized in this Article IX or ordered by a court: (a) does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Articles of the Corporation or any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in such person's official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding such person's office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Nevada law or the advancement of expenses made pursuant to Section 9.4, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that such person's acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action; and (b) continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 9.6  Insurance.

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in accordance with Section 78.752 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

Section 9.7  Certain Definitions.

(a)  For purposes of this Article IX, references to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

 
20

 

(b)  For purposes of this Article IX, references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan.

(c)  For purposes of this Article IX, references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries;

(d)  For purposes of this Article IX, a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this Article IX.

(e)  For purposes of this Article IX, the term "Board" shall mean the Board of the Corporation or, to the extent permitted by the laws of Nevada, as the same exist or may hereafter be amended, its Executive Committee. On vote of the Board, the Corporation may assent to the adoption of Article IX by any subsidiary, whether or not wholly owned.

Section 9.8  Indemnification of Witnesses.

To the extent that any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation is by reason of such position, or a position held with another entity at the request of the Corporation, a witness in any action, suit or proceeding, such person shall be indemnified against all Costs actually and reasonably incurred by such person or on such person's behalf in connection therewith.

Section 9.9  Indemnification Agreements.

The Corporation may enter into agreements with any director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation providing for indemnification to the full extent permitted by Nevada law.

Section 9.10  Actions Prior to Adoption of Article IX.

The rights provided by this Article IX shall be available whether or not the claim asserted against the director, officer, employee, or agent is based on matters which antedate the adoption of this Article IX.

Section 9.11  Severability.

If any provision Article IX shall for any reason be determined to be invalid, the remaining provisions hereof shall not be affected thereby but shall remain in full force and effect.

HCSS, LLC
 
On March 11, 2005, NeoGenomics entered into an agreement with HCSS, LLC and eTelenext, Inc. to enable NeoGenomics to use eTelenext, Inc’s laboratory information system (LIS).  HCSS, LLC is a holding company created to build a small laboratory network for the 50 small commercial genetics laboratories in the United States.  HCSS, LLC is owned 66.7% by Dr. Michael T. Dent, our Chairman.  By becoming the first customer of HCSS in the small laboratory network, the Company saved approximately $152,000 in up front licensing fees.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid $22,500 over three months to customize this software and pays an annual membership fee of $6,000 per year and monthly transaction fees of between $2.50 - $10.00 per completed test, depending on the volume of tests performed.  As of December, 2007, the Company was incurring approximately $8,000 - $10,000/month in fees.  The eTelenext system is an elaborate LIS that is in use at many larger labs.  By utilizing the eTelenext system, the Company has vastly increased the productivity of its technologists.

Certain Leasing Arrangements with Gulf Pointe Capital, LLC
 
On September 30, 2008, the Borrower entered into a Master Lease Agreement (the “Master Lease”) with Gulfpointe Capital, LLC which allows the Borrower to obtain operating lease capital from time to time.  Three members of the Guarantor’s Board of Directors Steven Jones, Peter Petersen and Marvin Jaffe, are affiliated with Gulfpointe Capital, LLC.  On September 30, 2008, the Borrower also entered into the first lease schedule under the Master Lease Agreement which provided for a sale leaseback on approximately $130,000 of used laboratory equipment (“Lease Schedule #1”).  This sale/leaseback transaction was entered into after it was determined that Leasing Technologies International Inc., the Borrower’s primary source of operating lease funds, was unable to consummate this transaction under their lease line with the Borrower.  Messrs Jones, Peterson and Jaffe recused themselves from all aspects of both sides of this transaction.  The lease has a 30 month term and a lease rate factor of 0.039683/month, which equates to monthly payments of $5,154.88 during the term.  Gulfpointe Capital LLC (“Gulfpointe”) also received warrants to purchase 32,475 shares of the Guarantor’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.08/share and a five year term.  At the end of the term, the Borrower’s options are as follows:
 
a.)    Purchase not less than all of the equipment for its then fair market value not to exceed 15% of the original equipment cost.
b.)    Extend the lease term for a minimum of six months.
c.)    Return not less than all the equipment at the conclusion of the lease term.
 
On February 9, 2009, the Borrower entered into a second schedule under the Master Lease for the sale leaseback and purchase of approximately $118,000 of used laboratory equipment (“Lease Schedule #2”). This sale/leaseback transaction was entered into after it was determined that Leasing Technologies International Inc., the Borrower’s primary source of operating lease funds, was unable to consummate this transaction under their lease line with the Borrower.  Messrs. Jones, Peterson and Jaffe recused themselves from all aspects of both sides of this transaction.  The lease has a 30 month term at the same lease rate factor per month as Lease Schedule #1, which equates to monthly payments of $4,690.41 during the term.  As part of Lease Schedule #2, on February 9, 2009, the Guarantor and Gulfpointe terminated their original warrant agreement, dated September 30, 2008, and replaced it with a new warrant to purchase 83,333 shares of the Guarantor’s common stock.  Such new warrant has a five year term and an exercise price of $0.75/share.  The Borrower’s options at the end of the term of Lease Schedule #2 are the same as for Lease Schedule #1.
 
Certain Stock and Warrant Agreements with Douglas M. VanOort
 
On March 16, 2009, the Guarantor entered into a subscription agreement with the Douglas M. VanOort Living Trust for the purchase of 625,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.80/share, which resulted in gross proceeds to the Guarantor of $500,000.  Also on March 16, 2009, the Guarantor entered into a warrant agreement with Douglas M. VanOort granting him the rights to purchase 625,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.05/share.  Such warrant has a five year term and is subject to certain vesting requirements specified in the warrant.

Schedule 7.6
  
Litigation
 
US Labs
 
On October 26, 2006, US Labs filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles (entitled Accupath Diagnostics Laboratories, Inc. v. NeoGenomics, Inc., et al., Case No. BC 360985) (the “Lawsuit”) against the Company and Robert Gasparini, as an individual, and certain other employees and non-employees of NeoGenomics (the “Defendants”) with respect to claims arising from discussions with current and former employees of US Labs.  On March 18, 2008, we reached a preliminary agreement to settle US Labs’ claims, and in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting For Contingencies, as of December 31, 2007 we accrued a $375,000 loss contingency, which consisted of $250,000 to provide for the Company’s expected share of this settlement, and $125,000 to provide for the Company’s share of the estimated legal fees.
 
On April 23, 2008, the Company and US Labs entered into the Settlement Agreement; whereby, both parties agreed to settle and resolve all claims asserted in and arising out of the aforementioned lawsuit. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Defendants are required to pay $500,000 to US Labs, of which $250,000 was paid on May 1, 2008 with funds from the Company’s insurance carrier and the remaining $250,000 will be paid by the Company on the last day of each month in equal installments of $31,250 commencing on May 31, 2008.  Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, there are certain provisions agreed to in the event of default.  As of March 31, 2009, there were no remaining payments due under the Settlement Agreement.
 
FCCI Commercial Insurance Company
 
A civil lawsuit is currently pending between the Company and its liability insurer, FCCI Commercial Insurance Company ("FCCI") in the 20th Judicial Circuit Court in and for Lee County, Florida (Case No. 07-CA-017150).  FCCI filed the suit on December 12, 2007 in response to the Company's demands for insurance benefits with respect to an underlying action involving US Labs (a settlement agreement has since been reached in the underlying action, and thus that case has now concluded).  Specifically, the Company maintains that the underlying plaintiff's allegations triggered the subject insurance policy's personal and advertising injury coverage.  In the lawsuit, FCCI seeks a court judgment that it owes no obligation to the Company regarding the underlying action (FCCI does not seek monetary damages).  The Company has counterclaimed against FCCI for breach of the subject insurance policy, and seeks recovery of defense costs incurred in the underlying matter, amounts paid in settlement thereof, and fees and expenses incurred in litigating with FCCI.  The court recently denied a motion by FCCI for judgment on the pleadings, and the parties are proceeding with discovery.  We intend to aggressively pursue all remedies in this matter and believe that the courts will ultimately find that FCCI had a duty to provide coverage in the US Labs litigation.

Dr. Peter Kohn
 
In October 2004, Dr. Peter Kohn resigned as Lab Director of NeoGenomics. His employment contract with the Company ended September 30, 2004 and was not renewed. There was communication between Mr. Thomas White, former CEO and Dr. Kohn in October regarding health coverage and unused vacation time. In November 2004, the company received correspondence from Terry and Frazier, LLP, Dr. Kohn’s attorney relating to health care coverage, unused vacation time and business expenses related to November 2004. Mr. White responded that the Company would use the unpaid vacation time to cover Dr. Kohn’s health insurance until the issue is resolved and that the business expenses fell outside the contract terms and therefore would not be reimbursed. Dr. Kohn’s contract stipulated that this agreement superseded all prior agreements and therefore prior claims related to prior agreements were resolved with the signing of the most recent agreement. The Company believes that it has a strong documented case relating to its position regarding Dr. Kohn’s claims which would hold up in any court proceeding.  However, in the event that the Company is found to be liable for some or all of Dr. Kohn’s claims, the amounts in question would not be material to the ongoing operations of the Company.  The Company booked accrued severance expense of $12,352 to cover Dr. Kohn’s unused vacation pay up to the date of his termination and paid approximately $400/month to cover his health insurance against this accrual until June of 2007 when the Company was notified that Dr. Kohn had gotten insurance elsewhere.
 
On January 12, 2005, the Company received a complaint filed in the Circuit Court for Seminole County, Florida by its former Laboratory Director, Dr. Peter Kohn.  The complaint alleged that the Company owed Dr. Kohn approximately $22,000 in back vacation pay and other unspecified damages.  The Company believes that it owes Dr. Kohn no more than approximately $12,352, of which it has already paid substantially all of this by virtue of the Company continuing to pay Dr. Kohn’s health insurance premiums.
 
On March 5, 2007, the Company received an amended complaint filed in the Circuit Court for Seminole County, Florida by Dr. Kohn.  The complaint alleges the following (a) that Dr. Kohn is owed $12,600 for 22 unused vacation days and 4 unused sick days resulting from his first contract from Oct 2002 to Sept 2003; (b) that Dr. Kohn is owed $14,054 for 25 unused vacation days and four unused sick days (at a rate of $484.64/day), (c) that Dr. Kohn is owed $10,664 for thirty days of notice time from Oct 7, 2004 to Nov 5, 2004 and $917 for rent reimbursement and $442 for meal and auto expense, and (d) that Dr. Kohn is entitled to recoup legal fees.
 
The Company believes that all of Dr. Kohn’s claims related to the first contract (see (a) above) are unenforceable since the second contract clearly stated that it superseded all prior claims.  With respect to Dr. Kohn’s claims in paragraph (b) above, the Company has acknowledged that it owed Dr. Kohn $12,352 as of the date of termination for 25 days of unused vacation time and has been using this money to pay his insurance premiums.  The Company further believes that Dr. Kohn’s claims from (c) above are without merit, since the contract had already lapsed on Sept 30, 2004 and the Company received an email message from Dr. Kohn saying that he had resigned.  Thus, either of the above reasons would have obviated the need for 30 days notice.   Similarly, the Company does not believe that Dr. Kohn is entitled to attorneys fees.
 
In March 2007, the Company filed a motion to dismiss most of the third amended complaint, except for the count dealing with the unused vacation pay from the second contract (count b above), which the Company has acknowledged that it owed to Dr. Kohn.  On May 1, 2007, the judged dismissed two of the four counts that the Company had requested be dismissed.  On June 13, 2007, the Company filed its answer to Dr. Kohn’s remaining claims and the both sides are currently engaged in discovery.  There has been no meaningful activity on this case since the summer of 2007, and no trial has been set for the remaining matters.  Should Dr. Kohn continue to pursue this action, the Company intends to vigorously pursue its defense of this matter, and even if the Company were found liable for Dr. Kohn’s claims, the Company does not believe the amounts in question would be material to the ongoing operations of the Company.

Thomas Schofield
 
On January 16, 2009, the Borrower initiated litigation against Thomas Schofield, who had served as the Borrower’s Director of Operations from June 2005 until his resignation in late December 2008.  The suit, which was filed in the Circuit Court for the Twentieth Judicial District in and for Lee County Florida (the “Court”), sought the enforcement of Mr. Schofield’s Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement.  An emergency trial was held on January 28, 2009 in Fort Myers, FL.  At such trial the judge affirmed in part and denied in part the Borrower’s request for a preliminary injunction against Mr. Schofield and his new employer, Laboratory Corporation of America (Lab Corp.).  On April 2, 2009, the Court issued a written ruling with the specific injunction.  The injunction enjoins Mr. Schofield from working in any management capacity other than as Director of  Logistics for Lab Corp within 1,000 miles of the Borrower’s main headquarter facility in Fort Myers.  The order also enjoins Mr. Schofield from soliciting any of the Borrowers customers either individually or in concert with Lab Corp.
 
Other Litigation in the Normal Course of Business
 
The Credit Parties are also subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business where (a) the amount in controversy does not exceed $50,000 and (b) no injuctive relief is being sought by the parties.  We do not expect the ultimate costs to resolve these matters to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
