        2. Provider Photograph
        3. Enhanced profile design / layout
        4. Local call tracking number provided by Healthgrades
        5. All competitive advertising will be removed from Designated Provider and Practice Location Pages where “Designated Provider” means any individual healthcare provider practicing in an Approved Specialty who is either employed by Customer or is a partner in Customer’s healthcare practice group, and who has been designated by Customer as participating in the Premium Profile Program; and “Practice Location Page” means practice location-branded profile prepared by Healthgrades.
      2. Featured Listing on Physician Search Results. “Featured Listing” means each listing of designated providers or practices in Customer’s Market Area displayed on the search results pages on Healthgrades.com. The order of Featured Listings identified on the Search Results Pages shall appear in a randomized order based upon specialty and geography. For each subsequent new search conducted on the Site, the Featured Listings may appear in a re-randomized order.
  1. Call Concierge Service. Healthgrades will provide to Customer an answering service to support clinic staff in fielding incoming appointment related calls originating from the Healthgrades-provided tracking number on each Premium Provider Profile Page. If the provider office location is unable to answer the telephone after three rings (e.g. after hours, during lunch, etc.), the call will be transferred directly to Healthgrades’ call center. Healthgrades will collect patient demographic information and appointment related preferences, contact practice to transfer patient information to practice staff, and confirm appointment time and details. Healthgrades will also provide confirmed appointment information to the patient, as well as pre and post appointment reminders, via email and/or SMS text message.
  2. Patient Experience Score landing pages.

The Matching Data shall be submitted in an electronic format to be mutually determined by Customer and Healthgrades, such as Excel.

If Customer and Healthgrades are unable to confirm that such Non-Matched Designated Providers are licensed to practice in an Approved Specialty (as described in the Order Form) in the state where they practice, such providers shall be deemed non-participating in the Service (the Program or Premium Profile Program) and shall not be included as Designated Providers.
    3. From time-to-time during the Term (period of time commencing on the Launch Date of the Program and continuing until the expiration date reflected on the cover page, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the Agreement.)

Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, Customer will promptly pay Healthgrades the Fees that are due and outstanding as of the date of such termination for the Services that Healthgrades has performed prior to the date of the termination.

The provisions of Sections 2, 3(a), 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of this Exhibit “B” will survive the expiration of this Agreement or its termination for any reason.

11.  Access to Records.

Upon the written request of the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Comptroller General of the Government Accounting Office, or their authorized representatives, Healthgrades shall make available all contracts, books, documents and other records necessary to verify the nature and extent of the costs of providing services under this Agreement. Such inspection shall be available for a period of four (4) years after the furnishing of Services hereunder. If Healthgrades carries out any of the duties of this Agreement through a subcontract with a related organization with a value of $10,000 or more over a twelve (12) month period, Healthgrades agrees to include this requirement in any such subcontract. No attorney-client, accountant-client, or other legal privilege will be deemed to have been waived by Customer or Healthgrades by virtue of this Agreement.

Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator unless the amount in dispute exceeds $250,000. If the amount in dispute exceeds $250,000, it shall be decided by three arbitrators, one independent arbitrator to be selected by each party and the two-party appointed arbitrators to agree upon the third. Under no circumstances are the arbitrators authorized to award damages contrary to the No Consequential Damages provision of this Agreement. The arbitration shall be held in a mutually agreed upon location. Absent the written agreement of the parties, or an order by the arbitrator(s) based upon compelling evidence of need, there shall be no discovery in the arbitration. The arbitrator(s) shall be authorized to award costs and attorney’s fees or to allocate them between the parties. Any court with jurisdiction shall enforce this clause and enter judgment on any award. Healthgrades and Customer will agree upon, within 45 days after arbitration is initiated or, if they fail to agree, the AAA will design, procedures that they will follow to assure that the arbitration will be concluded and the award rendered within a target time frame of no more than four (4) months from selection of the arbitrator(s). Nothing in this section is intended to prevent either party from obtaining interim injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Any notice or approval required or permitted under this Agreement will be given in writing and will be sent by telefax, courier or mail, postage prepaid, to the address specified on the cover page to this Agreement or to any other address that may be designated by prior notice.
