(i)         First, to pay Approved Budget Expenses, including compensation to all PC employees, and the budgeted monthly draw to Dr. Imam;

 

(ii)        Next, to pay one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual Administrative Service Fee reflected in Schedule B;

 

(iii)       Then, to other expenses of the PC that are not part of the Approved Budget Expenses but that have been incurred by the PC;

 

(iv)       the remaining balance shall be allocated at the PC’s discretion.

 

Section 6.4     Fair Market Value Administrative Services Fee. The PC and the Administrator agree that the Administrative Service Fee set forth in Schedule B reflects the result of an arms-length negotiation between the Parties. An independent third-party appraisal was obtained in an effort to establish the Administrative Service Fee set forth in Schedule B at fair market value. The PC and the Administrator may each obtain additional independent third-party appraisals during the Term as each sees fit in its sole and absolute discretion, at its cost.

INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

 

Section 8.1     Insurance.

 

(a)       The PC agrees and covenants to maintain, at its sole cost and expense, on behalf of the PC, malpractice insurance in the minimum amount of $1,300,000.00 per occurrence and $3,900,000.00 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement. The PC shall provide the Administrator with a copy of such policy or policies. The policy shall provide for at least thirty (30) days advance written notice from the insurer to the Administrator of any alteration, cancellation or termination of the foregoing coverage.

 

(b)       The PC covenants and agrees to require all professional personnel hired or contracted by it and who perform services for the PC, at their own cost and expense or at the cost and expense of the PC, to maintain malpractice insurance in the minimum amounts indicated in Section 8.1(a). Such policies shall provide for thirty (30) days advance written notice to the Administrator from the insurer of any alteration, cancellation or termination of the foregoing coverage. In the event of receipt of such notice, the PC shall immediately advise the Administrator of any such alteration, cancellation or termination of malpractice coverage. 

 

Section 8.2     Indemnification.

 

(a)       The PC shall indemnify, defend and hold the Administrator, its officers, directors, employees, agents and consultants harmless, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, causes of action and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), not covered by insurance (collectively, “Losses”), whenever arising or incurred, that are caused or asserted to have been caused, directly or indirectly, by or as a result of: (i) the performance of medical or other professional services; and/or (ii) the performance of any intentional acts or negligent acts or omissions by the PC and/or its agents, employees and/or contractors (other than Administrator).

 

(b)       The Administrator shall indemnify, defend and hold the PC, its officers, directors, employees, agents and consultants, harmless from and against any and all Losses, whenever arising or incurred, that are caused or asserted to have been caused, directly or indirectly, by or as a result of the performance of any intentional acts or negligent acts or omissions by the Administrator and/or its agents, employees and/or contractors (other than the PC) during the term of this Agreement.

 

(c)       Any party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall give the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) prompt written notice of each claim for which it seeks indemnification. Failure to give such prompt notice shall not relieve Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation; provided that such indemnification obligation shall be reduced by any damages the Indemnitor demonstrates it has suffered resulting from a failure to give prompt notice hereunder. The Indemnitor, at its own expense, shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim. If at any time the Indemnitor acknowledges in writing that the claim is fully indemnifiable by it under this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall have the right to assume control of the defense of such claim at its own expense. If the Indemnitor does assume control of the defense of any such claim in accordance with the foregoing sentence, then: (x) the Indemnitor shall not defend the claim for which indemnification is being sought in any manner that would likely have a material adverse effect on the Indemnitee or on any relationship that the Indemnitee may have with any customers, vendors, suppliers, patients, or others, and (y) the Indemnitee shall not settle such claim without the written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Nothing contained in this Section shall prevent either party from assuming control of the defense and/or settling any claim against it for which indemnification is not sought under this Agreement.

 

 Page 15 of 25

 

(d)       The provisions of this Section 8.2 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

(e)       Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, PC and Administrator agree that in relation to each other, PC and Administrator shall not have any right to sue for or collect, and PC and Administrator shall never have any liability or responsibility whatsoever to the other for, any incidental, or consequential damages, whether proximately or remotely related to any default of the other under this Agreement, or any act, omission or negligence of PC or Administrator or their respective agents, contractors or employees, as the case may be, and PC and Administrator hereby waive any and all such rights.
