Exhibit 10.22b

 

3.          Perfexion Upgrade.

 

3.1           Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, GKF, at GKF's cost and expense, shall upgrade the Model 4C to the Equipment described in Recital C above (the "Perfexion Upgrade"). GKF shall be responsible for all third party costs related to installation and rigging associated with the Perfexion and de-installation of the Model 4C. In connection with the Perfexion Upgrade, GKF shall also upgrade the flooring and painting in the Medical Center gamma knife suite. In connection with the Perfexion Upgrade, Medical Center, at Medical Center's cost and expense, shall provide GKF with Medical Center personnel (including Medical Center physicists) and services upon request and as required by GKF, among other things, to oversee, supervise and assist with construction and compliance with local, state and federal regulatory requirements and with nuclear regulatory compliance issues and the calibration of the Perfexion, and modification of the Determination of Need, as necessary. Subject to Medical Center's compliance with Section 3.2 below, GKF shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Perfexion Upgrade in the Fall of 2013. The Parties agree that, once the Model 4C is no longer operable due to the commencement of de-installation, GKF will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the installation and rigging of the Perfexion within six (6) weeks (the “Down Period”) so as to minimize the interruption of Medical Center’s services to its patients. GKF will provide Medical Center with not less than sixty (60) days notice of the approximate dates of the Down Period so that Medical Center can appropriately manage patient scheduling.

 

3.2           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Perfexion Upgrade shall be performed by GKF only after all licenses, permits, approvals, consents and authorizations necessary and appropriate for the Perfexion Upgrade, including, without limitation, the proper handling of the cobalt-60 (collectively, the "Permits"), have been obtained by Medical Center at Medical Center's sole cost and expense (other than any filing or registration fees which shall be paid for by GKF). The timing and procedure for such Perfexion Upgrade shall be as mutually agreed upon between the parties. Medical Center represents and warrants to GKF that the Site and shielding in the vault for the Perfexion are compliant with all applicable Nuclear Regulatory Commission and other federal and state requirements.

 

3.3           GKF confirms and warrants that the Perfexion fits into the existing footprint of the Model 4C, that there is no need for construction at the site (other than minor modifications to be made by GKF as needed), and that Medical Center’s site meets all requirements of the Site Planning Criteria, as that term is used in the purchase agreement between Elekta, Inc. and GKF; provided that, in so warranting, GKF relies upon the warranties and representations made by Medical Center under the Prior Lease and in this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 3.2 above (all of which representations and warranties shall survive and remain in full force and effect).       

 

3.4           Medical Center warrants that it shall utilize its best efforts to fulfill on an expeditious basis its obligations under this Section 3. Medical Center further warrants that it shall on a regular basis keep GKF informed of Medical Center's progress in fulfilling its obligations pursuant to this Section 3.

 

2
Exhibit 10.22b

 

3.5           Upon receipt of Elekta’s report on the results of the Acceptance Tests (as defined in the LGK Agreement), Medical Center shall have three (3) business days to review and validate the results of the Acceptance Tests to confirm that the Perfexion meets the manufacturer’s specifications and documentation. If Medical Center fails to respond within such three (3) business day period, Medical Center shall be deemed to have validated and confirmed the results of the Acceptance Tests.

 

3.6           It is understood by the parties that GKF is not responsible for any additional upgrades, hardware, cobalt reloading, software changes and/or other modifications to the Perfexion except as expressly set forth herein or otherwise agreed upon in writing by Medical Center and GKF.

 

3.7           Unless Medical Center notifies GKF at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Term that Medical Center wishes to further extend the Term of its Lease Agreement with GKF upon such terms as shall be mutually agreed upon in writing between the parties, GKF shall remove the Perfexion, at its sole expense, within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Term.

 

3.8           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (i) GKF shall de-install, remove and retain all ownership rights and title to the existing Model 4C; (ii) GKF shall acquire and hold title to the Perfexion; and (iii) Medical Center shall have no ownership interest (or option to purchase any ownership interest) in the Model 4C and/or the Perfexion.

 

3.9           On the date on which the Model 4C is no longer operable due to the commencement of its de-installation (the “Early Termination Date”), the Prior Lease shall be terminated and of no further force and effect; provided, however, that those provisions of the Prior Lease that are expressly stated or intended to survive termination of the Prior Lease shall survive and remain applicable beyond the Early Termination Date.

 

4.          Additional Services of GKF.

 

4.1           GKF shall provide maintenance and service of the Equipment as needed for the term of this Agreement to keep the Equipment in a good state of repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, including but not limited to providing a minimum of two PMI (Preventative Maintenance Inspections) per year and repair work as needed. GKF agrees to exercise due and proper care in the repair and maintenance of the Equipment. GKF shall have the right of access to the Equipment for the purpose of inspecting same at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice. In the event the Equipment is improperly used by Medical Center or its employees, agents, officers and physicians, GKF may service or repair the same as needed and such expense shall be paid by Medical Center, unless the repair is covered by the Repair Service Agreement, if any, referenced in Section 17, below.

 

4.2           Use of the calibration phantom system by the Medical Center as requested by the Medical Center, based on availability.

 

3
Exhibit 10.22b

 

4.3           Training of Medical Center staff on the proper use of the Equipment (i) at the time of installation of the Perfexion and (ii) at the request of Medical Center for the term of this Agreement, such requests not to exceed more than one request annually;

 

4.4           Upon the termination of this Agreement, the de-installation and removal of the Perfexion, including any third party costs (but excluding Medical Center costs). Medical Center, at Medical Center's cost and expense, shall provide GKF with Medical Center personnel (including Medical Center physicists) and services upon request and as required by GKF to oversee, supervise and assist with such de-installation and removal.

 

5.          [Intentionally omitted.]

 

6.          Term of the Agreement. The initial term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence as of the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated or extended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, shall continue until the date that is six (6) years after the date on which the first procedure using the Perfexion is performed at the Site (the "First Procedure Date"). Medical Center's obligation to make the rental payments to GKF for the Equipment as described in Paragraph 7 below shall commence on the first day of the first full month after the Effective Date of this Agreement. The rental payments described in Paragraph 7 shall apply to the Model 4C until such time as it is upgrade to the Perfexion, and shall then continue to apply to the Perfexion for the duration of the Term of this Agreement.

 

7.          Per Procedure Payments. Medical Center shall pay to GKF the applicable per procedure payment as specified in Exhibit 2 for the use of the Equipment, subject to adjustment as set forth in Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b) below. A "procedure" shall be defined as a single patient treatment session using the Equipment provided by GKF pursuant to this Agreement, that may include one or more isocenters during that session. Medical Center shall be billed on the fifteenth (15th) and the last day of each month for the actual number of procedures performed during the first and second half of the month, respectively. Medical Center shall pay for the procedures invoiced within thirty (30) days after being invoiced.

 

  The parties acknowledge that the compensation payable by Medical Center for the Perfexion as set forth in this Agreement has been negotiated by the parties at arm’s length based upon reasonable and jointly derived assumptions regarding the capacity for clinical services available from the Perfexion, Medical Center’s capabilities in providing high quality radiation oncology services, market dynamics, GKF’s risk in providing the Perfexion, and the provision to GKF of a reasonable rate of return on its investment in support of the Perfexion. Based thereon, the parties believe that the rent payments represent fair market value for the use of the Perfexion, the de-installation and removal of the Model 4C, the Perfexion upgrade, maintenance and service, personal property taxes, cost of insurance coverage for the Perfexion, and any other additional services and costs to be provided or paid for by GKF pursuant to this Agreement. Medical Center undertakes no obligation to perform any minimum number of procedures on the Perfexion, and the use of the Perfexion for the performance of procedures is wholly based upon the independent judgment of physicians who order such procedures to meet the medical needs of their patients.

Exhibit 10.22b

 

(a)          If at any time or from time-to-time after the Effective Date, the Medical Center’s Commercial Rate with any "Designated Payor" (excluding those covered in 7(b) below), is increased or decreased such that the new Commercial Rate for such Designated Payor is greater or less than the "Base Commercial Rate" for that Designated Payor (or the then current Commercial Rate if the Non-Medicare Fee Per Procedure rates shown in Exhibit 2 for such Designated Payor have previously been revised pursuant to this subsection) by *, then, (1) Medical Center shall notify GKF thereof in writing (but without disclosing the identity of the Designated Payor) within thirty (30) days of any such increase or decrease and shall provide GKF with reasonably sufficient documentation evidencing the revised Commercial Rate for that Designated Payor (and the amount of the increase or decrease), including, without limitation, copies of the applicable contractual language or fee schedule (with the identity of the Designated Payor redacted), and any remittance advices, EOBs or other documentation showing the payments made to Medical Center by such Designated Payor immediately before and after the subject increase or decrease to its Commercial Rate, it being understood that such documentation may become available following the effective date of such increase or decrease and that Medical Center shall provide such documentation to GKF as and when available; (2) effective in the next billing cycle after said notification (provided that such increase or decrease to the Commercial Rate is then effective), the fee for procedures performed on patients who are assigned to or enrolled with such Designated Payor shall be equal to the Non-Medicare Fee Per Procedure rates as shown in Exhibit 2 (or the then current Non-Medicare Fee Per Procedure rates for such Designated Payor if said Non-Medicare Fee Per Procedure rates have previously been revised pursuant to this subsection), increased or decreased therein by * of the dollar-for-dollar increase or decrease to the Commercial Rate for that Designated Payor; and (3) the Non-Medicare Fee Per Procedure rates set forth in Exhibit 2 for all other Designated Payors shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. For example, if a Designated Payor’s Commercial Rate decreases by * from the Base Commercial Rate (which, for purposes of this example, is assumed to exceed the * threshold above), then, each Non-Medicare Fee Per Procedure rate shown in Exhibit 2 for that Designated Payor shall be decreased by *.

 

(b)          If at any time or from time-to-time after the Effective Date, the "Medicare Rate" is increased or decreased such that the new Medicare Rate is greater or less than the "Base Medicare Rate" (or the then current Medicare rate if the Medicare Fee Per Procedure rates shown in Exhibit 2 have previously been revised pursuant to this subsection) by * or more, then, (1) Medical Center shall notify GKF thereof in writing within thirty (30) days of any such increase or decrease and shall provide GKF

 

(c)          with reasonably sufficient documentation evidencing the revised Medicare Rate (and the amount of the increase or decrease), including, without limitation, copies of the applicable contractual language or fee schedule (with the identity of the Designated Payor redacted), and any remittance advices, EOBs or other documentation showing the payments made to Medical Center immediately before and after the subject increase or decrease to its Medicare Rate, it being understood that such documentation may become available following the effective date of such increase or decrease and that Medical Center shall provide such documentation to GKF as and when available; (2) effective in the next billing cycle after said notification (provided that such increase or decrease to the revised Medicare Rate is then effective), the fee for procedures performed on Medicare patients shall be equal to the Medicare Fee Per Procedure rates as shown in Exhibit 2 (or the then current Medicare Fee Per Procedure rates if said Medicare Fee Per Procedure rates have previously been revised pursuant to this subsection), increased or decreased therein by * of the dollar-for-dollar increase or decrease to the Medicare Rate. For example, if the Medicare Rate increases by * over the Base Medicare Rate (which, for purposes of this example, is assumed to exceed the * threshold above), then, each Medicare Fee Per Procedure rate shown in Exhibit 2 shall be increased by *.

Exhibit 10.22b

 

(e)          Within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any proceedings against Medical Center seeking reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceedings shall not have been dismissed, or if within thirty (30) days after the appointment without Medical Center's consent or acquiescence of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of it or of all or any substantial part of its assets and properties, such appointment shall not be vacated.

Exhibit 10.22b

 

3.6.          Intellectual Property.

 

(a)          End User hereby acknowledges that the trademarks Gamma Knife® and Leksell Gamma Knife® (collectively, the “Mark”) are protected by United States federal registrations and the Mark constitutes valuable intellectual property of an affiliate of Elekta in which it has established substantial goodwill. End User hereby acknowledges that proper use of the Mark in any advertising of End User’s own surgical services performed with the LGK® surgical instrument is highly important to maintaining such value and goodwill.

 

(b)          Subject to the terms and conditions of this section, Elekta, as agent for Elekta Instrument, S.A. of Geneva, Switzerland, the owner of the Mark, hereby grants End-User a non-exclusive, royalty-free license without right to sublicense solely for the purpose of using the Mark in connection with the promotion and advertising of any of End User’s own services to be performed by use of the LGK® surgical instrument.

 

(c)          End User, in the conduct of End User’s business, is strictly prohibited from using the Mark in or as its official legal name. However, End User may use the trademark as part of the following fictitious trade name:

 

“Gamma Knife® Center of Tufts Medical Center”

 

As long as End User utilizes a fictitious trade name which includes the Mark, End User shall not perform radiosurgical services with any equipment other than the LGK®. If End User performs any radiosurgical service with any equipment other than the LGK® or if End User ceases to perform radiosurgical services with the LGK®, End User shall immediately cease utilizing the Mark as part of its fictitious trade name. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, End User shall be entitled to use the Elekta Axesse system to perform radiological services at Tufts Medical Center.

 

(d)          In advertising, references to the Mark must include the registration symbol ® and such symbol must be used at least once per piece of advertising material along with the words “Gamma Knife® and Leksell Gamma Knife® are U.S. federally registered trademarks of Elekta Instrument S.A.., Geneva, Switzerland” somewhere in the advertisement. Elekta reserves the right to require End User to discontinue the use of advertising that does not conform to such requirements.

 

(e)          End User may use the words “Gamma Knife® Center of [add distinctive name]” as part of any internet domain name, or URL, telephone number or other communications address or symbol provided that the full name, “Gamma Knife® Center of [add distinctive name]” is used. User may use a variation or abbreviation of such term only after obtaining Elekta’s prior written consent to the proposed use in question. User may not under any circumstances, use the words “gamma Knife® ” alone, for any internet domain name, or URL, telephone number or other communications address or symbol.

 

(f)          All advertising or promotional materials in which the mark is utilized shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations as well as the standards of proper advertising.

 

(g)          Elekta shall have the right to terminate the license granted in this section with immediate effect if End User violates any provision of this section or utilizes the Mark in any manner which, in the sole opinion of Elekta, presents a reasonable possibility of damage to the Mark.

 

(h)          Upon termination of the license granted by this section, End User shall immediately cease all use of the mark, including, but not limited to, the use permitted under subsection (e) of this section.

 

(i)          Buyer acknowledges that a breach of any of its covenants or agreements hereunder will cause immediate and irreparable harm to Elekta and Elekta Instrument S.A. End User acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for any such breach, and End User agrees that in the event of such a breach Elekta shall be entitled to injunctive relief and such other relief as any court with jurisdiction may deem just and proper.

 

ARTICLE IV. CONFIDENTIALITY

 

4.1           End User shall treat and maintain as confidential all technical information and know-how to it pursuant to this Agreement (including LGK® Software), except for know-how specifically designated as non-confidential pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise so designated by the Elekta. End User shall not disclose any aspect of such know-how (including the LGK® Software) to any other Person, including any corporation or governmental or quasi-governmental agency; provided that, End User shall have the right to disclose such know-how to its employees and resident physicians to the extent necessary for use of the LGK®, but End User shall be responsible to ensure that such know-how is not disclosed by such persons.

 

4.2           The provisions of this Article IV shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall apply with equal force to any technical information or know-how concerning the LGK® acquired by End User other than pursuant to this Agreement.

 

4.4           The obligations of confidentiality and restriction of access pursuant to this Article IV shall not apply to any trade secret or confidential information that was (a) in the public domain at the time of such access or subsequently came in to the public domain through no fault of the Person subject to the provisions of Article IV; (b) rightfully known to the Person given such access prior to such access or developed independently by the Person given such access; (c) received by the Person given such access as a matter of right from a source other than a Person subject to the provisions of this Article IV; or (d) required to be disclosed by subpoena or court order, but Buyer shall give immediate notice of such subpoena or court order to Elekta and shall request the court to grant confidential treatment to the confidential information disclosed pursuant to such subpoena or court order.

 

ARTICLE V. WARRANTY AND REPAIR SERVICE AGREEMENT

 

5.1           Elekta provides the warranty for the LGK® set forth in Exhibit C hereto.

 

ARTICLE VI. EXCUSABLE DELAYS

 

If the performance of this Agreement by Elekta or Buyer or any obligation of Elekta or Buyer hereunder is prevented, restricted or interfered with by reason of fire, explosion, acts of God, labor disputes or accidents affecting performance under this Agreement, or war, mobilization, civil commotions, blockade or embargo, or any law, regulation, ordinance or requirement of any government or regulatory agency, or any other act whatsoever similar to those above enumerated, or any other circumstance being beyond the reasonable control of Elekta or Buyer, then and in that event Elekta or Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other parties hereto of the resulting difficulties therefrom, and any of the foregoing events shall excuse any performance required under this Agreement.
